Give him horns that are not on the opposite ends of the horn thickness spectrum

should hornet be able to half sword her needle which allows her to do damage against armored enemies

like a cannon in Clash of Clans

Of the slash?

So it can pierce

#

half swording is the process of holding the bladed edge of your sword to give you more control

wary imp
#

Oh
I'm a bit stupid

cerulean sable

then from there you use that control to stab armor gaps

I want to play the silksong that Ttacco has made up in his head

depends on mission

twin bough
surreal remnant
#

there’s several mission types, each with very different gameplay styles

jagged bolt
#

so is the gameplay just repeating missions over and over

surreal remnant
#

not really

#

there’s plenty of modifiers to mix stuff up, along with vastly varying maps

#

plus just using a different character sometimes means changing your entire strat

jagged bolt
#

so the gameplay is playing missions?

#

that's what it sounds like

surreal remnant
#

AND DRINKING STOUT!

#

and annoying the everloving shit out of mission control by kicking barrels into the launch bay

jagged bolt
#

I mean I know there's other stuff I just want to get an idea of the gameplay loop

#

like you hop on with your friends to play a mission or smth

surreal remnant
#

yeah the main gameplay loop is play mission for money and ore

jagged bolt
#

ic

surreal remnant
#

use money and ore for upgrades and cosmetics

repeat

#

and an unhealthy mix of stout

no idea what stout is

ok i can feel the crash coming

so i was watching an interview with dwarf fortress Devs

#

and they started talking about steam wishlists

pallid jolt
#

is skliskong gout

obtuse hemlock
#

Yes

pallid jolt
#

yay

cerulean sable
#

and one thing i remember noticing was that Dwarf Fortress only got around 100k wishlist by that time

#

so im gonna trust the devs more than the metric here, can we assume Silksong has more than 250k wishlists on steam?

#

this is the current metric

obtuse spire
hollow terrace
#

SILKSONG SWEEP

#

SILKILLON WISHLISTS WOOO

serene chasm
#

follows dont mean shit

twin bough
cerulean sable
#

i was thinking like, followers != metric of how much people wishlisted your game no?

#

im guessing wishlists arent public to the API

#

and is more on the following tab?

flat remnant
#

Just fought a bridget online, they were spamming in rage when i got them the first match 💀

opaque sigil
pallid jolt
#

wait the follow button is a thing

cerulean sable
#

yeah yeah most likely its not 1:1

#

because Tarn Adams in the Dwarf Fortress interview said they reached 1 mil wishlists prior to launching

#

but the metric sites only listed it as 100-150k

serene chasm
#

what rank were they?

cerulean sable
#

they reached around rank 5 iirc

#

i dont remember the highest

serene chasm
#

around when did DF come out?

cerulean sable
#

theyre no longer on the wishlist ranking now because theyve released

#

around Nov-Dec last year

#

actually i dont think he said prior to releasing

#

he just said they had 1mil that they use as a sofr indicator of their game's health/popularity

#

that being said i doubt something like DF will go higher than Starfield

#

and even Starfield only has 300k followers on the list

serene chasm
#

If thats the case we can assume SS is easily over a million wishlists

flat remnant
#

(Sorry for the bad quality)
i (green may) beat someone so badly they ragequit 💀

wary imp
#

Damn cat

#

You didn't have to do them that dirty

cerulean sable
#

discussing here as well
really hoping (well since HK has it anyway, highly likely) they have an option to reduce the blur

#

because seeing those huge structures kinda like Junk Pit is a fucking cool sight in HK

storm abyss
#

Well the problem is a lot of that background stuff has its resolution reduced, if its behind the blur it doesn't matter as much what the resolution is

#

So unblurring might not actually be an improvement

cerulean sable
#

like the walls to the right is reminding me of those Citadel Walls from Half Life 2

cerulean sable
#

theyre already low res to take up less space

#

but compared to HK tho i think Silksong's blurring is way more aggressive

#

and iirc we do have screenshots where the blurring isnt that strong

flat remnant
#

Credit to them they got damage in but they didn't have to ragequit come on

cerulean sable
#

we just dont know whether that was before or after the Xbox trailer

wary imp
#

Although I wouldn't really know since I've never played that

cerulean sable
#

left side is the PlayStation screenshots i think

#

right side is the Xbox trailer

#

no wait its not from PlayStation, i dont remember where we got the left one

storm abyss
#

I think you have that backwards, since the XBOX trailer came first

cerulean sable
#

but youll notice theres more details like an extra pillar on the background

flat remnant
lusty horizon
#

(The demo you secretly played, surely)

cerulean sable
#

yeah yeah Xbox came first

#

true

flat remnant
#

I got lucky because that guy was literally level 5 vs my level 18

#

in the grand scheme of things it's not really that high

cerulean sable
#

Steam Page (2019) vs Playstation (2022)

storm abyss
#

Don't get me wrong I do think the blur is a bit too aggressive in the screenshots, I think somewhere in the middle of those two would be a fair balance between game performance and actually being able to see the background

cerulean sable
#

ok now im confused, where did i get that Far Fields screenshot on the left

#

oh yeah defo

serene chasm
#

Just dont release on switch

wary imp
#

If they have the same background blur as they did on hk it should be fine

cerulean sable
#

i have no arguement against them using blur because 1. it hides the technical stuff like lower bg resolution 2. it does add some sort of way to increase visibility to Hornet

but yeah it is WAY too aggressive compared to the older screenshots and i hope they actually tone it down a bit

wary imp
#

I just hope there's a slider for the blur

storm abyss
#

In the past year and a bit we've had the Xbox trailer, which had some screenshots, and the playstation announcement which also had screenshots, I believe it was the playstation screenshots where people noticed the blur change

serene chasm
#

The blur is hornet being drunk

storm abyss
#

You know what I'll just check that Mossbag video where he talks about ti

cerulean sable
#

yeah theres "blur quality" in HK that you can set at low med and high

but afaik i just put it on low because you actually get sharper backgrounds

#

yeah yeah can you post that mossbag vid

#

i remember him covering it

#

i just dont remember which video

wary imp

# cerulean sable i just dont remember which video

Catching up on some Silksong news we got back in September and October. We got six screenshots from PlayStation and some screenshot descriptions from Xbox. Also, I wanted to ramble about some random stuff. Enjoy!

#

It was the Playstation screenshots with the changed blur BTW

#

Also looking at it theres just less in the scene

cerulean sable
#

yeah yeah it was

#

honestly the biggest one is the Lace Arena

#

i do get blurring the one for this one tho

#

like it gives it a depth effect

#

just think it could be a little less aggressive

high hedge
#

I hope they blur the backgrounds more for full release

#

I still don’t think they have enough

cerulean sable
#

they got rid of the strings too which im guessing they have other plans for it now

Well the other ones also have less set dressing, like look at the far field ones the pics from the Xbox screenshots just has more stuff in it

#

Yeah the Far Fields one is the one i noticed

hollow terrace
#

WHERES THE SILKSONG VERSION WITH THR CUT CONTENT EDITIONS

cerulean sable
#

It has extra pillars in the BG and has less? blurring

#

iirc i had some sort of speculation that the Xbox stuff is actually older footage because its missing some background elements

#

whereas the newer Far Fields screenshot is their next iteration

runic badge
storm abyss
#

The problem with that is the Xbox one is the one with more stuff in it Nevermind I got them backwards

cerulean sable
#

i will miss the orange bell beast scene BUT i do prefer the toned down ant mech because the vibrancy looks way better vs to just filtering it with orange

#

though some might disagree

#

is it?

#

its been a while so im kinda mixing up stuff at this point

hollow terrace
cerulean sable
#

unironically possible

runic badge
hollow terrace
#

Like the hue/filter y’know

#

Extra points if it actually changes the elements within loading screen

serene chasm
#

The background is different so that is possible

cerulean sable
#

ok i kinda remember now

#

the screenshot and footage is both on Xbox

#

but the screenshots provided in the xbox page is a lot more detailed than the one in the trailer

#

with a lot less blur too

flat remnant
#

Y'ALL

rustic ore
serene chasm
#

They should update the steam screenshots

cerulean sable
#

which is why we speculated the footage is from an older build but the screenshots are not

runic badge
#

i can’t believe we’re actually discussing silksong in silksong discussion

flat remnant
#

I JUST BEAT A BAIKEN ON A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL

#

THAT WAS EXHILERATING

storm abyss
#

Hmm looking at the far fields one I get the impression that the background is more blurred but the mid and foreground have more stuff in them, the blur is more noticeable in the other screenshots since they are more open spaces that don't really have midground elements

cerulean sable
#

Xbox Trailer vs Xbox Presskit Screenshot

cerulean sable
#

what i see at least

#

but another angle is video compression

serene chasm
#

was about to ask

cloud yew
#

unrelated but i cant deal with how cute these guys are

runic badge
#

i see barely any difference

serene chasm
#

they are very cute

sinful flare
storm abyss
#

I'm not talking about the blur but the literal amount of stuff there is, like count how many vines there are in the trailer vs the screenshot

serene chasm
#

Also love these guys

cloud yew
#

same im obsessed w them

cerulean sable
#

ahhh ok misread that

#

yeah thats actual fair

#

could be that the blur is the same but theres just more foreground stuff to compensate

#

which makes it look like the blur is less

frigid basin
cerulean sable
#

yeah

#

we sure now that the screenshots are on a more updated build yeah?

#

the question is how long was the gap inbetween that trailer vs the screenshot

storm abyss
#

I'd guess it mainly depends on how much lead Xbox wants for game trailers it includes in their showcases, even if its only a couple weeks that would give a fair bit of time for development

#

Plus adding all that is probably just a case of adding more sprites that they already have, which I have to imagine is much faster then if they were making new art

cerulean sable
#

yup yup

#

so best theory is

#

they prepared the trailer beforehand

#

then in the meanwhile of waiting they did their own shit like refine stuff, the usual

#

then just used that footage + the current build screenshots for the xbox page

#

i mean im saying this is a theory as if its not a standard thing devs do but i dont wanna assume stuff as 100%

#

also that pillar on the far fields screenshot, its the same one on the trailer no? they just moved it forward past the blur axis

#

i actually dont remember if HK has an entire axis for blurring, or if they manually do it, or if they automatically do it based on distance

serene chasm
#

Lets discuss the pillars

storm abyss
#

The Mossbag video discuses HK blur its a layer things are either in front of or behind

serene chasm
cerulean sable
#

i dont see the pillar on the 5th image

serene chasm
#

standing on it. Really that one is a stretch

cerulean sable
#

honestly i dont mind this reusing

#

1 it saves time and noone is gonna notice

serene chasm
#

I noticed

cerulean sable
#

2 architecturally theyre gonna be similar all across pharloom

serene chasm
#

and now Im theorizing what they mean

cerulean sable
#

i mean most people arent gonna notice similar looking art for their regular playthroughs

serene chasm
#

The Citadel is falling without the weavers and they needed a way to keep it up. Pillars was one of the ways they tried

cerulean sable
#

the biggest obvious indicator are these

serene chasm
#

Also the chains

cerulean sable
#

kinda like you can see whats supporting everything from below

#

isnt floating chain island a trope

serene chasm
#

The Citadel over Pharloom

wary imp
storm abyss
#

Ill be honest I just went thats what rock looks like in Pharloom

serene chasm
#

Speaking of chained floating island

cerulean sable
#

oh yeah that screenshot

#

wasnt there some in moss grotto too?

foggy heath
cerulean sable
#

yeah its speculated thats the equivalent of the soul restriction for dying

#

from the looks of it, its not gonna reduce your total spool?

#

or maybe its story related

#

we dont know

coarse leaf
#

when silksong come out

storm abyss
#

Well, I presume that the spool can be expanded so its possible that its a larger spool thats been shorted by dying

violet path
coarse leaf
#

what

cerulean sable
coarse leaf
cerulean sable
#

the one with a broken spool has 6 masks

cloud yew
coarse leaf
#

oh ok

#

i was boutta say

cerulean sable
#

my dude if it was out wed all be gone from this server to avoid spoiler, not speculating every single thing 😔

#

actually wait

coarse leaf
#

fr

cerulean sable
#

the entire thing regarding the spool reduction

coarse leaf
#

the moment silksong comes out im locking my phone in a basement

cloud yew
#

hopefully not too much longer 😞😞😞😞

cerulean sable
#

wouldnt it be against the current setup of HK's "use all soul to heal"

#

but then again the extended spool will have a notch on the bar to indicate where and when you can heal

#

so what if the penalty for dying gets worst as you get more upgrades, rather than putting you from 99 soul to 66, what if SS just makes it so you lose out on your upgrades, so to figuratively say

#

ie if you die in HK, you just lose out on all your extra soul vessels vs to getting handicapped from your base soul amount

#

until you get your shade/cocoon back

storm abyss
#

That would be my guess, although that itself does ask the question of what happens if you die before you get any upgrades

cerulean sable
#

yeah

#

this is just speculation but what if theres not much punishment early on except for losing your rosary in your cocoon type of shtick the shade system was

coarse leaf
#

what if hornet is the radiance 🔥🔥🔥

cerulean sable
#

but this just opens up another discussion with how a lot of people has critcized and argued that the death mechanic in Hollow Knight only served as a punishment to exploration

#

the arguement being that usually in other games, if you die you just go to another route, which is something a metroidvania as open as HK should incentivize

#

the issue is in HK if you die, youre basically "lured" to go back and retrieve your lost resources forcing you back to the same spot thus potentially repeating the same cycle of you just bumping your head on the same boss because (im here anyway), psychologically speaking

dusk wharf
#

Oh my god so many text

#

i see how ppl would find it irritating though

cerulean sable
#

it is a common issue even for those who liked the game afaik\

languid linden
cloud yew
#

yeah probably

dusk wharf
cerulean sable
#

some people outright see the bloodstain system as an antithesis to hollow knight's design

#

i can see what they mean by it discouraging exploration

#

and again with a game as open and optional as it is, not everyone is guaranteed to learn about Jiji

dusk wharf
#

I like family guy on youtube shorts with those silly lil games

cerulean sable
#

even worst, if youre deep inside shit's creek, far from any stag station, not a lot of people will be willing to find a stag just so they can open it up on Jiji, it can easily be seen as tedium

sinful flare
dusk wharf
#

Fr fr

cloud yew
#

i mean its a pain in the ass if u had a lot of geo but a lot of the time u can just ignore ur shade and go do something else

cerulean sable
#

the 33% is a big thing for a lot of players

#

its not like Dark Souls where unless its a huge soul deposit, you can ignore it

#

but being handicapped by 33% soul for the average player is a big enough incentive to find their shade

#

and if they die not only do they LOSE the money, theyre still going to use the same route because theyre gonna want to uncap their soul

#

though in essence you can just probably get yourself killed to a nearby enemy at that point, it can be discouraging

cloud yew
#

.............i have literally never noticed that ur soul gets capped LMAO

#

how did i not notice that

#

ok that makes sense LOL

cerulean sable
#

granted Dark Soul's advantage with the system is afaik, its open but NOT TOO open, bloodstains ends up becoming more like checkpoints for how far you can go and get back to and youre most likely gonna try to go forward anyway

#

HK is very open in comparison, and theres plenty of variables that will impact your performance ranging from upgrades, charms, abilities etc

storm abyss
#

I'm mixed, I can definitely see it disincentivizing trying something else if you're having trouble, but I have to imagine for like bosses and the like most would go and try again even without something like the shade pulling them to do so

silver oak

death spot reclaiming @silver oak

storm abyss

It started talking about the blur changes, them morphed into talk about how the silk meter changes when you die, to just general discussion of the death mechanics

silver oak
#

hollow terrace
#

Alright "Necromancer"

silver oak
#

you can't see my playthrough

cerulean sable
#

honestly i think getting rid of the silk cap is for the best, then just emphasize holding hard currency via rosary strings

coarse leaf
#

one must imagine sisyphus happy

shell yacht
#

imma stream mine, just so i can keep a good recording of shit without wasting 56gb on clips

cerulean sable
#

youre still punished dying ofc but at the very least the economy is a lot more focused on holding hard non droppable currency

#

and on the flipside you leave a cocoon that insta heals fills your soul anyway

marsh ibex
#

I’m fucking tweaking

shell yacht
#

ok

silver oak
#

are you equating your silk meter to money? I'm confused

marsh ibex
#

I didn’t even take drugs bro I can see the fucking floating drones again

#

I’m insane

cerulean sable
#

no im basically saying, you can still punish someone by making them lose money on death

shell yacht
#

silksomg tool: retrieves stuff including silkpile

marsh ibex
#

Oh are we talking mid death mechanics

cerulean sable
#

but you avoid the entire "I am required to go back to my cocoon" mentality by not capping the silk meter like in HK

#

and by emphasizing holding rosary strings

quartz cave
#

What are we talking about chat

storm abyss
#

That sounds like an absolute pain

cerulean sable
#

so even if you lose like 300 soft currency you wont give a shit that much because youre holding like a lot of stringed rosaries anyway

silver oak
#

wdym "capping the silk meter"

quartz cave
#

We should talk about barbie imo

cerulean sable
silver oak
#

oh like, you get 2/3 of your max

cerulean sable
#

theres a screenshot of the silk meter broken in the xbox page

#

a lot of player will go back and hunt their shade for their geo and their 33% cap

shell yacht
#

my solution to the "go back to where u died" thing is dont be carrying. its never a slog in any game, i use my currency up outside of bossfights then i go die repratedly

silver oak
#

ok I understand

marsh ibex
#

Shouldn’t you say cuts your soul

#

I mean both are right

quartz cave
#

Ok bye mod disc

silver oak
#

moil you are literally a mod

cerulean sable
#

i mean yeah ofc you spend your money when you can, never hoard is pretty much the best option in HK

quartz cave
silver oak
#

I hope it's a little harder to gain massive amounts of money in silksong

marsh ibex
#

Holy fuck

silver oak
#

Like in HK, as soon as you got a little decent at the game money was basically worthless

marsh ibex
#

HOLY FUCK

silver oak
#

go away joker

quartz cave
#

Please^^

serene chasm
#

I want to buy the citadel

shell yacht
#

randomly beat up a guy with a bag of money like its Spyro 3 and get rich

marsh ibex
cerulean sable
#

but since playthroughs are variable, not everyone is guaranteed the same route or will find a shortcut back to spend it, which is why Silksong having those holy benches that allows you to tie up your rosary is a good inbetween

like if youre uncertain that youre not near a shortcut/fast travel yet, putting holy benches inbetween areas where fast travel isnt near is a good compromise as a some sort of currency checkpoint

cloud yew
#

hopefully theres a casino in pharloom where u can gamble away ur life savings

quartz cave
cerulean sable
#

yeah but we didnt know that geo was worthless by midgame zote

shell yacht
#

wait ss has a bank that doesnt rob you?

silver oak
#

are we sure of the mechanic of certain benches being rosary string ones?

cerulean sable
#

it has a rosary tying system

silver oak
#

I thought that was a shop

cerulean sable
#

yeah they already said it

shell yacht
#

pog

cerulean sable
#

you can either tie your rosaries by two methods

#

you use a holy bench

#

or you do it on a shop where you have to pay for a markup

cerulean sable
#

from there it converts the rosaries into trinkets

#

im not sure tho if holy benches will require resources

gilded adder
#

seerpray benches

cerulean sable
#

my guess is
holy benches = theyre far from fast travel stations, you have to have a string to attach it on you get via exploration, but from there on its free

#

shops = you dont need a string since theyll provide it for you, but you lose a little rosary because you have to pay for a fee

#

because putting holy benches near fasttravel will most likely just invalidate shops, because unless the fee is small enough to not care, people will probably prefer fast travelling to the nearest holy bench and just tying that for free UNLESS ofc you need a seperate string resource to do it

shell yacht
#

what if theyre upgradable like Blasphemous

cerulean sable
#

thats another possibility im thinking of

#

like, theyre a permanent upgrade that dictates how much rosary strings you can make at a max on a holy bench

shell yacht
#

i nearly did my whole playthough not knowing u could upgrade your altars

#

they TURN INTO TELEPORTERS

cerulean sable
#

benches will require you to use these strings but shops can allow you to either 1. use your existing strings to be turned into trinkets 2. any remaining geo must require a temporary/non reusable string which will break upon rosary consumption, is why it costs money as theyll be providing the materials

shell yacht
cerulean sable
#

so you end up with 2 strings
the permanent but reusable one (but a lot more limited)
the temporary one provided by the shop keepers if you run out of permanent

#

this is all just speculation ofc

shell yacht
