vale harness
#

I've been here for maybe 30 minutes and already peer pressured into throwing more money at supergiant for pyre and writing something aaaaaaaaa

primal rose
#

cursive sage
#

XCOM

dapper nymph
#

portal 2

vale harness
#

too many to count, to be honest

olive hull
#

i automatically started typing "transistor" because its always my response to "whats your favorite game"

jovial cave
#

I like Stellaris, Homeworld, Journey, Hell's Blade, and list goes on and on

vale harness
#

do love Talos principle and Elite: Dangerous alongside A Hat in Time especially though

dapper nymph
#

also witcher 3, bioshock, any blizzard game... lots more

vale harness
#

oh and gravity rush <3

dapper nymph
#

@olive hull LOL

vale harness
#

gravity rush is divine

olive hull
#

i like nier automata a lot, and arkane's games like dishonored and prey

dapper nymph
#

“so, what’s your favori-“ “TRANSISTOR” “i was gonna say movie but ok”

primal rose
#

Metroid prime 2 echoes
Transistor
Darksiders 2
Horizon Zero Dawn
Star Wars Kotor 2
Bloodborne
Sanctum 2

jovial cave
#

Actually the first time I saw Red, I thought she would slash a way out of Cloudbank

rough snow
#

Transistor 2 bc why not?

dense coyote
#

So now there are two servers. Great.

vale harness
#

I have access to about 426 steam games + 30-ish assorted non-Steam games so picking just 7 favorites is a Herculean task

primal rose
#

I booted it up and I'm doing a grey male playthrough atm

vale harness
#

I've never been able to get anything on a sale, well until now

torpid edge
#

hey uhhh question

vale harness

dapper nymph
#

how to ruin a supergiant fan’s life:
step 1. play (Paper Boats)(Bound Together)(Setting Sail, Coming Home)
step 2. profit

minor path
#

basically, yeah

torpid edge
#

torpid edge
#

puggggggg

dense coyote
#

I just came home from work and whoaaaa, news from SGG O_o

broken cairn
#

@granite hearth HEY

torpid edge
#

why'd sgg make a new one

vale harness
#

ok setting sail, coming home is like my favorite track from bastion (actually that's a lie, it's probably either In Case of Trouble or Mine, Windbag, Mine)

minor path
#

because this way it's official and can be verified

vale harness
#

actually no

dapper nymph
#

i havent played bastion so i havent listened to the soundtrack yet

dense coyote
#

Like, an official SGG server and a slightly less official

torpid edge
#

i guess that's true. still kinda weird lmao

vale harness
#

my favorite bastion track isn't in case of trouble, its probably A Proper Story

granite hearth

olive hull

dense coyote

Yes, she's here

vale harness

The entire Transistor soundtrack is just gold.

jovial cave
#

Yeah I'm going to sleep as well, see ya

primal rose
#

Do you think Darren ever gets annoyed when he releases a soundtrack and then people ask him for this other version of this one track that played for 30 seconds

short tundra
#

Deutsch ist mein Nebenfach!

wintry pecan
#

Or all of them.

vale harness
#

Transistor has some lovely vocal songs honestly

minor path
#

mainly because we went from about 20 members to over 100 very, very quickly and the bot posted a message for every single one of them

granite hearth
#

No lmfao I’m sure he’s glad people love the alt ver

vale harness
#

@short tundra you're doing great so far, keep it up <3

wintry pecan
#

Yeah, honestly I was so moved when I played the game because of the vocal tracks.

vale harness
#

torpid edge

pyre i mean

because there was no ng+ and i didn't wanna go through the journey again

Transistors ending got me bad

neon kayak
#

They're all wonderful games, but I found playing Pyre the most comfortable experience probably... Don't know why 🤷 got it to 100% but might get to others as well. So many reasons to keep playing

#

It's a pretty strong ending... In terms of hitting your feels

use the steam refund policy to your advantage then. get it, play for an hour, if you don't like it, refund it

For my money, it took some getting used to, but once I did it was great fun.

I probably should have dialed up the difficulty when things got too easy (once I adapted to the controls), but I think that's a function of my personal views on challenge.

it's an unusual concept...

Steam refund is fantastic, definitely agree with the others who mentioned it

steep sun

super giant is like number 1 indie dev followed by team cherry

for me

bleak kernel
#

(If you think a victory unearned is worthless, I encourage you to do the same, though.)

#

As far as I can tell the major thing it influences is the enemy AI - more aggressive, better passing play, etc.

steep sun
#

anyone has any idea how their next game is going to playout?

bleak kernel
#

The game has its own internal scaling on top of that - once you get to pick your opponents, every subsequent round against a team sees them refine their skillset and whatnot.

echo pilot
#

I wonder if there is an effort being made to port the games to Switch or not... I'd totally buy all the games at full price again just for the portability factor, but if there isn't enough people to do so that's understandable

bleak kernel
#

uh my comment regarding scaling was w/r/t Pyre, not the next game.

steep sun
#

no i mean i was asking in general

bleak kernel
#

Understood. To that, I'm afraid I have no idea.

steep sun
#

as what to expect from their next game

#

i mean it could be an rpg of some kinda

bleak kernel
#

'something different', going on the utterly infalliable 2-induction approach.

#

(or as my friends in math like to call it, 'engineering induction')

steep sun
#

i guess they always try something different

bleak kernel
#

That's what I mean, yeah.

steep sun
#

also any reason why they got warner bros and not for the other two games?

bleak kernel
#

Given the glimpses of the culture I've seen from interviews and whatnot that's probably a pretty safe bet; I would reckon they'd get bored working on the same sort of thing over and over.

acoustic moth
#

Bastion was through an indie games program I think with WB?

#

So not necessary after that with Transistor and Pyre.

steep sun
#

so they became self publisher after bastion?

#

any particular reason for leaving WB? just wanted to know

#

A cursory inspection of the steam store for their latter two games suggests yes to your first question; I have no idea for the second.

#

Although the blind-guess answer would be 'because no publisher means no publisher taking a cut'.

i see

well, off to cook dinner

#

I'd suppose the drawback would be 'no publisher fronting the costs of development'? Unfortunately my knowledge of the video game production process is pretty vague, so, y'know. Grain of salt and all that.

#

Bye!

lol

#

so next game would be 2020 right?

@steep sun We're happy to answer questions like that. In Bastion's day you strictly needed a publisher to release a downloadable game on a console. We really wanted our game to be on the Xbox 360 and we found a willing partner in Warner Bros.

#

Like each of our games since, Bastion was self-funded, though WB enabled us to get it on console and supported us in other ways, e.g. giving us a strong presence at E3 and PAX East.

#

We're an independent studio and want to learn how to do every aspect of game making so when it came to Transistor, we decided to try and self-publish, since that became an option by that point.

#

best of luck towards your next game, i am pretty excited to see what you guys present

We did it again on Pyre after it worked out well the first go-around.

#

is it hard to self publish vs a publisher like wb?

#

Is mobile publishing any different?

cursive galleon
#

We still have a great relationship with WB and everything, and it's really just about wanted to stay as independent and self-sufficient as possible.

#

@steep sun That's a complicated question. Short answer is yes, it's hard. But it's the right choice for some smaller developers given the state of things these days. For other developers, partnering with a publisher is a good idea. Really depends.

#

@sturdy oasis It's definitely different in some ways, though having a good publishing partner is key for many mobile games. I'm not as close to that side of things anymore -- it's a really fast-moving world. We self-published Transistor for iOS though and that worked out well enough for us, I think partly because the game had already earned recognition on other platforms.

Thanks for answering! This is interesting to read 😃

vapid galleon
#

Agreed. That was very informative!

steep sun
#

thanks a lot , personally going towards game design career and wanted to know the difference

cursive galleon
#

Yeah, right on...! Digital distribution and self-publishing is really what enabled smaller studios like Supergiant to happen at all. The market is tough since players have so many choices but on the other hand it's technically never been easier to publish a game.

#

I recall Jeff Vogel had some articles going into that last point.

#

what about publsihing in swtich since its a better platform for indie devs

cursive galleon
#

@steep sun These days yeah, the Switch is an excellent platform in general. We have our own tech and tools so it's not as simple as one would hope to bring our games over to it, though haven't ruled anything out either.

#

Personally I'm glad the system's been so well received and really like it, as someone who's been playing games on Nintendo consoles for most of my life (along with other consoles and computers too).

sturdy oasis
#

Yeah! After the Wii U it’s good to see Nintendo supporting more third party devs

steep sun
#

so is porting for switch hard as compared to mobile?

viscid orchid
#

Oh, so you guys develop your own tools and don't use an existing engine?

#

You are truly crazy people

steep sun
#

yes

#

lol

cursive galleon
#

@steep sun It's hard to say, and I'm not an engineer either. I think it really depends on the game and other factors. Mobile is tough as a catch-all too since there are a million different devices and stuff....

viscid orchid
#

Yea, I'm no amazing developer either, but I can confirm what Greg says, mobile is incredibly annoying to port anything on, especially with your own rendering engine, because there are tons of phones, a bunch of them are hiDPI too, so not only do you have to render more pixels for a certain estate, but this can cause a lot of problems in the performance department.

#

The wildly different screen sizes makes designing an interface very annoying, more than on desktop

steep sun
#

how big is the team at super giant anyway?

@steep sun We're around 15 people. We were 7 at the end of Bastion, then grew to 12 for Transistor, and just grew some more this year but plan to stay small.

#

@solid cobalt We'll have to update that page pretty soon...!

#

I'm back for a bit. how's y'all doing

viscid orchid
#

And since Supergiant develops their own engine, it's just not as simple as going File -> Export -> Nintendo Switch 😂

#

Of course, developing your own stuff has a set of advantages

elfin dove
#

I mean, you still have to go through the menu wizard, right?

viscid orchid
#

And it's sadly not as simple as "Hey, I'm just going to render this in OpenGL on Switch", because you have to follow Nintendo's SDK

#

IDK how it is nowadays, but the Wii U SDK was very difficult to work with.

#

And you have all the time it takes. Asking for the SDK, getting the SDK, reading the documentation, figuring out how to implement it, testing it extensively, sending it off to Nintendo for approval, waiting forever, having it sent back being told X or Y doesn't work, fixing it, sending it back, waiting forever again etc...

#

Now don't tell Reggie I said it takes forever to get approved, I don't want his terminators at my place.

Hey Reggie! Guess what Florinol said!
