Welcome to Mistland is our bit of Knite and the Ghost Lights fan fiction. (Read More)

Knite And The Ghost Lights is a claymation stop motion adventure game with a creepy halloween vibe. (Read More)

Today marked the changing of the seasons. The leaves were changing their colors and tones, painting the trees in a vibrant palette of rich, fiery reds, oranges, and yellows. The autumn season was moving in on the inhabitants of Mistland and with the season comes the Elder’s tales of witches, ghouls, and the ancient rituals. (Read More)

It seems to be the season of unexpected setbacks for many of our beloved game developers and it saddens me to see life throwing so many curveballs. Unfortunately, Mobot Studios, developers of Knite and the Ghost Lights are not immune to this cycle of bad luck that’s been going around. (Read More)

Many times the Knitemire elder had warned me from venturing off too far away, especially towards the Old Graveyard. The restraints of Knitemire are oppressive and could rob an individual of their exploratory nature. Though I understand I have a responsibility carried down by generations and currently am the only one carrying it along, I don’t feel the need to hold back and cower from the dangers outside the village’s borders. It’s that type of thinking that leads to a life of caution, regret, and dreadful discomfort. (Read More)

“My precious child,” the elder began with her voice shaking, “It’s just about time for you to prepare yourself for your ultimate responsibility.” Though she spoke most eloquently and with such beautiful language, the elder always sounded like she struggled to put out her words. It’s as if everything spoken were something of grave importance that the very uttering of stole every bit of energy she could muster. But still, the elder always made a point to educate the marsh imps about their past, which was a crucial thing to do. Passing down the traditions and history of our ancestors will continue those traditions and prevent any previous mistakes from coming along. She knew this and told stories to the young imps on a nightly basis. (Read More)

“It was many, many years ago when we migrated from the ancient island, Grea.” Despite her frail, elderly body her voice carried a presence that could catch any villager’s attention. Something about this elder emanated wisdom and grace. The young marsh imps were absolutely captivated by speaking. (Read More)

Welcome back, would you like to play a game? The menu screen beckoned me once again, resting on my monitor. The colors were mesmerizing. I felt myself falling back into the same trance as before. It feels abnormal and other-worldly. (Read More)

The room is illuminated only by the computer monitor in front of you. Upon the screen is a welcoming menu that takes up the entire monitor, inviting you to play. The background looks like a scene from a stop motion animated film. With its vibrant, rich colors and ambient music, it is completely captivating and tempting. The urge to move the cursor over to the ‘new game’ button grows stronger. (Read More)

Knite & The Ghost Lights is one of the most unique looking titles we've seen on Kickstarter yet, and its creators are aiming to release a Wii U port "close to launch". Developed by Mobot Studios — which is also behind Paper Monsters — the game offers a mixture of "adventure, storytelling, and action" along the same lines as classics such as Metroid and Castlevania, but its most striking asset is its visuals — everything in the game is handcrafted using real-life models which are then digitised to be used in the game. (Read More)

Knite & The Ghost Lights brings “hand crafted” to a whole new level. every character, prop, and environment isn’t created digitally on a computer screen; Everything is modeled and created in real life, then photographed and scanned into the game for you to play with. It looks just like Coraline in game form, and the results are stunning. (Read More)

The $25 pledge level will get you all three character books(digital).  This one may not be a surprise. As many of you noticed we sort of accidentally slipped and gave this away by posting the picture of all three on the reward chart. Please note we... (Read More)

Being a crowdfunding backer can be a bit stressful, it seems like every day there’s a new project worth giving some money to. But what about bills? If spending money on games is irresponsible, then spending money on crowdfunding can be doubly so since there’s no guarantee you’ll actually get anything for it. (Read More)

Welcome back to The Funding Crowd, issue #2 ACS (After the Crowd Sourcing). You may notice that the amount of content has been somehow reduced, but we're always for quality before quantity. Moreover, in this new epoch of the column we'll try to go back to one of its original goals: focusing on the true Hidden Gems, those worthy projects lacking the necessary attention and coverage for becoming big hits. (Read More)
