and also like felt more like an abyss
what potato do you play on to lag with lost lace
son how are you FPS dropping in hollow kniight
Nah, he would defend lace and silksong over anything
ye but he was a ragabaiter
This game did not need void again
pentium dual core intel hd graphics 8 gb ddr2 ram
ragebaiter of the finest
It has no correlation to what the story was going for
you have virus in your pc
was it really rage bait if they believed what they were saying
i know i fixed it and its still ahh
it's the best possible final boss that you can have with a sloppy void act
I mean it was the tool to break the shitty power tripping cycle
while I agree, I don’t actually mind the abyss being a sneak in the third act. I like the abyss being a sort of bedrock layer
there is only one way, you must destroy your pc
or format it
i think that void is fine but could've been handled better
do we have any ideas for void areas in lacelight
Hornet was already doing that
themes and metaphors don't exist void is just evil black goo
Yeah the void was the tool and it caused even a bigger calamity
i know theres gonna be a big ancient civilization city
so the everbloom can break through bedrock is what im hearing
i did already and its still slow at least it got 30 fps in the first phase
remnants
So again, the void was not needed
yea remnants of one, what else tho
maybe void infection can spread to different areas after doing an important thing, like how crossroads turn infected
What if the poured void caved itself deeper into the land basically expanding the abyss and marking huge drops throughout the kingdom
make some area that's like sorrounded by liquid void but there's some super glass blocking it from invading it and destroying everything as if it was an aquarium yk what i mean?
its not a void infection twin we aint doing that here
Now its established as the thing that kills hbs
how else would gms be killed tbf
heres what i have rn
orange, dark blue, yellow-green, reddish-pink, turquioise, and half of blue will be in the void half
Idk this is a fantasy bug game I'm sure they could have come with a million different things
i could have some containment/research facility for void
ye but creating too many new concepts makes the verse inconsistent and convoluted
arent some areas just voided
i mean it was the only way but that doesnt make it necessarily good
turquoise is likely a battlefield
they're ravaged by it not really posessing people
Void makes the universe convoluted for no reason
open task manager while playing hollow knight
What they had going with GMS and the citadel was cool, void and act 3 just drops all of that
no not really lma
mehhhhh. you caaaaaan but I like the concept of void being a sort of primordial force that isn’t contained
my idea for reddish-pink is another battlefield/wartorn castle belonging to lands serene that was lost to the void early in the war
Which ties back to the ancient civilization
well. attempting to contain it
the entire game sorta revolves around gms, the citadel meeting its ends symbolizes how the cycle has been broken
Yes yes really lmao, we now have to go into our memory to get some flower that's suddenly relevant? Never mentioned?
so it doesnt spread ok, i thought it was a spreading thing
idk bro its says cpu 91% on task manager without anything on but its good i think
yeah. I’m ok with this but only if it’s a very hidden area
like, wp type stuff yk
im just struggling on areas in the bottom right
hm
My simming courier
Make it like very primordial molds by the AC
son there's something wrong, how is a 8 gb thingy already at 91% with nothing on 😭
should everything just be
The Abyss
You could have ended the citadel without the need of void... Why are you just implying that in all of your arguments including void was the only way to resolve things lol
also illu pick a direction on how the journey will go
but with subareas
also whhat is void in the real world is it like dark matter or something
Im not saying it was like, needed, but its a solution to a problem that already exists within the verse
team cherry had no new ideas 🥀
dont you ever call my laptop trash
naw
show the effects of the stuff not js replicate it
Silksong was intended to be played as a standalone game according to TC, so no, void did not exist in the universe
Your map also looks like the journey will be circular
Since the story is supposed to make sense on its own
wait i just noticed you mentioning "dual core"
as far as i know dual core is like super shit
like @hybrid flare the dark blue area is just gonna be The Abyss
and im just gonna have it stretch all the way to the right as well
i feel like silksong is just a sequel to hollow knight or something
Guys what if we had another angry god lashing out and possessing everyone who also made her own group of bug and then we killed her with void again and made the void another way to possess bugs and lets bring back Lifeblood to possess even more bugs
yes
it is
??????, there are lots of concepts drawn out of hollow knight even if its a standalone game, having the void in there doesnt make it dependant on the 1st game
Yes
kind of like instead of The Citadel
its The Abyss
Make it filled with AC stuff and make one entrance a big ass drop
say on tung
void was way more interesting in hk
void in hk wasnt even threatening
on triple T
@hybrid flare here are paths for the first half
wasn't really meant to be yeah
dance to pay el respecto to triple t
obviously there will be ability locks and stuff but im not that far in yet
it was kinda
and theres other ways to enter the abyss too, theyre just more difficult kinda like the mist
it goes from a really interesting thematic tool to evil goo
What would the other areas be
But it wasn't it was a source of hope and a way to free the kingdom
vendrica
isn't it because void is chill when there isn't a living creature past 0,001 picometer of the safe distance
The void in silksong sort of represents an anarchy i'd say
what is this map
dances
the pk js grabbed it and took it as his own plasticine
ohio impressed
there could be another path thats only unlockable from green to orange area
also if the purple vertical long thing is an elevator you can extend the elevator to the abyss, but it's destroyed so you can only explore that part with a wall jump or something
what is this map
hollow knight lacelight
Is the second half all void ravaged areas or is there more to it
whats that
its just anarchy for the sake of destruction though not actually anything meaningful
also i'm still trying to think how is it acceptable that a big fat creature can store liquid void inside its stomach
like how are you not being killed by it how
Nope, the chaos that anarchy brings when doing a revolution
can someone make a 3d bellhome
no idea, all i know is that the first area is Lightmarsh the pink area is White Floral Valley and the dark blue is The Abyss
also some vague ideas: red is Lands Serene city, turquoise is one of the massive battlefields, reddish pink is the first major castle of the Lands Serene to succumb to the void, the purple is similar to a bunch of cliffs
Why are we ignoring what I said?? You said void is a way to solve things without adding a new concept to make things convoluted, I said it wasn't the only way to solve things obviously, you said it came from HK so it's not new, I said you're supposed to be able to play this game without playing HK, meaning that void is actually a new thing, and you shift to implying that I'm saying this game is dependent on the new one?
and the regrets that come and sacrifices need to be made
ok silksong is shit because it uses concepts drawn from hk and its supposed to be a standolone game
😭
the whole power system is literally fucking soul
But always, child, I remain a daughter of Hallownest. And the void below all things, that darkness I will fear no longer...
Its like painfully obvious they had no idea what they were doing thematically with the void
This guy is insane
Its not a story with anything to say
you're making a nonsensical point twin
Yeah uh that's kinda bad too?
nahh nubbie is right whatever
Silk is just reused soul its not interesting
and it also has 0 replayability
Not at all i'd say
Song magic is basically nonexistent
Yes dude, my whole argument when saying void is a bad addition is to tell you silksong is a shitty game jeez, idk what fallacy is this but it has to be a great example of one
My cover
Yeah hornet being afraid of void was never mentioned or implied ever besides on the gloom journal entry
That was a satirical statement and the void can work as a standalone concept
Even the gloomsac journal entry doesn't even have her saying she's scared
do i almost feel fear
Idk if it can, but it doesn't
In this game at least
lol
But it does, conceptually it's not very complex
Yeah this is kinda freaky I'm like ALMOST scared but I would NEVER EVER show emotion
i dont know its a bit of a nothing theme. The chaos that comes with revolution but its entirely indiscriminate and doesnt actually move to achieve anything other than absolute destruction? it just comes back to evil goo
like you dont need to actually play the 1st game to know that scary goo is scarily destructive
Since again, void has no relation at all to the citadel or the main characters, it is a separate entity unlike HK where it was EXTREMELY CONNECTED to the main plot
silksong feels bad cause it also has the same idea of a falling kingdom only difference being falling not fallen
Yeah if you played the first game you would know that's not the case 
yea it's mid, i like the fight mechnaically
That's also why void sucks in this game, you can't have impactful stuff in it like the million corpses since void is not relevant
It is scarily destructive but it's a big joke in the 1st game
I wish I felt buggy like I once did
Well yes the entire point was that it was powerful but it also lacked any unity to do anything and mostly kept to itself
It is also not the freakeast thing she's seen but whatever
i guess introducing void at the end would be like introducing lifeblood taking over at the end after defeating the radiance
Void mechanically makes sense in SS but its not quite as interesting and lets not pretend it fulfilled the same role in HK
What i do agree on is the void really not being present anywhere else which yeah
i wish they kept in the void soaked thread attack
i want more void area ideas for lacelight
what else does the ancient civilization have
Yes
people
Buggy bugs
she has trypophobia
Those bugs made me feel buggy once.
Well, not even like that, since lifeblood still had appearances in hk
ill just draw random shapes
She doesn't mention fear in the big gloom which is like???
where's E33
you hate indie games??????????/
son, i don't like indie games, i like games that are good and are worth of my time and money

It's not quite the same thing as in the 1st game it represented regret while in skong its chaos
in the hellpits that are named france
wheres chess
oh thats star
"Indie"
Iirc e33 was backed by the french government idk how true this is
also yeah it aint indie
this tbh
If the abyss had a theme song, it would be this
have y'all not heard of art grants
"Art" to then pour it all on a ue5 game 💔
governments giving funding to indie studios (not just games) is like a whole thing
Indie means self published
backed by the french government like its some kind of foreign coup
not even
graphics aside it seems solid either way
is ultrakill not indie
only playing indie feels like youre trying to show off
Wouldn't say so yeah
hakita is literally a billionaire
silksong is not indie
Fun Fact: A chicken's head is so stable that you could attach a camera to it and record from a speedboat on rough waters and the footage wouldn't have any camera shake.
team cherry is an AAA company
thats hollow kngiht trust
indie means a $5 budget
"you play indies because you are a glazer, i play indie games because i'm poor"
Untrue because they make good games
If you told an ultrakill fan they weren't playing a hidden gem indie game they'd literally die on the spot lowk
For example Morbid Metal is a game currently published by ubisoft, but its an EXTREMELY small team
Playing triple A games in big 2026 is trolling
and the creators of E33 outsourced shit tons of work n had lots of funding to work with
meh. I play for the most part only indies
Elden ring is my favorite indie game
springtrap has the source virus on his skin
surely
i didnt have money the first time i played hollow knight so i downloaded a virus on bluestacks to play
even ma granny knows ultrakill
There are plenty of good games out there from triple A, you dont need to play brand new games to enjoy them as well
surely triple A's are consistently better
Your granny cool as hell
playing indie games is like larping videogames
i playted hollow knight because my friend bought it and we share the library
playing videogames is larping hobbies
Ultrakill makes me feel really really buggy
Hell for example i played ghost recon wildlands (only ghost recon i played) got it for 8$ an amazing game even though its not new
Triple A games in the past few years are just either bad or mid and overpriced
in general aaas are way better yeah it's not even close, 99% of indies are shovelware slop
facts
This is true
flash games are indies
Theres a lot of trash in both indies and triple As
I legit think anyone who says AAA games are bad hasn't touched one for like 5 years
thankfully there are a ton of games out there
sure but there's like a LOT more trash in indies 
I'd rather play fnaf fangame #5123478 than gta 6
thing is AAA's somehow mess up really badly having everything and indies are made in a garage toaster with 3$ of budget
The thing is, only good new games nowadays are from indie studios
yea its just a lot worse when a triple a is bad
Elden ring
yea, but that makes sense due to the scale of games made, single devs ect. triple As take a lot of time to make
sorry
thraggs a fraud
Uhhhh what a another good triple a
not really. but it's true that some of the biggest companies stopped making good games
Is fromslop a large enough company to be considered AAA
monster hunter
A + A + A = C
It’s a namco subsidiary
There are a few exceptions, but it's funny you had to go back to a game from 2022
i played it cause i saw hornet on my fyp
indie game in a 1900s cartoon style 🤖
resident evil 9
not really, capcom's been on a crazy winning streak recently
Yeah economy’s been in the shitter since
he's like the second strongest viltrumite wtf are you talking about
true
That shit is only good for the first hours, then it becomes slop and it's overpriced as hell
notice how he showed himself after debbie left earth?
ekh
AAA just doesnt make me feel buggy enough anymore. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
whats even the point if its not an indie game thats secretly about depression or something
Basically the hospital section
capcom is good, ubisoft, ea and activision fell off
No those suck too
I've heard that pragmata is pretty good and so is KCD2
Apparently battlefield 6 is pretty good
ubisoft so desperate they made a remake of ac black flag
i ONLY play indie games with fanbases that glaze their difficulty 24/7 (they aren't that hard)
nine sols
i've seen pragmata's trailer and it seemed like a really really generic game but idk
no clue
and also notice how he didnt stop marks impact frame rich punch but stopped olivers????
GUYS
oh and it can't be 3D or have any realistic artstyle
Indie game triple a game doesn’t matter I just play good video games
for every pragmata there are 7 billion highguards trust me
"realistic artstyle" (ue5 graphics)
Qualityslop
No it can be 3d, but those low polygon 3d games like death doors or tunic
it's because oliver is a chud and purple and half cricket he's disgusting and deserves to be buried in alcohol
Last 5 years good triple A (even if i didnt play them) BG3, KCD2, horizon zero dawn (new one), ghost of tsushima, silent hill 2 remake, elden ring, helldivers (not sure if triple A), God of War (debatable just off top my head)
artstyle and graphics arent the same thing
imean not alcohol but something else that kills arthropodes
Also Nintendo is a triple a studio right
see what I mean 🥀
Let it be known i have only played like 2 of the games on that list, but from what i heard from other people
hd2 is AA
nightrein
and it fell off hard
So like tears of the kingdom
my fav game is AAA idk what y'all on
this is where terminology is annoying
true
Nobody talks about horizon despite being marketed everywhere by playstation that says a lot about that, and the newest god of wars are just mid and overpriced (GOWR)
no cause oliver was too strong for him and he needed to terminate the threat
what's hd2 holy dudes?
helldivers 2
can hornet say the n word
death stranding
@hybrid flare where should the final boss be lolz
I’ve heard different but I haven’t played it
the best games in the past 3 years have all been indie: bg3, e33, bmw
The n word wouldn’t exist in the world of hollow knight because there’s no transatlantic slave trade
I've never met a horizon fan, online or irl
im thinking of having an area called The High Command, taken over by void, being where the final boss is
what is bmw
holding back myself like mark strangling conquest to not say something awful rn
the high command being the orange area here
mate make the areas first, i'd imagine one arena being like, the first vein they cut of the dormant god and the 2nd one being smt void related
wukong
i have heard a lot of good things about horizon zero dawn, im gonna play first, one i snagged it on sale
My roommate in college really liked it but he has 20,000+ hours in destiny 1 and 2 so take that with a grain of salt
they arent taken over by void did you read what i wrote
son thats the entire plot of silksong, slaves
they're pretty good
they've taken the vow with the dormant god
well yea, i mean the area not the people
go ahead
I mean they reside on the safe haven section
Do you know what I think is super lame. Not one single bilewater exclusive NPC
thats where the higherups of the government resides but their safe haven is dying
there is, the first sinner recognises that her kind is not above anyone else because they aren't divine or something like that idk
That makes the area better
oh i thought that was triple A
later in the game maybe john white goes down into a void tainted area to try and find something that will help him fix stuff
How lol?
fucking e33 ew
we got two dead ones if that makes up for it
It shows you how hostile it is, no one likes you
Shakra
shakra isnt exclusive to bilewater
Who? Pinmaster is ducts lol
They’re gonna add fluke hermit there again later
Groal
well i think the orange area should be an area of significance, like a shrine or something
i don't urge to say it anymore because i'm super pure pwerson
Boss not Npc
Snail shaman and Shakras master
The safe haven is like half of their previous city and their own personal residence palace thingy is covered with blood that sprouts flowers
i still need to play e33
i dont consider a boss a npc imo
Ahh yes
you really do
He's a non playable character, but sure
The flea that captures you
stilkin with a glock
i think when most people talk about NPCs they mean characters you directly talk to/interact with
ill get it when im next paid
should i just make the high command part of the regular lands serene city
Npc usually means interactable characters and not enemies
yeah that's the plan
say it
i like them being separated from the regular city tho
The needolin stilkin
i wouldnt call a tiny moss enemy an npc xD
I feel like a midwife kind of character would fit well. Or perhaps someone hiding from the horrors
even though thats technically the defintion
ChatGPT something something E33 you know the drill
maybe the orange area was the place where they first took the vow
Shakra's mother
Maybe, since they've been tainted a bit too much by the dormant god they dont make public appereances
shit is this rdr2 or smt i cant really differentiate
is shakra a hornet
sandfall stealing all karak's water to do a better coral area
every screenshot i see of e33 is so pretty
@hybrid flare
i wish that the old heart dudes in silksong had a final monologue like ultrakill prime souls
it has some of the best art direction out there for games
nah it's cuphead
so you would say it if you wouldnt get banned
ngl i feel like this map is too small, or maybe the areas are too big
||white sands|| area was beautiful in e33
Khann would never match the aura of Sisyphus
Which orange and yeah there will be the first vein
They do tho well it's not a monologue but yk it's still a dying line
What is Odysseus gonna say
tainted by generic ue5 graphics
how you got the rgull1t gifs
the one bewteen the blues
nah they just scream
is that... bear from bear in the big blue house...???
There are other ways of persuasion
"Oh, zoinks, scoob! you thought i was lucifer???"
Probably. It’s the first gif that comes up when you search void
lucifer prime fans will be executed
lmfao
good lord I haven't thought about bear in the big blue house in a LOOOOOOOONG time
trans lucifer is still the funniest theory
thats yellow as hell and you mean the bottom right?
how can I enjoy this gif if there's no benjammins in it
ultrakill?
the bottom right is completely yellow and no
how does this affect the lore
yeah
lucifer just ripping through your screen and punching you in the face
No like "...How we hunted... How we sang... My Children, I saw you glorius..." with karm
Shit that might actually motivate me to keep playing
I put down ultrakill a while back I need to finish it
something about greater angels using he/him as a sign of respect towards god
i dont rlly understand the universe of ultrakill i thought the angels and such were robots as well?
oh wait that's true i forgot
or is that like a suit
Angels are just angels
god threw the mf down himself btw
send the thragg run bro gif with immortal in the back
my goat would never
Is that the silksong map
There are Lesser Angels who are the souls of humans in heaven and Greater Angels who are like the more traditional concept of them
Make the first vein more connected to high command and the upper green area which i assume is the closed off city remnants
i don't have that giff
Yeah armor
The placement is very neat as if the journey is circular
That fraud statue goes crazy
that armor is their skin btw
heres a bit of WIP, high command is pretty far from the first vein
idk why you made the red region the city when it can be the lime area next to high command
After today's practice I'm down to 2:01 lol
literally perfect btw
Does any of this other than lands serene have canon origins
I keep getting Qi starved
Like first vein?
i can move it, idk how i feel about the city being the 2nd area tho which is the problem
Add a wyrm corpse >:)
It could be the teal area maybe if you expand it
I think moving high command would be better
and the lime area sort of like outskirts
its perfectly placed imo
There's only one cooler statue 
alr
"statue"
It is
god's statue mogs
||Geryon gets impaled on a statue of itself||
Could make it so you have to go all the way around the map, then open a path from city to lightmarsh
why show the scene instead of the statue itself
Not as tuff
Yeah, thats kinda how i see it, circular journey
but screen filled with bloodslop
Yeah we're running out of directions to go in these games
Up down and now we go around
it was down in hk in skong it was down AND up now its a fucking circle
I also like this detail backstage
Switched
HOLY CRIKIES
Forgotten Kingdoms was such a mid map
Down in hk up in sk
I JUST GOT 1:47!!!!
The parkour was so shit
It's buggy as hell
sk is actually both
HLY SHIT
what the FUCK 15 seconds faster ?????????
That's 13s off from WR
what did you DO
In what
They are both both
Hk goes from dirtmouth to abyss to black egg
Silksong goes from moss grotto to citadel to abyss
I almost forgot to record my jades 
So ig we already have loops :/
(None)
Is Speedruning nine sols fun
Nine Sols boss
imo first vein and floral valley should be connected somehow
Congrats
Yes
when i p ranked that lv i felt sbsolute dread because 8-3 was still there
true
howdy everybug
what's the discussion today?
One sec I'll get a Silksong discussion topic
beginning sounds like pain, though different types of speedrunners have different tolerances
hmm i can try to make a path under the city
hmmm what purpose would floral valley serve
not sure about overworld speedrunning in 9s, but battle memories is quite fun
what's that
Just constant pressure with WF
do NOT translate "sense under speech" to danish
I also think it was hitless but I have to check
unironcally silksongs speedrunning any% is actually fun if you dont take it serious, i would shoot myself if i had the mindset to reset every time i messed up
its a key moment in the story i decided
maybe kinda like a seal the high command tried to do as a last resort to protect themselves, near the advancing forces, opening a huge wound out of the dormant god and basically being a blood waterfall with corpses and flowers
oh, you're making a fangame?
yes!
As john white chose to bury the rest of what was lost in shame
and that was his last play
what's that unnamed yellow part?
before eventually realizing the toll it took was too high and couldnt be sustained any further
no idea yet
It's a part that's unnamed
And yellow I believe
what's the lore up to this point? Maybe I can help
Im lwk heavy on the bloodborne references here
Can we discuss if wl is from lands serene rq
shes probably not, we know ze'mer is
Maybe the designs of bugs will be based off of plants
It said she came from another land
like ze'mer looks very plantoid to me
ooooo interesting
She knows about everbloom
she's prob a cockroach
She is a plant like nubbie said
does this mean greyroot also came from lands serene
greyroot is voided white lady confirmed
Another thing I was wondering
I don't think they are related, but hornet refuses to go into abyss with parasite
Can someone find that dialogue on wiki
she states she will be too weak to fight in that state
there's really nothing more to it
Ty, I was wondering if she was too weak or if she was worried it would eat the void
Bc it does kill wardenfly
parasite has NOTHING on the void
What abt after it ate a hb and a half hb
Then does it stand a chance
what if the parasite tries to make its home inside TK
i got sea of sorrow early access
it would die
well its an entire fucking sea of black sharp stuff vs powerful but extremely weakened being
Yk the spire region could be a horizontally fallen spire
"what if the baby tried to make its home inside the Thing That Is Filled With Death Substance"
i mean if the night crawlers can resist the void then the parasite should resist the void it tottally makes sense
It'd probably eat the death substance
yummers
Interesting how they can't resist the infection, but the void can resist the infection
the Shadow Creepers (if that's what you mean) are cosmic horror creatures and their existence should not be used as a standard
But they can resist the void
wait so
Shadow Creepers don't have Void
the ones that do are the Shadow Chargers
Wait you mean the little ones or the big ones
do the infection even do something with them? they're kind of still there doing their thing
The ones in hk too
(Nine Sols late boss spoilers!!!)
Here's that run
the little ones
the big ones are also weird
a viable path to the White Floral Valley is city > first vein > valley
the first vein is voided atm, but you cant actually enter the void through it
foreshadowing !
grynne became a fucking 9s speedrunner now
eeeeehhh, i wouldn't make the 1st vein of all things voided
remember, voided areas are voided because there's nothing to stop the void
Shadow Creepers freak me out
Hey your suggestive content warning is gone 🫣
This is super inappropriate
True
i guessssss
Big ones are def cosmic horror
guys, which is the best crest for karmelita?
omnipresent beings that don't interact with the ecossystem, hang out in the deepest depths of the world, have no thoughts but most certainly have a mind, and can consume Void without dying
make it so you gradually start seeing more decay and then it stops in valley but once you drop into the defiled fortress it spikes back up
Best crest for everything (bosses, not platforming) is architect but architect is no skill and frowned upon
should the red area be voided
i don't like it anyway
make the left sidde Voided but not the right side
whats the purpose of red area
no idea
Beast is good if you have experience at beast, wanderer is decent overall if you throw in longclaw
i just see them as a lucky animal that found a endless source of energy to reproduce and not die
lightmarsh should definitely be half voided cuz that was the original idea for the area
thanks
np
i imagine its like
Nah
"lucky animal" those things are omnipresent
reaper is the best with longclaw rah
Maybe the red one is a rogue faction rising to the devastation of both the AC kingdom and the weakening of lands serene
they're probably older than every other bug ever, and will probably outlive every other bug ever
I am saying wanderer has good dps but it is useful to add range to it
the void is spreading up but the first vein & floral valley are like walls stopping the spread
Feeding off of rusted chasms
but the void is spreading around and heading up through lightmarsh
i mean there are a lot of organisms in earth that are spreaded across multiple areas of the planet
Wait guys I just realised
Maybe the upper golden area to the left is the generic feral overgrowth fed through the pale blood
...the red...
...coral...
...GORGE
feral undergrowth? like, mio?
should half the rusted chasm be voided
You think that can be useful
the bottom, maybe
If we can find the mask shape
nah stop w the void
not the top
the dark areas are voided atm
is it fine as is
or better, make dark purple part of the chasm and make that part voided
yeah like that
wait i need to do the thing to the upper left golden area
make it have a connection with the surface
nah lwk dont make chasms rise up that high
it would mess with the flow of the red region
so is this good
yeah
connect the red area w wilderness though
what should the weird green area in the bottom middle be
maybe trade routes between those 2 kingdoms
so like a port/oasis town
what if there are actually scraps of AC in the lands serene
Like someone stirrs down there
It could be for the collapsed spire for some noble to refuse to leave
a neutral trade kingdom
wouldnt fit in the narrative
I could submit that run and get the number 2 spot for jadeless bowless WF F&N, but submitting a run for a #2 is stupid
Need me that first
And rusted chasm likely being a means of entry of transport from one side of the kingdom
random guy from alaska takes the #1 spot out of nowhere 30 minute youtube documentary
Sunflower overgrowth
geometry dash ass
and the first vein will be the locations of the final bosses
I always thought it would be cool if we got like a rose area with thorns in lands serene
moreso referring to bluesr videos
I do have to make some changes to shave off 13 seconds though
I'd say the first one, but idk what about tfb
Because 1:46.6 is kind of the limit of what my current flow will get me
If I were you I would get 4:89.2 bc I'm distracted by the suggestive cats in the background
💔
Need to start dashing through attacks to get WFs off if he's not tagged, and UCing literally anything if he is tagged
You can zip it now
Ok sorry
i thought it was gonna be an eggnog situation where its the same location
we need to map out the plot first illusion, do you want to go silksong act 3 route or hk final boss -> tfb?
Maaaaaybe, idk
idk but i need to handle something real quick lol
Wait what is eggnog situation
Is that where something is good once but you would be happy if you never had it again
NINE SOLS SPOILERS ||same final boss, just a different harder third phase or smth like that||
Hm I missed about 3-4 UCs and a few facedance opportunities and that might be good to cut off at least 10s
The amount of optimization this takes is insane
The guy who did this did really well
What would the difference in plot be
no idea
hk final boss route
alr bet
this and some lore
oooo
see illusion knows
Which boss should I work on
crawfather or khann
Crawfather it is
no floor last judge
crawfather sounds like helll...
I think its impossible
It has been hell so far but I do want that hell to end
it would be hard tho
I also think it's impossible but I refuse to give up
for LL 2nd to 3rd phase transition can you air stall that long?
Indeed, you can
no floor no wall unravelled sounds impossible since you cant hit with a pogo
You can pogo the tail
sideslash into pogo i assume
And the spears
oh intresting
whats the point
thats crazy
Floorless
last judge seems doable, trobbios and first sinner are already hard to hitless, so they're probably hell
Forced landings don't count
silksongs objective is to beat the radiance and save the land of storms
no clue
The Dark Shore or something like that for the port, maybe?
win
another game another higher being to beat the shit out of 😎
still waiting on the unveiling of lower beings
believe it or not we've decided that not
What if the game was about exploring a world ruined by a godlike entity, gaining power until you eventually face it
we already have the lore we just need to know the objectives and what lace is gonna do
Idk why but I no longer find myself using tools in combat
I just use needle and silk skills now
lwk ran out of stuff to think for today
Is it going to be like a real game or a cool concept?
i think ive decided to make my own movie
It'll join the purgatory of every other hk fan project
chat what are we thinking about
the goal is to rip open more seals of the First Light like what john white did in white floral valley @hybrid flare
LittleBigPlanet 2: The Movie
Ohhh Dex stays grounded, hm
little big planet ?
I mean it wouldnt work since john white stopped doing this because it takes a big toll on people being slowly consumed by the dormant god
His first phase is 32s and my 1st phase was 33s, so I'm on the right track
read the file name for that image, its literally the truth
lace wants to sacrifice everyone to open more seals of the first light
john white wants to protect his kingdom after he saw what happened in the white floral valley
and thats the conflict
1st is keeping his kingdom secluded and safe, and in the TE where he develops he tries to fix it himself by delving into the lower sections and starting to rip stuff open disregarding the cost
that's not a compelling protag imo
wdym by rip stuff open
wounding the dormant god
like what happened in the white floral valley?
and the first vein yeah
Maybe lace tries to cleanse the void through her own vow
without the need of throwing people like john white did
so theres 2 different ways to cleanse void, lace's uinknown way vs john white's sacrifical wound things
I'd say lace plans on giving part of herself to the god js like john white did for a time
as a sacrifice, getting new powers and stuff
but john white couldnt handle the toll himself and had to use others
john whites a placeholder name right 💔
yes
can you call them ismoil
while in the TE he straight up chucks everyone into it even himself, his 3rd phase being almost one with the god
i think its a cool parallel how lace was fragile and bound to gms, now these people are fragile and bound to the dormant god
but i still dont get lace's method
is it that lace can handle it but john white cant?
she asks nicely
so i named some stuff
Lace can bear it in favour of the other bugs but john white couldnt
and i also made some abilities
Movement
Flash Step : When pressing RT, move at high speeds to evade attacks quickly by dashing. (Mothwing Cloak)
Light Ledge : While on a wall, pressing A again will allow the user to climb walls. (Mantis Claw, Cling Grip)
Flaring Flow : When holding down Y, give out a beautiful voice that pulls in both light and void. (Dream Nail, Needolin)
Woven Grab : When pressing LT, create a throwable pin that you can use to cling to walls. (Unique ability. Example: Crystal Dash, Harpoon)
Illuminated Height : While in the air, pressing A again will result in another jump. (Monarch Wings, Faydown Cloak)
all for that trauma not to surface ever again for anyone
and she's naturally more durable for the god
HMMM Dex's run is flawwwwed he got hit a couple times and missed a few UCs
This is possible...... 
whos to say they need the same abilities? why not make a drastic change
why not instead of having a regular wall climb have
idk, maybe a wall run? you can go up a wall but only so much, and once you run out of momentum you just fall down so you cannot endleslly be stuck to a wall
wouldnt it be the other way around, john white is the one who cares for his kingdom the most
i feel like some uniqueness could really help the abilities
whats a corel
i also feel like that maps too medium sized
i agree
where are the very small areas or the grand giant locations
Truth nuke
idk i just thought of a cool word lol
but we gotta make lace empathetic somehow too
why does everything have an exit everwhere, why not add some that are smaller ones locked to only one exit
i mean i could but those areas always tend to feel useless
the small areas type of thing
But they dont need to be
hive, hunters march, sands of karak, wisp thicket,
Ever wonder why they feel useless?
small areas definitely could work tho
Cause usually they give next to nothing and what they give is useless
Maybe john white couldnt bear the sacrifice on himself and needed hosts for it, being his associates, but the cost was too great and he feared that the kingdom would fall without him
some exits could be only unlocked from one side
Why not have them be somewhat important on a way
while lace resulted as the perfect vessel to have them
this too
But not necessarily be something you need to go into
As an example taking from prince of persia the lost crown
sands of karak gives khann, volt filament, conchcutter
huinters march is practically required for karmelita
also, there could always be subareas within these tbh
Often you find hidden minibosses that apa4t from being quite damn fun fights, they also give you a new combat ability, one thats not necessary, but that spices the combat encounters a lot
Hunters march is basically just a passage to far fields if were talking karmelita tbh
Id argue so is karak cause khann reqlly is on a different area. The coral tower
So that leaves a very easy miniboss and two charms
They also do not need to be uninteresting
I'm karming my Lita
See verdania? That place is outright useless, yet a lot of people love it because of its theming and aesthetics
Theres this one place in the lost crown that is basically a very small subarea
it serves the purpose of lore
and in the TE john white accepts most of the burden on himself and it is enough to contain it in the lower levels
and worldbuilding
she karm on my eel until i eat her
not every area has to contain the best item ever
But its themed kind of like a lighthouse, where you can find a few useful upgrades, and it is floating by the cliff of a mountain overlooking the sea
as a retribution factor for everything he caused, as it is mostly his own fault
are you guys gonna call him john white forever
who's John White?
Which already made it memorable for me but also it has a secret exit where if you drop off the lighthouse into the air you can fall into a hidden room from the area right below, but that part is very cool and i dont wanna spoil it
im bad at naming idfk
antagonist of lacelight
call him something like lux arthron or something (i'm ass at latin)
idk how tc names their characters
I feel like that area also got help by not being inmediatelly accessible when you find it, as it is place right or a crossroads you need to go through, and inmediatelly left if a main sotry boss
Which leads you wondering what the hell is to that side you cannot access yet
let me think of a name
another caucasian male villain 🥱
call him the Bright Monarch, then make him a monarch butterfly like this one
Unlike the other small areas from hk and silksong which are all supper hidden (hive, thicket, karak)
sashini did it before me
we alr have a monarch that's a butterfly
in the universe
Well karak kinda tried it, but they made the mistake of adding that exact type of wind not only in the same area, but also in hollow knight, which in both places meant you cannot go here
...do we?
PK is represented as one kinda
radiance
he's a worm
cuz wings and stuff yk, and i'd imagine him as a firefly
she's a moth
Exactly! The one im describing had useful stuff, but nothing you needed or was auper crazy like that
Pale King is a worm, White Lady is a root, Radiance is a moth, and GMS is a white woman
gms is a spider apparently
But it made the world feel connectedand mysterious
and john white's not a hb btw
hey i have an idea
Pale King isn't very buttefly-ish anyway
he's very attuned to the dormant god
even better
name him aylin or ayleen, it means bright and shining light, its a girls name but you can change it with an E or something
I feel so ignored actually ill jyst go back to playing hades 2
@hybrid flare
make him a her
idk, tryna combine latin elements into it
we've had 2 female antagonists till now
its from irish and turkish origins
and...?
Yall arent woke enough
is that enough
Make em genderfluid
2 much
the more women in important roles, the merrier
genderSOLID
no kidding, one of my villain oc's is
Maybe lux
eileen
very fun
kinda lackluster
thats the male version of it
truth
i dont really love verdania because of how useless it is
it has the same pronounciation as Ayleen
no because then people will relate it to that twink lamp from date everything
i was thinking something similar but
DO IT IT"LL BE GOOD
ideas:
Bright Monarch (then make him a butterfly)
Ayleen (then make him a woman)
Eileen
Lux
what is this
Who tf is this
bestie i dont think you know what twink means
name him eileen, it a play on the word Ayleen, its a girls name that means "bright and shining light" it has the same pronounciation, same meaning, same thing
@light swan
eileen also exists lmao
ye but girl name
eileen
and...?
any kind of "girls name" that ever exists WILL have seven trillion variations
i mean it's kinda random like one of them is called radiance and the other is grand mother silk
did you not get the point
i just realized i said twink bro i think i was reading your message and tyoped that 😭
actually yeah i should give bro an auraful name
theres a very simple solution though
Lord of Bright
lux from league of legends is not a twink
just call them a ""girls"" name even if they arent because why the fuck should that matter
JOHN WHITE
Eileen The Transcendent
that happens to me sooo much im sobbing
Luminarum
ABSOLUTE
LUMINARUM
Lord Serene
Idk what you guys are doing really but Eileen sounds like a grandma name
cuz like, Land Serene, Lord Serene
lusefer
Luminarum the vowbound commander
i dont like how luminarum sounds it feels like it should be luminarium
i think yall should call hime white john

fuck it references slop
Fun Fact: Sharks hate the taste of human flesh.
Luminum the Bright
Question: would using the Flea’s brew help me do the skip over in wormways?
make it a pun or a play on words PLEASE
the everbloom is described as the power from the First Light
or anything that is light adjacent
idea: give him a darkness related name for contrast stuff + metaphors
eeh
doesnt have to be names that mean light necessarily, but it can be names that mean things related to light
Fear full of hate perforates me like a yellowjacket.
like eileen
like Umbreo the Bright
did you not say it means shining light
he's not very connected to the AC
yall also dont need regular names
i mean the enemies are literally called silk and radiance, neither of those are names
rate the name eileen /10 i actually wanna know because i think it would be a fire name
Umbra means “dark” or “shade” in Latin I’m pretty sure
ah yes, vowbound ruler W H I T E
6/10
i was referring to zerofame but thank you for acknowleging my existance
i agree
10/10
Ooooohhh… whoops
fulgor's a banger name but that must make him lightning related
also talking about that
I’ll make sure to ignore you in future /j
isn't that a nightreign boss
the first games main villain is literally called the radiance, which is a very bright light
why reheat the nachos
Ye but a big point of john white's character is that he's just a guy
yeah
he's no hb
fulgora my beloved
alright chat give me a description of this john white guy
create your own description because we have no idea
illusion pull the lore snipper
abilities, ideologies, ambition, purpose, etc
Can silksong be played on mobile? I need to test this…
yeah via streaming like geforce now, steam link, etc
maybe side characters that would be neat
Fun Fact: You can use bread as an eraser.
see yall
… I’m sorry fucking EXCUSE YOU?
i need to do the speedrun achievement oh my goddd
xbox also has a free streaming service if you have that
@quartz cave have you seen this
im gonna hate it so much
ok thats the story of what happened, but who is he
also dont forget to say that out of the first light's blood everblooms sprout
he wants to protect his kingdom ig
First of all how DARE you even think of an action that would ruin good bread. Second of all who just starts a conversation like that?
outside of that we have no idea
is he caring and kind or is he ruthless and fierce, is he honest and serious or two faced and malleable
wait illusion is that map you showed all of the areas or just a prototype?
Fun Fact: Sharks hate the taste of human flesh.
prototype
Worn down man that tried his best to protect the kingdom but ended up causing the whole quarrel which included the AC usage of void, which ravaged half of the lands serene and now wants to keep the little of the kingdom safe within closed doors and the citizens not knowing the things he comitted and the state of the world
would he go the diplomatic way or do whats best no matter what happens in between
tbh i was worried the map would be small but this isnt that bad tbh
to get a character right this is what youve got to figure out
the motives the reasoning the personality
Yes, sharks mistake humans for other aquatic mammals which is why people are attacked by sharks. Only like 3 people each year get attacked by sharks
do people know him or is he a mysterious figure at the top
i eat sharks
what do you mean…
well you see we JUST came up with this guy earlier lol
none of this is figured out at all
i mean i eat sharks
i tell yall that once you figure out who he is, the name will come easily
Known before but after accepting the vow he wasnt seen much due to the physical changes the creeping dormant god's influence on him caused
and not only the name but also the story
i've got him written up i js need his name
if the leader you make is reckless then you inmediatelly know your world has more wars and invasions
He's not reckless but very desperate
If you’re talking about things like shark stew/soup the creation of those are hugely inhumane as sharks are harvested for their fins and then thrown back into the ocean to die of suffocation
i hope yall see my point, basically once you figure out enough about this character to say "what would he do" and be able to respond to that, everything will flow easily
no i 1v1 sharks and if they lose i eat them
he would keep wounding the dormant god that surrounds the kingdom to keep the void at bay but it requires something in exchange and he couldn't bear it no more, starting with giving out his associates before realizing the cost is too high
and that lead to him locking away the citizens of his kingdom from the outside, and the high command even further out of shame
alright youre starting to paint an image
and if i lose they eat me
good intentions with desperation leads to bad descisions
shit we need a google doc for ts
now keep building on that
i could make one but i am swarmed with shit from irl and different servers rn 💔
i wrote a doc once thats like 17 pages long
you got this nubbie!
