Hollow KnightвЂ™s protagonist вЂ“ a silent, nameless, genderless, beknighted insect вЂ“ was conceived during Ludum Dare, one of the worldвЂ™s longest running jams. Countless indie teams have been forged in the feverish days of creativity a jam entails вЂ“ Team Cherry is no different. Pellen and Gibson met 15 years ago through mutual friends, but didnвЂ™t start working together until shortly before Hollow KnightвЂ™s development, when they began entering game jams together. (Well, two game jams, to be precise.)ДЄri Gibson (left) and William Pellen (right) The Pale Knight Rises In just its first two weeks on Switch, Hollow Knight sold more than 250,000 copies, adding Team Cherry to the growing list of indie developers finding success on NintendoвЂ™s handheld a marketplace not yet flooded like Steam or the App Store.ДЄnd it all began with a game jam. Hollow KnightвЂ™s PC, Mac, and Linux release passed the 1 million units sold threshold the day before the Switch launch вЂ“ a milestone that took 15 months to reach. вЂњThe game is built upon our love of classic Nintendo games, so this is the peak of a 30-year cycle: growing up playing them, gaining enough skills to create our own homage to those games, and releasing it on the same platform that inspired us in the first place.вЂќ вЂњBut mainly it was amazing.вЂќДЄri Gibson, Hollow KnightвЂ™s art supervisor, co-director, and the other half of Team CherryвЂ™s beating heart adds that seeing Hollow Knight on the Switch is still вЂњsurrealвЂќ for them. вЂњIt was amazing! Kinda scary, too, because it was our launch day and we were all the way in Los Angeles, so far from our office,вЂќ Pellen says. The Reggie heвЂ™s referring to is, of course, Mr.В Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, who, at E3 2018, took valuable moments out of the companyвЂ™s presentation to help sell the dream of a tiny Adelaide-based indie developer. ThatвЂ™s William Pellen, Hollow KnightвЂ™s game designer, co-director of the studio, and half of Team CherryвЂ™s creative core. вЂњI was spying on Hollow KnightвЂ™s Discord to watch the communityвЂ™s real-time reactions, and when I saw someone type in, вЂReggie said the words Hollow Knight, I canвЂ™t believe it!вЂ™ I burst out laughing. Team Cherry has more than a little in common with Hollow Knight вЂ“ a game that propelled its creators from obscurity, to moderate Kickstarter success, to glowing reviews, to the top of the Nintendo Switch charts in a whirlwind few years. The score echoes the majesty and sadness of a civilization brought to ruin.A diminutive, seemingly unremarkable champion answers the call to adventure, delving into the unknown, travelling further with each skill acquired, with each battle conquered.
