@christopherlarkin.bsky.social
is there any chance of Hollow Knight or Silksong concerts in the future?

The Wild at Heart is so good! I've been considering replaying it

I need to know what Bond was dressed up as!

Herdling is a beautiful adventure, from bustling urban streets to snow-capped mountains with fields of flowers bursting out here and there.

The pace is slow and gentle, but never without peril; After all, a shepherd must stay ever vigilant.

Yeah, Letters of Arralla looks great! I had some motion sickness issues with the demo, but I'm hoping there will be accessibility settings for it in the full release.

I love that 500k people are getting to share this experience for the first time, at the same time!
Shortly, I will be one of the nearly 400k who are still having fun in Pharloom!

That's probably the best position to be in. Now, once you finish Hollow Knight, you won't need to wait 8 years to play Silksong :D

So there was only one chapter of Quirrel?

Love to see an Australian timezone on a showcase!

Where will this be shown? I've seen a few posts about it, but no idea where to actually watch it.

I would say to avoid general gaming subreddits. The more niche you get, the better the response is. Though, that does depend on the genre of your game.
It's the same on other platforms too though. I am part of a gaming laptop channel and enthusiasts can be horrible people.

This is a great addition! And maybe now's a good time to mention I have a starter pack filled with cool combat free indies:

The figures are made by the lovely HamsterPancake.

She has some other awesome Hollow knight items, and I'd recommend checking out her Etsy store:

my mind went to Silksong too! But maybe that is too early. It would be cool to see Hornet as a security guard though!

I was a big Minesweeper person back in the 90s, so Nurikabe World is feeling super nostalgic, but also way less stressful.

Carve out islands around numbered tiles to blossom beautiful scenery.

Much more calm than an explosion! 🌸
