GLHF’s Game & Fortune Podcast: Episode 12 with Sandy Gordon

Losing all our Credibility with Sandy Gordon

GLHF / Sandy Gordon / Yacht Club Games

There are so many video games out there that sometimes you lose your footing and mix things up. No big deal, right? Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight – both are 2D platformers, totally the same thing. It only gets a little awkward when you’re talking to the mind behind one of these titles and speak to him about the wrong game in full confidence. In private, that could become a little joke to laugh about, so no problem. What’d be really embarrassing is doing that on a podcast.

Naturally, nothing of the sort happened when the GLHF crew talked to Sandy Gordon of Yacht Club Games – the pixel artist is responsible for Shovel Knight as well as Rivals of Aether and currently works on Mina the Hollower, another gorgeous pixel art adventure starring a mouse protagonist.

As usual, he faced the team in some fun video game trivia challenges to win the grandest prize of all – free exposure.
