I'm not mad at TC or anything, game dev is hard and we've all seen what happens when it's rushed, but I am curious about the cause of the delay. It seemed like they had a pretty solid product in that demo footage from way back, and it's not like they're working in a new engine or something.

The only thing I can guess is that the game is way bigger than Hollow Knight, but I hope that's not the case. I love HK but I felt like it was just a little bit longer than it should have been.

The cause is they have no concept of when this game is done or how much is left.

Whenever they work on roadmaps they work for hours and then when they look down at the word doc it just says "game is big let's make it good"

It's a horrifying curse

*nods* lazy devs.

Not lazy but I do at this point think their refusal to give any info on progress is caused by continued scope creep and shaky timelines. You can be the hardest working dev in the world and still put off releasing your game for a decade because it's not *quite* right. Just my guess though.

I'm not even going to bothering tempering my expectations, this is the one. I'll be shattered if it doesn't get announced, of course, but I don't have to worry about that because it DEFINITELY will.

Actually there's only 1 video game in the world, Hollow Knight. Silksong isn't out yet. Easy mistake to make.

Speaking of, I remember the xbox arcade remake of the 2D original being really good. Is there a good way to play that version these days?

Yeah I didn't think they ever ported it or did a similar remake. Maybe I just go back and try the SNES one instead.

Man...the platforming in this game really gets challenging. There are a couple sections I couldn't even figure out what I was supposed to do. There's one bit that if this were Hollow Knight has the big centipede things in a room. They are going in big circles. Every so often they break through some crystal that then grows back. There are also platforms you can stand on for a second or two that then disintegrate. You have to jump, double jump and air dash around in there. I can get a few in and then have no idea how to progress because once you start, you can't stop and if the centipede hasn't broken the crystals, you are imprisoned. Pretty sure this is optional. But man, it's hard. There are other sections that aren't as challenging that appear to be required for progress. Not sure if there is a way around them but I made it through after figuring it out.

Game is good. Real good. And harder than non pantheon Hollow Knight.

Those centipedes are real fuckers but I loved it

Do they just not know? Are they kind of social mecha illiterate and assume that their PR guy is getting across their issues in a concise and straightforward manner? Duke Nuke Forever was never on my radar so I couldn’t say for that but did the 3D realms people say anything for their durance?

I think they just don't give a poo poo. Is there a single hollow knight fan that won't play silksong whenever it comes out? Is there a single person who didn't play HK who is excited for silksong at this point?
