#

sandra let me speak to you gilmanangst

#

I'm glad alt f4 works for TW

#

wasn't gonna do a pyrehearts rite without gilman

#

my goat who swims

#

how much time has passed between ||Oralech getting thrown off the mountain|| and us getting found by hedwyn?

sweet wren
#

i havent done the math myself but i think about 8 years according to this (getting image hold on)

#

this

toxic python
#

I really wish there was an extra confirm button before choosing an exile lmao

#

wanted to swap thyphoon bottle to volfred

toxic python
#

ty ty

#

so 8 years without lib rites

#

thank god there's no bloodshed rules stablished lmfao

#

lmfaoooooooo

#

withdrawn lasted 4 dunks on the lib rite

#

their effect didn't even get to appear

#

now goodbye gilman

toxic python
#

I love gilman

#

I must say the withdrawn's theme makes for an amazing atmosphere for the liberation

#

the convo with Berthrude post gilman's liberation is so sweet

toxic python
#

an hilarious side effect of having won every lib rite till this point is that the event where 3 of your members get banishment sickness only 2 actually get affected by it

toxic python
#

Another free +50% boost

#

(pyrehearts)

#

took me a while to notice you start taking notes at some point instead of volfred

#

these are interesting

#

"we heard an agent of volfred was captured the other day, although it doesn't affect us I suppose"

#

hear the soooong of gentle mourning

toxic python
#

||the other triumvirate not showing up is so sad||

#

tho to this day idk the exact trigger for it

young folio
#

it has to do with the amount of times you face them, i think

#

bc i had a run where i very carefully calculated my route so i could lose every single rite, so i didnt have that one

toxic python
#

I see

#

Also when the stars align ~~

#

I really love how easy is to do in one session the last stretch of the game

#

the game zooms throughs the normal rites

#

anyways final lib time

#

I "won"

#

||(threw the rite at last second)||

#

and thus, the SCRIBES HAVE CHOSEN!?

#

Yeah, the Withdrawn and the Essence are by far the hardest with 12 Titans

#

Ti'zo is pretty good against the Crones, while one of the best ways to fight Tamitha is with Pamitha

I just bullied the pyrehearts for my win lol

atomic palm
#

hey does anyone know about any good writing about pyre?

#

i played this game a dummy long while ago but i was pretty awestruck by the blend of world religions present in this game

#

a lot of the writing i've found tends to delve into the game's systems or it's adaptive music

#

but off the top of my head like idk building a world off a titans corpse reminds me a lot of ymir in the norse eddas

#

or soliam murrs path from monarch to saint reminds me a lot of the buddha

#

idk does this exist? is there any chad out there who studies comparative religion or something that wrote about this game?

#

idk pyre and killsixbilliondemons are part of the reason i realized to build good interesting fantasy you cant just read tolkien and call it a day

#

especially when theres so many more interesting wellsprings of inspiration than just medieval europe

So, I've only played the 2 Hades games, so I'm relatively new to Supergiant. But I was looking at some YT gameplay of Pyre, and am I wrong for feeling like I'm looking at a single-player version of "Pokemon Unite" or a similar MOBA?

valid totem
#

oh yeah - pyre and mobas are two completely different things

#

pyre is more of a...
space jam dating sim

#

mixed with oregon trail

#

actually - more of a visual novel than a dating sim
dunno why i said that

#

it's a weird game, but definitely not a moba

Pyre is an RTS

Glad to see I was way off in my description! Sorry for the late reply, though. Anyway, I plan to get this amazing game sometime this weekend, so I'm excited to see for myself!

silent lodge
#

Yup. Definitely magical basketball.

#

And honestly? I am HERE FOR IT.

unkempt igloo
sweet wren
#

this is true

silent lodge
#

How long of a game is it, though? And how replayable is it?

unkempt igloo
sullen arrow
#

Depends on how much you enjoy the magical basketball.

#

For the replayability.

#

There's certainly more story variations to see on second and third playthroughs.

#

But if the gameplay doesn't really catch you, it'll lose a bit of luster on those.

silent lodge
#

Does it have an NG+ of any kind?

#

Or one of those "story never really end" kind of things?

sullen arrow
#

A lot like in Bastion and Transistor. You can tune up the difficulty on subsequent playthroughs earlier.

#

But the story absolutely ends šŸ˜„

unkempt igloo
silent lodge
sullen arrow
#

Ohhh, well I'd absolutely play those first.

#

No offense to Pyre, it's very fun and has a gorgeous story and set of characters.

#

But the gameplay in Bastion and Transistor will feel closer to Hades. (and personally I liked it a lil better)

unkempt igloo
#

idk, i say follow your heart lol

#

Pyre doesn't overstay its welcome, so at the very least the first run should be a rewarding enough venture

#

I got sucked into the versus mode so that's how I play it these days lol

i really like the pyre fanbase cause it swings wildly between extremes

a few weeks ago i was out w a friend and wearing the jodi shirt and we were in a store and the cashier asked if it was from pyre, and he hadn't finished pyre but really enjoyed bastion and transistor and encouraged him to play pyre again, and then immediately after my friend and i left the store sometime said "sick pyre shirt!" as we walked by

#

big w for pyre that day

deft quail
#

thats hype

worn crystal
#

does pyre require being played on NG+ difficulty to get all lore, or no?

sweet wren
#

it shouldnt afiak

toxic python
#

You'll never get all interactions in one playthrough but if you only mean main story then nah

unkempt igloo

so multiple playthroughs at normal is sufficient?

#

Itā€™s very hard trying to explain what kind of game pyre is

sullen arrow
#

I will always say that while the gameplay is hit or miss, the story is exceptional.

#

And the gameplay is still wonderfully done. Even if it's not as addictive (for some people) as their other games, it's still always worth grabbing.

#

SGG always have done well. They know design.

if you haven't seen @deft quail 1v3 someone's entire comp with Gilman or @vestal bluff go hamburgers with a quick throwing Almer.... it's just poetry in motion

unkempt igloo
#

y'all ever get the interaction with ||Hedwyn|| when ||y'all talk about how you get the feeling that "you've done this all before?"||

#

like the implications are kinda nutty and it is never brought up again lol

sweet wren
#

WAIT.

#

YES

#

I REMEMBER THAT

#

THATS SO WEIRD WHAT DID THAT MEAN

#

from what i remember my best guess would be maybe it has to do with ||the thing about the nightwings being reincarnations of the scribes (iirc)|| but still. what

unkempt igloo
#

I'd have to find it again, but I think the order of operations is ||Reader|| can say something like ||"I get the feeling we've done all this before"||, then ||Hedwyn|| goes ||"me too, friend. In fact, sometimes I wonder.... nevermind"||

sweet wren
#

wow

#

yeah that is weird

I also vaguely remember this interaction

hey all

#

y'know there's smt I rly like abt the downside, I dont remember rn if its implied in the book of rites (cant bother to google rn as well šŸ˜‚ ) but it's the impression that... places, or your perception of places, might change. I think the idea of emotional/purgatorial landscape is the perfect excuse when you're doing something like adapting part of the story to a webcomic xD

but bastion did have more tech then pyre iirc so

I think by "chronological" he simply meant by release date PanSweatSmile

Chronologically speaking, I started playing Pyre last night, and since I played Hades first, I was like five head-scratching "who IS that?" minutes in before it finally clicked and I went "THAN?? ā™„ļø āœØ"

I can only assume that people who have been with SGG Since The Beginning felt some kinda way about Hedwyn showing up in Elysium to tell them off? zagshock

As usual I did not and probably will never clock Darren Korb

valid totem
#

I have no idea what you mean

rugged hinge
#

Same VA for Hedwyn and Than

#

And Darren Korb is Rukey, not that I could tell

sweet wren

There is actually no one in Pyre that I don't completely adore; I just met Ti'zo. I am still fully confused by playing the actual Rites, so hopefully I have time to get good before they get hard.

So far, if anything about Hades/Hades II has spoiled me that I miss in Pyre it's the extensive voice work. But to Pyre's credit, the world is so richly detailed that I'm pretty well sucked in anyway.

ok full marks to Pyre for using storytelling choices to make my life really, really hard
like
it is not often that I have to make a choice like "choose which one goes free" - a good thing! with narrative weight! - and find it genuinely impossible because I so enjoy talking to all of them / finding out more about their individual story that I don't know which one to let go

#

Ok SOMEONE needs to tell me to keep playing Pyre instead of what I'm currently doing which is "lie outside and hope I am rained on" which is how sad I am at the thought of losing them
I am told the game has branching paths and letting them go makes the ending better
Well what about MY ending with NO HEDWYN? shadegrief

sweet wren
#

ooooooo you wanna play pyre so baaaad oooo

#

also im assuming you mean you liberated him? bc if so then i will say youll get to see him again at the end,,

# sweet wren also im assuming you mean you liberated him? bc if so then i will say youll get ...

True story
I chose him for liberation, won the Rite,
Told a friend "omg I chose Hedwyn, but I'll get him back, right?"
And she goes "....... uhm. no."
And I screamed
Restarted the Rite
Chose based on a truly miserable metric, who I'm the worst with, lost the Rite anyway, my heart no longer in it
So while Hedwyn is still with me I am just generally assuming he's disappointed in me now

NOOOOO

#

im sure hes not,,,

Than would be
But Hedwyn is nicer

Is it one of those games that's different to extremely different depending on who you liberate / if at all / in what order?

Missing a convo and not even getting the option is tough. If Supergiant programed the game to delete System32 if someone selects the in-game option to leave her behind it would be justified

#

I'm starting play pyre. Is there any way to disabled "attack to the side where's cursor" thing?

sweet wren
#

what do you mean ?

gray jolt
#

When you use attack, it fires in the direction pointed by the cursor instead where person face
I want to disabled it (so, instead fired by cursor it fired by where a active person see) cause I'm disabled and this way is much easier to me.

#

Idk in Hades I can hide my cursor so Zag fires where he actually faces, so I want the same with pyre.

sweet wren
#

ahhh

vestal bluff
#

If you play with controller this is the default

sweet wren
#

that should be aim assist?

#

oh

vestal bluff
#

You could also rebind the ā€œthrow/castā€ key in the options

#

By default itā€™s RMB but if you change that it might have the effect you want

Nope, despite rebind, it's still throw a cast to the cursor.

Yeah I always found having aiming/casting/throwing all on the mouse to be quite intuitive

I'm perfectly fine in playing in games that require ONLY keyboard OR mouse to play. I did both Hades and Hades II 32 heats/fears run

But I'm not able/it's to difficult to me play in games that require keyboard and mouse simultaneously.

unkempt igloo

It won't change the way the game itself plays but I was wondering if the form factor may better suit your hand, as there are a fair amount of buttons on the left side and you can use the right side solely for the trackpad

It is way more intuitive than it has any right to be lmao

So the TouchPad on the controller is a trackpad, it's just baked into the controller.

What masteries are you running? They have a really degenerate trick you can exploit but it's dependent on if you went left side or not

crimson jackal

Let me check

#

I only unlocked Final Kindling

#

I rarely used him till now

#

ahhh okay so no nuclear Sapling for you lol

crimson jackal
#

Nuclear what?

#

I can actually Scribe Snuff

#

If its a good move

unkempt igloo
#

Haha so if you go left side mastery on the right side of the diamond (L3,) you can remote detonate the Sapling. But there's an exploit you can do to cause a map-wide explosion.

It's not at all intended but it is very funny

crimson jackal
#

That Is cool

#

Unstable Sapling right? Thats the mastery you're talking about

Beyond that, blink is actually quite good if you shield right after dashing. They have a very good throw as well, especially if you give volf the star splinter

crimson jackal
#

All right i Will make sure to remember this thanks a lot

unkempt igloo
#

Ofc! Lu's Bough takes a little bit of practice, but if you figure out the distance then it makes him a plunging machiiiine

#

He can also do some grimy things with guardian shield, especially if you haven't liberated Hedwyn.

Control Hedwyn > Jump > Switch to Volfred > Shield = Watch Hedwyn become a sliding invulnerable hockey puck

#

This switch to Volf + guardian shield works with anyone, Hedwyn (and Jodi) can just jump/switch a lil more effectively

Well when you jump you have to wait to land before you can switch

I just started playing Pyre today and the game is nothing like anything Iā€™ve ever played :D Iā€™m in love with it!! Played for 6 hours straight. Iā€™m still not the best at it but itā€™s undoubtedly fun. Does anyone have any recommendations for playing Tiā€™zo?? Iā€™ve been able to adapt to most other characterā€™s play style but when it came to Tiā€™zoā€™s scribe trial (and general gameplay) I realized my skills were lacking. I donā€™t wanna neglect the lil guy :P

young folio
#

Also itā€™s been a very long time I think my strategy is just. Fly a lot. Heā€™s very fast

unkempt igloo
#

his aura is one of the bigger ones, so he's reliably able to banish a lot of the other exiles. something the game doesn't tell you is that he actually has amazing aura regeneration (how long it takes for his aura to come back after he comes down from the air)

#

this means at base he is really good at knocking exiles out of the air, landing, and banishing them before they even get their aura back

#

Moon Sigil (his first right side mastery) drops a portal for your team to use. all ti'zo has to do is get banished and he sets this movement buff up for everyone until he gets banished again. And it just so happens that ti'zo is very good at getting banished, all he has to do is press B

#

His movement is gonna feel a bit rough until you get Elusive Nature (first left-side mastery,) which makes him feel a lot better to zip around with

#

from there, you have a few different routes you can go. Last Laugh lets him blow up on banish as long as he doesn't have the orb. this gives you a tactical nuke you can use to blow a hole in the oppositions defense

#

you can make his portal better by investing in right side, giving anyone that goes through it temporary infinite stam

#

or if you want ti'zo to be a scorer, you can go left side and give him inner glory. 25 dmg is great, and he's got a lot of talismans that can help him reliably score

#

his legendary Talisman ||gives him infinite stamina when fully upgraded|| which is a lot of fun to play around with, even if not the most optimal one he can carry

Happy Birthday Pyre! Noxalas!šŸ”„

I really want to share, if you allow me.
Pyre was my second game from Supergiant Games after Hades. And, so far, my favorite. As much as I loved Hades 1 and 2, Pyre burrowed into my soul somehow very deeply.

I guess it's because the story about ordinary people who just want to live ordinary lives touched me. I've always loved stories about freedom and friendship. I've always loved road movies. I've always loved the feeling of unity between characters.
I didn't know anything about Pyre except the general idea of the game before the first playthrough. And I was sincerely worried that the characters might be injured. I was really worried that Pamita was a traitor. And I can't forgive myself for not being able to save more from Downside on my first try.
I think I finished the game in five in the evening. And I remember how I felt when the credits rolled. I had already heard Bound Toogether on YouTube at that time, but I still felt like I wanted to cry. And when the song started, and for the first time in my life, I burst into tears at the credits of a video game.
Of course, I am an impressionable person, and I probably haven't seen all the media in the world in my life. But this was the first time a game, film, or other work touched me so much.

I even, half a year later, launched a campaign among my friends who love Tabletop RPGs! Because the setting of the game didn't leave my head, and it was a way to finally "finish" with Pyre.
Thank you very much and Happy birthday.

The exiles shall be there with us

playing as the scribes defeating the titans would be cool, but i have always imagined a prequel where you play as sandra/sisters of the arch travelling to try and kill soliam murr. the book of rites (i think) has a fair bit of detail on the titans being defeated so a sandra story could have a narrative that we don't know but with a tragic ending that we know is coming.

i def get where you're coming from, I feel a lot of competitive games fall into this trap, especially games like pokemon which has a very deep competitive scene, but the base game never really teaches you that. i agree to an extent that any game with a competitive mode should at least endeavor to introduce the more technical side in a single-player, no pressure environment. fwiw, it's hard and a lot of fighting games in particular have been trying (with mixed results) a lot recently

#

however

#

in pyre's case, it's kind of hard to build that in when i don't think the goal was to really cater to the sweaty tryhards like me. it was to tell a cool story with a bunch of novel mechanics and strange plot contrivances that miraculously work within the confines of its own narrative.

in fact, I'd argue most "depth" from fighting, or any competitive games, stems more from the players who invest in them moreso than developer intention. even for games designed from the ground up to be competitive, devs are always talking about how players discover tech or strats or things that the devs cannot possibly forsee (see: smash melee, roll canceling in CvS2, heck even combos in fighting games were never intended, the devs saw this as a BUG before they became synonymous with the genre)

Native linux version is broken after glibc 2.41 (fix trivial)

Greetings. The native linux version fails to load with message "System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libfmodstudio.so.8"
glibc 2.41 disallowed executable stack in dynamic libraries.

This is known issue since with older fmod library, developer quote:

"For version of FMOD from 2.01.xx and older, they are marked as needing an executable stack. Thankfully the code has never required this functionality, and it was enabled implicitly by our compiler. This means itā€™s safe to use execstack -c fmod.so and execstack -c fmodstudio.so to clear the executable stack flag from our binaries".

Other developers that encountered this issue managed to resolve it.
To fix the issue, you simply need to run this command on library to strip executable stack flag(execstack is under GPL license):
execstack --clear-execstack lib64/libfmod.so.8
This fixed the issue for me, too.
I've reported this issue on steam forums too, and I've got reply that patched binary are already available, but they haven't been uploaded yet.

Would you be so kindly to patch this awesome game?

Can someone tell me about the gameplay and story of pyre? Thinking of playing it but I dont know much

dusty sparrow
#

Gameplay: 2 parts of gameplay, one is a lot of dialogue and choosing paths to take on the journey (there is a lot of reading, and not much of it is narrated in english), and the second part is the rites where there is actual gameplay, moving characters around and coordinating one at a time a bit like a sports game (i probably could have described this better)

Story (with as few spoilers as possible): you arrive as an exile in an unforgiving landscape and meet a mysterious group who are trying to find a way to return home (a supposedly impossible feat).

Alternitavely, read the story and gameplay section on the wikipedia page, it might outline the game a bit better.

I think the store page on steam is pretty informative and also thereā€™s a big steam sale soon so it may or may not be on sale

i think it usually goes around 70% off but that might have changed since i bought it

I spent 4 hours yesterday, and then 1 and a half today trying to figure out how to extract different files from the game and like oguhghghhgegusggg oh my god...

#

if anyone knows how or already has, please reach out. this is like

#

i...i just want sprites..

young folio
#

they r on the wiki iirc

#

the enemy teams do not have full sprites because they only show up in rites

#

just their heads

mental kayak
#

on the pyre wiki i can find screenshots, but they aren't transparent, or they're only certain poses yk? the main 3 have their masked and unmasked variants but all the side characters, as far as i can tell, don't exist šŸ˜­

rn im putting together a google drive of every transparent crisp mostly high quality sprite i have either from the internet or from ripping (i only got the team icons on my own im incompetent)

sweet wren
#

ok in that case you are in less luck But i know of a guide for putting together raiment files & character sprites (the sprites and raiments are completely separate for Some Reason)

#

i can send u whatever u need tho

#

i have like everyones sprite + all the raiment files

i mean im down to play a little puzzle game with their models if i have to if u could send me the guide

# sweet wren ooooooooo

WAIT sorry this is embarrassing oml šŸ˜­

i just now checked the dropbox because i was busy with something, is there a chance you have the characters in their raiments while masked?

sweet wren
#

i do! they arent photoshop files tho and come in layers so it might be a little tricky to work with but i can still send them

English isn't my native language. So, I have a hard time grasping the subtext in music.
"Remain to the end" in Pyre's final song. Does it mean both that the character remained in Downside and that he "remained loyal" to the Nightwings?

dusty sparrow
#

I think its up for interpretation a little bit (as most stories and lyrics are), so yes, that understanding of the lyric would make sense (both staying in the downside and staying loyal) - but it would not necessarily be the definitive understanding of it, because (from my point of view at least) there doesn't need to be a definitive understanding of it.

Sorry if that turned out to be unhelpful.

#

if you purchase the soundtrack, the words used for every nightwing are ā€œstayed true to the endā€ which would mean they all remained loyal to the nightwings and their cause

Hey everyone- I love the music in Pyre, and I want to use it at my D&D tables, but the recordings are just so static compared to the dynamic music in-game. The individual track segments arenā€™t anywhere online, so I was wondering whether there was any way I could get ahold of them, or if I would just have to splice the track segments myself

#

I assume theyā€™re somewhere in the files

you can do so in the modding sever (pinned in #self-promotion ) or dms im not sure whats the best course of action here

#

@manic ether true Nightwing can kinda be seen as ng+

#

You start with access to all titan stars from rite 1/Ron has a copy of each talisman in his shop

#

Regarding difficulty you gotta use a minimum of 3 titan stars, this goes up by 1 after each liberation rite

#

And I think the rank levels are higher?

I know everyone here loves Fantasy Purgatory Basketball, but

I keep wondering if it would be possible to mod / remake the game as a visual novel

With a pretty simple binary choice for each match of "win/lose" so you can still experience all the branching possibilities

But as a way of making it more accessible to people

Like, I LOVE the story and the music and the art and the setting! Basically everyone I know has given up because they can't stand the gameplay.

#

Even if everything else is stuff they'd otherwise like.

that's a hard pass from me but y'all do you

trail talon

#

Yeah for sure you can categorize Pyre as a VN but I personally prefer a bit more game in my games and wizard basketball is good for that

#

Or you can also just alternately play on the easy or max difficulty level throughout the game if you want to choose if you win or lose, since you can adjust it on the fly

# stable nacelle Does SGG handle their own console ports?

afaik yes. Greg went on record talking about it, he said "something something no plans at this time something something if it was easy to port over, we'd have done it by now something something"

this was an old article so id have to dig to find the exact quote

stable nacelle
#

oh i see

#

they could've handled port duties to other studios since they're earning boatloads of money, but ig they wanted to handle the ports to ensure good quality

vestal bluff
#

They're making boatloads in the Hades era, but they were smaller at the time of Pyre

#

A sad fact that us Readers must grapple with is that Pyre didn't sell all that well

#

I sometimes wonder how much that influenced them choosing to do Early Access for the first Hades

#

And also to do the first sequel in the studio's history despite saying many times in the pre-Hades times that they didn't really consider sequels

Any recommendations for an idiot-proof explanation of the rite mechanics? I've played about 10 rites and I'm still confused what determines when someone is banished

dusty sparrow
#

an exile is banished when the oppositions aura (glowing coloured circle/shape surrounding exiles) makes contact with them, whether it is walked into, jumped into, or cast at them.

#

if you want more explanation i can try and expand on that

#

there are some cases where certain talismans or masteries can cause banishment in other circumstances actually, but i dont know a full list off the top of my head

unkempt igloo
#

if the bad guy's circle touches your guy's body, they go bye-bye

#

if the bad guy's pew-pew spirit gun shoots you you go bye-bye

toxic python
#

If you fall to the lava in triesta's nest you also get banished (but much shorter time)

unkempt igloo
#

if a nomad collides with you mid air and they have the shoulder smash mastery, you go bye-bye

toxic python
#

(how long your banishment lasts is affected by each exile's hope stat, the higher the stat the less it takes)

unkempt igloo
#

if a demon with the celestial spike mastery (or a character with the shooting star Talisman) throws the ball at you you go bye-bye

#

if you're an imp and you press the b button you go bye-bye

toxic python
#

There's that talisman that sir gilman always runs too

#

Small aoe on getting banished

toxic python
#

I wish you could do the lib rite effects on vs mode

#

Triple sap with the chastity effect melsalute

toxic python
#

And if you mean banishing as in, = character is not available for the round. That happens whenever you dunk the orb, some masteries or talismans can avoid this, or always available is throwing the orb instead.

vernal lagoon
#

Honestly, all the different mastery and talisman effects makes it so that it's pretty important to check those things before the rite actually starts, on the selection screen

toxic python
#

Everyone with 15s+ respawn

#

The essence one would be funny if applied to both sides

#

How stupid would the meta be if dupe talismans were possible

unkempt copper
#

Oh wow, thanks everyone! I think the biggest thing for me was that I didnā€™t get why sometimes when I run into opponents they would get banished and sometimes it would be my players, but now that I get that itā€™s when aura actually hits the player and not their aura it makes much more sense šŸ„°
