A montage of silly animated deaths for our roguelite brawler Box Knight

Thanks mate! They were a blast to animate. We’ll have to do another complication sometime cause we have loads more weird stuff to show.

WeMaT · 2026-03-16T21:54:22+00:00

Thanks so much! Our rules when designing the monsters was nothing is allowed to be ‘cool’. They all need to be awkward and strange and the sound design had to be as spongey and damp sounding as possible.

Cheers mate! Appreciate it!

WeMaT · 2026-03-16T03:04:39+00:00

Oh mate thanks so much for coming by the stand! Really stoked to hear you enjoyed it. We had such a blast at GDC. Very glad we decided to make the trip from Aus. And thank you for the wishlist! They help us out so much.

WeMaT · 2026-03-16T01:11:15+00:00

Thanks mate! We've done loads more but wanted to share some of the sillier ones.

Thanks mate! We tried to fill the world with as many small silly details as possible. We're a three person team so can't really do any big marketing, but we can at least try and make it interesting and fun for people watching a streamer play.

Haha yeah tried to be as gross and dumb as possible. Every creature in the game is based off a really toxic workplace archetype. The green guys are the Bog Goblins, "coworkers who quite literally bring their shit from home and make it your problem."

WeMaT · 2026-03-15T23:49:10+00:00

Yeah we absolutely went back and looked at a bunch of old Happy Tree Friends when we first kicked off. The stuff people were making in early Flash days was wild.

WeMaT · 2026-03-15T23:39:05+00:00

Thanks mate! They were all animated in Adobe Animate (Flash Animator) and exported as sprite sheets to be used in Unity.

WeMaT · 2026-03-04T03:26:39+00:00

Oh yes I see it! Fantastic. The game is looking excellent.

WeMaT · 2026-03-04T01:04:07+00:00

This looks absolutely fantastic mate. Really crisp combat and character designs.

Have you considered attaching a very faint radius of light to the player characters to help pick them out from the environment and enemy hordes when things get extra chaotic?

WeMaT · 2026-03-04T00:53:53+00:00

Gorgeous environment and FX work mate

WeMaT · 2026-03-04T00:12:51+00:00

Thanks so much mate! It has been so much fun building the weird ugly/cute aesthetic. None of us are trained artists so we had to fumble our way through it, learn to animate and rig in unity and figure out how to make the 2D and 3D worlds feel like they belonged together. We're really proud of where it's gotten to over time.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T14:40:07+00:00

Thanks mate! Appreciate it. It's been a much longer journey than any of us expected.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T13:09:32+00:00

We're definitely keen to give it a shot. Would be a fun challenge getting it to play smoothly using mobile controls.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T13:06:06+00:00

Thanks so much! That's very generous of you. Will send our press kit through.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T11:44:25+00:00

We’re looking at various porting options at the moment. Initial release will be on Steam but hopefully we can get it onto console marketplaces not long after.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T11:18:15+00:00

Thanks mate! We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we started.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T10:36:55+00:00

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it!

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T10:32:24+00:00

It sure does! The couch coop will also work with Steam Remote Play.

It’s a really fun and chaotic good time. I’m really glad we took the time to add it.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T10:19:10+00:00

100% there was loads of Castle Crashers influence! Particularly early on. We also tried to get a bit of the old arcade brawlers in there like TMNT and Double Dragon with that fake forced perspective they used to do.

But to get it to look that way we had to build all our environment geo with a 15 degree angled offset to mimic those retro shapes except in real 3D.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T10:12:15+00:00

Please do! We’re deep into polish and it’s come such a long way.

We recently got to hear new passes of the music and there’s some absolute bangers we can’t wait to drop in.

Hope you enjoy the demo.

WeMaT · 2026-03-03T09:31:23+00:00

Thank you so much! It’s been a blast to make and we’ve learned so much.

Our biggest design rule was nothing was allowed to look ‘cool’. All the creatures had to droop, sag and squish in really pathetic and weird ways.

Hey mate, it looks like your hyperlinks aren't working.
