[silver oak]

Wait no
No that’s not good

Don’t do that

[coarse leaf]

That is silksong

Pale king found Pharloom and humans

[iron spear]

I was like hmmm do buzzsaws even make sense in my universe? Ehh who cares

[serene chasm]

buzzsaws make sense in every world

[silver oak]

They didn’t make sense in HK either

[iron spear]

make more sense thank in HK

[wheat sail]

meat boy moment

[bleak scarab]

graig did you make that?

[serene chasm]

They are what connects all the multiverses together

[silver oak]

It’s roc’s odyssey

[bleak scarab]

Hollow Knight: Into the Silkverse

[silver oak]

The hit new game from legendary indie game studio

[cerulean sable]

hollow knight has no rexcuse for the lack of slopes

[iron spear]

nah they do

[shell yacht]

geo

[iron spear]

fucking slopes are way too hard

[silver oak]

Well they’ve committed it seems

[cerulean sable]

if we truely desire to be next gen and GOT, we need to implement slopes

like i dont care about the story graphics or gameplay

if its no slopes, it doesnt deserve getting GOTY

[iron spear]

i still have a bunch of edge cases. I got it about 95% working

[chilly nexus]

this reminds me vaguley of the super baby mario sections of yoshi's island and I'm loving it

[barren roost]

Hello there my good friends can somebody make the part of my brain yelling to me about how much news we're getting tonight to shut up

[chilly nexus]

your game is looking so good

[iron spear]

it's currently "good enough" for the KS campaign, after that i'll iron out the rest

[silver oak]

Is there anyone else working on it or just you

[coarse leaf]

Imagine being in night

[iron spear]

oh you mean my exact inspiration??

[coarse leaf]

Haha 12:10 january 1st go brrrrrr

[chilly nexus]

Clearly we're meant to work together, when's the onboarding?

[silver oak]

The real inspiration was the friends we made along the way

[iron spear]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/480362717954310144/868504916346421278/Runboyrun.gif

here is some OLD footage

baby mario run star

[bleak scarab]

he could walk on walls then

[silver oak]

yes

[iron spear]

he actually still can, if i disable his max slope

[bleak scarab]

walking on water is overrated anyways walking on walls is where its at

[iron spear]

Roc is kinda like sonic, fast paced and sticks to stuff... but with WAY tighter controls

[bleak scarab]

man that sounds cool

[atomic sparrow]

he can walk on walls ? 😍 man I wished I could do it

[chilly nexus]

I'm honestly so excited for it (Roc's Odyssey). It feels like it's gonna be one of those games with lots of key moments that are tight and fluid and intentional, and every death is a catharsis where you go "I messed that up here... can do X differently" kinda like celeste's C-sides meets smash bros + sonic + HK. (not the whole game will be a C-side ofc, but that kind of fluidity at its peaks)

[daring hemlock]

Official A year with no news ):

Though that means that the game will be better than ever

[west shell]

i guess this year was truly the year of silksilence

[daring hemlock]

The truth

[chilly nexus]

I love how that phrase stuck :p

[carmine sapphire]

hello

[dusky marlin]

hi

[daring hemlock]

hi

[fallow rock]

ello

[daring hemlock]

Ello

[dusty nimbus]

Gardening of course

[narrow lava]

It's almost new years for California, one more hour

2022 here we come

[daring hemlock]

The future is insane

we have jet packs

[dusty nimbus]

Lol you are stuck in the past ||/j||

[dusty nimbus]

But still not silksong

[elfin badge]

Happy new year from where I live

[serene chasm]

Happy New Year

[winter prism]

Happy new year

New year new hollow knight game released right?

Please

[narrow lava]

No sir

[agile kelp]

I can speak again!

Also sorry about chaining earlier

Reeeaaallly should've stopped when I got the warning

But anyway happy new year!
Cheers to a year of no news!

[young saffron]

are you working on this alone or :o

[stiff owl]

I’ll take your entire stock

[stone wyvern]

Silksong looking real different

[stiff owl]

New art style

[wheat sail]

brought to you by the directors of squid game, masahiro sakurai, and fall guys

[cunning geode]

someone directed Sakurai?

was it the Deep State

[quartz yew]

Happy new year and one year of no silksong news/j
Hopefully January is kind to us.

Fun fact: When I was playing hollow knight, I thought the mantis lords was in greenpath (I mistook the traitor lord's village as the mantis village) and thought hornet was leading me to them.
I just thought: "Damn bitch I didn't even beat false knight until a 100 tries. Now you want me to fight possibly one of the hardest bosses in the game? Team cherry does not fuck around."

[floral tartan]

Makes sense

[glossy pine]

Y’all hyped for ss this year???

[vivid heart]

what happeend to this game? did the dev team disband? publisher/company closed down or something?

[quartz yew]

Let us hope

[gray lance]

They're working on the game

[vivid heart]

any sign they're still alive?

[quartz yew]

Nah.
They're still working.
We might get news in January or February.

[vivid heart]

did they postpone to work on something else?

[quartz yew]

No

[cunning geode]

you're being paranoid

[gray lance]

Nope. Game dev just takes a while

[cunning geode]

they are alive and well

dont worry about it

god i sound like "there is no war in ba sing se" or whatever

[gray lance]

Unless Australia sinks into the ocean we're good

[quartz yew]

"There's no silksong cancellation. Team cherry is well and alive and are diligently working to give us good game."

[split tide]

TC is based in Adelaide right

[fleet temple]

yes

[quartz yew]

Alright who added a clown emote to my message

[narrow lava]

Member when everyone said ss would release in 21? I member

[split tide]

I ‘member when people speculated a 2019 release date

[odd plover]

So, did you people enjoy the new year blogpost?

Yeah I thought so

[cunning geode]

it was great

[mint valve]

WOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA BABY. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSS

any silksong

[desert basin]

lol no

[mint valve]

[gray lance]

December believers in shambles

[mint valve]

technically in june

[stiff owl]

December 2022 believers when

[polar marsh]

It will probably be out by then

[mint valve]

no silksong

[polar marsh]

Zote boat December 2022 believers

Silksong is gonna release March 19th

[mint valve]

I think in Feb.

[polar marsh]

I don’t think the GeForce leak is real

I mean like the date it says probably isn’t gonna be the one

[mint valve]

Its my only hope

[stiff owl]

I already forgot about that

[odd plover]

You are kidding me there were December believers

[polar marsh]

About what

[mint valve]

[stiff owl]

The date

[polar marsh]

Oh ya,

[mint valve]

about what

[polar marsh]

Maybe dreams are really something after all- elder bug or something

[stiff owl]

When youngerbug

[odd plover]

Always remember, in your dreams silksong can exist

[polar marsh]

It literally was

[split tide]

but what if you dream no more

[odd plover]

Just make sure to wake up if you see the sun coming to life

[polar marsh]

I had a release trailer as a dream

[mint valve]

dreams are never as good as reality

[polar marsh]

It said March 19th and that’s what I’m gonna believe

[odd plover]

I had 2 separate slisong dreams, I need help

In the very first one cloth was there

[stiff owl]

My dreams are weird

[mint valve]

[odd plover]

In the second one the demo was released and I was losing my shit trying to get it

But I couldn't, it was hell

[analog forge]

DESPAIR CULT

[stiff owl]

Danganronpa

[mint valve]

Wait

[coarse leaf]

[mint valve]

SILKSONG 2022 LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? Hopefully Feb/March

[uncut citrus]

Relatable

[polar marsh]

January (news)
February (release date trailer)
March (release)

[coarse leaf]

2023

[polar marsh]

no.

[rose wolf]

2077

[mint valve]

[polar marsh]

3005

[rose wolf]

3500

[mint valve]

4006

[uncut citrus]

There probably won’t be news then other news which is a release date

[odd plover]

Actually, I think silksong will release the 2nd of January

[rose wolf]

4788

[mint valve]

5464

[odd plover]

But for real, the time silksong gets announced this place will go boom

[polar marsh]

314589

[marble marsh]

[rose wolf]

184829

[mint valve]

95457986671394025676576532950937673

[coarse leaf]

Never

[marble marsh]

TC somehow living for 731894781932 years just to complete silksong

[mint valve]

[rose wolf]

There families will continue it

[marble marsh]

silksong is a heirloom

[polar marsh]

Ari Jr Jr Jr Jr Jr Jr Jr.

[stiff owl]

[rose wolf]

Anyway 284773828585994

Songsilk

[polar marsh]

Silksong plot predictions?

[marble marsh]

hornet kills enemies, which affects pharloom

[polar marsh]

Hornet will have to fight some people and get to the place and kill the guy and kill another one and you win but turns out they were good so you kill bad guy

[mint valve]

there is no plot

[rose wolf]

Wow never expected that I thought it would be like mario

[mint valve]

lace helps hornet

[polar marsh]

But only if you like

do something

[stiff owl]

We all know that the plot to silksong is ||get 3 dreamers and go to the black egg temple to fight thk and become the hollow knight||

[polar marsh]

The first lace fight looks as hard as hornet 2 and I straight up don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with the speed

[mint valve]

you would be surprised at the skill of HK fans

[stiff owl]

Hornet solos thk

[marble marsh]

you could also find the knight in kingdoms edge and get silkheart to fight the radiance after thk

[fallow night]

i've seen it modified automatically before

[polar marsh]

my skills the one in question, I can beat almost all the bosses first try now that I’ve played the game but silksong looks like hell for me

[stiff owl]

Secret ending where you ascend the pantheons and take your place at the peak

[stone wyvern]

Hornet 2 really isn’t that hard

[mint valve]

yea

[polar marsh]

It isn’t but when I first played it I never played a metro vania

[marble marsh]

well yea after you know how to beat her

[chilly breach]

Silksong out yet?

[stone wyvern]

So yeah, with practice, lace wont be too difficult

[polar marsh]

Ya

[marble marsh]

no

[stone wyvern]

Not yet

[fallow night]

i beat hornet 1 second try my first playthrough but got stuck on hornet 2 for a while

[marble marsh]

I think they were saying that if lace is equal to hornet 2s difficulty but is earlier ingame that silksong would likely be harder than hk

[stone wyvern]

I dont think it will be at that level of difficulty, and to be fair getting 3 heals in a single go makes it easier

[uncut citrus]

Considering there isn’t like 5 actually alive ppls we fight throughout the whole game I think we might not kill everyone? Like maybe yeah the real evil thing causing the silk or making the ppls have to use silk for some reason we’ll probably kill it but like just like in HK you’ll usually just knock out uninfected ppls so basically everyone for silksong

[polar marsh]

ya I forgot about that, game changer 100%

[mint valve]

how do people know SS will be in march

[polar marsh]

Dream

Literally that’s why I think it’s March

Just seems right

[marble marsh]

that would make things a lot easier, takes all your silk though

[mint valve]

dream the speedrunner?

[fallow night]

(insert gif)

[stone wyvern]

Which is fine tbh

[marble marsh]

yea it healing 3 hearts instantly makes up for the cost

[mint valve]

https://tenor.com/view/dream-smp-gif-20015891

[polar marsh]

no, an actual dream you goofy goober

[stone wyvern]

It allows for more aggressive fights due to rapid healing

[fallow night]

unless they decide to be evil and give you 1 silk per hit

[stone wyvern]

Now stalwart shell has no reason to exist

[stone wyvern]

It takes like 8 hits to fill the gauge methinks

[iron spear]

just messing around a bit more with the platforms and stuff

[stiff owl]

Imagine the mods

[mint valve]

In HK you had a soul container. It could hold up to 99 soul. each hit gave you eleven

[stiff owl]

Mod path of pain

[marble marsh]

silksong has really changed since edge

[polar marsh]

Hello graig

[mint valve]

In SS you have 9 notches on your silk reserves

[stiff owl]

Better

[stone wyvern]

How would you know???

[polar marsh]

buzzsaws 💀

[fallow night]

graig carefully creating all of white palace as a reference to his hit indie game

[wheat sail]

So this is a platforming game how hard do you plan on making it? Comparable to hollow knight? meatboy?

[iron spear]

All of HK is just a reference to my game

[stiff owl]

It is and you should buy his game

[marble marsh]

it was a joke replying to the video of graigs game

[polar marsh]

It’s actually a shame team cherry decided to rip off graigs entire game, it’s really disappointing

[stone wyvern]

Fucking hell I’m an idiot

[iron spear]

probably like ORI style platforming, with a more refined HK combat and big old world to get lost in

[marble marsh]

cant believe TC would do such a thing

[mint valve]

SHAME ON TEAM CHERRY

[wheat sail]

Cool

[manic meteor]

hollow night

[stiff owl]

howo kyight

[iron spear]

Also I hope you guys like secret areas and mini games/puzzles

[polar marsh]

That sounds actually like hella sick, looking forward to game of the year 3005 or whatever

[tender coyote]

Who believes in the gforce leak, that silksong will come out February this year? since it is now officially 2022.

[iron spear]

Roc release date Silksong + 1

[stiff owl]

When does roc get a GeForce leak

[mint valve]

so pretty much hollow knight

[wheat sail]

The ori of hollow knight

[polar marsh]

March 19th because it was in a dream 🛌 😴 💭

[stiff owl]

It came to me in a dream

[tender coyote]

🤔

[polar marsh]

Is there any info about that happy death game also cause that also looks sick

[marble marsh]

have a nice death?

[iron spear]

Hk doesn't really have Ori style platforming at all

[mint valve]

yea. I saw the trailer

[stiff owl]

When does ori get path of pain

[tender coyote]

I’m happy it has a release date

[polar marsh]

When is it

[tender coyote]

March

[marble marsh]

the steam page says march 2022

[polar marsh]

hell ya

[iron spear]

honestly its actually closer to Donkey Kong Country but i dont know if any of you have played that so i said Ori lol

[mint valve]

first SS now HDD

[polar marsh]

YOOOOO

I have never beat donkey Kong country and I never will

[mint valve]

LETS GO

[shy kiln]

Do you think in SS there will be bosses like the Collector?

[tender coyote]

Yes

[stiff owl]

You want another collector?

[mossy jolt]

what/who will collector collect though

[mint valve]

for the flees. no

[marble marsh]

I wonder what creature silksong will have instead of grubs

[polar marsh]

Fleas

[stiff owl]

Why would you ever want that

[shy kiln]

Summoning enemies, not giving any silk when you hit them; in that sense

[wheat sail]

Collectors older sister...

[polar marsh]

Confirmed and true and canon and real

[tender coyote]

It’s the fleas

[marble marsh]

ok

[mossy jolt]

oh no idea then

[stiff owl]

It’s mini god tamers

[mint valve]

what wouldn't give silk. void

[polar marsh]

The Nintendo lady has been terrorized by fleas in her past (sad)

[mossy jolt]

enemies that cut silk? like scissor ones?

[stiff owl]

Hornet probably drops silk but since we can’t use it we just rub it off

[mint valve]

maybe yea

[shy kiln]

Not necessarily
will be able to make something

[tender coyote]

When do you think silksong is? Prequel, sequel, both?

[marble marsh]

if they hit you they could take away silk

[iron spear]

Its set in Universe Construct 2210669.9956

[polar marsh]

YOOOOO (that’s mine)

[shy kiln]

I used to think it would be a sequel; but now I have no idea

[marble marsh]

im pretty sure its a sequel

[stiff owl]

Sequel

[mossy jolt]

Sequel

[shy kiln]

We can not be sure though

[mint valve]

sequal

[stiff owl]

She got kidnapped on her way to hungry knight

[polar marsh]

I’m pretty sure it’s a sequel, those bombs she has would have been useful to keep people away from the wyrm corpse I feel

[mint valve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLfvGhtVaGM

[tender coyote]

I like the theory of it being before, in, and after hollow knight.

[marble marsh]

it says this on the nintendo page

[shy kiln]

Fair point; but in Hallownest there aren’t any materials for her to craft those, or any other thing for that matter

[mossy jolt]

I think it would probably be Prequel cause TC doesn't really want to make any certain endings canon/not canon and in Sealed Siblings hornet basically dies

[cunning geode]

fake news

goodbye

[tender coyote]

Yeah the Nintendo page, that showed “coming soon” 2019

[mint valve]

WOOOOAAAA YEA BOY. sequal

[young phoenix]

You know that’s just saying it’s their second game-

[marble marsh]

yea its not the best evidence

[quartz yew]

What bug do ya'll think huntress is? /gen

[tender coyote]

🤔

[marble marsh]

what does /gen mean

[cunning geode]

Genuine

[polar marsh]

Genuine

[cunning geode]

and unless otherwise stated she is just a fictional bug

[narrow lava]

why does the first one have a snail?

[wheat sail]

all these new declariations at the end of each text thing.. dont really dig it but wcyd

[mint valve]

It says in the description shes a old towering huntress waiting for her kids

[quartz yew]

Her horns remind me of a moose.

[tender coyote]

How many areas do you think SS will have

[mossy jolt]

at least 7

[mint valve]

40

[polar marsh]

How many did hk have

[cunning geode]

Characters in HK being “named” as real bugs from Earth are the exception, not the rule

[mossy jolt]

at least 7

[tender coyote]

Y 7 exactly

[polar marsh]

Hk plus 2 plus various sub areas

[mint valve]

HK had 10 areas

[polar marsh]

-1 area

[wheat sail]

SS will have 11

[stiff owl]

It’ll just be hallownest but tinted blue

[narrow lava]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/875149782736338974.gif?v=1

[mint valve]

I counted there are 15 areas in HK

[mossy jolt]

Peaks, White Palace, Deepnest, Queen's Gardens, Greenpath, Pog canyon, Wastes, King's pass, Howling Cliffs, CoT, Godhome, Royal Waterways, Resting grounds, Kingdom's Edge, Crossroads and Ancient Basin

[wheat sail]

It will be hollow knight B-Side

Whenever an enemy moves it shoots a triple shot at the player

[young phoenix]

I can think of 6 areas for silksong

[mossy jolt]

wrong reply but whatever

[tender coyote]

Waiting for ss so long I noticed my hk route jank

[polar marsh]

Name

[cunning geode]

HK had 15 areas, 18 if you count White Palace, The Abyss, and Godhome (which I do)

[marble marsh]

you forgot forgotten crossroads

[mossy jolt]

oh right Im stupid

[cunning geode]

no it was forgotten

[agile kelp]

Dirthmouth

[marble marsh]

also greenpath

[stiff owl]

Wdym there’s 26 areas in hk

[atomic sparrow]

no ?

[marble marsh]

that plus 2 for while palace and godhome

[mossy jolt]

isn't dirtmouth part of king's pass

[stiff owl]

The hive is a sub area

[mint valve]

true

[mossy jolt]

and hive part of edge

[young phoenix]

Deepdocks, moss grotto, bonebottom, coral forest, citadel, maybe the worlords tower

[polar marsh]

You’re a sub area

[stiff owl]

You’re

[mint valve]

hopefully more

[cunning geode]

You forgot BARNACLE BAY

[marble marsh]

I dont think the hive counts as a sub area bc it shows different on the map

[wheat sail]

This ratio is an area too

[narrow lava]

what are you talking about?

[young phoenix]

The citadel might be split into multiple areas

[polar marsh]

Actually the most excited ngl, that snail looking guy is already my favorite

[marble marsh]

these are only the ones weve been shown, silksong must have atleast 20

[young phoenix]

Nope too many areas will be overwhelming

[tender coyote]

There’s also the fact that we’ve seen several safe places in ss rather than one in hk

[polar marsh]

NOPE, the little bug with the hat

[mint valve]

25

[marble marsh]

30

[stone wyvern]

One of my main gripes for HK was that everything had a blueish tint to it. Silksong seems to change that and now everything looks so full of life and vibrant.

[narrow lava]

200,000 areas

[marble marsh]

greenpath

[mint valve]

1000000

[stone wyvern]

Compare greenpath to moss grotto

[young phoenix]

Well pharloom seems like a much more alive kingdom than hallownest

[polar marsh]

Queens garden had the best looking area in my opinion

[tender coyote]

Ye

[polar marsh]

And the hive

[stone wyvern]

greenpath is not vibrant whatsoever

[young phoenix]

don’t forget deepnest

[marble marsh]

moss grotto does look better than greenpath

[young phoenix]

The reason it isn’t vibrant is because the kingdom is dying if I’m not mistaken

[charred pulsar]

Agreed, one of the top-looking areas for me

[mint valve]

with all the extra detail

[shy kiln]

Deepnest IMO

[narrow lava]

drueeeee

[young phoenix]

And silksong seems the opposite pharloom seems thriving, until you arrive

[mint valve]

I'm tired. good knight

[polar marsh]

Gn

[narrow lava]

my favorite looking area was the abyss watch tower, the mystery of that place is something I vibed with

[stone wyvern]

Pharloom is “phar” more developed than Hallownest

[marble marsh]

is it just me or are the backgrounds also better than hollow knights

[polar marsh]

I mean, makes sense

[stone wyvern]

Of course

[young phoenix]

I mean the hollow knight backgrounds are normal just, wall

[stone wyvern]

Ari’s style has improved quite a bit

[narrow lava]

wow, its almost like it was made by a now more experienced team

[marble marsh]

no way

[uncut citrus]

Eh not really, PK’s palace isn’t much diffrent than the citadel

[quartz yew]

Hey it's me.

[polar marsh]

how do YOU know 🤨

[stone wyvern]

About that…

It’s fucking destroyed

[stiff owl]

Summoned

[uncut citrus]

There’s also layers, I have a cool gif about it but I can’t send it cause on mobile

[quartz yew]

Indeed

[coarse leaf]

pk's palace is better than every area silksong will have

[uncut citrus]

[young phoenix]

Well silksong also has buzzsaws

[coarse leaf]

oh

[quartz yew]

Laces second fight reminds me of white palace. It has a similar aesthetic.

[young phoenix]

and you can use them

[uncut citrus]

But yeah the difference is that Pharloom is still alive

[quartz yew]

It's dying tho

[young phoenix]

I feel like hornet is going to screw everything up

[cunning geode]

You mean it’s white

[quartz yew]

It has an elegant vibe to it too.

[polar marsh]

Just by visuals, laces second fight and the bug robot is the bosses I’m most excited for

[uncut citrus]

Yeah it’s kinda dying but everything are still up and working

[quartz yew]

Me too!

[uncut citrus]

And I’m pretty sure hornet is supposed to fix that instead of kill everyone

[stone wyvern]

Pharloom is dying whereas Hallownest was already dead

[polar marsh]

I bet 100% that you hit the robots head to do damage

[quartz yew]

The knight: I must end my siblings' suffering and end the curse that plagues this dead kingdom.
Hornet: Who the fuck summoned me?

[polar marsh]

Or the hand if it slams down

[cunning geode]

100% of what

[polar marsh]

REAL circulated US dollars

[ocean mulch]

Sanity

[stone wyvern]

Hi chromium

[tender coyote]

Where did the ss clown meme come from

[stone wyvern]

Unfunny people

[young phoenix]

I bet the robot will have opportunities to attack it if you dodge enough or maybe there’s strings controlling it and you have to cut the strings to deal damage

[polar marsh]

I don’t even know what that is

[tender coyote]

I don’t have the meme on me

[narrow lava]

my mom says im very funny

[stone wyvern]

Good for you

[atomic sparrow]

hey Chroma 👋

[narrow lava]

indeed

[stone wyvern]

also todo enjoyer i see

[polar marsh]

I don’t know about you but I want To slice it’s head in half and a tiny little bug is inside it controlling it

[young phoenix]

MMC 2

[tender coyote]

[ocean mulch]

Katie why did you make clownkin

[polar marsh]

A tiny bug on a tiny chair with a lever in both hands and a bunch of buttons

[tender coyote]

Yes

[atomic sparrow]

reasons beyond our understandings

[young phoenix]

Yeah but at the start don’t we see strings?

[tender coyote]

Yes

[polar marsh]

Ya, but this is [[REDACTED]]

[narrow lava]

this is discord sir || ||

[tender coyote]

I think we know that

[polar marsh]

Oh ya my bad

[narrow lava]

all good sometimes we need to be reminded

[tender coyote]

Y did that need to be redacted

[polar marsh]

it’s discord

[tender coyote]

I don’t get it

[young phoenix]

They said the word

[narrow lava]

elegiggle

[polar marsh]

(funny and discord)

[young phoenix]

Fun-

[stone wyvern]

[polar marsh]

Anyway

Any opinions of other bosses so far

[stone wyvern]

Coral man looks cook

[polar marsh]

I can’t imagine how hard he would be tho

[tender coyote]

Seth.. 👌no words

[polar marsh]

idk why but he gives me failed champion or whatever he was called

[stone wyvern]

False knight?

[polar marsh]

vibes

[young phoenix]

Coral man gives me traitor lord but much cooler vibes

[tender coyote]

His head reminds me of head on collo chair

[pliant jackal]

It feels so nice to be living the same year SS comes out.

[stone wyvern]

It’s funny to think about how I’m likely going to be in college when ss releases

[polar marsh]

Traitor lord is easily the weakest boss for me

[pliant jackal]

Can just feel to joy of anticipation already.

[young phoenix]

Lace gives hornet vibes- wait

[stone wyvern]

heh—

[young phoenix]

You live in 2070?

[stone wyvern]

inb4 this becomes poorly aged

[pliant jackal]

But hey, think of the bright side! lot of time to play SS on retirement home!

[tender coyote]

Nope massive Miserable cucumber

[pliant jackal]

on your brand new switch model 21.

[young phoenix]

Ok one more boss definition and I will go

[polar marsh]

Idk if I want to play silksong on switch or wait another couple months for Xbox release

[young phoenix]

The ant queen or whatever gives me grimm vibes for some reason

[polar marsh]

but like spoilers and stuff idk, also just the pain of waiting longer

[tender coyote]

Yeah

[pliant jackal]

I wonder if my local retirement home has speed running community? maybe I need to form one.

[tender coyote]

That will be the most difficult

[young phoenix]

I’d rather wait longer for a better game than wait less time for a worse game

[tender coyote]

Same

[pliant jackal]

But yeah, more is not always better.

[polar marsh]

The ant girl looks super cool also

[young phoenix]

And while waiting for a not rushed game to come out I shall be continuing to play dead cells and Celeste and hopefully soon, outer wilds

[fiery coral]

OUTER WILDS YEAH

[tender coyote]

Do you think ss will reference hollow knight

[little moss]

Will Team Cherry sue NVIDIA in February?

[polar marsh]

Who

[tardy folio]

has anyone here ever played pathologic 2?

[pliant jackal]

I don't think they will sue..

[young phoenix]

Indie games are best

[pliant jackal]

but instead they will just post pone the release for 1 year, just to make a point.

[polar marsh]

If your talking about the GeForce stuff

then

no.

[young phoenix]

Like they normally have better communities

[fiery coral]

by virtue of being smaller

[stone wyvern]

Team Cherry is too pure to sue

[cerulean sable]

i only know about Pathologic but not much

[young phoenix]

Now I shall go back to being salty that I lost to the final boss of dead cells goodbye

[little moss]

Remember the date when Skyrim released? we can get 2/2/22 lol

[stone wyvern]

11/11/11

[cerulean sable]

Reminder not to create some internal parasocial with the devs
They made one really good game so far and we dont know much about them under the hood

[polar marsh]

MARCH 19, idk why but it just FEELS right

[stone wyvern]

Silksong would have to release during the 22nd month then

[pliant jackal]

Lack of SS is a void, that eats us all inside, little by little. It needs to be filled, with goob of happiness. Lets hope this year comes with lots of happy goob.

[cerulean sable]

Same way how people talks about how generous this dev or that dev despite only making one good game so far

we dont know them YET

[stone wyvern]

bug fabl

[pliant jackal]

But in hollow knight is just your average game tho.

[tender coyote]

Just hope ss doesn’t over shadow any games when it releases

[stark estuary]

I agree, SS is Void. So is Hornet.

[pliant jackal]

I hope in SS Hornet will get alternative costumes and masks.

[tardy folio]

hollow knight was released in the same period as breath of the wild, so i guess tc doesn't care about it

[stark estuary]

Ok but

[stone wyvern]

That wont happen.

[tender coyote]

But they weren’t popular then

[uncut citrus]

Well guys I gtg now I need to restock on baguettes, for it is what you have to do when your cult name is in French

[tender coyote]

Yes it will… with mods

[pliant jackal]

Will there be void version of hornet in SS?

[stark estuary]

HK was a random indie title, there was no way in hell it would've "overshadowed" Breath of the fuckin' Wild. SS will be bigger, but still nowhere near the point it'd actively hurt the sales of AAAs.

[tender coyote]

True

Maybe

[little moss]

I hope Hornet will get pink bow for easy mode.

[stark estuary]

SS isn't competing with AAA developers

[pliant jackal]

That would be sweet.

[tender coyote]

There won’t be an easy mode

[stark estuary]

It's gonna cost $15-$20, it's an indie game.

[pliant jackal]

I hope SS will get easy mode eventually.

[polar marsh]

Not 15

[pliant jackal]

Not all my friends got to enjoy HK because it was too hard.

[little moss]

But as game-journalist I can't imagine myself playing this Dark Souls-like game without one!

[stark estuary]

Why not 15

[polar marsh]

To cheap

[stone wyvern]

February would be a dangerous month to release SS. Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring and Dying Light 2 are all releasing in February.

[stark estuary]

No such thing

[tender coyote]

I hope it won’t. Just so everyone gets the same experience

[narrow lava]

thats now

[primal oriole]

yeah there almost definitely won’t be an easy mode, but I mean, I don’t see the issue

[little moss]

I got better one

[tardy folio]

idk tc already commented that the difficulty would be at the same level as hk

[polar marsh]

March 19th don’t @ me

[primal oriole]

not everyone wants the same experience

[stone wyvern]

Ahh the debate of difficulty modes

[pliant jackal]

It won't be same experience. if they just keep dying, they will hate it.

[narrow lava]

but yea, december gang seething rn

[stark estuary]

Obligatory "just git gud".

[primal oriole]

there already is an easy mode, if you mod in debug and increase some values

[tender coyote]

Probably harder because the way they have to make it faster for hornets style

[primal oriole]

but that’s just inconvenient

[stark estuary]

I mean, not everyone's going to be playing on PC either.

[primal oriole]

yeah and that

[stone wyvern]

At the same time you get 3 HP per heal

[tender coyote]

I play on switch. No mods🥲

[tender coyote]

True

[narrow lava]

there is an easy mode tho, its confirmed

[stone wyvern]

Tbf switch is the best way to play ss and hk

[narrow lava]

steel soul is hard mode, regular is easy

[pliant jackal]

for me HK difficulty was just right. I wouldn't want it any easier either, I like the challenge.

[stone wyvern]

Oxymoron

[pliant jackal]

but at the same time its frustrating to see some not to enjoy the game at all.

[ember geode]

Regular is hard, steel soul is harder

[tardy folio]

yeah i believe that at least the bosses will have a slightly higher difficulty than the hk ones bc hornet mechanics

[narrow lava]

wow, its almost as if thats the yoke

[stone wyvern]

Schrodingers

[stark estuary]

Silk Soul

[tender coyote]

Agreed. I’ve been a console gamer since I could play games I should know.

[pliant jackal]

HKs movement was simple but perfected, I hope SS with all its movement can match that.

[viral pivot]

i mean compared to steel silk sounds a bit weaker, maybe its something like less health? idk

[stone wyvern]

Ss will outmatch it

[pliant jackal]

It gets frustrating quite fast to die on controls.

[tender coyote]

I bet it will be more fluid

[narrow lava]

one could say..... it will be silky smooth

[tender coyote]

Steel song

[ember geode]

By a lot

[pliant jackal]

More movement options usually makes things more messy, and shown on the trailers all that movement is not that straightforward either.

[ember geode]

Nah it gives you more choices

[pliant jackal]

Choices sure, but is it better?

[ember geode]

I bet at first it will be confusing but it will be easy to get used to

[stone wyvern]

I prefer complicated movement tbh

[pliant jackal]

Just like in Doom eternal comparison to doom 2016?

[tender coyote]

It also makes for more ways to go and for more play styles and skips for speed runners

[ember geode]

also there’s a grapple so silksong is already 30 times better than hk

[ember geode]

? Isnt doom eternal 304x better than doom 2016?

[stark estuary]

I honestly don't agree. There's the combination of Hornet's instantaneous, "stronger" heal and the fact that bosses appear to not only stagger for longer, but hitting them doesn't end the stagger. They also don't appear to be that much faster - but in all fairness we've only seen early-game bosses thus far. I still think it's too early to conclude whether they'll be "easier" or "harder" than HK bosses, assuming they're even comparable at all.

[narrow lava]

well, we wont know how much better SS is than HK, remember, they are naught but human, dont get too hyped to the point where its impossible to meat your new standard

[ember geode]

In terms of movement at least

[little moss]

For hard mode the initial menu title will change from "Silk Song" to "Skill Song"

[tender coyote]

What will we do if it’s shit?!

[pliant jackal]

I liked Doom 2016 much better. In core it was just better game. Eternal just felt bloated.

[little moss]

I'm gonna play it, what about you?

[ember geode]

Doom eternal was so good. The fast paced combat and the movement options was amazing

Many many people agree that doom eternal approach to movement made it a better game

[tender coyote]

Even if it sucks ass, I will play it

[little moss]

That solves it.

[stone wyvern]

I hope Silk Soul isn’t only a permadeath mode. Perhaps AI changes and more complex enemy movesets

[ember geode]

We shouldn’t compare doom and hk since it’s pretty different

[pliant jackal]

the aspect of if better is more is still relevant.

[little moss]

More accurate comparison to Doom would be Animal Crossing of course.

[tender coyote]

Yeeeees

[pliant jackal]

what about axiom verge 1 vs 2 then?

[stark estuary]

Not really

[pliant jackal]

that was even more of a proof more is not always better.

[cunning geode]

The best Doom is doom 2. Anyways back to my cave

[pliant jackal]

Doom 2 just works, no bs.

[tender coyote]

When it’s team cherry tho. I’m sure they’ll be fine

[pliant jackal]

If game is perfected, has solid core, perfect pacing, its hard to make it better by just adding tons of new features in the next game.

I mean, by all means, add new stuff, change things up..

but there is a limit to that.

[tender coyote]

Next game meaning ss? Or Zote Boat?

[pliant jackal]

I think most of the time fans just want new content, story, bosses, challenges, want to see the world open around them.

[tender coyote]

Do you think we’ll ever get zote boat

[pliant jackal]

sure new features are nice and dandy, but mixing up things won't always be upgrade.

[stark estuary]

I don't really know what your point is but using random unrelated examples as evidence to support the extremely vague and generic notion of "more isn't always better" doesn't really prove anything. Like yeah, adding a ton of uninspired content solely for the sake of having content can make a game feel bloated, that's a given. That doesn't mean new and original content shouldn't be added. SS isn't an expansion to HK - it's a totally different game with a totally different style of play and I don't know where the hell you're going with this weird allegory.

[crisp drift]

I can't tell if you're joking or not

[tender coyote]

It started as joke but now kinda serious

[stone wyvern]

Literally never going to happen but go off

[crisp drift]

I mean the probability is not good, but never zero

[pliant jackal]

type of game does not matter to this context.

[tender coyote]

Right cuz zote can’t do shit

[primal oriole]

we won’t get the zote game because it sucks and it was always a terrible idea

[tender coyote]

Ye

[stark estuary]

It kinda does?

[stoic path]

Ah a new year, a new hope

[crisp drift]

At most prolly we'll get zote comic

If any

[pliant jackal]

every game has it content, and to be fair 2d platformers are even more sensitive to changing up the controls than any other game type.

messing up with already perfected controls will feel really weird.

[stark estuary]

But... SS isn't HK. It's a different game. Not every 2D platformer is identical and there are a ton of incredible ones.

[tender coyote]

They may be perfected to hollow knight but hornet is different meaning there no longer perfected

[pliant jackal]

Its not same game. but why make worse game?

I'm not saying they will tho.

[tender coyote]

Wat

[scarlet musk]

🤦‍♂️

[primal oriole]

I disagree that HK had perfected movement anyway

[pliant jackal]

This is just sake of argument.

[stark estuary]

Why are you operating on the preconceived notion that SS will be worse than HK by default just because the movement is different?

[surreal crown]

HK movement was incredibly tight and responsive. Doesn't necessarily translate to perfect automatically.

[crisp drift]

Kirb using long words pog

[stark estuary]

I always use long words

[primal oriole]

HK has movement that’s good for what it was doing with its movement

[crisp drift]

Ok fair

[primal oriole]

which is very little

[pliant jackal]

Kirb, seems we are not on the same wavelength here.

I'm not sure what are you "protecting" here. I'm not attacking SS or team cherry here. just talking about context of game making in general.

[quartz yew]

Sorry I just disappeared. Had to do something..

Anyway I'd love a little wholesome moment where if you gave Huntress enough food and her kids ate their full, instead of being hostile she just warmly thanks you and gives you a tool. (Huntress dagger sounds really cool as a tool)

[primal oriole]

and then she eats your organs

[full rune]

even more wholesome we should be able to feed sherma to the huntresses children

[tender coyote]

What if huntress the new jiji

[stark estuary]

Huh? That... wasn't my point? Metroidvanias come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, there isn't a "perfect" control system which if changed in any way will result in a lower quality product.

[primal oriole]

corpses are collectable items

[quartz yew]

Someone: What content do you guys think will be cut
Me: Maybe-
You guys: Sherma. In half please

[crisp drift]

[quartz yew]

She retrieves your silk cocoon from anywhere in pharloom. But at this point the cocoons aren't that important to retrieve unless you have rosarie strings.

[tender coyote]

It makes sense tho right

[stark estuary]

Huntress is the new Huntress.

[crisp drift]

Not sure if Huntress would fit

[quartz yew]

Hornet works at a mourge in Pharloom. That's what the gather quests are.

[stark estuary]

The old Huntress was...

Esmy.

[crisp drift]

KIRB

[tender coyote]

Nani

[crisp drift]

I SWEAR

[quartz yew]

[tender coyote]

We never got to know the deal with Esmy 🤔

[stark estuary]

We did

[tender coyote]

Waaaat tell me

[crisp drift]

Kirb if you bring up bobbi bill

[primal oriole]

ok so imagine Sly right

[stark estuary]

That's Esmy

[stoic path]

what

[tender coyote]

Yeah I’m confused too

[stark estuary]

Emsy is the same species as Sly. Some mistake them for brothers.

[stoic path]

Isn't Esmy that dead corpse in Kingdom's Edge?

[tender coyote]

Yes

[stark estuary]

No - that's a Great Hopper.

[tender coyote]

Wat

[quartz yew]

[stark estuary]

It actually is

[primal oriole]

yeah it’s a great hopper corpse that Oro dressed up as a Nailmaster because he definitely doesn’t need therapy

[tender coyote]

This is all a joke isn’t it

[primal oriole]

“stronger brothers” refers to the great hoppers that drop down when you beat them up enough

[crisp drift]

The great hopper thing is not a joke

[primal oriole]

this part isn’t

[stark estuary]

No, the corpse outside Oro's house genuinely belongs to a Great Hopper, this is confirmed in WJ.

[stoic path]

It does look like a great hopper

[crisp drift]

The esmy part is a joke

Or at least i think kirb is joking about esmy

It's a bit hard telling which is jokes from kirb

[stark estuary]

[tender coyote]

Not that wat kirb is saying about esmy it feels like it’s leading to a joke

[stark estuary]

The Esmy thing was indeed a joke.

[quartz yew]

Let's talk about the citadel

[stark estuary]

It's big and it's tall

[quartz yew]

It sure is

[stone wyvern]

Esmy is just Sly’s side hoe

[crisp drift]

Is let's talk about citadel the new let's talk about tool

[stark estuary]

Yeah probably

[crisp drift]

I've not seen let's talk about tools lately

[quartz yew]

I talked about tools to death at this point.

[stark estuary]

Let's talk about tools!

[crisp drift]

Ever since i forgot about this server

[tender coyote]

I’ve THOUGHT about tools to death

[stoic path]

thools

[quartz yew]

Hoping for a silk tool. Or a thread tool similar to the spike ball thing hornet has.

[crisp drift]

Thulecite tools

[stone wyvern]

So uh…. any tool ideas?

[quartz yew]

Boomerang tool.

[stark estuary]

My favourite tool idea so far is the "Blackwyrm Blade", Hornet stabs herself with it and turns into Blackwyrm for 30 seconds.

[crisp drift]

KIRB

[primal oriole]

pimpillo with a metal barrel loaded with a rock attatched to it

[quartz yew]

What's with pk's kids and stabbing themselves?

[tender coyote]

How will they replace shaman stone since they have to since it’s one of the best charms

[crisp drift]

Shaman Stone a lil OP

[tender coyote]

Yeah

[stone wyvern]

Not everything has to be replaced

[stark estuary]

Runs in the family ig, PK stabbed himself too. If not literally then figuratively.

[tender coyote]

I know.. but shaman stone…

[quartz yew]

Maybe give a silk enhancement tool. Something that'll give your silk spells a boost.

[tender coyote]

Yeah

[stoic path]

I hope there is a tool like Steady Body

[primal oriole]

I mean it’s not that complicated to replace it if they want to

just add a passive tool or crest with the same effect

[stark estuary]

There should be a tool called "Wyrmbone". Idk what it'll do, but it should be called that.

[quartz yew]

A little spool where hornet stores extra thread and when she uses silk spells she uses that extra silk.

[primal oriole]

probably given by the Weavers

[quartz yew]

Hornet either steals your bones or she takes less damage cause she has strong bones/j/lh

[tender coyote]

How many of you will use the saw

[stark estuary]

Huh I wonder if Hornet has bones actually. Herrah probably didn't but PK definitely did. Well... he used to.

[tender coyote]

I know I will

[quartz yew]

That would probably also be a good way to introduce the weavers and silk spells.

You save some weavers and in return they teach you ancient magic from your ancestors. Similar to how the knight learns vengeful spirit. The cutscene of hornet standing in front of a weaver mask might be it.

[quartz yew]

Me: Sees a hallway of enemies Time to PK the shit out of this place.

[tender coyote]

Ye

[stark estuary]

Hornet's ancestors? You mean the spiders? I don't think they used magic.

[tender coyote]

Yeah cuz silk replacing spells

[stark estuary]

Silk spells are still spells, but she's not related to the Weavers.

[quartz yew]

Maybe not. But Idk how else silk skills or spells will get introduced. I thought the weavers might be the best bet.

[tender coyote]

No?

[stark estuary]

She isn't.

[quartz yew]

What? Wasn't Herrah a weaver?

[stark estuary]

No

[tender coyote]

NANI

[stark estuary]

Herrah was the queen of Deepnest, a "common beast". Weavers are foreign, and don't originate from Deepnest/Hallownest.

[quartz yew]

And how can Hornet control silk if she is not part weaver?

[quartz yew]

Hold on let me look this up

[ocean mulch]

Spider

[stark estuary]

Hornet gets her Soul powers from her father, the Pale King. Her Silk and Soul are inseparably bound, and the Weavers probably taught her.

[tender coyote]

Yeah and the lore behind weaver song

[ocean mulch]

Herrah is natively a deepnest spider. The weavers were immigrants from pharloom.

[tender coyote]

Never heard this theory before

[stark estuary]

It's not a theory

[ocean mulch]

Insert E3 inventory footage

[fleet temple]

they're most likely from pharloom anyway

[tender coyote]

Everything’s a theory. Some people think the earth is flat, while I say it’s round

[quartz yew]

So in the end Herrah is weaver like? She's still a spider that could possibly control silk.

[stark estuary]

Hornet's dad is PK and her mom is Herrah. PK had Soul powers. Her Silk and Soul are inseparably bound. Herrah is not a Weaver. Weavers are foreign. This is all confirmed canon.

[ocean mulch]

Theory isn't correctly used among people it should be hypothesis

[uncut citrus]

It isn’t actual silk but more like soul magic, still if it manifest as silk is probably cause she’s part spider

[stark estuary]

The Earth is also proven to be round, Flat-Earthers just ignore evidence lel.

[tender coyote]

I am loosely saying theses things. And wat your saying even tho I’ve never heard before sounds legit. Just don’t take me too seriously

[tender coyote]

Yes

[ocean mulch]

So what are we talking about I just joined chat

[stark estuary]

She likely produced silk, but it's unlikely that her silk had the same properties as the Weavers'.

[uncut citrus]

It ain’t really silk it’s more soul

[stark estuary]

It's silk

[uncut citrus]

But I guess it’s silk soul

[ocean mulch]

silk AND soul

[tender coyote]

Sounds right

[uncut citrus]

Anyways time to get baguettes now bye

[stark estuary]

For Herrah it was probably just silk, for Hornet it's SoulSilk ™️

[ocean mulch]

Silk needs proteins and hornet isn't eating at McDonald's on every bench so soul will have to do

[tender coyote]

YouTubers are gonna have a field day with ss

[ocean mulch]

HK tubers be dying rn

[tender coyote]

Yeah

[ocean mulch]

Milk hollow knight mods is my advice

[stark estuary]

I believe it's mentioned that Hornet naturally produces Soul-infused silk inside her Pale Shell but doesn't in SS.

[primal oriole]

Hornet seems to have lost her ability to produce silk

[tender coyote]

Well I have to get sleep. It’s 4:28 where I am

In the morning

[quartz yew]

Maybe weavers and spiders are like kin or cousin tribes.

Weavers use their silk to weave stories and spells
Spiders use their silk for battle and defense.

Hornet could learn both due to her half wyrm blood granting her the ability to create spells.

[stark estuary]

Midwife says: "Amazing things the weavers once crafted on their looms; stories, shields, spells. So much of our history was spun upon their spools."

Which indicates ordinary spiders did not possess such abilities. Hornet does, cos half-Wyrm.

[jade canopy]

well her silk must be useful in some capacities, kidnapping her doesn't seem like something you'll do if your not sure you can use her

[quartz yew]

Yeah so I could be right. Maybe weavers silk is magic infused and spiders more like ordinary silk. Since Hornet is half wyrm, her silk is magic infused and can be used for fighting.

[stark estuary]

Yeah, I agree.

[quartz yew]

Having magic infused silk from a demi-god does sound useful.

[stark estuary]

Weavers had magic SoulSilk ™️, though idk if it was pre-infused like Hornet's or if the Soul was added to it later . Hornet does too, if anything hers is higher-quality.

[young saffron]

o w o

[primal oriole]

I assume even if the weavers had separate soul abilities, in practice they’d apply the soul to the silk immediately anyway

[stark estuary]

Yeah

[quartz yew]

Well since I had a theory that the ruler of pharloom is using silk to control the citizens, they might need Hornet silk since hers would arguably be stronger than the weavers.

Maybe weavers teach her ancient weaver magic to perform silk spells.

[thorn grotto]

So does anyone legitametly think SS is coming this year?

[quartz yew]

I'm on the fence on this one. I'll see what happens.

[young saffron]

me

[stark estuary]

I feel like the cultists went through a lot of trouble to capture Hornet specifically, indicating she'll play an important role beyond deluxe Weaver. Hard to guess what that role will be at this time, but my current theory is that it has something to do with the "Beast" mentioned in PF (who I imagine is the HB causing The Haunting).

[thorn grotto]

I'm probably gonna keep thinking "it's not coming this year"

Which is ridiculous since it's gonna come out eventually

[stark estuary]

""""eventually""""

[odd zinc]

I want the game to be over and without bags

[quartz yew]

I think Herrah was the beast they might be mentioning.

I'd laugh if the cultist bugs mistook Hornet for Herrah due to having both similar Horns and her way of controlling silk.

But maybe it has something to do with her demi-god status. I once read a theory here that the god that ruled over pharloom is dead and the cultists are using silk to keep up with the whole image. Maybe they kidnapped Hornet to replace their god, realised they fucked up and then decided to kill her.

[hardy bridge]

yeah, seems good to me!

[thorn grotto]

The closest to a release date we have is 2022

Since that's what shows up if you search up the release date

[stark estuary]

It probably isn't Herrah. They'd have no way of knowing about her, it wouldn't make sense in this context, and Herrah is like, mega dead.

[thorn grotto]

And it's below the game tag for Silksong on YouTube

[hardy bridge]

That wouldn't happen!

[stark estuary]

so true bestie

[quartz yew]

Yeah but it's just a thought. We don't know if silksong is a prequel or a sequel, so this could very well be before Herrah died.

But I'm gonna go sleep now. See ya.

[odd zinc]

i also think that google has some information

[thorn grotto]

Yeah

I'd say maybe February 18th might have new since that's when the original trailer was released

Also E3

[odd zinc]

or on 24

[thorn grotto]

We're so starved for content that anything even related to the game will make us go apeshit

[odd zinc]

I would like to see something in February. This is a very important month for the hi community

[stark estuary]

TC has released plenty of information on SS

[thorn grotto]

You mean a trailer and a demo from almost 3 years ago?

[stark estuary]

Uh... no. There's a lot more.

[short wagon]

Said that it had not seen any new messages from SilkSong in the past year

[coarse leaf]

riddles and edge

[thorn grotto]

Some riddles and a few blog posts?

[odd zinc]

The developers definitely do not want to tell us at least some information

[stark estuary]

The SS doc is 140 pages long. You can't argue that we've been "starved of content".

[stone wyvern]

I need ss

[stark estuary]

TC actually releases information at an average of two times per year, and we have a lot of info.

[odd zinc]

how many hollow knights have been developed? Years 3-4?

[thorn grotto]

What?

[short wagon]

me too

[thorn grotto]

wdym

[stark estuary]

HK's dev time isn't indicative of what SS's will be. HK was actually quite rushed.

[thorn grotto]

Yeah and SS is better since TC can afford to add more stuff?

Like we could get 25 regions instead of 15

[short wagon]

We can only hope that last year's leak from Nvidia about SilkSong's 2022 silkSong date is Feb. 1

[odd zinc]

Yes…it’s true

[stark estuary]

SS is a far larger project and with three people working on a game of that scale it's dev time thus far is neither surprising nor unwarranted.

[young saffron]

wdym

[thorn grotto]

I will shit myself if that happens

[coarse leaf]

you also have to consider the amount of experience in developing they got from hk

[odd zinc]

and budget

[short wagon]

The only information about SilkSong last year was the date of the nvidia leak

[stark estuary]

Like, even AAA titles usually take 5+ years to develop, and that's with companies who have access to a shit-ton of pre-existing assets and hundreds of workers. Obviously SS isn't a AAA game but that should give you a rough idea of just how long games take.

[short wagon]

It has been confirmed that Ares iv will be available on PC

[stark estuary]

Plus TC hired a new coder who probably wanted to start from scratch.

[young saffron]

Its been 3 years of full coding ryt? or is it 2 years?

[coarse leaf]

no news today? 😦

[split blade]

1 year anniversary of no news

[coarse leaf]

3.5

[thorn grotto]

Technically AU new years day isn't over

[coarse leaf]

but its very late there

[thorn grotto]

2.5 hours left

[short wagon]

You said that the production time of a 3A was 4-5 years, but SilkSong is not 3A. Silksong updated the blog description of TC on February 11, 2019 to make SilkSong, but we do not know whether TC was making Silksong in 2019 when they posted their blog or earlier

[odd zinc]

Of course, Cherry don't have to tell us everything, but I was really looking forward to the New Year or Christmas greetings.

[thorn grotto]

Yeah I doubt there'll be news but if it does come out in February I will be ver happy

[short wagon]

So silkSong may take 3-4 years to produce

[stark estuary]

I am aware, did you read the whole message?

[odd zinc]

at least a teaser….

[short wagon]

yep

[stark estuary]

It may, it may not. But even if it took upwards of 5 that'd hardly be surprising by industry standards, that was the point I was making.

[short wagon]

If TC starts work on SilkSong around the time of its 2019 blog launch, there should be a good chance it will launch in 2022

[thorn grotto]

Imagine if at 11:59 TC Goes
"Here's a new SS trailer it comes out in February"

[coral crow]

happy 1 year anniversary to the last bit of SS news we got

[young saffron]

I doubt there will be news, but im very positive theres something (news etc) in feb :V
and maybe march/april release 👀

[thorn grotto]

Maybe a Feb release???

[coral crow]

I want a Feb release so badly

[thorn grotto]

They probably started work in 2018

[coral crow]

it Just works

[odd zinc]

I greet you my unfortunate brother

[stark estuary]

dw it'll release in Feb ||2048 ||

[coral crow]

at this point Elden ring is gonna release before SS

[agile plover]

One day we will 🤡 up for an event and there will actually be news

[short wagon]

February is our only chance to find out if SilkSong will launch this year

[coral crow]

oh wait-

[stark estuary]

It... literally is

[odd zinc]

I do not remember exactly, but in which of the interviews they said that in the last stages of testing

[young saffron]

im expecting march :v

[fleet temple]

not really?

[thorn grotto]

Feb is where all the HK stuff comes out

[agile plover]

I'd just be happy for a 2022 release

[stark estuary]

none

[odd zinc]

too early

[thorn grotto]

HK release
First (and only) SS trailer

[short wagon]

I'm not sure

But there will be another one about Nintendo in February

[wise thunder]

me too

[coral crow]

imagine if they drop a release trailer and it goes "available now"

[short wagon]

But there will be another one about Nintendo in February

[odd zinc]

I'm interested in the price of ss

[coral crow]

20 probably

[stark estuary]

$15-20 yea

[thorn grotto]

I'm getting my ass to the store and buying that shit

[coral crow]

way too cheap like always

[stark estuary]

They won't shadowdrop it

[thorn grotto]

I just hope there'll be a physical copy

[odd zinc]

WHAT o no I have already spent everything

[agile plover]

inb4 team cherry just releases the game with no trailer, no news, nothing whatsoever

[young saffron]

If silksong releases in 2023 id be sad cause my O levels is in 2023

[coral crow]

I'd buy anything from TC for 60 tbh

[agile plover]

In the meantime at least I've got a lot of new games to play

The new pokemon, the new fnaf...

[stark estuary]

Markateing 101

[coral crow]

Feb is great bc it's just after my finals

[short wagon]

I will be very happy if it is released in February, because there will be Elden Ring and Dying Light 2. I will be very excited

[wise thunder]

I said "shut up and take my money" during the first trailer. And I hope see little Grimm in this game

[coral crow]

Feb is a month away though so aaa idk

[rustic sundial]

I dont think ss will release this year lol

[young saffron]

sadly I cant play any of that due to internet issues :v (not my fault, countries fault)

[quartz cave]

just imagine, later today team cherry says "happy now year" and just releases silksong

[short wagon]

I can play in February to three of my favorite game, the premise is silksong will be released in February

[coral crow]

does anyone know what the time diff was between HK release date drop and actual release?

[thorn grotto]

I wonder if we'll get an actual physical copy upon release

[rustic sundial]

I think it was like 2 weeks

[worthy lichen]

y'all gotta remember that february really is just another month

[quartz cave]

I dont think so but maybe after the game gets released it could exist

[coral crow]

it is and ngl I have zero hope

[rustic sundial]

Yea coulda sworn they gave no news last feb

[thorn grotto]

Because my switch needs the room

[worthy lichen]

I don't wanna kill hopes but last time we had high hopes for a date and hyped ourselves up it was a frickin dumpster fire

[sinful flare]

.. But ..

[stark estuary]

This is #sk-discussion , where rational thought is but a long lost memory.

[odd zinc]

Silksong 2077

[sinful flare]

Can i consider february spring

[young saffron]

it is also the the date when the silksong trailer, and hollow knight were released
also nvidia leak thingy (even i f it was a placeholder).

[stark estuary]

Depends where you live

[worthy lichen]

oh right my bad, silksong is coming in December 2021

[coral crow]

expect the worst that way you can never be disappointed

[short wagon]

Can only say that the February possibility is very large

[sinful flare]

Hell yeah dst on february

[stark estuary]

So true bestie!

[odd zinc]

now I play 5 pantheon out of boredom

[split tide]

Wdym coming, it’s already been released last year

[quartz cave]

Team cherry said it was gonna release ss in february... february 31

[short wagon]

Tc, after all, not in the Christmas and New Year released more news about silksong to us

[obsidian shard]

Silksong release in February, I believe...

[worthy lichen]

doesn't really mean they have have release it then, nothing solid, it's just speculation based on "they did it before whay if they do it again"

[split tide]

Just finished the silk pantheon

[worthy lichen]

idk I'm tired don't mind me

[wise thunder]

I have a question, who would you like to see in the game the most?

[young saffron]

but this is #sk-discussion theres not logical thinking here.

[odd zinc]

at least the trailer with date

[quartz cave]

wth is logical thinking? i lost my mind years ago

[split tide]

For me it’d have to be the silksong version of PoP, if TC does decide to do it

Have nothing important gated behind it ofc

[obsidian shard]

Yep

[agile plover]

almost been a year since the silksong edge magazine news

[haughty brook]

I would like to see new intersting areas to explore, which is something that its definitly going to deliver looking to all the info we had until now.

[young saffron]

? it has already been a year :o

edge was released in what? 29th of december I think? 2020

[pliant jackal]

is the February division taking new recruits?

[odd zinc]

if there is no information in February I will be disappointed

[agile plover]

I want fun and acrobatic bossfights. I want fun acrobatic shit in general

[agile plover]

a

[quartz cave]

Yeah, and I hope is not like in hk i tough fungal greenpath and queen gardens where the same

[odd zinc]

when was the latest news?

[wise thunder]

I asked "who"?
