Amanat pentru o perioada scurta, nu au dat o data noua de lansare: Delay Extravaganza II: The Tail Continues.

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. This isn’t a major delay, it’s just a stretch of time to apply some final polish and balancing to make the game truly shine.

Creator of Hit Game Shovel Knight Is at a ‘Make or Break’ Moment

Yacht Club, a privately owned studio best known for 2014’s hit game Shovel Knight, is facing an existential struggle. The company has churned through most of its capital, forcing it to downsize and put a planned second project on hold so everyone can focus on Mina the Hollower. The delay will be rough on the studio, whose 15 employees are thoroughly burned out, and it will squeeze Yacht Club’s finances even further. But most of the team agrees the move is necessary to maximize the game’s chances of finding an audience. To remain independent, the company needs Mina the Hollower to be a hit. “It’s make-or-break for sure,” says Velasco, Yacht Club’s co-founder and studio head. “If we sold 500,000 copies, then we would be golden. If we sold even 200,000, that would be really, really great. If we sold, like, 100,000, that’s not so good.”

Shovel Knight a vandut minim 2.5 milioane, deci 200K ar trebui sa fie usor pentru Mina the Hollower.

Mina the Hollower - Out Now!

[sexbobomb91]

Dupa 10 ore tot ce pot sa spun e ca e incredibil de bun jocul. Sunt sigur ca multe dintre ideile pe care le-au implementat aici le vom gasi si in alte jocuri de-acum incolo. Dintre toate soulslike-urile care le-am jucat pana acum, acesta mi se pare cel mai bine gandit - intamplator am ajuns intr-o zona mai dificila unde nu aveam ce sa caut in primele ore din joc dar folosind 2 abilitati deblocate dintr-o alta zona am reusit sa parcurg nivelul si sa inving boss-ul fara mari probleme.
Nu lasati sa va pacaleasca grafica 8-Bit, jocul e imens, complex, plin de secrete si idei interesante si pentru a-l completa 100% poate dura 130 de ore . Povestea si atmosfera jocului iarasi sunt surprinzatoare, nu vreau sa dau spoilere dar si acestea sunt mai interesante decat par la inceput .

The best-rated game of 2026 is $20 because the devs "don't want people to wait" for a discount: "We only get one chance at this"

Yacht Club Games director and co-founder Sean Velasco says he hoped making Mina $20 would boost its appeal like this, since Yacht Club couldn't waste any time in convincing people to play its gothic adventure.
...
The director adds, "We don't want people to wait" for a discount, since "we only get one chance at this" – making a good impression and turning a profit.
"If we don't sell a million copies, I'm going to be disappointed," Velasco adds.
Mina the Hollower might still be miles away from reaching this magic number prancing behind Velasco's eyelids – though he says the game sold 55,000 copies on Steam in a day, which is still huge. But I wouldn't be surprised if word-of-mouth gets it there eventually.

Pacat ca pe Steam nu se vinde foarte bine, cel putin pe Switch 2 pare sa se vanda bine pentru ca e #1 Best-Seller.

Indie Video Game ‘Mina the Hollower’ Sells 300,000 Copies in Three Days - Bloomberg

Mina the Hollower, the highest-rated video game of 2026 so far, sold 300,000 copies in its first three days on the market, according to developer Yacht Club Games.
Sean Velasco, studio co-founder and director, told Bloomberg on Tuesday that he’s thrilled with the critical reception for the new title, which came out on May 29. He said the strong sales mean that Yacht Club can keep operating without making cuts or taking outside investment, at least for now.
While the initial sales results for the throwback action-platformer game are impressive, Velasco said he was hoping the figure would be even higher.
“I wonder how come the best-reviewed game of 2026 is not the fastest-selling game, so I feel a big fire lit to close that gap,” he wrote via text message.

Bravo lor, sper sa se vanda si mai bine pe parcursul anului.
Daca va intereseaza jocul cumparati-l linistiti, va garantez ca nu va dezamagi.

Dupa 10 ore tot ce pot sa spun e ca e incredibil de bun jocul.

Eu cred ca am jucat vreo ora, dar...ma asteptam la altceva. Stilul grafic mi se pare ingrozitor - efectiv nu-mi dau seama pe unde trebuie sa o iau, pe unde pot si nu pot - ma tot lovesc de pereti sau cad in gauri, sau ma lovesc de pamant sau bolovan sub care nu poti sa trec - absolut ingrozitor sincer.
Inteleg ca e imens si complex, dar nu e intuitiv si nu te ajuta deloc reprezentarea grafica. Puteau face asa ceva si text only, ca in anii 80 si avea acelasi impact...

Iar pe partea de combat, inteleg ca vor ei influente de x si de y, dar nu-i ajuta schema de control - cum sa fie asa greu si, cel putin la inceput (nu stiu cum e mai incolo), sa nu ai block sau dodge sau ceva de genu? Sau poate ca nu fac eu ce trebuie?

[sexbobomb91]

Pixel art-ul e intentionat facut cat mai limitat ca sa semene cu ceva ce ar putea rula pe primul GameBoy. Jucasem demo-ul anul trecut si poate de aceea m-am obisnuit mai repede cu el, dar nu tin minte sa fi fost momente cand nu puteam percepe pe unde pot trece sau nu. Poate ajuta si faptul ca joc pe Switch 2 si nu pe ecran mare.
Un fel de dodge e abilitatea de burrow, doar ca trebuie sa anticipezi atacurile si sa o faci cam cu o secunda inainte. In combat ajuta mult sa folosesti sidearms, unele sunt chiar OP. Si cel mai bun lucru e sa analizezi inamici si sa le anticipezi atacurile - lucrul asta e mai usor de facut cu Whisper and Vesper (twin daggers).

[razvanrazy]

Deci burrow este dodge, doar ca nu merge pe orice suprafata...

Cat de sidearms, daca mori, le pierzi...

Eu il joc pe Steam Deck, deci tot pe ecran mic.

[sexbobomb91]

Da, e enervant ca le pierzi cand mori dar mai incolo vei primi un upgrade care-ti salveaza ultima arma folosita in Underlab.
Si dupa ce inveti mai bine zonele o sa vezi unde sunt item-uri care te lasa sa alegi sidearmul pe care vrei sa-l folosesti. Sidearms sunt folosite si pentru explorare, nu doar combat.

Mina the Hollower has sold 500,000 copies! 🐭🕯️
