One Bad Knight

Future Content Warnings:

• Sexual Harassment
• Discrimination
• Current Events in AAA Game Development

This game was conceptualized in response to recent events in AAA game development to express frustrations with seeing the studios that we admire having multiple cases of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. As students looking to get into the industry, we want and expect better of ourselves, our peers, and our industry.

In One Bad Knight, you play as aspiring adventurer Dell who has recently been accepted into the Adventurers Guild. Dell is excited to learn the ropes with their mentor Sir Isaac, but notes left behind by fellow adventurers may paint a darker picture of Dell's mentor and the organization they admire.

The game is currently incomplete and future development is uncertain. Our goal was to create a simple rpg dungeon to explore where you could find notes that help with adventuring, but also express people's discomfort with Sir Isaac and others in the Adventurers Guild.

We understand that this subject is extremely personal and serious to many, and that our perspectives as three male developers may not be the voices that need to be heard in response. Our intention was not to take away from the voices of those directly affected by intersectional discrimination, but to express our discontentment with the current state of things. If you have any thoughts or feedback on the subject or how we planned to handle it in our game, please let us know.

Made for the SGDA Game Jam 2021
