To our new Knights,
To say that we’ve been completely overwhelmed by the response to KILL KNIGHT, and watching you - our growing community - grabbing the challenge by the horns through the past few days of Next Fest, would be a massive understatement. To see the culmination of the team’s hard work in the hands of players for the first time has been incredible. Thank you!
Our Next Fest demo features the first of our five layers - Solitude - and a brief glimpse at the Knight’s Arsenal. We’ll be sharing some more details about what to expect from the full game over the coming days and weeks, so stay tuned!
Until then, we’ve gathered our team to descend a little deeper into KILL KNIGHT in our second dev diary. Join us as we discuss some of our inspirations, our challenges, and our approach to designing some of the game’s core mechanics, as we jump into a live playthrough of the demo with the team.
Joining us for the pre-recorded stream are:
Ryan - General Manager
Sean - Lead Designer
Ricky - Senior Producer
Sam - Engineering Manager
Hugh - Lead Artist
Ben - Associate Quality Assurance
We want to continue to share our development journey with you, our community. Otherwise, just watch the infamous “BEN-PLAYSIDE” sweat trying to keep his top spot on the global leaderboard…
Thank you all for your feedback across Discord and Steam so far. It has been awesome for us to see the growing KILL KNIGHT Community revel in the challenge to date. We hope you enjoy your descents into the Abyss this Next Fest. For those keen to continue your assaults on the global leaderboard challenge, don’t forget to submit your high-scores for a chance to win our custom, arcade-inspired KILL KNIGHT PC!
