That being said, Yacht Club expected to make DLC campaigns but they didn’t know which characters to use… so they asked the fans. If you want a fuller story of Yacht Club Games and the creation of Shovel Knight then check out the Shovel Knight Review. The real question though, is what he means to do with the mighty concoction once it’s made. With the Ultimate Potion nearly within his grasp you take control of the masked maniac himself, Plague Knight, as he journeys across the land to defeat his so called ‘comrades’. Unfortunately he’s missing nine vital ingredients, which happen to be nothing less than a portion of each of the essences of the other knights in the Order, the Enchantress, and Shovel Knight himself - that’s right, this game takes place during his adventure. With it, anything could be his - and I do mean anything. The eccentric alchemist, Plague Knight, has hatched a scheme to create the Ultimate Potion. The Order of No Quarter isn’t exactly as united as we were lead to believe in the events of Shovel Knight.
most of the book consisted of very stiff people moving up or down while keeping the exact same pose, which is (one of!) the reasons why there wasn't more animation in this game.Heads up, this review assumes that you’ve read my previous review about Shovel Knight so click here to check that out. the visual style of the book was also a big impact a lot of gary panters work is based on the strangeness and grotesqueness of uh popculture characters.
the use of quotation and reference was something i thought was weirdly fitting for an RPG Maker game too with all the focus on rips etc, and proved to me that even when you were doing that stuff you didn't have to be tedious and dogmatic about it if you pushed it far enough then it could become kaleidoscopic and exciting again, sort of like sampling in hiphop. It's very funny and deeply bizarre and weirdly moving, and a lot of the mood in space funeral was very influenced by the strange rhythms and sense of discovery and unexpected linkage of this excellent book. It's structured around Dante's Divine Comedy but what it's really about is the idea that there's this continuous dialogue going on through centuries of writing people responding to or fighting against or quoting or misquoting or parodying each other in a lineage that goes from dante to boccaccio to chaucer and right through to james joyce and ezra pound in this huge bawdy cacophonous argument stretching across centuries. alice cooper and the evil robot from westworld both show up to declaim lines pulled from boccaccio's "decameron" and the text is entirely composed of lines sampled from other works, ranging from beatles songs to medieval poems to finnegans wake to what sounds like an imdb review. it's basically this berserk mashup of the entire western literary canon into an apparantly crude comicbook filled with robots and cartoon dogs. In other news the gamejolt page for space funeral has 10000+ downloads! i dont even know so this blog isnt a complete waste i'm gonna talk a lil here about probably the biggest influence on this game, which was Gary Panter's "Jimbo In Purgatory" comic book.
