Knock, knock, adventurers!

We’re happy to see you again! Stock up on repellents and sharpen your claws – we’re going on a new journey in the world of Knock On The Coffin Lid!

Steam Awards 2022

First of all, we want to remind you that you can nominate us for the Steam Award in the Labour of love category. This nomination means a lot to us, because we are working tirelessly on our game! Please support us and help us to make it to the finals!



Now let's get to the development process and one other, very important thing, which we’ll inform you about at the end of this diary, so be sure to read it to the end!

We work hard on events every day. Our beloved artists are laboring away to please you with new art. At the moment, several events are in the process of being made. The bandits’ camp is finally ready to be shown. These bandits seem extremely serious. It's best not to joke with them. Do you think they’ll let you relax by the campfire, or will you have to clash with them in a life-and-death battle for a place to rest?

⠀⠀

And these two, what are they up to here? This dwarf seems to look worried. Has the elf been threatening him? Or maybe we're in for the craziest team-up since The Lord of the Rings?
⠀⠀⠀

Yeah, it's not the best time to chill in the bog – one of the training zombies is going through the gifted hands of our artists. He’s preening himself and ready to meet everyone who passes by his quagmire.But you can always fight him and get something nice for beating him.


This guy is swinging his mace way too skillfully. Apparently, these are his residual reflexes after zombification. So if you don't want to burn, be careful. As soon as he blooms in the skillful hands of our artists, there will be no escape from him!


Since we’re stuck in the bog again, it's time to get acquainted with the local fauna again. We showed you our beautiful Mite Queen recently, and now, finally, her animations are finished! Our animators have made her incredibly lively and strangely attractive. Be careful, don’t join the cultists!
⠀⠀⠀

But even without her, the bog is full of parasites – these phenomenally huge mosquitoes have just flown out of the magical animation room and are ready to drink some players' blood!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In the past we showed you how we develop new characters. One of them is the elf in the picture below. He has finally gotten an axe, some stylish movements and some green goo dripping from his mouth… It seems to be time for us to run or fight for our lives!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


Every little thing is important in game development: each icon and each status gets its visual display in the game. And the making of them goes on non-stop.


Vanadis keeps getting new cards. Here is some of the art that we’ve made this week:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yeah, this lady is deginitely not to be trifled with – there are too many animals ready to protect her.

And finally, we saved the hottest news for last, so buckle up:


That's right – we’re finally ready to add all the updates from the open beta version to the main version of the game. Although our work isn’t finished yet you’ll still have something to be surprised by in the new version! So be patient, very soon you’ll have the opportunity to play the updated KOTCL and try out the mechanics, as well as admire new events and the card generation system!

We enjoy showing our game’s development process in our social networks and we’re always open to your suggestions. So join us on Discord and Twitter to chat with us and don’t forget to visit our YouTube channel, where we post video-diaries straight from the developers’ room!

Knock, knock, adventurers!

Here are the developer diaries again, ready to tell you about what we've been doing this week. Feed your pet honey badgers and your inner lycans, let’s go!


Do you remember the event with a group of unusually friendly orcs? Well, now we’re ready to show you the final image which will appear in our game soon. At the same time you’ll have the opportunity to see how the goblin that got into their company is doing, and whether he needs your help!




For those who happened to be near the Northern Gate, our artists placed a very pleasant, but secretive armorer there. Be careful, they say he takes good care of his creations well, and it won’t be easy to get along with him.




Our animators want to share with you the animation of Kiara's attacks and the process of creating her art. Finally, we have an opportunity to see her in all her details. I wonder who gave her the scar.

No one can dodge the swing of her blade!



⠀⠀⠀

Breaking news!

Our artists pulled a zombie out of the swamp. What shall we do with him now? It looks like we'll have to get him into circulation and do some good training with him. The journey through the swamps is not safe at all.




We’re hard at work creating a beautiful and user-friendly interface. We’ve already added some visual features to the game. You can look at them in the open beta which started last week.

Knock, knock, travelers!

We’re happy to welcome you to this, the latest edition of our developer diaries. Today we’ll treat you to animations of a formidable, but lovable demon and also show you how work on events is going.


We continue traveling the steppes as well as perfecting current events. This time, we’ve called on these sweet guys.

They look very amiable, but try not to hurt their feelings. One of the goblins has already run into these smiling guys, and you’ll have to do something about it. The event is still in the works, but here are some frames to look at:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


Our animators have started adding embellishments to one of the enemies – this demon is fully willing to bite off your hand if you try to pet him! The attack animations worked out gloriously.



It just so happens that one of his strongest weapon might just be tickling you so beware of his allies!


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


Our artists have started preparing allies for the animation process. These girls are drawn well, and they fight even better. Here’s to hoping that they’re on our side.




As usual, the hardest thing to do is to come to an agreement with men, so this man here definitely won’t participate in your adventures. You’ll have to convince him to let you pass.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


The event with the shaman has been updated. Smoking the peace pipe will be much more pleasant from now on. Don’t turn down his invitation!



The event with the cursed sword is being updated too. It's no longer so scary to go up to this guy and accept his intriguing gift, is it?
