Shovel Knight has been one of the big hit games of the summer and a favorite around both the Shacknews offices and across Chatty. So with that in mind, the Shacknews video crew of Sam Leichtamer, Andrew Zucosky, and Joe Tirado take a moment to speak to Yacht Club Games' Nick Wozniak about their debut game, its creation, its development from a Kickstarter project to a full-blown product, what's coming in terms of future content, and much more.

And of course, they also make sure to throw in some questions from Shacknews' beloved Chatty community, as well. You can catch a slice of the interview below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

        lies and slander! i mostly watch their videos though, and not the "news" (stuff like steam controller, new trailer for CoD, or how many people watched dota2 stream). Love their opinion articles though and things like the TF2 timeline

      This is quality stuff and it's a shame it only has 25 views so far. I am disappointed shack.

        Gotta start somewhere. As long as we produce quality stuff like this and have a good, grounded community to help spread the word, the channel will eventually pick up traction.

        They might want to trim the length for people that don't have the time for a half-hour interview. Offer the full interview as an option.
