How long was hollow knight in development for? I'd expect silksong to be slightly faster since they can probably reuse a bunch of things.

Lmao if you didn't get early access from your uncle who works at Team Cherry.

I mean I'm not complaining about games aping hollow knight, that's a very good thing. But it's pretty funny how blatant it is.

Wasn't there some story about some famous artist who worked on a painting for literal decades until he died, and he said it still wasn't finished?

The great thing about being a backer of Heart Forth Alicia is that I will never be bothered by a late-running development ever again.

I mean, at least that game has semi-regular progress updates.

$12000 more and we would have gotten a Zote game as well, too bad

Thank god tbh. Zote is a mediocre joke that already goes on a bit too long.

Once I hit 70 I'm gonna spend most of my time writing angry letters to game devs about how they better release their game before I die.

I'm just about finished with Moonscars, which definitely has strong hollow knight vibes, and I think I'd recommend it. It's pretty short, maybe 10-12 hours according to the internet, and while it's not as good as hollow knight, it's still pretty solid.

It does have the dark souls bullshit of easily missable quests that break if you do the necessary steps out of order, but there are probably guides for that if you really care.

Ender Lilies would have been a much better game if it didn't decide that every boss past mid-game had to be Radiant difficult. Just let me get on with the game, I don't care about Lord Shizzlewizzle the Bleak or why I need to perfectly dodge his attacks for 3 minutes.
Sounds like a skill issue to me.

At this point the main reason I want silksong to come out is so people stop making poo poo posts about it on the internet.

People acting like 4 years of dev time is even remotely long, let alone concerningly so. It's gonna be 6 years between breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom, and nintendo probably has more than 3 employees.

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!"

You're describing steam early access.

Let's just point at the elephant in the room and laugh. Team Cherry are so massively busy on this game that they can't spend 1 minute every few months sending out a short tweet to update the fans while one of them is taking a poo poo.

If I was in charge of my own company I sure as poo poo wouldn't spend a singular second on PR either.

honest question- has any other game led to a thread to reach 83 pages on nothing more than a trailer? i'm kind of in awe at the amount of hype around this game with almost zero hype machine being run by the developer

Never underestimate the goon's dedication to reposting the same three unfunny jokes for close to a hundred pages.

I always assumed they meant the controls are clunky as poo poo and 95% of the challenge is wrestling with them.
