First: The physics of the Knight dying in Hollow Knight is a little funky. Preface: the knight is an insect, and also a being made with a holy shell and void-born insides of near perfect emptiness.
When the Knight dies, its shell splits open and a "shade" is released. Basically it's a black ghost that floats until the player respawns, comes back and finds it again, and then they fight, and if the Knight wins it gets to be whole again. (In-game, it means you lose your money and your max capacity for the game's "mana" is reduced unless you kill it.) It will not be able to be whole if it does not defeat the shade, though it's thankfully generally weaker than the Knight. It's referred to as "a fragment of a will" and "a regret," which the Knight resolves by having it meet a brutal end by its blade.
Just wondering how that would play into the death physics of this game; I assume the Knight wouldn't return until the given 24 hours, obviously, but I'm wondering if the animate shade would count as the "corpse" that eventually disappears? And if the Knight will be whole upon resurrection?
Second: I am considering apping and I have some extensive questions regarding the Knight's inventory and equipment to clear up before I enter the game proper if I do, basically a bunch of nerf negotiations and other specific discussions and stuff. I assume this would be the channel for that? (Is it rude to ask all those very long questions here before I even write anything for an app or a TDM?)
Third: With the medallion system seeming to rely on names and vocals, how would that work with a character who does not really have a name and cannot speak, therefore being unable to give itself one?
