I think all these mini cutscenes, like with dying, killing a boss, or using that corvian ability are realy cool, and im glad the devs are leaning into the more detailed handdrawn art, even in the real game, we dont have anything really like those cutscenes much in any other game, so im realy exited to see everything the game has to offer later!

I think cutscenes are usually avoided because no one wants to see the same super attacks animation plonk your screen for the hundredth time. I feel like some quick cool looking visual would be neat instead.
we have a release window, December 2023, but that was announced before they smashed through their Kickstarter. They said they were still sticking with it though, but I (baselessly) estimate that they might have a few months of delay with so many things they need to add to the game with so many stretch goals reached.
I am so glad that I decided to be a backer on this game. Supporting something like this and seeing the progress is just pure enjoyment. Thank you guys and keep up the good work!
They said it themselves, huge inspiration from hollowknight and devil may cry. Its so cool to see the effect hollow knight has had on indie games already
You can really see that they were hugely inspired by Hollow Knight and i dont mean that in a bad way HK is a great game and so will be this one, im really really excited
I was excited when the Kickstarter started on my birthday. Sadly I wasn't able to donate, but it's nice to have a update on the same day. Kinda feels like a bday present.
@@ironwraith852 yep, charms are an example of equippable upgrades, and it's so sick that they're going with limbs instead of some trinkets, that's so stylized!

Just finished playing the demo, and it was epic. You all are doing a wonderful job so far at developing. I'm excited to see all the interesting, different things that will be in the game. Thanks for being in constant communication with your fans! Y'all got this!
Love this! Great job on the trailer. Can't wait for someone like Mossbag or Rusty to disect this to pieces. Oh and... I posted screenshots in the reddit from some of the items shown!
This game looks so fun! I would definitely try it out when it comes out. The combat system looks absolutely amazing, and I love Metroidvanias with good combat systems. Firstly, a lore theory: You are a dead guy who somehow got revived. That would explain the Grafting system: After all, if you are dead, you can probably replace your limbs relatively easily. Also, at 0:13, there are so many dead bodies around him on the same poles that he is on, so I don't see why he wouldn't be dead as well. Edit: I just wanted to add to my lore theory that face coverings seem to protect from some kind of plague. If you look at the earlier trailers, all the sentient people (NPCs, protagonist, etc) have face coverings, and all the zombie-like monsters (in the first intro scene for the first trailer) have no face covering. There is probably a zombie-apocalypse thing going on right now. Now, onto the game mechanics! I'm going to pick out all the details I can find. It's fun guessing how a game works before it comes out, as I have learned from Silksong XD Healing seems to be very quick, kind of like in Silksong. You can see that at 1:10. Also, you can see all three attacks (Scythe, Pistols and Corvian Magic) in this trailer. Let's look at Scythes first. At 0:34: if you put it on 0.25 speed, you can see that you move forwards slightly when you use a Scythe swing. Kind of reminds me of Mortis from Brawl Stars (yuck a mobile game am I right?). I'm interested to see how this would affect combat. You don't move that much though. Also, at 0:43, the character downswings and does something like Pogoing from Hollow Knight. Finally, I noticed that at 1:06, a boss throws his Scythe at you. At 1:08 you do the same thing to an enemy. Does this mean that you'll be able to learn skills? And then there is the Pistol. Firstly, the ammo bar is missing in many of these clips, which means that you'll be able to unlock guns at some point. There isn't much to talk about here, other than the fact that you can shoot a "power shot" once in a while, but it requires you to stop moving and shooting for a bit. Thirdly, there is Corvian Magic. You seem to have 9 segments of "mana". You can see that there is a ultimate attack at 0:55, and it uses up all of your "mana". I would guess that this ultimate attack is doable for a short while after your Mana bar fills up, and then you won't be able to do it. At 1:08, you can see that the "burning red" part of the Mana bar fades with time, and you probably need some "red mana" to use a ultimate attack. There also seems to be a attack similar to Descending Dark from Hollow Knight that costs three segments of "mana" which is used at 0:58. What's interesting about this is the fact that your mana bar is locked in many of these clips. This means that for a while you would not be able to use any Corvian Magic. Finally, I would just like to note that the "Cowboy" boss at 1:06 seems to share many abilities with the playable character. He has a Scythe throw, and used Corvian Magic at 1:12 as well. Not to mention the similar choice of clothing: both wears hats, gloves and cloaks. My guess is that they are similar in nature in one way or another. Maybe kind of like the Broken Vessel / Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight? I would guess that the final scene is from the Cowboy's perspective, but I have no real evidence.
Guys, Team cherry literally helped to fund this game on kickstarter. Why do you feel the need to be upset about this game "copying" Hollow knight when not even the creators of hollow knight itself are upset about it?
That is cool af. My only hope that whenever the release is, it's not coenciding with Silksong. This, I believe, deserves to have it's own time and spot to shine.
