Not sure but I can't either. Maybe missing a codec or something...

That dungeon master looks more than a little familiar...

Had a haircut, too. Looks much more respectable. ;D

I see that the avatar Treguard has been put to good use as a series 1-3-style in-Dungeon appearance. :)

I like the tunnels, too. They seem to be a combination of the series 3 and 6 tunnels.

May I be very insensitive? I strongly believe that a Life Force clock is needed. Concerns have been raised in the past that the clock, when run continuously, would expire in about a minute, when it's supposed to last several. I agree that there is a lack of linearity. However, energy expenditure isn't linear - hence it's appropriate that the clock should only move during times of stress. This is entirely appropriate since the sight of a diminishing clock adds to the tension.

Thanks very much for the prize. I think it's extremely generous.

From the clips I've seen this looks really fantastic, the sound effects are more knightmarish than ever!

The great thing about knightmare was the problem solving aspect (and just about everything else of course ;)), and it does make kids think (certainly made me think) much more than other shows directed toward children might.

As for the viewing of this pilot footage I'm not really swayed one way or the other, I'm lucky enough to have a dvd player and internet access for downloading.

The only way is onward, there is no turning back. Oooh nasty, didn't realise the road ended there!

Only if you just look at kids shows, though (ignoring documentary style things, naturally). I mean, I still say I learnt more physics from Star Trek than from school, and I studied physics up to A2 level, so...

Am I doing something wrong? I'm not getting a download but a page with loads of strange characters. Maybe it's because I'm browsing in Netscape, but I can't see why it'd make much difference but I'll try with Avant.

Edit: With Avant it is working but I'm getting the clip (on WMP) very very slowly, where it's showing about one or two seconds, then buffering then another one or two seconds and so on. So far to watch the clip it has taken me about ten minutes or so and it's still not finished yet. I know my it's a problem my end because the I viewed the other clips with no problems it's just that I reformatted my computer recently and have not installed everything. Maybe it'll play quicker if I download it.

Ogre Part 2 has been added

EDIT: Any chance of seeing what the death sequence will be like. I'm just curious to see if it will resemble the original style (with an "Ooo Nasty" comment). ;)

Very nice part 2. And the sound works for me on both now. Yayness.

Like the ogre's intelligence... May be the stupidest speaking character in KM history, but stupid in a cute, non annoying way. Here's hoping he'll have other rolls than just being a guard :)

See what you miss when you go on holiday!

The music and the tunnel sequence was very jazzy but Treguard sounded different. As for the Ogre - would I be correct in thinking that is bva?

Would love to see the pilot - does this include differtent footage or is it just all of the clips we can access strung together?

Another clip entitled 'Puzzle Room' has been added to site. Also an 'Intro' clip has been added.

Some other clips (Lord Fear) have been removed I think

Seems the combination was Lissard backwards - inspired by one of our number methinks.

Has bva given a name to the character in the intro?
