Building the Bastion: Part 02

this is some of the best stuff I hope they reupload part 1 and maybe upload all the parts together as one long awesome video. they also need to put it on youtube. seriously this is like VICE but videogames. maybe not so much, but still I want to see more of this, not just because Transistor is going to have videos like this but how about lots of other developers? I donno. This is just so awesome to watch later on and its sad I can't watch part 1!

If you're a game developer, it must be so nice to work with a small team like Supergiant because communicating ideas is so much easier than with big game developers. Plus you probably have more freedom with creativity than a larger developer because smaller game developers are willing to take more chances to try and make a lot of money quick compared to big game developers who are more afraid to take risks because they don't want to lose all the money they have.

Now that Bastion is out, I really wish they could make a limited run of Boxed copies.  Greg just seems to psyched about games(such as Ultimate) that include all sorts of goodies in their boxes.  I'd love to see what they could make to go alongside Bastion. :)

I can't find part one

its the happy hour 10/29/10

code is horrible.

never noticed before but greg has some sort of Retro city Rampage stuff

DOGS SHOULD NOT BE NAMED THE SAME AS PEOPLE 
 
Also, game is lookin great even at this point in development.

Great video, can't wait for the game

I'm real excited for this game.

I can't find part one

I miss old games with their massive manuals with bibliographies

This is like a game made specificaly for me, seriously every aspect seems perfectly tuned to my intrestets. 
 Keep up the good work super giant! So far this looks super dope, I can not wait for this game to come out seriously it's my most anticipated release.

This is a really great concept for a show/video series on giantbomb. Get to see so much of what's going on behind the scenes. Please keep these coming, not only for bastion (which is looking really good) but for other properties as well if you can!

This is so interesting. GB is really doing something that no one has really been able to do before. So much thanks for Supergiant Games for showing this behind the scenes stuff.

Where was the first Building The Bastion? I haven't seen it?

" Greg Kasavin: "FEAR. Still, for my money, the best combat in a first person shooter."  A-men. "

Star Control 2! You have excellent taste in games, sir.

I wish they hadn't put that old filter and music when he was showing Ultima5....

Wow that was incredibly indepth. 
 
maybe Greg K can show us his stamp collection on the next show

Props for having TLJ in the stack!

Seeing Greg's stack of games at about 4 minutes just warms my heart. Such good taste and love for old school PC gaming!

That's a really nice editor tool.

Undying is one of the most underrated FPS ever.  Such a good game and I think it still holds up well.

GREG K.
 
Totally watching this video now.

Another great video, this series of Building the Bastion videos might be the best thing on GB.
 
Greg has a great collection.  It's nice to see Clive Barker's Undying get some love.  Few games have had better atmosphere.

Mr. Kasavin is a man of incredible taste.

looking pretty good so far.

Usually I don't check up much on the Indie games (usually not a lot of coverage in the places I look), yet this looks very interesting. I quite like the style and it looks very addictive.
I hope Giantbomb rebumps the game when it's released!

nice, a sealed copy of GoldenEye N64

Looking great, day one buy.

lookin good, definitely will pick it up whenever it comes out.

too much going on in the visuals. Hard to pinpoint things... they need to tone it back

" I'm not too keen on the visuals in Bastion. They seem very messy and all over the place in terms of color and pattern. There seems to be alot going on both in the background and foreground which is hard to concenentrate on. The contrasting patterns/colors don't compliment eachother. Eg bluey/greeny forest with red lava type background. However, that was, what, ONE level? So i don't know about the rest of the game. But that demo just seemed ugly visually. I can tell its all really well drawn and looks great stand alone, but its like they combined all their backgrounds/foregrounds on a random generator or something. Its a shame because i think the rest of the game is really interesting such as the narration (perhaps a little annoying after a while?) and the developers seem like lovely people. Still, all the best " 

The artist mentioned she was embarrassed that the colors were off and over saturated when they started showing the demo. The game will not look like that when it's done.  "

Love seeing this kind of inside look at game development. The team seems to have no shortage of talent: from the art to the engine, game mechanics, and procedural narration everything in this game looks fantastic. Very excited to play this when it comes out!

I definitely plan to purchase this day one. Huge fan of arcade games and this looks like one of the best ones out there. Great stuff.

Really cool feature. Game looks really promising.

So much stuttering. 

Greg imported SRW: OG Saga.  That is most excellent.

I appreciate all the hard work gone into this and the monthly updates is great. I just can't see me getting this though

This game looks absolutely fantastic, can't wait! 

System Shock 2 <3

Day 1

Best video all year. I love that you guys are doing this :)

Greg Kasavin is so much Win..
 
Just the fact that he has THE LONGEST JOURNEY in his 'essential' collection makes me happy. That game is extraordinary.

Looking better and better each time.

sold!
