Thank you so much to everyone who's played and given feedback on the game so far!

In this post, I want to keep you up to date and show you some progress in what has been done in the last few weeks and the ongoing development.


The release of Soulknight Survivor is now set for December 2023. There’s still work to do, in and out of the game. But I'm optimistic about being able to release it in early December.


The name was changed from Soulknight to Soulknight Survivor. On the one hand, this is to avoid confusion with an already existing smartphone game, but I also think the new name better reflects the genre of the game.


Feedback is really important for development, and I need to admit that there is currently not enough of it to make sound decisions. Any feedback is welcome, so feel free to join the discord and let me know your thoughts about the game. I also opened up a way for anyone to opt in for the playtest. Simply visit the game's Discord and write a message in the playtest-register channel. So if you want to be one of the earliest players of the whole experience, this is your chance!




Currently, there are new capsules in the work by a professional artist. So don’t be surprised when the appearance of Soulknight Survivor suddenly changes in the coming weeks.



I'm really happy to announce that Soulknight Survivor will be featured in the coming DreamHack Beyond Summer Indie Showcase on Steam on August 18–27. There will be a livestream on steam and key giveaways on discord to celebrate this!




Finally, let's take a look at the developments. While I'm currently shifting the focus to finishing all levels and bug fixing, there have also been several new features added since the demo was released.

Farm spots: Farm spots are levels where no enemies respawn. They are perfect if you just want to gather some resources in a more relaxed environment.



Hero appearance: Every 15 levels, the hero is now evolving slightly in appearance to reflect his way of becoming the Soulknight.

Improved Effects and Sounds: Several visual and sound effects were added and improved.



And of course there were also a lot of bugfixes and other improvements...

So that's it for the moment. If you like Soulknight Survivor and want to support it, simply wishlist and join the discord or follow on twitter/X. Thank you for your support!

I wish you a wonderful week.

A big "Thank You" to all those who consistently reported issues. Your help and support mean the world to us, and we're happy to announce that the next update is ready to roll out today. Our team has poured their efforts into enhancing the current content and introducing new features to the game. Let's delve into the specifics of what this update entails.

We've been fine-tuning Ardem's menu system. As the game evolves and we gear up for Steam Next Fest, we're rolling out a comprehensive menu revamp. Expect a sleek new main menu that captures the essence of Ardem, alongside essential submenus for options, keybindings, and more. Oh, and no more ALT+F4 exit routine. We've streamlined things with an in-game menu (ESC), ensuring a smoother transition within the gameplay experience.

Fishing is now in the game. Equip your fishing rod and venture to lakes, rivers, or the vast ocean to test your fishing skills. Watch closely as the floater dips and your fishing line moves. Press the F key at the right moment to hook your catch. We're now proceedind to ramping up the system, soon introducing different baits that attract various types of fish.

We've finally implemented random lootspawn! Right now, loot is plentiful everywhere, but we're working on fine-tuning it for a more balanced experience. Expect urban areas and structures to be rich with loot while more rural or even foresty areas are rather poor with loot. We are also actively working on a lot of crafting receipes that will consume your hard-earned loot.

Our level designers have been tirelessly working on the Southcoast region, continuing to work on a vast new expanse. Additionally, we're excited to introduce a captivating new point of interest – the 'Sawmill,' now prominently featured on the main map in the southcoast region. While a few whitebox elements remain visible, feel free to explore the area and provide us with some valuable feedback regarding its aesthetics and ambiance.
