Shovel Knight
One of the successful Kickstarter game Shovel Knights' stretch goals was the addition of playable boss characters. Developer Yacht Club Games is getting ready to open the polls to let players vote on which bosses should be playable.
There are 10 Mega Man-style bosses to choose from which you can see in the gallery below. Only three of the bosses will make the cut, but they will be playable, and get their own stories. Backers will be able to start voting on October 4. For the next two weeks, Yacht Club is asking everyone to make their case for who they would like to see playable with art, writing, poetry, animation – whatever you want.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
