Support NeoGAF

[tusken77]

I can't wait to immerse myself in this game. I adore WipEout HD's Zone Mode, I know I'll love Dyad.

My question: Shawn, did you not add 3D support for fear of people's heads exploding from the overwhelming awesome?

 

[Arcteryx]

Dayummmmm. Looks like an insane version of Rez, so definitely bought whenever it pops up on the store.

 

[reson8or]

What impresses me about the game from what I have seen/heard (been following its progress for some time) is that it is constantly adding new gameplay mechanics.

My question is: How did you get your inspiration for the games mechanics? Its at the same time familiar, and new... am really curious as to what inspired this game.

 

[schwabdizzle]

I am sure this game will get media attention when it causes people to have seizures.

 

[Clunker]

In about 10 minutes, I've gone from knowing nothing about this game to needing it desperately in my life. This kind of impulsive, instinctual, synergy-of-audio-visuals-and-gameplay package is exactly why I play games, and I'd heard about this title before on a few podcasts but they did a pretty poor job of explaining what Dyad really is. Though I suppose this is a kind of "picture is worth a thousand words" case.

 

[nofi]

Currently #1 for the first level...

 

[Addnan]

The game looks crazy, not really sure whats going on. Sad that its not releasing in EU at the same time. I look forward to it.

 

[stryke]

Were there any original ideas or concepts that you previously thought of that you thought was cool but was too difficult to implement or didn't fit within the game's mechanics?

What kind of scenarios or stages of the development of Dyad did you encounter what may be equivalent to "writer's block" and what have you learnt from making this game that may/will affect your future gaming endeavors?

Thanks for the opportunity, saw the previews of Dyad during E3 and very much looking forward to it.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Me eyes and me brain started to hurt after watching the preview trailer. Looks great, though.

 

[V_Ben]

God damn it Wario. You're far too good at this.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm really looking forward to the game, hope it's as sensory overloading as they say. I've purposely not watched too many videos because I don't want the visuals and music 'spoiled' for me.

 

[CinosAges]

Shawn, it's like your goal was to give eye orgasms to color blind people. As a colorblind person, thank you.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Need more Justin McElroy up in this bitch!

I'm still laughing from Justin's facial expressions! And holy fuck, this game looks awesome. This should have been in PSN Play 2012 instead of Expendables.

 

[Ridley327]

As if my noticing the Jeff Minter similarities weren't strong enough, one of the trophy names has a very direct reference to one of his games.

 

[devwil]

Question: Are there any colors that are not featured in Dyad? Do you plan to release these colors as DLC?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Question: What was your design process like? How many iterations of the game have you gone through to get it to the point where it's FDA approved and ready for public consumption?

 

[Nivert]

This will be a long week to wait.

 

[Corto]

Currently #1 for the first level...

Well, big fish in a small pond and all that.

/jealous mode

 

[V_Ben]

Currently playing the last level. I have no idea what the fuck is going on. I love it.

 

[blackgandorf]

Questions: How do you construct the gameplay mechanics on this game? You used testers of all ages for this?

Are you a fractal phenomena die-hard fan? do you like kaleidoscopes?

 

[Canis lupus]

@Shawn: Is it possible to include Dyad in the PSN Play for Europe(if there will be one this year)?

 

[Wario64]

Currently #1 for the first level...

But...what about the other levels?

 

[StevePharma]

Man I want to play this so bad. Can't wait for Euro release date. Please be soon!



Question: will we be able to buy some sort of OST for the game?


Call me shallow but the fact that the game has a platinum trophy and the way trophies are implemented make me extra hyped.

 

[SSReborn]

It just gets crazier and crazier. You can turn on all sorts of visual and audio options for levels, to the point where it looks like your PS3's graphics chip is slowly dying. Its incredible.

Oh man next week cant come soon enough

 

[Fuzzy]

Here's another question not only for Shawn but also to the people already playing: What kind of messed dreams did you guys have last night after playing Dyad?

 

[Wario64]

Here's another question not only for Shawn but also to the people already playing: What kind of messed dreams did you guys have last night after playing Dyad?

I don't dream, so none. I just had less sleep cause I stayed up late playing Dyad then woke up playing more Dyad

 

[Fuzzy]

I don't dream, so none. I just had less sleep cause I stayed up late playing Dyad then woke up playing more Dyad

I knew you were a weirdo.

 

[ascully]

I have no idea how the game is played from looking at the videos, but being a fan of Minter and anything trippy like this it's a day one purchase for me

 

[LiquidSword]

The gifs in the OP are amazing! Can't wait to play this next week.

Question:Had you been drawing psychedelic art before you started designing Dyad?

 

[Pachterballs]

this is all over twitter. Any good??

 

[murderofMonkey]

that game would be nuts on the vita

 

[kassatsu]

Ben's review is live

http://www.psnstores.com/review/review-dyad/

He really liked it.

 

[Wario64]

Robots don't have feelings or dreams

 

[Americanmushroom]

Shaun, will i be able to enjoy the game at his fullest without the drugs? i just stopped... should i consider buying some just in case?

 

[bender]

Robots don't have feelings or dreams

Not true skin tube.

Never heard of Dyad before today but I can't wait to try it. Those Just McElroy faces just sold me on the game.

 

[Corto]

Shaun, will i be able to enjoy the game at his fullest without the drugs? i just stopped... should i consider buying some just in case?

Think of it as your methadone program.

 

[Item_Screen]

Did I mention this game releases on my birthday?

 

[NoirVisage]

Interactive screensavers.

LOL......first post nails it!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I want this
When does it release in Europe?

 

[spats]

I want this
When does it release in Europe?

In a few months.

 

[Misguided]

For all of you that are upset that it's not being released in Europe, can't you just make a US account, buy it with that account, and then access it with your main Euro account?

 

[RPGamer92]

Lucky Wario, I'd like a copy early :/

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Subbed.

This looks mindblowing.gif

 

[Wario64]

I love messing around the menus in this game. I swear the Rez tap-fire sound effect is in this game


Hint:

Spoiler

press the triggers and move the right analog stick around

Leaderboards down?

 

[Cramoss]

Rez is one of my favorite games ever, so this is like a must-play for me. I'll try this one out.

 

[ShawnMcGrath]

Still sending out press emails, I only slept for 3 hours last night and I dunno if I'll be able to get through them all today! I will probably have to delay answering questions until tonight - sorry!

You can follow me on twitter @DyadGame - once I get 1337 (LOL!) followers I'll be giving codes away.

 

[sarcoa]

Heh, the current leaderboard might as well be a gaf member list.

 

[kassatsu]

Some more gameplay

[Wario64]

That feeling when you get consecutive zip lines + lance + a line full of enemies


THAT FEELING
