Wolod's News

Posted by Wolod - October 5th, 2019


Greetings!


More than a month passed since the last update. So I had more than enough time to watch lots of videos and streams about Knightin'+. Guess that any game developer likes to watch somebody playing his or her game. Besides having fun, it's a great way to gather feedback. Do you see where this is going?


Right, it's time to announce new update 1.2! Besides lots of tiny tweaks, fixes, improvements and even an ability to enter cheat codes with a gamepad there are 2 things that I want to tell about.


Level Design Improvements


First of all I noticed that people have troubles on several floors because of the level design flaws. Lots of changes were made but only 2 major ones deserve to be told about in detail.


Floor 1-1 was designed in a way that player was able to find a puzzle room before finding the solution. I thought that it will stimulate players to explore the whole floor, but they seem to be more eager to just brute-force the solution. Oh well, who could have thought? So sarcasm aside, I changed the layout of floor 1-1 in a way that player won't be able to find a puzzle before the solution. And you know what? I'm pretty satisfied with the result.


Floor 2-1 had a room with lots of bear traps and a checkpoint that confused lots of people. They thought that it's impossible to walk around the traps. Yep, the ability to walk behind the columns is not very obvious because of the distorted perspective. So I changed the layout of this room too. It won't confuse anybody ever. Muhaha!

Also players with gamepads kept missing the reset puzzle control hints. After a little research I realized that they didn't recognize the icon of the Select button. That's why icon was changed to look like the one on Xbox controller because it's the most common one. Yes, it's a tiny change that probably doesn't deserve to be mentioned here. But, man, I had to load this weight off my mind!


New Localizations


And here are some good news for German and Japanese people. Yep, Knightin'+ was translated to your languages, guys!


Thanks for Reading!


Well, I don't have much more to say. Hope that you'll enjoy the new update. Just trying my best to make Knightin'+ a better experience for all of us. Keep being awesome and have a nice play!

Did you enjoy the Knightin'+ soundtrack? Of course you did!


That catchy chiptune music you heard in Knightin'+ was created by Håkon Dale. Follow this talented musician on SoundCloud. He deserves much more attention and I really want to help him to get out from obscurity.


Also you can grab the OST on BandCamp or Steam - 15 chiptune tracks for you to enjoy.

Your support really helps the both of us. See you soon and stay groovy!

Hello guys, hope you're doing great!


Today is a very important day for me. After more than a year of a hard work I can finally say that Knightin'+ is ready for the release!


Thank you very much for all your support and valuable feedback. I wouldn't be able to turn that tiny jam entry into a full game without it.


I'm going to smash that big fat green publish button in a few seconds. Wish me good luck!


What are you waiting for? Those dungeons won't explore themselves. Click the link!

Hi there!


I don't want to read this, just take me to the demo!


Quick reminder: I'm going to release this game at the end of this month. It's an extended edition of this game you might have been familiar with already. Why am I even bothering you with this text if I can show you a trailer?



Now let's get back to the point. I'm very proud to publish this demo here today and really hope that you guys will like it! Please consider adding Knightin'+ to your wishlist and spread the word if you've enjoyed the demo and like to support me making even more fun games.


Also in order to celebrate this little release I've updated the original Knightin' to v.1.3 (you can find the detailed change log in the game description). So it's a good time to check it out if you've never played it before. But that's not all! I also updated It Needs Care. That alternate ending I was promising since the release is now available (detailed change log is in the game description too). And, yes, it has medals now. Hope you'll enjoy those updates!


Going to make new announcement soon. Stay tuned and thanks for you attention!

Hey guys! Haven't posted anything here in a while. Time to fix this issue.


Do you remember game called Knightin' I made for the previous Pixel Day? Well, I was working on an extended version or sequel (call it whatever you want) in my spare time during the last year. I wasn't very creative with the title so this new game is called Knightin'+. And as you might have guessed already, I'm almost ready for the big release.


So during the last few months I was preparing for the Knightin'+ release: kept polishing the game, held a closed beta test, recorded a trailer, etc. In other words I was very busy doing different boring stuff. But the most important thing is that I united forces with the very talented Norwegian musician Håkon Dale. He is finishing soundtrack at the moment and I can guarantee that chiptune fans won't be disappointed.


I also finally decided on the release date. Approximately around the 20th of July everyone will be able to explore dangerous dungeons alongside the brave little knight.


I'm going to publish a store page and (free demo) in the next few days. You can expect me begging to add the game to your wishlist. And in the meantime, I suggest you watch the trailer.

Hello, my fellow gamers!

Three years have passed since I released award-winning Night Strike Infiltrators. And few months ago I decided to create a sequel to it. I published this new game (called NSI: Operation Zero by the way) on Steam Greenlight today.

Now I need your support, friends. If you enjoy my games, if you like things I do help me please. If you like NSI: Operation Zero feel free to vote for it. Or spread the word among your friends at least. Any help will be very appreciated.

Greenlight page: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=914089567

PS: In honor of this event I updated the original Night Strike Infiltrators too. Enjoy!

PPS: I thought that plain text was too boring so here are few screenshots and a trailer of NSI: Operation Zero.
