A first look at KitKnight - Next game
🕑 Added 2022-03-09 18:34:59 +0000 UTCThis will be quite a long post. I recommend reading it on the Discord.
As you know, Matchmakers Inc will be ending in a couple weeks with the Tangles Final.
I've got one scene to color, one left to animate, the effects and some polishing before it's done.
After that it will be over, 2 and a half year of hard work and love poured into it which leaves a bit of a question mark as to what's gonna happen next.
For this reason, I want to introduce you all to the next project I've been making in secret to give you an idea of where things are going.
Introducing: KitKnight (see slide 1)
This new game will follow a male protagonist named Kit, a feline vagabond looking for excitement.
During his travel he stumbles across The Copper Hornet, a small tavern in the woods where he'll get roped into all sort of nonsense.
Taverns are always a good spot to find odd jobs and friends, and the copper Hornet is no exception, but perhaps this very tavern hides more then it lets on.
The notice board is sure to have a few tasks for those looking for some quick gold and adventures that's for sure.
The Copper Hornet Hub (see slide 2)
This is where all chapters will begin and end. At the start of each chapter, you'll be allowed to wonder around the Copper Hornet and talk to whoever has found themselves here. As the game progress, more and more friends will start to populate this hub and reshape it.
The Notice Board (see slide 3)
Once you're done talking, you can truly start the chapter at the notice board.
There, the ever helpful Marigold will tell you all about the bounty of the day.
Villains, thief, rogue magician, anyone who's enough of a troublemaker to warrant a bounty.
You'll get a little backstory and some lore about them as they will be the star character of the chapter.
Once done the game will begin.
Gameplay (see slide 4)
Gameplay is relatively forward, it's an action platformer.
You'll start with a simple move set of run, crouch, dodge and jump as well as a 3 combo attack and a air slash. Each chapter will unlock 1 extra attack or movement to add to your arsenal.
The levels will be non-linear exploration and feature about 6 to 10 screens to explore and figure out the small traversal challenge or puzzle required to unlock the boss room.
Once you do that, you'll be able to face the boss which is your bounty.
Once the boss is defeated, you'll bring them back to the Copper Hornet where you'll be paid and they'll become a permanent addition to the crew at the hub.
It is there that you'll be able to develop a relationship with them as they get better and face their inner demons and past deeds.
Note that this isn't a game where getting defeated gets you erotic scenes, not a big fan of those. The erotic scenes are a reward for defeating the level as well as some extra scenes here and there.
Character: Kit (see slide 5)
Kit is our main character, an agile little cat that maybe should tone down the cockiness a bit. Young, confident, and equipped with his trusty one hand ivory hammer, he throws himself at danger in the hopes of making a name for himself!
Character: Izara (see slide 6)
Izara will be our first bad guy and the star of chapter 1. She's a rude, tall hyena girl who likes when people do as she says... but like all big girls she's got a softie side hidden somewhere in there.
I intend to do all the basic Dnd archetype, so if you don't like barbarian type girls don't worry. We'll have some cute nerdy wizard girl, some tsun rogue, noble girl, etc.
Character: Marigold (see slide 7)
Ah. Dear dear Marigold. Beautiful kind Marigold.
Marigold is our new Tangles, she'll act as both your first friend and your guide throughout this adventure. A fair maiden who serves drink at the Copper Hornet, try not to fall in love too much.
Conclusion
And that's the basic premise.
There's still a few important side characters to present and I need to make the hub more populated but I'm not done with those designs yet.
It still needs a lot of work before chapter 1 is finished but I hope it gives you a good idea of what's to come.
The project is planned to have 8 chapters. 7 females, 1 male. Some short comics are also planned to introduce the bounties back stories.
I'm really excited to fully get started on this.
I'm not gonna lie, it's a big project and is gonna be real hard to make, but I think if this works out we might have something really special here.
I truly hope to see you there for it.

Looks fun. I do hope the animation matches your usual from matchmakers inc.

I’m a big fan of action platformers, and this seems like something really cool. And it is pretty cathartic knowing that Matchmakers is coming to an end, it’s been on hell of a ride. Can’t wait for both the grand finale of Matchmakers and the beginning of KitKnight!

Will there be a mini questline where you have to capture the kobold queen, but then capture the king instead and return prideful, only to be laughed at because the king is basically a powerless consort, then you go out to capture an infamous wolf instead to try and regain your dignity and people's faith in your capabilities as a bounty hunter?
