thinking about how the concept of "doing everything you can to save your best friend even if you have to risk your life and kill your way through it" was the very bare bones idea for hollow knight and auuugh AUUGHHHHHHHHH

Interesting

Hungry Knight & Characterizing Ghost

Y’know, it’s interesting, as far into Hollow Knight as I am, and having been aware of Hungry Knight for some time, I haven’t checked it out before very recently. Upon rectifying that, there’s really something interesting in how much of the game is recognizable from this bare bones, two-minute little thing. Obviously there’s a grandiosity and complexity of story that Hollow Knight possesses that Hungry Knight simply couldn’t be of the scale of, but as a sort of primal eggshell the rest of the game hatched out of, it’s very interesting.

The three guardians that are hunted in Hungry Knight are simply boss enemies; they are not given backstory, and hunting them is basically an unambiguously good action. It’s interesting how this progressed to the execution of the Dreamers in Hollow Knight- but what I find illuminating about the Hungry Knight’s journey to its ‘proper’ game sequel is that at its most bare bones, Hungry Knight is a story about Ghost- our Ghost, as we recognize them- who is hailed by Mister Mushroom as the same being, even though he’s sort of breaking the fourth wall to do so and thus Hungry Knight is not in-universe canonical to Ghost’s history- hunting three beings, in order to save the life of a being like themselves.

With many of the major beats of Hollow Knight following an extended, more elaborate imagining of Hungry Knight’s simplistic two-minute plot, I think this characterizes Ghost’s perspective and motives for returning to the kingdom interestingly. 

Another related area of interest to me is that Ghost is very finished compared to everything else in this game that received intense reimagining. Their mainstays remain nail attacks and dashing; the hunger system is a clear predecessor of soul- in essence, Ghost as they are in HK does “hunger” and need to “feed” themselves- it’s just that the timing of such is dependent on the damage they take, rather than time.

However- Ghost also, in Hungry Knight, talks. Not to any NPCs in the game world, because they have no one to speak to- but directly to the player.

It's nice that you were able to help your friend. So you're not hungry any more? Yes, that was quite the appetite. I was impressed. Still, we all move on sooner or later...

more concepts for my mega crossover mr mushroom monologues comic!! the first part will feature hungry knight - the original ludum dare version done by team cherry, often called the precurser or prequel to hollow knight!

ive got some new headcanon for the player character backstory now, after playing hungry knight myself (surprisingly fun! i had way more fun than i expected). also, the crossover comic now has a name: Mr Mushroom Readjusts: crossover comic. tags have been adjusted accordingly

for those more curious about my comic,

the idea is that mr mushroom, a character from hollow knight, is talking to people from other universes. its more or less canon anyway - the first lines of dialogue shown here are a plain callback to hungry knight

i however am also taking it a step further - the comic im making will show mr mushroom interacting with protagonists from other indie games. im not claiming that the mr mushroom dialogue are referencing these games though, some of these games came out AFTER hollow knight after all. its just cool to see how i can tie in other games to esoteric dialogue from an obscure character.

the next pieces of dialogue will reference a certain cabin from a land that knows cards,,,
