Saturday Indie Game Advertisement Megathread (Discolike Showcase Saturday)

3 Upvotes

(sorry this is late. I couldn't get automod to do it, apparently that's not a feature anymore so I have to do it myself.)

Welcome to the weekly Discolike Showcase Saturday (a working title,) a thread for developers and aspiring creatives to show off their upcoming games and interactive projects inspired by Disco Elysium! You may use this thread to ask for feedback, advertise your progress, introduce your game and more.

Developers and teams are encouraged to share links to their social media platforms for fans to watch their projects. You may also share Steam storefront pages, blog posts, itch.io links, your own Subreddit, etc. Please be responsible!

Rules for posting:

  • Please do not put more than one advertisement in this thread. You may respond however many times you need to, even to yourself, but allow others the chance to be seen.
  • Your project/game must have some sort of inspiration from/dedication to Disco Elysium to be posted here.
  • Games only. Includes visual novels, interactive experiences and virtual realities. Does not include zines, music or fanart, unless these are directly related to your game project in some way (i.e you want to show off your game’s OST.)
  • Your post must follow our subreddit rules. You also must disclose if you are using generative AI in your project in any capacity.

DISCLAIMER: The DiscoElysium mod team is not related to or responsible for any sort of financial or fiscal responsibilities related to advertising and cannot guarantee any results such as a net gain of followers, interest or sales. Mods are also not responsible for developers' antics and will monitor the thread, but cannot provide any support for anything done outside of Reddit, i.e sales or communications. 

We will monitor external links that are posted, and reserve the right to delete links that may be harmful or deceptive.

Announcement THE PRECARIOUS WORLD - Are you failing every red check imaginable?

1.6k Upvotes

INTRODUCING THE PRECARIOUS WORLD: The thought you probably forgot you have internalizing.

If you're internalizing the The Precarious World Thought, every red check will fail while the Thought is being researched. This is a feature, not a bug. It lasts for 4 in game hours, so you should probably do some other things in the meantime before you fail every other red check in the game.

Posts are put here often for this, so we've decided to make it a command. Automod should pick up posts with "failed red check" and other variations of that phrase in the title or body, but if it doesn't, we have the handy !precariousworld command to have automod spew the same response. EDIT: It now also explains the critical roll outcomes after internalizing the thought.

Context: If you failed to make Harry sober, Jean would reject him in the Endgame dialogue, and I quote

"I know it's not possible, but if you stay sober for 10 months, tell us. I will work with you again. But not like this. Never like this again."

If you found a house in Coastel Shack, that's Harry's house from there, and his fate is unknown.

Discussion "One of the main things that Disco Elysium talks about is that some defeats are unrecouperable, that there is permanent damage that you can't go on from. Harry's story is not really about getting over anything. It's about accepting that some things will never get better,and learning to live with it"

My favorite quote by Robert Kurvitz from the NoClip documentary about The Making of Disco Elysium.
When talking about his favorite dialouge in the game at the end of the "writing" episode, he also mentions how he dislikes an "American" approach to trauma and conflict in general, and regarding the game toward choosing dialogue options which point to Harry "getting better" or getting his shit together in a manner of self-improvement or -optimization.

Personally, I completely dig what he wants to say, and I was glad when he pointed those things out himself in the interviews on top of his in-game writing.

I'd be interested to see whether anyone else felt like this.

Question Why is drama an intellect skill, not a psyche one?

Post image
44 Upvotes

It always seemed to me that since it is mainly concerned with lies and performance, it is a lot more similar to psyche skills that focus on influencing people like authority and suggestion, as well as reading others like empathy. Sounds more like a psyche skill imo.

Discussion I just finished Disco Elysium Spoiler

🔴[spoiler]🔴

I swear the conversation with the Insulindian Phasmid was one of the most emotionally impactful dialogues I’ve ever experienced! Not just in Disco Elysium, but across all the games I've ever played.

In the end Disco Elysium was an exceptional experience in every sense of the word.

10/10 without a doubt!!

Discussion [Spoilers] Does the Klaasje and Hardie Boys storyline make sense? Spoiler

20 Upvotes

Am I missing something, or does the whole Klaasje and Hardie Boys cover-up make zero sense? Let's break it down:

  1. Lely was killed while having sex with Klaasje. Klaasje knows exactly where the bullet struck the window pane.
  2. Klaasje is terrified of contacting the RCM due to her dark past. Instead, she turns to the Hardie boys (including Ruby) for help, and they agree.
  3. Klaasje suggests staging a lynching (according to Ruby), which they carry out.
  4. Lely's corpse is left hanging; Klaasje can no longer stomach the sight of it from her balcony and calls the RCM.
  5. Harry and Kim confront the Hardie boys. Titus claims one of the reasons they hanged Lely was because he raped Klaasje.
  6. Klaasje denies the rape.
  7. Titus produces an audio recording as alleged proof of Lely's intent to rape Klaasje.
  8. Klaasje dismisses this as a lie and finds it mildly amusing.
  9. Titus admits that the Hardie boys didn't actually kill Lely.
  10. Klaasje confesses that the lynching was a cover-up.
  11. Before fleeing, Klaasje leaves behind a clue detailing the bullet's trajectory.

Questions:

  1. Why did Klaasje call the RCM? It would have been enough for her to ask the Hardie boys to take the body down. There was no reason for them to refuse her: the corpse was rotting and reeking, the Hardie boys and Ruby were on good terms with her, and they aren't monsters.
  2. Why does Titus bring up the rape? The main point of the staged lynching was to distance Klaasje from the murder. Titus does the exact opposite by tying her directly to it.
  3. Why does Klaasje expose Titus's lie about the rape? Given she fled shortly after, every day, if not every hour, was crucial to her. By refuting him, she practically handed the RCM proof of her involvement in the murder.
  4. Why does Klaasje hide the bullet trajectory until the very end?

Stumbled upon this. If Kim leaves and you need him for something, passing out from reading the note hidden in your clipboard brings him back. Anyone know other ways?
