quote:

I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Matthew "Leth" Griffin, head of marketing and PR for Team Cherry and Mongoose Rodeo. We talked about his experiences working on Hollow Knight and its sequel, as well as the upcoming indie metroidvania Crowsworn. Along the way, we learned a bunch of interesting details about all three games, including a clarification on the Silksong delay (and more!)

Hopefully some interesting new nuggets.

Pretty much yeah, for SS stuff anyway. They talked a lot about Crowsworn (Crowswarm?) too but I haven't been following that so I have no idea whether or not any of it was new info.

Any one of us has put at least as much time and effort into the marketing and PR of Silksong as the man who has made that his career.

He did mention something along the lines of "one of my big marketing strategies is streamers" so I have to hand it to the guy, he's got it figured out that gamers will happily do the work for you for free. Hell they'll even pay you for it - not that they would, but if they wanted to Team Cherry could open up a public beta test for this game and charge a :10bux: entrance fee and they would instantly fill as many slots as they made available with happy gamers, and make bank. They'd get all the usual internet grumblings about it for sure but all they'd have to do is literally ignore them, release the game in a working, complete state with no paid DLCs or microtransactions and everyone would instantly forget about the beta. All I'd see in my feed would be "Team Cherry have raised the bar again! AAA devs BTFO!"

Just, y'know, putting that out there... :v:

"I started a new Silksong run just the other day" was an encouraging phrase to hear since the word "run," to me at least, implies there's a mostly-complete build to go through rather than it still being in the phase of playtesting various disparate sections. Like I know this tells me nothing really, but it made me feel good about the progress of the game which I really do appreciate. Hopefully this interview marks the start of a ramp up of new info and marketing coming out as we near the time of release.

Or maybe we'll hear nothing more for a while and I'll actually have time to finish TotK, BG3, Cyberpunk, Starfield etc.. We shall see. Bapanada.

It's the second option isn't it.

It's a little disappointing that Crowsworn were so derivative in their art style, but I can respect the hustle that they got a legion of gamers to crowd fund their game for an absurd amount of money. It's just a Pavlovian reflex: see dark fantasy small animals, pour out money.
