The Knight is a playable character mod for Rivals of Aether, adding the Knight from Hollow Knight in the game.
This project was developed as part of the ZPMods team.
This was our first Rivals of Aether mod, as well as the first mod we ever developed together.

Gameplay
The goal with the mod was to bring the character from Hollow Knight directly into Rivals of Aether.
Thus, we took heavy inspiration from the original game for our moveset. A lot of the attacks, if not all, are a direct reference to something in Hollow Knight.
For example:
- The forward, up and down aerial attacks are directly taken from the directional attacks of the original game.

Directional attacks in Hollow Knight.
- The special attacks are all inspired by spells and upgrades from the original game.

- The taunt is inspired by the checkpoints from the original game.
