    One important thing that isn't mentioned in this video: they're very, very rich now. Multi-multi millionaires. That changes how you approach life, what you prioritize, how you spend your time. And it makes your life waaay more complicated. Silksong is a passion project for them. They need it to be perfect because Hollow Knight was so good. They have no financial reason to release it. This could take a while.

  • @eastonmoon
    @eastonmoon 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Comparing the current situation of Silksong to Deltarune, Toby has managed to temper fans and expectations by releasing the ch1 demo and news letters that let fans understand the current stage of development. In the most recent news letter we got to know that Deltarune c3&4 are basically done and now only need translation and legal release stuff. TeamCherry failed to have that clarity and then went on to promise a "releasing soon" in TWO major gaming events, not even willing to allow public access to the playable demo it's had for in-person events.

  • @candace219

    I really really appreciate this video. I totally understand that people want a sequel for their favorite game to come out, but it's a little concerning seeing so many people be so hostile to its creators because they misunderstand not only how much effort and time a video game takes but also how exhausting social media can be. It's really refreshing to see someone who offers a little empathy, so thank you :)

  • @reedlewis2968
    @reedlewis2968 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It really isn't even taking that long compared to the original, especially considering its supposed to be a lot bigger. The only real issue is that they announced it way to early but even then they kinda didn't have a choice. Because they had promised hornet as a playable character as a fundraising goal but then decided they'd rather just make an entire game instead of trying to work a second playable character into the original. If they hadn't at least announced the existence of silksong people would still be complaining about how hornet isn't playable

      2.2 only took so long because rob kept refusing any help while also experiencing insane amounts of scope creep. it could have come years sooner if he accepted any help or stopped adding useless features. team cherry is better managed, has more people, and (probably) isn't / won't experience nearly as much scope creep.

    People need to call down about silksong. Team Cherry hasnt earned our animosity yet. They are super humble and kind people, we need to trust the development process. A lottle bit of news or a screenshot of progress everyonce and while as a teaser would be nice. But, lets not lose ourself to a mob mentality, Silksong looks amazing. But it will take time, and with new tech and experience the game is probably going to be great.

    Some people don't realize that these developers are not public servants. They aren't out there for you, slaving for you, to make a product for you. They released an amazing game, and are likely enjoying life and the fruits of their labors. They are taking their time, making their game, the way they want. If you don't like that, too bad.
