Overview
Release Date:
Still in Development.
Tools Used:
Adobe Flash
Evade the Black Knight was the first project I ever made on my journey to learning game design. It was back when Adobe Animate was still named Flash.
I was learning IT at my trade school, at the time, and would build it in my free time, learning small snippets of ActionScript I would bend to make functional as I went.
Even the art style was meant to be charming, light-hearted, and fast to make.
