more thoughts:
* R&D can be scary but you get to try new things rather than status quo
* no shame in not knowing things but DO be excited to learn
* small team + deeply embedded on dev (1team1dream)
* not remote (sorry - it's important for career mentorship + strategic alignment)

For 2.0 - we're going back to our competitive roots, with you.

We're being real about our struggles, refocusing on combat mastery, and doubling down on community collaboration. New hunter, new modes, better systems, and we want your feedback every step of the way.

Hello Team Cherry
I would like to apply for the position of designing boss fights for the pantheon in silksong

[chris tom @PWYFF]

Could change my opinion as I go, but with the game's explicit focus on movement, a lot of decisions (more 2 damage instances, longer boss runs, power progression, bullet hell fights, etc) make sense to me.

Also: love the new tools/masks/pins system. And the COGWORK DANCERS!!!!!!

[chris tom @PWYFF]

Bit into A2, seeing all the talk about unfairness - idk, feels like Team Cherry just wanted Silksong to be a tighter, more deliberate experience without as much reliance on endless powerups. Not saying it's perfectly paced, but I think it's an excellent foil to Hollow Knight.
