I’m happy they are taking their time - if Silksong comes close to the quality of Hollow Knight it will be a great game, and they definitely have a chance to make it even better.
I do however wish there was just a bit more communication. Not even release dates or anything, just a small “things are coming along nicely” every couple of months, maybe with tiny peeks at new art. Their official channels have been pretty much dead for years now.
Agreed. I trust team cherry as HK is one of the greatest gaming experiences Ive ever had in my life but the lack of communication is tough. Same with Fromsoftware and Patrick Rothfuss lol please end my suffering pat
Its a really odd situation with the kingkiller books because they were such a massive influence on my childhood and now im in my 30’s just still waiting to find out what happens next
I think the process of taking your time and flipping off the marketing managers is a good one; but I’ve also seen signs that if development takes TOO long, the internal creative momentum can kind of grind to a halt or even be overtaken as they become outdated against advances in game design.
The developers are generally gamers too, and the passion for development is often fueled by excitement for the concept - excitement that can fade the same way as with fans (granted, they have to be more patient than most fans). Sticking with something too long can even lead to low confidence in that concept.
I can be patient, I just hope their approach hasn’t lead to internal burnout.
IMO that‘s how actual art‘s supposed to be made. You don‘t just churn it out on a conveyer belt. It‘s a 2D game so it‘s not like technological progress will force them to jump engines over and over again. I‘m not worried.
