405d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/21d6a6c9c068d6d9429b096fc2f436dcc73f03fd.png Hello Knights. For this build we have been busy forging a brand new "Tight Mode" - a parallel for the Story Mode which provides an modified gameplay set-up; reducing run times, affording more replayability, and generally providing a more streamlined experienced. Also present in the much requested ability to sell weapons and equipment at Blacksmith's. Hopefully this will tidy up your inventories later in the game as well as providing a little bit of extra spending money. We've also made a bunch of changes that bring some behaviours in the game more in-line with your experiences within Fights in Tight Spaces, some adjustments to enemy AI, and more clarity in the status system. Full build notes are below, and - as always - please let us know in the comments, on the discussion boards or on the Games In Tight Spaces Discord what you think of it!

New Features

Tight Mode - a brand new alternative Story mode designed for a shorter playthroughs. Play through a shortened version of each Quest and - once you are ready - skip ahead to a final multi-fight stronghold. Tight Mode shares a save slot with your regular Story progress, so be sure to finish your current run before starting a new run in this mode.
Sell Equipment - as requested by many players, you can now sell unused equipment and consumables at Blacksmith to earn back 15% of their original value

Major Changes

The status system has been refined to work more in-line with player expectation.
Additional status icons on overhead panels to quickly identify characters with Weakened, Vulnerable, and Pinned
Statuses added by enemies during their Utility phase correctly continue through to the end of the turn rather than being removed prematurely
Status effects applied during the enemy action phase (either by enemies or by the player via counters, etc.) now continue through to the end of the next turn to ensure they have an impact in all phases of the game
Players now take damage from damage-over-time effects (i.e. poison and block) at the start of their own turn rather than the start of the enemy turn
Pinned is removed from enemies AFTER their movement phase
Improved text display for some status types
Aggravated behaviour changes: Enemies that have Aggravated applied now immediately turn to face as well as continuing to target their Aggro target. This makes Tank characters more viable in Party Play.
Randomly generated levels in Tight Mode, Daily Play, and Endless mode can use of a greater range of secondary objectives and rewards
Randomly generated levels also give a small gold reward on completion

Minor Changes

New help screens for Aggravated and Strongholds
Map screen now shows when a particular fight location contains a Protect or Survival objective

AI Changes

Enemies who teleport pick their movement target more sensibly
Enemies with Indirect attacks move more sensibly and consistently
Indirect attackers will maintain their target when they move

Balance Changes

Increased damage for Taunting Strike
Fix for spawning isue where some levels were getting additional spawns on turn 1 and no spawns later in the fight (which made "prevent spawn" objectives much harder)
Skeleton Mages now advance only once per turn
Enemies will no longer actively move from tiles adjacent to voids if they already have a valid target (bringing the behaviour in line with FITS)
Made Demon bosses slightly less of a difficulty spike, but made destruction of their related pillars more important!
Conversely the Spymaster is now a little tougher to beat
Flip now maintains combo with movement
Fix for Firebomb to be usable by attuned characters only (as designed)
Reduce cost and duration for Strike Fear card

Patch 1.0.7

461d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/b87675a979ebe615d88270efc0e53a2721b82aeb.png Howdy Knights! Here are this week's patch notes:

Warlock Improvements

We've updated everyone's favourite dark wizard to make play a little less random (although it's still one of the most advanced starting archetypes).

All Curses now exhaust on Discard
Cursewalker no longer has a combo requirement, and card selections are taken from basic movement cards only
Reduced cost to play Apotheosis, Nightmare, and Bone Magic
Remove Combo requirement for playing Crush
Allowed Cursed Weapon to target others
On the other side, we've slightly reduced the Warlock's melee damage to stop them being a magic casting brawler.
Made "Channel" free to use.
Fix for Cursed Lightning and Cursed Strike adding a curse before Damage is done, potentially alternating damage amount

Consumable Changes

Consumables haven't quite landed where we intended them to in the overall meta of the game. While they appear commonly, they aren't favourites amongst players, so we've increased (in some cases dramatically) the potency of these single-use items. The idea is that they can get you out of a scrape or turn the tide of a fight, they weren't previously doing that so we'll be interested to see whether we've made enough of a difference with these changes.

Demon Changes

We've made some small changes to the Demons, as we're aware that they have been a bit of a difficulty spike for some players, and while we haven't finished with them yet, we have made some initial changes:

Demons shouldn't appear so early in Daily Play and Endless Mode
One one of each type of Demon can appear in Daily Play and Endless Mode

Other fixes

Fix false Void tiles on Bridge level
Remove Ouroboros curse, and Bladeturn Tonic from the available curse and Consumables lists, while we investigate their slightly broken behaviours
Fix for when using Mnemonic multiple times
Fix for Combo threshold cards not showing additional Momentum cost when card momentum is modified by curses etc.
Made it possible to Counter the Skeleton Mage's Lightning Strike
Prevented Demons from appearing so early in Daily Play and Endless mode, and made it so only one type of each demon can spawn in a level

Patch 1.0.5

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/eef2e121035815f0e40870515779f7a11b38ef6e.png Greetings Knights, another update for you, and this one contains one of the most requested improvements: namely that ALL push attacks will count towards push-out objectives, even when the target has been killed as part of the attack. We've also made party play more powerful. Previously there were restrictions on the number of support attacks that could be triggered by a single attack, and this has now been unshackled, so each supporting party member is able to make a Support Attack if they can. This means that Split Kicks, Twin Arrows, Sweeps, Rends, etc. all become massive force multipliers if your squad is lined up correctly. Alongside these headline changes, there's a bunch of smaller fixes and improvements; and over the next couple of weeks we'll be making some changes to some of the Archetypes that have been underperforming; and talking of performance, thanks to our friends at Unity, the next patch will bring some major framerate optimisations for players on certain hardware.

Gameplay Changes

Push objectives are now credited to the player, even if the attack kills the target
Support Attacks now fire more consistently and multiple support attacks can fire from a single initial attack (i.e. Sweep)
Consumable cards can no longer be Removed/Discarded by other abilities
Steel self no longer stacks multiplier
Dodge Counter no longer removes other dodge stacks
Additional status icons (Auto-Attack, Turn-to-Face, and Advance) added to overhead panel

Fixes

Fix for Poison Strike doesn't apply Poison to all targets
Missing Warlock ability vfx added
Fix for occasional soft lock when cards were removed at the same time as a Combo reduction status was in play
Fix for softlock when Demons arrive at the end of Survival mission in Endless Mode
Fix for occasional soft lock when multiple characters die during Hurricane push
Fix for occasional soft lock when an enemy dies within range of another enemy's sweep
Music tracks correctly assigned within The Eleven Quest

A Sneak Peek Into KITS Art: Level Breakdown for the Blacksmith

MarielaRFsteam_community_announcements

496d ago

Have you ever wondered what goes into making a tight space for knights to fight in? We thought we’d give you a run down so you can see how a level goes from an idea to a burning forge ready for combat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/9f9999f9f103e7fed9f4883e17ea014c905f4034.gif

Concepts and blockouts

The process of making a KITS level starts with concept art and a level design. The Blacksmith is a 5x6 play space surrounded by some half height objects, full height walls, and two knock out tiles. The distinction between object heights is important as it determines whether characters can jump or shoot over them during play. The initial art concept, made by Omercan Cirit, was designed to be useful for multiple layouts, with objects that could be moved around like tables and anvils, and with focal points like the forge and bellows. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/5a564eab8b2911cdd6843dfb878cada5215285aa.png After being given the initial design the level is blocked out with aspects from the concept art used to fill the required tile layout. This process can take a little while in order to get things right - technical requirements take priority, for instance making sure the dimensions of objects are correct, and taking into account how the UI and character height affect the amount of space the level can take up on the screen. After that we consider how the room functions, the composition, the view for each level rotation etc… Where possible, environments are given at least one exciting focal point that elevates it above simply being a basic room. You can see how the smaller simple forge in the original design was expended and given more prominence and detail. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/f52f2372f1e89e5386f11de34d268c6c6a50dd70.png Once the initial blockout has been finalised, further details are added. While this happens, the lighting of the scene is also being iterated on to establish a focal point and mood. After the modelling is done everything gets unwrapped for texturing and lightmaps, and then it’s time to work on the materials.

Hatching and lighting

The shader that’s used for most level assets displays hatching based on the orientation of an object’s UVs. Early on in the project we took inspiration from the work of Bernie Wrightson and Gabriel Rodríguez, who use linework and cross hatching to describe the form of objects. Hatching generally runs parallel to the longest edge on an object providing readability. In earlier versions of the levels, cross hatching was also used but tended to become muddy with the other details on top of it. Below you can see how the hatching gets applied to the fly press in the blacksmith. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/836498f94c6205cb303c7f9e2e3070e04b924aab.png This idea was used for tileables as well. For instance this brick tileable has hatching that changes orientation along with the bevels of the brick. This helps to distinguish each brick and to break up what would otherwise be uniform hatching. The shader is built in such a way that hatching is revealed and its thickness altered depending on the amount of light hitting a surface. Lighter sections in the middle of the bricks on the hatching map won’t come out grey in game, they will still be solid black, but require more light to hit them to be seen at all. This helps to give the impression of ambient occlusion and form. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/23adf7bb7ff2ebef1861fdef11d22e256dd693f5.gif Here’s a demonstration of some adjustments that can be made with the hatching shader. It takes the baked lighting data of a scene and applies the hatching relative to the amount of light that area receives. The edges of the hatching lines in the texture are blurred slightly so they can become thicker/thinner depending on the lighting and shader settings. This video only shows one type of hatching, but it can be replaced with other types such as the brick tileable above which goes with its own albedo and normal map. Both the scene lighting and the hatching/material settings are an iterative process. For the lighting we try to keep the focal points of light warm, and the shadows cool to have contrast. It’s then usually a case of switching back and forth between working on the lighting, hatching and prop textures until things feel like they’re coming together.

Forge lighting

One thing that was important to capture in this level was how intense the fire was in the original concept. The play spaces should also ideally feel exciting and dangerous, so lots of fire helps with that. The alpha channel from the coal texture is used to control where the flicker effect and light intensity is applied. You can see where this is happening on the green sections below in the ash and coal pieces. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/a3ef63305668d0cfe1a6b38f383317325965d4d4.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/bb3b5b83e47def0eff4adcb366a6b2213a82a827.png

Final touches

Once everything starts coming together visually, we set up the colliders, knock out zone indicators, and real time shadows for the characters before doing a final higher res bake on the lighting. After that it’s handed back over to design so it can be set up to work in game, and then finally the room is ready for the battles that will take place inside its walls. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/0704ccf898f8158d219bc875153a85d44483b29a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/2504ff427e5e71cf495244e928227fff502e49fc.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/41c9672fa76a3292ec934f7a9b9e8af11ddccfa1.png Greetings, fellow Knights! A new patch is here! This time we address some of your most recent QoL and accessibility concerns, along with some fixes, hoping to keep improving and polishing your KITS experience:

New Features

Once you have completed each main quest you will gain the option to start the game from that most recent quest (this will happen via a new conversation when you start a new game)

This won't apply retrospectively, so progress will only be tracked from your next run (or when you complete a quest in your current run if you have one in progress)
Because you are starting the game at a later point, you will miss out on recruits/rewards/upgrades that you would have gained from playing through from the start and parts of the game may become more difficult

Hostage Changes

Hostages now spawn closer to the player party, where possible
Player characters and hostages will avoid spawning adjacent to voids and edges
Hostage damage limits have been relaxed for secondary objectives

Quality of Life

You can now speed up animations by holding Space Bar/L3 - this is an unsupported feature and may cause visual glitches
You can end a run while still gaining the associated experience by using the Abandon Run button on the pause menu

Accessibility

New options for extra in-game visual clarity - these can be found in the Accessibility panel on the Options Screen:

Black and white backdrops
Extra visible player indicator
Scalable card description panel
Ability to disable screen/camera shake

Fixes

Enemies that can't be pushed are now shown correct in the Entity Panel
Prevent softlock when trying to Pull an obelisk
Change Recurve Bow Upgrade to use Aimed Shot Upgrade not Bullseye
Prevent Daily Play deck generation picking from inappropriate starter decks
540 Kick now shows targeting sweep correctly
Fix for softlock when pushing enemy on downed enemy

Text Corrections

Make Yew Bow description accurately reflect behaviour
Make clear that Holy Water applies to all party members
Make Pinning Shot behaviour more clear
Make clear that One Two Punch duplicates a random attack card
Fix Support Damage modifier numbers
Fix some untranslated credits

As usual, we want to keep hearing from you! Don't hesitate to share your feedback; and if you have any specific question for our devs, we have a post in our forums where you can chat directly with James Parker, our Game Director. If you have any further queries or need some technical support, you can reach out to the help desk directly to get a fast and thorough response: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 - Ground Shatter/Raw Fury

Patch 1.0.4

509d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/6f4b7b85342b2c0b2f12bb097bbe0714edaec205.png Salutations one and all, Can you believe it's been one week since we launched KITS into the big bad world?! We want to thank every single one of our players who have invested their time and energy into supporting our game and our little studio. There has been so much feedback, reviews and strategies in circulation since we hit the launch button here on Steam and we want to express our gratitude to each and every one of you. We've released several patches and a hotfix over the past 7 days to address your most pressing concerns. Our goal now is to shift from crisis response—focusing on crashes and softlocks—toward improving quality of life and fixing those lingering, annoying bugs. We also want to update you on a few key factors related to how and when we intend to patch. Ideally we'll be able to push patches each week until we hit a point of stability and balance. We'll be aiming for a mid week deployment for these patches so that we can build, test, push and respond to feedback and issues, while also taking much needed downtime over the weekends. Here's some other keypoints:

A weekly patch allows our team to plan more effectively.
It creates a defined window for our players to expect an update
It allows meaningful time for Quality to asses the changes and flag peripheral issues
Gives players an opportunity to provide feedback on gameplay changes

For now this is the plan, although, in the world for software development, especially in games, this is open to change as we navigate the issues we're facing, and those yet to present themselves. With that in mind here's the list of the QoL and Bug Fixes we have in patch 1.0.4.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
massive improvements to Deck Draft when using more specialized starting archetypes
enemies now take account of outcome of poison/bleeding attacks when selecting targets
enemies no longer sometimes turn to face the wall at the end of movement
BUG FIXES
added missing proper upgrade for Mystic Push
fixed rare softlock in the "The Past Catches Up" sidequest
added missing animation/fixed Preparation
removed non-working "Enable Hotkeys" option from Options Screen
fixed occasional softlock when trapped enemies turn to face targets
fixed negative damage values dealing damage
fixed softlock on Trader Screen when the player has close to the maximum number of cards in their deck
corrections to some sword weapon pivot points and hold angles
prevented Eleven-related side quests appearing on a specific story branch
fixed leaderboards being capped at 10 entries
fixed the description values on Finessed Halberd+

That's all for now folks, but if you have any further queries or need some technical support, I recommend reaching out to the help desk directly to get a fast and thorough response. It's also more convenience to share save files and crash logs with us there. Hit the link below to create ticket. Your save folder is here: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Raw Fury\Knights in Tight Spaces Your crash folder is here: C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Local/Temp/Raw Fury/Knights in Tight Spaces/Crashes And you can submit it to us here: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 Once again, a huge thank you from our entire team! Your encouragement and support mean the world to us and to KITS. Ground Shatter/Raw Fury

End of Week One

rf_broadcast12steam_community_announcements

514d ago

First of all, thank you so much for such an amazing response. The whole team at Ground Shatter and everyone at Raw Fury has been blown away by how many of you have engaged with Knights in Tight Spaces. We’ve tried to stay on top of your reviews, your discussion threads, your Discord posts and your social media - we value all of your comments (good and bad) and are digesting them all. It’s only been 3 days but it feels like about three months, we’ve worked hard to patch some crashes that a small sub-set of the audience were experiencing, we’ve addressed some edge-case soft-locks, we’ve made a positive change to the audio mix to ensure that the hits feel a lot more solid, and we’ve made a few balance changes that didn’t quite make it in for launch. In a game as large and system-based as KITS, there’s always going to be some things that slip through the cracks, so we’re grateful for your patience on those. I figured that it would be a good opportunity to let you know which areas of the game we’re going to look at over the next couple of weeks - largely based on the feedback that we’ve already received but also to improve the game in ways that we have identified internally.

We want to allow players to skip forward in the story - we’re aware that playing the Prologue over and over is slowing you up getting to the good stuff, so we’ll be adding in options to give you more variety in how you start Story Mode.
We’ve heard you on Deck Draft issues - we know that this is an important way to play the game for a lot of you and it could do with more love to make more varied builds possible.
Balance issues - we are aware that some of the objectives can be a little tricky, so they are due a pass as well; longer term we want to add more variety into the objectives as well with some new ideas that came too late for launch.
Quality of Life and Accessibility. We’ve had some really good suggestions about how we can improve the game for people with specific needs, and we’ll try to implement those in meaningful ways as we go forward.

You may see more small hotfixes patches in the mean time if they are needed, but some of the wider changes will come in larger updates (as we will need to ensure they are tested thoroughly before unleashing them on you). Thanks again! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315400

Patch 1.0.3

Paulie Don't Surfsteam_community_announcements

514d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/34b98529939ce6b23f67eaa9bf26513beccd5497.png Hello world! It's Friday, and because it's Friday the team is going to be taking a well earned break for the weekend after the day is done. But before we down-tools, we wanted to push one more patch your way. Today we're addressing a very troublesome XP-gains bug that some players have been pointing out in the forums. We had a workaround, but now we have a fix. On top of that we wanted to introduce a quality of life improvement to the audio profile in KITS. We have seen your feedback in the threads, heard the things that were bothering you and made some alterations with that in mind. Onward to the notes:

fixed issues that some players on controller/Steam Deck were having having where XP was not awarded at the end of a run

In response to feedback, the in-fight audio-mix has been improved:

slightly quieter music during fights
heavier/punchier/louder impact sounds
louder character audio overall

We're also looking into the softlocks that players are reporting. This is a troublesome area and it would greatly speed up the debug process if we could take save files from players which are having the issue immediately after the softlock occurs. We'd need the save file before you start a new run though, as a new run would overwrite the file and make it useless for review. If you are one such player, and you had the time to help us track this, you could make a ticket and attach your save log : Your save folder is here: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Raw Fury\Knights in Tight Spaces Your crash folder is here: C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Local/Temp/Raw Fury/Knights in Tight Spaces/Crashes And you can submit it to us here: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 We're being cautious with these smaller updates as we're trying to manage the extremely tight testing time we have between patches. We run QA in these one-day windows which is there to make sure we don't break anything when trying to apply these improvements. I'll still be around the forums over the weekend, keeping track of the issues and feedback you are sharing with us so please keep it coming, especially the positive reviews as we try to reach more players. We're also reading through negative reviews and where possible, letting you know we've addressed your grievances. Once again from all the team here, thank you thank you thank you! You're encouragement and support means everything to us and to KITS. Ground Shatter/Raw Fury

Patch 1.0.2

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/e65b9469b4bc3a0513831b1abedfe200feb81407.png Another day, another patch. Folks, you have been experiencing crashes and we've been trying our best to figure out what the hell is causing them. In almost all cases it appears to be something related to the engine, rather than lets say a missing call out in our game logic. With that in mind we've been running a test on a Unity engine update which we're hoping is going to crush this problem, and ideally not cause any new ones. Speed and accuracy are both priorities so this is a small patch for now:

Engine update to resolve random crashes
Fixed Softlock that would sometimes manifest at the beginning of the Golem fight

One more thing I would like to mention is that we have a fix related to a brutal XP bug, however it is not going to be in this patch, but rather our next one, which could be tomorrow. The note will be:

Fixed issue in relation to XP gains not being recorded

While it's not in this build I feel the need mention it now as it's coming along immediately after this patch so please hang in there if you're experiencing it. That's all for now so in the meantime if you want to join our Discord for more fluid conversation you can do so over here: https://discord.gg/fights-in-tight-spaces-593465873575051317 And if you want to make a ticket or seek more focused technical support for anything you're experiencing in game, please do so at the link below. You'll be able to attach crash logs and save files and it really helps us to help you the fastest way: Your save folder is here: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Raw Fury\Knights in Tight Spaces Your crash folder is here: C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Local/Temp/Raw Fury/Knights in Tight Spaces/Crashes And you can submit it to us here: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 Thanks again to all of our amazing players for providing feedback, positive reviews and supporting us in launching our video game into the world.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/1ee5e7d9d01de08b5a6aa5e86df85ea72b11183b.png Hello everyone, It's been 24 hours since we launched Knights In Tight Spaces into the big bad world and let me tell ya, it takes a village! The amount of support we've seen in socials, our discord and right here on Steam has truly energized the team and we've been gathering around the various bug reports and feedback you've been providing for us through all those channels. The first order of the day is to address as many frustrating bugs as possible. Your player logs, save files and descriptive info has given us a big headstart on tackling these problems. With that in mind here is the first wave of patch notes for Patch 1.0.1:

Fixed Three Strike Combo and it's upgraded version damage inconsistency
Fixed Warlock being able to block damage despite having "Cannot Block" status
Fixed Suplexing/Tackling enemy out of bounds not counting towards “Push enemy out of bounds” objective
Fixed softlock that was caused by Taunting Revenge Brawler’s Head Smash ability when they don’t have a target

Additionally, we've have also implemented the following improvements:

Ambassador in rescue mission given more health, also slightly reduced the possibility of unfair spawns
Fixed later Hostage rescue objective being incorrectly marked as Primary rather than secondary

This is but a mere fraction of what we're working on and we're doing our best to juggle bug fixes, quality of life improvements and speed of delivery without breaking anything. I'll be heading back to the forums right now to keep reading and sorting through your various impressions and reports so I'll see you there! In the meantime if you want to join our Discord for more fluid conversation you can do so over here: https://discord.gg/fights-in-tight-spaces-593465873575051317 And if you want to make a ticket or seek more focussed technical support for anything you're experiencing in game, please do so at the link below.

One Week to Go!

MarielaRFsteam_community_announcements

523d ago

With less than a week to go until Knights in Tight Spaces is released, the team has been hard at work fixing edge-case issues and making last-minute tweaks to the game’s balance, motivated no doubt by visions of a celebratory trip to the tavern. Our Discord has been a lively and crucial part of this process, providing up-to-the-hour feedback on the latest builds, and alerting us to exploits alongside spotting bugs. Recent changes have made for faster fights, shorter quests, scarier skeletons, and in another win for nominative determinism, tighter spaces. Starter decks for all the new archetypes have also been rebalanced, as we’ve gone back and forth trying to make each one distinctive, with clear strengths and weaknesses that compound over the course of a run. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/8d31433fbc8462f202a43fca6020d22eb95c145c.png One of the most exciting aspects of development, though, has been seeing the reactions to all the new systems we’ve added. Players of Fights in Tight Spaces will remember the Events that added risk/reward decisions into runs. These have been replaced by dozens of fully fledged sidequests, all with their own dialogue, combat encounters, and risks with bigger rewards. Accepting an old crone’s plea for help could hugely strengthen your party or spell your untimely demise, depending on how prepared you are for any number of possible outcomes. Or, in some cases, how polite you choose to be when accepting or declining the quest! On top of this, your actions during each run will echo throughout the current playthrough and beyond. Accepting and declining certain offers will cause quests to branch in different ways, and as part of the new party system, hiring and firing associates, or even going it alone, will endear you to some and make others want to do you harm. The next time you want to dismiss a sorcerer, keep in mind that those spells can be slung your way! What’s certain is that all of these systems working together makes each playthrough alive with moment-to-moment tactical decision-making. Every choice you make both on and off the battlefield propels you down a path to glorious victory or ignominious defeat. Prepare to succeed, to try and fail, to use your wits or rely on unvarnished brawn, but above all, prepare to do it again, but better. Knights in Tight Spaces releases on Tuesday, 4th March. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315400/

Dev Blog #5 - Help Us Build A Better KITS!

Hemmingway famously wrote that "The only kind of writing is rewriting.” That is just as true when refining a game’s design. You never get things exactly right the first time, and the whole of a game development process is a series of concentric, iterative loops - play, test, refine, repeat. One of the most exciting things about working on Fights in Tight Spaces was building an exciting and dedicated community around the game, and learning from them exactly how they play the game. Not only how it differs from how I and the team play the game, but how it varies between different types of player. This process began shortly after the game’s announcement when we opened up the game to small number of Alpha testers (some of whom have stuck around and are still part of our Beta program for KITS as well); the depth of their knowledge, their commitment to the game, and their willingness to engage all helped contribute massively to the success of the game when it launched into Early Access. Then, during Early Access we were able to draw upon a much larger pool of feedback - on our Discord, in the Steam Discussions, by watching reviews and video playthroughs and streams - we were able to see how real people were approaching the game and we were able to make meaningful changes to improve the game at all levels so that our version 1.0 launch could be as good as possible for all the new players that we hoped to attract. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/18ed3d9afba8d75b6875773c81eec2f68a741ad9.png Creating a follow-up as we have done with Knights in Tight Spaces has created its own opportunities and challenges. How do we grow upon the existing base of the game and add meaningful changes but without alienating the people who made it a success in the first place? How do we make the game approachable enough for brand new players whilst creating a challenge for players who already know the ins and outs of how the games’ systems work? So with that in mind, we’ve been working with players new and old to involve them once again in the “rewriting” phase, with an ongoing series of Closed Betas (and by checking people’s reactions to the game’s Demo as that has progressed). In doing so, once again we find ourselves marvelling at the inventiveness of our players and look forward to reacting to their feedback and observations as we approach launch. BUT it’s not too late to get involved, we need MORE TESTERS, from across the spectrum of players, particularly brand new players who might be discovering the game for the very first time. So please join our Discord if you haven’t already but more importantly fill in this form and hopefully you’ll be able to join us on this journey. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315400

Dev Blog #4 - 🪓Weapon's Week ⚔️

MarielaRFsteam_community_announcements

Knights in Tight Spaces wouldn’t be true to its name and setting if it didn’t include plenty of arms and armour for the player to make use of. If you’ve played the Demo, you’ll have noticed different Archetypes receiving a number of effects from the new equipment system: more block, damage modifiers, weapon attacks that push folks about. These effects can easily make the difference between winning and losing a close fight, so we thought we’d quickly go over the essential features of weapons, armour and consumables launching with the game. When heading to the Blacksmith for the first time with a bulging coin purse, keep the following in mind.

What’s Your Type?

There’s more than one way to scrap in our re-imagined 13th-century England as one of several Archetypes. You can be a good ol’ fashioned Brawler, a trained Fighter, a Hunter, Rogue, Cleric or Sorcerer. Each of these has their own equipment slots that vary according to their strengths. To make use of armour, play as a Fighter or Cleric. Ranged players can pick Hunter or Rogue in order to equip a bow. And Magic players can either pick and outright Attuned character or hope they find an item that bestows such abilities later. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/58928ece552832d555ca8e2c63e6c84f8d5f69a5.jpg You’ll want to manage your party and balance their capabilities carefully. A party with no ranged option leaves you vulnerable on larger boards or against enemies with a bow of their own, while an unarmoured party will feel the sting of their mistakes much more keenly. Weighing up your playstyle and card choices in the context of your party’s Archetypes and abilities adds a new dimension to the design of the game in which your choices off the board can greatly impact your effectiveness on it.

Weapons

The right weapon could help patch up a hole in your deck or help dispatch a hoard of a certain type of enemy. All Archetypes except the hand-to-hand Brawler can equip these. Maces tend to punish targets with no block, making them effective against Skeletons and the Supernatural, but average against Knights. There are plenty of options for swords, with effects like Poison damage or ignoring block, while Axes offer a variety of effects including increased Combo generation or adding special cards to your deck. Polearms (two-handed weapons), meanwhile, tend to offer a longer range for attacks and can be useful for pushing enemies around the board. There are also some options more suited to the Sorcerer like the Scholar’s Stave, which increases the damage of magic attacks. For the Hunter and Rogue, a range of Bows offer various options for emphasising either piercing damage or support attacks. Whether your marksman is a main character or a sidekick will dictate which option is best here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/0caa57f503ada53ac637eca38d04100ccce09ec5.jpg

Armour and Shields

It’s worth bearing in mind that as exciting as all those weapons sound, they’ll also be used against you by the noble knights and morally ambiguous ghouls of the realm. When dodging isn’t an option, you’ll be glad of some protection. You’ll have to decide whether to prioritise mitigating some magic damage, protecting against incoming arrows, or hunkering down against swords and fists. If lumbering metal suits don’t sound your speed, there are also some Capes to try that offer some interesting effects at the cost of protection. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/d6b9249f81ae8331f304977fedc0b12e1eb85017.jpg

Consumables

All classes can carry one consumable, which act as single-use cards in your deck that you draw each turn until used. These cover attack, defence and special abilities and can be used to supplement cards or equipment. Whatever your playstyle, there’s a potion, poultice or suspicious mug of mead to give you an edge in battle. Use these in a pinch to heal or buy you some time or be crafty and wait to combine with your weapon effects for a potent damage modifier or that Combo boost you need to pull off a finisher!

Keeping Track

There are countless combinations of equipment and effects to play with, so don’t worry, you don’t have to remember which characters have which effects active – these will be displayed in the character’s status panel during the fight. Whatever your equipment choices, these are not set in stone. You can swap out any item on any of your party members from the Inventory screen, accessible from the campaign map. Make sure to pay attention to the location and expected enemies for the next encounter and prepare accordingly. We’re so excited to put all this new equipment in the hands of players and see what builds you can come up with!

Dev Blog #3 - More Than Cards

MarielaRFsteam_community_announcements

630d ago

It should probably go without saying, but from the very inception of the franchise, Tight Spaces have been important to us, whether that’s the levels in the games, the names of the games, or marketing ideas that ultimately lead to us dancing in a nightclub toilet. Controlling the environment is one of the key design pillars of the game and is taken to a whole new level in Knights in Tight Spaces, so here’s a quick 101 on how - and why - to do that.

Voids

The game closely follows action-movie logic and physics, which means that once you throw a bad guy out of the door of a tavern or over the ramparts of a castle - they are gone for good. Out of sight = out of mind! So the first thing to know about are “voids”, any tile that exists on the board where - if a character is pushed, kicked, or generally manhandled - they are instantly knocked out. But be careful, because voids are just as dangerous to you as they are to enemies, your whole run could be over with a careless placing of your character and an ill-timed enemy push attack. Positioning the enemies and your own characters in such a way that you can get some easy ring outs is the fastest way to cutting through a large bunch of enemies when the odds get too stacked against you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/a3fde2da1ca876f4ffa8ccf82afffaa00acc2748.jpg

Obstacles

Wall, tables, railings, bartops, anvils, you name them, they’re kicking around somewhere. But what do all these things have in common? They are immensely satisfying to smash someone’s head into. If you push an enemy into a wall or obstacle, it does extra damage, that’s a given; if you’re one of those Brawler types then you probably have access to the Head Smash card - a powerful combo finisher that does significant damage to any enemy adjacent to an edge; or perhaps if you just want to look cool, a bunch of wall-based movement attacks give you access to extra damage and extra action-movie flair.

Enemy Positioning

The other action movie rule we live by is that goons… are goons. And once lined up to attack, they are going to attack regardless of who is standing in front of them. In fact, once activated, you can make the enemies - no matter how powerful - unleash their attacks on their colleagues, turn the tide of a battle, and be really satisfying in the process. So before you bother wasting your own punches on an enemy, work out first whether you can make another enemy do it for you, you won’t be disappointed.

Engagement Range

Not everything needs to be up-close-and-personal, different attacks have different ranges and it’s important to remember that when you’re planning your turn: whether it’s opening the space with a Quick Kick to clear the way for a long-range attack, or flipping out of a melee to allow a safe distance for an aimed bow attack, or using an always-justified Flash Kick to deal a chunk of damage and avoiding a Counter response. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44938141/b8fab73f9b7b955ecdc3784b1f440f36787a31c7.jpg

Party Positioning

The introduction of the party system has made the whole space-control element of the game even more important. Before you act, think about the consequences of those actions. Can you trigger a Support Attack? Can you move an enemy into a position where another character can effect a ring-out? Or will you accidentally put another party member in danger? As you control your characters, control the space, and manipulate the enemies to enact your whims, you will learn that it’s no longer just about picking which cards to use in which order, but picking which characters will use them, and how subtle changes in strategy will unlock further tactical options. With a bunch of extra abilities that include indirect targeting, proximity based effects, and new movement options (teleport!), placement within the fight spaces is even more important than ever. And we’re looking forward to you discovering them for the first time! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315400
