[high hedge]

Really hurts films

Unless you really like Chris Pratt

Then cinemas doing great

[coarse leaf]

I still can't belive that we're going to get a Mario movie with Christ Pratt as Mario

That just seems like a lucid dream or something like that

[high hedge]

He’s also going to be Garfield

[coarse leaf]

Don't forget about the one and only

[serene chasm]

I really hate that I just cant get into Doom Eternal. I loved 2016, but eternal has too much random bullshit that takes away from the fun. I just want to shoot demons, not have 30 different mechanics, that the game has to teach me to use, and then be only useful for like 5% of the game

[marsh ibex]

Seethe and cope

[coarse leaf]

Tbf, I like every mario game, so I'm kinda bs with those AAA games (Besides the New Super games)

[high hedge]

I feel Ultrakill is a really cool indie take on the Doom franchise

[mortal bluff]

I thought the same till I got into the grove of weapon swapping

[coarse leaf]

I still need to play Ultrakill, it seems really cool

[brittle garnet]

Ultrakill is more like Quake than doom

[serene chasm]

Ill probably get around to beating it.

[brittle garnet]

Or like a mix.

[high hedge]

It’s really fun mechanically, and I love all the referential moments

Like there’s a bonus level where it just becomes Crash Bandicoot with Ultrakill

[coarse leaf]

I hate how bad Crash Bandicoot controls are

[high hedge]

I died many times during it, but damn did I appreciate it

[brittle garnet]

I just want more monster hunter

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, like, Crash Bandicoot is a good game, but it also have like, the worst depth perception I ever saw in a video game

[keen kiln]

depth

i'm pretty sure you mean depth perception

[shell yacht]

TGA is canceled, go home

[serene chasm]

I am home

[mystic pewter]

Learning to use these in sync with each other elevated eternal far beyond 2016 for me

[fleet temple]

you scared me for a second

[mortal bluff]

I know not why you say this

[hollow sedge]

chris pratt will reveal silksong at the game awards

[kind drum]

yo

can someone confirm that there are rumors ss is getting announced ar game awards

I heard something about a tweet?

[shell yacht]

they dont have the balls to denounce activisions actions

[shell yacht]

all speculative nonsense like always

[turbid kite]

there are rumors that ss is getting announced at every game related event

[kind drum]

i like speculating

can someone tell me what supposed evidence there is for this one though

[shell yacht]

no

[kind drum]

😭

or sorry, instagram

[shell yacht]

ah yes even more reputable source

[hollow sedge]

nothing is confirmed, there just hasn't been news this year so people are leaning towards something in december

[shell yacht]

tldr yall are cray cray

[serene chasm]

He will also announce that he is voicing the knight in the upcoming HK film

[brave stone]

Chris Pratt is the voice of the the knight

I think Silksong's release date trailer has a good chance of being at TGA's its not guaranteed but it is more than 0. I say it has like a 10%-15% chance

[proud vale]

I would probably say like 50%

[serene chasm]

You should join our little group

[proud vale]

But im a clownkin

[opaque sigil]

50% estimate ain't clownin'

ofc number's arbitrary but ya know

[brave stone]

I mean isn't EVERY thing a 50% chance if you think about it either it happens or it does not

[opaque sigil]

No

[serene chasm]

I think there is a 35:200 chance of SS being at TGA

[shell yacht]

wheres that math obsessed nerd

[opaque sigil]

Arbitrary numbers aren't math

[serene chasm]

60% of the time, it works everytime

[proud vale]

I’m saying 50% due to the fact it would line up with early release which has proven to be endorsed by Leth

[hollow sedge]

yeah Leth has indicated that Silksong could most def be at a event like the game awards

[grim forge]

True

[serene chasm]

Also Leth has mentioned that he likes to go big with his marketing. Having a trailer at something like TGA is pretty big

[opaque sigil]

The question isn't whether TGA would be a reasonable option for TC if they're ready to take advantage of it

[grim forge]

Yeah

[dusk holly]

Whan ss

[serene chasm]

I want to believe

[heady jolt]

so far its looking likely but until the day itself we won't know

stuff like this happens every event but eventually they gotta give something

you can't just say everytime there's an event that nothing will be there because despite the meme silksong will release at some point

[mortal bluff]

Error 9-IITr0y dA b1itz

[opaque sigil]

I can absolutely say that at any given event nothing is guaranteed to be there

And you presuppose that release will be announced at an event which it may not be

[bronze monolith]

It's tempting to join the cult.

[heady jolt]

it seems more likely tho

i doubt they'd shadow drop a release date like that

[opaque sigil]

They could

[mortal bluff]

It gives healthcare benefits

[opaque sigil]

Announcing release dates outside of events is not a rare thing

[mortal bluff]

With something as large as ss I feel that’s not the case

[opaque sigil]

It is

[pastel silo]

This is what makes tga a slightly more plausible

[dusty kettle]

Do you ever think Hornet listens to WAP

[kind drum]

thats crazy

[heady jolt]

that fourth one lmao

[opaque sigil]

Leth choosing TGA as a hypothetical example is bullshit evidence

[pastel silo]

Noone is saying its evidence

[kind drum]

what instagram comment is this referncing

[pastel silo]

Its just the fact that Leth would prefer to line up the release with a big event that sparks a bit of hope for tga ...but only if we suppose that ss is either finished or soon about to be

[heady jolt]

ss is definitely nearing completion i doubt they have a ton more work to do

[glacial pecan]

Is anyone else hoping for more grubs to rescue in Silksong?

[opaque sigil]

We don't know that

[heady jolt]

we have fleas

[glacial pecan]

Fleas?

[brave stone]

ya we got theses guys

[opaque sigil]

SS being nearly done is pure conjecture, nothing more than an assumption

[brave stone]

[heady jolt]

i know this came up but there was a whole conversation of how polished it looked almost 3 years ago

[opaque sigil]

That's not a strong argument

[heady jolt]

and yeah a lot of valid points on how they could have just polished places to show

but i think its a safe bet the music is done

[opaque sigil]

Maybe, maybe not. Either way, doesn't mean game is almost done

[bronze monolith]

I remember Ari saying in an interview that they worked on Hollow Knight in such a way that they could easily wrap it up and release it at any time, but they kept adding more and more to it. I think that's what's going on now, since they're no longer constrained by money and time.

[heady jolt]

yeah

[opaque sigil]

If they're still adding, it isn't done

[heady jolt]

there is possibly no "complete" game they just add until it feels good and then release it

[split tide]

They’re at least not under as much pressure anymore

[frank sparrow]

tbh Team Cherry are smart- by not giving us a release date they have all the time they want into working on Silksong without having to crunch

[opaque sigil]

And without risking breaking promises

[frank sparrow]

pretty much Tammo :3

tho TC probably do, do crunch time- just having something finished by a date ya know

[grim forge]

Mossbog mentioned In his video about going to Australia that TC said that they do crunch months so yeah

[opaque sigil]

That could just be voluntary

[grim forge]

Well yeah

There's not really anything forcing them to crunch

[serene chasm]

Leth makes them crunch

[grim forge]

Leth wants blogs and he wants them now

[bronze monolith]

He told them to write a wish list of ideas they come up with so they save some for later games as well. He said they keep coming up with new stuff.

[primal oriole]

I think there's a decent chance for a release date at TGA this year, but I dont feel like it'll probably happen or anything

[bronze monolith]

I'll watch it just on the off chance that something interesting gets announced even if it isn't Silksong.

[frank sparrow]

i mean i would love for SS to be at TGA- it would an awesome announcing opportunity imo- BUT I can understand if its not

[primal oriole]

if they don't have a release date well probably get a blogpost or something

[bronze monolith]

Or another article.

[cunning geode]

or nothing 👹

[bronze monolith]

Or that.

[frank sparrow]

DONT PLAY THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE

[cunning geode]

I’m not. I am the devil

[frank sparrow]

[bronze monolith]

The devil's avocado.

[cunning geode]

sure

[frank sparrow]

i want some avocado

[cunning geode]

Enjoy your hype, fellas

while it lasts

[frank sparrow]

i will >:c

[opaque sigil]

Like... raw?

Plain, raw avocado?

[frank sparrow]

yes Tammo- definitely

[serene chasm]

Yes. Just eat hem like an apple

[young saffron]

Do you guys ever think when silksong comes out and you just think "what after silksong?"
:l

[opaque sigil]

Aight. Not judging, just clarifying.

[frank sparrow]

i cant remember the name but its got a fox

[bronze monolith]

Fearless Fox.

[frank sparrow]

there we go

[heavy magnet]

there was that mention that TC would like to try a top-down type game, like classic Zelda

[primal oriole]

TCs said it has less swords and horns, I think

[opaque sigil]

Guns then

[heavy magnet]

i like swords and horns tho...
not a great pitch
tell me what it does have

[serene chasm]

TC has said nothing about fearless fox

[opaque sigil]

Nothing exhaustive or particularly specific

“Well, we have that non-Hollow Knight game that is due to be made,” Gibson says. “It’s been left to lapse, which is just fine. But I think we’re both excited to jump into that.” We’re intrigued: when did development begin on this? “They’re just documents that get expanded as each new idea comes in,” Gibson says. “So they’re good in a way, because once the document exists, every month or few months, it gets slowly added to in the background.” The new game is currently one shared Google Doc, and will play to their recognised strengths: “Making a game that’s not Hollow Knight, it’s not that different: they’re just, like, big worlds that we can run around in, and meet new characters, and go on adventures. The theme might change slightly in that you don’t have a sword or a needle any more. But beyond that it’s pretty much the same experience. Maybe the characters won’t have as many horns.” Above all, the new game will be “something we get to explore”, Pellen says. Gibson responds: “We could learn to not make [our worlds] so big. I wonder what would happen. I kind of think it’s probably impossible, but we could try.”
This is it

[cunning geode]

buddy, some people are already there

[young saffron]

wdym

I mean I guess after silksong (if it comes out by then) I can wait for crowsworn :l

[cunning geode]

i see people talking about what TC will do after silksong, but in a way that makes it seem like the game is out and old news

[young saffron]

Yea I guess I overthink about this way too much

[young saffron]

I do this with everything
Example theres a bday party im excited for ill think about "what after the party?"

[runic adder]

It’s interesting to think about but it’s hard to make much good guesses about it

[bronze monolith]

Does that mean there will be a Fearless Fox channel and people hyping themselves up for news for the next 5 years?

[serene chasm]

Yes. FF news when?

[kind drum]

what is thissss

[runic adder]

I mean we don’t even know if they’re sticking with the idea of Fearless Fox

[opaque sigil]

Probably not on this discord

[cunning geode]

a game set in a different IP, even if it is made by Team Cherry, will prolly have its own discord

[young saffron]

Team cherry usually does this christmas gift thing yes? where they give a blog post etc?

[runic adder]

Was that the supposed 4Chan leak? There’s not really any evidence for it

[thick cliff]

[young saffron]

aight so since im in a broke country ( ) games are cheaper example hollow knight in usa is 15 dollars for me its 7 without sale
will that be the case for silksong?

[opaque sigil]

idk why not

TC has said accessibility to be a priority wrt pricing

[young saffron]

thank you

[runic adder]

The price might be raised to $20 but probably not any higher

[opaque sigil]

Even that's a significant increase without a real strong reason

[hollow terrace]

It’ll stay 15 or im crying

[young saffron]

in what way tho? isnt hollow knight normally 15 dollars? so how would 20 dollars but high

[opaque sigil]

It's a 33% increase in price, that's significant

[young saffron]

oh yea..

[runic adder]

I remembered Leth talking about that in the Indie Gamer interview, he there was some debate over whether it should be $15 or $20 because the latter might let them make more money

[young saffron]

buying things such as games / gaming gear is such a pain here

[bronze monolith]

I felt like I was robbing Team Cherry for the price I paid.

[young saffron]

cause most of them arent locally produced so they are much expensive :/

[young saffron]

I paid 4 dollars cause I got it on sale

[opaque sigil]

I mean in accordance with stated priorities I would imagine it would be the $15

They of course can increase the price if they want to

But it's not like they're struggling to make a profit with HK

[runic adder]

Yeah but this was more recent than their statements on that

[gilded adder]

TC also said that they want their games to be as accessible to people as possible and to let people that want to play them play them to a reasonable degree so that's evidence it will remain 15 dollars.

[hollow sedge]

think i got Hollow Knight for 7 dollars on steam

[opaque sigil]

It also isn't mutually exclusive with them

If there's discussion between $15 and $20 accessibility is likely a major component of the reasoning for the former

[runic adder]

Probably yeah

[hollow terrace]

Now though, whos robbing who with our precious patience?

[young saffron]

Im glad they arent being like EA etc

[hollow terrace]

that’s right me! Im stealing your time

[young saffron]

but tho im confused on why silksong wasnt release yet? wasnt it told its coming soon in that nintendo event? or was that not true?

[heady jolt]

not true

[hollow terrace]

I mean it was true

[opaque sigil]

Industry standard language

[heady jolt]

ye

coming soon™️

[opaque sigil]

"Coming Soon" means "date tba"

[runic adder]

And at the time they really hadn’t been working on it for long enough

[young saffron]

from 1-10 how much content of silksong was shown in the trailer :O

[serene chasm]

0.2

[gilded adder]

-1

[primal oriole]

it was like 12 rooms

[runic adder]

Definitely less than that in comparison to what will be in the game

[serene chasm]

0.00000000002

[fathom peak]

√-1
an imaginary number

[gilded adder]

Because Silksong isn't real

[opaque sigil]

You can also just say i

[fathom peak]

yes

[young saffron]

Imagine tc cancels silksong
Imagine..

[hollow terrace]

8

[fathom peak]

true
but it might go over their head if i put "i"

[hollow terrace]

the game is practically spoiled for me now

[opaque sigil]

And the root of negative one definitely won't

[gilded adder]

Mayhaps you can tell us a little of what you know? As a treat?

[olive bobcat]

10

[hollow terrace]

All my explanations is in the show Arcane, that all you should warch

[gilded adder]

Hextech weapons in Silksong?????

[primal oriole]

lesbians

[fathom peak]

well i wrote an imaginary number underneath it
so it works

[young saffron]

silco skin in silksong 🥵

[hollow terrace]

Who powered those weapons? that’s right, silk and song

[fathom peak]

already did

[young saffron]

someone should make a hollow knight jinx skin :o

[gilded adder]

I have 3 episodes left, will most likely finish in a few days.

[runic adder]

I’ll probably watch it over Christmas break

[young saffron]

I finished arcane in 1 day.. and I heavily regret it ;/

[fathom peak]

enjoy it

[hollow terrace]

Silksong is the key building block of our universe, matter of fact we’re still in our preexistence form

[young saffron]

will I become a higher being 🥺

[hollow terrace]

No

[young saffron]

[mortal bluff]

This disturbs me

[heady jolt]

should i watch that video

[native ivy]

Yes

It could be a prophecy of the release date

[heady jolt]

ok im 99% sure this is an ad

nope its a song

[sage glade]

i thought i was the only one

[coarse leaf]

goddammit can't believe team cherry copied something else to make their shitty game
time to abandon ship

[plain loom]

Question: does anyone think that there is absolutely zero chance of silksong at the game awards?

[primal oriole]

probably some people

[grim forge]

I think believing in either absolute 0% chance or 100% chance isn't a good idea

[primal oriole]

seems like unnecessary pessimism, when you can be pessimistic in a less obviously wrong way

[fleet temple]

I think there is a fair chance but the image my brain sends to me of silksong not being there are too realistic

here's the thing, I agree with this, tga does seem like it would be a good time to announce it, and there are certain things that point to it....

But I said the same thing about E3

[primal oriole]

if Silksong had a release date in the next 3 months, it would be at TGA, imo

[plain loom]

Yeah… couldn’t agree more tbh.
I’ve seen a lot of pretty toxic nay sayers here… as well as some overly optimistic people as well.

[grim loom]

Why team cherry twitter account has no blue mark

[frank sparrow]

because twitter doesn't want to give it to them

[fathom peak]

twitter doesnt want to give it to anyone

[serene chasm]

Twitter bad

[grim loom]

Source ?

I though they could enable it but the're too busy.

[fleet temple]

because ss has come out

[grim loom]

Also the youtube channel

[primal oriole]

probably aren't bothered to go through the process

they also might need to tweet more

[grim loom]

Blue mark could recruit more fans

[primal oriole]

no not really lmao

[grim loom]

Alot of indie channel get blue mark even with 40k subcribers

Channels*

[grim forge]

Yeah it sucks

[naive flax]

(Quick! Someone send that fake Silksong YouTube ad!) (The screenshot)

[normal hinge]

(no)

[olive bobcat]

Fake

[split tide]

what happened to the face of the left bug

[olive bobcat]

Gone

[heavy magnet]

avast! new kingdom!

pirate knight

[opal geyser]

Ahoy vessels!

[cunning geode]

okay but in the watery barnacle area can Hornet please please get on a boat

i would love that

like a tram but its a boat with interior

[heavy magnet]

and get attacked by pirate bugs

[cunning geode]

welcomed and accepted by pirate bugs*

[heavy magnet]

she becomes their pirate queen

[cunning geode]

nah just a homie

[heavy magnet]

mmm

[opal geyser]

I could see hornet getting kidnapped by pirates and fighting her way back to shore

[rapid topaz]

hello

[raw bison]

That would be cool

[buoyant osprey]

It would be so funny if ss somehow released this Christmas

[cunning geode]

if you say that enough times TC will prank you by releasing it on Christmas

[buoyant osprey]

It will be same amount of funny if ss doesn't release next year and 2022 gang is on some major copium towards the end

[buoyant osprey]

True 😌

[opal geyser]

If it came out on Christmas no one would be spending any time with their families

[buoyant osprey]

I kind of want them to take until 2025 tbh just to see how massive it can get lol

[opal geyser]

Including myself

[buoyant osprey]

IKR HSHDHHFD

Byeah the game already grew from a small spinoff to as big as hk so far, so maybe it just keeps going exponentially

2030. Take it or leave it.

[opal geyser]

I would personally prefer not waiting another 10 years

[buoyant osprey]

Heheh

[split tide]

bigger than every other game combined

turns out they were adding actually good infinite worldgen

[buoyant osprey]

Fun to think about but they can't hide their juicy secrets in procedural generation

[opal geyser]

Incoming sad thought: || imagine if TC died before finishing silksong ||

[buoyant osprey]

I'd cry. The world will have lost some of the best game devs that ever lived

[opal geyser]

Indeed

[gaunt fox]

A lot of people would mourn, it would be a tragedy

[buoyant osprey]

Sheesh I forgot how bright this pfp was. I need to stop using such saturated colors

[misty shore]

People would break into their abandoned hq to yoink the source code and finish SS for them

[opal geyser]

But then we would get a ton of different silksongs

[misty shore]

More hollow knight content. What a win.

[buoyant osprey]

Silksong would probably be able to be released anyways by a close friend bc I bet they're doing what they did with hk (the core game is complete and they can just keep adding on but can ship it off whenever they want Holy shit this is such a run on post ew help

[cunning geode]

🤨

hm

[opal geyser]

Hmmmm

[buoyant osprey]

Hm???

[opal geyser]

Hm!

[rapid topaz]

hmm

[buoyant osprey]

Oh yea, do any of u keep up with solar ash? Rei reminds me of hornet (black body, pink cloak, white mask, main weapons are needle and thread)

[misty shore]

Hm

[warm bone]

hm

[misty shore]

Welp. Guess I will now just excitedly wait for the event that will likely crush my hopes for the 12th time.

[heavy magnet]

oh shi-
https://solarash.fandom.com/wiki/Ultravoid

[buoyant osprey]

They probably will have nothing

[buoyant osprey]

Lol

[normal token]

Is Solar Ash made by the same people who did HLD?

[misty shore]

I wont be surprised if I get clowned.

[valid sable]

Yes

[normal token]

And why is it epic exclusive btw

[valid sable]

Because they want money

It'll come to Steam after a year or so

[opal geyser]

Imagine if the first person on this server to beat silksong got a special role

[normal token]

So Graig?

[opal geyser]

Besides him, and the game testers

[fallow rock]

THY HAVE RETURNED FORM THE ABYSS OF SOMEWHERE

hello

is the chat

[opal geyser]

Dead? Yes

[fallow rock]

DEAD

[opal geyser]

Blasted slow mode

[fallow rock]

well i'm listening to eleanor rigby

[opal geyser]

Very epic

Also, no idea who that is

[fallow rock]

its a song

[opal geyser]

Oh, hey that was kind of funny

[wary marlin]

Silksong

[opal geyser]

Relevant

[fleet temple]

what's that?

[fallow rock]

this channel goes off topic for any reason

[frank sparrow]

pft no one talks about silksong in this chat

[fleet temple]

well tbf they have been recently with tga

[misty shore]

Yeah

[normal token]

Ew

[spice wigeon]

Game award's will be the day mark my words

[misty shore]

At least got your clown makeup ready?

[fallow rock]

no

[fleet temple]

TGA is terrifying me

[misty shore]

I have my clown makeup. Im ready for either complete disappointment and getting clowned on, or celebrating in the clown costume

[fallow rock]

does anybody have any knowledge on tumor hornet

[dusty nimbus]

I won't need to, because after tga you will mark your word like CIA does with confidential information with a black marker

[signal crag]

Same
Good thing i can’t watch it

[fleet temple]

The worst part is I can watch it

[coarse leaf]

Swag

[signal crag]

Oh hey DDP!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

[misty shore]

YOOOOO DDP

[coarse leaf]

It has indeed

Far too long, but I did have a lot going on

Still excited for uhm..that one game, forgot that name

[signal crag]

Songsilk?

[obtuse glacier]

Silkmilk

[coarse leaf]

Apocalypse?

[misty shore]

I think it was called milkbong?

[coarse leaf]

probably yeah

[signal crag]

Oh well whatever
It will be announced at TGA anyway, so that’s cool right?

[obtuse glacier]

Is this your first time here or sumthn?

[coarse leaf]

might as well be

[coarse leaf]

oh sweet, whens that

[misty shore]

It could be announced at TGA. No real evidence.

[signal crag]

9 December

[coarse leaf]

aha, coolio

[misty shore]

I love thursdays

[coarse leaf]

same

[signal crag]

We have “some” “”evidence””, and that’s enough for me

[misty shore]

Ive got my clown suit at the ready just in case

[coarse leaf]

You can judge the SS community for much, but ye cant miss their dedication

[misty shore]

Yep

[coarse leaf]

Well hopefully, I'll take anything at this point, even though that sounds a bit hyperbolic

[burnt topaz]

Our dedication to following false leads

[coarse leaf]

Indeed

[misty shore]

Throughout these whole 2 years, I have thought about silksong every day.

[signal crag]

We suck so much at this

[burnt topaz]

If it's too believable we should assume it's fake

[normal token]

SS at TGA?

[misty shore]

Maybe

[signal crag]

That’s the hottest new one, yeah

[normal token]

I say no ss at tga

[misty shore]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coarse leaf]

what was the evidence for it in particular?

[signal crag]

Yeah, what is it?

[misty shore]

My mans already in the 5th stage of grief

[normal token]

I used to think ss at tga but no more

[burnt topaz]

There really isn't evidence, there wasn't any "evidence" before the hype train started. AFAIK it's just a meme

[coarse leaf]

oh

[burnt topaz]

The tga cult message has like a list of evidence I guess

[coarse leaf]

the who say what now

[signal crag]

Something something liked comment

[brittle garnet]

Well, there isn't evidence, but there are things which make people believe it
And, with how there's been no news for a year, almost anything will be enough to tip people over the edge

[coarse leaf]

i guess thats fair

[normal token]

I debunked em 😎

[coarse leaf]

the deboonker

[signal crag]

To be fair, that was more like “it could also just be like this instead” which is 100% valid, just not a “debunking” for my money

[burnt topaz]

They're all bs anyways, if you're looking for evidence you won't find any

[normal token]

I accept air strikes to my house if ss is at tga

[signal crag]

I’m still curious about the “2.5 years secret game”, since we have some evidence it can’t be Silksong

[coarse leaf]

bit of a specific punishment Pichu, but aight I guess

[brittle garnet]

But basically the "arguments" are:
Longer silence than before
Leth is silent and didn't debunk it
TC has been kinda active lately
TGA account liked a comment saying "SILK. SONG"
There's been a 4chan "leak" of TGA games which has Silksong on it (this one is the most bullshit)
Uhh I think that's all?

[scenic coral]

TGA is in 5 days

[normal token]

Ttacco already did it

[signal crag]

Also Leth didn’t really said much about the leaked date

[coarse leaf]

i see

[signal crag]

Something something “not much to say about it”

[coarse leaf]

trollface.jpeg

[modest night]

Leth hasnt been saying much at all on the server anyway

[misty shore]

I am the microwave.

[signal crag]

That was on twitter i think

[normal token]

On instagram

Yeah, somebody asked if Leth had anything to say about the leak and he responded with "Not really =)."

[signal crag]

So either it’s SO obvious it’s a placeholder nothing else needs to be said….
Or, you know

[modest night]

You know leths job is to keep people hyped

[burnt topaz]

Leth doesn't really have to do much in this case

[modest night]

Yeah which is why not saying anything probably is the way

[burnt compass]

Then why did he say something at E3

[coarse leaf]

good point

[brittle garnet]

Hype for E3 was very high

[burnt topaz]

When did he say it in relation to E3, time wise

[brittle garnet]

Like way higher than now

[modest night]

Idk bro its been a year saying something would be a nail in the coffin at this point

[coarse leaf]

yup

[brittle garnet]

I think it was like 2 weeks or something in advance

[burnt topaz]

Ah, well he also deconfirmed one of the directs like the day before iirc

[misty shore]

Hmm. Guess we must watch for the words of the mighty leth, or the lack-there-of

[modest night]

I mean there could be ss at tga

I just dont think we have any "evidence"

[misty shore]

Tbf, yeah. Everything is speculative at best.

[normal token]

I thought you said it won't happen

[misty shore]

But i still have hope

[modest night]

I believe it wont but realistically it could

[coarse leaf]

Don't we always

[burnt compass]

Hope is for the weak

[misty shore]

I will forever remain in the denial stage of grief

[burnt topaz]

How long until we become hopeless

[modest night]

Idk 5 days

[normal token]

You hope because you want SS
I don't hope because I want SS

We are not the same

[coarse leaf]

seeing as we have already been here for like 2-3 years or whatever, I dont think we'll ever give up

[misty shore]

We all have different ways of making it through this tough, newsless, time

[fiery coral]

why would we give up

it's not like SS not being at one event affects its chances of being in future events

[misty shore]

Yeah

[normal token]

I do admire the dedication of always hoping for SS

[bleak scarab]

or does it?

[coarse leaf]

Well that is true

But I also gambled a lot of money, and if i lose I'll have to move out

[fiery coral]

this TGA is honestly the first time I'm properly hopeful 🥴

[misty shore]

Lol gambling on silksong news. Might start doing that....

[normal token]

SS pessimists explaining why SS not being at 2018/2019 TGA means SS is never appearing at another event again

[coarse leaf]

dudes who bet on that magazine made lots and lots of cash

[burnt compass]

Take a shot every time we don’t get silksong news

[modest night]

Wait what the fuck are you fr ddp?

[coarse leaf]

no

[bleak scarab]

Man too bad your mom's gonna be alone

[normal token]

That's 338 shots

[coarse leaf]

but i could be

yeah whoever drinks that is dead

[misty shore]

Wasted

[normal token]

Why did you gamble in the first place

[coarse leaf]

fun of the game?

[upbeat marlin]

Deep dock ploretariat is that really you !!!!!

[coarse leaf]

it truly is
or was

[modest night]

Nah its not him

Obviously

[misty shore]

Sadge, but i respect your choice

[upbeat marlin]

I WAS A HUGE FAN OF YOUR WORK

[modest night]

Was smh ddp

[fiery coral]

it's clearly DeepDockProletarian, not DeepDockProletariat

[modest night]

Losing your fans

[fiery coral]

completely different!

[coarse leaf]

You mean my subpar videos Well thank you

[upbeat marlin]

Hey you and stizzl were the perfect tag team

[coarse leaf]

Indeed, we did have some good times in our youth

[upbeat marlin]

I loved your intro as well

[coarse leaf]

me too, me too...

[misty shore]

Ddp is like a seasoned veteran

[upbeat marlin]

[coarse leaf]

but best not crowd the chat, other people are looking for their definitely reasonable updates on SS news

[upbeat marlin]

Ok

[burnt compass]

In terms of news we have no news

[misty shore]

Yeah

[upbeat marlin]

So do you believe in the TGA cult

[coarse leaf]

i found out about it like 2 minutes ago, so uh...
nyes?

[misty shore]

For the memes, sure. But i aint saying its 100% certain

[upbeat marlin]

I'm hoping it's true but I've got my clown clothes at the ready

[stark estuary]

Don’t fall for their lies. They only make false promises.

[bleak scarab]

indeed don't fall for it

save yourself

[upbeat marlin]

Feb 1st it is

[coarse leaf]

false prophets you say

[misty shore]

Not prophets. Clowns. 🤡

[feral spruce]

Please silksong on 2022

[upbeat marlin]

Radiance music plays in the background

[frank sparrow]

join us hatter join us

[bleak scarab]

No! These are just mere hollow hopes

[misty shore]

But even hollow hope can keep one going

[frank sparrow]

join us hatter

[upbeat marlin]

We live in a society

[stark estuary]

Do not fall for the TGA Cult’s lies. They do not give those patiently waiting for Silksong "hope” as they claim. Hope was left behind in Pandora’s Box for a reason. Hornet has not been seen since July of 1988. Do not let the ignorance of the public allow the TGA Cult to proliferate.

[misty shore]

One day, silksong will release. That is the hope we can truly guarantee. That is the hope we use to go on. It is our life force.

[bleak scarab]

I will not fall for just mere empty promises. For I am proved wrong I shall join the cult under my own will.

[stark estuary]

You’re beyond saving... then...

[misty shore]

I dont need saving

(This feels like some kind of anime plot)

[stark estuary]

Fools, Blackwyrm will have your Souls.

[misty shore]

Blackwyrm is despair. Very nice metaphor.

[bleak scarab]

Fools indeed. They think they will see the light that is SilkSong.

[stark estuary]

I tried to seal the blinding light that plagued their dreams.

[frank sparrow]

i would never lead you astray my good friend join us

[upbeat marlin]

No cost too great

[stark estuary]

No mind to think

[bleak scarab]

You say that though I fear it is the hive talking, it is too late for you my friend..

[misty shore]

We are not vessels. We are the citizens of hallownest given thought by the pale kings light

[frank sparrow]

trust in me hatter silksong will be at TGA trust me

[spice wigeon]

Always

[bleak scarab]

I cannot just start believing because of trust. Only time shall tell whether you were wrong or I.

[misty shore]

Have it your way, hatter. We will see when the time comes.

[balmy pasture]

sources: trust me bro

[spice wigeon]

A guy on 4chan said it it must be true right guys?

[misty shore]

Right?

Watch as he miraculously not only has them right, but lists them in correct order of appearance

[spice wigeon]

That will be pog

[delicate flare]

[delicate flare]

Wont go too into it here but, look it up at risk of losing faith in humanity

[uncut citrus]

Checks out with my « hornet 1986 colorized »

[coarse leaf]

oh dear, thanks

[uncut citrus]

Wait I can’t send the gif I’m on mobile

[fiery coral]

[modest night]

You think ss would like to be associated with them? I mean its better than defending Activision ig

[coarse leaf]

True yeah

[modest night]

My faith into tga just dropped to below 0

[bleak scarab]

I see

[modest night]

But i mean i also guess an indie studio isnt really that related to it

But still

[fiery coral]

[bleak scarab]

[uncut citrus]

Ok I’m not sure this will work

One of the last time we saw hornet, in 1986

[bleak scarab]

Isn't this when she disappears into thin air

[misty shore]

Yes. Last she was seen. So sad.

[bleak scarab]

wrong bee

[dense anchor]

Feb 2019*

[bleak scarab]

I accidentally used happy bee

[fiery coral]

^us after SS is shown at TGA

[misty shore]

Youve seen hornet since 1986!!??

[bleak scarab]

The hope.. it blinds me..

[fiery coral]

[wanton eagle]

mods likes to talk in this channel

[dense anchor]

I mean, the last time for me is Feb 2019

[uncut citrus]

No she was last seen 2 years later

[misty shore]

This could really help with our missing persons case...

[uncut citrus]

This is the last vid we got of her tho

[dense anchor]

Yeah i think so, on You Tube if this can help

[uncut citrus]

Time goes too fast you haven’t realized but it’s been 34years

[dense anchor]

In addition, i think she was a part of a vaporware cast

[dense anchor]

Yeah, impressive as time goes by

[sinful flare]

it feels like 2 years of wait but it's actually 3 years of wait now

[uncut citrus]

As Kirb said she was last seen in 1988, but the 1986 gif is the last vid of her

[dense anchor]

im hopeless, in my discord is a meme since last year, when someone want to explain an uncertain date we have a sticker with SS

[sinful flare]

excellent

[sage glade]

context pilis?

[sinful flare]

shrompoge

[coarse leaf]

😂

[winged onyx]

When are these game awards everyone's talking about?

[burnt topaz]

9th dec

[modest night]

sexual harassment at activision

[balmy pasture]

isnt it 10th dec?

[sinful flare]

oh god

[burnt topaz]

Depends on timezones

Either late 9th or early 10th

[sinful flare]

either link wrong or outdated

[balmy pasture]

yes its 10th

[bleak scarab]

what.

[gusty stag]

If TGA is a wash, I will finally be empty of expectation and reach nirvana

[coarse leaf]

🙏

[bleak scarab]

MY NAME

WHO DID THIS???

Haha mods very funny

im changing it back

[sinful flare]

ttaco please disable his nick changing permissions and set his nickname to an optimistic hat for tga

[bleak scarab]

[sinful flare]

rage

[random fox]

an pessimistic

[bleak scarab]

wha

oh

[random fox]

Isnt it a and not an

[bleak scarab]

ur right

[random fox]

[modest night]

@fiery coral smh unique mod abuse

[bleak scarab]

Unique how could you

[peak stag]

hello

[normal token]

Some people refuse to hope for SS in TGA, so Unique forces them to

[modest night]

he can't force me

[bleak scarab]

I'm being held against my will send help please i'm at-

[modest night]

mod role so he can't change my name

[random fox]

What if he says please

[uncut citrus]

It’s too late

[peak stag]

i got a question about silksong, does it take place after HK or before?

[dusk badger]

good question

[bleak scarab]

It's obviously during

[dusk badger]

not controversial at all

[sinful flare]

@ unqnue you're actually megabased and not getting demoted :plaedi

[uncut citrus]

Everybody knows hornet lost herself going to the grave in Ashe

[peak stag]

so, we don't know?

[bleak scarab]

Yea, basically.

[nimble radish]

exactly

[sinful flare]

well! i trust graig and i think silksong is gonna release on 9090

[peak stag]

maybe it's before because at the first fight i think Hornet say she have come to late, maybe it's because she spend to much time in Pharloom?

[bleak scarab]

Hornet say's what in the first fight?

[fleet temple]

it was in the french translation I think

[bleak scarab]

Ohhh, I see.

[uncut citrus]

French translation is wrong

[peak stag]

i may be completely wrong but i think she said after we beat her that she came to late and the kingdom is in danger

[uncut citrus]

TC can’t speak French

[peak stag]

once again, i may say absolute garbage

[fleet temple]

Even if ss is a prequel, I doubt TC even remembered that line of dialogue when making it, so it probably isn't even evidence

[peak stag]

yep

[uncut citrus]

You could even use this as an argument against it, if TC removed it might be cause they realized it wouldn’t make sense since silkong is after, then they could have just removed it cause it was wrong and it has nothing to do with silksong

[peak stag]

hope silksong will come soon with answers

[uncut citrus]

I’ll get 14.250% today

[fleet temple]

[uncut citrus]

Hopefully

[fleet temple]

this is our TGA emote

[peak stag]

what's TGA?

[fleet temple]

The Game Awards

We think ss could be there

[peak stag]

when does it take place?

[dusk badger]

[fleet temple]

the 9th

[fleet temple]

might be different depending on time zone

[peak stag]

nice

[neat palm]

We need answers now if it's not at TGA, by any legal or illegal mechanism.

[fleet temple]

If you want to break into TC headquarters, I guess I can't stop you

[bleak scarab]

Just people blinded by hope.

[peak stag]

imagine if they say that it is almost finish

[neat palm]

I mean, if there's no solid news or release date at TGA, I would personally condone a TLoU2 style hack and leak.

[peak stag]

it's been how long since we know silsong exist?

[fleet temple]

I'm new to the cult

[neat palm]

Spoiler: Hornet bashes the Knight's skull in with a golf club before being taken away to the new kingdom.

[bleak scarab]

Yea, unless they don't even have Kevin Feige holding a gun up to their heads during interviews smh

That's how reliable they are

[peak stag]

seriously? at least it mean they work a lot on it

[nimble radish]

didn't they already give away too much during an interview
with the citadel not being the end and whatnot

[bleak scarab]

Yea, I know.

[coarse leaf]

TGA

[dusk badger]

is there a tga neutral cult

[nimble radish]

technically theres the ignore news and release and just discuss silksong

[bleak scarab]

It's join one or the other, you could try to build a neutral cult though.

[nimble radish]

we are still a cult I'm very clear on that basis

[dusk badger]

im unfit to lead

[fiery coral]

Nooo I've been unmasked

[bleak scarab]

We kind of just live in the shadows.

[nimble radish]

yeah I think it was in edge

[bleak scarab]

"If it weren't for these darn kids I would have succeeded!"

[fiery coral]

Yeah can't believe these children meddling where they shouldn't 👴 😠

[uncut citrus]

Unique unmasked: actually PK

[bleak scarab]

Buzzsaw?

[uncut citrus]

everytimes i hear "unmasked" i think about that video now

[worn terrace]

how much time we waited for subnautica below zero ?

but it came in anyways

now silksong will come too

just be patient

these were the last words of that annoying guy who never shuts up in disscord

[sinful flare]

play manifold gardens, baba is you, portal 2 or watch knives out while waiting for silksong

actually no dont do any of these

[dusty nimbus]

Unique is mask maker confirmed

[dusk badger]

bz was so not worth the wait. if you waited for 1.0

silksong will hopefully be different. almost certainly

[dusk holly]

Whan ss

[fleet temple]

Strangely enough, there are some comparisons to be made with the games

Both games we're fully unveiled in early 2019, both games take place in a different area with new creatures and mechanics, both were originally planned as dlc, both took over 2 years to come out, and both feature a voiced female protagonist unlike the previous installation

[coarse leaf]

both are games

[fleet temple]

yes

[coarse leaf]

both feature characters

[cerulean sable]

one of them will not release

[fleet temple]

good

[cerulean sable]

and its not silksong

[dusk holly]

I liked it

[coarse leaf]

both include visuals

[dusk badger]

wym

well at least silksong isnt early access.

[fleet temple]

true, Below zero didn't release, a game called below zero released, that game is not worhty of being a sequel to SN

[dusk badger]

thats completely true. what the hell uwe

[coarse leaf]

below zero was so boring compared to sub

[dusk holly]

I liked it

[fleet temple]

The story change is what killed it

[dusk badger]

#off-topic maybe?

[coarse leaf]

they should've kept the precursors an unknown and unknowable long dead race not a quirky robot horse man

[bleak scarab]

This is #off-topic 2.0

[dusk badger]

my bad

[coarse leaf]

this channel is off topic at this point

[fleet temple]

I think that stuff was fine, it was the sam stuff that they fucked up

[split tide]

there's probably only so much to talk about silksong

[dusk holly]

The only thing i didnt like was the ending

[normal token]

off-topic will probably be more restricted when we get news

[coarse leaf]

if

[sinful flare]

what

[normal token]

But if TC announces the release date then #off-topic is gonna be full of ss-discussion

[dusk badger]

such is the way of hype

[dusk holly]

Huh

[coarse leaf]

won't this place be full of ss discussion

[normal token]

True

[dusk holly]

Its what i thought

[normal token]

Let's all go talk about ss in #rules-and-info

[dusk badger]

sharky are you a thrasher sharj

[dusk holly]

Wait there are rules

[coarse leaf]

yea lmao good eye

[dusk holly]

I just saw a bunch of emots

[normal token]

When the ss trailer released, people talked about it in #off-topic

[dusk badger]

there wasnt a channel back then

[bleak scarab]

Did #sk-discussion exist then?

[dusk holly]

Was sd discusion even out back than

[pallid flare]

no

[normal token]

Nope, ss-discussion was supposed to be in #hk-discussion

[dusk holly]

What?

[normal token]

But then E3 came and that changed

[dusk holly]

But its not hollow knight

[fleet temple]

#art-discussion will be full of #sk-discussion when that happens

[bleak scarab]

I see, I'm honestly glad it got separated I probably wouldn't have met the now #sk-discussion regulars then.

[dusk holly]

Okay so the last boss in silk song will be called silk song

[radiant wraith]

Leaked!!

[bleak scarab]

A string quartet has instruments with the ability to manipulate it's surroundings and bugs around it.

[dusk holly]

I mean the gamę is called silk song and hollow knight last boss was hollow knight

[fleet temple]

It's gonna be a loooooong 4/5 and/or 6 days

[dusk holly]

Where else from did silk song name came for the game

[dusk badger]

you fight christopher larkin

[bleak scarab]

The true final boss

[radiant wraith]

You fight The Waiting

[dusk badger]

whats that

[radiant wraith]

jk, you fight Blackwyrm

[sinful flare]

you fight me

[radiant wraith]

Good question

[sinful flare]

in a punch fight

[dusk holly]

Ahhh you gonna beat a woman

[radiant wraith]

And how hard is that Kaan?

[dusk badger]

oh my b
did ogrim mention it alongside blackwyrm?

[radiant wraith]

Nono, it was a joke, unrelated to Blackwyrm

[sinful flare]

actually very easy

[radiant wraith]

I have a stick Kaan

[dusk badger]

what if they have a bat

in a punch fight

[sinful flare]

rage

[radiant wraith]

I will eat spinach before the fight then

[hollow smelt]

what they said also yeah this is offtopic 2 now, we talked about skylanders yesterday 😎

[sinful flare]

nope wrong this is ss discussion
soff stopic

[hollow smelt]

mm yes

[coarse leaf]

Yello

[burnt topaz]

🟡

[sinful flare]

\🟡

[burnt topaz]

How are you reddy

[coarse leaf]

doin good

this game coming feb 1st?

[hollow smelt]

Not certain

[coarse leaf]

Melk and i are making the cutscenes for hornetsong 1st ending

[hollow smelt]

there will most likely be news on the 10th

[burnt topaz]

Ooh

[coarse leaf]

why

[hollow smelt]

ayyy amina

[coarse leaf]

Well...melk does most of the work...no. all the work. i just gave some ideas

[hollow smelt]

TGA, cant you tell from the cult?

[burnt topaz]

The game awards but that also isn't certain

[split tide]

nothing is certain

[burnt topaz]

Yup basically

[split tide]

doubt everything

[coarse leaf]

roughly how many people ss believe isn't here before 2023

[split tide]

seriously though I'd recommend approaching unofficial news with caution

[hollow smelt]

itll prob release mid 2022 at latest

[burnt topaz]

What do you mean by unofficial news, like leaks and stuff because I agree

[coarse leaf]

U guyz wanna see the script?

[split tide]

yeah leaks

[hollow smelt]

we havent gotten news since last year so this would probably be their final push

[split tide]

especially unsourced stuff from 4chan and reddit

[hollow smelt]

i mean its speculation, nothings certain

[hollow smelt]

Im not going off of the 4chan thing, that came out like yesterday

[dusk badger]

speculation is fun

[coarse leaf]

is holiday season news and q1 2022 release a likely scenario

[hollow smelt]

theres enough pointers that there could be news

[hollow smelt]

Maybe idk

[burnt topaz]

I suppose, but the thing is we don't really know

[alpine basalt]

this is the thing. The speculative hype is so much for for communities

[coarse leaf]

If you guyz cant wait for silksong... we have another option

[alpine basalt]

play ori

[hollow smelt]

play ori will of the wisps

[dusk badger]

whats hornetsong

[hollow smelt]

good game definitely agree

[sinful flare]

:fan:

[dusk badger]

let me in on whats cooking in the fan game community

[coarse leaf]

Play hornerzong

[hollow smelt]

yeah hows the progress on hornetsong? will it be just the demo?

i assume so right?

[coarse leaf]

it will just be moss grotto

[hollow smelt]

i see

[burnt topaz]

Real hornetsong footage of hornet fighting a dragon
🐉

[coarse leaf]

With skills,abilities,secrets, 2 endings...maybe 3

[dusk badger]

will sans be there

[coarse leaf]

oh wait, you're the guy who's doing the thing

[sinful flare]

@coarse leafwhere do you acquire hornet's spritesheet

[burnt topaz]

Add in the sans sherma

[coarse leaf]

good luck and godspeed

[dusk badger]

sherma is probably the last guy i would pick to be sans

[burnt topaz]

I have a sans sherma drawing already

[dusk badger]

oh no

[coarse leaf]

And more...

[sinful flare]

(also

[coarse leaf]

From trailer and footage

[sinful flare]

waih uh
interesting

[burnt topaz]

How do you manage to add 2 endings with just what's in the trailers and demo and such, that's so impressive

[sinful flare]

make up endings

[coarse leaf]

we animate the endings

[coarse leaf]

exacly.

I have the script for 1st ending

[burnt topaz]

Yeah I know but the actual gameplay and areas don't leave too much for variety

[sinful flare]

hornet dies

[coarse leaf]

But i wont spoil it

[burnt topaz]

There's a 1/2000 chance of hornets needle killing her in the beginning

[coarse leaf]

SPOILER ||(that doesnt happen)||

[sinful flare]

hornet diesnt

[burnt topaz]

I ain't reading that

[coarse leaf]

Dont worry

[sinful flare]

spoiler i appear and death hornet

[coarse leaf]

So basicly we have good ending and bad ending

and the good ending requres going through those doors

those weaversong design doors

[sinful flare]

you get weaversong shadr

[burnt topaz]

I'm so excited for this

[coarse leaf]

wait is this silksong reimagined in a way that it ends in moss grotto or does the end imply hornet continues going deeper into pharloom

[coarse leaf]

https://youtu.be/pVchwu1PCH0 there is a sneak peak of whats behind that. 0:44 to be exact

[bleak scarab]

ooh

[wanton crest]

Everyone seems to think there is

[dusk badger]

there is a non zero possibility

[cerulean sable]

its not like we based an entire cult about it or anything

[dusk badger]

smh

[brittle garnet]

maybe Graig's game will be at TGA

[radiant wraith]

Haha it's a joke thing.... unless...

I want to see that other game by the creators of Rain World there but it's super unlikely

[modest night]

what other game

[dusk badger]

the signal game?

[radiant wraith]

Yes the banger signals game

[radiant wraith]

They are working on something they haven't really showed yet

[dusk badger]

we do know it has some banger tunes

[brittle garnet]

new game from Rain World makers? Oh damn, didn't know about that

[modest night]

what's the name i meant

[dusk badger]

there is none yet

[radiant wraith]

We don't know

[modest night]

what the fuck

[dusk badger]

[radiant wraith]

They just showed some cryptic vids with soundtrack

[modest night]

hmmmm

[dusk badger]

yep :)

[modest night]

3d

this is so sad

[radiant wraith]

And they said they'd stop being cryptic relatively soon... 4 months ago

[dusk badger]

hey that doesn't exclude the game possibly being 2d

[radiant wraith]

I guessed now would be soon enough?

[dusk badger]

it would

[modest night]

idk all the videos are in 3d

[radiant wraith]

But TGA feels very unlikely

I have no problem with 3D

[modest night]

i like it less than 2d

[brittle garnet]

it really depends

[modest night]

and i think rain world's ambience is 90% its artstyle

[brittle garnet]

3D can be used to achieve many experiences impossible with 2D

[modest night]

yeah 3d is great for lets say puzzle games

[short wagon]

Today is another silksong free day

[modest night]

or stuff that requires you to interact a lot with your surroundings

[brittle garnet]

Monster Hunter for example would be impossible in 2D

[dusk badger]

what if it's VR

[coarse leaf]

Ah yes, a 2d/3d platformer in VR

[radiant wraith]

Anyways I hope for Videocult news soon

[dusk badger]

we're not talking ss rn

[coarse leaf]

Since when SS is 3D tho?

[uncut citrus]

Silksong is free today? damn imma get it rn!

[coarse leaf]

You wish!

[brittle garnet]

it's just that 3D is prone to lazy design and art direction because it's so much harder to account for everything

[radiant wraith]

Abzu and Journey, beautiful beautiful games would not work in 2D. It is more effort as you said

[coarse leaf]

I mean, not every 3D game have a lazy art direction

[brittle garnet]

I didn't say that

[modest night]

yeah i don't see 3d games looking good or having a strong artistic style often

when they do it's cool but when they don't eh

[brittle garnet]

it's because of trying to simulate realism

[dusk badger]

do signals not look good? they're really stylish imo

[brittle garnet]

it'll never look perfect enough

[radiant wraith]

It's easier to have an artstyle on 2D

[cerulean sable]

quake had a really good artstyle and that was in 3d

i dont see the problem here

[radiant wraith]

How can you have something like Celeste or even something like Hollow Knight in 3D

[coarse leaf]

I mean, you can't really make a 3D game with pixel art

[brittle garnet]

have you seen Deep Rock Galactic? That game has a very strong and effective artstyle in 3D, you might like it

[radiant wraith]

It's hard

That's what I'm saying

[dusk badger]

minecraft is literally nothing but pixel art

[modest night]

i haven't

[cerulean sable]

Deep Rock seriously needs to invest in better equipment

[coarse leaf]

I mean, HK would be possible in 3D, but it would be a lot different from the original

[brittle garnet]

I'm gonna punch the guy in R&D that programmed Molly

[radiant wraith]

And very very hard to pull off

[modest night]

idk there is just something about 3d that makes me less enthusiastic

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, you would basically need to redesign every single world and enemy placement

And yet try to make it unique

[dusk badger]

that's okay sonia. maybe you're right to be cautious

[radiant wraith]

I think they could end up making something really unique

[modest night]

rain world really nailed the unique artstyle to talk about good 2d games

[coarse leaf]

I love both 3D & 2D games, but I think a lot of 2D games are really underpriced compared to some 3D ones

[modest night]

like holy shit i don't think ive seen it in any other game and it looks great, i just wish the environment was more varied sometimes

[coarse leaf]

This game is really hard?

[modest night]

not really

[dusk badger]

why do people say that

[coarse leaf]

I always saw people talking about how brutal this game is or something like that

[modest night]

it's not hard when you actually start to kill things

[dusk badger]

it's actually pretty chill. though it certainly CAN get intense

[modest night]

but yeah i made survivor a lot harder for myself than i would have if i actually used rocks or spears better

and also if i didn't accidentally go from outskirts to drainage system to filtration system on my first playthrough and got stuck there 🥴

[brittle garnet]

Oh yeah, Rain World was fucking beautiful
I'll never forget the scene of the Wall and the Exterior, and the city and the other Iterators in the distance, above the clouds

[radiant wraith]

This happened to me

[nimble steppe]

[radiant wraith]

It was horrible

[nimble steppe]

Good to see more slugcats

[modest night]

oh yeah i never saw the wall on my first playthrough because i was too small brain to remember which pipe i came from

and just went all the way back from five pebbles to the leg

[radiant wraith]

The leeches...

Spoilers?

[coarse leaf]

This art style gives me vibes of Papers Please

[modest night]

we're not in a rain world discord so eh

i don't really care

[alpine basalt]

Super meat boy x papers please

[modest night]

that's a low quality screenshot wtf

[coarse leaf]

I don't have a HD one, so meh

[pallid flare]

crunchy

[modest night]

[coarse leaf]

But another games that I also love it's art-style are: Spelunky 2, Celeste and Hades

[brittle garnet]

I don't think I will ever love a game's artstyle more than Hollow Knight's, Rain World's and Gigantic's

[modest night]

yeah

it's very good

[lament lotus]

what game is this
rain world?

[modest night]

ye

[coarse leaf]

No, it's HK 2

[lament lotus]
