Yacht Club details the process of creating Shovel Knight's Tinker Knight
Tinker Knight is def one of the most unique bosses in Shovel Knight. Ever wonder what went into creating the whole experience? In today's snippet from the Shovel Knight book from Boss Fight Books, we get the juicy details!
Tinker Knight is at once the most diminutive and gargantuan associate of the Order of No Quarter, and along with the Enchantress, one of the two most cinematic.
Yacht Club Games co-founder and programmer David D'Angelo gave Kickstarter backers another inside look at Tinker Knight, mechanical master of Clockwork Tower. "I actually programmed that boss live on Twitch," he said. A streaming service engineered for games, Twitch lets players broadcast themselves playing their favorite titles or watching others play, chatting with viewers as they go along. In planning Shovel Knight's Kickstarter, the team hit on a way to subvert Twitch: Invite backers to watch them design parts of their game, even accepting suggestions.
