KOTCL Dev Diaries - A short breather before the new journey

5 月 9 日

Knock-knock, Travelers!

Spring is coming to an end, and we’re getting closer to the console release. While others are thinking about vacations, we - as always - are all about releases and bug reports. Our past few weeks have been an endless cycle of testing, more testing, and - surprise - even more testing. So today’s dev diary will be short but to the point.

Just 2 weeks left until the console launch, and 3 until summer. Get ready: soon you’ll be able to play Knock on the Coffin Lid right from your couch!

Let’s go!

The Goblin Spellcaster...

It’s not every day you get to witness goblin magic especially when the path to their lands leads through giant worm nests and savage orc clans. Not the most pleasant journey just to see some goblin tricks.

But if there’s one thing you can’t take from them, it’s their ability to surprise! They make up for their physical shortcomings with sharp minds and stubborn persistence. Goblin magic may sound like a joke, but our green friends are more than capable of leaving you amazed!

What kind of curse do you think a goblin like this could cast?

Custom Runs

We’re sharing another new WIP feature in development for upcoming updates - the difficulty scales!

Here, you’ll be able to choose both positive and negative modifiers for your run. And depending on the balance between them, the difficulty rating will shift accordingly.

We’re already burning with anticipation to see your creativity and your runs! What are you hoping for from the new mode?

Let’s Chat

Hey everyone! This is Andrey aka Innrey - here as always with a kettle of coffee and a batch of news.

As you may have heard (and if you haven’t - well, now you have), we’re continuing preparations for the Xbox and PlayStation release. Right now, nearly all our time is devoted to console testing - it’s like regular testing, just with a gamepad in one hand and a racing heart in the other.

But beyond that, we’re slowly laying the groundwork for a new game. As usual, our dreams are ambitious - we’re aiming for a big RPG with AI elements, but as the saying goes, there’s often a chasm between “want” and “can,” roughly the size of a AAA project budget. So, we’re starting small: early prototypes are already in the works, and we’ll be showing and discussing them with you soon. A small step for the studio, but maybe a giant leap toward something awesome.

Even though the week was packed to the brim, we still managed to push out a hotfix. It’s a small one, but with some cool stuff - details as always in the patch notes (a must-read; it’s not just bug fixes!).

Hopefully, we’ll have something meatier to share in the next dev diary. Until then - have a great weekend! Take care of your nerves, don’t be too hard on the merchants, and remember: even the most tangled path begins with a single (random) choice.

Thanks for playing! Join us on social media:

Как добыть для заблудшего Бьерна классовые предметы - когти и сапоги вампира? Когда играешь на других подклассах - они дропаются на ура, как только переходишь на этот подкласс - их вообще нигде нет. Я делал очень много забегов и проверял продавцов - пусто. Самое интересное, что когт...

KOTCL Developer Diaries - A Short Breather

5 月 2 日

Knock, knock, travelers!

Well, the long-awaited May has arrived! The air is getting warmer, the sun is showing up more often, and the trees are greener than ever! (Hang in there, allergy sufferers!)

For us, this week has been calm and uneventful—we’ve been steadily fixing incoming bugs, working on updates, looking forward to the console release, and of course, spending some quality time with our loved ones and pets!

We’ve gathered a few fun bits and updates you might’ve missed.

Let’s go!

Let’s Light It Up!

It might seem like a simple bundle of dry wood—easy to gather if you know where to look. But oh, what it can become when turned into a bonfire... Warm evenings in the Frontier, the scent of smoke mingling with the aroma of roasted ham, the disgruntled growls of wolves passing by...

Even in the midst of chaos, it’s possible to find moments of light and peace—all thanks to a small fire kindled with just a few branches!

The Tarot Can Tell More Now…

We’ve updated the Tarot screen and added icons for modifiers (we’ll talk more about their usage in future diaries). We're putting a lot of effort into this new feature and hope you'll enjoy it.

Let us know what you think—which version do you prefer?

WIP–What you see in the screenshots below is a work in progress and will change over time.

Custom Runs!

In our previous diaries, we shared our plans for a new game mode—"Custom Run"—where you’ll be able to create your own runs, explore your inner game designer, and have all sorts of fun with the inhabitants of Midian. And today, we can finally show you the progress!

Here’s a look at our current versions of the character selection screen. For now, only Persival stands proudly on his own, but Bjorn and Vanadis will be joining him soon.

WIP–What you see in the screenshot is a work in progress and will change over time.
Are you waiting for the new game mode? What are your expectations? Share your thoughts in the comments!

How About Some Chit-Chat?

Hey everyone, this is Andrew aka Innrey, as usual.

Our team had been looking forward to this week just as much as you—a whole month of intense fixes, patches, tweaks, and other important (yet admittedly routine) tasks, would wear anyone out. Speaking from experience, both physical and mental rest are crucial in any line of work, and after such an eventful month, we truly need it.

This week, we’ve started looking toward something new and fun—and the custom run mode is a perfect fit for that. Of course, we haven’t stopped fixing bugs (never will!), but there are noticeably fewer of them now, which gives us time and room to experiment. I think I already mentioned this mode in previous diaries. We have lots of ideas, of course, but they still need to be implemented and tested, so it’s a bit early to dive into the details.

Let us know your thoughts and impressions. I read everything—and take it all into account.
This week, we also received some incredibly exciting news about the console release—it’s officially set for May 21!

Knock on the Coffin Lid: Complete Edition will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 21!

This console release is a huge milestone for us as a studio. When we first started out, we couldn’t have imagined seeing our game on PlayStation and Xbox. And of course, we owe it all to you—for playing, for supporting the game, and for supporting us. We’re incredibly lucky to have players like you. None of this would’ve happened without you.

Happy spring holidays to everyone, and we’ll see you in the next diary!

Thank you for playing! Join us on social media:

Japanese Localization is ready!

4 月 29 日

Knock-Knock, Travelers!

Yes-yes, Knock on the Coffin Lid now has Japanese language support! In fact, we added it in one of our recent updates, but we wanted to check how it works first - how it feels, are there any typos, and whether it would break the game (it actually did, but we quickly fixed everything).

Right now, we have finished all preparations, and we can proudly say 「ごきげんよう！」 to all of our Japanese-speaking players!

I hope that our work on translating our game will come to your liking, as well as all the stories that you’ll be able to explore. This was a long, challenging, but also captivating and fun journey for us.

Contact us if you find any localization errors.

Как пройти нынче пролог?

Судя по гайду ачивок, нужно убить двух демонов. По описанию это незатейливо - просто соблюдай порядок атак/защит. По факту собаки разжирают себе силу и без этого. Максимум удалось убить одну при хорошем заходе (чтобы обнаружить, что она и воскреснет ещё). В лагере улучшаю талант. В �...

As others have pointed at it, the game is too slow and too fast at the same time.

You need to grind the game a lot to actually know what build is viable to win, but at the same time, you don't have a lot of opportunities to try things out in a run. That results in a frustrating experience, where you have to go through specific points on the map, get a random build, and lose because you couldn't find an option to make your build viable TO WIN. Sure you can clean any event or boss. But the end boss is so remote from regular gameplay that it wraps the build requirements, and waste your time if you don't have X or Y item/card. Things get worse based on the class you play.

I felt more like I was wasting my time than I was improving and learning while trying again.

Also, too much blabbering about.

Nightmares of Millenis Cutscene Rewatch?

Hey, so I had had all sound muted from back when I was 100%ing the game with youtube on in the background. Finally booted it up to try out the new DLC, did the recommended wipe, and got thrown into a cutscene...with no sound and no option to pause and turn sound on. I tried quick quitting so I could relaunch and turn on the audio, but the cutscene doesnt play anymore, which means not only did I not get to hear it, I didn't even get to read it. This is...really annoying. I don't know why it was set up to au...

Not a bad game but really needed more polish and to feel finished and instead there is DLC that may or may not achieve that but I won't be finding out. Complete your game before you release DLC.
