1.1 of Last Knight is released! news

The Patch is now finally finished and released! It is available on Desura, Humble and itch.io. On Amazon.com and Green Man Gaming it will still take some time. But you can also download the patch now over the website: Lastknightthegame.com
It took me longer then expected but I also added quite a lot in the process. Most importantly you can now behead Horned Bucket Heads and even smash them to pieces! (No bloody mess, the Buckets are filled with lava.)

You can check out the full change notes list below or just watch this video which shows the important things. That might be more fun then reading that quite long list.

As you might guessed I had a lot of fun with making this video.

Much thanks goes to all the testers! I ended up doing quite a lot of test builds, there even was a nasty problem where it got corrupted and it would not run anymore on most hardware. But I could revert to a backup version there. I had to do some things again but now it is all good.

As you can see from the change notes list there are also quite a lot of fixes. Most important is the fix for the saving issue where it would not save when the security settings of a Windows account are too high and it is not started with admin rights. The game is now saved under C:\Users\\Documents\My Games\Last Knight\Save. Your old save game gets also automatically moved there. If your using a full installer for the update just install it over the old install. Also important is the fix for the rare stuck bug where it could happen that the world generation got stuck and then you could not move anymore. There was also a problem with the quest system where old quests could get replaced with new found quests. But that is now also fixed and there is also much improved with the quests screen as well as a new screen added that shows you all your finished quest and which characters still have uncompleted quests. There are also lots of small tweaks and some improvements.

If you like some tips for the smashing of Buckets:
- You only get the "Smashing" reward when a Bucket flies with a lot of velocity .
- Try to hit the center.
- Try to start your joust early but not too early because then he will dodge you.
- You can also behead a fallen Bucket by jumping on his head or pushing his body in something but that is also hard. Jousting them with the head to the front into a obstacle works also well.
- Smashing + Beheaded = Smashtastic!

If you are one of the people that like to have a Desura key alongside their Humble download. They get now automatically provided when you have it in your Humble library! If you purchased it directly over itch.io on the website and you like a Desura key as well just drop me a line with your email address that you used with PayPal and I get you one.

Steam keys will be available to every owner of the game once it gets through Greenlight on Steam. (No guarantee that it gets through though) You can vote here: Steamcommunity.com
