Verified AMA

Hi Reddit!

We’re Yacht Club Games, an independent studio best known for Shovel Knight. We got our start on Kickstarter, grew that game into a series, and just launched Mina the Hollower - our first big new original IP since Shovel Knight!

Mina took six years to make and has become the highest-rated game of the year, so we’re here to talk about the whole ride: building an indie studio, developing games, and everything that went into Mina’s design, art, music, bosses, difficulty, secrets, weapons, Sidearms, Trinkets, launch, marketing, and Kickstarter!
