idk who he is but he'd agree with me i feel it

leaden delta
#

and also like felt more like an abyss

hybrid flare
#

what potato do you play on to lag with lost lace

onyx python
#

son how are you FPS dropping in hollow kniight

subtle lynx
hybrid flare
#

ye but he was a ragabaiter

subtle lynx
#

This game did not need void again

brisk parcel
hybrid flare
#

ragebaiter of the finest

subtle lynx
#

It has no correlation to what the story was going for

onyx python
sharp slate
#

was it really rage bait if they believed what they were saying

brisk parcel
exotic dome
#

it's the best possible final boss that you can have with a sloppy void act

hybrid flare
leaden delta
#

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

onyx python
#

or format it

hybrid flare
#

i think that void is fine but could've been handled better

light swan
#

do we have any ideas for void areas in lacelight

subtle lynx
wind mulch
#

themes and metaphors don't exist void is just evil black goo

hybrid flare
light swan
#

i know theres gonna be a big ancient civilization city

#

yea remnants of one, what else tho

#

how else would gms be killed tbf

light swan
#

heres what i have rn
orange, dark blue, yellow-green, reddish-pink, turquioise, and half of blue will be in the void half

subtle lynx
light swan
#

i could have some containment/research facility for void

hybrid flare

#

turquoise is likely a battlefield

hybrid flare
subtle lynx
onyx python
subtle lynx
#

What they had going with GMS and the citadel was cool, void and act 3 just drops all of that

hybrid flare
leaden delta
light swan
#

my idea for reddish-pink is another battlefield/wartorn castle belonging to lands serene that was lost to the void early in the war

leaden delta
#

Which ties back to the ancient civilization

hybrid flare

im just struggling on areas in the bottom right

leaden delta

hm

My simming courier

hybrid flare
onyx python
light swan
#

should everything just be

The Abyss

subtle lynx
hybrid flare
#

also illu pick a direction on how the journey will go

light swan
#

but with subareas

brisk parcel
#

also whhat is void in the real world is it like dark matter or something

hybrid flare
fiery burrow
#

team cherry had no new ideas 🥀

brisk parcel
hybrid flare
#

show the effects of the stuff not js replicate it

subtle lynx
hybrid flare
#

Your map also looks like the journey will be circular

subtle lynx
#

Since the story is supposed to make sense on its own

onyx python

as far as i know dual core is like super shit

light swan

#

i feel like silksong is just a sequel to hollow knight or something

fiery burrow
#

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

hybrid flare
leaden delta
light swan
#

kind of like instead of The Citadel
its The Abyss

hybrid flare

#

void was way more interesting in hk

hybrid flare
#

void in hk wasnt even threatening

onyx python
light swan
#

@hybrid flare here are paths for the first half

fiery burrow
brisk parcel
light swan
#

obviously there will be ability locks and stuff but im not that far in yet

hybrid flare
light swan
#

and theres other ways to enter the abyss too, theyre just more difficult kinda like the mist

wind mulch
#

it goes from a really interesting thematic tool to evil goo

hybrid flare
fiery burrow
#

But it wasn't it was a source of hope and a way to free the kingdom

onyx python
hybrid flare

#

what is this map

onyx python
hybrid flare

#

Is the second half all void ravaged areas or is there more to it

brisk parcel

onyx python
#

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

hybrid flare
terse heart
#

can someone make a 3d bellhome

light swan
# hybrid flare What would the other areas be

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

subtle lynx
# hybrid flare ??????, there are lots of concepts drawn out of hollow knight even if its a stan...

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?

hybrid flare
#

and the regrets that come and sacrifices need to be made

hybrid flare
hybrid flare
#

the whole power system is literally fucking soul

fiery burrow
#

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

subtle lynx
#

This guy is insane

fiery burrow
#

Its not a story with anything to say

hybrid flare
#

you're making a nonsensical point twin

fiery burrow

nahh nubbie is right whatever

fiery burrow

Silk is just reused soul its not interesting

Song magic is basically nonexistent

oh its starpengu but you got a rebrand

subtle lynx
hybrid flare
fiery burrow
#

Even the gloomsac journal entry doesn't even have her saying she's scared

exotic dome
#

do i almost feel fear

subtle lynx
#

In this game at least

hybrid flare
#

But it does, conceptually it's not very complex

fiery burrow
#

Yeah this is kinda freaky I'm like ALMOST scared but I would NEVER EVER show emotion

wind mulch
hybrid flare
#

like you dont need to actually play the 1st game to know that scary goo is scarily destructive

subtle lynx
#

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

brisk parcel
#

silksong feels bad cause it also has the same idea of a falling kingdom only difference being falling not fallen

fiery burrow

#

I wish I felt buggy like I once did

fiery burrow
#

Well yes the entire point was that it was powerful but it also lacked any unity to do anything and mostly kept to itself

subtle lynx
sharp slate
#

i guess introducing void at the end would be like introducing lifeblood taking over at the end after defeating the radiance

fiery burrow
#

Void mechanically makes sense in SS but its not quite as interesting and lets not pretend it fulfilled the same role in HK

hybrid flare
#

What i do agree on is the void really not being present anywhere else which yeah

brisk parcel
light swan
#

i want more void area ideas for lacelight

#

what else does the ancient civilization have

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

rocky jolt

and the creators of E33 outsourced shit tons of work n had lots of funding to work with

Elden ring is my favorite indie game

Ultrakill makes me feel really really buggy

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

sharp slate

thankfully there are a ton of games out there

opaque sigil

I'd rather play fnaf fangame #5123478 than gta 6

hybrid flare

thing is AAA's somehow mess up really badly having everything and indies are made in a garage toaster with 3$ of budget

subtle lynx

yea its just a lot worse when a triple a is bad

I've never met a horizon fan, online or irl

thats where the higherups of the government resides but their safe haven is dying

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

a viable path to the White Floral Valley is city > first vein > valley

# light swan i guessssss

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

should the red area be voided

i don't like it anyway

whats the purpose of red area

no idea

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

the void is spreading up but the first vein & floral valley are like walls stopping the spread

but the void is spreading around and heading up through lightmarsh

Maybe the upper golden area to the left is the generic feral overgrowth fed through the pale blood

lusty grove

When you kill father of the flame

should half the rusted chasm be voided

If we can find the mask shape

hybrid flare

not the top

Or maybe yeah

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

it would mess with the flow of the red region

connect the red area w wilderness though

light swan
#

what should the weird green area in the bottom middle be

hybrid flare
#

maybe trade routes between those 2 kingdoms

light swan
#

so like a port/oasis town

what if there are actually scraps of AC in the lands serene

It could be for the collapsed spire for some noble to refuse to leave

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

And rusted chasm likely being a means of entry of transport from one side of the kingdom

and the first vein will be the locations of the final bosses

oh intresting

spice cargo

spice cargo

it puts you on the floor

last judge seems doable, trobbios and first sinner are already hard to hitless, so they're probably hell

tight viper

#

@hybrid flare can we figure out the objective of the game

#

wait let me say my ideas

spice cargo
tight viper
# light swan

The Dark Shore or something like that for the port, maybe?

sharp slate
#

another game another higher being to beat the shit out of 😎

#

still waiting on the unveiling of lower beings

hybrid flare
heady iron
#

What if the game was about exploring a world ruined by a godlike entity, gaining power until you eventually face it

light swan
#

we already have the lore we just need to know the objectives and what lace is gonna do

raw pawn
#

Idk why but I no longer find myself using tools in combat

I just use needle and silk skills now

hybrid flare
exotic cedar
light swan
#

well idk about real game yet

#

WHAT IF

quartz cave
#

i think ive decided to make my own movie

heady iron
#

It'll join the purgatory of every other hk fan project

quartz cave
#

chat what are we thinking about

light swan
#

the goal is to rip open more seals of the First Light like what john white did in white floral valley @hybrid flare

quartz cave
#

LittleBigPlanet 2: The Movie

graceful oyster
#

Ohhh Dex stays grounded, hm

worldly umbra
#

little big planet ?

quartz cave
hybrid flare
light swan
#

but also this begs the question, what is john white's goal

#

OH I KNOW

graceful oyster
#

His first phase is 32s and my 1st phase was 33s, so I'm on the right track

quartz cave
#

read the file name for that image, its literally the truth

rocky jolt
light swan
#

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

hybrid flare
hybrid flare
light swan
#

wdym by rip stuff open

hybrid flare
light swan
#

like what happened in the white floral valley?

hybrid flare
#

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

light swan
#

so theres 2 different ways to cleanse void, lace's uinknown way vs john white's sacrifical wound things

hybrid flare
#

as a sacrifice, getting new powers and stuff

#

but john white couldnt handle the toll himself and had to use others

quartz cave
#

john whites a placeholder name right 💔

light swan
#

yes

quartz cave
#

can you call them ismoil

hybrid flare
#

while in the TE he straight up chucks everyone into it even himself, his 3rd phase being almost one with the god

light swan
#

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?

quartz cave
#

she asks nicely

worldly umbra
#

so i named some stuff

hybrid flare
#

Lace can bear it in favour of the other bugs but john white couldnt

worldly umbra
#

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)

hybrid flare
#

all for that trauma not to surface ever again for anyone

#

and she's naturally more durable for the god

graceful oyster
#

HMMM Dex's run is flawwwwed he got hit a couple times and missed a few UCs

#

This is possible...... stupid_yi

quartz cave
#

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

light swan
quartz cave
#

i feel like some uniqueness could really help the abilities

light swan
quartz cave
#

i also feel like that maps too medium sized

quartz cave
#

where are the very small areas or the grand giant locations

worldly umbra
hybrid flare
#

but we gotta make lace empathetic somehow too

quartz cave
#

why does everything have an exit everwhere, why not add some that are smaller ones locked to only one exit

light swan
#

the small areas type of thing

quartz cave
#

But they dont need to be

light swan
#

hive, hunters march, sands of karak, wisp thicket,

quartz cave
#

Ever wonder why they feel useless?

light swan
#

small areas definitely could work tho

quartz cave
#

Cause usually they give next to nothing and what they give is useless

hybrid flare
#

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

exotic dome
#

some exits could be only unlocked from one side

quartz cave
#

Why not have them be somewhat important on a way

hybrid flare
#

while lace resulted as the perfect vessel to have them

light swan
quartz cave
#

But not necessarily be something you need to go into

#

As an example taking from prince of persia the lost crown

light swan
#

also, there could always be subareas within these tbh

quartz cave
#

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

quartz cave
#

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

slender juniper
#

I'm karming my Lita

quartz cave
#

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

lusty grove
hybrid flare
#

and in the TE john white accepts most of the burden on himself and it is enough to contain it in the lower levels

lusty grove
#

and worldbuilding

worldly umbra
#

she karm on my eel until i eat her

lusty grove
#

not every area has to contain the best item ever

quartz cave
#

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

hybrid flare
#

as a retribution factor for everything he caused, as it is mostly his own fault

onyx python
quartz cave
#

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

hybrid flare
hybrid flare
onyx python
hybrid flare
#

idk how tc names their characters

quartz cave
#

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

worldly umbra
heady iron
#

another caucasian male villain 🥱

lusty grove
quartz cave
#

Unlike the other small areas from hk and silksong which are all supper hidden (hive, thicket, karak)

worldly umbra
#

sashini did it before me

hybrid flare
quartz cave
#

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

hybrid flare
worldly umbra
#

radiance

lusty grove
#

he's a worm

hybrid flare
#

cuz wings and stuff yk, and i'd imagine him as a firefly

lusty grove
quartz cave
lusty grove
#

Pale King is a worm, White Lady is a root, Radiance is a moth, and GMS is a white woman

hybrid flare
#

gms is a spider apparently

quartz cave
#

But it made the world feel connectedand mysterious

hybrid flare
#

and john white's not a hb btw

worldly umbra
#

hey i have an idea

lusty grove
hybrid flare
#

he's very attuned to the dormant god

lusty grove
worldly umbra
#

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

quartz cave

quartz cave
light swan
worldly umbra
#

DO IT IT"LL BE GOOD

light swan
#

we dont want the antagonist to be a league of legends twink

lusty grove
#

ideas:
Bright Monarch (then make him a butterfly)
Ayleen (then make him a woman)
Eileen
Lux

hybrid flare
#

what is this

quartz cave
worldly umbra
#

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

quartz cave
#

eileen also exists lmao

worldly umbra
#

eileen

lusty grove
quartz cave
#

any kind of "girls name" that ever exists WILL have seven trillion variations

onyx python
worldly umbra
#

did you not get the point

light swan
hybrid flare
#

actually yeah i should give bro an auraful name

quartz cave
#

theres a very simple solution though

lusty grove
light swan
#

lux from league of legends is not a twink

quartz cave
#

just call them a ""girls"" name even if they arent because why the fuck should that matter

hybrid flare
#

JOHN WHITE

light swan

Eileen The Transcendent

quartz cave

Luminarum

ABSOLUTE

Luminarum the vowbound commander

make it a pun or a play on words PLEASE

or anything that is light adjacent

lusty grove

idea: give him a darkness related name for contrast stuff + metaphors

hybrid flare

eeh

quartz cave
#

doesnt have to be names that mean light necessarily, but it can be names that mean things related to light

midnight magnet

Fear full of hate perforates me like a yellowjacket.

like eileen

lusty grove
quartz cave
#

did you not say it means shining light

hybrid flare
#

he's not very connected to the AC

quartz cave
#

yall also dont need regular names

#

i mean the enemies are literally called silk and radiance, neither of those are names

worldly umbra
#

rate the name eileen /10 i actually wanna know because i think it would be a fire name

scenic yoke
hybrid flare
#

ah yes, vowbound ruler W H I T E

quartz cave
hybrid flare
#

fulgor's a banger name but that must make him lightning related

quartz cave

also talking about that

scenic yoke

I’ll make sure to ignore you in future /j

heady iron
#

isn't that a nightreign boss

quartz cave
#

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

worldly umbra
hybrid flare
#

he's no hb

light swan
#

fulgora my beloved

quartz cave
#

alright chat give me a description of this john white guy

light swan

create your own description because we have no idea

xbox also has a free streaming service if you have that

#

@quartz cave have you seen this

remote osprey
#

im gonna hate it so much

quartz cave
#

ok thats the story of what happened, but who is he

hybrid flare
light swan
#

he wants to protect his kingdom ig

scenic yoke
light swan
#

outside of that we have no idea

quartz cave
#

is he caring and kind or is he ruthless and fierce, is he honest and serious or two faced and malleable

worldly umbra
#

wait illusion is that map you showed all of the areas or just a prototype?

lean pendant
hybrid flare
# quartz cave ok thats the story of what happened, but who is *he*

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

quartz cave
#

would he go the diplomatic way or do whats best no matter what happens in between

light swan
#

tbh i was worried the map would be small but this isnt that bad tbh

quartz cave
#

to get a character right this is what youve got to figure out

#

the motives the reasoning the personality

scenic yoke
quartz cave
#

do people know him or is he a mysterious figure at the top

scenic yoke
light swan
#

none of this is figured out at all

remote osprey
quartz cave
#

i tell yall that once you figure out who he is, the name will come easily

hybrid flare
quartz cave
#

and not only the name but also the story

hybrid flare
#

i've got him written up i js need his name

quartz cave
#

if the leader you make is reckless then you inmediatelly know your world has more wars and invasions

hybrid flare
#

He's not reckless but very desperate

scenic yoke
# remote osprey i mean i eat sharks

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

quartz cave
#

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

remote osprey
hybrid flare
#

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

hybrid flare
#

and that lead to him locking away the citizens of his kingdom from the outside, and the high command even further out of shame

quartz cave
#

alright youre starting to paint an image

remote osprey
#

and if i lose they eat me

quartz cave
#

good intentions with desperation leads to bad descisions

hybrid flare
#

shit we need a google doc for ts

quartz cave
#

now keep building on that

light swan
#

i could make one but i am swarmed with shit from irl and different servers rn 💔

worldly umbra
#

i wrote a doc once thats like 17 pages long

light swan

you got this nubbie!
