## Summary

Yacht Club Games says Mina the Hollower’s sales have given the studio financial stability “for now”, after the game was described as a make-or-break release. The result has allowed most of the team to move on to a new 3D game, though the studio has not confirmed whether it is a Shovel Knight title.

Mina sold more than 500,000 copies in its first two weeks, putting it on course towards the developers’ earlier goal of one million. Yacht Club is also planning post-launch additions, including expanded randomiser options, enemy and boss randomisation, modifiers and speedrunner features. Co-founder Nick Wozniak said the studio learned that keeping the team focused on one game helped Mina succeed.
