Hi

It's been a while since the last update, so first of all, thanks to everyone who keeps following the game. Shady Knight is still mostly a solo project, and there was a long break in development last year.

But now I'm excited to finally be able to come back and show some progress, starting with an update on the Steam page and a new public demo coming soon with updated visuals, new abilities, and many other improvements. Stay tuned!

Hi there!

I'm glad to announce that Shady Knight will be a part of the Steam Game Festival 2021 February Edition! The new demo will be available within the festival week starts on February 3.

It's been almost half a year since the last demo, all this time I keep working and improving things. The new demo features lots of new mechanics, style rank system, bow as a new weapon, new enemies - archers, improved controller, new tutorial, and levels.

I'm gonna post more details about the game during the festival. For now, check out this quick montage captured from the upcoming demo:
