[haughty ingot]

late 2019 for sure this time

[analog forge]

I mean weve already seen bunches of dead bugs

[shell yacht]

yo Okabe, you on the wrong wordline my guy

[haughty ingot]

time is perspective

[proud vale]

Good guess Powdered

Also I will die on the Q1 2022 gang HILL

[shell yacht]

3q 2099 gang rise up

4th?

idk

[chilly nexus]

I'm in Q2 of 2023

[analog forge]

it is currently q4 :)

[proud vale]

It’s either Q1 2022 or Q1 2023 for sureeeee

And unless they’ve run into MAJOR problems I don’t think it would go any past 2023

[serene chasm]

I don't believe in time anymore

[fleet temple]

That's what everyone says

[tawdry valley]

Look; we are approaching the 3 years mark and it would be unusual to move into a 4th year of development. But still:

[chilly nexus]

an hour passed without news of SS, I've moved from Q3 2023 to Q1 2025

[tawdry valley]

This stuff also happens to have been said in 2019; not just 2020

[chilly nexus]

10 more seconds have passed, and I'm now in Q1 of 2026 ||scratch that, 5 more seconds past, Q2||

#sk-discussion

[cerulean sable]

honestly 2022 take it or leave it

most pessimistic i could do is late 2022-mid 2023

my copium side is telling me them not updating us mid 2021 is more of a moment of "Were already at this point of the game where we can safely release in the next 6+ months, lets just fucking finish it"

sup Vis

havent seen you in the server since you stopped the comics

[chilly nexus]

this pretty much

i wonder if for fearless fox they're gonna announce it alongside a release date

or if they see this chat and go: "we like this, let's do it again" :p

[fleet temple]

yeah, basically just they don't really feel like they need to update us

[hollow sedge]

no point in doing an update if they are almost finished with the game

honestly it doesnt even seem like copium, seems more likely then not

[chilly nexus]

Time to create and hop on the train for hoping for no SS news because it implies the game is close to completion with a relatively-decent likelihood

[tribal merlin]

no, TC said nearing release there would be more news

or, well, they hope there would be more news

[hollow sedge]

they did? oh no

[main relic]

Lol do you remember at E3 Treehouse 2019 the presenter said Silksong was almost done? :'D

[rugged solstice]

It could be done if Team Cherry wants it to be. But they wanna keep adding stuff is what I heard

[tribal merlin]

the "adding stuff" comes from people who don't have knowledge about software development, they lack the imagination to think about anything else that's part of the process

[cerulean sable]

game dev easy bro

just add stuff

and it magically builds up

[tribal merlin]

just write it so that it works out of the gate

[lament lotus]

just spam keyboard

[cerulean sable]

and if it bugs out then youre just a lazy dev shigermu momto once said delay good game rush bad game pls upvote on reddit

[coarse leaf]

trying to 3d model lace

[cerulean sable]

woah

[rapid topaz]

Add one or two functions and you're done, smh lazy devs /s

[lament lotus]

[cerulean sable]

bruh just add AddComponent<RemoveAllBugs>().SetActive(true) its that easy

[frozen bloom]

Honesty question

If SilkSong releases and you dont have money to buy it.
Will you pirate it?

[coarse leaf]

no

[rapid topaz]

I don't think so

Also I doubt SS is expansive (compared to the average price, in general)

[frozen bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/dinero-plata-cash-money-rich-gif-19790979

Team cherry if they charged a lot for ss

[coarse leaf]

pirating an indie game too is just plain wrong (pirating in general anyway)

[frozen bloom]

Unless its EA

[coarse leaf]

fair i guess

[rugged solstice]

I'd spend $60 for Silksong

[frozen bloom]

It will be worth it

[rapid topaz]

Pirating something you want to support is weird though

[frozen bloom]

Pirate, then pay

Question
Can you access the workshop and the mods section in steam if you pirated that game?

[rugged solstice]

adofai is only like 4 bucks how could you 🤔

[rapid topaz]

Is this A dance of fire and Ice (adofai)

[fallow rock]

lace in** 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

[coarse leaf]

yes!

[shut tree]

where money

[coarse leaf]

?

[upper sigil]

i kinda understand pirating a game to try it out to see if its good

for ppl that dont wanna waste money on a game they wont like

[lament drum]

steam refunds are pretty lenient though

[summer kindle]

i don't

[harsh pendant]

Not really. Its a hard 2 hours of gameplay if I remember. That is def not enough for sone games.

[lament lotus]

refunds?

[summer kindle]

watching a bit of a playthrough works just as well imo
unless the controls are really clunky or something and you only find out when you buy the game

[upper sigil]

wouldnt you be mad to buy a game you dont like at all

[lament lotus]

refund

[summer kindle]

read what i said

[summer kindle]

you don't just buy games blindly because the art for the title screen looked cool

if you do that's your problem

[upper sigil]

something just watching gameplay dont gives an idea

it happened to me in the past with some games

gameplay looked good and fun but i still ended up disliking the game

[lament drum]

it is, but that should be enough for most games, maybe not for a select few but people usually dont pirate games with the honest intent of paying later for them

[summer kindle]

fair enough

[upper sigil]

vailhem for example

or wathever that viking survival game name is

[summer kindle]

although! i know someone who did that

they really did buy the game later

[harsh pendant]

But that’s not what we are discussing. Pirating to check the game already implies you are prepared to buy it. It’s like a free trial.

[lament drum]

im implying that checking the quality of a game is often used as an excuse for people who simply dont want to pay

[summer kindle]

the thing with checking if the game is good is if you don't like it you still got to play it for free

[lament drum]

hence usually, there may be those who are honest about pirating to check quality but most people who pirate dont do so for legitimate reasons other than to get out of paying for games

[summer kindle]

yea i know

[harsh pendant]

Maybe in conversation. But why the hell would they need an excuse? It’s not like they lose the ability to pirate without it.

And it’s not like they need to prove their intent to someone to be allowed to pirate.

[lament drum]

in conversation is what i mean, people wont want to admit to pirating for such reasons so theyll often try to look better to others by claiming its just for testing purposes

and like i said the 2 hour refund limit is usually fine, so why pirate?

[upper sigil]

isnt enough for some ppl

[pallid flare]

not every vendor provides refunds

or has requirements this lax

[harsh pendant]

We aren’t talking about those. People who use it as an excuse would pirate anyway. We are talking about people who legit pirate to check games out. And whether it’s a bad practice.

[upper sigil]

some ppl technicly just straight up cant buy the game

because of parents

[lament drum]

i dont think its a terrible practice, but i also dont think most people who claim to do so are honest about their reasoning

[cerulean sable]

advocate for Demos in game

[lament drum]

absolutely

[cerulean sable]

nothing is more annoying than spending 40gbs worth of download only to see that the game is unoptimized as shit

atm i just jump the shark and just try to go under the refund hour but at times i sometimes FEEL like i wanna pirate just to test the waters for a day before buying it, but never push through due to the amount of effort

[harsh pendant]

Judging people’s honesty is a different conversation:) So I suppose we agree that pirating to check is fine.

[lament drum]

thats fair, in that case yes the act itself is fine

[cerulean sable]

just dont be like that guy we had in the modding help way back then

kept asking for help for the mod api to work

[upper sigil]

do you guys think its fine to pirate if you cant buy the game at all

[cerulean sable]

people tried to help him but eventually noticed if he had the game on steam

[upper sigil]

for example parents dont wanna let you buy the game

[cerulean sable]

apparently he didnt, and people said to buy the game first then come back, said he doesnt want to atm, because he wants to use the money to buy gunplas (basically figurines of gundam robots), then kept egging to help

[harsh pendant]

Yes. It’s a bit of a grey area, but I usually just pledge to myself to buy the game when I have better situation.

[cerulean sable]

people kept telling him then dont bother them for help, eventually he figured it out on his own and said something like "NVM got it working"

got banned a few months later for another similar reason

[lament drum]

deserved lol

[opaque sigil]

I mean if you're gonna pirate the game the least you could do is not then whine about having pirated the game

[cerulean sable]

like bro, if you live in a 3rd world country whos access to video games is 5 times the price then yeah i guess i cant blame you, but come on

"i cant buy it, i need the money for my figurines instead, now can you please help me?"

buzz off

[harsh pendant]

Sooooo, any silksong news?

[lament drum]

nope

[opaque sigil]

Not for the past several months

[harsh pendant]

Sigh

I’ll go back to crying then

[surreal mortar]

Silksong?

[coarse leaf]

Whats that

[harsh pendant]

An everdistant utopia

[marsh ibex]

If you were crying over silksong, you probably should stop hyper-fixating on it so much

[coarse leaf]

I anti-pirated hollow knight by buying more copies than one 😎😎😎

[marsh ibex]

hey graig

[iron spear]

TC get heaps of emails from people saying they pirated the game but cos it was so good they bought it after lol

Basically pirating only hurts you if your product is shit

[coarse leaf]

LMFAO, I did that with dont starve

[harsh pendant]

No. Silksong is life.

[iron spear]

That's why the music and movie industry hate it lmao

[harsh pendant]

Or just very expensive

[marsh ibex]

or if the product isn’t sold any more

[harsh pendant]

I don’t care how good the game is, I ain’t paying 60€

Either wait for a sale, or pirate

[coarse leaf]

I would pay 100 aud for silksong

[harsh pendant]

Mmmmm. I simply can’t afford it lol:)

[coarse leaf]

Dont tell them tho pls graig 😳

[harsh pendant]

I feel there is some point when the excuse “there is nothing to update, they are just working on silksong” doesn’t seem convincing anymore. I really would like something to know about it.

Apart from stupid Nintendo leaks

[coarse leaf]

Patience bro, spoils r no fun

Going into silksong with no knowledge is more fun

[harsh pendant]

Errr

“We have finished a good chunk of the game” is more what I’m looking for

Not specifics

Some days I doubt Team Cherry exists anymore

[coarse leaf]

I told u i seen ari at coles once hes real 😳

[harsh pendant]

Unless you hallucinated due to immense desire for silksong.

[coarse leaf]

XDDDDD

Perhaps

[fleet temple]

If you have that mindset I tgink it's best for you to just try and forget avout silksong for now

[harsh pendant]

?

[fleet temple]

Well I mean, you seem like you can't deal with the wait anymore so it's best to distract yourself with something else for now

[harsh pendant]

…

It says something when we have similar advice to anxiety as for silksong wait.

[fleet temple]

Lol

[coarse leaf]

What

[harsh pendant]

Although, I do wonder how many years of silence have to pass that people would abandon hope?

[coarse leaf]

Dennis how about u spend ur time doing p5 hitless bro

[marsh ibex]

that’s not really a statement of anything. It just says they’ve completed more of the game, which is already the base assumption

[coarse leaf]

Sharp shadow only

[harsh pendant]

Key word is assumption

Assumptions need to be confirmed or disproven

[coarse leaf]

More wait = better game bro

[marsh ibex]

[harsh pendant]

What if I already did?

[marsh ibex]

they literally say they are working on the game

if you work on something, more stuff gets done

[coarse leaf]

Do it sharp shadow only

[harsh pendant]

Show me?

[ionic schooner]

TC is reminding me of Steam TF2's team rn but then again both teams are like 3 people

[opaque sigil]

I mean by default unless they just aren't working on the game (which has been stated to be false many times) then the assumption would be that they're making progress

[marsh ibex]

[coarse leaf]

[opaque sigil]

There ya go

[harsh pendant]

Yay

[nimble radish]

graig is lying

[heady iron]

TC is wasting 2 days per week not working on MY game???

[harsh pendant]

Now watch me shift my expectations and ask for a demo:)

[opaque sigil]

But the whole "unless they show that they're working they aren't working" mindset is nonsensical

[marsh ibex]

asking for a demo takes time out of making the finished product

[harsh pendant]

No, actually I’d take “tell they are working”

[marsh ibex]

if they were gonna give a demo, they would’ve given the e3 one

[harsh pendant]

Which you provided

[fleet temple]

Whenever someone says "I just want them to say that they're alive" my answer is always "Do you think they've stopped working?"

[opaque sigil]

Fine. the whole "unless they tell they are working they aren't working" mindset is nonsensical

They can work without constantly having to tell their audience that they are doing so

[fleet temple]

Which leth has already stated probably won't happen

[opaque sigil]

If SS gets cancelled they'll announce it

Which at this point it won't

[harsh pendant]

Depends on how it gets cancelled lol

[opaque sigil]

If all of TC dies in a horrible freak accident it'll be safe to assume it's cancelled

[fleet temple]

?

[harsh pendant]

There are numerous life circumstances where public announcements are the least of your concerns.

[fleet temple]

Yeah but they'd still announce it like maybe a month later

[harsh pendant]

But you know, less dramatically, a hiatus is not something that is announced necessarily.

[opaque sigil]

But delving into crazy hypotheticals isn't the best way to defend your stance

[fleet temple]

Do you have that little trust in team cherry?

[pallid flare]

wow who's that

[marsh ibex]

Me

[pallid flare]

oh

[opaque sigil]

And if they do take a break from development for some reason (they are human beings with families and lives) then they don't need to announce it

[harsh pendant]

Hmmmm. Yes and no? They have trust credit obviously from Hollow Knight. But do you remember Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk? One is amazing, the other is a disappointment.

[fleet temple]

Jack vine

[opaque sigil]

The reasons cyberpunk flopped don't apply to TC, that isn't a reasonable equivocation

[marsh ibex]

Cyberpunk was bad because of upper management meddling

TC is the upper management

[fleet temple]

It's never good to compare two different things that have one small similarity

[harsh pendant]

I’m not sure equivocation is the right word here. I didn’t equivocate.

[opaque sigil]

Equivalence, mb

[nimble radish]

echolocation

[opaque sigil]

It was false equivalence

Either way it doesn't make sense to assert possible parallels

[signal crag]

they are way too different to make a fair comparison

[harsh pendant]

It wasn’t though. Not in the sense I meant it. Yes, specific reasons might be different. But it is a precedent for people’s trust being broken, regardless of hype and reputation. What I’m saying is that asking me whether I trust team cherry is irrelevant. I’d like some proofs regardless of trust.

[coarse leaf]

Why 💀 they dont owe u anything

[opaque sigil]

That's the path of insanity

And even saying that they're working on it isn't proof

[pallid flare]

the only things that they promised were that they were working on it and that it was coming

[opaque sigil]

TC has no obligation nor reason to accommodate the audience in this regard, it's incoherent

[fleet temple]

And let's be honest, even if they did say something like that, you'd still say that they need to give us more

[opaque sigil]

The only way to prove progress beyond doubt is by releasing dev builds constantly

[harsh pendant]

General bitching to feel alive

[opaque sigil]

Footage and screenshots could always be fabricated, after all.

[harsh pendant]

They could. But you kinda have to ask for motive then. Just saying something can be done, doesn’t mean it is.

[cerulean sable]

someone did see Ari in the streets just a month ago

[fleet temple]

The only reason people ask for news is because there's a small tiny unlikely chance that it will be the release date

[harsh pendant]

You can obviously find specific reasons for Cyberpunk flopping. But only retroactively. Before it came out everyone said same things as here, no?

[opaque sigil]

And the fact that there exists some possibility of TC not currently being working on SS does not mean it merits regard

[cerulean sable]

and pretty much said "were still working on it, game scope has been larger so its taking longer, covid didnt affect us at. all. because were so small restrictions didnt even apply to us"

[opaque sigil]

Yes, TC could have been struck by lightning at the same time an hour ago and we probably wouldn't know but does that really mean they need to assure us constantly that that (or something similar) did not happen

[marsh ibex]

I mean I don’t really care about proof or whatever. You can want that, sure.

But like, the only “proof” they could give are basic statements. Which can change as goal posts move, or delays happen, or they could outright lie.

[marsh ibex]

which we technically already knew

[fleet temple]

Look, If you're that concerned, just send them an email venting about it, I'm sure they loooove to hear your complaints

[marsh ibex]

V-

v e n t i n g?

[opaque sigil]

There is always going to be some doubt, that's just unavoidable

Unless you're sitting there in the TC office watching them work you're just gonna have to trust them a bit

[fleet temple]

Really, the only "proof" people want us just the game releasing

[marsh ibex]

:tuksus:

[fleet temple]

Or just find something else to do

[cerulean sable]

"Honestly they just need to release one image and the community will be satisfied for months"

Me, watching as Edge reveal a fuckton of shit, immediately turns back to release date talk after 4 days:

[shell yacht]

you dont really have an option. youre entitled to no news.sit and wait, or go touch grass

[marsh ibex]

silence nerd

go back to your nerd basement

[shell yacht]

no weeb

[opaque sigil]

People: Why won't TC release a blogpost
Edge: literally has more information than all the bloposts combined
People: So where's the blogpost????

[fleet temple]

I hollow knight fans in a nutshell

[marsh ibex]

Says the dude with the earth chan pfp

[coarse leaf]

maybe the real silksong was the friends we made along the way

[opaque sigil]

Come on, we all know it didn't take 4 days

It started popping back up pretty much immediately. idt it really stopped, just got drowned out a bit

[cerulean sable]

yeah it was like

nice info

[opaque sigil]

where game

[cerulean sable]

then starts using it to speculate that the game is finished and itll release soon

then that turns into another shitshow about how they wish TC would just give a timeframe for the release date

also some people that saw the magazine were asking if they released anything about a release date in it

[opaque sigil]

Yes, because that would be a sensible place to put a date

[rapid topaz]

I don't get why it's so important to know the date, like, this doesn't mean the game will be finished faster if they gave an estimated range of date for the release

[opaque sigil]

[rapid topaz]

For me "it's done when it's done" is probably the most logical and reasonable thing

[opaque sigil]

Shame #sk-discussion scorns logic and reason, often explicitly

[shell yacht]

and dont even touch the reddit posts

[rapid topaz]

Well I can understand the speculations and stuff, I've done some myself.. but at some point I just came with the conclusion that it wasn't worth it. Also I started a dev class a month ago and even if I'm still a beginner, I can imagine the amount of work needed for this kind of project. From what I've seen, people seems to not fully realize how messy and complicated a project like that could turns out

[random fox]

Alo

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, that's probably a part of it. It's often explicitly a component of why people think more blogposts is a wholly reasonable expectation

eg "it doesn't take that long to write a few paragraphs, maybe an hour or two" or something similar when in reality it disrupts about a week of dev time

[random fox]

I wouldnt mind if we got ss 1 week late if it means we get some news

[shell yacht]

one week late compared to what date lmao thats just more gimme news crap

[random fox]

I mean im not gonna go harass anyone cuz no news cuz thats never okay to do but its been quite a while

It would be pretty good if we got anything

[burnt oar]

agree

[opaque sigil]

But like, a week adds up

Week here, week there, soon you're looking at months

[burnt oar]

and years

[opaque sigil]

Plus TC doesn't necessarily want to lose that week

[shell yacht]

tldr: shuttup and wait

[burnt oar]

[rapid topaz]

I mean, yeah, exactly.

[opaque sigil]

imo TC's probably as eager if not moreso than we are for release, needless delays might not be something they want to suffer

[shell yacht]

its actually taking forever bcGraigs supposed to be hand delivering physical copies

[random fox]

Wait if i preorder physical copy ill meet graig

[rapid topaz]

I can pay Graig with french cheese and wine

[harsh pendant]

I’d question your premise. How exactly some short news disrupts a whole week?

A day maybe.

[opaque sigil]

It disrupts the flow of development, and they have to be exceedingly careful with screenshots and what they say, plus find fanart, etc

[harsh pendant]

Again. That’s sounds pretty baseless. How exactly does it disrupt the “flow”?

[opaque sigil]

true

[olive bobcat]

Why bully Graig when you can bully me

[coarse leaf]

Dont diss daddy tammo

[pallid flare]

what

[opaque sigil]

[coarse leaf]

tammo how much of ollow knight did u finish

[serene chasm]

Por que no los dos?

[opaque sigil]

All of it except the flower quest and P5 because those seem like pains to do

[olive bobcat]

Fake fan

[coarse leaf]

lmfao fair enough

[pallid flare]

wait a second you never did the fragile flower thing

[opaque sigil]

No

[pallid flare]

isn't that a %

[coarse leaf]

u know what the real pain is? radiant vengefly i literally cannot do it i dont have the patience

[serene chasm]

Did you do pop

[opaque sigil]

I think so

[coarse leaf]

pobres

[pallid flare]

incredible

[coarse leaf]

its 1% for mask shard

[opaque sigil]

I mean I've never claimed to have done 112%

[minor gale]

I dont know how i feel about the New Tool system

[pallid flare]

i assumed you did

[serene chasm]

Tool talk?!

[coarse leaf]

I did 112% yesterday ☺️ the flower quest is very easy tbh

[opaque sigil]

I'm optimistic about it, charms (and customization in general) were one of HK's weaker points imo

[coarse leaf]

CHARMS ARE COOL

[minor gale]

I disagree

[serene chasm]

They could be cooler

[opaque sigil]

Probably but that doesn't mean I want to do it
I'm not the type of guy who plays games to get 100% completion, I just do what I want to do

[serene chasm]

Good on you Tammo

[coarse leaf]

unbreakble STRENGTHHHH!!!

[opaque sigil]

Charms weren't bad, of course, just compared to the other aspects of HK it felt kind of dry

[coarse leaf]

bruh i thought the charms are sexy as

[craggy fjord]

Are the tools gonna be infinite?

[minor gale]

No have you seen the dempo

[opaque sigil]

Yellow and blue tools, probably, red tools will have finite uses between benches

[craggy fjord]

Or do you need to keep buying them

[serene chasm]

Is broken AF and ruins just became the meta. I'm hoping they balance tols enogh that there won't be a set on tools / crest that is just op and using anything else is pointless

[opaque sigil]

You can repair them at benches

[craggy fjord]

Ohh then I'm gonna like them

[opaque sigil]

You do need shell shards but they're plentiful and have no other purpose afawk

[craggy fjord]

If we had to keep buying/getting them I would just not use any

Like health potions in any game with health potions

[opaque sigil]

You don't need to run back to merchants or anything, yeah, that would suck

[minor gale]

I think the bind thing is the best thing added

[coarse leaf]

SAME

[opaque sigil]

Although tbh I'm not thrilled about the limited ammo ordeal but I'm optimistic that it'll work out

[coarse leaf]

I'm not a fan of the crafting shards thing either

[opaque sigil]

Bind is certainly a good way to change the flow of SS combat from the very beginning

[serene chasm]

They have to balance it somehow

[coarse leaf]

so charms arent coming back?

[opaque sigil]

Tools will fill a similar role and then some

[coarse leaf]

but there anret gonna be 44 tools

[opaque sigil]

Probably more

[coarse leaf]

whaaaaaa

😮

[opaque sigil]

Yellow and Blue tools will likely fill the role of charms, with red tools becoming attacks and abilities

And crests themselves will have unique properties

[serene chasm]

Plus crests also seem to have passive properties. Or enhance the tools properties. The variation in SS is going to be awesome

[opaque sigil]

There will probably still be a meta but with an increased range of options there will probably be more viable ones

[minor gale]

I wonder if we will see ghost in the game

[opaque sigil]

We won't

[minor gale]

How

[opaque sigil]

wym

[coarse leaf]

Will there be like build paths

[minor gale]

Like evidence

[opaque sigil]

Not in that you have to unlock things in order in, like, a progression tree or something, but there will probably be build philosophies

[coarse leaf]

How

Aighr sounds good

[opaque sigil]

Probably not a prequel, and even if it is that would still be contradictory to TC's messaging about SS being an independent game

[minor gale]

Oh ok

[opaque sigil]

I could see a reference to it in passing or something, though

Something vague and small so that fans of HK recognize it but it wouldn't necessarily ostracize those new to the series

That can be tough to balance but even something as unassuming as "I am without my usual tools" (from forge daughter convo) can help leverage the first game to contextualize the second without necessitating it for understanding

Like, to an old player that's a clear reference to the spikeballs Hornet had in KE, but to a new player it could just mean "weapon." There isn't really a feeling of missing something, necessarily

[trim estuary]

For example: “I’m missing my half sibling made of void” would not be a good way to reference TK

"i sure do hate the fact that my half-sibling that's the child of two higher beings that was taken over by some spicy n't sauce that murdered the whole population of hallownest's infected bugs and became pretty much a god isn't here right now"

[trim estuary]

[cerulean sable]

this charm makes you shoot out spores when you heal (woah)
this charm summons small baby flukes at the cost of soul (wow)
this charm has a chance to not damage you the more you get hurt (what???)
this charm straight up increases your fucking DPS that to the point that you can destroy a lot of the bosses with it :)))))))))

[foggy dune]

do we know if ss is going to be set b4 or after HK?

[opaque sigil]

Not with certainty but probably after

[tough glen]

this means there will be more options for shitpost builds

[opaque sigil]

Exactly

Much more room to mess around, and presumably more replay value since you can go through multiple times with different general setups

[tough glen]

Do you think there'll be more unique setup-based NPC interactions?

Similar to Defender's Crest

[opaque sigil]

I could see that, especially since crests are articles of clothing, so they would probably be pretty visible to npcs

It would make sense for some to comment on them

And some tools are modeled after NPC weapons so they might have something to say

[nimble radish]

the defenders crest interactions are due to the knight smelling so bad that everyone notices

[tough glen]

Yeah ik

[nimble radish]

passive tools would have to have similarly noticeable effects for tools to trigger dialogue

[opaque sigil]

I mean even VH had a good amount of npc dialogue

[tough glen]

That's what I meant, if hornet carrying a throwing knife tool atm gets someone to comment on her walking through town fully armed or sth

For example

[opaque sigil]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was at least a similar amount of NPC acknowledgement of that sort of thing

[tough glen]

Yeah but it feels different from DCrest, it feels more like Kingsbrand dialogue cuz its mandatory at some point

[opaque sigil]

Fair

[bleak pine]

Whats ss?

[opaque sigil]

Silksong, the sequel (maybe chronologically) to Hollow Knight

[bleak pine]

Oh

[tough glen]

Please, call it a spiritual successor. There's no clear connection between the world of Silksong to the world of Hollow Knight.
||||

[opaque sigil]

“And then there are also these tasks that characters – or Hornet herself – will lay out for the player.” “They vary across the world,” Gibson says, “and some of them are related to helping the residents in seeing changes and evolution to the spaces that you inhabit.” Pellen adds: “There’s more of that stuff happening this time – it’s quite a complex world.”
It does seem like pharloom npc interactions will be a bit more nuanced, along with, well, most everything

[tough glen]

I'm so hyped for signs that don't break in one hit

[trim estuary]

What if she’s carrying a body carved into a weapon thanks to

[opaque sigil]

Well, Hornet, Weavers, hallownest seal on the inventory screen in the demo, FD conversation, that sorta thing, but yeah, the plot connections will probably not be extensive

[tough glen]

Did you not notice my at the end there

It was a joke, of course they're in the same world

[opaque sigil]

Well there's not really a clear connection between settings, beyond the few characters

[tough glen]

Yeah but you can't get clearer than that

[nimble radish]

since it's not a direct sequel we should call it a squeakwell

[shy stirrup]

Its totally a direct sequel timewise

[opaque sigil]

lori I will hunt you to the ends of the earth if you say that again

[tough glen]

Hornet being the protag of SS is a very clear and direct connection

[tough glen]

lori it'll be funny if you say that again, do it

[opaque sigil]

Yeah but it doesn't establish a robust connection between the history of Pharloom and Hallownest

[tough glen]

Oh yeah I didn't mean the lore

[opaque sigil]

Oh, I did. mb

[tough glen]

Just the world itself

[glossy gazelle]

Hornet you need to go to Bonebottom Hornet

Hornet, Bonebottom is under attack

Please help us

Ill mark it on your map

[glossy gazelle]

I wonder how many towns there will be, Have we seen 3 or 4 thus far?

[olive bobcat]

We've seen 4 so far

If we're going by Dirtmouth sizes, 4 towns is a lot

[trim estuary]

I think skirmishes with NPCs if you anger them would be cool

[opaque sigil]

Plus the caravan which was described as a "roaming dirtmouth" or something along those lines

[coarse leaf]

not for hornet's character, don't forget how fast you can move with her

[opaque sigil]

There's still a lot there even if Hornet can move through it faster

[silver oak]

Hornet travelling at Mach 1

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Please label fakes

wdym, thats literally hornet

I’d imagine they mostly mean it’s a roaming pit stop / rest stop

Yeah, maybe a vendor or two

Wanna see a movie?

you weren't about to do that right

[frozen bloom]

[cunning geode]

yes

[opaque sigil]

Damn

[nimble radish]

it's ok to send a movie that's public domain though

[opaque sigil]

Well yeah, ofc

[frozen bloom]

Move over..

[cunning geode]

what?

[pallid flare]

I have no idea

[frozen bloom]

🦴

I have a major breakthrough

[lament lotus]

?

[frozen bloom]

In Hollow Knight, the knight uses Milk to cast various thinks and is around The Milk
And in Silk Song
Its not actually Silk..
Its Milk in long thread form

[cunning geode]

are you ok

[lament lotus]

[dusty nimbus]

So it's milk grass

[old flare]

Milksong confirmed??

[coarse leaf]

milk?

[frozen bloom]

Wait, Its all milk?
Always has been

[lament lotus]

milk doesnt give me soul irl
or whats part of it

[frozen bloom]

Cus you dont have a milk bar

[dusty nimbus]

I believe there will be at least an easter egg to milk in SS

[lament lotus]

how where buy

[frozen bloom]

Craigslist

[fervent salmon]

https://www.sanfransentinel.com/hollow-knight-op-mod.html

[lament lotus]

💳 💥 💳 💥 💳 💥

[cunning geode]

maybe dont send rick roll links that look like viruses in our current age of discord scams

seriously though

[fervent salmon]

ok

[frozen bloom]

There is a discord nitro link thats a rickroll

But it looks more like those scams

[opaque sigil]

But now would not be a good climate to use it

At this point I doubt mods think twice before banning for fake nitro links

[frozen bloom]

Insta-ban

[lament lotus]

just blacklist the words they say?

[frozen bloom]

Btw my friend was giving away legit nitros and everyone hesitated to click it lol

[opaque sigil]

Like what, "nitro," "free," etc?

[cunning geode]

we already blacklist scam links

they just have a lot of them

[olive bobcat]

Yeah sure

[lament lotus]

ah

[opaque sigil]

And I imagine new ones pop up

[frozen bloom]

I got that nitro

[cunning geode]

there are many many scam links you never see because they are blacklisted

[lament lotus]

what is their goal though?

[cunning geode]

so however bad you think it is - it's worse

[opaque sigil]

Probably an exponentially increasing number of them too

[fiery coral]

And some you never see because we're so quick 😎

[opaque sigil]

Steal info, hijack account to post more links, maybe download viruses to your computer, probably all sorts of nasty stuff

[lament lotus]

hm probably

[frozen bloom]

Look

[opaque sigil]

tell your friend to dm me Well people are understandably cautious about this stuff nowadays

[frozen bloom]

They fricking gave mostly active ppl on the server

[opaque sigil]

(I was joking btw)

[lament lotus]

they are becoming too smart that looks almost convincing

[pallid flare]

because it might be real

[opaque sigil]

That one was real, idt you can fake that discord thing

[lament lotus]

what

[opaque sigil]

The special embed

[lament lotus]

[opaque sigil]

I don't think that can be faked

[coarse leaf]

they did?

[lament lotus]

like 2 years ago

[coarse leaf]

that’s e3 bro

[opaque sigil]

It's a demo

[lament lotus]

still demo

[coarse leaf]

and that’s 2 years ago

[frozen bloom]

Make a time machine and go back to past to play the demo

[opaque sigil]

Why would tc make another demo

[frozen bloom]

Or... Just go to the future..

[lament lotus]

easy as 1 2 3

[coarse leaf]

how much u think silksong is gonna cost

[opaque sigil]

$15

[coarse leaf]

I’m guessing $25 but I would pay $50 easily

[frozen bloom]

They could have charged like 80$ for hk itself

Even free dlcs

[opaque sigil]

Game wouldn't have sold well if they did

[frozen bloom]

Yeah,
Considering it was their first game

[coarse leaf]

lmao I think $15 was smart, more accessible more people buy n stuff

but they could get away with $30 for silksong

[opaque sigil]

15 was smart, and it worked amazingly for them

[coarse leaf]

unfortunately indies can’t go for more than $40 or they sell poorly

and getting an indie game at an $40 price tag can still be difficult to get sales with

[opaque sigil]

Indies also don't need to be that expensive to turn a profit, with a lower cost of production

[coarse leaf]

true

[opaque sigil]

Plus TC has been designing SS with new players in mind so they aren't exclusively aiming for their previous audience, so $15 still seems like a better choice imo

But I'm not an expert or anything

Plus they have talked about being sensitive to the fact that in some places even $15 is a lot of money

So I don't really see that substantial an increase

[glass vigil]

It’s a highly anticipated game, I think they could get away with charging 20 to 25 USD and no one would complain too much

[opaque sigil]

Maybe but that's a 33%-66% price increase

Substantial and not really necessary

[coarse leaf]

i will literally pay 200 for silksong

[opaque sigil]

It's not about what they could get away with

[glass vigil]

Silksong could be much bigger than Hollow Knight we don’t know that bruv, you’re comparing prices with the previous game

They have the resources to make the game as big as they want now

[olive bobcat]

Doesn't mean they'll make the price as big as they want too

[opaque sigil]

If price:content ratio was a priority over accessibility and appeal then HK's $15 price tag is incoherent

Even with more reputation some of their reasoning behind the pricing holds

[coarse leaf]

900 IQ strat: release game at a 50% launch discount at 15$ then 2 weeks later make it 30$ so OG fans get it at the HK price and TC gets more money from a bigger game

[glass vigil]

You said it yourself, first game means no reputation to back up higher prices

Not so much now

[opaque sigil]

Even with more reputation some of their reasoning behind the pricing holds

Accessibility and appeal to a wider audience than established HK fans are still a concern

Plus even at $15 SS would still be a significant financial success. HK was, and that may well end up selling fewer copies than SS will

And again, I'm not saying they couldn't go higher, I just don't expect them to

Very different

Does it sound like they plan on increasing the prices of their games significantly?

[tawdry valley]

Beyond that however, raising the price of a game by say, 30% and losing 50% of a customer base is a net loss in profit

[opaque sigil]

Yes, but idk if that would really necessarily translate into that much loss, especially with the game following up on HK's success

[tawdry valley]

It’s in TCs best interests as an internationally known Ip as well as an indie game to not raise the price significantly or even at all for this reason

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, I agree in principle

But I do think that that the downsides would be more pronounced in the case of a game that has relatively little fanfare

[little cairn]

how much is gonna ss cost?

[tawdry valley]

15-25usd

[cunning geode]

theyre literally all talking about that right now

[little cairn]

cool

[pallid flare]

what's up with that question today

[opaque sigil]

I'm leaning more towards $15

[formal karma]

it's so mind-bending to me that people are sticklers for that subject

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah we don't have any solid answers

[coarse leaf]

they wouldnt lose 50% sales though, they def could make a higher profit above $15 but if they are prioritising accessibility thats cool too

[opaque sigil]

DDX's numbers were arbitrary

[tawdry valley]

^

[coarse leaf]

i would literally pay $20398812382 for silksong

[opaque sigil]

The point was that increasing price can decrease profit

[tawdry valley]

And is also guaranteed to botch accessibility

[coarse leaf]

ah mb

[tawdry valley]

Both of which are things TC will consider when setting a price tag.

[opaque sigil]

Accessibility is explicitly a priority

[coarse leaf]

Personaly i dont care about the price they deserve it

[tawdry valley]

I do not think you understand this number

[opaque sigil]

I do not think they used the word "literally" literally

[formal karma]

exagerating is funni

[coarse leaf]

he does, hes just bezos

[coarse leaf]

I can't read the numbers but i will pay more

[tawdry valley]

$20,398,812,382 is half of the planets GDP

[coarse leaf]

i dont think so

[coarse leaf]

its 20 bil though

[tawdry valley]

Granted it’s circulated money;

[formal karma]

GDP isn't money

[pallid flare]

that's quite a bit of money

[past kettle]

That’s terribly unfortunate. I’ve only had one silksong dream and in it hornet was fighting the hamburgler

[dim shadow]

It was a Nintendo direct that said "silksong release date revealed! Silksong will arrive in 6 minutes!"

[past kettle]

That’d be sick

Disappointed as hell when i woke up

well what if it were 45 long runs? hmmm?

[vivid belfry]

on a non-shitpost note, I don't think playtime is a good metric for qualifying an experience

time spent in a metroidvania wandering around and hitting dead-ends is not as valuable as time spent fighting bosses and exploring new areas

that's why HK is good, it drastically reduces the amount of time you fuck around without knowing where to go

[tribal merlin]

playtime is my rule of thumb for minimum value for money. A game has to at least get me through as many hours as it cost bucks

[charred pulsar]

[proud vale]

It’s about sending a message

[pallid flare]

[marsh ibex]

trolling purposes basically

[opaque sigil]

Doctor Manhattan doesn't give a shit though

[chilly nexus]

[iron spear]

[iron spear]

[silver oak]

Graig | Professional Player

[proud vale]

I assume you also partake in the croissants?

[silver oak]

The grind is real

[tribal merlin]

croissants filled with spaghetti

[iron spear]

You guys have bought me lunch so many times

[harsh jewel]

i Can't imagine the emotional and Physical stress you must go through

[iron spear]

Thanks and keep buying the game ffs

[silver oak]

spaghetti filled with croissants

[proud vale]

Glad we can fuel your Taco Bell dependencies

[silver oak]

Depending on how much a lunch costs for you, we've each only bought you like 2 lunches max

But thank you for appreciating us

[proud vale]

We should just use lunches as a new universal currency

[potent plover]

What is going on here

[coarse leaf]

graig bullies us for lunch money

[silver oak]

It's like how people used to trade with livestock

[potent plover]

Ah, the usual

[silver oak]

"I'll pay you 2 chickens for that axe" and then you pull out 2 live chickens from your pocket and slap them on the table

[proud vale]

Graig changes economics forever circa 2021

[burnt topaz]

if bullying results in a 40 hour long fun indie game maybe i should get bullied more often

[proud vale]

Unsure whether to shroompog or elderC

[burnt topaz]

[coarse leaf]

fine
ur fat

[burnt topaz]

awesome, now wheres silksong

this is also the second time someones made a fat joke to me

[coarse leaf]

it takes 4 yrs of bullying

[coarse leaf]

hey, for all i know, u have the physique of a greek god

[burnt topaz]

I am 5 foot, so a short greek god

[silver oak]

Hephaestus

[harsh jewel]

Bardoon > Any other NPC

[potent plover]

is Bardoon better than Hornet and the knight?

[marsh ibex]

Hephaestus was a gifted smith, but he was also kind of a jerk

[high hedge]

To be Hephaestus you also need a receding hairline

[harsh jewel]

I said ANY NPC

[high hedge]

Hornet is still an npc

[potent plover]

those are the only playable characters I'm pretty sure

[harsh jewel]

well hornet isn't playable yet so she still counts

[potent plover]

I guess so

[burnt topaz]

what about the knight though

[marsh ibex]

They are not playable

[high hedge]

That is the player character

[harsh jewel]

he's fine for now

[marsh ibex]

we play as ourselves

controlling the knight

The knight has no agency and therefore does not exist lore wise

[burnt topaz]

i know, i was asking in terms of whether bardoon was better than the knight specifically

[high hedge]

So confusing

[marsh ibex]

if that was confusing, good

because I pulled that all out of my ass

that is completely untrue

[silver oak]

Joker, you're not in lore anymore

[marsh ibex]

you’ve been trollege

[high hedge]

Wow

[harsh jewel]

oh yes

[silver oak]

I'm not a gnelf
I'm not a gnoblin

[high hedge]

My life is no longer a lie

[harsh jewel]

are you a gnome?

[potent plover]

well we can all agree that hornet is ___

[pallid flare]

we all have been gnomed

[burnt topaz]

true

[pallid flare]

hornet is the most of all time

[high hedge]

Horney

[silver oak]

I agree, Hornet really is one of the characters of all time

[harsh jewel]

no we have been coconut malled

[burnt topaz]

no :(

[potent plover]

what

[harsh jewel]

how could you

[high hedge]

These are all proper reactions

[potent plover]

If Cornifer is Corny then Hornet

Yeah, That.

[harsh jewel]

yep

[high hedge]

Hornet puts the horn in horney, but that’s just a theory

[high hedge]

A horney theory

[potent plover]

stop making this worse

?

[burnt topaz]

out of web

[harsh jewel]

Web 😏

[high hedge]

Where does her silk come from?

[burnt topaz]

huh?

[marsh ibex]

Her shell

[potent plover]

Where is this going?

[high hedge]

Makes sense

I also store Spider Silk in my shell

[harsh jewel]

Crickets

[potent plover]

hollow knight cloth reference?

oh you just mean this channel is dead

[pallid flare]

ched lol

[serene chasm]

dammit mods. I wanted the free nitro

[proud vale]

What’s everyone’s favourite type of weather, and why?

[high hedge]

I’m sure you can find a link somewhere

[high hedge]

Sleet because it’s l33t

[proud vale]

Damn I wish I got snow around Christmas

[high hedge]

It’s great for a Christmas aesthetic, but it can be pretty annoying most of the time

[proud vale]

True but the feeling of being a little too cold and warm is a little better than being a bit too hot and then cool IMO

[high hedge]

Fair, though I do like an ice cream on a hot day

Or a slushy. Just something cool

[proud vale]

True a slurpee on a blazing hot day does hit the spot
