Yep, same train of thought here! It sounded silly to have more stuff to collect/do if you play on Steam than if you bought the game on itch.io for instance.

I've seen some indie games with a built-in achievement-tracking screen and decided to make one too.

Not every gaming platform has an achievements system, so this would make sure everyone could experience it.

And to conclude, of course another glow-up is the music, that is made by a real composer this time, and not me with no knowledge at all.

Listen to this incredible track by @isabellechiming.bsky.social 🎵

So yeah, happy birthday George, and look at this glow-up! Just a little comparaison of the old game and George's old design to the new ones.

Once again, @laenarra.bsky.social worked her magic on George!

Well now it's been almost 8 years since work started on Knight George, but hey, there's been two other big games released in the mean time!

This was the first project I (@linky439.bsky.social) did with GameBoy-styled limitations, and I liked it so much it eventually became the foundations of Knight George.

I remember it was a breath of fresh air back then, as I was already 2 years in a big fangame project at the time.

Other stuff got changed, such as the Flail displayed at then end of the video which now became a more traditional weapon.

But the idea of 3 spiky balls turning around the player to protect them also got carried over to another project, HooperVania, with the Koopa Flails...

Of course, all of them got new sprites (George was a bit chunkier back then) and some got redesigned, such as Prince Philip.

Here's a comparaison of his old design in the introduction of the old game and his new design courtesy of @laenarra.bsky.social!

Several things got carried over to what is now a "reboot" of the game: all the characters, but also the core of the gamplay even if I changed it back to a more traditional A-RPG.

Some items, magic spells, enemies and bosses from this old version also found their way into the current game!

I talked a bit about the origins of Knight George in a devlog something like a year ago: linky439.itch.io/knight-georg...

But let me share a bit more secret stuff!

Devlog #1 - The origin of Knight George
Hello everyone! Welcome to the first Knight George devlog, which will be a regular thing at the end of each month. Their content will vary from month to month, from behind the scenes to news about the...

Did you know? Knight George made his first public appearance exactly 10 years ago, in a rogue-lite made in 3 months for a game jam on a french #gamemaker forum named CBNA!

Here's a gameplay video, but beware, the audio is... perfectible to say the least, especially during the boss fight.

Thanks! I like it too, it gives the player a choice, it reminds me of the GBC days and there's also an auto-palette feature that changes the palette for each location to try and match the vibes of the place you are currently visiting! :)

As the days get colder and colder in the real world, how about warming up with a little bit of sport?
This is the court game, a minigame in Knight George!

A little puzzle for #screenshotsaturday as the year slowly comes to an end...

In this one, you need to understand how to activate that eye switch that closes up whenever you're watching it!
