God, silksong is such a tease. Every time I see it mentioned or see a clip I always get excited, only to end up puting on my clown shoes and nose :(

One day I’ll have you my sweet shaw, one day…

Well, in the case of Silksong specifically, an early announcement was all but inevitable, as it was originally a stretch goal that got turned into its own game. Even with their apparent preference towards minimal communication, they had to explain what’s happening if they didn’t want to appear like fraudsters.

Generally, I wouldn’t even be opposed to early announcements, as long as the devs were transparent about the status of the project and made it clear in which capacity the game is currently being worked on.

Guys I’m announcing a game that will be ready in the year 7165451849948654 for early access, with full release expected some time after the heat death of the universe if all goes to plan. So far I have like 6 lines of code that say “hello world” in 4 different ways (2 of them don’t work yet).

Pre order now. If you aren’t hyped yet are you even a gamer?
