Today, City State Entertainment is announcing the delay of the beta for Camelot Unchained. In light of this, we talk to CSE’s Mark Jacobs about the game, it’s status, and what to expect going forward.

The regularly scheduled Camelot Unchained Friday update has been published that reveals a pretty decent sized list of “the little things” the team has been working on that continue to bring everyone closer to beta launch.

CSE has continues to churn out fan content while they march through the crunch into beta. At this point we are either a few weeks, a few months, or a few days into the crunch. Frankly I can’t tell anymore and I don’t know how anyone as CSE can either! I got lost in the whirl wind of vines, tweets, emails, twitches updates, newsletters and all of the other community content they have produced since the crunch started!

The latest Camelot Unchained newsletter has been published that contains a fascinating section and stream video about whether or not gear contains stats and how it affects the power of any given item. The short answer is that weapon and armor do indeed have stats and that there are a variety of qualities for gear that can be affected by such things as the materials from which it is crafted, the skill of the crafter, etc.

Mark Jacobs is tasking the Camelot Unchained community with generating a legend or story that he will then turn into a “Becoming” story during a live Twitch.tv broadcast beginning at 7:30 pm tonight. Failure to do so will result in Mark “doing something silly” on camera — something the community of viewers votes to see him do!

The Camelot Unchained team has been hard at work at a number of features as detailed in the Friday afternoon update. In addition to the lighting system and the new launcher, the team has been hard at work on getting the bare bones crafting system and UI into place. In fact, Mark Jacobs proudly announced that he had created the first crafted sword in Camelot Unchained history.

A lot, “a lot” is roughly number of CSE updates we’ve seen over the last few of weeks (30 plus youtube videos alone). It’s almost like they planned for this or something (stirs his pot). After being in a lull (by their standards) for a few months it’s nice to see CSE firing in all cylinders. It would be impossible to cover everything, or even almost everything CSE has been showing us so I’ll have to go with…bullet points! How exciting!

The latest weekly update has been published on the Camelot Unchained site that reveals the exciting news that the team is hard at work on a game patcher, a chat system and more. The alpha version of the patcher, created by the backer group “JB and The Mod Squad”, is ‘delivered’ and the team is quite excited about it.

The Camelot Unchained team sent out a screen-packed update Saturday afternoon to introduce players to the first roll out of the new lighting system. The lighting system will be rolling out in phases, this time with the back end code that will see textures ‘tweaked’ to make them fit the new code.

One of the backers of Camelot Unchained will be taking part in a 24-hour long live stream session to show off the game’s C.U.B.E. building system. “Necromaniak” is considered to be something of a wunderkind when it comes to utilizing C.U.B.E. to make some of the game’s most astonishing structures and he’s ready to impart his knowledge to viewers.
