Mina the Hollower Update - Yacht Club Games Presents 2024

[@Cantimule]

Can I just say, as someone who's backed multiple games over the last decade, I really really REALLY appreciate the updates! Most don't even give you the courtesy of "yes we're still alive".

[@dayalasingh5853]

Team cherry 😔

[@JoelMcCary]

​@@dayalasingh5853yatch club is Lawful Good team cherry is chaotic good

[@Grimsikk]

Radio the Universe and Silksong energy.

[@AlquimistEd]

Bros really made an "update" video with irl special effects and acting just to say "we're still working on it".

[@jacobniehaus]

Exactly lol

[@Virtualblueart]

I love devs that go the extra mile like that. Reminds me of the Devolver presentations.

[@theotherky]

I mean, it's still something. Now any non backers have a confirmation that it's still being worked on. *Hint, hint, Nintendo.*

[@PaveltheBugFan]

Skong

[@Mikeyyyy]

Game is obviously gas. But soming soon is so annoying to hear from all these indie devs. Social media has ruined consumer developer release date interaction

[@joeywomer]

That Mina puppet looks really cute.

[@pipedreamer9781]

The limited amount of music we've heard already slaps so hard

[@yulebones]

Yeah, he's good. Would be nice if Kaufman would also make good on the game he successfully funded on KS and immediately made off with the money without doing a single thing on it

[@shaunmartinell5825]

I dunno, sounds exactly like that other series Yacht Club has. Was hoping for something a little different.

[@yulebones]

And in reply to the deleted comment asking whether it's safe to say NUREN was a scam after 8 years of relative radio silence: Not even relative radio silence - it's complete silence. The most he ever said to backers was "Sorry, no updates yet" maybe 3 times, most recently August of 2016, pitched a fit when someone asked for an update, had nothing to say when receipts were given that he wasn't actually being attacked as he said, and then he took down all of his social media, his website, and his and Nuren's youtube pages so nobody could talk to him. Given the timing of his creation of his MintPotion studio, I think we can make an educated guess. And it sucks that he keeps getting work from companies like Yacht Club even after they've been told about this. They don't respond when messaged about it. He's had no accountability whatsoever for running off with $77k.

[@bloodraven432]

This art style is sending me some major Oracle of Ages/Seasons vibes.

[@1Synner]

It is designed with Gameboy Color aesthetics in mind, so... not far off.

[@maxg3677]

Yeah its intended to Look Like those Games. And they really nailed it.

[@truearea53]

And also Links awakening.

[@bboy_33]

Lots of new games this year. Yet out of all of them, THIS is the one I’m the most excited for. :))

[@sethgob5591]

No way this releases this year, probably next year at the very least, otherwise we'd have a date by now

True

[@GeorgeNoiseless]

@@NiNja10Doh The Hollowknightlikes have been coming home to roost in droves. That seems like a nice one and I'm sure it will have a well-deserved following upon release. But it's another among many, even if potentially higher quality.

[@alvaroperez2349]

Finally some updates on Castlevania meets Link’s Awakening.

[@seanmcbay]

Looks to be more than just a homage.

[@shanemiller1182]

[@MyJaiminho]

It's pure any Gameboy's Zelda.

I'm concerned as to how they got all those halloween decorations so far away from october...

[@theotherky]

Smart/cheap people don't buy new decorations every year, they save the good ones to reuse in the future

[@jacksquatt6082]

Spirit Halloween stores are open year round.

[@thatmlguy9889]

I always loved the visual style of the Gameboy Color Zelda games and this adds to it so well, it looks amazing!

[@raisie6334]

Not gonna lie: This is my most wanted game right now. Shovel Knight was brilliant. And this looks like the same tier.

[@1Synner]

Watching this game go from concept to practice is bewitching. I cannot wait to get my claws on this action-adventure-horror. There will be a special spot for it among my collection, for sure.

[@Alchimexx]

I was REALLLY hoping for a release window, Im so excited for it.

[@Fox-in-the-Storm]

This game looks old-school tough, and that makes me even more excited for it.

[@quinnholloway5400]

Shovel Knight was old school tough too especially if you try to complete it 100%

This game seems to be really special. The highest echelon

[@TheJtorres182]

I'm really excited but also really sad we don't have a release window after all these years.

[@pretzel1313]

At least they're not completely silent like Team Cherry.

[@GeorgeNoiseless]

"All these years" Yes, all these... *checks* _TWO_ years? WOOOOOaaaoooooooWWww! Truly a Silksong / Deltarune / Radio the Universe experience over here.

[@TrentTheCreator]

​@@pretzel1313Exactly they're providing us actual updates and I appreciate them.

[@SquidJoe]

I hope we get a release window soon. I've seen some of the Dev Vlogs and all the backer updates and this game is shaping very well. I see my Mina plushie waiting at the corner of my desk... patiently.

[@Technodreamer]

Man, I didn't get the plush during the Kickstarter, and I've been kicking myself ever since.

[@Vekttorus]

wow I stumbled upon this video by accident, but after watching the gameplay I wanted this game more than I ever expected from any other pixel game.

[@SAKRAYx]

As a huuuge Zelda Fan and a huge fan of the Zelda topdown series this game just melts my heart if it gets created with the same love Shovel Knight had I can wait any amount to play because it's going to be a pixel masterpiece

[@AlexanTheMan]

Lovely to see more promotion for this game. I hope it gets all the polish it deserves!

[@collin2401]

I backed this game, and am very excited about it. That said, I would have preferred a more concrete release date than, Coming Soon™

[@Professor_Utonium_]

​@@COMMODOOSAWhy not try being constructive and having a conversation? That usually works a lot better than belittling someone and not providing any additional information to either teach them something new or at the very least, support your own point.

Ok. All I’m saying is that if you guys drop this on Halloween, it would be thematically appropriate.
