What are Midnight snack games?
Ever found yourself craving a gaming adventure that’s like a midnight snack—fulfilling and quick, but without the commitment of a five-course meal? Well, that’s precisely what we’re cooking up!
While we’re still diligently chipping away at the epic saga that is Knights Only (seriously, it’s a behemoth), we’ve decided to indulge our creative cravings with some bite-sized, yet equally awesome games. Think of these as the tapas of the gaming world—small, satisfying, but packed with flavor.
So, get ready for a whole buffet of games and content coming your way from your trusty stableboys! These projects are like the sorbet between courses—not distractions, just short, sweet breaks to keep our creative engines revving without burning out.
Potter About took root on Steam
Our green-thumb masterpiece has taken root with its very own Steam page. Yes, it’s real – and absolutely blooming exciting! It is currently listed as “Coming soon”, and we mean it when we say “soon”.
This game is quite different from Knights Only. It’s a simple, short-but-sweet platformer where you potter about (see what we did there?) as a plant pot, exploring a cozy house.
The idea sprouted in Ivan and Tia’s minds, and they dove straight into cultivating it – Tia hand drawing this beautiful game, and Ivan covering the animation and development.
Now, teaming up with Stableboy entertainment, the project’s growth has been accelerated! With more hands on deck comes more diverse perspectives and expert opinions.
We’re all thrilled to nurture this wonderful game
and help it bloom into the gem it truly is.
What is the team doing?
We welcomed a new member this month! Her name is Klara Eva Kukovičič, and she will take care of the Business and Funding side of things.
She’s been busy going to talks, courses, and tender applications while we, the unpaid dream team, are rooting for her success! (’cause we’re nice like that 😜)
Rok, our big cheese, is in full-on prep mode for AdventureX – the UK convention for story-driven gaming. He’ll be networking and sneakily pitching Knights Only to anyone who’ll lend an ear. Say hi, if you run into him there!
Miha, our game guru, is crafting the next Knights Only playtest with ninja precision. We’re aiming for puzzles that walk the fine line – not a cakewalk, but definitely not mission impossible.
He also took demos for both Knights Only & Potter About to Amulet d20 – a local gaming haven. 15+ folks jumped into the games, and offered precious feedback.
Marko is in his creative cave, sketching top-secret characters and places (Shh, it’s classified!). It seems that drawing and 3D modeling was not enough for him, as he has taken up rigging too – a sponge for knowledge this one.
Tia is over the moon seeing ‘Potter About’ bask in the limelight at last. It’s tough to hide something you’ve poured heart and soul into!
She attended the Wild Galway Game Initiative in Ireland, and flaunted the game to eager ears. 🌱 She even crafted a wee plant pot buddy to tag along!
David and Ivan are fine-tuning ‘Potter About’ for the big release – working on the code while Rok and Miha improve the game design. Juggling code upgrades and game completion, this tag team’s got their plates piled high. They do say working with pals hardly feels like work, and these two seem to be in perfect sync!
What have I been up to? Well… my days are filled with posting on social media and planing our marketing tactics for the future. Just trying to spread the word to the right people. Oh, and we have a TikTok account now!
Working with this wild bunch is a barrel of laughs, and we’re on the hunt for more recruits! If you’re up for some game-dev shenanigans, hop over to our website and apply. We’d love to have ya on board!
