[dimm0505]

Как известно, много метроидваний не бывает =) Игра, изначально планировавшаяся (кроме других платформ) на Wii U теперь должна выйти на Свитче (в 2017 году).

What kind of game is this?
Hollow Knight is a 2D platformer in the vein of Metroid where you will move through a, hand-drawn, interconnected world while gaining abilities and combating enemies.

What are some of the features/mechanics in Hollow Knight?
A Hunter’s Journal that you can add each of the 140 enemies and 140 bosses to, a Dream Nail that allows you to leap into the minds of NPCs and enemies and equitable Charms that offer bizarre new powers and abilities.

Are there unlockable modes?
Beating the game will unlock Steel Soul Mode which is described as “the ultimate challenge”.

Is Hollow Knight coming to other platforms not already listed?
Team Cherry has stated the game is possibly coming to other platforms in the future.

How long is it?
...the 30+ hours it takes to 100% (according to a couple playtesters)

Опять никаких точных дат, но хоть какая-то инфишка по игре. Ребята стараются изо всех сил стараясь получить стабильные 60fps и минимальные по времени загрузки уровней. Уже все выглядит и играется хорошо, но чуваки видать решили сделать все идеально на Сыче. Локализация будет на 10 языках!

Switch Update
Status report! Everyone here at Team Cherry HQ, including our buds from Shark Jump, has been working furiously on the Switch port. It’s all looking and playing great, but we’ve still got some stuff to iron out.

Performance: Our aim has always been minimal load times and a steady 60fps for Switch. Over the last month we’ve smoothed out the last couple of problem spots and we’re all locked in on this stuff now! Hollow Knight is looking great on that Switch screen!

Languages: As of Lifeblood, HK’s is now in 10 Languages! And for Switch release these have to be in great shape. Getting the localisations cleaned up, with all their unique alphabets and spacings, has been a big undertaking, though one that goes largely unseen by players. We’re close on this, and we’re using the Lifeblood beta to iron out any last issues.

Bugs: The game is more solid than ever, however there are still a few niggling crash bugs and other odd behaviours that need some special attention. This is the pointy end, and that short-list is constantly shrinking, but to be launch ready, we need to get it completely clear!

Release: Given the current status of the build, we’re not yet ready to give an update on release window. We know that can be frustrating to hear, but like we’ve said before, we don’t want to set a concrete target until we’re sure we can hit it, and the game is rock-solid. We’re close, but there are a lot of small bits to tie up and plenty of testing to do. We’ll keep working at it and we’ll keep everyone updated as we approach the big day!

That’s all for now! We’ve got plenty of work still to do so we’ll get back to it. We hope you enjoy revisiting Hallownest in the Lifeblood Update. If you’re waiting for the Switch release, then we hope you enjoy playing Celeste, Night in the Woods and all the other great indie games on the system until we get Hollow Knight out to you!

Еще готовится какой-то апдейтик Lifeblood:

As part of our work on porting Hollow Knight to Switch, we’ve made a lot of changes to the guts of the game and a lot of tweaks to things like game balance, sound, and visual effects. And in true TC style, we couldn’t resist adding a liiiittle bit of extra content too. Bundled all together, we’re now calling this the ‘Lifeblood Update.’

Today we’re doing a soft-launch of Lifeblood in public beta for PC players on Steam.

Lifeblood Update Features:
One boss has been seriously upgraded. A true challenge awaits!
A brand new boss with a new music track by Chris Larkin (sample below)!
Map Markers are here! Cartographers rejoice!
Extras added to the Extras menu!
Numerous game balances and tweaks (Heavy Blow is now good… just kidding)
Various bug fixes
Additional sound effects and voices
Optimisations and performance enhancements
