Shovel Knight Showdown Trailer
updated
Let's spread love instead of squishing bugs. The in-game event focuses on your pal, Beefto (a really buff Beeto). He accidentally misplaced all of his Valentine’s Day cards (probably during his workout!) It’s up to you to help him and save Valentine’s Day! But be warned….others covet them as well!
This heartfelt & free in-game event lasts for 8 days and there are 12 Valentines to collect. Players will be able to view their collection in the Extras section of their GuideBook.
The event is only accessible on the Steam version of the game as Mod Support is a PC-only feature and you will need to subscribe to the Mod to unlock it. The event formally starts at midnight on February 14th PT (but might release sooner depending on your time zone) and will end on February 22, 2024 at 12pm PT.
For more info and directions on how to access the in-game event visit: yachtclubgames.com/blog/vday-event-2024
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is 50% off on Steam

Just because we're entering the holiday season doesn't mean we're taking a break from our monthly development streams. This month, Alec will be your level design guide once again as he revisits the Frozen Trainyard. What, did you think we were done with that level? No way, games are never done until they're shipped (and sometimes not even then)!
We are also going to pin the link in the #private-developer-stream Discord channel prior to the event, so make sure you’ve joined the official Yacht Club Games Discord!
Discord Invite Link: discord.gg/Csgcj9kr2G
If you can’t join this stream at the scheduled time or didn’t back at the appropriate tier then don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. All of our previous streams will be regularly released alongside our Kickstarter updates.
This stream was held on Thursday, October 19 from 12-2pm PT.
Our lead designer, Alec, will be working on the first step in the process of kicking off a new level: writing up the design specs. Take a peek at our GDD (Game Design Doc) and converse with Alec and the team as we try to take the many ideas the team’s pitched for the next level’s enemies, objects, areas, and bosses, and organize them into detailed specs that describe the various behaviors and art assets needed to unblock the rest of the team’s work on this new area.

The Mina the Hollower team will be available for a live Q&A while artist, Sandy Gordon, pixels his way through a couple of our NPC Director for a Day backer reward submissions.
We've been working with our NPC Directors and have collected a majority of the 20 filled backer submissions. They're all incredibly creative and, thankfully, very diverse! The central town HUB will be teeming with life of all kinds, from animals in hats to humans in spats…and maybe an entirely unique creature or two! It's going to be a lot of fun seeing how our art team uses the submitted prompts while working within the Game Boy Color art restrictions.

Our illustrious project lead, Alec, will be working on the level layout for Septemburg alongside other participating team members. “Wait a second,” you might say, “didn’t you say in Update #24 that you finished Septemburg?” Oh ho ho, we did, but that was just the first design pass to get the level fully playable end to end.

This was the first of many in-depth audio-focused streams, for all the folks who pledged the Music Tier and up!
This Stream was held on November 10th, 2022
Stream Description:
In this very special SFX-focused stream, you’ll get a first-hand look into audio design and the process of how we implement sounds into the game! To effectively do this, we’re taking on the ambitious task of multi-casting our desktops LIVE during the event. Jake Kaufman will be in heads-down focused mode (spreadsheets and all) crafting various sound effects for Septemburg. He’ll then hand off the finished pieces to the dev team to code it into the game in real time.

Welcome to Septemburg, where the perpetual autumn season carries crisp air and freshly fallen leaves conceal secrets both tantalizing and terrifying! The local townsfolk are accustomed to a simple life, with farming being the trade of choice. However, recently, locals remain behind closed doors as inhabitants go missing and the wind carries rumors of a lurking threat.
Mina will need to tread lightly if she’s to survive the horrors that lurk in the shadows. Even the ground isn’t always a safe place for a Hollower here.

They will be joined by other members of our Mina dev team and we’ll get into the nitty gritty of art and design mechanics. We’ll even show you some of our delightful developer tools we use in-house! It’s going to be a grand ol’ exciting & educational time!
For more info on our upcoming game, visit: https://www.MinaTheHollower.com
As promised previously, we’ll be releasing some of the older Private Developer Stream VODs on our YouTube channel! Though the full participation experience of the Private Developer streams is exclusively a $75 tier (and up) backer-only perk, we hope the VODs can help give the rest of the community a glimpse of what our development process looks like.

Note: This live stream was held on July 14th, 2022
In our upcoming Stream, we’ll take a trip down to the (sandy, yet very scary) Bone Beach! The members of the Mina dev team will share a play-by-play of our internal level design process! You’ll get to see how we arrange the layout of each level and our strategy for hazard and enemy encounters! The team will also playtest the level created (on-stream) to see if it’s fun and challenging enough! It’s shore-ly going to be a good time!

The Early Preview of the first Puzzler Pack is available on Steam! The entire DLC Pack is FREE, so you’ll only need the base game to delve into the Pocket Dungeon’s new content.
Please keep in mind that since the DLC pack is still in development, we'll be continuously adding new content and fixing bugs! Players are encouraged to share their opinions and suggestions on our Discord channel!
CONTENT UPDATE -
Quandary Runs:
Mole Knight:
“Claw Attack” Refract Ability Challenge: You can move anywhere in the well and attack units that are above you. However you find less potions.
“Well Buried” Character Challenge: The board is always full! Defeating units will just make more spawn. If you do not clear foes fast enough the board will collapse!
Treasure Knight:
“Anchor Hook” Refract Ability Challenge: Hook units towards you or anchor yourself towards the edges of the well.
“Under the Well” Character Challenge: New units take longer to spawn but do so in full rows coming from below.
Relic -
Cosmic Cupcake: Some blocks are cake! They heal for 1HP. Heal does not stack.
Friendly reminder that the DLC pack is still in development! We'll be continuously adding new content and fixing bugs (so keep an eye out for more announcements!) Players are encouraged to share their opinions and suggestions on our Discord channel!

New Quandary Run Characters:
Specter Knight:
“Moonlight” Character Challenge: Every so often the moon will change phases. When it is full, Specter Knight will lose his recovery ability and transform.
“Scythe Slice” Refract Challenge: Slice through chained foes! (As long as there is a free spot at the end of the chain!)
Plague Knight:
-“Extra Toxic” Character Challenge: All monsters have increased HP in this challenge. Poison damage persists but acts slower. Foes defeated with your poison attack will not reward gems.
-“Bomb Burst” Refract Challenge: Plague can now jump all around the field. While at full health, collect potions to store up Bomb Burst charges!
New Relics:
Super Skeleton Key: This is the only key you will ever need! Rumors say other keys burst when hit with it! Terrific!
Stick of Ram: Charging in the same direction will give you more damage! Make sure to not slow down!

In our most recent Yacht Club Games Presents, we revealed that we were working on an expansive slate of DLC (3 packs) for our beloved roguelike-puzzler, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon! With that in mind, developing a well-balanced game can be quite difficult - especially if it’s a unique hybrid genre! So, in true Yacht Club Games fashion, we thought it would be fun to pull back the development curtain and invite you to help us make Pocket Dungeon’s DLC truly shine!
Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re releasing an early preview of the first Puzzler Pack on Steam! The entire DLC Pack is currently FREE, so you’ll only need the base game to delve into the Pocket Dungeon’s new content.
Please keep in mind that since the DLC pack is still in development, we'll be continuously adding new content and fixing bugs! Players are encouraged to share their opinions and suggestions on our Discord channel!
We held a very special sneak peek into what our (backer-only) Mina The Hollower Developer Live Streams will look like! The design topic for discussion during the stream was the theming of an ALL NEW game area (including enemies, objects, and more!) A humongous thank you to all the folks who joined in our stream!
Visit https://www.MinaTheHollower.com to pledge!
You might be asking yourself, “What is a Developer Live Stream?” It is an interactive live stream that exhibits what goes on behind the game development curtain. We operate the same as when we hold our internal design meetings so, you’ll get a first-hand look on how ideas are cultivated and implemented into a game. We made this available as a reward tier for our original Shovel Knight Kickstarter as well as for our Mina the Hollower campaign (starting at the $75 dollar tier)!
For this special sneak peek (as well as the backer-only ones moving forward), we’ll be chatting with you just as if you are in the room with us! You are more than welcome to participate (vote on ideas, make suggestions, etc.) or be a fly on the wall. As the conversation progresses, we might ask you to elaborate! We have made a special channel in our Official Yacht Club Games Discord titled “Developer Sneak Peek” for you to post any references you’d like.
Discord Link: discord.gg/Csgcj9kr2G
We’ll be discussing a BRAND NEW biome in-game! You do not need to do anything to prepare (just bring your thinking cap!) The entire team is excited to share Mina’s development process with you. We hope you join us on Friday!
See you there, Hollowers!
We're so excited to announce that the legendary composer, Yuzo Koshiro, will be composing two tracks in Mina the Hollower! If you aren’t familiar with this music virtuoso, he’s a musical genius who’s composed tracks for some of your favorite games going back 30+ years. To list just a few of the games he’s contributed to: Super Smash Bros., Shenmue, The Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Etrian Odyssey, Castlevania, and much MUCH more.
If you were to ask your favorite game musician who their favorite artists are, chances are, you'd hear Yuzo Koshiro over and over again. He’s a living legend and we’re beyond humbled to have him contribute to the creative melting pot of Mina the Hollower. A big shout out to our friends at Brave Wave, who helped reach out to him with this opportunity!
