It all started with Mount & Blade
Back in the days of IRC chats in the mid-late 2000s, we both were really into Mount & Blade. So much so that we started modding it – definitely our start into the world of game development.
How hard can it be?
At some point, we decided that making our own game, heavily inspired by Mount & Blade, would be a great idea. It would take some work – 7 or 8 months, maybe? Well, 8 years, some university degrees and a tech start-up later, we released our first tech demo on itch.io.
Getting it right
After additional years of building our skills, our current iteration of the project is starting to gain traction. With the experience of the past years under our belt, Kinstrife has been rebuilt extensively and is turning into the game we have dreamed of all these years ago.
What the future holds
We are planning to turn our game development ambitions into full careers in the near future. If you would like to join us on this journey, feel free to reach out to us! We’d love to hear from you.
