Yacht Club Games
Indie Dev Zone in Marina del Rey, California
Type: Indie Publisher
Founded 2011 in Marina del Rey by ex-WayForward director Sean Velasco. Creators and publishers of Shovel Knight (2014) and its expansions, plus the upcoming Mina the Hollower. Based in Marina del Rey, California. Indie publishers fund, market, and ship games for outside developers - smaller scale than Activision or EA, with curatorial tastes (Annapurna's art games, Devolver's edgy action, tinyBuild's variety). Their portfolios drive a lot of indie discovery. Check yachtclubgames.com for their game catalog, current projects, and hiring info.
