ABOUT Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield
AerialKnight’s Never Yield is a 3D side-scrolling mystery adventure game developed by award-winning indie developer and 3D artist, Neil “AerialKnight” Jones. After a successful launch on PC and console in May 2021, Neil analysed feedback from the game’s tight-knit community and approached us to assist with the development of Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield “Da Update” - a comprehensive update that overhauled several aspects of the game and added multiple new features.
Working in collaboration with Neil, we transformed the player experience and ported the game to mobile within a four-month period. Read the full story of how we assisted Neil here.
Mobile Port
We successfully ported the existing PC and console versions of Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield to iOS and Android, securing reviews of 4.5/5 on the App Store and 3.9/5 on the Play Store, including dynamic control switching.
New Features
Working with Neil, we rapidly familiarised ourselves with the game’s existing codebase to develop an endless runner mode, link in new bonus levels, and implement a fresh leaderboard system.
UI Overhaul & Accessibility
A key part of Neil’s vision for “Da Update” was an overhauled UI. We assisted in implementing new UI assets and designs, whilst also adding accessibility support for the Xbox Adaptive Controller.
“[BetaJester and I] were a wonderful team up and the reason why I was able to pull this massive update off.”
