10 years next year since it all ended.

Any DATES?! You're getting the wrong end of the stick here, Tom. It's not even been confirmed that they're going to make the new series, let alone when production will begin. It could still be several years away, and that's if it's going to be made at all!
Tim Child has made a demo video of how the new series would work, and that should be released for public consumption fairly soon, but the new series is FAR from a done deal.

Thanks for clearing that up for me H Storm i thought had deal had been done. Well we can wait and hope.

I have slightly different ideas to your college project. Please refrain from being so hostile to what was a simple message.
I know what you are doing, I am not saying this will take over your idea, merely add to it, that is all. By the end of the year we should have a rather large documentary sorted, now if we can conbine both sides, it shall be very successful.
Your work is not being ignored.

There seems some confusion as to the nature and purpose of the Knightmare VR demonstrator.
So to clarify: the demonstrator (or simulator) is is a real time virtual reality gaming platform.
Loaded into the system is the equivalent of one level of the old Knightmare, including a tunnel/maze layout.
Currently the simulator will operate two synchronous view points. View one is a topdown angled isometric and is simular to the controller's viewpoint in the TimeGate pilot. Once again - there will be a controller or perhaps even two (but not three).
View two is thru the eyes of the dungeoneer, who
is represented as an avatar (or player).
The simulator contains and controls four other non-playing (encounter) characters. All of these can conduct two way conversation. Some of these have a computerised database and some are directly connected through real actors behind the scenes. We hope and believe that teams using the simulator will be unable to tell the differerence!
There are also three other NPCs but these are drama characters. You can guess that they include Lord F and Lissard. There is also a new Goblin creation who is currently codenamed Beveryafraid, until I can think of a better name for him. Teams invited to play on the simulator at the London launch should be able to enjoy about 20 minutes continuous gameplay.
The simulator runs on a three machine network of 3.4 gig PCs with professional quality NVidia graphics boards.
Two machines provide the viewpoints described, and the third machine is system management.
The whole setup includes the ability to data record and store, so when it is eventually used for TV programme production, you can go back and shoot all the action again from different cameras.
Finally, Treguard's avatar version may not be used when the simulator is launched in London this spring.
Instead, he will probably attend in person.
Nick - I am posting in this thread, but you may care to start a new one?
I suspect there are going to be just a few questions.....

Can we try and think of one then?

I have one thing to say if that happens, Yay!
I may be getting the wrong end of the stick or it may have been said already, but does it mean that the whole thing is definately going be full VR then? Or am I asking a stupid question such as one which has already been answered?

If the convention idea gets off the ground (fingers crossed many, many times) let's have something in Glasgow/Edinburgh as well as London for the sake of us Scottish fans. If we're ignored we may just have to reach for the old magic claymores and do our worst...

Please, give them what they want. You don't want to even imagine what havoc Elita could cause with a claymore!

That would be so... wrenching for the mackem amongst us then, wouldn't it? I'm not far from Edinburgh, and yet, have grown used to travelling all over the country - you get used to it, to be honest - part of the excitement of it all. Still - good luck on every count.

KM does the SECC?
Now THAT would make for an interesting afternoon! There's enough room in the 'big red shed' to build the dungeon full scale, possibly including outside it... heck, if they can do Robot Wars and Thomas the Tank Engine at opposite ends of the same hall ANYTHING is possible!

This is starting to make me feel very old. I was in top-class of primary school. Knightmare ending was like the end of that part of my life.

A Knightmare only convention is probably a little far fetched (as much as I would love to see it happen). However, does anyone think it is possible to con ORGANISE any of the cast or crew to appear at an existing memoribilia convention?
Such events are held all over the country (approx twice a year here in Glasgow SECC) and 'celebs' both mainstream and obscure have been known to attend. For example, the last 'memcon' that I attended included Chris Barrie, Craig Charles and at one stage (I'm told...) Terry Pratchett. 2 tables further up the hall there was a couple of sports celebs from ye olde times that barely anyone had ever heard of (A 60s boxing champ and a few others)!
If that is possible... Surely so is KM....?
