Bit Knight

Bit Knight is a retro souls-like. Defeat knights, sorcerers, and other creatures to collect gold and become strong. Find more challenging enemies toward the top of the capitol.

This is a longtime project of creating a physics simulation, and studying OpenGL. The engine is entirely in-house beside using OpenTK to communicate with that NVidia card.

I will be pleased to hear if the game is at least functional without any unexpected issues, but there is a known bug that produces a rare...ish collision error. The game supports shadows, but they're super slow, so they're disabled by default.

There is this other strange bug where the game opens but doesn't start. If that happens, closing the terminal that opens with the game should eventually close the game. I haven't seen this issue in the actual executable, just in my editor.

Executable is StaunchTK.exe

[T] to show or hide shadows.

[I] open inventory

[Esc] open pause menu

[W][A][S][D] move

[Space] jump

Phasing: when phasing, time slows and you have an opportunity to chain into any attack or into a dash)

Animation cancelling is only allowed in the last few frames of an attack or whenever phasing.

[Shift] dodge (dodge into attacks with precise timing to phase) (while airborne, slightly pushes you upward)

[LMB] slash (chain from lunge, or when phasing)

[RMB] lunge (chain from slash, or when phasing)

[Q] phase slash (create spear wave) (phase)

[E] phase slam (create spear wave) (phase)
