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

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 isGame not being dead
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.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.

It is
Bookmarked for future reference.It's cancelled. Just accept it.
Silksong people are part of the vegans of gaming crowd. They won't shut the fuck up about it and feel the need to constantly bring it up.Why is everyone obsessed with Silksong is all I've seen in every showcases chat
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.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.
So bunch of bellends thenSilksong people are part of the vegans of gaming crowd. They won't shut the fuck up about it and feel the need to constantly bring it up.
Damn that's a nice gig. Just collecting paychecks doing nothing.What baffles me the most is that they have a dedicated PR guy.

Because hollow knight is one of the if not the greatest meteoidvania gameWhy is everyone obsessed with Silksong is all I've seen in every showcases chat
Because it's the follow up to Hollow Knight which is high up on the top 10 of all time list and top 3 Metroidvanias.Why is everyone obsessed with Silksong is all I've seen in every showcases chat
The same happened with Disco Elysium.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 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 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 of 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 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.
Silksong is real though.worse than the bloodborne fanatics

Silksong is real though.
Shovel knight is better than hollow knight?Shovel > Hollow

3, it was 2022 when they announced this.It's coming out before 2030

They also said it was "coming to Gamepass within the next 12 months"....like 2 years ago.
Because hollow knight is one of the if not the greatest meteoidvania game
So that's why we simp over it
Shovel > Hollow
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.worse than the bloodborne fanatics

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.
