After the success of Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games revealed what they’ve been working on, and it’s a completely new action game called Mina the Hollower.
The top-down action adventure game has a funding target of £230,401 on Kickstarter. At the time of writing, this target has already been met. Mina the Hollower is artistically influenced by the Game Boy Color, and it will operate at a smooth 60 frames per second.
Alec Faulkner, director and designer of the Yacht Club Games
We want your input, participation, and help to make Mina the Hollower the greatest game it can be.” That’s why we’re going back to our origins and launching Mina the Hollower as a Kickstarter project. We think that by funding the bulk of this project ourselves, we will be able to produce a more broader game. We also want to create a community around Kickstarter, similar to what we achieved with Shovel Knight.
We’re so excited to finally reveal Mina the Hollower! It is a bone-chilling action adventure featuring classic gameplay & an 8-bit aesthetic in the style of the GBC, but refined for the modern era.
