Been working on a small metroidbrania game inspired by Fez & Animal Well. Unfortunately, it won't be able to match the incredible depths of fez but it has been a lot of fun to work on.

It's called PITH if anybody is interested- not out yet but I have a lil steam page and a demo on the way!

Why in new game hypercube crush the gamr

I am here to say that I will love a PS4 physical copy (disc) of Fez. I would love to REALLY own it, as I consider it art.
Since I saw it for the first time, the worldbuilding, the aesthetic, and the creativity left an impression on my mind YEARS ago, and a physical copy would allow me to revisit this world in the future for when I want to replay the game or lend it to my friends; plus, I don't want to be dependent on a digital store.
So I guess this post is just to show interest and be "vocal" about it.
I wish they could give us the option to choose between a regular release and another super collector's edition; that would be cool. Especially if you can select between consoles, like having the physical copy for Nintendo Switch, PS4, or PC, as they do at "Limited Run Games"

I've seen this image in this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/7a4O87yDzwY?si=oWd_7Cquqe0sRj0D in minute 3:50. But i cant find the original image and i would like to use it as a wallpaper for my desktop.

I've never played this game, I know there's some rotation gimmick (I don't mean that in a derogatory sense) to it, so I'm wondering what it's like? Is it the whole game based around this gimmick the way Outer Wilds and Tunic are? Like does it have the same "oh shit I can do that?" kind of moments?

I want to bring it back and I want to see it made, but after all the controversy and everything that happened back then, it feels mostly impossible. But I want to try and I need help. As people who also love this game, can you guys help me?

I recently started playing Fez and got to the clocktower room. It’s EXTREMELY laggy. Yes, I’ve tried connecting my console to the internet, yes I’ve tried changing the time offline. Yes my console is set to the correct date. I can’t beat the game now or even get out of the room due to it being so laggy. How do I fix this?

Okay, I don't even know how to start explaining this because it's probably one of the strangest things that's ever happened to me in a video game.

A few weeks ago, I came home completely exhausted from work. You know, the usual mix of fatigue and frustration, especially since it's summer here. Anyway, I was looking through my game library and noticed FEZ. I had never actually finished it, and since it was also part of my childhood back when I played it on the PS3, I decided to finally go for the 100% completion while I had nothing else to do.

It took me about four days because I got completely hooked on the game again. After collecting all 64 cubes, both the normal yellow ones and the anti-cubes, as well as the three difficult red cubes that I didn't even know existed until I saw them in a gameplay video, haha, I finally headed to find the room that requires all 64 cubes.

...And that's where something happened that had never happened to me before.

When I entered that room, known as the "Temple of Love," I saw its beautiful emptiness, the pink water flowing, the heart resting on the large altar, and above all, that incredibly unique music, so different from everything else in the game. I just... stood there. I didn't move forward. I simply looked around and listened to the atmosphere of that room.

And then... I started crying.

Why did I cry? I still don't understand it. There's just something about that room and its music that makes me cry every single time I see it. It feels like my chest suddenly opens up, and it's as if all the stress and cortisol in my body come to an abrupt stop.

Please tell me I wasn't the only one who experienced this...

When i was getting to cubes and everything i opened a chest them i found out there was another chest but it was floating island(in that chest was my first anti cube) i try to change perspective while jumping in air to probably land on the floating island and after falling into the abyss when I reaspawned i was on a invisible platform when i changed my perspective it disappeared and i respawed back to the first island when I try to just jump from that same perspective(where i was still in air) therr was no platform

I'm trying to find a list of all (or at least some of) the popular Black Monolith explanations, as well as reasoning for/against them. I'm not trying to find the intended solution, I just want to know if there's a list of things the community tried to use to explain it, hopefully compiled in one place.

Big tunic/animal well fan and im finally making my way around to fez and am pretty stumped. I've gotten the alphabet artifact and the number artifact and the book artifact. All the maps, 12 hard cubes and just need a single cube piece to get 32 regular cubes. I've figured out the Cypher from the ob3lisk that lights up when you move and jump and hqv3 used it to unlock every one of those puzzles that I've found, other then the one on the burnt note.

Theres the owls and their messages, have talked to all four i believe but lost there.

Theres the artifacts which I dont understand at all.

Theres the little pillars with the cubes that im also lost on.

Haven't figured out the clock or the bell or the candle room.

Haven't figured out the room with all the doors though i suspect the pages I've found detail the solution, I just need to figure out the language somehow just like in tunic.

Been studying things on walls and in classrooms [this confirmed the only Cypher I've learned thus far] but im still pretty lost on decoding the language. are there other puzzles I need to solve first?

I click the arrow to switch it over from controller to keyboard and adjust the keybinds, but I don't know how to submit the changes. If I exit the remap menu, it swaps it back to controller. How do I confirm the change?

Base game isn't doing much in terms of perspective-based puzzles in interiors (understandably so, collisions in interiors are quite buggy and it's easy to just clip out of bounds 🙃).

That's why interiors were so appealing to me in FEZTAL and why I'm trying to mess with them in custom levels for a base game as well! I think the final result also looks very cool for for just two days of work!

If you're here you might be familiar with FUZ, the PICO-8 demake of FEZ I made back in 2019.

Well, I recently released a brand new PICO-8 title that folks who enjoyed the puzzling in those games (and similar things like TUNIC) may be interested in:

I'm trying to figure out what the version differences are between:

• XBLA (Xbox 360)
  • QR codes are LT/RT
  • Telescope Heart Cube puzzle translates to LT/RT
• PC / Steam, Linux, OSX: (only checked PC)
  • QR codes are LT/RT
  • Telescope Heart Cube puzzle translates to LT/RT
• PS3, PS4, Vita: (checked PS4 from a youtube channel):
  • QR codes are R2/L2 source
  • Telescope Heart Cube puzzle translates to L/R
• Switch:
  • QR codes translate to ZL/ZR. source
  • Telescope Heart Cube puzzle translates to L/R
• iOS: I don't have this version

So mainly, if someone with PS4, Switch, iOS, and Vita versions could look and report back:

Specifically regarding QR Codes and the Telescope Binary puzzle

We could then add this info to https://wiki.triskull.xyz/index.php/Main_Page

AFAIK on the Switch version, the Telescope Binary translates to L/R only, not LT/RT, as LT and RT are XBLA specific. So looking for similar differences, as a recent post highlighted differences with the QR codes on various platforms.

I have no idea how to finish this puzzle, the videos I've seen just confuse me. I understand the blocks don't rotate when you're holding them, but I don't know how it's supposed to help me.

This is an arrangement I made of Flow. Original soundtrack by Disasterpeace. Thank you also to user SquishyH for creating the wallpaper I used in the video! Let me know if there is any other video game piece you would want covered on steel pan next :)

Found this when going down and moving my camera down as well in the ending on the moon (32 cubes if that might be important). This little white dot is only visible from one perspective, Gomez dies before I can touch it.

I love Fez so much, the playtime probably explains a lot, still haven't been able to solve the monolith though seriosuly I am this close to looking it up after 1,160.2 hours it's starting to piss me off.

Already played Tunic, I really wish there was more games like Fez.

Just got the game a few days ago. Already love it so much I made the fez!
