Sorry for the Double Post but we got an name of one of the new characters.

Turns out the Fire Ant Boss is named Hunter Queen Carmelita. She was just added to the Hollow Knight Silksong Press Kit.

Huh, cool.

On another note, Pure Vessel's range is ridiculous sometimes, which is weird because I never had that problem with the Hollow Knight.

How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.

Nintendo Treehouse footage of Silksong. Shows the opening cutscene through the first boss, and a later area with some NPC's and a recurring boss.

Nice to see Hornet bantering with other characters.

That boss fight with Lace was absolutely bonkers.

Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games of the last few years easily. I think Silksong is the most hyped I've felt for a game too. I need it so bad.

Lace is a dance fighter. Dang, she and Hunter Queen Carmelita are rapidly approaching my favorites next to Hornet and Ghost

So far I like what I'm seeing.

Hornet is not a Silent Protagonist, as we speculated. The healing mechanic indeed seems to be "full heal, but takes a full silk bar". Sprinting is unlocked very early it seems.

8-Bit Music Theory is doing a great series this month analyzing Hollow Knight's soundtrack and Larkin's work, it's giving me a greater appreciation for the music and how it fits into the world and the story that Team Cherry built.

Oh man, I'll need to check that out.

It's been fun.

Great stuff. I assume that "bloawwwoow" noted at the end of Sealed Vessel is proper professional notation. tongue

I noticed on the Permanently Missable Content section there was nothing about Zote and his various content. I don't know too much about him or his content so I didn't add it myself but if someone else does it should probably be added to the list.

I could just be missing it but I couldn't find a link anywhere on the page to a discussion page like this forum. I'm new here so if that's not normal protocol forgive my ignorance but I thought I should point it out. Also is there any way to mark a thread to be notified of new comments/updates to it?

Taking a look at the world design of Hollow Knight.

Team Cherry blog post detailing Silksong development progress, a few new enemy designs, and some music tracks from the game. Plus some new Hollow Knight merch.

I think they've upped the budget on the music, because it's sounding even better than the first game. Also, part of me really wants that piano book, but I've already spent so much this month...

I'd love to hear a rendition of City of Tears with live instruments and the in-game progression. The vocal version on the soundtrack is cool, but it doesn't do the theme justice.

[up][up]The way they handled the soundtrack version of City of Tears is pretty weird. I can understand why they added in the vocals, but flat out cutting out a huge chunk of the melody doesn't make sense. Maybe the soundtrack version is an earlier draft?

Also, looking at the Bandcamp page for the Silksong music samples, seems I was right about them upping the music budget. They hired an entire string quartet for Silksong's music, while the original game just had a single viola player, along with the aforementioned City of Tears vocalist.

I'm really digging those live strings.

Yeah, with the emphasis on silk as a theme, it makes perfect sense to have a heavily string-inspired sound. And as such, getting a string quartet's going to make some lovely music for this game.

Some of the best parts of the original OST like Sealed Vessel's second half just wouldn't have been as impactful without that live element giving a real punch to the score.

So I got the King's Brand (2nd Hornet fight is great, BTW), does that mean I can go through the black doors already?

You're supposed to use it on the door to the Ancient Basin.

[up]Is that on the King's graveyard?

it's an area at basically the bottom of the map. You can get to it from either the royal waterways or by unlocking the tram
