Deathswap, but in Hollow Knight

[rancid glade]

Popular Minecraft gamemode back in the day, might be worth seeing if it'd work with Hollow Knight https://youtu.be/r5rEaHPt6mw?feature=shared

Premise is that you and your opponent will switch places with each other at random intervals during the game. Before the switch, you're trying to set up traps for your opponent to fall into once the switch occurs. So like in Hollow Knight, one player might towards a spike pit right before they predict the switch will occur.

In Hollow Knight, you have to play around with the rules, but I'm guessing it'd be near impossible to get consistent kills if the players are allowed to regain hearts, so heart regen wouldn't be allowed.

Would probably require HKMP, and if so would definitely require the version of HKMP that synchronizes entities

If any programmers see this, lemme know if you think it'd be viable to create!

I think the entity syncing version of hkmp is dead unfortunately

Could definitely be interesting but I think you're right that mechanisms for consistent kills would need some help

If you could stransfer Debug saves...

I mean, if by "dead" you mean "went into Beta last year" then yes.

The last beta update was December 3rd, 2024
-# Note: The Beta is currently only available through Extreme's Patreon, since he puts beta updates of stuff he's working on there, and then makes the final versions public.

That being said, Entity Sync works based on being in the same Room, so that still wouldn't actually do much.

That's a big turnaround from the last update I saw from far before that where it was determined not to be technically feasible and was accordingly abandoned

Is it the compiled dll and source or just dll available?

I would love to take a look at it
