NeedleArts

A Hollow Knight: Silksong mod, adds the ability to equip Needle Strikes from other crests.

Features

• Adds a new tool type NeedleArt (orange) and a slot to each crest with this type.

• Adds a new NeedleArt tool for each crest, equipping tool associated with crest will use that crest's Needle Strike instead.

Balancing / Progression

• The slot won't appear until Needle Strike is unlocked.

• To unlock a crest's Needle Strike/Art as a tool, you must unlock all tool slots on that crest. (Alternatively if you just want to play around with the mod there is a button in the mod menu to unlock Needle Strike and all NeedleArts tools.)

Future Plans

• Add custom Needle Arts

• Add custom crest focused around Needle Strike/Art (Equip multiple and use directional to use, similar to HK)

• Add custom tools to buff Needle Strike/Art

• Update Needle Art tool icons

Changelog

Dev Comments:

My original plan for this mod was to make it an addition that integrated into the normal progression of the game such as unlocking arts overtime, and eventually a custom crest focused around NeedleArts. I have decided to remove the unlocking system as it forced me to do some weird auto equips, that wasn't very intuitive to use. To make a fully custom crest is a decent amount of work, and I've realised I would never get it to polished state I would be happy with any time soon, so for now I will just let any crest use all 3 NeedleArt slots.
