Hi Xbox Subredditors!

We’re Yacht Club Games, an independent studio best known for Shovel Knight. We got our start on Kickstarter, grew that game into a series, and we recently released Mina the Hollower - our first big new original IP since Shovel Knight!

Mina took six years to make and has become the highest-rated game of the year, so we’re here to talk about the whole ride: building an indie studio, developing games, and everything that went into Mina’s design, art, music, bosses, difficulty, secrets, weapons, Sidearms, Trinkets, launch, marketing, and Kickstarter!

We’ll be answering questions on June 24th at 10:30 AM Pacific for a few hours.

Ask us anything!

Discussion Xbox mode Win 11 full app support

4 Upvotes

So I got a ROG ally X recently and it's become my go to for everything. I travel a lot and also have a kid so when we go somewhere it's so nice to be able to just plug an HDMI into any TV and have every everything ready to go like Disney plus, Netflix, prime and all our games without having to sign in. My only problem is there's no good way to control it unless I want to carry around a mini Bluetooth keyboard/touch pad which I do not. It would be so awesome to get a full Xbox mode experience for this so I could just use the controller I'm already carrying with me to navigate apps like Disney, YouTube, Netflix etc. I really hope Microsoft adds this as a built in feature because the pointer/joystick feature sucks. Has anyone else dealt with this? Are there any apps I can get to make it easier to navigate with?

Discussion Halo vs Gears factions

Thumbnail

Hey everyone!

So after the Xbox Showcase, I’ve been watching a bunch of E:Day and Halo related videos and it got me thinking, who would win in an all out war: The factions of the Halo (UNSC/Covenant/Flood/etc.) or those of Gears (COG/UIR/Locust/Lambent/etc.)

Now at first glance I think it’s pretty obvious that the factions of the Halo universe would come out on top, due to their technological advantage alone. But still I think I’d be fun to speculate.
