hey darren when is the soundtrack droppin, give me my fix
yea
My one question is if it looks alot like Transistor and Bastion, how exactly does it develop/diversify away from that?
i can only loop this trailer so many times
dont get me wrong i dont mind the epic games store
hype yo
but like i like all my games in 1 place
ditto
thank the gods for the epic store, go make 18% more money you beautiful bastards
they deserve it
Trailer looks great. Is there a list of platforms yet? Would be sad if this is the first Supergiant game without Linux support.
So for people wondering about Steam, in the FAQ : "If you’d prefer to wait until the game is 100% complete, we expect Hades will eventually be available on a variety of platforms, once Early Access is complete. "
Well, I'd personally reccomend you all to wait until tomorrow to find out what it is properly, see some gameplay perhaps, see if you're gonna buy it or wait till it's released, cause questions right now are kind of iffy
I would just recommend getting the Epic games store to actually say that it will cost $20 instead of Free on the store page, so that people can actually get the correct information for when they want to try out the game
from what i understood looking into it
@covert glen im kinda okay with a lack of huge gameplay diversity because the aesthetic and worldbuilding will always be so fresh, but it looks like while the combat is similar itll be much more of a roguelike
its an isometric roguelike
Hey so uhhhhhh which voice is Logan Cunningham @sgg pls this is important
@livid nimbus I kind of doubt it'd be a roguelike. Roguelite at best.
Looks stunning but as I don’t game on PC I’ve got to be patient for a console release
rougelike/lite is a controversial term tbh
Roguelites are still good
yo is this game gonna be on Steam i'd much rather have it their
FAQ : "If you’d prefer to wait until the game is 100% complete, we expect Hades will eventually be available on a variety of platforms, once Early Access is complete. "
@pastel coral Not saying they ain't, love both genres. @hollow heron Genres are controversial. Nowadays they're subjective even
yeah
It will probably release on other platforms once they have finished the early access of the game
rougelikes being super specific has always bugged me
it says on the page its a roguelike dungeon crawler
So just be patient, and follow the progression and get the game when it is on a platform that you are comfortable with @dawn leaf
hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype
"What is a JRPG?" is a question that haunts me But anyway, since I'm not talking about hades anymore I might as well return to the game awards. Brb
Japanese Role Playing Game
But I want it on all of my platforms right now!
@daring rune again i got not issues with that, but part of the reason i preferred pyre over the two others is because it was FRESH yo. NBA fantasy rituals? count me in. I love the whole chthonic (underworld) aspect of mythology, so this speaks to me, and I'll buy it. still interested in what surprised our supergiant friends have up their sleeves
How can people not know that
@pastel coral but i want to play it now and then ill have to pay for it again on steam
I mean there're people who have to ask "What's an RPG" soo
Just write it in Java because it's cross platform! 
So, quick question - any kind of restrictions for someone who might want to stream this
ok but can we talk about the character design because HHHHH jen zee how are you so powerful
Question: will this game be coming out on other platforms?
what time does it release
java is awful to write
@pastel coral The argument goes further than that. "What makes a JRPG a JRPG? Is it because it's made in Japan? Is it because it's turn based, like the original JRPGs?" I'll legit restrict myself from going further though, out
Java isn't bad to write, it just has ridiculous overhead.
it looks interesting a lot more of a "softer" art style i wasnt sure if i heard logan in there
Am hyped. Loving all what Supergiant made, and roguelites (dead cells, Isaac, risk of rain, etc). So this gonna be awesome 
But yeah i am so hyped
congrats on the announcement guys, game looks good
It speaks volumes that I couldn't tell which of their current games it most resembles.
@median shore It's in the credits 😉
Yeah awesome world premiere. The others were less spectacular and great than yours. Might be biased tho 
just bought it I love supergiant games and roguelites so this is a match made in heaven
ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PET THE DOG
has anyone else gotten it?
Epic keeps rejecting my purchase
and I'm used to early access
I'm downloading it now
Its the only game that has shown gameplay so far
xP
I want to play it so bad
Bring back Luna!
besides among trees
i think we broke the site
that one looked dope too
@balmy sigil might be just severes aren't handling it well
i dropped everything when i saw supergiant though
^TBH
But this will be interesting.
The artstyle of Supergiant games have always been beautiful and the gameplay in each game is always its own thing so I can't wait to actually see how Hades ends up being
My friend i was in a vc was like jedder CALM DOWN
Hades go to PS4 when??
yeah ngl.. .like.. i'm mainly just focusing on this... like... everything is cool and all but u h h h Hades?? 
tfw cannot find the credits
man I was fully, 100% on the Smash Bros hype train
let us pet the dog
yeah ikr
New icon hype
please
any system requirements ??
but then Supergiant just goes "NAH HADES TIME"
So there was mention of music on YouTube?
because holidays start next week
i also want to pet the dog
Thanks Supergiant for being so awesome ❤ hopefully your day/night gonna be great
I want to play The Boy and I want to pet the dog
that is all I want out of life now
is there any chance for early access on ps4?
Icon chaneg
let 👏 us 👏 pet 👏 the 👏 dog 👏
^
DOG AS FRIEND FOR INP
YES
INP AND DOG...TOGETHER
I NEED TO MAKE A NEW DOG BOT
BOUND TOOOOOOOGETHEEEEEER
didn't they say something about testing the early access for free?
Smash or Hades? Im getting both and losing my house
PETS IN A BRAID, TILL THEEEE EEEEEEND
I LOVE THIS
@warm zenith #worth
I was going to go partying tonight but I’m spending that on Hades now
DOG BOT!!!!
R u proud Greg
DOG BOT!!!
R u proud
will hades be available on steam?
I've bought bastion transistor and pyre full price but I'm not buying hades if it's only on epics store
IM ALREADY HYPED
MY HEART WONT STOP BEATINF OUT OF MY CHEST
I need to figure out how to afford Hades lol
I wasn't ready!!! But I'm happy 
I was not expecting this lol
Is the early access or???
hey so when can i buy this i missed the full trailer i just saw the supergiant logo
" we expect Hades will eventually be available on a variety of platforms, once Early Access is complete."
I’m so ready
yay!
@dense drum Right now in early access on epic games store.
You can buy the Early access of it now @dense drum on the Epic Games store
no steam = no buy
on my way downloading
Gonna hold off buying for now, but to everyone getting it now I cant wait to hear about it and see gameplay soon! And to everyone at supergiant thank you for gracing us with this as quickly as you did, love y'all.
is it too early to ask who voices protag
I'M HYPE
I wouldn't say that a game not being on steam makes it a no buy
Congrats on the launch. Supergiant + Greek mythology is a buy for me :)
does Logan Cunningham voice Hades himself?
I can’t wait to see all the Gods designs
sounds like him to me
Logan voices my thoughts
@lucid plover obviously
I love how versatile that man is
i'm excited for both supergiant AND supporting a steam competitor
whew
Is it assured that it will not be on Steam ever? Not really familiar with these kinds of things
he can go from RRRRRRRREADER to "Hey, Red, we're not gonna get away with this, are we?"
not installing crap DRM for one game
also if it does come to steam then I wasted a purchase when I could have just bought it once through steam
jen zee never fails to impress
HEY REAL TALK
I would DIE to cosplay some of these designs, is there any way to get the dseigns?
their page says its DRM free
besides like, the trailers, would there be any way to get the full designs?
its drm free
probably not yet
figures sadly
patience children
hype hype
the supergiant gods shall bless us soon enough
I need to cosplay the gods
SAME
theyre gorgeous 
I love them every single one
Legit favourite developers putting out a new game
^
Y'all changed the discord icon too!
@autumn meteor SAME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU DO ❤
As someone who loves greek mythology, all 3 of supergiant games and my favorite game is Darkest Dungeon, another rogue-like dungeon crawler. This is my dream game.
@wet bay YOU FREAKIN KNOW IT
Superegiant is literally just the best game devs so I'm so hyped for this you could not believe
I had an actual breakdown when i saw supergiant come on screen
amazing art style
Supergiant games have always had an amazing art style
can we talk about the trailer theme? what a janky fun time signature
Supergiant Games are literally the best game devs ever - as said in the Supergiant Games discord
well color me surprised
i mean they are
but still
oh my god this combines my two favourite things, greek mythology and supergiant
side note. if you guys after launching it to play, and it freezes, task panel it and then launch it again and resume the download
I just wanna say... Jen Zee is a god
Hey Supergiant will I have an option to be able to pet the dog in the trailer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am wayyyyy to hyped
im super stoked
there we are

@olive bone I mean it's pretty much there.
Plus... it's Early Access. Plenty of time to add more pet moments
Were we allowed to stream the game?
Well I'm losing my mind
Is it weird that I am already sitting down to gather a small FAQ to send in this message to possibly be pinned?
❤ 🐶
It is in Early Access, so it will probably be announced at a later date when they know more about their progression
Early Access games never go out of early access
xD
@alpine ore You can absolutely stream it!
So I got lodged in a wall, is that a tech support thing?
People already are!
can we get it in steam?
ETA on a soundtrack?
You will be able to get the game on steam after release most likely @warm swallow
anyone get the game running?
@grand yoke Yes! You can actually use the command "!bug I got stuck in a wall" and include a screenshot in the #h1-tech-support channel it'll be tracked on our side!
@vestal lodge ❤
this game coming to steam?
hmm so if i buy early accses can i get steam key when relese ?

Also this is going to sound really stupid, but how do I do the second run?

Yo did they just go "what if we just combine all three games into one?"?
@alpine ore I have one more question that I need to add, I just need to get the answer for it first
THANK U GREG AAAA
I literally just came to stop by and say Hades has such beautiful art design and I'm crying
THERE'S A DATING SIM ELEMENT
Awww @slim fable ❤
DATING!!!!!
I just hope I don't get too nit picky about every tiny thing that might innacurate to Greek mythology
the game was free for a limited time or was a web bug?
I may have picked a specific game as my fav supergiant game but goddang i love them all transistor is just extra special too me
Also that voice actor for the main character sounded super familiar and idk why. Y'all are doing a great job
@split fiber bug
I was about to try and upload a picture of it, and I failed miserably ;-;
But the Question is Can I stream the game, or make content for different platforms? @alpine ore
Glad I'm only 40 minutes late, MORE than ready to try this sucker out and help give feedback!
The answer is most likely Yes, but better be safe than sorry
@slim fable it is probably Logan
@pastel coral I got the answer, yes you can stream, i asked earlier and morgan said yes ^-^
Is there a possibility of Epic Games early access owners getting a Steam Key at release?
I want to join EA but love to play my games on Steam.
Ah, fantastic
Logan has a shapeshifter of a voice
Will add that to the massive Q&A post then
@slim fable Logan Cunningham whom is the regular voice actor for fx. the narrator in bastion, the guy from the transistor
and of course the voice in pyre
RRRRRRRRREADER
Thank you for the info! I'm going to look him up now!
DARE YOU TAMPER WITH FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE?
Oh baby, this is gonna be good
we be going
This is awesome sauce i love this community
i was gonna buy katamari today so i can't get hades quite yet
Honestly so hyped for the new game ;-;
Well, I am new here, I am just quick at gathering information @alpine ore :P
but im excited for hot demon man fighty supergiant
hi, just a quick question -- if i buy Hades when it's in EA, can I get a steam/GOG key once it goes on those platforms as well or would I need to purchase it a second time? the FAQ was a bit unclear about that
I can't make myself hit the play button I don't wanna stop listening to the main menu music
Once the game is out of Early Access it will be released on other platforms most likely @marble sphinx, so you would be able to buy a GOG or Steam copy of the game then
While the game is in Early Access it will only be on the Epic Games store
Well, honestly, the art and everything looks so cool. My laptop broke so I can't play it until I get it repaired. ;-; Do you guys have a basic team of artists that have social media links?
I'm obsessed with the style, so cool
did they upload the music anywhere yet?
But will you get the game on steam after it releases?
Probably.... and with the ost if thats an option
Currently the information is that you will have to buy the game on the other platforms after release
ah ok, thank you
Yo i just heard the news and why is hades always a god damn hunk in any media interpitation. hot damn.
styx bot.....
Right?????? ^
you can be anything you want in godbank
i like hooded dude already https://66.media.tumblr.com/361d15efe143c8bc8f80602818c656db/tumblr_inline_pjcka24oNG1qgptc9_1280.png
Except Hephaestus 😦
looks like Ron 2 is Poseidon
BLESS MY SOUL HERC WAS ON A ROLE :>
Someone create a fandom that's comprised solely of people sexual oriented solely to gods
Hades is the best dating sim ever
lol
omg
requirements says windows, this is based off the epic games store site for Hades
I believe that the gods it shows (in order of appearance) are Hades, whoever Hades son is (who might be a demigod), Athena, Poseidon, Aphrodite, and someone else
@mighty ginkgo if you read the FAQ it says its basically a mashup of all their 3 former games
Percy jackson expansion when 
Oh god, that's even better
it seems like they're doing the pyre "add more characters than they can get VO-s for via just text" thing
please tell me Logan narrates our failures as Hades himself
per a friend, if you've managed to cast sunkrish again i have to fly to CA and kiss you
i think the last goddess might be Nyx?
like, you collectively, on her behalf, the supergiant building i guess
just going off the bat wings
@maiden fiber He narrates, and he's Hades, but they're different characters!
you don't have to be there ig, i could come kiss the building on a sunday or something
Whose idea was it to early access* the day before Smash? lol
oh! That's really exciting 😄
wait....
Early access, not full release @steep dirge
Hades is already out?
I really apologize if this has been asked - but is this only planned for PC or others planned as well?
That's fair
H
@vestal lodge T.....TWO LOGAN???
HADES!?
and i assume the PC is Zagreus
You can buy it on the Epic games store @mighty ginkgo, and by that I mean Now, at this moment
TWO OF THEM?????????
@vestal lodge Wait did you just say Darren Korb is doing narration and major voice acting in this game?
playhades.com to get directly to it
think it'll be released for Switch?
this is getting out of hand! Now there are two of him!
@remote saffron Darren does some too yeah

Last Updated December 6, 2018: Here are answers to frequently asked questions about our fourth game, Hades!
What is Hades?
Hades is a rogue-like dungeon crawler from the creators of Bastion and...
hmmm... i havn't been able to play yet for reasons of forgot my epic password and am now locked out for 2 hours but... does that mean companion character... because it would awesome to have a companion character
By the way if/when I get it from Epic Games will I be able to launch Hades on its own or does Epic Games have its own frontend?
Watch your language please!
@vestal lodge thanks - sorry to be a bother
Ooh my bad
found the FAQ on the site, but this one seems to be different
@remote saffron It has its own launcher which you'll need to purchase and update the game. It can be launched from Windows once it's installed. Since we're in Early Access it'll be updated frequently though!
So, Hades has its own launcher, or Epic Games does?
This is so hype
If Hades has its own launcher then yes good
So if i install Hades and then uninstall the epic games launcher, will Hades still run?
my wallet is screaming because it's probably about to send $60 to SGG very soon
bastion+transistor on switch and now hades
Epic Games has its own launcher
Ah, okay
Not Hades
Do you have plans to bring the game to Steam?
Yes, after the game leaves Early Access
It will go on multiple platforms at that point
I hope it comes to Switch too!
Fair enough
So this has probably been asked already, but if we buy the game on Epic, will we also have to purchase it when it comes out on steam?
I think so
apparently you will have to buy it a second time
Yes, as per the information we have at this point you will have to buy it a second time
i wouldn't mind paying $40 to support my favorite game developer
All of this might be subject to change over time however, but don't assume that it will happen
Pretty disappointed with the choice to have an (admittedly timed) exclusive on another store
which is disappointing, cause i don't want to have to go through the epic store/launcher for just one game
STEAM?????
Eh, it's their game
i think i own 4 copies of Bastion, 3 of Transistor, and 2 of Pyre lol
Yea, I'll probs do it anyways cause I love Supergiant, I was just curious
Steam or no buy
As long as it eventually comes to Steam I am happy
any reason as to why it went onto the EPIC Games launcher?
oh totally, if i could transfer it to steam once it goes there i'd buy it rn no questions asked
They get 80% of the revenue
they probably got a better deal from Epic rather than Valve
yeah valve are not good to indies so i don't blame them
cool,
not surprising since Epic seems to be pushing their store recently
Is it time to update the small Q&A I made?
I'll still buy Hades on Switch probably
I think it is
I hope this competition pushes valve to make some big changes
There are more people using steam. Only people that use epic game launcher play fortnite....
no, Epic Games is also the home of Unreal Engine
Steam has never had competition
Please don't complain, this is just to share information ❤
Q: Will the game release on other platforms that the Epic Games store?
A: Yes, but only after the game leaves Early Access
Q: How can I play the game now?
A: You can go to the website playhades.com and buy it on the Epic Games store today, and you will get to play through the game as the developers make changes and makes the game ready to leave Early Access
Q: How much does the game cost?
A: It costs $20, and you will get all the free updates for the game up to, and after the game releases on the Epic Games store
Q: Will I get a free copy of the game if I buy it on the Epic store when the game releases on Steam?
A: As per the information we currently have available, you will have to buy the game for a second time once it releases on the other arenas
Q: Will the game be available on steam?
A: Most likely, and it will cost $20 once it releases there.
Q: Will the game be on other platforms after release?
A: Yes, it will be available on a multitude of platforms after the game leaves Early Access
Q: Can we pet the dog?
A: Possibly, the game is still in Early access, features can still be added.
Q: Can I stream the game, or make content for different platforms?
A: Yes, you are allowed to make any content you like and publish it on any platform you prefer
Q: Can I play this on a Mac, or is this only for PC at the moment?
A: It is only available for Windows at the moment, but a Mac version is still possible in the future
Q: Does the game have DRM?
A: NO, the game is completely DRM free
Q: I love the soundtrack, where can I get it?
A: Currently you can listen to the soundtrack on the YouTube channel for the devs, here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/user/supergiantgames
Q: Is this a singleplayer game?
A: Yes, yes it is. In the genre of a Rogue Like / Rogue Lite (varies on your preferred definition)
@clever flume if gog couldn't do it, i doubt epic can tbh
But now that EPIC and Discord are doing their own things now
you should add that as sticky
GOG specialized in older games I think
I am not a mod or anything like that though, I am just someone who is taking some time to collect this information
@clever flume they did/do try to pick up new indies as well, sometimes
Perhaps I give valve too much credit hoping that they will one day change
@pastel coral I really appreciate it!
Is Hades a single-player game? I hope it is.
Yes

I must say, of all the people to come out and announce a roguelike, Supergiant was not on that list so I am pleasantly surprised
man id love to get my hands on some early access but id much rather have in on steam than on epic. now thats a dilemma
I was not expecting an announcement at all for a few months, very pleasant surprise
Roguelikes are one of my favorite genres and Supergiant is one of my favorite indies so this is really tempting
Well, this is just to make it easier for the people who need easy access to the information, and possibly for mods to easily sort through if needed for them @vestal lodge. Happy to help
I am wondering if you do purchase the early access is it only for PC at the moment or does it work with other platforms as well
i mean i didn't see it coming but i also didn't see them announcing a sportsball game
I'm sick and tired of downloading so many clients. I only ever get games from steam and gog.
but here we are
So excited, but I think I’m going to wait until after early access
yeah same
Thanks!
I picked it up immediately lol.
You will find a lot of information about the game, and release of it if you scroll up to my massive wall of text slightly above @lone locust
😭
27%
just downloaded :3
k thank you @pastel coral
I just got the email!!! Will Hades be out on steam when it's fully released?
Yes
I hope there are plans to extend the early accsess to steam
THank gosh ok
Once it is fully released it will go onto multiple platforms
It is a Supergiant game after all 😛
Reading through their site it’s still a WIP game
How far through development is it?
It is in Early Access yes @shadow owl
@rough mirage Still pretty early! We started after we launched Pyre, so a little over a year. We expect to support it through Early Access for some time!
20 different characters right now and a relatively polished game from the footage so we got that going for us
Looks absolutely beautiful as always though
who else is about to play Hades for hours after the game awards ???
How many hours long is it estimated to be right now?
The music is so much hype as well
not me ;-;. All my disposable income is in my steam wallet because I'm dumb but as soon as I can I'll get it!
Will be launch on steam?
yeah
why not both? 😄
presumably it'll launch everywhere once it's finished
I can't concentrate on Bastion and new reveals at the same time D:
Is the soundtrack available for purchase with early release? 😂
It will launch on a lot of platforms after release at least @mighty stratus
Ah thx
Is this going to be on Steam?
It is not out yet, but it will be on the YouTube channel as soon as possible
Yes @red glade
But after the Early access
Thank goodness
merch and music will most likely drop closer to the release
a mod should probably pin Redray's faq
Redray is the real MVP
^
I love supergiant games, cant wait to play this one
Just out of curiosity, I know the game is currently in Early Access, but does the Epic Games version have any form of DRM, and if so, will there be any plans for a GOG release similar to Pyre and previous games?
No DRM
DRM Free
laughs in Steam
They are planning to release on Steam and others when out of early access
Epic is DRM Free???
NO DRM, and it will release on multiple platforms after the Early Access
But it’s only on windows now?
Yes, only on Windows for now
oh, epic is drm free huh
Awesome! I'm a huge fan of Supergiant Games' work. Knowing that the Epic Games launcher doesn't require DRM, I'll see about picking up Hades asap
fair enough, that seals it for me
hey why is hades so hot
Because he is Hades
^^^^
Just want to say these exist

Lol that was my first thought @wooden quartz
I wont lie im pretty sad i cant get early access on steam :( will probably wait for full release just to get it on steam so i dont double pay
@ashen sky true
I'm sad it's only on Epic, if it were on Discord i'd buy the EA in a heartbeat
he should be gay tbh
I mean if the epic games one is DRM free, I dont see why you cant just download it via epic and then uninstall the launcher
Completely understandable, but you can always stick around and watch the development of the game @ashen sky
Besides, from the little I have been here, this seems like a nice community as well
@proper canyon updates?
Some questions about Hades- is it pausable like Transistor, or real-time only like Bastion?
Oh I'm dumb, thanks
@proper canyon i don't support epic after they all but abandoned the PVE in fortnite after i'd paid $40 for it
I am old enough to remember how people hated on steam as well at first
cause I did it as well 😂
Makes sense
oh yeah, if it were on steam id buy it in like right now. but i dont think i can justify buying it on a plataform ive never used and probably never will when i already have all my games on steam already
i do hate steam but, like, it beats using five launchers
which is lazy of me but whatever
The Genre is traditionally turn based @wooden grail
My only problem is that steam is the only platform that has regional pricing
I understand that, kinda hate launchers too
just picked up hades
Yes, but the preview vid certainly didn't look turn based
very excited to check i out
If epic got regional pricing, I'd buy it right now
Same I’d get it on steam. But I also have Mac and ps4 so I know I’m an outlier..pls don’t hurt me lol
it's not even a problem with launchers, it's a problem i don't like Epic lol
one definition of roguelikes has strict rules that the game clearly doesn't confine with
@red glade that too
and therefore you can assume its not turn based
I have too much love for sgg, I would even buy this game from windows store 😄
well they're clear that hades is a roguelite, not a roguelike proper
@vestal lodge maybe disable reactions in #hades-faq ?
sorry to ping but i think that's relevant
HEY i dont mean to jump into this conversation out of nowhere but i would like to bring to everyones attention the fact that our main character kind of looks like a homestuck troll thanks for coming to my ted t
i cant believe you made me read that with my own two eyes
that wasn't inspiration, whomever just reacted in the faq channel
KLMSNJBDVGHSJNLKJBKDHJV
youre right tho
I was about to say I knew the game you were referencing
then I realized where I was
dare you tamper with forbidden knowledge?
this guy is nico di angelos trollsona! im sorry but i just spoiled the big climactic plot twist in hades for everyone
im laughing so hard ATM
Hey does anyone know if Hades is only available on PC? I've got a mac and a ps4, and I don't know if early access supports those...
So, people who have actually played hades. Is it pausable or not?
It is only available on PC while it is in Early Access, but when it releases it will release on multiple platforms, so you can probably play it on Mac and PS4 @lilac tundra
@wooden grail It's real time
Thanks Morgan!
@mild sun Good call!
Ah well. Guess I miss out on early access then
You can still watch the development of the game ^-^
this server's blown up in size since the release
it's crazy
(I'm one of those newbies)
Same
Yeah, I'm absolutely going to be keeping tabs on it, it's just sad I won't get a chance to try it out myself
nyello
I’ve always been a lurker but I’m super excited
I had no idea supergiant had a discord tbh
I didn't even know they had a Discord or I would've been here loong ago
^^^
^^
.... k, I clearly shouldnt start new games when im dead tired... but it sounds like some of teh gods talk too fast?
Use the command !feedback to get it registered as well
i can totally type on phone... thanx!!
so #h1-discussion is "HYPEHYPEHYPE"
#hades-feedback-closed is "dis animation broke"
#h1-tech-support is "how to intall"
You can use the command anywhere, but we'd prefer to keep topics confined more or less to the relevant channels!
Listen to the mods, they are the competent ones here (compared to me that is)
I have bought and is downloading the launcher ;-;
We do appreciate the help though, @pastel coral ! thank you for compiling the faq 😃
I just noticed the email with the game and I'm equal parts excited and scared. I trust SG to not release things they're not proud of, but early access makes me super nervous. I take it there's already been way too much discussion about it and I'm not adding much to the pile?
Whatever @pastel coral you should be honorary mod 😁
why honorary? :)
whens the full expected release date aka when ill be able to play it on my dinky macbook
At least for tonight until they make him a real one hah
All I did was collect questions already posted here, and the answers to make it easier to look up.
I have already done it for another game that I absolutely adore, so I have some experience in that area :P
Haha, we appreciate any and all help of course!
As a for a full release date, nothing on that yet
new to epic launcher I bought the game but still can't download and I am using the beta launcher
But I think they should take some more time, and not take me in instantly.
It is a better decision to wait, see how I do over time, and then make a final decision once I have made it clear that I am to be trusted, and is a good candidate for the role.
Getting mod less than an hour after joining is not the best decision unless a majority of the Mod team or the people higher up can actually vouch for your abilities in the area
Check tech support!
There is technically a mod application process but currently we have a fairly full compliment; in the future, SGG may look for more mods though!
EA only makes me nervous if I don't have prior trust built up
shoot, is EA going to be available for Mac soon ™ ?
@Morgan, glad to be of assistance
and roguelites also have balance being super important, and there's only so far you can get without EA tbh
It will probably be closer to Release @kindred laurel, nothing confirmed yet as the game is still in an early stage

They need to focus on a single platform and get the gameplay fully operational first, and then port it over to different platforms. It will only mean that you get a more polished experience on your mac once it is available to you
And Supergiant Games are some of the most polished, and beautiful experiences out there
At least from my experiences :P
Big feel
TRUTH
I know other people have already said it so I'm not bringing anything new to the table, but I would buy the game in a heartbeat if it was EA on Steam or if you get a Steam key when it releases there after EA. Having to buy it twice just to have it on Steam with 99.99 % of all other games in existence is kind of a bummer. I absolutely love SGG but I might just have to wait for release then.
Dumb question: hades is the son, but who is the dad in the trailer? Or is the dad Hades? I don’t remember a lot about Greek lore
is there a roadmap for hades or future updates/content planned
okay so I wasnt expecting this game at all
the dad is Hades
And they have nothing against you for that @unkempt storm, they are giving people an option to play the game early, but they also understand that their players want to get the game on their preferred storefront.
I hope you stick around to follow the development of the game, and that you can get excited for when it releases on steam ^-^
and am super hype for it
Ok just like, HYPE
@sour nebula Not at this time, but that's a good idea
but they have content / updates planned right?
Yes
We have many planned!
I was so not expecting this annoucnement but when I saw thew server icon change I was like "what" and now aaaaa
ok cool gonna buy
So I know the soundtrack will be up on YouTube soon but will it be added to Spotify like the past games as well?
It should be just like the other games when it releases @vale brook
@pastel coral I know 😃 I don't have to buy it in EA and that's fine. I'll buy it day 0 on Steam and look very much forward to it!
just notice the skulls on is shoulders they cerberus?
@vale brook I imagine it'll make it to Spotify at some point in the future.
Possibly sooner if the soundtrack is complete beforehand and they can't hold it back any longer
@unkempt storm That's respectable!
Medico, there will likely be a lot of streams and blog updates, as well as updates here from folks playing it in early access, so you can look forward to that!
Region lock in korea 😢 when will we be able to buy this game?
Awesome, I mainly listen there and I always love Darren Korb ❤
If I ever have time I'd like to Stream it for you all 😮
O.O
Sounds awesome Morgan ^-^
Yes pls!
And I don't know if anyone's asked yet but is there any plan to bring Hades to switch too?
so I heard two voices in this trailer? So more voice actors?
It will be released on multiple platforms after release @hoary veldt, because of how important the switch is for indie titles, I will almost guarantee that it will release there
aaaaaa I'm just so stoked my night got like 20x better now
But keep in mind that nothing is confirmed in terms of the other platforms
kid just hades for a while
Right - no word yet, and I'm sure it will depend partly on where the switch is once the game is fully released, and what the console market looks like
I’m heading off- but I’m so pumped for this game. Love everything SG does and can’t wait to play and be immersed in another world and cry over another story ❤️
^^^^^^^^^^^^
See you later ❤
Will hades see a console release during early access?
No
refer to faq
I didn't see it in the faq on the site, sorry
oh no?
The Early access is for the PC version, but they plan to release on multiple platforms after the Early Access
I don't think there's any word right now but my uninformed opinion would be "no"
let me get that part
Yeah
If I buy the game early access on Epic, will that be transferrable to a Steam version later down the line? Or will I have to buy it again to have on Steam?
Does more platforms mean it'll eventually make it to steam as well? I want to get in on the early access, but I'd rather not rebuy the game if it makes it to steam later
Same here
lol, same question
You will have to buy it again on the new platforms
On a follow up, if I buy the game when it inevitably comes to Steam, will I have to buy it again when it comes to Switch like I had to do for Bastion and Transistor?
I'd love to support and provide feedback and I'd love to see what they've got in store
yes Rurikid
@void tangle I would assume so
I understand that cashgrabs are cool and all, but why?
The difference machines thing makes sense
My Epic account is linked to my Nintendo account and I'm sure Epic could link to Steam as well.
Game has to be ported and changed
But the cross-distribution-platform thing is a little odd
does anyone know if its coming to consoles or is this going to be a PC exclusive?
@strong junco #hades-faq
my bad!
@void tangle buying games on different platforms generally doesn’t transfer
Yeah I get that, and I'm really not trying to be difficult. I think I've bought Bastion 10 times by now for myself and friends. It's just a quality of life feature at this point.
And I don’t think it’s fair to call it a cash grab
It is at least what we currently know @void tangle, some things might change during development, but at this point we have to go with the limited information we have
There is extra labor that goes into porting, of course, and distribution fees. Not as many as there used to be for physical distribution. Rights issues and distribution of profits probably determines a lot of where stuff ends up and whether it can be transferred
@void tangle It's very reasonable to want to wait for the game to release for your platform of choice!
I honestly might buy it twice
I already am
@clever flume honestly I actually would prefer to give the $20 to supergiant directly without Epic as an intermediary, it's one of the things that make me nervous about EA. I don't need yet another game launcher in my life.
So much getting it on steam its my main platform
but i just gotta support my favs from the start
Anybody knows when it would be available in Korea? It's region locked for now 😢
@vestal lodge
We sadly don't have any info on that now, that might be something the Devs can speak of, either that or it is connected to Epic Games
Yeah I really want to support the game and get it to completion for other people
@hardy turtle Is the region locking an Epic Games issue?
@hardy turtle I'm not sure!
I don't know it's strange, I don't mind buying extra copies for friends and family but because I bought the games on Steam I really don't want to buy them on the Switch as well, even though I feel like the experience would be better served on the Switch.
Ok Thanks anyway 😃
GUYS
Ok... I take back all of my complaints. MingoFrog must be in real pain right now.
I don't know what I'd do.
sorry for the caps lock rofl, i'm so happy for this game
@hardy turtle We'll look into it for sure
It is not strange, you want to bring the game with you where you are, but unfortunately we just don't have any information that can answer you in a satisfying way now @void tangle
Darn you, Supergiant, releasing a new game in the middle of exam period. ;_;
Just kidding. I love you guys and your high quality content.
Who needed sleep anyways?
Yes I know @pastel coral, like I said I'm really not trying to be combatative I love SuperGiant, I'm really just expressing aspirations at this point
@vestal lodge Thank you 😃 I will be waiting for good news!
All good
Let's be honest, I'm going to buy it anyway
so basically it will be a sort of Binding of Isaac? Where you play, slay, unlock skills, die and repeat? I love that type of gameplay
I hope the story doesn’t get old though,
I hope that the variance will be an opportunity for new sub plots perhaps?
@indigo tartan That's a pretty good comparison
That was kind of my immediate worry too but I'm sure there's something in store!
at least of the core loop of the game!
Different side characters each run( to a degree) I hope
Binding of Isaac, Enter the gundeon and things like that
That is the style this game is made for (I think)
There seems to be an emphasis on playing a lot of different ways in the FAQ so I imagine that was a focus
can't say much until I try it out of course, but
@vestal lodge okay so, I think someone is going to fail his next exam...
you know nothing 😦 i'm going to pass
@void tangle I hear you, and understand where you're coming from! Unfortunately I don't think there's too much more we can say either way about how something like platform-transfers would work, since we aren't technically platform owners, or operating at that level.
summer holidays just started for me 
I Hurd redray was causing mechife
btw, it's 6am here I really gotta go. If I manage to, I'll get the game tomorrow, prepare for some massive feedback rofl
love you all ❤
It is 6 am for me as well @indigo tartan XD
I need to sleep so bad ahah @pastel coral
Then sleep
cya 😉
The server will still be here for you tomorrow ❤
That is not important @fiery sluice
Yes it is
Does this game have a lot of story at this point?
i rly hope so!
bought the game just now! SGG always surprised w/ insane quality, im sure theyll do this time aswell!
@pastel coral #off-topic-discussion
I've been watching the trailer over and over and crying
Keep in mind that the game is not finished yet, and still Early access
@sullen yew It has story for sure, and the story will continue to expand and evolve through Early Access development
Awww @modern valley ❤
I will pick it up when I get the time
I just have the trailer on loop lmao
Since it's a roguelite, how similar are the mechanics to isaac because that is the one ive played the most
are there items that change attacks
infinite replayability?
Defy the god of death in this rogue-like dungeon crawler from the creators of Bastion and Transistor. Play now in Early Access at: www.PlayHades.com More Inf...
well it looks like our grounded demigod boi can pick up to three variants of a cool thing Zeus hands him
so yeah seems like it
@vestal lodge Maybe you should explain some things here
Lot of build variety by the looks of things
@hardy turtle What is the exact error message you're getting?
Just Curious are there plans to realese an art book for hades at some point ?
Or is the game just not appearing in the Epic Store?
SGG hasn't released any art books of any games so far; I'd say no
Bummer oh well still a worthy investment mabye one day
they are the worst releasing a game while my computer is in the shop 
Any hope of it coming to steam at some point? Because I really don't want to split up my stuff to a new launcher.
@red glade There are items that change attacks! It is infinitely playable! We're going to be adding much more content as the game evolves too 😄
@rigid pond #hades-faq
@sacred nymph My bad!
@vestal lodge Yeah when I connect to www.PlayHades.com It says "This games is not available in your region yet."
The graphics are really out of the Park this time you guys
@vestal lodge Wow I'm beyond excited, an infinte game by supergiant
Thanks @hardy turtle !!!!!
😃
@vestal lodge I’ll forgive you this time...!
just launched the game and i am alrdy amazed by the music!
I can’t wait to add the pin you guys make of this to my collection.
so goood~
Hopefully you will get to play the game in no time @hardy turtle ^-^
In the meanwhile enjoy the community
Darren really comes through every time.
y honestly
It sucks that epic store doesn't have regional pricing. I'm sadly going to have to wait for the steam release to play this one.
Does it not? It was showing 2,100 jpy for me
I’ll be drawing fanart tomorrow youuuuu just wait
Does not for India
Oh 😦
Aww, what a bummer @red glade, hope they get regional pricing before then ❤
Thank you @pastel coral I'm just glad that next SGG game already came out! I Thought It will be out like 2020.
Hades isn't available in my region.
It's a new store, so I guess it makes sense it's not everywhere yet
Where are you located @wanton wasp
@vestal lodge another region lock
This is somewhat a facetious question but on a scale from 1-10 how much will Hades be better than Diablo Immortal?
@pastel coral mainland China
Ok, so it might be something connected to the Asian markets
Seems to be fine in Japan
I played Transistor because of TotalBiscuit and became a fan of SGG ever since, makes me sad he won't get to play Hades
When it comes to Korea and China I mean
Yeah haha
It is sad, but at least I got to see Genna snark over the game awards this year @red glade
@red glade That makes me so so sad too
Hey uh maybe I’m just stupid but how do I return back to Tartarus after I die?
TB was an amazing person, he had his flaws, but he was always there for the game developers that deserved the support, and he always stood up for the consumer
He was a giant in the game industry, and I don't see anyone taking his place anytime soon
But this is not really on topic is it
no not really. i mean we're talking about a dead person in the hades channel though so.. m maybe a little?
Ohhh, it is just perfect considering the humor the person had
sky > land/computer > purgatory > hell
🤔
Okay but we're gonna pretend that was a proper Supergiant trailer without any Ashley Barrett? @primal plinth
im honestly sirprised there wasnt any singing in the new trailer
85% because of it.
guess they didnt wana reveal all their cards just yet
Their backrow is full and it's all hidden.
The held cards better be some Ashley vocals for a playable female character. 😛
Ashley has been an in-universe singer for THREE GAMES IN A ROW, maybe she's tired 😂 😂
right??
It'll be like a paul mccartney solo album without her.
inb4 15 years later "oh hey it's the supergiant games singing girl"
youre right
absolute lads
Found out about Hades just a few minutes ago and hit purchase with zero hesitation. Can't wait, keep up the great work Supergiant.
Recently bought in to Hades as soon as I found out about it. Does anyone know if there is controller support currently?
There is, yes!
That's what I love most about Supergiant. Most would buy them without even blinking
All controllers should be supported
It's kind of weird
I'd say it's a quality>quantity case but
one game every two years consistently?
i mean they dont dissappoint ever so why hestitate? :D
here's hoping they have better lgbt rep lmfao
small, dedicated team with reasonable expectations of what they can make reusing a lot of architecture between games
Yeah they even make a basketball visual novel one of my most memorable games. Instant purchase.
some things don't need to be subtle or left up to interpretation
I guess they do make it reusing architecture now that I think about it
they reuse a TON of architecture between games, yeah
wait what
idm though, as long as they do it right?
okay actualyl nevermind i'll hold myself off+
some of pyre's canon pairings still leave a bad taste in my mouth
Darren be workin’ hard
also @quick sun reusing stuff isn't innately bad yeah
yeah for sure!
i'm just saying what it means is they're more freed from technical concerns
the resources they're using are flexible enough to allow for multiple kinds of games
yeah I assumed you meant background stuff, engine level stuff
I have yet to spot a reused asset
right, no i mean technical stuff haha
hi there supergiant, thank you so much for making everyone in this game incredibly hot
though there is asset reuse in terms of some effects?
lighting effects, dust effects, etc
also they got their distinctive artstyle and the so incredibly awesome music!
^^^^^^^
can we get a round of "HOT DAMN"s for Jen's art?
yeah, jen's art keeps getting better and better
for the underworld bishies
emphasis on hot
hot damn,
hot damn
Speaking of hot, this album is nothing but fire
but yeah
Hawt damn?
I'm kind of worried they're gonna lose a bunch of progress in a giant fire in their studios
hey SG, just wanted to pop by and thank you for this awesome new game 
I just played for an hour and I'm already loving it so much!
YOU HAVE MY TWENTY!
I'm assuming it's an Early Access in the style of Secrets of Grindea?
Hell, Darren has some RANGE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oll7pr4JVTQ
Play now in Early Access at: https://goo.gl/aMFcbB
also @olive jungle
yesss?
cheers for watching over chat instead of playing
some sounds and vfx from pyre in here
Lament of Orpheus is fantastic
someone's gotta do it
He's going higher than Ashley did in We All Become
I'll buy this game as many times as I need 
I can get away with having chat open, but not with gaming
lmao playing at office desk work
Favorite piece so far is Orpheus and Final Expense
Play now in Early Access at: https://goo.gl/aMFcbB
hey ive been playing all the supergiant a mac for a while do you guys have any idea if its gonna come to that or is this one just going to be on windows for a while?
god i want to click that on SO hard but i'll restrain myself
@buoyant plank I think that's adressed in the FAQ?
@buoyant plank No word yet, sorry!
Yeah
yeah
Getting some big time Bastion vibe from Out of Tartarus
thats ok! ill find a way to play! I have loved every supergiant game so far, some of my favs of all time tbh
Play now in Early Access at: https://goo.gl/aMFcbB
Just got done listening to that one ^
I mean personally it seems to be the exact engine from transistor with some code changed so I wouldnt see why not
I think that just squeezed in for favorite. It keeps changing lol
how do i get out of the first room?
Hello all. I just played the game for a little while, and it looks so good in person.
I wonder how much story content they have out in the early access
build up your horizontal speed by backwards long jumping until you overcome the speed barrier,
According to Morgan, "a good bit" haha
does hades have cloud saves? if so, are they an epic games launcher thing
keep in mind to only do a half A press
But there is a definitive end to it right now
I can't wait to buy this soundtrack on CD and Vinyl too 
@pastel quarry Thanks for playing!
Oh, so there's an actual end to the current version?
yo where can i buy the soundtrack its sooo GOOOD
Well, you can only progress to a certain point, yes
early access soundtrack 
Oh, pfft, gotcha.
It's replayable, I'm sure, but after a certain point you can't progress further because, early access, you know.
@ionic valve Cloud saves would be an Epic side thing. We're hoping to find out if and when they will exist
StS has a great Soundtrack and that games still in Early Access
cool, thanks for the info morgan. me and another dev were wondering if they were offering that yet
Interpreted it as "you can end, credits roll, then Supergiant gives you a stomach-puncher of a send-off song"
Im kind of curious if we'll get a steam key for buying early access.
Mr Morgan Man I want the Soundtrack to ur newest game where can i buy that
*when the full game is released
Goodnight and thanks for making this one of the best nights ever, while dealing with some tough family medical situations. I'm loving what I've played so far and I'm excited to play more as soon as I can!
@dawn leaf You have to settle for YouTube for now!
@unborn notch Thanks so much for checking it out!
😦
@dawn leaf I'm not sure what we're going to do, since the game isn't done there will be more music.
probably a gun, assuming there is one in the game at some point
Trying to get a feel for the bow but I like the base sword so far
It wouldn't be fair to sell a soundtrack when there will be more music!
thx
havent gotten too far in yet
My god this game is awesome.
(My fave weapon is the shield but idk if it's overpowered...)
ok I caved and bought Hades now I can get that 20 back later
im really enjoying watching people stream hehhh 😄
It's all about gamestyle
I'm a bow girl through and through, if there's a bow in a game i gotta use it no matter how good or bad it is
@olive jungle The bow is maybe my fave too
Man this skull spawning enemy is rough
This game has no DRM, ala Steam?
No DRM!
CHEERS ON THAT
wow.
bow is good
for some reason the game is queued and won't install
sounds like an Epic games thing. Restart it?
Either that or their servers are a bit on load, which I kind of doubt
@hollow bane If you wanted DRM reallllllllllllll bad.. I'm sorry
@hollow bane You'll need it to download and update the game
but it can be launched directly from Windows
@vestal lodge Yeah it is sad. I really would like to have a Derpy Rainbow Manatee.
Actually does steam always put its DRM on its games or is that optional for devs?
Early access from Giants? Does this mean that soon we will hear "We are happy to become part of Microsoft family!"?
Yeah because they need the money for development right now 
i mean, given this game is a roguelite, i can see why community feedback is useful
@lusty cosmos Similarly you need Steam to purchase or update games, but for our games you can run them directly from windows
Oh wow, I did not notice the last three titles didnt even have steam DRM incorporated
I died from leftover bombs after beating the bomb twins 😭
Does hades has controller support?
Im legit dowloading right nowww
We use the same controller support at Pyre, so PS4, Xbox One, 360, Switch Pro, XInput should work
As someone that pirated the last three games when I was on a bad economic point to then buy them later when I was doing better, I really do love the fact that Hades also has no DRM. DRM-free is rare nowadays.
thank god for that FAQ also
yarr
Nyx is Artemis
The bomb twin is OP
Does the game have any mechanics that stand out btw?
Nerf pls :(
Oh yeah, also, does it actually have rogue-lite/like mechanics on it?
a.k.a. "just progression between deaths"
oh, the ost's up, nice
