Hollow Knight: Forgotten Crossroads - In Scratch - Release Trailer

I'm excited to announce that a game I've been working on for almost a year is here! It's been a sort of challenge I've set myself: to recreate Hollow Knight in Scratch (at least the first area) as accurately as possible. Please check it out if you get the chance! I don't want to make it seem like I'm claiming Hollow Knight as my own creation; in fact quite the opposite is true. I highly highly recommend playing this game, especially if you like metroidvanias.
Update: I've extended the game to include shops and Greenpath!
The game: scratch.mit.ed...

bro made this masterpiece in 1 year, impossible

[@Tubeytime]

I love when people are so inspired by a work of art that it makes them want to pursue goals in the same field.

[@cindersnows]

oh my gosh this looks so cool!!! kudos to you for being able to code this in scratch, and i love the pixelated walls and floors!!!

[@FindingPepper]

Thank you! I'm glad you like my art for the ground; it was a lot easier than using the game assets do to the way they are formatted. Although now I've switched to using the art from the game.

[@MaximusXY]

no way! This is insane! Good job, it looks really awsome. Hollow knight is definitely one of the best games Ive ever played.

[@FindingPepper]

I agree, Hollow Knight is a masterpiece. I can't wait for Silksong!

@@FindingPepper what is the scratch project called?

[@FindingPepper]

@@MrSaimAhmed519 Its called Hollow Knight in Scratch. There's a link to it in the description.

[@Cosmic.Entity]

The fact that this was made IN SCRATCH is amazing! Good job :D

[@Mikalinium]

I can explained this in one three words: Awesome, Epic, Mind-Blowing

[@ceruloryx]

wow, this is so impressive! great work :D

[@FindingPepper]

Thank you!

[@earththeearth]

Ngl this looks so cool especially for scratch! The only thing I'm worried about is that something like this would be impossible to run lol

[@FindingPepper]

Do you mean that it would be laggy? Because while it can be a bit laggy at some points it actually runs pretty smoothly at least for me.

[@IDK-df4cw]

Congrats to you! This is awesome! CANT WAIT TO PLAY IT!!!!!!

[@outofstockfish73]

This looks incredible, one of the best creations on scratch!

[@reglan_dev]

Ngl, thats super well done! I love it!

[@mrblakeboy1420]

you are our best bet at getting silksong in the next 15 years

[@misterdot6923]

[@NullPxl]

So impressive!

[@RonicTheEgg]

[@monkey_crystal6254]

[@FindingPepper]

Thank you!

[@HollowPurple07]

[@orangetree.]

[@BuzzyBot127]

[@TheWorstestPro]

Christ this is underrated

[@vishnurameswaran6724]

damn it looks so good

[@fruit2939]

nice

[@yoandimitrov8389]

Impressive!

[@joescraft123]

I was planning to make something similair to this but with the assets from the game

[@FindingPepper]

Cool! All the of this project's assets are actually from the game except for the ground and platforms.

[@joescraft123]

@FindingPepper quick question: where did you find the assets?

[@FindingPepper]

Sorry, didn't see this until just now. There exists a google drive folder of all the Hollow Knight assets. You can find it on this reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/6m4kok/spoilers_game_sprite_sheets_and_textures/ For more organized sheets, you can find some here: www.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/hollowknight/

[@Frankifier3000]

Definitely gonna play it at school

[@EliteEditzz]

when this releases on scratch im playing it in school

[@zegiraffes]

This is really cool with skills like this I bet you could also make your own game by taking inspiration from hollow knight.

[@FindingPepper]

Thank you! I hope to do just that in the future!

[@zegiraffes]

@FindingPepper Very excited to see what will become of this, good luck 💪

[@IamSamisMe]

Impressive, not gonna lie.

[@CommunistCheesus]

People will do literally anything until silksong comes out

[@glitch504sans9]

Nice

[@Seeker201]

Wow

[@orangetree.]

dam this is good

[@suleymanrecords2897]

wow a great project but, one question. how the HECK do you get a sword animation like THAT it looks amazing btw and I am working on a game like hollow knight and I dont know how to make the sword animation

[@FindingPepper]

Thanks! I used the game assets, which you can find here: www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/6m4kok/spoilers_game_sprite_sheets_and_textures/ The sword animation is in the player spritesheet. You could probably base your sword animation on Hollow Knight's.

[@richu7734]

In scratch? Even Turbowrap takes couple of mins to load 100% real

[@og.K7]

Insane lol, great job

[@LawreAnimations]

Wait how the hell did you do this lol I mean, how could you fit the whole map inside the editor?..

[@FindingPepper]

Each room is completely separate, connected only by the loading zones which essentially teleport you. Each room is made up of tiles, which are stored in a list, and can be built tile by tile in a custom-made editor within the Scratch project. It uses the system from this tutorial by Griffpatch as a base; you should check it out if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2QfYtvab9necU

[@orangetree.]

cool

[@Barlindsky27]

Yea, do it

[@rexgordan4029]

Are you going to finish the rest of the game?

[@FindingPepper]

No, that would take years and years and I'd rather make a game of my own sometime. I will update this at least a little bit though.

[@Hotdogamer1369]

Its hollow knight but in a hungry knight art style

[@orangetree.]

i played the game and when i pressed j it did nothing

[@thisIsAjokeParodyOfHelluvaboss]

can i help the develepment i know how to code in that platform

[@FindingPepper]

The stuff I'm doing is super complicated, and its also just difficult to work with other people over the internet.

[@thisIsAjokeParodyOfHelluvaboss]

we take turns remixing it and updateing it adding content @@FindingPepper

Hold m to veiw lmfao good job tho

[@Ender2330-i6e]

WTF THIS GAME SUCKS I CAN'T EVEN PLAY IT JUST GIVE ME A RECTANGLE AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE KNIGHT, ALL THE INSECT ARE ALL RECTANGLE AND I CANT MOVE WITH ARROWS.GET BETTER MY GUY

[@Ender2330-i6e]

i know i am toxic but it is true...sry

[@FindingPepper]

The project is very big so it's possible your computer can't load all the assets. Try using turbowarp to load it. There's a turbowarp link in the project accompanied by clear text which I imagine would be rather difficult to miss. Also this comment and your others are a bit overkill; one polite non-all-caps comment would do just fine in this situation.
