In honor of Silksong, i'm about to buy my 4th copy of Hollow Knight... for my Nintendo Switch!

one thing I'm really hoping for in silksong would be if Hornet gets a dream boss battle vs our own Hollow Knight., but the fully powered up one. It would be really neat to be on the other side of that boss battle

Yeah, they’re small as a thimble, hyper agile, full of explosive dark magic, a master nailsmith, and have all sorts of weird attacks thanks to charms. A real fight with that little Nugget would be amazing.

"!!!five new posts in the Silksong thread!!!"

EDIT: Holy poo poo how spoiled have we become that an indie team of like 5 people spending 3 years on a game is "vaporware"... The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV would like a word...

This thread would have literally hundreds if not 1,000s of posts if anything actually happened, if you see like 15 new posts it just means someone either started playing Hollow Knight and wants help or someone makes an epic post about how the 4 guys who made the best metroidvania ever are actually lazy because they haven't released a better sequel in less time during a pandemic.

All culture is derivative and memetic repetition is the foundation of cultural norms, which in turn format societal interactions and thus define the sociological constructs that make up our lives.

Mechanical influence aside, the art of the environments and backgrounds looks literally lifted straight from Hollow Knight, like the lamps and the spikes and buildings etc.

I don't have a problem with something that seems so heavily influenced, because if it's good, it's just another story set in this kind of universe.

It's unreasonable to expect people to just politely sit on their hands and only play one spooky-cute action platformer every 5 years when Team Cherry makes one.

What do you mean “produced”? Team Cherry made Hollowknight, is the artist from Team Cherry doing Crowsworn?

Yeah I mean I really want the game, Hollow Knight is very easily in my personal lifetime Top 10, but I’m honestly very happy to wait and let the geniuses tinker. Team Cherry being a small handful of dedicated wunderkin makes for a much more engaging story.

Ok, I sort of assumed that they’d at least done enough work before launching the Kickstarter that they knew how much more money they would need to finish. I always assumed Silksong would take exactly as long.

Why would you need a Macfarlane level action figure for a character that is essentially already just a Funko Pop? There’s nothing to over articulate.

The thing about being a game dev or a composer or an animator is that none of those things is a social media manager and shouldn’t have to be, so I respect their decision to just hunker down, and their decision to not hire someone to do it for them while retweeting cosplay and tattoos and fan films for 3 years to keep the hype train rolling. Video games don’t always have craft, hollow knight was dripping with craft, so I treat Team Cherry with kid gloves and will happily wait in silence until I die, never knowing if this game was real

What if Crowsworn is actually better? Wouldn't that be a thing.

I'm honestly very hopeful. Something being derivative doesn't preclude it from being good.

No, they said “we’re working on it, it’s done when it’s done”

There are 3 of them, and one of them has to draw the entire video game… with his hands. It’s ok that it’s taking a while

Weird how it's the same poster pretending they said that.

Here is their patreon page: https://www.teamcherry.com.au/blog/hollow-knight-silksong-revealed

And in February they posted this

“Team Cherry” posted:


Almost from the very start, Hornet’s adventure was intended to take place in a new land, but as we dove in, it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned. We do know that makes the wait a little longer, but we think the final, fresh world you’ll get to explore is worth it.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available, at launch, on Windows, Mac, Linux & Nintendo Switch. More platforms may happen! Just remember, we’re 3 people, already working rather hard, so we haven’t committed to anything else just yet. We don’t wanna collapse before we get this massive bug kingdom ready for you.

I really don’t know how else to interpret that besides “we’re working on it, it’s done when it’s done”
