This Friday I'll be interviewing Sandy Gordon the Pixel Artist and animator for Yacht club games who worked on the Shovel knight expansions and all of the upcoming Mina the Hollower.

If anyone has a question they would like to ask please comment them below and I will ask Sandy whatever I can.

We will be discussing the art and animation development process to Bring Mina the Hollower and its world to life. We will also be looking at early design work and concept art.

It will be on my channel:

https://youtube.com/@thepixeltavern a week or so later

P.S please subscribe if you haven't already, and you can see my early thoughts on Mina the hollower on the channel now :)

EDIT: Thank you for all the great questions so far ! Il read out your Reddit names in the interview:)

Can’t wait for this game 🥲

Just men of war assault squad 2 for 40k lamenters campaign mod cause theyre pretty much doomed defnese tragic factions and red rising for mixed tech warfare . Gates of hell for fallout mod coqnuest camapaign as enclave to i guess restore their old glory of america liking the semi random objective and Ufo aftermath for alliens .

Its been my go to really nothing else and paralives will be coming so theres that

I wasn't going to pick this up until the assist mode announcement dropped. I absolutely hate corpse run mechanics. I wouldn't be opposed to turning on the extra checkpoints too. I doubt that I'd use anything else on a first playthrough though.

Not trying to pirate. Will pay full price just need a method to play.

This game is about to be such a classic, so close to a week away!

Now that we have impressions from the first few hours, and we’ve seen the YCG marketing machine spin up, what do you think will happen? How will the game do? Will the studio survive?

Don’t know about other people but for some that like competing and sharing achievements with each other things like this can ruin that competition and comparisons

Hi all! I run a small YouTube channel that was fortunate enough to be offered a review copy for Mina the Hollower. Here's my Preview after 7 hours of play time. Everything in here is within Yacht club games guide lines for what I can show. If you have any questions on my playtime please leave a comment on YouTube and il be happy to answer whatever I can

I hope you enjoy !

I just finished Pipistrello and I'm looking for another S-tier Zeldalike to dive into until May 29th

Already played :

Death's Door ( S-tier)

Crypt Custodian ( S-tier)

Mini shoot (S-tier)

Unsighted (A+ tier)

I was rather impressed with the level of quality and polish they poured into Pipistrello, and I have great expectations for Mina, so hit me up with your favourites that could be mine !

Just a moment ago the preview embargo lifted and critics were able to talk about their experience with the first 6-8 hours of the game. These previews show quite a lot of the game, so if you want to stay spoiler-free I would advise against watching them.

Here's a brief summary of everyone's overall thoughts about the game:

• The game is very difficult.
• The world and level design is extremely intricate and deceptively ambitious, much more so than the demo let on. Exploration is a massive highlight.
• There are a vast variety of weapons, sidearms, and trinkets which are all fun to experiment with.
• There are many, many surprises whether it be NPCs, collectibles, quests, secret bosses, etc.
• The game is very reminiscent of soulsborne games in much more ways than just the spark you lose upon death.
• There are an insane amount of accessibility options (over 100!), however some of them disable achievements.

Overall, the previews are very positive. Full reviews are coming May 27. (2 days before release)

backers have been cast aside. the public is getting to buy the game at the same price we did. we deserve better.

I'm debating between the two versions for my survey. Anyone know if the PS5 version will leverage the power of the system? Maybe it won't matter much for the game? If not, the portability of the Switch version is appealing.
