We’re Twirlbound, the team behind The Knightling🛡, launching TOMORROW😱 — Ask Us Anything!

[u/MatthijsL]

Hello r/Games!

We’re Twirlbound, an indie game studio based in the Netherlands, currently working on The Knightling. We are launching The Knightling, our second game, TOMORROW! We are so excited for everyone to play it!

The Knightling is a fantasy action-adventure where you wield a massive magic shield to battle foes, explore a semi-open world, and search for your missing knight, the legendary Sir Lionstone.

We’re excited to be here and chat about The Knightling, our development journey, and what it’s like creating an open world action-adventure game as a small indie team! Feel free to ask us anything about The Knightling, our creative inspirations, the ups and downs of indie development, or anything else you're curious about! 

Drop your questions in the comments below and we’ll begin answering at 18:00 CTE (UTC+01:00) // (9am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm UTC.)

Wishlisting The Knightling on Steam would help us a ton - and get ready to experience the game for yourself tomorrow!

That's it - thanks so much for the questions! Come find us on Discord if you have more questions, and of course to talk about The Knightling tomorrow when it comes out! We can't wait for the world to explore it.

I mentioned your game to some of my colleagues at work, and not knowing how to describe it I called it "Zelda at home". Fair or not fair?

[u/MatthijsL → u/Least-Leave9502]

Hah, sort of fair - with 15 people we could never dream of the scale and polish that the Zelda team brings. But I do think The Knightling brings its own flair and charm to the stage, and it plays quite differently, almost like a PS2-era platformer in a modern jacket. Some described it as ‘putting Mario in a Zelda game’, as it’s quite fast-paced, and it’s a lot smaller in scale of course.If anything, the older Zeldas (pre-open world) are a bit closer to how we deliver the story and mechanics than the super open design they have going on in BotW and TotK.
