History
Early versions of the game featured only a handful of short, primitive mechs, and were full of bugs and instability. Philotes, Cerberus, Tartaros, and Icarus became the primary mechs of the game. These were to be the focus of the game's undeveloped Story mode. Teshima instead focused on adding new mechs and bugfixes. The game developed and evolved over time to a more realistic graphical style. In late 2004, after a period of scarce updates, Haruo Teshima announced a temporary hiatus in development. Development continued briefly in 2007 before Teshima announced another year of hiatus to focus on a new project called Gunners. However, development of this game was short lived, and in 2008 Silver Knights production was started up again, but once again halted. In 2009, the production began once again to release newer mechas as well as some redesigned mechas. The most current version released is 0.13K.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
—Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
