Coding a replay mod in C# for Silksong (also Widow at 1.5x speed for some reason)

Briefing

Freya Holmér is working on Silkstream, a replay mod for Silksong that serves as a speedrunning tool. This mod enables players to record their gameplay and replay it as a ghost, providing a unique way to practice and compete against themselves. By leveraging Bepinex and Harmony for code injection, the mod integrates seamlessly into the game, showcasing the flexibility of C# in mod development.

Developers should take note of this approach, as it highlights the potential for creating tools that enhance gameplay experiences. The ability to record and replay gameplay can lead to new strategies in speedrunning and a deeper understanding of game mechanics. This mod not only serves a niche audience but also demonstrates the growing modding community around Silksong.
