Not sure why people expected news in this Direct, but there was no Silksong info at all in it.

Just wishful thinking, that’s all.

In other news, a friend gifted my the Hollow Knight official art book. The cover is absolutely gorgeous but the binding wasn’t well done and the first few pages already fell out. Bummer.

part of me has always kind of assumed that any delay is 100% because of nintendo and 100% because they would want a switch version to be ready and launch at the same time as the pc copy

worst case scenario is them bullying team cherry into doing a switch release first

I wonder what will come out first: Psychonauts 2, Silksong or that expansion to Cuphead?

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

this is pretty much the perfect example of a game i have absolutely no release anxiety about and am content to wait however long it takes for a final release as masterfully and artfully crafted as Hollow Knight

with a single installment Hollow Knight has put itself on the same level of expectations as games like Zelda and Mario to me

I played Ori 2, since it was on sale during Summer.
The second I was done with the game, i reinstalled Hollow Knight to do my third playthrough, and it was so amazing.
All I'm saying is that Hollow Knight: Silksong is going to be good.

I'm almost the same; I dont care if the release date is "definitely within six months from now" or if it's "eh, we're looking at it being summer of 2023" but I just wish team cherry would tell us.

Just please give us a window, tell us how much longer you think your game is going to take. I can handle it if it's still going to be a while (in fact I'd be happy because it would mean even more game when it finally arrives) but i hate having no info and no way to set my expectations.

The fact it's been so long without a peep is starting to make me suspect there's been some sort of behind the scenes development hell, aside from the "normal" 2020 covid situation.

Im fine with whatever. Tons of things to do both in games and outside of them. I can wait. As long as the devs occasionally show that they still have a pulse Im good. :cheerdoge:

Yeah, they post on IG occasionally and the game looks gorgeous. Thankfully game development is something that is pretty easy to do from home, so I doubt there'll be any covid related delay, at least.

I'm just impatient, it's not as if I've not got a huge backlog of games I'm dipping into while I wait for the next few months to pass. I just know I'm going to love this game. I tried to get into will o the wisp twice but it didn't hold my interest.

This is why most of the time games aren't announced until the marketing hype cycle is ready to begin

early announcements are usually just placeholders for "we haven't forgotten this!!!" and are never satisfying and lead to a lot of frustration

in this case it was necessary because it was team cherry announcing their plans to fulfill their kickstarter promise of playable hornet but if they could have gotten away with staying silent they probably should have

Cactus
Jun 24, 2006

Nothing should ever be announced until 2 months before release max imo. Preferably 2 or 3 weeks.

Announce, spend the next few weeks steadily releasing info in a manner designed to build excitement to a fever pitch, while the news of the announcement is still fresh in peoples minds. Then bam, release the thing.

Uh..... still radio silence from Team Cherry?
I guess they’re just self-funding development so there’s no reason to have a thousand backer characters and quotes or to describe progress. Guessing 2021, then.

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.

Irrelevant anecdote:

There was a backer-character in Undertale that's impossible to find in normal play, but those that did find him loving hated him because he's an OC who regularly appears in fetish art.

On the SFW spectrum there were hundreds of Backer NPCs standing around in Pillars of Eternity. Mercifully they never coincide with any quests and you can kill them for their sweet gear.

2020 was rough for everybody :smith:

They're a very small team and it seems like Silksong is going to be even more vastly ambitious than Hollow Knight.

I do think its better for game studios to wait to show off much until they really know the game is mostly done, you risk talking about things that you later find don't work out and cut and then people get a bit upset.

It sucks but its gonna be so good when it gets here!

I imagine they announced early because playable Hornet was originally a kickstarter stretch goal, and they wanted to get that out there once they'd made the decision to give her her own game instead.
