What's up? It's not everyday that my dearest Schpoony needs me for something Aphroditesymbol

neon kayak
#

You've played all four SGG games, right?

dusty ocean
#

Uh... I have a confession to make...
I've played all of them save for Bastion (which is there staring back at me in my library)

neon kayak
#

Oh.

dusty ocean
#

That "Oh" hurts more than a bullet.

neon kayak
#

Look, at least you didn't agree to a very explicit romantic date with me and then immediately in the aftermath say "Hey, sorry I didn't say this before lunch but I'm a [redacted] coward and this entire thing was just a ploy to get to know you better, thanks for lunch, byyye!"

wild patrol
#

am i missing something?

neon kayak
#

I'm bring personal shenanigans into Discord where they most certainly don't belong, don't mind me.

#

Anyway.

#

Peach, once you've played through Bastion you should get back to me.

#

i thought i was missing some schpoon/peach lore.

#

Looking for help on building a Supergiant Games Power Hour.

wild patrol
#

Oh yeah you brought that up a while back.

#

I know Honk() has played all of them.

#

Look, the emotional impact of the songs in their original context is very important to me.

I want a very explicit romantic dat-

#

I can't in good conscience lead this thing with In Case Of Trouble if it doesn't hit right.

dusty ocean
#

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, if playing Bastion is what it takes, so be it SmirkPeak

wild patrol
#

I like bastion but there was a difficulty spike that caused me to fizzle out. need to start playing again. but hey, Peach, if you can play ff14 for 17 hours you can beat bastion in a day.

dusty ocean
#

I'm very interested in knowing what a Supergiant Games Power Hour entails.

dusty ocean
#

You carry that link with you everywhere?

wild patrol
#

nah just had it handy here.

#

thought you would ask.

#

i like being helpful ;)

#

You've done the deed, 2D.

dusty ocean
#

Update: I'm in.

fresh rain
#

and Peach is in

dusty ocean
#

Just gotta play this sweet relic and banne

neon kayak
#

Yessssssssss, the Banne Hammer in its original form.

fresh rain
#

Warning: the Peach have infiltrated the facility

neon kayak
#

I wish Doom Eternal had been better.

#

Still haven't played past the first level, but everything I've seen has proven it to be a better theoretical mechanical experience while failing in every way to actually follow through on that.

#

The worse-than-the-Star-Wars-prequels writing really ruins it for me.

fresh rain
#

Oh yeah, the micromanagement of the resources (ammo, hp and armor) is sometimes a bit meh

#

and as a guy who doesn't play that much FPS games, DOOM Eternal was a bit difficult for me

weary drum
#

make a hades sequel

wild patrol
#

i swear somewhere i read that supergiant games doesn't like rehashing their old titles because they already wrapped up the story they wanted to tell.

#

something along those lines.

#

and they left the server

#

🔫 tizomg

#

i love the game hades, but what should i try next? pyre, or transistor, or any other reccomendation?

haughty crane
#

Bastion has similar but slower gameplay to Hades, Transistor is pretty different but much more in-depth narrative and emotional beats. Pyre is very different gameplay, often described as a "visual novel x magic basketball"

hidden schooner
#

o

#

i never heard of magic basketball....

clever dew
#

As a Pyre fan, seconding release order. There's a progression throughout these three, it's good to see their talents and ambition and approach to certain thematic concerns develop from one project to the next.

formal geyser
#

Asan everythign fan, i thrid the release order

quick bluff
#

i’ll fourth it

#
  1. see the journey of sgg
#

2. save the best for last

hidden schooner
#

i tried googling journey of ssg, i hadnt seen anything

#

o super giant games 😛

quick bluff
#

just like, seeing their development through playing their games

#

from the oldest to the newest

#

on mobile

hidden schooner
#

im not really a reto type person tho

#

but i guess bastion aint looking tooo bad

quick bluff
#

their games aren’t what i’d call retro

#

they’re kind of their own category

gleaming tapir
#

Tfw someone calls Bastion (2011) retro XD

formal geyser
#

i remeber the good old days of playing bastion when i was little, good times

quick bluff
#

i didn't get around to it until university, though it had been in my library for a few years

hexed current
#

Play Bastion

spiral atlas
#

So, say I was going to get another game... should I get Pyre or Transistor?

clever dew
#

Thoughts on turns?

short tundra
#

pyre! it has such a great cast of characters and is just such a unique game

formal geyser
#

*screams in idiscision *

quick bluff
#

depends on your preference, really

#

the problem is that both games are hard to categorize

#

pyre for the amazing character cast

#

transistor for the strategy element in the gameplay

#

pyre’s my personal fave

#

and arguably also has more replayability

tardy barn
#

More relationships: Pyre
More action: Transistor
Much music and heartbreak: yes

rain trellis
#

i like transistor :3

#

i havent played pyre

#

but i love transistor

neon kayak
#

If you get the chance please play Pyre

#

You will not regret it

quick bluff
#

as a pyre fan i have to resist the urge to say PLAY PYRE whenever i meet someone who hasn’t played

tardy barn
#

Another factor: Pyre breaks up more easily into play sessions if that’s a concern for you. Transistor plays more like Hades: you can get sucked into long sessions.

neon kayak
#

It has only been a day since I finished Pyre but I think it is my favorite supergiant game thus far

tardy barn
#

I still haven’t finished because my PC died a screaming death. I get why they aren’t spending the time, but I wish it was available on other systems.

rare flume
#

Agree on the Pyre recommendation. Great music. Agree with GoodShade's point on length of sessions. Just make sure to take the lore in as it's revealed to you. There's reading involved

formal geyser
#

pyre is a lot of reading, it is most close to a visual novel

tardy barn
#

Pyre game loop:
Basketball!

I agree except for the fact that "Wanting to strangle and hug darren at the same time" isnt a step on there

Well that's because it's not just Darren

“Yes, I will play the music.”
“No, you can’t play that game.”
“Give me back Ti’zo.”

formal geyser
#

I will never give back Ti'zo, he is mine

rare flume
#

Oh right. We never listed Ti'zo as one of the Pyre pros

tardy barn
#

Big Kid has become fascinated with my Ti’zo plushie. He hasn’t seen me play Pyre in at least a year but he really really likes that plushie.

formal geyser
#

tizo is the only pyre pro needed

formal geyser
tardy barn
#

He is. He likes watching me play “Hollow Knight” too.

neon kayak
#

Prooobably shouldn't let him watch when you hit Deepnest.

formal geyser
#

Your kid has a very bright future, now all we need is him to pick up a big blue glowing sword and say that he likes the man inside it

rare flume
#

Hollow Knight MC kinda looks like ||robed tizomg ||

tardy barn
neon kayak
#

Deepnest is nightmare fuel for everyone.

#

That might be the most unnerved I've ever felt playing a video game.

#

Maybe Dead Space 1 has it topped, but wow.

tardy barn
#

HK was also accidentally Big Kid’s introduction to non-binary characters. I did show him Chaos to get that count up a little.

neon kayak
#

And now I'm reminded that Caitlin thinks that SGG should do a horror game at some point.

formal geyser
#

i hate horror, but sign me up

#

any game sgg makes i would buy and consume

tardy barn
#

“Hades” kinda subverts that. I’m not a horror person but I would probably still buy it.

quick bluff
#

hades isn’t horror

rare flume
#

Also dislike horror, but Dying Light was fun. So def SGG could nail down the mood yet make something I could play

tardy barn
#

The premise (getting out of the underworld) could have been and chooses not to be.

quick bluff
#

not a horror fan, so i’d have to see exactly what sgg has in mind if they make a horror

formal geyser
#

sgg could make a grass growing simulator and i would buy it

tardy barn
#

I’m on team “happy games”. The world is messed up enough.

"Dont let them be cut! NOOOOO!"

rare flume
formal geyser
#

well of course

tardy barn
#

They’d find a way to punch you in the feels.

neon kayak
#

sgg could make a game that is 20 seconds of gameplay

#

I would still play it

formal geyser
#

imagine a vr sgg game and the motto is, "Your now able to cry, in not just the 2nd dimension but in the 3rd dimension AS WELL"

tardy barn
#

No way it would be twenty seconds. Where would the reading go?

formal geyser
#

and the music

tardy barn
#

Maybe a concept like “Minit” where you play over and over again. That could be cool from them.

quick bluff
#

credits song longer than the game itself

neon kayak
#

The gameplay is just an untextured t posing character walking into a door and the credits roll

quick bluff
#

there’s a 10 second long twine game called queers in love at the end of the world

tardy barn
#

Song using all the samples and instruments Darren wanted to buy and couldn’t justify before.

quick bluff
#

rag bag of music

formal geyser
#

and somehow its still better then 85% of other music

tardy barn
#

It’s a ridiculous question, but being married to a musician seriously makes me wonder where he stores all those stringed instruments. My partner has taken over most of one room and is plotting to expand to another.

rare flume
quick bluff
#

the noclip documentaries offer glimpses of instruments in the studio, and in darren korb’s house

tardy barn
#

Like the “Hades” song video go “here’s this song. I made it on [super obscure stringed instrument that no one has] but here are the TABS”.

formal geyser
tardy barn
#

I mean, better the basement than a surface level room.

quick bluff
#

what do you mean, a house full of instruments sounds almost as great as a house full of books

tardy barn
#

It is. It’s just expensive.

#

You know how there’s the stereotype about the housewife buying way too many clothes that they hoard in closets for “just the right occasion”? Musicians do that with instruments.

#

My partner’s goal is to get a job that will buy their instruments for him.

quick bluff
#

i’m not a professional musician, nor is anyone in my family. but i have this urge to learn to Play Every Instrument, so i have quite a few. granted, most are relatively cheap souvenirs

tardy barn
#

If you listen close, you can hear some of the digital instruments pop up again. The “Transistor” bells show up in Than’s theme, for example.

#

I played guitar once upon a time. I want to start again, but money and time and stuff.

#

Just got email from Black Screen Records regarding SGG vinyls shipment - in Europe delayed until the end of year basically... 😦

#

uhg, so bad.

rare flume
#

We've Sandalwood in Pyre, Zag Firefeet in Hades, does anyone have a guess for the next game? 👀

formal geyser
#

by guess you mean what kind of weird feet?

rare flume
#

Yes, a feet-themed name or char

formal geyser
#

i have absolutely no idea

quick bluff
#

bastion and trasistor have no such character that i can remember

#

not sure game 5 will either

rare flume
#

Couldn't remember one for Bastion either.
But maybe this is one of the newer design quirks they've picked up?

quick bluff
#

i hold the belief that three makes a trend. so i guess their next game will decide whether feet-themed characters are going to continue to be a thing

#

i never really thought of sandalwood as a feet thing. more of a tree thing

#

unless volfred wears sandals and i just didn't know

rare flume
#

Not sure either, but I read that as both feet and tree/sap

gleaming tapir
#

Jerks don't really have feet but I don't thikn that counts for this 🤔

quick bluff
#

cluckers are the only processes that do, i think

gleaming tapir
#

Fetches have paws I suppose, but most of them just have like... little tripod stick-feet or whatever is going on with the Jerk

#

or they don't even touch the ground like Snapshots

its gone now

formal geyser
#

No feet, everyone is a slug, ron is delighted

quick bluff
#

in all four of their games, you do appear to play as a human/humanoid. would be an interesting change to not have that next time

Next Sg game, snake adventure

sgg game where catboy

neon kayak
#

We got Gilgamesh, though. thanthink

quick bluff
#

still got to read the epic of gilgamesh. never knew he was a catboy

#

only as an aspect, though, not as a character

rare flume
#

A game centered in Mesopotamia would be amazing tho shadeembarassed

quick bluff
#

^^definitley!

#

talk about underrepresented mythology

rare flume
#

Pyre-style dialog and voices gilmanlove

neon kayak
#

Ooh, will Mesopotamia be the focus of the 50-hour visual novel we know SGG will eventually make?

quick bluff
#

i would be down for that

#

maybe it would go off the beaten track and not have you actually play as gilgamesh

formal geyser
#

Would not be opposed

rare flume
#

Does it count as beaten path if there's no games about it?

quick bluff
#

true, there is no path at all

#

make a beaten path, then go off it

rare flume
#

Tru dat. Going for someone other than Gilgamesh gives them a bit more latitude

formal geyser
# quick bluff make a beaten path, then go off it

I'm ready for SGG to invent a new type of game genre then say that their game was too non innovative of the entire new game genre they invented and create another off of the beaten path they created

rare flume
#

It almost sounds like you're hinting at a basketball game in Mesopotamia thanthink

#

I'm just making myself smile by imagining that some crucial element of the SGG Abbey Road vinyls was routed through the Suez Canal aboard the Ever Given

inner wave
#

itd be p dope if they made a game abt war heroes and legends, but it might not be family friendly enough to be considered

cobalt gust
#

i don't think being 'family friendly' is their top concern, i mean hades features a lot of blood and violence and other stuff

#

and the other games aren't squeaky clean either

tardy barn
#

I think they are going for plausible deniability.

#

The games aren’t totally violent or totally fluffy, but there’s content for people who enjoy those things.

pseudo prism
cobalt gust
#

ah i've never seen that

neon kayak

"but nooo, more Fortnite" ron

#

Drag them, Greg. Drag them.

tardy barn
#

Family friendly as long as those kids are older. Five year old will jam to the soundtracks and “borrow” Ti’zo but he isn’t ready to play on his own yet.

#

On the other hand, some of my earliest video game memories are of helping my dad play the OG “Wolfenstein” so maybe I’m not the best judge 😆

quick bluff
#

many games out there allude to more serious themes which fly over kids' heads until they grow older. my first video game that wasn't just a puzzle game was civilization 4, which is considered kid friendly even though you can nuke people and leave a trail of razed cities behind you if you wish

Can someone help me settle a dispute? Preferably someone that works for SuperGiant.. Hades was a retail release, and not a limited release, correct? Once it sells out it'll just get a reprint I assume?

haughty crane
torn oar
#

You mean the devs aren't in this Discord? Is this a fan made server?

haughty crane
pseudo prism
#

the physical is not a limited release, they have never said it is

#

Were it limited they would have indicated such from the original announcement

#

the only thing that might potentially be limited is the soundtrack code + character compendium book, but there's been no word on whether its permanent or limited

torn oar
#

Thank you. That's what I'm saying!

pseudo prism
#

to answer your other question, this is not a fan made server, but the supergiant team is fairly hands off for the most part and allows the server to be largely community-driven. they do pop through from time to time but if you're looking to contact them (and get a definitive answer) then as swan has pointed out, your best bet is contacting them directly.

#

there were limited physical releases of Bastion and Transistor over the past few years, and these were done in partnership with Limited Run, so perhaps that's where the confusion may be coming from. but Hades is a retail release and Greg refers to it as such himself in this video, if that's helpful in any way

#

Hey guys out of all the SG games outside of Hades which would yall recommend for switch?

pliant shuttle
#

pyre's not on switch, so you could choose from transistor or bastion. between those I'd say transistor but they're both good

pallid cradle
#

ahh ty!

short tundra
#

late but i think bastion works really well on the switch

azure prawn
#

Sgg games are very light as they targeted Intel integrated graphic so the games would be available for all

#

So the most heavy element of these games is sjson engine

#

That's why for Hades which is rly fast game they had to improve the engine to enable multi core performance (for switch slow 4 cores as well)

#

Idk if pyre is possible on switch without the new engine, as there is a lot more things on screen than in Bastion

#

Whole world In pyre lives, and it's beautiful

short tundra
#

this is what theyve said on pyre for switch

#

which makes me very sad :(

the Kid: can carry 2 weapons
Zag: can only carry 1 weapon
Conclusion: kid > zag

haughty crane

Not that I would endorse putting characters against each other like this, but thekid can also walk while blocking with his shield || ; ) ||

quick bluff
#

red has them both beat

haughty crane
#

Oh?

quick bluff
#

actually they are from different worlds, so not sure if this would be true outside of cloudbank. but: turn()

#

time stop alone would give a huge advantage

haughty crane
#

Pfft, we're not having them fight each other, that'd be ridiculous

quick bluff
#

must have got the wrong impression :)

#

red still has turn () and a variety of functions to combine. so: red > kid > zag

willow pasture
#

I guess you could say red can hold 16 weapons

#

But in another sense it's just 1 funky sword

haughty crane
#

Red can barely hold 1 funky sword

#

*other than being able to throw it up into the air

ionic violet
#

honestly the sparks from dragging it alone could kill

#

Also Red's looks :p

pseudo prism
#

zag is an immortal god of rebirth and the other two are mortals who will tire sooner rather than later, it's not always about the weapons ablobthinkingeyes

wild patrol
#

zag's feet are on fire. throw them into a pillow room or something and then it'll burn around them. or zag can just do a "dormammu i've come to bargain" with said rebirth.

haughty crane
wild patrol
#

zag's weapons are multifunction :p

#

shield and spear have 3 ways to attack and thekid's weapons are monofuctional.

quick bluff
#

the transistor is very multifunctional

wild patrol
#

are we doing endgame characters or starting characters, because id argue zag has a great endgame and thekid stays pretty neutral.

quick bluff
#

4 main functions which can be enhanced by any 4 upgrades in addition to up to 4 passive upgrades, one of which enables a function known as kill ()

#

the kid has more weapons, which can be upgraded to be more powerful and efficient

hey, recently ive been considering buying another supergiant game, and ive been wondering which to pick. the games that interest me most are pyre and transistor, what would you reccomend?

formal geyser
#

what type of games do you like? transsitor is much more tactical while pyre has a lot of reading but also requires a fair bit of skill in the rites once they get going. I like transsitor a bit more, but not by much

neon kayak
#

What are you most into?

#

Action or dialogue?

#

Pyre is 65/35 visual novel/NBA Street, Transistor is an action RPG like Bastion but with a major ability that makes it almost turn-based strategy.

#

Pyre is pure fantasy, Transistor is very soft sci-fi.

formal geyser
#

pyre is so fantasy it has its own semi language

neon kayak
#

personally i would go with Transistor but im weird like that, they gave you the info the choice is now yours

shell locust
#

hm based off of that information i think id like pyre more

#

thank you!

yay, i was going to toss in a vote for pyre! have fun

pyre is a good game to and i understand your choice have fun with it

I'm so excited! I just bought Transistor and Bastion on sale on the Switch ^_^ I wish Pyre was on the Switch too.. have the devs mentioned if they have plans to port the game? :)

pseudo prism
# north sandal I'm so excited! I just bought Transistor and Bastion on sale on the Switch ^_^ I...

They currently do not

It's one of those things where, if it weren't extraordinarily difficult for our team, we probably would have already done it. We're fortune to have our own tech and tools, which are tailored to the individuals on our team and help us make games with a distinct feel. But one of the downsides is that porting that tech to other platforms is not as easy as we'd like. With Hades, we suspected from the start that we'd want to bring the game to Nintendo Switch, and planned for it early and made tons of technical changes to make it possible (and even then it was a Herculean / Heraclean task for our engineering team). Whereas most of Pyre's development occurred before the Nintendo Switch was announced, so we had no way of accounting for its hardware. This isn't meant as a bunch of excuses, as I know it can sound that way, just to provide some context.

#

Aww, I'm kinda sad about that, but I understand

#

Thanks for letting me know!

formal geyser
#

Really wish it was on switch :( but yeah I see why they didnt, not very well optimized

#

And the whole engine issues (which is where the optimization errors come from)

pseudo prism
#

the notable part of this is the fact that, even having planned to bring hades to switch nearly from the beginning, it was still quite difficult for them to do so.

#

very unfortunate for pyre. maybe it'll come one day down the road but i'm sure if there's any ports coming its going to be further hades ports

night salmon
#

Maybe someday if SGG attains the status of Squaresoft there'll be a fancy remastered release of Pyre for some future console

#

A deep cut for the fans, like FFIII.

formal geyser
#

Pyre remaster would make me so happy

i really like the art throughout supergiant games but they dont have artbooks and dont publish much of them

#

i'd really love to have some full character art sprite as reference

#

bruh

#

i dont own switch

#

#

About concept art, I think there was posted something on Twitter... by one of the team members

exotic depot
#

ah okay i'll try to look up

#

thanks for the info

slow otter
#

there is also this

#

which you can see some of the artwork in rough stages or by itself

Also, this is what I was talking about regarding Twitter: https://twitter.com/artpaiges/status/1364309732345872384?s=20

Here's a #HadesGame 3D character model thread!🧵 Starting off with one of my favorite characters to work on, Achilles! His hair was very fun to figure out in 3D~ [Also please beware potentially spoilery characters if you haven't played the game]

ah yes thank you

not all of the characters but these are pretty great

i can't believe they dont have artbook for any game yet

the artworks are what drawn me to hades and transistor in the first place

I'm not gonna lie, every time I hear "Supergiant" and "artbook" in the same paragraph, I can't help but get excited. The artwork in all the games is what drew me in in the first place and it just keeps getting better and better shadeohboy

Hey, I just wanted to chime in a say good luck to SuperGiant Games today with the D.I.C.E. Awards and I hope Hades wins many awards!

@viscid heart hiya, the game was on sale just a month ago, and discounts fairly often. you can refer to sources such as steamdb to check price history for games

if there is no sale within the next month, i would suggest waiting for the summer sale that typically takes place near the end of june, though i've heard there is supposed to be a big steam sale at the end of may

so im still holding out for a tactical turn based game, like ff tactics or fire emblem

coarse parrot
#

i hope they make whatever they want to make

short tundra
#

greg has said the original tactics is one of his favorites

formal geyser
#

a tactic game would be so sick

#

and the modding possibilites would be awesome

coarse parrot
#

id say action rpg but they already did that

formal geyser
#

a stealth game would be amazing as well

boreal vault
#

What is stealth?

rare flume
#

Greg's steam acc's profile pic is a character from a tactical TBS IIRC, Super Robot Wars

#

Although considering what they accomplished with Pyre's VN component, I'd like them to not stray too far from that dialog format shadegrief

rare flume
boreal vault
#

Ooooh

#

So a game where the gameplay aims to make player sneak in areas?

rare flume
#

He probably means that. There's first/third person games like the older Assassin's Creeds (not entirely, but you get the idea), but given SGG's budget we would expect something like Shadow Tactics from a top-down perspective

#

Infiltrate and steal something, sabotage some blueprints, and so on

gleaming tapir
#

SuperGiant Tactics, just a big crossover game where all the protags face down some extradimensional threat XD

coarse parrot
#

an rts would be cool

formal geyser
#

By stealth I meant game slike shadow of mordor, assassins creed, horizon zero dawn (kind of a stealth game) where your goal isnt gon and destroy everything just tactically take people out as you cant fight everyone

rare flume
#

Those are fun 😄
But the aesthetic of a game like that would differ strongly from the other SGG games. And also a third-person camera would be a pain to make with so few people

formal geyser
#

yeah, didnt mean those exact type of game but those are the biggest examples of the type of stealth i mean

rare flume
#

I can see them making a plot and world as good as HZD's, or even better shadesmile

ebon gyro
#

Which Supergiant Games have mods?

pliant totem
#

hades got some

ebon gyro
#

For some reason I feel like Hades can have custom Olympians
all it needs to have is

  1. An interesting character
  2. Functions that can be used for builds of some sort and fits their power/personality
  3. Voicelines I think? (probably not but it would be interesting)
  4. Curse that can synergize with the boon functions
  5. Keepsake that fits their theme
  6. Duos with all the other gods (doesn't need to have duos with other modded olympians)
#

Cuz I had an idea for Vulcan
Has DoT like Dion but it acts like Asphodel's lava

#

But unlike poison it does rapid DoT but can't stack

#

Also for some silly reason I kinda thought of some "non-olympian" deities on how they would make their boons (i.e. the Archons from Genshin Impact)

formal geyser
#

Theres a modding server pinned in #self-promotion. Gods could be made in Hades, the problem comes down to making them feel a) unique and b) good art

mental orbit
#

I want to try another supergiant game

#

Which one do you guys recommend?

formal geyser
#

which oine have you played and why did you like it?

mental orbit
quick bluff
#

pyre if you’re into the dialogue. none of the other games are as grindy as hades, but bastion’s gameplay style is the closest

formal geyser
#

^^

mental orbit
#

Oh alright thanks

sleek flame
#

i'd recommend bastion

short tundra
#

bastion is the best so you should play it

rare flume
#

I would not suggest Bastion (for this particular scenario). I like it very much and I feel its music is better than Hades'. But if you've been playing Hades a lot then maybe the gameplay would feel like more of the same, and you wouldn't be able to appreciate it.
That said, if you don't feel tired of smashing things OR you've taken a break from Hades already, then do play it. Pyre's also great though. Great VN

scenic zinc
#

Also I don't know if I'm supposed to stay completely on the topic of supergiant games but if you liked Hades you would probably also like some other roguelikes like The Binding Of Isaac, Enter The Gungeon, and Moonlighter

azure prawn
#

Tbh wait for promo, all supergiants games are often with 90% price cut. So you can buy all 3 for like 8$

And play them all :)

Hey Supergiant people, I think Greg Kasavin's Twitter got hacked? His account is posting a bunch of spam currently

real vessel
#

yea, i messaged him on Twitter and here.

#

to let him know

yeah he got hacked

#

not sure how to report that on Twitter

but if you know how, let the others know

hopefully Greg will change PW and then delete those tweets himself

oh I see

wait I can't post images here?

posts image anyways

either way, go to the profile -> report an issue -> click the option in the image

i'm gonna see if he gets it resolved before i report it

so it can no longer post

until the issue is resolved

I hope we will get new info soon what Supergiant is going to do next. More stuff for Hades? a new game? Who knows 😄

lusty dawn
#

I am also curious if it’s going to be early access again or secret development until release 🤔

formal geyser
#

probably secret dev again as i feel like the only reason they did early Access is because pyre didn't do as well as the other games

azure prawn
#

They got money for epic exclusive title at the start. It also allowed them to get a cash flow to make Hades as great as it is. So yeach. Even when Pyre is great, it did not sell enough.

But we can only guess why.

quick bluff
#

the machinations of yslach no doubt

short tundra
#

the world just wasnt ready for wizard basketball 😔

gleaming tapir
#

My guess would be secret dev again, unless it’s something as open-ended as Hades. I think Hades was open by the nature of it, being a roguelike means lots of random things needed testing, and that’s easier to do with a bigger pool via early access release

#

Though the prolonged hype certainly didn’t hurt their numbers

full dock
#

i escaped

#

asphodel

short tundra
#

the replay value for pyre lies in the different character relationships and what you hear from the interactions, as well as ||whom you send up during the lib rite and how that affects the rest of the story||

#

there's also ||the extra mode|| you get after beating the game the first time

#

this is related to the channel bc in #h1-discussion there was a discussion abt dlc and sgg games in general

rare flume
#

Also you can give a different backstory to your character, or play using different amulets and tactics

#

And just chilling in the blackwagon or seeing the landscape is quite the treat squirtnya
Pyre has many of those "leave it running for ambience" menu screens. Except they're not menu screens but you get the idea

#

It's a long shot, but does anyone know how difficult it would be to make this but for SGG's games? https://halome.nu

I just want to take a moment to thank you amazing people at Supergiant for not only making a banger game but helping me realize I'm agender with your interpretation of Primordial Chaos. Thank you all so much.

Also I don't think I'm emotionally ready to see the shade emotes getting replaced. I just got here shadegrief

Which ones do you think will be left over?

do they get replaced?

#

never knew that

gleaming tapir
#

I mean, there are still Bastion emotes, so I don't think they'll be replaced

rare flume
#

Well. There's a limit, right?
Also we've some greyed-out hades stickers. I assumed those were phased out at some point

formal geyser
#

those are just video / gif so if you dont have nitro they are greyed out as you cant sue them

#

and they do have 150 server emote slots

rare flume
#

At some point the less used ones shall give way to the new games'. It's kinda like meta-Pyre

#

Aight meta-Pyre is canceled. Which is a good thing?

quick bluff
#

wonder when we'll find out what the game is. probably not for a while unless they're doing early access again

rare flume
#

And they'll be doing EA if they do something expensive and massive like Hades

#

You'd think they'd go for something swifter this time around, but... volfredthink

quick bluff
#

there's no way of knowing. their games have only gotten bigger so far, but that doesn't mean they'll continue that trend

formal geyser
#

i think that their were 2 reasons for EA, 1) Pyre didnt do too hot 2) Its a rouglike thats pretty big, nice to get some free playtesters

quick bluff
#

i can imagine that a roguelite could benefit heavily from early access feedback

rare flume
#

In Pyre's Noclip, Darren (?) says something like "all the work on Pyre's voicelines that Greg had to do was crippling. He won't be doing anything like that in the future". He seemed sincere.

Then they dropped Hades anyway

#

I do think it'll have less dialog than Hades but it's probs still going to be bigger than Pyre

quick bluff
#

they may just continue the pattern of doing something completely different. i hope they do tbh

rare flume
formal geyser
#

oh right yeah because it was an exclusive

quick bluff
#

i couldn't play hades until release! if they do the same sort of partnership i'll have to avoid spoilers for a couple of years

rare flume
quick bluff
#

when do you think it'll be announced, whatever it is? probably not for a while yet, i'm guessing

gleaming tapir
#

probably a year and a bit if I were to ballpark

#

at soonest

rare flume
quick bluff
#

temptation is the problem here.

#

that being said, i never closely followed hades' development because i knew i couldn't play it for a while anyway. on the other hand, i've joined this server and i think i'd not be able to resist peeking into a muted channel every so often

formal geyser
#

ah i do the same still, everything but the channels under the supergiant games category is muted besides announcments

rare flume
#

Even #fan-works would be a spoiler minefield. Even now there's quite a few Pyre spoilers that non-readers don't even notice shadeembarassed

quick bluff
#

i may be wrong, but i think their previous games have been (fully) released three years apart from each other? 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020?

rare flume
#

You're correct

#

Gotta finish Bastion and Transistor before 2023 thanthink

#

That said, working from home may be less efficient than at the studio. So delays can be expected

quick bluff
#

true, though who knows how long this state of affairs will continue.

#

looking at the job posting, it looks like remote work may remain an option, whatever happens in the future. which honestly sounds like a great opportunity for those with the experience for the job

rare flume
#

Your power animal: What is it?!

#

WFH is an option, but I can't imagine how much better it'd be to work in the studio. A small group of artists/writers/proggers, everyone focused in the same project.
Must do wonders with the team's morale and also allow easy discussion, which is crucial in early dev stages

quick bluff
#

having wfh as an option is great for convenience's sake, and i kind of hope it continues to be a widespread option. but yeah, it's not the same as working things out in person

rare flume
#

Unis can now switch to having some classes be fully online. And those "this could have been an email" meetings can now be just that

#

One thing we can speculate endlessly is the setting:

  • fantasy as B or P,
  • cyberpunk like T,
  • ancient history-like like H
  • new setting
#

(getting Transistor's and Hades' was more difficult than I expected failbag )

quick bluff
#

Bastion and Pyre are both unconventional forms of fantasy that i loved experiencing
Transistor's not quite cyberpunk, i think? but does have a sci-fi feel to it
Hades is mythology-based, with some creative lisence

rare flume
#

My point about Hades is that it undoubtedly happens in Earth, unlike the others. (I think Pyre's the only that may happen in Earth because of the language?)

#

Thus our hypothetical Mesopotamia-based VN would fall in the same category as Hades

willow pasture
#

What if they made a game in a space station

formal geyser
#

what makes you say transistor isnt on earth?

rare flume
#

I haven't played it failbag
I'll leave that discussion to the rest of you

rare flume
willow pasture
#

Do the characters in hades ever actually say they're on earth?

quick bluff
#

i doubt that pyre's set on earth, what with harps and bog crones
hades is definitely set on a version of earth, though not this one

rare flume
#

Not explicitly? But we get Crete/Minos references. Also ||Greece||

quick bluff
#

hades is set during that timeless "age of myth" which hosted fantastical elements like bull-men, which also didn't exist in our real life timeline

#

transistor's set in ||a virtual world, which means that the implied real world attached to it could be Earth or could not||

rare flume

Alt-mythological history!
That covers it well I think

gleaming tapir
#

still got the fingers crossed for a horror game XD

quick bluff
#

it's not really official, it's just the agreed upon theory. one could propose viable alternatives

#

can't do horror. that lingering feeling of unease/dread always turns my stomach after awhile. from sgg, i might entertain the idea at least

zealous barn
#

My opinion on horror games as well https://xkcd.com/2056/

short tundra
#

i love horror but horror doesn't love me...... i get spooked so bad so easily

#

although an agg horror would be really interesting

#

imagine if they did something in the same vein as jawson's bog

zealous barn
#

I don't like that horror games often involve 1. random stealth, 2. running away from a monster, and 3. survival aspects (which I don't like)

willow pasture
#

So you want a scary game where you don't have to hide or run or manage an inventory?

#

You want a rollercoaster

#

... which is valid

zealous barn
#

lol

#

I think survival games are a whole different category for me, I really dislike that. As soon as I see a hunger and thirst bar, I'm out lol

#

I think something like >observer_ was cool. It did have those random stealth moments (and maybe a chase?) but it could've worked without that

#

There's stuff like Soma's safe mode too. Definitely not the type of OH H*ECK OH FR*ICK I NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE RIGHT NOW games but yeah

gleaming tapir
#

that's fair, I'd think more in the vein of like... idk if I can come p witha good analoge, maybe World of Horror? Somehting atmospheric and laid-back, not like Amnesia or even Silent Hill or RE. Something that's more about the world and the weirdness, not the gore or tension

#

but that's just me, I know it's not a lot of peoples' thing and I will concede the concept being upopular 😅

Hiring 3d artist. Does this mean 3d game? 0_PogChamp

rare flume
#

Don't think so. SGG is still small and indie.
But even then their games use 3D models. There's this vid on Hades', feat Nyx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYJ6d1ifSqA

Here's an in-depth look at how we translate hand-painted character art into the in-world characters you see in Hades. 3D artist Paige Carter walks you through each step of the process, using her work on Nyx as an example.

#

These 3D models seem like so much work for such a small detail, but they do enhance the House's flavor tizomg

formal geyser
#

All the animations are actually 3d animations packed into a type of file called a bink file which can be read by RAD video tools

willow pasture
#

I thought they were 2d renders of 3d images

formal geyser
#

Yeah that's more accurate then what I said

azure prawn
#

If their next game will actually render 3D models in game then it allow them for even better lighting , so I'm quite hyped that they are seeking for new 3D artist right now.

#

My only assumptions about any new Supergiant Game is that it'll have very good music and art, involve themes of human relationships, choice, and death, and feature Logan Cunningham killing it on the mike in some capacity.

#

Beyond that, it's a tossup.

#

That said, I'm torn between wanting to see Jen Zee tackle a space setting, and feeling like there are a million games already set in space and wanting another idiosyncratic SGG worldbuilding experience

quick bluff

with sgg, you know it would be a different space setting from anything you've seen before

on the new sgg project speculation, so far we've had
-fantasy with some light steampunk elements hack slash
-sci fi mix between real time and turn based combat
-full on fantasy basketball
-fantasy/mythology based hack slash roguelike

a guess would be we get something that isn't inherently combat based, like pyre

#

another guess would be we get something completely turn based, which would work given the isometric fov (maybe the new 3d artist is on to ensure rotating cameras/seeing the field from many angles?)

#

maybe a party based system where you don't control a character but instead some deity or machine (setting dependent) that gives the party members commands during combat

#

maybe the party members are inflicted with some curse or are part machine/android and are at your mercy during combat sequences, which can touch on themes of being a soldier/war/etc; dunno if that's ssg domain of themes though

#

very broad strokes though, and just a mix between speculation and what i'd like to see

rich stirrup
#

Or a multiplayer version of Hades, not a new game 😍

short tundra
#

i would LOVE something turn based

haughty crane
#

That would require a similar amount of back-end work, since quite literally the entire game is predicted on one player

short tundra
#

which ive said like a million times lmao

#

but it;d also be cool to have something non combat again

formal geyser
#

id doubt that would happen. a) they have stated many times they dont really like returning to games b) networking is a LOT of work, and a lot of costs especially for a small company like that and c) They probably have multiplayer PTSD from pyre

short tundra
#

tho i do think turn based is possible bc greg has said the original ff tactics is one of his favorite games

formal geyser
#

i would love a turn based sgg game, especially because there is no action unless you do something meaning you can just JAM to the music

sgg games have always been very narrative heavy

aktho maybe theyll circle back around and go to a silent protag again

haughty crane

Yee, I picked those two because they're the most recent two, and because Bastion and Transistor were pretty solidly linear

Also, a recent Steam thread on the same topic (SGG's next game)

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1145360/discussions/0/3085508296766339329/

After clearing Hades a few times, I felt compelled to go back and replay their other games, as Hades was just that good. I had to go back and see if the other titles were as good as I remembered - mainly the first two. Well I beat Bastion again, and I beat Transistor again. Few achievements in either game left for 100%, but something stood out t...

#

I mean hades is technically linear, its just so massive and its a rougelike it doesnt feel that way as you always get the same results just at different times

haughty crane
#

You don't have to do the things in the same order

formal geyser
#

hmmm yeah i guess

short tundra
#

i think a game like bastion where the narrator is the main character but you're playing as a different character fronting as the man character, which i thought was pretty cool

haughty crane
#

It doesn't branch like Pyre though, which is what I think you were referring to?

formal geyser
#

i was thinking it mroe like you can get different dialouge then anyone else depending on your choices but i see what you mean

#

yeah

#

very babs it was awesome

haughty crane
#

My brain won't turn off so I can go to sleep, so here's more game analysis lmao

Edit for clarity just in case: When I say "variation", I'm referring to how much difference there can be between two playthroughs of the game. Some RPG subgenres have a pretty large amount of gameplay variation through upgrade trees and items, while others lean into narrative variation through dialogue trees or intentionally emergent storytelling

Pyre is linear narratively, but has a ton of different branching paths for replay value (plus some replay value through player-side variation of gameplay by using different people, items, etc.). Hades is non-linear, but results in going through mostly the same narrative content (and gaining replay value almost entirely through gameplay, with some minor dialogue changes depending on how certain things happen).

Bastion has very minor branching, with strictly player-controlled variation (weapons, order of structures, upgrades chosen). I didn't notice any branching in Transistor other than optional additional events/dialogues, but Transistor has massive variation based on how the players combine functions (I don't remember the source, but I recall a thing where the devs said there was no way they could've tested and balanced every possible set of combinations of functions).

#

.
While I don't want to place my bets too squarely, since SGG loves surprising us, I would expect a game with high replayability (since that's one thing that has increased with each game), and narrative complexity

short tundra
#

that;s some very cool analysis

formal geyser
#

yeah basically hades and pyre are opposite. hades always has the same end point but a different journey, and pyre has the same journey (at least structure wise not dialouge wise) but a lot of different end points

I would say the first 2 are right but might i recommend:
Boxer: sassy & oblivious
Hades Narrator: Distant & sarcastic

true, boxer's really an unreliable/limited narrator while the hades narrator is more omniscient

#

AJ and Boxer would probably get into an argument while the other two narrators continue calmly narrating

Rucks and Homer would either narrate the fight or completely ignore it lmao

passive-aggressively dropping comments about the other narrators while not breaking stride in the narration of the main character

oh holy imagine a sgg horror game idk how that would work but

I mean transistor had a bit of just psychological stuff if you looked into it and read lore iirc

#

So it’s not that far fetched

And I’d love to see their art style in a horror setting ngl

oh i've been kinda-but-not-really joking about a SGG horror game for months now

if not years

i would love to see it
i think there's enough talent there to make something truly special that really gets under your skin without relying on jumpscares and gore and what not

i'd be a breath of fresh air for this... kinda stale genre

i mean... just imagine Darren channeling his inner Akira Yamaoka for the ost PES_Ok

short tundra

i think sgg could definitely do a good horror game, but i can't really picture them doing it

it doesn't really fit with their aesthetic

rain trellis

transistor was creepy If you read into it Imo

#

I won’t go into detail due to faint memory and spoilers

#

But it had a horror esq vibe albeit smol

shadow torrent
#

I havent played transistor yet

#

I feel like I should

short tundra

it's a good game

#

i can see the creepy elements of it but i wouldn't call it enough to fall into the horro category

#

imo

olive hull
short tundra
#

i mean there are definitely kinda creepy elements to a lot of the games. like if you think about pyre, demonification is horrifying

shadow torrent
#

the only game Ive played from supergiant is Hades but I wanna play the other games eventually

olive hull
#

They’re very good!

short tundra
#

the other games are super good! if you do, i recommend starting at the beginning, as that's the most similiar to hades combat-wise (albeit slower) and it's also cool to see their progression

olive hull
#

I may have played the most of hades but I’ve sunk a lot of time into the others too, and I love them dearly

short tundra
#

but also re: horror elements again, like bastion and crushing the calamity'd people, which is mostly optional except for one area. but it's really uncomfortable

#

(bastion is the best forever)

shadow torrent
#

Im sure Id like the other games but for me at least just because I like a game doesnt mean Im gonna play it

#

like I love Omori but I havent beaten it

olive hull
#

Isn’t that game like 20 hours or longer

shadow torrent
#

idk

#

I didnt look at anything online bc I didnt want spoilers

night salmon
#

I think SGG is happy to implement eerie and horrifying elements into their games, but making it the central focus of a game seems unlikely given the usual themes they use

#

Horror games have the fear of death at their core, and every Supergiant Game so far has involved overtly or subtextually coming to terms with aspects of death, loss, and mortality.

#

So if they did do a game that heavily used horror tropes, I think the result would be very outside the typical horror game framework.

smoky moth
#

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but, does anybody know if supergiant is going to sell more physical copies of Hades? Here in Spain is out of stock everywhere.

short tundra
#

i'd recommend contacting them through their "contact me" page on their website

smoky moth
#

Okay, thanks!

night salmon
#

Copying this from another conversation, but Transistor is already kind of a horror game, in its premise.

#

Major spoilers: ||"The world is ending, the entire city is being overrun by deadly monsters, everyone else is either dead or dying, my boyfriend has been murdered and I'm haunted by his ghost, I'm being constantly attacked by swarms of eldritch creatures that are unmaking reality, and I'm probably going to die too, alone in an empty apocalypse."||

#

But because it's Supergiant, they approached this premise in their own particular way and the result was Transistor.

The modern conception of a horror game is a game where you get chased down a hallway

I tell you what, I love every SGG

But it is a special sorrow, as someone whose unabashed favorite is Pyre, whenever a Hades fan comes in here to ask, "So which should I play next, Bastion or Transistor?" 🤣

Trueee

clever dew
#

"Keeping the best for last, huh?"

night salmon
#

(I didn't even start with Pyre first - I played Bastion back in 2012 and Transistor right when it came out, and I adore them both - I just legitimately found it even more satisfying overall than its elder siblings)

short tundra
#

sgg loves all their games, hades, bastion, transistor looks at smudged writing on hand plier

night salmon
#

It seems to have developed this reputation as The Weird One? Which isn't not true, as far as gameplay goes, but the plot and music and design are all 100% grade-A Supergiant stuff, and the unusual gameplay is quite forgiving, by design.

#

Even if you're really bad at the Rites, ||you can lose every single one and still complete the game with a valid and unique ending.||

#

Plus, it has PvP, which you'd think would be more of a draw... 🤔

neon kayak
#

Yes, but the PVP wasn't online until quite a while later, from a Steam update, I think.

quick bluff
#

more like the Forgotten One, i think. speaking for myself, if i hadn't gotten it as part of the sgg bundle, i'd never have heard of it: it's not close enough to the games i typically play to be in my recommends
i wasn't sure i'd enjoy it based on the description alone, but when i started playing i immediately got drawn into the story and the world

neon kayak
#

After playing Bastion, I bought Transistor and Pyre on release from name recognition alone.

clever dew
#

I'm just glad my friends know me and dragged me into it...

neon kayak
#

Helps that they don't absolutely flood the market with a game every year and they release them comparatively cheap.

quick bluff
#

before supergiant i never paid attention to the studios that made the games i like. so i didn't know sgg's repertoire (didn't even realize that bastion and transistor were made by the same people until i played them both)

neon kayak
#

I didn't buy Hades on EGS release 'cause my computer was busted at the time, but I did get it while Lernie was still the final boss, so that counts?

short tundra

i played bastion before any of the other sgg games came out, loved it (shocker), and then played all the other games just bc i like sgg that much

"Oh, the company that made Bastion is coming out with another game? Cool, I really enjoyed that. The music from the trailer seems on point, too."

7 years later, all it takes for me to start bawling is hearing the opening notes of Paper Boats and In The Blood.

I haven’t even finished Bastion but “Mother” wrecks me every time, especially watching it live. Something about seeing Darren sing it really gets to me.

quick bluff
rare flume
#

ITB is a crowning moment, but the game is still a family-sized scope. Whereas Pyre's scope is quite larger and ||the credits roll has the same black-blue aesthetic as the game and the song packs bigger punches than ITB||

#

Hades being a rougelite means the song can only safely cover the beginning of the game and some common events to every playthrough ||whereas Pyre, as a VN, gets a song|| ||covering the entire journey since it's more 'on rails'||

night salmon
#

You say that like Bound Together isn't ||precisely customized to the lineup you liberated|| 😅

quick bluff
#

the hades storyline is more linear than pyre's, if anything

#

the only variation in hades' story is in how far the players choose to go

rare flume
#

It is more linear, but the ||end states are much more varied. Whereas in Pyre it's a set of binary, independent (mostly) outcomes. Unlike the myriad of possibilities in Hades ||

#

Worded the first one rather poorly, sorry failbag

quick bluff
#

||i would argue that hades has only two real "end states," the credits and the epilogue. other than that, there are simply points where you stop playing||

#

i've noticed this, being someone who likes to play games with a definite ending

rare flume
#

||Making a BT-like song for Hades would have too many possibilities, but that could be limited to independent clauses like in Pyre. Now that I think of it, writing it could take maybe the same amount of effort as BT. So the decision to make a one-size-fits-all song could have been due to other reasons||

#

||Maybe it's their traveling-gamestudio clause. Never revisiting a path they've tried already||

quick bluff
#

||i don't think it would fit for hades, to be honest. there are only two variables for each character: either their storyline is resolved/reaches a conclusion, or it isn't. unlike pyre, where each character's ending depends on at least where they end up and who they are with, as well as the choices the Reader makes||

neon kayak
rare flume
#

(Pyre spoilers) ||That particular example is not reflected in the song IIRC. Just in the end screen. But I agree with you. We could have gotten another reactive credits song. Given how much plot there is in Hades, it would have been a great fit shadegrief ||

#

||Reactive In The Blood when||

neon kayak
#

I still don't think we agree.

#

I think Hades has significantly less story variance. A variable song like Bound Together wouldn't be appropriate.

rare flume
#

There's less variance, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work. You still get invested in the characters and the ending would help you look back on how your "Imma head out" quest ended up changing the characters around you

||Those could still work in the same way as security ranks. Small end-game acknowledgements. There could be an option near Orphy to re-see the credits according to any changes. But it's so gimmicky I don't like it||

#

Maybe what I want is a punchier ITB/credits roll?

neon kayak
#

Okay, that I can kinda get.

#

This is being a bit reductive for the actual form, but the powerpoints we get in Bastion and Transistor (I'm sorry, I'm blanking on how Pyre's credit sequence goes) hit a little more than just rowing down the Rivers until we reach the House.

rare flume
#

Pyre is ||scrolling in a looong text with images as you reach every character's verse.|| Haven't finished B nor T but I don't think they'll top this

tardy barn

Transistor doesn’t need anything fancy because you can’t see anything through your tears (maybe that was just me…)

night salmon
#

the ending song for Transistor and its accompanying credits imagery is the single most ||heartbreaking thing|| they've ever put out to date, and I say this as a ride-or-die Pyre fan

the ending for Pyre is equally emotionally affecting, imo, but it leaves you hollowed out with ||cathartic inspired joy instead of cathartic bittersweet sorrow||

why do all supergiant-games have one-word titles

formal geyser

Unlike the studio the titles are not super massive, in reality I dunno

haughty crane
#

easier for people to remember + clear symbolism?

rain trellis
#

yea i mean from my perspective sometimes you never need more than one word to get across what you need for titles. like for example my game idea ive dubbed "virtues", one word and on surface seems edgy but i named it that since the situation brought out the best(and dare i say virtues) of the characters

#

and with sgg i mean...

#

its the name of the big important plot thing like

#

bastion: wowie youre on the bastion
transistor: whats that husband sword called? transistor
pyre: whats that big pillar of flame thats really important but idk why since i havent played it? pyre
hades: whats the name of your dad that is one of the big plot point and its another name for hell? hades

#

it works really well in a simplistic manner :3

pseudo prism
#

its a double edged sword because it makes searching for content an absolute pain because those words are all associated with other things. though with hades so popular now, you're more likely to actually find hades content if you search hades, but prior to the game leaving early access that wasnt really the case

mild thistle

yeah I searched "hades Persephone" trying to find art refs and got like 20 pictures of other people's interpretations before getting to the game one

By 2030, every word you google will just show you movies, games and books with that name

When researching stuff like games or movies i just add "game" at the end, works like a charm

at least the active hades tag on twt was always hadesgame but a lot of stuff gets lost when people dont add "game" or "supergiant" somewhere to their posts so people looking for supergiant content can find them rofl c'est la vie

pyre has also been hard in tumblr tags because it's such a common word, and now tumblr puts anything with the word pyre in the tag, which is a lot of things, actually

clever dew

Yeah it's one thing with internet searches, but social media tags would need to agree on a pan-fandom etiquette and pffft good luck with that!

on tumblr there's also bastion/pyre/hades game (although i think bastion gane is the only tag that's regularly used over just the game title) but i imagine using something like #/pyre on twitter would be impossible to navigate

|| missclicked and accidentally left Zulf behind and I still haven't forgiven myself ||

|| Fae because she gave off fae (like, fey or fairy but the subtype called fae) vibes ||

|| Pretty sure I got the Sea Monster first time, not sure what I did second time ||

||Leave Zulf, I was 7 or 8 and thought it was the right thing to do as revenge for destroying the bastion
Mae, as she is and forever will be known to me, the moon touched

I asked via the contact page if they can add achievements to their GoG versions of their games and I receive an automatic message telling that they dont give personalized support for their older games so idk squirtyay

I'll tell you what, after almost ten years of loving this studio's work, one thing I have learned is that they have an Edna Mode approach to game dev

#

They never look back, darling, it distracts from the now.

#

Once the game drops in its completed form, it has been sent forth into the world and they do not meddle with it. Time to rest up and embark upon the next journey.

#

Minimal fiddling around with previous games, and no capes sequels!!

That's not totally the case--they'll do some bugfixes and other things. For example, fixing the PS5 save issue for I think Transistor?

#

but yeah, they usually focus on their current project
