the devs support BLM
>>727728093thanks for the heads-upremoved from my wishlist and ignored the developer
Why is it so much uglier than Shove Knight?
>>727730749It's supposed to be going for a gameboy color aesthetic, which makes it all the more confusing that this shit has taken so long to release is now a "make or break" game for the devs
Imagine fumbling Shovel Knight
>Has all of these people under their thumb>Nah anon, this is do-or-die and we really need you to buy the game :(Why would they lie like this?
>>727727984It looks like a fun game but I never played Shovel Knight and I am not really all that into indie games. Maybe if its worth it I will one day play their games but for now its not on my radar. Sorry Yacht Club Games.
Shovel Knight and its three DLC campaigns are all gold. Don't let the studio's recent mistakes get in the way of a good game.
>hollow knight was a super success>originally a kickstarter too so hardly any risk>many dlcs, crossplatforms, even amiibos>kickstarted Mina (surprising since why do super successful devs need another kickstarter?)>literally raised over a MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS for a gameboy color Zelda ripoff>"erm, guys, we're not doing so well..."Wtf is going on? Did they spend all their money on yachts? Or are they just lying?
>>727732194SHOVEL knight I mean not hollow knight ffs
>>727727984>make or breakWtf how? It looks like shit, nobody's going to want that
>>727727984This looks uglier than the zelda games it is ripping off. But that doesn't surprise me. Shovel knight was already the ugly kind of "retro" where it didn't understand what was and was not appealing about that aesthetic.
>>727732194>Wtf is going on? Did they spend all their money on yachts?They spent literally TEN FUCKING YEARS making the Kickstarter DLC for Shovel Knight and then when they started making Mina they split their devteam in half and had the other half making Shovel Knight 3D, resulting in neither game getting done on time.Scope Creep is the #1 killer of studios.
OBLIGATOЯY
>>727732650They really should have told the backers to go fuck themselves and charged for Specter of Torment and King of Cards. Those were full blown side games, not backer DLC.
>>727732727Thanks for posting this, I didn't know. Shan't be buying Mina.
>>727732194you're thinking of shovel knight buddy
>>727731271>It's supposed to be going for a gameboy color aestheticIt's lame that most indie devs aim so low. Why can't they do Neo Geo quality?
>>727727984They split the team and left a guy who had never led a project before in charge, who burned through all their money while the good devs were working on Shovel Knight 3D
>>727732727This was such an unforced error by so many retarded companies. And there's nothing any of them can say or do now to walk it back.
>>727732727absolutely disgusting
I'm tired of pretending Shovel Knight wasn't a bad game
>>727732727Maybe they should've kept that 20k and used it to get their games out on time. Fuck em.
>>727727984>an article summarising an article Jason Shrek really is the only actual journalist in gaming
Fuck em.Devs back in the day wanted to make beautiful games with great art but had to deal with the limitations.These cunts deliberately make shoddy outdated looking games to be "hip."
>entire studio existence depends on a GBC wanna be gamehow
>>727733647>20kit was 20k to each
>>727733727Being a fellow slimy semite had its benifits for him and us. They talk to him and he reports it.
>>727731794Shovel knight was a great platformer, would recommend
>>727733919>it was 20k to eachNo it was 20k total. Read it again.
>>727734025nigga I'm John Shovel it was my money being donated
>>727732727The best I can do is $1 on steam sale 8 years from now.
>>727727984>make one successful game 11 years ago>don't make any new games which means no new income sources
>>727734169It's not even worth that, it looks just plain bad. And what is with the spinach green colored bones being the main currency? They look like shit, I don't want to autistically collect those.
>>727728093>>727730471They also added they/them to the genderswap mode.
>>727732727And then BLM was revealed as a scam that took all the money an bought mansions. Anyway the reason why Yacht club will fail is because all they been doing since shovel knight is more and more shovel knight spin offs. If they go under is 100% their fault for milking their one good game for all its worht
>>727734986you have shit taste. that spritework is top
I just want more games with Cute Mouse-Rat Ladies, is that so wrong?
Cyber Shadow was too hard and was based on games that were too hard for casuals to have nostalgia forMina The Hallower has been delayed for 3 years running/thread
>>727727984Don’t buy from virtue signaling developers. Not sorry.
>>727727984>make shovel knight>huge success>make no new game for 10 years>"damn where'd all the money go"and no, the dlcs or whatever they kept making for shovel knight don't count.
>>727740846I meant the gameplay looks bad and the ugly color of the bones stick out too much and are and eyesore when compared to the rest of the visuals. They are the main currency so they are everywhere.
>>727732194Their kickstarter's stretch goals forced them to make a game for a decade and give away all the content after the first wave basically for free.
Didn't shovel knight sell millions and sold even more with ass loads of dlc?They should have a literal swimming pool full of money unless they're squandering it on stupid shit.... which sounds like they are if they're giving money to blm.
>>727742217Shovel Knight's DLC was free to anyone that bought it when it came out. That's probably a big part of the problem.
>>727733763>Devs back in the day wanted to make beautiful games with great artAnd they did make beautiful games with great art. Are people suddenly not allowed to make more nice looking games like those because "muh technology?"
>>727727984
>>727731608cash.what do you expect?
>>727732194A millon is not really that much money, thats like 10 programmers for one year if you stretch it.
>>727742065>stretch goals forced them to make a game for a decade and give away all the content after the first wave basically for free.That's nonsense. The whole point of a stretch goal is to raise more money during the kickstarter. They didn't "give away the content", backers paid for it years in advance.
>>727732727I did not know this... Someone should draw Mappy mating pressing Mina to teach her a lesson.
>>727742065>plague knight's levels were fairly simple remixes>specter knight's levels were completely different with a lot of unique assets>king knight's campaign also launched with a singleplayer cardgame>a bunch of random shit like unique switch tools, genderswap mode, smash clone multiplayer"forced" is a curious word when you are the one forcing yourself to do things of questionable time/profit ratioand players won't exactly see how much time you spent refining and reiterating on the same dozen levels
>>727732727I'm actually insulted. If I didn't back the KS for a copy I would pirate the game out of spite.
>>727749302your KS money probably helped to get some black criminal back on the streets
