| 10 | + Text: '<b>The Second Major Update is Here! Featuring City of Tears (Left Side) and |
| 11 | + Crystal Peak!</b><br><br>This is the very beginning of a rather ambitious project |
| 12 | + that may never be finished. It has always surprised me that there was never a |
| 13 | + proper re-creation of Hollow Knight as a Celeste map, given the large overlap |
| 14 | + between the communities and the popularity of metroidvania-style Celeste maps. |
| 15 | + So this is my attempt to rectify that! I am a (former?) Hollow Knight speedrunner |
| 16 | + as well as a Celeste modded player and I want to bring my love for both games |
| 17 | + together!<br><br>This map is not attempting to be a one-to-one recreation, per |
| 18 | + se, and will instead try to really feel like its own Celeste-y spin on the Hollow |
| 19 | + Knight world. I am currently using 100% vanilla Celeste graphics (with the exception |
| 20 | + of entities from helpers) to hopefully distinguish the visual style (also because |
| 21 | + I suck at visual art). The map will also eschew some of the custom coded mechanics |
| 22 | + present in many Celeste "metroidvania" maps in favor of a more vanilla-feeling |
| 23 | + Celeste experience. But, of course, all of this might change as the project progresses. |
| 24 | + The target difficulty range for this map is beginner to low techless intermediate, |
| 25 | + with a few exceptions for hard optional challenges (if you know Hollow Knight |
| 26 | + you can probably guess which ones). I would like this to be accessible to anyone |
| 27 | + who has played both Celeste and Hollow Knight. I highly recommend playing Hollow |
| 28 | + Knight before playing this.<br><br>The map (version 0.3.0) currently features |
| 29 | + the following:<br><br><ul><li>Six Areas: Forgotten Crossroads, Greenpath, Fungal |
| 30 | + Wastes, Fog Canyon, City of Tears (left side) and Crystal Peak</li><li>Over 100 |
| 31 | + Gameplay Rooms</li><li>30 Red Berries, plus several Moon Berries that are currently |
| 32 | + not collectible with intended strats (some are possible with skips, some are completely |
| 33 | + impossible) (Also there''s a golden)</li><li>Music from Hollow Knight!</li><li>A |
| 34 | + temporary ending to the left of the top of the elevator from Dirtmouth to Crystal |
| 35 | + Peak (so don''t go there if you want to keep exploring for berries and such) (There |
| 36 | + really wasn''t any good place to put this lmao)</li><li>A semi-functional map! |
| 37 | + (Press your journal button to open, and turn on hints in the settings if you''re |
| 38 | + not familiar with Hollow Knight)</li></ul><br><br>I will also note some things |
| 39 | + that are currently lacking from the map, primarily due to my lack of knowledge |
| 40 | + of various modded entities (or just my lack of effort at the moment):<br><br><ul><li>I |
| 41 | + have implemented a map using Xaphan Helper, but it doesn''t quite work the way |
| 42 | + I want. I have been struggling with the fact that my rooms are not on-grid (and |
| 43 | + I do not intend to make them on-grid). Specifically if anyone knows of a way to |
| 44 | + explicitly define the bounds of a tile on the map, or force Madeline or berries |
| 45 | + to appear in specific tiles when in specific triggers, that would be ideal. </li><li |
| 46 | + class="SelectedElement">Speaking of Xaphan Helper, I know there are several features |
| 47 | + in it to keep various states across playthroughs on the same save file. I would |
| 48 | + love to implement this for basically everything in the map but can only find a |
| 49 | + couple things that can do this (namely, some very specific "Abilities" originally |
| 50 | + from Secret of Celeste Mountain and an option on a flag temple switch (which I |
| 51 | + currently haven''t enabled because it seems silly for levers to carry over but |
| 52 | + not like, your inventory). If anyone knows how this stuff works please let me |
| 53 | + know!</li><li>Deco needs a lot more work. There are minimal background tiles and |
| 54 | + decals currently because I don''t like doing deco and I wanted to just get this |
| 55 | + initial thing out into the world. I feel like I have some solid progress on stylegrounds |
| 56 | + but I also just do not know how to make smooth-looking transitions between stylegrounds |
| 57 | + when changing rooms.</li><li>This map has not gotten very much playtesting yet |
| 58 | + and there''s definitely a lot of normal mapping issues that need to be addressed! |
| 59 | + Thanks to Melodicat, Alexa, and Alex Knauth for playtesting and giving feedback!</li></ul>If |
| 60 | + anyone has answers to these questions, please either let me know in the comments |
| 61 | + here or dm me on discord (my username is also zonkmasterx there). Also, if you |
| 62 | + are interested in helping with this project in any way, feel free to reach out! |
| 63 | + I''d love to collaborate with some other Hollow Knight and Celeste fans on this! |
| 64 | + This is already my biggest Celeste mapping project yet, and it''s only like, 25% |
| 65 | + done at best lol. <br><br>' |
