2. When it comes to the next update. Try to plan it so it'll release in 6 to 9 months and if it looks like it might take longer. Break it up into smaller parts, so there's always something being released in a reasonable amount of time.

pistachio (the dev) wrote something about this some time ago:

I think I started this update with a wrong mindset as well. We had two quests in mind that we really liked and we went for then, without considering their complexity (I thought having fewer quests, i.e. 2 instead of our usual side-story's 3 would be sufficient in speeding things up)
In the future, if a story we really want to tell takes this long, we will break it up into multiple releases (that's what we will do, probably, with the next part of the main story)

I think magicnuts is in a bit of a losing situation with this release because of the time that has passed.
They're best chance of regaining a lot of the good will that they may have lost are:
1. Make sure the quality and length of the update are at a good standard when it does eventually release.
2. When it comes to the next update. Try to plan it so it'll release in 6 to 9 months and if it looks like it might take longer. Break it up into smaller parts, so there's always something being released in a reasonable amount of time.

A lot of people forget this is their first project, and it's perfectly natural for a new developer to make mistakes. And underestimating the time required to complete a project is one of the most common mistakes any new team makes. Hopefully they learn from this and return to releasing top notch content at a more regular pace.

While I agree that they are in a losing situation no matter what. They release it now, people are still upset. They wait until Christmas hell even 2025, people are mad. And if this is just like all the other updates in terms of content, people are pissed they waited so long.

Your last paragraph I completely disagree with. While yes this is the first game from them. It's not like they haven't had updates in the past that were the normal 6-8 months. There is zero reason why this update is taking 2 years. It's not like this is some complete overhaul of the game with a new engine, graphics etc, its just another standard update.

They really "working" on just one update or are gonna throw at us like, 3 or 4 updates at once? I know, is more like a fantasy that, but who knows? Hehe

The only thing they said is that is supposed to be "the biggest update so far". And for that to be true it only needs to be a little bigger than the previous "biggest" one but it could be big enough to have the same amount of content than other 2 previous updates or more, just wait and see to measure it for yourself.

When they said "biggest so far" weren't they explicitly talking about the amount of text? I remember seeing a discord screenshot where they said they measure the updates by text size rather than art.

It may be, if those numbers in the progress tracker mean anything then there is almost the double when it comes to "art" when compared to the previous update. Now may not mean anything specially if you don't consider them accurate/real.

why get your hopes up at all ? it has had the abandoned tag for ages now.

So, by the same rules that allow a game to be tagged as "abandoned" here, Hollow Knight: SilkSong would be tagged as that as well. Are asking me to not get my hopes up for game too? Well you can try but you will fail. Other than that I really don't care about when the next update is going to release since I didn't even played the previous one (yet).

I love coming back to this thread every so often and still seeing people are still full of energy to talk about their frustrations about the development process or try to defend the dev and their antics. I would say let it go, sometimes in life things dont turn out the way you like, find new games, better yet do other stuff. enjoy life. But i am not gonna say that because its just great banter here that i love to read. I bet not a lot of you actually waiting for an update, like me. Just good old shitting on someone that disappointed people. Respect
