Knight by Night
A 2D visual novel and adventure game…
About the game.
Knight by Night is a 2D adventure game where you play as a knight who enters dreams to help villagers fight their fears. This game was the first game created in Spartasoft Studio, a student-led studio created in the spring of 2022.
This was my first time managing a large team of only one discipline. The struggles of this project included making everyone’s ideas heard in such a large team and keeping a consistent design vision. For this project, we used Trello for task management.
The project was created over a period of three months with a team of about 30 people.
Reflection.
I was a member of the team of students who kickstarted the studio at MSU in the spring of 2022. I originally held the position of Design Director on the project, but after conflict I had to step up as Art Director as well. I arranged meetings for this project with not only designers and artists, but also other team directors to ensure everyone had a similar vision for the project’s future.
For this project, I had many one on one meetings and communications to make sure that everyone was feeling represented in the project and to gain feedback on the studio itself.
