PiranhA Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Ahoy everyone, Only some of us know the game, the black death: a medieval survival game. Yes, i agree the market is bombarded with survival games at the moment and theres still some big titles on its way, mount and blade II for example. The black death is still in early acces and we all know what that can mean: a big failure and money gone. And it happens alot. Ive experienced it multiple times, devs abandoning the project when the game is barely playable. Last patch (0.09) brought the game to a decent playable level, atleast to my experience. I still keep supporting these games, and find it interesting to see the progress of failure or succes. The black death could become a true gem in my eyes and i believe the small team behind the game is very passionate, ambitious and willing to listen (very well) to the community. One of my ideas is already implemented in the last patch: https://steamcommunity.com/app/412450/discussions/0/352792037329380973/ I hope i have your attention ... but even more, i hope you see a future in playing this game. If still in doubt, take a look on the dev-blogs and other stuff on them site: http://www.small-impact.com/BlackDeath/ Now, as the title says, ill be giving away the game. For now it will be 10 "copy's" but i can become more if "all ahoyworld" is interest. If the majority of the people whom are playing the game are positive (within Ahoy), i will do many more TBD giveaways. There are some things you have to keep in mind before doing a response on this post: - You are really interested in this game. If the genre dosnt suit you or you just want to game to return it and grab the cash, move on! - Only reply if you are a ahoy-member with your forum profile made before THIS post. Your (staff) role within Ahoy is not giving any benefits or negative side effects. Some other details: i do not know (yet) how to pick the lucky ones. Im thinking of gifting the game by steam, but im not sure yet. Ill keep my eyes and ears open for suggestions. So, if youre still awake and still interest, leave a response below. You have until 15 december to reply. SkullCollector, Josh and Fabs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroZeroSix Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 If you dont mind me asking, are you some kind of dev or how did you get that amount of keys? I think the game looks fun and promising but lots of the steam reviews are speaking of many bugs as well as a pretty bad stability, any idea/thoughts on that?

SkullCollector Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 This looks incredibly grim, like a dystopian novel set in the Middle Ages. Exactly my thing. I'd normally hold off on early access games, especially ones as ambitious as these (StarForge anyone?), but this genuinely piqued my interest. Got it on my wishlist and will follow its progress. So how does the multiplayer work? I'll just assume it's similar to Rust, and if so, an AW gathering on one is as good a place as any to start the game.

Theres several classes like peasant, hunter, monk, merchant, blacksmith, beggar, knight and militia, more to be added. Building and designing your home/base from scratch is not possible, you have to buy a house. The only thing im doing so far is exploring, upgrading skills and growing/gathering food & water and running away from bandits since im a peasant. Ive explored a hidden cove a few days ago but couldnt finish it all as i needed to go back for food and water. Ive met 3 real people so far, one of them was a thief, he seemed friendly but since ive met him im missing a high quality rope. Ive been close to death 3 times, got the plague once but just survived, was near death. Theres several servers, london, frankfurt, amsterdam and some more. Every friday is fightninght, a special event organized by the devs. Fabs and SkullCollector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colsta Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 In theory it sounds amazing. I'm on the same boat as Skull - I love medieval era stuff (I have over 400 hours in Crusader Kings - which isn't much at all compared to some people), and I'm always on the lookout for good survival games. If you're praising it, I'll definitely keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just over-enthousiastic about the game. About the bugs, yes there were many, but last patch got many of them gone. Im still finding some, but hey, its early acces. I had my game crash twice today and reported them in the bug report. Most of the complaints have been (partly) solved since the last update but they wont balance the game becouse they still add stuff and want to balance in one giant step to save doing all the extra work. The progress ive seen so far is amazing, the devs are really kind and listen very well to the community. I predict this game has a great future.

TheScar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 im kinda aroused (seen ya play it) and i like the idea of a disease riddled occupation to have some fun on - not rly read into the title at all,i just have this imagination in my head and i already dont care what it takes me to ... That being said,hand me a (beta)key so i might give this a try! edit having checked the webbie of theirs,the "unique fight system" is a thing that reminds me totally to Chivalry - Medieval Warfare which i sunk a few 1000s of hours too and admin´d a Duell Server for it - which was a total destruction of new players due to the fact you needed to spend 100s of hours in practicing glitches/advanced attacks to perform vs anyone that regualry played that game ... To offtopic to be specific on this - but how is the MP part of the performing? BambiHunters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerbugUK Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I used to play a lot of early access, especially survival games. But feel a bit burned by them never being released. Stranded deep was a game I sank a lot of time in, but it just can't keep me going anymore. I won't go into details about how bad it is that Dayz is still alpha. I'd love to try this, but the gamble of paying for it is too high. I'd accept a key happily though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Itsy bitsy glitchy bugsy. Just killed a thief yesterday but dont ask me how, i was lucksy. Game needs balancing a lot, but lets say it keeps things...interesting.

ZeroZeroSix Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Is it more like Rust where you have to be online/on a multiplayer server all the time or do we have the ability to just play solo/offline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiranhA Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Online, but currently you can consider it almost singleplayer depending one the server and time of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I'll more than likely do a few videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colsta Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Played it for two hours so far. It has a lot of potential, but both the server lag and the FPS drops should be their top priority. There's a distinct lack of players as well, at least when I played it. I can see it becoming a good game, after a lot of work is put into it.

I've made a few videos I'm going to be editing up and posting on my YT channel, but so far I would say it's very, very, very early access. Lag can be insane and the NPCs appear to teleport around in an insae fashion. Combat is very clunky, and seems to favour the teleporting bad guys. Inventory management needs work, but it has been fun whilst exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
