Hello everyone! CyberSol here.

Firstly, on behalf of our team, I'd like to thank everyone for their support of the game so far. It has been such a joy for us to see the game come together and be so well received by Plenty, the judges and fans alike.

I would also like to congratulate the top 5 finalists, along with everyone else who participated! It is no easy feat to make a functional game within such a short timespan. Without all of the entries, none of this would be possible. So on behalf of our team, good job everyone! It was fun to play through your games.

Now, you might be wondering what's next for Knocking on Heaven's Door? Or you may be wondering where the $1000 in prize money will be going. I'll answer both of these questions in this article.

When we entered Plenty's Game Jam, we immediately knew where we wanted the prize money to go. Donating the money to a good cause was very important to our team from the beginning. That being said, I am happy to share that the prize money was split to 2 good causes! Half of it went to Red Cross Disaster Relief, with the other half going to Hope for the Day. Both causes being very important to us. You can see the donations pictured above, along with a new render of Nurse Chica.

Finally, what's next for Knocking on Heaven's Door? Due to the time constraint, we weren't able to add everything we wanted to the game. There was also content that ended up being completely different in the final product. To put it simply, we have some ideas for additional content, tweaks to the mechanics, further refinement and more! It wouldn't be much fun if we gave away our plans just yet, but you can definitely export more content and a post-jam update for the game.

Thanks again to everybody who supported us! It was a great experience to be a part of this game jam. We hope to have more for you soon. :]

The making of the hospital room! Here you can see us go from simple blockout, to placeholder textures and models, diagrams and finally, completely modeled & textured assets. By the end of the deadline, every single asset was modeled & textured in-house!

Thank you to everyone for the love and support on our game! We are all beyond grateful that we were given this opportunity and were able to bring it home with the win. As a little thank you here’s the child you play as. Meet Lily! Art by our artists!!

Hey all! It's been requested that we show the designs more for the characters and make some renders, so here they are! Hope you enjoy :] (Note, the Chica render is the same as the donations post! I included more visible variants for the others as well)

Take a look at our new finalized thumbnail to celebrate the game's completion, enjoy! (Old on the left, new on the right.)
