Making a metroidvania-style thing in #cplusplus and #SDL2 inspired by #hollowknight. Don't know how far it'll go, but as linus torvalds once said, "This'll just be a small project, not anything big like the other contenders (or something like that)"
Currently finishing off a HK-style character controller system. It looks jaggedy, but I know that's just because of the lack of any animations, so the next step will be to integrate spritesheets and such. Then level elements and a loading system.

If you enjoyed #HollowKnight and want more while waiting for Silk Song, you can play Haiku the Robot, which is basically Hollow Knight with robots instead of insects. 👌
Yes, I COULD just come back to this optional boss in #HollowKnight until I'm better equipped with more charm slots, but why do that when I can lose twenty seven times in a row? 🙃
What are the first titles you think of when you hear #indiegame ? For me it's usually #hollowknight, #celeste and #supermeatboy Not an analysis, just first things that came into my mind.
i tried to do a #HollowKnight speedrun, using the pro route except for using deepnest instead of queen's gardens. i was slower than my previous best with my own route (1:19:12 - 1:23-ish) and it was super tilting.
It started very well, I did the mosquito skip first try, shade skip first try, watcher knights first try... that I really wasn't expecting. I'd never fought the watcher knights without double jump and nail upgrade before so I was pretty scared of that.
I'd have to go with #DeadCells (my fave indie) #Terraria (1000s of hours, no exaggeration) #HollowKnight (the aesthetic!) #LaMulana 2 (maddening, but I love it) #LittleNightmares 2 (if it counts as indie - not gonna get into the weeds)
Could probably go on for quite a while 😅
Anyways, let's share indie game love and recommendations, because they're the beating heart of gaming right now, AFAIC
After @heyheymomo talked about #HollowKnight being their favourite video game, I started fresh! Last two saves I had fizzled out when I didn't understand where to go next, so this time I looked up where I needed to go (without spoilers l, just which area was now accessible), and I just finished it!!
Wow, that ending. Really glad I played it. Thanks Momo!
At this point in waiting for #Silksong, the only logical solution is clear: We need to crowdfund a class-action lawsuit against #TeamCherry to force them to release the game regardless of whether it’s finished I may or may not be serious about this
