From Bastion to Hades: 10 Years of Supergiant Games

[@EmptyFeet]

9:24 "oh, yeah, it was *filled* with rodents, and they were not our pets" is so funny to me for some reason

[@kee_do]

Ohh, nice to see you here toast!

[@ed_sivan]

Lol, I JUST rewatched your video "computers, right?". :D What a coincidence.

[@whiteshard]

Supergiant is awesome. Easily one of my favourite developers.

[@f.jideament]

They look like grown-up "stranger things" cast.

[@sterlingpratt4901]

"one of" pfffft

[@SidMakesGames]

As an indie game developer I find the story of Super Giant Games one of the most inspiring and motivating

[@glenmoody-elias1040]

"All this stuff is going on about 7 feet away. ...and I was cheap." I am glad all the devs have a sense of humor, and that's great.

[@artofstorytelling9406]

Love how Darren got the loudest pop , he’s for me the best aspect of supergiant , even tho everyone and everything is fantastic , I feel his music brings something which these games wouldn’t work without

[@keplerkangroo8715]

I loved bastion and only today realized the format continued and there are a bunch more games for me to play so happy

[@Dornpunzel]

I bought Bastion back in the days. I bought Transistor on PC and Switch. And i bought Hades on both systems. Just to support devs like this. And of course the games are really great. No microtransactions. Epic storytelling. Rly nice gameplay. I wish there were more companies like that. Keep it up folks. Im 39 now and i hope to have you produce more along the way / in the coming years.

[@adaptorperish1322]

Don’t forget exquisite sound and music!

[@Dornpunzel]

@@adaptorperish1322 That was the first thing i noticed when i started Bastion. :)

[@NeroVingian40]

Ten years! Congrats, dudes and gals. Here’s for another 10!

[@machtundrebel3127]

I really like the Pyre grafics and paintings! I spent a lot of time just looking at the characters and backgrounds without playing! Well done!

[@LiamWhittle-tm7yo]

Pyre is the most underrated supergiant game by far. Really wish it would port to switch as I dont have a PC.anymore but not surprised considering it was relatively unpopular

[@Whitsoxrule1]

Man I wish this panel was like 4x longer. Ya'll could spend an hour on each game and I'd be enthralled throughout. There is not a single other developer who I admire as much as Supergiant. Four games, four masterpieces. So excited to see what you all come up with next.

[@tracer.s]

IDK how this isn't just inundated with fans. Y'all are not only likable (and, ugh, probably grammable, memetic, idek) but you're clearly passionate and human and connected, and I'm completely invested in your work because I'm invested in you!

[@GoldGiggler]

Maybe because they're not marketed enough like other "AAA" games, though, arguably, their games are AAA. In any case, I think Hades might be the one for Supergiant Games to break into the public masses? At least with gamers that follow all the game award shows and such, because Hades is really raking in those awards. Overall, they're being recognised by the industry, even beating - if not going toe-to-toe with - giants like Naughty Dog (The Last of Us 2) and id Software (Doom Eternal). Anyhow, this lot is just inspiring!

[@matiasflores9043]

Congratulations! What an amazing team of developers, your games have brought me endless joy and a myriad of other emotions. Thank you so much.

[@z.s.omrani2945]

I'm the head of a small publishing company and I've just began my work, meaning getting people together. Gotta say Supergiant was truly inspiring to me and I snatched away many valuable points just from watching the meeting. I wish the best for you guys. Your games are simply amazing.

[@talahar123]

First day purchaser of Transistor, first day purchaser of Pyre, first day purchaser of Hades when it launched on Steam, all with the soundtracks of course, because Darren Korb is magic, and I'll purchase what ever comes next on day 1 for sure, as well. Supergiant are frickin' awesome!

[@tomsmeIIs]

You guy have been a huge influence in my life as a filmmaker as Ive told you guys many times before. Cant stop telling you guys. Keep it ip

[@Skenjin]

Have been thoroughly enjoying Hades since I grabbed it a couple days ago. Thank you guys so much for this amazing game.

[@MrSuperdude6]

Supergiant Games will always be a beacon of inspiration for me to become a better programmer and game developer, so that some day I can be a part of something as creative and awesome as every one of their games so far. Cheers to another 10 years of great games guys!!!

[@eduardooliveira2890]

Thank you Supergiant for these 10 amazing years full of great art and gameplay!! You're the best, and by far my favourite studio! Cheers, and here's to another great 10 years!

[@gustavokikey]

F*ckin love these guys! Keep It up with the amazing and awesome games! ❤️

[@StarlightDragon]

I just bought Hades, but after watching this, I REALLY wanna play Transistor again. Fuck! I wanna try the game again with totally different skill combinations. I loved that mechanic _so_ much that I have outright stolen concepts from it in personal games I make for my friends. I also think, _because_ it's so unique of a gameplay experience, that it perplexes a lot of players, which is (in my opinion) the sign of creating something new. You see the same thing happen when players pick up a souls game for the first time and how their emotion changes when the game finally "clicks" for them. The initial hurdle of wrapping your brain around a new thing, and the exhilaration of the design coming together in your head.

[@corywashington9580]

I 100% agree with this. Transistor was such a surreal experience for me and it really respects player intelligence. It gives you room to kinda figure out not only how deep the gameplay is, but how complex the story is as well. It just comes together so beautifully. One of my favorite gaming experiences of all-time.

[@carlosdumbratzen6332]

Yes! When I first started I compared it to league with the 4 abilities and a passive, but when I realized that I could combine them in different ways and that doing so unlocks story/lore elements I was completely blown away. And then the pause mechanic, that allows for another layer of gameplay choices. Do I anchor my abilities around playing in the paused mode, in the active mode or a combined variation. Such cool gameplay choices

[@pzz6367]

The love, care, and bonds made for the making of this game just only make them better. I don't think I'm ever going to find something quite like Supergiant Games. Thank you for giving a blessing to a part of my childhood.

[@Noumakara]

These people are so passionate. No doubt their games are great

[@theofficialassmob]

i love this team, own all 3 games. played all of them multiple times, good luck for the future you guys are something elses

[@SolusBatty]

3? xD

[@Largentina.]

They have 4 games.

[@omnirhythm]

So much love for these wonderful people, even more so after seeing how great Hades has turned out. The love, passion and skill just oozes out of each and every game and goes on showing that it still can be an art, not just a product.

[@pealerjoe]

It's good to see people from the glory days of Command and Conquer creating games that are amazing and that I still naturally gravitate to the games they create like I did in my childhood. It also shows that creating good games requires, and I mean absolutely requires people who love making games. When big companies like EA push people like these and even literally some of these, out they lose the soul of their game. Supergiant is when all those people with soul work in the same company. Sorry I ranted, but I love Supergiant Games. I listen to the music of these games regularly, just to relive the stories. Please, keep doing what you are doing.

[@sanjaynair9412]

Supergiant Games, Team Cherry and Moon Studios....easily the best indie developers out there. If they collaborated, I would implode

[@mortek1379]

You have to know that you are an oasis in a field where there are no ideas, not much variety.....music, design art, theme, narrative, death, absolutely everything is incredibly epic. From the bottom of my heart I wish you the best, keep it up!

[@jaimerodriguez4138]

[@mrcopycat2355]

I love you guys, keep it going

[@Crowbar]

Supergiant is my favorite studio.

[@Justagamerhere1]

Very good lesson: even if you have no idea what you are doing, just keep trying

[@diorse8851]

Love the art style in hades I plan on buying bastion later today, thanks you for your hard work may god bless you.

[@carlosdumbratzen6332]

The bad thing about your games is that I cant decide which is the best. I guess the story I most connected with was Transistor and all the other aspects of it are also great. But I really really liked Bastion and recently I replayed it and it is still so much fun with another great ending. But Pyre has this element of sportsgames to it, where you "manage" your team and because you have all these ways to interact with the characters you really build a connection to them. When I first approached the final rite I sent Hedwyn back, because I felt he longed most for it, but also I let him play most of the time. Then I realized I wouldnt see him again. When I reached it again I could have sent Jodariel back and I remember, that she kind of got angry that I didnt let her, but I just liked her being "in the gang" and also she was often the carry of the matches. That this game made me feel so connected to its characters was amazing and something I normally dont have. And Hades has just such an addictive gameplay loop and so so many hidden elements to it. On top of all this the community interaction and how you upload the OSTs to youtube and stuff (even though I bought all the soundtracks since Transistor) makes it really hard to not like you as gamedeveloper. I hope you will bring out more great games and please please please dont be afraid to do weird or different stuff

[@machtundrebel3127]

Transistor is my absolute favourite game from you, its so awesome! But I even liked Pyre really much, more than bastion although I like Bastion aswell! So I'm pretty relieved that you're consistently so damn good! I even got your socks, I mean wtf!?!? Thank youuu!!

[@Largentina.]

Have you played Hades yet?

@@Largentina. Yes, but I haven't finished it yet. Still working on it :)

@@machtundrebel3127 Hell yeah. I'm loving it. As someone that's loved all of their games so far, I think Hades is my favorite.

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Y'all need to dip a toe into the VR pool. Hell, a casual VR MMO from the Transistor universe capable of cross platforming/scaling from the Quest to the Index would slay that emerging market.

From hero to villain

[@doug2731]

All these great devs, hosted by the completely insufferable, terrible human being ~ Danny O' Dwyer. Shame Greg chooses to retain relations with him.

[@Largentina.]

Huh?

[@星辰学姐-g3j]

I find their games have very beautiful artwork and awesome music. But their games are quite short, lacks multiplayer, not that fun or engaging

[@Largentina.]

Not that fun or engaging? LOL well, that makes one of you.

[@animeprincess98]

selling out to epic lul

[@ProfesserLuigi]

If it means they can continue making awesome games, sell out harder.

[@Ftwtfu]

Hmm yeah. Personally i dont mind the selling out since they make amazing games. Eventually game companies will have to realize that going exclusive on epic games just hurts their long-term sales. Steam is the most accessible and most sensible platform atm.

[@steveno4871]

Free market, Baby!!! On a more serious note, they are just abusing the corporate system to get moar money. Who knows whether it was unadulterated greed or moar money because having a financial safety net is a thing, or simply being paid? Relatively, there’s a lot worse way to abuse the system of reality to make money.

[@ultimsing]

For beta yeah. They did say the will release on steam in december
