New LOKI version released on 11march. Just installed it, it's all new and shiny. Even shelled out for the platinum version.

Been using the beta for a while. I really dislike the new interface it's far too cumbersome. The automatic SC engine has been improved a lot though so I generally build my templates in the old Loki and then tweak them with the new versions auto-SC engine then export back out to the old version.

So far agree with Xest, found it a little clunky, but probably just a matter of getting uset to it.

You get access to an artifact database that is updated from ethinarg, and other sources i believe, but think it only comes with a gold or platinum version. Will try it out when i get round to it.

I have a platinum license but when I last used it the database only had like 10 artis in it and that's all. If it updates from Ethinargs now too that rocks. Maybe now I have an excuse to try and force myself to get used to the interface

I'd have preferred the old Loki with the new engine and artifact database built in though of course

Gone back to Kort/Ethinarg again.

It doesn't auto update - but you can download the latest version from Ethinarg. Some items need some tweaks but overall it is a good overview of the good items.

Yes, it looks very nice compared with the previous version.
My only complaint is I don't think it's right there should be two registered versions. The extra features with the Platinum version are not that special.

I think there should be just one version with all the features, but with a price inbetween the Gold and Platinum versions.

It's just blatant profiteering in my opinion.

Prefer the older one aswell, though it probably just a matter of getting used to the new one.
