I think it’s just that the camera feels a bit closer to the character than in a lot of iso games.
The only other iso game (that i can think of rn) that i liked was baldurs gate dark alliance 1 &2
Im sure ive enjoyed more isos but i cant think of any lol
Does Civ count as iso?
Havent played
The newer ones are technically 3D, but I think they’re iso
But I think?
Yeah
Whats 4x?
Civ-style games, where you control an empire or country or something
4x is games like civ, where the goals are roughly "explore, expand, exploit, exterminate"
Oh ok
Eh
Never got into those. Well, i never played them but the idea never appealed to me rip
Well maybe you'll come around if sgg does a take on them
Bertrude can't see, she's got a cloth on her face
Poor bertrude
omg COOL
It doesn't even spoil, so pure
bertrude got the mike wazowski treatment
"LOOK, GUYS, WE ART FEATURED UPON THY PAX WALL"
Judging by the ceiling, looks to scale to me

LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL WAGON CHILDREN
looks wonderful
i keep scrolling back to look at this........MY NIGHTWINGS FAMILY.....THEYRE REAL.....LIFE SIZED
go to pax sparrow........hug him
GET A PIC...KISSING THE HEDWYN WALL........make it ur drivers license photo........

kickstarter to fund shipping costs to cut out and mail the hedwyn wall to sparrow after pax
i got a pic with jodi from the old pyre wall at pax east 👀
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DaHbU6_U8AAGova.jpg
now i gotta fix up my cosplay and take a photo with jodi from the new wall next pax east 👀 👀 👀
👀

ahhh that pyre wall is so cool! What a perfect backdrop for cosplay photos
lookin snazzy
Hope you guys have a great time!
Same. Can't attend these things, they are too far from Russia.
Poster is so beautifuuuulll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish i could go there!!!!
same, sparrow, cept I give Hedwyn an attack hug!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI7tWd7B3iI hi guys. imagine playing pyre like this
This video tutorial will explain how to mod any toaster to control your PC game or computer in just three easy steps. No engineering experience is required, ...
is this legit?
That’s Actual True Verified Nightwing mode
folks in the downside would hack toasters for other purposes
i wish my tablet worked on the computer i borrow to play pyre with tbh, id love to try a rite w pen and tablet
i dont have pyre on pc, otherwise i would try :<
A gentle reminder to check the #480043381888647168 before asking questions in the Q&A, please!
Playing Pyre with a pen and tablet...? How would that even work??! That sure would be interesting....
it can replace the mouse and click, and has buttons you can put commands to in theory
"In theory" are my favorite words before reality gets in the way
Especially when it comes to Magic the Gathering
OH DAMN
There's Binding of Isaac tarot cards, Supergiant has enough characters to easily hit the major arcana
Idk anything abt tarot but xel if u ever organize a deck to be made hell yeah will i be in it
i think the individual casts are too small but all three...
theres a wheel of fortune card right, thats def like.....soliam/the rites/aj and (uhhh sunny weight...?)
the sun/moon, obvious
what other are there. The lovers? redboxer?
The Fool as the Kid
Rucks as the Hierophant
The Stars
the stars=the stars
The Hanged Man, The Tower
reader as magician maybe?
Um, i actually know stuff about tarot but this is requiring me to think about what characters would best represent the major arcana
The Tower - the calamity
oooh u kno abt tarot!! Nice
ahh pls dont talk abt endings in here tho
The World
Sorry, kamila
this is difficult bc were talking across all 3 games...np weve just gotten complaints before
But one of the bastion endings really does match death
Yeah!!
Balls, I forgot that one
1 - the magician
2 the high priestess
3 the empress
4 the emperor
5 the hierophant
6 the lovers
7 the chariot
8 strength
9 the hermit
10 wheel of fortune
11 justice
12 the hanged man
13 death
14 temperance
15 the devil
16 the tower
17 the star
18 the moon
19 the sun
20 judgement
21 the world
i'm not an expert!!! but i can tell u that i think royce is the chariot
The chariot means finding your direction/goal in life
So that could work since he's driven about the process
Celeste for stars?
Zia as the high priestess
Well, celeste's design certainly does suggest stars. But the star means hope and faith
So hedwyn could fit. Or all of the nightwings
Um, do you guys want all the cards to be imdividualized?
But it could also go for the calamity in bastion
oooooh hanged man reader...
Reader as hanged man is good
actually scratch that, if we're talking trna only i think royce should be the moon
otherwise i can think of a lot of other supergiants who are a better fit
Judgement could be the true nightwings together
Multiple characters fit into same roles lol
and oops hey maybe we should continue these convos on their respective channels, i am seeing some forbidden names mentioned in here...
yeah
Oh, youre right!
Scenes from PAX! (I'm not there personally, this is from John-Paul!)
Cool!
Next are from Logan (who is a really good photographer btw).
@abstract carbon bringing down the hammer.
I can't help but notice that once again, bertrude is barely visible
I hope a vinal of an OST is playing at the booth
oooooooh NICE
Playin’ on the ol’ gramophone?
You better believe it.
Those pictures are awesome!!
ooh I hope I can find a better look at that Pamitha cosplayer. I'm trying to do that cosplay myself and I love snooping on what other people have done
Is SGG still gonna be there on Monday? I live up here and a coworker hooked me up with a ticket
(Also how are they not part of the Video Game Music Theory panel, that seems like a no-brainer)
The transistor t-shirt sorta gives off a vaporwave aesthetic. I like it
Can we please get physical releases of bastion and transistor for the switch?
I really want those on my shelf. I can’t tell you how many copies I’ve bought for friends when it comes to bastion.
it's been asked several times before
haha yeah i feel like it would be a good addition to the faq
its frequently asked enough
I'd love for physical copies through Limited Run Games, like they just did for Bastion, because I don't have a Switch lol 😛
i hope eventually the other games will be on lrg too but i know there are no plans rn
which is good bc i do need to save my money for now 😅
Oops, sorry for the late reply, but we will be at PAX on monday! no plans so far of leaving early
🎉 Looking forward to it!
i just had a dream i went to pax... haha it was a bit disappointing to wake up
one year i will 
One day... One day...
Oh man you're going to be at PAX?!?!?! jealous!!!!!!! 😋 😭
omg they look great!!
i wonder if theyre here 🤔
oooooo
I wish I had cosplay chops... at most I think I might rig a plumbob out of some poster board and go as a Sim 😆 (tbf I didn't know I was gonna be able to go until two days ago!)
That's amazing!!! They look completely awesome!!!
more light up transistors it's so good
so amazing!!
i swear to god
on of these days i'll go and like get gud at handpainted texturing
and do the kid
one of these days
would have to be NPR Though, would need to interpreted differently for PBR
I didn't get a chance to ask for a pic but shout out to the Nightwings!Red cosplayer 
Yes!!
Not yet! I'll make sure to show her. 😄
My dream is to do a Sandra cosplay ❤
youll get there!! 😤
well theres your transportation costs cut, anyway
if you do somehow make it to pax east as the blackwagon then we gotta have a pyre cosplay meetup
Oh of course
I just don't know if I would want to do actual wheels or fake wheels to cover walking around like a Flintstones car
I cant find it but a friend of mine made a transistor pattern dress a while ago!!
I absolutely think it's doable
Use the handle pattern for the wrap on a high ponytail, some kind of visor with a single red eye
hey everyone someone wished me a good upcoming rosh hashana and that i should be "inscribed in the book of-" and i kinda "oh i kno this one" mouthed "of rites!" and they finished with "of life" and i have a seasonal problem on my hands now
oh no
Someone told me the Ti'zo pin on my bag was cute today 🙌
aaaa nice!!
That’s success
I was wondering cause I’ve been trying to get people I know into Supergiant games, have any of you tried spreading the good word about the games, how many people did you manage to “invite” to the games?
After months of insisting I managed to get 1! (one) friend to play Pyre. He sent me this the other day https://i.imgflip.com/2h9w0l.jpg
That’s a amazing
i've brought most of my friends over to supergiant's stuff...
i'd ballpark like 10-12 people?
3 since coming to japan last year
I wonder if the games are known in Japan. Is there even a japanese translation?
Impressive numbers! I think I got one acquaintance to get into the games a bit, idk if they still play and stuff..
There is an (iffy) Japanese translation
of Transistor, anyways
idk about Bastion or Pyre
Oooh..
I was introduced to the games by my boyfriend. Well, we were only friends when he told me about Transistor. Nowadays I jokingly hold against him the fact that he got me into something with such a small fandom
@restive stream could tell you more about the japanese transistor translation haha
we had a handful of conversations about it
Is studying English widespread in Japan?
It's mandatory starting in elementary school but a lot of people's english is still very poor
The bad part about translations is that you miss on the amazing voice acting. I mean for some people english does sound like sahrian
That’s fair enough, I think it’s like that in many countries who put English as mandatory in school to try get people into it
In Spain english is mandatory but the english levels in general are... very bad. I saw some streamers and youtubers play Pyre's spanish translation and to put it nicely... it's not very good.
Most of the translations are pretty iffy, the Russian one I know was pretty wild lol
according to savi anyways
Or maybe it's because I'm so used to english that I usually dislike spanish translations of all media despite it being my native language
Nah it's probably an iffy translation haha
The Japanese one...let's see, there was something about Red's personal pronoun choice
The rus one was very weird. I didn’t look much into it myself, but it felt off quite a bit, but got the point across I guess
I still wonder how they made the neutral pronoun thing work in spanish seeing how we don't officially have one and all words are either male or female, if that makes sense
At any rate if anyone wanted to offer opinions or re-translations the team would probably welcome them! Ask first and in DMs of course, lol
sparrow and I spent uhhhhhhh a while finding typos in the English version soooo
I don't know if I would be up for making a re-translation of the game. I could only help with typos mostly.
Oh yeah no I'm not suggesting a full re-translation!! More like, if something was bothering you you could always report it
I'm not asking you to do a bunch of work for free 😂
More like "If you have concerns/comments you can always share them"
I played the english version though I'm tempted to re-play it in spanish out of curiosity 😆
Only watched some streamers playing it in spanish for the first time and saying that the translation wasn't very good
I did peek into the game files and noticed that some character names and triumvirate names are translated, which makes sense but still sounds sooooo weird to me
Triumvirates I understand but I'm not sure about my stance regarding name or especially surname translation.
I know for the German version (i think?) they changed Volfred's name because it wouldn't sound right so, honestly I don't mind if changes have to be made to keep the sound consistent and/or avoid something that sounds unintentionally silly or dumb 😂
Ahhh yeah, definitely. Some names can sound quite unfortunate in other languages 😆
Thinking more about it, I always saw translations as literal translations, which sometimes might feel even a bit disrespectful when you change someone's surname just because, since in the real world doing that would be very disrespectful. However, I suppose that the idea behind that is that every language is not a translation but as if the world was meant to be in "that language" which explains why the characters would be named according to something that would make sense for that language.
I suppose in Pyre's case is a bit weird because the voice acting is still in english regardless of the language.
yeah! good translations are ALWAYS about meaning more than the specific words
sometimes to preserve meaning you have to change up words, sentences, or even large portions of a work, and there's a lot of thinking and collaboration that goes into what the intended meaning is, what the connotations of words are, etc
that's why you can have 500 different translations of something like the odyssey
Ahh yes, like sometimes you have to change the exact translation for something that still carries a similar meaning but flows better
The Russian official translation is... Iffy.
It has good moments and the translator's have found some good alternatives to the English phrases and words.
But they are "compensated" by very not amazing feats of translation and writing.
The Jomuer Valley was made into something that is read wrong immediately (Джомуэ; close to Jomue), the bog-crones are translated literally (which sounds weird, and short version made the race be named, literally, "old women"), and Pyrehearts are turned into more of a Fiery or something.
Also, "triumvirate" is replaced by "triad", which is a close choice, if not for one thing. "Triumvirate" works good in Russian as well.
And the word used for "Scribes" has more immediate meaning as "people who like books and read them a lot", not "people who write books and chronicle the history".
IMO when you know the language playing in original trumps any sort of localisation
So uh
We lucky few, eh
Still, I appreciate them making an effort and handling several moments well.
Like translating "Saps" and making Fae's name rhyme exist.
Ye, work of translators is still appreciated.
Oh I've been tagged! Hello! Like @grave island said there were really interesting choices made on Red's first person pronoun--she uses one that's tomboyish (along with a more forceful, masculine register in general) in the terminal conversation where she's telling Boxer how she's gonna destroy the Spine, but in every other situation she uses a more neutral first person pronoun and a feminine register, including in the conversation with Boxer on the obituary terminal. Honestly I'm not entirely sure what the translation was aiming for with that--I'm not a native speaker and while it's common to change pronouns/registers based on the audience you're speaking to, I've never really encountered someone switching registers when speaking to the same audience under different situations.
More thoughts on the Japanese here, if you're curious: http://toushindai.tumblr.com/post/165693966690/some-further-thoughts-on-transistor-in-japanese
@clever helm
I mean, even while knowing the language of origin, it is easier to read text in you native tongue.
Not necessarily
I love my native Russian language, but I'm accustomed enough to reading English
In some cases it is better to use English (like in Darkest Dungeon, where no translation can replace Wayne June and the wording).
But sometimes you don't want to do extra translation work.
Ye, I can respect that
And not all know English as good as us.
Like, in some kind of Paradox Games strategy, say, Stellaris, where there is an awful lot of text
So striving for the best translation is still important.
Or an unnarrated indie, like FTL
@clever helm
Yes. Or in Shadowrun games.
Watching a guy I know stream some Darkest Dungeon right now, funny you should mention it 😃
Insidious killer
No.
did anybody say shadowrun
Slow and insidious killer
Ah. You are correct, sir. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
@plucky goblet
I did, and mainly computer adaptation of Hairbrained Schemes.
oh, not tabletop. i'm back to sleep
Because I had no pleasure of playing tabletop.
Unfortunately.
@clever helm
The abyss returns even the boldest gaze.
Prodigious size alone has no intrinsic merit, unless inordinate exsanguination be considered a virtue
BTW as far as beautifully narrated games go, Supergiant's very own Bastion and Transistor probably wouldn't benefit from a localisation with some voice actor.
channel relevancy restored
bless. I love good VA's tbh
they make me love whatever game i'm playing, 'tis such a huge addition
i am kind of glad pyre didn't use VA's like transistor and bastion tho
I play 2d platformers, no voiceovers for me :(
@drowsy escarp have you tried Thomas was alone?
No, but my style is difficult precise ones, so voiceovers really don't fit
hey wait a minute
did one of the mods (accidentally) move the #bastion channel over the #transistor channel?
what do you mean?
The order of the channels used to be
Supergiant
Pyre
Transistor
Bastion
Off-topic
Might have done.
oh.... i never noticed omg
i dont think mods have that power so it may have been an sgg person
(or maybe its always been this way and youre just from an alt universe, spoooookyyyy ~)
(jk)
It wasn't always this way.
What Garr said, but in Rucks' voice
maybe they thought itd be fun and refreshing idk
When everything changes, nothing changes.
I was very moved by Literary Analysis of Transistor. Finally understood what the game was telling.
theres three things ill always miss, though. one, not havin to watch my step all the time. two...when the channels were pyre/transistor/bastion.
when i look up, at where the channels should be, i see transistor at the bottom, and i know you can hear me
I have moved it back! It was a mislick and not representative of anything. anything
on one hand, ive messed around in servers i had channel rights to, and it's really easy to make that mistake
on the other hand... BASTION 2 CONFIRMED
man bastion 2 would be such a short game
nevermind that joke i was gonna make is stupid. Bastion 2 wouldnt be a bad idea if it's done differently than bastion
Just in the same universe per se
of the 3 games, bastion is narratively the least possible to make a direct sequel to, though
it would be silly in all the games, for sure
I thought that yes, but then it's like
The only way you could do that is telling it from some other perspective
bastion 2? you mean, playing bastion again?
Someone else that we didn't see
Yes, bastion 2, also known as hitting yourself over the head to the point of amnesia and playing bastion again
perfect
I wonder how it'd feel
idk.....i forget 
bastion 0, you play as zia, and you just sing for a while until some guy finds you
You're suddenly in your room, you don't remember anything from your life. The only thing you see is a locked door, a dented wall, a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor that's a title screen. "Bastion" with a sticky note right next to it that says "2"
Pfff
A monitor that shows a title screen rather
the sticky note is there during the whole game, obscuring the screen
obviously
it's actually glued in the middle of one of the LCD layers
so it's inside the monitor
but the glue isn't very good, so it very slowly slides downwards, leaving a trail of glue residue
and dead pixels
haven't played Bastion in forever, never tried Transistor besides the soundtrack. Have been on an indie game jam on the Switch, and am looking forward to the release. Do we know if there are any plans to get Pyre into it as well? I would assume it's been asked a million times
I have this small hope that it not being announced yet means they are spending time enabling same-console multiplayer
Accidentally moving a channel is valid and understandable, it can happen to anyone
Do any of you know if custom engines or others are used for Supergiant’s games?
iirc it’s a custom engine but i might be wrong
you could check the compact Q&A doc
Yup, custom engine, as per the “Is Pyre coming to the Switch?” answer.
Thanks, @frigid agate!
video games
Do we know if there’ll be more Q&A sessions here? Or were those more of a summer thing?
i think there may, depending on everyone's availability and workload! if another is incoming, it should be announced in #announcements before it happens!
Neato
Everyone just got back from PAX so I think they're pretty wiped out right now
Hey, late response from me re: Q&As! Them taking a week off isn't PAX related, we just didn't plan for more than the initial four. We'll be talking about it this week.
If it's something you'd like to see us keep doing or have any other feedback on the format and so on it'd be a good time to share that, probably in #server-suggestions! We'd like to keep trying different stuff in here as we haven't been using Discord for very long as a team and it has a lot of potential.
When possible would like another crack at the art team, that was the first one when the questions were unexpectedly cut off
what time does Bastion launch on the Switch today? 12 Eastern?
Now
i support a second art team q&a
@echo pilot It should be out right now! Launched just minutes ago.
Yay Bastion
conbastulations 
sweet!
Buying tonight! 😊
Yup, just bought the game, I didn't even see the price lol
I'm so ready to beat this game again guys
Not rich enough to allow myself a Switch. 
On well.
Transistor is going to be 20 USD on launch right?
@fleet bolt that's right! $19.99 when it's available on the Nintendo eShop.
Y'all I have this bug rn where every text message and discord message I get makes the "bastion on switch" message pop up over it
I think my phones trying to tell me something
(holy crap)
Hello my name is Akul and Im a compuslive shopper https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/79681626061148160/491344556835471381/chrome_2018-09-17_22-25-57.png
send help
fall wardrobe
But, Akul... how could I possibly take umbrage with such sartorial choices?
look these are all responsible financial decisions
i wear my pyre shirt all the time tbh
sartorial, every day you learn something new
TBH if international shipping wasn't $35, I'd order more merch.
Like, the new Transistor Beach T-shirt is really great, but the shipping is almost twice the cost of the thing
You might be able to split the shipping cost with friends?
That's what I did the last time when I got my Pyre t-shirt. Just can't find a friend interested in that new shirt this time.
Splitting cost with friends oh that's a good one 😞
I'd be willing to order shirts for someone then ship it to them, long as I got paid for the shirt
@dry shale Uhh I'm not entirely sure how you mean it, but it doesn't make too much sense.
I bought a shirt three sizes too small entirely to dismantle and attach to the back of a vest and I do not regret it
I suppose that's one way to produce your own SGG merch without breaking copyright
probably might be fine to make stuff as long as you don't sell it, right?
Must be.
Just got a PS4, planning on getting Pyre as my first game
Because it’s about time I got around to it
Gonna take a couple days for it to ship though
good first game choice 
Well I was making a metal style battle vest, what with the patches and whatnot, but for video games
And the Black Magic print/Shirt had just dropped around that time so I was like yes, this is a perfect mash of the two concepts
I just remembered that the limited run bastion physical copies should be shipping within the next couple weeks and I am hype 
So Transistor has less in-your-face lore than Bastion does yes.
But I still feel like there’s plot gaps.
in transistor or in bastion?
seems like a trademark of supergiant that the lore isn't complete, with loose ends left untied
once you stop trying to understand the lore, you can begin enjoying it
psspssst just reminder that if ur gonna get into spoilers move to transistor channrl pls!
ok carry on
I like that some of the lore and background isn't told
Because Red or Rucks wouldn't know everything about the place or time
It makes it feel like you're being told a story by someone who was there
I mean... Rucks is literally telling you the story of what happened
yeah but he's an unreliable narrator. he's not omniscient or anything like that
I trust him to tell it like it was
What things does he say that you think weren't quite true?
its not anything that he said, its just that everything that he says comes from his pov
Rucks could tell me to murder my family if he said it in that silky smooth voice
Soylent Green is people and Supergiant games are MADE by people so something is confirmed!
you've hacked Jen's process gkjdf
He’s cracked the code
Yellow, red and blue are all Super Saiyan hair colors and green isn't... yet
Supergiant Green is PEOPLE from all the other supergiants
It’s about a lovable cast of Processed Gasfellas, competing for freedom from the Downside
It has all three narrators too
logan cunningham talks over himself
logan^3
Jen obviously took over and the next game is about gardening, that's why it's green.
Been looking at Supergiant stuff on tumblr. Slightly amused by all the posts I keep getting about the kind of star.
Just to clarify for the Transistor Pre-Order over in #announcements - it looks like the Pre-Order won't be active in Europe, Australia, or New Zealand until October 1st!
First 20$ preorder ive seen in years

Yeah it should take time for it to be sent to everyone
Alright thanks
John, after another long day at work, came to the bar. He ordered a strong drink, as usual. He needed something to flush the tears with. He took a photo out of his pocket and gazed into it. Other people ignored him – they were used to him sitting there like that for hours.
After a few minutes John suddenly heard a familiar voice. 'Everything alright?' asked Michael, John's coworker, 'What are you looking at?' Michael gently pulled the photo out of John's hands and looked at it. It was an old family photograph, at least twenty years old. He looked at the father and recognized John, though at the time he must have been much younger. 'Is that your family? What happened to them?' asked Michael in surprise. He had never heard of John's family. 'Nothing. I just haven't seen them ever since I moved to the U.S. I think my wife doesn't want to see me anymore,' replied John. 'Why?' wondered Michael. 'It was a long time ago. She wasn't happy that I decided to abandon her and the kids.' John's eyes started to fill with tears. 'But why did you do that? It must have been something serious,' asked Michael. He couldn't stop his curiosity.
'You know, I just wanted to win that sweet hammer.'
lmao wow
hhhhh
Freeze frame on John's green eyes
Oh uh also the hammer is made out of a vegetable so it's green
It's a kale hammer
🍀 
If the next SG game ends up having a green-oriented design we would just wonder if it really was planned beforehand or if it was because of the community's observation 
ooooh....black abd white contrast
I remember actually looking at some concept sketches on Jen's twitter which were black-and-white. Looked pretty cool
Though maybe that's less because of black & white, and more because it's Jen
The black and white idea makes me imagine a space game 👀
If space game, shax six shoulders cameo
He doesn't deserve one
How could he not?
😜 🤳 🤳 🤳 🤳 🤳 🤳
This is him taking a selfie flexing on the haters
i....want to pin that so bad
well you know what they say about forgiveness vs permission
Hey, just found out about this server. Long time fan of Supergiant, never actually beat a game before, because the thematic resonance in your interactive narratives was so strong that it made me realize I had issues to sort out. Six years later, I have, and I'm finally finishing things up, starting with Transistor!
shax six selfie .....
So THANK YOU
You're doing with video games what I've always told people that they could.
Now if only I could get other people to figure that out....aside from the therapists that stopped making appointments ahahahahaha
when video games replace therapy
(p.s. I'm an illustrator and a college student and a lurker by nature so my apologies if I'm not too chatty at first. New servers can be overwhelming, but feel free to DM me or @ me!)
(p.p.s. beware of bad dad jokes)
If you're an illustrator, you'll be interested in #fan-works !
And get cracking on beating those games! They're all so worth it to see through to the end!
I'm seriously hoping that Transistor has multiple playthroughs integrated into the metanarrative, but nospoils
Because honestly I have an inkling all of said games do
but iterative playthroughs unlocking extra story secrets is something I've been a huge fan of since Boktai on the GBA
which, by the way, The Kid and Django REALLY look like they have similar aesthetic influences.
that's what initially drew me to Bastion
if you're looking to avoid spoilers, don't go into a game's channel until you've beaten it

Oh, and I'd love to pick the brain of the Illustrator and Sound Engineers someday.
This is going to be at least 5 years from now, but I'm slow-cooking my own stories to eventually make into games once I have the capital and the time.
Ha. I say I'm not chatty and then I go full extrovert.
there's q&a's here and there
If you're going to go back over the #ask-supergiant stuff, beware of spoilers
All in due time. Thanks for the warnings. I think this has been a lovely introductory conversation, haha
Now then, I've got a game to beat and a college application to finalize. Can't work in Japan without a BA!
i mean, you could
whoaa, good luck with that!!
yeah Icould but I like doing things legally
too many people don't, that's one of the reasons I'm dipping out for a few years. but enough about that.
I know for a fact I could work in English Instruction and really enjoy it
@trim vortex workaround: you use your illustration skills to do Supergiant marketing art freelance 😉
or like, join the sgg fansub club
We’re seeking a talented artist to work with us on a temporary basis to create marketing art materials. The ideal candidate is a proficient graphic designer with video editing experience and good...
k i guess I'll just put this here
im HHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭 😭 😭 😭 KNOWING I DONT HAVE THE EDITING SKILLS
...WAIT I COULD DO THIS JOB
the word "artist" mocks me...makes it look like something i can DO,
I love the king of hotdogs
AHAHAHA
@velvet tide I believe in you
omg Blake and Serana have such a good dynamic
👀 ❗ ❗
I can't touch that project for years, though.
it's WAAAYY down the planned production pipeline for the extended canonverse
morgan is this like "you should apply for the job" believe in me or "you could probably learn how photoshop and video editing work" believe in me
Both?
👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀
AfterEffects and Premiere were one of my training projects this year
I used Nier Automata to record the footage
and Audacity to edit the sound
btw im looking thru ur art lunasteel, love ur coloring!!
it's mostly just the worst webseries ever made tho
thank you!
My mentor is....very strict
That is the NICE way of putting it.
aahhaha
If I don't do my very best, he makes me go train for months before he lets me look for work again
I just finished Taiyou Training '18
Which was just as bad as Winter Heltraining '17
shudders
but it really made me grow and learn because I didn't let the pressure break me.
I had to beg JerkDouglas (twitter = @ Welflare) to train me for NINE YEARS before he actually did.
Most people say it seems like a martial arts dojo and they're honestly not wrong.
train for what, illustration?
Well, it's a good complement to the burnt yellow
you solved it!
it's technically Chartreuse
I'd totally apply except that I can't edit video
but color names are kinda calvinball rules lol
🤝 😭
I’ve made commercials in psychology class but I don’t think I’m talented enough to apply 😂
i apply with the john mulaney skrtch pyre video i made in imovie as my resume
and here I thought those stupid Nier 🅱ideos would never be useful as anything other than journaling
stupid videos are always incredibly important

the only reason I started was because a buddy of mine was trying to get me work in Image Compositing using a software called NUKE
over the course of about....ehhh......i dunno, 8 months, I used all my Nier:A gametime to make stock footage to then edit
I tried to have every "episode" focus on increasing my skillcap in using premiere
and some of the footage was actually composited together using NUKE, which according to my friend in Image Comp, was "Ian how did you do that in NUKE, I didn't know it could even export video...wait, WHY did you do that in Nuke?!" answer: to see if I could

anyway I've clogged up the messageboards enough for the moment, I'll be around! 🤘🏻
later!! 👋

Awesome!
got the blast
what's the like, laziest possible sg costume i could assemble
probly the transistor characters, some of them wear some real generic clothes
Boxer?
Either Royce (Just a tux and the hair) or the Reader (Cape/robe thingy with star & hood)
And the Camerata Pin I guess
But that's not really the spirit is it?
i was thinking the obscure transistor characters
Hyped to be a subscriber! 🤩
wave tennegan is just a cozy winter suit and maybe a fake nose
hhhhh i wana cosplay the reader so bad
you are already cosplaying the reader
or tbh i just wanna own a raiment. like JUST IN CASE i ever find myself under some aligning stars.
headcanon that boxer and reader look the same
....boxer...was you all along
He read Red's songs before she was done and she exiled him for it
Should've known not to interrupt the Creative Process (TM)
pyre chars would probably be hard to cosplay because the art style is so out there
the hammer contest is open to US citizens only... as a Canadian this makes me a sad
hopefully canada gets annexed in the next month so that you'll be eligible
no thanks, I like my healthcare too much
pros: healthcare
cons: no cool hammer
Lmao
I'll just make my own hammer then, and I can smash stuff with it
fair!!!!!
someone make a hammer you can do a giveaway for everywhere but the us with
3D print one and post it in Fan-Works
that might be an idea... my local library has a free 3D printer after all
yea, that's the catch
I hope to win the hammer but I’m never lucky with this type of stuff 😅 good luck to everyone else in the US
reading the legalese, I have no idea how sgg plans to determine whether someone is in the US or not
they probably ask for an address when drawing a winner, and if the winner is outside of the US they just do a re-draw
(if you know someone in the US you trust, give sgg their address instead, and arrange for the rest of the hammer journey)
that... actually would work
because it's easy to get a PO box in the US if you're close to the border... not that I would know
👀
PO box is another option, but since I've never gotten one I don't know what the application is like
powermove: unbox the hammer inside the post office, walk out while wielding it
also powermove: discussing ways to cheat the rules while inside their server
no no the post office clerk holds the hammer and u have to defeat them
inb4 all these methods get you an automatic disqualification now
i wouldn't have said it if they would have been able to tell
good thing nobody knows my real name on here so I can't be caught
hey, what's your real name?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
i think they'd need your email address, actually
Ajduccbsx
@abstract carbon can someone who lives outside the us use a PO box to get the prize?
oop too late
(michael voice) no and youre going to jail for even suggesting it
I wouldn’t mind lending my address to someone outside the US who won but there has to be a lot of trust
YEAH PLEASE DONT GIVE UR HOME ADDRESS TO STRANGERS
Real 😤 not looking to get robbed
theyll know your home adress, and theyll have a huge hammer
😱
But the hammer is for display, not for destructive smashing 🤔
Legally, they have to say that
At least that's what is written in FAQ
But really...
if i get it, I'm definitely gonna reinforce it so i can swing it around








i dont think someone bold enough to rob your house using a decorative hammer is gonna listen to the faq
maybe ill put some weights in it so i can hammer in nails
youre gonna build that wall huh
Fair point
I'll dig my hole
Build it strong
I set my sail
Gon' build that city on a hill?
Yas
Now I'm listening to it
But some day those tears are gonna spill
You all made me
well, time to enact my plan to infiltrate Supergiant and change the rules from inside
you sign right up, i give a prize...
you sign right up i give a prize....
this hammer in front of your eyes 🎵
well they are hiring...
YEAH, they want a marketing artist! hope you know photoshop and video editing very well
A MARKETING ARTIST? THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT I AM
Wait, how did you know about the hammer but not the new job? They're right next to eachother!
Go forth in glory, oh jayandsilentb0b
the hammer is distracting, cmon,
They say it can be done remotely too, so you don't have to move to the States!
omg......GET THAT JOB 😤
filling out the appliction email now
I'm still listening to Build that Wall
Gateless is solid. Everyone loves 5/4 time
water wall best transistor track
Wow 🤩 hope you get it!
Anyway, here's Water Wall?
yeah!
jayandsilentb0b sends the email
their name immediately turns red
I mean, Greg's icon has been green this whole time, I think
He could've been watching this whole scene...
Who knows? 
uwu
greg watch-avin...
gonna be putting together a banging portfolio in the next while to really be impressive
👏 nice!!!!
I'm technically still in skool, but I have enough experience already that I should be fine
here's hoping
😎
if you got friends in US, get it shipped to them and have them ship to you
also re: cosplay, i just remembered i got a goatee
supergiant plz more facial hair characters in game
Grant Kendrell has a solid beard
https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/transistor_gamepedia/5/53/Grant.jpg
Goatee-ish
well, I'm off for the night. have fun y'all
good luck with your job app
thanks 😃
@velvet tide PO Box won't work, sorry to say. It's just eligible to US residents. You could...live in a PO Box?
how do you know kamila isn't already living in a PO box?
Something something PO boxes aren't valid shipping addresses for items over a certain size

yah
if only i could Draw
(avenue Q "what do you do with an ma in social science" plays in the distance)
if only I had the will to draw
Do you get an email saying you won the give away?
The fine print says you have to answer the "you win" email in 5 days
If they need a musician or another game designer I’d be all over that 😩
Also I have not been able to stop thinking about that Hammer™️
hammer 😩
I hope they present it with hammer time playing in the bg 🤔
I really wonder how much the hammer weighs
How does it feel to wield it
It seems the type of optical illusion object that looks extraordinarily heavy and upon picking it up, your brain short circuits and leaves this plane of existence because it was not at all what you expected
I think they said it was made of a type of plastic?
correct me if I'm wrong, but sgg game 4 will release on July 7th, 2020
ok: you're wrong 
cake i dare YOU to release a full videogame on july 7 2020
aw, now i gotta put it in my calendar
Make a flappy bird clone
but with handdrawn assets from scratch
and original music
also you need to hire logan cunningham to play flappy bird
it'll be the bird from bastion
Flappy pecker
can we pin Cake's idea for the release date, if it does release then they win at discord
july 7 2020? sounds about right, I have nothing else planed for that day
makes me wonder how they came to the conclusion about the date 🤔
I took the 3 release dates and drew a line of best fit
It depends on many things, but if we simplify things, maybe it would be best to look at the periods inbetween release dates
1035 days between Bastion and Transistor, 1162 days between Transistor and Pyre
If we assume a linear pattern, the next interval would be 1289 days, which places the next release date on the 3rd of February 2021
But then again, that's a lot of assumptions
I wonder how we got different numbers
Anyway, now you have to make a game on the 3rd of Feb 2021
Valid
Oh wait I misread your explanation. Yeah that makes sense
To be honest, I wouldn't assume a linear pattern of the intervals between games because 1. SGG as a team keep growing at an irregular rate 2. They often like trying new things, and they clearly planned Pyre to be more massive than their previous games
I like my numbers better because they seem to try to release midyear
If we had the exact date sgg was founded (sometime in 2009) we could have an extra data point
Given what we know, my best guess would probably be an average between the two intervals we have
So uhhh, that would make the 27th July 2020
which is quite close to yours
Yeah that's roughly how I got my number, I don't remember
And also it's a July release like 2 other sgg games
The struggle is real waiting for the next game
I could wait a hundred years when it comes to SG games
yeah same, I guess I should phrase it like: I would pass away from old age before my patience for SGG's following game release runs out
made me go back and play bastion again
No weapon-crafting is more entertaining than "Man At Arms".
just beat bastion actually
Are super giant games footage copyrighted?
or can i use it when i talk about them?
non-profit project of course
As in gameplay footage
Last Updated July 24, 2018
We often get emails from video content creators asking our permission to create and monetize videos about Bastion and Transistor. We wanted to come up with a clear stance...
that should answer your questions @stable quartz
Thank you
yw ^_^
I'm basically making a video
on how awesome they are
so of course i'll activly link them
I can't beleive i got all these games and their ost's in a sale
Ii even bought pyre again for pc cause it's that good
I woke up thinking about Transistor
🐬
Maybe during the next qa I'll ask how they came up with the frankly silly name "supergiant"
The games aren't even that big
Because of their super giant hearts
im p sure that was asked and answered
we know gavin came up with it
Fairly averaged size games
go to sleep trna wake up trna
Transfer RNA
Just as Hegemon said, I too have always thought their name was based on the star class ^^
I see you're a man of astronomy as well
Considering their logo is a star, it makes sense
Exactly 👆
"Hey now, you're a Supergiant, get your game on..."

Playing through pyre when do I unlock the AK-47
hey please dont post spoilers in the main channel?
HSJDKFKFKGKH KIDDING
you have to beat the game on true nightwing with all titan stars 5 times
and then click on every book on the main menu 3 times
idk what you mean I was replying to Lactose_Cow
the ak 47 is in the switch version. pyre isnt coming to switch just a picture of a gun funded by supergiant
Kickstart it
k......kickstart that supergiant should do something???
kickstart a really good change.org petition to get supergiant to do something
"good morning everyone. people put one million dollars into my hand so i can sit in your office demanding that you make a switch port of a picture of a gun 24/7"
"i will buy you all lunch tho bc i do have one million dollars"
Good pitch
I made this Switch port and all I got were these lousy gutter crabs
better than silt porridge
gutter crabs crowd around one nintendo switch that they all share
covered in claw marks
Smash 5 is for gutter crabs really
nintendo click click click (claw noises)
make gutter crabs playable in smash 5

Yesss, that's always so good!
All it wound up doing was making me ponder how different SGG's characters would be in a Dagnabitrabbit game
Hahaha, thank you! Gotta hunt those suckers down. 
@true shadow HMM
Dare you tamper with forbidden knowledge?
i dare

I've got a flight joystick I could learn pyre on
im playing bastion with a wacom tablet rn and its amazing
that IS amazing. too powerful...
hurts my hand to do the mouse click too much so i do most games w tablet instead fgjhgjkgjk its just easier...
An absolute madman
it may still be the time I should be asleep but I gotta still throw out the commentary ;p
please go to sleep...get ur rest
It's already been five of my hours, toooootally fine! I-I'm on my way
Anyone have a wallpaper collection of SGG titles? 👀
Inonly have 2 wallpapers that i use for my pc snd phone
Can'y post
I'll just pm it
Wasn't there those postcards that they released the art for? Those might be wallpaper shaped
They are nice wallpapers can confirm
Especially the versions without text
Pretty sure they have some wallpapers for download on their site
if anyone has Pyre phone backgrounds that would be much appreciated
what is that
its zulf yelling NO
what made him so upset?

Ah ok
i'm yellow baybeee
seems like last color matters
Nice
there is a fix hierarchy of colors and not all games is the strongest 😄
I cant tell the djfference between transistor and bastion
Transistor role needs more green, imo.
Needs to be that very specific circuit-board green.
More a brown if anything.
Like blue so betrayed Pyre for Transistor
Also shoutouts to booby with the Rohan avi
and now I'm yellow 😄
I'm glad to see that it worked. 🎉
It looks good!
Still a shame nickname changing isn't a thing on this server.
Would love to shorten my nickname here to my usual "FoSP" tag.
At least, colour-blind people can't tell Bastion from Supergiants
