Patch notes: Autosaves have been updated: The game now autosaves before every choice, allowing you to reload quickly in case you accidentally picked the wrong option or unexpectedly came across an ending. Please do not rely on autosaves in place of manual saves for generally saving your progress as these slots get automatically overwritten. Save slots have increased from 60 to 72. Fixed a bug w…
Added an option to replay the flashback using her real name once it's been learned, or keep it blank. Changed mentions of her name in certain places in the story. Fixed spacing in certain codex entries.
Fixed a bug where the achievement "Seeker of Misery" would be granted without seeing all endings. Fixed a bug where upon unlocking the great hall door and then exiting the room, you would be forced to unlock it again. Fixed typos.
It's here! The Last Winter Knight is available now on Steam! It's been nearly three years since I first started putting together a game about a haunted suit of armour, coming up with its story and recording the very first piece of music at my piano. It's been a lot of work (and rework!) over that time, and I'm so excited to share its final version with you now. I you'll enjoy following along on…
Hey spooky friend! I know it's been a while since the last update; I've still been hard at work on Winter Knight... in fact I've been a little too buried in my work to pull myself away from development to talk about it! I finally managed to do just that though, so here's an overdue update: Release Date - May 11th Let me get the biggest news out of the way: Steam has approved the game's prelimin…
Hi friends! The last festival of the year is here, and it's a big one! I'm happy to announce that Winter Knight was accepted into the first ever Choose Wisely Festival ! As well, the game recently reached 8k wishlists! I'm currently still locked away coding but wanted to sketch something to celebrate. It feels like an incredible number that I didn't think I would ever reach as a solo dev workin…
Hello friends! I've been at work as usual on The Last Winter Knight, but today I have to announce that its release date will now be delayed to quarter one of 2026. I know that many of you have been looking forward to it, so I'm truly sorry to have to push back its release again. Solo development can be a struggle to juggle with life, and lately I've been feeling burnt out and not in a state to…
Hi spooky friends! Development in August felt like a blur. I feel like I was possessed by something and when I woke up, bleary-eyed and staring upon my screen in the middle of the night, the first chapter of Winter Knight was complete. Chapter one ended up being longer than I initially planned. The playable demo takes up a bit more than half of it, when I thought it would be more like 3/4ths. T…
It's here! After months of reworking virtually every aspect of the game, I'm so excited to announce that the brand new demo for The Last Winter Knight is finally playable! The new demo features: · roughly 13k words or 40+ mins playtime · one (and a half) endings (for now...) · a dynamic piano soundtrack (remastered from before!) · haunting gothic visuals · updated artwork and UI · point and cli…
It's almost here! The Last Winter Knight's new demo will be releasing on June 30th . I'm so excited to show you what the new game is like, and hope you'll enjoy what it has to offer. The demo will feature a good chunk of chapter one (around 13k words or 40 minutes of playtime). For a discussion of the changes you can see compared to the earliest version, check out my previous update! Until then…
Hi spooky friends! It's been a while. I've been working hard on the game these past few months, but life has also happened (as it tends to do), so I'm sorry about not posting a lengthy update until now! I'm happy to write that I'm at a point where progress is going steady, and a new and improved demo release is on the horizon! Since deciding to do a rework I've basically rebuilt the game from s…
Hi friends! While I was working out some tricky bits in the script I realised that this story has transformed quite considerably from the one I originally set out to tell. I’ve gotten to know these characters much better and as they developed, their motivations and beliefs have changed as well. In short, I feel like giving the story a simple edit now just isn’t enough. What Winter Knight needs…
1.06 Patch Notes: · Minor text updates · Exits should now be more visible when hovering over them · Reduced the number of clicks needed on the locked door to see what happens when you try to leave your armour
