# September's "Silk Song Boom" has quietly ended, but independent game developers are still trying to avoid the crowded October schedule - but this time, the delay of a certain game seems to have nothing to do with this dense release schedule.Yacht Club Games announced that the release of its new game "Mina the Hollower", a tribute to "Castlevania" and the Game Boy version of "The Legend of Zelda", will be delayed to complete additional development work (the delay is undetermined, but it does not seem to be too long).
"This week, our team made a difficult decision: we decided to postpone the release of Mina the Burrowing Rat," the developer said in the announcement, which was also cleverly titled - "Delayed Feast II: To Be Continued.""The entire team is working day and night to complete development and launch on October 31st, but we are not completely ready yet. This is not a major delay, it just takes some time to make final polishing and balance adjustments to make the game truly shine."
"We will not announce a new release date until the game is submitted for review on each platform, so please wait a moment as we are in the final stages of sprinting," Yacht Club Games said.In the announcement, the studio apologized to players, but also emphasized that "our commitment to quality will never waver."To this end, they are currently focusing on multiple tasks: "finalizing the design, art and sound effects content", "adjusting the overall game balance", "promoting localization implementation", and - er - "eating cheese".Well, at least the studio's sense of humor hasn't diminished one bit.
Yacht Club Games' most famous work is the "Shovel Knight" series, and "Mina the Burrowing Rat" is also a tribute to classic console games - but this game uses a top-down perspective action-adventure gameplay, and its visual style is highly similar to the Game Boy handheld classic "The Legend of Zelda: Dream Island" and other works.Combining "Castlevania"-style gothic horror elements and various secondary weapon designs, "Mina the Burrowing Rat" has been regarded as a potential sequel from the beginning.
"The game is almost complete," the developer said. "We're playing it from start to finish every day." Soon, we all will be able to do the same.
