• How Shovel Knight's last boss was designed four times - 29 January 2020

  This is The Mechanic , where Alex Wiltshire invites developers to discuss the difficult journeys they ve taken to make their games. This time, Shovel Knight . When Yacht Club Games decided to style Shovel Knight after the NES games that inspired it, they took that project seriously. Shovel Knight can t fill the screen with 1000 bullets or radically switch up how it plays. It has to stay true to its inheritance, else, as programmer and co-designer David D Angelo tells me, It d stand out as bizarre. So its bosses naturally follow classic rules, too, including its final one, the Enchantress. Here, Yacht Club faced the challenge of producing a fight with the same restriction of four attacks and 20 hit points as all the other bosses, while also acting as a striking culmination of the adventure. But the real challenge began when they went back to redesign her another three times, once for eac…

• Shovel Knight's final campaign is out now - 10 December 2019

  The final Shovel Knight campaign launched today, letting us play as the dastardly King Knight in King Of Cards, and so did its battle mode Showdown. These are the final two big Kickstarter stretch goal features that developers Yacht Club Games have been ploughing through since first launching their rad retro-styled platformer in 2014. It’s taken longer than expected but damn, backers got a hell of a deal. Have a look in the trailers below. (more…)

• Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove getting big price bump tomorrow, so maybe grab it quick - 9 December 2019

  If for some reason (forgetfulness, inexplicable dislike of excellent retro platformers) you've still yet to snag Shovel Knight's Treasure Trove edition, developer Yacht Club Games has warned that it's getting a significant price bump tomorrow, 10th December. At present, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove costs around 18.99/$24.99 USD (with prices fluctuating depending on platform), and already offers some top-tier value. Currently, it includes the original Shovel Knight game, Shovel of Hope, plus its two following episodes Plague of Shadows and Spectre of Torment - both of which introduce new protagonists with their own distinct abilities, radically altering the core platforming experience. As of 10th December, however, Yacht Club Games' long-awaited final two Shovel Knight instalments - King of Cards and Showdown - will be added to the Treasure Trove bundle. The former brings a new protagon…

• Shovel Knight Showdown and King of Cards finally get release date - 13 November 2019

  Mark the 10th of December on your calendar, Shovel Knight fans, as Yacht Club Games is releasing a hefty amount of Shovel Knight content for you to sink your spade into. First up we have Shovel Knight: King of Cards, the spin-off 2D platformer that focuses on King Knight which also includes the card game Jaustus. Next is Shovel Knight Showdown, the local four-player battler. Both of these are the final additions to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, and anyone who already owns the Treasure Trove bundle can get both King of Cards and Showdown for free. Alternatively, these can be bought separately (except by players using the Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita, as Showdown will not be available for those platforms). Read more
