pyre

[winged token]

Do you unlock anything by beating the game?

[young folio]

i believe true nightwings difficulty is unlocked by beating the game?

[winged token]

Oh nice

[hasty river]

Can anyone help me? I really wanted to start this game, but wanted to get it to work with my dualshock 4 😦

[thick agate]

have you tried using a program called ds4windows? I typically use it for these kinds of problems

[hasty river]

Ever since Steam started supporting dualshock 4, never needed to go back to ds4. And since the game is suppose to support dualshock 4, I didn't think I would need it. Isn't DS4windows used so windows recognizes the dualshock 4 as an xbox controller?

[thick agate]

that's the intended purpose, yeah -- but i've found that simply having the program open and the controller linked, for whatever reason, leads whatever game im playing to actually recognize my dualshock as a dualshock

[hasty river]

Will try it. This is the correct site, right? https://ryochan7.github.io/ds4windows-site/ I know there are different versions

[thick agate]

yes, this is the version I use

[hasty river]

This might be the reason: Emulate a DS4 v.1 for games that only support a Sony DS4 v.1 in some situations. Allow third party DS4 support or wireless support for some games

[thick agate]

could be! never really looked into it myself, always just set up two profiles -- one for xbox and one for dualshock haha

works like a charm, though

[hasty river]

Good news it stopped recognizing the controller as a steam controller, and it shows the design of the dualshock. Bad news, it shows xbox button prompts, which means it didn't fix anything.

Any chance you know if I need to change some configuration on DS4Windows?

[thick agate]

do you have any profiles set up? if so, make sure you have the emulated controller set to dualshock 4 and not xbox

[hasty river]

If I choose DS4 instead of xbox the game doesn't recognize any controller

Maybe I'm setting up the profile wrong?

[thick agate]

hm -- make sure you're using the recommended gamepad presets, it's possible that the button bindings aren't mapped to anything if it isn't working

also, if you have the game open at the moment -- try just restarting the game, that happens to me sometimes as well

[hasty river]

I haven't touched the presets, only changed emulated controller from xbox to dualshock 4 on the "Other" tab in the profile menu

[thick agate]

and restarting the game didn't help?

[hasty river]

I do the changes while the game is turned off

And have restarted the game and it doesn't read the controller at all, when the emulated controller is dualshock, only xbox.

Why can't games have a simple option to display prompts from xbox, or playstation, or nintendo? Rebel Galaxy had that option, that way it didn't matter if the game recognized the controller as xbox, you could use playstation prompts (or vice versa). A simple toggle in the settings menu would fix most of this problems. Especially now that Steam has a controller emulator built-in.

[thick agate]

If only! I'm not sure what the issue is here, I've never run into this before -- some googling has led me to believe that the user data and starting fresh may help, but I really don't know if that will work or not

[scenic kiln]

Could also try setting the launch option /PS4Gamepad=true. It's one of the options for Hades and might work for Pyre

[hasty river]

Just copy this: /PS4Gamepad=true

?

[scenic kiln]

Ye

[hasty river]

Did nothing :S

[scenic kiln]

If you haven't already, I'd suggest also reaching out to the devs through their support email, they might be able to help

I'm not sure what else to try, unfortunately

[hasty river]

I have, but I won't expect a reply until after the new year's weekend.

[rancid slate]

there is a single player campaign that i think is very good

you can also play multiplayer against friends with steam play

very worthwhile game

[prime dirge]

The VN format for the campaign lets SGG tell a very gripping story. If you don't mind reading or have played (and liked) other VNs, this'll be right up your alley

Also the OST is an embarrassment of riches

[timid silo]

It's great at both! The single-player campaign is rich and filled with amazing characters

[prime dirge]

Talking to people and watching them go about their daily life is a highlight of the game for sure. And the game's ambience is top notch (maybe on par with Transistor? I haven't quite played it )

[shut tapir]

ti'zo is best boy

[desert stratus]

Correct

[bleak shoal]

I still wonder why Pyre is not out on Switch.. such a shame 😦

[orchid acorn]

The devs commented on it in a reddit AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ixri6b/we_are_supergiant_games_creators_of_hades_pyre/g68jji3/). It still does make me sad tho

[midnight hawk]

one day i will be extremely wealthy and i will say excuse me mr greg supergiant i will give you so much money so you can hire so many people and spend so much time and port pyre to switch which will end all war and being about world peace

[lime mural]

maybe we should instead get 9 people together and (spoiler) ||inspire a revolution as peacefully as possible||? /j

oh how the turntables, supergiant

NOXALAS!

[tropic yarrow]

Pyre's plot ||is a tree gets criminals to join a cult so they can stage a communist revolution|| and i love every second of it

[midnight hawk]

i don't know if the nightwings are very cult-like

[tropic yarrow]

The modern definition of cult would probably apply to rites/whatever the scribe’s religion is

[iron flax]

modern definition of cult applies to all religions

[trail talon]

not sure if every religion would count as a cult, just as not every cult is a religion. depends on your definition of cult, maybe

i'm not sure about the ||communist|| bit either? seems more ||Republican|| to me ||and i don't mean the US GOP||

[lime mural]

cult not necessarily in the "sect" kind, but in the "ritualistic worship-like practices" definitely checks out!

Volfred deserves little a communism. as a treat.

[lime mural]

what if tariq had wings

he already has feathers on his coat

what if he had wings

[timid silo]

He can still very well have wings under the coat for all we know

What IS a Tariq anyway

[lime mural]

A miserable little pile of secrets?

[timid silo]

Well, yes,

[mild falcon]

wings under the coat and horns under the headband

[lime mural]

i feel called out

(as in, i have a fic in the workings with that exact premise)

(technically no wings but shhh)

[desert stratus]

Hah!

[dusky cradle]

This is your reminder to absolutely Love Sandra from the bottom of your heart and do nothing but good deeds towar her. Despite the sass.

[vestal bluff]

Not despite, but because of

[trail talon]

might explain how he traveled so far a distance from the blackwagon so fast and left no trace of his passage

[bleak shoal]

Bless Greg and his heart. I mean, it's only logical. Programming and developing for a hardware platform that didn't exist yet.. well, it's a butt. Pity I won't have Bastion, Transistor and Pyre on m'Switch

[orchid acorn]

Bastion and Transistor are on switch! I think specifically for Pyre they didn’t think it would be worth it.

[bleak shoal]

Oh, I have Transistor on my Switch. As well as PS4 and PC. But yea.. it's a shame they would think that. I think it's a good game to just play for a bit and then put down for a break

[orchid acorn]

Yeah, pyre would be great on switch.

[potent dove]

Hello, i have a little something. My Pyre desktop short cut doesn't really have an icon (just a generic world icon) and it bothers me more than it should. 😕

[scenic kiln]

if you right click on it, there should be a properties window you can open, which has a "change icon" button

[potent dove]

but there are only the old windows icons. Doesn't have Pyre a cool icon or is it the world icon?

[scenic kiln]

I don't know, sorry, but there should be a way to add a custom icon, and you could grab an image from the Pyre wiki

[potent dove]

okay, thx.

[orchid flicker]

I have Pyre on my computer and it does have its own icon. I wonder why it didn't show

[vestal bluff]

The exe itself has a custom icon

Couldn't find the .ico file though so idk how to fix it not showing up

[potent dove]

It seems to happen rarely with steam games. I managed to find the icon in the steam - common folder.

[floral bramble]

@naive tangle here!

sorry for the ping

[gusty glen]

https://imgur.com/a/NIUdYHP

Is this intended gameplay?

[thick agate]

Yes :)

[shut tapir]

thats my favourite rite site!

[cunning sluice]

I’ve played a lot of Hades and a little bit of Bastion so I decided to jump into Pyre

I’ve been having a blast

Just finished the liberation rite for the first(?) time

[orchid acorn]

I don't think the characters are supposed to be off the field... I bet the issue is a one-time thing though, and will be fixed after starting another rite.

[vestal bluff]

Nah they're doing it on purpose lol

It's a bug with Sap teleporting that people combo with the Harp swap to get their whole team out of the arena

[midnight hawk]

aj would be so mad if everyone just continued the game off of the rite area

[timid silo]

That sounds like an invitation to do just that 😂

[scenic kiln]

we need the opposite of :P

[midnight hawk]

double thumbs down aj hands

[scenic kiln]

yes

[vestal bluff]

Makes me wonder if the Book says anything about what happens to the Orb after the Rites

Are you allowed to just… take it home?

The existence of the Shooting Star talisman is proof they don’t just disappear or turn into dust or something

[rancid slate]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/800967579920760855/929141445045149716/thumb.png

dammit

how's that

there was a thumbsdown but damn you proxy

[lusty robin]

Amir fix your game

[orchid acorn]

Aj needed to amend the book of rites after one triumvirate tried stealing the orb. “Also no taking the orb >:(“

[iron flax]

why is there "NO DC" in the top left corner of my game?

[lusty robin]

https://gyazo.com/214eaf354848693dc4b26e51029b43ac

Yeah the AI's got no idea how to deal with cursed talimans

🔮 👩 💍

Orb wife

[trail talon]

“So, you would besmirch the laws of the rites just as you’d besmirch the laws of our noble Commonwealth, Reader?? I cannot say I’m surprised”

[trail talon]

doesn’t the book mention that the orb will fall from the sky at the beginning of the rite? if it appears from nowhere, it may just…go back to nowhere

[prime dirge]

Plot twist:

||Now at the end,
as we bid farewell and return to the stars,
we shall find our way home||
||refers to Tariq and Celeste "taking the ball home", so to speak. They have to keep the ball so they can kick off the next rite era, after all||

[pastel anchor]

Gotta make sure we don't damage the celestial basket ball

[vestal bluff]

The existence of the Shooting Star talisman is proof that Orbs don’t just disappear or turn into dust or something

The item description is

A cracked Celestial Orb, once used by a triumvirate that ultimately prevailed in a Liberation Rite long ago.

[gusty glen]

That's actually not what we did for this bug.

We didn't use the sap blink to teleport out of the map.

There is a very consistent strategy involving an imp portal. The portal can be glitched in a way that causes it to lead to a spot outside of the map.

Because as you can see, the player that has exiles outside of the map does not have a sap on their team.

[vestal bluff]

That’s a new one

[gusty glen]

It's what we did on the Lids stream. When you walked in on us dying in VC.

All you need is player 1 taking a sap with the larger sapling, player 2 taking an imp that has a portal.

1. You put the sapling at a spot where it will banish the imp when it respawns, but the imp won't kill it while it's invincible. It's a little precise but very consistent.
2. You banish the imp, then position near player 2's pyre with the orb.
   3.Once the imp starts spawning, so when the countdown reaches 0, you score.
   During that score, the imp's respawn invincibility will wear off, and the imp will die during the score animation. When it happens, you get a little screen shake.
   At the start of the next round, there will be a portal behind player 2's pyre.
   4.Hop in there, and you'll be out of bounds.
   Some maps are easier to walk around out of bounds than others. The Isle of Khaylmer is very good because there's a big open area without invisible barriers where you can just mess around.

[stoic junco]

Holy mackerel.

[naive tangle]

Do you recommend buying Hades Switch physical?

(not sure if this goes in #fan-works)
https://notanicewitch.tumblr.com/post/672928926177296384/para-nunca-volver-todos-los-triunviratos
I adapted all the verses of never to return into spanish, making it as sing-able as possible while maintaining the original meanings. I used the terms used in the official spanish translation (such as triumvirate's names) I also included an original strophe for The Beyonders (based on this one: https://www.deviantart.com/tophat-crow/art/Never-to-Return-Beyonders-710945475) between The Tempers and the Nightwings:

"Por los Escribas nos reunimos hoy.
Los Transgresores atienden al Lector,
Las Hermanas no luchan por libertad,
Luchan por aliviar su eternidad.
¿Quién se alzará esta vez?
Su pira arde con un brillo espectral
Guíados por la Invidente, Sandra.
Sin pestañear a todos aplastará."

The translation would be:

"By the scribes we gather today.
The Beyonders serve the Reader,
The Sisters do not fight for freedom
but to ease their eternity.
Who will rise this time?
Their pyre burns with a spectral blaze.
Guided by the Unseeing, Sandra,
she will crush them all without blinking"

[fallow spire]

is pyre considered a jrpg

[timid silo]

It sure has the party progression of one but I don't think it should...

[midnight hawk]

yeah it lacks a lot of the elements that make up a jrpg so i'd say no

[fallow spire]

[lime mural]

its not even japanese (?)

[fallow spire]

ye but it doesn't have to be

i think

[pastel anchor]

A Japanese roleplaying game does not need to be Japanese

[timid silo]

Much like the cook of an Italian dish doesn't have to be Italian. That's still a carbonara you've got right there.

I think for a long time JRPG has come to mean a set of design elements, although YMMV on which specific ones may or may not apply...

[trail talon]

it’s still a wonderful game to play, especially if you’re a fan of virtual novels

[midnight hawk]

even if you're not it's still really good. i'm not really into vns but still enjoyed the reading aspect to it

[heady karma]

I can’t even read, i stayed for the basketball

[worn geyser]

im playing through this game for the first time and i just came to say that the soundtrack goes hard

[lime mural]

Oh yeah, Darren outdid himself

(thank you Darren)

[fallow spire]

yea i love the soundstrack

and

everything else about this game

🥺

[toxic python]

Hearing the soundtrack ingame was such an experience

[dusky cradle]

There are a few spots in game that really shock you, audiowise that is.

-Volfred speaking English, a.k.a showing that he is able to read.
-Hearing Vagrant song for the first time.
-Of course, the ending soundtrack.

For me, Volfred speaking always sends shivers down my spine...

[desert stratus]

Spoileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeersssssssssss

[desert stratus]

poke spoilers!

Waitenm

[dusky cradle]

Spoilers are okay here-

[desert stratus]

forgot this channel was yeah

sorry

[desert stratus]

I panic.

[dusky cradle]

[young folio]

yeah, that first moment really shocked me! when i first played through the game, i really thought i was imagining it, or imagining the rest of the game not being in english

[dusky cradle]

I think that makes it so strong, and puts into context how rare the ability to be a reader is. It's a powerful message.

And I am really happy to see that it is used only once-

[toxic python]

Vagrant song ingame was something else

Also shoutouts to the dissidents theme for giving me a confused moment for the whole change in soundtrack lol

[lime mural]

Yeah those three moments are just

[iron flax]

I was today years old when I realized Ti'zo's cast was "imp-lode"

[scenic kiln]

I-

...

Huh

[weak pollen]

Is ||Vagrant Song|| the song for the ||Liberation Rites||

[dusky cradle]

Nope-

[dusky cradle]

It's the one Rukey asks Tariq to play.

[midnight hawk]

"i too can read" just knocked me on my ass

[lime mural]

Everyone say thank you, Cyrus!

[stoic junco]

||I, too, can read, my boy.||

||Forbidden though the words may be.||

[dusky cradle]

It's a real shocker.

And the VA does a hellova job with it.

Better yet, the music and surroundings dim out, and the focus is solely on Volfred.

And then that bass of a voice-

[midnight hawk]

it's such a well done scene

like you Feel It when it happens

[vestal bluff]

It’s cause the music is also gone for that section of the scene

[trail talon]

did a proper double take when it happened! for a second i didn’t recognize English and only had a feeling that something sounded weird

[trail talon]

||loved In the Flame as well, really motivated me for the endgame||

||only wish the whole song played||

[toxic python]

||mourning song before one of the liberation rites was great too||

Just chills

[trail talon]

might i add ||the moment aj peaces out for that rite and the absence of his voice is somehow deafening||

[trail talon]

that one just made me happy lol

||like, omg they’re singing together <3||

[trail talon]

i’m not normally a competitive person, but that song actually riled me up in the best way

[toxic python]

Is such a nice song to get to play wizard basketball

[trail talon]

by the time you meet the dissidents, you realize how different your adversaries are and will be from each other

you have:

typical dislikable adversary

an honourable gentleman

”you wanna fight, punk??!!”

[toxic python]

Rock intensifies

Also il never will be over ||Oralech casually appearing in the vagon||

[prime dirge]

||Casually? I felt like a deer in the headlights||

||I know you're in the place you used to call home, but I now represent the Nightwings and you're something else entirely. But have you considered not killing me? Entertained it, perchance?||

[orchid flicker]

"so I see yall just lettin ANYBODY in here"

[shut tapir]

love how the dissidents just ||reinvents astral basketball in both of their endings||. out there living their best lives. visionary.

meanwhile chastity's theme is too good for the likes of them

[midnight hawk]

barker is living the life we spotify all be living:

• do whatever you want
• don't care about what anyone else thinks
• get sent back to hell just to play basketball

[prime dirge]

I'm still in awe at their description. It captures what makes them special in only a few words.
I think it said, Chaotic firebrands unconcerned with what's really at stake here?

I think you'd enjoy reading this bit, @shut tapir

sweats in almost pinged Greg by accident

[shut tapir]

haha maybe i'll switch to gray here instead

[weak pollen]

why is there an acheivment for failing in a ||liberation rite?||

[scenic kiln]

|| because it progresses the story in a different way than succeeding ||

[weak pollen]

just found it odd that you'd get an achievement for literally failing

[weak pollen]

I beat Pyre. I was happy I played it. My only criticism is that the game takes too long to open up. But it makes sense why.

[shut tapir]

i thought it was pretty clear the Nightwings were meant to be ||the rival group that are the heel to the other teams being the underdogs. people usually root for the latter to succeed||.

like, there's a reason why the achievement is called "Mercy Shown"

[toxic python]

Even the book of rites mentions it iirc

[shut tapir]

it's where i learnt it, ya

[midnight hawk]

it's very funny for every game to be like "you're the underdog, you have to fight to be the best" and then pyre is just like "lol ur already the best"

[lime mural]

It's actually a really interesting political plot-point, if you think about it - in relation to the liberation rites, the nightwings are literally privileged. They don't have to focus on the regular rites as the other triumvirates do, and in return, this is also what allows them to focus in disrupting the status quo. They're not risking anything in relation to getting home, after all

[shut tapir]

i went back to my savefile so i can complete sandra's storyline ||and take the orb with me. tried to let oraleech win this time too but i keep failing at that oops. but i got the good ending for him now, even if the rebellion isn't as peaceful this time without volfred there||.

[supple solar]

GOD ||Volfred speaking english smacked me in the face||

[midnight hawk]

it's also a good way of keeping with the "you progress no matter what" and still getting to the lib rite even if you lose

[lime mural]

Yeah absolutely!

I can 100% believe that it's a mechanic that arose out of convenience and also happened to contain an impactful message on social movements

[tight wolf]

finished pyre. almost cried

got the violent revolt ;-;

@midnight hawk would it be ok if I dm you a question for a second?

[midnight hawk]

@spiral zealot yeah go for it

[spiral zealot]

got the go ahead so here it is

through the use of a few mods i removed the caravan and moved and zoomed the camera around (in effect) to get most areas of the map (Glade of Lu is fairly messed up) zoomed out to show the entire area with no caravan, all the images are here: https://imgur.com/a/pXDiHyX
If you want me to try to get specific places in the game then dm me and ill try to get it for you 😄
Realized that imgur has horrible image compression so if you want the high quality ones DM me

[scenic kiln]

Oooh

[midnight hawk]

now when people ask for pictures of the map we have them. then you for doing this erumi

[spiral zealot]

👍 was a real pleasure

[young folio]

omg that’s awesome!! now I’m curious, how does the glade of lu look

[spiral zealot]

if someone has a save in the glade then i can see, but i dont feel like playing to it (as i dont have any saves as i got a new computer)

[young folio]

oh it looks like I have one :D

[spiral zealot]

if you dm me that would be great

[spiral zealot]

no results, glade looks the same 😦

let me just pin this one

[spiral zealot]

To build on this filmed some short videos on this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnaE1kB5IAV37_HiidGC8AuBilPiZBzMY
I will be adding longer ones later, but i have no idea how to loop videos like that, and Failer graciously volunteered. They will be added to the playlist later. Each video is about 3 minutes long and the audio and visuals are not guaranteed to loop nicely if you set them to loop. Enjoy

[young folio]

thats awesome! these look like they would make really nice wallpapers for wallpaper engine if they looped...

[spiral zealot]

gonna try working on that, might be impossible though as i have no idea how to edit videos and it may take literally 1000 years of video before all the animations line up again

[spiral zealot]

plus i just noticed the animations in the game dont actually loop nicely, they just snap back to the start 😭 , sothis may well be literally impossible to make it loop nice

[vestal bluff]

Makes my task a bit tougher don’t it…?

[trail sierra]

I noticed that a Vagrant Song has a really similar rhythm to a song named "The House of the Rising Sun" (I haven't play the game yet btw)
https://youtu.be/u438nebJzkI

[scenic kiln]

oooh

[next girder]

I'm back after 70,000 years because I rediscovered the Alpha/Beta versions of Pyre songs that got mined up years ago in the unofficial discord and remembered how much this game bangs

How are we doing gamers

[deft quail]

Not great…but nothing that a little of pamitha’s moonshine can’t fix

[spiral zealot]

well enough

rukey's mustache always makes me feel better though

[lime mural]

I have come up with yet another messed up and sad fanfic premise to put Hedwyn and Tariq through, so I'm doing great!

[lime mural]

(how to end a conversation 101?)

[timid silo]

(Volfred voice) you don't. just keep talking

[midnight hawk]

ok. more context. pyre 2 comes around, what kind of elements would you be interested in it having, which also includes what kind of plot you're interested in

[lime mural]

Skyrim-style open-world exploration of the Sahrian Union!!

[midnight hawk]

ooh

what character would u play as

[lime mural]

!!!! I didn't even think that far!

...what if you could choose in like an Octopath kind of way?

[midnight hawk]

ooh i like that

[lime mural]

I don't even care about combat that much (while it would be cool, it might also not work with Pyre's core tenets of avoiding bloodshed) - I just want the lore and NPCs and sidequests!

[midnight hawk]

maybe you would get certain bonuses for certain characters, like hedwyn has more stamina because he did long rides and all that

[lime mural]

and romance routes

[midnight hawk]

you'd also have to choose who went up and who stayed down... would it be based on your save file or could you choose for the game?

i feel like it'd be hard to have a sequel without Volfred and/or hedwyn up

[lime mural]

Realistically, I think it might be set like a few generations after the events, with brand-new characters?

That'd avoid savefile ending preferences

Wait wait wait

you play as one of Hedwyn's foster-siblings

Or Volfred's agents

[timid silo]

Plenty of examples of non-combat gameplay as of late! Pure exploration seems to be a hard sell (I suspect it goes along better with puzzles, and designing that combo is a pain. Still! Obduction exists, Sable exists) but any amount of character interaction can make for a compelling gameplay loop

[lime mural]

Yeah!

[timid silo]

🥺 🥺 🥺 (Hedwyn's foster sibling who's a Volfred agent...)

[lime mural]

Excuse me how does it feel to have the most brilliant ideas on the planet

(/pos)

Hedwyn is so proud of them

[timid silo]

YES

[lime mural]

Everyone make your own Pyre OCs, sole condition is that they're a foster-sibling of Hedwyn

(and foster-child of Jodi's for obv reasons)

[dark phoenix]

Depending on the target audience, an adventure game (as a genre) shouldn't be too hard to do. The best fit I can think of is Oxenfree, being both 2D, non-combat, having just a few trivial puzzles and being very character-based with a focus on the dialogue

[deft quail]

Shouldn’t pyre 2 actually have pyres?

[midnight hawk]

the pyres are metaphorical

[dark phoenix]

the real pyres are the... friends we made along the way...??

What's up everyone! I'm a student from Harvard working on a cool little gaming startup. Looking to talk to some people about their gaming habits! We can do it through DM, no links or voice chat. Any volunteers?

[scenic kiln]

(I'd probably suggest asking in #video-games , you're more likely to get a response there) (not to say you won't get one here, just more likely)

[last plaza]

Sure, will do!

[trail talon]

all i know is that i’d want a sequel. it would be interesting to see how the SU and the Downside interact with literally no way of travelling from one to the other. i’d love to see what the world might be like in a distant future, when the technology is more advanced and people are starting to wonder whether the two areas could be properly connected

the starting point in the journey to reconnect the two sides would obviously lie in research of the rites, and perhaps a search for descendents of members of the old triumvirates

as well as the waterfall(?) of ascension and how it worked

maybe tariq and celeste would even show up somewhere, who knows how long they live

[lime mural]

I would pay so much money for this to happen like you don't even know

If there's a timeskip between Pyre and Pyre 2, then I'd really want the player to have the chance of walking around in the city and randomly finding some musicians practicing.

Among their repertoire is a song that two wanderers handed down to them.

You sit down near them. They sing, ||We sing of the last, of the Nightwings who having broken the cycle, shall live on in sooong||

On the other hand I'm not sure I want that. My heart may not be able to handle that punch

[midnight hawk]

thank you so much!

so if i can count correctly it's roughly 8 yrs

[tropic yarrow]

just thinking about the fun irony that The Essence's theme uses hand claps as percussion despite the fact they don't have hands

very irrelevant to whats going on here but interesting to me at least

[midnight hawk]

feet claps

[elder nimbus]

tariq definitely has a second pair of arms he uses to clap their precussion in a liberation rite

[orchid acorn]

this explains everything

[elder nimbus]

[tropic yarrow]

little paws emerge from the harp's wings from time to time that they use to clap

they have not realized that they can grasp objects yet

[lone cape]

Hi! I just downloaded Pyre to play it for the first time and I was wondering if it's better to play it with controller, keyboard or keyboard+mouse

[slender forge]

to me personally its really difficult to use keyboard and/or mouse

[scenic kiln]

I was fine using M&K personally

[midnight hawk]

i liked keyboard+track pad personally

[valid apex]

I have a question, but to avoid any possible spoilers, I would just like an answer of yes or no without any elaboration. That said, I would appreciate it if you could help.

My question is; ||I liberated someone before getting their bio info filled out. Is there a way to view it or fill it out later in the game despite being liberated?||

[zealous dawn]

||Yes and no?||

[valid apex]

Good enough, thanks

[zealous dawn]

I would have to elaborate a bit on that😅

[valid apex]

Nah i’m good thanks ;p

[zealous dawn]

As you wish, although I wouldn't say anything about the plot ^^

[valid apex]

Hmmmm…. I might back to you on that…

[zealous dawn]

You can return to it after you finish the campaign ^^

[valid apex]

A similar question; ||the person I liberated didn’t get a chance to fo a trial for Sandra either, does this affect anything with her eventually storywise? Like, am I locked out of something happening if I did it for everyone?||

[prime dirge]

@valid apex ||I'm pretty sure there won't be any consequences, other than missing on very minor dialog.||

||I mean, she's been training exiles since forever. Having a genuine chat with someone, though? It's very rare for her to have a chance at that ||

[valid apex]

After ||Jodi agrees to start working together with Pamitha, is there any more dialogue/development between the two? Considering sending Jodi back next but not sure if that’s a thing.||

[prime dirge]

||Someone will have to chime in with the answer for that particular interaction. Either way, you're likely to miss out on some cute scenes no matter what you do. There's quite a few of those and sending people up means you lose out on some...so my advice would be to sit back and enjoy the box of chocolates we here call Pyre||

The best one for me was a - scene, they were ||honing their stealth skills||

[valid apex]

Why is it so easy to miss dialogue in this game? ;;

[prime dirge]

I think that's common for VNs. Even more so for SGG stuff with their great casts

And it serves as yet another reason to replay

(Also you can grab your roles over at #bot-commands)

[valid apex]

Actually, with visual novels, there’s usually an easy way to access earlier saves, and sometimes they even let you go back a dialogue window so you can rewind and see what the other choices have to offer. On other occasions, they have the option to skip by literally all the text except for any text you haven’t seen before.

[prime dirge]

Ah. So they have countermeasures to this possibly-natural VN trait

Pyre would be a tad messier with how the saves diverge quickly after lib rites and such. But that would be a great feature to have nonetheless

[timid silo]

Afaik, if Sandra hadn't called them yet, no consequence. But if she had and you didn't do it, yes consequence!

[lime mural]

Wait what's the consequence 👀 I've always been too diligent to see that lmao

[timid silo]

I think you can't get her full ending even if you've done the other prerequisite ||which afaik is talking to her at any time she's got something new to say||

[lime mural]

NOOOO

That's terrible 😨

[timid silo]

IT IS

[valid apex]

Good, they were never called to begin with. I always do the trials the second I get them.

Probably because Sandra’s one of my favorite characters :p

[bleak shoal]

Seriously, how did Greg push out all this lore in what, a year or so?

also that Nautical Bell is really alluring..

[lime mural]

It's more like 2-3 years, I think, but it's still beyond impressive!

[valid apex]

So I learned why Barker was banished… Yeah, that seems about right…

[lime mural]

Yup! :D

[valid apex]

Continuing off what I asked earlier about Sandra, ||I unlocked the last trial, does the conversation with her involve you choosing either to stay back from the crystal or fight its influence to stay with Sandra? Or is it supposed to be something else and it turns out the one exile I liberated before they were even offered a trial did in fact screw me over?||

[valid apex]

Also what’s the prerequisite for a character to ||tell you their past? One of my characters refuses to tell me despite literally everyone else doing so already||

[lime mural]

Sometimes other dialogues just take priority and there's nothing you can do about it 😔 🙏 they'll tell you eventually!

[valid apex]

||I wanted to free them this time around, but they never told me, and I don’t want to free them before they do ||

[lime mural]

That's rough, buddy 😔

[bleak shoal]

The man himself corrected me after I DM'ed him. But yea.. 2-3 years, which is a considerable amount of time really

[midnight hawk]

creating a completely original universe with everything figured out (or mostly figured out) in 2-3 years is unbelievable... it's such a tiny amount of time to have everything come together. it's really impressive.

[bleak shoal]

I mean, I'm working on one that I conceived when I was 15..

[valid apex]

||They’re only giving me a choice between them and two people I don’t want to free yet even more… Uuuuuugh, guess they’re going free without ever telling me their past…||

[valid apex]

Important question I would appreciate an answer to at your earliest convenience; ||I have five exiles left, and I wanted to free Pamitha next, but I wanted to face the Essence for her freedom(because it’d be cool), and they were unfortunately beaten by a different team.

So I want to know, if I free someone else this time, will I get a chance to face the Essence next round and free Pamitha, or will something out of the norm happen next rite and I should just free her now? You can say “yes do it now” or “no you can wait” to make it as simple as possible without spoiling anything.||

Also, to all those that wanna just talk about the game, I’m really sorry for all the “newbie” questions I’ve been asking.

[timid silo]

Next time round should be okay unless you lost some liberation rites? Don't be sorry, liveblogged impressions and newbie questions are great!!

[scenic kiln]

pretty sure I did the same or similar when I first started

[lime mural]

I will warn you that the essence is a tough triumvirate to compete against, so be prepared for the possibility that... You might not win that rite it's a bit of a risk to take!

[valid apex]

Finally back

It’s good to know I haven’t been imposing, thanks for that.

[valid apex]

I have won each rite, and I know I can win this one through the magic of ||the “Restart Rite” button.|| Although to be fair, I wouldn’t even need to use that if I wasn’t using every single Titan Star at once.

Oh right, and quick question, is there a benefit to ||saying no to the idea of a sale for Falcon Ron? What happens in each choice?||

[lime mural]

I never found out to be honest, but I think you're fine either way!

[valid apex]

I’m being given the option to meet an adversary on one of the possible routes, does this influence anything?

[lime mural]

Ooooohhh

Go with your gut and enjoy the scenery ❤️

[valid apex]

Right before the final rite. I’m 99% sure I got ||Sandra’s good ending, if getting the option to take the crystal with me is any indication(and why in the world wouldn’t I)||

I only have ||Ti’Zo, Volfred, and Bertrude|| left, and although I was all set to pick the first one for this rite(save the best for last after all), I’m now debating if it might be better to choose the second one instead.

||(Bertrude seems perfectly fine with staying behind after all)||

On an unrelated sidenote, my guess was correct, there is in fact unique dialogue if ||you chose to free Pamitha in a Liberation Rite against The Essence and prevail.||

[deep wagon]

On that topic ||I was doing that when she said she wanted them to win instead so I paused, sat there for five minutes thinking(if a game can do that then congrats to the devs) and then lost on purpose and that is why pamitha never got liberated)||

Also, (Final liberation rite spoilers) ||at the end I wanted to free dae or whatever you call them, but then they told me I could free the true Nightwing person so I did (sorry dae)||

[deft quail]

this happened to me but i genuinely lost

[deep wagon]

Yeah I'm glad I kept pamitha because they're so fun(sadly I also had ||volfred||, did not like)

[deft quail]

i enjoyed getting drunk with pamitha

[deep wagon]

Oh yeah... That

[reef prism]

Is Pyre similar to Hades in terms of characters and story?

[deft quail]

it has many characters and they have interactions, I'm not sure how i would compare the story

[reef prism]

Alright and to be clear, I'm not asking about if the story is similar, I just mean if they have a similar style

[deft quail]

The story in hades is told through dialogue, pyre is told through text and music. Both games have great/similar narative design.

[valid apex]

Don’t forget atmosphere and art.

[deft quail]

well ofc, but i was making the distinction between hades

[lime mural]

Pyre is also told through juicy, cryptic lore tidbits in flavor text!

[valid apex]

I thought about it, but I figured ||Pamitha is needed up there most right now. Tamitha will only stoke the flames of conflict, but up there Pamitha might be able to help everyone on both sides, including her sister.||

[valid apex]

The distinction is it’s cosmic basketball

[valid apex]

I’m off, hopefully I’ll have a better idea of who to pick tomorrow.(I probably won’t, though.)

[lime mural]

Best of luck! The final journey in Pyre is always magical, and don't forget the option of making different choices in a repeat playthrough ❤️

[lime mural]

With that said (minor spoiler warning, but nothing specific) ||you may at one point be faced with a choice that can have potentially triggering consequences||, so if you have any specific concerns and would rather know in advance, feel free to DM me!

[toxic python]

I didnt have a choice in that regard ||having characters i barely used made kinda hard againdt flying lol||

[valid apex]

Well,I did it, I beat the game. I won the last rite, ||and although I picked Ti’zo who passed the decision to me, I chose to free Oralech. His character story afterwards showed I made the right call.||

By the way, I was curious, since versus mode uses the same name for The Moontouched Girl you chose in your file, what’s her name if you play versus mode(despite the warning not to) before even meeting her?

On a side note, it’s weird how attached I became to the name I chose in particular overtime. I can’t imagine her name being anything else at this point.

[prime dirge]

Did you get the ||peaceful revolt?||

[valid apex]

But of course~

[prime dirge]

I asked about her Versus name, but the results were inconclusive that time around

[valid apex]

I did win every single rite after all

[valid apex]

Maybe it’s randomized?

I’m assuming that if you have multiple files it’ll be the one you last played

[prime dirge]

I'd imagine the default name is Stowaway or Moontouched (Girl)

[valid apex]

Actually this statement implies the opposite is possible, which saddens me

[prime dirge]

You are now a certified Ligaratus! The Bound Together addiction is incurable btw

[valid apex]

Yaaaay~(whatever that is)

[prime dirge]

Pyre is all about being responsible for your choices, which shape the world in some way. So if you goof around and lose all the rites, well, there'll be some doubt among the crew that you're fit to be their Reader

Ligaratus is Reader in Sahrian. Noxalas means Nightwings, and that's the tip of the iceberg

[valid apex]

Oh, neat~

Also, it turned out I missed ONE PAGE in the book…

I guess there was a place I didn’t realize I never visited a second time.

[prime dirge]

I remember a dictionary from Almightyjanitor, but this is the one I could find in the pins

[valid apex]

Wait, there’s a made-up language for this game? That’s… immensely impressive…

[deft quail]

The stowaway’s name matches which ever campaign is loaded

[prime dirge]

Dare you play Pyre without listening to its music and dialog, Reader???

[valid apex]

Figured, what is it if you played versus before even touching campaign?

[valid apex]

Nope, I fail that challenge, sorry.

[deft quail]

I have no idea

My guess would be mae

Since thats the default

[valid apex]

There’s a default?

[deft quail]

In some of the code she’s referred to as mae

[valid apex]

Ah that makes more sense

IMO, her canon name is whatever you pick in your playthrough. Except Gae or Bae

[deft quail]

Yes, officially all the names are canon

[valid apex]

Makes sense

[prime dirge]

Pyre's music and dialog is a big part of the experience, so it may be worthwhile to replay it at some point...this time not on mute

There's so many songs. So much ambience

[valid apex]

Did someone play it on mute?

[prime dirge]

...
I thought you had, given that the existence of the Sahrian language took you by surprise

Nevermind, carry on

[valid apex]

Is THAT what that was? I just thought it was simlish since I didn’t see any rhyme or reason to it except a couple repeated terms.

Just “excelias” and “glorioso”

[toxic python]

In my case the ||essence winning one of the lib rites provocked a not so peaceful revolt||

[valid apex]

I’m wondering what happens if you ||free both sisters||

It’s as I thought though; ||Tamitha did indeed stoke the flames of conflict, despite her protests I knew Pamitha was needed up there||

[prime dirge]

It's apparently a full language! I only remember a few words of it though. I think Greg explains in the NoClip how all the voicelines say the same as the text box, but generally have fewer words

||The outcome of the revolt is probabilistic, tho. I freed both sisters and still got the peaceful revolt||

[valid apex]

Like 2/3s through the game I DID realize Ti’zo’s noises matches the text box exactly, which I thought was cool.

[valid apex]

Maybe spoilertag, but I meant in terms of their ||character stories at the end||

Wait, probabilistic? Does that mean ||if you free the max of 7 exiles you STILL have a minute chance of getting screwed over?||

[prime dirge]

There may be. ||The agents on the topside are doing their best to have the revolution succeed, then there's the exiles you liberate. Not sure if there's a way to liberate 7 NWs and still be <100% ||

[valid apex]

Well it was at ||89%|| before my final rite, and each ||freed exile|| seemed to increase it by about ||7-8%||, so it would end up being less than ||100%||

[prime dirge]

The chance of success ||increases after every lib cycle no matter what. It's a small but steady effect due to the efforts of Volfred's agents||

Pam's and Tam's topside ending is ||that they meet in some council or something, and Tam attacks her. Pam doesn't defend herself and she ends up losing some...mobility on one wing, I think?||

||Their relation improved a lot after that, actually. Still not on speaking terms but they'd greet each other IIRC, and Pam gained the peace of mind she had longed for ||

[valid apex]

Oh well that’s nice… ||still prefer the ending I got||

[deft quail]

There is a certain amount of exiles you free to guarantee the good ending

[valid apex]

Maybe spoilertag.
So the opposite isn’t true either; ||you can’t free none or only one and just get absurdly lucky and get the good ending?||

[midnight hawk]

||no. it's not based on chance; the chance of success percentage doesn't affect the game directly||

[valid apex]

Ah that makes sense, thanks.

[midnight hawk]

it would've been an interesting mechanic for sure but I feel like the game puts a big emphasis on working together and working hard to achieve your goals so ||if you have a 13% chance to succeed and you do, that's just a random chance, not an indication of that you've put in the work to have the revolution be successful||

[lime mural]

Okay but the idea of everyone speaking simlish is lowkey amazing

Sims!Pyre

[midnight hawk]

sims pyre is the only sims game that could run on my computer

it'd be really funny if had regular pyre but then you could also have a little sims-inspired section where you can control what the characters do

[timid silo]

The condition iirc is ||six Nightwings up. So if you won all previous lib rites, you can afford to send up Oralech or yourself at the end and still get the best ending. If not, you gotta stick to your guns and send up your anointed player.||

If you get 2-5 ||liberated Nightwings at the end, you get the middle ending. 0 or 1 is the worst, all-out violent ending... UNLESS that one is Volfred, who singlehandedly manages to get the middle ending||. Which is frankly the funniest thing.

As for the sisters ||I don't think they get a good ending either way? Their ending variable is whether they are on the same side or one topside one downside, regardless of who is where. Their relationship remains an open wound regardless, which I appreciate. They're on speaking terms if they end up on the same side but at the cost of breaking Pam's wing and 😬 ... I like it narratively but I wouldn't call it a better ending than putting them both in timeout at the antipodes and forcing them to get over it that way||

[midnight hawk]

||yeah i think it's not a good ending but the beginning of a possibility. maybe tam will come around. but it's going to take many years for it ever become something close to good||

[lime mural]

WAIT REALLY???

[timid silo]

SO I'VE BEEN TOLD AND I'VE BEEN LAUGHING EVER SINCE

[lime mural]

My god

[midnight hawk]

that's absolutely delightful

i mean he does ||give himself the highest percentage increase for the revolution||

[lime mural]

PFFFFT

[midnight hawk]

i love him so much

[lime mural]

Same 🥺

[lime mural]

Hard not to, honestly

[deep wagon]

The ending I got was ||2-5, because I let the essence win and I freed oralech||

I know it’s not the same voice actor, but whenever I hear The Voice, all I can think of is Merasmus from TF2.

Aw yiss. We have an answer!

[safe adder]

my 4 year old nephew wanted to watch me play Pyre today, I was right at the part where you meet the Pyrehearts. He was very interested in Gilman but creeped out by Deluge xD

[valid apex]

Going around again, since you can ask about it near the beginning of the game, Hedwyn told me his past, but he didn’t go into detail about ||his love. If I keep him around longer, will he tell me more? Does it update his bio further?||

[valid apex]

To be fair, Deluge’s eye almost looks like it’s popping out.

[timid silo]

Yes he does!

[valid apex]

Ah okay thanks, ||I liberated him first on the first play through so I wouldn’t have known||

[timid silo]

Switching it up upon replay has a lot of new convos to offer! c:

[toxic python]

||hedwyn first liberated gang||

[deep wagon]

Yess

[lusty robin]

yes

[elder nimbus]

||honestly liberating hedwyn was ond of the most incredible experiences ive ever had in a game||

[valid apex]

||If I’m not doing Hedwyn first this time, then should it be Jodariel or Rukey?||

[midnight hawk]

perhaps take a guess and see where it takes you

[valid apex]

That’s terrible advice, but I did it anyways.

||not an insult by the way, just trying to be amusing||

[midnight hawk]

pyre has a lot of branching storylines and it's good to go with your gut and see where it gets you. imo i think pyre is a game that really benefits of just playing and seeing what happens. there's no bad ending to these things

[valid apex]

There absolutely is a bad ending though…

It really would be easier if it had many of the standard features I’ve taken for granted from other VNs, such as reviewing everything that was just said, going back dialogue boxes, and saving one playthrough’s data in multiple slots.

[valid apex]

Also, the bigger concern here is that, while this is indeed what I did on my first playthrough, this is my second playthrough, so my biggest concern now is seeing as much of the game as possible.

[midnight hawk]

but the bad ending isn't bad. ||is a very sad way to go down, but the nightwings won and the fascists are defeated. there is room to move and grow from the ashes. it's not ideal, but it's far from a bad ending||

[valid apex]

That depends on your definition of bad I suppose…

[lusty robin]

||does the revolution fail if you liberate nobody?||

[midnight hawk]

my definition is aligned with the game's. even if you lose a rite, you get experience from it. failure leads to growth. so you get to the end and ||you get the bad revolution|| you've still won. there were many mistakes made along and it's not how one want it to but in the end, your main goal came to fruition

[valid apex]

My definition is that if it was ||achieved with violence, and the exiles of the nightwings that truly deserve to be free are instead trapped forever,|| that it’s a bad ending

[lime mural]

honestly for me the bad ending is just the one ||where Oralech doesn't make it|| and like, I get the decision to write that but come ON

[shut tapir]

||maybe living in the Downworld is also a type of freedom||

but i like that everyone's definition of a bad end are different too.

[toxic python]

||when i learned what hapened to him in certain i really dodged a bullet ||

[stuck cloak]

Just finished my first play through of the game last night and I gotta say it was 🥺 🙌 super great experience and I'm already excited to see what happens when I play through it again

[valid apex]

How many ||exiles did you liberate?||

[valid apex]

Agreed

[valid apex]

Same

[stuck cloak]

6! I definitely fudged it though by restarting rites 😅

[valid apex]

No shame in that, I did the same hue

I actually finished the game for the first time within this past week too, so neat coincidence~

[orchid flicker]

Nope! ||You just get the violent revolution ending||

[vestal bluff]

There is actually unique dialogue when you ||meet Volfred|| and ||have lost every single match up til that point||

[valid apex]

Is there secret dialogue if you equip the Jeweled/Runed Bands to two specific exiles?

[thick agate]

||I wish, but nope! ||

[valid apex]

Not clicking the spoiler(yet), but I assume that’s a yes? I have an idea of who it might be if that’s the case.

[deep wagon]

If anyone just got a random ping sorry

[lusty robin]

It’s all good 👍

[deep wagon]

I think I clicked Lapsonic and potato's names while scrolling than hit send

K

[valid apex]

Yeah I got that, it’s fine.

Also, are the bands actually mentioned in the special conversation, or just cause it?

[young folio]

i dont know why it was spoilered, its a no, haha. theres no conversation about it

theres not much dialogue i would call "secret" in the game, theres just a lot of it

[valid apex]

Aw nerts

[glossy marlin]

||you get some neat dialogue if you spam the nautical bell||

[zealous dawn]

||You can also spam Pam's bottle with moonshine, apparently. At least, when you have the first dialogue with her in the wagon ||

[shut tapir]

pyre's dialogue ran so that hades's can hit lightspeed

[valid apex]

I actually knew about both of those hue

[valid apex]

Last run I ||liberated Rukey too soon to resolve his storyline||. This run I was able to. ||Barker took it surprisingly well, I think I like him even more now.||

[valid apex]

So I was curious about something; what happens if ||both Jodariel and Ignarius escape from/stay in the Downside?||

[lusty robin]

||they meet each other if they both get out||

[valid apex]

And then…? You can’t leave me hanging like that.

[midnight hawk]

||the game has them linked up no matter what (even if you never play against them other than once their endings mention each other) so i imagine they get together in some capacity||

[lusty robin]

I can’t really remember lol I just remember it’s mentioned they meet

[lime mural]

...out of curiosity, did SGG post any valentine's specials for Pyre back when that was their latest game?

[valid apex]

You mean like art? Probably

[midnight hawk]

This sounds really dumb, but I just learned after beating Pyre that ||Sir Gilman|| has a mouth.

For a long time I thought he didn't have a mouth cause it made him look cuter

[valid apex]

To be fair, I didn’t immediately notice it either, ||but I still noticed it by the time I recruited him at least||

[topaz flint]

[knotty pine]

I feel like a pyre animated series would be amazing

Like all the characters moving and fully voiced

But it would be hard to represent the reader since their the "insert you own character in" type of character

[trail talon]

this would be totally amazing. the only problem besides deciding on a “canon” protagonist would be deciding a “canon” series of events

[prime dirge]

Could be something like that CK/EU idea we had a while back
Taking place after a timeskip, so there'd be fewer things that become canon in the Pyre timeline, during the leading-up-to-the-revolt period

[trail talon]

maybe…for a tv series, i’d definitely favour characters that people might already know, since it’s a translation to a new medium and all

it just occurred to me that the series might not need to centre around the reader…if it starts a little bit before the reader enters the scene, the show could follow the nightwings as they were before the formation of the nightwings. an immediate prequel(?)

[prime dirge]

Great idea tbh. It always looked like the original trio had a special banter that we didn't get to see enough of

i’d definitely favour characters that people might already know
> implying the Pyre fandom has more than 10 people in it

Point there being, Pyre fans will watch it at the first chance they get, SGG-fans that don't know Pyre will be mostly interested no matter what the cast is

[midnight hawk]

it could always be like that vampire show, wwjdits, it has different characters than the movie

[knotty pine]

Ye thats tru

[orchid acorn]

Each season could focus on a different group of exiles each in a completely different time period

[graceful geyser]

I play in Spanish, why my in-game dialogues are half Spanish-half English?

[scenic kiln]

Not sure, sorry. You could try verifying file integrity?

[gloomy steeple]

I've always thought it would be interesting to see an animated series of the Nightwings pre-exile, that way there wouldn't be any canon problem

[orchid flicker]

Do any of the characters have confirmed ages?

[midnight hawk]

i think ae is 19 but i could be wrong. there's a bit about her age as compared to the Blackwagon's

[gloomy steeple]

Yeah pretty sure ae is the only confirmed one, but we know how long they've all been in the downside, so you can make an educated guess

What nvm. They do upload to youtube

Poggers

[tall lantern]

This probably has been asked a million time, but will we ever see a switch port?

[naive cave]

One of the devs said in a Q&A that it'd be incredibly difficult to port it and they don't have any plans on doing it.

[tall lantern]

Darn so likely no, sad

Definitely will pick up a steamdeck if pyre is playable on it

[upbeat sage]

It hypothetically should be playable on the steam deck, however I don't have one so I can't be sure

[tall lantern]

The came supports controller so I dont see why it wouldn't, but yeah if anyone can confirm

[gloomy steeple]

It's not "deck verified" (via https://store.steampowered.com/greatondeck), but that doesn't mean it won't work. My guess is that it would, but no way to be sure right now I don't think.

[spiral zealot]

Pyre has the aspect ratio needed for it, so i mean it should all work in effect, and even if it doesnt detect the steam deck's controllers you can always use steam's controller mapping thing on it

[forest flicker]

an mmorpg with the combat system of transistor and pyre, in the world of pyre or in a futuristic world like the world of transistor with the option to travel to the past to a world like the one in pyre 😄

[spiral zealot]

Transistor + Pyre system, hmm how would that work?

[toxic python]

Everytime i replay this game i love the dissidents introduction

Just all the change of ost to rock is great

Also the Voice description of them

[timid silo]

Barker is great 😂

[toxic python]

And hi Sir gilman

[lusty robin]

What’s your problem with gilman

[toxic python]

Fall of soliam time :p ||Goodbye Rukey||

[glossy marlin]

The toned down part in the triumvirate selection screen at the Fall is so full of tension, I love it

[brittle wyvern]

I just got Pyre yesterday (currently just past midnight)

it's absolutely amazing

i don't like sports games but pyre definitely has a different feel to it that i enjoy. I also love the story and the mystery (such why ill probably avoid here in case of spoilers)

tbh before supergiant games i wasn't big on the story in video games (I love reading books though ), so far the stories of hades, bastion and now pyre have me hooked

Also i was wondering what controls you guys use for the rites, im currently using the default but i do have a controller i could try connecting if you would recommend it. is there a custom one that you guys use. thanks in advance

[toxic python]

Welcome to your quest for freedom

Have fun

[brittle wyvern]

thx

[toxic python]

I play with default bindings on keyboard too
Pyre is one of the only ones it feels nice

No clue how it is on controller

[brittle wyvern]

thanks, also is passing important cause i find it hard to do

[toxic python]

You will get to the ending no matter how many times you lose

Tho if you really care about winning certain rites you can restart it

[brittle wyvern]

nah, ill go where the story takes me.

one last thing

are there multiple endings based on characters. i noticed the enlightenment and was wondering if each character had a seperate ending depending on who got enlightened

[toxic python]

Characters have different outcomes and enlightment matters a bit yeah

Wont specify cause i probably gonna end up with spoilers

[brittle wyvern]

thanks for that

[prime dirge]

A quick suggestion: play at the highest difficulty you feel comfortable. That'll get you more invested in the plot.

That said, easy mode is fine

[brittle wyvern]

Im going to do regular difficulty and then after i beat the game once ill do it again on maximum

[toxic python]

Enlightement also matters for their masteries of an Exile (think of them as skills)

[brittle wyvern]

Thank you to both of you

Im going to evacuate here now so that i don't get spoilers until i beat the game also because i need to sleep a bit

if anyone has something to say to me please @ me so that i check the message

[toxic python]

Dw we practically spoiler mark everything (unless you open all of curiosity)

So you wont get mayor plot points suddenly in chat

[brittle wyvern]

i did that once for another game called dead cells, not making that mistake again lol. good to know in case i have any more questions

[prime dirge]

It's very often that you see some convo going on in the chat, you open it and it's 99% spoiler-marked text

[brittle wyvern]

thanks to both of you again and i'm going to sleep now

[toxic python]

[naive cave]

I personally use default controller but all of the control schemes are very good. It just depends on which you're most comfortable with.

[toxic python]

Im never ||letting the Fate reach the liberation rite again lmao, forgot how painful is their "aid" from the scribes||

[naive cave]

I really like that one.|| The outburst from -ae along with Dalbert's prayer make the whole rite feel that much more impactful for both sides. ||

[toxic python]

||oh i know is impactful but gameplay wise i was using the exiles with inspirations and Hedwyn wasnt one of them so had to endure the long times if Gilman was vanished||

Anyways, ||welcome aboard Bertrude||

wheeze just learned Barker reason for exile

[fast ridge]

So after taking an unexpectedly lengthy break, I just got around to finishing my first play through. That ending, my goodness.

||i live for brighton comentary (mainly the ones related to throwing the orb) and when you use volfred in the rites for thw first time||

[midnight hawk]

i love when ||oralech comes in and brighton throws a fit and storms out||

[orchid acorn]

||"It appears the nightwings are to face themselves this rite?"||

[midnight hawk]

also. so the nightwings have the archjustice, but do any of the other triumvirates have one? or do they play in silence

[prime dirge]

I've read some comments that say something like

Every time the stars align, a single rite takes place, and it's always some triumvirate against the Nightwings. That's why Lendel was so angry at the NWs due to their disappearance.

But I'm not convinced. ||The triumvirates fly all over the map as if each was going to their own rites, and the points tally of each triumvirate changes after every match the NWs play, whether they play against the NWs or not ||

tldr: Babs get on the phone with Greg plz

[trail talon]

i'm pretty sure the other triumvirates do have a Voice of their own. ||the lore that i remember says that any liberated exile has the chance to become a Voice for their own triumvirate, guiding their former teammates to enlightenment/liberation||

the archjustice must voice for the nightwings because of their position as The team against which all others are measured, but you probably don't need to be an AJ to be a Voice

[prime dirge]

||I'm really curious. What would the Dissidents' voice sound like?||

[timid silo]

||I wanna know what the voice for the team that was yeeted by Oralech had to say about it||

[trail talon]

||oh that's an interesting question. would the TNs have a voice? seems like they were newly created and not one of the original nine, which meant they're kind of outside the system||

[timid silo]

||the TN wouldn't, but when you first go against Oralech you thought you were going up against a different triumvirate who was meant to play there on that night...||

[trail talon]

||but if that triumvirate is not in attendance, would their voice be there?||

[midnight hawk]

||their voice is there just swearing up a storm||

[toxic python]

||isnt the "always against the nightwings" thing only for the lib rites?||

[prime dirge]

||I think the same. I can't find the original comments so I'm not sure what the OP meant ||

[trail talon]

they might have been confused? it's true that the ||rites can't go on without the NWs because they must always be present during a lib rite: meaning that if they're gone, the whole system grinds to a halt||

[prime dirge]

||I may also have misread the comment. Me. Misreading. That's almost as exile-worthy as the ability to read.||

[prime dirge]

Might have been this one. ||I think Sakura's question is about any rites at all, but the answers talk about lib rites in particular||

[orchid flicker]

Yes, I specifically asked about lib rites, and what would happen if two different teams that are not the Nightwings faced off at the Fall of Soliam.

tl;dr a whole load of nothing, apparently.

[prime dirge]

Maybe the orb wouldn't even appear

Is the pause screen a bunch of books being burned

[deep wagon]

Bae is superior

[valid apex]

After much experimentation, I have finally found the absolute happiest ending to this game.

You need to ||win every Liberation Rite and liberate Hedwyn, Jodariel, Rukey, _ae, Sir Gilman, and Volfred. Then, lose the final Liberation Rite.||

This ultimately results in the happiest possible ending for everyone involved.

[midnight hawk]

what makes that the happiest possible ending for you?

[orchid acorn]

I think its kind of silly to try to find the "good" ending for Pyre. No matter what happens it's bittersweet (for me at least).

[valid apex]

Happiest for all involved. Aside from the ||six liberated|| obviously being happy, ||Ti’Zo and Bertrude are happy wherever, Pamitha is with Tamitha(and strikes up an odd friendship with Bertrude), and Oralech finds closure and allows The Reader to go free.||

Incidentally, ||losing the final rite is the only way for both the Reader to go free and Oralech to live||

The ending is obviously still happy as long as ||you liberated six exiles||, but I found this combination to provide the most overall happiness for everyone involved.

Of course, this is all technically speaking and you’re entitled to your own opinions.

[thick agate]

I personally think Volfred and Oralech are happiest when they end up on the same side

[valid apex]

Ngl I never got that combination ^^;

[midnight hawk]

anything that involves ||oralech not you-know-whating|| is happy for me

[valid apex]

This tbh

Like I said, there are many combinations that are very happy

I just found this to have the overall happiest, if we were to measure happiness as a unit

Personally, I enjoy ||Rukey and Pamitha sort-of-but-not-really dating||

||(I know it’s more of a fun friendship but it’s funner to call it that)||

Obviously the happiest ending is ||putting the credits song into a sound editing software and splicing together the different versions so that everyone goes free||

[toxic python]

That spoiler mark didnt work

[valid apex]

I thought I fixed it but spoilers are technically allowed, I just like being considerate.

[next girder]

This is an extremely niche question but YEARS back, I swear someone found the beta voice lines for the Archjustice where he read days of the week and weather forecasts. Does anyone still have those?

[scenic kiln]

(It didn't work because you have extra ~~ in the way, I believe)

[thick agate]

I do! I have them downloaded, though — and I doubt Discord will let me upload the entire file, so are you looking for a specific line? In the meantime, I’ll see if I can track down an online link.

[thick agate]

The original link for these lines appears to have expired, unfortunately — but, I do have a link to an online resource storing every single audio file in the game. It is well organized, and the files you are looking for will be under “voice” —> “the voice” —> “overmap”

https://mega.nz/folder/8PYGQI7I#Ytq0Txv6-mU_dVzEpw458g

Enjoy!

[toxic python]

Ty

[lusty robin]

He used to do that?

Why’d they take it out

[thick agate]

If I’m remembering correctly, the game used to have some survival-like gameplay elements, such as gathering fuel for the wagon. AJ would commentate over the weather and whatnot since I’m assuming it would actually affect you

[lusty robin]

Ooo that’s cool

Can see why the survival element got scrapped though

[toxic python]

btw if anyone can find the speech the Voice does right after ||the last lib rite (and thus the scribes have chosen... blah blah) ||pls ping me

[prime dirge]

Would fit with the early sketches, perhaps (everybody looks sorta malnourished ). Would be quite interesting to see how different this Ursa game would have been from Pyre

I'm sure Pyre ended up the better game, but still fun to imagine
Strange how this didn't come up in the NoClip tho

[toxic python]

Also did some random rites vs the cpu today
Boy is the thyphoon talisman annoying if you arent close to the other pyre

[thick agate]

The lines you’re looking for are labeled as “justice_1006” through “justice_1019” — you can find these under “voice” —> “the voice” —> “justice” !

Hello! im trying to play pyre with a friend, local multiplayer. he has a PS4 controller connected via wire, and im using a bluetooth connected PS5 controller. the game doesnt recognize them however, nor gives the option of playing with 2 controllers? only 1 player with mouse and the other with controller. does anyone know how to solve this so we can just play a few games? btw, the controllers work fine in the steam overlay, and work fine with Hades too, we just played that with the ps5 controller.

[heady atlas]

Hi everyone, I just joined the server

And I'm going to ask something : did anybody wrote a D&D adaptation of Pyre or of the Rites ? The reddit has been immobilized for years now

[toxic python]

hmm, i know a few people here have talked about adapting Pyre to a dnd campaign (or some of its element) but idk if anyone posted how it was or anything

[vestal bluff]

People have started a number of times, but to the best of my knowledge no one’s really made something playable

[heady atlas]

Yeah...... I was hoping to find more....guess I'll have to wing it myself XD

[mild falcon]

hmmm feel like you could totally make a PBTA adaptation

[heady atlas]

Like a Savage World mod ?

[mild falcon]

nah, PBTA is its own thing

I'm not super familiar with Savage World, but PBTA is kind of a framework for making a themed ttrpg ruleset

[heady atlas]

Cool , I'm searching now

Thanks Riddler

[mild falcon]

you define 4 or 5 stats, and you define 2 "moves" for each stat that are modified by the character's skill in the stat.
In that superficial way, it seems really compatible with Pyre's "Glory, Quickness, Presence, Hope"

[heady atlas]

Seems compatible indeed, i'll do so researches. Many thanks !

[mild falcon]

good luck! I really hope you make it work

[unborn copper]

Yes

You have been banished to the Downside for crimes committed against the Commonwealth - a life sentence. None have returned since the cycle of the stars concluded. This dark and foreboding land has led many to their end, but with the bonds you have forged with your band of exiles, you may yet find hope. Play as one of 8 classes, hailing from 10 backgrounds, all with their own strengths, skills, and weaknesses. Will you survive exile or fall to the will of the Downside?

Many thanks m8 !

[scenic kiln]

Holy—woah!

[terse temple]

You can't swap to a character without the ball if another is holding the ball right?

this is confusing me greatly

I feel like I should be able to defend the ball holder with another guy

[deft quail]

If you have the orb you must pass it when you switch characters. If you want to enable your cast you can throw the orb down next to you and then cast, although it takes time.

[terse temple]

ok yeah that's the only way then

[toxic python]

If they are rushing to you swapping to let the character regain the aura should work, if cast yeah gotta throw to jump/run out of the way

[terse temple]

i barely lost to the demon guy 😦

i suck at this game lol

but damn

I want my game to have battle intros as cool as in Pyre

[toxic python]

Testing pamitha salute mastery, this is fun

[toxic python]

Friendly reminder that Certain Plan is a bop

[naive cave]

The whole soundtrack is a bop!

[toxic python]

I keep forgetting manley names the little sap

[lusty robin]

whenever I use the harp salue I swap with the wrong fella

just gimme prayer beeds instead

[toxic python]

Cant swap with the wrong fella if you are double wyrm memeing

[lusty robin]

[trail talon]

[toxic python]

So like, is growing big a part of the Demon-ification process, like obviously you grow horns and what not but do they all grow big? It seems like all the demons we meet were still big people before going to the downside, so like, is it just coincidence? Are there skinny little demons we don't meet?

[midnight hawk]

judging by how massive the demon sprites are, i'd imagine demonification does make one much larger. though for those who smaller/more average sized it's probably not as exaggerated

[orchid acorn]

Imagine little Jodi

[midnight hawk]

5'0" jodi

[toxic python]

Comically small Jodi

[icy sky]

Man... now I want potatoes

[lusty robin]

[half axle]

This changed my view on life

[lusty robin]

[toxic python]

After seeing some vods of the rite club my usage of Fae salute started to increase a lot

Is so fun

[vestal bluff]

Savage salute has been my favourite thing for a while

Nothing like scoring for 20 in under 3 seconds

[toxic python]

Throw>tp>throw again till you are next to the pyre

Is so fun zooming

That or shooting star talisman

Up at 5:30 am with a grunty new baby on my shoulder, what is the best way to pass the time in the dark living room

I know, I shall catch up on the Pyre channel

Hello everybody, thank you for the last two months of discourse, it was great fun to binge

I think one of my favorite things about this game is the way everyone's ideal ending is a little bit different - there's no one agreed-upon "best ending"

Everyone comes to their own favorite imperfect compromise

There are things we all recognize as "bad" (||Oralech giving in to despair and rage, the Reader blowing off Sandra's last request or failing to trigger it, a violent revolution, etc.||)

But each player who takes the time to craft a "good" ending will settle on their own constellation of best choices, and that's fascinating to me

[trail talon]

it’s very true! i think it’s because any ending you choose will require some compromise…there’ll be a bittersweetness to it no matter what you do. but equally, each ending has a lot of hope and positivity that’s hard though possible to be overshadowed

[idle sage]

Hello everyone, greetings from Taiwan.
I livestreamed Pyre with my friend and we enjoyed a wonderful time.
The art and music always put us in awe.
Though I haven't seen the final credits but I introduced this game to my fellows with the huge love of the soundtrack and fascinating story
It's a pity that Pyre is seldom known among Mandarin users (and the Chinese translation and calibration really sucks). I think I'm lucky enough to meet this game and the community and fandom. Now I am preparing tissues for seeing the final credits!

(Please forgive my poor English)

[timid silo]

Hello hello!

[idle sage]

I and my friend fell in love with Hedwyn at first sight because this friendly gentle guy shared the same voice with Thanatos LOL
I chose him to get freedom first and that was a very bittersweet moment, and after we received his message saying that he's safe my friend screamed out with joy

We: so he learned how to read and write for this very moment???

[toxic python]

Hedwyn first liberated gang

[stoic junco]

He may have spoken to someone who knows. Learning Reading takes time.

[toxic python]

Random but ||anyone knows the instrument that sounds during the "who shall rise again" in never to return? (Fate version)||

[vestal bluff]

Autoharp?

[deft quail]

Not really sure part/sound you’re referring to.

[toxic python]

is kinda like a knocking sound? not even sure if its an instrument lol

[deft quail]

Some percussion instrument if thats specific enough for you xd

[naive cave]

It might be a Log Drum or something similar?

[lusty robin]

amir fix your game

[trail talon]

sounds like it could be some sort of drum, or just drumsticks on a table

[toxic python]

Was playing vs matches for fun and barker straight up did salute after banishing my team

[trail talon]

100% in character. the one liner he most certainly said after saluting your banished team will be left to your imagination

more bugs

move speed and presence in negatives

[spiral zealot]

they are technically at 1 as the game has a minimum of 1 stat

[swift solar]

Hi there! I don't know how acceptable of an ask this is, so feel free to school me if necessary but - I'm looking for an instrumental version of Bound Together. I thought that since the game adjusts the song lyrics to how you played, an instrumental file might exist in the game files, but I have yet to figure out how to get a hold of it - can anyone help?

[coarse sorrel]

There is now a mod loader for pyre!
