Hi Everyone,
Today is the beginning of the latest Next Fest and we are very happy that we are able to include our brand new Pixel Pulps adventure, Bahnsen Knights, in this edition.
As part of the Next Fest activities we have made a new, expanded demo available for you to try. We will also release our first developer walkthrough for the game where we take a look at the demo and also answer some of the questions you sent in.
We are also announcing a new release date today for the game. Owing to a recent bereavement for the team we have moved the release date back to 14th December 2023. My friend and colleague Fer, has a few words to say regarding this:
____________________
Hi, Fer here, one half of LCB.
I'd like to talk about the reason why we had to change the release date for Bahnsen Knights.
My older sister, Mariana, passed away at the age of 44. She was in the world before me and taught me how to navigate it.
I will miss her. And I will always need her.
I share this with you to honor her, to let off steam, but above all, to be honest with those who accompanied and supported the Pixel Pulps from the beginning.
Being a studio of only two people implies many things, one of them is that when something so personal hits us, we make a pause because we can't pretend nothing happened. We take a breath, reflect, and as we gather our strength, we continue.
I'm very lucky to work with a friend like Nico (the other half of LCB).
Mary, although not a gamer, was a horror fan and was proud of what we’re doing.
We’re grateful to the community. And with Chorus Worldwide, our friends on this journey.
Thank you,
Fer

As you will appreciate, it has been a difficult time for the team recently. We are a small studio, we are good friends, so tragedy has an impact. We wanted to be candid as to why the game has been delayed and we hope that any of you who have experienced or are experiencing loss, are doing ok.
Thank you for taking the time to read this update on Bahnsen Knights. We really do hope you enjoy playing the demo and watching our walkthrough.
Cheers
Nico, LCB Game Studio
