baroque fucking rules, it has maybe my favourite art direction of any game and it uses the roguelike format for storytelling in ways that hades got praise for hitting on 20 years later. the switch port uses the ps1 release, which is a decent version of the game but has some minor technical and gameplay downgrades compared to the saturn original (which recently got an EN translation patch). so like, i’d recommend emulating the saturn ver but if you can read japanese then the switch port is fine too. be sure to let me know what you think of the game if you do try it out -w-/

The lone survivor of the doomed Oceanus Procellarum PMC, “Faye” (callsign: Fiver) spent two years aboard the wreckage of the AS-508 Aquarius, eking out a living through the ship’s decimated hydroponics facility and extensive field modifications to her Caliban frame and custom NHP “Hazel.”
For the Lancer RPG published by Massif Press
character class spreads from the official elden ring tabletop rpg, including a mixture of original art for existing classes and new art for classes exclusive to the rpg. i don't think these have been circulated much in english-speaking fan circles, if at all. i'll post cleaned versions of the character art at a later date.
AEON which converts to LSTR, the AEON logo which is both a hexagram divided by 6 and a Penrose cube (that is, 6 component parts that from every angle form a single whole), the use of trigrams in reference to the 6 lines that form a single character, etc
The Penrose triangle which appears to have discrete sides but is actually recursive upon itself, 512 which is divisible NOT by 6 but by 8 (that is, the number of corners in a cube), the 八卦/Eight Trigrams, Falke the god with 6 spears forming 6 unbroken lines,
How popular is Signalis in China, compared to English speaking communities? My friend pointed out the use of 八卦 and of course Signalis uses Chinese language, but neither of us can actually read Chinese.
I enjoy your posts. Thank you!
SIGNALIS in China is not very popular,our community is about 80 people,and we stay together in QQ (Something similar to Discord)group。There’re also some people who’s not in group。All in all SIGNALIS is far from popular in China。
We are now making efforts analyzing the game details and the whole story。According to the Chinese version translator’s answer,Rose-Engine knows well about Chinese language and culture,it contains some unique features in Chinese version,I am now working on the “Pattern of the use of classical Chinese tongue”。
People in CNSR are not many but they are very good artists,writers and analyzers。We will not stop contributing,and thanks for your recognization!
I tried to play Baroque as a kid and was thoroughly lost and kinda wrote the game off, but it got that switch port and I see you post stuff of it sometimes and it makes me want to try again. Should I try again now that I'm older and actually know what a roguelike is? Or do you think the hame still holds up?
