- So We May Have Removed The Buy Button - 6 December 2020
Hey everyone! It's been a while. Knightfall has been in early access for just over 3 years. In our opinion (as well as the opinions of many others), this is way too long for a game like this to be "stuck". There are currently zero employees working on Knightfall and we do not know what Knightfall's direction needs to be. We also do not know when Knightfall will be picked back up out of it's hiatus. As of today, we've pulled the buy button from the Steam store page. What does that mean? It means that from here on out, Knightfall cannot be sold in any package, whether it be by itself, with it's soundtrack, or as part of the Static City Games package. It's no longer available for purchase until we choose to make it available for purchase again. But I bought / activated Knightfall in the past, will I lose access to the game? No! We wouldn't want anyone to lose access to anything they've pur…
- The Current Future of Knightfall - 5 March 2020
Hey everyone! So, as you know, Knightfall went through a complete recode and re imagine of the first level, systems, and combat. Knightfall's development is currently on-hold, much to my chagrin. Unfortunately, we forgot to post about it here on Steam. Here's the reasons why: - Knightfall has a story, which requires a lot of planning and cohesive content. - Knightfall is currently a one-man project. The one person on the project (Josh) has not put a lot of time into learning pixel art and animation. So getting anywhere with good content requires an outside party to visualize the direction of the game. - I do not want Knightfall to feel rushed in the slightest and it would be terrible for me to look back at a game that did not get completed in the original, intended way. Knightfall WILL be picked back up to be complete after the current game in development, Chronicle: Unit Eight leaves E…

(Basically, you ended up with a blacked out screen and could not swing your sword.) Fixed the sorting of different UI…
