[nimble pebble]

Silknever more like Silkgetoriginal

[tribal merlin]

99 out of 100 times no news means they're working

[formal karma]

c'mon frostyyy

[barren roost]

every time we say silknever it gets a day closer to release

[sacred stratus]

ok here's the formula to how much time we'll have to wait for SS to come out:
lim(x->0+) X^(-1)

for those of you who haven't figured out: the answer is infinity

[tribal merlin]

there's no π, no e, no i, no integral, no sum... that formula sucks monkey balls

[sacred stratus]

still correct tho so eat shit

[pallid flare]

rude

[nimble pebble]

Silksong comes out when people stop making SIlknever jokes

[sacred stratus]

me in a nutshell

[pallid flare]

ironic

[sacred stratus]

impossible

[surreal mortar]

Guess it’s not coming out then

[sacred stratus]

the cycle cannot be broken

[nimble pebble]

[pallid flare]

silknever indeed, my friends

[sacred stratus]

noooo......

[nimble pebble]

Nah it'll come out anyone who unironically says silknever has never had to actually wait for a game to come out and is impatient

[pallid flare]

sorry but what is "waiting"?

[sacred stratus]

idk either

[chilly nexus]

the only constant in life is silksong's scope-creep

[formal karma]

assuming the time they're spending currently is being used on asset development

[serene chasm]

4

[coarse leaf]

No, 0

Zero probability
Silksong never
Ha ha

[tribal merlin]

tho zero probability doesn't equal impossible

[serene chasm]

My uncle invented math and he said it was 4

[pallid flare]

may I talk to your uncle

he has some explaining to do

[coarse leaf]

If you have an infinite set of possible events, sure

[analog forge]

no, because hes part of the "keeping the knowledge of the flat earth away from humans" society

and he lives on the opposite side of the world, vertically speaking

[coarse leaf]

Something something Lebesque measure zero something something finite subset

[pallid flare]

you're making no sense tess

[coarse leaf]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely

[tribal merlin]

nah he's just too lazy, he hasn't properly prepared the lecture and just cites wiki

[languid linden]

What

[pallid flare]

it's too late for this

[coarse leaf]

[languid linden]

Actually no don't explain it

[serene chasm]

too late. Tesswall coming up

[pallid flare]

things are already in motion and cannot be undone

[pallid flare]

an area of one what

[coarse leaf]

:(

[coarse leaf]

1

[tribal merlin]

it's just a popular misconception that zero probability means impossible.
tho every impossible event has zero probability, the other way isn't true

[coarse leaf]

It’s a coordinate plane, units aren’t necessary

[pallid flare]

you cant say that and "imagine" at the same time

how big is "1" in reality

[tribal merlin]

depends on the font size you choose

[coarse leaf]

Mathematical objects aren’t real

You can imagine it is, tho
Just uh
Pick a unit ig

Doesn’t really matter, conclusions are the same

[pallid flare]

am i real tho

[tribal merlin]

as real as any discord bot can be

[pallid flare]

if i'm real then why isnt that mathematical object real

[coarse leaf]

There are actually lots of philosophical views on the reality of numbers and mathematical objects
I say it’s all stupid and that we made it up

[tribal merlin]

mathematics is an abstraction ie an idea, which in itself has no physicality.
it can sort of manifest physically in your brain

[pallid flare]

is silksong real?

[tribal merlin]

or make your game crash when it didn't manifest properly in somebody else's brain

[pallid flare]

like it doesnt really exist, does it?

[coarse leaf]

Platonists have entered the chat

[pallid flare]

i dont mean it like "haha silknever"

[tribal merlin]

it physically does exist to a degree. it is evolving to a state where it can be called "Hollow Knight: SilkSong"

[shell yacht]

Damn didnt know Will and Ari made a sequel to coolmathgames .com

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

Hi Powdered

[shell yacht]

howdy

[coarse leaf]

Long time no see

[pallid flare]

it's all numbers in some machine

[tribal merlin]

it's not numbers though, it's electrons and magnetic areas

[pallid flare]

so in a way

it exists

[tribal merlin]

toldcha

[ocean mulch]

Yes

[pallid flare]

damn

[coarse leaf]

:thonk:

[pallid flare]

can this be classified as a silknever discussion

[reef scarab]

silksong

[coarse leaf]

Where can I read the latest news about ss?

[reef scarab]

Fun fact if you go to the Silksong announcement trailer you’ll see a guy commenting for a hundred and something days and you’ll find me calling him a nerd for about 66 days in a row

[serene chasm]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

Reminder: The latest news for both Hollow Knight and Silksong is in #hk-announcements.
Check the pinned messages for more information, including a FAQ.

[coarse leaf]

Thank you

[serene chasm]

Oh thats you! jerk

[reef scarab]

what

[serene chasm]

calling me a nerd is really cruel

[reef scarab]

That’s not you

[analog forge]

but its true, you're a dork, nerd >:(

[reef scarab]

right?

[serene chasm]

maybe it is, maybe its not

[reef scarab]

tell me your name then

[analog forge]

maybe if you werent such a nerd, dork, you wouldnt be called a nerd

[reef scarab]

that guy literally has his name as his username tell me without looking at that comment section

[analog forge]

Its a joke, bucket.

read a book on humor or something

[serene chasm]

Hari Dimitriou

[analog forge]

What a cloddish name

[serene chasm]

yeah, its pretty lame

[reef scarab]

There’s no /j, how am I supposed to laugh?

[languid linden]

Found it

[analog forge]

Glad your starting to put that book on humor to use bucket

[reef scarab]

Funny number in 3 days

[languid linden]

Cool

As long as Silksong comes out by then, I'm fine with that

[lapis oyster]

pog

[mortal bluff]

Can’t wait for that apwot interview! Do we have any more details aside from it’s in late July?

[lapis oyster]

what happens first OW2 or silskonmg

[languid linden]

It's about TC, not necessarily SS

[barren roost]

I remember you!

[serene chasm]

SS. Jeff left. OW2 is dead

[lapis oyster]

i believe in a aron

[languid linden]

What's OW2

[lapis oyster]

overwatch 2

[languid linden]

Ah ok

[ocean coral]

lore

[languid linden]

Oh right I need to reset that

[primal oriole]

I just saw this, APWOT is going to be great

[vivid belfry]

tiramisu confirmed for silksong

[tribal merlin]

I think I better apply for TC cook cuz that reads like some hobo shit

[haughty brook]

I love the last line, "...wear some shows or something"

[nimble pebble]

I've made Tiramisu

It's good

[tribal merlin]

I've made layered tiramisu ice cream with mascarpone ice cream, cookie dough ice cream and coffee liquor ice cream 🙂

[edgy sleet]

i feel like silksongs release is getting closer

might just be me tho

[nimble pebble]

Tiramisu ice cream sounds like discount tiramisu

[tribal merlin]

it's not discount if you make the ice creams yourself

[nimble pebble]

Tiramisu is a cake though

[tribal pagoda]

No it’s whole food brand so it’s not even ice cream

[tribal merlin]

people still seem to enjoy it as ice cream as it sold out in 1 day

[nimble pebble]

[haughty brook]

So...let's talk about Greymoor

[nimble pebble]

Desserts are great, I love them so much probably has to do with my Heritage

Anyways Greymoor I guess

[tribal merlin]

greymoor... ice cream?
nvm me

[haughty brook]

Ok so, I have a theory of the area, just a theory but I kinda believe that for the descriptions TC gave us it could be that Greymoor used to be the most populated area, or at least had a great influence over Pharloom before it was abandoned, kinda like the Detroid of the kingdom.

[cunning geode]

Detroit*?

[nimble pebble]

[tribal merlin]

no it's detroid, like in detroidvania

[haughty brook]

Yeah, Detroit lol. Yeah, the point is that Greymoor gives me the same vibes of those abandoned places like Chernobly and the such.

[nimble pebble]

Detroidvania my favourite game genre

Chernobly

[cunning geode]

well Detroit and Chernobyl are the way they are for very different reasons but I see your point

[haughty brook]

Although I can see Greymoor falling of grace for some economic reason rather than some big ass event.

[tribal merlin]

greymoor could be like some foreshadowing of what could happen to the lively areas of pharloom, it's riddled with that loom symbol (or at least what I've seen of it is)

[nimble pebble]

Pretty sure it's a graveyard due to the fact that it's full of Graves

[tribal merlin]

maybe they put the loom on graves then as a symbol

[nimble pebble]

[haughty brook]

I mean, Greymoor is said to be the biggest area yet by TC themselves so I can think that we could visit some abandoned industrial zone or something similar.

[tribal merlin]

it was the biggest area yet in 2019

[haughty brook]

I mean, it can still be the biggest area in comparison to the other areas in SS.

[tribal merlin]

yeah but there's no telling what they've done since then

area size wise

[haughty brook]

Anyways, so Greymoor seems to have a varierty of aesthetics and backgrounds despite being all, well, grey, which makes me exited to see the rest of it.

[nimble pebble]

Now I don't know if you're ready for this but...

It's more grey

[silver oak]

Detriot become vania

[brisk shale]

Vania become human

[nimble pebble]

Banana becomes human

[old pine]

oh no this poor chat

[olive bobcat]

fake

[cunning geode]

nice

[olive bobcat]

You may think "but Alu, that's the same thing you've shown us before"

[serene chasm]

Cant wait for the Silksong superbowl ad

[olive bobcat]

You are wrong for one simple reason

I changed this part up here to be the right ad it's completely different now

[chilly nexus]

ugh i love TC so much. and the fact they're effectively reducing their hourly pay by spending extra time continuing to build and perfect silksong... kings

[serene chasm]

Im just happy theyre eating well

[chilly nexus]

that too

[onyx wigeon]

when is the game coming out

[chilly nexus]

no one know

[onyx wigeon]

I am going insane

[serene chasm]

When its done

[onyx wigeon]

i will wake up one day and it will be out i then i will wake up from a dream

[chilly nexus]

tbh the insanity is reasonable, as it's never really been too outlandish to see SS as coming out in a matter of weeks, but the main thing to note from edge mag is that TC operates under scrope-creep, which really means that as close as the game might feel to being done, you'll never actually know if it's done until it is, so no one has any idea

think of it like adding points to a mindmap without setting a hard border or anything, but each point you add might inspire a new one. you never know that the map is complete until you see that it is. you can't picture the completed map before you've seen it

you can have an abstract idea of it, and obviously have some scope and story in mind, but yeah you can't picture what the whole thing looks like when completed, until you've seen it in that state

TC's kinda been in the same boat as us with SS possibly being near completion seemingly perpetually, but new things that they discover keep getting added or old ones improved, which isn't a bad thing

My favourite part of edge actually was where they briefly talked about this. i'd've loved a whole article or blogpost on their process :p

• the david lynch/angelo badalementi bit

[serene chasm]

has the article come out?

Or was the david lynch thing in the edge article? I dont remember that part

[haughty brook]

The David Lynch reference was in Edge.

[chilly nexus]

watch twin peaks + the return if you haven't yet

[serene chasm]

I want to say that I will but I know I wont. If the start align and I get the chance, I will

[mortal bluff]

Fake

[serene chasm]

I dont see anything fake. ||Im trying to find quirrel drowned in the background||

[haughty brook]

I don't see anything fake either.

[serene chasm]

Aluo is just posting screenshots and saying fake to confuse us

lol my dumbass thinking anything fake is aluo

[haughty brook]

Fair, Aluo is the fake master.

[chilly nexus]

ik we talked about this already, but the chains in the background remind me of those underwater mines, which has me thinking this section could be underwater but idkkkkkk

[mortal bluff]

It’s got fish as well

[chilly nexus]

i am disappointed that when I search "nemo mines", i see seagulls and no mines...

would TC change the physics at all for under water?

i feel like they'd have to at least slightly

[mortal bluff]

I assume they would if it was made

[haughty brook]

Nah, is just TC making wierd aquatic areas without being underwater, remember the Fog Canyon.

[chilly nexus]

fog canyon kinda felt underwater but they didn't change it so there's that

[mortal bluff]

Or her water ability is just called concrete shoes

[tawdry valley]

Define “physics”
don’t expect ori and the blind forest type swimming if that’s what you mean.

[chilly nexus]

no just like, a bit more slowed down. hornet won't be swimming for sure yeah

[serene chasm]

The Pharloom mafia is harsh

[tawdry valley]

We’ve seen how TC tackles underwater traversal anyways, and it was scrapped because it didn’t feel like something they wanted

Plus, from what we can see now (the demo) swimming underwater would have to become an ability of its own.

[haughty brook]

Also it was like a two seconds tease for a rapidly discarded idea that was not mentioned by TC like with the Forest of Bones being cut in HK, mentioned by them and then added in SS.

[tawdry valley]

Which I doubt is something they would want to re-explore, as it would make every body of water a point of interest.

[chilly nexus]

yeah, my gut says this'll just be a "suspend disbelief" moment, if the area actually is an "underwater" area, but it could also be above water and just look like it's underwater? but I'm iffy on TC changing the physics at all, let alone allowing hornet to dive under water

[tawdry valley]

Well either way, If they do somehow plan on changing how the physics work, it probably won’t be for the sake of water traversal.

[haughty brook]

I wouldn't think so hard and just asume the Coral place its a "wierd, fantasy like area that defies preconceptions of our own real world refernces to induce awe and wonder to the player when visiting for the the first time"

[chilly nexus]

that's what i'm thinking too yeah with the whole "suspend disbelief" bit

[tawdry valley]

The issue with the coral place is less the fact it has sea creatures out of water (fog canyon explains this with the jellyfish and likely the biome itself not actually being natural) but the fact it has crustaceans

Which, considering how TC literally remade godtamer’s initial concept on the basis of it being a lobster, is sorta surprising.

but yeah, we can only wait and see. None of what’s being discussed is set in stone

[haughty brook]

I mean, we didn't saw much "lobster" in SS demo so who know how are goind to design them in the actual game.

[chilly nexus]

and mines :p the (supposed) mine chains, murkiness of the (supposed) water, and (supposed) bubbles, (and monochromatic coral) give the area a deep, underwater, foreboding vibe. as if hornet's gonna come across a sunken palace hoursing a dark secret or something

[haughty brook]

Also the "mine chains" are just the same chains that appear sometimes in other places, like in the SS intro.

[chilly nexus]

like think the shark hideout of nemo. in the screenshot is the minefield outside the sunken ship, and the sunken ship is the sub area

[chilly nexus]

in isolation sure, but all together it works. and there's coral everywhere

[vivid belfry]

I wouldn't be surprised if the vertical background chains are the same ones hauling up smokerock from deep docks

[chilly nexus]

that's possible too, and definitely along the lines of past macro-world-building we've seen from TC ala the rain in oT and the blue lake

[serene chasm]

Maybe these are the same chains?

[vivid belfry]

perhaps

the smokerock elevators are the only entirely vertical chains we've seen in context but they could definitely be something else

[heavy magnet]

i definitely expect us to get back to that bridge area at some point

[vivid belfry]

fast travel to moss grotto

[serene chasm]

If we cant jump down Im refunding the game

[heavy magnet]

when we got to go back to the Howling Cliffs and it turned into this entire new area in the first game it blew my mind

[fleet temple]

it'd probably be a howling cliffs situation

[vivid belfry]

not to doubt your gaming abilities but I think you'll exceed the refund timeframe before that happens

[heavy magnet]

buy two copies
keep one to refund if necessary

[chilly nexus]

tbh i'm counting on us being able to do this too yeah :p

[olive bobcat]

Thank you thank you

[heavy magnet]

bugs are small
no fall damage
the smaller you is, the lighter you fall

[edgy hazel]

kicks someone's cat I want Silksong right nEOW!

[cunning geode]

[silver oak]

NO THE CAT

[serene chasm]

Turns out that was Ari's cat and SS is cancelled forever.

[silver oak]

Look what you did

[coarse leaf]

Silksong

[lament peak]

👍

[serene chasm]

Silksong?

[coarse leaf]

How do you all still have things to discuss

[dreamy zenith]

Tesseract has said silksong 567 times

[serene chasm]

Hey Vsauce! Michael here. What is discussion?

[coarse leaf]

It’s when you when you uh

[dreamy zenith]

i thought that was uwu speak ver for a bit

[coarse leaf]

That was an old username I barely remember making

[serene chasm]

Siwkswong is my favowite gwame

[dreamy zenith]

Hey adeno do you have any cool facts about adenosine triphosphate

[coarse leaf]

Haven’t been here since like 2019 maybe?

[coarse leaf]

It makes energy and shit so you don’t die 👍

[dreamy zenith]

pretty cool

Gonna figure out if its based or not

hmm. On the side of being based yes

just about

since its 6.8 to 7.4 thats closer to based

[gilded adder]

everyone

[serene chasm]

howdy Jonny

[gilded adder]

Hello Curly

[vivid belfry]

Jonny my guy

[gilded adder]

Anybody else been following Crowsworn's kickstarter? It's been a smash hit. I'm so happy for Mongoose Studio. I'm super excited for three games now: Silksong, Elden Ring and now Crowsworn.

Hello Grover

[vivid belfry]

I'm excited about the fact that there's apparently going to be a third subnautica game

[gilded adder]

Oh?

First I'm hearing about this

[vivid belfry]

Yeah I've heard a few people mention it in discussions about below zero

I haven't actually verified it though

[gilded adder]

I've never beaten the first game
I got it on Epic Games for free and I got to a certain point but never continued and now I lost my original save file.

[vivid belfry]

F

It's pretty easy to make progress quickly when you know how and where to find shit though

[gilded adder]

Yea, makes sense.

But I'm too busy with other games right now to play it. I have a backlog I need to get through.

[vivid belfry]

I've had a hell of a time with steam summer sale as well

I'm still playing omori and haven't touched the 3 other games I bought

One of which is nier replicant and that's gonna be a whole fuckin thing

[gilded adder]

Oh shit, I recently finished Nier Gestalt, the original version, and it's become my favorite game. I hope you enjoy it. It's a special experience.

[vivid belfry]

Yeah, I already got all 26 endings of automata, against my better judgement

[gilded adder]

Luckily, replicant only has 5

[vivid belfry]

How much weapon unlock grinding is required for them

[gilded adder]

For A you just need to complete the game
For B you just need to complete it again
For C, D, and E you need to get all the weapons in the game. It's not too bad of a task. There's only one weapon that took me a little bit to get but it wasn't too bad.

You'll understand once you play it.

[vivid belfry]

Alright

Lookin forward to it, I've heard the combat is a big step up from the original and the sequel

[gilded adder]

Yea, they improved the combat a lot compared to the original from what I heard.

[fiery coral]

sorry what

how are there 26 endings

[gilded adder]

Most of them are joke endings/game overs. The game has 5 main endings iirc.

[fiery coral]

ah

[fading tide]

@fiery coral Baba is so damn hard

I bought it a while ago and play it every now and again, it’s so difficult

[fiery coral]

Agreed!

took me > 30 hours to fully clear the first 4 worlds

and apparently there are like 10-12

[fading tide]

I love the concept and art, it’s just going to take ages to beat lmao

[lunar widget]

A L L I S E M P T Y

[pallid flare]

baba is you destroyed every brain cell i have ever owned

[still owl]

I need to buy it

[fading tide]

Especially because I don’t want to use guides or hints or anything like that

[fiery coral]

do it, it's great

[fading tide]

It’s pretty cheap too isn’t it? Can’t remember

[fiery coral]

yeah

[lunar widget]

brain cell is empty

[fading tide]

Definitely an excellent puzzle game for the price

[fiery coral]

love how it just allows you access to what (I assume) is the final level so early on

[pallid flare]

i have heard that it's a lot bigger than it seems

[fiery coral]

more than one ending, maybe?

[fading tide]

Yeah you said like 10-12 worlds right?

[fiery coral]

yeah, a friend told me

[fading tide]

Iirc there are ~240 levels I think

[fiery coral]

there was this level called A Way Out? that was labelled as the finale, so I assume that's meant to be the basic ending

[pallid flare]

yeah 240 sounds about right

[fiery coral]

analogous to the replacing THK ending in HK

[fading tide]

Ah, makes sense

[tired knot]

I see lots of ss discussion

[fading tide]

I wonder what the Baba radiance is then 😈

[fiery coral]

[fading tide]

#sk-discussion becomes general sometimes 😁

[pallid flare]

#sk-discussion is #baba-is-you

[fading tide]

It’ll be a nice game to play on my laptop during class too, since I definitely won’t have it finished by the end of summer

[pallid flare]

i should play more of that game

[barren roost]

does that mean omori has been usurped?

[pallid flare]

you can't stop the omori

[worn phoenix]

Have we figured out what this is yet (sorry for the bad quality) it was dropped by the little guy with the shield at deep docks?

[tawdry valley]

Might just be a different rosary skin.

[signal crag]

Rosaries worth 5

[worn phoenix]

oh ok

[tawdry valley]

Like how geo can drop in different values and with corresponding color

[worn phoenix]

ok cheers

[edgy sleet]

can someone tell me all the areas we know?

[worn phoenix]

mossy grotto, deep docks and that other grey one

[charred pulsar]

[fading tide]

Old Church I think it’s called

[proud vale]

Yoyoyo

[edgy sleet]

i thought it was bone forest

[ember geode]

There’s a bone forest-like location

[fading tide]

Oh right bone forest

[worn phoenix]

Forest of bones is what its called

[pallid flare]

barnacle area

[fading tide]

Isn’t there one called Old Church? I thought I read that somewhere

[edgy sleet]

wait whats greymore?

[worn phoenix]

the grey one

[pallid flare]

dont forget coral area

[fleet temple]

also citadel

or whatever that city is

[worn phoenix]

mossy grotto, deep docks, coral forest, greymoore, misty moore, citadel and the forest of bones. i think thats all of it

[signal crag]

Yeah, it’s the small area right after Moss Mother

[signal crag]

Also The Marrow

[worn phoenix]

mossy grotto, deep docks, coral forest, greymoore, misty moore, citadel, forest of bones and old church.

[tawdry valley]

How do we feel about the forest of bones bossfight

[worn phoenix]

the marrow is the stagway thingo tho

[signal crag]

Nah, it’s the bells tunnels the bell beast uses to travel, confirmed in EDGE

[worn phoenix]

oh ok

[pallid flare]

isnt the marrow and bell tunnel the same thing

[worn phoenix]

maybe the thing is called the marrow and the tunnels are like the stagway so it might be the marroway or the marrow tunnels

[edgy sleet]

you gotta tame the marrow

[worn phoenix]

in wonder if youll get only a certain amount of tries per area to tame it or if it will be like your average boss battle.

[fleet temple]

well ss will probably be fairly difficult so i don't think making you unable to learn it's patterns and get over that curve would be fair

[worn phoenix]

yeah

maybe youll have to lure the marrow in with food or those berries that you see in the demos

[pallid flare]

It's probably an average boss battle

[fleet temple]

also don't you mean the bell beast

[worn phoenix]

theyre the same thing

[fleet temple]

no, i'm pretty sure tc said that the area was the marrow and the bug was called the bell beast in EDGE

[worn phoenix]

yeah your right

i think that name might not be final though because it doesnt really have a ring to it if u know what i mean but who knows

[fleet temple]

maybe it'll be called the bell beast when you first encounter it but maybe later in the game you'll find its actual name

[worn phoenix]

or maybe its a case of how the ravager in minecraft used to be called the pillager beast but was changed

[tired knot]

Fat hornet!

Beautiful, better be an ability in silksong

no they will abruptly end development

Didn’t they just suddenly release hollow knight when they finished it? I think they wouldn’t do anything differently

It wasn’t finished on release tho

[brisk shale]

What do you mean by that

[pallid flare]

charms were unbalanced

content was missing

game was ... buggy

[brisk shale]

That makes sense

Then if they were to do something differently is just make sure the game isn’t buggy on release

[pallid flare]

they have game testers and QA now

[signal crag]

Also some content was obviously missing, like the hive knight boss

Also more experience in development in general, so i don’t really expect another lifeblood update to happen

[elder flicker]

They've raised the expectations way too high to even consider not realising a near perfect game at launch

[stable current]

Hello

[signal crag]

Charms are unbalanced

[elder flicker]

Helo

[pallid flare]

well they still are, yea

[elder flicker]

And joni's blessing is still in the game

[brisk shale]

I want more tools that mesh together like charms in hollow knight

[signal crag]

Joni’s blessing was nerfed for no reason

[elder flicker]

If joni's blessing is not a massive fail as a charm then I don't know what is

[brisk shale]

Because the combinations of charms weren’t that effective for me

[analog forge]

I quite liked the charm combos we had

Especially dream sheild and wielder

[elder flicker]

With that combo you become dream and get incredible "luck"

[analog forge]

just dont look at the top left corner

Absolutely nothing to see there.

[elder flicker]

Why

[analog forge]

Thats where the loaded mods are displayed on the main menu and such

[elder flicker]

What are thy secrets thou try to keep from me

Oh okay I thought you were talking about the discord server

[umbral gazelle]

It's painful to wait

[pallid flare]

how can a game take longer than a day to make?

[short wagon]

I want to play the song of silk!

[sonic elk]

We all do that's why we are here

[olive bobcat]

Well, not every game is gonna be a modern Gleamlight

[nimble radish]

maybe they should be

[pallid flare]

they should strive for that level of perfection

Crowsworn Kickstarter went crazy wow

HK fans really killin it w that

[pallid flare]

we like game

[waxen agate]

Think of the funding SS would get now if kick started

[pallid flare]

a lot of money

[waxen agate]

I just set up my new 55 inch tv and switch ready to go for SS. Hoping for it soon!

Won’t turn it on til then

[haughty ingot]

yea but TC already has the funds

[odd spoke]

[signal crag]

they could still get ideas from fans tho

Play as NYC Grindle for 10 minutes until you get shoved in the slammer and then Hornet bails you out in Silksong

[modest night]

To be honest im very surprised the channel is still alive despite it being mostly shitposting

[coarse leaf]

Planned Release Date: TBA
sad

[proud vale]

Alive as ever

[coarse leaf]

I wish they told us how much is done out of what is planned.

[proud vale]

Too much pressure

[nimble pebble]

We have occaisonal SS talk then it's random bullshit

[coarse leaf]

wdym?

[sacred stratus]

me when SS finally releases: "what? still here? hand that over, that thing, your SS copy. for my own happiness"

[pallid flare]

it's all shit posting here

yes

[barren roost]

oh no

[copper knot]

[modest night]

i cant even be mad at you all anymore i think you exhausted every topic about ss

[copper knot]

god everytime i glance at my pfp i loose 50% of my soul

[pallid flare]

we did

every time we talk about silksong it's just because we're forced to

[modest night]

😔

[copper knot]

sonia what do you think of my pfp

[proud vale]

If people know what is being developed when, it creates certain expectations for when release will happen - thereby creating expectations that can be broken resulting in backlash

[modest night]

it's an interesting pfp for sure

[sacred stratus]

lol at this point I don't even expect SS to ever come out I just expect it to go through development hell and cease to exist

[brittle garnet]

Let's talk about...
Weapon upgrades. Do you think they will be the same as in Hollow Knight? Will they exist at all?

[ornate stratus]

Such a terrible fate

[sacred stratus]

probably but I think they'll change the system a bit

[pallid flare]

Weapon upgrades will totally be a thing

I don't know how one will upgrade them though

[modest night]

really should rename the channel "goodgamestoplaywhilewaitingforsilksongtorelease-discussion"

sorry arch but I tried

i really did

[brittle garnet]

I appreciate it

[ornate stratus]

Not yet

[modest night]

to be fair i'm not sure how you can elaborate solely based on speculations

i wonder if crowsworn will release sooner than ss

[trim estuary]

done

[nimble pebble]

I wouldn't mind doing that

[rapid topaz]

downloading rick astley clip and reupload it under a clickbait thumbnail is something I've never seen before

[pallid flare]

it probably won't

[modest night]

i mean they said the latest they could release it is dec 2023

that's not too far away

[nimble pebble]

That's their earliest Sonia

Or more so when the Kickstarter demands they release it

[pallid flare]

they're totally not gonna hit that and you know that

[modest night]

listen let me dream

[copper knot]

they could pull a hiveswap and take more than 5 years to release

[manic zenith]

bruh, your pfp and nick

[modest night]

ok what about elden ring then 😤

[nimble pebble]

Well with Croworns rediculous funding compared to HK's kickstarter I'm sure they'll do just fine with a decent amount of time

[manic zenith]

elden rinever

[sacred stratus]

I guess this server became a hub for most metroidvenia lovers

[copper knot]

its glorious right?

[nimble pebble]

Has a relase date

[modest night]

yeah

[sacred stratus]

can't wait

[manic zenith]

yes

[modest night]

i was wondering if you think it'll release sooner than ss

[copper knot]

Thanks! UwU

[sacred stratus]

I just finished DS3 and damn does it slap hard

[modest night]

listen i'm as desperate as you all at this point tbh

[sacred stratus]

definitely looking for elden ring

[modest night]

i'm really looking forward to salt and sacrifice

[nimble pebble]

I never played the first so idk what to expect

[copper knot]

ive only backed 2 projects on kickstarter

[sacred stratus]

I already told you that the release date for SS is the solution to the this formula:
lim as (X->0+) of X^(-1)

[rapid topaz]

I've heard that Blasphemous is also a good game

[nimble pebble]

I've backed none since I'm a broke ass bitch but I might back the Crowsworn kickstarter if I find some money

[modest night]

blasphemous is high quality but it's kinda ehhhhh

[sacred stratus]

it is

[modest night]

like it's not super fun or very challenging

[copper knot]

fuck you kickstarter

[modest night]

the only hard bosses are the dlc ones, like those were very nice but the regular bosses are pretty boring

[nimble pebble]

It's a decent Metroidvania with a super confusing 100%/true ending method

[sacred stratus]

Blasphemous has nice combat and world design but there are no interesting movement abilities and it does fall of in the endgame

[manic zenith]

Same, kinda. Im not super excited about this but Im waiting for that
and I still havent finished first one

[copper knot]

thank god i can still read updates through emails

kciksstarter hates me

[modest night]

i always want to come back to blasphemous and 100% but there are achievements like talking to all the corpses and shit

[sacred stratus]

did you donate?

[modest night]

it is a good game tho

[manic zenith]

These new game+ bosses are fucking
I really fucking wish they werent locked behind it

[sacred stratus]

yeah the progression is super weird but good overall

unfortunately I didn't get to the DLC

[modest night]

i wish the normal bosses were as good as the ng+ ones

[copper knot]

no i didnt donate but kickstarter was nice to me and gave me updates for crowsworn that i didnt pay for

this is sarcasm

[manic zenith]

yeah

[modest night]

because man it was kinda boring

[nimble pebble]

Crowsworn is at 528k, if they keep this up weekly then Crowsworn will have a budget fo 2 million dollars

[pallid flare]

yeah fuck you kickstarter

[sacred stratus]

but yes the bosses are pretty easy on new game I tried NG+ with a few modifiers and it's tough

[manic zenith]

I think the most interesting boss of base game to me is this Crisanta girl or whatever her name is

[nimble pebble]

Kickstarter works for me

[modest night]

i did the no flask shit on ng+ and that was fun, like i wish the achievements were more challenges like that instead of collecting x

[ornate stratus]

Be better person

[rapid topaz]

I have seen a screenshot of a blasphemous boss which was kind of disturbing to look at

[sacred stratus]

hopefully it will be a sign to all indie developers that people do care about their work and are willing to support them

[modest night]

what boss

[copper knot]

the last game i played gave me a mental breakdown lets hope crowsworn doesnt give me a mental breakdown

[sacred stratus]

she was pretty epic but appearently parrying her is broken

[nimble pebble]

I like to 100% games that have the option which is why I haven't played Blasphemous yet because all the confusing shit you have to do to achieve it is offputting, but I'll pick it up eventally

[vagrant umbra]

Everhood?

[modest night]

yeah it is broken

[copper knot]

no

[manic zenith]

yeah, tho I heard they fixed it? Or its still broken

[rapid topaz]

sort of a giant baby blindfolded

[manic zenith]

the most meh boss of the game

[tall hinge]

like fnf! it got $2.2M in its kickstarter

[modest night]

oh that boss is bad in game

[rapid topaz]

but it looks terrifying xD

[copper knot]

oh yeah i backed fnf for shits and giggles

[sacred stratus]

no idea I got a pirated version from a friend and I have no idea if it was current patch or not

[copper knot]

the devs are very fucking weird but heh i wanna see them succeed still

[nimble pebble]

Beep Bop

[copper knot]

[tall hinge]

[vagrant umbra]

I’d y’all played and liked Undertale/Deltarune, I highly suggest giving Everhood a try. It has a very good and collaborative soundtrack too.

[sacred stratus]

2.2M$?! holy shit that's a lot

[tall hinge]

yup

[nimble pebble]

People REALLY like the bee boop ddr game

[sacred stratus]

I underestimetd the fnadom of this game it seems like

[nimble pebble]

I kind of like it too, it's got its own thing going on

[vagrant umbra]

Well, there was the final goal at the top…

[sacred stratus]

I like games that go for their own thing instead of following the trends

[modest night]

what the fuck

[copper knot]

lmao

[sacred stratus]

holy shit...

[rapid topaz]

Everhood is very good yeah. There is a good amount of weird design but overall I think this game is a banger

[sacred stratus]

that's enough money to set one for life

[copper knot]

ya know i backed fnf and funny

week 69 when

[vagrant umbra]

Imagine if amogus asked for money… 😳

[sacred stratus]

I wish I could back Crowsworn but tuition fees and stuff...

[vagrant umbra]

I’m in the same boat, just spread the word and buy the game full price if you want it.

[pallid flare]

that's a lot of money

[copper knot]

mone

[sacred stratus]

oh be sure that I do spread the word

[rapid topaz]

It was like at 1 Million after 3 days from the beginning of the kickstarter lol

pretty sure of that

[tall hinge]

thats alright, thankfully they have already surpassed their goal by far so any more is helpful but not required for the game

[sacred stratus]

imagine if like HK they gave the backers the ability to design characters for the game

[modest night]

there would be like 10 variants of among us bosses and characters probably

[tall hinge]

they do

[heavy bluff]

[vagrant umbra]

Does anyone if the discord has a hollow Knight counterpart to the flushed emote? I’m getting tired of using this bad boi 😳

[rapid topaz]

they have a goal where they'll make and sell physical ps1 copies of fnf, I don't know why but that's original

[modest night]

if it was just anybody

[copper knot]

[modest night]

[manic zenith]

[sacred stratus]

just to be sure that we're on the same boat... I was talking about Crowsworn

[pallid flare]

get snailed, lol

[modest night]

[vagrant umbra]

Thanks champ

[manic zenith]

no snail, only continuing the flush posting

[tall hinge]

yep! for the higher backers they can design mini bosses or even full bosses. and some lower tiers let you design NPCs

[copper knot]

i wish i have more money

i mean i eat mcdonalds today so im happy

[sacred stratus]

damnnnnnnnnn I love games that do that a lot of times the community has some of the best ideas

[modest night]

baffled by the fact they made putting your name in the credits so expensive, even if they changed it afterwards

instead of just letting you skip credits

[sacred stratus]

I'm on a fast so can you order me some?

[tall hinge]

i wish i could show you but im stuck on this screen and cant get into kickstarter. my cookies are on and refreshing/ reopening doesnt fix it

[copper knot]

many games dont like to let you skip credits because people need their name to be out there

[vagrant umbra]

Maybe they have something planned for the credits, like with Undertale?

[pallid flare]

sorry but you're a bot now

[vagrant umbra]

I would never skip Undertale’s credits.

[modest night]

disable adblockers

[copper knot]

also when i finished little nightmares the damn credits for that game is so long and i cant even skip it so i ended up like- idk going away and coming back when the credits are over

[tall hinge]

maybe i am a bot

[tall hinge]

:O it worked thx

[modest night]

ggs

[copper knot]

honestly i really fucking love when games are creative when it comes to credits

[sacred stratus]

I imagine that in a few years there would be an entirely new genre of games that are inspired by HK called hollow-likes or something

[copper knot]

especially games where the credits have their own songs

[modest night]

i don't see what groundbreaking things hk added to the metroidvania genre that justify making it its own genre

[nimble radish]

what about hollow knight is genre building, the soul system is unique but most mechanics exist already

[copper knot]

im only saying this because omori's credit song is stuck in my head

[modest night]

it just is a good metroidvania

[tall hinge]

actual factual facts

[vagrant umbra]

Back in high school, I had a hard time trying to figure out why everyone was able to use TurnItIn for essays except me. Turns out I was the only one using adblockers.

[sacred stratus]

me too but many games are coming out that claim to be inspired by HK so ppl's perspective probably changed

[copper knot]

i think the most groundbreaking part about hollow knight is how much you can achieve with only 3 people, a few years, and around 70k

[sand pasture]

[copper knot]

PYRO WHY DID YOU REACT TO MY MESSAGE LIKE THAT YOU'RE MEAN

[modest night]

i guess that i can see people being inspired by the art style maybe?

but gameplay wise it's nothing new

[tall hinge]

well i dont think thats special to hollow knight, there have been a bunch of best selling indie games that have been developed by only one person

[rapid topaz]

wait, did they really made a Hollow Knight copy game set in a castle where you fight dracula and stuff 😶

[copper knot]

i mean like the amount of content hk has

[sacred stratus]

maybe. my friend saw the Crowsworn trailer the other day and told me the art-style reminded him of HK a lot

[copper knot]

ive never heard of a game made by 3 people that has more content than hk

[sacred stratus]

tetris?

[copper knot]

.-.

[vagrant umbra]

It’s not it’s own genre, but it’s a tale as old as time. A genre lacks any good titles for the newest generation, and before it can be forgotten, this game appears and collects an audience that wasn’t around for the games that inspired it. Thus the call to think of it as more original or it’s own genre.

[tall hinge]

stardew valley?

[copper knot]

ive... actually never played stardew valley

[tall hinge]

one person

[pallid flare]

terraria was made from a couple of people and is absolutely huge

[tall hinge]

omori is also a good example it has a bunch of content

[modest night]

yeah i get that but technically it's still not revolutionary

[pallid flare]

Stardew also has a lot of content for the fact that just one worked on it

[dense hemlock]

terraria is a game that i'd consider a staple in recent games, just feels super timeless and full of content

[modest night]

it's a very good game tho so

[olive bobcat]

Terraria devs back in like 2015 or something: "That's all folks"
Terraria devs in 2020:

[sacred stratus]

if 3 ppl with 70K created HK I can't imagine what more than a few with years of experience will make with 500K

[modest night]

oh btw have you guys played ender lilies, man that game screams wasted potential sometimes

[tall hinge]

wait you've all said terraria but i kept thinking you said tetris LMAO i was so confused

[nimble pebble]

It is all folks this time though

[manic zenith]

I had a similar feeling that ender lilies lacking something

[nimble radish]

for now

[sacred stratus]

I watched a let's play and the game does look incredible but unfortunately ppl are gonna look at this game as something to play while waiting for SS

[olive bobcat]

Gleamlight

[nimble pebble]

Nah they're done, 1.4 was the final update

[vagrant umbra]

Every single content creator after Sir Patrick Eon made Patreon.

[sacred stratus]

didn't it turn out to be a fluke?

[pallid flare]

isn't that child of light or something

[rapid topaz]

to be completely honest, this does not attract me. I see the huge potential in this game but I don't know if I would enjoy playing it

[copper knot]

more than 3 ppl tho

[manic zenith]

lmao
I still havent finished this one
how was it called? Child of light?

[tall hinge]

ah kk didnt know

[pallid flare]

I have had that game in my library for absolute ages

[olive bobcat]

Yeah

[vagrant umbra]

I mean, I wasn’t interested by the trailer since it looked more slow paced and less expressive for combat.

[sacred stratus]

Gleam light had interesting art-style and concepts but it wasn't ready for release

[manic zenith]

I get this game for gree in...uplay? Or gog? I fucking dont remember

[copper knot]

basil ball
what he gon do
he gon ||leave someone hanging||

[nimble pebble]

People need to remember that HK is actually a lot more fast paced of a Metroidvania than others and that most others are pretty slow

[sacred stratus]

I feel you since I too am attracted to more fast paced combat

[tall hinge]

what da basil doin

[rapid topaz]

give an example, I'm not sure to understand what you mean lol

[sacred stratus]

the only game that I would consider as fast paced is Ori2 but the combat got really wack towards the end unlike HK

[vagrant umbra]

I mean the slow exploration of Hollow Knight is fantastic, but I need tension to balance it. The bosses offer all that and more.

[tall hinge]

fast-paced-combatsexual

[copper knot]

ori's combat is a bit weird sometimes

[sacred stratus]

exactly

[copper knot]

what the fuck.

[pallid flare]

omori is weird in general

[modest night]

ori 1 was a disappointment for me so i didn't touch ori 2

[copper knot]

can we all cancel pyro? he said he hates basil

[sacred stratus]

is it weirder than my dreams?

if no than it's not weird in my book

[copper knot]

#PyroIsOverParty

[tall hinge]

i didnt play ori 1 but played ori 2 and the experience was positive i would say

[vagrant umbra]

I hear Ori 2 takes a lot of inspiration from Hollow Knight’s combat.

[olive bobcat]

Basil is the best character wtf Pyro, I thought we were chill

[pallid flare]

basil sucks, don't @ me

[vagrant umbra]

No

[olive bobcat]

[pallid flare]

Kel is almost as bad as he is, too

[tall hinge]

@pallid flare

[pallid flare]

leaked dms

[sacred stratus]

I definitely recommend Ori2 it's much better than Ori1 and even tho it's not as good as HK I can't really make it justice by comparing it to the best metroidvenia of all time (IMO)

[rapid topaz]

honestly they are very different in a bunch of aspects, I won't say the 2nd is better but they aren't so much similar to each other

[nimble pebble]

@pallid flare I'm @ you out of spite rather than anything to do with Basil

[rapid topaz]

personnally I bought the 2nd and loved it but that's up to you ig

[nimble pebble]

This just sounds like a bunch of Ori fans trying to sell Ori to someone who doesn't care

[pallid flare]

why is everyone pinging me all of a sudden

[copper knot]

BECAUSE YOU HATE BASIL :(

[modest night]

i'll see i don't have that much money to spend rn anywya

[sacred stratus]

it's ok

[tall hinge]

THEY FOUND US OUT GUYS, RUN!

[modest night]

30 euros

[sacred stratus]

no pressure plus it's not a must play game

[modest night]

oh yeah definitely not at the top of my list of things to play

[sacred stratus]

no-one can hide from my judgement

[rapid topaz]

I bought it at 40 euros

[modest night]

i need to finish s&s first anyway

[vagrant umbra]

I haven’t played Ori 1 or 2 lol. I’m stuck playing League of Legends.

[tall hinge]

i bought it at $10/month

[nimble pebble]

I wonder if Ori2 is actually like a metroidvania because the looks of Ori1 tell me they just stretched a Metroidvania sekeleton a top of it and called it one

[pallid flare]

10$ a month?

[tall hinge]

xbox game pass for pc

[nimble pebble]

You poor soul

[sacred stratus]

are you miserable and weigh 100 kilograms?

[marsh ibex]

[modest night]

you mean play with you, joker?

[sacred stratus]

all the mods finally gave up and made it #off-topic 2.0

[vagrant umbra]

Well, I have a pretty high tolerance for solo q shenanigans. I know how to have fun and do my best during a losing game. If you can’t enjoy a lost game, then don’t play.

[nimble pebble]

I used to weigh that much but then I lost a few pounds but then again I'm above 6ft so it's more normal to be around that weight than others,

[tall hinge]

[manic zenith]

Lul same
fucking league

[nimble pebble]

League sucks ass

[modest night]

personally i fully gave up on being excited for ss and off topic convos are nice

[nimble radish]

your honour, league of legends

[rapid topaz]

This certainly looks like more of a metroidvania and less of a 2D plateformer, even tho they kept some plateforming sections from the first game. In my opinion

[sacred stratus]

it's ok I don't body shame anyone plus I'm a short stick myself

Pictures and memes can be posted here on the exception that they are related to the conversation at hand and are not to be spammed so watch your toes on what you post

[modest night]

[modest night]

[silver oak]

[sacred stratus]

health bar pops up
WINDOW, champion of LoL

[pallid flare]

they said that it wasn't focused on silksong

[sacred stratus]

*boss music intensifies *

[nimble pebble]

Well supposedly APWOT is more about TC and HK in general than SS but who knows, maybe we'll get something

[tall hinge]

maybe it didnt happen and im wrong

[modest night]

[manic zenith]

mostly about TC themself when they were creating HK, like how they lived with small budget

[pallid flare]

maybe we'll get something

[hollow terrace]

TC was POOR in terms of food while making Hk

[marsh ibex]

[sacred stratus]

frn?

[pallid flare]

who the fuck makes these

[normal hinge]

yes

[tall hinge]

where are these emotes coming from

[sacred stratus]

the shadow realm

[normal hinge]

your mom

[nimble pebble]

Sonia's secret cupboard of emotes

[normal hinge]

pitta shush

[modest night]

Sonia's sr servers you mean

[copper knot]

your mom

[rapid topaz]

Apparently there was an APWOT magazine very recently, featuring Katamari Damacy, EarthBound and Hollow Knight. Pretty sure nothing about SS has been talked about

[nimble pebble]

[pallid flare]

go to #hk-discussion for that

[modest night]

hk speedrunners have funny emotes

[tall hinge]

[nimble pebble]

The HK APWOT didn't release yet or just recently released to my knowledge

[pallid flare]

this fella can look into the future

[rapid topaz]

oh okay so that's probably the pre-order I guess

[normal hinge]

a seer

[nimble pebble]

Yeah the site says Late July 2021

We're still in mid July

[pallid flare]

it's gonna be august in about 10 days

give or take a few days

[nimble pebble]

13 days

Unless you count today then it's 14

[tall hinge]

[nimble pebble]

That's 2 weeks

Meaning we are smack dab in the middle of the month

[sacred stratus]

3 year anniversary release?

[nimble pebble]

[pallid flare]

no

[rapid topaz]

I'm surprised of the amount of fan art and covers for Silksong ngl

especially on Twitter and youtube

[nimble pebble]

The ancient robot theme and Coral warlord theme are boppin

[brazen osprey]

People are impatient of course they make stuff like that
Apologies for the ping

[pallid flare]

apology rejected

[nimble pebble]

[rapid topaz]

ping is fine I totally don't mind lol

[nimble pebble]

Based music

I only have a problem with pings if I get like 5 in a second, by the same person

Yeah

[rapid topaz]

because the responding thing is set on "@ activated" by default so I guess sometimes it's annoying when you get like 10 responses in a channel, as long as they didn't unchecked this

but yeah for me I don't care

[modest night]

I've seen servers having rules about not pinging people and i find them so over the top

like when it's not people really randomly pinging others i don't see the issue just use dnd

[pallid flare]

tbh

it may sounds like the most ego thing ever but I like getting pinged

[nimble pebble]

Response pings are great for debating and pointing out specifically who you are talking about

[modest night]

yeah

[rapid topaz]

that's understandable, I like it too. As long as it's pertinent

[modest night]

people can literally mute servers too if it disturbs them that much

[nimble pebble]

Exactly

[languid linden]

I have no idea, but I still get annoyed by them

Mostly reply pings

[pallid flare]

what's wrong with them?

:)

[languid linden]

I have no idea tbh

They make me irrationally irritated

[nimble pebble]

#pingdiscussion

[languid linden]

Yeah I think that's it

[rapid topaz]

You cannot really spam ping someone by accident, it's very very likely something you want to do. It's annoying. But I don't get why a single accidental ping might be against the rules

[nimble pebble]

That's what it's like for me but only when it's multiple on screen at once

[languid linden]

agony

[nimble pebble]

Like if I see 1 or maybe 2 It's fine but when I see 3-5+ it's annoying to look at

[barren roost]

where do you think you are right now?

[nimble pebble]

I've had a friend who doesn't like reply pinging in dms

[pallid flare]

tf

[nimble pebble]

However while I don't use it often it's simply just a good tool to point out what message you're specifically talking about

[rapid topaz]

yeah exactly

[nimble pebble]

Especially if you or them are going about several points at once

[tall hinge]

there should just be an option to auto turn them off

and then only reply ping when its actually necessary

[nimble pebble]

I'd agree tbh

[tall hinge]

cause i constantly forget to turn the ping off

[rapid topaz]

there is a plugin to uncheck those by default but I can't remember which one

something from github

[analog forge]

shift clicking the reply button does a nonping

[rapid topaz]

ok so apparently it's : setting up BetterDiscord, then install NoReplyMentions plugin
but this should have been an official option tbh

[analog forge]

betterdiscord is against tos or something, so its not a great option

[rapid topaz]

I didn't know then, sorry

[pallid flare]

you'll know why I suddenly disappeared one day

[modest night]

you'll never get banned unless someone reports it tbh

stupid of discord to ban it anyway

[pallid flare]

I don't think that anyone is gonna go report me

it adds so many QoL features
