The summer is upon us. What better way to spend a evening than firing up under KnightOut to keep your mind off that terrible sunburn you got.
KnightOut now features an arcade mode.
In arcade mode you will fight against hordes of enemies, singleplayer og co-op with a friend. We implemented Steam leaderboards so you can compete against us and other players which really gives it another dimension. Currently it features 3 different enemy types.
It’s a work in progress and we are actively working on it. We want to improve the AI and add more enemies that we already have been working on. The mode needs some more variety but we want you to get your hands on the mode as early as possible so we can get a better idea of how to take it further. With your help we can take the game mode to the next level, so please leave us your feedback.
We are celebrating this update with a 30% discount!
Changes:

Fixed bug where weapons would be red when build.
Fixed bug where regents couldn’t escape from player 3-4.
Fixed bug where weapons would face wrong direction when going back to main menu.
Added new playmode Arcade with three enemies.

Changes:

Duplicate player bug is fixed: We now check if there is a player already on the map, if there is we can't spawn more.
Explosion damage from cannons reduced from 150 to 49. Because the cannons needed to be balanced so it wasn’t only a battle of cannons.
Restart tutorial is removed: There is a few bugs with this function but you can restart the tutorial if you go to main menu and then run it again.
Increased wood walls vulnerability against explosions.
Stuck at loading screen:
If you get this bug we would be happy to hear how you got it. We have been trying to figure out where it comes from and how to fix it. We have done some adjustments, but the bug may still occur.
Feedback is as always very welcome.

After 3 years we are finally releasing KnightOut into early access, we hope you will join us on this journey.
Along with that comes a new trailer.
Watch on YouTube
Exciting right? The game is not finished yet, if you should be in doubt. At the moment the game contains:

Local multiplayer*
16 items to build
4 different maps
Different gear to unlock
A tutorial for 1-4 players
* You can play with your friends online via Steam’s “Remote Play Together
Which means that there are more features and content in the making. We have been polishing and bug fixing in order to craft the best experience for backers and new players. We will use early access as a testing period and update with more features as we go along.
Since we are a very small game company (mainly just two people) we could really use your help. We would love to hear your ideas and feedback on the game so far. Either in the comments or on our discord channel.
You can also help us spread the word by sharing the trailer on social media. If you choose to do so, please share the posts down below, that way we get more likes and reposts on the same posts and that creates a positive effect.
