BLANKSWORD fact #1
Don't know how a skill works? Just hover over the keyword! Of course tooltips aren't anything new in games, but did you know you can also use it in the middle of a battle? AND it works great on controller as well! Just move the right stick, no clunky menus needed!

what a stellar OST @leaflet.bsky.social and @social.ladysaytenn.art have put together here. i used to not be a frequent game music listener, but the BLSW OST is just too catchy.

give it a spin, and the demo too; and drop us a coin on Kickstarter, won't ya?

my personal pick is the old godzilla creepypasta. very high effort vis-à-vis a good amount of corniness, and posted to death

I'm honestly shocked to see this Kickstarter struggling. Everyone I know that has tried the demo has been gushing about this one.

I suggest you try that demo.

even just 3 weeks ago, i wouldn't have dreamed this.

i can't make the words "thank you" contain the extent of my true gratitude. please just... imagine them bursting at the seams

Quinn K. | BACK BLANKSWORD ON KICKSTARTER @quinnkdev.bsky.social · 2d

i remember a time when an ex of mine, when i read a short story to a room of mutual friends, pulled me outside to tell me nobody wanted to hear it.

when a publisher wanted to pay me 300 € for 80 pages of work his editor kept decimating.

i pushed through these moments, but i often wanted to give up

you have to know- i've been a writer since i was 16.
i've written stories, poems, plays, and games - for 14 years.

this kind of positivity is new to me. i've never had so many people at once not merely care about something i worked on, but *also* depict and discuss it to this extent

people who follow me on my socials have seen how frequently i've had to ask for help with living costs during dev; and without the help they've given, we wouldn't have made it here.

i feel like the wounds of years are healing with this outpouring of love. thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Quinn K. | BACK BLANKSWORD ON KICKSTARTER @quinnkdev.bsky.social · 2d

the @blanksword.bsky.social team and i are elated by the incredible fanworks we've seen recently.

just- holy shit.

thank you to everyone who has drawn our characters. it sustains us, gives us energy, determination; but above all, it vindicates the years of arduous work we've put in.

@kitetfrog.bsky.social just shared these Ancient Doodles of BLANK trying to decide what he's going to wear in our Discord, which is a great reminder one of our Kickstarter Tiers allows YOU to design a costume for BLANK to find, equip and wear in-game!
