Exactly Stevie G lol.

Well, my main initial thoughts were, wow, very knight lore esque. I see what you mean about the main character graphics, and the notion it's slotting in between existing games.... So not a remake, if the main character was modified to say have a pointy hat... That's do it. But.... Hey, were doing this for fun, and straight away I was impressed with his efforts, but the character may need to be a little more.... Original? Good work anyways.

ok,ok,ok..... 

Pith helmet gone and cowel now added (and not the Simon variety)

Maybe the character takes of the cowel and there's something 'else' underneath???

[Steve Elliott]

Marvellous.

[GaborD]

The new char looks great

I didn't consider it a remake. Just an unofficial follow up in the series but the cowl definitely gives it more of an individual identity now - I think it's better. Keep up the good work.

Just remembered the other isometric game I use to play a lot: Gunfright!

The main character in Gunfright also looks a lot like the one from Knight Lore too:

Seriously?  The main character was a complete copy of the Spectrum classic with 2 extra colours added as Stevie showed.  Adam's changed it now so all's good.  Looking like a great competition entry.

Yes. Even the change to isometric for something in the vein of Sabre Wulf made the difference. I agree that directly remaking a game is pointless - especially with the same graphics. Making something in the vein/spirit of the original with enough changes to make it a good game in its own right and, more importantly, a challenge to put together, is a worthwhile entry.

Exciting stuff, interesting to see what happens with the cowl of.... 

[iWasAdam]

ok, more work....

Name changed to "Viva-Mortis 3071" 
main character has undergone a bit more work...


And he does take the cowel off...

[Derron]

His arms are "thin as bones" ... hope the "Walking Death" does not hurt the environmental flora and fauna - just the bad guys who want to cut the trees, kidnap the apes and feed the parrots with alcohol-stuffed berries.

ok, now for a shot of what was... 

[Derron]

A pink-colored cannon fodder would have suited to that title shot too
