I put this on my dev site this morning, so I'll just quote it here. Yes, it's yet another game :). (Hopefully packaged correctly this time)

So I spent the entire yesterday moving the GUI around, testing, and packaging the game knights for the maemo platform. Knights is a reproduction of the Amiga game "Reaper" (Can't find a wiki page for it). This is a fun game for two players where each player controls a knight and they complete generated quests on generated maps - very fun. Link/More Descriptions: http://knightsgame.org.uk/ Game Devblog: http://knightsgame.org.uk/blog/ by Stephen Thompson. I will be sure to have this in fremantle extras-devel soon. As for Diablo, I don't think it will be happening, Boost 1.34 is the latest and last version on Diablo, so maybe Mer :). Here are some screens of the redesign: (In the SDK everything runs slow so its not yet playable in there)

Anyways, it should be in extras-devel in a couple minutes/hours

I'm alone here and I couldn't test with another player. At least it installs and boots without problems. The initial screens are there with all the options. I'll get stuch until finding a second player in a LAN or until getting the time and patience to see what needs to be done to play online.

You know, I have never played this game before...

Heh, it's still very slow in the SDK so I doubt you could play a normal game. The object of the game is to complete the quests. There are a variety of quests, but each tells you exactly what to do in the description box. As for the internet game, you type your name into the nick input box, hit enter, double click the only server that pops up, then join a game on the list there. (There aren't many people).

I actually have real hardware at hand. This is why I'm willing to give it a try to see if it has a decent performance there.

Ah cool, I could hop onto the internet server if you have time today.

Actually, the game has been called Knights since the beginning. Reaper used to be the handle/nick of the developer.

Ah right, I totally read the credits page wrong, heh. Thanks.
