Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur - ificouldwrite
Good day, dear knights!

You have now learned of the realms and enemies you will encounter in Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur, but you might still need some help traversing the unpredictable vastness of the Astral Dimension. Today we’ll teach you how to maximise your chances of survival and best use what Camelot's more ‘nomadic’ citizens have to offer to your advantage.

Explore the different areas of the realms as you enter their various dungeon areas. As you clear the dungeon of enemies and progress further through the realm, you will soon encounter some interesting map features, such as the Knight Statues and the Round Tables which grant you upgrades and skills, or the Healing Fountains alongside many interesting inhabitants of Camelot.

Here’s all you need to know about Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur’s non-recruitable characters, and one very special feature which will come in handy before your big battle against the giants!

Morgana – The Witch

Similar to the other non-recruitable NPCs, Morgana is not bound to one realm. She’ll often magically appear just when you need her. Should you come across her camp, she will offer you an almost irresistible deal: Gain a valuable blessing to aid you on your journey, but in return, you must accept a deadly curse! Both blessing and curse are entirely randomised and might be restricted to certain areas or weapons. This could mean that you receive a curse which will only have an effect in the desert area or a blessing limited to Gawain’s sword.

Will you take the risk?



Assam – The Merchant

Need to stock up? Find the travelling merchant Assam in all three areas of the map, and he’ll gladly help you. In exchange for Soul Orbs, he will present his items to you. From potions and vitality boosters restoring and maximising your health to ornaments and pendants increasing attack speed and damage - Assam has the right item in stock for you. Bear in mind that most of his shop items are randomised and while he always carries potions and knight tokens, he must keep up with the ever-changing demand and switches his other stock regularly.



Pan Piper

Find the mysterious Pan Piper if you want to prove yourself worthy - and earn a hefty reward. Like the previous two characters, you can encounter this sinister figure in all three realms waiting for you to attempt his challenge. Should you accept, you must survive a horde of vicious enemies set on keeping victory from you. Survive and you will receive an abundance of Gold and Soul Orbs which will allow you to purchase upgrades and items aiding you on your quest. Although this sounds like an irresistible deal, it might cost you your life, and the Pan Piper somehow does not seem to mind at all ...

Are you ready to face the challenge?



The Holy Fountain

The realms and their inhabitants can be tough on you and deplete your health more rapidly than you’d like. That’s when the Holy Fountains, or healing fountains, come in handy! Approach it and interact with the fountain to regain health when you need it most. A little tip, if you find the fountain early during exploration, save its healing powers for when you need them most, ideally before a boss battle – timing your healing can be critical for your survival!

Hi!

We're excited to announce that our game will be a part of the second annual Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, starting from August 3rd until August 7th. It's time to get cerebral!

We're also so excited to announce the release of our new demo coming to you just in time for the showcase! It's worth checking out even if you've recently played our existing demo. The build is a complete graphical upgrade, including new editor UI, environments, characters, and animations.

We hope you like it.

In this build, our puzzles have been modified to ease onboarding but you won't encounter any new mechanics just yet. If you're itching to get your hands on new puzzles, please join our discord or contact sylvia@animogames.org to be a playtester for our alpha puzzle build.



If you're new to Star Stuff, we're building a puzzle automation game that mixes bot programming with real-time shenanigans! Embrace the role of Stellar Systems Engineer, Mija (me-ha), a cosmic employee on their first day at a star factory.

Picture this: the fun of traversing a puzzle ‘room’ like in Portal or The Talos Principle meets the easy-to-use coding mechanic of Human Resource Machine or 7 Billion Humans.

Features
✨High-level but low-tension chill: Automate your bots with useful commands, see it pan out in real time and if you fail, just try again!
✨100+ hand-crafted, purposefully designed puzzles that get you thinking!
✨Stellar tunes to puzzle to: Enjoy tasty star-themed tracks that will help you focus and stay immersed in star factory life!

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew - Adridas
Ahoy cursed pirates!

Over the past few weeks, we've been discussing your demo feedback within the team.

We're happy to say that we've implemented the most common feedback points from you for the release of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. All these improvements will be part of the final release version on August 17:

Low Intensity Mode for Saving and Loading Effects
Some of you expressed concerns about the intensity of the special effects during capturing and unleashing memories. In the final game, you can enable the "Low Intensity Mode" in the gameplay options, reducing the brightness and flashy behavior of the default effect. We also refined the timing and pacing of the default effect.

CTRL+LMB for Interactions
In the final game, both the new way of holding LMB and the traditional way of holding CTRL+LMB to interact with objects are supported at the same time.

Personalized Save Reminder Visuals
We've implemented a new feature allowing you to choose between two distinct Save Reminder Visuals in the final game: The green ghost bell by the Red Marley or a more classic time reminder, reminiscent of Desperados 3. You'll have also the option to turn off the save reminder completely.

Enhanced Gamepad Camera
We've improved the gamepad camera UI feedback and the locked camera state for the final game.

WASD Camera Controls
We've fixed a bug, which was prevalent in the demo, preventing players to rebind all four camera directions. For example, you'll be able to rebind the camera directions to the WASD keys instead of the arrow keys if you prefer.

Thank you so much for your support and being an awesome crew! 💚 🏴‍☠️
