Kudos to Team Cherry for inventing drawing. It's unfortunate that so many are copying them though.

[@betea1742]

I think the first people to copy Team Cherry were those dumb cave men and people have been doing it since! Will Team Cherry ever get a break? ):

[@yonghong4832]

I really love the taste of the cherry fruit. unfortunately, i have to stop supporting them as they are copying the name of team cherry. smh my head

[@messydesk_animation_studios]

I know, right? So frustrating how no one is giving credit to them when they use a pencil or pen.

[@AleksanderNevskij47]

Your irony doesn't hit the well.

[@migtoo]

Everything is a clone of everything nowadays.

[@Pogobro]

Sadly true, especially indie games

[@ponyololxd]

this really isn't a recent trend tho. it has been like that pretty much since video games have became a thing. first person shooters used to be widely referred to as "doom clones" and any game with a dedicated dodge button or a corpse run mechanic released in the past 10 years was inevitably called a "soulslike".

[@apkhbmbgamlkbh1531]

i think im a clone of my dad

[@ZacharyJones-xs1un]

@@ponyololxd true but souls like has now become a genre to show. Somethings similar to the dark souls games. Now there are some people who will attempt to use this a term of threatening the developers. And also there is another game called enchanted portals that has also been called a Cuphead clone. It hasn’t been able to shake the stigma and because it has Native Americans riding buffalo it has now been called racist great this kind of thing is getting annoying at this point I am if there are still some people trying to say that currently and respectfully inform them that the developers have stated that offending people was not their intention, and that they have changed it to wild west people riding a buffalo with guns the wild west chickens have guns not the buffalo, so yes, I feel like enchanted portals has had just the same amount of pain that this game went through and here’s another thing they got in common. They eventually were accepted, but as for enchanted portals. It was promptly no longer accepted and then got accepted again. So yes while the clone calling thing is frustrating. You have to admit sometimes calling a game a clone could be used as constructive criticism. Thanks saying your game looks too similar to one another and one. Maybe you should focus and hone your own art style see that’s how calling a game a clone can be used as constructive criticism. These people do not mean as constructive criticism, but maybe you could convince them to you’ll never know.

[@farresalt4381]

?-define "clone" Pretty sure all inventions are cloned from a bunch of other stuff and/or ideas and reassembled into a new thing. So yeah, am not sure it's just "nowadays".

Bo looks so damn good. I love combat, but freedom of movement is the real champ for me.

@@galacticpotato833 thank you! We are almost done! Your support means so much. We won't let you down!

[@ponyololxd]

the game doesn't look half bad and i know this is very loosely based on actual japanese folklore with the inspirations being anime and all, but i really hope the creators take a second look at those location names lol. names like "sakura city" and "midori forest" give off a very gimmicky and inauthentic vibe, it's like if a japanese studio made a game based in a world resembling america and called their locations stuff like "hamburger city" or "cave of liberty" or smth.

[@betea1742]

I like to see it as Hollow Knight has inspired a new genre of metrovania's (The Pogo Genre?). It makes me happy to see more indie games like this!

[@averagecarbatteryconsumer]

Pogotroid? Pogovania perhaps?

[@silkyspider4239]

Never heard of this game, but now I'm extremely exited about it! thank for making this video man, keep up the great work!

thanks, and yeah Bo looks so fun

Damn, this and Crowsworn has been at the top of my anticipated MVs for a while. Nice to hear good news.

[@ayjj8223]

So glad I backed this game, I've been extremely satisfied and excited from every update, especially ost reveals

[@extra_ram_noodles]

People should be happy about all the Hollow Knight inspired titles, It means that HK has resonance, And the ripples of that are starting to show through the indie industry. But since they aren't, How about i tell them about my favorite Hollow clone, Guacamelee! and Guacamelee! 2!

[@nathanw8622]

When you go check out a potential game to support but then you notice that it has hand drawn sprites rendered in a 3D environment (apparently that means it's a hollow knight clone)

[@Adolin.Kholin.]

Wow happy to know Milton Guasti is working on this game, He is a true genius if with talk about level design.

[@Pogobro]

yeah I loved the levels in ori 2

[@failedvessel]

As someone who is about to make a metroidvania, getting compared with HK seems like a blessing for me. But calling things "clones" is simply reductive

[@Irish_Enderman]

I hate when people call a game a clone of another when it's the same genre of that other one Like metroidvanias being called HK clones or platform fighters being called smash bros clones

[@Swagpion]

There are less platform fighters out there, and most control very similarly to Smash Bros.

[@Irish_Enderman]

@@Swagpion there are great examples of games that get called "smash clones" such as Rivals of Aether (which I actually prefer to smash) or multiversus, which I hate lol

[@Swagpion]

@@Irish_Enderman if Multiverses didn't have a canon Ultra-Instinct Shaggy, I don't think anybody would have cared

[@Irish_Enderman]

[@Luluskuy]

Not only that! Now every action rpg is considered zelda copy by them!

[@NicTheThicc]

As a developer of a hand-drawn metroidvania, this is very relatable. Bo is looking absolutely amazing and I'm sure that it will be an incredible experience.

[@shonmacklin9613]

I am hand drawing a metroidvania as well. But mine looks like The Last Faith and Blasphemous. I think the biggest reason for people comparing to Hollow Knight is the coat with arms covered and the quick slashes. It's warranted at this point but from a visual perspective I dont see Hollow Knight when looking at the game

[@TonyIsTheMan]

Looks fun can’t wait to play it

[@Pogobro]

hey tony! thanks!

[@opheliacbm1569]

Already got my hands on Nine Sols and played the demo on Bo, can't wait to get this one as well!

[@adiveler]

Honestly, after watching their latest trailer, I've got more Ori vibe than HK. Did those HK's accusers even bother to watch any trailer at all? Or all the "RIP-OFF" shouts are from screenshots alone?

[@blueboytube]

I think it’s the character animation and the cape of the character but yeah it’s still something different

[@Miss_Skooter]

Thank you random youtuber the algorithm just brought me to, this game looks amazing and I can't wait for its release!

[@xp7_________________69]

the ending of the video is truly a representation of insanity, silksong, a game that will probably never release unless if by some miracle it actually does.

[@indiewithme]

7 more hours until the release of Bo ❤❤

[@jumi6051]

The thing is even when it comes to games like crowsworn, that has a way more similar style to HK, I am pretty confident, that Team Cherry weren't the first to use this exact style. I wouldn't even go that far and say people get inspired by HKs style in particular, but rather see that it was a huge success and therefore is something people probably want.

[@gkattozz]

seems like the bosses in this game will be yokai from what we have seen

[@icariusinius8239]

so that is where marlineanimates had been hiding

[@serialexperimentslain]

the title of this video is part of the problem, also id recommend giving more context about the metroidvania genere and larger inspirations. this video gives off "person who has only played hollow knight/ori" energy when making comparisons, not understanding what inspired hollow knight or others.

[@Pogobro]

thats fair, I guess I assumed people who saw this would have seen the crowsworn video, but thanks for the feedback! will keep it in mind for the next one!

[@harshkumar1280]

I want to see games bring fluid platforming into boss fights. While ori wotw's bosses were good, they definitely could've been better.

9 souls and Bo looks very similar a special the protagonists, so much so i thought they are the same game

[@kukukachu]

AY YO! Future Fragments!

[@joosepher9435]

You gotta make a video on enchanted portals, their kickstarter got done dirty because people are stupid.

[@mechamechs]

The characters, backrounds and effects pop out at exactly the same level. Holoknight had a clear distinction of what was the background and the foreground, clear outlines for the characters and a blurry/glowy effect for all projectiles. In Bo's case I can see why some people are calling it ugly. It is very visually busy. Some simple brightness and blur changes would help the game be a lot more clean.

[@sinom]

Pleeeeeease actually put the steam links of all of those games in the description searching for some of them to wishlist is difficult aince they don't show up immediately

[@charr420]

y are ppl so mad about hollow knight "clones" anyway, it's more hollow knight type gameplay

[@mehrshadmehranfard755]

At this point, I believe Silksong is a fictional concept, sth ideal & beautiful to give us hope to go on & keep innovating & trying; Just like what Vinland was to the Vikings & Norse people. It is... a beautiful dream

[@aftershokke]

Its true, Vinland Saga actually made me a better person irl

[@ssneakyandfriends1626]

once i by a new computer I'm gonna make a Starveio, Don't Starve (+together), And FNAF inspired Videogame. why I'm talking about it here is that i want to implement a perk system akin to Hallow Knight's charm system. i'm even questioning whether or not to have a overload mechanic (would probably be long the lines of: you take __% more damage, Hunger thirst and sleep drain __% faster, the main bad guy moves towards you __% faster, and x2 score :D [which can be a double edged sword, considering the main guy moves towards #1 constantly when it's dark].)

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

Giving a peek of the general world design is good for backers (who function like shareholders) but I think players would actually prefer to have no scope of how big the game is when they played it. Shouldntve really showed it in the video but it's like 5 seconds so who cares lol

Why is a Clone so bad anyways?, like if someone made Hollow Knight but with different Charms, Areas, Art, Bosses, Story, Whatever and it was as high quality, I would buy it. You have to innovate at least a little bit, but I love Hollow Knight. So even if games like Crowsworn come out and they have like all the base Mechanics the same, I'd still love the shit out of them.
