@dusk current How long does that take in general? I got to the snake people in four hours, since I was reading everything out-loud for stream...

#

Transistor I did in an evening, as I didn't do anything else

dusk current
#

It definitely varies! You can run through Pyre really quickly if you're skipping through dialogue, but where's the fun in that?

young folio
#

i did it in one sitting, it took me 15 hours

pale burrow
#

Right, which is why I included that little bit of extra info. I'm playing through this game really slowly, but are we talking 10h+ or?

#

15h in one sitting?!

#

Dude...

young folio
#

i also kinda rushed it towards the end, but i was getting tired.. and i might read a bit slowly

#

i really, really didnt want any spoilers

pale burrow
#

I've had almost nothing spoiled, even after a year

young folio
#

i run the fan server, and i used to backread everything

pale burrow
#

Other than AT or whatshisface and the multitude of ending

young folio
#

wanted to finish the game and be able to be in the spoiler channels before the backlog of messages became too much

pale burrow
#

I see

#

Makes sense I suppose

young folio
#

also i kept saying ill do one more rite until i kinda. finished the game.

You know it's a good game when it draws you in that easily

pale burrow
#

I'm gonna go sleep now

lavish cairn
#

Night Mojken!

young folio
#

it is, i think its the only supergiant game i reviewed

pale burrow
#

Partially to avoid pyre spoilers

young folio
#

even tho transistor is actually my fave

lavish cairn
#

Spoiler Alert: there will be sweet slam dunks

young folio
#

oh yes

#

I loved the art that Steam put up during one of the summer sales of Pyre literally being a basketball game

young folio
#

yeah!!

heavy hill
#

I've owned the game since the hour of release and only yesterday noticed that Rukey's tail is actually green

young folio
#

LOL I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT

#

yeah i didnt notice until it was pointed out to me

#

but it was like, 5 days max after the game came out luckily

heavy hill
#

I thought the Steam art was from this meme on the pyre subreddit with the Air Bud poster painted green on the tail

lavish cairn
#

lol

#

Rukey is now nicknamed Air Bud

latent rose
#

Any chance we'll be blessed with tasty tasty Pyre ringtones?

#

^^^^^

#

Tizo noise ringtone would be a NECESSITY if it existed

spark moon
#

I could complete the trilogy

#

I've already changed my notification sound to Ti'zo chirping and it is still the best thing I've ever done

livid moth
#

Notifications for what? As I now may want to do that to my phone...

barren topaz
#

text notifications. It's like Ti'zo fluttered into my room to tell me the messenger imp arrived

livid moth
#

My current one is the Item Get from LoZ, but Tizo sounds like a great alternative. His random chirps and the like get stuck in my head when I remember him.

reef sleet
#

on a similar note I've had my PC startup noise set to the Transistor OVC chime since launch and it still hasn't gotten old

livid moth
#

I've been telling myself I'll change the startup noises on my PC for ages, still havnt...

#

I'll be livestreaming Pyre soon, a blind first run, if anyone is interested in watching that

pale burrow
#

Anyway, starting the stream right about now. Discord will help you find it I think.

devout ledge
#

I want on stream live performances of Imp noises or it’s all for waste

wide river
#

I'm probably going to miss the pyre stream because i have to work but i'm upset because that's the one i've been looking forward to :(

manic jetty
#

Are people allowed to record the stream?

barren topaz
#

People recorded the Transistor one. Right now that's the only way to preserve them

#

I'm going to try to be up in time for it even though it's insanely early for me, but if other people record it that'd be even better since there will be parts I'll miss either way

manic jetty
#

Might become a huge file depending on how long they're going to stream though

pale burrow
#

Movark I'm sorry, that's the only character I don't voice

spiral osprey
#

Mojken, language please

pale burrow
#

Except for Sandalwood, idos domi that was so cool!!!

spiral osprey
#

thanks πŸ˜ƒ

pale burrow
#

Yeah, I slipped up

#

Switched to fantasy swears instead πŸ˜›

pale burrow
#

I'm pressed on time, but I have a feeling I'm approaching one kind of an ending at least. Hopefully I've gotten further than what they will during today's stream at least 🀷. Final stream for a few hours, doubt anyone is actually interested, but it never hurts to advertise a bit. πŸ‘

pale burrow
#

I have a feeling that I haven't gotten far enough to watch the livestream - I only just liberated my first (Jodariel). Someone make sure to record it all, yeah? Every second of it!

lime mural
#

i liberated jodariel first too

#

because i didn't want to see her anymore :^)

(spoiler) did you guys let pamitha's sister win

barren topaz
#

not me

lime mural
#

me neither

young folio
#

yeah

lime mural
#

i didn't liberate pamitha either, cause it just felt right

young folio
#

that moment really touched me so i was like, ok time to throw this rite

#

pam stayed down tho.. so i got the second best ending

elder apex

so how many hours to stream start?

barren topaz

it's 9 pst now, isn't it? They're probably setting up now

i can't watch it on my phone can i

stuck robin
#

is it gonna be on steam or twitch?

lime mural
#

steam iirc

young folio
#

maybe you can from the steam app

#

its basically the website

lime mural
#

time to download steam app

devout ledge
#

I didn't want her to win

#

But I suck against harpies

#

and they won

pale burrow
#

I've made sure not to lose a single fight

#

Playing on hardest

#

The snakes were the hardest so far, lost against them twice

proud summit
#

Totally didn't save scum to make the people I wanted to ascend ascend >.>

#

actually, I'm not sure I ever did. but I wasn't on the hardest difficulty

pale burrow
#

Eh, I did the same in Transistor. It's just the way I like to play

#

I'm fully aware that the losses are just a part of the story, but I want my story to be of an unbeatable triumvirate that can live up to it's name, and I want that to be earned - which I feel like currently it isn't

#

I have stopped losing battles

proud summit
#

I intentionally lost to the fate, maybe the essence? I forget if you have to lose to let Tamitha go instead of Pamitha

lime mural
#

I threw my match against the Essence. I beat the Fate, but I felt really bad about it.

proud summit
#

I was a huge softie

pale burrow
#

I don't get it

#

Why lose?

proud summit
#

give me half an excuse to let you leave and I'll give it to you

pale burrow
#

What indication did you get that you had to lose a battle?

lime mural
#

Pamitha asked me to throw, and I couldn't disappoint my waifu.

pale burrow
#

Really?

proud summit
#

yeah

Yeah

I have two questions, if anyone would be a dear and ask them for me when the the time is right I'd be very grateful:
What's up with the weird paths that the Blackwagon takes? Just for fun? I have to say I enjoyed the suspense of it.

Is Gilman a reference to Claptrap? Even his voice is similar, on top of the personality.

dusk current
#

I got you Moj πŸ‘

#

No promise they'll get answered! But I will get the questions in.

pale burrow
#

πŸ‘

#

They were really, really good at answering the questions yesterday, so I'm optimistic. Worst case, it's possible to ask again when there's a lull in chat.

The link or?

someone who says storms and idos domi but doesn't read those books

i'm particularly a fan of the quote, "my life would be put into peril if i had to give away all of falcon ron's secrets"

I mean, that is true, but I was promised Deep Falcon Ron Lore

devout ledge
#

Supercut of Greg saying Deep Lore

lavish ridge

i like that they said this means we'll get "more questions than answers"

there's something so fittingly ron about that

Just found out I got the Star Struck achievement without noticing/trying

@ pyre stream how many liberation rites have they done so far ,,

barren topaz
#

What did they say to the first question I'm out of the house

young folio
#

amir is revealing some Pro Mae Strats with throwing the orb and then taunting to teleport to it

#

im definitely in the mood to play some more pyre now and try that out

lime mural
#

I think theyve done 3 or 4

#

Ive been watching the whole time but I don't remember XD

#

I see , thank you !! πŸ™

barren topaz

I never remember taunts but throwing with Mae is one of my favorite things

when i got her taunt mastery i would taunt at the start of every round

Erisa and brighton lore GWfroggyZoomeyes

barren topaz
#

Aw I'm missing old nightwings lore

rich sequoia
#

I'm so happy that they replied to my question about oralech and the true nightwings gilmanlove

spiral osprey
#

Ooh what did they say?

sacred lark
#

hey actually could someone ask greg to maybe talk more about sap culture and what's going on with it that volfred doesn't see eye to eye with manley and his contemporaries? πŸ™

#

i crave that deep lore

rich sequoia
#

I asked if Oralech was trying to imitate the True Nightwings by having an imp (Ti'zo) and a savage (Erisa) in his team and Greg said that that was a nice observation and that he might have either on purpose or subconsciously looked for people that reminded him of his liberation rite

sacred lark
#

(assuming they can read chat that is)

oblique wren
#

I asked how the harps do anything without hands

#

They basically said β€œdon’t think about too hard”

#

Lol

paper musk
#

will do @sacred lark

sacred lark
#

thank you muzeek! ✨

paper musk
#

He basically said that Volfred and Manley can't really accurately depict all of sap culture as they're just two individuals and have very different viewpoints on what is best, for them and people in general. Their disagreement comes mainly from their individual differences in perspective rather than a cultural divide. Apologies if I messed any of that up, someone correct me if I did, it's 1am and I am a potato right now

sacred lark
#

you are a lovely potato and i thank you πŸ₯”

heavy hill
#

here's a question

#

are the saplings actually their child

#

I can't watch the stream rn but I wanna know

pale burrow
#

Manely introduces it as the spitting image of himself, so I think it's literally just an offshoot of the treeSap

paper musk
#

their chat just died again but they said they're probably gonna get around to looking at questions on Discord sometime and answering them here

#

I'll ask it if the chat comes back for them though

sacred lark
#

yeah, the game describes humboldt jr as an extension of himself

paper musk
#

They said they wanted to imply that all the races are all very different types of characters and have different cultures and such, aaaand also that it was probably a good rabbit hole to not go down.

#

so headcannon away

#

@heavy hill

heavy hill
#

I suppose if they answered that then the more unsavory fanfics could quickly rise

I actually don't even know what that could lead to but I guess that's for the best?

Top quality Ron lore

what was the juiciest falcon ron lore you learned today? Mine was that he would buy a set of wedding rings just for himself

So however he gets around, it's pretty fast

He must've been faking it when we catch up to him that one time

were you at the stream? They saved his epilogue for last

Ron has no reason to "escape" the downside except to herald the end of the known universe. As long as he can keep selling his stock he has no reason to do this however

Rumor has it if you make Ron be quiet while you’re buying from him you’re one step closer to reawakening the titans

wait what does it mean

RITON

lavish ridge

it's effectively "thank you for your patronage"

they said it on stream earlier

onyx forum

omg good

barren topaz
#

thank you come again

spiral osprey
#

i figured it was a "thank you" thing lol

lavish ridge
#

also they basically were like "ron has his own dialect of the language"

spiral osprey
#

heavily slurred "gratias"

barren topaz

is that how it's supposed to be spelled wow

oh didnt they say once that ron dialect is like the hewwo of sahrian

lavish ridge
#

sadfjkhdsfjkhjkhsdfa

spiral osprey
#

yeah they did lmfao

#

i mean it's not straight-up "gratias", it's a close equivalent, but yeah

#

it's something like gratias, run through the ron-speech generator

#

lemme see if we have a straight up thank you from someone other than ron...

#

oh, i theorized sandra's "igriata" is also a version of "thank you"

#

I had to miss the stream today. What did they say about Oralwood? volfredgaythink

lavish ridge
#

i don't think anything was said but it sounds like it was confirmed that the devs purposefully freed the reader so oralech and volfred could be in the downside together

#

in today's stream i mean

#

i still can't believe they marathoned that whole game

barren topaz
#

I had been hoping they would do that for the exact same reason

#

well, that, with a side of Hedwyn's promise

(hedwyn's promise is that the Original Team - the reader, himself, rukey, jodariel - will go free)

(he gets sad if only some go free)

rich sequoia
#

They got all of those free

wide river

#

❀

rich sequoia
#

So no sad Hedwyn : D

lime mural
#

the most important thing is that manley got liberated

rich sequoia
#

^

wide river
#

oh god no

#

but hey, happy hedwyn at least :D

rich sequoia
#

They liberated Manley, bullied Dalbert and didn't keep Sandra, that was pretty bad...

#

Still, Manley gets a bad ending no matter what

lime mural
#

manley deserved better tizozzz

rich sequoia
#

Manley did nothing wrong... (except, he actually did everything wrong XD)

lime mural
#

true ,, he earned the doom GWfroggerHyperXD

rich sequoia
#

Still, best part of the stream for me was when Greg validated me for liking trash characters gilmanlove

lime mural
#

o m g HE DID THAT ?!

#

he validates you for that ; he validates the entire trash-loving side of the fandom squirtdevious

spiral osprey
#

he really does

rich sequoia
#

I think I asked something like "is it bad that I like Deluge?"

spiral osprey
#

you know kasavin voiced deluge πŸ˜‚

lime mural
#

we all love deluge

#

regardless of that

rich sequoia
#

I know, I know xD

#

But yeah, it was something like that even though they wanted to have obvious "bad people" in this game they still wanted to open up for people thinking they might have redeeming qualities, which is something that I actually like about stories, try to give an insight into the villain's mind and make them kind of sympathetic

#

I always thought that the main villain on pyre is the commonwealth itself and that the "bad characters" in there are just a result of how bad that society is

lime mural
#

hello open minded fella πŸ–

rich sequoia
#

Yay! πŸ–

elder apex
#

Its all about commenting on a world gone wrong xD

#

people turned out bad because of what they went through

#

Although some are just bad

lime mural
#

that s right

#

i love manley dearly but he didn t exactly have to resort to bribery

rich sequoia
#

Look, I'm doing too much insight on Manley due to the fic I'm writing and considering everything, he could have gone with waaay worse things

#

Like he could have gone full corrupted politician and redirect commonwealth's money to himself

elder apex
#

maybe spoiled rich child that grew up with the wrong thought process

rich sequoia
#

yeah, that's basically my take on him

barren topaz
#

I tend to get salty about a lot of opponent characters getting liberated because a lot of then learn absolutely nothing from the whole experience and continue to be trash, but really why would anyone think this was going to be an effective criminal justice and rehabilitation system?

elder apex
#

pyre is the game i know least about ;-; as i couldnt start the liberation trials because of my computer being to old

young folio
#

exile seems to have changed quite a lot since the time of the scribes

rich sequoia
#

I think that's also the point of the game, to realize that you actually need a more... effective rehabilitation system than dumping people against each other in fantasy basketball

young folio
#

looks like now they just throw everyone they don’t wanna deal with down there and go β€œwell that’s not our problem anymore”

elder apex
#

cause that is how you rehbitate people by isolating from society and then they get time to think over what they have done

lime mural
#

i agree w not liberating the opponent characters
nightwings earn much more from it

rich sequoia
#

only one worth liberating is Almer

lime mural
#

yes !!

elder apex
#

ture :>

#

TrueÆ

#

ARGH

#

#Spelling

rich sequoia
#

The others... I mean, I like Deluge's writer ending but, yeah, most of them barely change or learn anything

barren topaz
#

Almer's only real transgression was loving his dad

rich sequoia
#

True

#

And his dad's transgression was throwing a party basically xD

radiant spoke
#

Iggy too

#

Actually a decent guy under his tough greaser dude exterior

rich sequoia
#

Yeah, but I think he doesn't contribute anything to the plan?

radiant spoke
#

I guess not, yeah.

rich sequoia
#

Same could be said about Barker, though I think that he's actually happier in the Downside

barren topaz
#

he ends up doing essentially the same thing if he's liberated though

rich sequoia
#

Yeah xD

#

But it's like, still a spot someone more "useful" can take

barren topaz
#

but I guess in the downside he has his packmakes and can't get yelled at for peeing in public anymore

radiant spoke
#

Heck, I should really play through Pyre again

rich sequoia
#

I suppose he also has his mom, I think there's a part where he mentions something about his mom and I was like "are all curs momma babies or what?"

#

I think that curs in general have very strong family ties compared to other races

barren topaz
#

I must've missed that. I don't remember him saying anything about his mom

rich sequoia
#

I saw it on the game files, because it's kind of a rare event? (I think it's only during a second liberation rite against them)

wide river
#

iggy upsets me because he's kind of a jerk but he literally didn't do anything to deserve being in the downside

#

he did his job and got exiled for it

rich sequoia
#

He might have done his job in a... rougher way than intended, but yeah

#

Punched the wrong person, basically

wide river
#

but still. exile? bit harsh.

barren topaz
#

exile was a disproportionate punishment for what he did wrong, yeah

rich sequoia
#

I mean, exile is too harsh for 99% of the in game cases

barren topaz
#

fair point

rich sequoia
#

Shows that, as someone mentioned earlier, exile became more of a way to get rid of someone you don't like rather than a deserved punishment

radiant spoke
#

So just like the real legal system.

rich sequoia
#

It could also be taken as a very harsh rite of passage, seeing how a lot of people in power positions in the commonwealth are former exiles

barren topaz
#

I mean, I don't think isolating people from society and pitting them against each other for a small chance to be forgiven was ever going to be a system that reliably produces the results they're looking for, but hey

rich sequoia
#

The idea was kind of cute on paper, but yeah, that was doomed to end up badly

spiral osprey
#

you know something thats kinda interesting to me is like, the characters who talk abt their families versus the characters who...don't
it tends to feel like there's either one big relationship that's the focus for the character's arc, or nothing is ever said about their families, ever

rich sequoia
#

The person that Ignarius mentions (I forgot their name xD) we still don't know what's their relationship with him, right?

wide river
#

moira?

rich sequoia
#

That

spiral osprey
#

yeah

wide river
#

yeah, she's not mentioned ouside that one line as far as i know

spiral osprey
#

manley's parents are mentioned like, once or twice, i think

wide river
#

personally i always liked to think it was his daughter

spiral osprey
#

manley mentions them himself, and i...think volfred says something about them when he's doing the scary mind probe lol

rich sequoia
#

I was kind of hoping I would learn more about her on future rites against him, but then it turned to be centered on him and Jodi

spiral osprey
#

unfortunately :/

barren topaz
#

same

#

there was a question in a past q&a explaining why Moira didn't have a tooltip popup, but still didn't address who she actually was, so I kept thinking I had missed something, but apparently not

rich sequoia
#

Now I'm thinking what if she was his daughter and by exiling him they basically made her orphan, would also explain why he likes Jodi, she's prime mom material

barren topaz
#

aww

spiral osprey
#

weird she wouldn't come up in the epilogue then tho

rich sequoia
#

Yeaaaah, I mean, it's still strange that they drop a name like that and then there's no further reference anywhere

#

I should have asked that on the stream yesterday

barren topaz
#

yeah

wintry crown
#

I think the most interesting part of the whole "the system went way too wrong in all this time after the Scribes established it" is that we, the Nightwings, are eventually part of the very same problem as well

#

as in, instead of being the impartial judges we're meant to be, we manipulate the outcomes to fit our own agenda

#

it's a noble one, sure, but it's still a perversion of what was meant to be

onyx forum
#

i dont think the system was ever capable of being 'right', tbh

#

what i love about the rites is that........for all its big magic, the scribes were just powerful people doing their best, and there are some big pitfalls in the setup

wintry crown
#

it was a system that depended on extremely high level of idealism in the society that uses it

onyx forum
#

anything you keep secret and advertise as a secret elite club will attract people who are corrupt

wintry crown
#

and people are corruptible, so it not flying is not much of a surprise

onyx forum
#

i think the scribes made the secrecy of the rites, combined with giving power to those who return, its fatal flaw
yeah, exactly!!

barren topaz
#

yeah anything that requires information to be withheld from the people kinda sets off red flags in my mind

#

perhaps it was inevitable that the commonwealth, the society established around these principles, would eventually take the restriction of information to its logical extreme with all the burning books

onyx forum
#

ooooooooh boy i love that

#

"the scribes would want us to burn books right"

#

i love. the possibility of scribes bringing about their own ruin.

barren topaz
#

I doubt they intended or anticipated the course the commonwealth eventually took. They clearly had good intentions, if some questionable approaches that certainly don't lend themselves to preventing such extremes. I ultimately think the Commonwealth's downfall was its own doing, whatever the scribes intended, and that someday the Sahrian Union will too fall, perhaps also to its own corruption, no matter what Volfred intended

onyx forum
#

yeah!!

#

oh the s.u. is definitely only going to last so long (and then, i think, the rites will open up again but with bound together replacing never to return)

wintry crown
#

yeah, the Scribes story sounds like, if you cut out the whole history after they established the Commonwealth, your usual story about fighting for one's freedom

#

"they got out and they established a system and everything was fine and nothing hurt"

onyx forum
#

yes!!

barren topaz
#

how would it work if the rites start up again, assuming the Sahrian Union sticks to its decree to not exile anyone? There wouldn't be anyone in the downside to compete in the rites except natives

onyx forum
#

i mean that if they dont stick to that

#

then the rites begin again

barren topaz
#

ahh

onyx forum
#

with the "cycle of the rites"........i think what we see as the ""end"" of the rites is the first pause in an even larger cycle

barren topaz
#

that's one way of looking at it, yeah

onyx forum
#

the scribes began something that goes on forever, and they have to just, live with the consequences. or be stars with the consequences, but you know

wintry crown
#

I could easily see the Rites becoming an actual sport some years down the road, too

onyx forum
#

barker got you covered! >:3

#

onyx forum
#

thank you for your words

barren topaz
#

lol

rich sequoia
#

I still think that some people might want to willingly go to the Downside. I know anime is not to be discussed here, but Made in Abyss has a similar setup, a mysterious hole from where everybody knows there's a point you can't come back, yet they still go down there to explore fueled by their curiosity and desire of adventure. In fact, I think that's why Soliam went there in the beginning, chasing some legend, treasure, whatever

barren topaz
#

...that is an excellent point

spiral osprey
#

yeah soliam went there chasing treasure, because he was greedy

#

BUT Lu went there out of curiosity

wide river
#

khaylmer: hey soliam there's a really cool thing in the downside, go fetch :3c
soliam: OH BOY TREASURE [leaps into the river] wait no

spiral osprey
#

he literally got bored of the normal world and threw himself into the Downside to study the Other World

rich sequoia
#

What I mean is that even after the Sahrian Union, some people might have their reasons to go to the Downside

wintry crown
#

thing is, is there anything worth of attention for the treasure hunters

#

because sure, i can see the researchers getting there

#

there's always something worth documenting

#

but after all these years you'd think that the wealth located in Downside/lack thereof would be known

rich sequoia
#

Well, there's Rukey selling "Downside merchandising" xD

wintry crown
#

right

spiral osprey
#

hey guys not to derail but i just found some resources from the og supergiant server that y'all might want? is it ok if i dump them?

wintry crown
#

but it's also kind of associated with the cult of personality for the Nightwings

barren topaz
#

I like this idea that as long as this mysterious otherworld with no escape continues to exist, it's going to have some influence on the society of the upper world. Like, it's just there.

rich sequoia
#

And perhaps some people that really love the Scribes (like *ae) or the Titans (Udmildhe) would want to visit the place where all their stories come from

#

It's a forever visit though, so something to think about xD

wintry crown
#

yeah, eventually you /will get some YouTube channels making money off of going into Downside with it just sitting there

rich sequoia
#

#

in an alternate universe the game Pyre exists but it's about the old nightwings and there's an encounter with Brighton where he asks you if he should shave his soul patch. It's a hotly contested choice among the fans and devs

Hey guys so i have an oppertunity to do a presentation about Pyre and I need your help
what do you think i should talk about? i get around 20 minutes

mild falcon
#

it's about player choice

nocturne basin
#

it's about feelsβ„’

void coyote
#

haha

#

@mild falcon how would you describe it?

mild falcon
#

it's emotionally exhausting, honestly

#

the combination of narrative impact and gameplay impact makes me care, i guess

void coyote
#

hey it's ok, i udnerstand

mild falcon
#

I'll probably get crucified here for this, but on my first run, I made Jodariel feel bad because I called her scary

void coyote
#

i did that too but i thought it would actually have a positive response

#

so i felt pretty bad

barren topaz
#

what kind of presentation? What are your guidelines?

mild falcon
#

the "[character] will remember this" from other story games is a nice reminder that sometimes your actions have consequences, but "Jodariel gets -1 glory" has a totally different feel

void coyote
#

@barren topaz there's a local discussion group that meets once a month to discuss about games, and they choose a different game each time. in september they will have a meeting about Pyre. usually there are two 20-minute presentations in any subject related, like last time the chosen game was VA-11 HALL-A and they talked about the cyberpunk aspect of it.
So I need to choose a subject related to Pyre and build a presentation about it

#

It would be both talking and a slide

mild falcon
#

around people who have played it, presumably? it's not an advertisement?

void coyote
#

yeah it's for people who played it or dont mind spoilers

#

they give enough time for people to play it before the meeting

barren topaz
#

a lot's been said about the use of music in Pyre and I find that really interesting, but it more depends on which aspects you find interesting. Game design? Narrative? The way it doesn't really fit into any conventional gaming genres?

void coyote
#

honestly i've seen so many analysis videos and listened to probably everything sgg had to say about the game, so i'm pretty lost on that one
i thought about the music but i don't really know how to present it without copying from youtube creators

mild falcon
#

when i beat transistor i almost immediately jumped into the ng+, ready for more of that gameplay and all that. I haven't really touched pyre since, because everything ties up so neatly, no matter what you ended up doing.

#

transistor has an ending, but pyre has an Ending

#

y'know

void coyote
#

hmm yeah i understand

rich sequoia
#

One of the things I noticed about that is that Transistor left me like wow that's a bittersweet ending while Pyre has a... happier ending (I got the full pacifist one) but I felt really sad because I was like I'm not going to know anything else about these characters. Maybe you could talk about the way it makes you feel attached to fictional characters and care about them as if they were real, which is also why liberation rites feel so hard because you have to choose someone you like but if you do you don't know anything else about them.

mild falcon
#

how does pyre top the ending of transistor, that features gur znva punenpgre'f qrngu? what is it about pyre that puts the cherry on top

#

also, i guess you could talk about how pyre makes use of concepts unique to video games to tell a story. most of the thought and creativity that went into writing pyre would've been lost if it was an anime or book or something

rich sequoia
#

I think Pyre's strongest point is how you as a player feel like you belong to the game. It's made like a visual novel but unlike a visual novel you don't reach to the characters, they're the ones that reach to you and choosing who you want to know more about is done by being "mean" to them by not liberating them

mild falcon
#

through liberation, you lose a potentially good player in the rites or whatever, but you also lose a lot of character development, a lot of story.

barren topaz
#

I do like how in the 200 whatever million permutations of the ending, there are no "good" or "bad" endings. They're mostly satisfying in their own way, but there's also tradeoffs of all your choices, like how not everyone can go free, some people are going to end up apart, but most characters find ways to be happy wherever they end up and who they're with

void coyote
#

thank you guys so so much!!

#

i think i will be talking about the characters

i gave up nae pretty early on, and i felt bad reading about how she ends up not being just an inferior hedwyn and ends up being good. but everyone has a character they liberated early.

rich sequoia
#

I remember on my ending I liberated Oralech and then, since it was pacifist, he just went up there and was like... ok. I felt that was kind of... disappointing and felt bad for not liberating my reader, so I reloaded the game and did that instead, then oh boy... wasn't expecting that turn xD

void coyote
#

i felt so good liberating Oralech

#

i didnt have any regrets

rich sequoia
#

I guess I didn't really sympathize with him, like yeah, I understood him and I liberated him because I felt that it was the right thing to do, and expected him to do something impactful for the revolution so then it was kind of lackluster...

#

I think I like better the endings where he stays with Volfred and Ti'zo, even if it's on the Downside

#

Unless you get a non pacifist revolution he doesn't really do much in the Commonwealth, and it was kind of heartbreaking how Ti'zo and Volfred try to talk to him and be reasonable on the final rite

void coyote
#

i mean, i failed against the fate and the tempers on my first playthrough
i was so mad and sad and i felt like i was actually letting down my team when we lost to the tempers because i didn't sympathize with ignarius, but i felt really good about losing to the fate because i did like dalbert and almer

rich sequoia
#

I felt bad for winning against the fate

#

When Dalbert does that sad howling in the middle of the rite I was like omg my heart...

void coyote
#

oh no ;-;

#

i will definitly replay pyre just to experience these moments again, it's been a year since i last played on my own (i did play with a friend not too long ago)

barren topaz
#

And even if they win it's still sad because now Almer is apart from his dad and he doesn't know what to do with himself on the other side

rich sequoia
#

That too :_ D

#

When they lose they're like, you know, at least we're still together, that's what matters

#

Almer is such a good son ; ^ ;

void coyote
#

in my playthrought almer and *ae got together

#

i was so happy for them like they are my children

barren topaz
#

I'm glad they get to be friends in the end

rich sequoia
#

I regret not doing that, I liberated *ae first so I didn't get almost anything about her

void coyote
#

oh, also the fact that you can only liberate those who are qualified which are the top level characters means that you have to make a sacrifice both in your relationship with the character (you know a lot about them and have a close connection) and gameplay-wise

rich sequoia
#

Ah yes, that's also interesting, to liberate someone you need to play with them a lot which is probably because you like their playstyle and they kind of carry your games, but then only the ones you're good with are available for liberation

#

It really plays a lot with the concept of having to get rid of those who you like, either gameplay or story wise

barren topaz
#

yeah that's a really interesting and complex gameplay element, having to make that choice

void coyote
#

okay then πŸ˜ƒ you guys gave me a lot of good points i could talk about

nocturne basin
#

and no matter what you do you end up with a broken heart and lots of used tissues

rich sequoia
#

Good πŸ‘

void coyote
#

i have tons of time to make this so feel free to keep discussing and i'll keep up with it

rich sequoia
#

I mean, good for Alternate Drifter, not good broken heart xD

void coyote
#

hahaha

#

Broken hearted Drifter 😦

rich sequoia
#

Everyone after playing Pyre

#

Or any Supergiant game

nocturne basin
#

i'm still stuck playing my 3rd playthrough because i can't bear the loss any more ;_______;

rich sequoia
#

Seriously, I remember I stayed looking at that ending screen for minutes being like nooo I can't believe this is oveeer

#

Then finding out how small the fandom is broke my heart even more

void coyote
#

same!

#

well i dont know why but we used to be barely 3 people here in israel who knew and loved the game, but because of the steam sale a lot of my friends are buying the games and i'm very happy

#

i hope my presentation will help others to get into it

rich sequoia
#

I don't know anyone in my country that likes it, or in Europe for that matter (a part from my bf who is the one that got me to play it)

barren topaz
#

as someone who played the game when it was already almost a year old, I was surprised and delighted there was still a fandom at all

rich sequoia
#

My friends don't seem to want to play it no matter how much I try to get them into it xD

nocturne basin
#

I got a couple friends to play it \o/

rich sequoia
#

I joined the fandom at the beginning of this year and it was basically seeing everybody moving onto other things

#

Now since the official discord opened it seems to be more people around, I never managed to get to really talk to others about it till recently soooo...

void coyote
#

haha so when the game came out and i cosplayed Jodariel i had a photographer take some photos at a con, and i didn't know her at the time
she's known in the community as the best photographer but she doesn't release the photos for a long, long time
we became very good friends and it's been almost a year since then and i only got 2 photos from her (the one in my profile pic is one of them) and now she started to play Pyre and she said it's given her the motivation to edit more of my photos lol

rich sequoia
#

Oh wow

#

I would like to do a Pyre cosplay but I don't know what xD

barren topaz
#

there's always the Reader

void coyote
#

she said she wants to do a gijinka (human version) of Ti'zo and I think it's brilliant

rich sequoia
#

I would like something to go with my boyfriend xD

barren topaz
#

just draw a star on a cloak and maybe a Book and that's all you need

void coyote
#

*ae and almer?

rich sequoia
#

Omg gijinka Ti'zo!

#

I thought about it

barren topaz
#

that would be adorable

rich sequoia
#

I also wanted Hedwyn and Fikani but he says that he's not precious enough to be a good Hedwyn

#

Another option would be him as the Reader and me as Sandra

void coyote
#

whaaaat what do you mean not precious enough!

#

that would be so cool tho

#

i dont think ive seen a fikani cosplay?

rich sequoia
#

Sadly he kind of looks more like Lendel xDDD

void coyote
#

hahahahaha

barren topaz
#

there's no good references of Fikani, all we get is a face shot

void coyote
#

oh NO

rich sequoia
#

I was also considering him being Lendel and me random Accusers nomad xD

void coyote
#

at least he's not a manley

rich sequoia
#

Look, he does a pretty good Manley impersonation, it's scary

#

Sometimes we kind of acted parts of the fic we wrote to see if it felt right, with him voicing Manley and I'm like thanks I hate it

void coyote
#

how can you live with that monstrosity

barren topaz
#

OMG

void coyote
#

that's so cool tho

rich sequoia
#

I know right xD

void coyote
#

Lendel's looks and Manley's voice is less scary than Manley's looks and Lendel's voice

rich sequoia
#

When he reads all this he's gonna kill me xD

void coyote
#

hahaha

#

tag him πŸ‘€

rich sequoia
#

I like Manley though so it's ok

#

We're living together so I'll just tell him when he wakes up

void coyote
#

"hey baby, you should go check out the mean but loving things i said about you in sgg"

rich sequoia
#

I mean, he already knows everything I said but it will still be funny to see xD

barren topaz
#

now everyone in the discord knows his little talent

rich sequoia
#

We were kind of considering recording some parts of the fic with him as Manley and me as the Reader

void coyote
#

Ahh please yes

barren topaz
#

that would be cool

rich sequoia
#

Now that we know that there's people interested in it we might do it! I felt a bit hesitant because I'm not a native english speaker so I do have a strong accent

#

But if people don't mind that then it's ok :_ D

void coyote
#

well, you could say everyone in Pyre has some kind of an accent

rich sequoia
#

That's true, I'll say it's Sahrian accent

mild falcon
#

if i made a pyre demake, would yall play it

rich sequoia
#

Demake?

mild falcon
#

it's where you remake a game and retain all the core mechanics, but basically nothing else

rich sequoia
#

Not sure I understand but I'm up for trying new things

mild falcon
#

the best example might be gang garrison 2, where they took tf2, made it 2d, and took out the alternate weapons and stuff

#

i guess removing nuance is the gist of it

rich sequoia
#

So pyre but it's just the rites?

void coyote
#

Rite Simulator 2018

rich sequoia
#

Versus mode xD

barren topaz
#

Barker's post game basketball

rich sequoia
#

Omg

#

Dog basketball, yes

mild falcon
#

like, instead of having 7 different kinds of characters, each with a variety of different stats, I'd have large, medium, and small

void coyote
#

Basketdog.

mild falcon
#

yeah ill make em all dogs if youd prefer

#

i think i already have dog pixel art somewhere

rich sequoia
#

It would be nice to make it as Barker's post game thing

void coyote
#

it's basically
large: demons
small: imps, curs
medium: literally everyone else

rich sequoia
#

But no one has different abilities I suppose

barren topaz
#

that's literally the team you start with

mild falcon
#

large do more damage and have big aura but are slow, only medium can shoot aura, and small go fast

#

med counters large, large counters small, and small counters med

#

wow it's almost like a game design

void coyote
#

lol

mild falcon
#

also no character can jump, jump is replaced by a hum button that any character can do to hum to any song

#

or howl, i guess

void coyote
#

oh my god

#

crossovers we all asked for

barren topaz
#

interesting choice...

mild falcon
#

I'm gonna figure out whether i can make this game before i start asking for VA's or whatever, but it seems like y'all are good at that

open fulcrum
#

I see Koishia has been giving me sweet compliments about my looks and voice xD

Hey, who tuned in to see the Pyre stream a day or two ago?? πŸ˜„ I did!!

#

IT WAS AWESOME!

mild falcon
#

does anyone have the font from pyre?

spiral osprey
#

yes actually!

#

if you go to Steam>steamapps>common>Pyre>Content>Win>Fonts>en, you can see a full list of fonts used in the game

#

the vast majority, if not all of them (i think?) are free

#

p sure the textbox font is alegreya sc

mild falcon
#

are the non-free ones owned/created by sgg?

spiral osprey
#

nah. don't think so

#

they may all be free tbh i just haven't checked them all and don't want to make unfounded promises

#

actually crimson text may be the standard textbox font? i could figure it out if i dug through a little bit but uhhhh @wide river which is which again

wide river
#

font gremlin to the rescue

spiral osprey
#

thank you font imp

#

hey you know i can force-change your nickname in soup

wide river
#

i will project myself into your home and fill all your shoes with sugar i swear to god

scarlet kettle
#

what did i just walk into

wide river
#

ANYWAY,

spiral osprey
#

on the sgg fans server sparrow's nickname has been pain imp

#

for like

#

ever

#

because they deliver gutpunch fic

wide river
#

yes indeed

spiral osprey
#

but on sgg fans server i'm a mod and sparrow isn't

#

and i have the power to change people's nicknames

#

sparrow just called themself a font gremlin and i thought that would be a good update πŸ˜‚

scarlet kettle
#

i feel like i’m missing so much Deep Loreβ„’ from the og server

spiral osprey
#

whether it's worth catching up on or not is really a personal preference lol

wide river
#

anyway @mild falcon which font in particular were you after

#

like from where in the game

mild falcon
#

sorry back

#

the part where you choose the triumverate and settings for pvp mode

#

oh, forgot, cant post pics

wide river
#

that's Alegreya SC, by the looks of things

spiral osprey
#

yeah, i think it is

#

i posted the link up a little bit, past the old server lore lol

#

it's a free google font

mild falcon
#

looks good, thanks

wide river
#

pyre primarily uses Alegreya SC for headers, titles, stats, that sort of thing; Crimson Text for the main body of text in the biographies; IM Fell in dialogue (specifically the DW Pica variant i think but i could never get a 100% match regardless of which i tried); DK Northrumbria for the main body of the book of rites, but Kells SD for the title of each chapter of it

#

DK Northumbria is also the font used for the titles of the triumvirates on the victory screen after a rite

scarlet kettle
#

ok maybe the font gremlin moniker is accurate GWfroggyBlobThonk

wide river
#

listen, i spent so long sitting in photoshop trying to pixel-by-pixel recreate screenshots

scarlet kettle
#

lmao

wide river
#

i feel like i've earned that name

onyx forum
#

if each mod gets an "x gremlin" name will it be even enough to go thru jcncnfmgm

#

if sgg disaproves im kidfing if theu dont im serious

spiral osprey
#

i dont think we should gremlin here but nothing is stopping us from gremlinning in soup

#

i have to be lore gremlin though

onyx forum
#

you must

#

hang on offtopic

πŸ‘

lunar flame
#

anyone else Thinking about Deluge on this night

onyx forum
#

all ways

spiral osprey
#

never

onyx forum
#

weve covered the entire spectrum of things you can think about

mild falcon
#

gilman has 4 emojos and deluge has none

lunar flame
#

You’re absolutely right. We need a Deluge emote.

thick carbon
#

2 states of mind: thinking about deluge and avoiding thinking about deluge

#

that’s it

dense remnant
#

are spoilers allowed in this channel

#

just checked the rules seems like its cool

#

i just beat pyre

#

loved the game

elder apex
#

yeee it is

#

Look in description of channel xD

dense remnant
#

does anyone else feel like the oralech fight was a little disappointing

#

i was hoping for some kind of 3v1 boss fight version of the rites

mild falcon
#

oralech still has op stats, except for the 1 hope

#

felt pretty climactic to me

dense remnant
#

hm

mild falcon
#

would've been weird to totally throw away some mechanics for the final boss

dense remnant
#

i mean they have done weird stuff with the mechanics

elder apex
#

still dont know never got that far as my computer is way to old to run the game so i could only do until liberation rite

dense remnant
#

like when you first get the girl and your fighting the waves of enemies

mild falcon
#

sure, but that's a tutorial

dense remnant
#

true

mild falcon
#

final bosses should be a test of the skills you've made throughout the game or whatever

dense remnant
#

i guess

#

now that im done im interested in what characters were other peoples favorites

#

they should release stats on which characters were most commonly left behind

elder apex
#

rukey and tizo was my favourites

#

although i liked all of the nightwings

#

and liked the characters in general

dense remnant
#

i liked tizo and jodi a lot

#

and sir gilman

#

the character design in the game is amazing

elder apex
#

i sorta really liked barker and his gang as its sort of like me in being an anarchist sorta

dense remnant
#

haha

#

their music is great

elder apex
#

although im not really an anarchist i can relate xD

#

Trueeee

fringe orchid
#

I really liked *ae

#

She is so innocent and sweet

spiral osprey
#

boy didn't change a bit

#

i remember thinking "oh that's just there so they can cut off the demo at a convenient point"

#

but, no,

lime mural
#

the only person who never pushes you to the side is manley

#

what a sweetheart

#

always keeps his promises

spiral osprey
#

god i love how wrong we were about everything before the game dropped

#

remember thinking sandra was just like a normal character because we only saw her in multiplayer and we thought iggy and barker were members of the beyonders

lime mural
#

i only caught pyre 10 days before release and thought jodi was a dude
