Happy New Year!

Isn’t it amazing how work seems to drag, and every second seems to tick by so slowly, but as soon as the holiday season appears time just flies by? January is nearly over already, but it doesn’t seem 5 seconds since we were ringing in the new year!

To celebrate the new year. there’s a little more in January’s newsletter than usual. You still get exclusive news of upcoming releases, but we’ve also packed in a few hints and tips for “Cute Knight”, one of our favourite games.

If you have a game you’d like to see us give special attention to, please feel free to drop me an email (my email is phil@sodaware.net) and I’ll get right on it!

Until next month,

Focus on: Cute Knight

Spotlight on... Cute Knight

One of our most popular games is “Cute Knight“, a fun and diverse role-playing game where you have complete control over the path your character follows. There are over 40 different endings to discover, but getting started can be a little tricky. Here are some pointers to help you get started on your own magical journey!

The month your character is born on defines their strengths and weaknesses. By selecting a certain month you can give your character a head-start.

Month Best Skill Worst Skill
1. (Beginnings) Strength & Stamina Weapons & Magic
2. (Changes) Luck & Charm Cooking & Combat
3. (Grass) Mind & Brewing Cooking, Combat & Magic
4. (Planting) Strength & Cleaning Crafting, Magic & Spells
5. (Sprouts) Cooking & Crafting Magic & Spells
6. (Water) Mind & Charm Brewing & Taming
7. (Letters) Mind & Luck Crafting, Taming & Combat
8. (Leaves) Strength & Stamina Crafting, Magic & Spells
9. (Autumn) Nearly all average Magic & Spells
10. (Gods) Luck & Charm Nearly all low
11. (Frost) Taming & Charm Weapons & Magic
12. (Sleep) Cooking Combat & Spells

You can also combine different items to create new and powerful things. Here’s two ideas to get you started:

Party Dress    = Ribbon + Plain Robe

Spiked Collar  = Ribbon + Iron Nails

You can also make special rings by combining gemstones you find with simple rings. With a little bit of imagination you can create some very powerful items that will really help you later on.

Visit the Cute Knight page to find out more about this great game, and be sure to download the demo if you haven’t played it yet!
