Here's the link!

You can also view the store page on Steam and add it to your wishlist!

If you plan on purchasing Celestial Hearts, you can contribute $7 (first 25 backers only) or $8 after that to receive a discounted copy at launch!

This is an all-or-nothing campaign - so if you back the project and it doesn't reach the campaign goal ($1200), you won't be charged.

If you'd like to contribute, here are the other backer rewards tiers:

$3: Have your name featured in the end-game credits!

$7: The first 25 backers at this tier will receive a 30% discounted copy at launch! After the first 25, this reward will increase to $8.

$10: The first 25 backers at this tier will receive a pre-release copy two weeks before launch! (Estimated release date: Early February 2021)

$20: In addition to the above rewards, you'll have a statue with your name on it featured in the Hart City statue room, one of the main hub towns in Celestial Hearts.

$25: In addition to the above rewards, you'll also get full-size versions of each rough sketch and art illustration to use as desktop wallpapers or however you see fit!

Some information about the Kickstarter:

-My campaign goal is $1200, with the majority of this money going toward in-game art illustrations (such as the rough sketch you see above!), and the rest going toward Kickstarter fees and development costs. The campaign will end on November 26.

-I also have stretch goals for adding bonus content at $1300 and $1500 (this stretch goal will add The Depths, which is a dungeon some of you may be familiar with from Knight Bewitched!). If the campaign reaches $2000, I'll commission custom side-view battler sprites for the five main characters.

-If the campaign is unsuccessful, Celestial Hearts will still be released but with slightly less content and less art illustrations.

-If the campaign *is* successful, I will very likely attempt another similar campaign for my next project: Knight Bewitched Definitive Edition! A DX version of Knight Bewitched will likely feature an engine upgrade (which would come with many minor improvements across the game as a whole), new in-game art illustrations, some dialogue touch-ups, a revamp of the menus and battle system, and, of course, new content!

More information about Celestial Hearts, such as screenshots and a trailer, are available on the game's Steam store page. Don't forget to add it to your wishlist (whether you contribute to the campaign or not!)

If you have any questions about Celestial Hearts or the Kickstarter campaign, you can email me anytime at Jkweath@gmail.com or leave a comment here.

Hello everyone!

The Kickstarter for my next release, Celestial Hearts, will launch on November 5. The game itself is planned to launch in early February 2021.

Here is the Kickstarter pre-launch page. You can follow it now to be notified when it goes live!

My funding goal is $1200, the majority of which will go toward funding in-game art illustrations. A few noteworthy Kickstarter reward tiers:

Back $3 to have your name featured in the game's credits! Also, thank you for contributing :)

The first 25 people to Back at $7 or more will receive a discounted copy at launch! The game will launch at $8.99 for one week and $9.99 thereafter.

The first 25 people to Back at $10 or more will receive a pre-release copy 2 weeks before launch!

Back at $25 or more to receive 2 digital copies, a statue with your name on it in-game and full-size PNG files of all cover art and in-game art illustrations as well as their rough sketches!

After the first 25 donations of more than $7, you can back with $8 to receive a copy with a small discount at launch. Think of this as the equivalent of pre-ordering, except you're getting a discount and helping fund the game itself!

Of course, all numbers and dates here are subject to change.

If you have any questions about Celestial Hearts, you can comment here or email me at Jkweath@gmail.com.

Celestial Hearts is a jRPG featuring the love story of a heartbroken young elf and an angel seeking her life's purpose.

• Genre: Yuri jRPG
  
• Four difficulties, including Story Mode for casual players and Heroic for RPG veterans
  
• 2D graphics with beautiful in-game scene illustrations
  
• Active Time Battle (ATB) combat with a party of five heroes
  
• Offline game play with no ads or in-app purchases
  
• Game length: ~10-14 hours

Celestial Hearts is a stand-alone game that takes place more than a century after the events of Knight Bewitched 2.

A Kickstarter to fund the in-game art illustrations, character art and bonus content is planned to launch in late October 2020. Kickstarter rewards are TBD but will at least include Steam keys and early access keys.

Estimated release date on Steam is late January 2020 with a launch price of $9.99. It will be available for Windows and possibly Mac, while an Android port is still TBD.



For those of you who've finished Knight Bewitched 2, this place might look somewhat familiar...



An additional GIF that can't fit in this announcement is available on my Twitter.


Deep within the continent of Belume lies Livia, a small village of nymphs and fairies. Kayah, a young elf and guardian of Livia, is slowly recovering from the loss of her partner. One fateful night, the village is raided by the Graveharts, an ultra-rich and powerful family that all but owns Belume.

Kayah, her friend Sylvie, and the nymphs wake up in an underground prison. During their escape, they find a winged woman chained up and passed out. After escaping and nursing the angel back to health, they learn that her name is Helen--and little else besides that she is aware of a purpose she cannot remember.

Kayah, feeling drawn to Helen, vows to keep her safe as they flee from the Graveharts. But the two, alongside their friends Sylvie, Gail and Matthias, know that they can't run forever...

What is Helen's purpose, and how is it connected to the Gravehart family? And more importantly, what is this indescribable feeling between Helen and the elf who has sworn to protect her?

Hello everyone!

Knight Bewitched 2's release week was a huge success. Besides the first Knight Bewitched, it outperformed the release days of all of my other games combined! Thank you!

if you've beaten the game already and have a moment to spare, please leave a review alongside any thoughts or suggestions you have for my next game. Sorry to keep pushing on this - the 10 review mark is a big milestone as it establishes the game's overall rating. As of this post, we're at 7 customer reviews--only three more to go!


When I first released Knight Bewitched 2, I had it tagged and described as a "Yuri jRPG". I did this because many players referred to the first Knight Bewitched as a Yuri Game, so--without having any idea of what the word "yuri" actually meant (I assumed it referred to the art style. Oof.)--I labeled Knight Bewitched 2 the same way.

After some discussion with other users, I came to a better understanding of what constitutes "yuri". Thought Knight Bewitched 2 does have lesbian and trans representation, lesbian romance specifically is not part of the game's storyline. I have removed the Yuri tag from the game's description to reflect this.

I apologize to any of my yurifans who bought KB2 expecting a new romance plot.

That said, for my yurifans, I am happy to announce that my next game *will* feature a romance plot that I'm sure you'll love!


*Minor spoiler warning ahead for Knight Bewitched 2*

Before I go on, I want to acknowledge that I've received many suggestions to write a new game with a continued romance plot between Ruth and Gwen. That said, this probably won't happen anytime soon. I've worked with Ruth, Gwen, and the world of Ambrose in *almost all* of my games, and to be honest, I'm ready to move on to something new--as I hope that many of you are as well.



One minor plot point of Knight Bewitched 2 is that the story actually takes place in an alternate timeline away from The Black Dungeon, Knight of Heaven and Knight Eternal. This isn't important to anyone who hasn't played those games, but for those of you that have, it may help explain a few things.

My next game will *likely* take place in this alternate timeline, around a century after the events of Knight Bewitched 2, and on a new continent in the world of Ambrose. This setup gives me an opportunity for a fresh start while still being able to connect the new story to the previous one.

One character in particular, whose goals have driven her to stay alive for that long, will *likely* help bridge that gap. *wink*

The game is still very early in development, but if everything goes smoothly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's ready for release by late December/early January.

All I have to show off so far is the menu:



For my yurifans in the audience, you should be able to figure out the pairing based on this screenshot. ;)

I may launch a Kickstarter in the near future to help fund art illustrations and character artwork.

Well, that's all I have for this week. Thanks for reading!

Heya!

A minor update was released today in preparation for the upcoming sequel Knight Bewitched 2.:

-A Battle Animation Speed option was added to speed up the flow of battle.

-A small new temple area, alongside a short conversation, was added. You can find this area by sailing directly south of Gabenport (or slightly east of Deepforge II). This temple is the first area you'll be exploring in the sequel:



-Some of you might remember from an update long ago that I added a female character named Naomi to the Halonian church. She was originally planned to be a main character in Knight Bewitched 2, but was instead replaced with a young male cleric named Hermes. He has replaced Naomi in the Halonian church.

This update is mostly geared toward new players or anyone doing a 2nd play-through before the sequel's
Steam release on August 10.

If you encounter any problems with this update, feel free to email me anytime at Jkweath@gmail.com.

Heya!


A free demo is also available on Aldorlea if you'd like to try the game first and purchase it later. If you do this and later purchase the Steam version, you'll have to manually copy your save file over to the game's Steam folder. All sales from Aldorlea go directly toward funding my projects :)

The Steam release is expected to be on August 10 with a 20% launch discount (making it $7.99 for one week).

The Google Play release will likely be within 2-3 weeks after the Steam release.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to email me anytime at Jkweath@gmail.com.

Heya! If you haven't added Knight Bewitched 2 to your wishlist yet, you definitely should! Based on my experience developing and playtesting along with my beta tester, Knight Bewitched 2 is shaping up to be my best release yet. You won't want to miss it!


Here's the current tentative release schedule:

Knight Bewitched 2 will release first on Aldorlea Games on August 15 for $14.99. A free demo will also be available on Aldorlea--no plans to release a demo on Steam, but anyone who plays the Aldorlea demo and purchases the Steam version can copy their save files over with no problems.

The Steam release will come one month later--September 15--for $9.99 with a 20% launch discount. Pick it up in the bundle for an even bigger discount!

Lastly, the Android version will likely release around a month after the September release. The Android release will also feature better mobile controls over my other games.


Nope! Though playing Knight Bewitched first will give some helpful context to the story, it's not necessary for you to play it, or any of my other games, first before Knight Bewitched 2--though I recommend you do anyway! Pick up the bundle!

Knight Bewitched 2 takes place just three months after the events of Knight Bewitched. However, there is a special detail about its place in the timeline that sets it apart from the other entries in the series. It'll be up to you to learn the truth!


The cover art features the amazon Rae and her close friend, the white-hat thief Alex. Here's a menu screenshot showing how they look in-game:




The fastest way to contact me is via email: jkweath@gmail.com. I don't normally monitor discussion boards, but I almost always respond to emails within a day or two.


Sure! You can request one via Keymailer or Steam's Curator Connect. I generally accept almost all key requests from content curators provided you have at least a small following.

I expect to begin distributing keys sometime around early August once the game is finished.


Unfortunately I don't have a proper fix for this--the only way I know around it is to run the game in full-screen with F1 and use Display Capture rather than Window or Game Capture.

And that's it! I occasionally post progress updates on my Twitter, so feel free to follow me!

Heya!

Though Knight Bewitched 2 is still very early in development, I'd like to talk about progress made with it so far as well as a couple new features.

Much of the work done with Knight Bewitched 2 so far has involved improving the game's base scenes:





I've uploaded a video showcasing some of the new menus on my Twitter feed. I don't post on Twitter often, but I highly recommend you follow me If you'd like to stay up-to-date on Knight Bewitched 2.


All four original members of Knight Bewitched are returning, alongside three new characters and one more you'll be very familiar with. You'll start off being introduced to the three new players, with the party slowly being built up as the story progresses. Expect to see many side-stories and cutscenes exploring the relationships between all eight characters!




A new battle mechanic, both enemies and allies alike can gain HP Barriers with certain skills and equipment. Barriers will need to be depleted before damage can be dealt. Some skills will deal increased damage to barriers, and some skills will bypass barriers entirely!




Replacing the Trinket system, allies can now equip Skill Enhancers, upgrading an older skill to a newer, more powerful skill with added effects. 50 skill enhancers will be available, and much like Trinkets, will be hidden all across the Ambrose Underground for the player to find.

Speaking of the Ambrose Underground...



The majority of the game's story will take place here. Fans of Finding Light will recognize a few of the locations here. No spoilers yet!


Though the game is still early in development, I've already began commissioning the game's artwork. One thing Knight Bewitched sorely lacked on its release was artwork. For the sequel, I'd like to include some artwork shown in scenes in-game. In the upcoming months, I may host a Kickstarter to help secure funds for this, but some extra artwork is guaranteed to show up even if the Kickstarter falls through.

Knight Bewitched 2 will have an expansive world with more content than my previous games, so right now I'm putting the release window sometime between August and September.

Unlike with all of my previous games, I plan on announcing updates as the game progresses on Twitter - so if you're interested in seeing progress on Knight Bewitched 2, follow me!

Hello everyone!

Roguelite was an experimental game I made and released late last year. After realizing the game had some major flaws I couldn't fix without breaking everyone's save files, I decided to have the game permanently retired from the Steam store.

Then I set out to make a sequel - Roguelite 2!

Roguelite, as its name implies, is a simple 50-floor randomly generated dungeon featuring gameplay and characters you'll recognize immediately. Some screenshots:





For fans of the full Knights of Ambrose Saga, consider Roguelite to be Ruth and Gwen's official retirement hobby after the events of Knight Eternal.

Roguelite 2 will release on Steam around February 6 for $1.99 with the release discount. If you're interested, be sure to add the game to your wishlist today!

If you own an Android device and want the game even sooner, it'll release sometime this weekend, January 25, for $1.99.


After the release of Roguelite 2, I'll be taking a short break from game development to wind down and recharge. After that I will most likely resume production on Knight Bewitched 2. I'm planning on it being a much longer and well-crafted experience than its predecessor, so it'll likely take some time to complete - but if there is any demand for it, I'll be sure to post updates on its progress.

Have a great day!

Hello,

A minor update was released today:

-The staircases in the 3rd floor of the Winterfall Cavern now actually work (you can also reach the rooms these stairways led to by dropping in the nearby holes)

-Some bosses in The Depths no longer cast Dispel

Also, as a reminder to fans of Knight Bewitched and my other games, the complete Knights of Ambrose Saga is also available on the Google Play Store:

Knight Bewitched

The Black Dungeon RPG (Mari and the Black Tower on Steam)

Knight of Heaven (Finding Light on Steam)

Knight Eternal (my latest release!)

All four games are cheaper on the Play Store than they are on Steam and go on sale fairly often. Check them out if you have a modern mid-high end Android device and are looking to replay one of the games or pick up one you haven't played yet!

As always, if you encounter any problems or have suggestions, I highly recommend emailing me at Jkweath@gmail.com as I generally don't monitor discussions.
