Yes of course let's make spells have more damage totally creative

Coconut crab boss fight would be like the deleted spider boss

no that would be Japanese spider crab

dusty nimbus

Spider crab is a weakling compared to the coconut crab, the coconut crab eats seagulls alive they're more savage

coarse leaf
#

the japanese spider crab would assert dominance with its sheer lankiness

trim estuary
dusty nimbus

Coconut crab would simply crush the Japanese spider crabs legs and reduce it's lankiness

the fuck does this mean

the ghost crab would run circles around them both until they die of exhaustion

Wait let me go compare their size

the spider crab is much larger

how will the coconut crab compete

But the coconut crab is way bulkier

I mean it crushes bones and the shells of seashells and crabs to eat them

#hk-meme

coarse leaf
#

what about this guy

charred cloak
#

There is no sk meme channel other than this channel

trim estuary
#

Is it #vh-meme?

opaque sigil
#

#hk-meme is for HK and SS memes

charred cloak
#

Thats confusing

trim estuary

#

wait it is?

trim estuary
#

Yes zote

coarse leaf
#

oh

charred cloak
#

see confusing

opaque sigil
#

Not really

charred cloak
#

someone else was so...

coarse leaf
#

it's the only meme channel so

opaque sigil
#

The pins also explicitly direct you to post random memes in #hk-meme

coarse leaf
#

i'm just confused in general i shouldn't be used as an example

trim estuary
opaque sigil
#

Why wouldn't it

trim estuary
#

See this is why we need #vh-discussion instead of #hk-discussion, or, make them two separate channels

charred cloak
#

right this channel is a meme channel, its hardly a ss discussion since ive so many topics discussed here outside of ss

trim estuary
#

One for series discussion and one for VH in particular

opaque sigil
trim estuary
#

But that’s off topic too

opaque sigil

#

well then a mod can tell me that

#

till then

An admin did

charred cloak
#

who?

opaque sigil

Random posting of memes are to be done in #hk-meme

At least read the channel guidelines before calling them confusing zote

oh dang you got me, ouch my pride

#

why did i never know this

serene chasm
#

Memes should not be posted anywhere

coarse leaf
#

so is the game called hollow knight or voidheart

opaque sigil
slow heart
#

If I remember correctly the plan (back when we though SS was right around the corner), Silksong spoilers are allowed in all channels in the Hollow Knight category except #hk-discussion. If you want to talk without getting spoiled go to #off-topic, which flat out doesn’t allow any Hollow Knight content, or a bunker server.

trim estuary
#

No the game is called Hollow Knight: Voidheart and the sequel is Hollow Knight: Silksong. Hollow Knight is the series

languid linden
#

Voidheart is just an edition of the game

#

For PS4 and Xbox

trim estuary
#

How
They’re all the same

slow heart
#

No?

opaque sigil
trim estuary
languid linden
#

From the wiki

slow heart
coarse leaf
#

what were the changes out of curiosity

languid linden
#

Balancing I think

opaque sigil
#

It's going to be split, so is #hk-lore as I understand it

languid linden
trim estuary
coarse leaf
#

the great schism

opaque sigil
#

Using a single help or lore channel would be unrealistic

#

Though lore channels might overlap in subject matter a bit

silver oak
#

We don't need another art channel or off topic channel tho

trim estuary
#

Exactly so we have #vh-lore, #ss-lore, and #hk-lore

silver oak
#

That seems over the top

opaque sigil
#

Just #hk-lore and #ss-lore would be enough

#

Overlap is too small to merit its own channel

silver oak
#

The full name is "Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition"

opaque sigil
#

No it isn't

serene chasm
#

Every area needs its own lore channel

opaque sigil
#

The name of the game is Hollow Knight

coarse leaf
trim estuary
opaque sigil
#

That's the name of the edition

silver oak
#

Yes

languid linden
opaque sigil
#

The name of the game is Hollow Knight

silver oak
#

That's what I said

slow heart
#

Console players going crazy right now.

silver oak
coarse leaf
#

it's just called hollow knight on steam iirc

trim estuary
#

Steam isn’t canon

coarse leaf
opaque sigil
#

There is Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong. These games have the same relationship as "The Legend of Zelda" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"

silver oak
opaque sigil
#

This is a common naming convention

coarse leaf
#

monster hunters a good example of it

silver oak
#

I think I agree with you guys but I just said it in a confusing way zote

coarse leaf
#

lmao

opaque sigil
#

Notably, the channel descriptions in the discord specify whether a channel is about the series or the games. This is not ambiguous

slow heart
#

Yes.

silver oak
#

You are correct

coarse leaf
#

no that's Tammo

trim estuary
#

silver oak
#

what?

slow heart
#

If there’s a HK channel but not a SS? It works for both. If there’s a HK channel and a SS channel? They’re separated.

Why do you keep asking about bug fables crossover stuff

we don’t know

because my mind is stuck with this

#

thought of it for many things

uncut citrus

#

Which one zote

uncut citrus
#

Lemme find it

trim estuary
#

They’re finding it

uncut citrus
#

This one

opaque sigil
#

Oh that was her hitting a wall, not sprinting into it

#

Attacking it with the needle

uncut citrus
#

No fall dmg, but fall into wall dmg zote

opaque sigil
#

Hornet may be able to survive a fall at her terminal velocity but can she survive slamming face first into a wall at full speed hollowwoke

uncut citrus
#

It’s not terminal velocity if she survives

trim estuary
#

She didn’t survive though? She got hit by the needle

opaque sigil
uncut citrus
#

I mean

opaque sigil
uncut citrus
#

We never saw hornet fall from that high

#

Even if we saw her take the stun effect from falling

opaque sigil
#

I mean the cage fell pretty far but she was probably slammed against it as it bounced off the ground, so that wouldn't just be the fall that could hurt her

uncut citrus
#

I was about to talk about that

trim estuary
#

Also they’re bugs so falling doesn’t really hurt them

uncut citrus
#

She’s only at 1hp after the fall but we don’t really know if only the fall hurt her

trim estuary
#

Falling inside of a cage and getting whacked by it does though

uncut citrus
#

Maybe she was already pretty beaten up in the cage

opaque sigil
#

She's also weakened from being in the cage anyways, that could render her less than physically robust

#

Tired and weak could reasonably mean less HP

uncut citrus
trim estuary
opaque sigil
#

Well more her one mask in the beginning of SS

trim estuary
#

(I’m referring to the fact that it takes way more than five hits to defeat her in HK)

opaque sigil
#

And then binding lets her recover physically

#

Anyways, I gtg. See y'all later sethfedora

I like that ss is trying out something new with the color scheme it’s a lot more upbeat and warm unlike the one in hk which is more cool and chill (I’m not trying to compare them or say that one is better than the other) so I’m looking forward to that and also don’t know how im gonna get used to the larger hitbox that hornet will have as compared to the knight and also I wonder if there’s gonna be something like spells in ss

stark estuary
#

Silk skills

opaque sigil
#

The color scheme is definitely a welcome change, yeah

#

Getting used to Hornet's hitbox will probably just come with time and many, many deaths

mortal mango
#

like the moss area has a much warmer green than green path

opaque sigil
#

And much more of it

mortal mango
#

and I don’t think there was any red/orange other than the infection because the infection is supposed to stand out

tacit kiln
#

more like it is in sunlight i think

stark estuary
#

Yeah SS's a lot more vibrant and a lot less...dreary. Probably reflective of the overall tone of the game, as in HK Greenpath was in decline.

opaque sigil
#

Even Greenpath had a lot of blue to its color palette

#

As much blue as green, if not more

mortal mango
#

I wonder how they’re gonna remake the mask shard and soul vessel mechanics

opaque sigil
#

Well the mask shards seem to work about the same

tacit kiln
#

well in the demo the masks looked the same

stark estuary
#

Mask Shards still exist

gilded adder
stark estuary
#

Snails, myself included.

tacit kiln
#

also wonder how hard it will be to learn the new controls

mortal mango
#

also the fact that you can actually speak to the npcs instead of just listening to what they have to say is also cool

opaque sigil
nimble radish
#

will the spool just store more with upgrades or will it do something different

tacit kiln
#

we dont know

opaque sigil
#

Hornet might just pick up more notches one at a time, not have to gather multiple to see any change

stark estuary
#

I know, as I have the game.

nimble radish
mortal mango
#

also if there’s gonna be a charm system or if there’s gonna be something different

stark estuary
#

There's crests

opaque sigil
#

Tools basically are the charm system and then some

mortal mango
gilded adder
mortal mango
gilded adder
opaque sigil
#

Crests have a certain number of each of three types of slots, which tools are put in

#

Well four types but the fourth is weird and we don't know how it works

potent plover
#

crests are just notches with extra steps

mortal mango
#

there’s also blood when you stab things

opaque sigil
potent plover
#

and crests will also affect health and attack on their own

opaque sigil
#

Crest effects seem to be a bit more varied than that

#

Edge alludes to a crest that grants increased shell shard pickups

stark estuary
opaque sigil
#

They also vary in coloration depending on enemy type

stark estuary
#

As you'd expect

tacit kiln
#

orange is pretty much as bad as you can get

opaque sigil

It's more the attention to detail that's surprising than the detail itself zote

stark estuary
# opaque sigil Eh let's see how much damage you can do to my psychological state, I'm done with...

If you look closely you will see that the flames summoned by LJ are orange. These resemble the infection, which is also orange. Furthermore, if you squint really hard you will realise Hornet's legs are, in fact, black in colour. Now, in addition to the incredibly similar colouration, we must remember that fire, obviously emits light. The Radiance happens to be the literal sun, which is often incorrectly described as a "giant ball of fire". Clearly, Hornet is jumping through the flames (Radiance) and is about to attack the Last Judge. Now, let me ask you, what opposes light? That's right, it's Void, and what does that mean? Hornet is Void, a theory further corroborated by her black coloration. I have posited a similar theory before, but I would like to expand on it. First and foremost, I believe Silksong to take place following the "Embrace the Void" ending, in which Rad is killed by SL. This, combined with its close proximity to a Void being (Hornet) causes LJ's eyes to drip black goo. However, it suggests Radiance is not truly dead, as the infection has not ceased. I feel it merits mentioning that the seal-breaking flies look exactly like the one Seer turns into, and being a moth, Seer was made by Rad. Lace is seen surrounded by white bugs, and is pale in colour, so she is a Pale Being. I believe she is the reincarnation of the Pale King for this reason (Bardoon said Wyrms can reincarnate btw).

Your theory is valid because you raise a lot of good points, but in the end we all know that hornet is not void

ah yes good points

stark estuary
#

And why is that?

opaque sigil
#

However, it suggests Radiance is not truly dead, as the infection has not ceased. I feel it merits mentioning that the seal-breaking flies look exactly like the one Seer turns into, and being a moth, Seer was made by Rad.
Had to work that in huh agoneyes

what is void commonly described as? that's right, empty/hollow. Now, what is 99.9% of atoms, yea that's right, empty space. Think about it, everything is void.

At least Hera actually have 8 legs

i think in the demo when you died you could see hornets full body and it had only two hands and two leg

and tbf PK's original form probably had like no limbs? so like if hornet is a mix from PK and Herrah that makes 4 limbs

I think the main core of ss is already done tc is just polishing the game and adding extra tidbits to the game

the main core of the game constitutes fairly little of it if HK is any indication

We don't know

SS is still in alpha

empty trench

so what's ur estimate tammo

opaque sigil
#

Probably will be out by 2025. That'd be a fair amount of dev time

empty trench
#

big zoteboat moment

stark estuary
#

It's a reasonable estimate

opaque sigil
#

That'd be around six years of exclusive development.

serene chasm
#

Thats a really long time for any game

opaque sigil
#

Note that that's an upper limit of what I consider potentially reasonable

stark estuary
coarse leaf
#

wasn't hk like 3 years

serene chasm
#

Though if they needed that much time to make SS the best it can be, Im ok with it

opaque sigil
#

HK was rushed and incomplete at release, and much smaller

stark estuary
#

HK's dev time isn't indicative of what SS's will be

empty trench
#

bruh leth just said they're at final testing but devs keep adding new things sometimes

cunning geode
opaque sigil
#

Leth couldn't say that even if he wanted to

cunning geode
#

Do I need to get the tweet again

opaque sigil
#

Probably

coarse leaf
serene chasm
# stark estuary Nope

Its in the upper end of average dev time. Indies usually have longer dev times but on average (from my observations) its usually around 3 years)

empty trench
#

this way

stark estuary
# coarse leaf true, but i wouldnt expect double the time,

I think you're underestimating how difficult it is to make a game on the scale of SS with a team of three people and how long it inevitably takes to do so.
Even AAA publishers who employ hundreds of people and have boatloads of reusable assets will regularly take 5+ years to make a game that's unlikely to be half as polished.

opaque sigil
#

Read it again

cunning geode
opaque sigil
#

Read it and pay attention to the actual words

empty trench
#

oh k

opaque sigil
#

It's very clearly not what you think it is

coarse leaf
serene chasm
#

Leth is a god damn liar, is what I think /s

opaque sigil
#

Comparing things is silly. Games take time. That's all there is to it

stark estuary
#

I was merely mentioning that 5+ years is the industry standard.

coarse leaf
stark estuary
#

I disagree

opaque sigil
#

Neither is sensible. One being more sensible is insignificant

#

The better of two bad comparisons is not good

sacred stratus
#

well I expect SS to launch somewhere in 2022

#

not early 2022 tho

stark estuary
sacred stratus
#

what really bugs my mind is how a lot of newer AAA titles are less polished, have less meaningful content and have inferior artstyle to well made indies

nimble radish
#

bugs eh

coarse leaf
#

i don't think comparing to hk is unsensible, it was incomplete, sure, but it didn't take them an extra 3 years to amend it, and we don't rly know how much bigger ss is compared to hk

sacred stratus
#

no pun intended

#

HK was definitely not polished on release

sacred stratus

and they did say that they want SS to be different and actually polished day 1

take Cybershit 1977. this thing was in development for more than 7 years and we didn't get a lot of news about it till 1 year from launch

That’s standard. TC kinda did things in a weird order density wise

sacred stratus
#

yeah instead of a steady stream there were droughts with some sudden and short bursts of info

opaque sigil
#

Although ig if you don’t plan to determine a date far in advance you won’t have time to do a ton of news around release

Average

stark estuary
#

On average

opaque sigil
#

It is

#

Less than three years since announcement with 6 instances of news. 6/3 is
 ?

#

Announcement, two independent blogposts, demo, edge, riddles

nimble radish
#

each riddle can be considered a unique release of news

opaque sigil
#

Arguably 7 since the e3 blogpost had its own separate info.

cunning geode
#

not really

#

Lori is saying since the riddles were spread out over time instead of dropped simultaneously

#

that they could count as separate

opaque sigil
#

In the most literal sense they are separate

serene chasm

I think they happened close enough to be considered one thing

cunning geode

if you want to. I don’t really care either way

#

are we arguing? zote

I would love another riddle(s)
