Transistor's overarching combination of the design, music and art, came together with such impact. The soundtrack is still in my rotation, and will probably always will be.

I'm glad that Red became the protagonist. She is easily my favorite character of all Supergiant games.

The only gripe I've ever had with Transistor was just the fact that I was so desperately craving more from the world by the end. It was innovative and stylish and unlike anything I'd been a part of before as a player. Even to this day, I yearn for more from it. I wouldn't necessarily want a sequel, because the story of Red and her sword boyfriend was wrapped up in a way that definitively closed the door on further character exploration, but I had so many questions about Cloudbank, about the country, about Royce and the Camerata and more! And after watching this video I really can see the ways that maybe Supergiant was scared and more focused on getting it done at the time. <br><br>But man. This was Supergiant in the throes of anxiety, in the midst of some of their worst growing pains as a studio... and they still pulled Transistor off. What a fucking game.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL2Pk2jP_6s&t=1958">32:38</a> No way. I'm 36, so let me tell you that it has nothing to do with nostalgia. Bastion was great, but Transistor is truly magical. It's the kind of game that people will love forever, and new people will keep discovering it down the line.

Very happy you were able to interview Ashley for this one. She's such an important part of Transistor's soundtrack, it's great to hear some insight from her. :)

Transistor is one of my most cherished gaming experiences. Everything from the soundtrack to the narrative and the visuals is just so masterfully executed.
