>Spring 2026 Release Date>It's Spring 2026>Still no Release DateWhat gives?
yacht club games fell off
>>736547248Mina is too busy getting fucked by her human bf (me). Prease understandu
waiting for the Nintendo direct probably
>>736547310It keeps appearing on every Direct first it was Nintendos' Indie and now recently State of Play. EVERY TIME WITHOUT A PROPER RELEASE DATE.How do they even allow them in?
>>736547526Shovel Knight prestige.
>>736547248No release date but in the pax panel they really nailed it down it was coming spring so with in the next 3 months for sure.
This game is in development hell, it doesn't make sense a 7 month delay for an indie game like this
BUY OUR MERCH ! DON'T YOU LIKE THIS CHARACTER YOU CAN'T EVEN PLAY AS???
>>736548137Why is it a Game Boy cartridge and not GBA like it's emulating?
>>736547248>multiple years and millions of dollars to make a shitty gbc gamemoney wash scheme
>>736548191It's emulating Game Boy Color, dingus
>>736547248Don't care. I'm playing Diana's game this month
>>736549573Oh nice, I don't know why it looked like a GBA game in my memory of the shitty demo. Also thank you I never knew about the GBC black cartridges, only the clear ones.
>>736547526MoneyYou think Nintendo and Sony give these games free press out of the kindness of their hearts?
POST THE GRILL
>>736550707Weren’t they in massive debt and need this to be a massive success?
>>736547248Tearscape replaced it
>>736550924
>>736547248This shit looks like it could be done by a single dev.Where did all that time and money went?
>>736550924>>736551812It went into THIS
>>736547248Turns out making a Zelda clone is difficult and takes a lot of work, as opposed to making Souls or Mega Man clones.
The game released during the Vidya Gaem Awards
>>736551014They might have just paid once before they delayed it but the pre-orders are enoigh for Nintendo amd Sony think its worth featuring.Even if its not enough to save Yacht Club It'll probably get Nintendo and Sony a few $100k in royalties from what it ends up selling.
>>736551841what is the story behind this?
>>736552590indie studio makes a smash hit, buys expensive LA office as well as needless junk to litter it, including a grill, goes too long without another hit, starts selling stuff to stay afloat, including the grill
>>736550102IIrc. Black cartridges worked on either console. But had color set up for use on gameboy. The clear cartridges only worked on the gameboy color. A handful of games also had colors configured for super gameboy.
>>736550707Why aren't they using that money to send a guy into the Zelda Dungeon forums?
>>736550707Nintendo does, rarely. They'll happily give Deltarune free press, for example. Anyone else has to pay thousands.
>>736551812BLM donations (not joking)
>>736552131>Even kills a mouse with hatMinabros…
>>736547248They're actually fucked, and they know it.The best they can do is keep delaying the release for as long as possible, and pray that the extra wait time increases the 'hype' enough that it will get enough sales to keep them afloat.The main issue being that nobody who was interested in the game even cares any more. Barring some miracle, YCG is dead in the water.
I WANT TO MARRY A MOUSE
>Tombwater>Tearscape>Under the IslandTop down indie games just don’t understand Zelda
>>736547248CONCORD 2D
>>736552775>A handful of games also had colors configured for super gameboy.Wait really? I had the super gameboy and never even knew of this. I only used the super gameboy rather sparingly in spite of having had it.
>>736554649Serves them right. I get adding shit to Shovel Knight to make it a complete games, but between buying an expensive LA studio (when the whole point of indie games is to make as much as possible while still being frugal on costs), not doing ANYTHING major with the Shovel Knight IPs outside cameos in forgettable games like Blade Strangers or anything else, they kind of deserve to fail for being so ridiculously shit at managing their resources.They could've lasted a lot longer if they didn't get it in their heads that they need to stay in the most expensive part of one of the most expensive cities in America. Quite a shame since I actually do like Shovel Knight, but c'est la vie.
>>736547248Making gameboy games is a lost art.
>>736547310>studio of cuck BLM donators 'fell off'Fell off of what, you retard?
>>736558515it's been 6 yearsmove the fuck on already
>>736555109Was Tearscape bad? I pirated it but never got around to playing it
>>736558660How many years has it been since ww2?
>>736558515kek
>>736547248I don't think i've ever seen this game being mentioned by anyone outside of here.
>blm devsyikes
>>736559343why try to make that red or blue issue
>>736559343>Believing anything the orange inbred saysSure bro. He definitely won't pull out at the last second this time. Surely.
>>736548540They probably would've already been finished if it was a real homebrew GBC game. At least that would've kept the scope in check.
>>736547248cute rat
>>736547248Also Witchbrook
World War 3 turning every thread into culture war bullshit eventually is a bit surreal to witness.
>>736548137Is the game design doc out already? I remember it being one of the backer rewards
>>736558660no, you WILL be held accountable.
>>736559536Haven't cared about that game since it went isometric
>>736556132Yeah but its very few. Only one i know off hand is the original medabots games.
>>736559553It'll calm down after 75% of the people who post here get drafted.
>>736560665Strait's closed
>>736559553this time ww3 is happening for sure sister
This thread sucks; too much politics, not enough mouse pics
>>736558515Actually it's covid's fault, no wait it's Biden's fault, no uhhh it's allowing men in woman's sports that casued them to fall off. Yeah.
>>736558660Don't be so antisemitic
>>736558690NTA but I didn't like the demo. The attack arcs weren't mirrored so it was impossible to hit in certain directions, movement felt bad, and it seemed like it had all the issues of ALttP in terms of screen size and enemies bumping into you over and over, but with incredibly low HP and damage because "it's a soulslike".
>>736555109I liked Under the Island well enough, it was better than Girl from Akanya, but so far the only indie 2D zeldas I've seen that have been actually great on their own merits are Pipistrello and Master Key.
>>736550707This isn't the Geoff Keigley show where the end-all be-all is hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute of airtime.They give them free press because they like to show off that their platform has video games on it, especially if they can say "next game from the team behind Hollowknight or Undertale or Shovel Knight" or whatever.
>>736562880I was just about to ask: is the mouse furfag community big enough to make this game a success and save the studio?
I hope they put Mina in a bunch of other games like they did with shovel knight, that way she might end up in one that's actually decent.
who's your favorite vidya mouse?
Reminder that Mina would sell like hotcakes if they made the character even slightly feminine
>>736564675I feel there would be a non-zero chance of her getting into Rivals of Aether 2, given RoA1 had Shovel Knight despite him not even being an animal though an easter egg let you take off his helmet and reveal he has a fish head, if the timing was a bit better, but I can't see it happening when its players are practically screaming for their favorite veterans to get added to the sequel
>>736564790
>>736558690The final boss is a giant monster and there’s no Ganondorf clone. Very lame.
>>736565068Forgot to mention the other factor that between Olympia (already in RoA2, posted here >>736565387) and Pomme who was in RoA1 and will probably get added eventually, we'd have three rodents in the game with Mina, probably too many
>>736565390Isn't it a 2D Zelda? Those usually just have Ganon, not Ganondorf.
>>736565758There’s no Vaati stand-in either so the game is missing a human versus human boss fight.
>>736558660>appeal to triviality
>The HowlerWhy did they have to call her that? That sounds so erotic.
Why did an indie game studio pick Yacht Club as a name?
>>736558789Cool it with the anti semitism.
Boats are cool fuck off
>>736564790I like her sensitive nose.
>Yacht club is a sinking ship >Yacht club is sailing of... towards bankruptcy >Yacht club on ice >Yacht club last voyage Which one is a good title for the article about their closure?
>>736568789>Yacht club blew it on hookers and cocaine.
Mina The Vaporware
Mina The Swallower
>>736558660But enough about Mina's dev time
>female protagshan't be playing
>non-feminine female protag shan't be playing
>>736570881Mina seems pretty feminine to me.
the only success this game will have is from furries wanting to hollow mina out
>>736570949bullshit, if you were presented that character design in the OP with no context you'd assume its a male
>>736568789The toxic gamer iceberg that sunk yacht club
>>736571269Yes, but I'd still want to fuck him.
>>736547248I think the demo's underwhelming response made them rethink things.
>>736571628The subsequent demos showed basically no changes so even if it did they didn't act on it in any appreciable way.
character does look pretty he/she now that I think about it>>736571628How many years?
>>736571628If only they released the demo to the public and not just streamers and game review sites... oh well
>>736568789>Yacht Club looks more like the Titanic
Mina The Mongler
>>736564120>>736550707They give airtime to games that are likely to be earners, since the platform owner gets a cut. it's that simple.
>>736572640>If only they released the demo to the publicthey did
>>736571628Why is the demo bad? Thorne’s boss fight was perfectly fine with 4 whole attacks.
>>736572931For a limited time years after the fact
>>736573204so you agree
>>736573106it's not bad it's just "eh"
>>736573228My point is that them revealing the game along a kickstarter, a paid discord and a demo thats only available to people they deem worthy of advertising their game is an incredibly bad look and seeing the company fall apart has been a joy to watch
>>736573315>seeing the company fall apart has been a joy to watch
>>736552131i have binding of isaac fatigue
>>736573315what does that have to do with >>736571628
>make a super successful kickstarter game that makes a bazillion dollars>still have to fund the next one with kickstarterThis always feels like a scam when Indie devs do this
>>736573427Oh, nothing. I just wanted to shit on Yacht Club
>>736573491I like crowdfunding, but they should release the game for free if they get crowdfunded. Crowdfunding and then selling copies is double dipping.
>>736573648That's a horse
>>736573669Typically the people who crowdfund get the game for "free" when it finishes, why would people outside of that get it for free? Do you know what funding is?
>>736573106>Rollslop>Roll needs 10 frames before Mina burrows and becomes invincible
>>736552131>First move is a diagonal attackNo need to rub it in…
>>736573427Are you missing the point that, had they released the demo to the public far earlier they would have been able to pivot then instead of having to do a last minute delay at which point the game is unfixable because all the systems and design would have to be reworked from scratch?
>>736547248Delay again
>>736558660Hmmmm, no. The retribution will continue until moral improves.
just add tits to promo art. sales boost guaranteed
>>736573376No faggy image will stop me from laughing while dancing on their graves
Yacht Club should talk about the BOSS QUALITY so that they can save Mina. This isn't hard.
They put in a jumpscare, isn't that super cool? You should wishlist it right now!
This artstyle is pure eye-burning cancer and impossible to watch someone play, let alone play it yourself. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>736573669All crowdfunding does is replace corporate investors with backers, there still needs to be money to make the game before selling it. If they gave it away after selling it, then the people who backed game to the level of just getting a copy of the game would be ripped off.
>>736577892>Pay for game>Get game>Ripped off?
>>736577679what I hate about all these pixelart wannabe retro games is that they don't even follow visual limitations or anything. their games could not even run on old devices without serious sacrifices.the ones I hate the most are "ps1 demakes" running in Unity/unreal
>>736547248nostalgia slop
>>736578035If you give the game away for free after the kickstarter, then the game is worth nothing, which means those who backed for any amount of money and only got a copy of the game basically wasted money.
All four Shovel Knight campaigns were great. Where did it go wrong?
>>736578359If you buy any game on steam, you cannot resell it, therefore it is worth nothing and have wasted your money.
I'm starting to think that top-down Zelda x Soulslike is a bad pairing
>>736578721As long as you don't play the game you can refund it, so the game only loses its value once you use it, like driving a new car off the lot.
>>736578381Possibly resting on their laurels, they were the BIG indie darling of the 2010s, they got real big, and the only games that came close to/passing in popularity were games like Hollow Knight and Undertale. But unlike those two, who went essentially radio silent while work on sequels (or in Deltarune's case, similar ideas), YC kept pushing SH, giving the other campaigns away for free for too long (I got all of them on 3DS and I wasn't even a backer) and in general living in an expensive area when it wasn't necessary, especially in this digital age where parts of a project can be shared on the fly. SK was announced and released in a one year timeframe, Mina should NOT be taking as long as it currently is, and it certainly shouldn't be a "do or die" situation.
>>736578947Wait is this the game? What the fuck are they doing?
>>736579397are you retarded?
>>736568789Yacht not gonna believe this
>>736579568>>736568789Yacht (not) gonna give it to ya.
>>736579397that's Tearscape, a similar game that actually came out but doesn't have rat porn
>>736578947>>736580006even has the bloodborne hat and cape and even a stamina barwhy to faggots have to copy soulslop? fucking make up your own thing you retarded niggers.
>>736580065It's pretty bad at copying Bloodborne. There's no Lady Maria clone for a cool sword duel.
>>736577847trying way too hard autist-kun
>>736579513>someone posts a webm in a thread about a game>assume it's the game in question Kill yourself faggot
>>736579397>>736580412Here's your rat webm

I'd be interested in it maybe if it didn't look like a GBC game
>>736582205what if it was an actual GBC game?
>>736581994It was me, I slandered the indie devs. And you wanna know why? Their boss fights were terrible.
>>736573669the people that crowdfund get it at a discountthat's more than fairas an indie dev you depend on your game to have legs and sell for years after it's published
