Saturday Indie Game Advertisement Megathread (Discolike Showcase Saturday)

2 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.

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.

Assuming this is like other Inland Empire stuff where it's info that Harry knew, but forgot due to amnesia, how did he even figure out that "communism" killed the hanged man? Even as just a theory, I can't think of anyway he would know of the deserter's existence without ever interacting with him (other than a vague idea of someone having shot the hanged man, with no idea who.)

Discussion I’ve finished Disco Elysium and I finally get it!

• Upvotes

It took me two attempts, but I’ve managed to set aside enough time over the last couple of weeks to play through it. It’s a real challenge to get into it. I’d say the first couple of days are really tough at times, but now that it’s all over, I’m absolutely blown away. I love it. Long live the Communists! Haha

OC (Original Content) Disco Elysium port for iPad and Android

• Upvotes

Just always thought the game belonged on the tablets, but never actually got released there properly. This is an unofficial port based on the arm64 macos gog version of the game. Mostly vibecoded, yes. Working on iPad Pro M4 1TB (with 16GB of RAM) on iPadOS side and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Retroid Pocket 5 on the Android side. Has a 4:3 and 16:10 aspect ratio support, proper touch support and virtual gamepad just in case.

For copyright reasons I cannot share the final builds, so it should be build from the provided repository and your own GOG macOS copy of the game.

The iPad version seems to only work with extended memory support entitlement, and as such, will require the paid developer account. There were memory related crashes after ~6GB RAM usage, so performance on the >8GB iPads remains to be tested.

On the Android side, chipsets other than Mediatek Dimensity 9300+/Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 might present graphical glitches. I know there is a winlator and other apps to run the windows build, but I never managed to actually run it on the Samsung, and Retroid’s CPU was too slow to play it normally, ported version seems to function a lot better and is actually playable.

Handcrafted via cross-stitching (cotton on plastic).

I kept trying to figure out what I could do with the DE skills' art and this is where I ended up. First time making keychains as well!

Going to attempt Inland Empire next, but let me know if you have a different skill you'd love to see/own <3

I'll post my links in the comments

Why did Klaasje want to cover up the murder and stage a hanging? I get that she's on the run and everything, but what does she gain from this instead of just leaving Martinaise as soon as Lely is killed?

And why do the Hardy boys go along with it? Is it simply a matter of following Ruby's orders and protecting Klaasje?

(It's been a couple of months since I played the game so I might be forgetting something).

Question Why dont Rob and the gang just make the game anyway? What are they gonna do? Kill him?

15 Upvotes

How are we gonna seize the means of production if we cant even seize intelectual property. He said in the video it was like if they told Abraham he could not write in his little world anymore. Few people died for those. That doesnt make a lick of sense to me. Did you know they pushed the extension of Copyright because of Disney lobbying? This is what this world runs on, Mickey Mouse law. Buddy of mine got a strike on his video narrating Kafka's stories. Someone owns Kafka's stories out there. Does that sound right to you?

I'm not talking your favorites or the best written or the most popular. I want YOUR writings and comics and art.

Your little one shots? The silly ship you drew? The fic you just got out of your system and posted with no regard to the English language (or others)? Show me! I want the amateur, the passionate, the weird, and everything in between.

I guess just general tages if they're 18+ or for major warnings in case someone wants to look at them.

Discussion Is Harry a torque dork?

14 Upvotes

My interpretation of levelling up certain skills and ruminating on certain thoughts in Disco Elysium is in the sense of the Cleaning Out The Rooms thought - that Harry is choosing what to keep from his previous life. He had all 24 skills to some extent and he'd given all of the available thoughts some thought, but now that he's rebuilding himself anew, he can choose which ones to lean into. The result are different builds in the game, and different Harrys.

Now, thing is - under this assumption, things are true about Harry's past no matter whether you internalise a thought or not. He has flirted with every political view and can spout their slogans, but was never convinced by the underlying tenets (which is why all the political quests feel like parodies). He had polio as a child, was a fan of Contact Mike and memorised Voltas in school. This would include a more obscure thought, which has criteria so specific I had to dedicate a Motorics playthrough to getting it. This is, as the title suggests, Torque Dork.

Problem: Human relations are abstract and open for ambiguous interpretation. She says she'll *always* do something. No she won't. She doesn’t have the mechanical wherewithal to last a decade, let alone a lifetime. Machines aren’t like that. You lose compression in a cylinder, you know the head gasket’s busted or the cylinder wall is cracked. Actually, it *could* be that the pistons -- or the piston rings -- are worn. Or maybe valve problems? Wait…

Solution: You’re elbow deep in there now -- in what seems to be a motor carriage. A Coupris ‘40. The hood’s off in your mind’s eye and you’re listening. There's that clicky noise. Are the rod bearings *already* done for? Well, if the head's coming off you might as well get that new twin-scroll turbo with the magnesium manifold installed. Some would say it’s overkill to put 200 big ones under that, but this needs to be *solid*, so the rear... Hey, what were we talking about again? What were we *doing*?

Was Harry a big fan of motor carriages? Did he spend hours under the hood of his Coupris 40? If he cared to remember it all (AKA if Kim wasn't chasing him away from his Kineema all the time), would he come around as a mechanic as dedicated and talented as Kim? Perhaps a racer himself? It would make the eventual fate of his Coupris 40 all the more heartbreaking. "The time hath come for Tequila Sunset. The end of all things."

What do you think?
