Hey everyone,
In this post, I want to keep you up to date and show you some progress in what has been done in the last few weeks and the ongoing development.
Release Date
The release of Soulknight Survivor is now set for December 2023. There’s still work to do, in and out of the game. But I'm optimistic about being able to release it in early December.
New name
The name was changed from Soulknight to Soulknight Survivor. On the one hand, this is to avoid confusion with an already existing smartphone game, but I also think the new name better reflects the genre of the game.
Playtest and Feedback
Feedback is really important for development, and I need to admit that there is currently not enough of it to make sound decisions. Any feedback is welcome, so feel free to join the discord and let me know your thoughts about the game. I also opened up a way for anyone to opt in for the playtest. Simply visit the game's Discord and write a message in the playtest-register channel. So if you want to be one of the earliest players of the whole experience, this is your chance!
New Capsules
Currently, there are new capsules in the work by a professional artist. So don’t be surprised when the appearance of Soulknight Survivor suddenly changes in the coming weeks.
Events
I'm really happy to announce that Soulknight Survivor will be featured in the coming DreamHack Beyond Summer Indie Showcase on Steam on August 18–27. There will be a livestream on steam and key giveaways on discord to celebrate this!
Development
Finally, let's take a look at the developments. While I'm currently shifting the focus to finishing all levels and bug fixing, there have also been several new features added since the demo was released.
Farm spots: Farm spots are levels where no enemies respawn. They are perfect if you just want to gather some resources in a more relaxed environment.
Hero appearance: Every 15 levels, the hero is now evolving slightly in appearance to reflect his way of becoming the Soulknight.
Improved Effects and Sounds: Several visual and sound effects were added and improved.
And of course there were also a lot of bugfixes and other improvements...
So that's it for the moment. If you like Soulknight Survivor and want to support it, simply wishlist and join the discord or follow on twitter/X. Thank you for your support!
I wish you a wonderful week.
