I'm interested in getting it
Just yeah if the studio is in financial trouble, there's no way that it's the game to save them
The game is gonna release, I'm gonna get it and play it, probably have a good time on it, but the studio is 100% fucked

They really haven't made a game for me since shovel knight. their sidescroller was an unfair turd with shit level design and 1 hit kills to make you replay levels infinitely for "content".
it's a bad company and they should die.

>>731263038
Why would you do this ? Why not just either set up a full remote thing so everyone can live where they want ? It's a fucking Gameboy Color inspired game, you need that much office space just buy a house in the countryside that has high speed internet. If you really need some offices I'm sure you could get something for waaaay cheaper just going a tiny bit outside the city.

>>731266519
They rented it in the part of LA that barely anybody can afford.
It's within walking distance of the West Hollywood party scene and right next to the beach.
Outer LA is infinitely cheaper, if they actually wanted a work office.

>>731266823
I wonder if those guys think it was worth it. I mean sure you were living the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, probably getting fat salaries too, but are the owners of the company really happy with burning through all of their treasury just to live the "life" for a few years instead of doing something responsible that would last for as long as they're willing to work? Not to mention, it's a workplace, if you really want to live the city life like your favorite sitcom just rent a place to live, not an office.
Buying a house in the middle of nowhere with some peace and quiet seems like the best choice though...

>>731267072
The plan was to develop a 3d shovel knight game and have it be enough to make the company last another decade.
It's looking like that might not happen.
Mina was their side project that they had a few people work on while bored.
Now it's become their "make it or break it" game and it's not looking good considering they delayed it.
It's also very likely they were paying themselves AAA LA game dev salaries.
This is what happens to most lottery winners as well, they would rather live in luxury for a few years rather than actually making it last.

so sad

The delay was probably due the game is too difficult with the current gameplay and controls, if you played the demo and check some trailers, you will see certain parts of the game look like hell and clearly they are aiming for the silksong crowd

>>731267759
they aren't*

I didn't play the demo and it seems it's no longer available on any platform? Was the reception so bad they pulled it and went to rework the entire game?

>>731267759
Could be. I haven't gotten to play the demo, because it was gone completely before I could get to it.

>>731267759
Yeah. I didn't vibe with the demo. It felt clunky in a bad way due to the very nature of it being based on the GBC with attacks restricted to cardinal directions despite the game asking much more from you in terms of movement. Whereas the retro aesthetic worked to Shovel Knight's advantage, Mina is too advanced for the self-imposed restrictions of its inspiration. Since it's baked into the very core of the game there isn't really anything they can do to make it better, so their only recourse is to scale back how ambitious it is, which is probably one of the last things they want to do. At the same time, if they didn't go with the lol-so-retro look in the first place there wouldn't be much of anything that makes Mina stand out besides a "from the makers of Shovel Knight" in the description. They're amuck between a rock and a hard place here.

>>731268251
The demo was intended to only be available for a limited time from the start.

>>731266519

YC was always going to wind in in the LA area because Wayforward, the company they split from, is also in the LA area. The difference is that WF is located in the cheaper, outer rim of LA whereas YC decided to move to one of the richest parts of LA because they thought they were big boy devs after getting lucky with SK.

>>731268251
a lot of retard game devs do limited time demos, presumably to create FOMO without realising that a lot of people are actually missing out on playing their game

>>731262789
>it all hinges on a gba game with a rat
I feel like shovel knight was a fluke

>>731268841
flash in the pan more like, the music was good, the visual style was good, the gameplay was good and the DLCs were all pretty decent

>>731268841
it came at the right time, before indie pixel games blew up.
actually it was a contributing factor to the indie pixelsplosion
they really lucked themselves into shovel knight.
but these days, brazillians in basements are outpacing them in both quality and speed

While a good studio going under and people losing their jobs is never a good thing, I can't say I'm not enjoying this. Mina has always been an interesting game development wise, announced on the same day as a self-admitted unnecessary kickstarter with full media coverage and a demo (only for media and streamers), it came across very cynical to me. Like if you have a demo, at least release it to the public. So now the game and studio being in this much trouble, it's quite ironic

>>731268841

>>731268935
It is true. Cave Story had already been out a while and we were seeing the hipster era with shitty indie games like Braid and LIMBO. Shovel Knight was good and actually contributed to a handful of other decent pixel indie platformers existing I think.
Now it's really saturated, I just see one now and assume it's average or shit before it's good.

>>731262789
Are the devs desperately trying to shill this game on /v/?

>>731269316
Cave Story literally came out in 2004, it was before Braid and all that
Cave Story was free too, game was literally made out of passion

>>731270154

>>731262789
welp, the game kinda sucks from what they shown in the demo, there really wasn't anything interesting apart from mina being cute

Keep in mind Mina is assuredly launching at least $30. That may kneecap any chance of being fotm.

>>731270605
There's really nothing wrong with it, it's just really bland honestly. It's just a bunch of strung together zelda rooms with some platforming and killing a few guys to advance. Sometimes there's "explore this place and talk to people" sections with really bland dialogue which tries to mimic game boy games dialogue I guess? Combat is fine enough but then there's this burrow ability that is essentially free iframes, just cookie cutter stuff that you'd expect.
That's just my impressions from the demo though, I'm sure there are people who liked it more than I did so I don't want to yuck anyone's yum.

How long has this been in development? I mean GB studio is a thing, you can literally make new GB Color Games now. That Shantae game released for the GBA also. For the market they're going for they're already works going for it. Shovel Knight was great as for its tim, there really was nothing like it, they took too long.

The schizo seems to have latched onto two things:
1) The game looks like a GBC game but doesn’t constrain itself to GBC hardware limitations in terms of scope. This is a bad thing for some reason
2) Yacht Club donated to BLM like 5 years ago and thus deserves bankruptcy

I don’t know why he only started doing this like 6 months ago given how long it’s been since the game was announced.

You might ask "I know what Beverly Hills is, but wtf is Santa Monica??"
It's picrel.

The fact the eShop has the icon of Mina to release in 2030, is telling.
I've never seen this before, if the game doesn't have a date, they usually just the year or not at all. Rhythm heaven is not even listed or Caves of Qud that's was going to launch in December and was delayed.

It made sense before the digital age so you could at least have an easier time getting to trade shows to market your games and network to other studios. Nowadays, people just associate the west coast with high social class because Hollywood markets it as such.

that AND basically trying to overreach with exposure through various other games and things
think there were like, 2-3 board games, a card game, two phone apps(15 and 20bux apiece btw :^)) and allowing SK to cameo virtually everywhere like a street corner prostitute(though that was probably free, it shows how desperate they were to shove SK anywhere they could)
but I imagine a lot of those ventures paid less than they put into it and they had to outsource and pay more people

I had to check the office myself. Because sometimes doom posters can exaggerate the severity of things. "How much can an office cost really?", I asked myself. "Is that location really as expensive as they say?"

Well... It's bad. $21,000 a month. That's $252,000 a year. After only 4 years, they would have spent a milli on the office alone.

Now... considering they made $1,239,584 off the kickstarter alone, and claimed to have other funding. It's not as if they couldn't afford it. If they got the game done in a timely fashion, they probably would have been fine. It's the long development that killed them. But if they were more conservative with their spending, then they could have afforded the long development.

I'm not going to say they "blew their money". But they were too optimistic about the time it would take.

Shovel Knight was mediocre as fuck. Mina the Hollower is going to be the same thing.

So let me get this straight, he fights with... A HECKING SHOVELz!?!? xD

>>731276918
keep in mind they were paying a livable LA wage for 16 employees too
maybe there is a job listing somewhere that has the exact amount, but I haven't looked into it

>>731276918
that's still "just" a million dollars on an office they absolutely didn't need
they also probably inflated their salaries to stupid levels and gave themselves fat bonuses
if you want to keep something going for years you have to consider the long-term, and they did NOT consider the long-term
so yeah, I'd absolutely say they blew their money in that regard
if it were solely to be a one-shot wonder sure, whatever, but they clearly wanted a lot more
they had to kickstart Mina because they were strapped for cash when they absolutely could've bankrolled it with the SK money considering how successful it was out the gate
they even had to auction shit off from their office
mismanaged money, plain and shrimple

>>731277265
>auction
not even, it was a garage sale
first come first serve heavily discounted sale

>>731277115
At the time Shovel Knight was really nice to have
But yeah if it released today it would be a niche 500 review game
Mina isn't gonna save that studio, they're giga fucked no matter if they complete that game or not, unless a meteor full of gold falls in their overexpensive office

In CA, these are all places that are okay-ish to visit, but nightmarish to actually live in nowadays, nobody actually says to themselves
>I'm going to live in LA/San Diego/San Francisco/Redlands/[insert stereotypical CA city here]!
unless they've convinced themselves it's VITAL to live in a city to get the dipshit artfag hipster lorem ipsum experience they think living in a city entails, but more importantly, are either trust fund kids and/or are living on multiple forms of welfare to balance some bullshit job, because it's fucking expensive in big cities, and they forget that Mom/Dad were handling all the bills/parking when they went to Sea World and Disneyland

Most people actually IN the metro area of any given city either rent alongside 3 other people, have been living in a house that's been passed-down for a century with 8 or so people, or are still with their parents in a house they're planning to flip when they die. The dipshit city experience trickles down to dumps like Ontario and San Bernardino, creating insane house/apt. prices just because they sell them with taglines like
>Close to LA/Redlands/the beach! Living in your smalltown is actually gay!
It apparently works on retards, because this shit is what ate into James' budget for the AVGN movie, he HAD to film in LA with all obligatory expenses and legal bullshit, because unless it's done in Hollywood, it's not authentic. No one likes filming in Hollywood because of how much they and CA gouge you, and if James actually knew movies, he'd know Georgia is the new Hollywood

In addition to taxes and other standard business bullshit, these dipshits probably lost a bunch from the usual gas/parking expenses that going out to have fun entails when you live around there, which continues to get worse the more owning a car/car-type business continues to get taxed

Imagine your business model is to spend over half a decade paying over a dozen people in one of the most expensive office spaces in the world to make a gameboy colour style pixel art game with tiny sprites. Expecting it to sell 200k and making several million dollars at minimum, and that's just to keep the lights on.

>>731277265
>inflated their salaries to ridiculous levels
Unfortunately, if you want to live in that part of the country, you need a ridiculously inflated salary.
That's the area where a 100k salary is considered to be just above the poverty line.

Incompetent dev. It's been like 2 years since they announced the DX version of shovel knight and it never came out.

>>731279275
Part of the reason is that they were focused on a 3d shovel knight game. Mina has been a side project that's close to being finished.
If Mina doesn't do well, DX might never release.

>>731279275
Shut a fuck up if you know nothing of gamemaking.

I feel like games at this scale could be made in RPG maker by like 2 people, and it would basically just cost the price of RPG maker itself to make. Hell, people have remade Zelda:LttP with it, its not just for turn based RPG 3 nigga in a row games.

At least it actually looks like a GBC game. I'm sick of retro games that botch the style.

They clearly drastically over estimated the amount of work necessary to make every stage compatible with every character. It was likely originally conceived as a quick cash grab to take Showdown content and throw it in base Shovel Knight before they realized the amount of work necessary to make that actually playable.

How do we guarantee that yacht club is destroyed?

>>731280198
Mean to say under estimated, but that was probably clear from the context.

Not before it releases. Yacht Club COULD release Mina right now probably (if not for the weeks it takes for console verification), it got delayed just a few weeks before it was meant to come out. Goodbye Volcano High was in development hell and fired the writer over Twitter cancelation bullshit deep into production, so Snoot Game had plenty of time to get made. Even if someone had the drive to make a Mina fangame and used a ready-made engine for it it would take months of effort if not years, unless they had no quality control at all. If they didn't care about quality then there's no point in doing it; Snoot Game is notable not just for beating GBVH to release but in being actually good.

Just do what actual games from the time would do and flip the sprite when looking at the side. Make it so her right ear is notched when looking up, down and right, but her left ear is notched when looking left. Nobody would care about this inconsistency, it was used to save memory back then and even modern 2D games often flip asymmetrical sprites when there are a lot of frames e.g. fighting games
