Devlog#1 Do you still remember why you burned?

Hi, I'm Maciej and I’m proud to introduce you to the dark world of Molten Knight. This story has been living in my mind for a long time, and now I’ve finally decided to bring it to life.

Molten Knight is an independent, fully self-funded project. I’m currently building a small team to make it a reality.

What is Molten Knight?

You play as a fallen warrior, reforged after failing a campaign against the gods. Your body is now fused into the armor, your name forgotten and purpose unclear. Each battle you take brings you closer to the truth of your former life, and the cost you have paid.

The gameplay is built around drawing and playing cards, with multiple interconnected systems. Depending on your card choices, you will become a walking forge, a summoner or you will embrace blood magic.

Along the way, you will unlock permanent forge upgrades as well as equipable armor fragments that shape your build each run.

Early concept-art - is this how it happened?

Art and tone direction

The world will be presented in pixel art - gothic, scorched and broken. But beneath the ash, you can see it's previous beauty...

I am building this game slowly and seriously. I have started this webpage to test demand, created early mockups for mood and this devlog to share updates with you.

If you are curious where this journey goes - please visit moltenknightgame.com. Everyone who signs up will be invited to the first playable alpha as soon as it's ready.

You can also subscribe here to receive dev updates, thoughts, and to help shape the game with your feedback.

See you at the forge.
