Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL. @TeamCherryGames is still cooking.

3 people vs ~3,000 people. But sure let's equivocate on this odd comparison of apples and orangesTeam Cherry is taking longer to make this game than it takes to make most AAA games.
This is just stupid at this point.
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![]()
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 aboutSilksong also lacks the hallmarks of a AAA game, duh.

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.
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. 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.
Playing the first one now. It's just a polished, well done, basic Metroidvania sanded down to a slick sheen.I am failing to see what's special about this game.
this its getting to duke nukem forever type of status.The definition of Vaporware
Didn't know stardew was one guy that's wildStardew 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.
They are trying to add color this timeI am failing to see what's special about this game.
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.
i bet when its out its only a 7

Nothing. And lol at anyone who still think that it will ever be released.I am failing to see what's special about this game.

Switch, Switch 2, PS5, PS5 Pro, Gamepass, Geforce Now, Steam, Steam Deck verifiedMaybe just save this for the Switch 2.
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.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.
Hey, now. That would take precious time out of development.Fine but maybe put out some official updates then.
