changedAlso please remember to follow me on Twitter for more updates on the game, and to also follow the store page for The Bleakest Keep 2. I am hoping to post updates there a bit like a development blog.
addedOne of the biggest differences between The Bleakest Keep 2 and TBK1 is enemies and Edward can ragdoll, so launching enemies should feel more satisfying (and funny). You can now also carry multiple ranged weapons instead of just 1. These weapons can also have enchantments or curses on them for even more variety. I'm still working on Juliet's shop but my goals is for her shop will be more dynamic than TBK1. Enemies can also be stunned and Edward can follow up with special attacks like a dropkick.

And thank you for playing The Bleakest Keep! Needless to say if you didn't, there wouldn't be a Bleakest Keep 2, so thank you! The game is early in development (a little over 2 months) so there is still a lot more work to be done. I am hoping The Bleakest Keep 2 will be ready sometime next year, but I want to do my best to make it a worthy sequel, so I don't know how close release will be.

Most things are being remade from the ground up. I am hoping that this will set better groundwork for a more expansive game.

You may have also noticed that Edward and Juliet, as well as the enemies, have a slightly alerted design. Not every design is finalized yet, but I want to try and make every character more expressive.

The Bleakest Keep 2 is still in early development, but I want to try my best to share as many updates as I can. So please go wishlist on Steam and follow on Twitter! It helps a lot!

I originally wasn't planning on making The Bleakest Keep 2, but after spending some time away I found myself thinking about what I could improve upon, and more and more I realized a sequel probably made the most sense to pursue considering I had the most ideas for it and found myself thinking about it more than anything else. I hope it will be a sequel you'll enjoy!

The Bleakest Keep 1 is also getting a small update today. Thanks for playing!
