I’m VERY excited for what the modding community is cooking up
Title. Obviously, there are a bunch of mods for Hollow Knight, really cool ones like the debug mod and the Pale Court. But with the way Hornet plays compared to the Knight, there’s a lot more opportunities for modding.
For example, Crests and Tools. In Hollow Knight, you only had your basic nail swings to play with. The only avenue for modding new content in, really, was Charms, and they only added passive abilities.
But with Hornet, there are systems in place that allow for new ways to fight, Crests. I could easily see a talented modder make new one, cool stuff like “Crest of the Citadel,” or “Crest of the Coral,” or maybe even meme ones like “Crest of the Savage Beastfly, or “Crest of the Skong.”
Same prospect with Tools and Silk Skills; in Hollow Knight, once you unlocked spells, you just had them, and there were no ways to change them, except for the Shade upgrades and like one charm (Flukenest). Silksong has Tools and Silk Skills however, and they are changeable. Maybe give Hornet some of Trobbio’s bombs or Seth’s shield
