An area like Deepnest would never work in Silksong because the ENTIRE GAME IS ALREADY THAT DARK BY DEFAULT.

Deepnest is the area in Hollow Knight where you feel really claustrophobic because of how little you can see and yet, it looks the same as Silksong generic area x.

I'm not saying that Silksong is completely devoid of this, but so far I'm finding that a lot of my memory of it is "dark green rocky place" to "gray red rocky place" to "dark gray place with more jumping".

How many more places am I going to see which are covered with the same gray rocks?

Even in the darker areas or small tunnels you can very easily tell where you are in Hollow Knight. Every inch of the environment is oozing with texture and even without that, the color palette is distinctive.

Now look at these two Silksong screenshots. I kid you not, one of these is in Moss Grotto and the other one is in The Marrow (the first two areas of the game).

And yes, there was some amount of handpicking here, but that's the point -- Hollow Knight doesn't HAVE this problem.

Of COURSE I remember Greenpath because when you step out of the Forgotten Crossroads and into there, you get this tonal shift from blue to green -- combined with the shift from rock caverns and metal posts to pools of water and plants growing everywhere.

So guys...is it just me or is Silksong is just...dark everywhere?

Like, these screenshots are just the first 5 locations shown in the trailers of Hollow Knight vs Silksong.

...it's not just me, right?

You've gotta be kidding me, Unity.

Another year, another 12 pieces. I traced almost all of these this year, so the increase in quality is a little deceiving, but it's still enjoyable to make these nonetheless, and hopefully still educational.

Look I swear I'm not trying to just be an old angry spiteful person who says "the original was betterrrrrr [waves stick]".

It's just...I just can't....after looking at these screenshot comparisons, I just can't help but see how we've fallen hopelessly backwards in the guise of "progress"...
