| A Word From the Developer | 2023-05-06 | Hello hello, I wanted to thank everyone that has played Knight Crawlers and for the continued support, feedback, and suggestions I have been receiving. Having said that, I wanted to address some of the challenges Knight Crawlers is facing and my plans moving forward. Working on a game alone means needing to do a dozen jobs at the same time which makes it difficult to manage. The feedback has helped with this immensely as it helps focus my efforts in the right places. Given that this is the first game I have developed and that I taught myself to program specifically for this project, I knew I was bound to make mistakes and overlook some design |
| Update Patch v1.0.2 Notes | 2023-05-06 | Hello everyone, A new hotfix is live that addresses the issues with minions not following players and crawls sometimes bricking because auto attacks stop working. I am confident this hotfix has addressed all possible edge cases that made these issues occur but if it does pop up for anyone, please let me know and I will fix it right away. Thank you for your continued support and for your patience and understanding! |
| Update Patch v1.0.1 Notes | 2023-05-05 | Hello peeps, Thank you to everyone who has played the game and given feedback and suggestions, I really appreciate it a whole lot. Given the bugs that were reported, I wanted to update the game to fix some of the most pressing issues. I wasn't able to get all the major bugs, but I will be working through the weekend to release a second patch for those! UPDATE 1.0.1 PATCH NOTES Fixed a visual bug where the crawler duty was incorrectly showing that the Terror's Artifact was in room 35 instead of 45 Removed the lava room that caused Khorgos and other enemies to brick your crawler's auto attacks and stopped you from spawning new enemies Fixed an |
