sk-discussion

[coarse leaf]

its just that the development is sloe as fuck

slow*

slow as a snail

[oblique musk]

Inb4 Leth pops in and says something like "oh shit we forgot to add that we're gonna have to delay that release date"
And then we're gonna say "what release date mr Leth"
And he will say nothing

[versed pollen]

Yea he will surely do this

[stoic sigil]

Leth killed my wife's boyfriend

[lone crown]

8 years in the making is genuinely crazy

[echo fjord]

[versed pollen]

It's not like all of that 8 years was full development time though

[lone crown]

Tbf the first couple were making hk expansions simultaneously

Yeah

But still

It's genuinely cool

[carmine island]

Leth stole my partner and is holding them in his evil lair on a volcano

[oblique musk]

Interstellar told me anything that can happen will happen if enough time is allowed to pass, and we have no shortage of that.

Leth killed my grandma, okay! Now leave me alone.

[lone crown]

Just want to see how major of a rival Sharpe truly is

[coarse leaf]

im gonna be married, father of 2, living a happy life in a house on the mountains, and silksong will still be "in development"

[stoic sigil]

Silksong is canceled after Jack Vine tied a particularly attractive woman to a train track while twirling a comically large mustache

[lone crown]

With a bowler hat on

[stoic sigil]

Yes my bad

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/villain-traintracks-dastardly-mustache-gif-6054590

[lone crown]

Hmmm

[gray parcel]

or

play another game

[digital junco]

this does not contradict that

[marsh ibex]

I don’t think you’ll be married
other stuff maybe

[humble zephyr]

dang why would you think that

[heady iron]

bro is gonna be a bastard father of 2 😭

[coarse leaf]

likely

i just wish team cherry wasnt so slow

i know they want to give us a quality game but come on man it doesn't have to be the best in the world

[marsh ibex]

Gugu does not seem to be the type of man to settle down with a wife.

[full rune]

bait used to be believable or something like that

[atomic sparrow]

belief used to be baitable or smth like that

[heady iron]

it does have to be the best

[lone crown]

It better fucking be the best

This is likely the last hollow knight we're ever getting

[heady iron]

they have to spend more time to be the best to match expectations so they have to spend more time to be the best to match expectations so they have to

[opaque sigil]

ss is gonna be eh

marked improvement from hk's bleh

[lone crown]

Today we win

[heady iron]

if it isn't perfect mods will make it so

cause the benchmark of a good game is based on its difficulty

[lone crown]

[slow imp]

bro this is fucking atupid

first team cherry basically trolls us and now earthblade is canceled

can this month get any worse for me

[lone crown]

[opaque sigil]

one out of two

better than most ig

only 50% making things up

[heady iron]

the extinction-sized asteroid careening towards the Earth:

[lone crown]

My analogy proves to be accurate time and time again

[slow imp]

also i’ve officially left twitter

[opaque sigil]

what analogy

[slow imp]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[lone crown]

#sk-discussion message

[slow imp]

hk and celeste fans have it rough rn

and as a fan of both

[young saffron]

Earth blade cancelled wtf 😭

[slow imp]

i am suffering internally

[opaque sigil]

eeeeeeeeeeeeh

[slow imp]

[slow imp]

yeah…

[lone crown]

TC: does nothing

[slow imp]

also TC: “lol guys cake was a lie”

[opaque sigil]

the subreddit hearing voices in their heads

[cobalt hill]

Team Cherry is like 3 people, right? Considering that, I don’t think Silksong has been in development for too egregiously long.

It’s the lack of communication that bothers me

[slow imp]

that’s what we’re all saying lol

[lone crown]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

[slow imp]

its been in development for like nearly 6 years now

[opaque sigil]

there's nothing of value they have to say

[lone crown]

Team cherry doesnt give updates anymore because:

1. They’ve shown us enough of the game already
2. Not even they have a release date at the moment, they’ll tell us one when they’re ready
3. All they could say without revealing any more content are the same things Leth tells us

[lone crown]

8*

[slow imp]

oh right

[rain pagoda]

imagine the cake was real and they didnt thought anyone could reach that point

[woeful matrix]

wait what

[slow imp]

well yea 8 years

[rain pagoda]

🤡

[woeful matrix]

how long has it been developing for

since hk release??

[rain pagoda]

2025 is the year

[slow imp]

possibly the longest wait for most anticipated thing ever

[rain pagoda]

7

[woeful matrix]

gta 6

[lone crown]

It's an eight year old project at this point, granted the first couple they were simultaneously making the HK expansions

[rain pagoda]

i think

[slow imp]

or that

even longer than gd 2.2 lol

[lone crown]

It's 8

[rain pagoda]

about hk

no ss

[young saffron]

2017-2025

[woeful matrix]

oh wow

[rain pagoda]

not*

[woeful matrix]

cool

[lone crown]

One of the backer bosses for silksong was shown even before hollow knight released

[slow imp]

either way moral of the story, developing a second game as an indie studio is rough

[weary tapir]

Just had to teach my friend who is a college senior the difference between “rapped” and “wrapped”

[young saffron]

TISO I think

[lone crown]

Sharpe*

[young saffron]

Oh I'm dumb

[woeful matrix]

moral of the story: making games is hard

[cobalt hill]

Updates themselves are important though. For maintaining the game’s community and overall interest in the game.

If they can’t give updates without breaking these rules, I think they should start breaking the rules

[opaque sigil]

I don't think sharpe was shown prior but he was planned prior

[opaque sigil]

no they aren't

[woeful matrix]

who is sharpe

i foegot

[lone crown]

He was shown prior, I talked about it earlier

[cobalt hill]

Almost a decade in, I think some spoilers are tolerable

[young saffron]

Silver dude

[slow imp]

for sure, but it gets much harder after you make something so successful

[slate wagon]

whip nose man

[opaque sigil]

nah

[heady iron]

buttbuttin bug

[opaque sigil]

there's literally no point in putting out spoilers just don't bother

[lone crown]

Kickstarter update #50, early february within the same month HK dropped

[cobalt hill]

Maintaining interest?

The community’s starting to turn sour. That’s not good

[opaque sigil]

interest is maintained

[marble creek]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-hollow-knight-silksong-gif-16075047530947414312

[opaque sigil]

not goin anywhere

[lone crown]

Hell no. We're likely never getting another Hollow Knight again, why spoil their best work yet

[woeful matrix]

i think for other games spoilers like that is great but not for ss because its a metriodvania and the whole point is to discover stuff

[heady iron]

ugly jesus vs mummy 2 is right there

[woeful matrix]

it ruins the whole point of the genre imo

[slow imp]

altho yk… even if ss never comes out, hk is still peak in my heart

[lone crown]

We've seen 76 different enemies/enemy variations already 😭

[slow imp]

even tho the game came out 8 years ago, i still care a lot about the game

[young saffron]

Ugh that's only half

[cobalt hill]

Good point

[marble creek]

i dont think ss is a thing anyway

[slow imp]

it isn’t

[opaque sigil]

it's less than half but it's definitely a lot

[slow imp]

…maybe the real ss are the friends we made along the way

[lone crown]

There's definitely a lot more, the ones I counted are likely just variations of one enemy (like classified groups, such as shrumal husks)

[marble creek]

https://tenor.com/view/memes-smashing-pc-breaking-keyboard-radge-gif-26483855

[cobalt hill]

I was thinking they could show new areas without revealing how they connect or whatever. But even that would take away from finding them

[coral prawn]

Huh?

[slow imp]

either way it fucking sucks that i got slapped with harsh news about two upcoming games from indie studios that made games im a huge fan of, but what can u do

[woeful matrix]

if tc wanted to do spoilers for ss there is def a way to do them without ruining the fun of exploration

but

[slow imp]

besides pokemon go better LMAO

[opaque sigil]

there's no harsh news about silksong

[cobalt hill]

harsh lack of news

[slate wagon]

the harsh news is that it isn’t in my hands

[lone crown]

I mean one of the "news" was inflated with misinformation and mass hysteria which unfortunately confused many people

[opaque sigil]

that's not harsh it's completely normal

[woeful matrix]

thats the point there's no news

[cobalt hill]

I was joking

[lone crown]

You aren't entitled to updates, tough pill to swallow

They'll remain silent cause they can

[slow imp]

well its still news for me regardless

[young saffron]

Have they actually violated?

[stuck stratus]

So no updates? 😦

[slow imp]

especially since its probably the first time they spoke in like 2 yrs

[opaque sigil]

that's very silly

[opaque sigil]

it's not that twitter account has been doing that for years

[cobalt hill]

We’re not entitled to anything. I do want things though

[young saffron]

Silent for 7 years is overexaggerating

I can't spell btw

[opaque sigil]

no

[shell yacht]

Only one?

[lone crown]

We already knew william had a personal account for years, he'd tweet the most random phrases as jokes on a weekly basis or so

[young saffron]

All*

[lone crown]

The other one is in reference to the cancelled earthwhatever

Forgot what its called

[slow imp]

earthblade

[lone crown]

Earthblade?

Yeah

[shell yacht]

Earthmid

[heady iron]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-violence-earthmover-gif-9147879473446682423

[young saffron]

Tbh it looked horrible

If I'm being honest

[lone crown]

Yeah i agree tbh

[young saffron]

I only cared for it since it was made by Celeste devs

[shell yacht]

The art looked pretty but the concept gameplay was bad

[carmine island]

@quiet token i did it!!!!!!!

[young saffron]

This gives us more opportunity for Celeste 2

[slow imp]

well i didn’t lol
but i guess i’m just too out of touch with tc stuff 😭

also nah i was lowkey excited for earthblade

[young saffron]

He spoke about Whale glands

[lone crown]

Regardless i know it sucks to be misled or lulled into false expectations

So I feel you

But it's not TC's fault

[slow imp]

yea…
it was so absurd that the funny muppet dude arlo made a vid about it :(

sometimes i wish tc was as communicative as robtop or toby fox

[heady iron]

please direct all complaints to the official fireb0rn complaint channel

[vivid belfry]

damn, very impressive death count

[slow imp]

also a celeste 2 does technically exist rn

[young saffron]

Wdym

[slow imp]

celeste 64, released last year for the game’s 6th anniversary

[lone crown]

That one strawberry jam mod is peak

[woeful matrix]

peak

[young saffron]

Oh yeah that

They actually made celeste 64 good

[slow imp]

REAL

[woeful matrix]

she looks so silly in it

[slow imp]

celeste 64 unironically is the best 3d platformer i ever played

[stone siren]

Do you think team cherry will respond to the contact attempt on their Discord profile? It would be cool to have hollow knight decorations

[carmine island]

i spent a few hours yesterday and the day before trying to beat him so that number is very incorrect as a total lol

[lone crown]

[stoic sigil]

Leth was a COWARD and rejected them

[woeful matrix]

bro

always just a little faster

[lone crown]

I'm faster, accept defeat

[vivid belfry]

okay good because I had like 200 hours of playtime going into P-2 for the first time and still ended up getting almost 100 deaths

[stone siren]

Sorry, I got the wrong channel lol

[lone crown]

Huh

[vivid belfry]

granted that was for unparriable sisyphus but whatever

[lone crown]

I dont have ultrakill yet WAHHHHHH

[slow imp]

w actually

[vivid belfry]

ultrakill currently easily sitting at my #2 of all time spot

[opaque sigil]

skissue

[lone crown]

You can parry a giant fist apparently. That's all I needed to know

[opaque sigil]

have you played echo point nova? It's not as good as ultrakill but it makes it look fuckin glacial

[slow imp]

guys y’all should play pokemon go

[subtle flint]

Predicted 15cm snow this night

[coral prawn]

I am so sorry for that😭

[young saffron]

Lucky?

[coral prawn]

Lucky there is no snow where I am

[woeful matrix]

whats that in american

[shell yacht]

Mines gon melt tmrw probly

[coral prawn]

But my train did get canceld for like probably all day😔

[lone crown]

I have the premonition of something special within the next 24h

[sinful flare]

SGM-1000 OHIORIZZER

[woeful matrix]

damn 6inch of snow is a lot

[vivid belfry]

there's no way that's true

[woeful matrix]

we get school canceled over like 3 inches lmao

[vivid belfry]

ultrakill straight up does not have a skill ceiling

[sacred sluice]

sup guys

[slow imp]

i got like 6 inches of snow when I was in portland, maine over the weekend

[stoic sigil]

New Knight

[sacred sluice]

ye

[stoic sigil]

Come back when you're RICH smh

[woeful matrix]

2025 and we a new knight

Wait shit

Nevermind

[sacred sluice]

My name its a spanish youtuber

[woeful matrix]

i played the ultrakill demo and it was like alr

[lone crown]

Have you seen the hitless punch/parry-only all-bosses run

[woeful matrix]

i don get the hype for it tbh

[quiet token]

also ENDER MAGNOLIA HAS RELEASED IT'S REAL

[carmine island]

oh btw i didnt do the gauntlet leading up to sisyphus on this attempt

[vivid belfry]

it's got more air control but ultrakill's phrenetic gameplay mostly comes from its batshit insane weapon swap combos

[opaque sigil]

yeah the weapons are less interesting it's just way faster

[vivid belfry]

however this does look like it scratches the same itch as early game ultrakill, which is basically a different game

you have to aim the gun? what the fuck

[opaque sigil]

[final breach]

it was a joke

oopsies

wait mods can i swear in here?

[opaque sigil]

they're also mostly not hitscan

[subtle flint]

Thank god, don't think we got alot of snow

[vivid belfry]

yes

[carmine island]

after you beat panopticon a shortcut opens up and you can go stright to it then to sisyphus

[subtle flint]

🙏

[vivid belfry]

yeah, good change

[subtle flint]

Fuck yeah we got none

[vivid belfry]

brutal P-2 P rank is probably the second hardest thing I've ever done in a videogame

[carmine island]

What’s crazy is my cat walked in front of my monitor when he was pretty low and I still won lmao

[coral prawn]

You win some and you lose some I guess

[cunning geode]

well whats the first

[vivid belfry]

Hollow knight

Wait

I didn't read the message you responded to

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/kurtis-conner-thisis-serious-serious-black-fact-checking-insane-articles-written-about-me-gif-22155779

[vivid belfry]

I accidentally answered correctly anyway, it's Pantheon of Hallownest all bindings

[cunning geode]

yeah pretty hard

[young saffron]

How do you even do all bindings, it's so slow

[cunning geode]

tenacity

[vivid belfry]

I needed to prove that I'm Him

[opaque sigil]

self hatred

nobody with any self respect would do collector ab in p5

[cunning geode]

i think BTSX Map24 on UV+ is far up there for hardest video game thing ive done

dunno if its exactly top

map20 of Sunder is also up there

absolutely unhinged bullshit

[barren sequoia]

Was watxjing the demo again and god moss grotto looks beautiful

I hope its not just a beginning area and has some actual meat to it

[warped rock]

Listening to christmas music in late January. Feelsgoodman

[coral prawn]

Eww

[cunning geode]

better be the grinch

[young saffron]

Seems to be hidden items,
A weavers door
A quest item

[barren sequoia]

I doubt they would pull off another crossroads gimmick but it'd be nice for it have to something

[young saffron]

So yeah don't think it's gonna be a useless area past the tutorial

[barren sequoia]

Thats good at least

[unborn dome]

it's slow but it's not really that bad

[barren sequoia]

Theres also the clover looking <sub area>

[unborn dome]

like if you can beat normal p5 consistently you should be able to do all bindings pretty easy

[woeful matrix]

if we get something like infected crossroads with the moss area in ss

im gonna be so sad

[barren sequoia]

Changing areas would be a cool gimmick but yeah nothing on the scale of crossroads

Another thing I'm thinking of is how they're gonna implement required bosses/objectives

Hk had the dreamers and stuff

[lone crown]

Objectives definitely seem to be at least loosely connected to song

Like the songshrines

One is after lace 1

I believe its called the wild songshrine, that specific room

[woeful matrix]

i think its really interesting how all hk are endings are canon to ss

[lone crown]

Coral area/moss grotto burnt by the flames of the nearby forest of bones

No Unn to protect the overgrowth this time

[woeful matrix]

ig hallownest jsut has no impact on pharloom then

[woeful matrix]

that makes sense

i wonder if pharloom has higher beings too

[lone crown]

They’re all canon and Silksong’s introduction will be such a way that what happened in-between is ambiguous

Its possible for the events of silksong to happen from any ending

[barren sequoia]

Yeah that seems like a pretty good way to gate progression

Reminds me of links awakening

[woeful matrix]

yep i think its cool how they did that

[lone crown]

Even sealed siblings which was a hotly contested thing back in the old days of this chat

[barren sequoia]

Gotta collect all of the musical instruments

[woeful matrix]

radiance ending: infection gone, hornet not affected
thk ending: infection sealed, hornet not affected
sealed siblings: infection maybe released???, hornet not affected, seal breaking bug frees her

[lone crown]

Yeah

[woeful matrix]

idk about the godhome endings they dont make sense

[lone crown]

Godhome endings unironically have a better outcome but they’re stupid so i ignore thel

I say better because thk lives

And i feel bad for thk

[woeful matrix]

fr

he didnt deserve it

[lone crown]

The goat

[woeful matrix]

forced to have feelings and stuff and then just trapped in an egg not even being able to hold the infection properly

[barren sequoia]

It feels weird that those are the dlc endings because they honestly seem like the worst to connect the stories with

Dlcs often contain the true or best ending

[lone crown]

Yeah

[woeful matrix]

but like

what effect does godhome have on the real world

is it a dream world?

or just another place

[lone crown]

It’s a dream world

Killing radiance in godhome is like killing the radiance in thk. Which i find extremely stupid

[warped rock]

#hk-lore

[unborn dome]

creates a void god, kills real radiance through dream shenanigans and freeing the hollow knight

[warped rock]

godhome is literally just "okay what if we did this because it's cool"

[woeful matrix]

yeah

i dont think it affects the story at all

irrelevant

[barren sequoia]

Really wish the kickstarter had hit the void expansion

[lone crown]

Especially the nailmasters/sly

They did it for the purpose of being cool

[barren sequoia]

Feel like the knights void god form was probably from that

[lone crown]

Oh and peak vessel

[warped rock]

okay well those were good cool things

[lone crown]

Yeah those are good

[woeful matrix]

i want ss to expand on void stuff but no way they do it because hornet isnt void

[barren sequoia]

Pure vessel is best fight in the game

[woeful matrix]

nkg

[lone crown]

Really wish they’d hit the third playable character so we could get another game

Pure vessel is better than nkg imo

[barren sequoia]

We might hear of it and the radiance tbh

[woeful matrix]

zotes mighty adventure

[barren sequoia]

Unless hornet really does not have her memories

[warped rock]

bad cool thing is like the knight becoming the strongest thing to ever exist and kill the real radiance somehow through godhome's stupid ritual and like why what does that add to anything

[woeful matrix]

radiance wont be heard of because all endings are canon

[lone crown]

It gains new moves throughout the fight unlike nkg who has pufferfish intermissions instead

[barren sequoia]

But due to hornet beinf able to converse what she knows, they could pop up in conversation

[woeful matrix]

maybe through like legends of it

but i dont think so

[warped rock]

well like the knight can't hold rad forever

[lone crown]

Still love nkg though, literally Dracula

[warped rock]

in the hollow knight ending and sealed siblings

[surreal remnant]

only really relevant to hallownest

[barren sequoia]

I must imagine the knight is going to be mentioned by hornet

[surreal remnant]

probably not

[lone crown]

Radiance doesnt give a fuck about other kingdoms most likely

[surreal remnant]

because that would near necessitate deciding on one single ending, which they seem wholly against doing

[woeful matrix]

i think hallownest will have 0 effect on pharloom

[barren sequoia]

Either they themselves or all of the vessels themselves

[warped rock]

iroh yoy came just in time to hate on godhome

[woeful matrix]

because all endings are canon

[surreal remnant]

well some effect, given the weavers moved to pharloom

[surreal remnant]

fuck godhome lore

[woeful matrix]

oh fr

thats cool

[lone crown]

Also if radiance was back in some way then that would invalidate dream no more/embrace the void i think

[barren sequoia]

We're probably gonna get more characterization of hornet and her thoughts on what happened in hallownes

[surreal remnant]

they most likely will just stay as far away from mentioning hallownest as possible

[barren sequoia]

Be it just because she doesnr want the same fate to befall upon pharloom

[surreal remnant]

the more you mention hallownest the more you’re forced to be deterministic on HK’s ending

[woeful matrix]

radiance ending: infection gone and radiance, hornet not affected
thk ending: infection sealed, hornet not affected
sealed siblings: infection maybe released, hornet not affected, seal breaking bug frees her

[surreal remnant]

they also wanted to make SS in such a way that you don’t have to play HK for SS to make sense

[woeful matrix]

they seem to be pretty different ill be real

the combat and stuff

[barren sequoia]

Hornet is the last remaining heir of hallownest except for the godhome endings right?

[surreal remnant]

well there isn’t ever a clear rule for succession

[lone crown]

The most I could see them do is have nods to characters not native to Hallownest who were originally from another kingdom (potentially ones like Pharloom), as well as obviously the confirmation that Weavers are back (Pharloom is their home). A grimm troupe reference is possible but I doubt it’ll be a fully-fledged thing since the kingdom isn’t fully dead

[surreal remnant]

especially given PK planned on ruling forever

[barren sequoia]

Because the thk specifically lives in only those 2

[surreal remnant]

and the kingdom is basically entirely dead with few omissions

[smoky nebula]

That's the problem with god kings

[lone crown]

Like imagine if we saw Boon from the Hollow Knight comic. Quirrel and Boon went their separate ways, it’d be super cool

[barren sequoia]

In hk you can follow the path of succession

[woeful matrix]

you think the higher beings of hallownest will be mentioned at all in pharloom

[barren sequoia]

Even looting his corpse and taking the kings brand

[surreal remnant]

probably not

[woeful matrix]

like theres no way the gods of one area just dont affect anything else

[surreal remnant]

given they’re all either very tied to hallownest, or dead, or sealed, or near death

[smoky nebula]

Obviously the herald will appear

[barren sequoia]

I feel like with specifically thr weavers and hornet being in pharloom at the same time hallownest has to be brought up

[lone crown]

There’s at least one Higher Being who likely might, and it’s the mysterious Lifeblood Creature

[woeful matrix]

what higher being is that

ive never heard ofit

[surreal remnant]

Unn is in no position to spread any influence, PK ded, rad is schrödinger’s cat atm, white lady is sealed, LoS is either non existent or in the abyss

[lone crown]

Its not mentioned to be a Higher Being but it’s very very likely to be one considering it has its own essence and secret in Godhome

[barren sequoia]

Both calling it their home for like however long the timeline is, and finally reuniting after so long

[smoky nebula]

Nightmare heart is also Schrodinger's cat

[lone crown]

You only can find it twice in the game, and it’s super hard to miss as it’s in the background, let me send them to you

[barren sequoia]

The weavers probably dont even know the state of hallownest

[woeful matrix]

alr

[surreal remnant]

it’s an unconfirmed HB with little to no substantiation for it to be a higher being, but also no substantiation for it not to be a higher being

[barren sequoia]

Unless the one we see in game was sent out to see how it was

[woeful matrix]

ok wait so why did the little guys come to get hornet

do we know

[barren sequoia]

No idea

[surreal remnant]

not at all

[barren sequoia]

They simply have her by some point in time

[woeful matrix]

oh thats really cool

[barren sequoia]

It'll certainly be explained though

[smoky nebula]

They probably want dat silk

[surreal remnant]

i have a love hate relationship with this character

[barren sequoia]

I have money on her leaving on her own volition and then being kidnapped

[woeful matrix]

but theres no way they went only for hornet, it mustve been something else and they found hornet too

[surreal remnant]

for one, i love it, it looks so cool and mysterious, and two, IT MANAGES TO GET MENTIONED IN EVERY GODDAMN LORE CONVO

it’s magic, i swear

[barren sequoia]

Either due to hks weird sentience thing or simply being too weak

[woeful matrix]

ok wait no now im confused, because if ss is a true ending they had to break the seal

but if dnm is also a true ending then they couldve just found her

[surreal remnant]

the dreamer seal, yes, but not rad’s seal

[woeful matrix]

wtf bro

[surreal remnant]

the seal hornet makes in Sealed siblings is exclusively a physical seal to keep unwanted individuals out

the only thing containing rad is the vessel’s mind

[warped rock]

First it intrudes on the lifeblood core dream, then godhome, then everybody's mind

[surreal remnant]

they’re basically just not gonna say how hornet got out, but they do give us the possibility via the seal breaking bugs for hornet to end up in pharloom regardless of the ending

[lone crown]

TC said they had the chance to bring back unused ideas from HK to SS in their details video back during the silksong announcement, therefore I hope this idea returns

[woeful matrix]

for all endings to be true then their intentions for getting hornet/whatever they want makes no sense

[lone crown]

Not the exact design ofc but something like it

[young saffron]

Cool

[woeful matrix]

unless theres something in the bet they want

[surreal remnant]

they just wont specify why hornet was captured or how

[young saffron]

I remember asking graig, he told the community hasn't discovered alot of lore

Althought this was 2 years ago iirc

[woeful matrix]

yayyy

[carmine island]

I hope the underwater stuff comes back

[surreal remnant]

either they just nabbed her easy peasy, or they used seal breaking bugs, they won’t specify which

[lone crown]

They wont specify how, but definitely why

[carmine island]

Well technically underacid

[surreal remnant]

yes, that is more accurate to what i meant

i am very sleep deprived and will now go sleep

gn chat

[lone crown]

Gn

[young saffron]

Gn iroh

[woeful matrix]

the why makes even less sense they gonna have to be so vauge abt it

[lone crown]

I hope, Hornet would look majestic diving underwater

[carmine island]

Silksong diving competition

[woeful matrix]

idk maybe hornet is like special or smth and known throughout the world

idek atp

[lone crown]

Like a contrail of bubbles following her as she dives after sprinting and leaping into a lake

[opaque sigil]

hk and ss are largely separate stories it's not like the plot of the first will constantly be relevant to the point where tc will have to write around it

hornet just

won't mention shit that isn't relevant

[lone crown]

Yeah

Only thing she’s said directly referencing the past was like “ive lacked for my usual tools” or smth

[barren sequoia]

I feel like at least the knight and the death of the queen will be brought up

Because thats a constant no matter the playthrough

And its relevant to the weavers

[lone crown]

I wouldnt mind Hornet reflecting on her mother or something

[woeful matrix]

hornet will have to be really careful with what she says abt the knight to make sure that all the endings are true

like

[young saffron]

Reflecting on the knight is ehh but reflecting on her mother's death is cool

[opaque sigil]

nah that won't really be an issue

[young saffron]

How would they connect hk endings to silksongs? Kinda confused on that

[woeful matrix]

the knight disapeared: ss/normal ending not true
the knight was sealed: dnm isnt true

[woeful matrix]

all are canon

[barren sequoia]

Yeah but I do think the knight will be brought up alongside it

[opaque sigil]

not explicitly

[young saffron]

Doesn't hornet become a seal tho in sealed siblings

[barren sequoia]

Even as just a reference for his goal and what he was made for

[lone crown]

I’m just more interested in her hidden potential, why did pharloom cult find it so important to kidnap hornet, and how did they track her?

[barren sequoia]

Im certain its because of the pk

[woeful matrix]

seal breaking bug breaks her out

[barren sequoia]

She has silk powers and is half god

We dont know if other silkbugs can combine soul with their silk

But hornet can iirc

[carmine island]

?jokerpsa

[woeful matrix]

?tag info jokerpsa

[white sail]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgzlVc4LM4J6_DfuscZ4AaABCQ

No ending stops Hornet from being captured, and the ability to break seals with bugs from Pharloom makes Hornet being locked in the Black Egg not an issue. Dreamers also don’t die when sealed, we simply didn’t have the means to remove them without killing them.

[woeful matrix]

slammed

get better

[carmine island]

Aw

[lone crown]

Yeah i think weavers specialize in the silk and soul fusion, likely why they’re held captive in Pharloom

[young saffron]

Interesting

[woeful matrix]

wait hornet can use soul

where is that shown

[lone crown]

Pale king himself studied silk from what we can assume via environmental storytelling

[young saffron]

I thought this was a joke and didn't understand lmao

[woeful matrix]

know you get it?

[young saffron]

Yep

[opaque sigil]

well he was mostly a soul guy, it's like a god of lightning using copper to make automata

[lone crown]

Yeah

[smoky nebula]

Talos reference

[woeful matrix]

nier automata refrence

[barren sequoia]

I think silk might be one of the best conduits for spells

Or at least wards

[lone crown]

I mean Hornet’s silk glows white if thats anything to go off of lmao, I think its her method of channeling soul. It’s not unlikely

If characters like soul master can use soul, so can hornet

[opaque sigil]

A blog post states it is her using soul

[woeful matrix]

oh

ok

[opaque sigil]

Her life force fused with her thread or something like that

[lone crown]

Leaving cocoon upon death is a cool detail

[barren sequoia]

Is the whole they contributed to the dreamers a theory or more like concrete

Ist mainly based off of the hornet seal we see isnt it

[lone crown]

Interesting, we find the same soul-infused silk scattered as webs/spools across pharloom hornet can use in-game

[woeful matrix]

maybe

[lone crown]

Were these left behind by weavers (or taken from them), or other things capable of making it

[woeful matrix]

silk is like a normal in lore

like how it is irl

[opaque sigil]

I’m inclined to assume weavers

[woeful matrix]

but with soul it changes or smth

[smoky nebula]

Silk is really fuckin strong irl

[lone crown]

Weaver revolution please

Conquer pharloom

[smoky nebula]

I mean
Who's to say the weavers haven't already done that and that's why everyone's being controlled by weird silk

[opaque sigil]

They’re kinda locked up

[smoky nebula]

A single backstabbing weaver could be behind everything

[lone crown]

We’ve seen like one stuck/fucked up/trapped/encased/whatever weaver before

Cant really tell

[opaque sigil]

Edge definitely implies it’s more than one

[barren sequoia]

They could be serving some sort of punishment as well

Just like the moths they mightve been created by some higher being

[woeful matrix]

with ss being so big theres prob going be lots of lore

like way too much lore

[barren sequoia]

They wouldve theoretically abandoned ir when they moved to hallownest

And once they had to return the god kinda fucked em

[woeful matrix]

i hope ss doesnt retcon any of hk lore

[young saffron]

Theyll end it with "it was all a dream" and hornet wakes up back in deepnest

[woeful matrix]

how incredible

[opaque sigil]

They would have to go out of their way to do that really

[pulsar kiln]

the cake pfp was so mean to do :(

[opaque sigil]

No it wasn’t it was perfectly innocuous and the community is insane

[woeful matrix]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitposting

[young saffron]

Nah we r kinda stupid

I say we cause I believed it too

[lone crown]

Other than rival characters who build story i hope there arent any repeat bosses

[young saffron]

It doesn't make sense to expect TC Devs to have to be walking on egg shells each time they post, it's kinda a selfish expectation

[woeful matrix]

same

[pulsar kiln]

i mean like a few years of barely any news ppl will grasp onto anything to fullfill their needs for silksong news

[opaque sigil]

Imo HK’s repeat bosses were generally pretty well justified

[barren sequoia]

Theres only like 3 magical tribes in hallowknight right?

[lone crown]

A lot of them were cool yeah

[cunning geode]

i wonder whose responsibility that is

[young saffron]

If I had to give a blame rating it would be 5% William 95% us

[woeful matrix]

the dream bosses were great

[opaque sigil]

Other than maybe enraged guardian and the soul warrior

[barren sequoia]

Snails moths and the weavers?

[lone crown]

Yeah

[woeful matrix]

wait what are you talking abt

what magic tribes

[young saffron]

Still our fault, this time it got more out of hand cause a ytber like fireborn posted about it

Obviously he's human so going after him for making a mistake is dumb

[woeful matrix]

but we got fireborn saying skibidiohiorizzler so its all good

[barren sequoia]

Most enemies we faced didnt like use magic

[pulsar kiln]

dat was funny

[barren sequoia]

Except the soul ones but that was learnt

Not inherently part of their culture

[woeful matrix]

yeah

now that i think of it

were there any magic enemies

[lone crown]

Magic is vague

Grimmkin flame magic

[woeful matrix]

yeah

[weary tapir]

I think my friends on a mission that only he himself can complete

[lone crown]

Soul sanctum enemies

Colosseum lightning dudes

[weary tapir]

Two days ago he completed the 4th pantheon

[lone crown]

Uumuu

[weary tapir]

He left call

And has not joined again

[barren sequoia]

But like we know the snails, moths and weavers did practice it as part of their culture

[weary tapir]

Once

[lone crown]

Pure vessel uses magic

[woeful matrix]

wed need to define magic in hk

[weary tapir]

He’s been playing the game like hours and hours a day

I think he’s just trying to complete pantheon 5

[lone crown]

Magic is vague

P5 took me three tries

[weary tapir]

It took me 2

My first I got to abs rad

I practiced abs rad

I won the next one

[barren sequoia]

I'm specifically just bringing up magic because it might be a trait of created tribes

[lone crown]

I was smart enough to practice the fights in hall of gods before wasting time on the pantheon to get rolled by an unexpected new fight/sequence

[barren sequoia]

One that were created by a higher beinf

[weary tapir]

Yeah this

If you just practice it’s not hard

[barren sequoia]

And the grimm troupe would also fit this as the nightmare heart

[woeful matrix]

ig using a higher beings power

thats magic

[weary tapir]

If you can radiant NKG and pure vessel you can do it

Easily

[barren sequoia]

That's tought though

Im meaning like specifically part of their culture

[lone crown]

Ah

[woeful matrix]

oh so like the snail shamans

[barren sequoia]

Because we dont really know enough about the snails to assume anything about them but both the grimm troupe and moths can use magic natively and were created directly by a god

So maybe you can theorize the same for the weavers

[weary tapir]

Do we know what happened to the backer submitted snail village

[woeful matrix]

i dint think so

gn

ima sleep

lots of tests tmrw

[barren sequoia]

A weaver/spider god would be cool honestly

You could reuse that giant spider dor it

[slate wagon]

i personally think SS should go without a lot of higher beings and such, they were every where in HK, and it would fit the theme of hornet being a lot more physical and grounded compared to Tk
at most i could see one or two relating to the citadel and whatever is going on with seth

[barren sequoia]

Yeah I think the spider god might be related to the citadel

Pharlooms folly could be related to it

[lone crown]

The bigger kickstarter backer tiers are in silksong

[barren sequoia]

I think its a bit more on the nose and not as like interesting as other possibilities but could really happen

[lone crown]

My guess is the custom village full of npcs/quests has to be the barnacle town area

With the hermit snail thing

We call him lömm the poop snail

[jade canopy]

[weary tapir]

Oh that thing

[jade canopy]

There is a lot of "we" and "will be" which seemed pulled out of nowhere

[lone crown]

Huh

Lömm was definitely the name everyone stuck with for that specific npc for ages

Like Henrick for the caravan bug, Jerry for the fast travel creature, etc

[smoky nebula]

We call the bellbeast jerry‽

[lone crown]

Well you don’t have to

[slate wagon]

lemms long lost brother

[lone crown]

celeste and hollow knight fans when the devs cancel the upcoming game 🤝

[slate wagon]

celeste 2 is a thing???

[lone crown]

They cancelled earthblade

[wheat sail]

whatever that metroidvania they were making

[lone crown]

Gameplay looked mid tbh

Gleamlight better

[jade canopy]

Metroidvania ? Wasn’t it a rogue like ?

[lone crown]

Idk idc

[wheat sail]

Damn see nobody knows

[jade canopy]

We hadn’t seen much of it tbh

[wheat sail]

It had as much news as silksong

Maybe it's a sign for ss

[jade canopy]

yawn

[wheat sail]

You don't have to tell us you're yawning pal

[lone crown]

We’ve got a ton of ss news what are you on about

[wheat sail]

And I have a ton of girlfriends

[jade canopy]

Announcing a silksong cancel would be so wack

[lone crown]

Two trailers tons of areas many npcs 76 enemies etc etc

A fucking magazine

[barren sequoia]

I mean silksong cant be canceled without team cherry being sued to high heaven no?

[wheat sail]

Maybe if that was all in a year

[lone crown]

Yeah cause backer stuff

[wheat sail]

Stretched over 6 years not very impressive

[barren sequoia]

With the gamepass and kickstarter deals, I feel like they're legally obligated

[slate wagon]

they would definitely face hell

[wheat sail]

Team cherry is prepping the apology then disappearing from the industry

[lone crown]

Also the hypothetical makes no sense. They actively enjoy making the game and are excited and passionate about it

[wheat sail]

According to....

[lone crown]

Them

Themselves

[slate wagon]

themselves
leth
graig

[lone crown]

Reread the blogposts, watch the details video made by them

[wheat sail]

Yes so they have an interest in you seeing them in a certain light

[lone crown]

They’re enthusiastic

[wheat sail]

Hmmmm

[barren sequoia]

Its also just destined to make them millions

[lone crown]

Bait is believable

[wheat sail]

Like how with Celeste devs they also used positive wording in their previous blog

[barren sequoia]

Not making silksong would be the stupidest decision they would make in their lives

Doesnt matter how much work it is

Genuine millions of dollars ehre

[wheat sail]

I'm just giving a pickle for the knowing ones

But "team cherry don't care about money!"

They love making games and love the fans being happy

😇

[barren sequoia]

I mean anyone faced with millions of dollars

Is takinf those millions

[wheat sail]

They should give it out for pennies on the dollar if they real

Team cherry never directly speaking themselves and only in 2 year old news articles means they're miserable currently

🤝

[barren sequoia]

Its a creative process

Everyone gets miserable during it

[wheat sail]

So there's a chance

😬

[barren sequoia]

Id they're actually miserable it just means they'll try to put it out fastwr

[wheat sail]

Like the Celeste devs

Maybe one of em will try to claim the IP rights too in the infighting

jk team cherry is doing fine and they are cooking

And after master there's always a PhD

[wheat sail]

stay in school until silksong

then drop out

[lucid holly]

how about this

i will continue my education until ss

so if i start my masters ill finish it

[lone crown]

You’re going to drop out within a month or so then

Because my prophecy is law

[unborn dome]

depending on what you're getting the phd in sometimes you just skip masters

[wheat sail]

Smart

[lone crown]

And I’m always correct

[lucid holly]

no i finish the current level im registered in

if ss never comes out im stuck in academia forever

[icy pumice]

Sorry I'm not from the US so it may be different

Remember that the person with the most degrees in the world works as a part-time parking attendant

[grand ferry]

ok then cannot be rely on gain STR when enemy attack

or inflame

[lucid holly]

im gonna stick with my 2 degrees and call it

There's just other ways to get str that isn't so expensive

You basically can't play much that turn besides demon form

Hello excuse me what the fuck? I didn't think the subreddit could spiral anymore than it already has. This is about to be another cake situation lmao

They r quite literally overrsatured here and hence underpaid like crazy

[wheat sail]

it givees so much for thje hp

energy AND card draw

[grand ferry]

u take bloodletting and that?

[wheat sail]

damn thought it would be easy

[young saffron]

They want to do a paid Collab and put the PFP nitro effrcts probably

[wheat sail]

bloodletting not usually

its decent

[grand ferry]

because idk how u infinite ironclad

[young saffron]

To enter it's easy, but if you keep studying you can seperate your self from the normal accounting and get int big finance

[wheat sail]

True grit and drop kick maybe

[polar stag]

I don't understand what Nitro does because I've never used it. What are pfp nitro effects?

[wheat sail]

like special effects on your pfp

like idk hearts flying out of it

The silksong subreddit is just full of people who think they're funny

Its sad

[carmine island]

The saddest part is when people actually find them funny

[dire wing]

Does anyone actually believe this person?

[harsh yarrow]

ffs

another?

dont believe it

dont get your hopes up

[cunning geode]

i believe the only confirmed info
about voice actors was when Makoto Koji’s work for Hornet was “complete”

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah

that was back in 2022

[cunning geode]

this is just an attention seeker at best

[harsh yarrow]

Yep

[cunning geode]

at worst it’s a voice actor leaking AND an attention seeker

[brisk aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-hornet-hollow-knight-gif-5503458344524908864

[cunning geode]

so like. don’t believe it

[coral prawn]

no it wasn't🚬

[harsh yarrow]

This is a one-way street to never work for Team Cherry again

Which seems like a bad idea

[cunning geode]

ehh i mean it’s not like i can speak for them about that

[harsh yarrow]

or a one-way street to just not working in voice acting again

[cunning geode]

but this is really
stupid

[harsh yarrow]

yeah

likely bullshit

[cunning geode]

assuredly

[harsh yarrow]

Somone comment that unless they've got some real proof to retag it as a shitpost

[charred surge]

The only information on Silksong I take seriously are those on pieces of parchment delivered via messenger bird

[carmine island]

@inland ravine

[quartz hull]

checked the account, 80% chance its bait but the fact the prediction is relatively reasonable (not being super specific with the dates) is interesting. Account def isnt new but their other posts are sporatic, being on math and tennis subreddits. Even if this person is 100% true, with how team cherry works even if that was a 100% perfect leak it could still be wrong because the scope changes so much

tl;dr probs not but one of the more convincing ones ive seen

[harsh yarrow]

yeah

I mean, Team Cherry can manage scope

how much more time they want to spend on polish is the question

[quartz hull]

thats mostly the issue they struggle with the most

[charred surge]

Trust only information reliably verified by your local wizards’ guild 👍

[quartz hull]

because you think of one good idea and then it spirals into "What if this boss had its own AREA! what if this boss is connected to this other! etc. etc."

[cunning geode]

say “ok” and move on

[carmine island]

I don’t since there’s no actual evidence that they’ve voice acted for it

[harsh yarrow]

I dont know

[carmine island]

Maybe they have old reddit posts about voicing acting

[cunning geode]

it’s attention seeking

[harsh yarrow]

from chatting with Graig they're quite good at not doing this

[quartz hull]

nah checked and its mostly math and tennis forums (there is one in a python coding subreddit but idk)

[carmine island]

Well yeah obviously

[cunning geode]

bazinga

[carmine island]

How do you know they do this tho?

[quartz hull]

Regardless, i think any prediction from somebody who worked as a one-time voice actor would be wrong not only because of them being in the dark but because the workload changes so much

[lone crown]

Ive been gone for five seconds and there’s a “””””leak”””””

If you’re gonna leak, leak it right

Smh

[carmine island]

Guys I’m a va in half life 3 and it’s coming out in 5 seconds!!!!

[dire wing]

Daily Silksong News also voice acted for Silksong. Why didn't he say anything about a 2025 release window?

[carmine island]

They did?

[quartz hull]

There was a clip from a podcast leth was in in 2021 talking about it, clip is featured here at 21:36
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6go-p9_FCY

[carmine island]

Oh I feel like you’ve had that question asked before

[quartz hull]

i saw somebody else here share the video and watched it, really good ngl

[harsh yarrow]

From all that I heard from Graig, that seems unlikely

graig is a more reliable source than leth?

[lone crown]

Its real

[harsh yarrow]

Early on in dev, sure, thats what happens that how you take an idea to a game

But even with Hollow Knight they got down to the idea for the world and its content relitively quickly

[quartz hull]

It'd explain why they thought they were a potential "year away" from releasing 2 years ago

[lone crown]

Hard to pick between PR or lead playtester

[quartz hull]

and also released it on a shoestring budget where they had to cut a lot of content

[lone crown]

Both would have good insight i imagine over the current state of a game

[harsh yarrow]

Hollow Knights actual cut content is sparse

[quartz hull]

leth is also a playtester, he's beaten the game twice according to his bluesr interview

[lone crown]

Oh that’s true

[barren sequoia]

But they had a lot more plans for the game didnt they?

I must imagine some of the kickstarter goals they didnt hit were probably planned out to some extent

[quartz hull]

WE CAN STILL GET THE WII U PORT

[dire wing]

but graig is not the playtester for silksong right?

[harsh yarrow]

There was a bunch of stuff shown off in the really early trailers that didnt make the cut, but from Graig they cut it down and made the game

[carmine island]

I’d be a great play tester all I’d need is a massive bug catching net

[lone crown]

THIRD PLAYABLE CHARACTER

[harsh yarrow]

From what it seems Graig was involved early on

But since is just in light contact with them

[carmine island]

ZOTEBOAT IS REAL

[lone crown]

ABYSS EXPANSION

void in pharloom

[barren sequoia]

I honestly wonder if coding or art would be the biggest issue for team cherry rn

[carmine island]

ABYSS IN SILKSONG???

[harsh yarrow]

Art, I bet you its art

[quartz hull]

Silksong: zote edition where your only mobility is that jump he does in the colosseum

[harsh yarrow]

Art is a slow slow process

[barren sequoia]

Yeah I feel like it'll be art as well

Silksonf seems significantly more detailed too

[lone crown]

Ari works like a machine

[barren sequoia]

I was trying to think how many layers moss grotto was earlier

[harsh yarrow]

But while the Art is slowly finished, might as well make the game play as nicely as you can

[barren sequoia]

Go look at the demo of it

[carmine island]

Parrying guttertanks is awesome they just slip on a banana peel and you backhand them while they’re down

[lone crown]

Prints out high quality assets like its nothing

[barren sequoia]

Shit has such a fantastic depth of field

[quartz hull]

ultrapeak jumpscare in my silksong channel

[harsh yarrow]

You can see Aris attention to detail in every one of the traillers

[barren sequoia]

I am suprised they didnt look to hire another artist for silksong

[lone crown]

Ari’s hand cramps must be rough

[quartz hull]

also we must be glad that we are not revenant hill fans 🙏
IM STILL SAD ABOUT THAT AAAARG

[harsh yarrow]

Team Cherry already has their team well deffined it seems

[carmine island]

Aris hands don’t cramp he has robot arms

[barren sequoia]

I know jack replaced a guy for hollowknight so they're back to a 3 man team but having to handle a huge section of the game by yourself seems just awful

[lone crown]

Wilbo and ari are the inseparable duo

[dire wing]

It was david kazi

[lone crown]

Their vision for their projects are asynchronous

[barren sequoia]

If they're gonna build games on the same size as silksong or holliw knight I feel like they might look to upgrade

[lone crown]

They compliment each other super well

[harsh yarrow]

They probably are in the early stages right now

[lone crown]

I could already tell from their silksong details video

[barren sequoia]

Because I must imagine even for them the dev time isn't pleasant

[harsh yarrow]

working on another very large game

[lone crown]

Fearless Fox most likely

[quartz hull]

i mean, there was that fox-whatever trademark they filed awhile ago

yea

[harsh yarrow]

Yep

[barren sequoia]

This seems like a passion project for them still but god it must be crushing dedicating so much of your life to it

[lone crown]

They seem to enjoy it
