I just realized Silksong has only been in production for 6 years.

I just realized through another post it's only been 6 years since production started. I had thought silksong started production in 2015. While 6 is a long time still, for me it is understandable as team cherry is just a team of 3 or 4? Looking back hollow Knight took 4 years to make, and this was probably working many days overtime with high stress on a small budget. Now if they worked on a normal schedule hollow Knight probably should have taken 5 years to develop. if we assume it took them 1.5 year to figure out how to work with the engine then the content development took around 3.5 years.

Now silksong we have confirmation that it is much bigger than hollow Knight, and has much more in-depth game systems. So assuming just double the size of Hollow knight content wise dev time would be around 7 years on a normal working schedule.

Iwould only start worrying once we enter year 8.
