Creating a Hollow Knight demake (a devlog)

I’m adding a new mode called Glass Knight (name still not decided on)! It is only for experienced players, as it gives you one health. But for some reason, you can still heal to two health, but not more, but it still acts as one health.

What’s the best name for this?

  • Glass Knight
  • Fragile Knight
  • Fragile Mode
  • Infected Knight
  • Infected Mode
  • Other (reply with idea)

btw, Infected Mode fits best with Hollow Knight’s theme and lore.

copper soul mode trust

I made a decent hornet sprite since I saw nothing about hornet being made yet, though it likely needs some improvements

Isn’t letting me edit the post again for some reason but I made some small changes to it and it looks a bit better

@DimonSw0rd11, thanks for the Hornet sprite, though it did need some improvements, as you said, to fit the size and to look more accurate.

This is the finished Hornet sprite, I admit, I had to change a color for it (and it still doesn’t look exactly right).

I really love this, it’s a great game and

coming from @Octodemon is a very good sign!

Now looking in the code again I saw 2 purples that look nearly identical, you could probably switch one of them out with another color or make one brighter/darker to not waste part of the color palette.

Yeah, I got rid of both of them (I really need to add one back in)

Alright, I’m just gonna release V. 0.9 because I don’t want to work on the benches right now.

Now there are PC controls that are as follows:

Jump: Z (swap to up arrow in pause menu)

Attack: X

Heal: A

Select (in menu): Enter

Will mobile support be added in the future?

Possibly, however Hollow Knight was just a little bit too many controls, so I don’t really know how that would work, still something I might try.

You can try on screen buttons with browser events (mobile can still left click) or put multiple controls in one button, like dashing with A but only when mid air. I can help with mobile support if you need it

On screen buttons…

That’s actually brilliant, though I’ve never seen it with Makecode before, so I never would’ve thought of it!

Well, I should implement that in 1.0 instead of benches! (I’m just avoiding benches right now) It’ll be an option in the, well, options menu, so I’ll move the selecting to B (still will work as enter on PC).
