Hey all... One of our webmasters pointed me to your site because we noticed a few links, and wanted to check them out. Let me say that I'm excited to see people using the KK engine. We built it over the course of a week with a few programmers, and really intended for it to be a look at how to potentially build a web RPG. We didn't expect to see prolific use of it, and honestly, if you all manage to take it and run with it, we couldn't be happier (so keep up the good work!) We also have a few notes that we want you guys to have that may be helpful in building future games: 1. The engine requires the PEAR PHP Library. This can either be installed at the system level, or the local level. 2. The engine requires MySQL support (that's why the DB is required) 3. The DB table is not optimized, and should be adjusted for more complex games (don't throw everything into one table) 4. The engine is a start, and has some obvious holes (like the infamous negative purchase bug, where you purchase negative water balloons, and spend the money on lawnmowers). I have to make it clear, that we can't support the engine... but we totally applaud your use of it. Any game that goes up that uses our engine at all...even for inspiration, is something we can be proud of. I hope you all continue to use it, and I look forward to playing your games (when I'm not busy making ours).

Re: Potential First, I'd like to say that we're glad to see people using the engine. We are always happy to see people using it (its a project we were asked to do over a short period of time, and we didn't have the opportunity to do everything with the engine we would have liked. Its an example to give you a START to one of these projects...) Second, I see a LOT of questions about DB.php. That's related to the PEAR library. You need PEAR installed on your server in order to use the engine. You can either do this locally, or do it for the whole server (I would strongly suggest for your whole server, as PEAR is a fairly useful library on the whole). So... I'm impressed that you all found the engine... and very happy to see you using it... and wish you all the best in your web game RPGS (and look forward to playing them all).
