Spiral Knights(OT) - Of Online Free Game and Clockwork Gears

[max_cady]

Finally, after 2 long days, I got to play the first real post-preview version of the game.

It's a damn shame that I had to build up my character again and lost just about everything, including crackdude's gamertag.

Having said that. A lot has changed. Different monsters.

There aren't cuddly jelly blocks, little foxes and chameleons. I've already fought zombies and massive golems.

Good stuff.

If anybody needs to find me, I'm Chesseburger.

Perhaps, we should consider a SegaBits Spiral Knight hour. I've got FRAPs so we can record our exploits. Booya!

I think there is software to custom map anything to your game controllers. I don't know it exactly, but if Barrington and Emmet want to check that out I'm sure you could find it via some googling.

I just tried the official release of the game and was able to use my Saturn USB pad right away. Only thing that wasn't mapped was the shield, but I could rotate weapons with XY, attack with A and move about with the d-pad. Also, the start button brought up inventory.

Enjoying so far, ocassional difficulty spikes here and there.

It's kinda like an easier to pick up and play PSO.

I'm impressed. I really am. Long time have I been searching for a good MMO that actually isn't just exploring and grinding. This game feels so much more like an actual single player game, just like phantasy star online was.

Anyway my name login name is Jaouad. Add me if you like!

When I get back on, I'll re add everyone.

And if anyone wants to add me i'm Ulala

So, for those of you using a controller, I got mine kind of mapped but.... it's weird, the directions you move in are relative to the direction you're facing.  So in order to move around without having to think about it, I have to always be facing north.  This makes it hard to attack to the sides.  Is it like this for everyone?  EDIT:  Nevermind, I found this info in the wiki.  http://http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Gamepads

Also just as a general question, what do I need to do to use a PS3 controller on my PC.  I plugged it in and it recognizes it, but the four little lights just flash and it doesn't seem to be recognized by Spiral Knights when I try to map it.  I have another PC controller but the PS3 controller is nicer.

Spiral Knights on XBLA could totally work with this system in mind.

Great news btw

Hey folks, just started up and enjoying it thus far, username is Kagemaru for those who are interested. Also very excited to see an active SEGA community after my failed ventures over at SEGAFanatic.

[CrazyT]

Hey sup. Welcome to the forums and yeah it's pretty active here. I'd say you found(at least imo) "THE" SEGA website/community.

WEll anyway. I play this game pretty often so I might be there later.

Looking forward to do some dungeons with ya :D

Not to derail too much, but I noticed that now SEGAShiro is linking to this forum rather than the one they once had. Interesting because towards the end of SF I considered contacting them to merge our forums. There aren't too many of us left, we pretty much have to merge communities at this point.

Back on topic; Will definitely add you once I log back onto my desktop, but be forewarned that I am pretty much a newb at this point in time.

Hello, Welcome to the forum!

The founder of SegaShiro (DJFob) is an acquaintances of mine, when his forum had a bug or glitch of some kind he asked if he could use our forums.

I agree it’s time to link all Sega communities. Small pockets of Sega fans will wither and fade away but if there’s a big, active community then I think we can keep a much healthier fanbase. That is one of my goals with Segabits.

Yeah, I'll see about getting some of the old SEGAFanatic regulars over here. There weren't too many though. In regards to SEGAShiro; When I wrote the closing down post (which was never published) I originally recommended SEGAShiro as our replacement, is DJFob in these forums any? He should be if he isn't. Really the only major SEGA sites currently standing with proven, lasting, communities are SEGA-16 and RadioSEGA. I guess the SEGA forums, but that place is kind of frightening.... I don't think I really need to say why.

In regards to Spiral Knights: Played a bit with CrazyTails, pretty fun stuff, we did a few floors, game needs a jump button even though I am not sure what they would use it for, maybe work it into some combos? Will likely be playing later tonight.
