Was working more on my texture pack today
I messed it up so badly and I'm too lazy to fix anything
Considering how far we’ve come in terms of what we can fit into an NES cartridge compared to the 80’s/90’s, is it possible that someone could make a ROM that basically has the soundtracks for Shovel Knight Treasure Trove (Shovel, Plague, Specter, King, Showdown and MAYBE Kratos & Battletoads Boss Fights) that can be played like in the actual game itself, but fit into an NES cartridge? I feel like that it would make for a great way to fill out these boxes, which usually only contain an instruction manual.
A Magitech automaton of unknown origin, now controlled by the Enchantress' dark power. Cold and calculating, it will exterminate any intruders with its built-in blasters and extendable Robo-Claws. Tinker Knight desperately wants to get his hands on Robo Knight to take it apart and see how it works, but has been unsuccessful in doing so.
Pre-fight Dialogue:
Robo: INTRUDER DETECTED. IDENTIFYING TARGET.
TARGET IDENTIFIED: SHOVEL KNIGHT.
Shovel: Stand aside, machine. I must get to the Tower, and I do not wish to dismantle an impressive creation like yourself.
Robo: REQUEST DENIED. EXPLANATION: YOU DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PERMISSIONS TO COMMAND ME.
DIRECTIVE: PROTECT THE ENCHANTRESS. IF YOU DO NOT TURN BACK, THEN I SHALL HAVE TO USE FORCE.
Shovel: Then you leave me no choice. I have to get to her, no matter the cost.
You have been corrupted by her magic, so it's fruitless to reason with you any longer. If I must turn you into scrap first, so be it!
Robo: THREAT LEVEL: HIGH. NEW DIRECTIVE: ELIMINATE SHOVEL KNIGHT.
READY YOURSELF, INTRUDER.
I want to play this game using my arcade stick on MacOS. When I plug in, Steam recognizes it as a Dualshock 4 Controller and I can control the Steam UI with my stick. Shovel Knight however does not recognize it at all. Does anyone know how I can get the game to recognize my arcade stick?
No spoilers please
Hey I played the main campaign before but I don't remember the complete story and don't wanna play it again now.
I'm coming up with ideas for a Shobel Knight chess set. The White pieces are Shovel Knight and his allies, while the Black pieces are the Order. Any ideas for pieces? The more variety, the better.
I'm pretty bad at art
I think that shovel knight dig should have an update including new areas with different bosses like king knight or plague knight

Is there a way to get her to show up, or am I just completely unable to scan my Amiibo. She appears in the standalone release for King of Cards, so why should Specter of Torment be any different?
The unconventional gameplay of constantly jumping, while dodging attacks from every direction and also keeping an eye out for secrets! All of that with only 4 HP?! Please tell me there is gonna be HP upgrades. After an hour it has already become easier, because I got used to the controls and the flow. But I still barely make it past Mushroom Mines. Many rogue likes get considerably easier so getting through the first couple stages in a run is often a breeze. Is it the same with Shovel Knight Dig?
Interesting gameplay twists and skill upgrades motivate me a lot in many games. Does this one also do this? Without spoilering specifics. So far I've seen the items at Hoofman and Chester.
A Wintry Paradise (Specter of Torment) is my favourite!
