The Dog Knight Go See a Knight’s Tale OUVIO updates
The creator of the Dog Knight "Go See" Indie Game has shared an update on Patreon, highlighting the slow progress due to prioritizing family and adjusting to a regular 9-5 job. This approach reflects a balanced life focus, though there are concerns regarding industry disruptions and economic challenges related to animation and visual arts. Despite the uncertainty, appreciation remains for the game's new designs and the premise of helping the protagonist find his way home. Future updates or videos from the creator are uncertain.
