The Mohrta demo on steam is significantly out of date and I don't really know what to do with it. I want to just disable it and then leave it up on Itchio, but I feel like removing it this close to launch might not be wise. I also don't want people's first impression being 'that', lol. I dunno...

I've been getting a lot of requests about adjusting Steam's regional pricing, which I've done so for both Brazil and Poland. If you are from a country where steam's default pricing is far too expensive, please let me know!

its both cool and a little scary how easily people pick up what Mohrta was inspired by. Morrowind, Made in Abyss, Vampire Hunter D... I just hope (and do think) that the game is distinctive enough to not be chained to "it's like X but Y" as it's pitch...

This morning my sweet, wonderful, big baby Norby crossed over the rainbow bridge. 10 years old, he was a blessing. He loved swimming, and wouldn't hurt a fly. He was the best dog a man could ask for, and we are so lucky to have had him. See you soon, sweet boy.

Has anyone here had experience trying to upload an artbook or small dlc through steamcmd/steampipe? We just want to upload a pdf of the Mohrta's Artbook as additional DLC, but it's needlessly complicated. Need help!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, I plan on grabbing a couple QOL/easier mods when i come back to the game

If I made a game that was too difficult, I would way rather people mod it and enjoy it rather than completely drop it or have a terrible time

threw in the towel, made it to act 2, played for another 2 hours and just said nah. I'll play it modded a few months from now when life is less stressful

You get to say the words “git gud” or “skill issue” 3 times but after that you go to jail

If a game is hard or has a reputation for being le epic challenge you are not allowed to criticize it or point out design flaws

its also just insane to me that 20 years ago they made the greatest game of all time and no one has even come close

I really do love hollow knight, but Nerrel does a fantastic job articulating why the game took me 6 years to actually start enjoying it- and the same criticisms being amplified now in silksong

It really is just a numbers issue across the board, and could easily be patched or modded. The world and combat is fantastic, it just needs to not be so needlessly brutal and stingy

its also really hard to hold on to any cash since it costs 50-80 rosaries to do anything, unlocking travel, benches, maps, etc. Half the enemies don't even drop money so you're incentivized to just run past them since they're so strong and tanky

silksong is pretty good but man its extremely overtuned and so unrewarding- the game is stretched too thin, even more than HK. Enemies have too much health and deal too much damage, while player upgrades are very sparse and very horizontal

why even have a health bar if everything does 2-3 masks of damage

2 hours into silksong, super good- sad there's work to do since i could play this all day

Hornet's move set has a higher skill floor than the knight, so it feels slightly awkward at first, but having just defeated the first "real boss", once you're decent it feels fantastic. Just great game feel
