Nocked! True Tales of Robin Hood News

Huzzah! We've officially sold one-thousand and one copies of Nocked; that's 1,001 true tales of Robin Hood wandering the wide world. Thank you!

If you've played the game, please leave a review and let your fellow Steam community (and myself) know what you think of the game. As always, I'm happy to receive messages and answer questions either through Steam or over e-mail, and I check the forums most days.

Achievements were one of the elements that didn't make the cut in the final version of Nocked; there are so many corner cases and little nuggets to find, and I didn't want to distract from the experience of creating your own story. However, with this milestone, there are a few nuggets I'd like to share with you (with minimal spoilers):

• There are 5 major (and many minor) movie references in the game, from at least 4 different Robin Hood films. Can you find them all?
  
• Our artist, Amanda Spaid, drew herself into the game as Cook.
  
• There's a hidden fairy you can meet on the forest raids. She's named after my great-grandmother.
  
• The wedding march is the same music (and same fiddler) who played at my own wedding!
  

Additionally exciting, you can now buy the Nocked Soundtrack separately, without owning the game. Give the gift of music, and play on!

Games may be in my future, but for the moment, I'm back to writing novels. A draft of my next book on sky pirates and space mummies is almost complete!

As we look forward to the next 1,001 True Tales of Robin Hood, I want to thank you all again; for playing, for reading, for imagining.

I’ll be at MAGFest’s Indie Game Showcase, January 2nd thru 5th, presenting Nocked! Come say hi, talk to me about the game, or give it a try if you’ve always been curious.

Mac Users rejoice. Nocked once again works on your devices, including the new Catalina OS.

Nocked is currently having trouble running with Mac OS Catalina. We believed (and were assured by Apple) that we had prepared for the Catalina requirements, but users are reporting issues loading the game, and we are investigating hand-in-hand with Apple Support.

Thank you for your patience. We'll keep you updated.

Hear ye! We just pushed a "quality of life" update. Hopefully, we haven't broken anything in the process (though be sure to ping us if we did)!

Not sure which faction the Sheriff is targeting this season? Wonder no more!

Misplaced your to-do list? Check with Friar Tuck!

Also, we've added some compression to the audio files to help with the memory error some of you are seeing, but the end-user perception should be unnoticeable (and full audio fidelity is always available with the Soundtrack!). And as usual, a host of minor typos and continuity fixes. Thanks for everyone who's chimed in!
