the newest update on disco elysium successor

[bloodanddiscoballs]

Absolutely disgusting. The creators just still cannot catch a damn break.

[strawberryjamsara]

Ex ZA/UM members have gotten together to make a game with Disco Elysiums insanely well crafted narrative system and wonderful writing but it’s about a young witch trying to solve the dissapearance of her neighbors cat in a small village in the alps.

Crossover project for my digital illustration class. Had to choose two pieces of media and make a crossover of some kind using them. I chose Slay the Princess and Disco Elysium because of their similar 'multiple voices in your head' mechanic

Мем про разработчиков «S.T.A.L.K.E.R.» : Пост сдал. Мем про разработчиков «Disco Elysium» : Пост принял.

Ну и времена. Но история оказалась забавнее, ибо в самой статье нас ждал сюжетный твист. Хорошая работа.

Succession intro, but it's the different studios of former ZA/UM employees. Interspersed with cinematic shots of Estonia

[solemnly, as if in an apology video] Hi, missing cat that belonged to the neighbor of a witch from a small village in the alps here,

Top 47K - Disco Elysium + Asura Blade

Join the HG101 gang as they discuss and rank ZA/UM’s combat-lite, crazy-heavy tribute to the Infinity Engine RPGs of yore. Then stick around, because special guest ViviMayoi stops by to discuss ASURA BLADE: SWORD OF DYNASTY, a late 90s arcade fighting game that’s sort of a post-apocalyptic Samurai Shodown!

Studio rolls "worst spiritual successor to Disco Elysium ever", asked to leave the club.

[soundsanssprechen]

Dear Reader

Do you believe

In life after death?

What a silly question, Child!

Of course

Time exists

And I’m not the only thing

You are not the best

I won’t tell you I’m a communist

I know that word’s killed people

Literal billions

Of hours

On carving gold

Out of Earth

Of Humans

Being alive

I won’t tell you we should be anarchistic

But I do believe in Anarchy

And that it might be good to try

Does that make me anAnkCronisTic?

My namés Samantha

What’s yours?

I think it's so funny that people are behaving as though all the Disco Elysium spiritual successors are effectively equivalent.

Cause Dark Math's press releases are all along the lines of "We're making a super cool edgy detective RPG. It's gonna be just like Disco Elysium, except with less words and more bullets, because who likes reading, am I right? Anyways, it's gonna be sooo cool and way more fun than Disco Elysium 😎"

And Longdue has said "uhhh yeah we're not really ready to talk about specifics yet. There's probably gonna be some weird psychological dream stuff going on. Idk. It's gonna be fun trust us"

Meanwhile Summer Eternal has hardly done any interviews, and if you read their manifesto and blog entries they're all like "Capitalism and insatiable corporate greed have irrevocably damaged the infant medium of video games. Workers in our field are treated as commodities at best and entirely disposable at worst. We intend to do everything in our power to create an uncompromised, complete, and unapologetic work of art, or we will do down trying. This isn't about making the next Elysium, this is about making something entirely new and revolutionary."

*puts on tin foil hat*

Is it possible that the 3 disco elysium offshoot games being simultaneously announced, with each team denouncing the other games, is all just an elaborate publicity stunt? If so, that'd be a really good way to get a bunch of loyal fans to buy all 3, play them, and analyze them critically. By inseperably linking the discourse of their games to comparisons of the "rival" games, they are giving each other a positive feedback loop of fan attention.
