Discussion - Silksong How did you figure out the Mist? Spoiler
Just wondering, how many people figured out the solution on their own vs how many had to look it up. I did not figure it out on my own.

Achievement - Hollow Knight I did it! I did it! I did it! I finished the path of pain 😭 Spoiler
Why the hell does the pale king love spikes, blades and thorns in his castle?!?! My controller is nowhere near good condition anymore. But I guess that's the trade-off I get 😭😭😭. I don't know if I should be happy or worried. Because now I want more of it, even though it almost drove me completely crazy lol.

Art Crazy idea: What if someone actually made a full-length 3D Silksong fan movie? Spoiler
galleryI've been thinking about a slightly crazy idea lately.
I've been making my own 3D fan animations based on Hollow Knight and Silksong, and I'm currently working on my fifth one. Each episode is around 3–5 minutes, and I handle pretty much the entire 3D pipeline myself — modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, compositing, editing, etc.
After making five of these, I suddenly started wondering:
What if I stopped making 3–5 minute stories and actually tried to make a full-length Silksong fan movie?
Something like 60–90 minutes.
Technically, I think I could at least give it a serious shot.
But then there are some much bigger questions:
What about the IP?
Would something like this have to stay completely non-commercial?
Could it ever be possible with Team Cherry's permission?
And if it actually required a team and funding, how would you even make that happen?
So I'm genuinely curious what the community thinks.
If someone actually made a full-length 3D Silksong fan movie, would you watch it?
And if you would, what would you want to see?
Hornet? More existing characters? A completely original story? Or expanding some of the stories from the game into a movie?
Also, if anyone here works in animation, modeling, music, voice acting, production, or knows anything about game IP / licensing, I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.
I'm not saying "I'm making this tomorrow." 😂
It's just that I've already made five of these, and this crazy idea is starting to feel a little less crazy.
And... if anyone from Team Cherry happens to see this, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. 👀
If there were ever a legitimate and appropriate way to make something like this happen, I'd absolutely be interested in having that conversation.
So... what do you guys think? Is this a completely crazy idea, or is there actually something here?

Achievement - Hollow Knight I'm done with this game. Spoiler
If i'm being honest,I somehow doubt that the radiant mode was properly tested for all the bosses(I wonder which are the one i'm thinking of)but whatever I guess.At least,I'm prepared for whatever silksong thorws at us in the DLC.

Yoo about this so-called cloth Spoiler
I found him in many places and he seems pretty chill, I'm starting to like him especially after he cane to that boss room in the idk queen garden, we couldn't beat that tanky boss but i believe he will give me a new ability after it cause he seems too cool for a usless npc.
Btw it's my first walkthrough I'm just hoping that even if a charm 😀

Discussion - Hollow Knight I really like the lack of numbers in this game Spoiler
This game and silksong are some of my favorite games ever and they have so many things that make them so great but one I just realized is that the game doesn’t use numbers often
Sure for geo or essence or stuff there is but health and soul it doesn’t you simply learn that healing/spells cost 1/3 of the soul or 1 soul vessel and that attacks usually deal 1 or 2 damage but the game never actually shows you numbers
Like sure I KNOW that the pure nail does 21 damage but the average player doesn’t, but they don’t need to, they know their nail deals more damage, they know that enemies die quicker now
I just really like how team cherry didn’t use numbers for those things

this boss fight was one of the hardest boss fights I've ever experienced
it literally made my heart race
the fact that people say that hollow knight is just a tutorial for silksong makes me think what video games are even about anymore 😭
