I messaged @gameovergreggy.bsky.social and asked if he had time in 2026 to have a quick chat for my Substack. Six days later we were dialed in, catching up, talking about cancer survival, making fans, and being dads. That's the kinda guy he is. Enjoy! horriblethings.substack.com/p/interview-...

Team Cherry told me that Hollow Knight has sold 15 million copies, making it one of the biggest indie games of all time.

What's really wild is that in February 2019, when Silksong was announced, Hollow Knight had only sold 2.8 million copies.

The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme
