>Humming Simulator 2014
Why is this game so good?
>>278229269
I liked it because it told the story during the game instead of wresting control for some 2deep4you crap.
The battle system was pretty good and the final bosshas to follow the same rules you do
>>278229730
I loved the final boss having the same powers as you
It wasn't hard, it wasn't easy for me. It's was an equal match and made me love it even more.
>>278229269
I had an urge to play but gifted my only copy away to a friend who would probably enjoy it more. Is it really that good?
>>278230696
If you liked Bastion, you will love Transistor.
I say love, because I felt in love with the game, not the characters, but the game as a whole.
it's my 2014 GOTY
Game is fucking amazing. The ending made me cry little bitch tears
>>278230143
it would have been better if the ai was competant and realized when you'd done a feint
What are good ability combos?
Right now I have Invis with the backstab passive, crash with no cd and that's it.

I'm not crying I'm just allergic to sadness.
sooooo when's there going to be another sale for this?
>tfw downloaded the "breached" album and probably enjoy it more than the regular un-hummed music
God damn, so fucking good.
>>278231327
>except for the worse music
The music is god tier. Anyone has their taste.
>worse gameplay
10/10 Story
10/10 Aesthetics
10/10 Voice work
5/10 gameplay
Did I care? Nope.
I found it good but nothing Oscar worthy.
Combat always feels like a chore in these games. It was interesting for an hour but the enemys felt very copy paste for the next 4-5.
The story is interesting enough to a point. But is vagueness the new 2deep4u? I feel after Dark Souls its just a marketing ploy to get people to talk about games.
Biggest kicker for me was the ending.If Red just commits suicide to go into the Transistor with her Husband why didn't she just do that at the start? The entire game is actually pointless on reflection. Made me feel like all that effort and re-tries was for nothing
>>278229730
SHIT I SHOULD NOT HAVE READ THAT SPOILER TAG. That sounds ballin'.
>>278231271
Definitely get the dog with upgraded backstab. That hits like a truck.
The dash with a few upgrades seems to be a good spammer as well
It wasn't good at all though
>>278231539
It's a good fight, both you and him can use the same skill setup and have to follow the same rules; It's a match of tactics instead of brawn.
>>278231452
>If Red just commits suicide to go into the Transistor with her Husband why didn't she just do that at the start?
I can explain that.Red didn't knew what happened, why she lost her voice, what was the Transistor and what was going on. She looked for Answers. Discovered the Camerata was responsible, what was the Transistor and she destroyed the Process.
In the end when she realized she couldn't bring her lover back, she decided to join him in the Transistor. She was the only person left in Cloudbank.
The story is explained by dialogue and a few insights are given on the backstories of the people absorbed by the Transistor.
Also it's pretty obvious that Cloudbank is a virtual world.
Also do you get anything good from the Backdoor area if you complete it?
Again with a game where the combat is the weakest part the last thing I fancied doing was sandbox time trial runs
I like it so far but the sword talks way too much. Doesn't even have a soothing voice like the Bastion narrator.
So disappointing you mean? Gameplay got stale as fuck after just a few fights, the game is 2 hours long, humming/flourish does literally nothing, and there was only like 2 bosses, the last one being the only good one. Thankfully the music, voice acting, and art style were all top tier, but Bastion still was a better game.

I want to like it, honestly, but the game feels too easy when you plan and too hard when you don't. Also the soundtrack is way overrated.
>>278231835
Well technically the hummingcontrols the Transistor at the end, that's how you rebuild the bridge
>>278231838
>its
Well he sure didn't do nearly as good of a job in this game. I had to turn down the voice volume whenever the sword is tripping balls because he just fucking talks non-stop about nothing. It doesn't sound like he's telling a story, he's just rambling on about everything.
>>278231878
>but the game feels too easy when you plan and too hard when you don't
There is those enemies that don't let you use turn() in the late game, but yeah they could have forced the player to keep changing process and tactics, like in the trial runs.
I liked that you could chose your own difficulty as you go.
You could just put more dampeners to make the game feel harder.
>bought transistor because i liked bastion
>play it for an hour then uninstall it because it's boring as fuck and easy
It doesn't even matter that the game is pretty, the music is good and the voice acting is great. If the game has fucking boring gameplay, It's not really worth playing.
>>278231271
I liked going with as much area damage as I could. I went with Void + Purge which then comboed into Spark + Ping + Crash or for maximum area damage Load + Bounce + Jaunt.
>>278232078
>Changing functions
>Put more limiters
>>278232082
>It's not really worth playing
Depends on the person.
Some like a good story over mediocre gameplay. Game is only too easy if you want, you can put limiters but yeah it's not hard.
>>278232082
how do people bash transistor for gameplay but then turn around and praise bastion.
Bastion had literally nothing to show for in gameplay departament, it was pure shit and repetetive out the ass, atleast transistor had a glimpse of actual tactical gameplay with interesting combos, i for one like the idea of trampling your enemies.
Also it got so old repeatedly taping shift to dash through the entire game of bastion
P.S. the games naration gets old after 20 mins
>>278232494
>transistor
>tactical gameplay
It's about as tactical as a game of team deathmatch in call of duty
>>278232494
>repetetive
>taping
>naration
So you're twelve, then.
>>278232552
It's Tactical gameplay. Your analogy doesn't change this fact.
Classify it right for me, no analogies.
While this game was decent, it was probably my biggest disappointment of the year. It's not a bad game, it was just that it's predecessor was a superior game in just about every regard.
The thing that irritated me most was the combat system halting after every encounter to do a rundown. It just broke the flow of the game too much for me.
I really enjoyed the game, but had hoped for a game to surpass Bastion and was let down.
>>278232569

>>278231598
Do your summoned dogs randomly blow up on you?
I had the summon 2 dogs ability but they always blow up one after another shortly after summoning if no enemies are around.
It's annoying too because the cast time is so long so if I wait until I see an enemy to cast it normally I'd have taken a few hits by then.
>>278233147
Honestly I don't remember fights being that long.
1) Summon Dog
2) Enter VATs quicktime mode
3) Move self and dog to two enemies and backstab until you run out of AP
4) Hide until you can repeat
>$28 (twenty eight) australian dollerydoos
worth it? or should i wait for a sale?
>>278233034
Not him but I use the Chrome auto-correct, It's incredible how sometimes he miss something.
>>278233263
Wait for a sale. The experience is over in about 4 hours so not worth much money.
>>278233147
Dogs don't stay summoned when there's nothing to fight. Besides, the fights are fairly short when the dog is involved anyway. Dog barks, everything in the room causes everything else in the room to suffer a resonance cascade that results in explosions, fight is over.
>>278233263
Honestly, no. It's a slightly worse Bastion and that game is worth no more than $15 burgerdollars.
>>278232348
>you can put limiters
It's the classical:
>This game is too easy because I've read guides/asked for help on how to use a optimal configuration to make the game easier
I don't get and never will get this attitude. You can make any game harder or easy by your own will.
I remember playing Dead space with only one gun because of the achievement, and boy does that game becomes much more harder.
If you want a harder game, put limiters on yourself. In this case, Transistor gives you some if you want.
>>278233034
i could have, but then remembered i have better stuff to do and i don't actually have any respect for anyone on this site.
>>278233263
It's quite short for the price tag. I thought I was in the middle of the game and that it was really starting to get good and then it was over. It's good, but I wouldn't recommend paying thirty dollarydoos for it.
>>278233513
>i could have, but then remembered i have better stuff to do and i don't actually have any respect for anyone on this site.

You really should just stop, you're only making yourself look more and more ignorant.
I have bastion and I didnt like it.
Why should I play this
I bought the game, beat it in 4-5 hours, and felt no urge to play NG+.
Overall it just seemed like a weaker game than Bastion. The gameplay was more complicated and customizable, but easier and less interesting. The overarching plot tried hard to be deeper than Bastion but it leaves a lot of things unanswered and doesn't really come together to form a cohesive hole. Soundtrack was about the same quality.
>>278234025
The words in >>278232569 are all marked as wrong by the default spell check in Chrome, and I imagine in other browsers as well.
So unless you are only arguing for the sake of arguing, you should concede this and stop.
>>278234031
It's funny, because here we think americans tourists are uneducated because you rarely, rarely, rarely see one that knows how to speak a foreign language.
Your people walk around like they own the world and expect everyone to understand them.
>>278234127
I'm speaking French with you?
I'm not that guy, but this kind of shit makes me mad. Unless someone is writing an undecipherable and uncoherent post, no should use grammar as an argument.
You can understand exactly what that other guy said right? So who the fucking cares about typos and not perfect grammar?
>>278229269
Are there any other games which use Transistor and Bastion's type of customizable difficulty system?
So is the sandbox originally where Sybil used to obsess over Red?
>that help() dog
>that collection of red's songs
>you get the access to the sandbox after dealing with sybil
>>278234392
Warband has the best difficulty system in my experience.
You can customize several aspects of gameplay and each gives/takes difficulty percentage so you end up with something like 150% difficulty.
>>278234395
It's implied that Sybil had a crush on Red.
>>278234293
that's because all the Americans learn Spanish instead, no one wants to learn French here
>>278234225
I liked Bastion and didn't like Transistor, so maybe you will like it
>>278230696
really stupid image you have there
Something I don't get it
The world is virtual and they live in some kind of mind uploading computer or Matrix like world.
But why do they have age? It's the age they chose to have? Because for what I understand, it's implied they are immortal.

Honestly 1 isn't so bad as long as he doesn't act like you should know who he is, but 2 is the worst, most tripfags just have trips and people sperg about that for no fucking reason.
>>278235178
There is some gay people but it's has nothing to do with the story and is not part of their personality.
You'll only find it if you pay attention to the backstory and that's it.
Speaking of the difficulty curve, you're supposed to put on the limiters right as you get it right? Though, even then the only fight i really struggled with was the spine, i redid it like five times trying to maximize damage and dodging speed and also a way to deal with all the black little turds flying everywhere
>>278235483
It's easier to ignore a tripfag when you don't see a trip.
I filtered the word tripfag, to be sincere. I just opened that post because I was curious.

>>278229269

It depends on the thread too, if it's those kind of threads that attract a lot of newfags and shitposter, I don't even think about opening.
>>278232082
>easy
just play it with all the Limiters (the analogue of the Idols in Bastion) unlocked
I enjoyed Bastion, I'd say it was a solid 8/10 but Transitor felt more like a 6 or even a 5 to me.
The setting, art style and music were really good and the story had an interesting premise, but the way it was told was pretty bad. I just thought the man in the sword was nowhere as good as the Narrator. While the Narrator did a pretty good job of building the world and the characters, The Man pretty much did none of that and left most of the lore in optional profiles. Also the ending didn't really hit me as much as it did in Bastion (the ending where you saved Zulf was just GOAT).
Gameplay wise, I'd have to say both are average at best.
>>278235770
Enjoy your shitskins then bro.
>>278235648
Doesn't need controller. You can play with M+Kb
>>278235648
It's almost turn-based and there's never any need for analog movement, a controller would be a detriment in fact.

Yeah, nah. Bastion was a shit game with a cool narrator. At least Transistor gave you some nice abilities.
>>278235648
Much like Bastion it's better to play with a mouse and keyboard. It lets you aim faster with better precision and you're going to want that when you have to evade.
I still prefer Bastion's story and its execution, probably because the story wasmore optimistic with the hope for a rebuild in the evacuation ending and the walk after I chose to save zulfwas goat. But I think the combat system in Transistor was more fun. dunno.. I liked the turn system and customizing skills.

>>278229269
The game is good because its an archetypical example of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
The combat system was nice and simple enough in concept, and it had variable difficulty, if anything they failed to explain that better.
>game too easy
Use limiters
>what a joke
Use more limiters
>hmmp I am better than this
Use all limiters at the seame time champ.
>baby's first "tactics"
well, its all the game has to offer, and was honest at that.
This game system is all about the "unforseen" effects of combining stuff, some combos were lame, others were rather powerful.
Yeah, the game offered you combos that work so well in average that it didnt incentivate you enough to explore more. Thats one of the few game flaws for me.
>overrated OST
That depends on tastes. The first stop I made at the beach I was blown away by how a humming song could be so relaxing that made me want to hear it for hours.
A game with simple enough mechanics, everything else is beautiful, maybe I seen this formula with Journey, and it works wonders.

The enemies were not transformed people, they were animals/programs, the people were turned into white blocks like everything else.
The combat system was great, I had a lot of fun messing with all the combos you can build.
But honestly, I 100%'d it in 10 hours and I really don't see any reason to ever play it again. Why can't you at least replay the sandbox challenges ?
The game has very nice graphics, colors and animations, but halfway across the game I got really tired of the 2deep4u story and especially of the dialogues. Characters talking in circles, not finishing their sentences... That really pisses me off. Also the background files for the various functions, as well as the general character design, really push too far on the special snowflake side.

It's probably the real world or death. They can never come back after they go there.
The country inside the Transistor it's not the real one
>for example, Asher Kendrell telling Red that he would, "See [her] in the Country" before committing suicide. Royce Bracket also compares The Country to the Transistor, remarking that: "You can get in but you can't get out. How about that! You can get in but it's a one-way street, a one-way road. It's like the Country. You don't just go for a visit you go for good."

This made me smile.
>>278235178
It actually is shit. The consensus on the game has shifted, as the tumblrites have taken over /v/.
>>278240046
The pizza is made and delivered by the same robot things that you fight. It's just the ones you fight have no purpose now so are "reset" as it were
>>278229269
It's okay. Maybe a pretty good game on its own, but the wasted potential really kills it for me. It starts off very strong, but nothing ever develops in ANY aspect. The gameplay, the story, none of it ever amounts to anything. I think the fact that so many people praise the story is indicative of pretty low standards for vidya storytelling, or just that the game really perfects the illusion of depth.
It's definitely worth playing, but just think about it critically before you rate it.
>>278240046It's leftover pizza, but you made me laugh
>>278240091
I can imagine Roy saying that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrc5lv0O8yo
Who goes first? How about... me?
>>278235178
>You guys fucked me over with binary domain
what's it like to be a colossal nigger faggot
>>278240287
The story it's there. It's not trowed at your face, but it's there. Also gives pretty good space to speculate, that's good for discussions.
>>278240258
> tumblrites
Holy shit. I had a vagina and didn't knew. Also I visit tumblr and didn't knew, should've not trusted myself like the guy in the mirror said.
Wish the Camerata had a bigger role in the game and that there were more boss fights.
Probably my favorite game from last year, I hope they add on to it. Doubtful, but they did it for Bastion so you never know.
Royce had a strangely soothing voice. I guess because it was so quiet.
The Camerata were fucking badass, considering they did virtually nothing.
>>278240531
There's no fucking story, though. It's a really interesting setting, but nothing ever happens in it. Red just goes back and forth without accomplishing ANYTHING and then the game ends. The "story" is really just you walking around and reading wikipedia entries about Cloudbank. There's absolutely no substance to the plot.
>>278238106
I honestly, sincerely believe you may be gay. Look into it.
>>278240891
You have a giant sword giving you the narrative the whole way.
Games don't need cutscenes to have a narrative. It's a different approach to story telling in most video games.
>>278240891
>Red just goes back and forth without accomplishing ANYTHING and then the game ends.
She was in a quest of self discovering.Did we play the same game? Did you read the backlogs? Did you payed attention to dialogues and OVC terminals?
Red didn't knew what happened, why she lost her voice, what was the Transistor and what was going on. She looked for Answers: Discovered the Camerata was responsible, what was the Transistor and she destroyed the Process.
>>278240891
There IS a story, but it takes place in the aftermath of a climactic moment in the larger story, which you also learn about through the duration of the game.
>>278239926
>he's wearing his jacket
Heh
>>278240815
also a good example of how to write gay people in
Asher and Grant had the same last names and committed suicide together - you might even think they're related for a bit until it clicks
Sybil is also pretty obviously gay for Red once you read a little more on her as well
Just simple information you learn through their census data through their commands that isn't absolutely stated or shoved in your face
Royce is also amazing even if he is Nicholas Cage
Know this might sound like a dumb thing to like in a game, but there was a certain quality to the VAs in this game, especially for Royce, that I really dug.
I played it a bit, loved it. However there's some glitch for me. Whenever I start it starts at a tiny resolution and when I change it to my regular resolution the framerate becomes like 5 fps or something, any way to fix this?
>>278241292
I didn't get the impression that Sybil wanted Red, rather that she wanted to BE Red and was crazy jelly of her talent.
>>278230773
>If you liked Bastion, you will love Transistor.
Loved Bastion, found Transistor too easy and boring, maybe I'll finish it someday but since I don't play games for the story anymore I doubt it will happen.
>>278229269
I hope you fuckers are browsing this thread listening to the soundtrack and humming the songs.
I know I am.
>>278241292
Fucking this. The shit that Bioware makes isn't progressive, it's just pandering to the tumblr audience by throwing gay in your face all the fucking time.
Transistor does a much better job of it because you don't even need to give a shit about that, it's just sort of there. Like there's a biography thing for one of your skills and the character is listed as "Gender: X". Doesn't talk about it at all, you could very easily miss it, but it's there.
>>278241368
>Appreciating good VA in a game that hinged on the strength of its' audio
nothing wrong with that at all. Most games' voice acting is atrocious, we should really be seeing better VA in games nowadays anyway.
>>278241407
Nah, she set Red's bf up to be stabbed instead of Red so sh would have her all to herself.
>>278241072What happened? How did Red lose her voice? What's the Transistor? These aren't even fucking answered in the game.
The Transistor controls the process, but what the fuck IS it? What were the actual machinations of Red losing her voice? The Transistor didn't even touch her. Why did the Transistor teleport away from the Camerata? Why did "losing" the Transistor cause the process go berserk immediately? Why didn't the Camerata try to get the Transistor back? You're not asking enough questions.
Does anyone have the klk/transistor crossover fanart?
>>278241407
>Ms. Reisz met Red while putting together a small program for up-and-coming artists, and became infatuated first with Red's music then with her
>infatuated
This is from her files.
>>278241368
I could listen to Royce all day.The process can't be stopped...can't be stopped...
Transistor on the PS4 totally justifies the stupid light bar on the controller.
>>278241719
I've not played it on PS4, but I've seen it done. The voice and glow coming from the controller was a wonderful touch.
Story......... Transistor < Bastion
Look.......... Transistor > Bastion
Music........ Transistor > Bastion
Gameplay.. Transistor < Bastionfite me

Good shit.
>>278241527
Shelost her voice because they had control of a lot of aspects of people who had allowed themselves to be part of the census system, and took her voice away - alternatively, some say it's because she was touching Blue when he was hit by the Transistor, and since he fucked up the Transistor and made it do a hard reset Red was affected and lost her voice from it. The Process is the man behind the man that controls all the aspects of Cloudbank as voted by the citizenry. It teleported because it just went haywire for a bit after trying to absorb and process someone it had no census data on. The Process went berserk because the Transistor was being actively used by the Camerata to keep it in check at all times, so the resultant loss of the SuperUser and switch to Red and it not being the Cradle anymore made it go nuts. And they did try to get the Transistor back, Cybil's remaining thoughts are all about wanting it back - but the thing is, without it or the power of the masses, they literally can't do shit to take it from Red because they've lost all the power they once had with it.
>>278241613
>>278241876
fucking based
you can hear the smoking in his voice
>>278241527
>What happened?
MASSIVE SPOILERS
It's all in the backlogs and Dialogue. Roy explain most things near the end.
The Camerata wanted to put Red inside the Transistor. Sybil was the one that chose Red, because she was infatuated with her.
Red's secret lover tried to save Red and he himself got absorbed by the Transistor.
All went wrong after they lost the Transistor.
> How did Red lose her voice?
The Transistor absorbed it.
>What's the Transistor?
"The key to the city". It's how the Camerata was controlling the Process. They build it by reverse engineering cloudbank's source code.
>but what the fuck IS it?
The key to the city, the way the Camerata invented to change cloudbank's code.
>The Transistor didn't even touch her.
The Transistor Scratched her.
>Why did the Transistor teleport away from the Camerata?
The Transistor has some pretty weird powers, he probably tp himself after he got awareness trying to protect Red
>Why did "losing" the Transistor cause the process go berserk immediately?
Because the Transistor was the only thing controlling the Process. The camerata created the Process.
>Why didn't the Camerata try to get the Transistor back?
They tried, Sybil fight. Also they were trying to fix the virus. They found a solution, you end the process before fighting Roy.
Do the polls and stuff in OVC terminals get those results online from other players? Because if not they should
>>278241719
what happens when you play it on ps4?
>>278242157
The Camerata didn't make the Transistor.
It's natural.
>>278242172
It lights up every time your sword talks like in the game. Also his voice comes from the built in speaker. It's ultimately pointless but it's such a nice touch and it kind of made me even more immersed in the game.
>>278241876
great
>>278242157
But all of these are either extremely vague answers, or flat-out not stated or hinted at in the game. So you're making shit up!
>>278242352
Nope. They say it in dialogue, they made it after studying a lot of complex equations.
There is a Transistor schematic in the Chalk board,in the Camerata's lab.
>>278242424
Pay attention to dialogue.
See >>278241876
>>278242362
I dislike the speaker from the controller because it's really low quality. I instantly disable it if it's possible to in any game.
Anyway, I don't know why people complain about the light bar on the DS4 so much anyway. Unless you're playing in complete darkness, I never even notice it. My biggest gripe with the DS4 is the shitty battery life in comparison to the DS3.
>>278242483
Then why do they know so little about it?
>>278241784
>>278242362
That's neat.
>>278230773
The narration in Bastion was a lot better, while I'm glad they didn't do it exactly the same it felt more annoying like a server pestering you about refills at a restaurant, rather than someone actually narrating the story/what's happening.
>>278234902
>This image is related
>>278241876
Even his combat dialogue is soothing.
would've been better as a hack and slash
>>278242551
But they know. Roy explain it.
Cloudbank is a True Democracy. It's a city where the citizens vote for everything, even what the weather should be.
The Camerata were tired of everything changing.
"When everything changes, Nothing Changes". Roy says it. He says that people vote for a new bridge to be build in the place of a park, them they vote for a new building in the place of the p bridge then they vote for a park in the place of the building. The Camerata belives the people doesn't know what they want.
They make the Transistor as a form of bypassing the democracy.
"Cloudbank is the canvas and the Transistor it's brush."
Again, is everything in dialogue.
best song coming through

>>278242520
I thought worked really well for transistor. Made it feel like you were holding the sword.
Most games fuck it up pretty bad though. Holy fuck Warriors 3 bugged me so much with it.
>>278242804
>hey this thing doesn't really make sense or wasn't explained
>retort is just repeating the same fucking lines that don't clarify anything
Arguing about this game's plot is killing me.
What do you want the setting of Supergiant's game to be?
Cried like a bitch nigga when Paper Boats started playing.
These guys know how to make a soundtrack.
>>278242954
Id like to see a post apocalyptic setting, their atmosphere and music would be 110% fitting
>>278242954
A game pre-apocalypse.
We've had post- and during, I want to see their wonderful cities alive.
It's sad that the future will never look that cool. Everything is classy and elegant in an 1920's way, but futuristic and flashy too.
Why reality has to be so boring?
>>278242936
Tell me exactly what you don't get.
You said they know very little about the Transistor, but they know. The Transistor its Cloudbank's brush, that's it. Nothing more.
The world that exist inside is not really the country. It's just the place the people absorbed go to.
>>278243169
Fashion goes in cycles.
Sometime in the future, Neo-noir clothing will be considered fashionable again.
>>278231194
Yeah I don't think the ending will ever not make me cry a little.
>>278241292
>until it clicks
You mean until Asher opened his mouth? Sounds gay as fuck.
Serious question....Did red have sex with transistor
>>278243384
Serious answer:No, retard.
>>278243384
No, by Sybil sure as fuck wanted to Scissor() her.
>>278243384
Before he was a big ass sword? Yes.
>>278239324
>You are now aware that the Transistor does the backvocals
>>278243680
No that's her writing a song and he's bringing her some coffee.
What the fuck does that guy do anyway? I call him Blue. Like, what's his job? Why did the Transistor fail to absorb his information?
>>278243762
Wrong reply.
>>278243680
>>278243680
what a surprise she was a slut. Can't trust any of them, fucking worthless. Disgusting 2DPD
>tfw I didn't know there was a dedicated Hum button
>>278243762>You are now aware that the jacket Red was wearing though the game was actually his
>>278242804
I don't think the transistor is artificial, Royce says that he found it on the outskirts of the city.
Way I read it: cloudbank is a digital world. Whether it's created or if tech is just like magic to them, I don't know. The only place outside of cloudbank (real world or maybe some kind of digital afterlife) is 'the country'.
Because of its digital nature, damn near anything can change at a moment, the city's completely at the whims of the masses, like a hyper-active internet forum. The camerata studied the code the underpinned the 'natural' mechanics of cloudbank, and discovered what was equivalent to admin privileges in the transistor, which they intended to impose some measure of stasis and order on the city.
The transistor doesn't actually give absolute power, though, rather it allows them to absorb the influence that certain people have over the city and bring it under their power. That's why they hunted down a bunch of famous and popular people to store inside.
The process was the equivalent of the source code, the invisible mechanics that lay beneath the motion and movement of cloudbank. The camerata brought them to the forefront to make people appreciate the act of creation more than the creation itself, something that Royce, a former architect, was a bit pissy about.
>>278242954
Adventure game with a band of Optimistic band of misfits.And as you progress throughout the story your band of misfits becomes smaller and smaller as more and more of them die until only you the player character is left and all you can do is remember your friends as you continue on alone till you fall yourself on the last mission against never ending waves of enemies.I like sad endings.
