Silksong

They technically showed some gameplay during the ROG Ally part, and they said the game is coming out this year and will be on game pass…

So I guess that's something lol.

Game not being dead and (allegedly) coming out this year is good enough news for me.

I feel sort of bad for the devs. I can't think of another indie studio that has ever had this much pressure put on them.

And as good as Hollow Knight was, it still had plenty of flaws. I think Silksong will be judged a lot more harshly once it comes out.

I'm reeeaaalllly hoping they hit a home run, though.

It's a weird world we live in as Deltarune just released and there seems to be no buzz around it. Maybe giving away half of the game was a bad idea.

To be fair, this is partly on them. If TC just released even a couple updates (tweets, blog posts, videos, etc...) each year this wouldn't have happened. But alas, it is what it is. As you said, I hope they've improved the overall Hollow Knight formula and that they didn't use all this time just to expand the map/add new zones.

It's insane to me that at not a single one of these events a date or trailer wasn't shown.

This is like a star citizen level of vaporware.

This game will be a case study in what not to do as an indie dev.

What baffles me the most is that they have a dedicated PR guy. The fact that they're not releasing any news or updates on the project is therefore a deliberate choice. But I don't understand the reason behind it. And no, I don't think it's just to generate hype, because as many have already said, this could backfire spectacularly if the game ends up being disappointing.

Damn that's a nice gig. Just collecting paychecks doing nothing.
 
Until I see steam reviews that prove me wrong I consider the game another Subnautica, as in a first game that was a fucking masterpiece but then the developer had some serious internal struggles and became a shell of its former self like so many Western devs become nowadays

Needless to say my expectations are extremely low but I really, really hope I'm wrong

The same happened with Disco Elysium.

Studio is RIP now so we will never get a true sequel.

I don't know if it's the woketard scourge or the 0 IQ management that plagues many Western companies but very few Western devs are immune from this nowadays, it seems most of them now have a shelf-life and can never be trusted to have consistent quality. It used to be just AAA devs but it happens to indie ones more and more too nowadays

I think part of it most don't consider is just the work culture in the west vs east. My Korean counterpart for the company we both work for graduated college and this is the only company he's ever worked for. He's just climbed the ladder there. He said that's just how it is for them.

I imagine the same or similar occurs with game devs in Asia. You commit and lock in even if the work condition or pay isn't superb.

In the west? We job hop quickly, lose motivation quickly , and in general throw away a good thing for promises of greener grass.

It only happens nowadays though and our work culture hasn't changed much, Western devs didn't use to become shit so fast before or in such ridiculously large numbers
 
We're making progress on that release date, their marketing manager Leth confirmed it'll be out before Holiday(Christmas) so we can eliminate Dec 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31!

This is the most troll game I've ever been excited for.
 
It's coming out before 2030

So I guess that's something lol.

They also said it was "coming to Gamepass within the next 12 months"....like 2 years ago.

worse than the bloodborne fanatics
That is only because Bloodborne came out so long ago and we bend over every year just for Sony to ram that redwood sized disappointment right down the ass of hope.

Many of us are done. If they announce anything they'll get a micro golfclap from me. That's it
 
Anyone who can't just live a normal life and ignore the media until an official announcement comes out, is a fucking idiot.

Whether it's Half Life 3, Bloodborne or whatever the hell this is, get a fucking life already.

Dashed hopes for a Bloodborne sequel are self inflicted as neither Sony nor FromSoft have ever hinted at one.

I agree with the larger sentiment, but I don't think many are living an abnormal life because of a game not getting a sequel, just rather hoping for one. Those games really aren't comparable either. A Bloodborne sequel is just the wild hopes of a fanbase. HL2:E2 ended on a cliff hanger so people obviously assumed it would be followed up on. Silksong was planned DLC that's scope has grown into a fully fledged product that we receive periodic updates about.
