Hello, everybody!
RedBoon team is actively working on updates to our first game Knock on the Coffin Lid, but everyone sometimes needs a rest. That's why we'd like to announce that during the holidays, until 15 May, the release of updates is delayed.

Our team wants to focus on improving the existing mechanics, fixing technical problems and introducing new animations. This is what our specialists will be doing next week.

In addition, we recently released a test build, which introduced new functionality: hero levels and talents, as well as gradation of difficulty. During the holidays we will collect statistics and feedback from players to port new mechanics to the main version of the game as soon as possible.

The team will post new content in official social networks, as well as a discord server, where you can discuss any questions you may have. Thank you for staying with us.

Weekly Update №3

Global fixes

Hello everybody!
We have actively worked the whole last week and are finally ready to present some new in-game changes.
Thank you for your support and constructive criticism, it helps us to become better. We hope that you’ll like our changes, especially since some of them were offered by you!
(we marked them with lightning)

The major change of this patch lies in the addition of two large mechanics.

Now we are testing new skills and improvements system as well as difficulty levels. In this patch we have tried to add the completed version of the above-mentioned innovations along with updated interface. This version is not final. We will refine it and make necessary corrections based on your feedback.

So, other changes:

• Changed intentions of some units.
  
• Changed “slot check” mechanics. It works when you try to wear some item;
  
• Spiky Helmet value was increased to 240 gold;
  
• “Dash” application mechanic was changed. Now it fits the description;
  
• We have reworked ”Champion's "Stroke" of the “Champion”;
  
• "Parry" is now a card of "Attack" class;
  
• Fixed all the “Stun” card bugs;
  
• Fixed bug with cards freezing during the battle with “Millenis”;
  
• Fixed mechanics of maximum health points changing at the end of a battle.
  
• Fixed bug with cards freezing during their elimination from the "burned" deck;
  

• Now you can check a mechanic’s description. It’s necessary to hover your cursor over the word you are interested in;
  
• Added the description of "Stun” mechanics;
  
• Added new "Pacifist" achievement;
  
• New localization version;
  
• New event: "Egg-laying" in Steppe location;

Keep in mind that the new leveling system is now only available on a test game build. It's necessary to change it manually. To do this, go to the Steam library, right-click on Knock on the Coffin Lid → Properties → Beta → select "level_test".

Saves made on the test version will not work correctly on the main build, and may cause critical errors. It is recommended to start a new game after switching to the main version of the game.

Thank you for staying with us.

Hello, everybody!

So the first week of early access has passed, which means it's time for the first patch and report.
Thank you for your warm words and constructive criticism in your feedback and comments! We hope that you are not getting bored to stay home nowadays :)

"Parry" is the winner of the most rarely used card and will be changed with this patch.

Berserk leader: This boss killed 170 players and only lost to them 56 times. In this update, he's getting a well-deserved nerf.
Archdruid takes the second place with 130 kills and and 125 deaths.

New story bits are being worked on - for now, we can't tell you more.

Unfortunately, Redboon is a small indie studio with a limited budget. At the moment we can't afford to be accompanied by a quality studio-localization.
