Dissecting Design: Shovel Knight's Modern Retro Design

In this week's dissecting design, I took a look at Shovel Knight and how it merged old and modern design into something amazing.

For this week's dissecting design, I'm taking a look at Yacht Club Games' Shovel Knight. One of the most successful games off of Kickstarter, Shovel Knight's design was a great combination of old school with modern elements. For this video, I also took a look at their first expansion campaign and what it will mean going forward from the company.
