"We're grateful to our long-time collaborators at BlitWorks and Confetti for their efforts bringing over Bastion and Transistor, respectively."

#

BlitWorks = ❣

#

They do fantastic indie ports.

fickle maple
#

Yeah, both teams have worked with us on Bastion and Transistor before. If you played Bastion on the PS4, we worked with them there. If you played Transistor on the AppStore or Pyre on PS4, we worked with Confetti there 😃

gray gulch
#

Lovely

#

Can you say if Transistor will support touch controls or have any touch input on Switch?

fickle maple
#

Transistor uses gamepad controls on the Switch. We felt like that was the best match for the Switch.

Thanks

#

Transistor is a great excuse to buy 2 Gree Joy-Cons btw

Why would red be a terrible fighting game character?

#

All her attacks would only deal chip damage

Hang it up on your wall!

smoky zealot
#

I didn’t notice until now but in transistor if you keep pressing an attack to overkill an enemy it’ll say next to the damage/health numbers “(Do you even read)”

bright hearth
#

if you keep going it'll say "You are mean"

smoky zealot

Haha that’s pretty good. I love the little messages

smoky zealot
#

Good stuff 😤😤 so good

bright hearth
#

hey!!!!!!!

#

i have that last one as a charm!!!

north willow
#

Same! I bought two from Zetallis when she had a deal going for her charms, did a giveaway for the other

bright hearth
#

i actually won mine from a giveaway

north willow
#

squints

#

You've got roughly the same user

#

I used to run sybilofthecamerata

#

This was for the 2016 anniversary chat

bright hearth
#

oh myyyyy goooood

cedar grove
#

lmao what a coincidence

north willow
#

Fancy meeting you here!!

bright hearth
#

hell yeah

#

i still have the note and charm hanging on my wall

#

i dont really have anything to put it on though

north willow
#

I'm glad you liked the charm, and that it went to a good home!

#

I didn't either lol, I was too scared to lose it so it's somewhere in a drawer

bright hearth
#

i could hook it only my 3ds but the band for it would need to be longer so i could wrap it around properly

north willow
#

Yeah, it's a pretty sizeable charm

bright hearth
#

i know how to do it from wii controller straps
but i need to put the band over the charm for it and its much too big

north willow
#

I never finished the second half of that giveaway for the second person, which I feel bad about :x

#

I could go back to it I guess, but it's been 2 years rip

bright hearth
#

true

#

im pretty sure i still have some of the art done from the live draws from that chat

north willow
#

I don't remember much from that chat aside from asking if jewelry merch would be possible in the future

bright hearth
#

tbh me neither

north willow
#

Still would wear a Red ring to bits

bright hearth
#

tbh i'd want a replica of Boxer's jacket

north willow
#

Oh man I'd also wear that to bits

bright hearth
#

i kinda need a new jacket soon
I have a old attack on titan one that ive worn to hell and back and is pretty much a comfort item at this point
so honestly if they released any type of Supergiant jacket i'd wear it

north willow
#

Even better if they make it roughly the same length as how it looked on Red

#

Wouldn't say no to a shorter cropped version though, that would look pretty good too

bright hearth
#

honestly a camerata themed one would be cool too

north willow
#

Sybil umbrella!!!

#

Royce's jacket/coat converted into a hoodie of sorts would be soooo cool

bright hearth
#

i'd wear a hoodie like that
mainly white, red and black trim, Camerata logo on the chest

north willow
#

SG pls 🙏

bright hearth
#

id buy Triumverate hoodies too tbh

#

but when is Supergiant gonna release giant foam Transistors

#

like those foam minecraft swords

north willow
#

Askin' the real questions lol

#

I want a cell plushie

bright hearth
#

i want a plushie of Sandra's orb

north willow
#

Lmao

bright hearth
#

i wanna know the real questions

#

like what the name of Asher's cat is

#

but seriously its good to see you again
its been forever since the giveaway

north willow
#

Yeah, def a pleasant surprise!!

#

I couldn't keep up the blog much longer after the chat because of school, but it's really nice seeing that there's an active community on Discord

bright hearth
#

yeah, i really only ever use tumblr to look for art

north willow
#

I don't really see much transistor art, but that's because I don't track the tag or the blogs

#

I do still occasionally draw syb though

#

What an eternal muse

bright hearth
#

sybil is still great

north willow
#

Alright, I'm off to bed

#

Be seeing you around! o/

bright hearth
#

yeeeee

#

hope to talk again soon

#

👋

calm jackal
#

Speaking of transistor art, anyone remember function junction? Where this one artist would rp as every function character and draw a picture for each one

#

Q and a format

north willow
#

Yeah, askmeinthecountry

#

I really liked their art style

#

On a few occasions I think they had a choose-your-own-adventure sort of event with some of the characters that was super cool

When red said "I'm going to find the thing that's doing this and I'm going to break its heart"

Can you remind me: what IS The Country?
Has it been answered here?

wispy grail
#

The Country is probably a euphemism for the afterlife

rare moth
#

we just dont know! lots of theories are out there

#

but its def som sort of post-death situation

calm jackal
#

What isn't the country

#

Is paper boats considered country music?

slow ridge
#

It's better than most, if not 90% of country music

wispy grail
#

So in paper boats there's a line where Red sings "You can run but you cant hide"

#

Is it just me

#

Or is that stalker-ish

slow ridge
#

It may be a harsh, sad truth

#

If they are in a cloud and keep recurring into Transistor shells, is there any running?

wispy grail
#

Oh thank you so much

#

Ive been really wanting proof that I've been reading that line wrong lol

slow ridge
#

The lyrics change near the end as well, from "You can run but can't hide" to "WE can run but we can't hide"

wispy grail
#

yeah i noticed that but couldnt put 2 and 2 together lol

jolly radish
#

in the context of red and boxer's relationship i always read it as potentially being affectionate/playful as well

full peak
#

also yes, paper boats is 100% country music

foggy fable
#

Ngl, I always thought that it changed context with recursion mode

#

Like, it started out as a song about her and boxer but

#

After she goes through recursion a few times, it’s more at Royce

#

With all the lines about like, being on a course that can’t change (paper boats floating down a stream, magnets pulling from different poles, the moon pushing the tides, etc)

#

And with ‘you can’t run but you can’t hide’ being a threat

pseudo pulsar
#

in that way, it kind of works for both, doesn't it?

foggy fable
#

Ngl, that’s what makes this game amazing tbh

#

Some folks find the open end thing frustrating but I’ve seen some theories that I haven’t considered come from folks

pseudo pulsar
#

yeah

we're not getting away with this, are we

paper boats as red/royce is something i'm fine with 👀

Arby's ads are cute tho

#

Like, they put time qnd effort into their ads

#

I dont get the vibe that they half-*ss them

slow ridge

I will agree with that but something about it weirds me out

jolly radish

i think it's possible to enjoy the shoutout while still remaining critical of the modern corporate strategy of being the consumer's "friend"

Arby's needs to add seafood flatbread to the menu now.

LOVE the new Arby's ad! I really like all these little "shout-outs" they give to games, anime, geek culture, anime movies--a lot of them are really creatively done, and this one has got to be THE BEST one yet!!

jolly radish
#

red i think is the star

#

...appropriately

wispy grail
#

I would also put red as the fool because the fool is just the person starting on their journey

#

Um

#

So i could do transistor but I think its the hardest of the 3

slow ridge
#

The Process would be the Tower, correct?

wispy grail
#

Yeah

slow ridge
#

What would the Transistor itself be?

wispy grail
#

Boxer or the transistor? Sorry, just trying to clarify

jolly radish
#

i almost feel as if the blank slate nature of the fool makes it more suited to boxer

slow ridge
#

The Transistor

wispy grail
#

I mean the fool can be multiple ppl. Especially since boxer embarks onnthe journey with red. I still say red lol

#

Uh the transistor...

#

Hol up

jolly radish
#

i actually strongly think the process aligns best with the wheel of fortune

wispy grail
#

Transistor could be the magician

#

@jolly radish i think ur right

jolly radish
#

it's a card that points toward forces greater than what we know

slow ridge
#

Hmm, yeah, I can see it being the Magician

wispy grail
#

About the process. But the thing about the process is that the actually wiping out of cloudback can be the tower while the process itself can be fortune

jolly radish
#

i deffo think the transistor would be good for death

wispy grail
#

Thats a possibility

#

A good one

jolly radish
#

which is not actually about death, but about transition

wispy grail
#

Yeah, death just means a new beginning, usually one for the better

#

The lovers is obv

#

Strength can just be red and the transistor/boxer

calm jackal
#

Grant and asher as lovers

#

Strength as the spine?

wispy grail
#

The reason why i say red and boxer as the lovers is because in the end the lovers means choice. Red chose, at the end of the game, to be with boxer. So they fit the lovers best

#

The spine could be the negative attribute of strength

#

Sybil as the devil

slow ridge
#

Could Cloudbank be considered for a card, as it is a major player in the story and one song?

wispy grail
#

I wanna say yes

#

I just need to think

jolly radish
#

max darzi for devil, for the dependencies that controlled him

wispy grail
#

Yeah, I don't have my laptop on so I forgot all the side characters

#

But max darvi sounds good

#

I would say red and boxer in the country can be the world

#

Imma go do pyre because I think thats the easiest lol

jolly radish
#

sybil for empress... mostly reversed

#

grant as emperor ofc

#

and poor asher... asher is justice

THERE ARE TRANSISTOR FLASH DRIVES??

They were taken off the shop

For being outdated in terms of data storage

So I guess mine is worth a lot more money now :P

Yay scarcity economics

V tempted to sell it so I can buy the one with more gb when they put it back

But that's a capitalisms

Also transistor USBs sound like rlly cool merch. usually official merch is kinda boring, like just shirts and stuff, but it's cool to have the merch fit the theme too

low cypress
#

The songs in Transistor... Are they from before or after the fight? @lusty garden

jolly radish
#

what means this

wispy grail
#

Which songs?

#

Vanishing point.

#

?

pulsar lily
#

Which fight? There's plenty of those

lusty garden
#

@low cypress I approached all of the songs in Transistor as if Red had written them already before the events of the game take place.

pulsar lily
#

Even Signals? Poor Red... it's a tough song to listen to, definitely reads like it came from an unhappy place

inland mirage
#

we only really hear one "happy" song throughout the game

pulsar lily
#

yeah, but that's the darkest one by far
makes you wonder a little bit about her before the events of the game 🤔

hollow sable
#

oof

#

we really dont know much about her nor boxer

#

but i know that i love them both ;')

low cypress
#

The fight I mentioned was the fight that broke out in the crowd once, @lusty garden, causing Red to stop for a while to make less provocative music. Are the songs we've heard the more provocative or less provocative songs? If both, which ones are from which period?

elder vessel
#

I am willing to wager In Circles is one of the last songs she wrote, shortly before the encounters with the Camerata. Paper Boats is likely also after her provocative period. We All Become is probably one of her earlier pieces we hear, and The Spine, Signals, and She Shines are probably in between.

blissful blaze
#

personally i always considered signals to be the one that set off the fight in the crowd

#

take up the call and follow everybody / i won't become a number in the system

grand aspen
#

Same here

elder vessel
#

Yeah, so that's probably the last song in the early period.

grand aspen
#

Paper boats is probably after she fell in love with boxer

#

We all become is probably her second big song, with she shines as the first

#

We hear the spine when we look at a poster in game, so that suggests its her most recent one

elder vessel
#

It could also just be her most popular song

grand aspen
#

Possibly

#

But I'm leaning towards most recent, especially because of how early on you see the poster

elder vessel
#

Fair

grand aspen
#

And it sounds like the kind of song an artist would be made to write/sing after they start a fight

elder vessel
#

SGG kept things super vague anyway, so there's a lot of room for interpretation here

grand aspen
#

So I'm going:
She Shines
We All Become
In Circles
Paper Boats
Signals
The Spine

inland mirage
#

that does sound about right, since I imagine she wrote She Shines when she was more positive about cloudbank as a whole

lusty garden
#

@low cypress in my mind, all the songs in the game (plus Signals) were written after that occurrence, with She Shines written before.

low cypress
#

Cool, thanks for the answer!

oh hey I called she shines being the first one lol

#

didn't expect the other half of the answer though

frail fulcrum
#

I always thought recursion "restarted the program" from the very beginning, i.e. long before everything went down, but traces of the old data were not wiped, and they were expressed in the form of Red's music

ebon swift
#

@frail fulcrum
Cool idea, but it raises the question: why did she write songs in the first cycle?

frail fulcrum
#

I sort of just assumed there was no beginning, you know? It's a weird temporal loop thing

graceful cave
#

Thinking about how significant it is that transistor managed to tell a conventional, nonmeta story in a video game but in a way that would not work in any other medium

#

No fourth wall metanarrative tricks or gimmicks

#

Just lots of introspection, world building, tone work, and meditation on the nature of human choice

upbeat sky
#

I always thought that Transistor was the most linear of Supergiants games

#

In Bastion you make a couple choices at the end, and Pyre is just one hard choice after another

#

Maybe I’m just blanking, but was there a similar moment in Transistor?

#

Otherwise, it could work as a visual or graphic novel

graceful cave
#

not without losing the tone and the pacing and the texture and all the little minutae that make the story impactful

#

its not about branching choices or direct interaction with the player

#

but instead the tone and the spacing and the sense of loneliness and introspection provided by the way you explore and traverse the world and interact with the characters

upbeat sky
#

It’s definitely true that the medium being a game enhances the tone of the world, but that’s true about almost all games. It’s a really good medium

frail fulcrum
#

It might be the most linear, but I think there's the most room for interpretation in Transistor

in some way, you do make choices

i’m laughing a little about the thought of someone just speedrunning the switch version of transistor while morgan wasn’t looking

Speedrun is like 40m, so it's almost plausible except for getting used to the controls and definitely being noticed

#

Not sure how pax handles game demos

wispy grail

You can speedrun transistor in 40 min?

#

Hot damn

i dunno if those techniques would work on switch, lol. im looking forward to the switch speedruns of it

pulsar lily

I was at PAX- the Supergiant booth was pretty low-key, didn't really have much going on in lines (although I was there Monday so), the demo Switches were attached to the sides of the booth

(I don't have a Switch and don't plan on getting one too soon, so I admit I passed on the SG demos there in favor of stuff I hadn't played in any form yet 😅)

Isn’t the average playtime for 100% speedrun like 2 hours or something

blissful blaze

any% transistor world record is 37:57 without loads low% is slightly slower but i don't know what it does that any% doesn't

#

i can't see any "100% speedruns" of transistor on youtube

(okay, correction: low% is played specifically with the aim of finishing the game with as little exp gained as possible, any% doesn't care and just takes the fastest route to the finish)

Doesn’t the boxer at one point says something like ”Ugh, fertile ground” when they encounter something?

grim current
#

I bet the processed groud is smooth and hard.

#

Can't wait till Transistor is released on Switch. I love this game even more than Bastion

hollow sable
#

Boxer said that when they encountered the plant things but idk exactly what that was

grim current

cant blame em

Can confirm: Most Creeps are urban

#

The "fertile ground" moment was when Red was first teached how to show off with Transistor. I don't remember the exact location though

calm jackal
#

oh yeah, with the little process stalks out of the ground

#

man, yall know that sound effect when you walk through those and they just fall off

#

thats a good sound effect

wispy grail
#

#

agreed

calm jackal
#

who needs terminal sounds, process grass pulling sound effect is what i want as my text message alert

foggy fable
#

I think that red’s wearing a low heel, tbh

#

I mean, miles better than a stiletto, but not as good as like, running sneakers

#

The camerata needed to have the decency to at least try and murder her on her morning run tbh

#

(Like all good serial killers)

calm jackal
#

maybe she's wearing boxer's shoes

#

pulled em off his corpse

wispy grail
#

That's

#

Morbid

foggy fable
#

You said that and for a moment I thought you were saying that boxer was wearing heels

rare moth
#

he boxes in heels its his gimmick in fights

slow ridge
#

That'd almost get me interested in boxing

rare moth
#

tbh? yeah

slow ridge
#

Red's character design is just... Amazing

#

An evening gown with a jacket thrown over it and the skirt cut short is some sort of stroke of genius

spring plover
#

Or....Jen-ious ;)

slow ridge
#

Works for me

calm jackal
#

did she take the jacket off of him after he died, before he died, or did she just have a matching pair

slow ridge
#

The former, I believe

spring plover
#

In the flashback we get, Red is only wearing her gown and it isn't torn yet

#

So we can assume she tore the bottom half off and put on Boxer's jacket after he had been stabbed and the two of them had been teleported

#

She also wasn't wearing the jacket when they were attacked

#

And I think in one of the early trailers you can see her put it on ("I always thought it's hard to make new friends")

slow ridge
#

I was just thinking that

calm jackal
#

before or after removing the sword, i wonder

slow ridge
#

...After?

#

It'd make more sense and be easier to get someone who is sitting jacket off if they didn't have a giant weight stuck in their chest

calm jackal
#

and then she just puts his body back exactly how he was before

slow ridge
#

No, no, the jacket comes with the Transistor

calm jackal
#

the jacket is stuck to the transistor, so when she pulls it out, the jacket comes with, through the chest hole

slow ridge
#

I figured it was Boxer's function: Jacket

calm jackal
#

boxer's jacket: do you like hurting other people

slow ridge
#

...

calm jackal
#

yeah idk

foggy fable
#

Maybe it patched itself

#

At the time that that the game starts, the process hadn’t gone nuts yet, so I could totally see one of them taking care of it

#

gore cw I thiiiink that I read a hc somewhere of the transistor having a cauterizing feature, to make cleanup a little easier, so maybe there’s that?

#

Or maybe red’s a really good seamstress.

calm jackal
#

what patched itself, the jacket?

#

pretty sure the sword didn't go all the way through

#

might not even have touched the spine

frail fulcrum
#

Which means there's a chance that the spine is actually just Boxer's spine after being processed volfredthink

Damn, beat me to it 😛

there's a little close up of a cell in one of the trailers, i think

might be able to use that

lol why is red so bouncy in the reveal trailer

#

thank

frail fulcrum
#

I don't know why she's bouncy, but I'm glad they changed that animation for the actual game. It fits her elegant badass character more.

¿Por que no los dos?

sorry if this has been answered but is there gonna be a physical version of transistor its my favourite game and i need to own it

next bison
#

lol I was about to ask this too

bright root
#

same

full peak
#

i wish i had the $$$ for transistor merch 😩

calm jackal
#

I wonder if they'll put a new USB on the store for this release

cedar grove
#

@green flame @next bison @bright root a lot of people have been asking but as far as i’m aware there are no plans for it

lethal crow
#

We don't currently have plans for a physical version, but it's not something we've ruled out. Are you all asking about Switch specifically, btw?

green flame
#

any system at all

#

i just thought id ask now cause the recent announcement was about it

cedar grove
#

if it also gets a physical limited run, i hope there’s still going to be a PS4 version

#

i don’t even have a ps4 and i got the bastion one just to have it on my shelf

lethal crow
#

@cedar grove Awww thank you! I wish I had a stack of PS4s to pass around now.

#

aw, i’ll get one eventually :’) just didn’t wanna miss it

i finally have enough to buy a ps4 im so hype

that's a good feeling

Its my favorite theme

yea top 3 themes on ps4 = transistor, firewatch, persona 5 20th anniversary amazon jp exclusive theme

there is a transistor theme for ps4?!

how and where

why didn't i know about this

Yea i know

#

@full peak i think you should be able to find it on the Supergiant Website

#

Thats where i found it i think

Yo, the pyre theme is also great

#

And if there was a bastion theme i would buy that too

Dang that theme is sick, makes me wish i had a ps4 to customize

It's stunning

now i have to make the decision

journey theme or transistor theme

Transistor!

I have both and (imo) transistor is better

I was waiting for the flourish to be an move and I am not disappointed

hollow sable
#

ok but you know how... jigglypuff sings ppl to sleep in smash? That, but... Red. humming.

frail fulcrum
#

That should just be her taunt

full peak
#

@hollow sable Yeah I thought of typing it as a hold taunt but I was blacking out lol. Alternatively, it could be a fixed taunt but she only hums the four notes of the spine.

#

^ Up taunt
Side taunt: Slow dance with transistor.
Down taunt: tap the transistor twice near her foot with maybe an easter egg hitbox like Luigi and Greninja.

#

@frail fulcrum Is flourish what I described in up 🅱

#

I've barely played the game but I truly loved the atmosphere so I don't feel like I missed out.

frail fulcrum
#

Yeah, up special was the flourish

#

Love it

cobalt fjord
#

Very interesting! I've been brainstorming a smash moveset for Red fora a whlie, and we both have some very different, but both good ideas!


Won't use:
    Switch, Help

Jab:
    Punch, Kick, Spark(Royce's Animation) (Like Ike's Jab)
U-Tilt:
    Load()/Help() Animation, but up like Palutena's OR
    Something like MetaKnight's u-tilt
F-Tilt:
    Ping()
D-Tilt:
    Telekinetically "slide" transistor forward on ground
Dash-A:
    Bounce()
U-Smash:
    Cull()
F-Smash:
    Crash()
D-Smash:
    Tap()
N-Air:
    "Sex Kick" like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Shiek... ect
U-Air:
    <>Swipe Up with transistor like Marth<>
    OR
    Stab up
F-Air:
    Telekinetic forward thrust like when camerata attempts to take red
B-Air:
    Self-Buff (The end part, like Ike b-air)
D-Air:
    <>Slicing strike downward (spike) like Ike kinda<>
    OR
    Level-up like animation
N-Special:
    Breach() (Slightly Aimable, Chargeable, non-storeable)
U-Special: 
    Flourish (Hitbox?)
S-Special:
    Purge()
    Flood()
    Jaunt()
D-Special:
    Load()
    Mask()
Final Smash:
    Turn() OR 
    Help(Passive - Superuser)
Grab:
    Get()
U-Throw:
    Turn into "CardCube" and send up. Similar to Kirby/DDD star spit
F-Throw:
    Same as U-Throw, but forward.
B-Throw:
    Same as U-Thorw, but backward.
D-Throw:
    Lightly Tap() the opponent
Ledge-A:
    Royce-like Attack from ledge
Ground-A-Forward:
    <>Sweeping Leg Attack<>
Ground-A-Backward:
    <>Sweeping Leg Attack<>
Ground-A-Slip:
    <>Sweeping Leg Attack<>
Dodge:
    <>Generic Dodge<>
S-Dodge:
    <>Generic Spot Dodge<>

Entrance:
    Teleport in in MuseScreenIdle position
Taunt 1:
    Humming
Taunt 2:
    Fidget Eye + "Jerk"

    Power lost

    Examine
Idle 2: 
    Fidget
Victory 1:
    MuseScreenIdle
Victory 2:
    Humming to Victory Fanfare
Victory 3:
    Level up

Other:
Shield: 
    Bounce(Passive)

(I can remove this if it's too long or anything.)

#

If some of the wording doesn't make sense, its probably because I'm using names of things directly from the game files (self-buff, cardcube, museScreenIdle, fidget eye)

full peak
#

@cobalt fjord Yours is definitely more thought out and it's conclusive. I especially loved your D-Tilt, Chargeable 🅱 Breach(), and a Palutena-like U-Tilt. Very fitting.
I disagree with the N-Air

cobalt fjord
#

Yeah, I'm not too happy with the N-air either. I've flipped back and forth between the "sex kick" and the pit/palutena style one.

#

Seriously though, well done concept.

cobalt fjord
#

Thanks, I was planning on making a smash mod to add her, but thats wayyyy too much work for my modding experience and amount of free time

Oh man turn would be a cool final smash. Bayonetta time-freeze but like 10 seconds-ish
