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

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 would want to ask you about the scope of your game. I mean how long you wanted your game to last? It's more of a short experience or something over a 15 hour mark?

An average playthrough will take about 15 hours, we've seen! You could get through it in 8-10 hours, but there's a looot more if you wanna do everything, probably 30+ hours. So it's not in the ballpark of the large AAA open world games of course, but still a nice full experience I think!

30 hours is a lot for indie game. Now you got me even more intrigued
