<p>Earlier this year, Yacht Club games revealed it would be moving on from <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu/shovel_knight">Shovel Knight</a></strong>‘s original outing after six years of development. Although the company hasn’t made any official announcements yet, at least one project in the pipeline seems to be 3D.</p>
<p>Gamasutra’s Job Board has issued a reminder of this – advertising a position for a mid-senior gameplay programmer at Yacht Club Games.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Yacht Club Games is working on a new 3D project and is building out our 3D team (and custom engine) to complement our existing 2D team. We are on the lookout to hire a capable mid to senior level gameplay programmer with a desire to build great gameplay experiences in a small, team-centered environment!</p>

<p>This <a class="external" href="https://app.trinethire.com/companies/14936-yacht-club-games-llc/jobs/21287-mid-senior-gameplay-programmer">same job listing</a> originally appeared on the Yacht Club Games’ website at the end of last year (thanks, <a class="external" href="https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/yacht-club-games-is-on-a-hiring-spree-including-for-3d-development/">Nintendo Enthusiast</a>). Notably, Yacht Club is “building out” its 3D team and “custom engine” to help complement its existing 2D team.</p>
<p>In February of this year, director Sean Velasco said the team had begun internal development on two new projects – and teased a brand new IP that was sure to interest fans of Shovel Knight. Prior to this, in an interview with <a class="external" href="https://venturebeat.com/2019/12/06/shovel-knight-director-sean-velasco-digs-into-yacht-club-games-past-and-future/">GamesBeat</a>, Velasco said a 3D game was the next “logical step” for Yacht Club.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“We love 3D action games. We want to make a big 3D game at some point. But in order to make a big 3D game, I think first you have to make a small 3D game. Or just something that’s smaller, some kind of in-between.”</p>
