The new version of the KKND 2 Clan is live! This version lives within Planet KKND 2 and keeps all personal data behind a member wall. So, if you want to contact others in the clan, you will need to join, verify your email address and be approved by me. Similarly, the login will use an OTP (One Time Password) sent by email. I have added support for BB Code, emoticons to the quotes and messages, added Telegram within the contact options, and there are link detections for Facebook and Steam pages. Please send across your feedback! Enjoy!
Assaracos has posted the first annual Christmas Event. Assaracos are looking for the best KKND2: Krossfire player in 2023. For this purpose, Aphidas created a new Custom Mission in horde mode with 32,767 waves. Technically you can’t win but that’s not the point, the winner is the one who has defeated the most opponents and therefore survived the longest.
I've updated the design to work a little better for both small and larger screens and a new interface for strategies. The buy the game links have been updated and most of the links for downloads should function properly now. Please get in touch if you find any issues.
KKND seems to be the inspiration for Reconquest.
It has received mixed reviews and the AI seems a little too god-like. You can check it out on Steam.
I've fixed some of the bad images on the original KKND 2 website. The version there before was missing a few files as archive.org didn't have the complete copy.
I've rewritten the beta page to include information about the newly found Alpha Build #145.
After many years of searching, we've now got our hands on an alpha version of KKnD 2. It's dated to 24 Nov 1997, numbers as build #145 and calls itself KKnD II Kollateral Damage. Sadly it doesn't seem to work properly on Windows XP, 7 and 8.1. It's playable on Windows 98, but still crashes a lot there. Like the beta from February 1998, it was meant for the press as review material and probably not as demo material for actual consumers.
Since this version has a lot of new information I'll have to update the Beta section.
You can download the alpha at our Demos section.
Stay tuned for more updates!
I've written a little page about the leaked press beta and other versions meant for the press. You can read it here.
Additionally we got a new partner from China named 0xAA55. He programmed some very neat tools for creating tile sets or even convert whole images into mission files. You should really check out his website if you are interested in KKnD 2 mapping.
Quite unexpectedly an unknown demo version of KKND 1 surfaced today: The CD-ROM version of the early prerelease demo from 1996. Check it out at our demo page.
In other news, the interview page got updated with a digital version of the PC Action article, as opposed to the scanned that we had before, and Justin's photo is now highres.
Check out the updated demo page for rare CD-ROM demos and early betas!
As my time has spent on other things recently, I am assigning a replacement for my role as webmaster: Hallfiry from Germany. He will offer a reinvigorated website with brand new content while keeping a keen eye on the details. He has been an avid fan of the series, regularly posting on the forums here, and he has plenty of web experience - running a large catalogue website: Kult CDs. Welcome to the Planet KKND 2!
I've fixed the forum. Spambots are now filtered using two screening methods and legitimate registrations will get through so new people can contribute once again.
