60 of 192 · most liked firstNEW: Yacht Club Games needs a hit. In recent years the maker of Shovel Knight has had to lay off staff, pause a 3D project, and delay their next game indefinitely. The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
unlabelledView post →I think it's worth pointing out that very few video-game companies are as transparent as Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games, and I appreciate that the studio was so candid about their story and why their next game, Mina the Hollower, has taken so long www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
unlabelledView post →Hey folks, how about a short thread of upcoming games I'm looking forward to? 1. Mina the Hollower The new game from Shovel Knight developers Yacht Club, I've been eagerly anticipating this one, it looks so good! Love that there's a few games lately that have that Gameboy colour vibe going on.

unlabelledView post →Current plan is to stream a new game, Mina the Hollower, tomorrow at noon CST. I was interested knowing it was by the Shovel Knight devs, but even better, I found out it's apparently an homage to old GameBoy era Zelda titles, and those were some of my favorite games growing up.

unlabelledView post →We played and discussed Pipistrello. Go play Pipistrello. This is an indie game every bit as good as the big ones being glazed this year.

unlabelledView post →This Shovel Knight run on GDQ reminds me... I'm starting to worry about Yacht Club as a studio. Their last in-house game was Shovel Knight, released over a decade ago. Mina The Hollower missed Halloween and has no release date set now, and no mention of Shovel Knight Deluxe in ages. I'm concerned.

unlabelledView post →I think this might be the best of the Shovel Knight games. From a traditional gameplay sense, it's best better than Plague Of Shadows and Spectre Of Torment was too easy. Probably on a par with Shovel Of Hope, but then you add in the card game into the story and you've got an incredible package. Also huge props to the developers. I originally bought Shovel Knight on Wii U and still could have played this on Wii U for free as a result, but they deserve the extra money.
