Take as long as you need, Team Cherry. Don't rush it to meet some artificial deadline. People will get over it if the game delivers the goods.

3 people vs ~3,000 people. But sure let's equivocate on this odd comparison of apples and oranges

Silksong also lacks the hallmarks of a AAA game, duh. You don't have millions of high-res textures, mocap, and character models with a billion polygons.3 people vs ~3,000 people. But sure let's equivocate on this odd comparison of apples and oranges
It's a freakin' 2D Metroidvania and those guys have been at it for 7 years. It shouldn't take this long no matter how you slice it.

I dunno, though, we're not the ones making it so how could we possibly know that. You're just making assumptions about things you don't actually know about
. Only the 3 people actually making the game would know anything about what you're supposing.I get it that you want the game to be done. Many do. It'll be done when they're ready. That's just all there is to it, man.

That's my point. Hollow Knight sold a lot. What harm would there be in expanding your team? The guys said they didn't want to grow too much not to hurt the cohesion of Team Cherry, but when you're taking 7 years to release what is an indie game, you're doing something wrong. There's a nice balance between team size and length of a project. 7 years for Silksong is utterly ridiculous. They're not managing their time well at all.I dunno, though, we're not the ones making it so how could we possibly know that. You're just making assumptions about things you don't actually know about

Playing the first one now. It's just a polished, well done, basic Metroidvania sanded down to a slick sheen.

Stardew Valley was made from scratch in 4 years including the engine. Made by one guy.
I dunno what's taking this so long. This became so out of scope. It was just supposed to be a dlc then spun off into a game.
The worst part is they already have everything laid out for them due to HK's success yet it feels like they are having more problems than their previous game.
My guess is that they're trying so hard to justify it being turned into a full fledged game and making sure that everything is better than the first game. I just don't know if they have the awareness of when to stop and maybe shelve other concepts into a third game.

The long wait, plus the fake announcement of a release window at that MS conference a while ago, have already made people skeptical about the game. Even if it's excellent, not everyone will be able to get over the disappointment and this will hurt the game's reception. Plus, once you've waited 8+ years, it isn't hard to wait a little longer for the game to be on sale. They've shit the bed with this long development time. This isn't 3D Mario.

I guess this guys got rich with the money from HK and priorities changed ... maybe that ONE guy that is the real brain has been swimming in coke and pussy or whetever he likes or maybe all of them just wants to realize all their nerd dreams and dont give a fuck anymore. I can see this happening with 3 guys, not a whole big studio .. but three guys ? Sure.
Its a 2d indy metroidvania with a very solid fundation from the first game, theres just no reason to after 7 years you have nothing to show. Obviously its on development hell... the first game took 3 ? Years to make from scratch and its not a little small game.

Nothing. And lol at anyone who still think that it will ever be released.

18.4 percent of PlayStation players earned the Charmed Trophy, which is "Acquire half of Hallownest's Charms".
I'm 10 hours into the game and I got this trophy.
That's awful engagement metrics for such a supposedly loved game.

It is beloved, which persuades people to buy it even if it isn't regularly their type of game. To be fair, it didn't click with me also when I first played it but months later I loved it and it's definitely one of the best Metroidvanias.
I bought Dakar Desert Rally cheap on sale the other day and only like 50% have finished a stage to qualify
(which is not difficult, I think the first one is literally one race)... It's a goddam racing game!

I could understand if this was an entirely new game, but this was originally DLC to Hollow Knight turned into a new game… so it's built off the bones of HK. Once it finally comes out and it's amazing, "all will be forgiven". Still sucks having to wait this long and little to no updates.

Hey, now. That would take precious time out of development.

The irony of the clown sitting on the bench in his image is the fans of the first game thinking this sequel is ever coming
