A portion of a CheerfulGhost interview with Yacht Club's Sean Velasco...

CG: How has Shovel Knight development process been moving along?

Sean Velasco: During the Kickstarter, things slowed down a lot as we were inundated with questions, updates, and media requests. We are now starting to get back into the swing of things, but we have lots of groundwork to do now: accounting, office space, businessey type stuff. We're hoping that in the next couple of weeks we can get back into full development, because that's what we love doing the most!

CG: Does the game story explain the relationship between the Shovel Knight and the Enchantress?

Sean Velasco: Yes, the story will explain the relationships of all the characters, including the mysterious Enchantress! We aren't ready to talk too much about the story, but just know that we're planning on something a bit more emotionally complex than your typical "save the princess" game story.
