Kickstarter Backer Content

So, if you take a look at Hollow Knight's kickstarter page

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/11662585/hollow-knight?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=hollow%20knight

There's a ton of wild rewards on the right side near the bottom. Design your own dungeon/boss? Make a non-dream character? Make an entire village? These rewards seem a pretty big impact on the game's flow and etc. I get the list of names in Resting Grounds, and I like the concept of make a dream character/boss, but other stuff seems too important to leave to a backer.

Although, some of the stretch goals not met were put in the game (Abyss, Colosseum). Were the crazy backer rewards not put in, or were they just put in REALLY well? I'd like to know what stuff is from backers, if theres a list or something.

As far as I know, the only two backer characters that were implemented into the game were Tiso and Cloth, and both were just side-characters that showed up for a few scenes and then left. (Heck, if it weren't for the fact that I looked them up online, I wouldn't even have known they were from backers.)

I don't remember hearing anything about backers having an effect on bosses/areas. Even if they did, Team Cherry obviously did a good job implementing their ideas into the game.

I'm pretty sure the planned antagonist for the Hornet DLC is a backer character.

The idea is that they worked together with the backers to bring backer ideas into the game. They didn't give all the reins to the backers to figure out alone. Plus, backers want the game to be good, so the chances are likely that they would be completely fine to allow Team Cherry to make adjustments where needed so it doesn't clash with the feel of the game.

Ok, so it makes sense why it all works so well. But what village (the biggest reward) is the backer one? You've got Dirtmouth, Distant Village, Mantis Village, and the Hive, if that counts.

i think i've heard something about snail village coming in a dlc or content pack....not sure if its true though.

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

The Abyss is in the game, its just not nearly as expansive as it would have been if that goal had been reached.
Playable Zote, Quirrel, and possibly other characters, were planned but the kickstarter goals were never reached. The only confirmed playable character is Hornet.

I believe that backer village has of yet to be added. Its a Snail Village, and believe its supposed to be somewhere around the Resting Grounds.
The Hive was originally going to be part of Deepnest, but when the Outskirts(Kingdom'sEdge) were added, the devs moved it there.
There were/are plans to add a quest/boss involving The Hive, but when/if this will happen I don't know.

with this hole thing about hornet second playable character who ended being a entire new game, im terrified if that third playable character which is Zote, ended up with a third game of team cherry, because imagine to wait more than we are waiting silksong.
God, i hope team cherry add everything in silksong, because it was delayed a lot.
