Knock, knock, travelers!

Do you hear hammering blows and otherworldly singing? That’s our blacksmith making new armor for Persival, while our bard is composing new plotline endings! And that’s not all—there won’t just be ours, but also your creative work in today’s diary.

Now let’s get to the news!


Last time we had a poll to find out which image of Persival the Knight you liked most. Your feedback was unbelievable! Thank you very much for your comments, they helped us to pick the image. We’ll finish the artwork soon and get on to animating it!

On top of that, we’re experimenting with visual effects so that Persival stands out in battle. We’ll have a new vote pretty soon!


We can tell that the plot of the game and the fate of Midian’s folks are important to many of you. That’s why we’re working on the final book that compiles the endings of the main story arcs. Right now the book contains:

We’re actively drawing new pages to help you better feel and see how your actions influence the characters’ destinies and their world.

• 26-34 endings for Persival (there can be additional ones depending on your choices)
  
• 29-37 endings for Bjorn
  
• 28-46 endings for Vanadis

We’re actively drawing new pages to help you better feel and see how your actions influence the characters’ destinies and their world.


For connoisseurs of everything dark and gloomy, we’ve filled the dungeons in DLC with the undead who are ready to battle with you. Not only that, but those undead are infected by some ancient parasites giving the zombies new abilities.

We find great inspiration in seeing our players’ creative takes on our game. Thank you for the memes and fan art! Today we’ll share one of our favorite pieces—thank you, juang3d[www.twitch.tv] on Twitch for your imaginative approach! Send your memes, art, and any creation of yours that was inspired by our game! We’ll happily post your works in our future diaries.


Hello, friends! This is Andrew aka Innrey, the founder of RedBoon.

This week we finished our first sprint that included several large tasks. It’s a new model for us, where we organize tasks into two-week periods — sprints. Honestly, I’m thrilled with how it went — we actually finished everything on time, even a bit early! Fingers crossed this becomes the norm and not a one-time thing.

Our work on the COMPLETE GAME REBALANCE is ongoing. So far, we’ve reworked all parameters for the starting cards, a bunch of common cards, and plenty of legendaries. If you’re curious about what’s changing, let me know, and I’ll drop a few spoilers. In parallel, we’re reworking ALL the enemies in the Frontier. We’re tweaking their positions and fine-tuning their stats. Turns out there’s a leftmost route on the first map where you hardly encounter any enemies — making that route pretty easy, but turning the final boss battle into a nightmare.

We’ve also revisited the mechanics of curses. There will be fewer of them, but they’ll have more interesting and stronger effects.

Rebalancing is a massive task, and it could seriously slow us down before the DLC release, but we’re trying to stay on schedule. Our minimum goal is to have the event system updated in time for the holidays so you have a reason to come back to Knock ;)

Thank you for following our progress and sticking with us. I really appreciate it <3

See you in the next dev diary, and thanks for all your feedback and comments!

Knock, knock, travelers!

Prepare your swords and potion stashes, as our DLC is already knocking on… your door! We’re finishing up artwork for underground labyrinths and hidden halls and populating them with opponents you have never seen before! And of course, we’re making new skins for your favorite characters.

The DLC release date is getting closer, so keep your torches lit!


What can be better than setting up your own cozy, underground corner for sacrifices to the glory of the Divine Mite? We’ve decided that it’s time for the cultists to get their own home and altar for conducting sinister rituals and contacting ancient forces!

The work is in full swing! Soon we’ll show you the results of our lovecraftian experiments. Prepare for primeval horrors in the next diary!


Fighting the players turned out to be exhausting for our characters, so we decided to give them some time to recover spiritually and corporally, to meditate and rest in the company of their families and friends.

Who could’ve thought that combat goblins would master the art of concentration and awareness? But here they are—breathing, balancing their energies, and… making new cards for you!

Let us know how you prefer to unwind after a hard week. We’re looking for inspiration for some new illustrations!


It’s mushroom time! Meet our new zombies—the victims of the mushroom curse.

Since many mushrooms feed on decaying organic material, we think we found a perfect source of food for the in-game mushrooms and planted them on your favorite enemies.

Now, you’re going to fight not just undead, but whole necro-ecosystems that have overtaken our dungeons!
New curses are looming not only over the zombies! If you disturb the underground gods, you risk losing everything you’ve earned through honest (and not-so-honest) means. We repeat you can lose everything from gold to allies. Beware, or the ancient curses will take what’s theirs!

We just can’t decide on the best skin for Persival the Knight!

Our artist keeps sending references of Lancelot, while our writer insists on a Templar look. Let us know which skin resonates with you more. Otherwise, our meetings might soon turn into knight tournaments!


Hi, friends! It’s Andrew aka Innrey, the founder of RedBoon.

First of all, I’d like to thank all the members of our Reddit. It’s really come alive; it’s great to see how you’re actively interacting and sharing your thoughts. Thank you to every one of you. Your participation inspires and lets us see what’s important to us.

I’d also like to share a new project we're thinking about. We’re considering creating an open-world RPG, and we’d love to hear your thoughts—do you enjoy this genre? Maybe you have specific ideas or features you’d like to see in a game like that? Your feedback is invaluable, as we want this project to be not only exciting but also meet your expectations.

Additionally, we’re working hard on localization. Interestingly, goblins almost got lost in translation, as there are several terms for “goblins” in Spanish! But with your help, we found the best option—thanks to everyone who contributed to the Spanish localization.

And here’s some fun game statistics. Recently, our game designers calculated the number of routes that can be taken through different biomes in the game. Here’s what they found:

• 52 routes — Frontier
  
• 53 routes — Steppes
  
• 20 routes — Bog
  
• 88 routes — Castle

Hopefully, this will create a true sense of freedom and exploration for our players. We’d love for you to feel the same freedom and creative energy in the game that inspired us to create KOTCL.

Once again, thank you for your support, engagement, and warmth. See you again soon, friends!
