"my career isn't gonna die" i laughed so hard LMAO

[@chicao.do.blender]

i really like how he pronouces "BEEH-GH" (big)

[@insomniacnerd5592]

One of the two devs saying ‘I don’t enjoy card games’ when they’ve made one of the best card games ever is such an insane thing to think about.

[@slenderman6925]

"I dont like card games" *makes the best cars game rogue like ever* "Guys i really don't like card game" *makes a sequel*

[@wesnohathas1993]

I feel like this type of thing happens weirdly often.

[@MrBdizzlekrizzle]

I dont like card games and i loooove StS. He definitely adds a secret sauce to the game that brings people in.

[@thaddeusgenhelm8979]

To be fair, you could argue that someone who doesn't typically like a particular game type probably brings at least some unique ideas on what to do with it when designing for it. It's getting the outsider's perspective. Now, this can go horribly wrong, but it also can get neat, outside the box additions too. And, uh, given the end product, I think the extra perspective turned out pretty well.

[@cenomnestpasvalide2201]

I suppose if you like card games, you might be enclined to just make a card game. Whereas if you dont, but still are making one, you'll have to make it a card game that even you can enjoy. Though that could mean anything i guess.

[@TheLethargicWeirdo985]

Can't wait until we see claw 2, I mean it has to be in the game it's the law

[@matejspevacek1226]

THE CLAW IS THE LAW

[@vapidviewer]

Can’t spell claw without law

[@gamecavalier3230]

"KZbin; Holy F*CK!" Couldn't have put it better myself.

[@combak2712]

One thing that Frost overlooked is the Symbiote event having the option to ENCHANT a card with Corrupt. This likely means that a system for altering cards beyond a simple single upgrade is available. Whether it’ll be a single slot system like Monster Train and the Guardian mod or something like the Biomes mod we’ll have to wait and see.

[@Flexorciste]

"Corrupt" make it seem like a kiss-curse kind of thing

[@DoomGamer3000]

As soon as I saw the trailer, my immediate thought was "holy shit future frost content"

[@SpikyBlade]

If Slay The Spire is so good, then why is there no- Wait what holly fuck

If slay the spire 2 is (allegedly) so good, then why isn't there slay the spire 3

[@Anton-oj8hn]

@@oppositeday429Why isn’t there a slay the spire 2 2?

[@shablamrobohawk1192]

I also think the defect got done dirty, but I love the sassy necromancer. Also, I have a wild theory that maybe the defect will be a boss or something, because the steam page says "return to the Spire and face friends and foes."

[@jessejaremka3456]

Same with the watcher

[@mrbtiger4838]

Claw is in shop though?

[@gamergamer7508]

I think there’s gonna be a pvp mode of some sort. No idea how it would work but the steam page says “new ways to play”

[@kelpikko]

my theory is to unlock defect we'll have to beat them first

[@adamoneill6663]

The reson we don't see him could be he was still in the spire since he came from there has a atnamaton and when we finish his runs we don't get to actually see the outside only his two face orbs blackness and numbers

[@NotDeinut]

Together we slayed the spire until it 2 ❤️

[@ThatGuy-c]

Hell yes

[@micp4130]

Two has always been less than three tho?

[@PenumbralFigure]

who else up slayin they spire

[@MrBdizzlekrizzle]

Balatro started to steal the player base and they really said “fuck that”

[@tnk4me4]

Just realised that since three characters go up at the same time in the cinematic trailer that there might be a spire with friends mode.

[@alexdoorn234]

Oooh that would be cool. Like an option to play it solo or with friends would be neat, I think even local multiplayer would be possible with this type of game.

[@DiabolicalImperfectionist]

Nercobinder is so sassy 💀

[@Zoth87]

The funniest part to me is how, despite being a literal skeleton, the new character has *all* the sass in that 3 seconds on screen.

[@alucas705]

Could definatley see defect just hard chillin in the spire for 1000 years and you unlock him by fighting him

[@whotheo4878]

I can not wait to be a part of the beginning of this after joining the community a year or two late to the first. Between you, Jorbs, and Baalor, I’m going to see this game get dissected to each end. “Is this a board game?” HAH And, side note, the part about the characters having their own personalities makes me hope each character has unique, bonus event choices

[@kassiemyst3876]

The 1000 years thing is interesting because that means the characters we're looking at almost certainly aren't the ones we saw in sts1. So ironclad survived and passed on his martial art. That's really cool!

[@enzokahn179]

The Necrobinder has the Watcher's pink robes and watcher often did stance changes perhaps the necroninder is the watcher

[@mirumgear3860]

It’s funny when I first saw them I was like “wait why is the watcher dead”

[@lordmorgon7407]

Mega Crit saw Frost drifting of to another card based rogue like and were like: "Nuh Uh!"

[@paulogomes8603]

Wheres my boy Defect!? He better be there! And this time with a name that isnt basically calling him a failure! MY BOY DEFECT!

[@Jorg13]

for real!!!!

[@LuciferLuckless]

"Return to the Spire and *face friends* and foes..." uh oh

[@DashOfSalt84]

Not sure in what way, but the dark orb in the shop indicates he'll be around in some fashion imo. Also, claw in the shop. Well it's all in the cinematic so who knows, but yeah.

[@thegreywolfe12]

defect? more like perfect

[@andrewdarby8843]

We saw a claw in the shop, so I believe the defect will still be here... somewhere

[@poisonedoak6563]

I saw the announcement on the steam page, instantly ran to frost's chat to ask if he'd seen in and got clowned on. So i subbed with Prime.

[@teradul2480]

Wait, was that a spur in the shop, as in, THE HERMIT RELIC?????

[@ztpayne7]

I'm with you, I knew Mega Crit was going to announce their new game but never in my wildest dreams did I think it was gonna be STS 2. I'm a console gamer but might get a steam deck just to play this in EA next year 😂 (I'm sure I can find other things to play lol). I'm still waiting for my board game to come in and this helped ease the pain

[@sillyking1991]

pretty sure STS is on console, unless they annouced that STS 2 won't be

[@ztpayne7]

@@sillyking1991 yeah, it's just possible that there will be a super long wait, and since I love the series, I'm really interested in getting in on it sooner than later. I thought Darkest Dungeon 2 would be on console and it's supposedly supposed to, but we're still waiting on that one.Also waited a long time for Rogue Legacy 2 to come to Playstation, it's not guaranteed Indies are able to release on console quickly. I was thinking of potentially getting a steam deck someday anyway and being able to play this in EA just helped push me in that direction

[@ggcedicoes6599]

Judging by the HUD I think that it will be available in mobile as well

I discovered you a few months ago, you hyped my back in the game, and I already know I will be watching you play StS2 ! (after I put 50 hours in it, don't want to be spoiled hehe)

[@SevieBarackus]

It can't be understated the effect you've had on the community. All the new mods have inspired the devs to create a new game.

[@nickrogers6995]

So many more years of CONTENT

[@Shadow.Darkraven]

[@GabrielERomagueraRodriguez]

Loving that the videos are coming out earlier than usual. Many thanks to Frost and Andrew

[@MrPickleEdits]

So happy I was there that stream, I was stunned as well.

[@jacobwansleeben3364]

I'm assuming that 'Corrupted' is replacing the card Corruption; it won't be in the game anymore. Instead, certain events, potions, and relics will allow you to add the 'Corrupted' keyword to certain cards which allows them to be played for free, but exhaust when played.

[@Senorgato029]

The trailer fell in my feed yesterday and I couldn’t believe it was real, also what that the cat quest III trailer? Goated games btw

[@Draconaii]

I'm so happy to see this happening cause with the more experience that the devs have now, they can make it so much better than the first, better code, gameplay and maybe even better mod support. (nevermind i just heard him say better mod support should have watched it all first lol.)

[@krizspice]

I’ve got a running theory that the defect will have to be found inside the spire as it’s magic is probably what keeps defect and the other automatons alive

[@anna48792]

god that main leitmotif is so FUCKING GOOD

[@donovanfaust3227]

Well I guess I should continue cracking on with my ascensions. I suppose by the time I'm done I'll be able to get StS2 on the Switch 2 or maybe I'd have a gaming PC/laptop by then. I was fairly late on the original anyways but I'm definitely buying it as soon as I can this time. P.S. They really did do the Defect dirty. I thought maybe since they were, from what I gathered, part of the Spire maybe in the act of slaying it they died eventually once they escaped. Certainly I'm not sure how long they would last with a cracked power core and the power system of the outside world is never explained but I doubt any civilizations were generating electricity at the time based on the characters that went into the Spire in the first game. I also get the feeling that the Spire was generating monsters that would wander into the world, reeking havoc and making technological leaps much harder. Man I just want more lore like you and it's awesome to be seeing even the slightest glimpse of a city surrounding the Spire. I've got a bunch of ideas myself but I've never really found a good place discussing what little lore we have and theories based on it. I guess because there isn't much outside of the Spire besides character descriptions. I don't care what they give me though, I'll have fun piecing it all together in my head.

[@roboxenogaming2047]

the festival is upon us

[@SandarianMD]

StS 2!!! Let’s goooooo

[@Ofxzh]

Claw doesn’t mean that the defect is in the game, considering the necromancer has a hand she can summon. Not to mention the necromancer is the color blue, which would conflict with the defect’s colorscheme unless they changed it.

[@xyzen9673]

Cant wait for more claw runs in sts2

I was really hoping (probably more fantasizing) for an adventure story game in the STS universe to show off the amazing lore. And maybe shed new light on characters we already know. But STS 2 is just amazing. Either way I hope we get to delve into a lot more lore. The little tidbits drove me insane. Especially “This is your handwriting. What is going on?”

[@ttombro8998]

POG!

[@BurritoPower]

[@tnk4me4]

Frost asking for more lore in sts 2 is wild to me considering the first one is already so lore dense. Obviously there's going to be more lore in the second one so digging it up will be so rewarding.
