every year we get closer and closer to the 2028 placeholder date

[fiery burrow]

Any SCOA in chat

[glossy gazelle]

It would be really funny if it actually released then

[molten pewter]

wheres the images

or the colors

[near adder]

Is it really, if I already bought the game?

[olive bobcat]

There are no images for your kind

[molten pewter]

okay how do I get them

[glossy gazelle]

I’d expect it to be the Elden Ring of metroidvanias by that point

so the cycle continues...

[half dagger]

im feeling evil....i have en EVIL opinion. ....TC should've RELEASED the e3 demo....MUAHAHAHA!!!

[molten pewter]

that was already kinda the first game

[hollow terrace]

If you bought a pirated copy then you got scammed

[molten pewter]

this one appears to be more bloodborne-like

[coarse leaf]

Dude I am sorry but this game has now been in development for over 5 years, I get it's 3 people but like MY GOD GIVE US SOMETHING

[fervent spear]

https://tenor.com/view/feelsbadman-sadfrog-sad-cry-gif-5069069

[fiery burrow]

HK took 4 years

[stoic sigil]

I was so disappointed not to see Silksong at [event]. Despite all the other times Silksong has failed to appear, I was certain it would show up at [event] because it's been [amount of time] since [date I decided was significant in some way] and because of the recent [community speculation] and [social media vague-posting].

I was so sure that we would see something and I am heartbroken that we did not. Due to the omission on this particular day, I demand that Team Cherry now answer for their policy of silence that has remained consistent and reliably predictable for years.

[molten pewter]

they gave us something a year ago, right

[cunning geode]

have you read the edge magazine interview?

[fiery burrow]

5 years isn't even that long for an indie game

[glossy gazelle]

I meant in terms of content

[fiery burrow]

It never gets any easier

[glossy gazelle]

6 years actually

[coarse leaf]

Like give us a blog podt

[stoic sigil]

WTF BASED?

[molten pewter]

oh. you are right

[fiery burrow]

6 years isn't long either

[coarse leaf]

Post

[fiery burrow]

Pinging TC for no reason is against the rules

[olive bobcat]

The studious man need not engage in Silksong discourse, as he understands his input is irrelevant, and the game shall arrive all the same

[fervent spear]

this channel goes round and round in circles

[tranquil pier]

Real

[molten pewter]

much like the subreddit

[glossy gazelle]

It always does that until we get news

[opaque sigil]

They have

[half dagger]

erm actually it is! ☝🏿🤓 trust me im correct and not wrong!

[glossy gazelle]

It’s the endless now

[toxic lily]

Always the same cycle lmao

Yooo the Marketing complaints are here! Mark the bingo tile!

[opaque sigil]

It’s barely been two months since that was last said

[toxic lily]

We had a reassurence some month ago when Leth said that the game is still developped

[glossy gazelle]

There’s a bingo tile?

[coarse leaf]

Dude I'm on silksong channel

[coarse leaf]

Where

[cunning geode]

ok

[glossy gazelle]

2 months ago

[fiery burrow]

Silksong fans need to be babysat by Leth every 2 months

[glossy gazelle]

It’s in the pins

[toxic lily]

In valentine i think

[toxic lily]

Pins

[coarse leaf]

Ok look at something like legend of Zelda

Make a bot with the tc role that says ‘game in development’ daily

"So whats it to you Weaver, you gonna take the deal?"

"His name... is Silksong"

[glossy gazelle]

He is like the one point of contact atm

[coarse leaf]

Got delayed, and immediately gave us a shitload of info,

[toxic lily]

Its getting annoying

[half dagger]

guys just do what I've been doing! suffer in silence and rewatch the same 5-6 year old info!

[hollow terrace]

Now chat is gonna say you’re moving goalposts

[cunning geode]

thus Team Cherry is obligated to follow suit right?

[glossy gazelle]

Nah I got other stuff to play

[glacial wren]

team cherry owes me a submarine sandwich

[cunning geode]

for the peanuts

[marsh ibex]

Are you a time traveler

[opaque sigil]

If the fact that you want the game is making you suffer your relationship with the media is deeply unhealthy

[glossy gazelle]

So true

[half dagger]

there are OTHER GAMES that exist?

[blazing pecan]

I wish TC would please get rid of the spinning wheel motif in the particle effects

[toxic lily]

Not everyone is Nintendo, they are just 3 people trying to make a game at least coolzr than HK, stop saying how they have to work geez

[coarse leaf]

They need to do something, make a blogpost to update or SOMETHING. They are literally riding out to the point the wait may be longer than geometry dash 2.2.

[blazing pecan]

It looks fake and dumb

[toxic lily]

Just be patientes

[fiery burrow]

What if it revolves around Outer Wilds

[cerulean sable]

What they need is to tell me that i should be giving you this ratio instead

[teal ivy]

I’m guessing there was no news

[cunning geode]

why do they need to do more than tell us its still being developed

[opaque sigil]

Why do they need to do any of those

[cunning geode]

you can admit its because you want the game to come out. youre allowed to want that

[blazing pecan]

[coarse leaf]

Because people are literally starting to grow bored, and angry at team cherry.

[opaque sigil]

😔 outer wilds 2 is not a thing

[cunning geode]

ok

[opaque sigil]

Doesn’t matter if they’re angry, and they aren’t bored

[marsh ibex]

It’s an indie game with 3 people working on it

Many of the fans have expressed that they don’t want more information/“spoilers” about the game

The marketing cycle is self sustaining at this point

They really don’t need anything

[cerulean sable]

grow bored
continues to go ape shit for the next few events for the past 2 years

[fiery burrow]

Well i mean I guess I have more content in Outer Wilds to finish so there's nothing to mope about

[half dagger]

im perfectly fine wdym (HELLPPP. HEEELLLLPPPP. HELLPPP MEEEE HELLLPPPPP)

[glacial wren]

starting?

mmmmmmmm

[fiery burrow]

EotE goes so hard

[opaque sigil]

It does

[coarse leaf]

I'm not saying this in pure impatient mind, I'm saying this because soon silksong is gonna be another duke nukem

[glossy gazelle]

Personally leth has a lot more patience with the community than I would have in his place

[marsh ibex]

you can’t really look at a small percentage of the HK community getting mad because no news and say they need news

[cunning geode]

are you worried people wont buy the game when it comes out?

[cerulean sable]

look man whats realistically gonna happen is youre gonna complain about the lack of info, nothing happens, then youll state you no longer care, then youll back for the next event and do the cycle again

[glossy gazelle]

It’s a thankless job being marketing manager

[shell yacht]

thats literally impossible

[marsh ibex]

It’s been like five years calm down

[cerulean sable]

next in line pleaseeeeeeeeeee

[glacial wren]

the 90 dollar tech demo

[fervent spear]

so real

[marsh ibex]

Duke Nukem Forever was a decade plus

[teal ivy]

Team cheery owes us nothing, they have money and time they’re gonna make the best game they possibly can for us and we just have to he patient

[cerulean sable]

kid named Omori

[glossy gazelle]

I’m only real worried is usually what happens when a game takes a long time expectations get set incredibly high

[shell yacht]

imagine comparing an indie metroidvaia to that dogshit game

[hollow terrace]

Yknow honestly TC is doing a big brain play by waiting this out, Gatekeepmaxxing out the posers fans

[cunning geode]

hello yes i would like to complain about how Quake's technological advancements got in the way of fun gameplay

[marsh ibex]

Fine, you all can act like this isn't a problem, but in coming years and it still isn't out, you guys are gonna start growing mad like everyone else.

[glacial wren]

yeah aye ive been waitin since 2019, some peeps been waiting even longer

[fiery burrow]

It never gets any easier

[glossy gazelle]

The backers be like

[cunning geode]

shit happens you gotta just move along with other stuff in life

[coarse leaf]

I'm used to it too, but I fucking know what it's like to see a game become a laughing stock because I WAS THERE FOR THE WAIT OF DUKE NUKEM MAN

[cerulean sable]

we literally cannot care less, if it comes out then good but if its not then whats another year with plenty of games to go

[olive bobcat]

Silksong waiters realizing they can channel that energy to better things like being good at school or making friends

[cerulean sable]

i mean, thats a you issue ngl

[teal ivy]

I’ve been waiting one year🤭

[blazing pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/puppy-tired-tired-puppy-doggo-cute-puppy-gif-11991054484590146769

[marsh ibex]

ok

[cunning geode]

duke nukem is a laughing stock regardless sorry

[fervent spear]

the game will release when Team Cherry is ready for it. I'd rather them take their time than release it and we're dealing with tons of bugs because they felt like they needed to push it out

[glacial wren]

that thing with the monkey and the berry, we need to see a team cherry member playing silksong and/or eating a poison berry then we will be sated

[blazing pecan]

There will be bugs

[olive bobcat]

Joker do you wanna see my Persona themed setups

[barren sequoia]

Hk will release when team cherry turns 10

[coarse leaf]

I don't want to see my favorite indie game to fall to that

[marsh ibex]

sure

[glossy gazelle]

Like I’m currently waiting on Prime 4, you think this is bad? Prime 4 has gotten absolutely nothing and I have waited a similar length of time for that

[cerulean sable]

hey reminder when Omori took 7 years and that was even a bigger kickstarter controversy with people saying its dead then when it came out and became popular suddenly everyone started patting each other in the back like nothing happened and everyone forgot about the 7 year wait

yeah

[restive sable]

just play celeste instead

[shell yacht]

skill issue, now look at starfeild, and cyberpunk, and then baldurs gate 3. and give up your nonsense

[coarse leaf]

no i wont

[half dagger]

[fervent spear]

[glacial wren]

get mad AAAAAAHH

[cerulean sable]

"youre gonna grow mad like everyone else"

picture of the set for the passion of christ . jpg

[cunning geode]

yknow sometimes you just cant compare video game development cycles from different dev teams like that

[marsh ibex]

me back then
Holy shit metroid dread and prime 4 what a great year for metroid fans

The literal only prime 4 news we’ve gotten is that they restarted development

[wooden schooner]

Do you really want to compare BG3 with the other two

[olive bobcat]

If I'm studying late at night then I'll usually throw one of these setups on and have a study mix of that game's music

[glossy gazelle]

Like we at least know how Silksong will play for Prime 4 we don’t even know that

[teal ivy]

Silksong gonna be the most comfortable £20 I’ll ever spend

[restive sable]

why would I? my life doesnt revolve around this game, if it comes out good if it doesnt tough luck

[shell hare]

That sounds like a them problem

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/tvDyyiivXuQ

[marsh ibex]

Nice

[cunning geode]

oh no

[marsh ibex]

Woah there

[blazing pecan]

There will be BUGS,
DEATH

[marsh ibex]

No slurs allowed smh

[shell yacht]

yeah im not a whiney dev that calls bg3 an outlier of unreachable quality

[glossy gazelle]

We have seen zero gameplay of Prime 4

[half dagger]

silksong fact! silk

[torpid orchid]

which game on this indie world are you excited for?

[glossy gazelle]

So this is just normal to me

[wooden schooner]

That was in defense of BG3

[toxic lily]

Good choice

[coarse leaf]

Triple A Studios are idiots, they don't make good games nowadays unless its a franchise that had footing.

[cerulean sable]

Anyway going back, yeah most of us here will probably feel the same as it would be next year, just like how we used to do the past 5 years
This is like the standard for us because were no longer as hyperfixated on teh game

[restive sable]

bg3 also shouldnt be taken as a standard which was what that tweet tried to say

[shell yacht]

??? my point was BG3 is peak

[wooden schooner]

Like please, dont compare it to bethesda in space and trainwreck launch

[half dagger]

the hot red guy with the explodey stuff

[shell hare]

Well... some of us actually have lives and are normal so..

[glossy gazelle]

So true

[coarse leaf]

Indies and first party are right now best in the time.

[shell yacht]

AAA dev copium i could not care less

[wooden schooner]

I think I missed your point

[cerulean sable]

I guarantee 95% would not care and play the all is forgiven angle once the game comes out good

[half dagger]

atom brass or whatever

[fiery burrow]

Energy spent getting mad at TC could also be used for making Silksong art or getting hyped for the game

[hollow terrace]

Devs in triple A studios should MURDER their ceos!!!!!

[coarse leaf]

[glossy gazelle]

I’m just sick of the vaporware jokes really

i think it's just the trend to hate on TC everytime there's a direct with no SS

[wooden schooner]

Yeah, I mean I talk in this chat about silksong because it is the silksong chat

[coarse leaf]

Doubt

[shell yacht]

my point was big companies are shoveling out slop but good devs exist, and TC isnt a giant money hungry corpo

[shell hare]

Exposing yourself fr

[olive bobcat]

Wombat you have the funniest gif collection I've seen

[coarse leaf]

I don't hate team cherry

[shell yacht]

bungie reference

[cunning geode]

yeah neither do we

[coarse leaf]

Sorry I'm passionate about this series

[cerulean sable]

buddy ive been in the fandom since 2017
my stance hasnt changed, because i actually have other irl priorities 🥴

i think this is unironically the first game youre waiting for

[fiery burrow]

This is TC we're talking about

[coarse leaf]

Cant go losing the argument smh, i nedd the internet points

[shell hare]

People when their lives revolve around a single game:

[fiery burrow]

Ofc its gonna suck

[half dagger]

all this banter and ss STILL isn't out. wake up sheeple! hornet and lace are KISSING!

[glossy gazelle]

I doubt it’s going to unless it gets like a 60 on metacritic or something

[wooden schooner]

Can't you all accept legitimate concerns isn't hating on the devs

[teal ivy]

I dont get the ppl who hate on TC, they literally gave us all one of our favourite games of all time out of nothing, we all just want it asap but we must let them cook

[cerulean sable]

im passionate about the game but i am in no way that hyperfixated about it

[slate rampart]

ayo d2 player ?

[marsh ibex]

oh no its the popo

[wooden schooner]

And mocking others

[glacial wren]

silksong is bad and team cherry is just plugging holes on their sinking ship? sure

[shell yacht]

unfortunately

[wanton charm]

No one knows what NDA is

[fiery burrow]

Really Silksong fell apart when they removed colored blood

[slate rampart]

i love it

[cerulean sable]

we are? we did discuss back then the comms couldve been better but people acting like their lives depended on this game is a different type of special

[cunning geode]

i cant tell you or else i'll break NDA

[coarse leaf]

Nope, I waited for hollow Knight as well, thing is that was their first game, that released to if I remember not Too many issues

[cerulean sable]

my life wont change if or not silksong comes out

[coarse leaf]

And took 4 years total

[slate rampart]

doubt anyone is under nda for ss

[glacial wren]

but i do hate team cherry. fucking pits...

[glossy gazelle]

Leth probably is

[coarse leaf]

Yeah because then they had no mofe money

[fiery burrow]

HK was unfinished upon release

[marsh ibex]

they ran out of money and had to release the game

It was poorly optimized when it first released

Passionate is one thing. You are an entire different thing.

[hollow terrace]

Isn’t this beautiful

[half dagger]

silksong fact! the radiance made up the infection to make people feel bad

[olive bobcat]

I think people would be happier if they realized Hollow Knight was never good to begin with

[slate rampart]

all games are

[marsh ibex]

ign

[glossy gazelle]

Time is a flat circle

[cunning geode]

it has a little something for everyone

[marsh ibex]

no?

[fiery burrow]

No like Traitor Lord and The Hive just sucked

[restive sable]

lol

[cerulean sable]

hey i remember trying to run Hollow Knight on my 2019 year old laptop and it still ran like shit despite passing the min requirements with flying colors, and it only went to acceptable framerates right after Lifeblood

[wooden schooner]

I mean river is annoying, symon just had previous waits that went awry

[fiery burrow]

Nosk did too

[wooden schooner]

And doesn't want it again ?

[glossy gazelle]

Release hollow knight was not a finished game lol

[cerulean sable]

go the hive
arena
there is no boss
lmao

[fiery burrow]

Its as if you can't make a game like that in 2 years with $70k

[half dagger]

hey wait a second this is SILKSONG discussion start talking about SILK!

[glossy gazelle]

And part of the reason I think SS is talking a while is because they don’t want to do that again

[coarse leaf]

I played a few months after if I remember because I lost track on the wait, then bought it

[fervent spear]

HK was a kickstarter too, I feel like there was more pressure to get it out by a specific time because it was being backed by other peoples money

[glossy gazelle]

Nosk at launch was embarrassing

[teal ivy]

Bro there’s like 4 ppl working on the game guys chill

[restive sable]

hive is still unfinished to this day

[cunning geode]

3, i ate one

[coarse leaf]

Nosk is embarrassing still

[slate rampart]

cant wait for them to cancel the game because of the bullshit part of the comunity

[shell hare]

I have this pair of silk gloves

[teal ivy]

Larkin just doing music too

[steady raven]

If Silksong isn't at SGF this year I'm going to become a Vtuber

[coarse leaf]

His fight is laughable

[cerulean sable]

yes, and the game is taking longer and hopefully stuff like that isnt present on the base game that needs to get bandaid fixed

[half dagger]

hope you know live2d well

[fiery burrow]

Same goes for Traitor Lord but the fights are still significantly better then they were on launch

[south crown]

ill make sure of it then

[coarse leaf]

No, and thats also not what should be accepted as standard

[steady raven]

They're not going to lose potentially millions of dollars because their fan base sucks

[cunning geode]

Lords of the Fallen 👹

[shell hare]

Bookmarking this

[half dagger]

thank you for the silk discussion!

[cerulean sable]

cant have DLCs when the supposed DLCs are now part of release in the first place

[cerulean sable]

i thought you were gonna say Lord of the Flies

[slate rampart]

it wont because like many have said news will come from tc

[cunning geode]

i pressed enter too soon

[fiery burrow]

Silksong will have console ports on day 1 which is something hk didn't have I don't think

[cunning geode]

but that wouldve been interesting

[restive sable]

silksong development just feels like a textbook example of feature creep, with the almost unlimited funds TC has and some perfectionism they just keep adding things because they can

[glacial wren]

the idea that grey prince zote wasn't always in the game makes me sad

[nimble radish]

who was it said no art is ever finished, just abandoned

[restive sable]

not like with hk where they had to release because they ran out of cash

[opaque sigil]

Hive:

[teal ivy]

Bro they’re prob having so much fun

[glossy gazelle]

If indie games got canceled because rabid fangames like a 1/3rd of all indie games would be thanos snapped

[restive sable]

no doubt

[wide quartz]

oh man i remember that one video some posted a month ago

[restive sable]

i say let them cook

[coarse leaf]

You can stand still and slash up in a corner and win.

[steady raven]

Yeah, I'm trying to believe in an event for once in my life because the clowns seem to have more fun with them. I'm experiencing both the doubter side and the believer side

[coarse leaf]

We have literally no idea

[restive sable]

i also dont expect this game to be better than hk

[half dagger]

there should be a hk dlc that takes after the events of the main ending. you just stand there doing nothing containing the infection and that's it

[cerulean sable]

they had moments where they were implementing little features like bouncing rings and swinging bg materials

by all means they can take their time if they wanna add chockful of details like this, and this is also their first foray of having a talking character + more NPCs

[opaque sigil]

This is not a common thing for indies

[restive sable]

and thats fine

[fiery burrow]

And as some assurance: We’re not just randomly building things without an end in site. We know how this story unfolds and as much as we add, our intent is always to evoke the feeling of exploring a vast, surprising new world; one that matches (or exceeds) the scale and diversity of the original game.

[south crown]

wha

[glossy gazelle]

Doomposting at a all time high

[glacial wren]

PLEASE

[teal ivy]

Imagine not having the financial struggle they must’ve gone through for hk, the sky is the limit for them im so happy for them and for us when we get to play it

[glacial wren]

i want more zote skulls

[shell hare]

Agreed.

[glossy gazelle]

Granted that was said like in 2019 so hopefully they are sticking to that

[fiery burrow]

low bar iirc

[cerulean sable]

honestly at this point Silksong wont have a DLC

the supposed DLC will probably be part of base game

[coarse leaf]

I remember that

[bleak sundial]

No news??? Who could have thunk it!!

[cerulean sable]

the best part is they can adjust the base game WITH the DLC ideas instead of making it feel like its duct taped into the game

[steady raven]

I still have a screenshot from TGA last year where Graig said he was going to kiss Geoff Keighly on the lips

[glacial wren]

i legitimately believe that after silksong releases aside from bug fixing they'll move to their elusive next project

[glossy gazelle]

This

[coarse leaf]

Man gods & glory was a pain in my ass fuck the pantheon of Hallownest

[restive sable]

insert very original bug joke

[fiery burrow]

I think this is why GT was basically just a fetch quest

[south crown]

nuh uh, silksong IS the dlc remember?

[bleak sundial]

Plz bring back pantheon in silksong

[glossy gazelle]

And thankfully that project shouldn’t be hyped to hell like ss

[fiery burrow]

TRUE

[bleak sundial]

Godmaster was the best part of hk

[fiery burrow]

shralse

[shell hare]

Who knows, maybe while in development they'll be like "hey, maybe we should add-" and someone else is like "NO. THEY'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. PUT IT IN A DLC."

[steady raven]

They won't feel obligated to announce the project to early like they did with SS. They'll announce it later

[glossy gazelle]

I think when ss finally launches the indie directs can finally have peace

[shell hare]

They just keep adding more and more

[cerulean sable]

that someone else was Leth, and that was back in 2021

and their reply was more or less "hmmm ehhhhh"

[hollow terrace]

Unlike all of you HATERS I liked godhome, MODS cut the godhome discussion before they bring out their criticism

[south crown]

or most likely polishing it more

[steady raven]

They don't give two shits how long we wait. They'll do whatever they want and we can't do anything about it

[shell hare]

Absolutely

[blazing pecan]

I'm going to sleep now

[shell hare]

They want to make this game perfect

[blazing pecan]

My eyes are forcibly closing

[cerulean sable]

if HK had more budget Godhome lore wouldve been good :^)

[shell hare]

Sleep well

[teal ivy]

Everything is more complex this time around the combat itself looks so much more diverse and prob requires so much balancing

[restive sable]

nighty

[hollow terrace]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU FAILED ME

[teal ivy]

That kind of stuff alone is prob taking a big chunk of their time

[coarse leaf]

Oh no I love god home, it's an amazing set piece and location. The problem is FUCK. THE. PANTHEON. OF. HALLOWNEST.

[steady raven]

Skill issue

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah it seems like there’s a lot more balancing that will go into the game

[slate rampart]

honest thought game aint far but polishing is taking ages because they keep finding stuff and also small team

[south crown]

godhome lore better than empty vessel bug or whatever hk’s lore is about

[glossy gazelle]

So we don’t get a Flukenest

[glacial wren]

godhome more like godho-ly shit why can't this have just been a seperate game mode like it ended up being anyway

[cerulean sable]

also theyre including the new movement tweaks like crests

imagine having 5 crests, needing to balance it that everything still works combat wise AND on top of being feasible in platforming sections

[coarse leaf]

Have you beaten PANTHEON OF HALLOWNEST in steel soul mode

[teal ivy]

Yeah exactly

[shell hare]

I would have loved to explore Godhome more and the lore of it

[steady raven]

No

[glossy gazelle]

We still don’t know what the blue and yellow tools do, for all we know they could be a balancing nightmare

[marsh ibex]

That’s not any harder than vanilla poh

[restive sable]

you cant die in pantheon in ss what

[fiery burrow]

The problem si that it doesn't involve enough skill

[restive sable]

am i misremembering or not picking up on sacarsm

[teal ivy]

Apparently each crest will be for a different play style, so not necessarily better than others just what u prefer

[glacial wren]

i need that in my life though

[south crown]

theres a pantheon in silksong?

[teal ivy]

So some can’t be more blatantly overpowered than other

[restive sable]

so true

[coarse leaf]

Still, you have to go through hell to get to that pantheon

[glossy gazelle]

Ah yes

[half dagger]

godhome? more like godgnome!

[coarse leaf]

Fight bosses again

[slate rampart]

and adding quests aswell and making sure they aint too monotone

[molten pewter]

Y-

[glossy gazelle]

Pantheon of Silksong

[glacial wren]

the gods of silk and also somg...

[restive sable]

the real hell is colo 3 in a no quit out scumming 112 steel soul run

[teal ivy]

The quest stuff is a worry to me I hope it isn’t some Ubisoft type shi

[steady raven]

My guess is the crests and tools will change how combat works, and there will be required items that allow you to traverse new areas. For eaxample the the mantis claw.

[fiery burrow]

Thanks for grabbing me 3 mossberries! Take 3 rosary strings

[coarse leaf]

I really hope silksongs movement is busted, but locked behind bosses or something, like the knight

[cerulean sable]

and thats not including the tool balancing, tool interaction, the ability balancing, the healing balancing, hornet being able to talk, expanding the dialogue for all NPCs, the fact that enemies being "goombas" AI wise wont really fit the game etc

we also remember that theyre the type of people that according to Leth has insane attention to detail when he was watching them working, we had stuff in the demo where you could pogo and beat the shit out of Ballow and Forge Daughter would laugh at him, and i feel like stuff and interactions like that will be sprinkled all throughout the game

[fiery burrow]

Ideally the quests are bait to lead you into interesting content

[shell hare]

I wonder now if they'll have platforming sections that you have to use certain crests for, or if it will be made to work with all of them.

[cerulean sable]

all by 3 guys

[teal ivy]

Insane to think about

[cerulean sable]

yeah thats another thing im wondering, but at least crests where built in mind as far as 2019 so they wont get into established design issues by then

[shell hare]

Ah yeah true

[cerulean sable]

yeah exactly, youre gonna have to make them all work instead of "lol get fucked swap crests lmao"

[fiery burrow]

Team Cherry is crazy dedicated its insane. They were working 10+ hours a day while eating cheap meat sandwiches in the span of 2 years to release Hollow Knight.

[glossy gazelle]

I think the va for hornet said she finished recording her stuff a while ago so I think at least the va portion is probably wrapped up

[half dagger]

does anyone remember zoteboat. what the hell was that

[restive sable]

until they add a new movement crest and the cycle repeats

[shell hare]

Any predictions as to what Silk Soul mode will be like? I've been wanting to know about it so much

[teal ivy]

Prob just steel soul

[cerulean sable]

not much to do with Hornet's VA other than grunts and stuff, they could probably do with enough variation and its not lke she has to rerecord lines yeah

[fiery burrow]

They said its not steel soul

[restive sable]

you die in one hit like silk irl

[steady raven]

Your computer blue screens if you die

[opaque sigil]

Crests probably don’t have a very big effect on movement, they slightly change pogo behavior that’s about it

[south crown]

“according to leth”
ok playtester 🙄

[cerulean sable]

nah they said it has to be more than steel soul, hell i feel like silk soul wont even have permadeath

[shell hare]

Someone needs to make sure they're eating properly..

[fiery burrow]

Permadeath is quite literally useless especially when Silksoul will add additional mechanics to get used to

[glossy gazelle]

Oh yeah Silk Soul mode

[teal ivy]

Console blows up if u get hit once

[glossy gazelle]

That would add to dev time

[shell hare]

Brilliant

[steady raven]

cheap meat was my nickname in college

[cerulean sable]

legit one of the most underrated aspect thats kinda forgotten is the enemy AI itself apparently getting an overhaul

[half dagger]

so does nobody else find the whole different nail thing cool or was that screencap a figment of my imagination

[opaque sigil]

It would make very little sense for it to have permadeath

[glacial wren]

i keep saying this and nobody takes it seriously. Hungry Knight mode

[shell hare]

I'm excited to see what Silk Soul mode will be like. I'm excited for everything about the game really lol

[glossy gazelle]

And the bosses are build different to HK if lace is any indication btw

[shell hare]

Especially excited for the soundtrack

[bright frost]

How so?

[fiery burrow]

Pharloom cuisine mode would go hard tbh

[glossy gazelle]

So it’s not just enemies

[teal ivy]

I was just about to say

[bright frost]

How so?

[steady raven]

Maybe they'll do what Grime does, where you can upgrade your weapons further in NG+ and there's some new enemies and bosses

[bright frost]

Meant to say that to TTacco lol

[shell hare]

Can't wait to see what Christopher Larkin is cooking

[half dagger]

lol

[glacial wren]

no more flying bug that just moves toward you until you're dead like every other game with bad enemy ai

[teal ivy]

I deadass be outside with my hk playlist in my headphones

[cerulean sable]

dont get me wrong HK mob combat can be fun, but like most of the praise for the combat goes to the bosses

in this case they acknowledged moss knights and guards were the most complex mob enemies they had

and the rest are more or less goombas

[glossy gazelle]

Many of the flying enemies just hover around the knight until they attack unless it’s a vengefly or gruzzer,

[cerulean sable]

and in silksong, being able to do the HK method of "lol ill hit you and then fuck off this ledge and you cant chase" wont really work anymore

[restive sable]

i wish primal aspids were goombas instead of death incarnate

[high hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-finn-poe-dameron-they-fly-now-fly-gif-25032438

[teal ivy]

Primal aspid spawns*

[bright frost]

Does make sense in context of the setting because of the infection but in Silksong the infection isn't there

[cerulean sable]

in HK it also made thematic sense because enemies were infected so you could excuse that theyre just being mindless but thats not going to be excusable for them in Silksong

[bright frost]

Yep

[glossy gazelle]

Or obbles forgot about obbles

[bright frost]

This the black edge magazine?

[half dagger]

Silksong genocide route (KILL EVERYONE!)

[glacial wren]

this movie was written by an archaic ai under the supervision of a tween

[cerulean sable]

kinda not keen on those types of memes sorry

[teal ivy]

Silksong will be more colourful and full of life, I don’t think it’ll be as somber as hollow knight

[cerulean sable]

yeah its on Edge Mag

[shell hare]

I never got to actually read the Edge Magazine article 😔

[cerulean sable]

you can buy it for like 3 dollars

[high hedge]

read it now

[shell hare]

Bet

[cerulean sable]

for the e edition

[opal geyser]

are we having Silksong chat today pals

[shell hare]

Yeah we talking about Silkskong

[high hedge]

dont live a life of regret

[shadow flame]

No ss news at the indie direct rite?

[high hedge]

read the edge article

[glacial wren]

the edge article lives up to the name

[shadow flame]

As expected

[opaque sigil]

And also probably all the interesting stuff by searching for excerpts here

[cerulean sable]

y es but were getting TOTAL WAR™️: HALLOWNEST instead as a collaboration between Creative Assembly and Team Cherry

[cerulean sable]

yeah

[glacial wren]

sorry - silksong

[half dagger]

silksong fact! silksong actually takes place BEFORE hollow knight! the player can GO BACK to hallownest and BEAT the KNIGHT's ASS!

[shell hare]

I will read the article but first
I have to get ready for school I gotta leave in like 30 minutes but I've been lying in bed chatting on Discord for an hour and a half 💀

[opaque sigil]

Can’t believe they announced that and the intsys collab

[glossy gazelle]

The edge was probably the most detail we got about ss in its entirety

It was pretty sick

[cerulean sable]

TRUE

[fresh pollen]

Now they get severe head trauma

[teal ivy]

TC aren’t even on the internet like that they prob dont even know how insane we are

[steady raven]

I've seen at two people playing the dev build of Silksong, Ttaco being one of them, and I thought the first one was a joke.

Like the people who somehow put "Playing Minecraft 2" in their profile

[cerulean sable]

William PROBABLY lurks

[glossy gazelle]

You can easily edit “playing Silksong”

[opaque sigil]

Do you not know that it’s always a joke

[cerulean sable]

because at one point around 2021-2022 some randos were discussing about William and he fucking reacted "😐", OUT OF NOWHERE,

[shell hare]

LOL

[steady raven]

William, if youre seeing this, give us a sign

[glossy gazelle]

He probably is disappointed every time he sees chat

[shell hare]

Was he never heard from again after that

[grand ivy]

Well I can't even say I'm disappointed to be honest

[fresh pollen]

Nah he doesn't know how to turn on invisible mode

[cerulean sable]

australian time is like, 1AM

[teal ivy]

Bro regrets it all

[cerulean sable]

nah but he does post on his twitter

https://twitter.com/wilboooo/status/1779422186849402914

Warning: You are about to avoid a cyclist

Twitter · Apr 14, 2024, 8:11 AM

[slate rampart]

I can’t wait for all the community crap to be over with

[fiery burrow]

What were they saying

[teal ivy]

Just wanted to make a cute game about bugs

[coarse leaf]

i can't believe hornet has become a cyclist

[bright frost]

People do be posting pages of it online

[shell hare]

Oh, it'll be around forever.

[cerulean sable]

they were like "wow this picture of William in the website is funny"

[manic abyss]

Silksong should have a lives system in which if you lose all of your lives Hornet dies and Silksong immediately deletes itself off of your console/PC, and then you have to buy it again

[cerulean sable]

and william went

and people had to double take

[shell hare]

LOL

[opaque sigil]

True that way it would have some real stakes

[glossy gazelle]

I mean it should calm down after ss has been out for while

[steady raven]

I've never seen Williams twitter before, and now I wish I hadn't

[shell hare]

Imagine if he's watching this conversation now

[cerulean sable]

"lol someone is pretending to be william. no wait. check id. HOLY SHIT. no wait, im mistaken. NO WAIT, IT IS WILLIAM"

[glossy gazelle]

He’s probably asleep rn

[shell hare]

True

[teal ivy]

BREAKING: hollow knight silksong will be based on a true story

[cerulean sable]

his twitter is banger

[hollow terrace]

My silliness…. Shattered…

[shell hare]

NOOOO

[steady raven]

Womp womp

[half dagger]

heartbreaking

[fiery burrow]

How do we know thats him

[cunning geode]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232587540719206400/1223457044003295324/markifire.gif

[shell hare]

Praying for ur swift recovery 🙏

[cerulean sable]

all he does is shitpost

[manic abyss]

and each time you have to pay more for it too

This is for all the people who say SS should be more than 20 dollars

[shell hare]

He seems to like eggs

[cerulean sable]

we just know it is because afaik his earlier tweets were kinda supporting the previous games of closer friends way way before HK was even a thing

[teal ivy]

Guys serious question, what are the lengths you’d go to to get ur hands on silksong

[opal geyser]

Hey guys, I'm on my way to the kitchen to make a fresh batch of delusions, anyone want some?

[steady raven]

Is this some sort of ARG or cypher that'll lead us to the release date

[shell hare]

World Domination

[cerulean sable]

no william is just the biggest shitposter on the team

ari is like super silent

[shell hare]

Yes please!

[cerulean sable]

larkin is like "hey check out this music"

[teal ivy]

Ari just drawing fr

[shell hare]

Is he on twitter?

[opaque sigil]

Go to a digital game store page and click a button

[teal ivy]

Larkin like hey check out this symphony I just made on a chill afternoon

[cerulean sable]

jack is mostly doing and featuring games hes played

[urban ermine]

I remember when this happened, i don't think he has been here since then...

[steady raven]

For silksong, I would ||THIS POST HAS BEEN REMOVED AS IT CONTAINS VIOLENT AND DISTURBING CONTENT, PLEASE LEAVE||

[cerulean sable]

meanwhile william:

[shell hare]

Pfft

[fiery burrow]

Pay like $30 dollars

[cerulean sable]

this ist he guy who made ugly jesus vs mummy after all

[cerulean sable]

probably

[steady raven]

Is this loss

[teal ivy]

Im a music producer and I want to make it clear as to how amazing Christopher larkins work on the first game truly is, he made all of that with digital software and plugins

[coarse leaf]

the man,,,

[cerulean sable]

i like that even back in 2013 he was already shitposting

[half dagger]

silksong fact! PHARLOOM is taken over by the MOSS, similar to the INFECTION. further into the game, the MOSS will be more prevalent in the enemies, and they will all be voiced by HOLLOW KNIGHT CONTENT CREATOR mossbag!

[shell hare]

Christopher Larkin is just AWESOME

[fiery burrow]

Now he has real string instruments for Silksong

[half arrow]

I would love to meet team Cherry one day, I have heard that they are very nice

[coarse leaf]

does this mean that hornet will play in the handsome men

[fiery burrow]

iirc he peaked with Junkle though

[cerulean sable]

https://twitter.com/composerlarkin

Christopher Larkin (@composerlarkin) on X

I write music and make sound for games and film. Projects include Hollow Knight, Pacman 256, Expand, Adventures of Figaro Pho and others.

Twitter

[teal ivy]

Yeah he most definitely has access to real orchestras to record things for even more clarity and quality

[shell hare]

Ty

[steady raven]

If you do, be sure to post your selfie with them, face uncensored, on r/silksong for free reddit points

[hollow terrace]

Referring silksong as “others” he HATES US

[half arrow]

Xd, yeah ill do that

[urban ermine]

Larkin must have alot more to do with this game with the focus on music and sounds pharloom seems to have

[teal ivy]

Would you say hollow knight is perfect

[half dagger]

SILKSONG has been SCRAPPED! Christopher Larkin HATES US!!!

[opaque sigil]

No

[steady raven]

Internet safety is for losers

[teal ivy]

Little leitmotifs I can’t wait to hear the ear candy scattered in the game

[fiery burrow]

iirc no [[Godmaster]]

[mental swallow]

https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Godmaster

[opaque sigil]

HK has plenty of problems, some larger than others

[shell hare]

Not perfect but my favorite game

[steady raven]

Can't wait to hear plin plin plon out of nowhere and start crying

[fiery burrow]

There are no perfect games

[cerulean sable]

Larkin presented a cool segment during an indie talk
and one thing he said is he usually starts by making a droning layer in the BG in his song as his base, and it also adds to the atmosphere and tone for HK

youll notice a lot of the OST in the game tends to have this "ghostly droning" effect in the BG, and thats that https://youtu.be/uAmgPYMY3o8?t=36

[teal ivy]

Valid

[half arrow]

Safety? What the silk IS that?

[shell hare]

Same...

[lament coyote]

51 days......

[fiery burrow]

Static in Junkle counts imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syTlddWwRMc

[barren sequoia]

I heard this really fantastic fanmade theme the other day

[half dagger]

made up by the PALE KING to make people feel safer in HALLOWNEST!

[steady raven]

Until...?

[cerulean sable]

i love his range in music

[barren sequoia]

https://youtu.be/4uoSKHRk7OY?si=nZFN_-xmBJ6RUGZs

[teal ivy]

Fav hollow knight song go

[barren sequoia]

This guy is really damn good for making fan themes

[cunning geode]

awkward channel to bring up

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah we dont talk about Gauthier anymore 🥴

[barren sequoia]

[shell hare]

What happend?!

[urban ermine]

I hope we can play Hornets nail like the ocarina in OoT and play freely, that would be fun

[lament coyote]

why

[teal ivy]

Isn’t he a nonce?

[cerulean sable]

TW ||lets just say it involves the words "underage" and "dms"||

[shell hare]

We don't talk about Gauthier no no

[shell hare]

OH NO

[cerulean sable]

so yeah its best to avoid it

[fiery burrow]

purge iirc

[teal ivy]

I was looking forward to that soundtrack mod

[half arrow]

Wow

[lament coyote]

but the themes are good

[barren sequoia]

How unfortunate

[half arrow]

I LOVE the silksong fanmade songs

[fiery burrow]

Check out this guy instead
https://www.youtube.com/@dutonic

Good fanmade Silksong music

[full rune]

damn i should start making fanmade silksong music

[cerulean sable]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3SNE4koVHhti075VVhAOBA?si=362715c8a1bf4a8d

Larkin's side stuff is also good

[full rune]

isn't that the guy from hollow knight

[cerulean sable]

yrue

[shell hare]

Whats Hollow Knight

[teal ivy]

Is hollow knight based on true events?

[fiery burrow]

No

[cerulean sable]

lol no

[shell hare]

It is

[cerulean sable]

its not based on true events who told you?

its based on true detective

[shell hare]

Oh you're right

[cerulean sable]

this is literally Hornet and Sherma fr fr

[barren sequoia]

Didn't team cherry get shrunk down and had to survive in a tiny little bug town?

[half arrow]

I know who he is, and also what he did, but I like the music he made.

[urban ermine]

Yes, it's based on the events of the bugs in my backyard

[opaque sigil]

Yeah I just saw some edritch goo yesterday that tried to tear me to pieces, good thing I had my handy flashlight which is made of mind magic

[barren sequoia]

Wasn't there a whole documentary about this

[shell hare]

I wonder if Sherma is going to die

[half arrow]

No .... Please no

[fiery burrow]

Sherma often needs saving so I wouldn't be surprised

[opaque sigil]

idk if characters dying will be as big a thing in ss, that’ll depend on some thematic stuff we just don’t have a great way of knowing

[shell hare]

Well if he needs saving maybe that means he won't die cause we save him 🤔

[fiery burrow]

What if I choose not to save him

[shell hare]

Zote momemt

[fiery burrow]

I would never not save zote

[opaque sigil]

It might be mandatory, at least the first time

[fiery burrow]

lamesauce

[teal ivy]

Will we get a zote type character in silksong

[shell hare]

Zote stole my lunch money so he gets to die

[teal ivy]

Personally hoping for a zote cameo

[opaque sigil]

Trobbio

[shell hare]

Trobbio is a goofy guy

[barren sequoia]

Every npc and quest should be completely missable

Let there be a bad ending where everybody but sherma dies!

[teal ivy]

I love that about hk

And souls games

the developers don’t care that some ppl miss so much content

[opaque sigil]

I imagine quests will be but church keeper at least seems very unavoidable

[urban ermine]

the downside is some people then think there is no story since it's not spoonfed

but i love it that way

[teal ivy]

sorry💙

[opaque sigil]

[fiery burrow]

HK has a story it just sucks

[shell hare]

Did messages just get deleted or is the chat moving weirdly or am I tripping

[stoic sigil]

Hey gang, did you enjoy the Silksong trailer?

[fiery burrow]

Someone was breaking the rules

[shell hare]

Ohh

[teal ivy]

I got warned for bad language 😔

[shell hare]

I only saw the screen in the corner of my vision and just saw a lot of motion so was very confused lol

[steady raven]

Gee, haven't heard that one before

[coral prawn]

I'm so fucking back

[marsh wadi]

Hey gang!

[stoic sigil]

I got banned from the thermostat

[molten pewter]

Not surprising

[hollow terrace]

The bad crop seems like you’re reposting these

[stoic sigil]

I am

[hollow terrace]

Boo this guy

[tranquil prawn]

F

[stoic sigil]

[fiery burrow]

Lebron james caught posting an off topic meme despite the pinned messages

[shell hare]

Destroy him

[urban ermine]

Yeah, my gtx 1650 is just slightly too bad for minimum :/

[neon adder]

Let me guess: no silksong at the indie world

[fiery burrow]

No 🎩 🐦‍⬛

[fervent spear]

are you really suprised?

[fiery burrow]

Well there was the ESRB thing

[neon adder]

God I wish

[teal ivy]

Do we not have a esrb reference for a game that was released digital only

[granite latch]

A small part of me wonders if this is becoming detrimental to games in indie showcases

[neon adder]

I mean yeah
It’s coming soon, I just wish "soon" was defined at all

[fiery burrow]

wdym

[granite latch]

Since everyone just talks over other games and completely disregards them

[fervent spear]

wish it would get dropped so people would stop spamming it in the indie chats

[teal ivy]

Bcoz ppl have been trying to predict the release window based on other games getting esrb ratings in the past

[fiery burrow]

We cancelled Silksong because our fans couldn't keep their mouths shut at the indie showcases

[teal ivy]

But silksong is gonna be digital only on release

So it’s slightly different

[fiery burrow]

Yes and Silksong hasn't even gotten an ESRB rating, its gotten an IARC rating

[neon adder]

Death penalty

[unkempt pawn]

They already said that at nintendo treehouse 4years ago😭

[urban ermine]

I don't really think so, more people are watching because of anticipation if anything but it's probably not too fun for devs watching chat

[fickle ivy]

probably, but it is hard to know for sure. I bet there are peeps hoping the game comes out so the skongers can stfu about it.

[neon adder]

They told us it got delayed

[fiery burrow]

Coming soon is just too vague to take seriously

[little bloom]

did yall actually think

[neat anvil]

so there was no mention in the nintendo live thibg?

[neon adder]

Yeah
That’s why I wish vague was defined

[little bloom]

nope

[neon adder]

Nope

[neat anvil]

damn

[little bloom]

I've kind of sort of given up

[neat anvil]

imagine when they release it its the same size as hollow knight

id giggle so hard

[neon adder]

Jynx, you owe me the staff of oblivion from the 5th layer of hell

[slow bronze]

Guys they just announced that it's coming this summer!!!

[neon adder]

Die

[fickle ivy]

True, but I doubt even TC know for certain right now. They strike me as the "Release it as soon as its ready" kind of devs.

[little bloom]

I don't really have any hope of seeing any news about it like ever

[teal ivy]

Just seems like they went all out with the blog posts then just said aight time to ghost

[little bloom]

fuck does fhat mean

[granite latch]

maybe sgf guys…..

[neon adder]

Jynx, you owe me the staff of oblivion from the 5th layer of hell

[little bloom]

the bench quantity is already 2-3x hk

[fiery burrow]

Why didn't The Beast just convince Wirt Silksong was never coming out? Is he stupid?

[little bloom]

ok

[little bloom]

is there a lore reason

[fiery burrow]

I wouldn't expect it to be too big

[urban ermine]

Someone met ari at a convention some months ago and asked if the map is bigger and he said it's hard to tell because hornet moves so much faster, but might just be a vague answer to dodge the question

[teal ivy]

It’s obviously way bigger in terms of size but it might not feel much bigger due to hornets movement

And area size

[urban ermine]

Yeah

[unkempt pawn]

I mean HK is massiv for an indie game on its own if Sk is about the same size it would be also great

[fiery burrow]

Yeah

[fickle ivy]

Running around at the speed of bees

[fiery burrow]

I'd wager it may be around the same size as HK but just much better in quality

[molten pewter]

I just gaslit an entire Discord server into thinking Team Cherry commented on Indie World (they immediately called my bluff)

[fiery burrow]

Thats not nice

[fickle ivy]

rude

[teal ivy]

I’ll never forget when I started hk I thoognt the first initial map of crossroads cornifer gives u, was the map of the whole game

[fickle ivy]

that is hilarious

[teal ivy]

How pleasently wrong I was

[unkempt pawn]

😅

[fickle ivy]

Five rooms is all you get, use them wisely

[nimble radish]

crossroads is such a slow start too

[urban ermine]

lol nice, i had not seen any footage beyond the crossroads either when i bought the game (watched a let's play until that point then i decided to get it)

[teal ivy]

I rlly liked it tho idk the melancholy atmosphere was so nice to me

[bright frost]

They put their heart and soul over the course of 3 years into the crossroads

[opaque sigil]

I don’t mind HK’s slower start, imo it only gets annoying on second playthroughs

[teal ivy]

The rest of the game just blew me away after that

[molten pewter]

I don’t mind it either

[fickle ivy]

I was fine with crossroads on my first playthrough, but my goodness is it like playing as a slug on later playthroughs

[wheat sail]

Anything good at the nindie shoe case

[unkempt pawn]

From the point on i got the dash i was in love

[proud crow]

SILKSONG WHEN?!?!?!

[teal ivy]

It’s kinda funny ppl who first try the game and just give up early on

[proud crow]

😭

[grand ferry]

it was 20min

[molten pewter]

Dunkey’s game got a release date. Also Antonblast

[urban ermine]

I don't really mind the slow start either, but for the friends i've recommended it to they gave up on it early then ended up loving it when i convinced them to continue

[teal ivy]

Like they have no clue what they’re missing

[fickle ivy]

Eventually

[wheat sail]

Dunkey has a game?

I forgot

[molten pewter]

He’s the publisher of Animal Well

[proud crow]

how long was the development time of hollow knight

[fiery burrow]

4 years in total

[urban ermine]

roughly 4 years

[proud crow]

silksong is like 6 years

bruh

[molten pewter]

Silksong may double that at this pace

[opaque sigil]

It’s nice that SS adds the ledge grab to the early game moveset as a little boost

[proud crow]

they better add like 3 playable characters and 10 endings

[fickle ivy]

my guess is they are tidying things up only for one of them to get a cool idea

[urban ermine]

they put in long hours for hollow knight and had to rush some content

[fiery burrow]

2 extra years isn't that long...

[proud crow]

idk if its just me but silksong character designs are kinda bland

compared to normal hk

[wheat sail]

Ooo animal well

[opaque sigil]

Probably just you

[urban ermine]

yeah just you

[unkempt pawn]

I would also have paid the double price for HK its all worth the money

[barren sequoia]

I like em yeah

[fickle ivy]

its just you

[fiery burrow]

30 dollars for Silksong would be wild tbh

[hollow terrace]

I love silksong designs

[barren sequoia]

Though I very specifically do not like lace

Lace is just ugly

[hollow terrace]

Steel flying crab

[nimble radish]

you guys spent 15 dollars on hollow knight?

[hollow terrace]

And purple little crab

[uncut citrus]

waddahell..

[proud crow]

btw do we know if silksong is gonna be a prequel or sequel

[fiery burrow]

The only good HK design was the lobster

Wait... 🦞 💐

[fiery burrow]

The latter

[fickle ivy]

yopi L take

[barren sequoia]

I pray to god we end up seeing the giant snail guy in pharloom

[molten pewter]

i remember when someone said “Hollow Knight should get a 25% off at it’s price of 20 dollars.”

[fiery burrow]

Lace is kinda simple looking but she's fine imo

More void eyes is always a treat

[barren sequoia]

She looks like a mushroom

[proud crow]

so that means its either embrace the void or dream no more ending that is canon

[wheat sail]

I like the miner bugs mining

[nimble radish]

do you think lace is a mushroom
I do

[fiery burrow]

It can continue off of all of them

[opaque sigil]

The giant snail wouldn’t have fit

[fickle ivy]

Lace is void

[nimble radish]

she can be both

[slate wagon]

she’s literally string in a trench coat

[proud crow]

oooo maybe like the walking dead games where it changes story based on your save file in previous game?

[urban ermine]

Lace looks like a tick

[opaque sigil]

Lace is mister mushroom’s apprentice and the writer of the ke tablet

[barren sequoia]

But hes a chill ass snail

[unkempt pawn]

I wonder if they continue the story of Mr Mushroom

[fiery burrow]

Method for Hornet to exit the Black Egg in SeSi. Pharloom's story is also seperate from Hallownest so there is no reason for it to call back to any ending

[proud crow]

mr mushroom is just a meme character

[barren sequoia]

Make it so we can at least find his shell or something

[slate wagon]

100% they do

[neon adder]

Nah. Mr. Mushroom is god

[nimble radish]

✅?

[molten pewter]

Nah

He’s cool

[opaque sigil]

Mister Mushroom doesn’t really have his own story he just watches others’

[barren sequoia]

What happens if you take a bite out of mr.mushroom

[fiery burrow]

What about Larry and co.

[slate wagon]

that’s a story right there smh

[fickle ivy]

I feel like Silksong continues from Embrace the Void lorewise. It is the only ending without an actual conclusion

[neon adder]

You get high and then you die

[proud crow]

you get on mushrooms

[uncut citrus]

@olive bobcat THE STICKER

NOOO WHY DONT I HAVE NITRO

[fiery burrow]

Ew

[uncut citrus]

i need the sticker rn......

[fiery burrow]

embrace the void is terrible

[proud crow]

dream no more makes more sense since all the vessels die in it

[neon adder]

I think it continues from delicate flower

[molten pewter]

Sounds good

[proud crow]

in embrace the void pure vessel lives

[barren sequoia]

Even with all endings supposed to be cannon I feel like dream no more is universally considered the best one right?

[molten pewter]

Oh

[fiery burrow]

It is

[proud crow]

maybe pure vessel will be an ally in silksong?

[opaque sigil]

That’s the worst possible option

[plucky sparrow]

was there an indie direct or something

[fiery burrow]

ETV isn't too different but there's also THK being alive which probably isn't ideal for it

[proud crow]

no news

[plucky sparrow]

idk why im asking i dont expect

[molten pewter]

Yes

[sick elm]

Developer comment: All endings are canon

According to Team Cherry, all endings are equally canon.

@tammo6424 used /dev-comments source: Reddit name: All endings are canon

[proud crow]

i love the mimikyu skin mod for the knight

[fickle ivy]

nah, EtV is the coolest. But DNM is the most beautiful

[neon adder]

No
Embrace the void is the best I think

[plucky sparrow]

ty

[molten pewter]

i love the gun mod

[fiery burrow]

Coolness is beautiful

[proud crow]

no, the void eats all of hallownest

[opaque sigil]

Also they’ve made it pretty clear that ss is meant to be very independent, it’s not going to continue from any of the endings period

[plucky sparrow]

i cannot believe quality of ancient aspid mod

[neon adder]

OOP sorry
Delicate flower

[fiery burrow]

Yeah it sucks

[barren sequoia]

With dream no more we actually see the vessels reach peace though

[opaque sigil]

It doesn’t

[proud crow]

that is the best ending yea

[plucky sparrow]

damn rly

[opaque sigil]

EtV is dnm but sloppy

[unkempt pawn]

No more Mr Mushroom😫

[fiery burrow]

Its alright for a fanboss but there's some bs damage you can take

[plucky sparrow]

havent played it but it looks rly well made?

[proud crow]

i want some returning characters in silksong ngl

[uncut citrus]

me

[fickle ivy]

ok, I admit I just hope we can get to woop Shade Lord's butt in Silksong. You all called my bluff

[uncut citrus]

i will be returning in silksong

[plucky sparrow]

yeah the difficulty seems unfair

[proud crow]

at least like 1-3 enemies that are back

[nimble radish]

hornet

[neon adder]

Mr Mushroom is coming

[plucky sparrow]

but art matches team cherry

[proud crow]

when?

[neon adder]

HOLY CRAP

[uncut citrus]

7 december

[opaque sigil]

Nah HK enemy quality is awful

[fiery burrow]

Goombas

[plucky sparrow]

so true

[proud crow]

i hope they add primal aspids to silksong 😈

[neon adder]

I mean yeah

[neon adder]

Delectable

[nimble radish]

there is one enemy that is exactly a goomba

[plucky sparrow]

lazy cherry trying to add more than 2 attacks to their enemies

[fickle ivy]

compared to most metroidvanias, Hollow Knight ai is pretty average

[proud crow]

why do u think that? i think most of the enemies are unique and fun

[opaque sigil]

Because the genre in general is bad at mob enemies

[proud crow]

other than deepnest creatures, they all suck

[plucky sparrow]

but they have evolved to be protected against stomping

[fiery burrow]

Deepnest creatures have the interest of being horrifying. Most of the enemies are just bland with 1 or 2 attacks

[proud crow]

i hope silksong wont have a whole dark area like deepnest

[nimble radish]

deepnest has some pretty fun enemies I think
both stalking devout and what's it's name are fun

[neon adder]

You know what? I always felt that as soon as I got HK, SS would release but I’m going to get it

[opaque sigil]

Deepnest enemies can also chase you around and are aggressive which is good for that area

[plucky sparrow]

handful of attacks and simple ai

[proud crow]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-christian-bale-handsome-gif-13379950

bruh

[plucky sparrow]

it works well in encounters like colloseum but everywhere else meh

[nimble radish]

epic embed fail

[fickle ivy]

my mans looking for fighting game tier basic enemies in a platformer

[nimble radish]

(new knight moment)

I'll just imagine christian bale looking handsome

[proud crow]

how to get embed perms

[opaque sigil]

No I’m looking for more than the same enemy that just walks at you throughout most of the game

[urban ermine]

they got jack vine coding things now so maybe they will be able to make more complex ai for some enemies

[plucky sparrow]

silksong enemies look perfect, im (not) looking for too much just a little variation in moves

[neon adder]

That’s the fun part
You don’t

[barren sequoia]

I mran we've already seen them be more complex no?

[fiery burrow]

Wait 3 hours

[neon adder]

That’s what Crowsworn is for

[barren sequoia]

They can dodge back now and actually react to hornet

[opaque sigil]

We have, and edge makes it clear that’s a priority

[nimble radish]

[proud crow]

will silksong release on xbox one

[mint arrow]

Hi guys I think my discord is broken, I haven’t seen any notifications in hs announcements chanell

[proud crow]

or just playstation

[plucky sparrow]

day 1

[plucky sparrow]

if u can trust them at this point

free on gamepass

[proud crow]

yooo

[fickle ivy]

did we even play the same game? there are projectile enemies, weapon enemies, shielded enemies, melee immune enemies, hazard enemies, platform enemies, flying enemies, exploding enemies. You make it sound like you never left King's Pass

[plucky sparrow]

funny how u asked that we have known silksong will release on xbox for years but plasystation only recently

[proud crow]

btw the only reason i joined is to download mods

[fiery burrow]

TC creating a shielded enemy for 2 rooms and then never using it again:

What the devils is a platform enemy

[proud crow]

oh also, will there be vessels and void creatures in silksong

[slate wagon]

uhm ackshally

[nimble radish]

those are in the colosseum too

[opaque sigil]

The projectile enemies all behave the same, shielded enemies are just weapon enemies that sometimes can’t be hit from the front, ‘platforming enemies’ like durandoos aren’t at all relevant

[barren sequoia]

Team cherry should make a flagship console exclusive for xbox

[plucky sparrow]

yea they all just do 1 thing

[opaque sigil]

And belflies are just annoying

[fiery burrow]

That would be lame

[nimble radish]

yeah hornet

[fickle ivy]

You know those durian looking bugs in the acid you gotta pogo on in greenpath?

[plucky sparrow]

hornet

[fiery burrow]

Yeah I remember

[quartz cave]

hiiii chat are we still cringe

[barren sequoia]

Vessels probably not but people think the void is going to appear

[proud crow]

hornet isnt void

[proud crow]

is that a void creature

[plucky sparrow]

[opaque sigil]

They’re not a part of mob combat

[fiery burrow]

It is not

[marsh wadi]

Man. Silksong ain’t ever coming out

[fiery burrow]

Just has a funny looking attack

[barren sequoia]

I enjoy the void is like an oil deposit theory

[plucky sparrow]

wow is that official never seen it

[slate wagon]

ok but like is his nose an actual nose or is it always just a tendril sticking straight out

[opaque sigil]

You may as well argue for maskflies being enemy diversity

[barren sequoia]

Dead bugs=void
