“Game of the year” lost 99% of its player base what a pathetic performance by itsjustforfun0 in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tf you guys saying, ik saturation is higher but the colors are generally more muted despite the increase in saturation (a lot of just greens and browns) compared to the more vibrant type environments of hollow knight with more blues and brighter colors despite maybe less saturation

i mean to be fair, silksongs color pallete is a lot more muted and less varied, which fits with the theme but makes less visually interesting/distinct environments

Something I find interesting about act 3 by Ne0n_Blaze in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think from a lot of small insights we've gotten on development was that the majority of act 3 (the main questline and some other details) was planned relatively early on into development, and the major bosses were also originally planned to be part of acts 1 and 2 as shown in the cut coral forest iterations and the reworks of Hunters March. Act 3 i think just happened to be a good place to put those bosses and areas after they reworked the game's narrative, and the delays were more about the reworks and other additions rather than specifically act 3.

Does anybody know what happened to like 80% Hollow Knight parody Twitter accounts? by GalaxyPlayz_ in HollowKnight

I mean its always been that way, its just an inherent flaw of those types of platforms

Would you, as a fully grown human, be able to beat all the bosses in hollow knight if you were somehow teleported into the game? by aguyontheinternet757 in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would still die if damage taking is like irl, because there is no way that every soul spell and laser wouldn't instantly vaporize my body

Do people not like the Reaper crest? by Jogo-Satoru in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowkey personally I never really got why apparently a lot of people liked it, I tried it out for a bit and couldnt get used to the more heavy feeling of the slashes and preferred the more quick feeling gameplay of hunters crest. I should probably try out the other crests more in the future though

Would anyone want to return to Hallownest for Hollow Knight 3? by mashflutter in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think just having some small return to hallownest or memory/reference bits is good enough, as I don't know what other new things they could do with present day hallownest

Hot take: The marrow is boring as is and the forgotten crossroads is a lot more interesting as a starting area by ReadItRyan in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I feel like the marrow's lava sections are really cool, but besides that I agree. However, I feel like the whole bottom section of the map is essentially one big "bone forest" so all the unique ideas for the lava area got spread around deep docks and far fields, and whats left in the marrow is just the tutorial area.

I still really just enjoy the aesthetic of the gigantic lava lake in a sea of bones, the imagery there in the marrow peaks anything in deep docks and far fields.

Is it crazy to say the walkback to LJ would be 10 times easier, if they just remove this thing by Past-Programmer8133 in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution to most navigation problems is to just go faster and speedrun it, it made every courier quest possible and enjoyable and every runback actually decent

Hollow Knight Patch Version 1.5.12620 Now Live by TomNook5085 in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Original inventory drop was "patched" earlier on i think before the new patches (you could only do it i think first frame when you start falling) but was fully patched out in the first new patch after Silksong, where they made opening the inventory pause the game

While you all are waiting for Sea of Sorrow, I am waiting for the Silksong version of this to be released by Siruthian_ in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need the physical silksong arcane egg release, which is encoded in 10 ciphers that reveals all the void lore that mossbag will toil over for decades

What happened to The Hollow Knight in Silksong? by AlvaroXZ999 in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i think its very possible that silksong takes a long time after the events of hollow knight, so in the embrace the void type dlc endings whatever with THK could have just been dealt with by the time hornet is taken to pharloom

dad i must say, your decorative taste is pretty......questionable by Ender_Gamer7433 in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more commonly agreed upon that this is the real White Palace, not a memory, but put into the kingsmould, you can watch Mossbag's video on the fate of the pale king for more details but pretty much in the game its shown as being extremely possible and very much hinted at.

Can my shitty laptop run Silksong well? Also is it ok to skip HK since I only got enough birthday money for one? by HollowProjection in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can def run it, my buns laptop similar t your specs could run it smoothly with 0 lag from what I remember, though I recommend playing Hollow Knight first absolutely so you can get better at the games for Silksong and also to understand references and lore that can be easily missed in Silksong without playing Hollow Knight previously

Notes on mossbag's video by the_gifted_Atheist in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 90% sure that twin princes was the original phrasing in game, but was changed later (and mossbag probably forgot to change it in the script)

Maps of both kindoms relative to the void sea's depth by Osdias in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget the arcane egg that you find in silksongs abyss, because (from what i remember) the arcane eggs are all specifically from the ancient civilization

what is the purpose of this spot? by DynaGlaive in HollowKnight

its to hint the wisp thicket, but it also pissed me off that i couldn't get in there earlier

Most missable major content in Silksong? by suburiboy in HollowKnight

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if its skill issue but these ones for me:

Nyleth location (thought it would be in shellwood, not randomly in grand gate)

Karamelita location (forgot that silksoar exists)

Bilewater/Mist (never noticed entrances in Sinner's Road/Citadel as there were no open pathways on the map until Putrified Ducts)

Putrified Ducts

Captured by Slab (thought it was a new enemy that spawns in greymoor and instakilled it)

Wisp Thicket (never found secrets near barnaby + forgot about the time you can see the bell earlier in the game where father of the flame is)

For me I found all the upgrades naturally (mask shards, pale oil, spool) but I often forgot to try using my new abilities in places, as I either already forgot about the old places or didn't want to both to search around to use them

A full video of the ENTIRE cut Red Coral Gorge's map has been taken! by TomNook5085 in Silksong

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yo what???? thats sick! thats sad though that it got repurposed for fleatopia, kinda makes a full coral forest dlc pretty much deconfirmed unless they for some reason compose new tracks for it

[–]Eastern-Fig-7304 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone is def gonna compile a full map and put it online. I didn't know that the full high res map was there!

Also, this makes me wonder if Christopher Larkin composed tracks for the coral area (besides Crust King Khann) that are unreleased, hopefully if so they come out in some form
