Survivors of Ragnarök - Who The Hell Do You Think We Are!?

So yeah.... that evil overlord thingy maaaaaybe our fault, but we can explain! Well you see...



Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there once was lived a vile and malice being known as AAA. His one purpose was to seek the complete and absolute destruction of Survivors of Ragnarok. Before he could fulfill his grim life's calling a mighty and valiant hero known as Chuck Norris came to battle the beast.



Legend has it this battle between these two titans was so epic it broke the space-time-continuum and tore a whole through space and... er... time. Although we aren't theoretically physicist, so take what we say about space and time with a grain of salt. Unfortunately for both of them they were never heard from again (we assumed Chuckie won that fight).

The End.

Well... it looks like AAA has come back through from space and time and now seeks his revenge on ALL of indie gaming. Well what's the point of an epic spiteful villain intent on destroying all of indie gaming as we know it without an equally epic fight?



We want to show AAA the indie scene IS a big deal. We need to show him that we have more innovation in a single pixel then most triple A titles have in a whole game. That WE are the ones pushing gaming forward and pushing this medium forward! We need everyone this year to vote! I don't care if you vote for Project Zomboid, Towns, Minecraft, or McPixel we want you to cast as many votes as possible and show AAA that we aren't just a plankton being carried off by the current, but a whale traversing through the sea.



We need anyone and everyone to vote in this years award and show AAA how much of an impact we make on the gaming industry. A great man once told me, 'It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum.... and I'm all outta gum'. Well Mr. Nukem, so are we... so are we.

It's that wonderful time of year again. That time of year where the cold winter air is filled with the notions of peace on earth and good will towards men (and women). Where childhood innocence fill the hearts of even the coldest and most cynical of individuals.

The Indie/ModDB Mod/Indie of the Year Awards!



2011 Indie of the Year Awards via Indie DB

And what better way to start off the season with a long overdue update. What crazy shenanigans were those french dudes up to that prohibited a whole months worth of news post?



 

Having your artist stolen and used as slave to help out with this years award is one alibi. However there is more to it then not having your artist being able to churn out whimsical pixel art. Your wonderful coding wizard was up to some clever coding magic and has secretly been working getting the framework built for Raiders of Ragnarok. Yes... we finally have a playable tech demo of the platforming and physics for Raiders.

The engine itself took longer then expected (as with most things planned). However Raiders exists now.





This update is free to all Valkyrie, Settlers, and Chicken users alike. We still need to implement the ability to import your Survivors of Ragnarok save games into raiders which you guys can expect next update.

Luckily for our wonderful community, to make up for a whole months worth of no updates we will be doing an update a week for the whole month of December.

RANDOM EXPLOSION!


Finally we wanted to let everyone know we aren't immune or resistance to greed what-so-ever. So expect the price of the game to increase next update. If you haven't already now is the perfect time adopt a pig before the inevitable $59.99 price tag.




We hope everyone enjoys raiders and don't forget to vote for us in this years IndieDB Awards!
