What’s up, design devotees? With King of Cards’ one-year anniversary right around the corner, we thought it would be festive to finally tell the tale of how Joustus came to be!

Creating a Shovel Knight Character Sprite

A lot of thought goes into creating all of the characters you interact with during the course of a Shovel Knight adventure! You may have asked yourself: How does Yacht Club decide on a character design? Do they sketch out ideas first or go right to making sprites? Why are there so many horse people?

Some questions don’t have easy answers, but today we can at least shine some light on our process of creating and animating an NPC (non-player character ) for Shovel Knight: King of Cards⁠—The Hengineer.

Shovel Knight: Debug Features

Good day, programming pioneers! If you’ve ever looked into the world of game development, you’ve probably heard that making games is really tough! While that might be true, as we develop more games, we are also developing new ways to make them easier to build. Today, we’d like to discuss some of the development tools and tricks that speed our games from concept to reality. If you’re making a game, we recommend you consider supporting any version of the features we’re about to discuss. Most of them only take a day or two to implement and the payoff can be years worth of work saved!
