Over the last 2 years a few developers have still contributed to NBK. Its been along time so i will just keep everyone updated! WFTO, which was a fork of NBK, switched to using UDK along with most of the developers. So i decided to carry on working on the NBK source and resore the name on Natural Born Keeper. Now during this time some work has been made on NBK - mainly focusing on implanting gameplay features.

WFTO, which was a fork of NBK, switched to using UDK along with most of the developers. So i decided to carry on working on the NBK source and resore the name on Natural Born Keeper. Now during this time some work has been made on NBK - mainly focusing on implanting gameplay features.

So first i would like to say thanks to all the people who have worked on the NBK source.

IKSLM - The one who started the project, and done most of the work so far.
Alan Batsford (albatsford)
Jeremy Parker (JezzaParker)
Robinson James (steriodas )
Ben Grabham (Evil.Nebster)
Bo Fjord Jensen (dotted1337)
