well you demand people to shut up so glass houses stones blah blah

#hk-announcements

[lone crown]

The more this "VA person" tries explaining themselves the less believable it is tbh

[opaque sigil]

I don't demand that people shut up I strongly advise it so they stop making fools of themselves

[marsh ibex]

Now I’ll show you

[pliant juniper]

looney tunes ahh statement

Amazing the va person doubled down

Even I can make better bait smh

Stop spending misinformation smh

[cold maple]

they officially said it was scope creep way back when, and throughout the years scope creep has consistently been implied from the beginning

[shell yacht]

I'm saying move the shitpost there

[lone crown]

“ i am happy to see the reaction it garnered” attention seeker core

[cold maple]

it just balloons and they have to adjust for the balloon

[young saffron]

😔

[young saffron]

"ermm more Reddit gold please"

[woeful matrix]

lots of effort put into mid bait

[atomic sparrow]

belief is still baitable

[woeful matrix]

i think i should start the next ss bait theory

[marsh ibex]

And finally, if you hung around, I have a bit of additional news to share. To my knowledge (and these are very recent developments), the team is planning for something special on Hollow Knight’s eight-year anniversary. No, it is unfortunately not a release date as far as I can tell, and I’m sorry if that comes off as a disappointment. However, it is shaping up to be something exciting, and I’d definitely keep your ears and eyes perked for February 24th (ADCT).

😐

[carmine island]

Lads should I do another run of p-2 today or just do it tomorrow?

[lone crown]

Could we delete r/Silksong istg

[cold maple]

they wouldn’t dare do anything that wasn’t a release date

[young saffron]

As someone in the comment told "kill me"

[clever rapids]

[woeful matrix]

no one's going to miss it

[young saffron]

Unless it's a Q&A session that clears things up

I think that would be nice

[cold maple]

oh shit

[opaque sigil]

wow that would be a terrible idea

[marsh ibex]

its not even funny at this point if real (which is extremely improbable) that sucks if fake this guy is an unbearable asshole

[cold maple]

i’d take that

[marsh ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-man-will-you-gif-18636332

[lone crown]

Didn’t they say in the last post that they weren’t told anything about release? And now they claim that they know February isn’t release “as far as they can tell”

[cold maple]

how is that a terrible idea

[marsh ibex]

stop hating

[woeful matrix]

I am still a (fairly big) part of the game, and I do have the right to know important details such as this

[trim estuary]

Thanks u/E1331

[opaque sigil]

I'll be nice when I see a good take so probably not in this chat

[cold maple]

not really, everyone has the same questions. people are starving for transparency

[marsh ibex]

the self glaze is crazy

[subtle flint]

Old very talented man

[young saffron]

Now that would be funny.

[cunning geode]

oh yes this album cover seems familiar

[lone crown]

Imagine if this is makoto koji in disguise

[trim estuary]

It is almost DEFINITELY him

[opaque sigil]

weren't they claiming to be like a last minute voice actor for a new character they cannot be essential in any way

[lone crown]

Yeah it was a new character lmao

[woeful matrix]

we should all make a ss bait and post it on the subreddit

[cunning geode]

its bowser's voice actor isnt it

with his big bean burrito

[marsh ibex]

yeah

[bleak sundial]

how do people still fall for this shitty bait

[lone crown]

Bowser used to be burritable

[bleak sundial]

the voice acting thing was NOT believable

[woeful matrix]

copium

[marsh ibex]

it also doesn’t make sense for a va to even get this much information

[subtle flint]

The Old singer for Marillion, if that says anything to you wom

[marsh ibex]

like “fairly big role”

[bleak sundial]

the fact that it became popular is proof that this community is doomed

you get what you deserve

[subtle flint]

Might be a tiny bit too boomer though

[marsh ibex]

bro you babble into a microphone

[woeful matrix]

no no no but as he said hes very special

[marsh ibex]

you don’t even say words you are making funny sounds

[opaque sigil]

I mean by being socially connected you might get some stuff but like friend of a relative probably not

[subtle flint]

Yellowname hide

[cunning geode]

i mean, i like Rush and Yes a lot so im pretty boomer

[lone crown]

Do you think Wilbo’s mother knows the release date

[full rune]

blame the mods of the sub who pin it anyway, blatantly parading around false information, and the influencers who spread it

[pliant juniper]

asmr youtubers:

[trim estuary]

can you have powdered pin it here so we can blame him too

[opaque sigil]

I mean to some extent what can you really expect from that cesspool

[marsh ibex]

Edit (3): To answer a lot of similar comments about authenticity and how I got my role: I am NOT a professional voice actor, and am related to a friend of Ari, which is how I got my role. A lot of others got their roles through similar positions, but there were a few professional voice actors involved (although now I might be saying too much!)
Like this is not something you say if you have an NDA bro

[opaque sigil]

viva la revolution

[full rune]

the liberal agenda here to silence me again, so much for "free speech"

[lone crown]

Joker as admin would go crazy

[marsh ibex]

I also have no reason to believe their earlier claim of

[radiant tundra]

im so depressed silksong will never come out and one of my most anticipated games earthblade was canceled

[woeful matrix]

i should be admin

[marsh ibex]

“Oh it was nowhere near finished in 2022-2023”

[trim estuary]

It's okay SteamWorld Dig 3 will release in 2034

[opaque sigil]

I mean depending on how you interpret that it could be just unassailably true

[marsh ibex]

just because again, they wouldn’t know that, and I really do not think they even need voice acting to be in a finished state

[full rune]

i've never heard of earthblade and i'm a gamer so how can it be anticipated?

[young saffron]

It's okay crowsworn is still real

[radiant tundra]

that will release 2027

[marsh ibex]

The way they phrased it made it seem like the va-ing was necessary

[young saffron]

I might be dead by then

[woeful matrix]

[lone crown]

It’s for the best, you could have waited very long for an atrocious, disappointing game

[marsh ibex]

to said finished stare

[young saffron]

Gn moby

[marsh ibex]

all of us could be dead by then

I wonder if that post on the subreddit is still up

[opaque sigil]

I wasn't really following earthblade but the bits I saw looked kinda mid

[quartz cave]

Hi xhtar

[young saffron]

It is, and it's still pinned

[pliant juniper]

bro tryed advertising with two mods and the owner in chat

[shell yacht]

The Earth blade art was good

[marsh ibex]

Not that

[marsh ibex]

He is an admin

[young saffron]

Advertiser was the owner

[pliant juniper]

WHAT

[marsh ibex]

if we were actually warning him it wouldn’t be public

[young saffron]

Or well admin? Idk if zal co owns the server

[pliant juniper]

oh ok

Wtf is that frame rate

[opaque sigil]

bad system tbh you should warn people in public to make an example

[trim estuary]

rule through fear

[quartz cave]

My switch trying to run rivals

[quartz cave]

TRUE

[marsh ibex]

The only server I know of that made warns public was one of the worst servers I’ve ever been in

[opaque sigil]

sadge

[shell yacht]

Public logs are a plague

[young saffron]

Rivals... Peak... Gambit data leaked

[pliant juniper]

my pc running hollow knight for some reason

[radiant tundra]

look at seth for example its so depressing he will never be able to fight his own character. Its the nature of thingss that game dev take time but its a depressing world too

[opaque sigil]

something something transparency

[quartz cave]

GAMBIT JUBILEE AND NIGHTCRAWLER IN THE SAME LEAK 🗣️ 🔥

[lone crown]

There’s such thing as PUBLIC LOGS????

[quartz cave]

Ew dont talk to me about shit

[young saffron]

Eh?

[quartz cave]

We only talk peak here

Like rivals

[pliant juniper]

oh ok

sorry

[lone crown]

Like a list of offenses?

[shell yacht]

Public logs just breed toxicity and witchunting

[marsh ibex]

Like a public list of warns mutes and bans

[radiant tundra]

he designed an enemy for silksong for his make a wish he died of cancer 😢

[lone crown]

That anyone can see?

[young saffron]

I can't tell if you were just making a point about how sad it was people may die before playing silksong

Or tryna put pressure on team cherry lmao

[marsh ibex]

Yeah

[pliant juniper]

how the fuck does he test the game then

[marsh ibex]

it’s always garbage

[lone crown]

[quartz cave]

Joky you should warn me publicly

[cunning geode]

well damn that was kinda an anticipated thing, isnt it weird to try and compare most people like yourself just waiting for the game to release to a child with a deadly condition?

[shell yacht]

I've modded servers with public logs it's ass

[carmine island]

Am I the only person who thinks this is weird as fuck?

[young saffron]

Isn't Seth a boss

[marsh ibex]

I remember back when we first heard about Seth I didn’t actually believe it until we saw his obituary

[opaque sigil]

named for the creator

[marsh ibex]

I still feel like a pos for that

[radiant tundra]

im just saying its really sad, that is all

[lone crown]

RIP Seth

[trim estuary]

[pliant juniper]

this is a joke right

[lone crown]

Eh it matters on intention

[young saffron]

He died long time back

[quartz cave]

Joky hasnt warned me its jojover

[radiant tundra]

I cant wait to fight seth and honor his creater

[lone crown]

No he unfortunately actually passed away

[barren hare]

Seth passed away because of cancer

[lone crown]

But he’s immortalized in the game via his own character and boss fight

[barren hare]

He got to design a boss and I think play the game a bit ?

[marsh ibex]

alright it seems fatigue is taking me to the great beyond

[opaque sigil]

I too sometimes stumble into portals when exhausted

[pliant juniper]

ok i had to look this up because i don't trust you guys at all

[marsh ibex]

uhh words of wisdom don’t bag sell time is the one resource that’s non renewable ask out people

[lone crown]

They stole my prophecy AND chose the most predictable date

[lone crown]

Why would we lie about a child dying of cancer

[shell yacht]

We are the one source with all the facts

[young saffron]

oh wow ive never seen the first gif

[rancid elbow]

silksong???

[pliant juniper]

idk

[barren hare]

but it won't be a release date apparently 😭

[young saffron]

I think first GIF was based in UK

[lone crown]

That would be beyond fucked if we did

[marsh ibex]

oh god half of the server doesn’t know about the riddle gifs

[barren hare]

gah spoilers

[marsh ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/santa-claus-aging-old-gif-14680363

[trim estuary]

maybe we should never bring them up again

[lone crown]

Motherfuckers don’t know who GRINDLE is

[trim estuary]

[pliant juniper]

what

[marsh ibex]

Or Huntress

[opaque sigil]

shh pretend they're new so people shut up about wanting new screenshots

[lone crown]

Oh yeah true

[young saffron]

testing

[marsh ibex]

remember when we thought grindle was fearless fox

[atomic sparrow]

he's not fearless

[lone crown]

Lmao

[atomic sparrow]

NOR

is he a fox dude

[young saffron]

how hard was it to solve the riddles on a scale of 1-10?

[atomic sparrow]

i'm speaking facts

shut up nerd

[young saffron]

literally me

[pliant juniper]

OK I THOUGHT SETH WAS ONE OF THE GAME DEVS I RETRACT THIS STATEMENT

[atomic sparrow]

bruh

[barren hare]

cake arg was harder 🥱

[lone crown]

I hope they do the riddles again

[atomic sparrow]

4th and final is the release date TRUST.

[carmine island]

How do we know he isn’t?

[trim estuary]

Never again.

[lone crown]

Probably not since i doubt they’ll show any more content til release

[young saffron]

I still havent read EDGE magazine

[opaque sigil]

it's like the single biggest source of info

[lone crown]

I only read the HK prequel comic a few days ago

So that’s what the terrain is like left of howling cliffs…

[young saffron]

I wanted to really go into this game spoiler free, so I have mostly only see the 2 trailers and avoided everything else

[shell yacht]

Release date trailer: sends you here,
Leth is here with a new riddle

[young saffron]

including majority of the screenshots

[lone crown]

Vast majority of edge screenshots are in scenes from the xbox trailer

[opaque sigil]

I don't know about that

[lone crown]

And the images arent even the important hit

[opaque sigil]

completing it gets you to a 30 page rant about how annoying the fans are

[lone crown]

There’s like the new ant npc and the coral screenshot with hornet doing some jagged greatslash

Other than that the rest is akin to xbox trailer footage

[opaque sigil]

yeah not much of that is in the xbox trailer

[lone crown]

Actually we dont see last judge flame rings

[young saffron]

roughly how many pages was the magazine?

[shell yacht]

It's actually just Leth resigning to go be a cattle rancher or whatever Texans do

[lone crown]

I love that room for some reason

Cool gate

[trim estuary]

i havent seen this one before....

[carmine island]

That room is awesome wtf

[lone crown]

Its somewhere left of moss mother

Let me find the source

[young saffron]

me neither 😭

[lone crown]

I mean location

[slate wagon]

why is hornet trying to run into a closed door is she stupid?

[atomic sparrow]

this is just to the left of where the demo for moss grotto ends no ?

[opaque sigil]

Pretty sure it’s from the demo yeah

[atomic sparrow]

if you go right you get sleep blasted by that granny or smth

[lone crown]

This is where the gate is

[atomic sparrow]

knew it

i am the silksong master

master of both silk AND song.

[lone crown]

Wonder if they’ll remove the two weaver doors in the demo

And where could they lead to i wonder

[young saffron]

baldurs

[lone crown]

Actually I do wonder

Have we ever discussed where we potentially get the sprint from

Like it should be early game for sure

Very early

hi everyone

[lone crown]

Hello

[inland ravine]

hru giant

[atomic sparrow]

now you're 🍡 ??????

[lone crown]

Doing well

[carmine island]

Thank you Graig

[radiant tundra]

are you the playtester guy? Do you think he is real?

[shell yacht]

My comment was deleted bc I forgot Reddit is a cesspit of asskissing

[lone crown]

He’s the one and only, yeah

[opaque sigil]

This is like the biggest nothing to ever nothing even if it wasn’t fake who cares

[lone crown]

(There are actually multiple)

[carmine island]

I care

[inland ravine]

yes :D

[iron spear]

I don't know for sure. I am not connect directly to the project. But I do know exactly what their NDAs look like and say. Soooo they may have backed themselves into a corner

[lone crown]

Even if its real, all they said was “2025 window” which is an extremely easy and probable guess to make

[opaque sigil]

At least the cake shit as deranged and idiotic as it was would’ve actually had concrete implications if it were correct

[lone crown]

And something unimportant on anniversary or whatever

[harsh yarrow]

Hi Graig

[radiant tundra]

when you playtested silksong did it have a lot of unfinieshed art? or do that break ur nda

[harsh yarrow]

I dont think Graig played much of Silksong, from what I've heard from him

[iron spear]

I can't talk about silksong

[carmine island]

That would break nda I think

[harsh yarrow]

That too

[radiant tundra]

oh ok

[young saffron]

they will rip him limb from limb if he speaks about silksong

[lone crown]

Graig isnt a playtester

[opaque sigil]

Talk about Roc instead

[radiant tundra]

😦

[shell yacht]

Mfw nobody understands what an NDA is

[subtle flint]

Now were talking

[harsh yarrow]

Graig might've played some early builds, but he probably hasnt for a year or two, depending on when he started his own game

[carmine island]

Can you talk about other things?

[subtle flint]

He can talk about roc

[young saffron]

when is roc odyssey coming on kickstarter

[atomic sparrow]

let's talk about tools

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah, Graig can talk about Roc :3

[subtle flint]

!!

[lone crown]

Like beans?

[opaque sigil]

TC actually legally owns his tongue

[carmine island]

How unfortunate

My cat wants food but he doesn’t realise it’s not time to be feed

Bless his soul

[lone crown]

Incoming

[iron spear]

That's the first line of their NDAs

[verbal bridge]

Is it legal to share the contents of an NDA?

I thought people only say “I signed an NDA” bc they can’t even show it

[harsh yarrow]

I mean, if they're properly under NDA sending it to someone also under NDA, I think thats fine?

[lone crown]

Could you share an nda between other people under the same exact nda? Wouldnt make a difference

[iron spear]

Illegal is too harsh a word is a breach of contract and you can be sued

[carmine island]

Graig had to forfeit all his mortal and immortal possessions to play test Silksong

[verbal bridge]

I didn’t say illegal

owned

gottem

now I’m suing you

[harsh yarrow]

I mean, if they do send you a proper NDA and it is true... well you've got to tell TC

That really isnt okay

[lone crown]

One side of the coin is they’re a fake, the other is Graig gets to report that bum

[iron spear]

I'll settle for 7 beans

[verbal bridge]

deal

[cunning geode]

its a catch 22 situation

[harsh yarrow]

Yep

[carmine island]

Go for more he’s got a deep bean wallet

[harsh yarrow]

wait, Graig

if they are real... would you even be able to tell us?

eh, they're likely bullshitting

who gives a fuck

[shell yacht]

All 3 outcomes here are hilarious
1 they ignore graig
2 they try to lie to graig
3 they really are somehow beyond all logic real, and graig has them wiped from the face of the earth

[verbal bridge]

oh shit in that case
50 beans and we have a deal mr graig

[lone crown]

They’re cooked

[harsh yarrow]

Aye, will be fun to see

[lone crown]

My dog ate my NDA

[atomic sparrow]

nah

my nda ate my dog

rest in piece... fly high. 🕊️ .

[harsh yarrow]

IDK why you'd risk your Silksong acess, if you even have it

[subtle flint]

Graig IS the nda guys, surprised you havent figured this one out yet

[radiant tundra]

what I dont get is couldnt silksong testers anonymously leak and nobody would ever be able to catch them

[carmine island]

Rest in peace little guy

[atomic sparrow]

🫡

[young saffron]

yall seen that golden retriever that consistently dies

[harsh yarrow]

Oh I bet you they would be able to

[verbal bridge]

leak what?
Silksong isn’t real… you’ve been in a coma…

[shell yacht]

No bc there's like 5 of them max and they're all so close they'd never do it or get away with it

[verbal bridge]

there’s nothing to leak

[slate wagon]

there’s only so many testers they have
i’m sure they could figure it out

[carmine island]

Because it’s not real…

[opaque sigil]

Doesn’t the game not leave the office anyways

Could’ve sworn I heard that somewhere

[shell yacht]

[harsh yarrow]

Wouldnt be supprised

[shell yacht]

It'd be common sense practice

[radiant tundra]

i just wish skong was real

[harsh yarrow]

but Steam DB does have a CD-testing code thingy set up

Shows there is*

[subtle flint]

When is destiny 2 releasing chat?

[young saffron]

hopefully never

[subtle flint]

Loved d1 and so excited for d2

[carmine island]

We’ve gotta look though every steam profile to find who actually owns Silksong trust me this is an effective use of our time

[harsh yarrow]

lol

[subtle flint]

🙏 lets hope bungie dosent fuck it up

[harsh yarrow]

oh yeah, look at this :3

[carmine island]

Highway robbery

[subtle flint]

Why did the knight cross the road

[lone crown]

Random musician in the silksong orchestra leaks the name of the final boss OST

[verbal bridge]

that’s not Hornet! >:0

[carmine island]

The final boss is called the Silksong smh

[harsh yarrow]

Im curious to see what the final boss is

I assume it'll be some form of overseer

[subtle flint]

Its joker

[slate wagon]

puppet master

[lone crown]

Definitely the god they worship

[verbal bridge]

god but again

[lone crown]

Deep Dock Proletariat

[opaque sigil]

I hope that’s a fakeout it’s too obvious

[quiet knot]

cutie

[carmine island]

I thought you said deep rock lol

[subtle flint]

Same

[lone crown]

Me when they drop the bombshell that there’s more game after puppetmaster

[verbal bridge]

i do genuinely love when bosses are a worshiped sort of deity

[slate wagon]

too obvious, or just the right amount

[subtle flint]

Fym with this, dwstiny 1 was a masterpiece

[harsh yarrow]

it might be a Hollow Knight -> Radience type thing I guess

[subtle flint]

😭 i miss it

[pliant juniper]

is mr mushroom gonna be in ss

[carmine island]

Like me! You guys should worship me like a god that would be really cool

[slate wagon]

100% there is they basically already let it slip

[lone crown]

The Stuffed Bell -> The Resonance

[verbal bridge]

so… that we can then kill you?

[carmine island]

Wait wait wait no no no

[verbal bridge]

LMAOOOO

[lone crown]

“Wait, you’re revealing too much!”
-Ari says calmly

Then Wilbo says “Am I?”

[slate wagon]

but it would be cool if TC go the complete opposite and it’s just some mortal bug who managed to take over the kingdom with silk

[harsh yarrow]

Thats what I think

[verbal bridge]

what if it’s just a guy

didn’t take over anything

[lone crown]

What, still here?
Hand it over, that thing… your silk song.

[harsh yarrow]

The overseer just needs to be a smart bug, with maybe some knowledge of controlling Silk/Soul

[verbal bridge]

just a guy who’s a lil troll

[slate wagon]

this was truly our silk song

[barren sequoia]

Finally got rid of onedrive

[young saffron]

silco

[lone crown]

Is this… the sound of the silk song?

[barren sequoia]

Dont believe I've ever dealt with a worse piece of software

This shit genuinely gutted my pc performance

[pliant juniper]

oh btw were you the one who reccomended i play ultrakill

a while ago

[lone crown]

Onedrive is pure unfettered ass

[slate wagon]

they need to make more mistakes like this, give me all the juicy details

[lone crown]

Dude imagine if hornet could dive underwater (even for a brief moment depending on momentum)

[carmine island]

How a while ago?

[lone crown]

Like after a sprint jump

[slate wagon]

underwater areas are gonna be real

we got a whole coral forest, it’s gonna happen

[pliant juniper]

very a while ago i think

[carmine island]

Maybe

[lone crown]

Gonna be like Sekiro where you unlock a dive ability later in the game then you’d have to remember every spot in the game that had water

[pliant juniper]

anway so i did that

[carmine island]

Actually yeah I’m gonna take credit for something I may or may not have done

[slate wagon]

actually peak

[carmine island]

Did you enjoy it?

[slate wagon]

sekiro in general is just peak

[verbal bridge]

OH HELL YEAH !!!!

[lone crown]

I wonder if we’ll ever see daytime in hollow knight’s surface world if it even exists

[pliant juniper]

it's my new thing that occupies my brain

at all times

[carmine island]

Oh awesome

Where are you up to?

[lone crown]

Quirrel calls the above the surface world and they know of rain so clouds definitely exist, what about regular daylight cycle

[pliant juniper]

p ranking act two

[harsh yarrow]

and standard outfit

[carmine island]

Sick

[slate wagon]

underground bug kingdoms forever would be a lot cooler

[carmine island]

Have you gotten all the act 1 p ranks?

[wintry lotus]

Would it be helpful to clarify you are the person he mentions knowing to have been a playtester?

[pliant juniper]

i only have like 30 hours in the game rn i'm kinda terrible at it

[carmine island]

That’s ok

[pliant juniper]

yeah i beat minos

[carmine island]

As long as you’re enjoying it that’s all that matters

[carmine island]

[lone crown]

Yeah you know what i agree the sun/daylight would be out of place

[carmine island]

Minos is one of my favourite boss fights

Currently I’m trying to p rank prime sanctum 2

[pliant juniper]

damn

[harsh yarrow]

I'd be very supprised that they cant put two-and-two together that Graig and Hyper_Graig are the same

[carmine island]

The boss is a lot tougher than Minos but I’m managing

[harsh yarrow]

esp considering you've got people like Ccmaci saying that that is indeed Graigs account

[iron spear]

It's me

[pliant juniper]

and you have to deal with all the other things

weezer room

[harsh yarrow]

Graig leaked silksong news? How could you smh

[carmine island]

Yeah lol

The gauntlet is awesome

[iron spear]

Leaksong

[lone crown]

Hornet works as a plumber

[pliant juniper]

tenebre rosso sangue is so fire

[young saffron]

reading the edge magazine, just finding out tools can be modified

[carmine island]

I’m getting pretty comfortable with Sisyphus I’ve just gotta get through the gauntlet

[inland ravine]

https://youtu.be/KgXGPxzpyCk?si=898Uxe3eqn-v8su4

[pliant juniper]

silksong x mario crossover

[lone crown]

Yeah its cool

[harsh yarrow]

Ooo, share the blob on that?

I dont remember that from me readthru

[slate wagon]

can’t wait to turn the little minions into bombers

[pliant juniper]

why do you just have that on hand

[lone crown]

For example the straightpin projectiles turning to a triple straightpin tool

[inland ravine]

scerets

[carmine island]

Hi gwnj

[inland ravine]

muffin

[warped rock]

Sounds just as good tbh

[lone crown]

Still not used to gwnj being mod. Can you and you specifically ban me so that I can get used to it

[young saffron]

"Learn these modifications from the resident of pharloom"

[inland ravine]

giant no

[young saffron]

amazing quality once again

[carmine island]

Yeah but war and pandemonium are criminally underrated

[harsh yarrow]

oh okay yeah that makes sense

[young saffron]

The hype is so fucking back

[slate wagon]

one thing that would be cool is if crests could modify certain tools
like some tools had interactions with different crests and made the tool different

[pliant juniper]

i really like that one part from war

idk how to describe it

[harsh yarrow]

I think that for the purposes of the game

the crests modifying Hornets base attacks/healing would be enough

[harsh yarrow]

also- hornet cacoon pogo skips, will they happen?

[pliant juniper]

probably

[lone crown]

We definitely learn the tri-pins from these guys by the way

[slate wagon]

what a shady individual

little goblin commits war crimes everyday

[final breach]

you mean cute as fuck?

[young saffron]

Oh nice catch, it was mentioned hornet learns about new tools watching people who use them

[harsh yarrow]

cool

[young saffron]

Also wtf does this even mean, is he referring to new environments (underwater etc)

[slate wagon]

hornet sees someone throw a fucking bomb at her

yo that would look sick on me

[carmine island]

It would be cool to see hornet learn from the huntress about tools used by enemies after they hunt them

[carmine island]

The part with the greed motifs?

[lone crown]

There’s a lot of other examples, the drill move used on the last judge comes from the new flying red cone boss, the javelins come from the menderbug dudes, there are others i am forgetting

[pliant juniper]

i don;t think so

[lone crown]

You could argue the claw crest looks very similar to the vine creature’s attack

[shell yacht]

I hate underwater so it better not be

[lone crown]

But that’s just a guess

[shell yacht]

My main gripe with underwater levels is usually the music giving me a headache

[young saffron]

agreed

rayman comes to mind alot

[serene chasm]

Man. This is nostalgic

[final breach]

did anyone else see this guy in trailer

[carmine island]

Hi curly

[final breach]

he has a key

[final breach]

.

[iron spear]

I retracted my statement on Reddit because I actually don't want to get involved with drama

[young saffron]

isnt this sherma?

[lone crown]

Smart

[young saffron]

[serene chasm]

Hola Muffin

[iron spear]

I honestly don't really care about this stuff at this point lol

[coral prawn]

Yes

[warm silo]

wait is there some silksong trailer analyzing going on

[lone crown]

You know it’s fake already anyways

[final breach]

i thought that but his design and build looks slightly different

[harsh yarrow]

a bit sad, but fair

[young saffron]

aw wanted to see the "VA" response, but ig its best not to give more hype to this shitpost

[warm silo]

are people mad that the troll is being called a troll, is the cope that strong

[iron spear]

I'm very doubtful it's real.

[serene chasm]

Curious what you said

[iron spear]

That's about all I'll say

[young saffron]

Nah I think majority of ppl know its fake

[atomic sparrow]

i am a silk song

[slate wagon]

he’s just taking a nap

[atomic sparrow]

:)

[final breach]

one more thing i noticed this guy in the trailer very cool enemy that hides through the coral!

[carmine island]

Oh very cool

[iron spear]

Anytime I get involved it ends with people angry at me (not TC) online people lol

[warm silo]

also what fucking VA does silksong need, its silksong not hollow knight vocalized. they probably arent doing voice lines anymore

[young saffron]

scissor enemies will cut hornets grapple 😔

[coral prawn]

Thats so rude

[lone crown]

Here’s every enemy we’ve ever seen so far

[carmine island]

Smart to distance yourself from it

[warm silo]

yeah

[young saffron]

wtf? whos the final 2 enemies. The question mark thing and the pinnochio nosed fighter 😭

[warm silo]

the fucking ant robot looks so cool

[carmine island]

I love how the bird are counted as enemies lol

[warm silo]

hear me out

[harsh yarrow]

yeah thats sad and completely fair

[slate wagon]

both steel assassin members

[lone crown]

Have you never seen Sharpe before?????

[young saffron]

Thats sharpe?? wow my memory is fading

[lone crown]

Oh my god youre missing out on crucial knowledge

Oh ok

[young saffron]

but no ive never seen that attack I think 😭

[warm silo]

the final boss is actually a mecha fight. we hijack the ant robot to fight the whatever the heck robot.

[serene chasm]

Wow! Silksong is going to have so many new features.

Why is it taking so long! 😡 💢

[carmine island]

Curly how’s your cat been?

[lone crown]

Graig is definitely entertained by knowing what we have and haven’t seen but won’t say anything

[warm silo]

you know sometimes im concerned there will be too much content.

like legitimately just too much

[young saffron]

if I was graig id break NDA day one 😭 🙏

[barren hare]

literally not possible

[atomic sparrow]

and get sued ? is it worth it dawg

[pliant juniper]

the part 2 minutes and 10 seconds in

[serene chasm]

Shes been doing ok. Sadly a bit sneezy lately

[barren hare]

thats why you aint him

[warm silo]

if i was graig id ask if i could playtest silksong some more for free lmao.

[pliant juniper]

my pc no please it can't handle that much storage

[carmine island]

Nooo I hope she gets better soon! :(

[lone crown]

Id gatekeep it all to myself

Like what youre supposed to do

[warm silo]

id rather not get into legal trouble over silksong + its probably so funny to watch the community suffer while you play tesr.

[barren hare]

hollow knight is 7 gb even if silksong is triple that its only 21 gb

[serene chasm]

If I get the same amount of playtime from SS as I did with HK without the time sink of godhome, ill be a happy man

[lone crown]

As soon as silksong drops watch Graig drop a Symphony of Pharloom All Constraints Hitless

[warm silo]

well yeah. but honestly the trailers feel like theres a lot of content already

[atomic sparrow]

all six bindings...

[lone crown]

We’ve definitely seen enough

[young saffron]

I think when games cross the playtime of HK, it gets boring. I hated elden rings end game

[barren hare]

trailers from 4 years ago said it had as many enemies as hollow knight did

[lone crown]

We just need the date at this point

[barren hare]

or was it 6 years ago

[serene chasm]

I want to see more (when I play)

[lone crown]

No more content shown please

[hard meadow]

Apex didnt i see you here like 7 hours ago

[young saffron]

I think people need to re read edge magazine, it feels like the entire game is revealed lmao

[young saffron]

id be pissed if we got another "gameplay" trailer

[lone crown]

Yeah literally

[warm silo]

also yall think theres some areas we havent seen in the trailer yet?

[serene chasm]

Well theyll need to put out a release date trailer

[shut sleet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1i8msm9/addressing_concerns_small_news/ for those who have been semi keeping up, the VA claimer has followed up. I'm holding out hope at least

[harsh yarrow]

dont

[young saffron]

I think theres atleast half the game to see

[atomic sparrow]

bold of you to assume silksong fans can read

[young saffron]

please im begging u let go of this hope

[barren hare]

The "VA" commented on Australian tennis 2 years ago

[harsh yarrow]

Graig says that they doubt they're real, thats enough for me

[lone crown]

They said this outright since their details video on their YT that there are many areas we havent seen

[young saffron]

it has pictures!

[barren hare]

graig hasn't been a part of silksong development for 3 years

and didn't he like... encourage the "ARG"?

[carmine island]

Mask binding
Silk binding
Tool binding
Crest binding
Needle binding

[harsh yarrow]

Graig also is still under NDA, and keeps up the TC

[atomic sparrow]

[harsh yarrow]

Im pretty sure he'd be able to tell if they were real

[young saffron]

"rosarys hanging from the ceiling sway if brushed past, and scatter if hit" thats so fucking peak

[atomic sparrow]

chat is this true or false

[carmine island]

I’m sure there’s another thing I could think of but idk rn

[shut sleet]

I'm not betting my life on it jeez

[warm silo]

oh dang really. so we could get the fricken (real) Arctic tundra area for all we know.

[lone crown]

What’s the most recent thing they said

[harsh yarrow]

No?

Graig was doubtful from the start lol

[carmine island]

You should actually imagine if you win

You’d get two lives

[shut sleet]

If the VA claimer is telling the truth, he hasn't been intimately involved for a few years now

[harsh yarrow]

yeah

[young saffron]

This post was the most recently significant thing they told

[atomic sparrow]

bet like 4 lives and get 8

become a cat

[harsh yarrow]

Graig has been very clear about that

[serene chasm]

Poor VA is getting fired.

[atomic sparrow]

😔

[harsh yarrow]

I still beleieve graig over someone claiming to be a VA

[young saffron]

all valid points but id take graigs word over a random VA

[versed pollen]

He instantly disproved it

[serene chasm]

Hey TC! Do you need a new VA?

[carmine island]

Tc will crucify them for this

[barren hare]

they're already done

[leaden delta]

yall r still calling it an arg

[barren hare]

apparently

[leaden delta]

that shit is not an arg

[young saffron]

how do you even voice act for silksong, its literally gibberish

[shut sleet]

Nah they didn't violate the NDA (theoretically)

[leaden delta]

calling it an arg is an insult to actual args

[subtle flint]

Step one, speak danish

[serene chasm]

Still acting with your voice

[atomic sparrow]

step one of my plan to steal silksong

uhh idk

[inland ravine]

dad :D

[carmine island]

Marisa’s va did a great job actually (idk how to spell Marisa)

[young saffron]

40-50 hours at the least ?

[serene chasm]

#sk-discussion message

[shut sleet]

Some of it is kinda legible, at least its charming sounds that match the characters

[carmine island]

GRAIG IS SLY???

[serene chasm]

Yeah

[carmine island]

I DID NOT KNOW THAT

[atomic sparrow]

would y'all rather have actual voice acting or "shaw !" "hegale !" and "hmph bafanada"

[barren hare]

second one

[serene chasm]

I love the gibberish in HK

[carmine island]

Second one

[lone crown]

Now we need Leth to do a Lemm audio message

[inland ravine]

[shut sleet]

[carmine island]

Gg doesn’t mean good game it means get good

You’ve been fed lies by the media

[shut sleet]

Stolen

[lone crown]

Sharpe is eight years old.

[warm silo]

the way this is written, is it gives me a sense of “VERY SMALL CHANCE, like. 1 in a million to be true, and its probably cope” but also a sense of trying to lure false trust by saying “understandable for not having any trust” just to seem reasonable, the whole “no discord” thing is also fishy.

[lone crown]

Eight fucking years old

[shut sleet]

If it was really written by a school age kid, it wouldn't be formatted this well

[harsh yarrow]

engagment bait

[warm silo]

ima be honest i have loose ideas of what that means

[lone crown]

Before the reveal of silksong (or even HK’s release) and back when it was still believed to be a DLC we had knowledge they designed hornet’s moveset as well as Sharpe gif

[young saffron]

There's people here younger than that

[warm silo]

but from what im geussing yeah probably

[serene chasm]

Unless someone comes from TC themselves, I wouldnt put much stock in it

[atomic sparrow]

he's so young

[warm silo]

also what they said about nda’s sounds very false, as i feel like someone else who worked with team cherry would have thrown us something.

[young saffron]

Who nosk reacted me

[lone crown]

Sharpe is older than hollow knight

[warm silo]

same

[humble zephyr]

pain

[wild gust]

I don’t have a reddit account and I don’t wanna make one just to ask, but someone should ask them what jack’s role is at team cherry. if they just say the vague “programmer” line then it’s prob fake

[subtle flint]

Balatro

[shut sleet]

I know people don't want to have a lot of faith in the ARG backpedalling cause of the NDA, I think it makes the most sense. None of the changes make any tangible sense, and I doubt they'd want to troll that badly

[young saffron]

They r avoiding any questions that might make us doubt their credibility soo

[warm silo]

its honestly mostly garunteed fake, they literally cover up every piece of internet info about them is just sus

[serene chasm]

Dont trust anyone on the internet

[young saffron]

Except me

Fuck

[warm silo]

well by that logic i shouldn’t trust you when you say this, but than i should trust you, but than i shouldnt, but than i shoul-

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[wild gust]

yeah I’m figuring it’s fake bc they repeated “I just wanted to give this community hope” like 20x and “team cherry is saving all snapshot of development for something later down the line” also sounds sus to me but idky

[young saffron]

Hey andy

[shut sleet]

They're not involved in the making of the game past their role, most of the news of end stage development is just cause they're in the team. I don't know these guys personally but I am from Adelaide, and we're all pretty well connected and we love the tea

[shut sleet]

So they claim*

[wild gust]

oh cool didn’t realize

[young saffron]

Saving snapshots for something later down the line

Wtf does that mean

[wild gust]

that’s what I’m saying

[shut sleet]

Big announcement

[serene chasm]

This is so fake

[young saffron]

Friendship level for NPCs in silksong?

[barren sequoia]

Leth is specifically hired as like marketing and relations not just pr right?

[lone crown]

Bait actually used to be believable

[young saffron]

Like if hornet does quests for NPC new dialog is unlocked etc?

[warm silo]

probably talking about development later on?

[serene chasm]

Romance?

[lone crown]

Hey zaliant throw us another riddle

[shut sleet]

There'd be lots to organise in terms of advertisement, operations with Nintendo (we don't have an Nintendo HQ in Australia so its overseas communication), and NDA's

[barren hare]

What is he really, isn’t he like programmer and environment designer or something?

[lone crown]

For ol’ time’s sake

[cunning geode]

windows key + shift key + S

[atomic sparrow]

YOWWWWWWWW

ouchj !!!

my arm

[deft gulch]

What if it isn't

[wild gust]

I don’t have discord on my computer and I don’t have a reddit account or the app

[warm silo]

it is most likely

fake

[shut sleet]

Hollow Knight release wouldn't have anywhere near the steps to release as a small indie game compared to how big Silksong has gotten

[cunning geode]

ah i guess thats fair

[serene chasm]

Well you can keep believing that.

[wild gust]

yeah he is I believe, I figured they would have more insight than what his little blurb on the website said. but tbf they might not know even if it was real

[deft gulch]

If the game releases this year what will you do

[shut sleet]

Why so solemn

[serene chasm]

Play it

[young saffron]

Boycott and pirate it

[carmine island]

Then the guy probably broke nda lol

[carmine island]

Play the fuck out of it

[deft gulch]

Didn't he say he isn't gonna be in trouble?

💀

[young saffron]

Based on how graig is speaking, it sounds like he already broke NDA lmao 😭

[shut sleet]

Yeah cause they didn't release any details about the game itself or the release or announcement date

[carmine island]

https://tenor.com/view/arthur-buster-baxter-bunny-you-really-think-someone-would-do-that-go-on-the-internet-and-tell-lies-gif-17527378

[harsh yarrow]

if its true hes violated his NDA, that's a punishment there

[pastel plank]

its like a half step away from "my dad works at nintendo." i hope its true but there's no reason to believe it is

[lone crown]

Such an obvious fake

Why are we entertaining this still

[lyric current]

Nothing changes. He just says shit im already certain about

[atomic sparrow]

people need to make cooler and better fakes

like actual screenshgots

and cool art

[lone crown]

Bring back Aluo

[carmine island]

That’s why aluo was awesome

[wild gust]

yeahh im the same boat well just see in a month

[carmine island]

I miss him everyday

[shut sleet]

Not really

[atomic sparrow]

i should start making fake screenshots

[lone crown]

Yes really

[lyric current]

Loved the hornet kissing lace one

[atomic sparrow]

carry on aluo's legacy

[deft gulch]

It's not that, but i think this is just insane to think someone would do this out of malice

[harsh yarrow]

Theres literally nothing that make them believable

[shut sleet]

I thought it was fake but this second post has me more hopeful

[harsh yarrow]

That they responsed with more bullshit?

[lone crown]

Avoidance of the heavy-hitting questions, the need to double down for attention, loosely contradictory statements, and the safe guess of a 2025 window

[harsh yarrow]

I could do this shit if I wanted to

its easy

[warm silo]

yall think its possible for silk song to release this year

regardless of the reddit post

[young saffron]

Where is aluo btw? Is he still muted???

[atomic sparrow]

silksong 2027 for 10 year aniv TRUST.

[carmine island]

Don’t make me tap the sign #sk-discussion message

[lone crown]

Banned

[atomic sparrow]

banned lmao

[warped rock]

banned

[deft gulch]

We'll see if something in 24th February happens

[shut sleet]

It makes sense for the VA to not know concrete stuff, its essentially just hearsay, but its someone closer to the source

[barren sequoia]

I kinda feel bad for tc that like this is such a huge thing for them

[wild gust]

ye my best guesstimate is late 2025-early 2026

[deft gulch]

If it does

[harsh yarrow]

why was Aluo banned?

[deft gulch]

Then he's one of the VC

[young saffron]

How longs the ban wtf

[rustic ore]

madagascar 2

[serene chasm]

Silksong reddit are some of the dumbest people on the internet. Theyll fall for anything

[lyric current]

Wtf even changes if they are wrong? Do yall actually consider the development going in 2026? I think if it goes past 2025 the game is getting cancelled

[carmine island]

Hello ennea!

[lone crown]

Bans are permanent unless you appeal and they accept it

[young saffron]

Baiting racism apparently, idk what that means tho

[rustic ore]

[carmine island]

Grey scale pfp gang

[rustic ore]

shrueeeeeeee

[lone crown]

Aluo said something a lil silly

But thats all

[barren sequoia]

I've been going at everything around silksong with if its true thats awesome if its false then its a shame. Nothing more nothing less

[young saffron]

Free my boy 😭

[barren sequoia]

Excited about things but not devastated when they're not true

[rustic ore]

free my boy he aint do nun

[shut sleet]

Maybe chill out with the insults dude, just cause someone has a different opinion than you, we literally cannot know for sure.

[lone crown]

I see the intention behind the ban and its justified but I hope he returns someday

[rustic ore]

hmm no theyre idiots

[serene chasm]

Never

[lone crown]

It’s facts

[harsh yarrow]

nah, the insults are funny

[carmine island]

We hate the subreddit people

[wild gust]

I just haven’t lost faith in tc, I know the community is pretty upset but ultimately I’m pretty confident it comes out and is a great game

[harsh wigeon]

isnt there a way to contact team cherry where they will actually respond ?

[lone crown]

Your opinion is straight up wrong

[warm silo]

i honestly dont think we would receive news until we were at most a month till the release date, same with any signs of news. like i actively think they would try to minimize hype until they lock in a release. honestly they might shadow drop the game along with a big announcement… not sure if thats still a shadow drop

[warped rock]

no

[coral prawn]

No:)

[pine reef]

ha shaw

[serene chasm]

I have a personal vendetta against r/silksong

[barren sequoia]

I honestly want this game to release in 2025 because it feels like a good number for it

[young saffron]

Usually id agree with you, but this VA post is the baitiest bait I've ever seen

[barren sequoia]

2026 or 2027 dont jive with me

[harsh wigeon]

why is this game taking so long man

[carmine island]

Yeah but not legally

[harsh wigeon]

there are no updates even

[young saffron]

Like doing something like this is straight up a dickmove

[lone crown]

Its three dudes bro

[rustic ore]

[coral prawn]

Making games take time

[lone crown]

There are

[harsh wigeon]

7 years ?

[lyric current]

If its actually twice the size of the original it will be god damn generation defining, im telling yall

[lone crown]

8*

[harsh wigeon]

mb

[young saffron]

Read edge magazine, it'll calm you down

[warped rock]

hk took a similar amount of time

[harsh wigeon]

where ?

[barren sequoia]

Its like 3 dudes all doing different jobs

[serene chasm]

Cause its a small team making a big game

[wild gust]

indie games take a LONG time to make

[rustic ore]

do i need to tap the Metroid sign

[carmine island]

Ng I’d fall for this

Like if I was a fish

[shut sleet]

By definition an opinion cannot be wrong

[barren sequoia]

I wonder how much coding william does now with jack on the team

Hes more creative lead right

[warm silo]

because at this point team cherry probably just has no idea what to share, even tho i honestly think that there is stuff they could that would be meaningful to this community with no release date attached

[rustic ore]

if i was a fish i would die to an eagle like day 1

[wet tulip]

Someone like a content creator will eventually ask Leth to comfirm if this "VA" and what he says has any credibility and then we will know

[young saffron]

William? He's always been the primary coder so

[coral prawn]

Yes

[lone crown]

There’s an entire magazine, riddles, blogposts, and statements you could check on

[wild gust]

honestly even if it’s the same size, there’s def more content with quests and such either way

[carmine island]

Fresh out of the egg

[serene chasm]

Probably a good amount

[harsh wigeon]

ohh so did they tell how much of the game is done ?

[lone crown]

By definition you’ve fallen victim to the most obvious bait in silksong history

[barren sequoia]

I've always just heard it's not his strong suit

Or I've somehow got that idea in my head

[young saffron]

Nah, we just know it's shaping up and progressing well

[harsh wigeon]

thats nice

[young saffron]

So by the way it sounds there's no major hindrance

[thin nebula]

Hey all, how's the silksanity going?

[rustic ore]

well the regulars are fine

[shut sleet]

The subreddit skongers are more despaired than you lot, I'm just a healthily suspicious optimist, and yes I happen to choose to hope in the validity of this particular claim

[warm silo]

are you… new to this community

[thin nebula]

that's good to see

[lone crown]

Stupid va guy stole my feb 24th date. Been preaching it for years and now if i continue I’ll look like a reddit believer

[thin nebula]

bold choice tbh

[rustic ore]

im still holding out hope for a jan 21st release

[coral prawn]

For the most part

[harsh wigeon]

yes

[barren sequoia]

I would prefer lije a song vs any sort of content reveal now tbh

[young saffron]

Realistically wouldn't releasing in the first quarter of 2025 make sense. Seems like the rest of the year is jam packed with heavy hitters

[barren sequoia]

You can do a lot with a song and its title and really excited to see more of the soundtrack

[wild gust]

welcome !

[lone crown]

Yes

[young saffron]

If there's no updates by march, I'm going to assume a 2026 release

Which is kinda sad :(

[harsh wigeon]

thenks <3

[lyric current]

I think even the most vague of updates like "right now we are working on a new area" or "right now we are working on optimization" would be better than absolute silence

[wet tulip]

It doesn't make any sense to announce something major that isn't a release date at this point, that would be 2022 all over again

[lone crown]

February 2026 time

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah I agree with that

[young saffron]

TGA 2025 REVEAL FEB RELEASE

we r so back

[rustic ore]

im tired of talking about silksong in the silksong channel

goodnight

[barren sequoia]

Obviously all games prefer a good release area but is it that important for silksong?

[carmine island]

Goodnight

[young saffron]

Yes it most definitely is

[thin nebula]

baii

[serene chasm]

Yeah. I cant see them doing anything less than that

[warm silo]

oh boy… welcome to suffering.

expect a lack of news, or hype over nothing.
and uh. disappointment and frustration.

just dont get emotional over it. theres honestly no reason.

[lyric current]

You'd be surprised, but most people are not clinically silksane

[young saffron]

Can someone reconfirm zal and Benji r play testers right

[barren sequoia]

Its mostly marketed by just goodwill of hk and I dont think anything else is cornering the market for its genre this year

[lone crown]

Just a blogpost with a date for the love of fuck, as soon as we get a date I’m going radio silent and avoiding any further information

[full rune]

i do not playtest for TC

[atomic sparrow]

wasn't it simo and benji

[carmine island]

Hello zal

[harsh wigeon]

lol thanks mate, i got enough curiosity after that cake is a lie event that just happened hence i joined this discord server

[carmine island]

How are your dogs?

[serene chasm]

In this day and age, I wouldnt worry too much about the perfect release window. There are games coming out all the time

[young saffron]

It's not just about the genre, it's about the size of the other games.

There's like 10 triple A games that have a big fan base coming out this year

[lone crown]

Hollow knight released at a pretty bad time iirc

[carmine island]

Or singular dog I don’t remember how many you have

Wait do you have dogs?

[serene chasm]

A week before botw lol

[barren sequoia]

Hk blew up pretty decently far after its release right?

[iron spear]

I don't think TC will be too concerned about other games releasing. It will factor into their release schedule I'm sure but it won't be a major factor

[lone crown]

Graig tell team cherry to avoid giving us any new content for their future release date drop update

[warm silo]

true, but id like to get something like “oh we are still working on content or, we are working on polish. or porting. or the last one “theres a lot of bugs in the game to deal with””
that or team cherry was eaten by a giant spider irl, and leth is just trying to figure out how to make the game in his own.

[barren sequoia]

Or well it did fine but then got really big when the voidborne edition released

[serene chasm]

That being said, each game was on its own system so the crossover probably wasnt that bad

[lyric current]

I dont think a 2d metroidvania is a competitor to say, first person shooter or a turn based rpg

[barren sequoia]

I had never heard of the game before voidborne

[iron spear]

I don't think AAA cut into Indie that badly honestly

[barren sequoia]

I believe silksong cannot do bad

[shut sleet]

I saw a vid that kinda changed my mind on that, yeah they didn't get much traction at first but the few copies they did sell was able to support them till they could get a decent patch in, and before their big E3 debut

[lone crown]

Advantage is silksong affordability

[warm silo]

yeah uh, i think silksong doesnt have competition

[wet tulip]

It really doesn't if the indie is successful

[serene chasm]

Plus its better to make a good game that people will keep buying through the years then trying to sell as much in the first month

[barren sequoia]

You will have a hard time finding someone that discredits hk and team cherrys work

[iron spear]

Indie Games are such a different experience than AAA so they don't really effect each other too much

[warm silo]

id honestly not be surprised if silksong releases and steam fucking dies.

[barren sequoia]

Most people that know about it seem to recommend it and thats the best possible thing for silksong

[barren sequoia]

I mean way bigger releases have happened

[warm silo]

trueeee

[marble creek]

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

[lone crown]

Wonder if silksong will go on pre-order

[ashen hearth]

probably will

[wet tulip]

You undersstimate steam servers they have millions of active users every second

[lyric current]

Oh, that certainly happens, get ready to buy it 5 hours after release

[marble creek]

never

[iron spear]

Silksong won't even make a dent in stream servers lol

[serene chasm]

I think the biggest issue with releasing near a AAA game is that it might get fewer reviews.

[warm silo]

but i think the whole game would get the release date, and all be refreshing the page at midnight, trying to purchase it at the same time

[wheat sail]

all kongs reaction to silksong release date

[barren sequoia]

Silksong hasnt had any proper marketing yet other than the trailers right?

[lyric current]

There was a demo

[coral prawn]

Holy shit its peak

[barren sequoia]

Wonder if once we get an a actual real release date that'll change

[coral prawn]

Tropical freeze my beloved

[warm silo]

i am aware steam servers tank, but what happens when a million people are spamming the refresh button

[wet tulip]

Nah, steam is not crashing

[lyric current]

And an arg in 2020

[thin nebula]

they might pace it by timezones potentially if it's a concern

[wheat sail]

may be over estimating how many steam users are gonna be spamming that

[barren sequoia]

Well the arg wouldn't help branch out

[wheat sail]

at once

[warm silo]

fair

[barren sequoia]

Just gets people in the know even more invested

[lone crown]

For the love of fuck, riddles are NOT the same as an ARG

[iron spear]

Probably correct. But honestly if the game is good it will be fine. The Hollywood and AAA studios only care about big release numbers because they are public complaints and need to show numbers

[lyric current]

Yeah, whatever

[dire wing]

Only games like Black Myth Wukong, Elden ring would put Steam servers to the test

[iron spear]

TC won't care if silksong takes a few years to sell millions of copies

[full rune]

silksong is no match for the first AAAA game

[lone crown]

Sorry I just dislike fireborn’s comparison between the two

[barren sequoia]

Team cherry is just kinda failproof right?

[lone crown]

Loyalty

[barren sequoia]

Such a small team that the money they earned from their first game goes significantly farther

Its privately owned so they dont have to do anything really

[iron spear]

They will never make a bad game I guarantee it

[lone crown]

And also the only marketing they ever need is us lmao. All of us have spread word of hollow knight to friends after playing it, or at least tried to

[barren sequoia]

Silksong could sell like shit and they could bounce back misg likely

[serene chasm]

Yeah. HK is still selling consistently well, which I imagine is quite nice for them

[dire wing]

Other than Minecraft and Stardew Valley, will Silksong be the highest selling indie game?

[serene chasm]

Terraria

[iron spear]

Over 300k stream reviews and counting

[lyric current]

I see news articles on silksong every other week even tho there has been no news in 2 years. Community really does carry

[coral prawn]

Eww terraria

[young saffron]

Do we have an up to date figure if hk sales

I wanted to ask leth about it the other day

[iron spear]

The reviews are a pretty accurate way to track how successful a game has been in sales

[lyric current]

If the original game didnt make it, then i dont think silksong will

[lone crown]

Would be nice if they dropped HK sales stats during anniversary

[dire wing]

At max 1 in 10 people review a game tho

[serene chasm]

Everyone who hasnt. Go review HK on steam

[iron spear]

It's about 1 in 83 actually

[young saffron]

500 hours and I haven't reviewed it

[ashen hearth]

tbh I feel like Team Cherry won't do another Metroidvania after Hollow Knight Silksong so they are putting all their ideas into this game before releasing a new IP in 3-5 years

[iron spear]

If you take stream reviews and multiply by 83 you get approx sales

[coral prawn]

I don't own it😔 on steam

[lone crown]

But have you considered all platforms? I think not

[barren sequoia]

I could honestly see them branching out from just being developers

[dire wing]

But Hollow Knight sold a lot on Switch too

[harsh yarrow]

I really want to do some HK modding after Silksong releases

[thin nebula]

3-5 years is an underestimate imo

[iron spear]

Yeah I'm just talking stream

[warm silo]

how much money has hollow knight made anyways

[barren sequoia]

They've already inspired a whole surgence of a genre and seem to like helping other indies out

[coral prawn]

More then me

[iron spear]

Insane amounts

[lone crown]

TC found the infinite money glitch (they know how to make good games and have fun doing so while making absolute bank)

[quiet knot]

5 yen

[barren sequoia]

With the money they have I wouldn't be suprised if they did something like fnaf did with fnaf fan games

[warm silo]

does anyone know how many copies lol
