Nach klassischen 2D-Plattformern wie Shovel Knight oder dem kommenden Cyber Shadow plant Yacht Club Games derzeit ein 3D-Projekt: Das berichtet das Magazin Gamespot, welches auf Gamasutra.com auf eine entsprechende Stellenanzeige gestoßen ist.

Dort sucht das Studio nach einem „Mid to Senior Gameplay Programmer“ – und zwar explizit für ein „neues 3D-Projekt“, für das ein 3D-Team sowie eine neue Engine aufgebaut werden soll. Das 2D-Team arbeitet derweil z.B. zusammen mit Entwickler Nitrome an Shovel Knight: Dig.
