Yacht Club shares a behind-the-scenes look at how they created Shovel Knight: King of Card's Joustus mini-game

Shovel Knight: King of Cards packed in a ton of fun on the base game, and that includes the Joustus mini-game. This card battler was a completely different experience from anything else in Shovel Knight, which means it took a lot of time to prototype. The team worked on numerous iterations of the idea, and even tested things out with a rudimentary physical version. You can see how the entire design process went down in a Yacht Club dev blog here.
