Started this thought in a discord so it may not be coherent but the pre-hades supergiant games really had a thing for cities didn’t they.
Caelondia, that city on a hill, built on stolen land and watered with the blood of the native people the settlers killed to expand their borders. Positioned as a city of culture and enlightenment while it oppresses and grinds down its most vulnerable citizens. Lined with walls manned by poor orphaned kids and built to enforce the city’s will. Blasted to pieces by a weapon they built to commit genocide.
Cloudbank, the ultimate democracy. The shining city completely in its citizens control. A city of absolute choice and an absolute lack of it. A city where everyone gets to follow their dreams and do what they like, so long as it’s approved by committee. A city that may not even be real, may simply be lines of code. Wiped out by a program within itself, one literally called “the process” (trust the process, isn’t that what people say about voting?) that turned everything to monotone.
And then there’s the Commonwealth. A city born from the ashes of a fallen empire, built on good intentions. A proud city, one that boasts of its diversity, its mercy, its freedom. The city where literacy is a crime and books are contraband. The city where it seems like the only punishment is banishment, and the only way to repent is competition. Another city embroiled in war, with a race of ‘others’ as the enemy. A city you’re not trying to destroy, but change from the inside, from within the system and without.
Yeah. Supergiant’s got a thing for cities.

Round 1, Side B: Final Fantasy X (2001) vs Bastion (2011)
FFX (+) | Bastion
Campaigns under the cut!
Campaign for FFX:
N/A
Campaign for Bastion:
The soundtrack is such a huge part of Bastion, and it's absolutely incredible. I first heard the music a decade before I actually played the game and it stuck with me the entire time in between, and I was not disappointed when I finally got to play it. Three of the songs - Build That Wall, Mother I'm Here, and Setting Sail Coming Home, a combination of sorts of the previous two used to powerful effect at the end of the game - have lyrics that are fascinating out of context and utterly heartwrenching in context. The instrumental are distinct, gorgeous, heavily atmospheric, and contribute to the unique feel of the game. My favorite tracks, aside from the ones with lyrics, are Terminal March, Spike in a Rail, and Mancer's Dilemma, though I'd happily listen to any and all of them.

Heres the final 6 days of inktober :)) this challenge was really fun and i definitely got better at traditional art from it
#26 - Remove Friend
Last changed prompt, its Pavel and Artyom from metro last light since theyre besties :)))
#27 - Beast
Leshy from inscryption using the totally fair strategy of filling the board with bears
#28 - Sparkle
Patches from dark souls about to kick me into a pit
#29 - Massive
Enoch from OFF, this one was so hard to figure out the perspective on since him leaning forward just looks normal with where his head is on his body. I like how it turned out in the end tho
#30 - Rush
That one walkway in the tazal terminals that falls apart from bastion (also i was pretty rushed on this one lol i did it right before i went to sleep)
#31 - Fire
I just realized theres 2 errors in this but whatever, its one of the stranger's fires from outer wilds echoes of the eye. The marker set i have has a LOT of shades of green, this only used about half of them
Anyway yeah! This was my first time doing inktober, im suprised i was able to do all of them. I was kinda in an art slump before this so it was really nice to have a prompt and set aside time to draw every day :)

"They say the Veiled Widow is smiling beneath Her robes, Her body all scratches and scars."
first art of the new year, a redraw from 3 years ago of my interpretation of Hense from Bastion! I always found her concept interesting :3

Bastion - Spirits!
A throwback for me - let's draw some items from Supergiant Games' first game - Bastion! I believe this is one of the first indie games I played ever, and I continue enjoying the games this studio comes up with.
Can't say I remembered these spirits until I looked them up, but I remember now and they look gorgeous!
Happy Fan Art Friday, everyone!

So, I know a lot of folks discovered Hades as their first Supergiant Games game, but PLEASE really just play Bastion if you have a chance. I love it, it's their first game. I've been in love with this game since it came out. The music is fantastic. Yes I'm playing it again on Xbox.

What'll it take for Zulf and the Kid to see eye-to-eye?
--
Here's my Yuletide fic for this year! (10k words, G, The Kid & Zulf) I didn't have the energy for a bunch of treats this time round, but I did manage to create this giant, temporally complex exploration of The Kid and Zulf in Bastion. I really enjoyed revisiting this game (for like the fifth time) and gaining a zillion more thoughts about prejudice, communication, and the sunk cost fallacy.

Okay. I'm a loser. I need someone to talk about Bastion with. Someone who might be willing to listen to this fucking nightmare thing I'm working on. Anyone out there wanna talk to a massive Supergiant nerd and listen to this monstrosity I'm writing?

Happy 12th birthday Bastion!!!! I've had this idea for one of the Mancer's meetings for like 2 years now, figured putting the smartest men in the country in a room together and telling them to stop war forever is bound to lead to some disagreements.
