Knock-knock, adventurers! Here’s what's new behind the scenes of “Knock on the Coffin Lid” development! Just a little reminder: the game is in early access on Steam and it’s heading towards its release.
Progress
Let's start by showing how the game’s early art has changed. In the latest diaries, we showed a certain gloomy tunnel. Today we’ll show you our progress with it.
This event is called “The Abode of the Mite”. What will happen here is known to everyone who has already played KOTCL. For those who haven’t played, a short explanation: in one of the game’s big locations, the Rotten Bog, there’s a cult of a certain “Mite”. The locals worship this monster as a deity, make sacrifices to it, and scare away strangers. The Mite creates new monsters, like the Mite Queen. What other creatures will we find in the Mite’s abode?
Last time we also showed you a picture of a high-ranked member of the military. The art is completed and you will soon see the final result in the game ;)
New events
We keep making frames for new events. For example, how do you like this blacksmith? He’s a very harsh man, but we are sure that he’s a master at his craft.
And here is another event – “Caravan”. We showed a frame from it in the video diaries. Most players assumed that they’d be hired to protect a caravan during a journey. What do you think?
Updated animations
We also continue to update animations for all enemies, friends, and allies in the game. Today we want to show you some draft frames.
For example, take a look at this orc. Everything about him has been improved – from the movement of equipment elements to the general animation of the character. He seems to be more alive and ferocious than he was before.
Last time we showed you some animations of Sister Lilly, today we’ll show you the second witch, Sister Lana.
And one more thing…
Finally, we want to show you something else that we’ve been working on for some time. We are showing this image for the first time. This picture is not from another event. We’ll leave room for some intrigue here :)

Thank you for reading our diaries. We hope that it was interesting and visually stimulating for you ;)
