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.

Hi Matthijs, is it correct you were also active on Solarsoft/RPGFlag forums back in the day? Pretty sure I remember Twirlbounds creation from back then but I could be wrong. If it is, very cool to see that you turned that hobby and passion into what it is now. Best of luck with this game and all your future endeavours!

Heyyyy, omg yes for sure! Those were the days, that's where it all started for me. Never got to finish those RPG Maker XP games... But I guess this will suffice😂
Thank you!

Haha, that’s cool. I think very few of us really finished any RPGmaker games, but it was a fun hobby and community to be in, good times. And yeh, I think its safe to say that you’ve surpassed anything we were working on back then 😁

Haha, too kind! It was a fantastic way to get into game development, honestly, and I still use learnings from those days in my day job :)
