I'm excited to announce that Knights Within will be releasing into Early Access on May 15!

As a solo dev, I think Early Access is the right way to release my first project.

What you can expect right away from the early access build next week:

• Solo or up to 4 player co-op
  
• Quick play and server browser matchmaking (using steam matchmaking)
  
• 2 game modes, the standard mission mode and an endless difficulty climber version
  
• 2 map biomes, each with their own procedural generation of areas
  
• Over 65 gear loadout customizations to equip, including 6 sub-classes
  
• Character color customizations
  
• Over 90 in-mission upgrades, most for you, some for your enemies
  
• Multiple out-of-mission keep upgrades to improve your runs
  
• Multiple enemy types and procedural bosses
  
• Leveling and prestige system
  
• In-Game achievements
  
• Custom soundtrack by Chris Morrone
  

and this is just the start, you can expect more information like a roadmap soon. Until then, feel free to join the Discord early connect with the community

Looking forward to the next chapter :)
