We have a VERY special guest on the show today. Big welcome to Sean Velasco, studio head at Yacht Club Games. Sean's here to talk about everything that's happened since the launch of Mina the Hollower and share what in store for Yacht Club Games. We've been friends with Sean for over 10 years, ever since we first played Shovel Knight on the Wii U so this was an incredible reunion. Also in this episode, we react to all these actors that were leaked for The Legend of Zelda movie. Does this mean a Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct is coming, and soon? We also react to Nintendo's most recent financials. We're also playing some great new games including Final Fantasy 14 and The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered! All this and much more is coming right up. 0:00 - Here we go!9:26 - Mina and Hollower and the future of Yacht Club Games1:19:32 - News news news 1:43:50 - Games we're playingPatreon shout-outs- All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Thank you Super Stars: Eigenverse, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O'Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Andrew Youhas, krashuri, Master Discord, Travis Torline, MSMPokeGamer, RBurns, KITT 10K, Nafon Clover, TheSharkAmongMen, RainTech, KissMyFlapjack, Paul Gale Network, Cameron, Catsually Nerdy, Xudeverf, David Williams - Konke Gamers, David, Fen O'Connor, Khalifa al SuwaidiFollow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrystahttps://twitter.com/kitandkrystahttps://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrystahttps://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/https://bsky.app/profile/kitandkrysta.bsky.social-Kit & Krysta

How many ways can you die in a mechanic simulator? What year did the Wii and PS3 actually come out? And what's the best way to deal with fascism? These questions and many more might be answered on this jam packed episode of the Maximum Utcast!

The developers of Shovel Knight are, at long last, back with a new game—and despite the long wait, it's absolutely fantastic. Mina the Hollower is a love letter to topdown games like Zelda, mixed in with elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and many others. It's also had a long journey towards release, which was a topic of conversation during a recent chat Patrick had with Yacht Club Games' founder and director Sean Velasco and programmer David D'Angelo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two years ago at PAX East 2015 Justin was wandering the slightly less frigid wasteland of the Boston Convention Center, in search of game developers to talk to. He was not of the media pass holder type of attendee for this event, so easy conversations and networking were beyond his hopes. Then, from across the expo hall he spotted a booth. It was a booth not unlike the others, but what he saw was a knight...and a shovel. He ventured closer, daring to see if these fine people had a game of interest to show him. What he spotted was a retro-styled platformer he has long been curious about. But what was this, did his eyes deceive him? Surely that was not the classic Battletoads hanging out with this Shovel Knight? Surely that wasn't Kratos, the God of War, chilling out with the blue armored titan of men? It was at this point that Justin spotted one Sean Velasco, setting up an interview with the gentleman of Yacht Club Games. One thing led to another, and Constantly Calibrating got on their media list and even received review codes for Shovel Knight. That started Josh's journey towards booking Yacht Club Games for a podcast appearance. An attempt was made, but they were finishing the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 releases of Shovel Knight. Another attempt was made, but they were busy developing Plague of Shadows. Finally, at the start of 2017 a third attempt was made, despite the team working towards the release of Specter of Torment. Which is why we're here! So join Josh & Justin as they chat with Sean Velasco and Woz of Yacht Club Games about the past, present, and future of Shovel Knight. Perhaps even some discussions about what they may do outside of our favored knight. As always, comments and feedback makes us gassy is appreciated.
