February seems like our last hope for a while. If TC doesn’t say anything on or around the 5 year anniversary of the trailer, then the game probably still pretty far off.
Yeah, I honestly, unironically got a feeling that we are closer to it than ever It just... you know, gotta be 2024 at this point lol.
Wonder what the chances are that Team Cherry is lurking here and they're literally waiting for it to hit its 3rd anniversary before sharing any news?Wonder what the chances are this thread will hit its 3rd anniversary without any news.
That'd be February 14th, right? Given that was the announcement date and also Hollow Knight originally launched in February, I've had an extremely rough idea that Silksong might launch this February. Based on nothing other than that, really.Wonder what the chances are this thread will hit its 3rd anniversary without any news.
I mean the start date of this thread, November 10th 2021.That'd be February 14th, right? Given that was the announcement date and also Hollow Knight originally launched in February, I've had an extremely rough idea that Silksong might launch this February. Based on nothing other than that, really.
Actually I thought it might last year and we all know how that went, but hey, run it back!
wait a damn minute
wait a damn minute
Silksong has popped its head out of the holeIs the wait finally over? Or are we damned to wait another 5 years?
wait a damn minute
Fake menu. It would be called Hollow Knight: Silksong, not just "Silksong".
not really silksong related, but david kazi, one of the devs on the original game who left team cherry shortly after the release of HK, has started a new studio.
team cherry:Wait wasn't Team Cherry just three people? Did he get replaced or is TC now only two?
Rad, thanks. Had always heard it was a 3-person team but had no idea there was a swap after HKteam cherry:
- ari gibson: co-director of the studio, works on animation, art and game design
- william pellen: co-director of the studio, works on game design
- david kazi: technical director on HK, left team cherry in 2017
- jack vine: coder, helped team cherry with the console ports of HK and joined them full time for silksong
- honorary members: christopher larkin, composer for HK and silksong, and matthew griffin, handles marketing and PR for team cherry
David Kazi left all the way back in 2017, shortly after the release of Hollow Knight, and was their original programmer (with his job title being technical director). He apparently got a corporate job, but they don't seem to have parted on bad terms.Wait wasn't Team Cherry just three people? Did he get replaced or is TC now only two?
yeah, they all follow each other on twitter still, and team cherry is following the newly made account for kazi's studiothey don't seem to have parted on bad terms.
yeah, it's pretty sad. fans are acting unhinged, bothering a different dev with unrelated replies because team cherry liked a tweet.Absolutely wild people are asking a different indie team what Team Cherry is up to lmao. Must not feel great to announce a new project and get flooded with questions about a game you don't work on because of a liked tweet.
It would be fitting: First trailer at a direct last trailer at a direct. But I hope not, because they could delay it to the 14th to honor the anniversary./scopium but with their previous goal of h1 2023 I feel like it can't be that far away unless they had a huge change in it's development, I think an update at the next direct is plausible
That's true.copium but with their previous goal of h1 2023 I feel like it can't be that far away unless they had a huge change in it's development, I think an update at the next direct is plausible
That's true.
But, at the same time, I've been telling myself "it can't be too distant now" for at least two years. So who knows.
good god, it was so long ago when they teased that issue. december 2020...5th anniversary of the Silksong announcement is coming up, I really think we'll get something major. The glorious Edge cover feels it too.
At this point, the HK Clone Crowsworn will launch before Silksong does.
good god, it was so long ago when they teased that issue. december 2020...
I'm just so jaded at this point. I used to defend Team Cherry fiercely but their behavior has become completely indefensible by now. My hype for Silksong is like one tenth what it used to be. Of course I'll play it no matter what when it comes out, but TC better explain themselves at some point or they risk any good will that's left from fans.Five years is way too long to keep your fanbase waiting with barely any update since. I get they're a small team and games take a long time to make but don't release what could have easily been a launch trailer so far out. And if something went wrong with development, communicate better.
