I wonder if there's going to be a self-crippling ability named Goto.

Yay you finally got Luna. So I've never heard the Transistor say "Get'm Luna!" like you claim to the Help() function. Only in the sandbox when she goes after the beach ball. It does say "Get'm girl!" though, so maybe it's the same Process? The Transistor naming the den resident Luna and Luna's name changing from Process to Luna right there in front of the player was the first time I noticed it did that every time. (IE: Process is Process until the Transistor names it.) So it's cool that he does it! I must have skipped that. I didn't use Help() much.

Oh, that's an interesting little something. Red's "get out of Traverson" comment is I think the first one she's just tossed out there without retyping.

I guess that it's a case where the first reaction is actually one appropriate to the situation from all angles: "hey, there's this disaster, everyone should get the gently caress out of Traverson!" Also, I can't believe I managed to miss an update posted on, what, the 9th? Hope you've had a good holiday, Olive Branch. Look forward to seeing you in January!

The holiday's been great so far. I love government-mandated time off.  The next episode should go up sometime on January 5 or 6, as I had recorded raw footage for two episodes before traveling. All that's needed is to subtitle and process the video.

The way he sounded when he said "wooooo..." after that battle was just...sad and pathetic. Tangent; I think Red didn't actually lose her voice. She probably still has it (which explains the humming, grunts, etc), but I think she lost her ability to speak. Linguistic. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

That seems to be part of the idea behind the Transistor, and the functions thereof. They boil down people to their most defining trait which they then put into the system to 'benefit' everyone. Switch() is from Farrah Yon-Dale, who was a sky painter. Mask() is from an escape artist. Help() is from Sybil who probably genuinely believes that she was helping people. Red's was apparently an unwitting instigator and provocateur. As her singing caused the first riot in years. Somehow the Camarata wanted to utilize that in some way and they extracted her ability into Crash(). And somehow since the Transistor and the Process are able to reduce everyone to data, that's more of a literal CAN_SPEAK=NULL while leaving everything else intact.

I have the next two episodes of the LP currently processing. I've also given the video list in the OP a small makeover as the plan for short, digestible videos isn't quite going to fit the entire game in only 14 or so episodes. This week's update will be a two-for-one because the first half of the playing session was all Sandbox Tests and I know some of you may be more interested in the exploration and story rather than brute fighting.

Much appreciated! I enjoyed the sandbox modes for being little things much like the dreams in Bastion, but I'm very curious about people's reaction to the story, especially as we move into more of the meat of it in future updates.

A couple of small things I've noticed, and I'm wondering if they're significant: Our Significant Other always talks in a whisper, like he's afraid to raise his voice. Even before he got sick, for lack of a better term, he was quiet. When Red hums, she doesn't hum the music like I was expecting. She hums an accompaniment to it. Can she hear the theme music, or is that purely a stylistic choice? Either way, great LP! I'm always happy to see more subtitled LPs out there, especially of games that deserve it.

Videos are ready! Episode 8's beginning is part of the story (as well as mulling on the hammock) but is otherwise all Sandbox stuff. Episode 9 picks up from exiting the Sandbox in this area.  Subject and Limiter data in the OP will be updated sometime later. Olive Branch fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jan 17, 2015 |

Wow, that was awesome. I really liked that little conversation. Its a really cute moment. I must say, the music in this game makes everything seem chill as hell, funny given that everything is going to hell in a hand basket. It also makes combat pretty funny, here's all these things trying to kill you, and there's the music, making me wanna close my eyes and rest.

And this is where I stopped playing, because the Spine was a bitch to fight and I was down to just one function by the time I beat it. Just not in the mood to pick it up again right now.

looks to me like you could easily cheese the boss with a lot of Load() spam and Mask()/Jaunt(). Crash() would also lower its defense, making that even easier to accomplish. Have I mentioned I enjoy this game's aesthetic a lot?

Aww, it was just the Spine? Here I was thinking the reason there was nobody else in the Transistor was because they slowly got absorbed by it, and we were going to have to do something to fix that. It's sort of lame that it was just "Oh, a Process did it"

This area is possibly my favorite. Lots of little world building moments, your "guide" is out of commission, and possibly my favorite moment. Red's not a damsel in distress, she's got murder in her eyes and will break yours if you get in her way. It's beautiful that little moment between them both on the terminal. I'll agree that the Spine fight is not very fun, but I feel that the little journey you take after you defeat it is an artistic feast for the eyes. Plus, "Old Friends" is my favorite song in the game. There's a reason I have the trailer saved on my YouTube page.

My supreme defensive combo in this game was Spark() + Jaunt() & Switch(). It's a spammable, double-pulse ranged AoE that charms. You can keep a dozen enemies at bay and fighting among themselves easily. After I found it, I didn't even need to Jaunt or Mask anymore - if anything so much as looked at me, I made it go away. Kill things in Turn() with whatever combo you desire, then spam away while recovering. It carried me through the game twice over with near constant max limiter usage.

Perhaps extraordinary to the point that it was no longer normal, or something. Reminded me of a certain short story I read a while ago (I can't remember the title or the author); it was about a world where nobody was special and everyone was like everyone else. If anyone was just a little different (in the story, they talked about a ballerina who danced better than her other dancers), they would attach something on them to make them function less than they were (in her case, it was something metal contraptions of some sort) and more normal like everyone else. Going back to the game, this kinda makes the name 'Camerata' very ironic. I checked out its name and I got this: quote:The Florentine Camerata, also known as the Camerata de' Bardi, was a group of humanists, musicians, poets and intellectuals in late Renaissance Florence who gathered under the patronage of Count Giovanni de' Bardi to discuss and guide trends in the arts, especially music and drama ...or maybe I'm just thinking too much on this.

Perhaps extraordinary to the point that it was no longer normal, or something. Judging by the descriptions of the functions, it seems to me that the Camerata isn't trying to eliminate the extraordinary people, but rather trying to... aquire them, for the lack of better word, with the only exceptions being those who were close to catching on to them. Also, note that they're not actually targetting the most famous personalities, generally prefering either up-and-coming or already retired ones. Which makes this situation all the more weird, because I don't think even multiple best-known personalities outright disappearing would have made half the ruckus this whole "Process" business is making. They either lost control, or at the very least Red escaping forced their hand much earlier than they would have liked to. Aumanor fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Jan 22, 2015 |
