>40 bosses
is this why it took seven years?

>>718707212 (OP)
with all the dlc in HK1, there's close to that many, isn't there?

Aussies are lazy and they were just spending their 30mil and purposely taking their sweet fucking time.

>>718707212 (OP)
No, because there were only three people working on it

>>718707401
yeah but it's a fucking DLC, they weren't making a new game

>>718707506
lil bro did you sleep through 2019?

>>718707506
Anon.... Its been sold as it's own stand alone game

>>718707212 (OP)
I'd much rather have 6 - 8 well designed and memorable bosses than 40 forgettable ones

See I'm a Randian Egoist and I am pleased as punch when devs take a me centric approach to development. I'm glad they had fun, and them continuing to have fun is what is guaranteeing great DLC to n the future.

>>718707212 (OP)
They had to milk the first game as much as possible first

>>718707506
It started as a DLC but has been made expressly clear that it scope-creeped beyond that.

Backers of the original Kickstarter are still entitled to it for free.

>>718707212 (OP)
HK has 42.

>>718707212 (OP)
I hope this shit has more interesting gameplay mechanics which you can change to fit your playstyle.

>>718708492
Or maybe they wanted to polish and kept adding more content like Concerned Ape did with Stardew

>>718707212 (OP)
>They had people believing this game was stuffed to the gills with content
>It's marginally bigger than HK
Scam, false advertising through and through

WOAH MORE OF THE BLOATED SHITTY METROIDVANIA WITH TOTALLY-NOT RIPPED OFF SOULSLOP FROMSHITWARE STYLE CONTENT AND "ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING"

Hollow Tranny fans are literally Walmart Fromdrones.

>>718707212 (OP)
I did not even like HK bosses besides a few exceptions. But I guess they gotta please the mentally ill soulsborne girls with another autism gauntlet .

Rate the bosses in the trailer

>>718709681
Seth didn't appear but if he did Seth >>>> Everyone else

>>718709681
All of them look kino. This one is probably the one I look forward to the most.

>>718707212 (OP)
Hollow Knight had 47 bosses

>more views and likes than the GTA6 trailer within a few mere hours
what the actual fuck, going off the steam achievements alone most of the playerbase hasn't even beaten a few bosses what the fuck kind of hype is this? Is this bots? Is FOMO not even playing the game anymore? I don't understand.

>>718709681
The mantis lords were my favorite boss in HK, which is why picrel takes the cake for me

>>718707685
Blood will tell had 50 bosses and each one gave you a body part back

Most of the fanbase only ever watched the game be played on Youtube, only ever heard their Discord friends say it was good. They watched Game Theory and Mossbag lore videos while they ate and watched speedruns from their favorite streamer.
It's THE modern indie game, no one plays it but it just continues to proliferate through cultural homeopathy.

Of course they had the chance to procrastinate and spread 1 year of work into 7 since their meme game allowed them to have all the time in the world to "have fun" with the infinite financial support that they gathered and never had the intention to use for expanding their studios and workforce.
