Knightborn is a love letter to the classic games we played for thousands of hours, with friends or alone.

• For those who enjoy these games but don't have hundreds of hours

• Bite sized maps/scenarios

• Classic gameplay modes for both pvp, pve

• Not complex

• No subscription

• No pay-to-win elements

• Small file size

• Budget-friendly

Despite having the feel and look of a classic MMORPG, Knightborn is a multiplayer RPG that aims to offer bite-sized maps and scenarios that can be completed in a single session.

In line with this, the stat and skill system has been shaped within an easily understandable framework.

Simple and clear gameplay

No need for lightning-fast reflexes and complex strategies - just level up, find better equipment, and enjoy the adventure.

Class structure and skills

There are four different classes: Warrior, Mage, Archer, and Paladin.
Each class offers unique skills and playstyle. Class structures are balanced around team play and have different starting stats relative to each other.

Stats

• Strength

• Dexterity

• Intelligence

• Damage

• Armor

• Attack Speed

• Move Speed

Inventory and equipment

Familiar and traditional inventory experience: You can organize draggable items and place them in relevant equipment slots. Equipment can provide bonus stats and even skills.

Map

Open world feel and free movement. Different game modes, nostalgic 3D models and graphics.

Quest and dialogue

Rewarding missions...
Your actions in Knightborn have consequences: Some NPC characters can react to your dialogue choices and actions, creating a dynamic and engaging storyline.

Performance and graphics

Knightborn is optimized to provide high performance while ensuring a smooth gaming experience. You can enjoy the adventure without worrying about your hardware!

What's the current state of development?

Knightborn is advancing full speed towards early access release.
For those interested, there's a playable demo with 2 maps available:

Colony Zone

• Offers PvP gameplay where 2 teams compete against each other.

• Teams try to collect points to reach the score determined by the host.

• Playable with up to 16 players.

Early Access

• Knightborn will initially launch with a map I'm currently calling Defense.
  This map offers both co-op and solo gameplay.

• Our goal is to defend our tower from waves of enemies.

• In the map, which features different quests, equipment, and enemies, you can develop your character and hire friendly warriors to help defend the tower.

After Early Access

Following that, I aim to continue the life cycle with different modes and maps based on feedback from the existing content.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What technologies are you using?
  Engine: Unity
  Networking: Unity Mirror Networking
  Steam SDK: Facepunch.Steamworks
  Other tools: Blender, Aseprite, Affinity Designer, Krita

• You mention MMO everywhere, I'm confused. Is this an MMO?
  The MMORPG reference is used because the player controls and the games that inspired this gameplay are of this style. Any player can host a game and play with friends or solo offline.

• Did you make everything visible on screen?
  No.  As a solo developer, my priority is game mechanics, level design and features. I outsource visual assets carefully without breaking the art style or performance.

• Why isn't there a language option?
  Knightborn will launch in early access. Creating the infrastructure to offer different language options requires significant work. I decided to wait and see what kind of demand develops before adding this to the to-do list.
