This game is my dream come true. My name is Michal Marcinkowski and I am now a
coder and game designer but a long time ago I used to just draw simple war games on pieces
of paper with friends at school. All my life I have been looking for a computer game to experience that
same simple wonder and fun. I haven't found one so I decided to make one myself. The pencil
doodles have come to life and you too can now experience the sheer fun of them. This is the point of King Arthur's Gold... to have as much fun as possible.

BUILD'N'KILL!
A long time ago, sometime, somewhere in a land of knights in shining armour and burning peasants a war had begun...
King Arthur's Gold - affectionately known as KAG - is a unique build 'n' kill game. Think the creative aspects of Minecraft, plus the fortress-building mechanic of Dwarf Fortress, plus the strategy of Age of Empires 2, plus the fast-paced class-based craziness of Team Fortress 2... with all the unnecessary elements trimmed off, wrapped up in some cross-platform goodness and sprinkled with tasty, tasty pixels.
Why you will want to PLAY IT?
It's bloody FUN. After playing KAG you will redefine the word fun. No joke.
It's SIMPLE enough to pick up and play within 5 minutes but will hook you for months.
The demo is FREE. You don't have to spend money to try it out. It isn't even a big download!
...plus you can build a fortress in multiplayer and fight with your friends against ZOMBIES! Sorry for spoiling that, before we mention zombies you should read this wall of features:
