waiting for silksong
🧘

[analog quarry]

Are we all getting excited for possible Silksong tomorrow knowing full well we'll be disappointed when it doesnt show?

[olive bobcat]

My body is a temple
old and crumbling

[mortal grove]

ok boomer

[hushed wasp]

What is happening tommorow???

[analog quarry]

Indie Direct

[hushed wasp]

TELL ME NOW OR ILL PULL A SHOTGUN

[hushed wasp]

[jade canopy]

Look up you’ll find it

The number of time it has been mention is ridiculous

[tropic nova]

what

[naive flax]

What if hornet isn’t in Silksong?

[barren roost]

it's more than likely

hello, Aluo

[olive bobcat]

This routine of people coming in, sending the indie world, getting annoyed, and so on and so forth has happened so often now

[tall hinge]

you snail me but they asked for a link so..

[warm bone]

The cycle repeats

[olive bobcat]

Hello Delta

[naive flax]

At least Leth hasn’t said that Silksong won’t be there yet

[warm bone]

Hope he does soon

[jade canopy]

Copium at it’s peak

[barren roost]

Yes, he'd better

[naive flax]

Got any more??

[burnt topaz]

who is the nightmare king of #sk-discussion

[pallid flare]

its me

[naive flax]

Please…

[burnt topaz]

dear god

[tall hinge]

[hushed wasp]

Milksong

[naive flax]

What if Gorb is in Silk song?

[stoic jacinth]

Alien headcanon confirmed

[mortal grove]

Ritual
Defeat #sk-discussion

[hushed wasp]

Me, my presence makes everyone die

[olive bobcat]

I get to be king because I was here the longest

[hushed wasp]

What if i get to be absolute king

[stoic jacinth]

I mean it’s possible that characters appear in SS from HK, the troupe actually makes a lot of sense if it will be in there

[barren roost]

the grimm pfps?

[hushed wasp]

i have a grimm pfp

[stoic jacinth]

But gorb isn’t on the top of my “hopeful appearances” list

[reef scarab]

Pharloom isn’t dead

[burnt topaz]

theyre the troupe

[olive bobcat]

Speaking of Grimm

[naive flax]

💢

[stoic jacinth]

It’s definitely not at its peak.

[olive bobcat]

Fake (because it'll never happen)

[reef scarab]

I heard someone say that hallownest is like a frail, sick animal whilst pharloom might be more like a cornered one

[hollow sedge]

i am ready to be disappointed again tommorow

[hidden steeple]

same

[hushed wasp]

YO LETS FUCKING GO?

[barren roost]

It'll never happen, thank god, more like

[jade canopy]

Not sure, Tc said that they didn’t want any choice to become canon so like if ss is a sequel and you see/don’t see brumm then it will confirm that you banish/didn’t banish

[stoic jacinth]

Fighting the future Grimm that maybe even the knight raised would be cool along with a new moveset to fit hornet

[olive bobcat]

Pharloom isn't dead

[harsh rover]

yet

[barren roost]

well we don't know that but it would make more sense

[stoic jacinth]

I think that having grimm only appear in the postgame might be odd though

[pallid flare]

he isn't postgame tho

[stoic jacinth]

if pharloom dies in the events of the game that is

[pallid flare]

or did i do a stupid

[hushed wasp]

No but seriously.
Who thinks silksong news tommorow?

I dont, because my expectations are low

[stoic jacinth]

he isn’t in HK, but I was talking about SS possibly having the troupe return

[hidden steeple]

no news tomorrow

[pallid flare]

yeah i did a stupid

[stoic jacinth]

yeah like I said nintendo has been giving silksong the big boy treatment with the ~30 minute treehouse segment, I don’t think it’s just an indie game to them now and will be marketed like a AA-AAA game

[hidden steeple]

either that or of it is shown it will be huge

[mortal cedar]

anyone expecting news tomorrow is kinda dumb, i think hope is okay but still misplaced

[stoic jacinth]

Yeah if they do show it off tomorrow it’ll be the main focus of wherever it’s placed

[mortal grove]

how many souls did it cost to make such convincing fakes

[stoic jacinth]

But again that’s 99% not going to happen

[distant mason]

i dont see why TC would reveal at an indie world, honestly it wouldn't gain as much traction as revealing it at a bigger event

[tight linden]

Boys, I can’t wait for SS to be in the Indie World

[olive bobcat]

Oh Phrax, funny as ever

[tight linden]

Like what bigger events though? I genuinely don’t think they’d hold off releasing their game until an event comes around.

[hushed wasp]

Its still an indie game however

they may be swimming in money but still a small team

[distant mason]

if they wanted to reveal theyd have done so at E3, because e3 is significantly bigger so more people wouldve seen it, i dont see why theyd reveal at a smaller one where less people would see

[summer crystal]

silksong won't be at the indie direct, but that didn't stop me from putting it on my awful rushed tacky bingo card

[tight linden]

Well, then let’s wait until E3 next year by this logic

[distant mason]

yooo i forgot about potential omori port

[pallid flare]

omori port tho

[stoic jacinth]

I think the only possible reason we get SS news tomorrow is if TC is very aware of the silence they’ve been giving and breaks it with a conveniently timed indie direct presentation to hype up an upcoming release date that had nothing planned other than this before it

[hushed wasp]

send me the template

[distant mason]

its not exactly far fetched, but there are for sure other events that i just forgot to mention/didnt come to mind right now

[summer crystal]

there are plans to bring omori to switch. i don't think it's happening yet, i just out it there to fill space

[olive bobcat]

Y'all don't have the Omori port yet? (do I have to clarify fake?)

[pallid flare]

yes

[hushed wasp]

Thats cursed

[tall hinge]

silksong

[barren roost]

yes
and yes

[summer crystal]

website called myfreebingocards dot com

[hushed wasp]

thanks

[olive bobcat]

Buncha losers

[summer crystal]

the account icon

[tight linden]

Aluo you know what the one person said about news right?

[olive bobcat]

Don't think so

[tall hinge]

no wifi 😤

[tight linden]

Ah, nvm then.

[summer crystal]

what?

[barren roost]

column 2, row 4
get rid of it

[tight linden]

I shall not specify. Bye bye.

[olive bobcat]

That's Surrealist's switch, anything wrong with it should be directed at her

[reef scarab]

like maybe a 20% chance

[summer crystal]

uh, okay?

[tall hinge]

im at like a 5%

[summer crystal]

i am fully expecting silksong not to be there, but i'llbe happy if it is

[pallid flare]

less than 1%

[rich fractal]

Always gets me how people expect SS at Indie Worlds, that event is mostly for unknown/small stuff. SS is too big for that event, no reason for TC to reveal there lol.

[reef scarab]

Y’all are probably right but you desperately hope you’re wrong

[tall hinge]

nah

[distant mason]

ss would most likely happen at a normal nintendo direct or e3

(but e3 didnt happen, evidently)

[summer crystal]

right. the ori games and cuphead are way too small and unknown so they had to be shown at an indie direct to get more attention

big announcements do happen at indie worlds, sometimes

[distant mason]

i think the difference w/ those is that they may have been unknown at the time? im not sure

[pallid flare]

ori is quite small

[summer crystal]

ori is not small

[distant mason]

i dont see much talk about ori honestly

[olive bobcat]

I'd say Ori is small compared to the Hollow Knight franchise

[tall hinge]

if theyve finished the game and want to announce it i dont think tc will wait for a convenient big event. they announce it on their own and an indie world is good enough. i dont think itll happen this indie world but ruling out all indie worlds because "SS is too big for that" is wrong imo

[distant mason]

i dont wanna scroll up to the message but

[summer crystal]

hollow knight still hasn't outsold the first ori, and will of the wisps was at 2 million copies sold like 3 months after release

[distant mason]

i have it screenshotted, and i heavily agree with what this person says about nintendo

i think nintendo would want some form of first dibs with it

its gonna be switch exclusive guys

[stoic jacinth]

for like a month

[summer crystal]

co sole exclusive at launch

[distant mason]

LMAO

[tall hinge]

actual factual facts

[distant mason]

but, yes anyway. i think nintendo want some form of first dibs with silksong, so itd make sense for it to come out at a direct

[summer crystal]

HA
team cherry has not even talked about the playstation or xbox when it comes to silksong. gonna be longer than a month buddy

[jade canopy]

Wait how many copy did the first ori sell ?

[stoic jacinth]

The fact that it’s still releasing on many major computer platforms and Linux really hurts the whole “Nintendo exclusive” thing

[mortal grove]

two months

[olive bobcat]

three. take it or leave it.

[distant mason]

it certainly wont be nintendo exclusive, but i think nintendo want to capitalise on silksong

tc wont allow it to be switch only, theyve already said it wont be

[stoic jacinth]

Yes exactly

[mortal grove]

mmm im feeling 3 and a half

[burnt topaz]

4

[summer crystal]

eh not really. a lot of people don't have a pc. and some people just prefer getting some games on switch, especially indie games.

[copper knot]

i tried to play a horror game

keyword: tried

[tall hinge]

hmmm i cant find it online but the developers have said it outsold HK and hk has 2.8M copies sold

[mortal grove]

What game

[stoic jacinth]

but at the same time lots of people do. This is pretty far from a switch exclusive.

[mortal grove]

i have seen this image 10 times

[jade canopy]

That’s really old number tho

[copper knot]

outlast

too scary

[hushed wasp]

I will pray

[hollow sedge]

not even gonna wake up for the direct i already know rip

[royal storm]

It will come out its been 4 years

[jade canopy]

A few day ago graig estimated hk to have sold around 10M copies total

[hushed wasp]

I mean if you wake up and silksong releases you will know

[summer crystal]

i said it will be a switch console exclusive at launch. and again, a lot of people who have pc's still just prefer getting some games, especially indies, on switch.

[hollow sedge]

0% chance that happens tommorow

[olive bobcat]

It's not Switch exclusive at launch

[tall hinge]

wiki says 3 million copies as of december 2020, and i dont think they gained that much in less than a year

[mortal grove]

now i sleep goodbye

[jade canopy]

Here’s the message

[summer crystal]

bruh.
switch console exclusive

[hushed wasp]

thats like a hundred million dollars

[tall hinge]

[steep basalt]

whats happening?

[olive bobcat]

Doesn't that mean the same thing

[hushed wasp]

10 million copies *10€

[stoic jacinth]

they mean no other consoles will have it

[shadow comet]

fellas, why is slow time enabled? did you alls simultaneously went ape shit over the indie world announcement?

[olive bobcat]

Oh, I see

[naive flax]

If TC made a HK dating sim would you play it.

[olive bobcat]

It's been like this for a year or two

[royal storm]

I think they did a lot of side quest in ss
Or it will be not that long

[summer crystal]

"exclusive" means solely on that one platform.

"console exclusive" means it will be on pc as well, but no other consoles

[cedar trench]

it was like this since the dawn of man

[tall hinge]

its always slow mode

[steep basalt]

definitely

[jade canopy]

The 2.8 million thing was like steam only or something, I think

[olive bobcat]

Only true SS gamers remember when #sk-discussion didn't have a slowmode

[coarse leaf]

Did somebody say....

Indie World?!

[hushed wasp]

Silksong will release on both consoles and PC

• master oogway

[tall hinge]

why do you think that tho?

[hushed wasp]

What if 'hornet' is the main silksong theme

[royal storm]

Why are you arguing over sold copies it doesn't relate to tomorrow's event lol

[sick glacier]

i mean besides the trailer, we got our first-look at Nintendo Treehouse

AND

only playable demo so far? on Nintendo Switch at PAX AUS.

i think it's totally reasonable to expect an update via a Nintendo Indie Direct

[pallid flare]

GEF don't rile them up

[hushed wasp]

Like only one piece of music they re-use and its hornet

[jade canopy]

I can’t remember where that number was from but I thought it was a pc only stuff might be wrong

[hushed wasp]

I play pc so im good eitherway

[coarse leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-laugh-laugh-evil-villain-skeletor-gif-4145131

[viral pivot]

XD

[royal storm]

Silksong in on steam page

[tall hinge]

[hushed wasp]

i dont really care about you console normies

[distant mason]

yea

[olive bobcat]

The demo was at a couple other events too

[sick glacier]

but only on nintendo switch iirc

[olive bobcat]

E3 and something in France iirc, but yeah only on Switch

[versed hull]

I don’t care if it’s major I just wanna have something new to speculate about

[cedar trench]

hi there foolish spider

[stoic jacinth]

I hope we get more than the same demo at this years PAX aus

[tidal trail]

hi guys

[stoic jacinth]

it’s possible we get jack from it though

[hushed wasp]

Nintendo piss

I only like them for like: every game they made ever

[tidal trail]

theres a new indie world coming out tomorrow

[royal storm]

I just want a release date😔

[tidal trail]

i know there wont be ss but still

[jade canopy]

Sure I guess is there the source of those number somewhere on that Wikipedia page ?

[sick glacier]

play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35X0hW67ygo at 0.75 speed

[hushed wasp]

will watch

[barren roost]

I feel riled up already, darn you, GEF!

[glossy gazelle]

No Silksindie World……laugh

[tidal trail]

im surprised 900 days have passed

it doesnt feel like 900 days have passed since the trailer

[royal storm]

A lot more actually

[cedar trench]

i spent time grinding isaac

[tidal trail]

let me check

[tidal trail]

what did you unlock? im a huge isaac fan

[pallid flare]

the disappointment will be big in this chat

[olive bobcat]

Only 8 more

[tall hinge]

last number links to their "Hollow Knight: Silksong Revealed" blogpost. this is from that:

[vivid belfry]

Mods should just make a bot that syncs up the slow mode extension with indie world presentations

[royal storm]

No i mean they began working on silksong after hollow knight

[jade canopy]

Ok sure

[cedar trench]

no fucking idea

the game bugged out now and it tells me i am dead and passed me a "death certificate"

[tidal trail]

908 days since reveal

[tall hinge]

so not actually copies but i couldnt find anything else that is close to a number

[warped ferry]

Hehe indie world tomorrow

[olive bobcat]

Sometime tomorrow

[tidal trail]

about 21 hours

[viral pivot]

ok, ty XD

[stoic jacinth]

gee I hope someone posts the “no silksong” image again soon

[cedar trench]

no news

[royal storm]

It was posted one million times

[tidal trail]

i wish they at least tell us the devs havent died or something

[olive bobcat]

Fake

[burnt topaz]

grindle what the hell

[tall hinge]

arent we all fake?

[tidal trail]

perhaps

[jade canopy]

Wait what that’s fake, come on that would be so cool

[pallid flare]

grindle will personally give out a shoutout

[royal storm]

Im beginning to think hollow knight ss is fake

[tidal trail]

i mean they arent lying
we get a panic attack whenever we even sense ss news

[cedar trench]

imagine they put an ss discussion reference in silksong and its like "man i wanna talk about tools a lot, all day! for [insert amount of days it has passed since ss was first announced] even!!!!"

[olive bobcat]

Ngl a reference to the discord would be stupid

[royal storm]

Imo i think its on November or December.

[cedar trench]

it would be awesome because

[tidal trail]

i am sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that every single one of us has a 6th sense related to ss

[cedar trench]

my 6th sense says silksong could

[normal hinge]

does it give me omniscience

[tidal trail]

like our genetic code has been changed due to the hype and sadness

[burnt topaz]

our sixth sense is just #hk-announcements

[frank mist]

Indie world tomorrow?? On my birthday??

[royal storm]

Do you all think it will be better than hk?

[burnt topaz]

ye

[olive bobcat]

Ye

[tidal trail]

my bday is on august 20th

what about you guys?

[normal hinge]

no

[stoic jacinth]

[tidal trail]

i pray
if we wait 900+ days and dont get something even close to hk in terms of quality i will be tilted

[royal storm]

Tbh i think it is, they have better budget and more fanbase, and it did take long

[summer crystal]

that will come down to opinions. the knight and hornet have different movesets and items

[stoic jacinth]

I think it has a very real chance to be better

[tidal trail]

same

[summer crystal]

team cherry is obviously going to knock it out of the park with silksong

[grim forge]

Indie direct incoming. I wonder what isn't gonna be there

[tidal trail]

my will to live?

[fluid jetty]

• prepares clown wig, nose and grim for tomorrow *

[heady fulcrum]

All I have to say, before returning to lurking is this: https://youtu.be/0bwdQOzauv4

[royal storm]

I feel they gonna surprise us, silksong should be released long time ago,
They may have something in their sleves

[grim forge]

[tidal trail]

maybe silksong is already out and we just dont know it

[stoic jacinth]

we already hit triple digits

[sacred stratus]

when is the next event?

[frank mist]

If they announce silksong on my birthday i will explode

[tidal trail]

i wont tell you

[royal storm]

21 h

[frank mist]

But thats not happening 😃

[tight raptor]

How much clown tomorrow?

[sacred stratus]

ask Graig to speak with TC and maybe they will

[analog forge]

my birthday is 2/20, so theres a good chance it gets announced around my birthday

[fluid jetty]

100/10

[analog forge]

so suck it

[tidal trail]

i think my dad has a clown wig in his closet i will wear while watching it

[summer crystal]

nah silksong taking around the same as hollow knight seems likely. even bigger world with more in depth characters and story telling with 2 currencies and a quest system. plus they keep adding new things.

[sacred stratus]

you're not a clown you're the entire circus

[analog forge]

why tf does your dad have a clown wig

[frank mist]

Askin the real questions

[sacred stratus]

my dad has one too it's bcs he loves costumes

[olive bobcat]

Time to whip out the ol' quest names list

[tidal trail]

spooky month costume
i was 3 at the time to i did cry a lot

[frank mist]

I hope they at least announce spelunky 2 for switch tomorrow

[tidal trail]

it was horrifying

[royal storm]

But silksong have the same world mechanic so maybe throw 1/4 of the time.

[olive bobcat]

Various made up quest names (excluding the canon 5) I think sound neat

[sacred stratus]

I hated clowns when I was young but I really appreciate them now (I still hate the weird make-up tho)

[summer crystal]

world mechanic? not sure what that means

[tidal trail]

hold on imma see if i can find it be back in a flash

[royal storm]

I mean it has the same world code from hk

[sacred stratus]

don't do that, don't give me hope

[royal storm]

Just the design is different

[olive bobcat]

Just for fun I put some references in the quest names

[tidal trail]

i found it

[fluid jetty]

But they have to make intarractive objects for almost every location.

[copper knot]

i dont like "great bone spider"

[frank mist]

I believe the that there is an indie world on my birthday for a reason so i will have way too much hope for tomorrow 😤

[tidal trail]

i dont have makeup but asbestos is good enough

[wooden quest]

Zehahahahaha don the clown makeup folks!

[olive bobcat]

Just counted, 4 of the quest names are references

[sacred stratus]

me looking for indie world instead of studying...

[olive bobcat]

Missing Heroes
Chilling Colossus
Vehement Travellers
Canary Rations

[wooden quest]

Are we sure grand hunts are gonna be bossfights

[wind kindle]

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

[royal storm]

Its 20m its not that long

[cedar trench]

what were the canon 5 again?

[sacred stratus]

probably mini bosses

[tidal trail]

i guess they would be

[olive bobcat]

Haunted Gallery, Plumed Rhino, Madness of the Pilgrims, Mossberry Brew, and Glimmering Pearls

[wooden quest]

I dont think silksong is going to be in it, either Leth’ll show up and deconfirm it beforehand (because its proven to be necessary now) or we’ll get silkspammers flooding the chat again

[sacred stratus]

there are 2 options:

1. there aren't many grand hunts and each fight is like a bossfight
2. there are a lot of them and each one is a mini boss

[royal storm]

If its not tomorrow then we have two options,
Original Nintendo direct.
Or Games awards.
Or someother event i dont know.

[tidal trail]

if leth doesnt say anything i will have to get another inhaler

[olive bobcat]

Spammers join regardless

[cedar trench]

haunted gallery sounds really really promising for a quest

[wooden quest]

I think grand hunt = miniboss and hunt = kill x amount of normal enemies makes sense!

[summer crystal]

well they haven't deconfirmed it for indie directs before, only a regular direct

[sacred stratus]

spammers when indie world:

[cedar trench]

i like the sound of it

somewhat reminds me of city of tears

[wooden quest]

They only started deconfirming it at the most recent one though

[tidal trail]

i think ss is way too big for an indie direct

[olive bobcat]

I'm gonna go get a sandwich, bye chat

[wooden quest]

So they may well do it again

[tidal trail]

they have to put it in a big boy direct

[summer crystal]

last indie direct was april and there was no deconfirmation

[royal storm]

I don't think that matters, its still an indie

[sacred stratus]

I hope those won't get tedious bcs this seems like the optimal way to earn rewards and therefore I'm gonna spend a lot of time doing those

[wooden quest]

The most recent direct i meant

[summer crystal]

they don't have to, but you should

[haughty ingot]

ok futureman

[wooden quest]

As in, if it is something they plan to do from now on, we don’t have any frame of reference bc we only have one example

[sour venture]

If they always deconfirmed when it wouldn't be there then if it was there it wouldn't be a surprise

[summer crystal]

holy shit araaura, admin from the hit server mossbag and friends?

[tidal trail]

who knows maybe its a dlc for that bayblade game everyone hated

[sacred stratus]

I think Hornet got ligma and that's why she didn't show up last indie world

[summer crystal]

who the hell is steve jobs

[haughty ingot]

ligma balls

[sacred stratus]

ligma balls

[tall hinge]

no one ever spells it right

[summer crystal]

i know

[tall hinge]

[stone oxide]

its actually spelled arararararararararararaurauruararauruara

[tidal trail]

@haughty ingot can you speedrun running around my pile of silksong body pillows?

[sacred stratus]

imagine being able to spell things right

[tidal trail]

i assure you it will be very hard i have so many of them

[royal storm]

This about silksong not a spelling bee

[sacred stratus]

can you speedrun going insane over SS?

[tall hinge]

way ahead of you buddy

[sacred stratus]

most AAA devs are doing low% speedrun of developing the game
but TC are going for the 100% category

[wooden quest]

If silksong is there tomorrow i’ll film myself eating a sock

[tidal trail]

if that was a category on speedrun.com i would be the fireborn

[stoic jacinth]

112*

[wooden quest]

(Being completely serious)

[royal storm]

I'd look forward into that

[wooden quest]

I’ll upload it here too

[tidal trail]

i will film myself eating a raw onion

[sacred stratus]

yummy

[royal storm]

That's not even bad what

[sacred stratus]

seriously I love onions

[wooden quest]

Yeah i’d do a raw onion rn

[reef scarab]

Hornet had coronavirus so she couldn’t be at the last indie world

[barren roost]

I'm done making bets

[tidal trail]

not a bite eating it whole

[finite ingot]

I had a dream where TC told me and a bunch of campers in lower Ohio the release date of Silksong
They said it was October 86th
October 86th would equal December 25th. Christmas day.

[royal storm]

Eating dirt would be better

[wooden quest]

Sock isnt food so its gonna be harder

[tidal trail]

ok how about i eat cat food?

[barren roost]

somebody already did both of those

[sacred stratus]

I missed the part where you're suffering bcs onions are tasty

[nimble steppe]

Ohio you say

[wooden quest]

Brilliant

[tall hinge]

right it down boys

[tidal trail]

i say a teacup worth of cat food

[royal storm]

No enough

[finite ingot]

My dream may have been prophetic

[tall hinge]

jesus day it is

[royal storm]

STILL NOT ENOUGH

[sacred stratus]

if SS will be present tomorrow I'm gonna shit yourself

[royal storm]

a cockroach will be good

[finite ingot]

Christmas sounds like it actually would be the release date

[wooden quest]

Has anyone been here long enough to remember Grover’s prophecy

[frank mist]

As much as i want something to happen tomorrow i dont think silksong would go in the indie world

[tidal trail]

how about i lick my tetris 99 cartridge

[wooden quest]

Thems were the days

[sacred stratus]

November 19th?

yeah I gave him this idea

[frank mist]

I remember grovers prophecy

[finite ingot]

November 19th is my birthday.

[summer crystal]

if silksong is at the indie world tomorrow i will give away 3 north american nintendo switch codes for it on launch day, to members in mossbag's discord server, and only to those who literally can't afford the game

[finite ingot]

SILKSOMG BIRTHDAY PRESENT!?

[summer crystal]

if silksong is not at the indie world tomorrow i will still do that

[wooden quest]

HOLY SHIT I JUST REALISED THE RIDDLES WERE OVER A YEAR AGO, i thought that november sounded too recent until i realised

[royal storm]

We accept

[sacred stratus]

yeah time flies when you're suffering

[wooden quest]

My sense of time is gone

[tidal trail]

i will give away a copy of ss but idk who cant afford one

i guess ill give it at random

[royal storm]

I bet they will make it inexpensive

[wooden quest]

I’ll probably donate one too :)

[stone oxide]

november 19th 2021

[barren roost]

hey mads

[stone oxide]

save the date u guys grover cant be wrong twice

[sacred stratus]

remember when everyone thought SS is gonna launch in 2020?

yeah now 2023 is an option

[stone oxide]

wdym it did
we're waiting for the gilded temple expansion now

[royal storm]

I thought it will on the end of 2019

[hardy crow]

Any chance for ss next indie direct ?

[tidal trail]

i remember someone calling me an idiot for saying that ss will come out by late 2021

[summer crystal]

wrong reply moment

[placid obsidian]

🤡

[wooden quest]

Could we arrange a fandom thing where people buy and donate additional copies if they can afford it, would drum up some great press and i feel like the hk fandom is nice enough to do smth like that

[tidal trail]

they said thats way too late and i know nothing about game development

guess whos laughing now

[sacred stratus]

Nintendo: SS is coming soon
everyone: so that was a fucking lie

[summer crystal]

you know what i'm all for that. i'm doing 3 copies anyway. let's do it

[pallid flare]

no

[tidal trail]

i wonder what they meant by coming soon

[wooden quest]

Not sure who i would have to mention the idea around to get it to pick up popularity

[tidal trail]

in what universe does this mean coming soon

[sacred stratus]

when SS is out I'm gonna buy a copy on steam for myself and probably another one for the switch for my lil brother

[brave stone]

it was Nintendo's words for TBA

[royal storm]

They cancelled ss its replaced by zoteboat

[brave stone]

according to leth

[royal storm]

Or hollowknight cart

[tidal trail]

hollow knight nuts and bolts

[reef scarab]

Hollow knight fandom literally funding a whole ass game to a million dollars and now buying copies of Silksong for other people

[summer crystal]

the bad ending

[sacred stratus]

hollow knight 2 electric boogaloo

[placid obsidian]

Spelunky 1 and 2 release date are my most realistic hopes for tomorrow

[wooden quest]

If the release date somehow is announced tomorrow then someone can make a graphic for a Silksong Donation Drive?

[sacred stratus]

the average AAA fan vs the average indie enjoyer

[summer crystal]

my most realistic expectation is axiom verge 2 shadow drop or release date

[tall hinge]

hollowcart

[wooden quest]

It would only make sense to start the movement after release is announced imo

[royal storm]

Can someone donate me a 3070 gpu if its tomorrow?

[tidal trail]

hollow knight and the 7 witches

[sacred stratus]

I can donate you a 370

[coarse leaf]

Has TC said something about not expecting anything in this new direct yet? They were nice enough to warn us before E3 after all.

[pallid flare]

that's like 3000€

[wooden quest]

Not yet

[wind kindle]

I just want silksong already

[royal storm]

Aren't we all

[wind kindle]

Its a pain to wait so long

[sacred stratus]

lol you can't even get those here

[tidal trail]

i got one because i am a responsible member of society and cuz i have job

[coarse leaf]

3080s around here are already down to 1000€

[frank mist]

The only issue with the whole gift drive is how do we know to give the game to people who actually cant afford it on their own

[sacred stratus]

I don't have one bcs I don't need to spend so much money when my current gpu is doing just fine

[frank mist]

I dont wanna gift the game to someone whos wealthier than me

[tidal trail]

luckily i managed to get one at a low price as well

[shut heart]

Indieworld coming aug 11th

[wooden quest]

Thats valid, and i guess it would have to be trust based

[shut heart]

but thats about it

[summer crystal]

Shin Megami Hollow Knight Silksong 2 Innocent Sin XI S Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition Banana Blitz HD and Knuckles Vol. 1

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series

[tidal trail]

idk why i got it i play terraria and powerwash sim all day

[royal storm]

Im looking for one with 500$ for a year now

[wooden quest]

Which is why donating would obviousky be completely optional

[tidal trail]

obviousky

[frank mist]

Will there be one more direct this year

[coarse leaf]

Still waiting til its around 800. Maybe around October/November.

[tidal trail]

no

[barren roost]

anyways wake me up when the direct starts

[wooden quest]

Even if someone lies about their financial status to get a copy idm donating

[royal storm]

Actually yes a normal one for Nintendo big games

[tidal trail]

i spent 850 euro for one

[coarse leaf]

Neat.

[placid ether]

We don't talk about the Nindie Direct here, right?

[dark sorrel]

when Silksong?

[coarse leaf]

when done.

[tidal trail]

i had to work extra so my salary could cover it

[placid ether]

Today

[summer crystal]

i gave up on trying to get a 30 series card. alternatively, you can get a prebuilt pc with a 30 series card for the same price that people are selling just a 30 series card for. just get a whole pc.

[frank mist]

People dont like pre builts tho lol

[tidal trail]

i have disposable income but the 3070 or 80 i cant remember would burn through it

[royal storm]

Yes i know but its always broken when its delivered

[placid ether]

Pre-builts are still super expensive right now, why wouldn't them?

[royal storm]

The case i mean

[summer crystal]

pre-builts are cheaper than building one.

[placid ether]

Why would they be cheaper?

[reef scarab]

My stepdad owes me fifteen bucks so I’m just having him buy me Silksong when it comes out lol

[frank mist]

My birthday wishlist for tomorrow is literally just nintendo giftcards so i can get silksong as soon as it comes out

[shut heart]

pre builts usually cost the same amount as the GPU they're equipped with or very slightly more, since the big pc selling companies buy in bulk and get a massive discount.

[placid ether]

Worry not friend, you are actually getting Silksong announced tomorrow

[sacred stratus]

I suggest you buy it on PC if you can so you can install mods when they eventually come

[summer crystal]

prebuilts are sold at retail price where as most parts are snatched up by resellers.

the pc i'm getting has a 1650 in it, and it costs $150 more than a 1650 does right noe

[tidal trail]

i built my own pc but im not hardcore pc masterrace

to this day i still play with my gamecube

[sacred stratus]

I got a pre-built one and replaced some of the parts with better parts from my previous PC

[placid ether]

It might be the case for the current state of GPUs, but as far as I know Pre-builts are usually a little bit over the total for each thing

[royal storm]

My pc is from 2012 i don't know how its not bad yet

[tidal trail]

i know that but its my childhood i had it since i was a kid

[sacred stratus]

PCs stay relevant for a long time especially if you clean them often

[placid ether]

I have a 1060, still running fine for me. Should I look into upgrading in the near future?

[tidal trail]

speaking of which i need to clean my pc and replace my cooling liquid

[pallid flare]

I dream of getting a 1060 lol

[tidal trail]

are you planning on playing the newest AAA games?

[placid ether]

Not any of the current announced ones tbh

[sacred stratus]

I got a 1060 too, no even games that didn't even come out like Elden ring list the recommended gpu as 1060

[royal storm]

Im sorry everyone but we heavily change tobics

[tidal trail]

a 1060 is good enough to be honest

anyway i gotta clean my pc

[placid ether]

I also have a PS5 so I can get most AAA there

[sacred stratus]

it's decent enough to run all AAA games just fine (except for cybershit 1977)

[frank mist]

I dont have a PC

[royal storm]

Im still waiting for my 3070 to get to normal price

[sacred stratus]

bruh you managed to get one of the 5 they actually made?

[tidal trail]

have a good night everyone

[placid ether]

I actually got 2, one for a friend

That means there are other 3 people with a PS5

[sacred stratus]

I'm so sorry but...
you know the rules and so do I... SAY GOODBYE

[frank mist]

Imma contact TC somehow and tell a sad life story so they announce silksong on my birthday 😤

[placid ether]

Imagine Silksong being PS5 exclusive

[royal storm]

I want elden ring

[acoustic jetty]

better than stadia exclusive

[summer crystal]

rifht now they are definitely cheaper

[pallid flare]

what

[acoustic jetty]

...

[placid ether]

I just finished my uni thesis yesterday

[royal storm]

=€¶~™€{`

[sacred stratus]

I alreay shot you with a 9mm you want to get shot by a 50BMG?

[sacred stratus]

congrats bro

[placid ether]

I would get to play it, i wouldn't be mad

[charred zephyr]

So uh, i'm arriving late, but are news for SS in tomorrow's indie world plausible ?

[sacred stratus]

you wouldn't get mad bcs you'd be dead

[royal storm]

We don't know yet

[summer crystal]

I don't think here is the place for those sort of comments

[placid ether]

Silksong might be there or just might not

[sacred stratus]

right

[summer crystal]

99.9% won't be there

[charred zephyr]

I MEAN ITS ONLY BEEN 908 DAYS SINCE THE REVEAL

[warm bone]

And only 3 years of dev

[placid ether]

I don't want to raise expectations but now that Crowsworn campaign is over Team Cherry would feel less bad about an announcement

[royal storm]

Their still 00.1 chance

[placid ether]

I know this is like holding onto a burning nail, but it makes sense for me at least

[pallid flare]

this is like the fifth time this has been happening

[warm bone]

Maybe they’ll release the switch port of outer wilds

[frank mist]

Eh?

[summer crystal]

i really don't think it will be there. expect it not to be.

[royal storm]

Hope can defeat any despair
Ps: Danganronpa

[summer crystal]

ayo leth please come deconfirm silksong so that the discussion can move on

[stoic jacinth]

Crowsworn is releasing in December of 2023, I wouldn’t expect them to react to it like that

Or at least the Kickstarter says that

[placid ether]

I could see Team Cherry waiting on the Crowsworn Kickstarter campaign being over before dropping a Silksong bomb, it's just that

[warm bone]

I don’t see that at all

[reef scarab]

If leth deconfirms every time then we know it’s coming the one time he doesn’t deconfirm

[frank mist]

True

[royal storm]

He didn't on the previous indie

[placid ether]

Has Leth retweeted the announcement this time?

[royal storm]

No

[stoic jacinth]

he has likely less than a day to deconfirm. Don’t see him deconfirming this indie world

[placid ether]

Hmmm

[warm bone]

♻️

[placid ether]

Leth is not hyped this time

[royal storm]

I still think it will gonna be tomorrow

[summer crystal]

that's likely a placeholder date

[jade canopy]

Well it’s also night in Australia since the announcement of indie word soooo

[hollow terrace]

Leth doesn’t live in Australia

[summer crystal]

he has only deconfirmed one regular direct (feb 2021) and e3 2021

[placid ether]

Each direct without Silksong is more likely to feature it, just wait and it might happen tomorrow

[summer crystal]

he deconfirmed hk for the february direct the day of

[reef scarab]

I’d say 20% chance

[royal storm]

If it didn't im gonna be void

[stoic jacinth]

That’s true.

I could see him deconfirming but like you pointed out deconfirmings aren’t a regular occurrence

[royal storm]

We will see tomorrow

[warm bone]

[charred zephyr]

Oh shit SS is a luck game now

[placid ether]

RNGilksong

[hollow sedge]

imagine waking up to silksong news

[charred zephyr]

Cant relate

[modest night]

when exactly is the direct tomorrow

[placid ether]

6pm Madrid

5pm London

[modest night]

yo same timezone

[summer crystal]

wait why did ss-discussion suddenly die.

oh no!
anyway.

[chilly nexus]

oh hey we should celebrate at 1000!

[cedar trench]

this is so epic

[royal storm]

I need my energy to be mad and sad tomorrow

[cedar trench]

WAS THAT THE NUKE OF THE 15TH

[summer crystal]

cool suggestion:
don't expect silksong to be there and then you would be disappointed

[formal karma]

ewww there's a direct? time to not be here...

[hollow sedge]

nobody suspects it'll be there lmao

[summer crystal]

just scroll up and you'll see people filling themselves with false hope

[hollow sedge]

im not even gonna wake up for the direct since i already know lmao

[rotund aurora]

We don’t tho.

[summer crystal]

it's always good to check out the indie worlds because there are usually a couple hidden gems in there

[rotund aurora]

Mhm.

[pallid flare]

there's many that do

[summer crystal]

among all the shit they show

[rotund aurora]

I’m hoping,

[hollow sedge]

those poor souls

[chilly nexus]

pre-edit had me like

[pallid flare]

d

[chilly nexus]

stahp it

[rotund aurora]

I mean, im not new to this game of not seeing anything but is it wrong for me to still hope?

[pallid flare]

it's ok if you don't riot tomorrow

[modest night]

yeah don't

[coarse leaf]

We can hope for silk song tomorrow I mean it’s trending on Twitter lol

[modest night]

but judging from how dead the channel is im guessing you've lost hope after the 5th ish time 🥴

[nimble radish]

maggotprime

[hollow sedge]

because you'll be disappointed

even if silksong was gonna be revealed in the near future i dont think itd be through a indie direct as well

[rotund aurora]

I’d rather get my hopes up and be disappointed than think that it’s never gonna come.

[hollow sedge]

[chilly nexus]

SS is like 100% not gonna be in an indie direct. it's beyond outgrown them

[serene flicker]

Has Leth already killed our hopes for the next indie world?

[rotund aurora]

That’s just my opinion tho.

[chilly nexus]

p sure last year he even said ss was bigger than indie directs yea

[hollow sedge]

not yet

[balmy osprey]

I'm going into the Indie World with zero expectations for Silksong. I don't think it's releasing until mid 2022 earliest

[reef scarab]

Just because it probably won’t doesn’t mean I won’t hope smh

[rotund aurora]

Do you have a source?

[chilly nexus]

can't find the quote but it was leth who said it

[coarse leaf]

Ah

Let’s hope they changed their minds (we genuinely need info it’s been so long)

[short basin]

I hope silksong comes...

[chilly nexus]

you'll have some things to busy your brains regarding SS soon enough dw!

[coarse leaf]

“I’m sure of it” that’s me being sarcastic becuase they said their would be more to come 2 years Ago

[stoic jacinth]

they didn’t say how long until the “more”

[stiff burrow]

Now that it's 10 days into August, whatever happened with apwot?

[jade canopy]

Uh they had issue

But they recently tweeted that it was coming

It’s somewhere above in today’s chat

[stiff burrow]

Aight, thanks

[stoic jacinth]

@stiff burrow

[stiff burrow]

I see, thx

[dusty cave]

Yo

[coarse leaf]

Silksong news tomorrow 👀

[stiff burrow]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8bqd2nVkAICWxz?format=jpg&name=large

[analog forge]

no

[coarse leaf]

Lmao I saw that 💀

[chilly nexus]

this is productive (not sarcastic)

[coarse leaf]

It’s fan made

[stiff burrow]

Obviously it's fan made
It's been posted a couple times already

[analog forge]

no... really? nintendo didnt anounce publicly that theres no silksong?

[coarse leaf]

There won’t be silksong news tho

[analog forge]

wow, i cant belive a company known for their aloofness would do such a not thing

[stoic jacinth]

I mean TC is an indie games studio. While it’s unlikely, it’s still possible

[stiff burrow]

Obviously that means there will be news #logic

[coarse leaf]

They didn’t say it but everyone just know there won’t

[chilly nexus]

if and only if there is no news will nintendo or someone announce there will be no news. Therefore no announcement = there will be news. this is sound logic, but the if and only if bit is a bigbig assumption

[brittle garnet]

But if there's no news that still doesn't mean that someone will 100% announce it

[stiff burrow]

Yeah of course not
It could happen, just doesn't seem likely

[rotund aurora]

If I don’t see it I don’t believe it tbh

[chilly nexus]

fair

i could always be remembering wrong

[lament mauve]

Ok, Reddit is just mean.

[pallid flare]

isn't that from twitter

[lament mauve]

wait, is it?

[pallid flare]

I think so?

[short echo]

its fake dw

[normal hinge]

you don't say

[latent otter]

Who has hope for tomorrow

[lament mauve]

I have very little hope

[short echo]

anyway did any staff say anything about tomorrow? like they did with e3?

[latent otter]

Oh yeah that's a relevant question

[pallid flare]

it got announced a few hours ago so I don't think so

[serene patrol]

Wait where?

[brittle garnet]

Btw team Cherry website was last updated 2 days ago, according to an online tool. Can somebody double check?

[short echo]

nintendo tweet

[pallid flare]

the indie world just got announced

[serene patrol]

Ohh right ok

[coarse leaf]

Wait what

[short echo]

im on the website and i dont see any diff

[serene patrol]

Ur name could be all our names rn

[brittle garnet]

There are tools which can check the data of a website to show you when they were last modified

[coarse leaf]

True

[light latch]

???

[coarse leaf]

Doctor help I’m going insane

[latent otter]

Hopium

[stoic iron]

Hummm i dont think ss is gonna be announced at any indie world

[coarse leaf]

It won’t

[light latch]

Even if Silksong isn't there I'm still happy to see some new indie games being announced

[short echo]

same

[latent otter]

Yeah it has its place in a regular direct

[coarse leaf]

Idc about any other games I just want silksong 🥲

[light latch]

There plenty of other great games out there

[stoic iron]

I forgot about ss. I feel free now hahaha

[coarse leaf]

@stoic iron 🐸 phrog 🐸

[lament mauve]

they just said they don't care.

[coarse leaf]

Indeed I did

[latent otter]

Maybe we should accept it will never release

[copper knot]

hollow knight fans when a friend of a friend of a friend of team cherry says a single word: NEWS

[ebon bone]

[coarse leaf]

Ye I kinda vowed not to breathe until ss news so……

[light latch]

Team cherry can take as long as they want, I would just like some kind of update

[normal hinge]

so long

[coarse leaf]

Exactly

[normal hinge]

they are still working on the game

[coarse leaf]

They might be finished

[normal hinge]

no need to thank me

[tall hinge]

no way, omg

[serene patrol]

Skul and blade ascent i think will be announced

[stoic iron]

Phrog indeed

[light latch]

Preferably some new images and a status on their progress, like the other blog posts

[normal hinge]

beggars can't be choosers

[serene patrol]

I would still be happy if i only hear abt other games tho ... fingers crossed

[coarse leaf]

In the edge interview ari said: “we ended up with like, 100 different benches” which might mean they were, or were close, to being finished.

[rotund aurora]

That would be nice.

[stoic jacinth]

yeah, with bench design

[serene patrol]

Maybe theyre fixing bugs ... u know ... knowing the games is about ... bugs

[light latch]

Like 2 years ago they said they had more enemies than HK. I wouldn't read too much into that

[rotund aurora]

Or at least they had the design planned out, maybe not all the art

[stoic jacinth]

You have to realize that the demo they showed off at e3 2019 was unfinished

[coarse leaf]

Benches are a key point in gameplay and are significant locations in every area

[stoic jacinth]

really unfinished

[coarse leaf]

That was 2 years ago

[ornate beacon]

Leth, if you see this, don't confirm nor deconfirm anything.

[coarse leaf]

Oh god leth please

[tight linden]

I don’t think it’s too wild to say significant progress has been made on the game. They had the time over a year ago now to redo a part of the game around Greymoor and the Bell wall, so I assume a good bit of the map has been completed.

[stoic jacinth]

yeah that was. I think that at this point the stuff that was broken (model freezing, AI glitches) take time to build on.

[light latch]

Yeah the Gobolma boss fight definetly needed some work

[coarse leaf]

They do go through regular crunch months so I’m not surprised if 90% of what they’re doing are big fixes

[brittle garnet]

They also touched up Deep Docks and Moss Grotto even, from what we've seen

[coarse leaf]

Ye I’m not surprised if the areas in the demo aren’t even in the final game

[stoic jacinth]

I assume that’s a translation @light latch but I’m not sure

[tight linden]

They certainly could have (have we seen either area since the demo?)

[coarse leaf]

Or are vastly different

[analog edge]

Since Crowsworn Leth has been ignoring us

[light latch]

Gobolma balls lmao

[stoic jacinth]

[runic adder]

Amazing

[coarse leaf]

😡

[stoic jacinth]

I’ll accept defeat here

[tight linden]

Someone doesn’t know the mods here heheheg

[coarse leaf]

Not the mods……

[brittle garnet]

Yes, both in EDGE

[tight linden]

I don’t recall seeing DD. I assume you are saying that the other green area is Moss Grotto, but I think it’s a sub area or entirely unique area.

[coarse leaf]

I’m just going to do what I always do and completely forget silksong exists until I eventually come back and watch all of mossbags videos

[serene patrol]

So how is it?

[runic adder]

Hollow Knight had multiple green areas, it’s definitely not inconceivable for Silksong to do the same

[coarse leaf]

🐸

[serene patrol]

[jade canopy]

Nah using green will make ss a ripoff of other game that use green so I don’t think so

[stoic jacinth]

yeah hollow knight had resting grounds, hive, forgotten crossroads, ancient basin, all classic green areas

or he’s been hired for another game similar to hollow knight

[coarse leaf]

I might get crowsworn to tide me over

[fallow solar]

No spoilers, but has let’s said anything about indie world?

[stoic jacinth]

not yet

[coarse leaf]

No

[jade canopy]

More ss-discussion copuimi love it

[fallow solar]

Aight cool, thanks

[light latch]

He's working for both (he's working for a few games, actually)

[coarse leaf]

When is crowsworn releasing?

[brittle garnet]

It's even the same room as in the demo

[fallow solar]

Probably a few years from now. Games take a while

[light latch]

I'd say 3-5 years

[stoic jacinth]

It says December 2023 but that could be placeholder

[coarse leaf]

I thought it had a release date 💀

[runic adder]

December of 2023 is when they said it would release iirc, with all the stretch goals that could be pushed back further

[light latch]

def

[coarse leaf]

Like august or sum

[gray shell]

today

[light latch]

Especially with how much content was added through stretch goals, it's gonna be a while before crowsworn comes out

[coarse leaf]

Tomorrowow

[gray shell]

crowsworn will be real in 2013

[fallow solar]

Crowsworn has a ton of content to at least it’ll be fun

[chilly nexus]

eh let's switch from crowsworn back to ss

elden ring made him eat that statement for 2022 :p

[coarse leaf]

Milk song

[outer frost]

Hey fellow discussers, you guys excited for indieland this year?

[fallow solar]

Yes yes

[coarse leaf]

No because silksong probably won’t be there

[chilly nexus]

not too too much. I tend to be a late adopter of games. I play very few games and the ones that i do i go ham with

[outer frost]

I don't personally think silksong will be in indieland but it's a possibility

[runic adder]

Yeah, I’m hoping for news on the switch port for Omori

[fallow solar]

If silksong isn’t there, then I won’t have to eat a cup of dirt. I see this as an absolute win

[coarse leaf]

*8 months

[light latch]

Awesome

[outer frost]

I do the same thing

[gray shell]

i've never played a souls game but elden ring seems cool ig

[coarse leaf]

I played hollow knight and then immediately decided it was my favourite game ever

And it still is

[runic adder]

November 19th

[stoic jacinth]

It’s definitely a different path for souls

[gray shell]

i played hollow knight in 2019 when i heard of silksong because i didn't know it was announced that year and i thought it would come out soon and i didn't really like it

i picked the game back up late last year and now it's one of my favorite games

[light latch]

I've got a sneaking suspicion silksong is gonna come out on February 29th, 2022

[gray shell]

like i thought it was a cool game but i didn't really like it but that was because i was pretty bad at games in general and i couldn't beat soul master

[stoic jacinth]

good strategy

[stoic iron]

Same until I played outer wilds

[coarse leaf]

February. 24th. 2022.

[gray shell]

the strat is to leave the server, wipe your memory of silksong so when it comes out you get really happy hearing about a new hk game coming out

[rancid vector]

where did this come from

[void skiff]

I really wish team cherry would just shut down all these rumours before they got started

[chilly nexus]

TIS BEEN SPOKEN, SO SHALL IT BE

[coarse leaf]

Me. Who else?

[rancid vector]

lol. poop

[stoic iron]

Yoooo hand gang!!

[void skiff]

I think they like seeing everyone go nuts every direct

[runic adder]

Fool is a prophet

[chilly nexus]

tbh i don't think they pay attention

[rancid vector]

what do people in the hand gang do? is it what i suspect?

[coarse leaf]

Clearly. Never have been wrong in the past!

[chilly nexus]

Leth and graig might notice it, but I think Ari Will and Jack just kinda keep to themselves and keep sane working

[runic adder]

Your prophecies are as true as Grover’s

[coarse leaf]

Are you insulting my wisdom? Grover’s nothing but a Fool! Oh-

[stoic iron]

But wait, we have something else to show you!! is not ss

[tight linden]

Oh yeah. Forgot about this one!

[gray shell]

i don't expect silksong but i'll still watch indie world to keep an eye out, plus its just fun to stream it with my friends

i wonder how big the game is at this point. it might just be getting bigger and bigger

[light latch]

ss is a tough abbreviation for Silksong...

[gray shell]

it is pretty funny how indie world alligns with the 600th day of poorly drawn hollow knight from weeblesjeebles or whatever his username is

[rancid vector]

do we know when HK's development started? and what SS' development started?

[tight linden]

Not surprised though. If they did for Silksong what they did for HK and started redoing rooms from the beginning of the game onwards than it makes sense DD would be done by Dec 2020, considering that by April 2020 Greymoor would’ve been done.

[runic adder]

I don’t think it’s really growing much at this point, my guess is they’re polishing it

[coarse leaf]

hk in 2014

[tight linden]

SS dev started before Godmaster but didn’t pick up speed until after.

[coarse leaf]

ss probably in 2019

[fallow solar]

Wait a minute-

[tight linden]

Sounds like Ari started SS with art while they were doing coding for Godmaster, if i recall

[rancid vector]

my guess would be 2022 then. 4 years

[fallow solar]

How in the world do you have the unholy percentage of 224%

[rancid vector]

im figuring 4 years because godhome dropped august 2018

[runic adder]

I’m guessing SS will release later this year or early next year

[tight linden]

Ok but that is a weird way of reaching that conclusion

[light latch]

Theoretically, silksong should take less than Hk because they can reuse code and have the experience of creating a similar game

[fallow solar]

But they add new features

[rancid vector]

it took them 4 years to complete hk and all dlc. they very well may be trying to make the base game as large as HK and all of its dlc

[stoic iron]

2022 is the year

[coarse leaf]

But thats just a theory

[tight linden]

I’ve agreed with this before, but Silksong is a bigger game with many new systems and they want to make it perfect

[runic adder]

You can’t really use HK’s development time to figure out Silksong’s, there’s just too many factors involved

[stoic jacinth]

the only code you can reuse is AI code and that’s not enough

[light latch]

a game theory

[rancid vector]

ah true. but who knows

[stoic jacinth]

Past that everything is different enough to require new codes and physics.

[rancid vector]

they are doing new coding i'd imagine. new systems in the gameplay

[jade canopy]

Hk code is so spaghetti coded that I don’t think they really want to

[tight linden]

I believe it’s been said before they can transfer code and tune it up, making it easier overall coding wise

[frank mist]

I like to think the absolute latest it will release is March 2022

[rancid vector]

some old coding, lots of new, i would guess

[gray shell]

is hollow knight actually spaghetti coded cause that would be really funny

[light latch]

That's very optimistic

[tight linden]

Not really.

[rancid vector]

latest for me is jan 2023

earliest may next year

[frank mist]

You’re pessimistic

[gray shell]

i do think 2023 and over is out of the question

[rancid vector]

typo

[jade canopy]

When you consider that knockback is based around frame and that v-sync increase it then yeah kinda

[runic adder]

I’ve heard things about how bad the coding is from people making mods

[frank mist]

I def think it will come early next year

[rancid vector]

crazy given how well the game runs

[pallid flare]

[tight linden]

I think I remember Pale Court talking about it

[runic adder]

I remember hearing about it from Sugar in particular

[gray shell]

last year i said that i will eat a shoe if the game doesn't release this year and i will eat my other shoe if it comes out in 2023 or later

i don't stand by my first statement anymore very much but i will stand by it

[tight linden]

A whole pair, down the hatch

[rancid vector]

it's not coming this year. im pretty certain. (obviously i have no insider knowledge, but this year isn't the case im willing to put money on it)

[jade canopy]

It was improved in later updates but for example 1.2.2.1 runs way worst compare to modern version

[normal valley]

Maybe it will release soon after the Nintendo Switch OLED version because of how big of a game it is

[gray shell]

no

[tight linden]

Pessimism.
We can’t know when the game will come out till they reveal the release date.

[rancid vector]

it's next year.

[gray shell]

switch oled is not an improvement by much, at least to justify needing a new console to run the game

[normal hinge]

or is it

[rancid vector]

02/22/22

[frank mist]

Yeah idk why people like being pessimistic, realistically its still very possible for this year

[signal crag]

Oh hey p h r a x, new pfp?

[light latch]

Each year people are certain it will come out, and then it doesn't. I remember when Silksong was first announced, people were laughing at those who suggested they'd have to wait as long as mid 2020

[tight linden]

Hey Alsart. Yep! Kobeni from Chainsawman.

[rancid vector]

02/22/22 release date. bet

[runic adder]

Being overly pessimistic isn’t really better than being overly optimistic

[rancid vector]

totally is. protects against disappointment

[frank mist]

I think it will be announced within the next 2 big directs

[signal crag]

There’s both negative AND positive toxicity

[frank mist]

Probably the one at the beginning of 2022

[tight linden]

Most basic thing you could’ve said. This has been rehashed here a thousand times over.

[rancid vector]

it'll probably be anounced within the next two years, i think

[stoic jacinth]

The games been in development since 2018 at the latest, they said it started to come together after HK release, saying 2021 release date is possible isnt overly optimistic, just regular optimistic

[light latch]

Yeah. There not much you can say. We all are baselessly speculating about a game we haven't heard anything from in a year

[signal crag]

Oh right, tomorrow is the indie world, huh?

[pallid flare]

yes

[stoic jacinth]

most likely won’t get anything

[rancid vector]

02/22/22

[tight linden]

Well aware, trying to use an ounce of creativity to say something new is hard.

[signal crag]

Like i had any doubts about that

[light latch]

Here's something new: Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
(I'm the Scatman)
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub

[runic adder]

As someone who’s been in this server for over a year I’m certainly aware of this, but it’s going to come out someday

[rancid vector]

someday in 2022

[frank mist]

Tomorrow is my birthday so i say it gets released tomorrow 😌

[rancid vector]

you just ruined your birthday

[runic adder]

So true

[gray shell]

oh nice, happy birthday i guess

[stark prism]

nah

[runic adder]

Happy early birthday!

[normal hinge]

[stoic jacinth]

2022 is sort of the deadline for when I think everything is proceeding well. Past 2022, something has gone wrong in development

[coarse leaf]

Dissapointment rush incoming

[rancid vector]

the longer in development, the more excited i am

[jade canopy]

Personnaly i take the lack of news at E3 and of right now as a sign that the game won’t come before 2022

[normal hinge]

oh hey there , long time no see

[gray shell]

i doubt i'll be here tomorrow, or i doubt anybody can have a conversation if the last indie direct's outcome happens again so i might as well say happy birthday now

[rancid vector]

it means they are taking their time to do better than the first

[covert talon]

I know what silksong is about

[light latch]

hornet

[rancid vector]

it's about that female bug doing stuff

[runic adder]

They’ve revealed quite a bit already, tbh I don’t see them revealing much more until it’s time to release the game

[gray shell]

silksong is about bugs

[covert talon]

Ima dm you real quick

[tight linden]

Quite frankly I hope they don’t show much more off. I like surprises.

[jade canopy]

Well release trailer are a thing

[signal crag]

Either the game is actually m a s s i v e as heck....
Or something didn’t actually gone as planned after all

[empty pilot]

silksong mid 2022 tbh

[rancid vector]

nah they'll do one more trailer with a release date

[tight linden]

Shut up Mew

[rancid vector]

they didn't do it at e3 cuz it's 2022. (02/22/22)

[empty pilot]

wtf phrax 😢

[gray shell]

i'm weird and i want to learn about how the game controls, how crests and tools work, aka the mechanics, but i don't really want to learn about the world until it releases

[runic adder]

I said until it’s time to release the game, I was meaning a release trailer when I said that

[tight linden]

No longer allowed at my bday party

[empty pilot]

nooooooo

[signal crag]

WOW

[jade canopy]

Well at one point graig said that ss was in development hell, so like yeah it’s not easy making a game ?

[tight linden]

Okay maybe that was mean. You’re invited but only one serving of cake.

[empty pilot]

im ok with this

[signal crag]

Link to that?

[runic adder]

Lol don’t trust Graig on that

[tight linden]

I mean, it’s Graig.

[empty pilot]

graig is a massive troll dont trust him

[runic adder]

Graig’s a shitposter

[pallid flare]

did he

[brittle garnet]

If this is true it also means that if the game is not close to completion then we won't get news for a long while

[rancid vector]

i consider "development hell" to mean "perfectionistic fine tuning" when i hear that. team members that say that want to just put out their work so that people can see it and enjoy. they probably just have a different mindset

[tight linden]

I think we will get news soon. Pretty certain. If not, I will literally explode into 14 pieces.

[rancid vector]

14 pieces inc. 02/22/22

[light latch]

Didn't graig also say something about that Gobolma character?

[gray shell]

hah i'll explode into 15 pieces if it releases past 2023

[empty pilot]

i get one of the phrax pieces

[signal crag]

14 pieces? Sounds like a precise number

[brittle garnet]

I will explode into 14 pieces if APWOT is supposed to be the news

[tight linden]

Not a release date, fool. NEWS. HIGE DIFFERENCE GET IT RIGHT!!!!!

[pallid flare]

newd?

[rancid vector]

well i gave you the release date. you heard it here first

[runic adder]

[jade canopy]

It was in this chat, he later change it to development heaven cus a mod tolled him to do so

[tight linden]

Whoa whoa, hold your houses. You’ll be banned from here and other servers for saying something like that!

[jade canopy]

But for some reason I can’t seem to be able to search for his name

[pallid flare]

this is my final message

[light latch]

Who's name?

[rancid vector]

february the twenty-second, in twenty twenty-two

[brittle garnet]

Also, many people share the sentiment that the next piece of news will be the release date

[tight linden]

Houses said intentionally, I recall Pyro being a millionaire

[gray shell]

watch out i'm gonna say the fuck word avert your eyes

[pallid flare]

i'm a what

[light latch]

Try searching: Gobolma

[signal crag]

I actually wonder how Leth even proposed about doing more blogposts, if there’s little info they are okay sharing (game content is spoiler, and game dev status is pointless)

[slow summit]

any chance we'll get news at tomorrow's nintendo indie showcase?

[tight linden]

Millionaire

[slow summit]

or has it been confirmed they have nothing to show

[tight linden]

Simple answer We don’t know.

[pallid flare]

i have 30€ on my desk, is that enough?

[frank mist]

Since im not getting silksong tomorrow the last thing i can hope for is spelunky 2 for switch as a birthday gift

[stark prism]

zero

[slow summit]

Two very different answers lmao

[tight linden]

Wrong, we don’t know.

[stark prism]

it's not 2022 yet
the possibility of news is literally non existant

[slow summit]

I'm pessimistic but I just want to be sure they didn't say anything like they did at e3

[tight linden]

Where if your source for this?

[signal crag]

We don’t know, but that doesn’t mean we can’t assume things

[rancid vector]

they will announce the release date on 02/22/22, for 03/30/30

[stark prism]

shitty calculations i did

[gray shell]

eeh i'd disagree

[empty pilot]

well see you all in another 4 months

[slow summit]

Where did they say they won't be releasing news until 2022?

[jade canopy]

Here you have it with the mod message too

[tight linden]

Than don’t cite it.

[pallid flare]

that message was in satirical nature

[runic adder]

Yeah Graig was shitposting there

[stark prism]

It is a credible source since i am the embodiment of swag

[rancid vector]

cant wait to play SS when it releases in 2029

[slow summit]

Ok I'm going to keep like a little hope for tomorrow then

[olive bobcat]

Is someone trying to use Graig as a valid source

[tight linden]

You’re a little sus

[slow summit]

Watch the whole showcase live like a fucking idiot just in case

[pallid flare]

don't get mad if there's no silksong tomorrow

[light latch]

I would be positively surprised if silksong was in the indie world, and completely fine if it wasn't. That's the power of having low expectations
