We need more people talking about these disparities! Check out the other women working on this game in the thread

(Sorry, I am processing your message in probably the wrong order as I scrolled down the notifications 😅)

The game is made on Game Maker, so not a true GB game (and it is without a doubt too "big"). But a bona fide GB game in this style is something we would love to do later!

Yes, in the meantime there is a demo on itch! An updated and different demo will come to Steam later this year for sure, so keep an eye on it 👁️

Hello, no Knight George was not in the latest Steam fest 😉 It is part of the BIG Spring Showcase which has its own page for a week.

Not a fan of time-limited demos either, we will definitely look into how we can make our demo last longer whenever we take part of a Steam Fest!

March 8 is International Women's Day!

As a game studio, we wanted to remind everyone that women are still underrepresented in the video game industry. So we wanted to spotlight the women behind our current project Knight George!

What about you? Are you a woman working on a game at any level? Do you know women developers whose work you want to highlight?

Let us know in comments!

It is important for that rate to keep on growing, as more women means more diverse games in every aspect.
And as usual, representation matters: the more women are present in the industry, the more women will want to play and develop games in return.

Almost half of the world's gamers are women (48% according to the ESA in 2025), but they only make up to 25% of the game studios' workforce according to the latests GDC State of the Industry.

French numbers are more or less the same (49% of players, 20% of developers).

You can absolutely turn them off! The options allow you to choose between the original 160x144 ratio (so a 10:9, like an original Game Boy screen), 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 for both windowed and fullscreen modes.

Hello! As of now, unfortunately no console version is planned as we lack devkits and fundings to pay other devs to do the port.

As for a true GB version, the game is without a doubt too big for the old handheld. A proper GB episode is definitely on our mind in the future though!

Thanks a lot ❤️

The music is 100% @isabellechiming.bsky.social working her magic though! Given she's got a master degree in music composition, it wouldn't be a surprise if she was familiar with the genres you talked about.

(Unless she was secretly French this whole time without telling anyone 😁)

Just because you wear an heavy armor does not mean you cannot jump over these pits!

(You do need a bit of space behind you to step back though!)
