[coarse leaf]

🗿

[brazen needle]

dude it was a joke

[coarse leaf]

yes, they are

[tame widget]

I've just thought about something,

The Placeholder Silksong release date from geforce was made by TC, right?

So it mean that, maybe, eventually, in the best timeline, the true release date might not be so far from the placeholder date

[versed pollen]

Well, the steam placeholder date was like 2 years ago

[brazen needle]

yeah. that

[signal crag]

It is confirmed it was made by TC?

[tame widget]

I don't know, but if it was.

[drowsy isle]

Yeah meth said they chose it because it was the switch release date or something

Haha line

[digital glen]

This line will form the TC logo

So maybe Hornet herself created team cherry

[keen forum]

Leth is Hornet confirmed

[sinful flare]

and mario witnessed her creating team cherry

[agile kelp]

So silksong is a autobiography?

[digital glen]

Maybe

[sinful flare]

why is mario in silksong trailer

[agile kelp]

Then whats hk?

[digital glen]

Mario is already confirmed for ss

This is why we were waiting for Chis Pratt to anounce the next trailer

[agile kelp]

Because luigi is in hk

What would be the best announcement related to ss?

[slow heart]

🍖🍴

[tame widget]

Release date

[digital glen]

For me would be only the realese date and not much else, going blind as posible would be the best

[shell yacht]

all console simultaneous release

[digital glen]

Oh yeah that would be great also

[small goblet]

release date

[timber meteor]

Best announcement would be that silksong is cancelled and then we can finally go rest

[small goblet]

🩸

[digital glen]

They said that they didnt talk about another platforms release is because is only the three of them, so its a bit time consuming

Waiting for the PSP release

& That's why Zoteboat exist

fiery soul gang here?

[languid linden]

It was funded, just not through Kickstarter

[digital glen]

But just the tought of fighting Dryya gets me excited, a fight nail to nail would be so cool

TC did her dirty

[small goblet]

that's why pale court is being developed

[full rune]

dryya fight is pretty fun

[small goblet]

also considering she's fucking dead

[full rune]

she's pretty hard ascended though

[digital glen]

I guess Ogrim and Hegemol are retired

That is if Hegemol is even alive

[languid linden]

Probably not

His exoskeleton got removed so...

[craggy turtle]

his armor =/= his exoskeleton

[tawdry valley]

Hedgemol was either always a maggot, always tiny, is now a headless corpse being piloted by a maggot, or dead/alive and naked somewhere else in Hallownest while the scum of the kingdom voodoo his armor in a box.

[craggy turtle]

uhhhh do you mean hegemol

[tawdry valley]

Yes. That’s what I said

[craggy turtle]

thonk

[brazen needle]

nah dude its hedge mole

[craggy turtle]

Hedgemol- Great Knight of the Mosskin

[tawdry valley]

I expect nothing more from the pale court dev team besides a 20 page essay debunking and concluding on one of these theories to explain their choice in theory, prior to using one of them as the basis for their combat

[tame widget]

Plot twist: this is Hegemol

[craggy turtle]

amazing.

imagine hegemol flying with 2 inch long wings in his massive suit of armor

[high hedge]

Hegemol really lost weight

Lookin good

What's that from

[craggy turtle]

cut npc, featured in a trailer iirc

[tame widget]

I mean, controlling a big armor when you're a little fly is good to lose some weigh

From this old concept art

[craggy turtle]

me and the dreamer chilling in dirtmouth

[brittle garnet]

My headcanon is that Hegemol's armor is like a mech suit and Hegemol himself was tiny

[high hedge]

The bois

[brittle garnet]

That's why the Maggot could control the armor

[craggy turtle]

hegemol was a lifeseed

[high hedge]

I assumed the other maggots were just controlling the limbs

[craggy turtle]

so like, 12 maggots in a trench coat but armor?

[high hedge]

Essentially

[craggy turtle]

[nimble radish]

the obvious explanation is that maggots have telekinesis because why not

[coarse leaf]

Hornet & Hornet with different color in Silksong??

[tame widget]

Hornet in Smash bros

[coarse leaf]

Blue Hornet, Red Hornet, Yellow Hornet, Green Hornet, those are the characters that will allow you to play 4 players co-op in SS.

[amber geyser]

@tropic nova New Silksong gameplay just dropped

[chilly nexus]

did you guys see that Sly was being added as a playable character in HK?

[coarse leaf]

It would be weird tbh

[chilly nexus]

even his movement abilities center around his pogo stick of a nail, it's nifty

[coarse leaf]

I started playing Blasphemous after hating it because i thought it was too dificult and I'm loving it just saying 👀

[digital glen]

I would like to do those across the screen dash slashes

[coarse leaf]

Blasphemous looks gorgeous, I need to try it out at some point

Its Spanish based so 👀 very proud of my country for making such good games

[tropic nova]

You almost got me man 😁

[small goblet]

well hornet has cloak in her inventory so...

[digital glen]

If hollow knight was launched in the 2000's, there would be a flash game were you could swap the knights clothes

[stoic path]

Well mods exist

[tawdry valley]

Wrong, I blocked them all

[pale bolt]

customhornet mod

[unique pawn]

If we dont get any silksong related news soon i will put my baldurs in yo jaws

[tight linden]

Throwback to all the people who hated the idea of hornet changing cloak colors in game when the only decent argument is the cinematics being more complex

[pale bolt]

lol

[chilly nexus]

I still am in the boat of favouring a non-colour-changing-cloak because the red is synonymous with hornet at this point :p

changing the colour would be like brand dismemberment

[dusty nimbus]

It would be cool if you have different skins

[cunning geode]

Download skin mods

done

[chilly nexus]

ye

[pale bolt]

I'd rather it stays the same color throughout the game and maybe change once you finish it or something. But the cinematics being complex is a dumb argument

[primal oriole]

paint your entire shell different colour like Ogrim

[tame widget]

Grown up Knight, here I come

[dusty nimbus]

I have already done that

[tame widget]

Hornet with a Lace Cloak

[digital glen]

Maybe Silksoul mode could have some minor differences in visual

But i dont think so

I wonder if Silksoul mode would work like a hard mode or something more complex

[tame widget]

What do you think will happened if we die in Silksoul alongside having a permanent game over?

[small goblet]

tc told it will be more complex than just "no die pls"

[digital glen]

Change some itens and enemies locations to make more interesting

I doubt that actually

[tame widget]

No needle upgrades nor tools

[brittle garnet]

I think that Silk Soul will not have permadeath

[cunning geode]

Restricting abilities would be boring

[digital glen]

Yeah but you dont need an extra mode to do that

[cunning geode]

for the entire game

[high hedge]

Permadeath works so well for a challenge though

[brittle garnet]

I think Silk Soul might be some kinda of crucial change to the way the game is played

[digital glen]

I guess Stealsoul doesnt need either

[brittle garnet]

Permadeath is super boring though

doesn't add anything

[small goblet]

maybe something like silk bar restriction to 33/50%, crest slots cut down by 50% and all that stuff

[tame widget]

Wonder if there will be rancid eggs or someone where you can get you cocoon back

[brittle garnet]

I don't think you will have a need to get the cocoon back

[digital glen]

Do you guys used rancid eggs more than 5 times?

[tame widget]

I used one once

[digital glen]

Yeah i used once also

[brittle garnet]

from what's been implied so far it seems like you don't get anything back from your cocoon, except for just refilling your spool

[small goblet]

yeah it only contains silk not money right?

[tame widget]

Your silk bar get filled

[brittle garnet]

yeah but you also don't lose anything on death except for money

and it's been implied you can't get it back

[tame widget]

You only keep shell shards & Rosaries strings I think

[small goblet]

talking about silk bar - hope in bossfights it doesn't come down to strat like "firstly die once and only then start learning patterns"

[normal token]

What if we get a specter of torment ng+ like

[digital glen]

I dont think its worth the work

[normal token]

Silk and masks being combined to one

[sage glade]

yep, same, just once

[brittle garnet]

I had the same idea, but I'm not sure how that would work

what would binding do, then?

[small goblet]

it was too late to use eggs when i lost total of like 20-25k geo (in 2 deaths, each one for like 10-15k)

[coarse leaf]

there would be no binding

[normal token]

Like the will skull, nothing

[brittle garnet]

yeah, but then what about tools and crests which affect binding?

[normal token]

Like the will skull, useless

[coarse leaf]

they would be replaced with other tools and crests, exclusive to ng+ only if its worth the effort

[brittle garnet]

seems fair enough
I don't know anything about this skull or whatever because I haven't played SoT

[coarse leaf]

i hope tc makes ss ng+ more interesting than steel soul

[digital glen]

I remember i lost of money in that path you need to do to get to Sheo, my shade was camping the land spot

Imagine HK NG+, just run straight to the black egg temple

[brittle garnet]

but if your Silk and Masks were the same, then how could healing work?

it wouldn't just be 1:1, of course

[normal token]

You heal by gaining silk

[brittle garnet]

maybe like a threshold? You need X hits to refill a mask?

[normal token]

If silk goes 0 you die

[coarse leaf]

i thought you meant no masks

yeah what pichu said

[brittle garnet]

yeah but like
how would the HUD look like, for example?
Would the meter and hp bar get merged, or would they stay separate?

[coarse leaf]

i was thinking more of: if you use up all silk by using spells, then a hit from enemy kills you

[digital glen]

I hope SS has more places like White Palace, but with no pogo, i dont know if it is gonna be as fun as in HK

[brittle garnet]

it has a different pogo
So platforming segments like that would have more momentum

[tight linden]

Would work if you don’t think beyond PC

[marsh ibex]

falss

[digital glen]

Yeah, you have the down strike and the "silk graple" but those look more straight foward

[marsh ibex]

just make the mods switch

To the Switch

[dusty nimbus]

Or just don't buy a switch

[coarse leaf]

Irrelevant advice

[small goblet]

zamn

[trim estuary]

Regular is relative

[small goblet]

in universe terms once a year is regular as fuck

[formal karma]

they are regular, they're not super-updates....

[tame widget]

One day maybe, one day

[formal karma]

one certainly, one day

[trim estuary]

That day comes in 3

[stoic path]

I feel like if TC exhales an update, Twitter would crash

[timber meteor]

Are you trying to imply silksong won't come out until the universe ends

[small goblet]

well umm...

[tame widget]

if by the greatest of luck, we get news before the end of the year, I'll be satisfied

[formal karma]

that seems...... unlikely?

[trim estuary]

3

[timber meteor]

best case scenario, ergo it probably won't happen lol

[tame widget]

Why in 3 days?

[fresh zodiac]

i just have good vibes for next year🤡

[brittle garnet]

there'd probably have to be a pretty good reason for no update in an entire year

[fierce seal]

Minutes until pizza arrives

[tame widget]

Maybe they just take all of their time " finishing " the game

[trim estuary]

10?

[formal karma]

that's honestly likely, only they keep on adding things

[timber meteor]

Then comes 2024 when silksong finally reveals its release date

[formal karma]

oof

[fresh zodiac]

Oof

[true vine]

oof

[tame widget]

But I feel it, 2022 is the year

[brittle garnet]

seems likely...?

[timber meteor]

funny

[brittle garnet]

I'm just gonna wait and see
||it definitely releases on Christmas||

[formal karma]

every year is likely, every year is also unlikely

[coarse leaf]

2020 seemed likely back in 2019 so yeah

[true vine]

replace "2022" with 2021 and you get nostalgia

[formal karma]

it didn't, though

[tame widget]

Let's pray

[brittle garnet]

ye but with each year that passes, the likelihood increases

[true vine]

this is depressing

[timber meteor]

Marcoos should be fine with silksong 2022/23/24 then as well, going by that statement haha

[brittle garnet]

rushed game is always bad
HK was rushed

[coarse leaf]

hk was bad

[timber meteor]

lol

[formal karma]

i feel like a lot of normies were turned off of HK, though, with some of the design choices

[brittle garnet]

yeah

[grim forge]

The same people who didn't like HK are in my experience the same type of people who don't like dark souls

[brittle garnet]

I don't like DS but I liked HK

[grim forge]

What got you into HK over DS?

[warm bone]

dumb souls

[brittle garnet]

HK has the best atmosphere I've seen in a game
great art, music, exploration

[normal token]

I never played DS

[obsidian juniper]

Dark sus

[feral tusk]

I had only ever heard of hollow knight and decided to play it blind

[brittle garnet]

I didn't like DS because the difficulty was just too punishing, and I absolutely HATED having to re-fight my way through an entire area after dying

[feral tusk]

So glad i did it blind

[dusty nimbus]

Yeah, it is

[grim forge]

Which dark souls did you play?

[brittle garnet]

1 and 3

[grim forge]

Nice

[brittle garnet]

didn't finish either tho

[grim forge]

I actually find that interesting since the reasons you gave for liking and disliking both games could easily apply to either game so I wonder where dark souls didn't click for you

[brittle garnet]

it's kinda sad because I really like the idea of Dark Souls, I like the music, bosses and lore, and weapons/combat
I just don't like constantly struggling for my life 🥴

[rocky island]

well tbf the two have completely different gameplay

[formal karma]

even though they're bangers, ds3 is kinda lame cause all you need to do is dodge roll...

[stoic path]

Ah yes, 2022
BoTW 2, Elder Ring, Crowsworn...
And hopefully, Silksong

[torpid ridge]

I've never tried a Dark Souls game.

[warm bone]

better than turtling

[formal karma]

no way crowsworn is 2022

[grim forge]

Yeah dark souls is wayyy slower 🥴

[stoic path]

Really?

[brittle garnet]

yeah, no way

[rocky island]

DS3 is kinda lame in general imo

[formal karma]

100% sure they estimated dec 2023

[silver oak]

Crowsworn is like 99.99999% coming after Silksong

[formal karma]

ESTIMATED

[brittle garnet]

so it'll probably release in 2024

[formal karma]

not sure that even accounts for the dlc

[stoic path]

I thought it was late 2022, my bad

[lone elbow]

Dark Souls 3 was a great game

[rocky island]

DS3 has a lot of good moments but it just doesn't feel very cohesive

[formal karma]

or...... extra content, i don't remember that kickstarter anymore

[burnt topaz]

In what universe is the 0.00001%

[warm bone]

I wonder if anyone who was put off by the ds games will try elden ring

[silver oak]

They've only started really working on the game in the last few months, compared to SS which has had full development for over 2 years

[stoic path]

In schrodinger's dead cat's universe

[silver oak]

idk, some universe where CS is super rushed or SS is cancelled

[rocky island]

the open world aspect will probably encourage people to try it I'd imagine

[grim forge]

I've kinda got the general sentiment that people didn't really like dark souls 3

[warm bone]

yeah the openess really makes it have a different feel

plus it seems so creative compared to ds3

[brittle garnet]

Dark Souls 3 was kind of fundamentally different from Dark Souls 1
in the world design

[rocky island]

I mean I liked it but the game almost felt like an unfinished prototype.

[silver oak]

96% positive on steam

[warm bone]

yeah people really liked ds3

[grim forge]

I mean like from the hardcore dark souls audience

[brittle garnet]

Dark Souls 3 was about 100% an improvement in everything except for the world design

[grim forge]

Because I either hear the least about it compared to the others or that it wasn't as good

[silver oak]

89 on metacritic, both critics and audience

[rocky island]

well even the hardcore fans enjoyed the game, but many don't think it was as good as the first.

[warm bone]

the hardcore ds fans liked it too

[grim forge]

Maybe I've just been seeing a very small minority then

[rocky island]

DS2 is the one most people hate, and even then people are pretty fond of it

[warm bone]

it just did not have the interconnectivity of the first one, whitch put some people off

[lone elbow]

Dark Souls 3 also plays way smoother than the other 2 games

[warm bone]

yeah the loudest people are rarely the majority

[rocky island]

DS2? for sure. DS1? not really.

[lone elbow]

Controls in DS1 and 2 aren't nearly as responsive

[grim forge]

I still need to beat DS1

[brittle garnet]

DS3 has a lot of improvements to combat, the combat is the best in it.

[rocky island]

bruh what games have people been playing

why do people say DS1 was unresponsive

[grim forge]

I've quit 3 different times after getting the Lord vessel for no reason

[warm bone]

yeah ds3 has by far the best combat

[sinful pebble]

SS when?

[warm bone]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

Reminder: The latest news for both Hollow Knight and Silksong is in #hk-announcements.
Check the pinned messages for more information, including a FAQ.

[rocky island]

I disagree on the combat

I think they made it too fast compared to the first game

[brittle garnet]

that's personal taste

[warm bone]

yeah its all preference

[sinful pebble]

Nah it’s so much smoother

[lone elbow]

And that's why it feels more responsive

[grim forge]

It feels more like Bloodborne and for me that isn't a complaint

[sinful pebble]

Especially than ds2

[brittle garnet]

if you like slower and methodical, that's fine
but 3's combat is objectively much smoother than the others'

[lone elbow]

DS1 feels clunky as fuck. You get locked into animations for so long with most weapons

[rocky island]

they aren't really that long, what?

[sinful pebble]

I like ds3 more than ds2 and blood borne, bb is just too frantic and unpredictable

[rocky island]

they're more than manageable imo

[lone elbow]

Compared to DS3?

[grim forge]

I wouldn't say getting locked into animations to punish you for mistiming "clunky"

[rocky island]

faster doesn't mean smoother imo

[warm bone]

https://youtu.be/ltvb25yzFm4\

[jade canopy]

Yeah I personally loved the well Metroidvania aspect of ds1 which never came back, I guess corridor’s are easier to make than like interconnected maps

[grim forge]

Dark Souls 1 is just played very differently than 3 and even 2

[sinful pebble]

The hitboxes on ds3 are godly

[jade canopy]

Metroidvania in sense of opening shortcut

[rocky island]

tbf DS2 was fairly open from what I remember.

[warm bone]

let's hope elden ring's open world allows for more interconnectivity

[junior nexus]

It has been 1038 days since the announcement

[brittle garnet]

combat in 3 is objectively more polished than 1 and 2's

[rocky island]

I think it was only DS3 that was really linear

[lone elbow]

It's faster and smoother

[brittle garnet]

i agree that DS1 was really the only truly non-linear one

[rocky island]

again, I disagree. It's faster, but tbh I wouldn't say its more polished

[brittle garnet]

why is that? What makes it less polished than 1?

[grim forge]

I am fresh off the heels of that game and it is barely less linear than dark souls 3

[jade canopy]

It has a big hub, but after that it’s corridor into corridor into corridor with sometime a bigger room that just has 1 exit

[rocky island]

I never said it was less polished, just that it wasn't more polished

[lone elbow]

I mean you can definitely say that but you'd be wrong.

[normal token]

Let's make it 2000

[grim forge]

You have options of where to go first but every single area is just a straight shot through a series of places to a boss then you go back and take a different path

[rocky island]

wrong by what standard exactly?

[brittle garnet]

if it isn't more polished, then it's either equally as polished or less polished, there is no in-between

[rocky island]

yeah but again, you claimed that I said it was less polished, which is not true.

[brittle garnet]

fair

[lone elbow]

Objectively wrong. :P

[marsh ibex]

Ture

[lone elbow]

That's the standard

[grim forge]

I would say it's polished in a different area

[marsh ibex]

argument invalid because I have found a spelling mistake

Now you shall be banned

Goodbye

[true vine]

[coarse leaf]

how do i get an orange name 🙂

[grim forge]

DS3 combat is more about the speed and flow when DS1 combat is more about being slow and strategical

[marsh ibex]

When mod apps open in a day

[fiery coral]

#ss-disc please don't discuss Dark Souls you're distracting me from my work here

[marsh ibex]

What work

playing badba is you?

[fiery coral]

trying to get a project done

no!

[normal token]

Hey do yall like dark souls

[fiery coral]

not at 1 AM

[grim forge]

Yes

[silver oak]

ok ok ok unique

[marsh ibex]

cringe

[silver oak]

I have to thank you

[fiery coral]

[rocky island]

tbh I think I might consider DS3 less polished DS1 relatively speaking because I'm starting to feel as if other games approached fast-paced combat better.

[silver oak]

You said to use QS/DS for Absrad and I did and beat her on my first attempt

[fiery coral]

YEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[silver oak]

It was honestly a little funny

[jade canopy]

DS ?

[grim forge]

I would say between DS3, Bloodborne and Sekiro which all go for faster combat 3 definitely is the weakest

[fiery coral]

QF/DF, he means

[fiery coral]

agreed

[silver oak]

Yeah idk where the S came from

[rocky island]

QF/DF? QS/DS? What?

[fiery coral]

but to be fair Bloodborne combat was different from Souls combat

[sinful flare]

quick focus/deep focus
quickslash/don't starve

[silver oak]

Quick Focus/Deep Focus

[fiery coral]

or at least it felt like it

[grim forge]

Yeah and so was sekiro

[jade canopy]

You can indeed get a lot of heals during absrad

[rocky island]

I've only played a bit of Bloodborne but from what I've played I kinda agree

[silver oak]

I've been struggling with her for like 5 months, and then I switch up my charms once and beat her immediately

[rocky island]

ah

[lone elbow]

I've never played Bloodborne because no Playstation. :(

[brittle garnet]

fuck exclusives

[grim forge]

But honestly comparing sekiro combat to any other from soft game is kinda like apples and oranges 🥴

[rocky island]

you could always just use PSNow

[trim estuary]

Aren’t they making a PC port?

[lone elbow]

I played DS 1 2 and 3 without parrying ever.

Parrying*

Sekiro doesn't let you do that

[silver oak]

Dark souls is serious business

[trim estuary]

Parry this, you filthy casual

[grim forge]

Which is why it's probably the most difficult

[silver oak]

No partying allowed

[rocky island]

maybe, but maybe not considering Demon's Souls isn't on PC either.

[grim forge]

I wanna play demon's souls

[coarse leaf]

With pleasure!

[sinful flare]

Shut up

[coarse leaf]

@Exclusives

Wya?

[coarse leaf]

No u

[trim estuary]

Herrah doesn’t seem very exclusive

wait what

[coarse leaf]

[trim estuary]

FOOL WHAT

[stiff owl]

[warm bone]

subscription service + 30 fps + streaming + no dlc

[rocky island]

never said it would be good, but it's an option (also wtf there's no dlc?)

[warm bone]

not if you stream it using psnow

[rocky island]

bruh

I need a PS4/PS5

I've literally had to play Bloodborne using PSNow

it's kinda miserable tbh

[sage glade]

in sekiro, you can

[warm bone]

I would not reward their anti consumer practices by buying a product from them, but that's just me

[rocky island]

I mean yeah but I have to pay them in order to play their exclusives or just their games in general

[trim estuary]

Can you believe it guys? Silksong, just a week away. Silksong is in a week! Woohoo! I am so happy about this information. Silksong! Just a week away, oh wow. Can you believe it? Silksong! Just in a week! It got here so fast! Silksong! Just a week away!

[warm bone]

do you really

[rocky island]

yes, I'm too lazy to research how to pirate lol

[trim estuary]

Yeah just pirate it lol

[warm bone]

understandable

[trim estuary]

Just get a PS emulator and get the rom or whatever the heck Bloodborne uses off of Reddit

[sage glade]

there is no ps4 emulator (or one that can play bloodborne at least)

[rocky island]

it's an iso (I think maybe idk but its definitely not a rom)

[trim estuary]

dang

[warm bone]

they're all called roms

[rocky island]

wait really?

[warm bone]

at least colloquially, of course they are all different file types

[rocky island]

oh

[sage glade]

i prefer the term video game

[silver oak]

l Iike video games

There's this one called Hollow Knight, don't know if you would've heard of it

[rocky island]

oh I've played it, it's just some shitty Dark Souls ripoff. Nothing to get worked up about.

[trim estuary]

There’s another called Steamworld Dig 1/2

[sage glade]

has anyone tried to rip the moss grotto ost from the demo videos?

[silver oak]

it's been reconstructed in a few places I think

[sage glade]

[silver oak]

here's a good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmrjfF3ASyM

[sage glade]

thanks

[silver oak]

not taken from the demo but it's a very close representation

[coarse leaf]

nice to know bryan cranston is a hk fan

[coarse leaf]

I played the first one, it's really good, but I stopped playing it for months and when I tried to continue my journey, I just forgot every control and what I needed to do, so

[sinful flare]

i have, but i'm more into silksong

[median basin]

im confused on how someone got the info on skipping lace which is in this meme when i dont think silksong is out yet

[floral kindle]

It's true

[hollow terrace]

the same reason the elden ring subreddit had boss tips before the gameplay reveal

[median basin]

i have no clue what elden ring is

[desert basin]

dark souls

[median basin]

i have heard of it but dont play it so idk

[timber meteor]

people have become so starved that they are hallucinating that silksong has already come out

[median basin]

thats a resonable explanation

[opaque sigil]

It's made up

[grim forge]

Everyone on that subreddit is going insane

[median basin]

ah

i see

[serene chasm]

Lace skip is really hard to pull off.

[dusty nimbus]

I know, right

Like why did they deem it should be that hard

[serene chasm]

Ive done it twice, but I dont speedrun so Its not worth going for every playthough. Lace is a fun boss anyways

[median basin]

w h a t

[serene chasm]

Lace is a fun boss.

[dusty nimbus]

I'm jealous

[serene chasm]

I know its an unpopular opinion, but yes, I liked fighting lace

[tough raft]

But that's because ER had a huge CNT in which many others had the chance to play

[desert basin]

Yeah, I would do the skip more often but not doing lace locks you out of mecha-zote later on and I love that fight

[hollow terrace]

im talking about before the close network test

[tough raft]

Oh

[serene chasm]

Mecha zote is what GPZ should have been

[tough raft]

I'm dumb

[opaque sigil]

Imagine reading a message before replying to it

[serene chasm]

I dont have time to read

[median basin]

is there a demo for silksong?

[tough raft]

😶

[median basin]

im actually confused

[hollow terrace]

no playable demo

[sinful flare]

yeah, only people of nintendo treehouse can play it

[median basin]

well

[tough raft]

Has this been posted?

[sinful flare]

possibly

[median basin]

how do you have footage of silksong?

[verbal trench]

probably

[opaque sigil]

smh not even using the actual image itself

[desert basin]

[median basin]

ima check if its out yet

[tough raft]

Mines from the silksong edge magazine

[opaque sigil]

So is mine

[sinful flare]

Smh not proper screenshotting ..

[opaque sigil]

Mine is just the actual image

[tough raft]

😔

[median basin]

im too confused

[surreal crown]

From the edge magazine

[serene chasm]

There are screenshots from the EDGE article that came out a year ago. That is what is being posted. There is no secret demo

[verbal trench]

silksong may or may not have grass, just a warning guys

[drowsy isle]

oh yeah HollowKnightMemes is doing this thing where they pretend silksong exists

I hate HKM so much it's so fucking unfunny

[surreal crown]

I dunno. It's better than complaining that the game isn't out yet.

[sinful flare]

i'm glad i almost never visit hkm

[serene chasm]

Good. HKM is the worst part of the HK fanbase

[median basin]

i do visit hkm for the occasional good memes they sometimes have

[serene chasm]

"occasional" "good"

[coarse leaf]

There's something worse than the HK community in gaming event's chat?

[drowsy isle]

i'm not saying pretending the game is out is unfunny i'm saying the subreddit as a whole is very unfunny

[surreal crown]

Absolutely true

I have Graig as a discord friend. I don’t know if I’m legally allowed to talk to him about literally anything

Asking him the release date won't work for he does not know it

You can have him friended. And you can talk to him. But don’t talk to him for information about Silksong

Imagine if they put in an ant colony in ss

That was the groundrule generally

[dusk badger]

at least we have moss colony

Oh yeah? Watch th-

Boy do I have some great news for you

We don’t know - it was in the “New Bosses” section of the trailer and it has Carmelita in it

This does explain why the aspect ratio is so odd.

Carnival of Crustaceans!

It doesn’t look like the ant has wings, unless those clothes are the wings, in which case would be a Queen and very exciting

[sinful flare]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOSS FIGHT

[near moat]

WHERE DO YOU FIND IT BRO

[coarse leaf]

Carmelita looks early game ngl. Not too complicated of an attack and Ant Colony area is definitely near Forest of Bones / Deep Docks / Moss Grotto

And Hornet’s HUD isn’t too crazy either

[little tendon]

@coarse leaf I like to imagine that you had to continually change your nickname up until now for the E3 because there hasn’t been any ss news in like a year

[coarse leaf]

E3 is the one.

[little tendon]

I hope so

[tame widget]

I hope that February will be the month

[little tendon]

You have to understand that at this point, the ss announcement will probably just be the release date thatd be in the next week after the announcement

[tame widget]

The next of 2 weeks after

[little tendon]

Yeah

Either that or they’ll go “yeah the project for ss is actually like 10x bigger than we anticipated so just wait another two years before another update”

[tame widget]

In the best timeline ever, Team Cherry reveal the release date on Christmas (most unlikely because they will certainly celebrate Christmas with their families)

We're not in the best timeline ever anyway

[timber meteor]

This wouldn't be unexpected at this point lol

[digital glen]

God i would love the release in February

[coarse leaf]

same

[tame widget]

Everyone would love the geforce "leak" to be true

[little tendon]

I’d love any release within the year 2022

[digital glen]

HK is too short, only 20h to 107% the game

[verbal trench]

it took you 20 hours to 107% the game from the first time u picked it up??

[digital glen]

What is the 112% WR

[little tendon]

The thing is, I’m sure Team Cherry would love for it too, but they know better than anyone when the game is truly finished, which is why they haven’t set a release date because they don’t know themselves when they’d be done to release it

[verbal trench]

112% wr is 3:05 or something

[digital glen]

Nah, i just beat now for no reason

[ocean mulch]

Do you think TC was able to add new areas in their content spree

[digital glen]

First playtrough took me like 70-80h

[little tendon]

Took me 30+ hours on my first run

[verbal trench]

i think it took me around 80 hours total on my first playthrough to 112% and beat PoH

[little tendon]

Granted, now my average time is like 17 hours

[brittle garnet]

at least one, i reckon

[ocean mulch]

Not knowing where to go adds to playtime

[digital glen]

My first playtrough + pantheon is at 100h and 13min right now

And now i beat 107% with 21h and 25min

This game is so good to play and chill

[warm bone]

yeah If you know what to do it definitely takes less time

[verbal trench]

its definitely replayable, thats the main thing i love about hollow knight

[digital glen]

PTSD triggered instantly

[tame widget]

Just think that someone had to say & record all of Zote gibberish

[little tendon]

TC noted that they didn’t want their enemies to feel like genetic game enemies, like the knights at city of tears, and wanted each enemy to have their own personality in a sense, which is exciting

[coarse leaf]

I have around 500 hours in HK - whenever I try replaying the game I immediately get sick of it and leave. It’s to the point where it’s no longer interesting replaying the game

[digital glen]

And the vocal to the musics

[coarse leaf]

I don’t understand how Pillow King can still have fun even after playing for over 1,000 Hours

[digital glen]

Of the Eternal Ordeal fight and menu style

[little tendon]

You should try mods, they’ll probably make the game a lot more interesting each run

[chilly nexus]

What was that mod adding the whole sanctuary area? did it ever get made?

[coarse leaf]

Cries in PC no longer functional rendering my HK steam copy as useless therefore leaving me to play exclusively on Switch

[coarse leaf]

Still in Development - as well as Pale Court, and another mod being developed by me!

[little tendon]

Outplayed

[coarse leaf]

That mod? Will not share!

[digital glen]

One thing that i will not touch is the pantheons with bindings

I know you can do one at a time, but they are super boring

[coarse leaf]

I’ve done P5AB twice already and now refuse to think about anything related to the pantheons again

[digital glen]

Especially the nail one

[coarse leaf]

The most boring is definitely Charms imo - the Nail Binding isn’t too bad since Unbreakable Strength nearly negates the entirety of Nail Binding

[digital glen]

But you did one at a time?

[coarse leaf]

I did one at a time, as well as having all four activated simultaneously

[digital glen]

Wow

[coarse leaf]

Not fun. Satisfying to achieve, but not fun. Well, it is fun without the pressure

[serene chasm]

fixed the aspect ratio for the edge screenshots.

1. Old 2. New

[coarse leaf]

HOLY SHIT! I have a new theory IMMEDIATELY after seeing this.

[tame widget]

Imagine going the the citadel with only 6 masks

Unless the citadel isn't the real endgame

[covert goblet]

wow wheres this foto from omg

[chilly nexus]

like Ari said, getting through the citadel is a phase of the game on its own

[little tendon]

Unless 6 masks in the most you can get

[chilly nexus]

then William cut him off

[tame widget]

Good, because if there's an enemy that deal 2 masks of damage, you can die in 3 hits

[serene chasm]

I hacked TC computer!
jk, theyre from the edge article

[covert goblet]

i didnt buy those does anyone have like all the pics im sorry if its rude to ask

[chilly nexus]

I love this guy's attitude

[warm bone]

end of the year edge has been really good

[little tendon]

Im ready to hear it

[haughty brook]

You can go through the entire HK without upgradring your health.

[covert goblet]

scorpion dessert sandy place maybe

[bleak musk]

definitely has nothing to do with the fact I'm getting a scorpion myself soon

[coarse leaf]

You see that bridge in the background, WAAAAAAAAY back there? I bet that’s the same one that was in the opening cinematic, that would eventually extend near the Seth arena, that would also lead near that one rainy shot with Garmond, and now leading here to the Gilded City that could also lead to either Citadel or Greymoor, and to whatever exact destination that Hornet was meant to be taken to. WHICH MEANS MY MAP THEORY FLUCTUATES ENTIRELY. I bet greymoor is on the RIGHT side of the map, with the area in EDGE where Hornet throws the Javelin being near that same bridge definitely around Greymoor, and definitely near Barnacle Town

[haughty brook]

Hornet
Disarming
More like Hornet disarms her opponents from their life

[hollow sedge]

where can i find all the Edge screenshots

[covert goblet]

yeah i wanna know to

[serene chasm]

from the edge article

[coarse leaf]

That god damned bridge! Where does it lead???

[little tendon]

I like this theory

[serene chasm]

Ill probably post them all here eventually

[coarse leaf]

the bridge looks nothing like the one from opening cinematic

[hollow sedge]

i feel like i havent seen all of them

[covert goblet]

thank you🙏 if i could buy the magazine i rlly would

[tame widget]

Maybe at the same place where the Weaver is trapped at the end of the trailer

[ocean mulch]

Looks like it leads into a cliff

[chilly nexus]

the bridge leads to the "Citadel Core" and there will be a v fun bossfight taking place on it (the bridge will seem empty, but ofc something will jump down/up at you)

[haughty brook]

Also there is so much light in that screenshot while the bridge in the opening there is only dark blue light.

[coarse leaf]

I know this. What I’m trying to say is that there’s a bridge that connects SEVERAL areas throughout the kingdom - changing in appearance visually - it’s meant to be a path of some sort

[chilly nexus]

you exit from the tower/wall on the right and make your way to the left

[ocean mulch]

Juicy hit impact

[coarse leaf]

but but
in cinematic we see the whole bridge

and its short as heck mate

[sinful flare]

WOA HOLLOWCORD IS GOING TO SPACE AGAIN ISN'T THIS LIKE THE THIRD TIME HOLLOWCORD WENT TO SPACE TO SEARCH FOR SILKSONG

[hollow sedge]

i think theres a secret area on the top left

[covert goblet]

omg i never noticed that

[chilly nexus]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[covert goblet]

yall have a good eye wow

[drowsy isle]

what does the space thing mean again

[coarse leaf]

No we don’t. Hornet breaks the bridge that prevents the cage from entering the Pharloom Door - past the tunnel, I speculate that the path would KEEP GOING ON.

[sinful flare]

VOICE CHANNEL ACTIVITY THING Um

[ocean mulch]

I love that part of the old church

[little tendon]

Craaazy idea guys, what if that door leads to this “secret area on the top left”

[sinful flare]

YOU CAN PLAY A GAME WITH EVEROYNE ELSE ON VOICE CHAT OR
WATCH YOUTUBE (HAS ADS)

[coarse leaf]

why would there be another bridge sort of thing after the tunnel
too much speculation

[odd plover]

That game looks dope! I wonder when it will release

[haughty brook]

I think you people are jumping to conclusions too much about a bridge in the far background. Background art in HK generally or just all of it was unexplored and was used as a means to give depth and tridimentionality to the world of the game.

[coarse leaf]

Hornet interrupted the journey midway when she saw an opportunity!

[warm bone]

guys do skittles have different flavors

[covert goblet]

maybe citadel members have that thing on their head to prevent the “curroption” or “sickness” from greymoore and hornet is being escorted trough greymoore idk

[warm bone]

like based on color

[coarse leaf]

You are too foolish to see my genius!

[covert goblet]

yes

[ocean mulch]

They're different bridges

[chilly nexus]

someone allude to.... lore? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v17P6BpnQ5lFyFilLM5mjvkpOj0-TJHF/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116771969245383300883&rtpof=true&sd=true

They may be different bridges. But they are all part of the SAME. PATH!

[ocean mulch]

N

[coarse leaf]

Y

[ocean mulch]

I am negative agreement

[serene chasm]

Did we forget about the seal breaking bug that let hornet escape.

[coarse leaf]

Nope.

well of course they are from the same path
the cultists want to get hornet to the citadel

[coarse leaf]

Precisely!

[ocean mulch]

The citadel's caste is carrying her into the tangled citadel

[haughty brook]

Guys, I don't know if you are joking, but please be careful about putting to much headcanon for a game that we know almost nothing about it. There is real danger for putting unrealistic expectations in so very little evidence and then coming to the game and letting yourself to be dissapointed.

[brazen needle]

Yo are people actually talking about silksong? never thought id see the day

[coarse leaf]

Now I wonder - is Hornet being taken to Citadel, or Greymoor?

[ocean mulch]

Citadel there are roots

[brittle garnet]

I don't think that's a bridge, it looks more like just a support beam

[coarse leaf]

I’m not letting my own ramblings get in the way of facts and logic - no matter how much satire I spit out!

[covert goblet]

what if hera had another child and that one currently is in pharloom as a boss

[ocean mulch]

Herrah isn't a weaver

[covert goblet]

its cool to read this thx for sending it

What if Lace was a pale being

[covert goblet]

Greymoor does seem to be on the right of the map; it's to the right of Bell Town, and the EDGE area is to the left of Bell Town

[opaque sigil]

She's not PK or WL so she isn't one

[covert goblet]

whats pk and wl?

[coarse leaf]

Literally - can’t wait to kick her into the lava

[opaque sigil]

pale king and white lady

[tame widget]

I mean, she kinda look like she can control white butterflies thingies that can destroy seals of bindings

[covert goblet]

ohh ty

[ocean mulch]

Greymoor and the Citadel are connected is my thought

[sinful flare]

Phite kady and wale ling

[ocean mulch]

You literally aren't able to do that

[opaque sigil]

Seems like the bell city and marsh are between them

[coarse leaf]

No shit. It was just a fantasy of mine!

[haughty brook]

I'm generally blank concerning speculating about the plot/lore/game progression on SS, I prefer to be pleasantly surprised rather than setting imaginary unrealistic spectations.

[covert goblet]

maybe lace is an offspring of the pale king and freed hornet cause their siblings so all the ahem fanart 😳 is now inc*st

[trim estuary]

You fantasize about Lace as well as Herrah and Monomon??

[ocean mulch]

Root area is said to be the citadel's base and that flower biz seemingly starts in the marshy place

[coarse leaf]

Wait. WHAT?

[trim estuary]

I WROTE IT WRONG

[opaque sigil]

Well the thing about that is you can make guesses about those things so long as you don't actually expect them to pan out

[coarse leaf]

MINISCULE ALLY GENIUS CAUGHT IN 4K????

[trim estuary]

[opaque sigil]

Root area is in marsh area

Neither are greymoor

[ocean mulch]

How do we know the marsh isn't greymoor

[covert goblet]

what is the marsh ??

[coarse leaf]

Quit dreaming of Lace!

[opaque sigil]

Very distinctive, greymoor is to the right of bell town, marsh is to the left of bell town

[ocean mulch]

The area from edge left of the bell town

[covert goblet]

are there pics of this place?

[haughty brook]

But there so many people that I found are getting high expectations of getting big cameos of Quirrel, Grimm (or Grimm troupe in general) or Dung Defender, like if it was some sort of MCU movies in which people get more exited about a reference rather than the plot of the movie on itself.

[ocean mulch]

@serene chasm fix the ratio pls

[covert goblet]

oh wow it looks so cool

[opaque sigil]

Well yeah those won't happen

[trim estuary]

Nym was in the trailer though??? /s

[covert goblet]

people are still in the firdt stage of grief with quirrel

someone said he SWAM trough the blue lake to get to pharloom

[serene chasm]

I did

[ocean mulch]

Thank

[haughty brook]

But I know people are going to get salty if there is no Quirrel cameo doing "casa" noises and being irrelevant to the plot and being an eyesore.

[opaque sigil]

There's nothing wrong with the ratio of that one

[covert goblet]

fr useless bug

[sinful flare]

Circle
Weird
Weird circle
Circle is weird

[opaque sigil]

No it isn't

[sinful flare]

_ _

[opaque sigil]

That's fine

[haughty brook]

Well, thats stupid. Sorry if sound harsh but get over people, Quirrel arc is finished, he got a great sendoff and went with peace, which is much better than most fictional characters get in dark fantasy settings like in HK.

[serene chasm]

1919*1164 is not a proper ratio

[modest night]

this looks out of place with the rest of the ui imo

[hallow pendant]

I like quirrel but hes fucking DEAD!!!!1!1 thinking that hes going to be in ss is dumb

[trim estuary]

Yeah the tool icons look a bit weird compared to the health and silk indicators

yeah i agree i dont think he will come back it would be useless at this point in pharloom we should meet like new characters in my opinion

[modest night]

i hope it'll get changed

[haughty brook]

I feel that TC still has to acomadate these kind of elements in HUD for the first time without feeling too intrusive.

[opaque sigil]

They do, but they could probably do it better

Especially since the wheels can obscure how many uses you actually have left

[ocean mulch]

They look alright to me

[modest night]

they look off imo

[serene chasm]

They need more pazzaz

[ocean mulch]

Might be cuz the tool icons are detailed

[covert goblet]

i dont rlly ynderstand what uses what like is the bar up top ur like insta heal thingy is it for spells and what is the circle for

[serene chasm]

Too plain compared to everything else

[opaque sigil]

Circle lights up if you are damaged and have enough silk to bind

[digital glen]

I always tought they were placeholders

[sinful flare]

All i can assume is it is its durability
Or what tammo said

[modest night]

i hope they are but theyve been working on the game for years now

[limpid plover]

This is just a shit posting channel

[ocean mulch]

Grover can explain how silk UI works

[limpid plover]

There's no silksong discussion here

[haughty brook]

Also I noticed that many tools that Hornet uses has some red color element in comparison with the original. For example in the screenshot with the spear weapon, the orignal spear is bronze coloured (like every other metal in Pharloom) while Hornet's has a red rope on it.

[limpid plover]

I've been lied to

[sinful flare]

Did you try reading the discussion right now

[opaque sigil]

Yeah that's intentional

[digital glen]

No way they let in the final game

[coarse leaf]

Ogrim reference?

[covert goblet]

thats literally what were talking sbout lol

[tough moat]

I want a better parry system

[cunning geode]

You’ll get one

[sinful flare]

I mean i got here several minutes ago i dont know what was happening

[opaque sigil]

“All of Hornet’s versions of those tools get a little bit of her style, which is why Hornet’s [version of that pin] has a little red rope around it,"

[trim estuary]

[coarse leaf]

we know the parry system will get better

[modest night]

i feel like if they weren't going to let it in the game they would have changed it already, the ui seems like a very basic component of a game and much more fundamental than the rest

[opaque sigil]

SS has the same parry system as HK

[modest night]

so no parry?

[ocean mulch]

You can also parry more easily with the downslash I assume

[opaque sigil]

It also has an active ability that counters things

[digital glen]

Hornet has a parry in the trailer that uses silk

[modest night]

yeah

[tough moat]

I hate that I have to wait to freaking seconds to comment but I understand

[coarse leaf]

parry + counter

[covert goblet]

hornet has the parry move where she goes into a defensive stance so thats alresdy a better parry dont worry

[digital glen]

But its not a parry in the hk sense

[ocean mulch]

Ten seconds isn't a lot

[cunning geode]

Parry + repose

[tough moat]

Wait really?

[haughty brook]

I think TC priority is the game system first and then they acomodate the HUD to represent them, but thats my opinion about that, so I dunno.

[coarse leaf]

Riposte*

[cunning geode]

it doesn’t matter

[coarse leaf]

You don’t matter

[covert goblet]

does that mean the game still isnt finished? damn silksongs big

[modest night]

the ui is what's constantly on the screen tho

[cunning geode]

Got me there

[digital glen]

Yeah

[tough moat]

I wonder how many gigabytes the game is going to be

[modest night]

i feel like rushing the ui would be a bad idea

[coarse leaf]

9

[hallow pendant]

And how expensive

[coarse leaf]

Soon enough you’ll get me too

With the banhammer

[cunning geode]

ehh, idk

[coarse leaf]

15

[covert goblet]

i rlly rlly hope they arent waiting for it to release on a new console it might be good msrketing wise and stuff but that just kinda sucks

[opaque sigil]

They aren't

[coarse leaf]

If I post an unrelated meme right now, I’ll surely be banned, right?

[hallow pendant]

Is it confirmed?

[ocean mulch]

Switch is gud

[haughty brook]

Nah, I'm saying simply that TC works in misterious ways because they don't appear much in social media (specially on twitter) which is very understandable. Twitter is a cesspool of bad takes and negativity.

[coarse leaf]

not quite confirmed but i bet it will be that

[covert goblet]

do u know for sure?

[opaque sigil]

Yes

[ocean mulch]

William is on Twitter frequently

[digital glen]

Here she parry's and counter atacks

[covert goblet]

twitter is just…

[opaque sigil]

Silksong may be ported to other consoles after release, but it's just on switch and pc at launch

[coarse leaf]

I know who to pester for news now! ||/s||

[digital glen]

But it uses silk so its not spammable, and its probably an equipable ability

[modest night]

still i don't see how areas not being finished would impact the ui

[coarse leaf]

its not william its just a random sentence generator and nothing can convince me its not

[modest night]

it's been a year since edge so hopefully it's better now

[ocean mulch]

I think it's the same still but we'll see

[opaque sigil]

I mean that didn't change in the year and a half between the demo and Edge so it might just be what it is

[haughty brook]

The only good thing about twitter is the art and thats is. Everything else is just like the internet version of the myth of Sisyphus.

[covert goblet]

maybe they want to see what looks good snd use that because a certain ui might fade into the background but idk

[modest night]

that would be unfortunate the tool thing is very awkward to look at but i guess i'll get used to it

[covert goblet]

LMAO

[coarse leaf]

almost a year*

[modest night]

same thing

[tough moat]

You know I didn't understand the hatred of twitter... That is until I downloaded the app

Worst mistake of my life

[coarse leaf]

The two are very different as a matter of fact

[gilded adder]

Did you know that "almost Christmas" means it wasn't Christmas?

[opaque sigil]

They're almost the same

[coarse leaf]

Did you know that I consider this statement to be irrelevant?

[covert goblet]

does anyoen have all the edge magazine screenshots i cant but it sadly

[modest night]

wtf so toxic to jonny

[opaque sigil]

[Almost a year ago] is [almost [a year ago]]

[haughty brook]

You have to present yourself in the SS council so test your worthtiness.

[coarse leaf]

Me? Toxic to jonny? I would never!

[gilded adder]

Why so mean?

[coarse leaf]

I love Jonny!

[cunning geode]

I love banning!

[covert goblet]

i have beat absolute radiance, not hitless but i did defeat it

[modest night]

the salmon color for the tool bar is a weird choice tho i guess they picked it for visibility

[haughty brook]

Fair enough

[opaque sigil]

one sec

[ocean mulch]

It's a nice pink to go along with hornet and the active tool color

[modest night]

i don't think it is

[coarse leaf]

I love you too

[digital glen]

God this game looks so good

[ocean mulch]

They're all squished

[cunning geode]

leaked images!

[gilded adder]

Are you referring to the color of the circle for tools?

[modest night]

yeah

[ocean mulch]

Why did edge mess up the aspect ratio

[digital glen]

The Last Judge is kinda weird

[ocean mulch]

I like him

[coarse leaf]

they fixed it

[hollow sedge]

didnt know there was that many screenshots

[covert goblet]

i legit cant thank you enough

[digital glen]

Is the the fourth one the Coral Forest?

[opaque sigil]

Seems like it

[sinful flare]

I like the concept of the border of silk meter being different

[coarse leaf]

well there are corals in the background
should be a hint

[ocean mulch]

It's explained that crests are things Hornet actually wears

[coarse leaf]

how many crests do we know of

[haughty brook]

I think three?

[opaque sigil]

Two by name

[ocean mulch]

Wanderer and Reaper

[serene chasm]

made a little gif of the ui

[digital glen]

In the 5th one, thats not the downwards strike right?

[ocean mulch]

I find it interesting that the needle changes

[digital glen]

This game has so much stuff

[opaque sigil]

Not the normal downstrike, at least

[ocean mulch]

That's a modified downstrike it seems

[digital glen]

The spider run from the trailer, the glide from Seth gif

[coarse leaf]

indicates needle upgrades perhaps

[digital glen]

It seems almost all abilitys have variants

[ocean mulch]

The needle changes with the crest

[coarse leaf]

Shakra my beloved

[coarse leaf]

Moss Grotto enemy my beloved

oh right it does

[serene chasm]

Since Tammo pretty much posted all the screenshots. Here is a zip of them

[coarse leaf]

Person sitting over a ledge in Bell Town my beloved

[trim estuary]

you said my name?

[serene chasm]

nah. talking about another zip

[coarse leaf]

Mosquito thing crawling on floor my beloved

[modest night]

yeah that tool ui is ugh

[coarse leaf]

It really does look unpleasant… but what would be a good substitute?

I’m glad HK doesn’t have a complicated UI. Imagine a UI for Shade cloak and Nail Art charge

[digital glen]

Iam sure theres a way to make look better

[coarse leaf]

it looking effortless tells me its just a placeholder

[serene chasm]

I say just get rid of the circle and put numbers

[coarse leaf]

That could work!

The circle is a bit too…

[digital glen]

Or they could make circular bars for how much you have

[coarse leaf]

i just say get rid of it completely and force player to remember how many uses they have left /j

[modest night]

honestly it's strange this is still a placeholder if the game has been in dev for multiple years and something like the tool ui is so important

yeah

i agree

and make it so that you can check how many uses you have left if you open the inventory

but no ui is better

[digital glen]

Just get rid of the entire UI

[opaque sigil]

That's a bad idea

[coarse leaf]

Don’t even keep track of Health or Silk storage at this point
