Dialogue: 0,0:09:52.54,0:09:55.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and really screwed up any kind of narrative they tried to make
Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.64,0:09:58.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and trust me, the narrative is already confusing enough

Dialogue: 0,0:10:38.82,0:10:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What's interesting is that Team Cherry never consciously labelled their game as a metroidvania.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:43.24,0:10:46.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Regardless, Hollow Knight does draw a lot of inspiration from the genre.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:47.20,0:10:53.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Team Cherry openly admits that Metroid and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrows inspired them when creating Hollow Knight.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:53.66,0:10:56.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But they also list other games as well, such as Zelda 2

Dialogue: 0,0:10:58.28,0:11:01.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They also cite Megaman X as an inspiration for the movement and controls.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:02.10,0:11:05.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The charm system was based on the badge system from Paper Mario.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:05.70,0:11:07.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They also cite Pikmin at some point,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:07.54,0:11:09.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I don't really know how? or um...
Dialogue: 0,0:11:10.56,0:11:11.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why?
Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.62,0:11:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yes, there is a bit of Dark Souls in there as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:15.10,0:11:20.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have implied that the corpse run mechanic is at least somewhat inspired by Dark Souls
Dialogue: 0,0:11:20.02,0:11:22.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While Dark Souls isn't the first game to do this,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:22.68,0:11:25.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they definitely brought the mechanic into the mainsteam.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:25.58,0:11:28.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In terms of story and lore, Team Cherry has never said

Dialogue: 0,0:11:31.24,0:11:33.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is suspicious.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:33.36,0:11:38.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, the White Lady is basically one giant pair of tits away from basically being Gwynevere, but whatever.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:38.84,0:11:44.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Team Cherry also said that the soul mechanic in Hollow Knight took inspiration form the rally mechanic in Bloodborne.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:44.52,0:11:46.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After taking hit in Bloodborne,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:46.22,0:11:49.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the player has the opportunity to regain their lost health
Dialogue: 0,0:11:49.18,0:11:51.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by dealing damage to an enemy.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:51.74,0:11:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But after a short period of time, this opportunity vanishes.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:55.54,0:11:58.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah, when it comes to inspiration for Hollow Knight,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:58.48,0:11:59.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think William said it best:

Dialogue: 0,0:12:02.06,0:12:03.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dude: "Hey, well that's the way to do it"
Dialogue: 0,0:12:03.80,0:12:08.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Kickstarter goal for Hollow Knight was $35,000 Australian.

Dialogue: 0,0:12:29.82,0:12:32.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was a huge ramp up right at the end, closing out the

Dialogue: 0,0:12:36.50,0:12:37.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After the dust settled,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:38.04,0:12:39.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and late Paypal payments were added up,

Dialogue: 0,0:12:56.24,0:12:58.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That meant ditching Stencil once and for all.

Dialogue: 0,0:13:01.62,0:13:04.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the game was going to need to be built in a new engine.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:04.46,0:13:05.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Team Cherry decided on Unity,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:06.28,0:13:08.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bringing in Dave Kozi to help them out.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:08.92,0:13:12.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dave was an experienced programmer and knew his way around Unity,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:12.46,0:13:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when comparing the game in both engines
Dialogue: 0,0:13:14.94,0:13:17.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's pretty obvious that they made the right choice.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:17.76,0:13:23.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Around March, 2015, Team Cherry commissioned Christopher Larkin to compose the soundtrack for Hollow Knight.

Dialogue: 0,0:13:44.56,0:13:48.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The base idea was that there would be three guardians that the player would have to defeat
