they did do that for a few people I think

most of the time they approached the subject under the pretense of conversation
calm jackal
Maybe the nature of cloudbank makes kidnapping difficult
noble portal
true, but there's nothing to say it could have just been a "meet me here" sort of conversation, and the lcation is their blacksite in the offline part of Goldwalk
calm jackal
You can only be killed if you're surprised basically
noble portal
I got the sense almost all of these people met them willingly, so to the eyes of the public everything was legit
they also did make a point of picking people who could afford to disappear
noble portal
I think the main exceptions are Red, who was supposed to be alone, and would have appeared to just vanish after her show, and Lillian, who I think was sent out to the docks with the intent of getting information from some "informant" and was killed by the Process
full peak
and i guess that sybil would have fudged their kidnapping so she could 'save' red and win her affections frmo boxer
noble portal
yeah
bit of a headcanon but I suspect they also intended to use the Process to clean up the bodies, so they'd need the Transistor handy to command it to do that
full peak
mm
sybil let the whole world go to waste for one girl and tbh i can relate
is there a reason why boxer isn't in the system?
noble portal
in Cloudbank's system? No clue. The way he talks about stuff it sounds like he's from Cloudbank so being some random out-of-towner doesn't seem likely. He "declined" to pick selections which is probably like living off the grid without any ID or SIN in Cloudbank
full peak
hm
noble portal
He's just... a ghost, as far as the system is concerned, and that probably complicates the way the TRansistor interacts with his data
full peak
wouldn't that effectively lock him out of the democratic system manipulation?
noble portal
probably
full peak
weird choice
tbh i understand why the camerata wanted to change things even if it was fascistic
there has to be some kind of consistency to the world
upbeat sky
The Transistor is what 'absorbs' you in order to turn you into a Function
That's why you start with Crash and Breach - it comes from the parts of Red and the Boxer which were absorbed
I don't think there'd be a point in the Camerata meeting Red without having brought the Transistor along
noble portal
Now I'm thikning of other ways they could have gone about getting Red's trace... Short of handing the Transistor off to Sybil who likely had the most opportunities to see her alone (which is a bad idea, considering how many people in there she knew- the voices would probably drive her nuts), they'd have to arrange some other meeting, which would just be extra steps.
Also the timing of "after a big public event" adds a layer of deniability, esp if someone did find a body. Who's to say who actually killed Red? There were hundreds of people at the Empty Set, it could have been anyone who decided to hang around after the show
ignoring the question of what sort of implement could make what would probably be a huge gaping wound
noble portal
White sus XD
Oh no, the returning star has been murdered! With a.... battleaxe? Giant cleaver? What makes a wound like that? XD
kind of want to do some Among Us/Transistor crossover art
There are 4 Imposters among us
everyone's already colour-coded too
upbeat sky
Lmao
full peak
tbh i wish the game were just a teeny bit longer so the process and the camerata's origins could get sorted more
because it seems like royce discovered the process? but the process was already being controlled by the transistor to make the city possible?
noble portal
sort of headcanons again but some of Royce's dialogue implies the Process has been around as long as Cloudbank has, and is an integral part of how it functions. I suspect the city's network has been guiding the Process since basically forever, even if the general populace don't really know that. Royce notably was able to tease out that the Process is its own sort of... hivemind? inorganic organism? and figure out that it could be controlled directly from a single point- the Transistor. Rather than wait around for it to follow the polls, a user could just tell it what to do
upbeat sky
No canon answer to "is Cloudbank a simulation or not"... but personally, I reckon it is, and the Process is a literal computer process that Royce discovered and hacked into
The Transistor was his interface to do so
noble portal
but I too, would probably fight someone for prequel content
I have no strong opinions either way but I personally find it more interesting to assume CLoudbank is real and there's some minor cosmic horror stuff going on š
but I also like the idea of someone in the simulation hacking their way into the source code to literally run the world how they want to
the call was coming from inside the house!
full peak
Tbh the way I thought of it was that the people of cloud bank had figured out how to make nanomachines or something which could be infinitely reused so they could create an ever changing city
And maybe Iām wrong but the insinuation is that cloud bank isnt the only city of its kind
But rather that cloud bank was especially focused on creativity
noble portal
we don't get much discussion about the outside world, just "The Country" where a person can go but cannot return, which could be a literal place but also doubles as a metaphor for death in Cloudbank colloquialism
it'd be interesting if there were other places like Cloudbank; but necessarily they'd be pretty insular to be able to exercise such tight control over literally everything
full peak
It might be something like establishing residency - thereās definitely a place outside of cloudbank as boxer keeps talking about getting out of town like itās a legitimate possibility (if it were a simulation Iād assume they would have given a reason why people couldnāt leave) so Iād guess theyād be insular insofar as you canāt just join the city and start voting, you have to be there for some time
Itās also possible that cloud bank is just a higher end place for the upper class - it is filled with artists and high society people and this could also provide a plausible reason for boxer being absent from the database - either he isnāt an established member of the city because heās not a permanent resident and rather just a bodyguard or heās someone who disdains the elitist structure of the city
noble portal
interesting, so the society is tightly stratified and he's literally not important enough to be registered
full peak
Yeah, that heās not wealthy or āuniqueā enough to be considered for permanent residency/voting rights and heās not necessarily unhappy about that
noble portal
yeah I get the sense he's pretty content being a little on the outside of whatever the "system" is
full peak
mm. that fits w my interpretation of cloudbank - he seems disdainful of grant's highrise beyond hating grant himself, and the whole idea of "you can't even see it up here!" in reference to the process makes it seem like he's not a fan of those who live large
the idea of a world which is mostly covered in terraforming technology is interesting to me though because of how it changes the implication of the country as the afterlife - if life is this beautiful steel landscape which you can shape to your desires, then it would make sense that death is the antithesis of this. a landscape devoid of technology, where everything is placid and most importantly immutable. and also why going out to "the country" or a place of placidity would be synonymous with death, both because it's inconceivable to want to leave a veritable environmental utopia and also because it's pretty impossible to leave the shifting nature of civilization
noble portal
that's a bigger brain take than my initial thoughts XD
I was on more of a "There is no life without Verona walls" vibe. Cloudbank seems to foster a kind of zeal/patriotism in the people who live there, which makes sense, the place seems great. Leaving town to go anywhere else would be tantamount to death; you'd be away from home, nobody would know you wherever you went, and you'd be left (presumably) without all the conveniences and engagement of Cloudbank's overarching systems. People love Cloudbank, and most can't fathom why you wouldn't want to stay (unless of course you've outlived your usefulness to the general community, in which case one "retires" to the Country with a sense of accomplishment, as opposed to committing social suicide by just leaving on a whim)
which might also track with the Boxer's idea to skip town right at the beginning. THey know they're being hunted, why not just disappear to somewhere they're unknown? (but that does beg the question of how the Transistor behaves outside Cloubank's borders...)
and of course there's nothing saying these takes can't coexist, there's not really a "wrong" reading of Transistor, which is cool imo
noble portal
thank-you for jamming with me, I have 3 pages of notes for a fic now that I've been working on in between chatting š
little pagoda
Well was this a ride to read
vocal ether
Maybe I'm remembering wrong (since this is more... implied in the end credit images in B&W, implying with visual shorthand that they're memories before we get the final image with Red meeting Boxer in the Country) , but wasn't there a mention of Red going to the country to work on her songs? Again, probably misremembering, but if Red left Cloudbank to write (I'm almost certain it mentions that somewhere) Maybe she met Boxer there and brought him back with her to Cloudbank.
wispy stratus
the very end image in the country is colour
the ones which are sepia are past ones
vocal ether
Yes, that's what I said
wispy stratus
it doesn't mention anywhere what happens after they go to the country
but she did lie low after causing social unrest
vocal ether
I wasn't talking about what happened after the end of the game. I was speculating on events prior to the game's start/Boxer's origins as an add on to the conversation above.
noble portal
Red mentions the Country in āWe All Becomeā, is that what youāre referring to?
Think Iāll go where it suits me,
Moving out to the Country
With everyone- oh, everyone
Before we all become one
Eerily prescient of her, but I donāt think itās evidence sheās been there and returned. More of a āCloudbank is becoming something I donāt like, what if I just left?ā
white solar
I don't remember any mention of Boxer being from the country, I mean didn't he once say he was a fan of her

While itās not substantiated I like to think heās the protester mentioned in Redās backstory, before he calmed down and they reconciled

and then iirc it was implied that he was hired as security
stone shoal
white solar
Good morning, and good evening to me
I've actually wanted to write a spiel about something cool I noticed about Transistor but for the moment i gtg
vocal ether
What I'm talking about is that it mentions somewhere in the game that Red took time off to work on her songs, and that she left/disappeared to do so. Where she went isn't mentioned, I was just speculating that it's where she possibly met Boxer and then brought him back with her.
The Country is inconsequential to that.
It only matters if the Country is a physical place that exists outside of Cloudbank as opposed to only being a metaphor for death.
vocal ether
And again, I could be completely misremembering and be wrong. But it is a very fixed memory I have about the game. So shrug idk.
If I ever redownload and play through it for a fifth time and run across the information, I'll provide it. Feel free to assume my memory is wrong until then.
noble portal
I think she just kept herself out of the public eye, I don't think she ever left the city, but it does merit another look when I get around to playing again

ok so people who have played the game (end/character spoilers) ||I'm considering the implications of the final fight and how Royce might sort of be like the Camerata's 'executioner'? If we assume the Transistor pulls in whoever's nearest when it returns to the cradle, and then that person has to face off against the trace of whoever was integrated last... And then consider that the cradle is basically in Royce's basement and he's probably the one putting it away after a hit? He probably has a lot of practice fighting some very confused people. Kind of makes you wonder what happens if someone without a convenient material body wins... š¤ ||
white solar
The meaning of Happiness is never reading Negative Steam Reviews
Agreed. Steam Reviews are often a very personal experience of the game and most of the time wont accurately portray your own experience. Negative steam reviews can often be caused by one's own technical problems with their computer, or someone being a contrarian
there are some good ones with constructive criticism though, but again, it's subjective
wispy stratus
i find the long negative reviews are good since the people who write them explain exactly what the problem is, and also tend to list pros and cons

Hi, has anyone else encountered fps lock on Epic Games Store with this game? There's a thread on steam about this and one of the devs posted a solution with using /nofixedstep in launch options but that's not possible on EGS

I don't know a ton about troubleshooting Transistor, but launch options should be able to be used with EGS, they're just in a different place

Hello guys, I have a question few days back I started playing Transistor on the stream on Twitch. I had a pause few days and now I want to continue but there is a huge issue with using music on Twitch and I think music is core for the gameplay experience, so question is do I get a strike while playing Transistor with music on and we just get striked and we have no answer for that or is there a way I could get away from getting a strike/removing the strike?
noble portal
I wasn't aware Twitch was that sensitive with music stuff. (I never had a problem in the past but my streaming """career""" only lasted a few months) If it's part of the game audio it's probably fine? I can't imagine them striking every streamer leaving a game's native music in, that just seems like poor practice. I think there's an option to turn the music down/off in the settings but I agree, I think you'd be missing a part of the experience then. Unfortunately my only suggestion is to try things as normal and see what happens. If you get a strike, try to appeal it by explaining the audio is just from the game? I don't know... š¤

Idea that popped into my head. Everyone is John, but they're all trapped in a sword.
For anyone not familiar with Everyone is John, it's a comedic oneshot rpg where everyone takes turns controlling a guy and trying to do something. Shenanigans typically ensue
What about that, but instead you use the different traces in the Transistor as the PC options, and they take turns being the voice in the sword talking to who ever is wielding it at that moment. There's enough characterization that you can build goals relatively easily.
noble portal

Just bought Transistor!
There was a negative steam review with about 1,000+ people finding it helpful here, so that makes me slightly skeptical
anyone here willing to silence such skepticism?
frank minnow
I don't know what the contents of the review were, but I'll say that it's a game that just sort of throws you in and you have to piece the story together along the way. So I can see it can be a bit confusing and unengaging to players at the very start, but trust me, it's absolutely worth it.
young prawn
Good to know!
I heard this game is very special to some people
Maybe I shouldn't listen to ignorant folks who have no clue what "Literary Analysis" and "Sentimentality" is
A place like steam definitely lacks folks like those, no doubt
frank minnow
Lol for sure
But yeah, it's definitely a very special game. I would call it one of those games that manages to transcend it's medium and become art, if you pay close attention to it
young prawn
Tons of games are very artistic
They all just tend to have different ways of expressing it
final helm
What'd the negative review say? For me Transistor is messy in one aspect of its narrative, but I absolutely love the main thrust of it and also the whole rest of the game
final helm
thank you!
inland mirage
complaining about trials when trials are completely optional and irrelevant
i don't think i've ever finished the trials
young prawn
Welcome to Steam Reviews
final helm
No duh if you don't like the combat system you won't like the optional trials. I loved the combat system and eagerly finished all the optional trials available on a first playthrough (I rarely replay in general, that's on me not on Transistor)
Factually, the game is short. Pro or con depends on the player - again, for me that's a plus.
young prawn
People really shouldn't Rate a games value on Length
Different games are suited to different lengths
Some games benefit greatly from being long, while others serve best as nice, short, tender bits that can be summed up as "Short, simple, and sweet"
final helm
For me a review like this is... proof that no game works for everyone. I can see how they'd think that, but for example, the bullet point about the atmosphere having very little variation... my tastes are the opposite, for me a <10h game that's all set in a futuristic, art deco, blue city is the Ideal, I loved all the relatively small variations going from area to area, and I prefer this approach to games that emphasize the difference between their areas
and if they didn't like the setting, they probably didn't linger in any of the areas, hence the complaints about the OST. etc.
young prawn
^
My problem with this review is that they complain about EVERYTHING
But that is just people on the internet, isn't it?
final helm
Just human nature, I suspect. They say at the end the game was overhyped to them and that fed into their disappointment. We all have our games that we feel like spoiled our milk and keyed our car, even if they have SOME redeeming feature our overwhelming feeling is UGH

Just got Transistor a few days ago. After several failed attempts yesterday and today, this afternoon with barely any health left I managed to kill The Spine. Loving this game so far. Bit different from Bastion but I think I've gotten the hang of it.
Amazing how quickly Supergiant Games can switch setting from apocalyptic fiction with Bastion to cyberpunk with Transistor
noble portal
the interesting thing is the tropes are sort of flipped between Bastion and Transistor's genres. You'd probably expect to see the "escape ark/end of the world" trope in a sci-fi setting, with the "artifact that steals peoples' souls" trope in a fantasy setting. But between SGG's frist two games, they're flipped

Whoa good eyes Yokoboo!

Well the person who posted it labled it as early transistor concept art. And then someone in the comments made a comment about SGG whitewashing Red. So I wanted to investigate where it came from, maybe provide some more context for that person, because I know as a graphic designer and comic artist that concept art goes through SO MUCH change before the final, and SGG is indie, it's not like a AAA studio exec is telling an artist to make the skin lighter because racism, but I wanted to find "proof" in a sense before I got myself into a "discussion" with someone on twitter. And it was really nice to learn about the story of the game's production- I love stuff like that.

slow dust
Usually when you see some twitter idiot going off about how "something is whitewashing" you're pretty free to ignore them for life
white solar
In my opinion, even though the story is simple and doesn't really extend itself to many deeper themes, Transistor is a game that's bigger than itself.
The music, the art direction, the environments, the characters, to even the small sound effects you get from opening access points and OVCs, all lend themselves to creating a wholly unique world and experience not found in any other game or piece of media. They work together to create this meaningful and spacious kind of depth brought about by the magnitude of the art direction and design alone.
I think to compare it with, I'd bring up Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli films. Most of them have a simple story too, without too much breadth on their themes. But people love them almost solely because of how beautiful the art, the animation, the music, and the environments are and how the characters adventure through them.
Are there games with much better and deeper, themed stories than Transistor? Of course, tons. But like I said, Transistor is unique in the sense that the culmination of all its parts of artistic value make a whole greater than the sum.
or maybe I'm just crazy. Or maybe I just like the soundtrack that much. Or both.
manic lava
it's been a hot minute since ive played transistor but i wouldn't call its story simple or lacking in deeper themes. it's not set out easily but there's a lot of ways to dig deep into it and craft theories.

^^I honestly agree with you but to an undiscerning eye, the story seems pretty simple
so I'm saying even if you take the story as simple, that doesn't mean transistor as a whole is

Transistor is one of those games, even more so than Bastion/Pyre, that just left me wanting more. Cloudbank is a terribly interesting setting and I'd love to see more fiction of any sort in that area, everything about Transistor is beautiful and visually distinctive, and the story just ends on a note that makes me wish there were more stories to tell, both before and after the events of the game.
I think I have it worse with Transistor in that sense because Bastion/Pyre more or less come full circle in their storytelling, while Transistor is a bit more ambiguous and pick-up-the-pieces with the way it tells its story.
serene inlet
Yeah Transistor has great world building

I'll start the recursion soon, but I highly doubt it going to be highly replayable

I told others about the game and asked them about the ost itself, they weren't expecting how beautiful it is!

i feel that i havent played the way that the game expects from me
I don't play that many rpgs (last one was witcher 3 and that was WRPG, and the last one JRPG was FF6)
noble portal
arguably there isn't a "wrong" way to play, though. I have a friend who made it most of the way through the game without using Turn. He said it was hard, but doable. So even that isn't a huge deal. And if you struggle to find functions that work well for you, the game still starts you off with probably the most solid 4 you could pick from (excluding some of the really late-game functions like Void and Purge).
in fact playing without Turn at all is a valid strategy, trying to blend planning and recharging with real-time combat is tough until late game/in recursion
formal estuary
i finished the game with 90% of my process terminations was by Turn(), didn't weave in many Functions outside of Turns
took me about 6hours one sitting , my friend took him like 5 hours one sitting too
noble portal
wow
Oh man, I can't upload pics to this channel but during my recent replay I found some stuff I'd never noticed before.
Notably that you can tell if there are other players "humming" in the same area as you. There are movement ghosts but there's also a particle-effect indicator that someone is humming! I'd never seen it before
formal estuary
enlighten me more!
noble portal
that's the main thing, honestly. There were a few little worldbuilding things in the text crawlers on Terminals that were kind of fun. The boat you hijack from the Empty Set is basically "last year's model." The UI names it as a "Baudelere Type-8" and a text crawler you can find before that point mentions the company by name and that they're releasing the "Type-9" soon
calm jackal
Hehe you KNOW sybil has the latest model available
She probably pre-ordered the type 9
noble portal
I;ve always wondered whose that is. Is it actually Sybil's? Or someone else who took their boat to a concert.
lol
Cloudbank is hella boujie if there are people just being like "yeah let's just drive up the canals into downtown on my private water craft to go see a concert. We'll park right next to the stage, it'll be great"
though I guess if an appreciable amount of the city is built on/around the canals, it's probably actually practical
to own a boat instead of a car XD
I know I'm rambling but I actually really appreciate that Cloudbank seems to be a primarily "pedestrian"-catered city. I think that's awesome.
calm jackal
Well we know there's at least 1 highway
noble portal
yeah it seems like the freeways run the borders of town and most everything else is public transit or light vehicles like motorcycles
formal estuary
I need to enrich myself with more lore about this game
calm jackal
...we see a motorcycle parking lot but never any car parking lots.... maybe its a motorcycle only society
noble portal
all I know is that Cloudbank does not seem to be designed with cars in mind, at least not in spaces coexisting with pedestrians, and I greatly appreciate that XD
noble portal
yeah there's definitely a subway or similar, it comes up a couple times
calm jackal
Where you first learn about load particles
formal estuary
how do people of Cloudbank "log off"?
noble portal
die? depends on how you interpret the setting
calm jackal
Thats not something the game directly answers yeah
The "mechanics" of the city are generally unexplored, which is fine to me
formal estuary
yeah because I thought about how ||living inside the transistor is a simulation inside Cloudbank itself, or the lackthereof||
noble portal
recursion intensifies
calm jackal
The game is careful not to introduce a hierarchy when talking about the transistor... "now we're here, not there"
noble portal
I've done that n the final fight, it's awesome

The road to hell is paved with 'oh hey this limiter doesnt look like it does much'
IT DOES
IT DOES.
noble portal
they do make things genuinely pretty difficult. There are a few that can synergize with a function build (eg. one spawns double cells on kills, works with Switch passive to give you twice the badcell friends) but most of them just make things difficult for you, as they're meant to

yes

fetches are nightmares
formal estuary
Limiters on fetches is borderline nightmares
especially the later stage where you aren't equipped with good functions
so you either spam turn until its off cd
or use jaunt so much that the icon on the keyboard/gamepad wears off
noble portal
gotta be honest; whatever headspace I have to get in to to write Royce is really hard to get out of. feel weird for like a day after. Whatever is going on with Royce is contagious, lemme tell ya
unreal gulch
I've roleplayed very Royce-like characters in games before, and I wholly agree.
noble portal
thank-you XD
still zealot
I have a halfling named Royce in a dnd campaign I'm in
Would Red and Royce be hexblade warlocks? 
he's a tomelock for me in any case
noble portal
I built a Pathfinder character heavily based on Royce using the Blackblade Magus archetype (with a few levels of Investigator for extra skill support. not that I'd expect anyone to be familiar with the system)
he was actually one of my favourites, made it to the finals in my university's tabletop tournament with him š¤
but Hexblade seems like a good approximation in 5e
Red was a Bard before the GM went "Okay you level up from the encounter with the Camerata, but it has to be a level of Hexblade"
noble portal
not much to say unless you want the details of the build š
unreal gulch
Royce as a hexblade warlock feels right, but Red actually might be more of a oath of vengeance paladin or maybe even a barbarian. She is a merciless force of revenge.

shrewd juniper
noob question: is there a way to tell where exactly your moves will knock enemies during Turn()? having trouble setting up combos reliably
formal estuary
nope, you gotta figure it on your own
calm jackal
Yeah thats the one frustrating part about turn
That's why I don't like using get and cull...
I guess if you wanna make it work you do get or cull right before your turn
calm jackal
... the transistor can't predict movement during turn... that's how boxer saved red

I think "the boxer" real name is Auden I think I saw it in prototypes in the "the story behind transitor" documentary and apparently that name is on the files

Could be, then again sometimes the names are just there? If that's the right explanation
Like for example, in Hollow Knight there's a character named Brumm, but in the files he's name is Igor

True but I've searched everywhere I searched where his lore should be and it just said "unkown" the fandom calls him "mr. Unknown" but I'm going to call him Auden

Idk just a theory I mean the process was doing a job. Mabye the Transitors job is to absorb?? Idk
Idk that is a good point
little pagoda
wouldnt say the transistor is just a tool
royce believed it sort of had its own will
i think a dev said that
or well, a mind of its own maybe
sonic goblet
I guess but why hasn't it acted sooner?
It could have its own motives...
||My idea is that the country is real-life and that the cradle is a gateway to the real-world while cloud bank is like a matrix-like utopia and the only ways to the country are death, the gateway and the Transitor. Mabye humanity has forgotten about the real-world?||
formal estuary
wait, so what you're saying is people left real life for cloudbank?
sonic goblet
Yeah
sonic goblet
Mabye!
sonic goblet
But then "offline" could just mean evautcuteated
formal estuary
or they just die.??
the possibilities are endless on this one
but then ||red went on to suicide because she was alone in cloudbank and no one else was there||
sonic goblet
True
formal estuary
the speculations can be wild , but I still enjoy the game where at is right now
sonic goblet
Yeah
Wait everyone died not disconnected (I think?)
@formal estuary this is a hard one
formal estuary
thats what i've looking an answer for
the game doesn't specify how the people of cloudbank logged off....
sonic goblet
I think they all just went to "the country" or "the real world"
serene inlet
Maybe mark stuff like ||the country|| as a spoiler
It's nothing big, just maybe to be safe

@formal estuary I have a revise of my theory || like I said mabye inside the transistor is real-life a desolate wasteland with farmhouses almost like "the country" but when people die I believe they go to a simulated " country" where it's beautiful and calming but it's just a sim inside a sim I think that when red went to the cradle she was put inside the Transitor with royce after all the traces of other people are there|| what do you think does it make more sense?

that is some inception level stuff

formal estuary
turn off some limiters, thats what makes the game difficult a bit
noble portal
You can pick them off with cheaper ranged functions like Ping, Spark, Bounce. Lately I've been finding the summons from Help are really good for cleaning up annoying weak enemies like badcells and weeds. I feel like there's a function you can use as an upgrade to completely toast badcells on a kill but I can't remember which one it is

jaunt bounce and spark are pretty good when combo'd

manic lava
it wouldn't surprise me if that was intentional
shrewd juniper
https://poets.org/poem/shield-achilles you can read the poem yourself and see if it reminds you of anything else in the game
personally i notice right away that Thetis objects to the color of the sky Hephaestos chose at the end of the first stanza
he also creates a featureless warlike world without places to eat and dance and singāall features of the old Cloudbank mourned in the story
and the image of a faceless voice speaking out of the air to justify its cause in dry tones reminds me of Royce, of course
i think the connection is interesting whether intentional or not

just got this gameI LOVE ITit's like my fav kind of sci-fi and the way it's written is also...my fav kind
noble portal
well, since there was a little interest in it, I'll go off about my fic for a bit. I mainly need a hand framing the next chapter or two bc while I know the gist of what I want to happen, I'm not 100% on the how.
The following contains plot and character spoilers for like, all of Transistor, so I'm gonna tag the whole thing...
So, ||the fic establishes an AU where both Red and Royce survive their final conflict and return to reality. They rewrite Cloudbank and manage to reverse the majority of the populace getting processed. Unfortunately the Process doesn't take kindly to being dragged back and sent away again, so it reclaims the Transistor at the end of the rewrite.||
Shortly after, ||Royce returns briefly to Bracket Towers to clear our the Camerata safehouse there, before the cops get to it. While he's there he discovers Asher's cat Glitch survived the outbreak, and adopts her bc that's just the humane thing to do. He spoofs a fake ID into the network and goes into hiding.||
A few months later, ||Red has been doing her best to cope with her losses and get back to work. One evening Royce shows up on her doorstep and asks her to take Glitch from him, since he's in a bad way and can't handle taking care of her. Although equal parts confused and angry that he had the audacity to just show up at her home, Red accepts, more to get rid of him than anything.||
Where I'm stuck is ||I want another scene where Red and Royce actually take a moment to talk things out and, y'know, relate? Since they're sharing a lot of the same trauma and thoughts about one another. Initially I thought this next bit would start with Royce approaching Red again, but I think I want things the other way around. I delight in writing the guy weird but I don't want him to come off as stalkery. But I'm struggling a little to justify Red's motivation for trying to track him down and talk. Do I frame it as more coincidental? Is there an angle I'm missing? I dunno||
calm jackal
||maybe it's a practical concern. she needs something from asher's stuff to care for the cat? medicine?||
||or some other macguffin||
noble portal
hmm, maybe. IT had occurred to me that ||Royce may had accidentally left some contact info, maybe an address or number, on the cat's tag||
but that's still no motivation
calm jackal
oh!
||maybe the cat runs away, to return to the towers||
||and royce is there, for some reason...||
noble portal
ooh, ||it'd know where his new place is, maybe it takes off while Red is out with it and she ends up following it to where Royce is staying||
calm jackal
||cat snuggled up in one of asher's old shirts š„ŗ ||

So, I completed the game. Gotta say, I didn't like the game at first, but later it started to grow on me. The mixing and matching of the functions is probably my favorite part of the game. Though I may need to replay it to have a better understanding of the story.
||The ending || ||kinda left me with mixed emotions (not that it's a bad thing), it was very unexpected for sure||

Iāll have to try those combos. Just started seriously trying out Void, surprised how powerful I can get with the right upgrades.
white solar
The most broken function to me is still ||Void(Get + Crash). Seriously, couple this move with any other attack (ideally an AOE move), and it doesn't matter if there's a thousand men because you can suck them into one place, stun them, and blow them to kingdom come|| Like, once you go Void, you cant go back man
Followed in overpoweredness only by ||Void (Tap+Purge). You will not be able to die due to insane lifesteal||

I wish more games allowed for becoming really op, or allowed you to find your way through them easily by virtue of your creativity/experimentation like Transistor.
I say this because most games require you to "get good" and improve your skill but my skill is bad
slate horizon
Haha for real! Difficulty is such a weird thing to balance in games, especially indie titles. You dont want to make it boring or repetitive but you also need to design room for different levels of skill or play style.
wheat bobcat
Hey, i the game you run across a 'Selection Office'. Question is, does the game ever explain what Selection is?
noble portal
it doesn't explain them explicitly but everyone has 2 Selections in their profile, they seem to be areas of focus, training, or study. Some of them make sense at a glance, like Red's "Linguistics" selection, but some are more abstract, like Moyle selecting for "Reflexes", showing that they can in fact be physical attributes, not just subjects of study
they seem to follow the ultra-customizable lifestyle of Cloudbank ("You can be anything you want in this town", according to Red's companion) to a slightly absurd conclusion of people heavily customizing themselves
what exactly that means or how exactly that influences life there is left as an exercise to the interpreter and how digital/mundane you want to read life in Cloudbank
I like to think for the most part they're equivalent to a real-life degree/area of study. They're probably public information to everyone else, like something you'd put on a business card to give people a quick sense of what you know or what you can do
wheat bobcat
Yea, that's what I was thinking.
Honestly, I think working with worlds like Transistor gives you so much more creative freedom for sci-fi
Especially for things like technology and prosthetics
noble portal
Mr. Nobody basically says he's been putting off making Selections, so I can only assume it's sort of equivalent to graduation/reaching legal age/("joining the Cloudbank server" and/or earning the right to make Selections) and you join the greater community/workforce/whatever according to what you picked
we also know there's some sort of higher education system-equivalent, since Red's entry mentions Traverson Hall as some kind of technical institute
so it's proabbly a lot like graduating, pickinga field, and then presumably startng a job in that field
wheat bobcat
Cuz one of my ideas for a device is that there are what are essentially lesser-Transistors called Diodes, which are devices one attaches to themselves. Their trace data is then absorbed into their Diode and their body is reformed out of it- thus permanently merging the two together. This allows one to output a different Function based on their Trace Data, and whenever their body is damage beyond repair, rather than dying, their physical form is retracted into their Diode and they have to conserve more energy before they can reform.
noble portal
oh spooky
wheat bobcat
Yeye
It's how the characters in Achieve have their powers, it's just their Trace Data being converted into a Function via their Diode
So like, the one hacc boi had his Trace Data made into a Function that directly manipulates the base code of other things, although only for a limited period of time.
noble portal
occasionally I think about how it's implied Red and Royce both went to Traverson, even though with the age gap they probably weren't contemporaries š¤

Hi sorry if this is the wrong channel for this but I'm not sure what the right channel would be. I sent an email but I'm still waiting on a response so I thought I'd try discord as well. I'm interested in the free Bandcamp code for the Transistor soundtrack as I own the album on steam.
wheat bobcat
I think one thing everyone overlooks is how many side characters there are that nobody notices. Like, when you pass through the Ferry Building right before the Terminal about Traverson Hall, there are posters on the side of this dude named 'Eqocny'
noble portal
(arguably that's just "flavour text", which isn't meant to be legible by the players, but yeah. There are a couple posters around for what I might guess are other bands/music groups, one for Fashion Week, and one for the Highrise Hammers sports team)
Dimitri, I think that's probably best left to waiting on a support email? Unless someone here has experience in redeeming the Bandcamp code (which I sadly do not, I cannot help you š¦ )

wheat bobcat
I've also worked on a few neat ideas for the Transistor spiritual sequel where you play as the child of Red and Auden's that's actually just a manifestation of the Transistor itself.
Firstly, the ABXY buttons don't perform Functions- those are performed via the D-Pad/right joystick.
A instead does a stationary evasion move that nullifies damage and then counterattacks, B delivers a lunging slash, X slashes with the Transistor, Y slams the Transistor downward into the ground to perform a groundpound that stuns nearby enemies and nullifies projectiles.
So all of the Functions are mapped to the D-Pad as projectile abilities that all have cooldowns now, whereas the ABXY buttons perform melee strikes that have no cooldowns.
still zealot
Recommendation, don't use joysticks for anything but movement and camera. I know the temptation is great to experiment, but no game has ever pulled it off well. Using your thumb for anything else has always felt super clunky and unintuitive
wheat bobcat
You use your thumb to press the ABXY buttons though
still zealot
Sorry, I meant thumb as in joystick, moving a stick around rather than pressing buttons down
wheat bobcat
Regardless, it's all still hypothetical
Also, I meant the D-Pad predominantly. You could map it to the right joystick if you just wanted all the abilities to be controlled on the right side of the controller, and movement on the left.

soo just started a new profile , i feel my last profile was horrible
what is the best functions I can use from level ups? , best combos in terms of early levels (currently in level 3!)
rustic gazelle
when I was level 3 on my first play through a few days ago; breach / spark to get 3 close-in beams during backstabs was very good.
I wish I had done more things with putting attacks / effects on jaunt. That's what I enjoy the most
noble portal
Best early picks really depend on your preference for play style. The most ādirectā are probably Bounce() and Load().
Mask() adds another movement/defensive option but the cool down can make it a bit prohibitive at low levels, and Switch() complicates things a bit by adding friendly enemies for a short duration (itās best as an upgrade early on, so you can Crash something or Jaunt last something and Switch them) rather than devoting a whole slot to it
noble portal
Load() also works best as a passive early on because it takes a lot of time/planning allotment to go off, but as a passive it drops packets for free

Got techno hades vibes from it in terms of gameplay
Also heck yes the soundtrack is fire
Listening to it on shift rn, love how eerie some of it is

Hey, so, minor question... ||What actually happens if you LOSE to Royce?||
noble portal
Itās a normal game-over screen visually but ||thereās a bit of dialogue from Royce bidding you an awkwardly upbeat farewell||
And it reloads the last checkpoint, itās not ||a ābad endā||
wheat bobcat
@noble portal ||I legit tried to make it so he could kill me and it took him so long, I nearly killed him without losing a single Function just out of sheer boredom lol||
Low-key, I am running a pretty broken Function comp
Crash, Spark, Flood, and Mask for actives with Crash having Breach and Jaunt, Spark having a second Spark, Flood having Get, and Mask having Purge and Load. Then I've got Bounce, Crash, Tap, and Void for passives.
noble portal
Yikes XD
wheat bobcat
It's a fun comp lol
I like that adding Purge and Load to Mask makes it so it can be used both as an escape tool with the added bonus of picking off nearby enemies as well as an offensive tool, given you release a massive aoe attack when you mask and gain a boosted attack when you unmask.
Like, Crash() > Mask() > walk behind Target > Crash() > Flood() > Spark() > Spark()
Works like a charm, can pick off most any enemy.
wheat bobcat
Is there any way to start a new game without doing a Recursion?

Currently I have Mask() as a passive, and the actives are Crash(), Breach(Get)), Load(Bounce()), and Jaunt(Spark()).
Appreciate the help, going to experiment with some of them especially Void().
one of the function combos I like is Jaunt(Spark()), dealing damage + mobility feels so cool
noble portal
Void() is honestly massively powerful on its own and always makes it into my loadout of active functions
white solar
I always preferred Jaunt(Load) over Jaunt(Spark) for the consistent damage
formal estuary
The functions I have rn is : Crash, breach, spark, jaunt, bounce, load, help, mask, get ,switch, and purge
formal estuary
Void() is honestly massively powerful on its own and always makes it into my loa...
I haven't yet made it to there yet
nvm I did
wheat bobcat
I tend to just use Mask() for escaping as well as mobility and a nigh-insta-kill for most Process unites (With Load() and Purge())
formal estuary
oh , I use Void(Purge)) , but i'll change it
noble portal
Void(get()) is pretty good, creates a little black hole so you can just focus on hitting the things that get sucked in
formal estuary
switched to jaunt and breach as passives (I really really play around Turn() ) and Crash, Load(Purge()) , and Void(Get(Flood)))
wheat bobcat
I tend to use Void() as a passive, same with Tap().
inland mirage
void(purge, tap) makes you unkillable
wheat bobcat
Then I've got Crash() + Jaunt() & Breach(), Spark() + Spark(), Flood() + Get(), the Mask() + Purge() & Load() for the final slot, and then Tap(), Void(), Bounce(), and Crash() as passives
formal estuary
the game showed some sort of cmd-like app and crashed...

||Traces?, Is it the white blocks or what?, could you elaborate more on that?, I'm really interested in the depths of the lore.||

A Trace is one's code, essentially the data version of a soul. It's what you absorb from all those dead bodies you happen across, y'know, a typical Tuesday.

Exactly. A lot of ||Royceās dialogue implies heās been through clashes like that before. Some of it I think was cut, but heās familiar with the rules of the duel and that a User gets pulled into the āOut of Rangeā space when the Transistor is used to kill someone.||

Finished my first play through and wasnāt expecting it to end that way. Iām glad I got a chance to play it but Iām not sure Iāll go back for a bit. I love the look of everything for sure though
I might feel differently if I wasnāt playing on switch, for whatever reason it doesnāt feel set up for that

valid, it's definitely an ending you kinda have to take a break after
does the gamefeel not mesh with Switch? I figured it'd be a good fit with the control layout

@noble portal Iām making a guess that with the PC you can mouse over the function pictures and confirm what they are. For the challenges that gave you a preset I had a hard time understanding what I had been given since I couldnāt pause and look at my load out.
Similarly, āsocketingā my functions felt more annoying with switch controls than Iād expect it to be on pc where clicking is a more natural choice. It was all UI navigation stuff I was referencing instead of moving around the world/battlefield

I mean I played to exclusively with a controller on PC so I had just as much of a guessing game when I did Sandbox Tests

I think Cybil is what I called one of my dnd characters
wheat bobcat
I feel that
I have a character named Psyon, I've misspelled 'scion' without realizing so many times it's painful.
noble portal
It's a double pun, it's a math joke, but also a "set" is an on-stage session for a musician (or alternately the background for a scene in a play)
so an "empty set" could also refer to the rather minimal thrust stage of the venue, but also be a "haha no artists play here" joke

Has there ever been a released or known record of the most commonly used functions in the game?
A friend and I are creating a custom character of Red for fun for a board game, and there are too many functions to emulate, so I thought it'd be fun if there was a known list of the most "popular" functions
noble portal
I don't know. It's possible, the game seems to track a lot of other "global" stats
worst case I suppose you could post a poll here and see how people respond

I am once again overhtinking about Processed Sybil š„ŗ
@noble portal oh wow glad i'm not the only one then
noble portal
just like... thinkin about how Royce would react to her. Awe? Fear? Excitement? Existential terror? All of the above?
hexed depot
i mean, royce is an interesting fellow, he likes the quiet but he also loves his friends, so probably he's devastated seeing her like that
i didnt even thought of hoq royce sees others holy crap, now that you mentioned it
i'm still overthinking on how sybil stayed in the set because she feels.. guilty?
noble portal
"She offered to track you down herself" iirc from Royce's dialogue? Though that might have been a cut line? (my point of reference video includes some stuff that was removed but like... damn)
I've had it in my head for a while that Sybil was dealing with Process sickness for some time before the concert and Royce totally knew and was trying to do... something, anything, to help
white solar
Meanwhile I'm over here thinking about what if Asher got processed for the 16351th time
tried drawing it but to no success
noble portal
Hmm thatās a tough one. Youād have to work in the scarf somehow, obviously... now Iām thinking about it ok š¤
white solar
i'd figured maybe the scarf could turn into floating polygonal shapes around his collar area
or maybe just become a part of his body, like a glowing beam surrounding his collar
noble portal
I imagined it'd be kind of like Sybil's extra arms, like grabby tendril bits
inland mirage
what happens to the cat on his shoulder 
noble portal
dunno, I guess it turns into something akin to a Fetch?
white solar
Yes that's what I was thinking
would be an interesting boss mechanic
you'd have to fight both Asher and his cat
formal estuary
wouldn't it be similar to|| Royce's Turn|| but including the cat with a mechanic similar to Help() in Turn()?
noble portal
Not necessarily since Turn appears to be a function of the transistor but it could be spooky if a powerful Process form could hijack the userās Turn and plan in parallel
I do like planning the cat-Fetch (Catch?) as a Help()er though, thatās neat
hardy mica
Is losing a function permanent if you die?
vocal ether
Only if you didn't save between getting the fuction and dying
when you die you go back to your last save point
If a function is damaged, it requires visiting a save point a certain number of times before it's restored and useable again
hardy mica
So let me clarify real quick. I got to 0 hp once with Sybil and it respawned me, but I lost a function.
Not sure if that changes what you are saying
vocal ether
So you'll still have the fuction
basically, you revert to exactly how you were at your last save point
Losing a funtion is the same as that function being damaged.
So... basically if you run out of damaged functions and die-die, you can go back to your last save point and things will revert to your condition when you made the save, including discarding any XP you might've picked up afterwards.
If you lose a function, or a few but survive/win the match, those functions are damaged. You're required to visit a number of save points before they're restored and you can use them again.
hardy mica
Ah okay. Thanks. I still have quite a bit to learn
vocal ether
np!
hardy mica
I think all of Supergiant's games cram you in the face with new information.
I'm not against it, but it takes a minute to digest
vocal ether
That's one of the reasons the second run through is nice, because if you have a copy of the functions, you can switch them out rather than run around with broken functions installed in the transistor.
frail topaz
Also of note, when you lose functions, you always lose the most valuable ones firsst
hardy mica
Oh wonderful!
frail topaz
As in, the attacks that you've loaded with the more valuable functions
it's been forever since I played Transistor so I don't remember the exact terminology here, but that's the basic point
vocal ether
How does the game measure how valuable a function is? Is it just the one you use the most? Or is there an actual table of how valuable each function is?
hardy mica
Yea Edo, I follow what you're saying. Also Yokoboo, I imagine it's the one you've relied on the most.
vocal ether
That's what I would think too
frail topaz
You know how when you activate Turn, certain attacks take up more of it's duration than others?
It works like that
Roughly speaking
frail topaz
Though again, it's been years since I played Transistor so I don't really remember the specifics of it
hardy mica
That would also make sense. That spear ability in the very beginning takes up a lot of the turn bar
And that is the one I lost
frail topaz
Also I think what other functions you put onto them factors in a bit too
meager galleon
i think its mainly based on how many memory bars it takes up when you select it
noble portal
That^ itās the highest memory value functions first, though if you have equal values, the game seems to prioritize non-damaging functions in ties, that way you can still finish a fight
(Unless of course youāre me and purposefully brought a set of harmless functions to the final battle to see what would happen XD)
full peak
If you only have one damaging function left, even if it eats 90% of your MEM, it will be selected last.

it took like maybe 6 hours to beat the game on my first playthrough (that is if you count the optional bonus challenges) and 16.8 hours to get 100% achievements.
hardy mica
Okay good! I was hoping you'd say something like that. I got to Sybil pretty quick and I was getting a bit worried
hardy mica
So... Sybil's function seems a bit OP. I barely have to do anything anymore. Just let ||Luna|| do the dirty work
white solar
I finished it in 11 hours for my first playthrough
so also depends on if you do a lot of the tests
calm jackal
sybil's function does get a lot weaker as stuff progresses
hardy mica
The tests have been fun, so I'll probably be doing those.
And yeah, I've noticed she isn't as busted as I thought
But ||Luna|| is the best girl!
lunar mesa
yea
its been a while but i usually put it on the jaunt function cuz its a really good defense
hardy mica
The copies?
lunar mesa
ye
im a little coward that creates copies and hides with the function that turns you invisible
hardy mica
I mean, running away definitely isn't a bad thing. Once your turn is up, you're defenseless for a good few too many seconds. Also, I currently replaced jaunt with the stealth function just to switch it up a bit. They also serve the same purpose
They do have massively different purposes for upgrades though
I do like how much variety there is with the functions. Gives a lot of opportunities to try many different things.
But let's be real, I'm pretty sure that's a Supergiant Games' staple at this point
hardy mica
Those dogs are brutal! Any tips?
signal nymph
Those dogs are brutal! Any tips?
Crash and hten jaunt away is always my strategy
wheat bobcat
The best way to deal with them is to start a turn with Mask(Load + Purge), run behind it, and use Crash(Jaunt + Breach) then Spark(Spark + Ping)
That lets you get in massive damage from the base explosion and the seekers, then deal some backstab and unmask damage while crashing them, then launching double-split explosions that cost less than normal
signal nymph
If your new to the game, remeber, if you have like 0.000001 % of turn left over, you can still use any function no matter its size
hardy mica
Trust me, I have exploited that many times :p
wheat bobcat
Seriously, Mask(Load + Purge) is one of the most incredibly overpowered Function combinations in the game
It deals so much damage and makes you invulnerable
Especially if you have Void() as a passive
white solar
Yes Purge of any kind is a great function against the dogs
because it slows them down, reducing their main strength (speed)
hardy mica
So... this is a problem. I have two cheerleaders with self shield and a creep being shielded by them. How do I attack them? O_o
white solar
Personally I think Jaunt()+Purge() is op because you can spam jaunt while purges fly out of you
white solar
So... this is a problem. I have two cheerleaders with self shield and a creep be...
what are your functions?
usually they have breaks in shielding
like, they'll stop every once in a while iirc
signal nymph
So... this is a problem. I have two cheerleaders with self shield and a creep be...
Theri shielding will end

Yea, I just noticed that. That really freaked me out to say the least
hardy mica
what are your functions?
Right now I have Crash, Breach, Load, and Mask as my main functions. My upgrades are Help and Ping on Breach, Purge on load and Switch on Mask.
Tbh, switch isn't doing much with masl
Oh, and Jaunt is my passive
The less time I am vulnerable, the better
I wasn't expecting to have the process affect my turn(). I am curious to see if they are able to mess with it in other ways.

and also Help in it of itself is meh, I think they made it for players new to Turn-based RPGs.
taking 4MEMs and it's only usefulness is having a dog that barks for 75ish , and destroys cells.
