#

can someone explain silksong in like three sentences

uncut citrus
#

Hornt Silk Song

#

Did three words but eh

fiery coral
#

Hollow.
Knight.
Sequel.

grand ferry
uncut citrus
#

Literally if silksong had to be explained in three words, I think « SilkĀ Ā» and « SongĀ Ā» would be two of them, there’s a reason it’s named this way

wind ibex
#

i guess i was a bit vague
what i mean is, is it just hollow knight rehash or will it actually bring new stuff to the table? like where does it take place, is it a prequel, sequel, or completely independent of hollow knight, etc

fiery coral
#

New

#

Chronologically we don't know but chances are it's a sequel

pearl scarab
coarse leaf
#

New kingdom, most likely sequel that doesn't have big ties to the main lore of the first game, and there are a lot of new things to look forward to, hornet has multiple extremely agile movesets there are tools that you can use and quests and shit

#

Theres a lot of new

#

Oh i didnt ping him

I got a 100$ as a late birthday gift let’s gooooo

having a more agile avatar would be nice

sacred stratus

Anyways as I said in the post I really hope TC are not working too hard. I know making a sequel to HK is difficult but sometimes if you try too hard and overwork you’ll have the opposite effect

god feels weird to see ton of big name youtubers suddenly playing it at around 2021 🄓

cerulean sable
#

Cr1tikal went from "Eh its just another platformer" back in 2019 to getting Dream No More on 2021

sacred stratus
#

Yeah the thing is that unless you’re really into the artstyle HK will shine much later for you

tawdry palm
# sacred stratus Who is Joseph Anderson?

A youtube reviewer who made a Hollow Knight critique which was basically "The game is perfect as a product, but it begins to show minor imperfections on my fourth playthrough."

#

And the vid was over an hour long

sacred stratus
#

Sounds hypocritical to me

cerulean sable
#

guy was literally saying "game was a bit easy at times and heres suggestion on how to fix that" on hard sections that the youtube comments were literally saying was too hard for them

#

hes done his 11th replay i think on twitch just 2-3 months ago

tawdry palm
#

Basically hes an extremely skilled hardcore player who is un aware of that fact lol

sacred stratus
#

I think the difficulty of HK is well balanced

tawdry palm
#

Still watched his video a few times despite how it drives me feral, hes a very charismatic presenter

sacred stratus
#

Only thing is upping the boss quality since most filler bosses have like 1 attack and that’s most of the roster

cerulean sable
#

god just thinking of all the big youtubers and streamers whos gonna probably play it on launch

#

i shiver

tawdry palm
#

Hello everybody, this is markiplier

sacred stratus
#

I’ll try to stay off YT when SS launches

cerulean sable
#

ive already see Atrioc go apeshit over the SS xbox reveal

tawdry palm
#

Markiplier finally finishes rainworld th same month he plays hollow knight

sacred stratus
#

Tho it was fun seeing a lot of big names play Elden ring and loving it. Even people who never played or hated souls before

cerulean sable
#

tho usually a lot of youtubers fake enthusiasm, you can tell hes serious considering the first thing he searched for was the "12 months" confirmation from Xbox being associated with SS

sacred stratus
#

I don’t believe Xbox

tawdry palm
#

"Theyre actually doing it" Lmfao i love this guy

sacred stratus
#

Last time something similar happened was Nintendo in 2019 saying the game will come out soon

#

Yeah we are in 2022

tawdry palm
#

Right? Right? Please...

sacred stratus
#

Oh sweet summer child

#

Leth is no more. Graig kidnapped him

coarse leaf
#

I am half serious

sacred stratus
#

Nah Xbox are stupid

tawdry palm
#

Huh theyre working remote now apparently, checking leth's posts

#

Interesting choice

brittle garnet
#

when was that

tawdry palm
#

Its in the first page of results from leth in the search

brittle garnet
#

also Leth always works remote, he's in a different country

tawdry palm
#

Yep

#

Pandemic is kinda over in Australia

tawdry palm
#

Did i got the context wrong here?

sacred stratus
#

Plus TC said COVID didn’t really affect them

tawdry palm
#

Ah

brittle garnet
#

yeah the message he was replying to was talking about how the pandemic could have affected them

tawdry palm
#

So i did

#

Makes sense, just scanned the chat

tawdry palm
sacred stratus
#

I just hope they don’t stress and overwork too much

#

Mental and physical health > everything else

tawdry palm
#

I doubt theyll do things any different than they have before

#

Ari ran a animation studio, hes adapted to his work flow

sacred stratus
#

Yeah but running a small animation studio is different to creating a sequel to an indie game that got god status

hexed crow
tawdry palm
#

I wouldnt worry about it is all. HK was born in the crunch, molded by it, and we can see that their time restraints have been far looser with SS

sacred stratus
#

Nobody likes to crunch (except if they are workaholic which is bad)

tawdry palm
#

The great thing is, i ran the math and even if they paid like 10 testers a 40k salary for 2 years i think, plus the various loans getting paid back and living money, they would still both be millionaires just from the sales, regardless of other deals

#

So theyre really doing SS out of love for art

brittle garnet
tawdry palm
#

Steph sterling has a great series about crunch in game development

sacred stratus
#

Working too much

brittle garnet
#

Since we know TC did have "crunch months" that they organised themselves

tawdry palm
#

Pretty much exactly those lol

#

Atleast theyre fully consentual when done by the two of them at their own desire

cerulean sable
#

as long as theyre all good with it and taking breaks and you know, not forcing other members to go with the crunch

#

theyre set for life anyway at this point

#

those plushies print money

tawdry palm
#

He wouldnt tell me so i dont know

cerulean sable
#

all i know is

#

theres this random guy

#

who kept arguing that HK costed like 14m dollars to make

#

and just from translations alone

#

or was he pushing 22m?

tawdry palm
#

lmfao

#

They prolly got the translations done for like 100k

cerulean sable
#

Indies are about money, but it's independent studio. Some indie games spend millions of money

You pay even 150 for localisation for one language. It's already 1.5m

Even if you increase it to 15$.

It's 45 millions, and developing base HK easily would eat 15millions. 5 millions DLCs, and they are left with 25 millions for Silksong, which also will eat 15-20millions.

fiery coral
#

Wha

tardy orbit
#

lol

cerulean sable
#

there was this guy way back then

#

arguing why HK would be a lost at 15$

carmine sapphire
#

Bruh

cerulean sable
#

i dont remember the gist of it but that they were running out of money

tawdry palm
#

I... did he think there was a printing fee for digital sales?

cerulean sable
#

he was talking about investors and shit

fiery coral
#

Well they were running out of money yes but these calculations are quite something

cerulean sable
#

and how translations are extremely stupid expensive

#

no he means theyre running out of money NOW

#

because SS apparently takes 25m$ to make

fiery coral
#

...I see excusemezote

tardy orbit
#

Very true and real

tawdry palm
#

I wonder now, how close i was

#

like what, 25% of sale price going to TC, even at the low ball 3 million, Team Cherry as a company is rolling in it

cerulean sable
#

this aged so well considering we premiered on Xbox

#

the age of open world looter shooter moba based wacky post apocalyptic games is over

#

indies will pave the street with fire

tardy orbit
#

Successful Indies have been rolling in cash since like 2010

tawdry palm
#

so 3 million sales at quarter 2 2019

#

And the game has only really grown in popularity since

#

Im definatly willing to belive 4.5-5 million coppies sold

cerulean sable
#

weve literally broken our record steam plays just last few months ago lmao

#

before Xbox even

tawdry palm
#

Assuming they make a measly 2.5$ per sales, on 4.5 million coppies, thats 11,250,000 dollars. And thats the bare minimum if everyone is fucking ari and pellen over

#

These numbers kinda loose their meaning beyond "massive", but its fun to theory craft

sacred stratus
#

Graig told me they earn more

#

I did some calculations of bare minimum and he told me that in reality they earn a lot more

cerulean sable
#

yeah but apparently theyll need more than 11250000 to cover their cost cuz.... investors, advertising and... translations apparently

#

plus merch also keeps that money pumping

sacred stratus
#

Bruh most AAA games take less than that

tawdry palm
#

Im going to be searching eternally for why joker didnt belive me, i might actually be caught up on this mentally

cerulean sable
#

and told us we were stupid

tawdry palm
#

Lord id love to read that convo

cerulean sable
#

for not believing us

sacred stratus
#

If I remember correctly HK took about half a million at most to develop

#

DLC and all

cerulean sable
#

i cannot fucking fathom this so much

tawdry palm
#

There are just people that really want TC to be struggling for whatever reason, maybe they just really want an under dog narrative for whatever reason?

tardy orbit
#

Yes

#

"underrated gem"

sacred stratus
#

HK sold very well

#

Especially for an indie game

#

It’s not a hidden gem

tawdry palm
#

team cherry is richer than croesus

sacred stratus
#

Everybody knows about it

tardy orbit
cerulean sable
#

their literal budget was around 100k-200k before the game got released lmao

#

but somehow it was 15mil

#

an indie game dev would kill for 1 mil

#

which is why you got a lot of people taking the Epic games exclusivity shit

tawdry palm
cerulean sable
#

lmfao

sacred stratus

#

the exhange rate is killer

#

Zimbabwean games industry shermasmirk

cerulean sable
#

now i wanna wonder how much Jack gets paid

sacred stratus
#

The budget for our game is 4 morbillion dollars! Meanwhile living in Zimbabwe aka 40 bucks

cerulean sable
#

honestly as solo dev doing so much work, should at least be 20$ an hour

#

i dont know my rates

fiery coral
#

1 dollar per line of code written

tawdry palm
#

Hopefully he got a million when he left

cerulean sable
#

SLOC is my game

sacred stratus
cerulean sable
#

if you use dot operators you can easily stretch that into a couple of lines

sacred stratus
#

Also a good code usually has less lines

tardy orbit
tawdry palm
#

Im betting that was at the least, his contribution to the success of the game

cerulean sable
#

createObject()
.createSubObject()
.invokeSubObjectMethod()
etc

sacred stratus

Or you can go the assembly route

Spam nop command (literally does nothing)

tawdry palm

Even with comments

cerulean sable

executing multiple operations in a single line might be "ingenious" but its fucking unreadable

sacred stratus
#

Yes

cerulean sable
#

i blame the leethack community for this mindset

sacred stratus
#

That’s why I try to divide my code into clear sections

#

Each with it’s own purpose and documentation

cerulean sable
#

when in doubt i just put really long names because i cant be bothered to use "xpos" or "ypos"

dusty nimbus

howFarTheGunIsAwayFromTheKnightsBody

imagine training 6 months to use react, javascript, nosql and other type of framework bullshit then suddenly i end up using old ass HRIS system languages that has garbage documentation because googling the issue gives you a single answer from 20 year old thread from an old ass website

IDK I’m not a bad programmer but I wish I could focus on one thing and be good at it instead of constantly switching topics and just be meh at everything

My friend explained me but I still don't get it

sacred stratus
#

True bcs I wrote in so many languages that I’m just ok at all of them but don’t really remember syntax

#

So whenever in an interview they tell me to write a code in a certain language I encounter troubles

#

I just don’t remember the specifics for anything

It’s so shit

#

What about C++?

sacred stratus
#

It’s kind of a mess sometimes

fiery coral
#

Program in C

cerulean sable
#

C++ can be a bit difficult but its a really strong language

sacred stratus
cerulean sable
#

lots of engines are in C++

rapid topaz
dusty nimbus
#

Fortran and C++ are in the programming exams

sacred stratus
#

I really like C#

#

Lots of useful tools

cerulean sable
#

Fortran is super old

#

dunno why its part of your curriculum

sacred stratus
#

And it has the simple syntax of Java

cerulean sable
#

but they pay a fuckton of people who knows it because they need to maintain banks with it

#

and right now most of the people whos good at it are either old af or dead

sacred stratus
#

Well yeah IDK you ever felt like you are trash at programming?

#

Like trash more than others?

dusty nimbus
sacred stratus
#

I feel like that all the time (mainly bcs my best friends are coding demons)

i was literally surrounded

by extremely god coders

#

that i am a quarter good that helped me with my mods

sacred stratus
#

Nice

cerulean sable
#

but like, i dont care, i accomplished what i wanted

sacred stratus
#

I want to learn how to mod one day

#

And maybe create my own indie game

#

I said in the past it’s going to be a metroidvania with some horror elements

cerulean sable
#

Graig will just probably tell you to skip the modding and go making the games

sacred stratus
#

Probably lol

#

I promised a friend I’ll help him with a game when I’m done with this semester

#

No coding yet just game design ideas for now

#

He’s still trying to realize how the game is gonna be like

cerulean sable
#

yeah you should go for it

#

honestly i wanted to make a game but time and work makes it really hard now

sacred stratus
#

Yeah I know how it is

cerulean sable
#

when youre coding at work, you dont just feel coding at home

sacred stratus
#

What game would you make if you had the time?

cerulean sable
#

i miss the time i could go mod from 7AM to 10PM šŸ˜”

#

uhhh traditional roguelike on some shitty dieselpunk setting and probably a contract system

if you played or know Mount and Blade, you command entire armies but you play with them, the one i wanna aim for is you just being ANOTHER individual person in an army

sacred stratus
cerulean sable
#

one thing i like about trad roguelikes is that you dont have to put too much effort on art and the genre is already niche anyway (and its filled with people who dont really mind low grahpics)

sacred stratus
#

Rogue likes are pretty common indie genre

cerulean sable
#

TRADITIONAL roguelikes

rapid topaz
#

Ah sorry

cerulean sable
#

its basically a top down turn based genre

#

and its usually in Ascii

#

a big plus for them is while they lack graphical stuff they have a ton of depth and interaction

#

like, so much interactions like this

lost coyote
#

silksong

sacred stratus
cerulean sable
#

nah my dream game would at least have Stoneshard graphics

#

but if all else fails then hand drawn never really bugged a lot of people in the genre

#

hell a lot of them prefer Ascii

#

because you can let your imagination do the rest of the visuals especially when it comes to enemies

#

that might sound shite but thats one of the few things the genre player loves

velvet sentinel
#

hi

digital mural
#

Silksong!

cerulean sable
#

but most of the issue is iirc boils down to:
slow developement times (they promised 1.0 back in 2020, and took them 3 months to add 3 weapons, then save to quit features went from "Oh its part of the design actually" to suddenly "Ok well be honest, we just didnt know how to program it correctly" and spent like 5 months on that

and some systems are tedious as fuck

#

for example the injury system sounds nice on paper but that means youll end up using 10 splints just to mend broken bones every few hits

lost coyote
#

yeah the broken bone system in silksong is a little weird since hornet doesnt even have bones

cerulean sable
#

i prefer it on games like SS13 where theres like 40+ of you guys in a server, and only the skilled doctors are capable of treating injuries, so youll have to rely on them to stab you with a specific drug etc

obligatory apologies to the guys i OD'd with imialky and tricordazine

#

it was a mistake i promise shermasmirk

iron spear
#

But I see the allure of modding as you get good results very quickly

It's a good place to start I guess

If you are able to draw plus code, the world is yours

i remember disproving his claims using FACTS AND LOGIC

i think he brought up some rate of translation per word and said with a game as large as HK it would take X amount of money
so I went into the full HK script transcription and looked at the word count and it wasn't even close ZOTE

#

he was claiming that translating the game could cost tens of thousands of dollars or some shit like that

#

OH I KNOW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT

He was claiming that Team Cherry had to have had a big sponsor who would now control them because their budget from the kickstarter was nowhere near enough to produce the game

we should acknowledge this possiblity

Oh god

true

it's hollow knight of course it'll generate a lot of money

i just dunno how the new hornet acrobatics shit is gonna function

burnt topaz
#

I had a Silksong dream like that where the game came out and it sucjed and I watched a bunch of reviews complaining about how it didn't reach the potential of hk
Also it had updrafts in it like the Xbox trailer but I dreamt this way before that so ShermaSmirk

i'm worried that controlling hornet will not feel as responsive

in the first trailer long ago it looked really heavy

it'd be so fucking awesome if there were some sort of flashback sequence in silksong where you can walk through an uninfected city of tears full of happy bugs

i meant like

Lorewise

cerulean sable
#

"I dont need to play HK to appreciate SS"

#

that shit

because a lot of games with sequel gives the inevitable question
"Do i need to play the other games to appreciate this?"

Witcher and Mass Effect were 2 series i had trouble getting into because it kinda feels like i need to play the 1st games to fully appreciate it but the thing is, i dont like either's old ass gameplay

#

i mean yeah

#

thats a given

low raven
#

yea i get that

#

it would actually be good because silksong is really hyped so more people will see it bringing even more people to play the original after completing it

#

but im worried if they mess up silksong that it will bash the reputation of the original

#

kinda like the mask films

echo sable

you mean the movie with the guy with the green mask that goes batshit insane when he wears it

I dont like the visuals, tho the animations are a 10/10 and the movement seems great... for a platformer... there seems to be 0 impact when you land a hit... same problem with the game "The messenger"

inspired by celeste? interesting

the visuals look flat to me

#

maybe they'll add more depth later on

The sounds of the sword in the messenger are nice but I agree there is no "feeling" of impact

yeah i cant really feel the dopamine hit when i land a hit

#

the platforming looks fun tho

and if theres variety in weapons for combat thatd be cool
