It's so rare to find a good indie dev who not only makes a fun, compelling game, but releases FREE dlc with it. It's insane.
>>

Is there any benefit to playing this on Wii U? Or is any system fine?
>>
>>342875965
On the Wii U you can play co-op, but only if you have the Shovel Knight amiibo.
On the PS4 you get a bonus Kratos bossfight
>>
>>342875965
Nintendo gets a bunch of extra content if you have the amiibo.

Xbox gets a special boss fight in the form of Battletoads.

Sony gets cross play between PS platforms and Vita, as well as a bonus boss fight with Kratos.

PC gets trading cards and OST DLC that you can get at virt's bandcamp at higher quality for potentially free.

Oh wow how did I miss this? I kind of hope they stick with the SK stuff for a while, though a Mega Man type game would be fun too........*cough*
>>
>>342876585
How about a negative comment?

Propeller Knight is the only point where Plague of Shadows is difficult.
>>
>>342877629
Yeah thats a fair criticism. Part of the problem is that Plague Knight (and Shovel Knight in a lot of cases) have a focus on downward attacks and unfortunately in Propeller Knights fight he's right above you. Or maybe it was Plague's floaty mechanics?
>>
>>342877629
I had almost as much difficulty playing as Shovel Knight. People who say Propeller Knight's boss fight is the easiest confound me.
>>
>>342877601
As much as I like SK and the little world they've made with it, I think they should branch out slightly into new ideas before they do a sequel. It's not like SK is starving for content with the free DLC updates anyway, and I know I want to see what other ideas they've got instead of just pushing out endless Shovel Knight sequels.

Plague of Shadows is too much fun.

On the Wii U (or 3DS) you can manage your equipment on the second screen without having to pause your game. And it does wonders for the game, especially with the Plague Knight campaign.
Oh and the Wii U version also has custom Shovel Knight and co-op (if you have the amiibo).
>>
I just played Xeodrifter on my Vita, and it reminded me of Metroid. I like the relaxing OST it had. I'm aware that Shovel Knight is on the Vita as well, and I was wondering how that OST is. Also, is it a Metroid-like game as well? I've heard it's like that and Megaman.
>>
>>342879185
>And it does wonders for the game, especially with the Plague Knight campaign.

I can't imagine playing Plague Knight without that

it was already approaching being kind of tedious
>>
>>342875713
So is this content exclusive to PC or is it coming to consoles?
I just wanna know cuz I want to know what the superior platform is.
Wii U sounds pretty cool, but I doubt I'll ever co-op with anyone and it'd be more expensive overall.
I'm on the fence with PC cuz I'm looking to buy Shovel Knight.
Battletoads fight and Kratos boss seem cool, but not a lot content wise.

There's no way they'll top PoS with Specter or King Knight.

>>342879606
All content save for Battle Mode is coming to all consoles (handhelds will not receive the Battle Modes).

Last time, Plague was released on all platforms simultaneously, so it doesn't really matter, just go for the one you prefer.
>>
>>342879606
All DLC is coming free to all platforms. Only the amiibo content and Battletoads/Kratos content are exclusive.

>>342879339
OST is pretty great. It's much more linear than a Metroid game, it's definitely more Megaman.

The plus side of going with the 3DS (and I imagine the WiiU too) is the second screen just for relic selecting.
>>
I got this during the sale, and my controller (standard 360) seems to have a weird deadzone just in Shovel Knight. It feels as if the character has a slight delay to every movement, it's annoying as fuck.

I don't have that issue with other games, so it's not the hardware or software on my end.

When a sample of a video game community congregates to talk about a game they enjoyed you don't always need to get the pitchforks ready.

Tossing around words like "shill" so casually like that is what devoids them of any actual meaning down the line. Not that there's any hope left for "shill" to mean anything at this point, but for future reference please take it easy with the buzzwords.

The only thing keeping Shovel Knight from being an all time classic is that they keep adding new shit.

The technology to patch games or create DLC didn't exist back in the 80s and 90s but imagine if they started adding new "wacky!" shapes for Tetris or messed up some level balancing by adding new costumes in Mario 3.

They were great games and they let them speak for themselves instead of grubbing for more money and pushing their game into everyone's faces (game websites reporting on a new update, causing fatigue for people who have already beaten/enjoyed Shovel Knight)

I'm not saying it's a shitty game...I loved it and did everything I could in it. But holy fuck it's just getting bogged down and played out.

>>342894263
Unfortunately no. I was prepared to do all of that stuff when I had backed SK but since it never came through I just gave up. Should have done it anyway.

Not that there was much anyway to their designs, since I wanted to make something very neutral that would fit the artstyle of the game. Basically it was just going to be two, rather short, people wearing overly large robes so you could only see glowing eyes under their hoods. One had a spellbook and other had a gauntlet of sorts. That was the basic idea. Depending how they would have responded to them, I would have made them more unique or given them more details.

>>
>>342895289

MN9 got about 2.28 million from KS. But on top of that they likely got millions from a publisher too. The budget might be anywhere from 5-8 million in my estimation.
>>
I'm playing Shovel Knight for the first time, it's great, didn't expect that boss rush. I'm currently on the 2nd part of the Tower.
Which armor should I wear? I've been wearing the Silver one that grants you a charge swing after two pogo bounces, but is there a better option?
Also some general tips would be appreciated!
>>
>>342895869
The KS apparently raised approximately $3.8 million, according to its page.
Wasn't the original KS goal $900k? What happened to the rest of the budget?
>>
>>342895469
What was the deal with this character anyway? something about it having a shady development?
>>
>>342884169
His basic attack resembles Shovel's a bit more, but there's nuance to this too. For example, he can only attack upwards when an enemy is above him. That means tactically positioning yourself relative to enemies, not just boosting upwards whenever. Also, his lower jump height means wallrunning is going to be required to reach the same places.
>>
>>342897027
>The KS apparently raised approximately $3.8 million, according to its page.

They only got 60% of that, after KS's cut and taxes.

Ports ate up so much time and money. It was a terribly managed project.

If you wear the gold armor, King Knight gives you different feedback after the boss rush. But other than that, just wear whatever armor you like best.

I wonder how much effort they're going to put into this. Are they just going to slap pixel titties onto the old sprites? Or are they going to rework dialogue and fully rework the sprites?

Doesn't help answer why the original king had the Shovel Knight shaped door.

>>342906453
Well Shovel Knight was beloved across the land, right? I wouldn't call it far-fetched that he helped the king a lot sometime in the past so the king had his very own room installed in case he ever visits.

>>342906537
Okay so outside of your headcanon, why is there a Shovel Knight shaped door?

Makes sense as the relic was in there. Maybe like an emergency weapons room for Shovel Knight?

So is there an ETA for King Knight or anything else? Last time I checked there were one or tweets with King Knight footage but nothing else.

No ETAs but we know Specter Knight is coming before King Knight. They also said that the wait between Plague of Shadows and Specter Knight will be shorter than the wait between Shovel Knight and Plague of Shadows.

I'm worried nothing can possibly top Plague Knight.

I think it went unnoticed by many but a few months ago Jake Kaufman (who did the shovel knight OST) put out a bonus remix ost for crypt of the necrodancer, its really good

Kaufman's soundtrack really is the best version, and I hope he's planning on making alternate tracks for the upcoming DLC zone.

I'd prefer the other characters get their own bosses and cutscenes personally

DannyB posted a short 3-second clip of a WiP so yeah another zone is confirmed. There'll probably be more though because one zone wouldn't be very much so I'd wait and see what they've got in store.

>>
>>342927039
Making them.
>>
>>342927039
The extra campaigns are essentially entirely new games.
While there are reused assets, the differences between Shovel Knight and Plague Knight are staggering.
>>
>>342928287
would you say it's worth the weight (lol @ my memeage) then ?
>>
Holy fuck! a Shovel Knight Conversation reached over 200 messages? Jesus.
>>
>>342928419
Yeah. I'd say so. The idea of yearly Shovel Knight games is pretty neat.
I played Shovel Knight and then when Plague Knight had finally arrived it had been long enough for a Shovel Knight re-play to feel worthwhile yet not too long ago for the game to feel ancient.
So I got Plague Knight but before I started Plague Knight I re-played Shovel Knight first and it was great fun. And then Plague Knight itself exceeded my expectations.

Fast forward to now, and Plague Knight was already some time ago. Not too long ago but still long ago enough for it to probably feel pleasant to re-play it.
So whenever the next campaign comes later this year I'll probably re-play Shovel Knight, and then re-play Plague Knight, and then finally start the new campaign. And I'll likely love it.

So yeah. I'd say that they're paced pretty well. Shovel Knight was released in 2014. Plague Knight in 2015. And now we're getting another in 2016. It works. I am down for getting back into Shovel Knight yearly.

So was Mona originally going to be part of Specter Knight's story? In the credits for the original Shovel Knight mode she's hanging out with Specter Knight, and never gives any indication that she's at all connected to Plague Knight.

Except for the fact that she throws vials, I guess.
