supergiant-games

[main bone]

Combat wise atleast

Since there seemed to be multiple magics usable

Also imagine if you can get boons from zag

[keen bolt]

i get what you mean, i would've loved a new story but also i love Hades so much that a sequel sounds great to me

[main bone]

One of appolos boons mentioned magick it seems like we're getting a new power type

But casts seem to still exist since it mentioned that too

Also sprint is a thing now

Probably replacing dash

[olive hull]

i would have loved a new world a lot, but the tone of hades 2 seems very different and hades is also my most played game ever, so im definitely not disappointed by it in the end

[torpid haven]

yeah they've managed to be a surprise with every release, can't wait to see how they do with a sequel

[cedar scarab]

I know it was like 14 hours ago but I’m so hyped for hades 2, hades is definitely up there in my top 5 games, it’s so good and I did not expect a sequel so soon, big props to Supergiant for being able to spit out content at their speed

[sly kiln]

The Hades II announcement caused me to buy a second copy of Hades, this one Steam for my Steam Deck 😍

[dense moon]

I love Hades! Can’t wait for Hades 2! I have it on Steam and PS4! Still plan to buy it on Switch! Hahaha

[timid carbon]

I love Hades

Haven't played that much recently because distracted by Jrpgs.

Very excited about Hades II.

[halcyon cosmos]

Am I the only one who wanted to see a new IP as the studios next-game? 🙂 Or at least a new Genre? I really enjoyed Hades. But probably it's the least favorite among Bastion/Transistor/Pyre. Story and world building of all 3 are superb. While Hades broke the boundaries of story-telling in a Rogue-Lite game, it still needed to be contained within the fact there's a game-loop. Maybe that's why It didn't stroke hard as the other 3, when I reached the final ending, I was more happy I'm "Done" rather to get existed by the ending. I probably wouldn't mind Hades 2 if it wasn't just after Hades 1.

[quick bluff]

there are definitely at least a few of us who think the same way! definitely not trashing hades 2 and i’ll most likely be buying it and enjoying it. but your comment is pretty much exactly the way i feel

for a roguelike, hades’s story was great! but being a rogulike, the story did have less impact than the other three did, simply because of the genre

[halcyon cosmos]

Yea, not trying to either trash Hades nor Hades 2. Hades was still a masterpiece. And as you mentioned, everything game by that studio is Instabuy for me along with the Soundtrack. But, yea 🙂

[halcyon cosmos]

Yea. I agree. I was actually hoping for something like "Hades 2! Not a Roguelike!" announcement during the trailer. That could have been cool.

[olive hull]

i was also hoping for something new but im really happy with this because the vibe is so different

and i already want to know more about the characters!

[quick bluff]

it’s true, the game is different enough from hades to qualify as something kind of new rather than more of the same!

[halcyon cosmos]

I also think that while the Hades was great all around, it got dull after time. And that's again probably due to the loop. It was find "Wow! cool, this sound great" to "Still good after 50 times!", to "OK. this is getting a bit dull after 150 times". Other games has specific emotional moment attached to them, like "Paper Boat" for Transistor. Every time I'm listening to that, It return to that special ending, and that still strikes emotional to me.

[quick bluff]

and they have some experience now of creating a story within a rogulike, so it’ll be interesting to see how this one goes

[halcyon cosmos]

Is it? I hope so. I wait for more details. Mainly because while the characters are different, the Gameplay sections looks similar to Hades.

[quick bluff]

the issue with roguelikes is that they never really end, so even a roll of the credits doesn’t have that same payoff as it would for other genres

[quick bluff]

gameplay does look similar and so does the genre, but it’s still early yet and i’m not jumping to conclusions just yet

[lavish aurora]

where can i get myelf hades 2 wall paper?

[halcyon cosmos]

Yes. It's hard to create a unique story that revolves around it. You can't have like sudden surprises, as the next loop still need to happen. Hades can't get pissed on you and leave. He can, for a brief section. But it still have hearts event you need to fill up, so nothing feel like it has a real weight to it.

[halcyon cosmos]

Yep, same. One thing I'm sure about, is SuperGiant makes the best on that. This won't be a Hades 1 Copy/Paste with new enemies/weapons.

[quick bluff]

for sure. anything sgg makes is a masterpiece. i remember having doubts over the first hades due to it being a rogulike, but i got hyped at its full release and early reviews anyway

[violet hemlock]

yeah thats how i feel

[fringe lagoon]

This page has a zip file with some Hades II media, including wallpapers https://www.supergiantgames.com/games/hades-ii

[atomic flicker]

Greg also just shared a few images for potential use in #announcements !

[wild patrol]

i love greg :>

[rich hornet]

I haven't been this excited for a sequel since I was a tiny bean watching the trailer for halo 3, ty super giant

[edgy knot]

I was listening to She Shines on youtube (on the Supergiant Games channel), and it seems to have auto-detected the game as being League of Legends :')

[white cave]

Wow, that is bizarre

It's not just that one, either. The full album also is listed as LoL

[pseudo prism]

when i said i wanted my interests to combine i didnt mean like this

[wild patrol]

idk what would cause that lmao

[edgy knot]

Oh, I hadn't noticed that hahaha

[wild patrol]

rather silly

[faint moth]

Supergiant moba when lol

[fringe lagoon]

did they put she shines in LoL?! /j

[pseudo prism]

preferably never

but maybe they can get a skin in smite since smite crosses over with anyone and everyone lol

[formal geyser]

Zagreus in fortnite?

[violet hemlock]

mel in fortnite?

[noble vapor]

ngl a hades 2 makes me wonder what sgg would do with their other games

bastion doesnt need a sequel but man i'd kill for more of that world

pre calamity? post calamity? new continent? idunno

[minor spear]

Same I'd kill for crumbs of content for the other 3 games... even something like a game manual thing with a little bit more lore information and art.

[minor spear]

I could have written this as well because this is my line of thinking. Really intrigued to learn more about these new characters but I hate myself for one of my thoughts being "I guess i'll have to wait many more years for a new Supergiant Games IP". I'm sure Hades 2 will be very good though so I'm grateful, but

[idle night]

if a good-studio hasn't made at least one sequel of their best game, it's not a full-fledged good-studio

[soft wolf]

Y’all ain’t wrong by any means, and I’m incredibly hyped for more from the hades world. But like others have said, there’s just that itch in me that thinks “darn, now I have to wait longer to get those new SG story goosebumps” that I get whenever I booted up a new title

[fringe lagoon]

I feel like that's a strange stance; was Supergiant not a "full-fledged good-studio" after the release of Hades?

[idle night]

well, admit, this is much better than living in the agonizing expectation of any news in the coming years
also they've started work on the second part a year ago
this is already bringing us closer to the goosebumps

[idle night]

was more like a joke if you will, but there was a lot of talk about a sequel and making it was the most logical step that gives some fullness to the gameography at the point
aren't most big name studios have at least a sequel to their best works after all

[quick bluff]

they’re definitely not making a sequel because it’s the logical choice: if that were the case, they’d have made a Bastion 2 after the success of Bastion. and that further aids their reputation when making a sequel now: we know that they’re not doing so for business related reasons, but because they’re invested in the idea

[rare flume]

This is a bit of a "Batman grabs a gun" moment, true
Tvtropes link ⚠️ ||https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BatmanGrabsAGun||

[quick bluff]

i wouldn't go that far. they're not fundamentally against sequels, after all

[rare flume]

It's against tradition, not against their codes, yes. But your point remains, if they're doing the opposite their fanbase expects, and what they're most used to, they must have a good reason for this

[lavish aurora]

thanks

[pseudo prism]

fwiw they do address this point on their faq

You've never made a sequel before! Why now?
The original Hades is our most beloved game, and one that we loved building together as a team. Especially since it drew so much inspiration from classical Greek mythology, we always imagined the possibility of new stories in its world. But that in and of itself wasn't enough for us.

With each of our projects over the years, we've aimed to take on a new challenge that stretched our team's creativity and taught us more about how to make games well together. One such challenge we've long considered was to try and make a sequel that could somehow re-capture the sense of wonder and delight of its predecessor. Some of our all-time favorite games achieved this! The question is, can we?

Hades II, with its new perspective on a shadowy and alluring aspect of Greek myth, is our opportunity to find out. We get to keep building on foundational ideas that have captivated us since Supergiant's early days, while expanding the world of Hades in a variety of ways we find very exciting, and hope you will, too.

which is probably why they chose yet another obscure and little known figure from mythos as the new protag

at the very least, regardless of how you feel on them doing a sequel for the first time, i appreciate that they continue to focus on lesser known mythical figures

[noble vapor]

Yeah, if we were to see more of the previous worlds of Supergiant IPs, some of them could do with being totally disconnected from the first game in terms of events, at least in Bastion's case

[crude lily]

Where can I disable Supergiant update notifications that I get from this server on my own?

[white cave]

In the server settings under notifications

[main needle]

i can break pots and pet dog 10/10 game

[finite basalt]

real

[main needle]

when can i pet hades

[finite basalt]

he too big

tall guy

[finite basalt]

rip pond slime - "when can i pet hades" they just wanted to pet hades

[main needle]

i either die from not being able to pet hades, or i die because i did

[idle night]

sure thing, making bastion 2 is the next logical step

[halcyon cosmos]

Sequels aren't "Bad". But what of the reason I was so hyped around Starcraft 2, was because I was waiting for a sequel for a while. Now, there is no need to wait that long, but at this point, I don't feel like I'm "waiting" for Hades Sequel. I would love to see the team creativity go on re-visited worlds like Bastion and Transistor (or new IPs).

Also, I personally am less hyped about straight sequels. While more of the same is great - lack of gaming time, kids, life, work - makes me specifically pick what I play. I played Demons Souls and Dark Souls. I skipped the 2nd and the 3rd. While I have no doubt those are great, the core game-play was mostly the same. I rather spend the little time I had on Hades for example ,as this was a fresh experience. So I guess It all depends on different Hades 2 will be compared to 1. If the Core gameplay would feel different enough to dive back in.

[fluid rune]

Taking this hype opportunity to plug my Supergiant playlist once again - I look forward to adding the songs of Hades II! Congrats on the announcement!

[reef epoch]

when did you start playing your first supergiant game? and which one was it?

[tardy barn]

My first was Transistor back when I first came out. I remember seeing the E3 trailer and thinking “I don’t know what this is but I’m playing it”. No regrets 😁

[ocean pelican]

hades when it released on switch

then played the other 3 in release order

[wild patrol]

i was bored and picked up hades cause i heard good things

best game i've ever played :>

[wooden fern]

June or July of 2021 I got into transistor, got the game and beat it 2 months later

Wh

[short tundra]

i got into bastion june or july of 2013

been ridin the sgg train ever since

[strange garden]

make sure to play this playlist hopefully

[formal geyser]

got into bastion 2012 2013ish and then found transistor 2018, been great since

[strange garden]

thank you for the playlist

[pseudo prism]

bastion in 2011! part of why i got a steam account in the first place was to buy it because i saw someone talking about it and it looked neat. have been a fan of the studio since :)

[olive hull]

on transistors first anniversary in 2015 i watched a playthrough of it and loved it a whole lot. i actually bought and played it a bit later in the year bc i mostly watched games and not played them then, but now i have like 140 hours on it lol

[iron lantern]

I played Transistor in 2017, fell in love with it so I played it a second time before looking up the studio and playing Bastion a few months later, Pyre right after and Hades almost as soon as it was on early access

[tribal meadow]

so 👏
folks

i was wondering

you guys remember those discord Q&As we used to have a while back?

i remember it being a thing where a mod would just say GO and everyone had a moment to type any sort of question and SGGs would pick the most interesting ones and answer them

i was wondering...
are we going to get anything like that anytime soon?
especially since hadeez 2 was just announced and all that

[olive hull]

channel is right here #ask-supergiant if you want to backread
they are usually announced a bit in advance so you have time to think of questions, but idk if one is coming up soon

[tribal meadow]

oh right

i had all my channels marked as read and the list squished to just...
#dem-viddy-gaems

totally forgot #ask-supergiant existed

[reef epoch]

for me it was bastion on september 2013, suggested by my brother
What a cool suggestion

[whole schooner]

Where would one make an inquiry relating to press and related topics?

[olive hull]

https://www.supergiantgames.com/contact/ right here!

[whole schooner]

Thank you very much! ☺️

[strong echo]

Would Hades II have a mana system?

[subtle estuary]

Hey my litter brother has dyslexia I was wondering if he could actually enjoy the game without being able to read

[subtle estuary]

This is about Hades

[formal geyser]

the game is very mechanically good, of course the story is a big part but certainly not required to enjoy it, there is a fair bit of reading when choosing what upgrades you want tho

a lot of the story is voice acted too, so it doesnt take a lot of reading on that part if you just listen

[wild patrol]

afaik everything is voice acted

or at least the narrator or zagreus comments on it

[faint moth]

There's a metric tonne of voice acting in hades yeah

[subtle estuary]

Even the upgrades?

[formal geyser]

unfortunatly not

[faint moth]

Those don't afaik, they are fairly straight forward and explained quite well though

[subtle estuary]

Okay

Thank you for informing me

[formal geyser]

if their is a font that works better for him, it may be a good idea to ask in the modding server and they can probably make something for you to use (i say probabyl as fonts are a very new tech)

[subtle estuary]

Okay

What’s the link to the modding server?

[formal geyser]

its pinned in #self-promotion

[subtle estuary]

thank you

[formal geyser]

of course

[subtle estuary]

Wait if I don’t buy the soundtrack for Hades will there be no music

[ashen escarp]

You'll have the music in the game, don't worry

[formal geyser]

no its just a downloadable track

[subtle estuary]

Okay thank you

[cobalt gust]

late but it was bastion from one of the humble indie bundles

around...2012 I think the bundle was

[quick bluff]

i’m a bit of a latecomer, i see. got the whole bundle and started with bastion in i think 2018?

[night salmon]

Oh same

[rare flume]

👀

Well I'll be damned

[zealous barn]

HAHAHA i didnt even remember that

[rare flume]

I was trying to see if this lined up with the "we started Hades 2 during 2021". It doesn't but I did find your comment

[violet hemlock]

I cant believe tidb and cait confirmed hades 2

[violet hemlock]

merch idea

theseus stress toy

[finite basalt]

yes that sounds super satisfying, like expelling all anger and anxieties on the guy that has no anxieties

amazing

[violet hemlock]

i just wanna squeeze a terrible man to death, is that too much to ask for?

except he doesnt die bc theres no escape

skelly stress toy is also an option

[finite basalt]

REAL

actually, a skelly one would be mutually beneficial so would definitely advocate for a skelly stress toy

[keen bolt]

great point

[rugged grail]

If jen zee ever stops making art for supergiant games, I will be outstandingly sad.

[primal shoal]

was anyone else kinda hoping for a new game instead of hades 2?

[ashen escarp]

For some reason, every time I finish a supergiant games game (game?) I get a gig. I should get precise on when I'll play Hades 2.

[ashen escarp]

Fully expected something else. Did not think for a second they'd do Hades 2. But tho I would have love to see their take on yet a new world, can't say I ever had enough of Hades.

[quick bluff]

you’re not the only one…scroll up far enough and you’ll find us

[craggy prism]

i can't particularly say i'm surprised, actually? if you go back and read some of their interviews from when they were making/had just finished hades, you'll probably understand their thought processes about it

all of the team got so ridiculously immersed in this world it just kind of makes sense to me that someone tripped into a new story for it

[quick bluff]

oh yeah, for sure. it comes down to gameplay preferences, i think, at least in part. i’m not a fan of roguelikes, but that’s just one opinion. that and the fact that their original worlds are so amazing so it would have been cool to see a new one

lol makes it sound like i’m asking for a lot though! “make a world for me, please”

[frank zealot]

I feel like Hades 2 is gonna feel really fresh with lots of favorite elements from the first game! It’ll def be enjoyable

[fringe lagoon]

It’ll be a fantastic game for sure, but so would anything else SG makes, regardless of the world.

[quick bluff]

honestly, i’ll buy anything they make at this point. this is the only case where i’m a fan of the studio itself rather than just their individual games

i have no doubt that they’ll surprise me for the fifth time

[violet hemlock]

oh for sure

also the world of 2 feels very different so far

like same world but very different energy

[craggy prism]

my greatest hope

is that theyll finally add actual difficulty levels

thats honestly all i want

[ashen escarp]

For sure, I just almost never read their interview

Should do so, tho

[ashen escarp]

Heat isn't enough for you?

[pseudo prism]

in a way, i think its kinda unfair that we (as a collective, not referring to this server specifically or anything) kinda pigeonholed supergiant into this "every game is a new experience, they dont do sequels" reputation bc even early on supergiant never said they would never do sequels, it was just more that the opportunity to pursue that idea never quite came about until now

and i certainly include myself in that "we" bc im guilty of having made such comments in the past lol

[violet hemlock]

true

[pseudo prism]

i get why people are disappointed its not a new game in a new world and all but... gestures vaguely..

[violet hemlock]

im very very exicted

[craggy prism]

no, i don't mean things like heat

i mean "i want it easier without just adding an 80% damage reduction"

[ashen escarp]

Oh. I never tried god mode, didn't think it went that deep

[craggy prism]

challenges are good and cool and should exist

but some of us suck at games x)

like, specifically

for me personally, im bad at stuff, and Also don't like roguelikes, so even to just get through hades' story, where you have to beat the game a lot is really frustrating?

even knowing you'll probably never die because of god mode, it's just in general a pain to get through

[ashen escarp]

I'm not sure how an easier difficulty would help you. Except maybe if it makes the game shorter by giving you less rooms to go through?

So each run is shorter and you'd go through the story quicker

[craggy prism]

that's a good idea, i think. maybe have two settings between "story" and "standard" or something?

[ashen escarp]

This would need to take into account that less rooms means less boons (except if rewards are doubled?) so maybe a lot of work to balance it

Well it doesn't seem impossible but I don't see a simple way to do it

[violet hemlock]

https://open.spotify.com/track/0Qq9H0nRmzofzO7ZtcDB60?si=W6-zN5hyQROcSe_MS0z0wA the way this version makes me feel is

The whole playlist is so good though

[calm totem]

do we have the server banner as a full jpg? i'd love to see it

[quick bluff]

i do want to say that whatever reactions we’ve had to this game announcement, whether excitement or disappointment or a mixture of the two, it’s wonderful that we’re all able to discuss, speculate, share, whatever, here. this is a nice place full of nice people. i’ll be watching developments with interest for sure, and i’m glad to be here

[pseudo prism]

for sure!

i was just like.. thinking about it and early supergiant and realizing that they never really said they would never do a sequel and we as fans just kinda assumed that for them lmao

like i said, im def guilty of it too

either way im interested to see what supergiant's passion does for a sequel

theres a ton of eyes on them now so i wonder if theres like.. added pressure or if its not much different than how they felt working on hades or what

[wild patrol]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/800967579920760855/1052460905671176212/HoldTheRope08_ForPrint_01.png

this is the closest i could find

[calm totem]

👀👀👀😍😍😍

beautiful

[wild patrol]

its the 10th anniversary picture so maybe you could find one more similar to the server banner

[tribal meadow]

I love this pic

[violet hemlock]

Lmao hades being the only one not smiling

[tribal meadow]

Maybe he is smiling

My high school history teacher had this epic bushy mustache

And we couldn’t tell if he’s smiling or not too

[violet hemlock]

omg

[solid sand]

Will I like transistor when I loved hades

[violet hemlock]

depends

personally i love transistor

but its a very different game

[solid sand]

It seems much more slower paced

[violet hemlock]

its shorter, though

[solid sand]

I really love the versatility in hades
I can even run as fast as the flash with some builds

[violet hemlock]

if youre looking for a sci fi love story with a different combat system and an incredible soundtrack youll like it

id say its not as good gameplay wise as hades

but the story is so good

its really up to you but id play it

[olive hull]

theres a lot of different builds you can make in transistor, and it really opens up in ng+. though not all of them are as viable to absolutely stomp enemies like in hades, theyre fun

and the story is really good

its my favorite game so i recommend it regardless of similarities

[violet hemlock]

the story and soundtrack are the main selling points tbh

to me

[ashen escarp]

Got in because of the soundtrack, but loved the worldbuilding and visuals

Cloudbank is such a bright and fascinating thing

[solid sand]

I actually don't like turn based combat like at all

[stiff light]

you can technically play it absolutely disregarding the turns system, the moves are available in real time too

[ashen escarp]

I wouldn't say it's the way the game wants you to play though

[stiff light]

yeah, it isn't 🙂

[zealous barn]

I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on ‚turn-based‘, it‘s just pre-planning a couple moves on the fly, very simple. I like it and I don‘t like turn-based games at all (started XCOM once without knowing what it was, saw the tutorial interface and quit haha)

[strong echo]

Anyone know why there isn't a server VC?
Edit: Grammar

[vale atlas]

Too many people

[faint moth]

The tl:dr of why is that moderating a vc in a server incredibly large like this is practically impossible

[strong echo]

If this comes out rude/wrong, let me know so I can fix it. The hollow knight server can do it, they also have more members, so why can't this server do it?

I'm not tryna start an argument, or get people mad

I took one look at the online section and I see your point

[faint moth]

The hollow knight server is also vastly differant to this one and every discord runs there's differantly
In order for a vc to be here, we'd need someone to be moderating them at all times effectively. Which is something that's not really viable especially since all mods here are doing it on a volenteer basis

[violet hemlock]

yeah didn’t yall try it before? And it didnt really work out

[faint moth]

We tried before I was even a member here
It ended very poorly from what I've been told 😂

[strong echo]

So what if there was a separate server where people could stream?

[faint moth]

There is a fan sgg server iirc
I'm not sure what it is though

[strong echo]

ok

[frank zealot]

How do people become moderators for the server?

I was curious about that since I assumed it was volunteers

[violet hemlock]

this one?

cause i think they put a thing out in #announcements a while ago and people emailed them?

#announcements message

[faint moth]

Typically what happens is when the server needs new mods, the supergiant team (Caitlin) will reach out to those they think will make for a good moderator here

[faint moth]

You are correct, there has been a couple times where they've opened up moderator applications

[frank zealot]

That’s epic! I figured it was kinda like that, but was unsure since I haven’t been super active in a while@

[violet hemlock]

also, did games like pyre have their own category before hades?

mostly bc im curious if hades will be turned into just a channel

[short tundra]

i don't think so

[violet hemlock]

ah alr

[faint moth]

the server didn't really exist for all that long (maybe 6 months at most) before hades was announced in early access.
In the future the amount of hades channels might decrease but I can't see it being reduced down to a single channel personally

[violet hemlock]

ahh yeah that makes sense

[pearl ermine]

So who exactly is this super giant ?

[tribal meadow]

Ron, probably

[formal geyser]

the real supergiant is the friends we made along the way

[quick bluff]

the friends we made and the tears we shed

[finite basalt]

real

[violet hemlock]

supergiant games protaganists progressively get harder to pronounce

kid, red, reader, zagreus, melinoë

[spare trellis]

I love this xD

[meager kraken]

i just ran out of supergiant games to play, time to start them again

all of them were really good, i can't think of good praise for them

[finite basalt]

would buy a supergiants artbook with concept art from all the games

the art is just too good

[frank zealot]

^^ yes! I also really wanna see them do some kind of collectors edition at some point! I think it would be neat

[olive hull]

they did do one for transistor

[frank zealot]

Oh that’s epic!

[tribal meadow]

get ready to learn how to pronounce Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz for their sixth game

[violet hemlock]

Dont give them ideas

[tribal meadow]

greg's probably all like

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

speaking of dumb ideas for future games

[violet hemlock]

new name can be Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas

[tribal meadow]

since in hades 1 you're going up
and in hades 2 you're going down
i'd love to see a thing where...
if you go really, really fast you might get a chance of seeing zag going in the opposite direction

like - both of you fully jacked up on hermes boons passing each other like
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1054166573646086244/image.png

[violet hemlock]

its possible that might be a late game thing cause my theory is zag is also locked up

here wait theres a meme about exactly that

[tribal meadow]

speaking of
if zags locked up
and his dad is in chains in that reveal trailer

that means zag didn't really do well as this sort of underworld security... chief... guy... whatever

[violet hemlock]

tbf chronos is a literal titan

also i know someone mentioned a horror game from sgg

[tribal meadow]

it was me

[violet hemlock]

and im scared of the prospects of that

it was you okay yes

[tribal meadow]

i've been begging for it for years

[violet hemlock]

they have such a good understanding of music and art and writing that if they did it it would be terrifying

[tribal meadow]

my point exactly

oh yeah - another random thonk
do we know what breed cerberus is supposed to be?

[violet hemlock]

well hes definitely some sort of hound we know that

'...The fearsome multi-headed hound of hell is really not so bad as his deserved reputation otherwise would lead you to believe.

Pharaoh hound has the right face shape but its less fluffy

[tribal meadow]

so if he's a hound
there is a possibility he's supposed to be a... dachshund

so in my headcanon he's this really long weiner dog, but the size of a bus

a bendy-bus
like a giant snake

with really smol paws

[violet hemlock]

awww

[faint moth]

Multiple people mentioned this lol

[tribal meadow]

see?
there's demand, just sayin

[violet hemlock]

Yeah i just remember it from a few days ago

and then hades 2 dropped

[faint moth]

That's fair, it's been something that came up every once and a while when people where therising what sgg where working on before hades 2 got announced

[ocean pelican]

Still waiting on the sgg rythym game

[rose cedar]

a horror strategy game?

[violet hemlock]

👁️👁️👁️👁️

[tawny snow]

Horror strategy rhythm turn based platformer metroidvania open world roguelite MMORPG with gacha mechanics

[rose cedar]

ok no

[violet hemlock]

anything but the gacha

a metroidvania be fun though

[rose cedar]

true

[hard arrow]

nice the old supergiant games excluding hades are 70 to 80 percent off on ps store

[tribal meadow]

Oh crap

For real ?

[violet hemlock]

hey wait a minute

[tribal meadow]

Oh hey would you look at that
It’s pyre’s best girl

Jodi is the poster child of that game and I’ll fight you if you say otherwise

[ashen escarp]

Sandra tho

[tribal meadow]

Wow that looks like dusa is pointing at my PFP

[ashen escarp]

She's gonna shoot our Christmas hats off of us

[tribal meadow]

Just pull the trigger you green hamburger

I love this emote combo

[ashen escarp]

It's perfect

[zealous barn]

Hedwyn is so cool, sorry Jodi 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[tribal meadow]

He sure knows how to cook

Aight
Real talk now

Who’s the best cook?
Zia, Hedwyn, Eurydice or… whoever’s cooking at Junctions Jan ?

You can pick only one

[ashen escarp]

Oh my that's impossible

I think I'd say Eurydice because Hedwyn can't cook all time for eternity while singing

[warm minnow]

hedwyn because if he can make whatever mush is in the downside edible, imagine what he could do with real ingredients

[tribal meadow]

True

Eurydice has all the best poms and probably some nectar too
You don’t have to be Gordon Ramsay to make that taste good

Hedwyn however…
What’s he got to work with?
Some mud and a bunch of twigs

[untold cove]

Silt porridge

[violet hemlock]

Eury has been cooking for at least a hundred years

[tribal meadow]

yeah and hedwyn got to the same power level in a fraction of the time with half the resources

[dawn delta]

In a cave, with a box of scraps, you say?

[ashen escarp]

Yeaaaah but what if Hedwyn can't do anything good with proper ingredients?

Like, maybe he's such an awesome cook when he has to deal with dirt and a rotten carrot, but he doesn't know how to deal with pasta

[violet hemlock]

Lmao yeah maybe he burns out quickly on real cooking

[ashen escarp]

He could make a dust pancake taste like a pizza, and a pizza with the consistency of a shoe, and the taste of a shoe, and the shape of a shoe

[tribal meadow]

Lmao
I can just imagine everyone tasting this new and alien invention known as…
An onion

And just going

what is this vile, revolting thing?

And then they go back to hedwyns mud pancakes with a side of grass salad and just go

https://tenor.com/view/yum-gif-18243592

Yeah I wanted to post that other gif but mods would get angy

[violet hemlock]

question... would anyone be interested in a very limited run of sgg related earrings/jewelry
i would love to make the transistor sword and stygian blade specifically

also maybe keepsakes!

[grizzled trout]

👀 potentially! Def interested in Transistor sword stuff, but not earrings

[violet hemlock]

would a necklace be good

bc thats very easy

[grizzled trout]

YES I'd def be very interested

But it depends a bit on shipping as well since I'm in EU and take psychic damage when shipping from the US costs as much or more than the actual thing

Obviously not the shop/artist's fault, I just can't buy stuff as freely in that case

[violet hemlock]

😔

[ashen escarp]

It would depend on the price (mainly on the shipping, am in EU) but I'd be curious about necklaces too

Do you have some examples of what you do? Like a website or smth

[violet hemlock]

oh no not yet

its really just a hobby ive been working on

[ashen escarp]

Okay. Keep me posted

[tribal meadow]

That sounds super cool
To have a little Stygian earring

Do you make them full-sized too?
I could fix a lot of problems of mine with one

[slate star]

hold on give me a second,,, hold on,, oh wait,, wait give me a sec, hold on i'm,, hold on

[wraith blaze]

Bastion or transistor? Which is better/more fun?

[zealous barn]

They‘re quite different in theme and gameplay, so I don‘t really have an answer (it‘s Transistor)

[wraith blaze]

Aight

[tribal meadow]

for me
bastion if i wanna just have fun mashing [SPACE] while rolling away from a truckload of live nades dropping from all enemies

if you like to crank the difficulty up just to see how well you can stand your ground against all the chaos the game can throw at you - and don't have hades installed - go for bastion
it's fun

transistor if you wanna get in a mood
a lonely, sad, mood

[tawny snow]

This lol

[violet hemlock]

Transistor is so sad but i adore it

[sacred matrix]

I just found out that Transistor is yet again on the AGDQ! I hope ya'all will be there to see it too! I belive it's 10th of January

[real relic]

Both are amazing, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

[nimble zodiac]

Well, completed all four games by Supergiant now.

Ending it on Pyre felt like such a high.

[mystic pollen]

guys ive played and beat all the other supergiant fames but idk abt buying pyre

from what ive heard it sounds mid

any advice?

[ashen escarp]

Oh, it's simply their best game

To be more serious, if you enjoyed the sort of art style and storytelling existing in other SGG games, Pyre delivers on these parts extremely well. Some people didn't enjoy the gameplay, and I agree that it is quite unique, which isn't necessarily a good thing. I personally loved it, but it'd be hard to say without playing it.

I've heard some folks think it's a bit too long a game. (I disagree, I really love shorter games but this one is around 11 hours and it felt super reasonable)

[solid sand]

this music is so good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zA1jRmAYfU&ab_channel=SupergiantGames

ITS LIKE ALL IVE BEEN LISTENING TO

[neon kayak]

Merry christmas!

[strange garden]

and hopefully a New Year

[mystic pollen]

oh lord ok i gotta buy it now ill lyk what i think but thank you

[dusky fulcrum]

hello can someone recommend me which game I should buy? Bastion, Transistor or Pyre? (please don't say all of them I cant afford that lol)

[warm minnow]

pyre

[zealous barn]

transistor

[warm minnow]

its my favorite of all supergiants games. its got the great characters and dialogue of hades as well as an excellent gameplay system with lots of strategic depth. plus its a supergiant game so obviously its got stellar art and music.

(and its the only one with local multiplayer so you can play with your friends)

[dusky fulcrum]

that's a good description, thank you

from all the trailers I saw Pyre stood out to me the most artistically but I have no idea about the gameplay

[wooden fern]

transistor

[mystic meadow]

pyre

[violet hemlock]

uhh pyre is excellent for the points made above
transistor is my personal favorite, its very emotional and has gorgeous art and soundtrack

[ashen escarp]

I would suggest Transistor or Pyre over Bastion. They're more polished games

[tawny snow]

Yeah I hate to say it but I'm not really a fan of bastion

The other sg games are all amazing, hard to go wrong

If I had to pick between transistor and pyre I'd also choose pyre, but they're both very good

[supple warren]

Worst/best supergiant game?

[violet hemlock]

i enjoy bastion so far a lot though!

[wooden fern]

best: transistor

[short tundra]

1. pyre
2. bastion
3. transistor
4. hades

i will not be taking criticisms at this time

[wooden fern]

Solid list, transistor above hades no criticism needed

[wild patrol]

i could've sworn you've said you've never played hades

[craggy prism]

for me it's

1. Pyre
2. Transistor
3. Bastion
4. Hades

i love bastion the most but its really mostly nostalgia

[violet hemlock]

hmmm

1. hades
2. transistor
3. pyre
4. bastion (but that might change)

transistor and hades are relatively equal to me but hades is personally special so

this is so hard icant rank them

[tardy barn]

I think it really depends on what you’re looking for. In my mind Hades is the best all around. I’d say that Transistor has the strongest gameplay and Pyre has the strongest story/characters.

[violet hemlock]

personally i definitely think hades has stronger gameplay then transistor

[tardy barn]

It’s not as much the focus, or at least it wasn’t for me. Hades had a different rhythm were you had to stop and deal with things in between runs (yes you could skip, but why). In Transitior you had to put much more effort into getting the entire story.

[violet hemlock]

Thats fair

I just find hades way more fun to play

[zealous barn]

1. transistor
2. hades
3. bastion
4. pyre

Hades definitely gameplay winner but oh man transistor‘s world is everything 😭

[short tundra]

me? i've played hades but not finished it

[wild patrol]

no, kit

i haven't been active in a long time so it could've been someone else

i have bad memory

[tawny snow]

Great to hear

1. Hades
2. Pyre
3. Transistor
4. Bastion

Yeah at least from my perspective sg straight up improved over time

Pyre and transistor are fairly close tho

[wooden fern]

I havent but i dont like hades :)

Too popular it makes me angry lol

[violet hemlock]

[ashen escarp]

1. Pyre
2. Hades
3. Transistor
4. Bastion

[solar zinc]

Haven’t finished Transistor or Pyre or played Bastion at all so I feel like I can’t rank. Hades is my favorite so far though. Grabbed me immediately. The others took more time to get into

[untold cove]

For me, it’s

1. Pyre
2. Transistor
3. Hades
4. Bastion

[violet hemlock]

Theyre all too good

[untold cove]

Yes

[violet hemlock]

but heres the question

how do yall rank sgg songs..

im going off the anniversary album bc its a banger

1. she shines, hated it at first and now i adore it
2. paper boats (sobs)
3. remember the bastion
4. we all become (But it literally doesn’t work on the album for some reason lol)
5. the spine
6. In the flame, its my favorite pyre song
7. never to return, banger
8. in circles
9. vagrant song, its really good i just like the other ones more
10. lament of Orpheus, sorry its like the only one i want to skip on the album, better on the actual soundtrack

[quick bluff]

exactly my list. but there’s no wrong way to rank, i think. it all depends on what you look for in a game

[quick bluff]

no wrong answers here! but in the flame should be higher

[violet hemlock]

the transistor songs are so GOOD though

[craggy prism]

transistor ost is literally the best in the world

[empty siren]

YEAH, it was basically the only thing I listened to for a whole summer, it’s just… so good

[violet hemlock]

if anyones conflicted...

[zealous barn]

sometimes i need some serotonin and watch the bafta award announcer read out the six roles logan voice acted, i love that moment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2047&v=H-ULXippYjA

[tribal meadow]

man - the list just goes on
"And the winner is...
Logan Cunningham as Hades, Achilles, Poseidon, Asterius, Asterius' axe, Charon, The Barge Of Death, Artemis' crit sound, the entire crowd in Elysium, the Tiny Vermin and The Storyteller in Hades"

but seriously though
such a great voice

actually - this makes me wonder
who recorded all those eehehehe... sounds makes in pyre?

was that darren?
kinda has this skelly energy

[zealous barn]

who meowed for the flame wheels???

[tribal meadow]

logan, probably

[cobalt gust]

quick google search says it's Ben Costa, author of rickety stitch which darren has done a couple songs for

I think darren does rukey though

[ocean pelican]

Logan does dalbert no?

[tribal meadow]

i think so, yeah

[lucid sphinx]

Supergiant make a bad game challenge! (IMPOSSIBLE)

[stoic stirrup]

Guys give me at least 2 reasons why i should play bastion

[keen bolt]

1. it's a ssg game
2. it's cosy and has pleasant story

[flat ermine]

Hey so i was wondering if there are plans for a Hades/Hades 2 Artbook?

Cuz I'd LOVE to buy one

[keen bolt]

same

[violet hemlock]

very cosy
very cool world

thats 5 reasons

[flat ermine]

Apparently they have no plans for one 😦

[zealous barn]

Not really a spoiler no :)

[violet hemlock]

also we were talking about which sgg character was the best cook, but whos the best singer??

probably red logically as she has the most songs

but i adore zia and also orpheus's falsetto

[keen bolt]

red for me, The Spine is my all-time favourite ssg song

[violet hemlock]

mine fluctuates but im very fond of she shines

[untold cove]

Ashley Barrett is my fave Supergiant character

[ashen escarp]

I'm partial to Paper Boats

So, Red

[mystic pollen]

damn for me its either paper boats or setting sail, coming home

[tawny snow]

Is nobody else gonna say Eurydice

Like red is great but good riddance is just

[neon kayak]

[ocean pelican]

Im gonna go with the lone minstrel tbh

Vagrant song in game is just magical

[tribal meadow]

Hello

[faint moth]

[rotund scroll]

Hello!

[still swift]

Is it bad that I want a SuperGiant fighting game? 🤔 That sounds like it would be so fun to me

[rotund scroll]

No it's good! But fighting games are complex genre 'cause if you want to have and gave an interesting roster of characters to players you need to consider a lot of details. The most important one is the balance

[neon kayak]

Id love to see that Too honestly

[still swift]

This is very very true. I'd hate for it to be a good idea but only on paper. I feel like SuperGiant has such a cool roster of characters that would be amazing in a fighter. Now how well they would translate to a fighter is another story

[craggy prism]

i just want to see zia suplex someone honestly

[frank fractal]

god day

I bought the game from steam. my system uninstalls the game and my video card is up to date but won't open

[wooden fern]

first of all, which game?

If its hades id suggest checking #h1-tech-support or #h1-tech-fixes

idk which one

[haughty crane]

( #h1-tech-fixes to start, then #h1-tech-support if you need more help)

[violet hemlock]

jen zee i love you but your character designs make me sob very much what iS THIS

currently doing mels leg armor which ill just have do lace up bc no closures to be found

and zia has so many textures and i want to cosplay her one day but

[tribal meadow]

that's a very, VERY poor choice of words there

[quick depot]

i also want to do zia

[zealous barn]

zia looks like she walked through a textile bazaar and kept everything that sticked to her. Very comfy!

[tribal meadow]

it does look comfy

[violet hemlock]

lmfao-

is that better

[violet hemlock]

so true!

[wheat wave]

is hades better with a controller or should i stick to keyboard mouse

[ocean pelican]

Stick to what you are comfortable

[crystal badger]

KBM is a bit weird. Id suggest controller if you can use it

[cobalt gust]

they're both good

i use mostly kbm but controller is fine too

[simple condor]

i wish supergiant would release a 4k patch for Hades on Xbox one X 😔

[sterile temple]

I prefer controller, rebind the reload key for the gun though

[violet hemlock]

pyre 🤝 hades (II)
titan lore

[craggy prism]

you could say

we're really starting to delve into

super-giant games

[violet hemlock]

oh my god

[tawny snow]

To the downside with you both

[hushed jay]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-worried-scared-pet-gif-17394665

[hushed jay]

I tried to play Hades with a controller on my PC
Oh lord, it is painful to reload

[sterile temple]

Yep, the default keybind is weird. I changed it to LB

[ocean pelican]

we will never know who had the idea of r3 default to reload

[untold cove]

Probably Greg

[violet hemlock]

think sgg would make such a banger metroidvania tbh

[ashen escarp]

Story driven metroidvania with good character writing is clearly a missing piece of the metroidvania environment

[violet hemlock]

i cant tell if this is sarcastic or not haha

[ashen escarp]

No no, I really think most metroidvanias are driven by their gameplay and their art style above their writing and story

Which makes sense as the first iterations of the genre had a strong art style and it's a genre built upon one big piece of game design.

But a game of that genre with SGG's signature purposeful worldbuilding and storytelling, now that would be something

[violet hemlock]

oh yes!

hk has such good lore and story it clouds my vision of most metroidvanias

[wraith anvil]

impossible metroidvania's aren't isometric

[jaunty marsh]

Bruh

[fringe lagoon]

…yet!

[craggy prism]

any genre of game can be defined by its story if you try hard enough

[quick depot]

hades 2 isometric rogue-like metroidvania

[sacred matrix]

Transistor is right now at GDQ on twitch, let's help em out!

[flint estuary]

Watching it right now! Loving the commentary.

[hushed jay]

Hey, i have a question about the soundtrack

I bought the supergiant collection on Steam before Hades was released

and it contains one album per game

but I wanted to listen to them on Spotify and there are 3 different albums for Pyre and 2 for Transistor

what's the difference?

[violet hemlock]

i have 0 clue so like dont listen to me but it might have to do with the apple tv version and she shines

[wild patrol]

one of the transistor osts is hummed

and the pyre ones are acoustic renditions

[ocean pelican]

Pyre white lute album is acoustic, black mandolin is the different versions of one of the vocal themes

[hushed jay]

Thanks guys
Well, now my "Games soundtracks" playlist is over 25 hours and 450+ songs

[violet hemlock]

I love the pyre acoustic tracks in the game

[tawny nexus]

Is hades 2 releasing on xbox or is only on steam?

[wild patrol]

all platforms nvm that's wrong only been confirmed for steam and egs but i think a console release is very likely

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/800967579920760855/1062536676792074340/image.png

i think this just means early access will be steam/egs exclusive but the full game will be multiplatform

speculation tho

[tribal meadow]

i mean - i think it's pretty safe to assume it's gonna be on consoles too

sooner or later

[modest badger]

Oh what a dream it would be to voice a SuperGiant character

[tribal meadow]

i can do a really good bouldy impression

sggs pls hire me

[zealous barn]

unfair how other game studios have to find and hire good voice actors and SGG can just be like ‚oh darren can you voice these three people too‘ and he does a perfect job

though i wonder, do you guys know any other examples of gamedevs using non-VA people from their own company for prominent roles? Maybe it‘s a common thing idk lol

[lucid sphinx]

Supergiant make a bad game challenge!! (IMPOSSIBLE!!!!)

[modest badger]

Greg, the writer, is just Hypnos, and it works perfectly!

[tribal meadow]

well - there's gianni

not really an actor, but he's in like... most boomer shooters

the first person in the world to make a career out of 💩 posting

god bless
love him

[modest badger]

He’s still mainly a VA - he just uses that for 💩posting

[golden shadow]

He very much is a VA, yes. Same goes for SungWon Cho/ProZD: Both excellent comedians in their own right, but VAs by profession.

[modest badger]

SungWon’s crazy - he just showed up in God of War
Not to say he wasn’t before, but if that doesn’t legitimize you, I don’t know what does

Circling back to before, I can’t help but wonder what SGG’s VA audition process is like.
Do they just sorta work through their ranks to see who fits, and if no one does, they call in favors? Do they hold proper auditions? Just curious

[misty bobcat]

They went through their process in this gdc talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5KJSAj4afg

the section on casting is at 23:10

[clever helm]

This is a very old-school way to add voiceover to your games.
Some of the very first big games on the market back in the early 90s just grabbed random people from around the game studio office to record voicelines. The quality... varied, but this approach is not unheard of, it's just been largely abandoned by larger players in the industry because they've got money to spend now.

[azure prawn]

Overall, some says that Hades VO quality dropped after the Covid19 times started.

Then they had limited access to record studio

Even Darren said that he created Hause studio to create the music

[modest badger]

Hmm, guess I just gotta put myself out there more to be noticed

Duly noted

[hasty drift]

In Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice the main character is voiced and motion captured by someone who worked in the studio as video editor I think, if I recall correctly they were pulling random people just for storyboarding and preparation and then they liked her or something like that

so it does happen

[zealous barn]

Oh yes, good call! I remember watching a video about this actually haha

[clever helm]

If you go all the way back to System Shock 1 & 2, you will find that the voicelogs varied in quality a lot — because they weren't all done by VAs

[tawny snow]

Pretty sure it's in bastion so that limits the possibilities

[mellow ferry]

Sorry if this is a repetitive question .. is it known when will the Hades merch be restocked ? I'm looking for some t-shirts but they are out of stock for my size ;-;

[tardy barn]

Probably a question for the fangamer people.

[upper tapir]

Does anyone know if supergiant games can take interns?

[violet hemlock]

They’re not looking currently, it’s on the website

[upper tapir]

Oki! Ty!

[frank zealot]

I would def keep looking around and build your portfolio for when they start looking for interns

[upper tapir]

Whats the age requirement?

(Do you think)

Cause if its 18 ill haft to wait 3 more years 🫠

[keen bolt]

perfect, you can build a portfolio in the meantime

[frank zealot]

It is most likely 18, but if it’s not I still recommend taking time to build up your portfolio

[upper tapir]

Oki!!

I sent you a DM! If you ever need help putting a portfolio together just let me know

[upper tapir]

Omg thank you!!

[flat ermine]

Honestly, i'm watching the documentary "Developing Hell" rn and Supergiant games is one of the very few companies i REALLY wanna work at/with sometime ;-;

[upper tapir]

Same 😭😭

[flat ermine]

Maybe they need more animators /-\

God this documentary is making me cry...

[ashen escarp]

Yeah, so glad I went into animation rather than game because of that

[flat ermine]

I'm gonna do AnimSchool later this year

i'm pretty excited but also kinda anxious

[frank zealot]

It’ll be great! I’m currently in school studying comp Sci but I’m thinking of switching to web development

[flat ermine]

I hope it will be! ^^

What's comp Sci?

[violet hemlock]

questions for all, what are some common themes in both hades and transistor? its for my essay 👍

[modest badger]

Hades has an easy one:

https://tenor.com/view/family-toretto-dominic-gif-23895685

[violet hemlock]

yeah but that doesn't really apply to transistor

[modest badger]

Ah, you need some that apply to both, gotcha

[violet hemlock]

ye ye

i did hades and bastion but i need one for hades and transistor and bastion and transistor

i'm not including pyre because i'm not finished with it

i could probably just do something with love since both zag and red do basically everything they can to achieve it

[tardy barn]

Searching for lost identity, the world in flux, the world is not as it appears, love and loss, death, music as a narrative device

[mild thistle]

is it just story or do you also count game mechanics

[keen bolt]

computer sciences

[neon kayak]

[frank zealot]

Computer science! The university I’m at has quite a few courses you can take to expand what you learn

[frank zealot]

Like GoodShade said, love and loss is prob a great one you can connect

[flat ermine]

Goootcha! ^^

[neon kayak]

[waxen grove]

I really want that Supergiant would make another game in Pyre universe.

[upper tapir]

Am i the only one that associates jen zee with “Gen Z”? 😭😭 (IF YOU READ THIS ILY JEN)

It’s pronounced exactly the same

💀

[untold cove]

She isn't actually Gen Z which is the fun part

[primal oyster]

until I watched the documentary, I had only heard her name, not seen it and I was very confused because I thought people were saying "gen z" but she probably gets that ALL the time.

[quick bluff]

huh, i’ve generally said “gen zed”

[vale atlas]

Are you British by any chance?

[desert scroll]

Can u guys tell me good games on mac

[desert scroll]

Maybe he is

[untold cove]

Canadians would also say "Zed"

[hasty drift]

Most of European languages would I think

[frank zealot]

Most people who aren’t American use zed I believe

[quick bluff]

all supergiant's games are available for mac, but if you're looking for other games, you'd be better off in #video-games

[quick bluff]

Hi, is there a way to contact support? Bought Bastion on iPhone, but cannot play

[upper tapir]

Omg i love this art style, where can i find even more of this??

[faint moth]

You can contact them through this fill in form

[vague epoch]

is there an INTP person who worked in the first Hades game? I'm asking it for a friend 👀

[clever helm]

Try #off-topic-discussion or #h2-discussion
We had people who participated in Hades 1 loc come around there.

[vague epoch]

thank you for the direction

[wild patrol]

what is intp

[faint moth]

One of the mayer briggs personality types

There's very little science backing it and imo is largely meaningless

[vale atlas]

^ one of the 4 million personality test scams, doesn't really say more about you than a Homestuck class thing or astrology sign

[wild patrol]

lmfao

[vague epoch]

that's very true, it's just for fun among friends

[past knoll]

extensively used by "career coaches" though... sadly

[keen bolt]

those are leeches anyway

[vague epoch]

I read thıs with Meg's voice.

[clever helm]

Once again pointing out that people SGG contacted are probably bound by NDA until the game ships out with their names in the credits

[unique nexus]

Hi everyone!!

[median flint]

Hi all! Been following Supergiant religiously since I got Bastion in a humble bundle. Paid full price for Transistor and Pyre, bought Hades for Switch on release (it was like 20% off right away tho), indoctrinated multiple people into following Supergiant, my cousin's son got all the titles and 63 heat in like three months somehow...

yeah, so I'm a fan.

[sullen knot]

[tawny snow]

I mostly agree, but the classifications aren't useless. No test can accurately put you in the right box, and really you should be considering where you are on the spectrum instead of which box you're in, but with that it's a fairly useful (though tiny) snippet of what a person is like

[rare flume]

All models are wrong, but some are useful

[plucky pilot]

How tf do I get image perms

[modest badger]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[violet hemlock]

send images with links

just post it to imgur or discord and link it

its to stop raiding

[plucky pilot]

What even is raiding

[violet hemlock]

people joining to spam stuff that doesn't adhere to the server rules, essentially

if they cant post images usually they'll just not do it, and even if they do use links dyno deletes link spam

[modest badger]

I had a weird thought:
Do you think it’d be possible to edit most of the dialogue and major story beats from Hades into a radio play? You’d need some extra narration to fill in the gaps of gameplay, but given how the game is structured, I think there’s a chance it could work

[violet hemlock]

Hmmm

Well theres youtube channels that are just dialogue compilation with nothing else and i like listening to it so

Maybe?

It would work especially well with pyre if you removed the choice thing

[warm crane]

cant rlly find anyoen that talks about supergiant games, which one should i check out first

[short tundra]

it's worth playing the games chronologically so you can see the progression of sgg as a studio

tho some people find bastion's combat to be kind of clunky bc it's slower than hades's

[warm crane]

idk about chronological order

i'd rather play games that are fun right away

is bastion similar to hades ?

[short tundra]

well, they're all pretty fun, just in different ways. bastion's combat is similar to hades's but it's nowhere near as fast. you have different weapons to choose from, and can use two at once, but you have a singular special ability rather than things like boons.

[warm crane]

i wouldnt have brought it up if you didnt compare it to hades

i believe that a studio can make different genre of games

and a alternative hades wasnt rlly what i expected

[warm crane]

slow hades uh

sounds pretty fun

[short tundra]

the play style definitely stands on its own but you can see its influence on hades, it's pretty cool

[warm crane]

is the same

3/4 view

thing

[short tundra]

yeah

[warm crane]

uh

interesting

is the artstyle similar too ?

[short tundra]

it's still recognizably jen zee's style but definitely different from hades.

[warm crane]

would you say its good enough to stand on its own or is its existence overshadowed by hades

[ocean pelican]

Def good enough

Story + music easily keeps them strong

And thats for all the games

Also personally, while i played hades the most, you are gonna catch me speaking about the other games or jus gushing about them a lot

[olive hull]

i would not say that its existence is "overshadowed" by hades at all, theyre two different games. its simply a game worth playing and its still fun. its also short but if you go for 100% completion you can get a fair amount of hours out of it

[warm crane]

Good to know

[night salmon]

Bastion has a wonderful aesthetic and story, and the tempo of combat and ways of building your combat loadout are different enough from Hades to provide a discrete experience that's fun in its own right

Honestly, the combat in Hades is sometimes overwhelmingly fast for me, I had to practice a lot to stop lapsing into wild flailing at all the things flying at me all at once

Bastion gives you more opportunity to breathe and take in the visuals and music and Logan's atmospheric dynamic narration

It's simpler, but sometimes I don't need a full-course meal and a really perfectly-made sandwich hits the spot

[vale egret]

Bastion is a masterpiece

Period

[warm crane]

yeah same

[warm crane]

hmm hmm

[buoyant pivot]

Just imagine this: supergiant x team cherry creating together a new game. Ufffff

[violet hemlock]

ive been saying a sgg metroidvania would go so hard!!

[violet hemlock]

also, bastions gameplay isnt for me but the story and music and atmosmphere make it worth playing

the scene where rucks ||hums build that wall?? so many chills|| (spoilers obviously)

[brave ember]

Hi all. Someone from the management can explain what is the reason for the sudden increase in prices in steam at the market rate, and in the Epic Game Store does not?it seems nothing heralds this except the release of the sequel Hades @cursive galleon

[wild patrol]

elaborate?

hades is the same price on both platforms

oh i see. its a foreign currency thing. sorry i can't help you :(

inflation is pretty crazy around the world so taht might be it. i doubt its a conscious decision by sgg though

[brave ember]

Strange that it is not immediately on both, I think the problem lies in the commission of the digital store

[violet hemlock]

i made a tier list of how likely i am to cosplay hades characters

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/773390936830115861/1072670296525508678/image.png?width=856&height=586

[modest badger]

It’s funny you have a category for “not quite human” yet Dusa is still at the top

[violet hemlock]

no because i have the funniest idea

i literally just wear a blue screen suit neck down

i WILL do it eventually

[modest badger]

Ahhh

That would be pretty funny ngl

[formal geyser]

cosplay chaos by becoming the size of the sun

[violet hemlock]

stilts

tbh i could probably move chaos down t maybe bc that would be so much work

but like theyre my style

[warm crane]

skelly cosplay would be the easiest tbh

bouldy cosplay...

[faint moth]

just shapeshift into a boulder, ezpz

[warm crane]

the ultimate beach body

[ashen escarp]

Me explaining how Asterion can't be "not quite human" because he's the one with the most humanity

https://tenor.com/view/explain-gif-21856831

[violet hemlock]

un cosplayable though unless i do a half human half bull thing

or yknow. a fursuit

A dusa cosplay would be glorious

[summer willow]

How would you all rank the Supergiant games?

My ranking would prob be

Transistor<Bastion<Pyre<Hades

[keen bolt]

haven't played Pyre yet

so Bastion<Transistor<Hades

[mystic meadow]

Pyre>Hades>Transistor>Bastion

[stoic dove]

Pyre > Hades = Transistor > Bastion

[fringe lagoon]

Pyre > Transistor > Hades/Bastion

[untold cove]

Based

[zealous barn]

Transistor > Hades = Pyre = Bastion 🫡

[drifting oyster]

Transistor > Pyre > Hades >= Bastion

[wooden fern]

transistor > bastion > pyre > hades

[ocean pelican]

Pyre > hades = transistor > bastion

[short tundra]

pyre > bastion > transistor > hades

[violet hemlock]

uhh

hades > transistor = pyre > bastion??

[quick bluff]

this exactly

[violet hemlock]

hades slander (i’m incredibly biased)

[final rivet]

(same)

haven't played any other of Supergiant's games sooo my opinion can only be Hades is top, as of now

[violet hemlock]

please play transistor and pyre i will

[fringe lagoon]

tbh being the “worst Supergiant game” isn’t saying much; Bastion and Hades are probably both in my top 10 games overall

[ashen escarp]

Pyre > Hades > Transistor > Hades 2 > Bastion

[violet hemlock]

how can you rank hades 2

[zealous barn]

maybe they really really dont like bastion

[violet hemlock]

it’s not my favorite

personally i think hades 2 is a greater number then hades 1

[stoic dove]

Pyre is the most visually impressive in my opinion (though if you told someone that one "visually impressive" supergiant game that would narrow it down very little)

Also I have an easier time getting attached to the characters there

[zealous barn]

I cant get enough of all the parallax in transistor

[stoic dove]

even if it's by virtue of player self insert

[zealous barn]

all the pseudo lens flares

[summer willow]

that loading screen is mwah

[stoic dove]

I always thought it looked like an eye

which is confirmed when you're at the ||fall of soliam|| and it opens with the ||Golden Star of Soliam|| in the center

[summer willow]

also the pause menu

[stoic dove]

UI design in any supergiant game is good

I've never had a game that made me repeatedly press pause just to see the animations

that is until Supergiant came along

[ashen escarp]

Already love the art style so much

[wooden fern]

transistor solos

i will not take any criticisms at this time

[white cave]

For me it's Pyre for investment and world building, Hades for gameplay, Transistor for tragedy and Bastion for kicking the whole thing off

[mild thistle]

Transistor and Hades are different enough that they can't really be compared, haven't played the other 2

[misty bobcat]

Does anyone have favourite details you notice carry over in sgg games?

I've only played transistor and hades but small things like the scrying pool popup text is like the ones all over transistor, strongbow projectiles are like youngladies

[tardy barn]

I love playing “spot the instrument” with the soundtracks.

[mystic meadow]

Powershooting mechanic in pyre and hades, can’t remember if its in bastion

[ocean pelican]

Its in all 4

[ocean pelican]

The difficulty modifiers

[fringe lagoon]

I think there a couple of reused sounds from Pyre in Hades, can’t remember which ones though

[summer willow]

It’s in bastion, forgot it was in pyre though

[stoic dove]

I think Chaos' gate could pass off as a Triumvirate sigil from Pyre

[formal geyser]

If I'm not mistaken the aim line in hades and pyre is the same graphic?

[untold cove]

Power-cast sound from Pyre is definitely reused in Hades

[violet hemlock]

who would be in who’s place in a hades pyre au 👀👀

i was thinking chaos for sandra

[untold cove]

Fikani & Hedwyn = Orpheus & Eurydice?

[violet hemlock]

ayo

[stoic dove]

ayo (2)

[summer willow]

Patroclus and Achilles would end up on enemy triumvirates

sisyphus as oralech

hades as AJ

[fringe lagoon]

I feel like Hades narrator would be a better AJ, but maybe that’s just bc their voices are so similar

[untold cove]

Hades narrator is AJ

[summer willow]

he would but that felt too obvious so I went Hades since they both in some way preside over an underworld

[white cave]

Theseus as Manley

[violet hemlock]

meg would be jodi i think

she just fits

[white cave]

I'm thinking Artemis for Moon Touched Girl, Hypnos for Rukey, and Skelly for Falcon Ron

[ashen escarp]

Meg could be Pamitha

[fringe lagoon]

Demeter as bertrude? idk they both have scary grandma energy

[untold cove]

Alecto could be Tamitha

And Tisiphone could be Xaxiana

[mystic meadow]

Don’t do that to xaxiana

[warm minnow]

tisiphone as falcon ron

[untold cove]

Falcon Ron has way too much charisma to be Tisiphone

[ashen escarp]

I feel like Tamitha's cooler in temper

Sir Gilman in stead of Poseidon :

• sea related
• far too much enthusiasm

[tawny snow]

Dusa could be tizo maybe

Hades as volfred

Achilles as gilman

These are all kinda stretches but I feel like that's the point

Charon as bertrude though I also like Demeter for her

Charon as umhilde maybe

[summer willow]

If hades 2 counts hecate?

[lone bramble]

is there vc's in this server?

[short tundra]

we don't have vc

[mystic meadow]

no venture capitalists?

[quick bluff]

gilman's a bit too bombastic for that to work. achilles and tariq might be a better fit(?)

[violet hemlock]

nah orpheus is absolutely tariq

there’s no debating that

my favorite miserable pathetic bards

[fringe lagoon]

It isn’t a sg game without at least one sad boy

[violet hemlock]

who’s the sad boy in transistor

[short tundra]

the cat

[quick bluff]

surely it’s the sword man himself

[violet hemlock]

he seems pretty happy

[fringe lagoon]

Yeah I was thinking of sword boyfriend

[cobalt gust]

wouldn't it be asher

[fringe lagoon]

Asher also kinda works. I guess transistor doesn’t have as much of a clear-cut sad boy

[tawny snow]

I think everything in transistor is a bit of a sad boy

[civic fractal]

Royce is kinda vibing

[olive hull]

thanatos finally arrived waiting so patiently for meg and popup parade zag

[modest badger]

Ooooo, that Elysium background is real nice

[carmine mesa]

ok so i had this intrusive thought a few hours ago.

Imagine SGG made a game with the setting being: the 80's

hyper stylized, super exaggerated, with all the audacious and beautifully UGLY senses of fashion from all the shows of the time, including the oversized sunglasses

urban fantasy, the setting being an amalgamation of New York and Los Angeles

the catalyst of this idea? i saw some clips from the 80's animated XMen show

[clever helm]

Columbo is there

In fact
Columbo Game by SGG

Let's go

[modest badger]

https://tenor.com/view/columbo-shuffle-columbo-columbo-detective-dance-shuffle-gif-25072701

[toxic magnet]

We are very smart individuals

[short tundra]

they are right next to each other

[toxic magnet]

That’s true

Anyways

Whats the genre of each game?

[zealous barn]

big sad

[toxic magnet]

Hmm?

[zealous barn]

Everything except Pyre is somewhat related combat-wise I'd say. Pyre is more sports + visual novel

[toxic magnet]

I see

[zealous barn]

but chronological order is my recommendation too

[toxic magnet]

What’s the order, then?

[zealous barn]

Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, Hades

[wooden fern]

Beat me to it

[zealous barn]

trained touch typing just for this moment

[stoic dove]

Bastion is your typical hack and slash
Transistor is a pseudo strategy game-ish??? there's a turn based aspect to it
Pyre is a versus ball game with more visual novel aspects
Hades is a rogue like

I'm more biased towards Pyre

teehee

[toxic magnet]

Turn based 😔🫡

[olive hull]

its not very traditionally turn based

[short tundra]

yeah it's not like fire emblem or anything

[zealous barn]

^ i dont like turnbased stuff and i love transistor

[stoic dove]

more like

there are two phases

the phase where you dodge enemy attacks

and then you can periodically stop time to do a flurry of attacks

[zealous barn]

the two genders in transistor are 'do everything in turn()' and 'do everything with jaunt()'

[olive hull]

you can in fact play it entirely in real time if youd like, but its not recommended for the first time imo

[ashen escarp]

Some moments of the game will arguably be easier without the turn thing

[summer willow]

nba 2k but you cry

[tawny snow]

nba 2k but good and you cry

[violet hemlock]

you can add “and you cry” to any supergiant game

hack and slash but you cry
