sk-discussion

[uncut citrus]

having lore at the end of totally optional things is a good way to like have a reason to do it, or something that doesnt really affect the game but only the story

[lost coyote]

oh yeah no I agree with the ending thing, godhome should never really have had an ending tacked onto it as it just wasnt necessary

[rotund wolf]

and i think that absurtly hard bosses should be locked behind some absurtly hard stuff, kinda like penance in FFX

[brittle garnet]

I'm saying that Silksong doesn't need a godhome or pantheons, and it wouldn't be a lesser experience without it

[rotund wolf]

you could never fight it without doing a lotta work to get to him

[rotund wolf]

i would find it a lesser experience imo

[hybrid stone]

id much rather it does tho, since refighting bosses is what makes hollow knight fun

[lost coyote]

personally I think it would be worse but it depends what other content they have, i know way way way too little to judge properly

[uncut citrus]

we you can only reach Absrad after beating every bosses in a row with ascended area

[brittle garnet]

Godhome is not supposed to be the main draw of Hollow Knight

[ocean mulch]

I think what makes hollow knight fun is exploring hallownest

[rotund wolf]

in FFX you had to capture every enemy, then fight 20 or so more bosses only to unlock penance

[hybrid stone]

makes it fun now*

[stoic path]

I wonder how a Godhome area would work in Silksong anyways, I mean to enter Godhome we needed the Dream nail in HK. What would we do in Silksong if it was integrated as part of the actual game? Though tbf, we don't really know much about Silksong to make that judgement.

[lost coyote]

no but it's a brilliant feature that they have no reason to abandon in silksong

[opaque sigil]

And this is what the core game emphasizes

[hybrid stone]

exploring hallownest is the fun part first, then afterwards godhome makes it fun

[opaque sigil]

It's a game about exploration, not soulless grinding against bosses

[rotund wolf]

exploring stays fun for so long, but evetually you know the layout

[opaque sigil]

Soulless grinding is fine, some people like that, but it isn't a natural inclusion in the game

[hybrid stone]

this

[zealous crown]

Soulless? You mean Hollow (Knight) I will now shut up

[brittle garnet]

well, they have the reason that they'd have to make and implement it again

[ocean mulch]

I know the layout but I still try to do stuff in a different order

[rotund wolf]

godhome allows you to get to know the ins and outs of the bosses too, so you can know absolutely everything about the game

[lost coyote]

exactly, I see exploring Hallownest as the main game, then Godhome as the endgame content for when you've explored everything and want a challenge

[hybrid stone]

this is what i meant to say

[drowsy pike]

I think whether you like fighting against the bosses or not, SS should 100% have boss fight replayability

[lost coyote]

yeah boss replayability is a really really nice feature

[brittle garnet]

oh yeah boss replays would be good, but I don't think Pantheons or a boss rush would be necessary

[ocean mulch]

The thing is Godhome isn't reserved for endgame you can go there basically after soul master I think

[opaque sigil]

If you just see godhome as a reasonable way to milk more playtime out of the game when you're tired of the core game, that's fine, but that doesn't make godhome good

[hybrid stone]

oh no i agree

[stoic path]

If it is not directly part of the game and is clearly considered as end game/side content then I would agree.

[brittle garnet]

like I don't think that Pantheons are a good endgame for a game like Hollow Knight

[hybrid stone]

that's not why iys fun, its about playing to improve in the endgame rather than just playing after youre "tired of the game".

[rotund wolf]

then why is godhome itself bad, not compared to the ideas of the main game

[brittle garnet]

Godhome is technically post-game more than endgame, or even a side-game

[sacred stratus]

bcs it's not an endgame it's just a little expansion for those who love the combat and want to test their limits

[opaque sigil]

It's not bad, it's fine

[stoic path]

Oh yeah that's the word I was searching for. Thanks

[lost coyote]

yeah but if you go there early on then nothing is unlocked yet, or if stuff is unlocked then itll be way too hard for someone in the middle of their first playthrough to do and they'd just remind themselves to come back later on

[untold flower]

Guys is this silk song disscussion shade soul disscussion or social studies disscussion

[ocean mulch]

Shaman stone discussion

[coarse leaf]

it's steel soul discussion

[opaque sigil]

Godhome is a fine addition. It's very bad at the things the rest of the game does well, but whatever. It's fine.

[stoic path]

It's a discussion about sakon

[small mica]

are you perhaps new here?

[rotund wolf]

but that makes the game itself more varied

[hybrid stone]

soup study discussion

[brittle garnet]

If Silk Soul is gonna turn out to be a fun challenging mode as opposed to permadeath, then that could provide the extra challenge

[opaque sigil]

Having an inconsistent experience isn't a good thing just because it's "more varied"

[rotund wolf]

just make the hp of everything 10x as much

[hybrid stone]

silk soul?

[lost coyote]

this is making me realise how many hollow knight related things have SS as their initials

[coarse leaf]

Does anyone else think Grimm Troupe should've been longer, instead of ending it quick and starting godmaster?

[rotund wolf]

yes

[tough glen]

wdym

[hybrid stone]

yes

[sacred stratus]

like we have a dedicated area for platforming (the white palace and PoP) so godhome is a dedicated area for combat

[brittle garnet]

Yeah, it's gonna be a mode you unlock after beating the game, like Steel Soul, but it supposedly won't just be a permadeath mode

[coarse leaf]

as if they never worked on godmaster, instead spent that effort on more content for grimm troupe

[opaque sigil]

Except those aren't the same thing at all

[stoic path]

Silks soul mode will apparently bring a unique twist to the game to make it challenging

[brittle garnet]

I know but that doesn't tell us much

[stoic path]

Yeah I wonder what that twist is

[opaque sigil]

It tells us it's not steel soul, at least

[sacred stratus]

I hope it means items are more expensive, bosses are harder and there are more higher-tier mobs

[nimble radish]

colosseum is more of a dedicated combat area, godhome is dlc content

[sacred stratus]

in addition to the no death rule

[lost coyote]

the whole idea of hollow knight expansions itself has an issue, it's hard to add meaningful things onto a game like HK and still have it flow well and make sense.

this is probably why they are taking longer to make silksong, they don't want to tack on any dlc later on and change the lore

[stoic path]

Maybe something like that?

[brittle garnet]

That's not a particularly unique twist

[opaque sigil]

Steel Soul was pretty underwhelming, built in permadeath is redundant, and it didn't really do anything to make the game harder aside from that

[brittle garnet]

well yeah, the expansions happened because TC didn't have enough time to add everything they wanted into HK at release

[sacred stratus]

HK in itself is not very unique, it's all about execution

[tough glen]

You know Lifeblood came out between them, right?

[sacred stratus]

Lifeblood was mainly polishing the game

[coarse leaf]

^

[lost coyote]

yeah dont get me wrong, the expansions are great and I understand that they ran out of time and that's why they had to do them

[stoic path]

And hive knight

[tough glen]

Yeah but more time passed between GT and Lifeblood than Lifeblood and Godmaster

[opaque sigil]

The expansions kinda aren't great tho

They're better than nothing but definitely not ideal

[tough glen]

because they probably were already working on godmaster at the time

[mint valve]

the grim troupe. god master

[opaque sigil]

You mean the glorified fetch quests?

[lost coyote]

I really like them, the grimm troupe is the only one that's like ehhhh but it has NKG so I dont care

[coarse leaf]

Well then I believe that instead of lifeblood + godmaster, they should've made a big GT update, with the balancing changes from LB in either another update or mixed with GT
i wouldn't care if that ends up being a paid dlc

[opaque sigil]

The content updates were a product of the unfortunate circumstances of TC running out of money and having to release the game before it was done

[tough glen]

GT wasn't meant to be DLC in the first place, they just couldn't put it into the base game due to reasons

[stoic path]

Grimm troupe was fine, you kinda just search for flame and expand your smol boi to big boi and defeat Chad and pissed Chad and that's kinda it

[coarse leaf]

i didn't like godmaster's concept too much but GT's lore possibilities seemed great

[stark estuary]

I still don't understand why the Lifeblood expansion was referred to as such even though it was just a glorified patch with an extra boss.

[coarse leaf]

it isn't a dlc tho

[tough glen]

Fine, content pack

Same point

[zealous crown]

Call it “Extra Content”

[coarse leaf]

Well, i'm fine with a boss rush mode, but still i disliked how they made them %'s and gated excellent bosses like PV behind bosses you had already done

[tough glen]

wdym?
it was just called Lifeblood

What's wrong with that?

[coarse leaf]

a boss rush mode without any new bosses and not a % would've been fine

[opaque sigil]

Or even just godseeker mode

[stark estuary]

But yeah, Lifeblood and Hidden Dreams were very bare bones "expansions" with very little to them. Grimm Troupe was a glorified fetch quest but at least the new bosses were fun. Godmaster was by far the most substantial but I understand why it wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

[zealous crown]

One thing that is certain is that combat in silksong will be more fluid and fast paced since hornet is a fast character with a lance like weapon

[brittle garnet]

they had to call it something? Like console port was called Voidheart edition

[coarse leaf]

and wouldn't have taken too much time to implement probably because no technical new content

[tough glen]

They were all meant to be base game anyways

[jaunty zenith]

any information about ss?

[zealous crown]

More clowning

[coarse leaf]

shaman stone was added to the game in 2017

[stark estuary]

I am aware, yes.

[lost coyote]

TC are fans of having content locked behind large skill walls, the fact that they even made the land of storms is pretty cool considering barely anyone has probably even seen it

[nimble radish]

I heard they already had sly and such planned they just needed somewhere to put them

[brittle garnet]

they had them made

[lost coyote]

sly and the nailmasters could have just been in their huts/shop

[zealous crown]

Silksong’s combat seems fast as hell since you can heal 2 masks in a second

[opaque sigil]

They weren't talking about challenge, but about repetition

[stark estuary]

Land of Storms is barely "content" but I get where you're coming from. The main issue people have in that regard is that an ending and achievement were locked behind P5.

[coarse leaf]

sly fighting for his sleep and realising we are on grimm's side. u l t i m a t e GT content

[signal crag]

3 masks at once

[lost coyote]

oh right, personally I never minded the repetition because the bosses are so fun to fight every single time

[opaque sigil]

Godseeker mode is a nice addition since it unlocks the bosses immediately, but it doesn't unlock absrad for some reason

[stark estuary]

Not all of them though

[lost coyote]

oh yeah PoH is super hard yet they animated a whole cutscene for it

[zealous crown]

It just gets better

[nimble radish]

not having a reward would be lame

[opaque sigil]

It barely has a reward

[coarse leaf]

^^

[glossy gazelle]

Probably because it’s unlocked behind just completing the first 3 pantheons and not wanting to spoil the final boss in case you wanted to switch modes

[zealous crown]

Do y’all think primal aspid will be back?

(I hope not)

[opaque sigil]

And it's not like PoP had one. TC expecting players to be intrinsically motivated has precedent

[stark estuary]

The "easy fix" most people have suggested would be to have benches act as actual saves and add a bench binding.

[glossy gazelle]

Why would it

[nimble radish]

so why complain about the ending being there

[lost coyote]

they could easily, and rightfully, not given a reward for completing all the bindings tbh

[zealous crown]

They want us to suffer

[coarse leaf]

well the players did do the modded bosses

[opaque sigil]

Legitimizes godhome as the actual ending of a "normal" playthrough

[stark estuary]

The only reward for doing AB is that they glow after

[glossy gazelle]

It’s a completely different kingdom why would the primal aspid migrate there

[lost coyote]

I meant all bindings singularly, I'm talking about the land of storms

[opaque sigil]

It has SoB, winged nosk, and PV unlocked

[zealous crown]

The Knight’s Void Form as a secret boss in the sequel?

[glossy gazelle]

I have no issue with embrace the void being an ending tbh

[lost coyote]

they are the most powerful beings ever they will find a way

[zealous crown]

He’s got a point

[glossy gazelle]

Unless you are a completionist you don’t have to complete PoH

[tropic mica]

Unfortunately yes

[tiny glen]

Primal aspids won’t be there but a new stronger aspid species will be there

[stark estuary]

Yeah but let's be real - people don't do every binding in order to see Land of Storms, they do it either because they enjoy the challenge or to prove that they can.

[stoic path]

I honestly don't see the point of the pantheons. It just feels repetitive and tedious, and it's also locking two endings right behind it which I find rather strange. I feel like it's fine in context of HK, but I still, I believe that focusing on just the HoG would have been better: fighting whatever boss you want to and adjusting the difficulty to your hearts content.

[shell cedar]

eventually

[zealous crown]

Will the Moss Prophet return?

GOOOWAAAA GALAKA

[coarse leaf]

you can say that for every part of the game

[opaque sigil]

You don't have to, but the ending suggests that the pantheons are more integral to the experience than it actually is

[tiny glen]

It’s just an extra

[coarse leaf]

tbh can't sly and the brothers just be hidden dreams lmao

[zealous crown]

They didn’t die so idk

[lost coyote]

I usually dont like boss rushes in games but HK's combat is so fun and fluid that I dont mind it this time lmao

[coarse leaf]

dung defender doesn't die either

[opaque sigil]

At some point adding more dream boss variants would stop making sense in terms of rewards

[zealous crown]

Yes he becomes DOODOO destroyer

[opaque sigil]

The player doesn't need more than 2400 essence or whatever the number was

[lost coyote]

isnt there a poop town in the silksong trailer

[coarse leaf]

just give the nail people some sleep TC easy escape for new bosses

[zealous crown]

No it’s bells

[tough glen]

Part of me kinda wishes P5 AB hitless was a %
What

[lost coyote]

I don't think anyone has even completed that?

[tough glen]

Around a dozen

Oh wait AB hitless

[coarse leaf]

r5ab was never done

[lost coyote]

no that numbers for just p5 hitless, not p5 AB hitless

[coarse leaf]

someone would probably do that tbh

[zealous crown]

Is the map guy going to be there again or is he still taking a nap with his wife

[coarse leaf]

our community is too miserable

[tough glen]

Where?

[zealous crown]

We are craving news or content

[zealous crown]

In the shop when you buy all the maps

[coarse leaf]

i don't want to see cornifer losing his memory that's what happened to quirrel and knight when they went out of hallownest

[lost coyote]

if you complete PoH without getting hit then the oval thing that appears when you complete the pantheon goes dark in the middle, but this is replaced by the white if you do it with AB

[tough glen]

So confused about your question

[zealous crown]

Yeah he’s gonna forget how to hum

[nimble radish]

one guy almost did r5ab and got hit on absrad kek

[stone wyvern]

doxxed wtf

[opaque sigil]

Game acknowledges P5AB and P5 hitless, it does not acknowledge P5AB hitless

[zealous crown]

When you buy all the maps from cornifer you find him in the shop in
dirtmouth sleeping (more hints it’s with his BAFANADA wife)

[coarse leaf]

yeah doesn't ab just assert dominance over r

[alpine zephyr]

Ello

[tough glen]

What's your actual question though

[opaque sigil]

I believe so, yes

[zealous crown]

Is he going to be in silksong in some capacity

[coarse leaf]

they were talking about cornifer being in silksong

[tough glen]

No

[zealous crown]

You can’t be so sure

[tough glen]

Yes I can

[opaque sigil]

Why would he be in silksong

[stoic path]

Isn't he replaced by shakra?

[tough glen]

"replaced" <- ew

[nimble radish]

final boss lets go

[zealous crown]

As much as how I want a primal aspid plushie to burn in in a ditch

[tough glen]

whoops my bad, cornifer is definitely in ss

[stoic path]

Sorry not replaced, more like Shakra is just the map maker in SS

[tough glen]

[alpine zephyr]

How are peeps

[coarse leaf]

elderbug is silksong first boss

[sullen fractal]

How many bosses total were there in hollow knight?

[coarse leaf]

silksong is a multi protagonist game and in the first hour you're grimm defending yourself because elderbuf didnt get sleep

[zealous crown]

Zamn too bad it’s a land about silk and song

[coarse leaf]

noo i know my tc will add nightmare realm

[zealous crown]

YO I JUST REALIZED

Silksong has worms and silkworms

So are the grubs back since they are now butterflies?

[stoic path]

Nope, instead of Grubs we have Fleas

[coarse leaf]

Fucking shits arent getting trapped again are they?!

[sullen fractal]

I'm really curious if they're going to have some kind of substitute for the dream nail. That was a really good way to fit in extra boss fights in the hollow knight.

[coarse leaf]

Here is the player saving them once again for a silk ore or something probably

[stoic path]

"Those damn grubs are trapped again, and they can fly now!"

[coarse leaf]

Whatever they do I hope we don't get the bad warrior dreams again
Like, look at elder hu, the game has a quality difference of 5000 between bosses like nkg and elder hu

[alpine zephyr]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

[stoic path]

Which is better here?

[coarse leaf]

NKG ofc

[zealous crown]

Idk how since the collector is now dead

[alpine zephyr]

Collector 2

[coarse leaf]

boss with a good variety in attacks, and RNG isn't annoying
Elder Hu meanwhile, disappears from the screen if ur rng bad

[stoic path]

Oh yeah that bothers me a lot haha

[zealous crown]

Oh shit oh fuck

[coarse leaf]

There's times when your rng is so bad he does that attack in a row

[opaque sigil]

Not every boss can be a banger

[alpine zephyr]

Why we talking about ss btw?

[coarse leaf]

In that case just don't have boring ones like hu

[opaque sigil]

There are always going to be some that are better than others

[stoic path]

Why not?

[alpine zephyr]

Cus this off topic 2

[opaque sigil]

The worse ones will always look worse by comparison, if you just start cutting them out you eventually end up with only a handful

Sure elder hu wasn't the most fun, but he was fine for what he is

The warrior dreams were not really designed to be as involved as other fights

[alpine zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-agree-yes-gif-23902686

[coarse leaf]

i'm not saying just "worse", i'm saying how boring he was because all you need for him is sdash
also he would've been 200% less boring if they didn't make him disappear from the screen

[zealous crown]

Can’t wait to have to do path of pain with hornet

AND ITS WORSE SINC SHE HAS MORE MOVEMENT OPTIONS

[opaque sigil]

Shadow dash kinda trivializes a lot of bosses that were designed to be fought at a time when you didn't have it

[stoic path]

I like the idea of Elder Hu, but him disintegrating is kinda boring

[runic valley]

how much do you all think silksong will cost?

[opaque sigil]

That's a necessary evil for a nonlinear game

[zealous crown]

Not really has a cool down and they still fun to fight

[stoic path]

I bet it's gonna cost 25 apples

[opaque sigil]

Cooldown doesn't really matter, you don't need the dash to dodge things anyways, it just is free evasion. Fun to fight is subjective

[zealous crown]

Whatever the price is I’m getting it

[opaque sigil]

Silksong will probably be $15

[stoic path]

Jokes aside, I feel like it'll be $25

[runic valley]

they said it'll be a lot bigger than hk, so I think it will be more

[opaque sigil]

Price:content ratio isn't a priority

[steady radish]

They said they'll keep the price nearly the same as hk?

[opaque sigil]

$15 was a superb success for HK, increasing it wouldn't really be necessary, and a substantial increase would both be counterproductive to explicit priority and could potentially harm sales

[runic valley]

ohhh

[stoic path]

Oh, I guess it'll be something around $15 then, huh?

[steady radish]

Maybe they'll just release some dlcs then

[zealous crown]

Watch be on sale after a few months

[stoic path]

They said that they don't know how to do DLCs

[runic valley]

I'll still save up a bit more than that just to be sure

[steady radish]

B e f o r e

[opaque sigil]

TC has other projects lined up, and there isn't really compelling reason to do dlcs

Paid or otherwise

[small goblet]

regional prices actually don't equal to these 15 bucks at all, for example in russia hk costs around 6-7$

[opaque sigil]

I am aware. but their statement still stands

[steady radish]

Releasing games seperately i guess? Kinda like EA but less annoying

[opaque sigil]

If they consider $15 (or its regionally priced equivalents) to be a reasonable price point, and consider it ideal to reach a sizable audience, then there's no real reason to deviate

[supple flume]

when u guys think silksong is going to launch?

[stoic path]

I honestly never liked the idea of paid DLC. Why not make the whole game have that content? And if you are making DLC, wouldn't it better to make it free?

[runic valley]

I'm betting on february

[supple flume]

me too

[opaque sigil]

And being a small team TC's expenditures are relatively low, they don't need to make that much money (compared to other larger dev teams) in order to be successful

[steady radish]

Depends on the creator really but i think team cherry wouldn't do that to us

[stoic path]

I forgot about this, yeah it's a small team. $15 per sales + Steam's 30% cut is probably more than enough for TC

[opaque sigil]

SS was originally intended as a paid dlc, it's not like the concept is inconceivable for TC

[stoic path]

I just realized something...
It's January 2022...
Oh my god...

[tiny glen]

I’m hyped to see non hollow knight game made by team cherry

[opaque sigil]

Yes, it will be interesting to see what they do with a clean slate

[stoic path]

Imagine the game releasing February, that's just a month away 👀

[opaque sigil]

SS, while not suffering for it, is bound by the mechanics of HK

[hybrid stone]

is it tho?

[opaque sigil]

Yes

It's a sequel. In order to function as a sequel, it builds upon the predecessor

[supple flume]

yesssss

[opaque sigil]

Pretty much any series is going to have a lot of common threads, that's just how franchises work

[stoic path]

I would love to see that Top-down zelda style game Ari mentioned they wanted to make. Was it called Fearless Fox or something?

[opaque sigil]

If you make a sequel and completely rewrite the script, you could alienate the fanbase

Hence they are bound by the predecessor

[supple flume]

I'm excited to the new quests functionality

[hybrid stone]

built upon ≠ bound by

[opaque sigil]

SS is fundamentally restricted by the sort of game HK was

[hybrid stone]

not restricted

[opaque sigil]

Yes restricted

[nimble radish]

shandoooooooow

[opaque sigil]

They couldn't make it a 3d fps and still call it a sequel to hollow knight, that just wouldn't make sense

[hybrid stone]

yes same style but it can develop, it doesn't need to do the same

[hybrid stone]

that doesnt mean its restricted, it just has to be the same genre

[noble trellis]

holy shot i only just realised that

[opaque sigil]

It doesn't have to be identical but it has to be a reasonable iteration of existing systems, that is a restriction

[supple flume]

Isn't it a prequel to hollow knight?

[stoic path]

Idk, I just wanna explore a new world. I've played HK waaaaay too many times and unfortunately with spoilers too. Man, it's gonna be awesome to go into a TC game fully blind!

[nimble radish]

no it's an interquel

[opaque sigil]

SS is limited in what it can be because it is presented as a sequel to another game

[nimble radish]

is it?

[supple flume]

Yess, I played for the first time without any spoilers and was the best gaming experience of my life

[opaque sigil]

In order to make sense as a sequel to HK mechanically, it needs to share common features

[stoic path]

Lucky 😳

[alpine zephyr]

Tammoto

That’s why gruberflies will be a thing

[tough glen]

I remember my first time stepping into dirtmouth

[steady radish]

Yeah i agree sometimes going out of ur game's design will alienate players but resident evil 4 did that beautifully and created a whole new game

[opaque sigil]

afaik Resident Evil 4 still carried aspects of the design of its predecessors

It was a significant change, certainly, but it was still an iteration on older games

It didn't totally wipe the slate and start over

An effective sequel has to strike a balance between introduction of new systems and concepts and preservation (and alteration) of existing ones

A game that doesn't do anything new comes off as dry and repetitive, a game that doesn't carry over any aspects of its predecessors loses all connections with them

[brazen needle]

The dirtmouth song has some serious nostalgia for me because I let it run while I went to do something else, so each note is just driven into my mind. Every time I go back up there, there's something about it that's just so great

[steady radish]

Yeah it makes me wonder how they will execute new resident evil games besides changing stories, as for silksong the new movement makes it a whole new game for me adding that with the quest system

[brazen needle]

And even just the fact that it's a new map would make me super excited anyways

If someone just took hollow knight and all it's features and put it in a new area I would be super hyped.

[opaque sigil]

Well for metroidvania games the map isn't just where the gameplay takes place, it's a part of the gameplay itself

[brazen needle]

Yeah

[opaque sigil]

Even if room-to-room gameplay were similar, a new map would change the broader experience pretty significantly, although I do think that just map changes wouldn't be sufficient to make a good sequel

[stable quiver]

do we know anything about the Feb 1 release date?

[opaque sigil]

It holds no real weight

[stable quiver]

wouldnt it make sense tho

Hk was relased in Fed

and SS was announced in Feb

[opaque sigil]

There are any number of dates that would "make sense," that isn't a particularly concrete argument

[stable quiver]

thats true

I guess just we hope for 2022

[steady radish]

Still TBA on Steam, i hope we get it this year, if not now then next year

[ocean mulch]

I think the next one thousand days make a lot of sense to be the release of silksong

[stable quiver]

didnt someone of the discord say that it was almost done and team cherry was just adding things and polishing

[brazen needle]

I think it will be this year, maybe in feb, but almost certainly not on the first

[ocean mulch]

Why is your username what it is

[stable quiver]

idk

[opaque sigil]

No

[ocean mulch]

Fair enough

[brazen needle]

Graig did

[stable quiver]

oh ok

[opaque sigil]

He didn't say it was almost done

[brazen needle]

He said the main game is done

[opaque sigil]

He said it might have been out by now if TC hadn't kept building the game, which is a nonstatement

[ocean mulch]

he said core game could be released but TC be adding more bidoof

[brazen needle]

But they're adding the little details, which could take a while

[opaque sigil]

"core game" is meaningless for a game like SS

[ocean mulch]

Not little they're adding big stuff

[opaque sigil]

The "core game" would be super barebones

[steady radish]

I hope they add a shit ton of references

[stable quiver]

I also saw that they started updating HK again, could that mean anything

[opaque sigil]

Even if the core game was done, it would not stand without a world built around it

[opaque sigil]

Probably not

[brazen needle]

there were almost none in hk so i doubt it

[stable quiver]

damn

[opaque sigil]

HK updates have been going on for like a year now, so they probably don't have any immediate implications

[steady radish]

Then again lore people might say things like hk canonically has this and that

[stable quiver]

I'm just hoping we get some news in Feb

[nimble radish]

a year you say
exactly how long we've been lacking in updates

[ocean mulch]

HK void lake update

[nimble radish]

I've cracked it

[stable quiver]

have you

[brazen needle]

I don't hold it against them, but just a simple "we're still working on it" would be nice

[ocean mulch]

They're still working on it
There I did it for them

[brazen needle]

Thanks

that helps a lot

[ocean mulch]

👍

[steady radish]

If team cherry was more on the social part the wait would me more easier to endure

[stable quiver]

yup

[brazen needle]

yup

[ocean mulch]

I don't think it would
They wouldn't show any game stuff

People still wouldn't be satisfied

[coral crow]

ah well let's hope for a direct soon

[ocean mulch]

Team Cherry direct?

[coral crow]

Nintendo direct

[steady radish]

Any connection from a developer in a fanbase is good

[stable quiver]

didn't that just happen?

[opaque sigil]

Inane twitter posts would hardly be meaningful connection

[coral crow]

idk

I don't follow them

[stable quiver]

last years direct was in Feb so maybe then

[coral crow]

feb👀👀👀

[stable quiver]

everything lines up lol

[coral crow]

imean it kinda does doesn't it

[fervent reef]

Shaw

[coral crow]

pain

[stable quiver]

whats TGA

[coral crow]

the game awards

[runic valley]

the game awards

[stable quiver]

thank you

[brazen needle]

I got the game in march or something, so I've never seen any silk song news.

[coral crow]

I got the game late 2019

[stable quiver]

I got HK in September

[coral crow]

the riddles were the first bit of news I actually followed

[stable quiver]

and it has become my favorite game

[coral crow]

same here, that and omori

[steady radish]

Got the game on new year, I'm near finishing it

[coral crow]

already???

[brazen needle]

That's fast

[steady radish]

Yeah I've been playing my ass off

24 hours on savefile record

[normal hinge]

🤝

[coral crow]

there's 50 hrs of gameplay excluding dlc h o w

[steady radish]

Dudududuuu

[odd plover]

I been seeking for silksong news ever since that dreadful morning of 14 of February 2019

[steady radish]

Im at 103% now

[brazen needle]

I didn't get the first ending until a couple weeks ago.

[coral crow]

damn, respect

[stable quiver]

is there a reason TC doesn't give news?

[coral crow]

they've shut themselves off from what I recall

[brazen needle]

to be fair, I didn't get the first ending first, I got sealed siblings first

[coral crow]

worst ending

[odd plover]

Respect? This is a curse

[pastel nebula]

😩

[coral crow]

[steady radish]

Got the first ending and the second is about to be radiance thing but i havent fought it yet cuz i wanted to complete the map

[stable quiver]

For the past week I have just been watching a bunch of youtubers talk about SS and its making me crazy

[steady radish]

How do u get sealed siblings?

[alpine zephyr]

Wdym

[rocky jewel]

I thought you can continue playing after beating the radiance and only ended the game with 110%

You don't dream nail the knight

[tawdry valley]

Don’t, any half decent Ytber knows there’s nearly nothing to say

[rocky jewel]

When hornet holds him

[steady radish]

Wait what u cant continue it after beating it?

[rocky jewel]

Nope

[steady radish]

Not even godhome?

[rocky jewel]

I mean, you have your last save

[coral crow]

there's no new game +

[rocky jewel]

And you can load that, but after the final fight, it throws you out

[tawdry valley]

@steady radish all endings are possible in one save file.
Sealed siblings is what happens when you try to do dream no more, but don’t fight the radiance.

You get an ending, credits roll, and then you spawn outside the boss room right before you got the ending.

[steady radish]

Wtf is dream no more ending? Killing the radiance?

[stable quiver]

I watched Mossbags videos and Rusty.

[tawdry valley]

Yeah.

[tawdry valley]

I do not think mossbag has posted anything SS related recently.

[steady radish]

Guess I'll get that ending tomorrow morning once i wake up, gn folks I've been trying to sleep for 3 hours now it's 3am

[stable quiver]

yeah, i watched his old ones

[tawdry valley]

Your pain mild discomfort is of your own doing.

[coarse leaf]

Ss has been released

Only for the first 30 backers of HK

The rest need to wait for another year and half

[tawdry valley]

Kill John Lennon

[coarse leaf]

Since the production is taking this long, would you expect that they would up the price

Maybe additional stuff will be added

[serene chasm]

probably not and if so, not by much

[tawdry valley]

No because the pricing is both a smart financial move as well as a decision the developers have shown intent to stick with

[stable quiver]

if that was true wouldn't we get leaks or videos

[coarse leaf]

Maybe they were told to never show until its release

I heard of few games that happened like that, where the first people couldn't stream it

[stable quiver]

ya but people don't listen

and another year and a half?

[coarse leaf]

True

[coarse leaf]

I want to increase the pain and reality of the SS situation

[stable quiver]

thank you for doing so

[coarse leaf]

It's been 3 years like

Now four I believe

[hardy gulch]

Closer to three

[stable quiver]

2 I think

[hardy gulch]

Feels like more

[coarse leaf]

Wasn't it first mentioned in 2017 or 18

[stable quiver]

the last time we got news was like a year ago

[hardy gulch]

Announced early 2019

So yeah, like 3

[coarse leaf]

They mentioned of making it in 2018

Well making other dlcs content for HK

So 4 years

I know... that why people gone quiet

I wouldn't be surprised if they release it when Crowsworn announces its official release date

[hardy gulch]

Idk about that one

[coarse leaf]

Which?

[hardy gulch]

All of this

[coarse leaf]

We see

[hardy gulch]

Unless team cherry is best buds with the crowsworn devs, I don’t see that happening

[coarse leaf]

Well their marketing guy is on both sides

But who really knows

[coral glacier]

Do y'all think SS will be releases this year or next year

[brazen needle]

I think this year, but maybe that's just wishful thinking

[coral glacier]

I hope its tomorrow

If it doesnt release tomorrow, I will do absolutely nothing

[mental jacinth]

me too

[coarse leaf]

i will be enjoying the last day of winter break tomorrow if silksong does not come out

[shy stirrup]

That cant be real no way

Why is the background and foreground so...weird

[mortal bluff]

Exactly

[tame widget]

& the flying moss bug look traced

[coarse leaf]

Wtf is this

[turbid kite]

:(

[olive bobcat]

You have to state it's fake

[coral glacier]

[shy stirrup]

Wait was that fake

[olive bobcat]

Yeah, Knightmere made it

[tame widget]

also the masks weren't aligned

[shy stirrup]

Ohhh k

[mortal bluff]

I was seeing if anyone would notice

[turbid kite]

is that the one itch io game that misspells fullscreen on its title card

[olive bobcat]

yes, the mods

[shy stirrup]

I was pog

[turbid kite]

oh i didnt notice

[tame widget]

i'm not a mod but I saw it was fake anyway

[mortal bluff]

I have no clue, I think it’s possible 🤔

[turbid kite]

i haven't watched the silksong trailer

[olive bobcat]

Lucky you

[mortal bluff]

Wait what

[shy stirrup]

Huh?

[ocean mulch]

Sock I don't believe you

[coral glacier]

Krampus, tell us the silksong release date, we know the discord admins are hiding it from us

[ocean mulch]

I mean
You're THE sock

[turbid kite]

i think i might've seen it at the very beginning

which is like. 2 years ago?

i didnt actually listen to the music bits released either until 1-2 months ago

[ocean mulch]

Not watching the trailer when it came out was impossible

[turbid kite]

at most i know the basic characters due to emotes + that fucked up grass horse, which i didnt want to know about

[coral glacier]

I havent seen the actual trailer aswell, but i did watch mossbag

[turbid kite]

i still haven't watched mossbag's anything

[ocean mulch]

I don't know what moss llama horse pony dog is about in silksong
I don't want to kill it

[coral glacier]

How

[marsh ibex]

sock just does art

and is stinky

they don’t do silksong

[turbid kite]

yeah all i do is shitpost, eat hot chip, and lie

[ocean mulch]

Don't do sock like that

[ocean mulch]

I read that as die

[turbid kite]

i die too

like earlier

[coral glacier]

On the inside or outside

[turbid kite]

it's a surprise

[coral glacier]

[tame widget]

Do you think the Moss Llamas will flee when they see Hornet?

[radiant wraith]

They spit fire at Hornet

[mint valve]

they could be like the birds in greenpath

[glossy gazelle]

It’s close to being 3 years since the initial trailer

[mint valve]

though I doubt it

[mint valve]

with no silksong

[coral glacier]

Silksong is already out, wdym

[serene chasm]

[coral glacier]

Remove the server

[warm bone]

1st half, yes
2nd half, no

[serene chasm]

[jade canopy]

Better remove ss discussion

[coral glacier]

Nah, im just a realist

[small goblet]

so "team cherry is" - yes, "working really hard to put SS out in Feb/March" - no?

[serene chasm]

If you cant make a face using only text, thats on you

[warm bone]

I don't think you know what a half is

[coral glacier]

And ban everyone who talks about SS in other channels

[hybrid stone]

[zealous crown]

OH shit OH FUCK

[hybrid stone]

[zealous crown]

Hornet is made of void

[coral glacier]

Yes, trust

[hybrid stone]

your opinion is wrong

[serene chasm]

Hey. Did you know #hk-meme exists. Go there

[hybrid stone]

yes please memers

[zealous crown]

Hornet is made of bones

[hybrid stone]

hornet is vteam cherryid

[zealous crown]

hornet is made of silk and song

[hybrid stone]

hornet is a weaver

[zealous crown]

no she is not a ball you idiot

[hybrid stone]

wdym ofc she is

[small goblet]

hornet is knight reincarnated
||matpat 2||

[zealous crown]

nah she's a grill fork not a spider ball

[coral glacier]

Hornet is whitelady

palewyrm is hornet as a child

[zealous crown]

hornet is the hollow knight :trollface:

[mint valve]

no

[coral glacier]

Hornet is a bug

[zealous crown]

Hornet is a sharp ping pong ball

[hybrid stone]

hornet fight milkwrong

[hollow terrace]

Stop

[small goblet]

see guys, hornet is knight

[hollow terrace]

The joke ran its course

[coral glacier]

Or has it?

[hybrid stone]

oh god no

[zealous crown]

Yeah Hornet can run with the new sprint button

[stable quiver]

Does anyone think Cloth will be in SS?

[stark estuary]

No

[zealous crown]

nope ded

[stark estuary]

Not necessarily

[zealous crown]

nah cloth likes being ded

[stone wyvern]

Cloth is dead

[hardy gulch]

Nope
ded.

[coral glacier]

Why would cloth be in SS

[stark estuary]

If you don't speak to Cloth prior to fighting TL she does not die, and instead leaves Hallownest.

[zealous crown]

YO GUYS WHAT ABOUT MR MUSHROOM?

[stable quiver]

ya

[hybrid stone]

elderbug in ss please

[coral glacier]

MAYBE QUIRREL IS IN SS

[hybrid stone]

"death_nail"

[stiff burrow]

I don't think any char from HK (except Hornet, duh) will be in SS

[coral glacier]

100% WILL be in ss

[small goblet]

hope he is in ss

[stiff burrow]

Oh and maybe Mr Mushroom would make sense

[coral glacier]

Fuck

[zealous crown]

it has "To be continued" soooooooooo

[stark estuary]

Filenames aren't canon but yeah, Quirrel's death is almost certain.

[coral glacier]

Mushroom man has visited every TC game

[zealous crown]

Mr Mushroom is undying he'll be in SS

[hybrid stone]

he seemed sad as the game progressed

[small goblet]

he just gets older

[stone wyvern]

Ok but all endings are equally canon so who knows what happens to cloth.

[zealous crown]

Depends if characters are there or not depending on the events of first game and the ending

[solemn tartan]

Schrodinger’s cloth

[hybrid stone]

oh yeah because sesled siblings is canon ofc, despite hornet being locked in the black egg

[coral glacier]

Cloth will reincarnate to become hornet

[zealous crown]

well its canon the right ending is the one where hornet don't DIE

[stark estuary]

Yes, I am aware. The simplest and most likely solution to that is Cloth not appearing in the game at all and her fate remaining unknown.

[small goblet]

but there's no canon ending

[warm bone]

all of them are

[hybrid stone]

the canon ending is dream no more for sure

[stark estuary]

Seal-Breaking Flies exist. We see them in the SS trailer.

[stark estuary]

There is no "canon" ending.

[zealous crown]

yup mhm totally the ending where she is sealed could totally be the ending before silksong with the character being alive

[marsh ibex]

wow

I genuinely forgot new people exist

[zealous crown]

zamn

[small goblet]

we still don't know if ss is prequel or sequel

[hybrid stone]

oh yeah i forgot

[marsh ibex]

is it time for the second coming of walls in ss discussion

[zealous crown]

hello

[hybrid stone]

i mean we do

[stark estuary]

[warm bone]

"new" "people" are "fake"

[zealous crown]

man its in the steam page description

[stiff burrow]

Someone could have broken the seal and got her out somehow though

[zealous crown]

ain't she dead? and the corruption got her

[stark estuary]

Hornet survives in all of the endings. SS can take place after any ending.

[hybrid stone]

sequel

[zealous crown]

exactly

[coral glacier]

Im new here

[marsh ibex]

sequel as in the next game in the hk series of game

[zealous crown]

same

[stiff burrow]

Nothing like that is implied. She just lies there. Breaking the egg again and getting her out isn't completely impossible

[marsh ibex]

It’s not confirmed to be a chronological sequel

[stark estuary]

Yep, but that's still highly likely.

[zealous crown]

lets figure it out when the game comes out

[marsh ibex]

This year

[stark estuary]

Nay

[zealous crown]

After January on February on a specific day

[stiff burrow]

Are people already giving up on this year 2 days in?

[zealous crown]

Silksong? On this time of year, this time of day especially localized in your steam library

[zealous crown]

maybe

[stable quiver]

yes

[stiff burrow]

y tho

[zealous crown]

yes actually yeah since best thing we got was a "fake" leak of silksong coming out on february 2022 1

So safe to assume we don't get our hopes up for some "date"

[stiff burrow]

That doesn't mean we need to give up on an entire year

[stable quiver]

i thought the leak was semi real

[stiff burrow]

If they do it like with HK, we'll only know the release date 2 weeks before release

[zealous crown]

true its best to give up hope than to get some up lose your marbles on the course of 365 days

[stiff burrow]

Well it was a real placeholder most likely for whatever that is worth

[solemn viper]

i think its coming out this year

[stable quiver]

I really hope its Feb

[stiff burrow]

It would be nice to at least get an update on Feb even if it's not release

[zealous crown]

it said february 1st either its a placeholder which is very likely but if its the real date begin to lose your marbles now

The mods might need to mute the server entirely because of the hype when silksong comes out

[stiff burrow]

5 minute slowmode

[zealous crown]

make that 10

there is 50k people here so makes sense

[coral glacier]

SILKSONG WILL RELEASE TONIGHT

[coarse leaf]

no

[coral glacier]

Believe

[solemn viper]

sure.

[zealous crown]

clown

[coral glacier]

Now imagine if SS does release tonight

Thatd be funny

[solemn viper]

i guess it would yeah

[coarse leaf]

why would releasw tonight

[coarse leaf]

[coral glacier]

Because i said so

[zealous crown]

yes I know I know we all are

[coral glacier]

We arent clowns, we're the entire circus

[winged ember]

So how are we feeling about Feb?

[coarse leaf]

SS will have a colosseum of clowns area, mark my words

[solemn viper]

i think/hope they announce it around february and it comes like mid-2022

[heavy magnet]

SS will always and forever be coming out later

[mental jacinth]

soon

[runic valley]

TBA

Imagine if EA bought the rights to HK and SS

[sacred stratus]

EA sports

[tame widget]

" pay 9.99$ to unlock Grimm Troupe DLC"

[coral glacier]

True

[keen forum]

"to reach this area you need to pay 5.99$"
"to get a map of this area, you need a separate product for 3.99$"
"to beat this boss, it will be 6.99$"

[sacred stratus]

pay 9.99$ to unlock kingdom's edge

[coral glacier]

"Pay 69.99$ to unlock mecha zote"

[runic valley]

The pure nail bundle 4.99$

[sacred stratus]

who's the worst publisher in your opinion?

[coarse leaf]

to fight final boss pay $20

[tame widget]

Pay 0.99$ if you want to wear a charm, pay again to unequipe it

[runic valley]

Nintendo coughcou-

[narrow lava]

EA, not even close

[sacred stratus]

is nintendo considered a publisher?

[runic valley]

Wait u right-

[keen forum]

"pay 9.99$ to unlock monarch wings and crystal heart"
"mothwing cloak and mantis claw are in a separate 'dlc' for 4.99$"

[sacred stratus]

btw I talked to some leaker the other day and he revealed to me the name of another SS character we haven't heard about before

only the name tho

[keen forum]

source ?

[hybrid stone]

pay 17.99$ to leave kings pass

[runic valley]

Well the names don’t really say much about the character theirselves

[sacred stratus]

well just in case the name was Deez

[runic valley]

Oh goddamnit

[tame widget]

Pay 4.99$ to read the lore tablet

[sacred stratus]

deez nuts

[keen forum]

yes, but I still want to make sure... nevermind

[cunning geode]

did any of you really fall for that

come on

[runic valley]

[sacred stratus]

com'on man I'm bored

[cunning geode]

hey its not your fault they fell for it

[sacred stratus]

plus do you prefer the old baron design or the Doom eternal design?

[cunning geode]

the former

by a long shot

[sacred stratus]

I agree

like... I think the change was cool but I still prefer the old design

[hybrid stone]

theres so little information on silksong that we barely even talk about it here

[runic valley]

I don’t think there even was any this whole year

[sacred stratus]

correct

this is the first time we didn't get news for an entire year

[hybrid stone]

its been 2022 for only 2 days smh

[heavy magnet]

ha haaa

was the magazine really in 2020?!

[runic valley]

I have been clowned

[hybrid stone]

i predict a release date being released in 3 weeks

[foggy sandal]

this feb it will have been 3 years since silksongs release trailer with no news if we get none

[cunning geode]

i predict that i'll eat a burger in the next 3 weeks

and it'll have cheese

[heavy magnet]

and now, I die

[cunning geode]

ketchup, pickles

mmmm

[hybrid stone]

@foggy sandal i love ur pfp

[foggy sandal]

ty

[runic valley]

I really hope the february leaks are true

[sacred stratus]

I predict I'll become uncanny in 3 weeks

[foggy sandal]

same

[hybrid stone]

it will be :)

[sacred stratus]

don't worry I'll leave the faction near the end of Febuary and start shitting on it

[heavy magnet]

what are these february leaks you speak of

[cunning geode]

Nvidia stuff

[runic valley]

February 1st release date

[cunning geode]

its nothing to take seriously

genuinely, dont take it seriously

[heavy magnet]

i'll take even fake news at this point

[hybrid stone]

i dont think 1st, i think maybe towards may

[cunning geode]

you dont wanna be waiting and waiting for a release when it wont come

just chill

[heavy magnet]

that's what we're all doing anyway

[hybrid stone]

were jjst waiting for a date

[runic valley]

The leak gives hope ig

[cunning geode]

its false hope.

[true vine]

is there any

[cunning geode]

what gives me hope is everything TC has said about the game up to now

you shouldn't gain hope from a placeholder date on a leak that gets

[heavy magnet]

i'll take it if there isn't any real hope

[cunning geode]

[runic valley]

It’s still fun to have a date to look forward to, I won’t get my hopes up but still

[hybrid stone]

oh wow

[uncut citrus]

nice soon you'll say nothing

[true vine]

yes

[uncut citrus]

to end it all, you'll say "i"

then the next day, out of nowere you'll have finished

since you'ld have to say

[hybrid stone]

its down to "is there any "

[fringe pulsar]

Forget Ray

[hybrid stone]

[true vine]

I literally said "fake"

[hybrid stone]

sarcastically

[glacial haven]

Yeah but @hybrid stone was getting hope that it wasnt

[sacred stratus]

it's a well known fact that the average IQ of a #sk-discussion user is 5

[coral glacier]

OMG REAL

[glacial haven]

Ouch

[sacred stratus]

sussy baka

[coral glacier]

[true vine]

we have all delved into insanity

[glacial haven]

Yep

[true vine]

soon it'll be three years since silksong was announced and we'll have to celebrate the anniversary with a wet cake graig probably bakes us out of pity

[sacred stratus]

I'm literally browsing YouTube doing nothing bcs it's too late to do HW but too early to go to bed and I have had enough of dead cells today

[brazen needle]

It's 4 pm where i live. Doesn't quite apply

[zealous crown]

The radiance got us with Silksong

[coral glacier]

maybe the real silksong was the friends we made on our Journey

[dusty nimbus]

I want to see Graig's garden

[dusty nimbus]

Nope

[zealous crown]

Maybe the real disease in HK was Silksong

[coral glacier]

WHO IS GRAIG

[dusty nimbus]

[true vine]

well I made no friends so I guess no silksong for me

[coral glacier]

exactly, get rekt

[dusty nimbus]

[dusty nimbus]

What about someone you've talked to before?

[true vine]

that's called an acquaintance

[dusty nimbus]

You made a demo friend

[runic valley]

DEMO FRIEND

[true vine]

yes!

[uncut citrus]

I am a demoman

(Saying this for the demo joke but my pfp is actually Sherma as demoman so I’m actually kinda demoman but also god Sherma)

[runic valley]

huh

[patent shoal]

is this intended or a bug im confused

the other vessel

[ocean mulch]

Why are you in this channel

[runic valley]

Not a bug

[patent shoal]

fuck sorry

[ocean mulch]

Actually it's a 🐛

[west plover]

Just chase the other vessel

[patent shoal]

i read silksong as screenshot sorry :(

[runic valley]

Dw!

[ocean mulch]

Lmao it's fine

[heavy magnet]

intended bug

[ocean mulch]

Happens all the time

[heavy magnet]

(not bug nor beast nor god)

[narrow lava]

its a bug sir

[runic valley]

An insect, if you will

[open abyss]

Who thinks that Youtube release date(just a year) of Silksong--- 2022 is valid?

[serene chasm]

Could SS come out this year? sure. Does youtube/google actually know this? no.

[tight linden]

Good mosscord morning hollow Knight maincord basedcord

[opaque sigil]

It's a possibility, no more

[spring perch]

Any news on ss?

[opaque sigil]

?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.

[uncut citrus]

I’ll say probable, but YT doesn’t base this on anything

[jade canopy]

It does tho

The date is based on the geoforce leak which is kinda nothing

[mint valve]

In standard indie game release time a good time to release one is 3 years. so yea

[open abyss]

Well. Youtube just updated all trailers saying it is 2022.

[opaque sigil]

Youtube doesn't know

[runic valley]

It did that because of google which also says that the release date is 2022

[stoic path]

You trust Youtube?

[ocean mulch]

Which did it because of news articles doing clickbait

[opaque sigil]

Google says that because the algorithm is bad

[marble marsh]

I think youtube is basing it off of the geforce leak, which is most likely a placeholder, google used to say Feb 1, 2022 but they changed it to just 2022

[ocean mulch]

You say they as if a person actually looked for the date and typed it in

[open abyss]

Actually I have no idea. Because Team Cherry have been silent for year.

[ocean mulch]

I feel like 2021 didn't even exist

[stoic path]

Ngl, I'll be surprised if SS releases on February. I have hopes it will release this year, but not in p1 of 2022

[open abyss]

Well expect no, but hope for the best

[ocean mulch]

I just got teleported here

[mint valve]

I think it's not Feb 1. I think it's a place holder for there goal to release it in Feb.

[stoic path]

Same

[uncut citrus]

Same

[dim ferry]

Tbh I know Silksong needs it's polish but I doubt it'll be in development for FIVE YEARS. And if it was gonna be, they wouldn't be silent for a whole year if it was still gonna end up being another year of silence. I mean maybe they might still do the end of this year but it doesn't make sense

[mint valve]

yea

[opaque sigil]

Five years is not that long

[ocean mulch]

Five? Where'd you get that number from

[open abyss]

Well 2021 was kinda bland year.

[uncut citrus]

The duality of men

[dim ferry]

Ope lol not 5 years 3 years

[mint valve]

yea It's been 3 years sense the reveal trailer

[stoic path]

Yeah it's gotta release this year. I bet 90% it's this year

[dim ferry]

But they still also wouldn't be silent a whole year if they were gonna end up releasing it christmas 2022, unless there's a marketing leading up to it
I'm also just coping tbh

[runic valley]

We all are

[opaque sigil]

They could be silent for a year and then end up releasing in late 2022-2023

[ocean mulch]

Are there deadlines? Yes
Is the release planned months in advance? No

[spring perch]

I think being silent and giving no news to the fans is kind of disrespectful

[coarse leaf]

This is the first time they have been silent on Christmas, expect news soon, period

[ocean mulch]

Oh yeah I expect something after the hiatus

[opaque sigil]

It isn't

[stoic path]

Not really, but there is a kind of toxicity in the community

[ocean mulch]

Silksong isn't an exception in the game industry

[chilly nexus]

the alternative is that they want to break any sort of 'precedent' they might have set in the past, so we don't expect these things going forward in the case the game is still a ways out

[mint valve]

hey maybe there working really hard to release it in Feb. would you rather have news but SS releases in spring

[opaque sigil]

Or they just don't care much about the precedent at all and are focused on more important things

[open abyss]

Well nobody expected Hollow Knight to be that great and popular. Especialy authors

[spring perch]

They can at least say that they're alive

[ocean mulch]

Or maybe they're having so much fun making the game they don't have time for news

[marble marsh]

it would be easier from them to just say not to expect things

[mint valve]

true

[opaque sigil]

They're alive

[spring perch]

Not confirmed

[ocean mulch]

They are alive

[dim ferry]

I wouldn't say "disrespectful" but little update blogs even once a year don't take much effort but tbh the fan base doesn't deserve news

[opaque sigil]

You don't need proof of life

[ocean mulch]

Actually yes

[coarse leaf]

2 weeks effort to prepare a blogpost

[opaque sigil]

One

[coarse leaf]

tell that to NASA

[mint valve]

I think there still on break

[coarse leaf]

They probably are yes

[ocean mulch]

Yeah

[marble marsh]

probably

[mint valve]

holiday break

[ocean mulch]

But knowing them they'll be off break like tomorrow or sth lmao

[full rune]

the people that need assurance of TC being alive have some major anxiety issues lmao'

[dim ferry]

Do they have holidays in Australia

[coarse leaf]

yes, anxiety and depression, and

[open abyss]

By the way interesting how is James Webb Telescope is doing

[opaque sigil]

Object permanence

[full rune]

yes, they have such holidays as sɐɯʇsᴉɹɥɔ and sɹɐǝʎ ʍǝu

[torpid fractal]

i just woke up at 3:06 pm

[stoic path]

I do wonder why there was a full year of silence? My guess is they just wanted to work on the game, add everything they want to, then just release it. If that's the case, I don't see why they should do a blog post or an update.

[torpid fractal]

what did i do to deserve this

[ocean mulch]

Tbh the only reason I want a blog post is because analyzing the screenshots is sooooo funnnnnn

[coarse leaf]

yes

[dim ferry]

Maybe we can send a mirror millions of light-years away and have the telescope use it to look at the earth in the future and see when ss comes out

[full rune]

yes but i am old enough to not take it out on TC 😤

[tulip drift]

I think that thinking you're entitled to updates is kind of disrespectful. (I hope that I don't sound rude.)

[dim ferry]

Wait no thst only works for looking back in time theoretically

[modest night]

Ok old man 😤

[mint valve]

Immediately TC when it turns 12:01 there back to work
