Shovel Knight delayed, no new date set, new screens
AHOY Shovelers 'n Shovelettes! There be only a couple weeks until Shovel Knight’s release date a March 31. The crew at the Yacht Club be tired; we’ve been working literally every day, 'n every waking hour, t' make the game great. But! We’re just not quite there yet.
So, we hemmed 'n hawed, 'n made a Super Important Executive Decision. This update be t' let everyone know that Shovel Knight will be missing March 31 by a few weeks t' make sure it’s a world class experience, 'n can release on all platforms simultaneously. This isn’t a major delay, or a long one; it’s simply a stretch a time t' pillage everything polished 'n aligned. While major development be quickly drawing t' a close, there be still some external factors, like submission preparation, which need a little bit more breathing room before the game goes live.
We don’t want t' announce another release date until it be 100% locked in with both Nintendo 'n Steam, so please sit tight… we’ll announce a new, final release date very soon. But the game be like… so done! Here’s what we’re working on in our feverish final hours:
Dialogue 'n scripted events be being finalized
Finishing touches put on level design for the final levels
Overall game balancing
Platform specific standards so everything runs smoothly on yer system a choice!
Testing, testing, testing… on all platforms!
