FAQ
We get asked a bunch of questions repeatedly so maybe we can predict your next questions! If you have a Shovel Knight, Specter Knight, or Plague Knight campaign support question, maybe we’ve got you covered here! For anything else, let’s get to it:
- toggleWhat program do you use to do pixel animation?
It’s called Promotion and it’s super cool. Check it out: http://www.cosmigo.com/promotion/index.php
- toggleWill Yacht Club allow YouTube content creators to monetize videos featuring gameplay footage?
Yes! For more information, visit our Video Policy.
- toggleWhat engine are your games made in?
We use our own custom c++ engine. It uses DirectX on PC and OpenGL on Mac+Linux. For our level editor, we use tiled: http://www.mapeditor.org/
- toggleDo you love Mega Man?
Yes.
- toggleWill you make Shovel Knight forever and ever?!
Definitely. Wait, maybe. Ehhhh we don’t know. Depends on our mood. We all love Shovel Knight, but we have millions of ideas. It would be fun to take the series the same route that other great games went and create a Super Shovel Knight or a Shovel Knight 64. We could also see us using the brand for other crazy genres or games ( ie Shovel Kart, anyone? ).
- toggleHow can I stop thinking about Shovel Knight?
Let us know when you find the cure.
- toggleWill Shovel Knight become a mermaid?
Oh! I thought you would never ask! We’ll just have to see!
