[mortal grove]

you know the place you unlock once youve opened all stag stations

[silver oak]

Stag nest?

[mortal grove]

yes stag nest

its in howling cliffs and while i was walking around i found it in my map and i was trying to get there

[barren roost]

what about it?

[nimble pebble]

You just have to talk to Old stag

[mortal grove]

this was before i had the stations opened

[silver oak]

ttacco is making me nervous

[cerulean sable]

holowk night fornite crosserv\

[silver oak]

wow
that was extremely anticlimactic

[cerulean sable]

ok this is gonna be some massive conspiracy shit
like maybe TC doesnt wanna do news and stuff cuz again it takes away from development but i have 200 km/s IQ moment and say that theyre doing it intentionally to increase the value and create hype because if you think about it the oversaturation of news devalues it like seashells on the seashore so the value of news will fall due to the law of supply demand noone likes news theres loads on the sub

so by limiting the supply increase the impact of each news cycle and yada yada ;osdjfklasj;ldfs

[atomic bloom]

pogo stick tool in silksong?

makes u go bounce

[nimble pebble]

I mean that's just straight up facts

[silver oak]

She sells seashells on a seashore
But the value of these shells will fall
Due to the laws of supply and demand
No one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand

[nimble pebble]

Oh boy that song

[barren roost]

pacco?

[atomic bloom]

step one

wait,,,,, geo are shells

[silver oak]

[cerulean sable]

but you might say "but tc woudlven NEVER LIE" aha but they do cuz remember they got interviewed about the death mechanic in an interview and they said "Dont worry we have it ready and itll be surprise once you play the game 😉 "

then after the interview they both said "Shit, uhh how are we gonna do the death system"

[silver oak]

I love that story

[mortal grove]

wait waht

[cerulean sable]

i really do

[atomic bloom]

hornet doesn’t die

[mortal grove]

where does that happen

[cerulean sable]

yeah its an actual story before the game got released

mentioned in a 2017-2018? interview i think

and they said thats how they conceived the death mechanic

[mortal grove]

[silver oak]

They literally came up with the shade, and thus the entire sibling/vessel lore, because they were asked the wrong question in an interview

[barren roost]

killing other bugs can cause inflation?
hallownest's economy was really unstable

[cerulean sable]

Oh yeah the shade stuff happened because of that

they realized like, "wait what the fuck do we do with the death system"

"like WHAT happens to the knight"

then thought about creating this afterlife object that you had to fight back

[chilly nexus]

i ❤️ deaths that are cannonical

[cerulean sable]

which would get expanded later

[silver oak]

Originally, it was just the mask falls down and shatters, and that's it

[cerulean sable]

ye

[silver oak]

Technically, in HK death is still non-canonical

[nimble pebble]

why are they a 17th century artillery

[silver oak]

The death mechanic in silksong is something that still kinda confuses me

[nimble pebble]

You burst into Silk and leave a cocoon

[stoic jacinth]

and get a full spool back with that

[hasty summit]

I mean, what else could they do? No shade because no void. And it helps in the game for boss fights because you can save the cocoon in case you need silk

[silver oak]

Like, she leaves a cocoon, and it has silk in it. Does it store her money like in HK? Do you keep certain money depending on whether it's stringed or not? How does this work lore-wise? How could she respawn canonically?

Many questions

[nimble pebble]

The cocoon is made of silk

[nimble pebble]

Also yes it does matter how much rosaries you have stringed

Also her death would likely be non canon as it is in HK

[wet loom]

u should work on the stock market or something

[silver oak]

Yeah I guess that does solve everything

[stoic jacinth]

1: No, it doesn't store rosaries, but she'll just keep her shards
2: Only strings are kept if they're unbroken
3: it doesn't, same as hk
4: she couldn't

[silver oak]

I don't like it tho

[nimble pebble]

It is how it is

[bronze plinth]

This the first time I care so much about lore in a game. Any other game is like "lmao ded"

[nimble pebble]

Most games have respawning as a non canon mechanic

Though I believe Hades' respawning is canon

[stoic jacinth]

I like it, beating the shade was never an issue for me and having a on-demand refill of silk that can make all the difference with the new healing system to finish off a hard boss

[silver oak]

HK hides a lot of it's lore, making people come together to figure it out. mossbag talked about that in his newest vid

[nimble pebble]

Though I can't recall

[nimble pebble]

Don't forget Silk abilities

[stoic jacinth]

Right, but i'll be using it for healing

silksong looks hard man

[silver oak]

I'm really going to make a commitment to not rely entirely on basic attacking in Silksong, which is basically what I've done for the entirety of HK.

[hasty summit]

I’m pretty sure steelsoul is canon because when you die you lose your shade. The normal mode is technically non canonical because you can respawn and get your shade back. Also if Hornet died in canon, it wouldn’t make sense, especially if it was a prequel

[nimble pebble]

I'll be using it for both

[stoic jacinth]

carmelita is already my favorite boss, thought i'd mention that

[nimble pebble]

Then it's simply a sequel

[nimble pebble]

Based opinion

[stoic jacinth]

looks so cool and could be the perfect ending to a really cool area, one that's been cut and reused

[serene patrol]

Oooh oooh a sequel prequel debate

[nimble pebble]

[serene patrol]

Lemme lurk

[nimble pebble]

Nah we aren't really

[serene patrol]

Awwww

[nimble pebble]

So far for my top 3 bosses

1. Carmelitia
2. Coral Warlord
3. Seth

[hasty summit]

If it’s prequel: explains how Hornet gets their spike ball tool… thing
If it’s sequel: she knew how to make it already but lost them from being captured

[nimble pebble]

I also like ballow

[hasty summit]

Oh we’re not? Ok

[silver oak]

Coral Guy and Golem look the coolest fight wise

[nimble pebble]

Hornet mentions wanting her old tools back implying she already had them prior to losing them likely when she got jumped

[silver oak]

Carmelita and Trobbio are my favorite lore wise

So far, of course

[nimble pebble]

Carmelitia looks like a sassy Flamenco dancer

[tribal schooner]

i get the impression that carmelita and the ants are essentially the mantis tribe of pharloom

[nimble pebble]

I feel they'll be more than that

Also I love the Flamenco queen

[barren roost]

oh, while we're talking about that, is there an explanation for why enemies respawn when you sit at a bench or is that just a thing that doesn't really happen

[hasty summit]

can’t wait to fight her

[nimble pebble]

Game mechanic

[nimble pebble]

[bronze plinth]

It's a game and you'll run out of money if they didn't respawn

[nimble pebble]

[barren roost]

Ahh so hornet can also parry?

[north raven]

I WAS LOOKING FOR A LACE PICTURE

[analog lily]

That won't stop me from playing it

[silver oak]

Hornet can parry in HK

[stoic jacinth]

Yes, she has every move that’s in HK as a boss except the basic lunge moves as far as we know

[north raven]

NO FAM FRIENDLY

KILL ME

[minor sand]

i hope team cherry dosent over do ss

[north raven]

[mortal grove]

OHHH my god he has two swords i just realized

Nah it looks like swords

[silver oak]

The scissor enemy?

[north raven]

This is easily whylace is awesome

[mortal grove]

WHO reacted with pukign zote

[silver oak]

It doesn't have a name

Does anyone know how you would actually get into the Citadel?

[hasty summit]

Who keeps doing the gross faces

[analog lily]

Eer

[north raven]

this

[analog lily]

Ok?

[north raven]

she is gauring an elevator

[mortal grove]

lace's head is shaped like an upside down croissant thats why she sucks

[nimble pebble]

So apparently they're adding cookie clicker to steam

[silver oak]

The elevator presumably goes to the citadel

[stoic jacinth]

finally

[analog lily]

YES

[hasty summit]

Lace fight before citadel

[analog lily]

Time to play the game all over again

[nimble pebble]

[mortal grove]

i think that will just make you more sad

[analog lily]

Me waiting for TC to say something

[iron spear]

Hi guys I stole someone else's music and put it on YouTube. Please donate here.

Oh I think he remixed the music. That's ok then sorry Rusty I jumped the gun :)

[silver oak]

Yeah I think he hired someone

I know relyea did lofi remixes of a lot of the songs

[analog lily]

When someone asks when is SilkSong for the tenth time this day:

[bronze plinth]

This reminds me of a video with the Celeste soundtrack that was THE SAME soundtrack Lena has in her channel for free...like bruh

I don't usually dislike videos but bruh

[chilly nexus]

I already miss him

[wispy flame]

does anyone else have bouts of sadness when you remember that silksong is just a collective figment of our imagination.

[heavy briar]

I wish Team Cherry were real

[analog lily]

Me too

[iron spear]

Don't worry guys I'm sure the next direct will be the one

Chin Up

[fiery coral]

[odd plover]

Does anybody have fake silksong screenshots? (I'm planning to use them in a troll blog by the way)

[fathom peak]

first thing i see after looking here is lacenet
amazing

[fleet temple]

ask aluomorg

[odd plover]

I think he said a long time ago in the silksong fakes server that he didn't want the edits to be used for that

Or maybe I'm mistaken, I dont know

[fleet temple]

oh, then idk where you can find anything else

also, i didn't know there was a ss fakes server, maybe just go there?

[odd plover]

Fuck do I know how to join now

[fleet temple]

neither do i

[barren roost]

silk song confirmed for next week??????

[serene chasm]

Theres a direct next week?

[barren roost]

[barren roost]

no

[chilly nexus]

SS will be in the pokemon direct tomorrow morning confirmed

[stoic jacinth]

yeah it’s the perfect place to put it

[chilly nexus]

it'll be the "one more thing" after Pokemon Legends Arceus

[serene chasm]

Oh thank Unn!

[barren roost]

there's a pokemon direct tomorrow morning?

[chilly nexus]

ye 9am est

the remakes and arceus are what they're gonna show

[serene chasm]

Introducing Hornet as one of the new starters

[chilly nexus]

na she's the bug type you find in the starter forest

she evolves into winged nosk and then herrah the beast

[mortal grove]

hornt

[chilly nexus]

her ability is that, when she faints, the pokemon sent in after her receives her leftover enchanted silk and is fully healed and cured of statuses

[odd plover]

I know but I'm looking for silksong stuff

[mortal grove]

ask aluo

[analog lily]

It might not look like it but I am dying waiting for SilkSong now

[serene chasm]

RIP

[mortal grove]

just like all of us

[serene chasm]

One of us! One of us!

[mortal grove]

HWAT

[serene chasm]

Yes. The cyber police have been notified and you are going straight to jail

[barren roost]

well, yes

[mortal grove]

also ignore the caption but what if this was in crow kart (crowsworn)

[serene chasm]

le gasp. I do that too. You wont learn anything

[mortal grove]

oh thats not stalking

[serene chasm]

Literally only william usees it

[mortal grove]

their twitter is dead as hell

[analog lily]

Isn't the last thing they said is that the won't be at E3?

[serene chasm]

Leth said that. Last message we got from TC was the kickstarter update last december

[analog lily]

Oh well that is so long ago but didn't edge magazine come later?

[serene chasm]

about a month later

[odd plover]

That's in the past

Now we wait for crowsworn

[analog lily]

And Zoteboat

[chilly temple]

Ima tell the future: silksong will come out 2463378 years from now

[mortal grove]

why did someone just say their real name in #hk-meme

[chilly temple]

...

[fleet temple]

😆 🤣

[chilly temple]

[chilly nexus]

remember when no one (not even TC) knew if SS or APWOT would come first?

we all collectively just learned something

[analog lily]

What is APWOT?

[mortal grove]

a profound waste of time

[chilly nexus]

jk it's not sad, more nice in how we were all on the same plane of consciousness about a thing

my wifi is being dead

[analog lily]

ok

[mortal grove]

so

aaargh i keep thinking im hatter

[fiery coral]

identity crisis

[proud vale]

split personality

[void garnet]

Any news in the past 4 months i havent been there?

No news since December

[proud vale]

Gotta wait till Feb for that

“finishing”, huh? 💀

Matthew Griffin (@griffinmatta)

@TeamCherryGanes Hey, could we ask you stop impersonating Team Cherry? They're starting to have issues with confused and concerned fans, as a result of your Tweets.

They want to put all their energy into finishing Silksong right now.

Twitter · Aug 18, 2021, 1:41 AM

[grim forge]

Glad that's all cleared up

[atomic bloom]

ari’s in the hyperbolic gravity chamber

preparing to release his full strength

[analog lily]

This gets me exited because it is now basically confirmed that TC is actually Woking on SS

[haughty ingot]

honestly i thought they were vacationing at the arctics the whole time

[lilac ravine]

Hey quick question everyone from the trailers and the gameplay whats known about the lore in silksong

[atomic bloom]

It’s there

[haughty ingot]

uhh you can watch mossbag’s videos on this

there’s like bells and stuff

[lilac ravine]

Oh thanks!

[mortal grove]

well does this count as news

[frank sparrow]

did leth just say TC is finishing ss?

[coarse leaf]

right now?

[frank sparrow]

i see finishing and Silksong

which is great- TC deserve the longest holiday once they're done with ss tbh-

[vagrant umbra]

Meanwhile Leth is getting ready to explain what he means by finish and how we interpret finish we will always be two different things.

[fickle flume]

will SS be a 60 dollar game? cause i think they can do that now,especially cause most 60 dollar games are worse(im kind of exaggerating) than hollow knight

[mortal grove]

no

they want it accessible as possible so expect 15

[fickle flume]

i see

[vagrant umbra]

Indie games don’t go higher than 40.

Usually

[fickle flume]

true

but it would be nice to see either indie games go higher in price or AAA games come down

cause its weird that something like HK is 1/3rd the price of FIFA

[vagrant umbra]

The problem is price doesn’t really do anything justice except for folks that have no idea what games they are looking at and choose the cheaper one. FIFA, for example, will charge 60 bc they know enough people who know about FIFA will buy it.

[fickle flume]

True EA can get people to buy just cause its fifa while HK needed to convince people its not a waste of money

[vagrant umbra]

If you think people should support Team Cherry more, there’s always the OST and merch.

[fickle flume]

oh yeah

[mortal grove]

you can always buy the game for a friend

[chilly nexus]

I'd like to see SS be perceived as the same sort of 'premium indie game' that Ori 2 was marketed as with its price and everything, but also see TC not wanting to go higher than like 29.99 or something. (tbh, looking at it, I really like 29.99)

I think they could sell it at that price and then maybe do a bundle of two copies for 39.99 or something (one for you and one to gift, or one for one platform and one for another)

[signal crag]

Yeah

Just like TC said they were “finishing” Silksong in that Kickstarter comment

[chilly nexus]

and the the treehouse presenters back in 2019

[signal crag]

So don’t trust anyone, huh?

[chilly nexus]

i mean, it's technically true

[signal crag]

Yeah, surely

[chilly nexus]

at any point in time, you are working at finishing the thing

[frank sparrow]

but i want to trust everybody

[thin hearth]

Everybody except for Ganes

[mortal grove]

dont trust a sun eater theyre going to eat you one day

[analog lily]

Well SS has to be close considering TC has been working on it even before Godhome DLC came out

[warm bone]

"finishing"

[analog lily]

Yep "Finishing"

[mortal grove]

yeah they did rush godhome

have u seen sly gs hitbox

[signal crag]

Did graig actally said something like that?

That they had to rush god master to work on Silksong

[chilly nexus]

for me, it's the: "Already slipping into extra content" comment they made in 2019 :p

also, they hit 167 enemies 2 years ago, after an assumed 2 years of development

2 more years have passed (enemy count is ofc not linear tho)

[signal crag]

They could have focused on other aspects in that time

[primal oriole]

TC describing what they're doing as "finishing Silksong" isn't new

[signal crag]

Yeah, i already said that

Fans will still over react as usual tho

[tulip brook]

Sweet they should have 334 enemies by now

I know you all were thinking that

[mortal grove]

yeah at first i was like oh my god finishing and then i remembered

[eager wren]

good morning fam. any new updates on release date today?

[mortal grove]

no

[hollow sedge]

any hint of Silksong and people will assume anything lmao

[frank sparrow]

i assume TC gets a nice long holiday

[signal crag]

Nah, we don’t deserve it

[coarse leaf]

I am addicted to dota 2.Tried to uninstall but i feel bore and i install and play again and agian
Played 8450hours
but in 2018 december 31st i promised myself not to touch dota 2
in 2019 i started zelda breath of the wild and it was an amazing experience which kept me away from dota 2
i continued with many games like Nier automata,Ori,mario galaxy1,2,Shovel knight,stardew valley,tohou luna nights,gris,dmc 5
and in 2019 ending I played this MASTERPIECE game HOLLOW KNIGHT and hereafter i played darksouls 3,1,sekiro,deadcells,.......

Now i am bored again since from 1.5year .

Hoping for Silksong to come fast and i will play it for 3months to few more months nonstop :3

[cerulean sable]

did leth actually say that

[mortal grove]

yea leth actually said that

[tropic mica]

If he did it was quite a while ago I cannot find it

[mortal grove]

_ _

[cerulean sable]

its just recent

cuz some peeps are dumb enough to unironically think this account is real

[hollow sedge]

i mean it says satire in the bio lmao

[coarse leaf]

its fake? oh i thought its real 😦

[cerulean sable]

im talking about TeamCherryGanes

[cerulean sable]

doesnt help that some do think its them

[coarse leaf]

oh for a sec i though leth twitter was fake

[cerulean sable]

Leth Tweet is real

its addressing an account called TeamCherryGanes which pretends to be the real TC account and does joke like "Silksong will not be released" and stuff like that

thing is despite putting Satire on the bio some people STILL think its the real account

[chilly nexus]

in the peoples' defence, mistaking an n for an m, when you're expecting an m, is pretty easy to do

[cerulean sable]

like i would see replies to the satire account of "Is this for real? Team Cherry could you please give us an update then"

[coarse leaf]

what colour blood do silksong game have when we kill bugs?

i will open demo or trailer and see wait

[cerulean sable]

i mean i fell for it at first, then you notice and start thinking "Uhh i dont think TC is suddenly gonna risk killing their goodwill by pissing off fans with offshoot tweets like this"

[chilly nexus]

and if you want to believe it's TC cuz you're news starved, you're gonna make yourself believe it's TC (at least partially)

[cerulean sable]

then you eventually just do a bit of research and realize its a fake account

[chilly nexus]

i also fell for it at first ye, then was just a lil disappointed when i was like "wait a minute..."

[tropic mica]

I still think pax aus might be where they show themselves again, doesn't have to release date, but I think we will hear something, Hopefully

[cerulean sable]

my otherside is telling me theyre just beelining for the release

[chilly nexus]

I honestly think that's it yeah

like releasing ss is their only goal

[cerulean sable]

like fuck updates, we already see a horizon for a potential release date, just fucking bumrush the thing and make that the update

[hollow sedge]

the next main nintendo direct maybe

[tropic mica]

I think that will be too stuffed with nintendos own games, the new mario party, the wario game, maybe smash etc, but you could be right, we all could be

[cerulean sable]

too stuffed with nintendos own games

yeah thats the big issue

those games dont stand a chance

[chilly nexus]

SS fans and nintendo fans are a pretty similar demographic i think ye

[sacred stratus]

I don't think we will get news at gamescon either

[tropic mica]

Nah gamescon, will probaly not be it

[hollow sedge]

there might not be a update, the next time they show the game might be for the release trailer

[tropic mica]

Maybe they just announce it themselves without an event who knows

[sacred stratus]

no bcs of one aspect: nintendo fans will pay 60$ for a cheap port of a 10 year old game and SS fans will pay 60$ for a masterpiece

[tropic mica]

Yeah, you might be right, since we have had a demo

[hollow sedge]

unless theres some sort of development issue the latest i see the game releasing is q2 2022

[tropic mica]

Remember this is what we said after E3 where ss was announced....

[hollow sedge]

that was june 2019

[sacred stratus]

yeah they said that TC are finishing the game and that the game will come out soon

[hollow sedge]

its august 2021 now its been a while lmao

[heavy mason]

Did this server go nuts when ss was announced?

[sacred stratus]

I wasn't around when that happened

[cerulean sable]

it went nuts everytime something gets announced

[coarse leaf]

i was here but pretty new

[cerulean sable]

i was in school when it happened

i think the server died for like 5 minutes

[terse relic]

maybe leth was really tired last night and just slapped his head onto his keyboard at the end

[sacred stratus]

I only joined about a year ago

[cerulean sable]

and that was half of what we had right now

the first craziness i was part of was 2018's Lifeblood release

[sacred stratus]

what happened last night?

[cerulean sable]

this

[heavy mason]

So life lifeblood didn’t come together with the game at the beginning ?

[cerulean sable]

I was here when the Grimm Troupe came out and i bought the game by then

Lifeblood was March 2018

[heavy mason]

Wait did the true ending exist when the game first released? Wasn’t the dream nail a dlc?

[cerulean sable]

TE already existed

Dreamnail isnt a DLC

its part of the core progression

[heavy mason]

Wasn’t there a souls and something dlc?

[mortal grove]

that added gpz and white defender

[cerulean sable]

what WAS added by Hidden Dreams were:
Grey Prince, White Defender, Dreamgate and a charm

[heavy mason]

Ah but there was enough soul for true ending?

[mortal grove]

?

[cerulean sable]

Lifeblood was more of a completion, optimization and adjustment update

yeah you had

GPZ and White Def essence was just an extra

[mortal grove]

oh essence for dnail

[ocean mulch]

No more Team Cherry Ganes 😭

[sacred stratus]

lol I remember when the riddles came out and everyone kept sating that SS is gonna launch in late 2020 or early 2021 well...

yeah welcome to late 2021 with no release date in the horizon

[ocean mulch]

The horizon is 2 weeks max

[cunning geode]

Ever the optimist, aye?

[ocean mulch]

Hm?

More Like devil's advocate

Chaotic evil alignment

[cunning geode]

Lawful Evil

it’s where trolls thrive

[sacred stratus]

it's actually longer bcs TC said they'll share more info when the game is close to release

so if they ever share info with consistency we will know that the game is close to release

[cobalt ridge]

no more upadates on silksong I presume

[sacred stratus]

yes

[mortal grove]

feel so bad for that person

[frank sparrow]

OH WOAH

[proud vale]

Whaaaaaaat

"don't forget to use the #silksong"

[signal crag]

I will assume that’s just a joke
I refuse to believe that’s real

[mortal grove]

oh you poor child

[proud vale]

It seems really legit

[mortal grove]

they think its legit and i feel SO so bad

[cerulean sable]

betting on 12 year old

[tribal merlin]

really. we would have never known

[frank sparrow]

woah its a fake account? how did we not know this? who could have done this? ||/s||

creepy

[haughty ingot]

and they never stopped since

[tribal merlin]

it's scuffed Sauron

[frank sparrow]

you know whats scuffed? being forced to the doctors

[tribal merlin]

I got my 2nd vaccination appointment today

[proud vale]

Grats dude

[tribal merlin]

yeah I hope I'm not flattened for the next 2 days

[proud vale]

I was flattened for 1 day on my first jab

[tawdry valley]

2nd shot seems to always be much less of an issue than the first, though this is based on what over heard from people who had issues with the first one

[sacred stratus]

my 2nd shot caused more problems than the first and now with the 3rd shot on the horizon who knows? maybe a 3rd shot will cause a lot of problems

[signal crag]

for my experience, 2nd dose was actually around the same, if not even slightly less severe (arm pain only started in the evening).

[ocean mulch]

Gotta get another dose of SS trailer

[signal crag]

oh hi Chroma

[ocean mulch]

[proud vale]

Chromato

[cerulean sable]

just turn Silksong into a cash grab P2W F2P 2d hero shooter fighting game

where you guys throw projectiles at chokepoints for 15 minutes trying to charge your ultimates

[tribal merlin]

CampSong

[bitter oar]

i bet that silksong is gonna be full of bugs

[cerulean sable]

add another one to the tally

[tall hinge]

[haughty ingot]

Days since someone made a bugs joke: 0

[grave oxide]

Leth, explain yourself

[haughty ingot]

i’ll explain

we’re taking his words out of context

[signal crag]

Last tweet?

[grave oxide]

Anything Leth says is thoroughly analyzed and cross-examined as if we're in an Ace Attorney game

[haughty ingot]

"finishing silksong right now" ("we are currently working on it")
"(finishing silksong)(right now)" ["we are about to complete development"]

[haughty ingot]

true lol

[signal crag]

So, like with that one kickstarter comment from TC

[magic socket]

hey yall, any chance of news regarding ss at gamescom?

[nimble pebble]

Any chance people will stop asking at every event? ||/s||

[grave oxide]

When is gamescom

[tall hinge]

did he say anything about ss? he just talked about the cs art contest afais

OH the team cherry ganes tweet! i missed that whoops

[haughty ingot]

“crowsworn kickStarter has ended and we hIt aLl of our stretch goals! thanK you all SO much for everyone who pledged, we’ll keep you guys updated oN any new developments and updates on our Game”

[tall hinge]

[signal crag]

Now TC is also dealing with fans lmao
Like developing a big game with a team of only 3 wasn’t hard enough

[cerulean sable]

bro i watched 2 videos of video game essayists so im sure this game shouldve been released 2 years ago

[frank sparrow]

taco clearly knows what he's talking about

2 videos? like woah

[grave oxide]

Eater of SUS

[reef lichen]

does crowsworn have a connetion with silksong

[nimble pebble]

[reef lichen]

ok

[frank sparrow]

why in dear void would it have a connection with silksong

[grave oxide]

No it connects to amogus

[nimble pebble]

It's a different game by a different company what connection would it have

[fiery coral]

Leth, of course

[frank sparrow]

a connection of genre?

[reef lichen]

i heard some peopel talk about it being connected to silksong

[nimble pebble]

Don't you start Unique

[nimble pebble]

Memers, trollers, or gullible people

[reef lichen]

ok

[frank sparrow]

Unique wtf you supposed to agree

[reef lichen]

ngl crowsworn looks sick

[nimble pebble]

How goes the puzzle gaming front Unique

[nimble pebble]

Tis

[frank sparrow]

i once again state because no one seems to listen- guns make games automatically look sick

[mortal grove]

hi

[nimble pebble]

Getting Crowkart soon

[haughty ingot]

yes

[nimble pebble]

[haughty ingot]

they have the keys already

[dreamy zenith]

if silksong is sonic crowsworn is shadow

[fiery coral]

Attempting to speedrun Manifold Garden + progress in Baba is You

[nimble pebble]

[nimble pebble]

I see

Well I'm going to play some ISLANDERS

[fiery coral]

I think it's safe to say I've reached late game BiY, and it is TOUGH

[nimble pebble]

Oh, Rough

[haughty ingot]

BiY?

[fiery coral]

Baba is You

[haughty ingot]

aha

[gusty spoke]

Oh no

[nimble pebble]

The game keeps offering lumber pack when there's no trees

[frank sparrow]

heyo you late my hype already dead

[nimble pebble]

[proud vale]

So much energy they died rip

[nimble pebble]

That's not how energy works

[proud vale]

That's how my phone works, why not an indie developer

[tall hinge]

what did the deleted tweet by team cherry ganes that caused everything say? i missed it

[gusty spoke]

Maybe its the account itself

[frank sparrow]

maybe the people who actually believe its Team Cherry are emailing them about the account thinking its actually them-

[nimble pebble]

[gusty spoke]

But ye i hate the fact leth used "finishing" instead of "still working" in SS since that could mean a lot of things

[pallid flare]

it's so hard, where are you at rn?

[proud vale]

I used to smort enough for baba but now I honestly can't hahaha

[tall hinge]

????

[cerulean sable]

in general

not just one tweet

[fiery coral]

On the overworld map I've completed all worlds except Rocket Trip and Flower Garden, while in the extra world (which I'm informed contains other subworlds), I've completed the ABC bit and some of the extras, but haven't solved any puzzles on the downward branch except for one

there's Depths, which I've only done 3 levels in

[viral pivot]

which game is this?

[cerulean sable]

theyve been usually tweeting stuff like "we havent been making the game, were actually just starting"

[fiery coral]

the one I'm talking about? Baba is You

[pallid flare]

the extra worlds are hard

[cerulean sable]

or "silksong will release if this tweet gets 10000 likes"

[viral pivot]

Ahhhhh

[tall hinge]

#sk-discussion message oh, then whats this about?

[pallid flare]

wait whats happening

[proud vale]

Also the music in some areas was hyper weird for me

[cerulean sable]

a guy who (which is the main crux of Leth's message) unironically thinks TeamCherryGanes is a legit account

[pallid flare]

ohhhh

[cerulean sable]

Leth called out TeamCherryGanes account saying theyre getting and receiving confused users because of their tweets

and adds that TC just wants to put all their energy to finishing Silksong

[nimble pebble]

wym

[pallid flare]

that account is starting to get annoying

[coarse leaf]

Hey

[proud vale]

Yo what, I didn't know Leth actually called out the dumb twitter acc

[pallid flare]

baba is you's music is great

[tall hinge]

https://twitter.com/griffinmatta/status/1427807882490224640?s=20

Matthew Griffin (@griffinmatta)

@TeamCherryGanes Hey, could we ask you stop impersonating Team Cherry? They're starting to have issues with confused and concerned fans, as a result of your Tweets.

They want to put all their energy into finishing Silksong right now.

Twitter · Aug 18, 2021, 1:41 AM

[pallid flare]

that sentence makes no sense

[proud vale]

Most of it is great yeah, the area I got stuck on had really weird music though - but it was probably due to me associating tilt with the music lol

[pallid flare]

||what area?||

[proud vale]

Oh shit how did I not catch this this morning, I full checked twitter

[tall hinge]

its really weird because it doesnt show up on his tweet page but it does on tweets and replies? im not sure how that works

[pallid flare]

wait did he actually say "finish silksong"

[proud vale]

Also 'finishing' silksong is kind of pogchamp

[tall hinge]

yes

[pallid flare]

if that's not another misunderstanding then thats quite cool

[proud vale]

||The forest area I think|| for what baba area

[fiery coral]

||Deep Forest?||

or ||Forest of Fall||?

[pallid flare]

||yeah there's two forests||

[proud vale]

second one, I looked up the music just then and yeah still weird for me

[fiery coral]

two of them have same-ish theming, it's weird

[pallid flare]

||deep forest|| got the harder levels

[proud vale]

||I listened to deep forest, sounds funky in comparison||

[nimble pebble]

Unique tell Islanders to stop giving me lumber pack when I have no trees

[fiery coral]

I like how how all of them have distinct aesthetics (well, as distinct as they can be), and then there's just ||two forests||

[fiery coral]

[Islanders] 🔫

[pallid flare]

||did you complete the ending level?||

[cerulean sable]

i mean what else have they been doing that they havent already said yet

[proud vale]

Not sure who that's directed to, but I didn't finish the game, kind of lost interest but also small brain

[cerulean sable]

its not like theyve decided to buy yachts and and fucked off with the money

[pallid flare]

they're definitely still working on silksong

[proud vale]

The use of the term 'finishing' though... unsure how much thought was put into that. If there was some real thought put into it then we can probably pog quite hard

[tall hinge]

if you gave up on it and dont intend to try to continue i recommend watching a playthrough from where you left off because it gets really good

[nimble pebble]

Yoooo Yacht club games collab with Team Cherry

[proud vale]

Hmm fair enough, I'll have plenty of time soon so I can get back into it prolly

[pallid flare]

it does get really cool

[proud vale]

They're looking for inspiration for zoteboat

[tall hinge]

i hate you

[hushed adder]

https://youtu.be/NAJE_MzU8xg I felt a certain charge

[nimble pebble]

Amazing, truly inspiring

[proud vale]

Hmm this looks difficult

[hushed adder]

Yes

[hushed adder]

and will have to continue doing this until 1046

[frail summit]

is silksong out yet

[fleet temple]

up to you

[nimble pebble]

[mortal grove]

i got the acc recommended and i was in shock cause it was a notification at the top

[proud vale]

Do you have silksong hostage?

[mortal grove]

and it only says teamcherryg.... so i had a heart attack for 5 seconds

[coarse leaf]

give it like a half hour and if it isn’t out by then give it another half hour and keep doing that

[fleet temple]

good thing leth stepped in before it got out of hand

[proud vale]

Yeah it definitely got me the first time

[pallid flare]

i dont think that guy is stopping any time soon

[mortal grove]

he'll stop

[fleet temple]

it's no longer "a harmless joke"

[proud vale]

Cease and desist speed run?

[fleet temple]

dream music intensifies

[mortal grove]

dododododoooo

[proud vale]

Yeahhh I really do hope the account stops misinforming ppl

[mortal grove]

instead of pretending to be team cherry pretend to be hornet instead

[nimble pebble]

Cease and remove your account or court lawsuit

[proud vale]

The phantom dopamine is real

Also it's strange that it's affected the devs, I thought that would just be something Leth deals with

(which he has, seemingly)

[mortal grove]

maybe team cherry is so busy with silksong they forgot about their website

[proud vale]

They just have their heads down

[tall hinge]

i think they just have a list of priorities and updating their website is not at the top

(as in making a blog)

[proud vale]

Yeah they have a certain relationship with communication and if it works for them then it works for them

[nimble pebble]

That's what Leth was telling me when were talking about it a week ago

[north raven]

mornin kids

i give you this cool silksong image

[proud vale]

Yes pls

[nimble pebble]

[proud vale]

Love it

[north raven]

its my background

[proud vale]

I cant wait to update my wallpapers with silksong

[north raven]

wat

[proud vale]

Yeah it's Leth's twitter

[frank sparrow]

because you saw a notification and assumed it was actually Team Cherry or...?

[north raven]

idk

im playing video games

I WANT SILKSONG

[frank sparrow]

i mean i did that but when it was created i was like "WOAH TC SAID SOMETHING" and they were like "NO SILKSONG FOR YOU" and i was like "oh this fake-"

[north raven]

NOTHING CAN FILL THIS HOLE IN MY HEART

[frank sparrow]

the hole of bugs?

[north raven]

THE HOLE OF SHERMA

SHERMA

[frank sparrow]

why Sherma gonna stab me with a knife?

[pallid flare]

sherma sucks

[north raven]

its a joke

[proud vale]

Sherma is hype

[north raven]

you wanna throw hands

shema = god CONFIRMED

[pallid flare]

yes

[frank sparrow]

i dont know how to respond ngl

[north raven]

sherma getover here

[mortal grove]

[north raven]

[pallid flare]

they do have weird ruffle indeed

[frank sparrow]

what in the hecc-

[bleak scarab]

ghost of pharloom

[north raven]

[bleak scarab]

Does that mean Hornet is seeing things?

[north raven]

no she physiCALly interacts with them

*physically

[sacred stratus]

why did the chicken cross the road?

[mortal grove]

you know i still dont know if the black part is her head or not

[bleak scarab]

Wai

[tall hinge]

welcome to twitter

"low effort and worthless"

[sacred stratus]

HK fans when a characters has 2 black pixels: "IDK man IDK... seems kinda void to me"

[bleak scarab]

imagine if that's just some weird armour

[mortal grove]

i dont think thats how a why did the chicken cross the road joke goes

[mortal grove]

[bleak scarab]

Black substance used in the making of the vessels

[frank sparrow]

hornet is void because clearly a screen transition happens when she dies

[mortal grove]

not a void debate, but do you guys think void is hallownest exclusive? (ik i asked this already)

[bleak scarab]

is void screen transitions

[frank sparrow]

and black is void obviously

[north raven]

stop

[mortal grove]

stop what

[frank sparrow]

what we doing

[modest night]

please tell me people didn't freak out over leth's use of finish

[mortal grove]

Well

[modest night]

[frank sparrow]

i would say no but that would be lying

[proud vale]

Yeahhhh

[sacred stratus]

HK fans when a finnish person enters the server: "is SS out???"

[modest night]

ofc they're working on finishing it, they've been working on doing that the second they started because that's the point of a project

[sacred stratus]

there was no finale I just wanted to see everyone's reaction

[proud vale]

But 'finishing' is different from 'developing'

[frank sparrow]

'finishing' is different from 'still working on it' ||/s||

[bleak scarab]

Dissapointment

[sacred stratus]

good

[modest night]

i still don't think it's something to be excited about since it won't be finished this year most likely

[frank sparrow]

that i agree with im still early 2022 gang until its over then ill be early 2023 gang

[mortal grove]

im just wondering if this counts as news or no

[proud vale]

Yeah early 2022 is the way to go

[mortal grove]

cause i mean it kind of says theyre working on the game still but at the same time not really

[frank sparrow]

i mean- i guess you can count it as news

[north raven]

silk song

[proud vale]

:NewsPog:

[nimble pebble]

Sounds like you're just far off date gang if we reach 2023 next you'll say 2026

[magic narwhal]

How is a Dev saying they’re working on a previously announced project news...?

[mortal grove]

assets of the core of the lord?

[magic narwhal]

Kinda obvious they would still be working on it lol

[vital path]

relax guys it wont be more then 30 years

[bleak scarab]

Why

[marsh ibex]

Because “silksong is a myth” “they haven’t been giving us news every week”

[nimble pebble]

[sacred stratus]

don't worry guys the finale will come soon

[mortal grove]

hmm that is true

[sacred stratus]

I'm working hard on finishing it

[pallid flare]

uhhhh

[nimble pebble]

I'll hold you to that

I'm still Q1-Q3 2022 gang for now

perhaps Q1 2023 if i'm going to lowball

[mortal grove]

:crow:

[nimble pebble]

[mortal grove]

[nimble pebble]

[mortal grove]

[still elm]

has anyone got their grubby mitts on APWOT yet

[mortal grove]

no

[sacred stratus]

why?

there is no reason for me to grab one bcs there are no SS news in it

[mortal grove]

its their first magazine show some love

also team cherry interview is nice

[nimble pebble]

We get to read about how Ari rationed hi Croissants

[frank sparrow]

wow Frosty-

and how he is worried that we're gonna hold his croissants hostage

[mortal grove]

you know lace looks like a croissant

[nimble pebble]

[north raven]

exactly 49 months since the kickstarter was posted, 48 months; 2 weeks and 3 days since the game dropped, 29 months and 31 extra days since silksong was announced, man i feel old

[nimble pebble]

[proud vale]

We didn't reach colosseum of fools on the kickstarter.. F

[mortal grove]

we got it anyways cause tc are chads

[nimble pebble]

They reached it through paypal donos

[proud vale]

Here's a thought. Do you guys think they're in the process of porting the game to the switch at the moment? or have they been simulataneously porting the whole time?

[nimble pebble]

It's not a port if it's a launch title

[nimble pebble]

The latter most likely

It's a switch launch title of course it's going to be worked on at the same time

[proud vale]

Well I've heard before that it could be easier to just make the whole thing on PC and then port it at the end

[low bison]

if they have been doing simultaneous porting then the while it took to be actually announced makes sense

[nimble pebble]

well, there is some logic in that because everything would be done then all they'd have to do is rewire controls which doesn't take a short amount of time but yeah

[proud vale]

Yeah. I think they got an outside company to do all the switch porting for hk

[signal crag]

I suppose the same will happen for Silksong as well

[vital path]

whats the name of the kingdom of ss

[signal crag]

Pharloom

[vital path]

i forgor

[mortal grove]

💀

[signal crag]

Lmao

Should have guessed that

[vital path]

yeah its kind of my thing

[sullen trail]

I think that's being a bit naive lol

when you start something, you're not finishing it

[coarse leaf]

I had a dream where Silksong released at 1 am

[sullen trail]

you're working on it

[coarse leaf]

And it was like really exhilarating to use the air dash moves

But the layout was different and for some reason there was multiplayer

[vital path]

do you thing silksong will be better then hollow knight itself

[mortal grove]

yea

[vital path]

i think they will be diferent in gameplay sense

[sullen trail]

It'll be a bigger and more ambitious game, doesn't mean it'll be better but I trust Team Cherry to want to surpass themselves

[cursive jetty]

Didn't Graig say that Silksong makes Hollow knight seem unpolished by comparison, or am I remembering wrong??

[brazen osprey]

imagine if TC gets to do a talk in one of those those conventions run by Google or something and they talk about the impatient silksong fans

[sullen trail]

While HK is a great game, there are a few flaws with it that I think Team Cherry will want to address in the sequel

[signal crag]

While i undestand your point of view, both the fact of having a MUCH bigger budget AND essentially unlimited time to work on it, pretty much gives a pretty high chance for SS to be better than HK

[brazen osprey]

that be kinda fun

[vital path]

i just want to shot webs with hornet

is that to much to ask

[sullen trail]

I don't think they would do something like this honestly, they'd just say something along the lines of fans being excited throughout the development period, even with the lack of updates.

[signal crag]

....yeah, i agree they shouldn’t do that thing

[brazen osprey]

maybe "we kinda had to block ourself out of stuff because their demands were overwhelming and we needed to focus on our project"

[vital path]

impatient fans are in every comunity being gta mario or even amogus 😳

[brazen osprey]

and "when you are indie, constant updates will do more harm than help, even with rabid fans wanting news everyday"

[vital path]

jokes aside ive seen people asking for amongus 2

[sullen trail]

I think it's a bit normal that people are excited and wanting to know more (and from what I've gathered, people would just like to know how development is trucking on), there's a middle ground between 'constant updates' and 'close to zero updates', it's not just 0 or 100.

[vital path]

yeah i think team cherry are a little to quiet

tho it might spoil the game

[signal crag]

Just don’t look for the new info on the game then

[proud vale]

There's a pokemon stream on right now btw

[nimble pebble]

We've already been told "we're still working on the game" in terms of how development is trucking on and it's not really possible for them to gauge what stage they're at but in reality most people just mask their want for news as wanting a release date

[tall hinge]

true

[sullen trail]

When was this last said by a TC member?

[vital path]

its not a problem for me but i dont think team cherry would do that

[signal crag]

It think they know what they can reveal that it’s not not a major spoiler

[pallid flare]

wasnt this said literally today

[nimble pebble]

idk probably a few months ago we got several forms of affirmation from the admins Leth and Graig over it so it's pretty credible

[pallid flare]

or was that a fake tweet

[mortal grove]

itrs a real tweet

[tall hinge]

real tweet

[signal crag]

Real, yeah

[sullen trail]

right, I think the 'problem' stems from the average fan not being in a Discord server, I believe people are talking about a more public way of saying things, like the Team Cherry twitter account

[pallid flare]

that tweet is quite public

[sullen trail]

well we can compare how public it is if you want, Matt's account has 11.4k followers (and it's a tweet talking about another account), TC's twitter account has 168k, see my point?

the average fan is following TC's twitter account, not Matt's

[signal crag]

You mean, stuff like leth confirming silksong not being in a nintendo direct only here in discord?

[sullen trail]

not really, that doesn't need any confirmation

that's something that makes sense being here

[tall hinge]

i agree with blizz here, i think tc could be more vocal on their twitter account, but its not that big of a deal

[sullen trail]

and as you saw, they did publicly said that Silksong wouldn't be at E3, which makes sense seeing as it's a pretty big even, this was a good move

[sullen trail]

yeah that's basically my point, not a big deal, but they could be a bit more vocal publicly 🤷‍♂️

[nimble pebble]

Do you really care about it if you don't even bother to dig for info then complain there is none?

[sullen trail]

you're missing my point

[pallid flare]

there's some merit to everyone here

[sullen trail]

it's not about me (someone who is on a HK discord)

[pallid flare]

tc should be a bit more vocal on twitter, but they are everywhere else (namely discord)

[mortal grove]

graig is the only one i see regularly

i havent seen ari talk here at all and wilbo only during The Neutral Face Incident

[tall hinge]

the average fan shouldnt have to dig for updates on the game going smooth in development, imo

[pallid flare]

its kind of given that its going smoothly

you forget that graig is never really 100% serious

there's no indication for it not going smoothly

[burnt topaz]

The only thing id imagine people getting concerned about was covid

[nimble pebble]

That's incorrect Graig isn't all funnies and trolls not to mention he's no the only source

[tall hinge]

yes but for a fan who just played hk and is interested in ss, theres no indication of it going smoothly or not going smoothly, and in this era most game companies update through twitter or their websites. for us its obvious that its going smoothly because weve been told directly

[marsh ibex]

???

[nimble pebble]

Oh wait you were agreeing ignore that

[marsh ibex]

No, not really

like the base assumption for game development is that the game is being worked on

[nimble pebble]

^

[tall hinge]

yeah of course

[pallid flare]

didnt they also state in a blogpost that covid didnt impact them that much?

[nimble pebble]

Yes, several times here too

[sullen trail]

that was stated in a Discord message first I believe

[tall hinge]

does it matter what came first?

[pallid flare]

dont think that it was in a discord message

[marsh ibex]

what difference does a tweet even make? Confirmation for something already assumed? Idk, maybe that’s just a me thing

[burnt topaz]

Either way it pushes the point that development should be assumed to go smoothly unless stated otherwise

[tall hinge]

its definitely not a you thing, its a me thing

[sullen trail]

why is it assumed? plenty of games go silent and then it's announced they've been shelved, it's not always smooth development, I don't see what's unreasonable about people wanting to know how it's going

[nimble pebble]

Nah I agree

[pallid flare]

those games usually have some known trouble

like a director leaving and stuff

[sullen trail]

you'd be surprised about what goes behind the scenes, there are plenty of issues that aren't announced to the public

[pallid flare]

don't forget that team cherry will announce publically if something is wrong

[vital path]

team cherry is a very small team tho

[pallid flare]

indeed

[vital path]

so its probaly going to take some time

[pallid flare]

yea

[nimble pebble]

Yes plenty of games go silent and then it's announced that's how Game development works, you act like this is a new concept. Usually it goes "Work on game a bit, Announce game, work on the game a lot more, release launch trailer in about 6-18 months, launch game"

[nimble pebble]

Yeah, you know I'm happy that Leth and the others tell us not only how things are going with the game but also that they're good and healthy means a lot to me but idk to others

[marsh ibex]

They tell us when they deem it important.
They’ve already said more updates would simply consist of “we’re still working on the game” and nothing more

that’s really it

[tribal merlin]

you'd think a carpenter will do woodwork. he doesn't need to tweet "I'm doing woodwork today and it's going well"

the base assumption is that a professional will work in their profession

[nimble pebble]

^

[sullen trail]

software development =/= manual labor ??

[tribal merlin]

doesn't matter what profession it is

[pallid flare]

yeah i agree with that, you can't compare them

[sullen trail]

it does actually

[tribal merlin]

it actually doesn't

[sullen trail]

professions aren't all the same lol

[tribal merlin]

nobody said that

you can willingly ignore my point and try to twist my words, doesn't change anything about my point

[sullen trail]

yeah don't think it's worth arguing with you with that take

[pallid flare]

most companies that make software still dont have the need to publish updates

[tribal merlin]

well if all you got from my point was that I'm saying "professions are all the same" then yeah I agree no point in arguing

[marsh ibex]

cheesoid’s point is not that the professions are equivalent

[nimble pebble]

Cheesoid's point is that a professional no matter the profession doesn't constantly need to update people on how their work goes

[burnt topaz]

The point is that the expectations should be that they are working, not that they arent or in a midst of a dev crisis

[nimble pebble]

[brazen osprey]

Axiom Verge 2 did fine with only 2 trailers, the later released on its release day

I think quality is over quanity here

[wispy flame]

yes yes indeed

[nimble pebble]

Glad we all agree

Now to wait for someone to come in and go "Me no care me want news NOW"

[mortal grove]

me care me not need news now

[pallid flare]

silksong pls

[nimble pebble]

Me agree

Me not need news right now me play other games until it out

[mortal grove]

ngl i want news but im not gonna shrivel up and die if i dont get news

[signal crag]

in general we should start with the expectation that, just because someone doesn't communicate often, doesn't mean they are not doing their work
unless there are other factors that would make you think a lack of communication is indeed a bad sign
TC are more than capable developers

[nimble pebble]

Same tbh

[nimble pebble]

Agreed, I feel some people haven't heard of no news is good news

[signal crag]

does that count as news tho?

[nimble pebble]

[signal crag]

in any case, we should get that APWoT interview sometime soon
so that's something from them at least

[vital path]

what apwot

[fathom peak]

[marsh ibex]

[nimble pebble]

[vital path]

actualy

you dont need to

[bronze plinth]

TC should get verified on twitter

[haughty ingot]

TCgames or TCganes

[vital path]

yeah they created one of the best metroidvanias and they still arent verified

[marsh ibex]

what do you even need to do to be verified on twitter

[vital path]

i think they dont want to

[haughty ingot]

so that they won’t be impersonated

[green kraken]

griffen hoping hes a good person that will listen

[vital path]

im pretty sure they have to ask team cherry if they want to get verified

[green kraken]

what will he do? LUL

[marsh ibex]

https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/about-twitter-verified-accounts

[marsh ibex]

Did you not read what I said kekw

[signal crag]

lol

[marsh ibex]

I said “what do you even need to do to be twitter verified”

[signal crag]

the requirements

[green kraken]

just @Twitter I WANNA BE VERIFIED

[vital path]

it depends on who you are not how many followers you have

[bronze plinth]

your account must be authentic, notable, and active. ⚰️

[green kraken]

team cherry did it to themselves

[vital path]

my dad is verified bc he is the president of the united states

so realy depends on who you are

[green kraken]

tell joe biden to go back

We're not to get political here so move on

[mortal grove]

so

[green kraken]

🤔

[mortal grove]

so the

[green kraken]

apwot 2 i heard was coming this week from twitter

[nimble pebble]

Cool

[green kraken]

Yeah it is cool

[coarse leaf]

yes, there are countless cases of developers not communicating and getting the job done, and in this example team cherry themselves talk about having crunch months and such

[pallid flare]

ttaco's status is really mean

[signal crag]

where did they even mentioned that they did crunch months?
i also heard that, i'm just not sure where

[pallid flare]

they mentioned "cherry time" whatever that means

[green kraken]

you guys say they should take as much time as they need and then that they crunch?

[pallid flare]

don't ask us mate

[signal crag]

they can take as much time as they need
but that doesn't mean they want the dev time to last 8 years, either

[pallid flare]

it was near christmas so I assume that they crunched so they get some stuff done and be done for the year

[dusty nimbus]

Unless you are a reporter

[bronze plinth]

They said is out or am i missing something?

[green kraken]

oh i didnt check just now

[nimble pebble]

Epic

[dusty nimbus]

Finally they gave hungery knight the respect it deserved

[nimble pebble]

There's more, they multiplied

[sacred stratus]

wdym?

[bleak scarab]

wdym it deserves more

[signal crag]

physical copies only?

[nimble pebble]

It's plural

[sacred stratus]

I have no idea what that means

English is hard

[bronze plinth]

Hungry Knight = 1 knight
Hungry Knights = multiple aka plural

[nimble pebble]

Pluralisation exists in other languages too

[nimble pebble]

Thank you Picnic

[pallid flare]

20€ is a bit much

[signal crag]

yeah, gonna pass this one this time

[nimble pebble]

I thought it was $20 USD in which case it'd be cheaper for you

[olive lynx]

All I want is Team Cherry saying: We are good 👍

[sacred stratus]

you know that I speak a different language right? so I didn't know what the word plural means

[pallid flare]

extra 4€ just for the postage

[nimble pebble]

They have

[pallid flare]

I can buy like 4 copies of hollow knight if it's on sale with that money
