Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.96,0:00:35.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it appears Team Cherry has found a medium\Nthat is impervious to server crashes: print

Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.62,0:00:40.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hence, our latest batch of Silksong news comes\Nfrom Edge magazine.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.92,0:00:59.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And now we have issue 354 which includes an\Ninterview from Team Cherry about Silksong,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.50,0:01:03.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and has two cover arts drawn by Ari Gibson\Nhimself.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.04,0:01:06.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This article was written by Jen Simpkins,\Nwho has actually interviewed Team Cherry before
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.72,0:01:11.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back in Edge issue 329, where they discussed\NHollow Knight’s development.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.47,0:01:15.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But this new article contains heaps of new\Ninformation and screenshots regarding Silksong.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.89,0:01:19.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There’s a link in the description where\Nyou can purchase a single digital issue of

Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.61,0:01:29.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Buying a copy also helps legitimize indie\Ngames as being worth writing cover stories
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.03,0:01:32.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.93,0:01:37.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the first topics discussed in this\Narticle is why exactly Team Cherry decided
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.05,0:01:42.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make Silksong a completely separate game\Nfrom Hollow Knight, as opposed to just a DLC.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.70,0:01:45.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the reason is because Hornet is too damn\Ntall.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.87,0:01:50.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Knight is a little shrimp compared to\NHornet, and due to her more acrobatic style,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.38,0:01:54.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,higher jumps and weightier feel, Team Cherry\Nfelt like she would be too cramped maneuvering
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.71,0:01:56.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through the corridors of Hallownest.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.99,0:01:59.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is sort of funny to think about.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.22,0:02:03.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hallownest is already considered one of the\Nlargest metroidvania maps out there, and yet
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.55,0:02:06.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it feels too claustrophobic for Hornet.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.43,0:02:09.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,According to William, it took them a year\Nand a half to fully understand how much Hornet’s
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.70,0:02:12.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,height affects designing for her.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.30,0:02:15.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another interesting tidbit of information\Nis that Team Cherry wants to make Silksong
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.93,0:02:18.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as accessible as possible.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.07,0:02:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And by that I mean people can play Silksong\Nwithout playing Hollow Knight first.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.36,0:02:26.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it seems like Team Cherry wants to have\Na bit of a barrier between the events of Silksong
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.73,0:02:30.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Hollow Knight so new players don’t get\Ncompletely confused.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.72,0:02:35.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In general that’s probably a good idea,\Nbut honestly, I would have preferred if new
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.22,0:02:40.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,players were required to watch all of my videos\Nbefore even being allowed to play Silksong.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.08,0:02:44.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe a password on the opening title screen\Nasking what my favorite color is, or how many
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.11,0:02:45.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,warrants I have.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.36,0:02:46.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stuff like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.71,0:02:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another thing Team Cherry mentioned is that\Nthey want Silksong to match Hollow Knight
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.99,0:02:52.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of difficulty as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.33,0:02:57.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the early areas of Silksong are supposed\Nto be similarly easy compared to the early
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.04,0:02:58.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,areas of Hollow Knight.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.64,0:03:03.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now while waiting in line for the Silksong\Ndemo at PAX Australia, I saw plenty of people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.18,0:03:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,absolutely getting destroyed by the Moss Grotto\Narea, but then again, people struggled with
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.42,0:03:10.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Forgotten Crossroads too.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.45,0:03:14.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it’s kinda hard for me to judge whether\Nwhat I played was actually easier or harder
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.90,0:03:17.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than the early Hollow Knight areas.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.26,0:03:22.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That being said, late game Silksong probably\Nwon’t shy away from cranking up the difficulty
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.59,0:03:25.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well as giving us some lore connections\Nto Hollow Knight.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.40,0:03:26.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, there has to be.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.100,0:03:29.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m still waiting for a resolution to Bretta.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.53,0:03:33.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, it appears the enemies in Silksong\Nare going to be more sophisticated.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.45,0:03:37.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We could already see that in the E3 demo,\Nwith these simple bell enemies already showing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.42,0:03:40.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,off a bit more dynamic interactions.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.55,0:03:44.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in this interview, Team Cherry specifically\Npoints out that some of the enemies in Hollow
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.33,0:03:49.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Knight feel very video gamey, like the sentries\Nin the City of Tears.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.06,0:03:52.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With Silksong, they feel like the enemies\Nof the world should be more dynamic and aware
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.39,0:03:53.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of their surroundings.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.71,0:03:58.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ari says that they have spent more time focusing\Non combat over platforming with Silksong due
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.22,0:04:01.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to Hornet having more weight and less hang\Ntime.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.01,0:04:06.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that’s enough about vague game design\Ndecisions, let’s talk about what we actually
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.34,0:04:08.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learn about Pharloom in this interview.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.85,0:04:13.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To give a brief overview, Pharloom has been\Ndescribed as a land haunted by silk and song,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.77,0:04:17.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and many have visited the land in a pilgrimage\Nto make it to the shining Citadel at the top
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.89,0:04:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the kingdom.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.12,0:04:23.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One thing we learned from this Edge article\Nis that pilgrims are actually carrying precious
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.17,0:04:27.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thread up to the Citadel, and that they will\Nactually attack other pilgrims on the way
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.60,0:04:29.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for some reason.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.33,0:04:34.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also the kingdom is littered with gates that\Ncan only be opened by paying melodic tributes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.33,0:04:37.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,although that was something we already speculated.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.26,0:04:40.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Apparently Hornet has become weakened due\Nto her time trapped in the sealed cage we
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.91,0:04:46.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,saw in the intro, which might explain why\Nshe passes out after the Moss Mother fight.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.26,0:04:49.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ari explains this in a pretty alarming statement.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.09,0:04:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“Part of what Hornet’s doing is she’s\Nlost her traditional strength… and the Weavers,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.76,0:04:57.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or what’s left of them, are helping her\Nrestore it.”
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.70,0:05:00.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what exactly is Hornet’s “traditional\Nstrength”?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.68,0:05:02.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is that just her physical strength?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.85,0:05:05.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Did she lose her spidey sense or some shit?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.53,0:05:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then there’s “what’s left of the\NWeavers”.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.44,0:05:10.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That does not sound good.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.20,0:05:14.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,From screenshots and the Edge article, we\Ncan tell that the Weavers are residing in
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.70,0:05:19.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chambers here in Pharloom, possibly behind\Nthese, but we don’t know.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.38,0:05:21.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are they trapped in these locations?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.47,0:05:24.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or are they hiding so they don’t get taken\Nto the Citadel?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.43,0:05:28.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The floor in this room is identical to that\Nof the Weaver’s Den in Hallownest, so it
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.65,0:05:32.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is most likely a location built by Weavers.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.07,0:05:35.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Since the pilgrims are bringing threads up\Nto the Citadel, it seems like a safe bet to
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.66,0:05:40.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,assume that these bugs want silk, so would\Nprobably want to capture Weavers, hence some
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.91,0:05:44.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of them are hiding or are protected by these\Ngates.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.65,0:05:47.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what exactly are these bugs doing with\Nthis silk?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.29,0:05:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, I mentioned in my first Silksong video\Nan idea that bugs below the Citadel are being
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.47,0:05:55.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,controlled by silk some way, sort of like\Npuppets.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.08,0:05:59.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And since then, people have pointed out that\Nwhen enemies die in Silksong, we can briefly
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.35,0:06:02.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,see long silk threads above them.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.01,0:06:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This phenomenon is consistent and definitely\Nintentional by the developers.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.80,0:06:12.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another thing I think we can say fairly confidently\Nis that the name Pharloom is actually pretty
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.51,0:06:13.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,literal.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.75,0:06:18.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this image we can clearly see silk running\Ntogether in lines, with these bindings that
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.51,0:06:22.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,appear to be like forks used in actual looms.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.22,0:06:26.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the bugs of the Citadel are collecting\Nsilk from Weavers and pilgrims to add to their
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.82,0:06:32.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,giant loom which in turn they used to do something\Nthat results in the citizens of the kingdom
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.73,0:06:34.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being haunted by silk.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.62,0:06:37.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or something like that, I’m not sure.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.02,0:06:41.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One thing we do know is that the Weavers grant\NHornet the ability to use power ups, one in
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.27,0:06:46.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,particular being the Silk Spear, which allows\NHornet to break through web barriers.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.50,0:06:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My guess is this move is the Silk Spear, although\Nit’s described as a lunging move, while
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.00,0:06:54.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is more of a stabbing move.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.53,0:06:58.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the Weavers will probably hold power ups\Nthat Hornet will need to reach new areas,
