Evaluation

Lonely Knight was released on April 6, 2022 as the solo developer's first game. A small patch shipped two days after launch addressing level design and bugs, but no further content was ever added. On September 21, 2023, the developer posted a heartfelt farewell message explaining that the game was never intended to be a commercial venture — all proceeds were donated to charity — and announced that the game would henceforth be available for free. The developer explicitly described Lonely Knight as a "test phase" and "learning curve," and stated that their second game is now in development. This message clearly signals that development on Lonely Knight is finished. No DLC was ever released or announced for this game, and the developer has made no further posts since September 21, 2023. The game is complete as of that date.
