The Making Of Mina The Hollower | Video Game Documentary

Earlier this year, I flew to Los Angeles to learn about the making of Mina The Hollower, Yacht Club Games’ new Game Boy Color-inspired follow-up to its wildly popular series, Shovel Knight. But Mina The Hollower was never meant to be the studio’s next game. This was Alec Faulkner’s side project at Yacht Club Games, and it wasn’t known to anyone else.

After raising over $1.2M on Kickstarter in February, I wanted to learn more about Alec’s journey from intern to game director, how he pitched his “Gothic Prototype” to the Yacht Club, and ultimately, how the team rallied behind him in hopes of delivering another series as prolific as Shovel Knight. Below is the 36 minute documentary that covers Mina The Hollower’s creation.
