Video games are interactive TV, movies, and music. Damn straight you did literary analysis on them.
gloomy sequoia
It's so rare that games get to appear in literary analysis so I just had to use it
Plus the writing is incredible so it makes it easier for me!
gloomy sequoia
I just forgot to write up the bibliography... how do you reference a game
gloomy sequoia
oh no, as in harvard style bibliography reference
gleaming tapir
probably something like
Title, Studio, Director, Year?
or, somehting similar to how a movie is referenced

google probably has an answer

Hey. Hey.
Transistor/Hades AU/crossover with Red as a mortal fighting her way into hell to retrieve her murdered lover's soul.

Eurydice keeps Red company and feeds her everything while they wait.

All the yes

The sheer power of a Red/Eurydice duet about losing a lover who tried to save them would be too much I think.
"Left Behind" is the only title I can think of, and Oof.

All that early 20th century elegance
Mashed up with cyberpunk tropes

It's a style as distinctive in its way as Art Deco was 🤣
Very busy, hyperdetailed, a bit grotesque, with extremely saturated colors and a lot of red and orange and green and brown.
Lots of dynamic motion, and a wild kitchen-sink approach to design. Talking dogs and beautiful harpies and giant horned demons and people in big swirly capes? Would have fit right in on the side of a psychedelic van.
(Their main departure from the style was making it more diverse and less sexualized, which I 100% support.)
(At least half the cast would have been wearing a lot less clothes, if Jen had stuck strictly to the classic style)

Dont let tizo down
latent badger
Re: the discussion in #pyre, but more about Bastion: It's one thing I love is the Vague and Evocative feel of SGG worlds. Like all they need to say is that this plant is called a Stabweed, and I know everything I need to about it.
formal geyser
its a weed that is sharp
And stabsinthe
made of stabweed
thats all thats needed to be said
latent badger
It's what I aspire to as a DM
Just enough information that the players know how the characters feel, but not so much that it feels like a lore dump. The characters know what stabweeds are, no need to explain.
formal geyser
its all in the presentation
oh, the plant is named stabweed
lets stay away from that
oh, the thing is named unfathamed plurnes, rather not fathom it then
latent badger
"Kid pops every stabweed like there's gonna be some sort of a prize" made me feel so seen, and validated, because that was my prize 😛
formal geyser
the narration is so good
latent badger
Like the moment I took out my first Gasfella and started breaking stuff and you hear Rucks go "Kid just rages for a while." I was just like. Oh... They're WATCHING me.
gleaming tapir
yeah Bastion is a little being in a solo ttrpg, with the GM gently sassing you the whole time XD
latent badger
Whereas Pyre is being in a party based RPG where the DM Berates you.
rain trellis
love the change of narration for the tazal terminals tho :3
rain trellis
like it was very cool

Bastion: Dm watches sassily
Transistor: Your the dms special little baby and he loves you

If Hades was my first game of its genre and my first Supergiant game, which of their games should I try next? :)
rain trellis
bastion is the closest in combat
transistor is my personal fav so i def reccomend it
and pyre i haevnt played but ive heard is much more of a narrative
quick bluff
they're all worth playing, and all have at least one element in common with hades. bastion's gamepley closely resembles that of hades, while the narrative/dislogue system of hades is based on that of pyre
formal geyser
Bastion) If you liked hades combat (keep in mind it's a bit slower)
Transistor) If you liked Hades music and lore
Pyre) If you liked Hades dialogue and the fast paced action sequences
rain trellis
bastion has the weapons, transistor has the boons you could say, and pyre has the trinkets if we gonna go into specifics

Thanks ^_^ I'm definitely planning on playing them all eventually. Just wanted to know which to prioritize first :D
Maybe I'll start with Bastion then!

there's no wrong choice 💕

Oh, I know, I have over 200 hours in 😛

It's what inspired me to get Transistor and Pyre
I'm decent? I think?
Better at Hades than Pyre, FOR SURE
formal geyser
Oh Pyre, so fluid
Pyre is so good
And the best way to improve is to play against other humans
Because I never got past ||lib rite 1 || yet I can still beat the TN yslach ai (sometimes)
latent badger
Yeah, I definitely get that. I haven't played any PVP yet.
rain trellis
All I wish is pvp transistor (minus the 1 shot kill ability)
lmao
honestly the final boss opened to that opp ngl
latent badger
PVP Transistor would be fun, and ||they have mechanics for it yeah||
formal geyser
Oh yeah ||the final fight|| but you control ||royce|| would be sick
And Ive asked before, its just not possible with a mod really
latent badger
Yeah, The backend for Multiplayer games is way more complex than it seems at first. But I would LOVE to see a Transistor 2 that takes place after the events of the game, maybe in a different city, that incorporates some of the party-building aspects of Pyre... Imagine 2 Camerata-like teams coming into conflict and having the 3v3 but with Turn()?
formal geyser
YES YES YES YES YES YES
rain trellis
after the events lol
like
||im pretty sure the process just kills everything and i mean everything||
latent badger
Maybe let's not discuss spoilers.
formal geyser
It is technically possible to do a turn like thing with pyre like the wyrms salute but dont freeze the saluter but it wouldnt be very easy to do the turn juice bar mechanic
or next to impossible
latent badger
I'm sure there can be a way of building it over time like an Ult meter when taking/dealing damage like the Calls in Hades.
formal geyser
yeah, but no way to display trsut me ive checked
latent badger
Fair.
formal geyser
i could do somethign like 1 turn a round that lasts for 1 sec or something
latent badger
I'm not saying it would be an EASY challenge by any means
latent badger
I want to play around in SGG studios for a few days just so I can see what that would be like.
formal geyser
oh my that would be great
latent badger
Like, What if the Kid from Bastion had a Party and a Turn Mechanic while fighting the Hydra?
Can we make that happen?
formal geyser
Timestopping basketball with a white haired kid in the depths of hell? Sign me up
latent badger
Cause like, if you think about it, Transistor had party-based turn combat with the doggos.
formal geyser
true
latent badger
And like, if the turn meter was both at the same time, like you plan your routes, then let them fly? that could be cool
like rolling initiative, planning your turn, then watching it all play out real time?
formal geyser
Also, ive talked about it with the modding community before and time stopping in hades is next to impossible as well
dnd but transitor?
latent badger
Oh yeah, this would likely be done in the Transistor engine yeah
DND but Transistor yes
Because I think that's something that's missing from TTRPGs
You have the inititave system, but everyone gets to examine the battlefield before they go
This would be like at the top of the round, everyone picks their actions and targets, locks it in, then the round plays out, repeat.
formal geyser
i see a lot of missing in the game
latent badger
Well, for AOE things, yeah
But for targeted spells, the targeting would track the characters movements
latent badger
But if you wanna drop a fireball, you need to hope it's in the right spot.
Which adds complexity and complications to like wizards

sound a bit like the banner saga
latent badger
because you don'tr know where your party will be

Not familiar with the Banner saga

it's a trilogy of games. it's a little like pyre in that it's a visual novel with gameplay/combat sprinklied in, but in the case of the banner saga, the combat is more strategy based, with a grid layout and turn-based mechanics. it's really good! i'm in the process of replaying 3
it's the closest thing to pyre i know of

Pyre for sheer riotous kitchen-sink eclecticism (everything from thrash metal to harpsichord fugues to folk ballads), Transistor if you want to brood really beautifully while looking out over a rainy cityscape at night, Bastion for all the westernpunk fans out there who love a good snarling harmonica line

- pyre's music is so deeply connected with the characters and the story, and every character's theme represents that character so well. the music probably wouldn't have the same impact if you haven't played the game. but its diversity and complexity also makes it the best of the four in its own right.
- transistor's music is atmospheric (is that the right word? it's got ambience. which also means that, a part from a few notable exceptions, it's not as deeply tied to the story itself (with notable exceptions such as apex beat, impossible, coasting...
- hades's music is....good, but the biome themes are largely forgettable because they're mainly background for battling your way out of the underworld (with notable exceptions such as last words and chaos theme)
- of course, further exceptions to the above two points are anything sung by ashley barret and darren korb
- not sure where to put bastion's music...it seems somewhere between the atmospheric ambience of transistor and the closeness to the story that pyre's soundtrack has
- what impresses me is that all four osts are so different and yet all are Very Good

rancid relic
I think bastion is also atmospheric
I know I could show “spike in a rail” to anyone and they would instantly get the vibe of that area
minor spear
Transistor and Bastion's soundtracks are really atmospheric which is probably why they're my favorites. They transport you into the different worlds found in their respective games (I.e. Mancer's Dilemma makes me feel like i took a swig of Ruck's pipe and am fighting off dream monsters). But we also gotta give credit to how all the vocal tracks are deeply tied into their respective stories as well so that's a thing not limited to Pyre.
rain trellis
i just love the soundtracks, darren did such an amazing job just setting the atmosphere and those vocal tracks are just perfect
minor spear
And yeah Transistor has the best vocal tracks in my opinion 😆

Spike In A Rail is such a jam
ionic violet
AYYY someone else who likes spike in a rail
i think that was the best track bastion had
quick bluff
Spike in a Rail is definitely up there, but may I say: The Sole Regret
latent badger
I have to respectfully disagree with the idea that the Hades BGm is forgettable. Having that meaty bass line in Elysium between rooms and then having everything else ramp up when you get to the next one, is just such a jam, and does such a good job of getting you into the fight. Also, having gone back to Bastion recently, they really nailed the dynamic "music changes as you battle" with Hades. It was there in Bastion, but in Hades, it feels like every track was composed to take exactly as long as your battle, and it's so well done, you hardly notice.
But also... Spike In a Rail is God-Tier.
And The Sole Regret is also amazing, and the perfect name for a Saloon, and having it at the beginning of the story really sets the tone for the rest of the experience.
quick bluff
fair points, and it might just be my own opinion talking: roguelites get repetitive and tiring for me after awhile, and my sense of the music ends up getting affected by that
pyre had those subtle changes in music as well as the "music takes as long as the scene does" characteristic, though in pyre's case, that shows up in the dialogue rather than in the gameplay/rites
neon kayak
Damn, missed the music converstaion while at work.

i don't think the hades ost is less memorable, it just doesn't have as deep of a connection to specific story beats or segments like the other ones do by virtue of being a roguelike
neon kayak
God of the Dead.
It's not like Pyre or Transistor (I think there was an interview where all of the songs are supposed to be Red's?), but it does have its standouts.
formal geyser
Hades ost is like someone said, "We paid 1000e2000 dollars to a DJ to play this genre of music while we have a party but you cant be here to dj" and the music is a bop but it deosnt always adapt to what's happening. Then the other games are, "Ok we paid 1000e2000 dollars for the best DJ and all the best equipment and he can mind read so he knows exactly what's going on and what music fits best"
haughty crane
while that is somewhat true, the Hades track also has an incredibly good adaptive audio system that adjusts to what's happening, even if it doesn't do so right away and can't always do so perfectly
formal geyser
Yeah
The hades music is so good, but the rest just have something super special about them that hades cant seem to capture perfectly
haughty crane
one of the prices paid for a nonlinear game
formal geyser
True true
quick bluff
the repetitive nature of hades does have something to do with the lessened effect of the music. it's not simply that the game repeats: it's that the game repeats over and over in the same way every time. Which does also have the effect of letting some pieces stand out from the rest (such as Last Words, Primordial Chaos, and all of the vocal tracks)
neon kayak
I think there's something to be said for the heavy versions of all the tracks during miniboss and boss fights.
Heavy River of Flame as you're entering the Lernard fight? 👌

In fact I almost did when I read a huge novel to it

I have a question that isn't covered under the lets play policy (https://www.supergiantgames.com/blog/policy-on-lets-play-videos/), the support email I tried to send was automatically blocked and just linked to said policy, and I don't really know how to phrase the question to ask on twitter in 240 characters. Are the devs active enough here to help?
I mainly wanted to ask if it'd be alright to use SGG music for rhythm game customs, some games now in order to post to workshop require artist permission before you're allowed to post it, and while the policy does allow using it as background music in unmonetized streams and the like, it doesn't really cover enough of this specific use for it to be allowed, so I need to ask directly

We can potentially ping Caitlin here during the day, but this should fit on Twitter: @sgg Is it alright to use SGG Music in <rhythm game name> custom levels?
graceful bear
I can wait, I'm not in a hurry. I mainly want direct contact though, as while that would be sufficent, I'd like to get permission properly, since I'd like to be able to answer questions rather than get a non-direct "no"
Some people do consider workshop a paid use, some don't, and there's also stuff like terms that I can include (like don't use soundtrack quality files, don't use certian songs, etc).
also since this is just a good faith agreement and not like a full on contract, I don't want them to think I'm asking to license the music or I'm a dev, et cetera

I know that my true, ultimate love is music, because there have been three moments in my life where I've literally stopped everything else I was doing to listen to the song I was just hearing, and two of the three moments have been Supergiant. Both of them have been hearing Ashley's solo songs in Bastion and Hades.

One small thing I always appreciate SGG for is how they take the extra mile with everything they do, some of the examples is the song "She Shines" released with the Apple TV version of Transistor which is just beautiful and has that atmospheric feel that Transistor fans know and absolutely love, Hades CS:GO Music, and now the small full-color Character Compendium booklet which I really want to get my hands on just for the beautiful art that it shows

Has there ever been any update on bringing anything to google play store
There's no word of anything, no. Essentially the official stance to porting their games to other platforms is just that they'll consider future opportunities
azure prawn
You can play Bastion and Transistor on mobile via Apple Store.
But, no, there are no Android releases of these games.
Work on iPhone and iPad, Transistor additionally works on Apple TV.
pseudo prism
theres this post from 2015: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/3sj4tr/no_supergiant_games_on_android_in_the_near_future/
Now that Transistor too has been launched on iOS, I got the envies and decided to reach out to the developers to put my mind at ease. Unfortunately, this is what Michael had to say:
"At the moment, we don't have any plans to bring Transistor or Bastion to Android, though we certainly haven't ruled anything out for the future. As you know, we're a small team, so any decision we make that involves bringing our games to a new platform is not taken lightly. It's a time-intensive and costly process that gates our ability to work on new content, so we always have to be mindful of that. If our plans change, however, we'll definitely share the news via our official site and our @ SupergiantGames Twitter feed, so keep an eye out. Thanks for your understanding and support."
This was kind of expected, really, there hasn't been even a tease of a possible port. Let's just hope their next game does so well that they can revisit their older titles!

bastion could be good, hades has combat similar to bastion's, albeit bastion is slower

Hades is absolutely the culmination of the Supergiant experience

Im sorry to ask this, but since I just beat hades a couple of times... Will there be any dlc? Or maybe even a sequel?
rain trellis
there will most likely not be any DLC, Hades is the biggest game SGG has released and they're probably burnt out on it- but also adding something would be difficult due to it most likely breaking the storyline- think of it like a finished puzzle that you can't add pieces to without cutting the already-placed pieces.
just the implications of any big dlc or a sequel wouldnt make much sense :/
gleaming tapir
there were a lot of patches in the beta version as stuff was added, in my mind that was the "DLC", it was all just worked out before the final release 😛

sgg hasn't added DLCs or sequels to their games, and hades is their biggest one to date

just nothing big

a lot of the people i interact with really like transistor
it's turn based but also not turn based if that makes sense. you can move whenever and however but you have a timer until you can attack again.
it's kinda slow in my imo but i've only played about 2 hours

proud fractal
okay here i'll try to explain again
there is a low point of quality that must of course be reached for the game to be fun, but between a low quality and a high quality game isn't much of a difference to me, for me it's just "yeah i'll keep playing it" or "eh", even if i really enjoyed it i'll probably forget it sooner than later, i'm not really enthusiastic about things i do

While I didn't like Hades' soundtrack as much, the other three wreck me
Thats not to say Hades' is bad! It just didn't hit my alley as amazingly well as the others did
Transistor and Pyre are games that hit my aesthetic 100% and it kinda scares me
formal geyser
Pyre ❤️🎵
rare flume
While I didn't like Hades' soundtrack *as* much, the other three wreck me
Felt kinda the same. Hades' is great when playing but listening to it when working is a bit distracting with all the intensity. Whereas Bastion and Pyre do both
plush anvil
The Pyre battle themes do a good job of being intense but not as much as Hades'
rare flume
Since the tracks have all the variants with all the intensities, most songs get distracting at some point. Unlike in the other two (haven't played Transistor)
Just finished Pyre, still have to comb through the OST to find out the names of the ones I like 😖

At some point something clicked in my mind and I was like Oh.
Don't remember when exactly that was but then again my comprehension sucks because I also completely misunderstood what Royce was telling me until I saw him charge at me
I foresaw nothing in the other games, also

who cares about the ||war criminal|| thing, rucks is one too >:3
and everyone likes rucks
i think

For all ||Rucks' sins in being a Mancer and complicit in the development in the Calamity, he still was opposed to actually using it.||
Tam ||would have gleefully smashed the button over and over.||

||Basiaally einstein then? He helped develop the nuke and how it worked, one of the less g kinds but he was a massive pacifist||
neon kayak
Slightly more involved than that.

To my knowledge, Einstein didn't actually work on the A-bomb projects, they just used his proofs and theorems.
formal geyser
Oh really? I thought he did. My mistake then
neon kayak
You know what, lemme Google this real quick.
formal geyser
Yeah yourright, his proofs helped but he never actually worked on it
neon kayak
Beat me to it.
formal geyser
Alright so kinda like a more involved einstein then
Didnt want it used, but still helped the development
neon kayak
Anyway, equating Rucks and Tamitha is still somewhat fallacious.
formal geyser
Yes

Bastion: “Build that wall”, because it’s gets stuck in my head every time and I don’t mind.
Transistor: “We All Become”, because it’s the song that originally got me hooked on SGG (“Paper Boats” is an extremely close second)
Pyre: “Vagrant Song”, because it makes me feel cozy
Hades: “Good Riddance”, TW ||CV19 has forced me to think through some heavy stuff... this song helped me make some peace with the enviability of dying and the growing distance between me and my birth family.||
I kinda want to edit a vid with all the other star crossed couples and set it to “Paper Boats”.
plush anvil
One thing I'll never get enough of is Bastion and Pyre being nice to me when I fail
I'm a very anxious person and that was a pleasant surprise
short tundra
pyre's thing of "you always progress and you can learn from failure" was really interesting to me because i don't think I've seen another game do that, and it's also very true to life. and i liked bastion's no death mode because it makes accessible to people who struggle with playing video games (me) but also for people who may have difficulty playing due to things like trouble with fine motor skills who can't play as well as people who don't
ionic violet
Fav song of each game?
The Pantheon, Sandbox, Surviving Exile, The Bloodless
really easy actually
(but the fact that Paper Boats and Bound Together are illegally good is just. the holy truth)
I think BT is my favorite ending song because it was wholesome and not a gut punch to me
like when i was playing it hit, but when i listen to it nowadays all i get is the nice warm fuzzies
rare flume
The Pantheon, Sandbox, Surviving Exile, The Bloodless
really easy actually
Come to think of it, Logan doesn't feature on Pyre and Hades tracks I think. Not sure about Transistor. But he does in Bastion's like The Pantheon
Surviving Exile
Has a gorg Persona 3 feel
quick bluff
the sole regret, hummed old friends, the herald, and on the coast. that doesn’t include the songs with lyrics, though, which are in their own category
these are the songs that just release all the tension
rare flume
The Sole Regret feels more like ambience as you walk through deserted biomes
On The Coast is great tho. Just misses Zag's voice a bit
ionic violet
On the Coast is perfect the way it is honestly
I wouldn't say it's a favorite of mine cause I like to call the tracks I can listen to forever my favorites and this is the polar opposite of that
But it deserves some kinda honorable mention, cause it, combined with the visuals (and even gameplay to some extent), captures the feeling I really really missed in my games
Like that right there was the 'okay this is my GOAT' moment
||and then in the blood was quite disappointing compared to that moment but that's clearly just me||

On The Coast could work as bg music for chilling in your IRL house IMO

YES. I meant Zag expressing his wonder which is also your wonder. But the sun...set? rise? is golden
ionic violet
Hmmm
It's like?? Partly wonder???
But it's just also this relief and pride and awe and a lot
A lot of good
That just melts into something incredible shared by the character and player

I'm a sucker for Spike In A Rail, it gets me bobbing my head every time it comes on shuffle
When they barreled into a full orchestral arrangement of it on the Abbey Road album, I just about lost my mind 🥰
and I love the warm, friendly feeling of Strange Voyage
quick bluff
spike in a rail and brusher patrol: a real “it’s go time” song
agree on strange voyage! bobbing along in the sea with calm, happy music

I mean, I'm a coastal/island girl so I'm biased
My parents have a place right on the rocky Puget Sound beach and I took my dad's skiff out yesterday in the sunny weather, rowed a mile and change south against the wind and fighting the current the whole way, then shipped the oars and kicked back with my feet up and let the waves take me home again
All I had to do was occasionally sit up and make sure I wasn't drifting out too far or close to shore, and watch the clouds
So I'm a sucker for that peaceful bobbing with the waves aesthetic, for sure 😅

It was a bit of a tangent, you're right. 😅
I'll take it to general discussion next time, my bad.

nah tobu you're good i just saw that you sent that message that day and no messages were before it in that day, so i thought it was dissociated from the previous convo.

The folks at Supergiant Games really like to make barges, don't they?
rain trellis
:o
truuueeeee
like bastion had that one on the mission where you meet zia, its been a while since ive played transistor but im sure that has one too, pyre has that one map, and hades has the one in asphodel
formal geyser
the pyre barge is cursed
pliant shuttle
I think there's a boat you ride on in transistor, like the sequence with the bike earlier
quick bluff
none for transistor, but does the elevator count as the next closest thing?
i mean, there’s a speedboat too

there is the weird little Process raft/cloud, does that count? XD

Tossing this in here, too, for general perusal in case people who've played the game don't regularly check the #pyre channel:

how many hours does the game take to finish
wild patrol
took me about 80 hours. howlongtobeat.com says 25 hours. i've heard some say 8. i've also heard 40.
it's a mixed bag.
wild patrol
no problem

took me about 80 hours. howlongtobeat.com says 25 hours. i've heard some say 8. ...
I feel like this might be some people reporting based on first clear vs story completion
pliant shuttle
yeah 8 hours for full story completion seems a bit unreal
analog dagger
thanks so much m8
it may take 20 hours to achieve the main ending, then 50 more to achieve the epilogue ending, then 20-30 more hours to almost 100% everything
keep it up! itll be more fun the longer you go and the more things you dicsover

Vinyl preorders being delayed 9 months is a great april fools joke, haha right... ? 😦
proud fractal
i believe i heard something about this before from someone else, a mod i think, about how everything from the distributor or something has had everything delayed and that SGG isn't the one who's responsible, or something? i can't recall the details, sorry
late finch
yeah I'm not angry at SGG, just bummed. It'll get here when it gets here
night salmon
Everything's delayed right now, to be honest. Doesn't make sense to get mad at them for something outside of their control.
There's still a pandemic on, and the giant ship plugging up the Suez Canal for several days can't have helped the state of global shipping.

Hey, me again. A while ago I asked about contacting the folks at Supergiant. Tried their website which directed me to a 'contact-us' option which was more for technical support.
How could I get in touch with the studio unobtrusively?

That link does have non-technical support options, such as business inquiries, feedback, or media inquiries

My inquiry doesn't fall as neatly into those categories. Although there may be some overlap with media inquiries..? I could give it another shot. Thank you for replying @haughty crane

Sure thing! Best of luck
