This.is a homemade 3D mech action/fighting Dojin soft game created by Haruo Teshima. The game is popular in Japan and Hong Kong, and has a small following in the United States. The gameplay is relatively similar to the Virtual-On arcade game, in a team deathmatch style of shooter/fighter. The player is pitted against other mechs in a three-dimensional environment. The game can hold up to six players at a time, including both computer-controlled characters and player characters. The game's controls make use of the keyboard, except during "Simple Wars" which requires the use of both the keyboard and mouse. The development of this game was temporarily stopped at milestone version 0.05D, but production of new pre-alpha builds started again in January 2007. The latest stable version of the game features over 10 different mechs. However, newer versions feature only the current mech being worked on, in contrast to past comprehensive updates. The latest version is 0.12 G. Silver Knights uses DirectPlay as network method. Fan-based websites have developed a player-supported community. Network play typically requires additional technical setup. Support pages are available from the developer to instruct new users, but such pages only instruct according to specific routers and firewalls in Japanese. Therefore, for users who do not speak Japanese, setting up a router can be difficult. Many users elect to utilize Hamachi, a freeware VPN client, or Easy VPN to directly connect to other players. | ||
