Description

Sir Lovelot is on a quest to find the love of his life, and only you can help him avoid the cold sting of loneliness (but let’s be real: solitude is great!). Join him in a wacky precision platformer in which he’ll realize that finding love isn’t as easy as he thinks! Collects gifts, avoid treacherous hazards and fight off weird creatures, all in the best possible time! It's an absolutely heartbreaking hairy-tale, if ever there was one...

History

How it started

Up until March 2019, I was working on two seemingly huuuuuge games, Bobby Bombastic and Plutonium Pirates, from which I badly needed a change of pace and short break not to burn out. How? By amping up the pace and burning even more midnight oil while taking part in an interesting game jam called ‘8 Bits to Infinity ~ Platformer Week’.

And?

I submitted our entry just before closing time: A little prototype featuring a tiny but brave knight, collecting stuff and platforming his way from tower to tower and damsel to damsel, in search for the love of his life. Sir Lovelot was born. Long story short: Players liked it. We won the contest.

So now what?

Return to both paused projects as planned, or make Sir Lovelot into ‘a real game’? I opted for the latter: It took only two days to land a playable prototype, so I’ll be launching the final game in two months tops, right? Wrong! Almost exactly 2 years later to the day, Sir Lovelot is finally ready to go chasing damsels.
