distortion, pitch shifting, maybe even audio compression, etc.

formal temple
#

yeah i figured that. i listened to the raw audio some more and it sounds like it's a combination of tuning and two separately pitched tracks of the same audio

#

or i guess one if you have a vst that does that

#

thank you for your advice!!

still zealot
#

no prob man

#

I'm no audio expert I'm just a nerd

#

the double pitch sounds super likely

#

cause that would also be in line with the process taking away the self

noble portal

man I've got ALL this dialogue I wanna share with you guys but it's like... a lot. And it's a fic wip so I don't think it's really the bets thing to post in #fan-works

#

I just wanna gush, I love writing really charged dialogue

#

I just got transistor for free from a friend, but I’m not sure when it saves?

#

I noticed the save icon appeared once I entered one of those upgrade points, but then once I quit and opened the game again later it didn’t seem to have saved?

shrewd root
#

In theory it saves every time you change areas and after using an Access Point

#

so is there a way to get my hands on a red vinyl figure anymore

#

or am i just out of luck

inland mirage
#

think we're out of luck unfortunately

severe linden
#

😦

#

The original thing was like $30 and the resells on ebay are like $150

#

don't think i'll be getting one smh

signal nymph
#

There were figures. Aww I wish I got some

severe linden
#

looked like this

#

it's just too perfect

signal nymph
#

That's sick

#

If anyone has a 3d printer they could print their own figurine

#

And paint it

severe linden
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

signal nymph
#

Are there figurines for their other games?

severe linden
#

Don't think so.

signal nymph
#

A Jodi figurine would be sick as well

#

I would love to get a small Transistor blade and have it on top of my desk

#

would love to get a transistor blade and hold in my hands the brush with which to paint the surface of human civilization. and also to have on top of my desk

Agreed

i have the transistor usb which i put on my desk

I had the Transistor USB at one point and then it disappeared into the void.

That was a sad day.

I just want a 1:1 scale model of the Transistor so I can flex my superiority-

#

By studying the environment around Red and the process around her, I don't think the Transistor itself is really that big
But I would also love to get one too. and one on top of my desk

signal nymph
#

Big angry sword want revenge

wheat bobcat
#

Honestly I want an animated series just about Transistor's world.

#

Like a detective series or something in that world, because there's so many unique premises that just get me so invested in the world.

#

Like Timeout with it's 'time as currency' premise.

formal estuary
#

Agreed

#

I want to see more stuff about Transistor

wheat bobcat
#

Honestly Transistor and Timeout would be able to blend so well. You've already got a world where everyone is made from code, who's not to say that the time their systems have support is used as currency? So you're using days and years for transactions.

formal estuary
#

What's Timeout?

wheat bobcat
#

It's a really small indie game but it's a good one. Basically this society uses lifetime as a currency and this dude's dishing out fake time that rapidly expires and will kill whoever has it. It's a very interesting premise.

formal estuary
wheat bobcat
#

Probably lol

#

Anyway one of the things I tend to look for is unique premises. Sure, there's been plenty of computer worlds before, but the way it is in Transistor is so unique and has so much flare to it that I can't help but get entangled.

formal estuary
#

That gives me the steampunk feels from the bioshock series

#

Imma play it

wheat bobcat
#

Yeah it's pretty schnice

formal estuary
#

prob going to add it in my list of concurrently playing games

#

Steampunk and Cyberpunk

#

my fav artstyles

wheat bobcat
#

Yea. They're great.

#

Vaporwave too.

formal estuary
#

Too?

#

I need to play it right after my games

wheat bobcat
#

I meant aesthetics, sorry

Haha, But surely it was cool till lasted!

#

Does the middle circle flash while using it?

#

I wish I can have one like that!

keen karma
#

It does not flash, no

noble portal
#

heh, sadly no. It's all rubberized

wheat bobcat
#

I just realized.
The Transistor could be made into a speaker so easily, with the circle being the center dome and just lighting up with the bass.

oh god yes

Extra 250% stealth damage

I need a second Get() so that I can try a similar build but with Breach(Get()) at max range

junior lagoon

I mean

#

you do know you can use Get() to group them up ahead of time

#

:P

shrewd root
#

Oh, that's fair. I honestly don't know why I didn't think of that ha ha

#

Anyway, I'm sure I could go much higher, too, once I get 2 copies of all functions

This is just the first Backdoor I came across in my first recursion

I love that the game says "DO YOU EVEN READ" if you try to overkill with like 8 attacks

my favourite of those is the "YOU'RE MEAN"

#

@wheat bobcat yo, played TimeOut
as you said, really interesting premise (gives me sorta transistor or reverse transistor plot), and I enjoyed the artstyle and design

#

What?

formal estuary
#

I don't recognize her (if she is there anyway)

#

Has Red been Zag's fan in the stands all along?

Yall I finally beat that Spine

I'm feeling invincible 😂 also this game keeps getting better and better like omg

I'm obsessed man

Great job, that’s a fun fight!

it really was lol @cunning widget

formal estuary
#

Found out that if you manage to eliminate all the Youngladies in their own room, Mr.Nobody will say "You're something else you know that?"

#

this game is still awesome even after the 4th time

junior lagoon
#

I made an attempt at that, my first run

#

was a bit too close to dying so I decided to make a break for it

formal estuary
#

and the cluckers at the empty set will "clap" for you if you kept humming

#

and also Void Mask Cull(load) deals aaa ton of damage

white solar
#

I knew about the younglady room thing but I didn't know about the cluckers. That's cool af

formal estuary
#

I'm going to send a streamble link to demonstrate that

#

It's like imgur but for vids

cold trout
#

omg I'd forgotten this bit, it's so cool dusa

formal estuary
#

Ikr?

cold trout
#

yeah, half the time I spend on transistor I'm just... taking in the sights xD there's so much to notice dusa friendly

formal estuary
#

I love Transistor's art because it's setting is a Cyberpunk one!

cold trout
#

never thought of that haha, my brain always went "transistorpunk" 🤣

formal estuary
#

The buildings, the ground, the whole Cloudbank is awesome

cold trout
#

mhmm, it's such a cool concept

#

and the little private beach for red to relax (and train aslkdj), I always love going there :D

formal estuary
#

the Sandbox

cold trout
#

it was the whole art style that got me interested in the game in the first place cell I saw someone reblog gifs and I was instantly 👀 👀 👀

#

yes alskdj can you tell I haven't replayed the game this year? xD

formal estuary
#

Also, You can get Paperboats in the sandbox.

#

just to get you excited to Recursion your save

#

the soundtracks is what get me excited in the game

cold trout
#

yess I always go there to like.. just put on the songs playing xD and play with the little doggo friendly

formal estuary
#

Luna

cold trout
#

just finished a fight? hmm time to go chillax with sword boyfriend and listen to some tunes, may play with luna too if we're not too tired xD

formal estuary
#

and go to a door and delete some process

cold trout
#

god, I love that he (huh, does supergiant have an official name to call sword bf?) just went "oh nice! a doggie! I'll call her luna :D"

cold trout
formal estuary
#

I call him Mr.Nobody but you can call what'd you want

cold trout
#

I've seen that name and boxer I think too, I always go sword bf xD

formal estuary
#

Do you know that when you play Paperboats in the music player he says "might be my favorite" and it caught me way off guard

cold trout
#

I thought supergiant had a secret name for mysterious bf with dreamy voice, guess not xD

#

I am not sure if I knew that, but I love that little detail cell

formal estuary
#

One thing for sure, Boxer has the same voice as Hades himself

#

which is crazy tbh

cold trout
#

when he says those things to red I always go into Old Man Clutching Heart Meme mode

#

haha yeah xD I'm always listening harder to hades because of that xD

and the narrator :3

I’m in the middle of my 4th (I think?) playthrough and feel like I’m just now starting to get a grip on combining all the different functions. Kind of surprised how deep the system gets once all the doubles are unlocked.

i don’t know if it’s still on my computer tho pensivecowboy

I need to see it

#

Thats so hilarious!

I like how the "Look at all those chicken" just fits perfectly in here

#

i think i made it cuz we were talking about how royce would just adopt a bunch of cluckers if he could

deft cipher
#

is it just me or is the extended soundtrack and she shines is nowhere to be found in the music files

#

oh wait

#

it's made into one big folder now

ancient thicket
#

so i downloaded transistor because it was on sale on switch

#

then i watched the zero punctuation review

#

and i'm wondering what supergiants' design room looks like

shrewd root
#

I haven't watched the ZP review myself, but in general I take his opinions with a very large grain of salt

full peak
#

He's an entertainer first and a reviewer second.

#

He is excessively critical and admits regularly he's judging games by his personal preferences, less often on whether they've executed well.

runic solar
#

I’ve also heard he’s been...not great in the past

still zealot
#

I think he's hysterical, whether or not I agree with the actual review

formal estuary
#

His review's hilarious nonetheless

full peak
#

Usually.

runic solar
#

The humor was very not my speed, tbh, but fair

formal estuary
#

Meh

#

"Who does our hair? it's fabulous!"

cunning widget
#

So I’m tinkering with trying to create uber powerful builds now. I beat the final boss quite handily recently using Breach [+Get] to reel him in, then finish up with Cull [+Void+Mask] for a ton of damage. What are some of your favorite function combos?

formal estuary
#

I'd say snuck Crash in Breach

#

makes them vulnerable and susceptible to more damage

main notch
#

Get(crash()) Void(ping(spark()) Mask(tap()) and cull(ping()) is my nuke build

formal estuary
#

thats a post recursion one

#

or NG+

main notch
#

Can remove ping from either cull or void

#

I just have it in there because it cheapens the abilities

#

Which allows me to double void

formal estuary
#

You can have load in Cull

#

waayyy more damage

main notch
#

I mean I've onshot spine ||and Royce|| with it

#

I mean health gate it

cunning widget
#

Thanks, I’ll give those builds a shot.

#

Definitely intrigued about Load. I haven’t had much success using it, so interested to try stacking it with Cull.

formal estuary
#

Load itself isn't enough

shrewd root
#

The first time through, my one-shot build was Void(Flood(),Crash()), Mask(), and Breach(Get(),Ping()). Also Jaunt(Spark(),Purge()) but that's not part of the one-shot sequence

#

And the most damage I've done in Practice post-recursion was with Get(), Void(Crash()), Mask(Mask()), and Cull(Ping(),Load())

rose plover
#

Alright I'm off lol 🙈

main notch
#

What does a recursed mask(mask()) do?

rose plover
#

It turns u invisible or something like that

#

It's kinda handy

#

I could be phrasing that wrong

junior lagoon
#

it buffs the bonus damage you get

primal harbor
#

So maybe I'm misremembering something, but I came to the realization last night that nobody in Transistor wears glasses. Do you think thay prescription glasses are just... not a thing in Cloudbank? I mean, would anyone be visually impaired in a city where people can be whatever they want?

noble portal
#

Beta Grant had glasses iirc and Niola has a monocle? But there was some dev mention that "all physical illness" had been eradicated in Cloudbank, which could theoretically include visual impairment (bc other than an affect, which Niola's likely is, you could just "stat" yourself to have good vision if we assume citizens have total control over their personage)

#

(personally I think I look incredibly stupid without my glasses but I also feel like people who wear frames just for fashion are kinda missing the point so idk)

#

notably other instances of permanent injury are present; Henter Jallaford only has one eye. Take from that what you will volfredthink

#

now that I'm overthinking this, maybe Niola's monocle has a HUD or something for work and that's why she wears it

signal nymph
#

I would like to think that they could repair the missing eye, but he kept it as either a reminder or just to look cool

noble portal
#

probably the former, if I get the correct vibe from him

opaque agate
#

hello, got hades and joined this discord channel but was wondering what transistor is?

signal nymph
#

there 2nd game that is a strategy action game with a large emphasis on story based in a utopia / dystopian future world heavily inspired by technology and a unqiue combat system where all your weapons are also weapon modifiers and passive modifers at the same time, each uniquely interacting with each other

#

It is literally my favorite game of all time and I would highly suggest you get it when you could

opaque agate
#

ok, I'll add it to my wishlist.

signal nymph
#

I would watch a review first, but it is really good

noble portal
#

I would go into it blind tbh but personal preference I suppose

signal nymph
#

I would go into it blind, but not totally blind. You dont wanna play a game from just a description you got from a mega fanboy of the game

opaque agate
#

I'll try going in blind.

#

its only 3 dollars so I don't have a lot to lose.

signal nymph
#

true

rose plover
#

It's really great :)

rose plover
#

The man are kinda hard I don't like the fact it can recharge lol yet also invisible lol. I'll get it eventually

#

I need a break 4 now 😂

white solar
#

For fighting men, my best advice is to have some defenses for when you're out of turn. Maybe a Purge()+ Jaunt so it is usable in Turn recovery. Otherwise you wont have anything to defend yourself against haircuts

noble portal
#

something to fire out of Turn that isn't just a movement ability is really helpful for keeping Haircuts off your back. Switch is a fun one for this bc they go chase their masters instead

shrewd root
#

I found Jaunt(Purge(),Spark()) to be very good at dealing with Haircuts

noble portal
#

oho, spicy 😛

twin summit
#

my strategy the first time through was spamming Crash(Jaunt)

who needs turn :p

#

Thanx guys!

storm zenith
#

I just finished transistor and

#

Wow

#

This is their 2nd game?

full peak
#

Yup.

storm zenith
#

Im starting to understand the hype behind these guys

#

That last part is so good omg

full peak
#

I saw an interview with Greg a few years back, right around when Pyre released, and he went into their work philosophy.

#

They take ideas they like, stuff they've been wanting to try, and put it together and see what works.

#

They don't stop and try to box a game in by genre conventions, they look at a mechanic and ask "Does this work?"

#

The Marie Kondo approach to game design, if you will.

#

"Does Turn() bring joy? Yes."

storm zenith
#

Evindently they re really good at that

full peak
#

When you have a happy and well-functioning crew that doesn't stretch themselves beyond their limits and they all happen to be pretty damn good at what they do, you will get excellence.

storm zenith
#

I ve only finished hades and transistor but each one is so clever in their own way

full peak
#

No crunch, no watching snuff footage so the animations of how someone dies is IRL accurate despite how traumatic that would be.

storm zenith
#

its crazy how smart their game designing is

storm zenith
#

i ve seen devs that are really good at hitting certain aspects of a game but somehow these guys hit it all

formal estuary
#

or even watch

I think it was in PC Gamer.

Oh, I though it was an hour long like those from NoClip

i love that article

I tweeted at Greg about it and had a little exchange. friendly

meager forge
#

SGGG’s next game will be a metal pit fighting game

#

And you have to win the fight and propose a game and after you win the fight it turns into game dev tycoon

full peak
meager forge
#

But every game element you suggest requires more fighting

#

And as you progress in developing the game you have to start fighting using the game elements

#

so you have to develop a game that’s both useful for combat and for pleasing customers

Too galaxy-brained. shadefear

Well I've got words about shooters on a controller anyway.

formal estuary
#

I've played bioshock infinite on a controller
the thing is my beautiful 4k computer doesn't handle games that well, So when I downscale the mouse just goes way too fast for me, so I had to bite the bullet and use the good ol' DS4 to run it

delicate arrow
#

I'm still chuckling about how, after a game about how people react to unspeakable loss, and then a game about the inevitability of death, and then a game about redemption and second chances in a pseudo-purgatory, they finally just set a game literally in hell.

#

They went there. Dang.

formal estuary
#

This is kinda #supergiant-games ish, but I agree with you.
How do they make a game that is different from it’s predecessor yet looks equally beautiful and amazing

#

never knew I would love action(or turn based) rpgs let alone loving a studio’s entire gamelist

flat quest
#

do u think its fair to say ff7r ripped off transistor's turn based action rpg niche

#

(this isnt serious, but itd be funny if an indie game inspired a new genre)

stone shoal
#

I don't think so, heavily inspired by it though maybe

formal estuary

Slowing time and doing the actions

woohoo!

does transistor have valid straights please say eys

yes

junior lagoon

wdym?

final helm
#

The main relationship is straight and intensely valid, if I read your question correctly

agile lichen
#

Why would that ever matter? O . o

final helm
#

Because people may be burned out by bad romance in fiction and may not want to engage?

stone shoal
#

Honestly imo it should matter more if the relationship is healthy or not over the orientation of it

cinder crystal
#

neverming these do are making me cry

#

i love them so much wtf\

noble portal
#

Red and Boxer are stupidly wholesome

cinder crystal
#

also i really wanna be gentle about this but sometimes writing in media is terribly misogynistic, and straight couples can fall into awful tropes!

this isnt the case here of course

does transistor have difficulty options besides limiters? just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything

formal estuary

nope

nah it doesnt

cinder crystal
#

i still can't get adjusted to the fact that i can't dash shadegrief shadegrief

formal estuary
#

use Jaunt()

cinder crystal
#

it's called transistor because both Red and Auden are trans. thank you

inland mirage
#

i always put jaunt on one of my other functions

#

red walks fast enough for me

manic lava
#

it's another name for the transistor. people often use boxer or blue also

signal nymph
#

Ah, didnt know auden was a name for it

full peak
#

I think you all mean Mr. Nobody.

signal nymph
#

I just call him unknown

noble portal
#

the one true personality test, what do you call the man in the transistor? XD

junior lagoon
#

I'm leaning towards Boxer right now, though I also like Mr. Nobody

#

Boxer is just faster to type, if nothing else

cold trout
#

boxer, it's always the first name/word that comes to mind when I think of him

noble portal
#

Boxer when I'm talking about him, the others have contextual uses 😛

zenith beacon
#

i just call him blue

#
  • da-ba-dee-da-ba-daaaaa *
#

cause the transistor is blue
and his attacks are blue
and his pic in the codex is kinda-sorta blue

junior lagoon
#

and all his world is blue

#

inside and outside

zenith beacon
#

and since the protagonists name is Red i might as well stick with this all the way

wheat bobcat
#

I prefer Auden because it's pretty

inland mirage
#

I've always been a Mr Nobody person

keen jungle
#

i usually use boxer but auden is pretty

formal estuary
#

Never thought about naming him Auden

#

but It's alright, the more the merrier

white solar
#

so the options are Auden, Unknown, Mr Nobody, Blue, and Boxer. Am I missing anything?

formal estuary

"the dude who protected Red"

Where did boxer originate from again?

in all seriousness though, I think it's a nickname the community came up with from seeing the wraps around his arms and fists

or just a bodyguard for red

cinder crystal
#

the gameplay is so fun omg

zenith beacon
#

@white solar in early versions of the game he actually was supposed to be a boxer

#

and he was the main character

noble portal
#

“Boxer” actually comes from some game files iirc, I think a lot of his dialogue has that in the file names?

#

The same way a lot of Red’s reactions and animations are named with “Muse”

#

Also iirc “Auden” was what the dev team nicknamed him (apparently they have a tendency to nickname characters among themselves, supposedly The Kid had a “name” that never went public bc it was just what the devs called him)

white solar
#

I think Auden was also in one of the game files

signal nymph
#

If you attack his dead body in the beginning are there voice lines?

formal estuary
#

can you even do that?

signal nymph
#

I dont know, but there is code that points too it

noble portal
#

Yikes... I mean there probably are lines for it but why would you? 🥺

both is equally good,

#

it boils down to how you like to play it, KBM or controllers?

junior lagoon
#

I used kbm for my playthrough

#

Well, mostly keyboard, actually

formal estuary
#

If you happen to have kbm as your playstyle, enable instant fire in the settings

#

makes it easier to cast functions without pressing it's respective number and M2 to do it

junior lagoon
#

Oh I just used the scroll wheel

formal estuary
#

or that , too

junior lagoon
#

There is a crazy amount of input redundancy and I love it

formal estuary
#

I used controller mid-way through the game , I was confused af

noble portal
#

I played solely controller and it felt pretty slinky to me. UI was a tiny bit clunky but everything else was just fine

signal nymph
#

Same, I used controller, and the u can pick up the smallest movements, but I prefer it more

vocal ether
#

I tried keyboard and mouse, but I just... kinda hate it in isometric formats. I prefer the controller.

keyboard + mouse, it was weird at first but once I got used to it, everything went smoothly

|| Starting the game a second time to hear ROYCE instead of Auden telling me " We're not gonna get away with this, Red, are we?" messed me up||

formal estuary
#

ikr?

cinder crystal
#

I want Auden and Red to star in a fighting game together

#

I think they should.I also want to see them in a detective film

#

I just love them so much

#

are asher and grant..yknow

formal estuary
#

that game is way short (half an hour of playtime)

cinder crystal
#

that sounds so cool!!!

#

Also how do i get Luna to be my friend

formal estuary
#

Luna's only in Sandbox

#

when using Help() there is only a Fetch

#

which I can prob think of as Luna

cinder crystal
#

ohhh, i see!

#

When i use help with Jaunt i spawn copies of myself

formal estuary
#

I make Jaunt my main function

#

don't blame me , I came from overwatch and I main dash heroes

cinder crystal
#

NO DW ME TOO

#

I used Jaunt with help and disrupt

#

ran away while dealing poison damage

formal estuary
#

I'd use Jaunt with Spark so It help me remove the shield on the cells

#

yes, I turn on the limiters

cinder crystal
#

I think my best function was like

#

Breach with Void and...ping? So much damage

formal estuary
#

I channel my inner anger with 3 voids and cull

#

boom, final boss? non existent

cinder crystal
#

LMAOOOO

#

Replaying and I'm very excited about the spike in difficulty

formal estuary
#

3 voids and cull(load) will make the game so much better

#

I use both breach and ping as passives ( I play around Turn() as much as possible)

#

I'm a sucker outside of Turn()

cinder crystal
#

Ooooooo

#

Sounds so cool

#

I'll try it out!

noble portal
#

FWIW There is a voice line that can trigger from Boxer when you summon a Fetch with Help(), and he either asks if or declares he will call the dog Luna (don’t remember exactly which)

junior lagoon
#

"Luna" is from the backdoor, iirc

noble portal
#

it is mainly but I swear I heard him say it before I'd even hit a backdoor in my latest play

I could well be wrong though

#

One thing I appreciate a lot about Asher and Royce is that there’s (imo at least) a very slight disconnect between our perception of them and their voices? I always get the impression of Asher as “the little guy” of the group, but his voice is deeper and he speaks with so much gravitas (learned from Grant?) than Royce does. You can feel how he’s trying to keep it together and be serious and professional even while dealing with everything that’s going on. And the little breaks in his composure hit so much harder for it.

By comparison, I initially felt Royce’s voice didn’t suit him at all (on my first play I actually found him kind of annoying). Subsequent play-throughs I’ve since warmed up to him a lot. But there’s something to be said about how he immediately shatters any remaining mystique the Camerata had by nonstop rambling at you the second he’s aware of your presence. Like Asher it’s apparent he’s struggling to keep himself together but it’s an entirely different method, it’s like he keeps talking to keep himself distracted instead

formal estuary
#

So it means that Grant is what kept the camerata and perhaps the whole cloudbank at bay and kept it from falling apart?

final helm
noble portal
#

I mean, Grant really does seem like he’d be the voice of reason, even without the personal connections. The history and relationships there just made losing him that much harder for them

flat quest
#

i mean, brothers can have different skin tones

#

i dont get ur point

final helm
#

My point is that the fact that they look wildly different already makes the occam's razor option "they have the same surname because they're married" and not "they have the same surname because they're blood related", especially in a drawn canon where character designs are planned to convey information (vs real life where things sometimes just are). The game's text then states that they met relatively recently, leaving "same surname bc married" as the only option.

Just me, approximately 0.2 seconds after hearing Ashers voice

#

I guess i'll do a reverse of what's happened to you

cinder crystal
#

what if i drew red and auden as hades npcs who act as zagreus's reassuring parents and give him buffs

formal estuary
#

"Hey son, we got you something" and they sing a lullaby into his ears , thus giving him a buff that allows him to become stronger whenever he hears another one

cinder crystal
#

THAT'S SO CUTE...

#

I was thinking about Red making him able to slow enemies down to replicate Turn () and Auden giving him more attack because he's a boxer

formal estuary
#

Make him have Help() passive

#

Which at a certain moment after doing insane combos, he can cast Kill() which deals a ton of aoe damage

cinder crystal
#

Auden:

Zagreus: ACHILLES SIR

#

Cause of death: The Process

#

also random thing. Does anyone know the name of the song that plays during the first boss fight (the one with 3 phases and gives the dog ability after beating it). That song is simply too beautiful to not know the name of.

#

and yes, i called it "the dog ability". I am far too tired rn to bother calling abilities by their proper names

twin summit
#

in circles?

stone shoal
#

It's In Circles at the beginning but over the course of the fight becomes _n C_rcl_s @bright axle

formal estuary
#

the music shifts from Red singing to Sybil singing during the fight

stone shoal
#

I think they asked for the name of the song(s) that play during the fight nx friendly

formal estuary
#

oh,

#

Alright

stone shoal
#

it's all good, words are hard friendly

cinder crystal
#

Is there a reason i can't use Help () before the Sybil boss?

#

I have it in my fourth slot

ashen inlet
#

You can only use it in battle, and I don’t think you can use it during a turn()

#

If you use it outside of combat, the poor puppy just explodes

formal estuary
#

you can cast it outside of turn, and then in turn you can control it

#

like make it move to where, and Bark (which deals 70ish damage)

cinder crystal
#

oh thank u!!

white solar
#

An fun combo i found is Help() + (Spark(), Cull())

#

Cull makes Luna do 75(?) damage when they pass through enemies and you get two Lunas running around damaging everyone during turn. It helps that walking for them takes very little turn usage

signal nymph
#

Oh, that's nice

#

My favorite is Breach(jaunt, anything) as you can just go around stun locking them outside of turn()

How many levels r in Transistor ?

#

#

But alas lol

#

I looked on steam

signal nymph
#

The max is 30

ashen inlet
formal estuary
#

Yes

#

oversaw this one as I use buttons to use it

#

I think it was Q or something

ashen inlet
#

Btw cull() with void() and ping() absolutely shredded the boss

formal estuary
#

Cull is op , don't @ me

ashen inlet
#

I had a few passives including breach() and after quite a few full retries on the final boss, I tried that setup and literally didn’t need any extra functions for giving me makeshift extra lives

#

Speaking of which, if you have extra room in your setup at the boss, you can just put something like mask() in a slot and then not use it (because it won’t help you against the boss)

formal estuary
#

Mask is too good

ashen inlet
#

Mask is great in regular gameplay

formal estuary
#

you cast it during in the middle of your combos to deal insane damage

ashen inlet
#

So is switch

formal estuary
#

so you mask, and when you cast the other functions you unmask thus dealing more damage

#

and higher than usual

ashen inlet
#

I had switch on my cull during the last few rooms and it saved my life

ashen inlet
formal estuary
#

switch as a passive is really cool for starters

#

like starter starter

white solar
#

Unpopular opinion: Cull is good for a first playthrough, but it's not the best attack function because it's slow and Turn-heavy. It's not great for non-Turn scenarios

noble portal
#

I hardly ever used Cull. You get it really late in your first run so I didn't have much time to get used to it, and I didn't like how intensive it was on my planning so I never used it outside of unlocking its information

white solar
#

The reason why it worked so well for me my first run was because I figured out that I could use Bounce()+Get() in Turn planning for luring enemies to me and targeting the Cull() to an empty space in front of me to kill everyone who was pulled into the area. That's when i really appreciated the beauty of the Turn system

How does he have the technology to make a tv hover freely in mid-air, but still uses the frame of something from a decade ago in our world?! I can’t imagine how far in the future transistor is set

How did he even get a tv that old

I feel like the frame probably houses the flying bits

It’s so chunky

also for the aesthetic, bc our man is pretty extra, let's be honest

Wouldn’t he have at least made the color better?

Hey guys was listening the soundtrack and thought I might share with you this. Listen to Rave Tapes from Mogwai. This is an album that as a really nice vibe and not far from the one of Transistor !

Don’t know if it was an inspiration or something but i thought it might interest you

#

This is kinda close (like Radiohead, too)

I've yet to see a music that hits in the right spot for me

same, try as I might, nothing will really get close to the Transistor OST's super unique style

the steam sale goes bye bye

I mean, I highly recommend, and would argue it's best to go into Transistor totally blind but that's just how I am about most games anyway

formal estuary
#

If your fav artstyle is dystopian cyberpunk I suggest you give it a try

noble portal
#

The game is gorgeous, the OST is fantastic, the combat is really unique. The game itself is on the shorter side but it doesn't overstay its welcome, which is important

#

it's not dystopian tho I'd call it more like neon art deco but ye

formal estuary
#

c'mon, robots bad and fight you

quiet cape
#

i know the music is good. i've listened to every video game soundtrack i swear

#

if that's not dystopian enough , idk what is

a robot invasion, the society itself is pretty utopian on the surface

yeah but take one sharpy sword and the whole world is going to reset

#

I've bought food I did not like for more than that so I'd say go for it XD

quiet cape
#

alright prolly won't play it till i finish hades tho

formal estuary
#

the game is really short compared to hades

#

like (assuming your current play time is 40 hours in Hades) the game is 1/6th of that

quiet cape
#

i'm only 15 hours in

cold trout
#

I've played it so many times I have no idea how long it took me the first playthrough asldjasd

formal estuary
#

I don't know about Hades' potential "reaching to the end and new game +/ new profile minimum hours" playtime

cold trout
#

so every time you guys say it's short ish I'm like "that sounds... true. I think thanthink "

formal estuary
#

But i've seen people really really really liking it so much, so I'm assuming that

quiet cape
#

took the guy at ign who was supposed to review it like 70 hours I think

formal estuary
#

both transistor and bastion can be finished in one day if you own that speedrun boon

#

and only spam the dash/dodge button

quiet cape
#

every game can prolly be completed in a day

#

even persona 5 which a hecking 120 hours can be completed in about 20 if you know what you are doing

formal estuary
#

(I really want to play Persona 5, guess I'm going to give it a pass since I've bought the whole 4 SGGames)

quiet cape
#

i recommend persona 5 but only if you are willing to sit through a bunch of dialogue hiding a great story

#

"take over" is pulling me in

supergiant was actually my first time getting into isometric camera games and dungeon crawlers in general so i didn't know if i'd be any good at it but I had to see the story

#

(Ironically enough) I don't LoL as much as I was before because of the SGGames (and a bunch of other games but still, SGGames is good friendly )

#

I don't want this chat to be too SGGy so we don't go to another chat

#

point is, transistor good in everything, really entertaining experience even if it was short

left roost
#

^^truee

#

i like that its short bc it gives it a lot of replayability

#

I can realistically replay it more than once without worrying about logging in like 60+ hours

#

(though the story is so good you always crave more anyways)

formal estuary
#

My thirst for more transistor lore can never be quenched

i felt that 😭

I need to complete every function file still

It was an accident! Really! What do you mean messing around with the reality-bending robots was a bad idea? Seemed fine at the time.

So the lesson from this one is: report the missing stuff to their respective establishment

Darren Korb is my no. 1 on spotify because of transistor (and Bastion and a bit of the others). Other artists need to step up their game man

signal nymph
#

True. And the dedication for pyre, recording the same song like 10 times but with slightly different lyrics that the entire thing had to be rerecorded and that it perfectly meshes with the lore is awesome

I just need to say this, my first introduction to SuperGiant was Transistor, and even though I was really bad at video games, I still use the music to help me sleep and just relax. I have the game because even though I didn't enjoy the gameplay, I just loved the music so much.

#

I just had a friend on another server, ping me saying to check out Transistor because I was talking about Hades's music, and I was like... you know me so well... but ha ha you fool I have known of Transistor all along

Oh You Know

formal estuary
#

Dang it, ||that || always gets me

#

also, do you get all the trading cards by spam playing the game or what?, I'm kinda up for playing all profiles twice

You get 3-4 usually just for playing

Gotta do other stuff for more

truly never get sick of the transistor ost

#

even all the non-vocal tracks

#

every song is just so good

formal estuary
#

Gateless is kinda slow yet energetic

left roost
#

true

#

old friends came on my Spotify shuffle and it was a vastly different vibe from my last song but certainly not unwelcome

#

the transistor ost is so like

#

perfectly bittersweet in tone to match the game

Blank canvas

is sooo

#

so much buildup leading up to that

FACTS

#

can't listen to paper boats though

#

i'll cry everytime it comes on

#

if you ever find me listening to paper boats outside of the game something is wrong

formal estuary
#

whenever i'm in the middle of some work and I run my playlist on and I hear paperboats I just go thru my work very fast

#

it's like "I say We're winning" but with work

#

Actually, paper boats is what made me play the game tbh
I was just flinging thru my timeline when I heard this masterpiece

left roost
#

oh nice

#

i wouldn't let myself listen to the soundtrack outside of the game bc i wanted to hear it for the first time as i progressed though I did buy the ost before I finished it

#

darren is one amazing musician

zenith beacon
#

and voice actor too

left roost
#

TRUE

#

also ashley's voice

#

red's singing just captures my full attention everytime

formal estuary
#

Ashley's voice tho

zenith beacon
#

although - can you imagine how they pitched the game to ashley?

#

like - i can imagine amir or someone else saying to her "hey - you wanna voice our main protagonist in our new game!"

#

"hell yeah i do!"

#

"she's mute tho"

left roost
#

LOL

zenith beacon
#

"oh..."

#

easiest va job ever

#

simply voice a muted character

#

heck - even i can do that

#

gotta cash in on my hidden talent of...
sitting quietly and not talking to people

formal estuary
left roost
#

true

formal estuary
#

and hum 🎵

#

Hyeaaaaa, transistor sounds

left roost
#

that was what kinda confused me a lil at first bc they said her voice was gone but she still had like, combat sounds and grunts and screams, she just didn't form words

#

but ig technically she can't speak so her voice is a little null and void

zenith beacon
#

there we go - there's my obligatory transistor pun

formal estuary
#

well played on that one

formal estuary
#

and put it inside the transistor or something

left roost
#

yeah thats what i was thinking too as i advanced further in the game

#

i always think abt how much stress that must have been for her

#

singing and music is her whole life and now she can't even say her own name

formal estuary
#

"wth I was singing a moment ago"

left roost
#

LMAO

#

what if you wanted to mind your own business and make music

#

but the Camerata said

#

no

#

HONESTLY

#

my first impression of transistor was so like

#

it was positive but I misinterpreted the start of the story entirely lol

#

I did not watch any gameplay or trailers before I began it so I had no context except girl with talking sword

#

girl is mute, sword is not

#

that is all

formal estuary
#

I was like that until I hummed at the empty set

left roost
#

that part was so lovely

#

tbh i didn't know that ||she knew the man in the sword at the start, I thought the sword was like a separate person/entity and the man was someone she had to kill for whatever reason||

#

||so when the sword talks about skipping town and covering your tracks i thought we were tryna get away with murder LMAO||

the way red and Mr nobody's romance is written is just so

refreshing

and lovely and perfect

#

when he calls her his star 😭 i lose it

signal nymph
#

Hes just so caring! He tries to help even when he doesnt have a body

formal estuary
#

ikr?

#

he even roots for red whenever she does something spectacular

#

like when you were near the spine and you complete an encounter , he goes "wooooo"

#

I still have the vid to that

signal nymph
#

I love the speed test voicelines, "Leh..."
"Well that was quick. Good Job"

left roost
#

i like when they're ||approaching the spine|| and he's like "I love you so much, Red... You know that, right? It's true... It's true! ... It's true."

signal nymph
#

So cute

left roost
#

THE WOOOO

#

LOL

signal nymph
#

And the interactions with Luna, adorable

left roost
#

trueee

#

the entire ||spine|| segment of him progressively losing more control over himself yet still rooting her on and reacting to her fights as much as he can is very ingrained in my head

signal nymph
#

hes so cute. Hes loopy and hes just like, "Luv u red ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ hehe ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ "

left roost
#

LMAO

#

its like he's drunk but he just keeps trying so hard to be there for her

literally one of my favorite videogame couples of all time and i just discovered them like 3 months ago

@formal estuary Kraja's right

formal estuary
#

He is! , and I'm not hating it

signal nymph
#

Nice

zenith beacon
#

man - could you imagine if he was like that the whole thing through on NG+?

#

like - on regular playthrough everything goes as always
but on NG+ he's drunk 24/7

#

they would have to re-record all the lines but BOI would it be worth it

#

all the sgg chars i wanna cosplay thankfully don't have overly complicated outfits

The character designs I think are always simple, and it fits with the more cartoony vibe the games give
