I've totally seen a booth at a con that had really nice quality leather jackets and other accessories inspired by games
I hope I picked up a card from them. I mean everything was super expensive but still

way more, just be at the booth in full cosplay, take pics with urself
velvet tide
what are they gonna tell u if u show up as red for work every day?? its unprofessional??? you Are Being your profession

Are all fandoms like this? The social dynamic here could probably be the subject of a dozen sociology papers. Not that I'm complaining, this is one of the best kinds of weird.
velvet tide
like what?
peak falcon
Nothing I can really put my finger on , it's just something to the way people talk that fascinates me. Maybe it's just that I've never actually observed a 'normal' social group before and actually everyone's like this. 🔭

oh huh....i think what youre seeing is various internet cultures being brought in and meshing together, id guess

have y’all seen the deus ex jackets?? i mean obviously thats a higher level than supergiant can probably achieve but they are from like a real fashion line
they are so pretty but so expensive

Tfw you guys talk about cosplay while I'm asleep
viscid stream
@cursive galleon Hey Greg, I never realized on the team page that you're the only writer I see listed. Are you solely responsible for the stories? If so, do you make a story that art is then added to, or does Jen do some random art that you at some point add a story to that turns into a game down the road?

GUYS! Interview with @rain zinc about music in Transistor and Pyre!
btw you should check out the other episodes of Jake's podcast it's REALLY great! (they have a discord server too 👀 )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sDAsJjVGo0&feature=youtu.be
cursive galleon
@viscid stream Yeah I do the writing for our games. It's definitely not accurate to say I'm 'solely responsible for the stories' because we're a highly collaborative team and work closely together, though I work on developing the characters, world, and plot lines, and ultimately type the words and put them in the game (whether in text or audio form).
Story development is a collaborative and iterative process, and it's typically my responsibility to keep that work organized and moving forward. I often do need to adapt our stories to best suit the evolution of the design, art, and so on. A game like Pyre went through many many writing iterations before it took the form it did, and same goes for Transistor.
In addition to story writing I create our internal documentation around the gameworld, tone, and so on, which are resources other folks on team use with their work. I work closely with Jen on art, Darren on audio, Amir on design, and so on. Some of the benefit of being a small team is being able to do that and hopefully produce something that feels cohesive.

hi!!
viscid stream
@wheat jolt HYPE! Can't wait to watch it when I get home. Interview I saw last night was voice only type thing, but super cool. Had no idea about the layered music in pyre and transistor before the interview! Really explains that feel the music gives you and why it's so integral to the game, as well as feeling "alive" in a sense
@cursive galleon that's awesome to hear Greg. Thank you for the reply. I'm still amazed at the kind of uniqueness and quality that comes from just a handful of people. Although at the end of the day, a few people working closely together and sharing ideas beats people working separately and keeping most ideas to themselves, or just being unable to communicate one thing to the whole team quickly and get responsive feedback. Can't wait to see what the team will come up with next. Each game blows me away and is never what I was expecting going into it.
viscid orchid
Thank you for your answer Greg. I'm sure everyone here is glad to have you here.
I would ping while wrapping up in a blanket in the corner of a room, chuckling evilly
but I'll pass on that for now
cursive galleon
@viscid stream Thank you!! Your support really means a lot and helps keep me and the rest of us going and doing our best.

@cursive galleon Thank you, and everyone, for letting us all be here. If you guys ever need a cheerleader please look no farther than us! It really is amazing what you guys have made and I think all of it will stand the test of time, the real test. Turning a blank canvas into a masterpeice like you all have is harder than it tends to get credit for!
viscid orchid
It is most amazing that you manage to bring all these people here, yet the server doesn't degenerate into the equivalent of anarchy in a bottle, like YouTuber discords. Perhaps this is a testament to how mellow the people who follow Supergiant closely are.
clear thistle
All Hail Supergiant! The DEVS have spoken to us!
@cursive galleon Any suggestions on character development? I'm working on a game of my own.
cursive galleon
@clear thistle That's a pretty broad question...!
I like to think in terms of
- what does the character think they want?
- what does the character really want?
- what are the character's flaws?
Then triangulate.
velvet tide
oooooo, i love that what they THINK and REALLY want are separate
cursive galleon
Yeah, the conscious and the subconscious/unconscious.
viscid orchid
Sounds like Greg likes to write tragic characters!
cursive galleon
I think it's very true-to-life that many of us think we know what we want but in reality it's not exactly the case.
velvet tide
pam comes to mind first but man, thats such a human twist !!!!
cursive galleon
e.g. someone who wants fame probably wants acceptance, etc.
- thinks they want fame
velvet tide
OOOHHHH.......real tru tbh 😔
cursive galleon
so then character development is the character realizing they didn't really want fame, they just wanted someone close to them not thinking they're a piece of garbage all the time
viscid orchid
Stop it Greg! I can only cry so much. I will make myself a bunker, no supergiant games allowed!
cursive galleon
(as an off-the-top-of-my-head, hopefully-not-too-revealing example)
velvet tide
HHHHHHH U KINDA READ ME FOR FILTH THERE ,,,, perfect tho
cursive galleon
(with no relevance whatsoever to any work I may or may not have worked on or been working on)
viscid orchid
I've noticed characters in your games all have some sort of motif to them. Perhaps it's because of this approach.
They all have a very clear distinction in their character.
cursive galleon
That's either attempts at consistency or me being a hack!
cursive galleon
YES
stone relic
shhhh no spoilers pls
cursive galleon
though yeah, I also like to think in terms of 'what is this character doing for the story / what dimension of the theme does this character represent'
cursive galleon
As you've seen our games tend to have a tonal range, with some funny stuff and some serious stuff and shades in between, and it's fun to have different characters representing those different degrees along the range
viscid orchid
But your writing really makes the characters distinct from one another. Jen's art style also carries that. Must go hand in hand with what you talked about earlier
Yea, tones
cursive galleon
We talk lots and lots about tone and where tonally each character 'sits' within the boundaries of a given game we're working on.
velvet tide
u really get the feeling that sgg games are like.....everyone hand in hand, its nice
u hear abt some companies that are like "ya i didnt kno the role i was acting for" or "these two level developers didnt look at the others work till it was done", sgg is like......working together
viscid orchid
I've wondered a while about Pyre's tone. It seems very jolly, in both its color palette and its characters. You're on this journey with all these characters, and despite how dire the situation is, your bonds with them will carry you through in some sense.
It could also have been an incredibly depressing game all around.
The Downside is really not a nice place
velvet tide
pyre feels to me like a witness to difficulty :') like it can observe and hold your problems if you need it bc the whole crew has issues
viscid orchid
They do, but it never feels like the environment is the main issue. Well, that sounds weird since they're all exiles who in one way or another, want freedom. I suppose the best way I could put it, is that all the characters have some issue or motivation. The issues are carried by the characters, not the environment, and they're the interactions you get.
velvet tide
yeah!!
i think its nice, and it lets you feel that together-we-are-strong-ness
bc youre not really thinking about the awful downside, youre thinking abt your nightwing friends!
clear thistle
Hmm. Thanks @cursive galleon. I had been thinking of NPC characters you interact with in terms of jobs, but also giving them great personalities. Like what I'm working on right now- the Void Salesman, a shady, yet cheerful character that is somewhere between the Merchant from Resident evil 4 and Cayde-6 of Destiny.
Would this work, or do you suggest any tweaks?
His job? Sell you potentially cursed and dangerous items for a bit more fun.
Or is this the wrong channel for that?
viscid orchid
I don't know if Greg is trying to reply, I'm typing some meanie things
cursive galleon
I think that makes sense! I really like attaching characters to systems. Falcon Ron and Sandra from Pyre are examples of things that could have been character-less but I think benefited a lot from the attached personalities.
The game Hollow Knight has a fantastic example of this in its cartographer character (and you can probably think of many examples of your own). If it's a flavorful character it's already good, and if you can sneak in some development over time, even better.
viscid orchid
You have a lot more tact than I do Greg hohoho
velvet tide
fiorinol, thank goodness he does 😂 😂 😂
clear thistle
Thanks @cursive galleon
velvet tide
we can all learn from his patience and graceful "its up to interpretation" deflecting technique hfnfnvmcncnv
viscid orchid
I'm no writer, but personally, I think the character needs some work. Words are supposed to convey something, but in this case, I'm not sure what "shady but cheerful" is supposed to mean. Are shady characters never cheerful? You're also trying to convey what the character is supposed to be by mixing two characters from existing franchises. It's fine to inspire yourself from things, but I think if you had a better mastery of your character, you'd be able to describe in a way that I can kind of get it. I would also follow Greg's advice from earlier, Greg said he likes to gravitate his characters around their desires and their flaws.
sturdy oasis
Games where you can see characters other than the protag develop over time are really good
viscid orchid
See, I'm being a meanie
sturdy oasis
Like just passing by an adventurer then seeing the same one later or whatever
Small things
viscid orchid
The characters don't need to be developed in some cases
In the case of Cornifer I would think
The thing that's interesting with him isn't necessarily the personality, but how you get to find him
cursive galleon
Btw to clarify -- I was commenting broadly on the idea of NPCs-in-terms-of-jobs, not giving feedback on the specific idea. It's not my place to give feedback on specific character/story ideas for a bunch of reasons...!
viscid orchid
It's fine, I got what you meant.
I just thought you were dozen times more tactful than I could ever be. I should look up to you as an example haha
clear thistle
Ah. I mean that the Void Salesman is implied to be dangerous, other characters warn you to not go to him, but, yes he has cursed/otherworldy gear for sale, but his personality is disarming.
velvet tide
fio? honestly no joke i have gotten out of oversharing at like, job interviews, by going "how would greg answer this question?" in my head

WISE WORDS
viscid stream
@cursive galleon glad to know that hearing from fans keeps you guys happy and motivated 😃 this is seriously the first discord channel that I actually feel like I really want to hang out in and keep engaging with. Something about the games and the fans they attract really say something about your team and what magic you've all created!
I'm a bit late to the chatting, but if you don't mind one more question Greg, is there a reason for the crazy jump in characters between the games? It was 3 years from bastion > transistor and 3 again from transistor > bastion, so it doesn't seem like a time constraint. Or is there no method to the madness here, and it's just what happened to fit each story/world/gameplay style best?
dapper nymph
wtf i missed deep greg wisdom smh
ive never seen greg type so many words in one post before 
grave island
greg can be very wordy, i mean, just look at pyre :')
dapper nymph
:’’’)
cursive galleon
@viscid stream If by 'crazy jump in characters' you mean the relatively large size of the cast in Pyre, that was just something we were excited to try after having living in Transistor's world for several years. It was a big new writing challenge for me.
My take on it was pretty simple going in -- our characters from Bastion and Transistor seemed to be well regarded, so I would like to be able to make more characters. Jen loves illustrating them, I love writing them, let's make a game where there's room for more.
(That's of course not the entire thought process but it's some of it.)

viscid stream
@cursive galleon Thank you again for the answer! I would love to see more characters from both you and Jen 😃 I also meant how Bastion was 1 main character, 1 narrator, and 2 supporting characters. Then transistor had 1 main, 1 narrator/supporting, and I forgot the count, but quite a few more...."other" characters? Not really villains, but not supporting either? Either way it had more people, more backstories. Then Pyre as you know had a whole cast, with even more and more other characters not in the main party, on top of a great main cast in your own party.

Tbh the biggest reason I bought Transistor was the music. I barely knew what the game was about when I bought it. From there on I went and got the other two games and osts.

wheat jolt
Ah, curse my normal sleeping hours and timezone
viscid stream
@neon kayak especially pyre for me so far. I need to beat it though so I can have a full opinion >_>
Oh maybe Greg can finally push me through it lol. I feel the game is MEANT for you to take a loss or two, but every time I am about to lose I alt+f4 :( reminds me of my old fire emblem days of quitting before losing anyone
Although it's not the "final" match I'm talking about.... Just a regular one in the main loop of the game. Can't get over that fear, and the less I play the worse I get and now I'm losing even on the first match when I start it up :x
I guess an alternative is new game, practice until I never lose..... And then proceed to never lose a match?
viscid orchid
I found it difficult to lose even with the stars and higher difficulties
but I'm not a good reference
viscid stream
@viscid orchid I can't me good with 2d games for some reason. Isometric I can do OKAY. Platformer? I couldn't even beat LIMBO. @_@ 3d games though? No issues. I almost always play on hardest difficulties.
Bastion was great, transistor was a lot harder for me. Could do normal but ng+ was a bit too tough half way through or so
Great meaning I beat it without difficulty, and used the gods to make things more tough. Transistor I never used the things that made it tougher. Pyre I used the stars at first but since I started losing I've disabled them all

@abstract carbon I would love to know how much AI in video games is held back by hardware at the moment. Might be a better question for Gavin, but I'm sure he's always busy hehe. The AI in Pyre on higher difficulties is impressive to me, from a layman's point of view. I just wonder if it is hardware that is holding more "life-like" AI back in other games. Or just general thoughts on that.

pyre!!

Bastion, probably.

Transistor has been & will probably continue to be my favorite game in general for a long time. ❤
mint field
Transistor is really fantastic but I love the narration in Bastion.
gilded blade
mine's bastion, but that's for sentimental reasons because this game really changed my life, but i honestly would die for all of them
velvet tide
yeah all 3 games are amazing!!!!
mint field
I only just started playing Pyre though, so maybe I'll have a change of heart.
minor path
i would both kill for and die for pyre
neon kayak
transistor is also my favorite game in general
velvet tide
transistor has the best soundtrack tho imo
analog mason
Bastion for the gameplay and the westernpocalypse setting, Transistor for how Red doesn't care about anyone's opinion, including the player's, and Pyre for all the lovely characters in it and allowing me to convince a talking dog to keep his styling mustache
neon kayak
dystopian futures are my thing
minor path
listen. listen i know my icon doesn't suggest it right now. but hedwyn is actually my favourite character supergiant has ever made
mint field
Bastion has had a massive influence on the way I write tabletop RPG stuff, and I think Pyre is probably going to as well.
neon kayak
hedwyn is hot
analog mason
yeah, the worldbuilding in Pyre is impressive to say the least
neon kayak
i love him

whoops, hit enter too soon
but that statement holds
velvet tide
no, just soon enough
neon kayak
i can't wait for their new game
mint field
What I meant to say was, I'm consistently impressed by Supergiant's ability to marry worldbuilding with gameplay elements in ways that encourage the player to push outside their comfort zone
Like the biographical snippets in Transistor requiring you to use all the abilities in every configuration
Or the mechanic in Pyre which might be a spoiler to mention, but also encourages different team builds
midnight sonnet
I am so bad at pyre's combat, it's ridiculous
but I still really like the game x)
eager lava
I'm kind of scared about them releasing a new game because I don't think they can top Pyre but then I didn't want to play Pyre at first because I didn't think I would like it as much as Transistor
pine roost
i need to give transistor another shot
mint field
I don't mind being bad at Pyre's combat because the Voice sassing you is easily worth it.
pine roost
i love both bastion and pyre
but transistor never really spoke to me
ill probably try it again sometime soon
analog mason
I felt, playing Pyre, that even when the gameplay is sometimes lacking, the worldbuilding more than makes up for it
mint field
CzechMate, the Transistor is literally speaking to you the whole game, what are you talking about

even if sgg makes zero more games i still love them like.......we have such good stuff

Hi! I just wanted to say I'm happy to join your official Discord. I'm the Ginger [E]nforcer from PAX East 4(?) years ago when you were demoing transistor, who was the last person to day. I remember you guys taking video of me and talking to Greg to end my demo. It was a surreal experience, and still brings a smile to my face to this day. ❤ Thanks.
Have a great day everyone!

Jodariel can definitely be a little overbearing, and the stoicism is certainly intimidating. I think it's impossible to be universally palatable when you've been in exile for a hefty chunk of your life. 🤔

I think Bastion set me down this path, as it really opened up my eyes for games as art, and my dream in life is to create games that can compete with yours in terms of how absolutely amazing they are. Keep it up, guys, and you'll go down in history, I'm sure of it!

@neon kayak hey, I'm a bit late, but about game AI I can almost guarantee it's not very limited by hardware. You can ask a proper game dev, but lots of modern games have TERRIBLE AI, and yet I still haven't found a game better than F.E.A.R. for it's AI. It really comes down to clever code that SHOULDN'T be too large. Most of game hardware is used to calculate how things look, not how they act. The exception being physics. I also know some games have engine and/or 32 bit limitstations on how many threads of AI can be going at once. I don't know if that's purely an engine limitation or what, but I know for instance Skyrim's huge "war/battle-thing" was limited to the old 32bit gamebryo engine, which the limitation was made a LOT better by upgrading to a 64 bit of the same engine. Anyone feel free to correct if I said anything wrong here! I've learned a lot about game engines over the years, but AI is something I've only lightly looked into, and only done very very basic stuff on my own with basic "if this then that" type of logic
solid cobalt
Gavin is my hero 😄

When I first played the game, some were hard for me
Now, nah

Yeah, I was considering trying once, but I gave up
viscid orchid
One of the main issues you run into is
Humans don't move according to the most optimal path according to a mathematical equation
viscid orchid
The other one would likely be that the more complicated the environment is, the more annoying making the AI is.
Another thing would be difficulty

@indigo slate in terms of best AI? 😛 I've not tried it yet! Is it the same as it was about 5 years back? Or whenever it was I saw it last. I heard the depth of that game is INSANE, in a great way
where are they reading questions from for the livestream?
analog mason
there is a chat there somewhere
indigo slate
@viscid stream I meant that this is one of the games where most of the computational power is spend on how things act and not on how things look 😄 . I can't tell whether it has the best AI or not but the simulation is definitely incredibly deep. Unfortunately I can't tell you more, I rarely play the game.

grave island
Transistor fandom has been trying to get answers for like TWO YEARS
cursive galleon
They have! I can attest.

maybe they asked the wrong questions

Or more likely Greg will say "That's an interesting question!" and nothing else
csab, I'm pretty sure there are archives of past chats with Greg abt Transistor if you really want them, I won't be able to go digging for them for a few hours though

also what s royce doing at the start of every recursion

i think the theory is that it takes one of your selections, right? and one of hers were linguistics?
turbid lodge
Selections?
olive hull
or maybe not even theory just canon, im not sure with transistor

I thought it was the spookiness of no selections from mr nobody
grave island
I might be able to come to the stream? Idk, working out times is hard
6 pm pacific right?
grave island
9 AM, yeah i cant do that probably that's uhhh 1 am
olive hull
everyone in transistor (aside from mr. nobody) has selections, red's are music and linguistics. if the transistor takes one of them away, it explains why she can hum but not speak words
full plover
Will these streams be archived on youtube later for people who can't tune in live?
cursive galleon
@full plover Short answer is we don't know. Our first time streaming on Steam and there isn't an obvious archive function. Maybe someone out there will record it or something if we aren't able to pull it off. Apologies for not having our ducks in a row on that just yet.
grave island
Transistor will always have my heart
olive hull

turbid lodge
"not having our ducks in a row"? You guys love words, eh?

closest I've found on the website is this:
Can I save my broadcast?
No, broadcasts are currently live only. However, if a video is reported for review, Steam may save some or all of the broadcast for review.
cobalt gust
awwww
cobalt gust
I'm going to try and record the Transistor one tomorrow, hopefully
turbid lodge
Ah, here's a question about Transistor: is "the country" death, reality, or just another layer in the simulation?
grave island
Pyre was mmmm ambitious, and I acknowledge that! but either it's not what I needed from a game at this point in my life or not the kind of thing that resonates with me in general 🤷
Oooh country questions
frigid agate
In theory, Greg could just report the stream and then Steam might save it...
turbid lodge
Another one: What does the Transistor really take from people?
olive hull
pyre was actually exactly what i needed at that point in my life, so while transistor is still my favorite i really appreciate it and how much like real friends the characters felt
cursive galleon
I think we wanted the Country to feel as ambiguous to the people of Cloudbank as the idea of the afterlife may seem to us.
cobalt gust
What actually are the Process? Are they robots, are they aliens?
olive hull
i think i said that a lot, but.. these games just all mean a whole lot to me!
grave island
The Process is...old. as old as this town...
cursive galleon
It's also how many people have very different views of the afterlife; likewise in Cloudbank there may be people with different points of view on the Country. That's not to say the Country == the afterlife, though if you got a bit of that vibe from it that's hopefully not entirely by accident.
turbid lodge
@cobalt gust the process is literally that, the process or programs that run the city
cursive galleon
@cobalt gust They're a part of the world that reveal themselves and start doing what they're doing due to the events of the story. The average citizen of Cloudbank would be very alarmed by the sight of them.
cobalt gust
ah cool
turbid lodge
Speaking of, do the people of Cloudbank know that they are in a simulation?
If they actually are, that is
grave island
That's a pretty big assumption to make
cursive galleon
We could maybe hop into #transistor if we wanna go spoilery btw or definitely load up on questions for the stream tomorrow if you'll be around!
grave island
Yeah :')
turbid lodge

cursive galleon
@turbid lodge Who says it's a simulation?
cobalt gust
As we speak I can hear all the users of this server taking out their blank tomes, jotting down questions
grave island
I don't like that theory personally but it's not off the table
turbid lodge
What with all the programming imagery, it's a logical conclusion
grave island
I'll be able to get chatlogs from previous years' convos with Greg later, I can put them in #transistor
turbid lodge
