BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

I finally pulled the trigger on Beastieball a week ago and it has been excellent so far
The gameplay itself is awesome but the best surprise is that the villian is the sports commissioner who cares more about entertainment than the sport itself
Truly a very Jake coded game
