Figured I'd post some of Mina the Hollower's most recent, terrifyingly tiny, and spectacularly spooky gameplay!
🐭💥 With much more to come!

The merchant’s eyes shimmered like coins at the bottom of a deep well as he named his price ... something you’d never owned, yet somehow felt the loss the moment you agreed.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed
Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.
On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Please know how difficult this was for us.🙏
Thank you for understanding that game dev is an iterative and sometimes unpredictable process and for trusting that we'd only make a call like this if we were confident the extra time would produce a more polished and exciting game.💕

This week, our team made a tough decision: we decided to delay Mina the Hollower. The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on Oct 31st, but we’re just not quite there yet.

Here’s a mockup for a game I’m making with my good friend Cerbu:
You’re a rogue ace pilot taking on the deadliest machines weaponized corporations can throw at you. Fast-paced action, gripping story, the works.
More soon!

The Legendary Axe concept mockup. Been a while since I made one of these. Research was tough. I have no connection to the game or the turbografx-16 whatsoever, but the final boss being a weird and unsettling merger of confused cavemen held together by an eldric mass was captivating.

I can't believe Silksong took 7 years to develop and it's still full of bugs.

Mina the Hollower was one of the biggest surprises from the Indie Showcase for me! It's giving off Link's Awakening DX vibes here. Might be another Zelda-esque game like Tunic, Blossom Tales, or Death's Door. Has you played you played the demo yet? shorturl.at/5wCih
