well it started cos I wanted a cursor to go with the rest of my tumblr then a favicon then sunburnedhermitspider challenged me to make him even tinier, how could I refuse that.

so I was poking around in the subtitle files, and found this…
EDIT: yeah okay so looks like there’s a matching soundfile, too, but I can’t actually play it (if anyone knows of a program that can extract viable OGG files out of FSB you will have my undying gratitude)
so this is the scene where Red puts the Transistor in the cradle – i wanted to share this animation cos there’s a bit in Red’s body language I didn’t catch playing the game
just when she embraces the Transistor and looks down after it disappears
[REDACTED]’s attack animations (“quick attack” and “attack”, respectively)
cut for more Transistor spoiler talk
(cut his name cos spoilers?? IDK I have a few people following me that haven’t played yet so I’m careful)
I personally was too busy kicking his ass to pay much attention to Royce’s model animations at that point in the game, so these are really interesting – especially the comparison of how he wields the Transistor compared to Red (she has a much more… physical approach).
it seems like a small thing but really illustrates the difference with Royce’s research and knowledge of the Transistor vs. Red just suddenly finding herself with this great big fuckoff sword and having to figure it out on the fly
Ah! All this game digging you're doing is quite interesting! I hope you keep posting your findings, they're super rad. How are you managing to do it? Teach me your secrets owo
aaa thank you!! I do plan to post some more animation gifs, there’s some interesting bits in the files.
it’s actually pretty easy to get at most of this info — if you’ve got Transistor on steam, find your Steam folder (by default it’s in C:\Program Files\Steam\), then head to steamapps\common\Transistor. most of the interesting stuff is going to be in the Content folder. do also be really careful not to change or edit any files if you open them, of course!
the Subtitles folder is particularly interesting; this is where, obviously, many of the subtitles from the voice-overs in game are located (in a few different languages! ‘en’, of course, for english). note these are not necessarily in any sensible order. right-click these files and select ‘Open with’ and choose Notepad, don’t let them open as an Excel spreadsheet or whatever they might want to open as. do also be careful not to edit or change these files, I’m not sure how it might frick up your game if you do!
I haven’t yet been able to figure out how to pull individual sound files out; I’m not a programmer at all, just fumbling around in folders here, so I’m hoping someone more code-gifted can figure this out for me haha (it’s gonna kill me if I never get to hear some of the cut lines)
as for the animations, it’s really simple actually: the files for those are in the Movies folder! I export the animations as a video file, then convert the video to gif. many of the animation files are actually somewhere in the range of 300+ frames, since they play the same animation at every possible view angle (which I believe is 16 in total). for some of the longer animations (such as this one), all 16 angles can wind up making a gif over 3MB, so I clip it down to a single angle to make a more manageable (and tumblr-friendly) file.
and on that note if anyone would like a specific angle of a particular animation, drop me an ask!
(I can also post all of the subtitled files if anyone who has the PS4 version or whatever would like them? seems like they’d probably be pretty handy for fanfic authors?)
oh man just checked out the transistor tag at AO3 and though there’s literally only 15 fics i can already tell the lack of a consistent (and official) name for Sword Boyfriend is going to make things a bit messy when it comes to tagging pairings erp

A pick of my favourite Limiter files. A lot of people don’t seem to realise that they have them. Possibly they’re only available in Recursion, that could be why? Not sure though.
Anyway, I picked these because of ‘like an explorer!’ and Royce being a passive aggressive shit. ‘He or she does not know what he or she is talking about’.
Royce spacing out staring at the snapshots for hours tickled me as well. Getting into staring contests with something that doesn’t blink.
My favourite’s gotta be the Jerk one though. “It’s dangerous to disturb but hard to disturb but you know, don’t disturb it or anything. I totally disturbed it.”
(The number terminated will be pretty outdated by now.)
I really liked the extra bits of information in the files, too; they are available in the first playthrough, but perhaps a lot of people didn’t use the Limiters?
but some really fantastic little informational tidbits (let me tell u about my love of flavour text), and I also kind of adore how they’re written (?) in Royce’s voice. (maybe not written? I like to think these are transcripts of voice recordings. Royce’s writing was slightly less rambling than his speech, but I could be wrong?)
Is it bad that I ship both Red/Transistor and Red/Sybil, cuz they’re both adorable. I mean, Red and mysteryswordboyfriend are a canonical pair, but Sybil was also canonically bein gay for Red.
SYBIL/RED/BOXER POLY RELATIONSHIP THOUGH
they all get Processed in the end right? MAYBE…MAYBE THEY HASH OUT ALL THEIR DIFFERENCES IN TRANSISTORCOUNTRYHEAVEN o//////o >//////
grant-kendrell said: YELLS IRST FROM CUTE THEN FROM AGONY
You or Grant, ahaha.
‘Asher, just let me - keep the little bugger -’
'Fiiiine.’
And Royce chirps up in the back like JUST INTEGRATE HIM : D
and now I wonder
would the owl (or cat) have a trace? or is it only humans that do? (and does that mean that only humans are capable of having a trace; or is it only that the Transistor will create/pick up the trace of humans? why? is it something about the significance of one’s life? if that’s the case, would it pick up for an infant or even just a regular ol’ Joe? would you get a trace off a particularly long-lived or accomplished animal, like an elderly parrot/tortoise or a service dog?)

(Skype chat sounds good!)
I actually emailed Supergiant, Kasavin did confirm that the Transistor holds ‘more than just humans’. This was in asking about the cat, so yes. They can become traces and that’s canon.
reblogging because YEAH AWESOME. (though THE CAT… that poor cat.)
That Skype chat sounds like a boss idea, I could help you grab people interested if you want to make it happen.
yeah!! awesome! I made the skype chat — I think this how you link??? (might have to copy-paste it and enter it in skype? I… don’t know what I’m doing, haha)
okay that link doesn’t seem to work… copy-pasting the code below into a skype chat brings you to the conversation??? skype:?chat&blob=iqACIAsbutkElZP1SpbTgDXX_7mHP7mEGX27uUPqgfqgUJgDJsa0GXE3QhATJ-QH8lokChEkeVrY3D9GpIo
uhh otherwise folks can just add me on skype (hobbit.butt or “SWORD BF”) and I’ll figure it out from there…
I was going through the subtitle files and I found the joke that the Transistor was going to tell.
Sandbox_97,”Hey back at Bracket Towers, I never told you that joke, you ready?” Sandbox_98,What’s the difference between an administrator and a drunk…? Sandbox_99,I’ve never been an administrator.
you can get him to say these lines in the game too, it’s adorable
Some stuff of my little design for ‘Fifth’, or the missing fifth assassin. swordboyfriend was very encouraging about him so here we are.
An assailant with the appearance of a red-headed man in his early twenties, scarred across the throat. On closer inspection he has a Process’ orb - eye, perhaps - in the centre of his chest, though finding out what’s behind it would probably be lethal, so his innards are unknown pending X-ray.
When distressed his human appearance degenerates to varied extents, usually manifesting as paler skin, multiple sets of eyes in unsociable places and thin, extended limbs. He is difficult to look at in this state as his outline is unstable.
He is able to speak, but does so rarely and in a distorted version of the addressee’s voice and accent, regardless of sex and age. It’s not yet known if one hears his voice as one’s own at all times, or if his voice does alter.
Supposedly non-hostile unless provoked, though certain high-profile targets in possession of sensitive information may just have seen a tall and hazy figure in their final moments.
Okay, i’m SO glad I found a #red in the crowd. Have you played #transistor yet?! I absolutely LOVE it! The art style, the music, the gameplay mechanics.. SPOT ON. Good thing I didn’t miss her. Good show little miss, good show! #squaready #anime #animeexpo #animeexpo2014 #la #ax #ax2014
So I decided to draw Red for my first experiment in Emofuri. I may have gone too detailed for my first try/my rigging isn’t perfect, so I can only use the more subtle animations. I think it turned out okay, though! The first picture is just the static drawing.
Anyway, I still want to do a proper painting for Transistor, so I’ll try and get on that soon! I’m going to Japan for a week this coming weekend and I have some commission work due next month to handle, so we’ll see what happens…
my favourite is the third animation, used when summoning Help(). captions are related to the filenames for each animation; I’m not entirely sure which animation is used for which function. if someone else is feeling really ambitious they’re certainly welcome to label these properly

The second one is Ping(), the last one is Cull(). I believe the first one is Breach()? The fourth one is Tap() I think. I’m probably wrong lol
