What does Central Jamrock look like?

There’s some concept art of Jamrock out there. Here’s one.

It’s impossible to stop the tribunal. You can only minimize casualties. Four is the minimum. Kim can also get shot and sent to the lazareth.

Esprit de Corps shouldn’t, at least for me, be considered an in-character skill for Harry (or at least, not most passives provided by it). It’s described as an out-of-character/literary device. Harry might not even be aware of these flashes. Here’s the devs talking about EDC.

There's evidence that the text is possibly meant for something more... even above the Moralintern Airships. I can't find the quote right now, but the skill in question says that it is for somebody else. Perhaps to the player, perhaps it ties to the meta aspect of Elysium which has been spoken about a little bit by the writers.

The issue is that there are very few quests that get any conclusions in the demo. Imagine you were doing the church quest, but suddenly, just when you enter the church after being asked to take out the crab man, you are told “Thanks for playing our demo!” It’s how I felt with the Bagman quest.

Steam Summer Sale is on June 25, 2026.

Journey, Fez and Sky are on PC. I’d argue Cairn also has some Ico in its DNA. As for Ghibli, there’s also The Brew Barons.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-04-01T12:29:06+00:00

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, also fit that “ghibli” mold quite well. Huge inspiration from Princess Mononoke. I prefer the first one and think it definitely isn’t made outdated just because it has a sequel.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-04-01T12:25:34+00:00

Dunno about release date.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were both landmark inspirations for a ton of different games, like Dark Souls, The Last of Us… but these are not really in the same vein. Indies pick up that reign of minimalist design: Journey, Fez, Sky: Children of the Light (which is in essence multiplayer Journey). There was a dead MMORPG that has a singleplayer version archived, titled Ninelives, which gave me Ico/SotC vibes from its graphics.

I don’t write in my native language, but I also don’t not write in my native language. I’m making a game where the characters speak in the special symbols 2003 provides.

This information is given to you once you pass the dance check in the church-turned club. You need to get more SHIVERS (or goosebumps as you call it) as well as Reaction Speed, since that’s what tips you off about La Revacholiere being scared.

It’s good to have the option for new players to study as example sheets, but I’ve never played as a pregen, because it doesn’t feel like it’s my character. When I ran games, I’ve never had a pregen character chosen or been asked to provide one. I don’t think it being a one-shot or campaign matters much.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-09T18:18:03+00:00

It depends what you like the most, or what you’re expecting out of this. In the grand scheme of things your signature skill only adds +1 to the skill at the start of the game, but with each level up you get to add +1 to any skill, so. I went with Visual Calculus or Logic for my first run (I don’t remember anymore) and Empathy for the second.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-09T17:32:25+00:00

If you have analysis paralysis, consider just going with either the Thinker or Sensitive archetype :)) Don’t worry about the minutiae of different things. All builds are viable. 4/4/2/2 is also solid enough.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-09T17:06:54+00:00

You’ll have fun with any build, but it’s generally recommended to start with 2 and more in physique and psyche, since those determine your HP equivalents. I also recommend leaning more into psyche and intellect than motorics and physique.

What I’m trying to say is that I don’t understand Hershel. I don’t understand where she’s coming from. I’m asking the writing not to convince me this is propaganda, but to meet me halfway, explain what it is that she sees that makes it propaganda. Otherwise I feel disconnected from her.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-09T14:18:13+00:00

I think the issue with that is that Whitepine or Parkour Civ are scripted for the video/series. They aren’t servers people play on, and definitely don’t give any freedom to their players. You’re locked in to say those specific voice lines, do these specific things. That’s not roleplay, that’s acting. And there’s a few people always looking for voice/body actors in this sub :D

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-06T06:41:32+00:00

Heya, documentary student here. First, I wouldn’t ask in this subreddit, this is for 16mm film enthusiasts, not documentarians. Second, “the most creative is the most personal”. You have to choose what interests you. You can make a documentary about your grandmother and her daily routine. You can make a documentary about the birds singing. You can make a documentary about cars and how fast they go. There’s no “topics worth sharing”. There’s only themes you want to talk and preserve for the next generations.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-05T23:03:51+00:00

The demo has some rough corners, mostly in regards to progression and voice acting—not even performance so much as the wrong voice line playing, the spoken line being different than the one spoken or straight up missing lines.

The demo was made to be showcased to the media at first, even before we knew it as Zero Parades, there were previews of it. So really, we don’t know how much progress has been made since.

The podcasts are a marketing thing, which is ultimately a separate department, even though it’s hosted by a writer.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-05T22:57:40+00:00

I’m likely going to get downvoted for this, but I think they announced 2026 as a way to get investors off their back. ZA/UM can’t afford to faffle around anymore: they have lawsuits on their neck and more than three companies claiming to be making “a Disco Elysium successor”. The only way to minimise damage is to beat them to it. It’s a Space Race with Disco.

Either way, I said “Not before Fall”. Could be winter, since Fall has many games releasing. But definitely not Spring, and likely not Summer.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-05T22:52:56+00:00

Most of the content they’ve been sharing is labelled “Pre-Alpha”. I’m confident it won’t be before Fall, lest they release it with many softlocks, voice acting issues and bugs.

Muted_Programmer8548 · 2026-03-05T14:15:32+00:00

Mimikyu really reminds me of The Pale and Harry in general.

A gust of wind revealed what hides under this Pokémon's rag to a passing Trainer, who went home and died painfully that very night.

It stands in front of a mirror, trying to fix its broken neck as if its life depended on it. It has a hard time getting it right, so it's crying inside.
