I had been working on the Chibi Knight sequel in my spare time, but decided to get more serious about it and ran a Kickstarter campaign in February of 2014 which was successfully funded in large part thanks to generous pledges from people like YOU! The kids' educational game company I was working for imploded in 2013 and I was left without much recourse except to buckle down and get my freelance/indie thing going.
You can read my postmortem of that grueling experience here. One of the highlights of that time period was releasing Abobo's Big Adventure in 2012 with and and Newgrounds. So, the next few years (2010 to 2015) were full of ups and downs, normal life challenges I think for most people, and especially normal for those who are trying to do creative (synonymous with "risky") things. I wrote a post-mortem about making the original Chibi Knight a while back. It was heavily inspired by Zelda II (my favorite Zelda game growing up) and in a kind of fortuitous way, I ended up with my, then, 4 year-old daughter as the voice actress (which is what MADE the game imo). and I finished that game in 2 weeks and it's been one of my most played games ever.Įnough people contacted me and suggested I expand on CCTB, that I decided to do it and eventually, in 2010, made the original Chibi Knight. it's a side-scrolling simple platformer/beatemup, the character's armor and weapon gets better and better as you level up, fast-paced action, big boss battles, and cute voice acting.
The pink knight was all his idea :-Dīut you can see similarities between Super Chibi Knight and CCTB. Of course, helped turn it into something way more impressive than I originally intended. I think I have to trace the real "root" of this game back to Castle Crashing the Beard (which was somewhat inspired by a game I made way back in 2007 called Boss Bash) It was a silly idea I had in 2008 while Tom was still working on completing Castle Crashers. Where to begin as a review of the long journey? The game is on sale for 10% off as a "launch discount" so take advantage of that :-D It started as "what if the gameplay of Castle Crashing the Beard had more of a story." It also stands as a tribute to my favorite RPG Zelda II (see if you can find all the Zelda II references).Super Chibi Knight is officially launched into the world of Steam games! įirst order of business - Please help spread the word by sharing this link: I started this project in June 2008, and have slowly whittled away at it for almost 2 years.
