I had a craving for some mounted combat. Spent a good couple hours trying to make a mounted knight on a walker (OY!). Gave up on that baloney and just made it a friggin hobby-horse, lol.

I just finished my first prototype and it works really well! In the coming days I'll probably add a few variants with weapons of different kinds, and possible even take the time to create an entire other mounted knight in the same save so people can DUEL! (or joust!)

Anyways here's the first fella. Made some videos of him flailing about. Pretty funny to watch, but so fun to use!


Knight Rider.bsg (31.35 KB) Controls are up/down/left/right to move horse
Q/E to rotate torso (doesn't rotate fully, just enough for some control)
Press 1 to raise arms and 2 to lower them. It's a good idea to slightly raise the arms before your start swinging!
Shift swings the sword arm down, Left Ctrl raises it.
Z extends sword arm slightly (necessary for hitting those fellas on the ground)

A good technique is actually to swing backwards with Ctrl and to press Z to extend the arm. Since the arm locks in that direction due to the elbow, you'll get a goo power hit most times.
Let me know what you think, and perhaps what kind of knight you want next!

EDIT: And here's a few more!

Apparently you can only attach three files per post, so the rest will be posted below.

Have fun guys!
