A King For A Day (UPDATE)

Yes.  This game is still in development!  I will be honest...  The other games - Scare Them Soulless, and Start Punks HAVE been abandoned.  They just didn't work out.  But I have always been passionate about a Medieval King game.  

  So A KING FOR A DAY is on it sway.  It will NOT be the game I original envisioned it to be.  It will not be the next Defender of the Crown!  Sorry about that...  The original version of this game failed badly.  

  Instead a I opted for a more simpler approach - an arcade style game that can be played and enjoyed in approx five to ten mins...  If the player is generous.  Basically a bit of fun.

  In my new version of the game you literally get to be a king for a day.

  You move about Britain, beat people up, make money, crush your enemies - you basically get to be the king.  You get to tour around Britain as well (and a bit of France).  You will collect resources to help you vanquish your foes.  But the game WILL be nothing more or less than a fun browser game to kill, as I mentioned before, a handful of minutes.  Just a bit of fun.  I grew up playing old medieval war games on the PC - the aforementioned Defender of the Crown, Kingmaker, Conqueror A.D. 1086, and my favourite of ALL time without ANY quarrels the first two Lords of the Ream Games.  I LOVED the later, played them like mad.  I wanted to rebuild them.  I couldn't do it, not yet anway.

  I did have some inspiration for A King For A Day.  There used to be a game for DOS I played a lot, probably older than all the titles I just mentioned, I am sure, and it was called Grail Quest - 1989 interactive fiction graphic adventure game published by Artworx.

  I played this a lot.  It was an adventure game where you wandered around Britain (after you found your horse and managed to saddle it without it running away from you!) and you visited many of the famous locals of Arthurian Britain EVEN The Tower of London which I am sure was built after the Age of King Arthur.  But o well!  Never mind.

  I remember playing this game as a child, roaming around the British isles and thinking, "Wouldn't it be great if I was the king and I ruled the land and could give out orders and fight foes?"  Well...  That is what I have tried to build!  Whether I succeeded or failed folks will no when A King For A Day finally releases...

  ...releases...  sometime in the near distant future hopefully this!

Best wishes
