So I'm making it! It's already really fun, and lots of work to go. If you want to try it out, PM me!

XFCE seemed like the perfect environment to make a Hyper Light Drifter theme and it's so damn fun to customize. Sharing is caring so if you want to use it, here you go.

repo: https://github.com/QuidRides/Hyper-Light-Drifter-i3mw-xfce-dotfiles/tree/main

The repo also includes everything for the i3 window manager too since the two work together so well.

I was stuck for a while on my first playthrough, yah know.
Then I finally hit that learning curve. I didn't care for my surroundings, I was a killer in combat.
Boss after boss, upgrade after upgrade. Then I finally beat it. The ending scene plays, and I am confused. I feel bad for this guy and all the things I saw.

I didn't understand anything that is going on. Weird text, confusing imagery, all peaked my curiosity. So I started digging, looking up lore, reading the transcribes from the Librarian. I was so sad, like wow. The titans that caused all this, the battle for resources... After digging through lore all night, I slept.

The next day, I decided to do another run.
And as I am playing it,
Its so hard to keep pushing through all the sadness 😭
The tortured, frozen and lifeless bodies through this campaign. 😭

Anyway, love this game lol. Very artistic, 9/10.

I'm back. I drew this in Geometry class (as you can tell by the math at the top)

Here's the translation.

Drifter: "No. No math. Math is hard" (I think math is pretty easy so far. It only gets hard if you ain't paying attention :3)

Guardian: "Wow"

Alt: "Lunch is my favorite"

Guardian: "Of course"

Above the fish in the corner: "Fih"

Hi everyone! I’ve just started the game and I’m loving it so far. I’ve got the three gems in the east area, but I’m stuck trying to find the fourth one.

I guess I’m supposed to go to the red-circled purple point on the map, but I couldn’t find any way to get there. This is where I am right now in the first photo. The underground map shows a purple path from where I am, but I couldn’t find a way to access it. Is there some secret passage I’m missing?

It took me about an hour to get the three gems, but I’ve been wandering around for two hours now looking for the fourth one and still can’t figure out how to get there lol.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

After way too many attempts, I finally managed to complete all 5 Horde Arenas without taking a single hit on NG+.

I recorded the whole thing if anyone's interested:

It's called Vicarius and it will be available on Steam on October 12th.

Had an absolute blast as the Drifter, thrilled he got so much recognition! ^^

I'm stuck (again) after killing the North boss- The Hierophant.

I want to explore the southern region but I don't understand how these puzzles work. Do I find the first button, then walk in the direction of the next arrow? Or are the buttons in the direction the arrows are pointing from the blocks? (I hope this makes sense...)

Can someone please explain how these puzzles work 🙏

I am in the western area of this game in an underground section and don't understand how to get tot he other side of this gap.

I thought I needed to upgrade my dash but that didn't work out and I've tried to shoot the switch once and repeatedly to no avail.

Anyone have a solution? I've been stuck here for so long (I know you can progress further into the underground area but I want to get behind the locked door on this level and I want the module...)

Thank you so much!

I've never posted in reddit so idk if any of the pictures will get cut off. I love drawing them because almost this whole face is covered up. Also the pictures should be in order of oldest to newest.

Any headcanons about them? I'd love to hear your theories!

Just rolled credits, what a fucking ride.

I am struck I don't know what to do now

I have completed

6 of the north

4 of the east

5 in south

3 in west

I have unlocked 2 key but haven't used them any where .

How do I progress.

just like a quickaroo rundown of my self-indulgent headcanons for this dying ill blu that I'm unhealthily snooped out over because why not

Past/pre-judgement

•darker, vibrant, and smoother fur with little tufts here and there

•longer and more silkier hair

•despite being well completely hopeless in finding the true meaning of his life, it wasn't exactly empty as he *did* have friends and family he could consider as such

Present/during judgement

•lighter, duller, and somewhat scattered+rough fur. tufts are more present especially around his body

•neck-length and softer hair

•anybody he'd deem as family, friends or even allies won't stay around. not even for a month, not even for a second. not even to tell them "sorry", not even to tell them "thank you"

My health is 8 and the guides that lead me to secrets i missed always has 5. And i heard this game is hard but with 8 health its pretty fine. Did i fuck up and put it on easy mode? How do i change back if so? im also playing on mobile btw

Edit: Sorry guys there were a lot of applicants, I will message the firsts one who wrote me! So please dont message me anymore.

Hey there,

Bought this poster years ago (nearly a decade lol) and never found the spot to pin it to the wall. But I think maybe someone here would be happy to have it. I would give it away for free if the person pays the shipping costs. Ships from Germany.

Reach out to me if you are interested :)

Edit: Poster size is 30cm*45cm

So I just finished Hyper Light Drifter and HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUN. I won't talk about the cool mechanics and the FUCKING BEATIFUL art because I think that'd be like saying the sky is blue. I want to talk about the lore, or what I think the lore is as well as some questions for you guys on what to do now that I finished the game.

Mind you, I haven't looked at any guides and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of stuff I missed, also, all names here are entirely made up by me so please, bear with me.

So we follow the drifter (That's what I call them) in their journey through the land of Hyper Light, a place that was once a prosperous country/kingdom before a catastrophic event occurred that left its capital buried deep underground and the surrounding areas to be scarred forever, this seems to coincide with the arrival of machines of gargantuan proportions, who I will refer to as titans.

Hyper Light seems to be divided into five different districts: The coastal ruins (East of the main town), The high monasteries (North), The crystal forest (West), the Desert (South) and the capital remains at its center.

The titans seem to be machines created at the underground laboratories at the southern desert of Hyper Light that went rogue and started attacking its citizens (They developed guns to fight them, like the crystal cannons found in the scarlet forest).

Now, the drifter's motives for their travel seem to be following a mysterious hound-shaped entity that started appearing alongside an illness the drifter suffers. This illness, aside from causing them to cough blood, connects them to another entity who I'll just call Evil Bobby. Bobby's entire goal seems to be purely to kill the drifter.

After raising the strange pillars found in each of the districts of Hyper Light as well as at least four energy cells (The rhombus slices that you find all over the region) you can access the Forgotten Capital, which seems to be Bobby's home and after facing him, the drifter will destroy a sort of engine that seemed to be keeping the remains of the capital from collapsing and while Bobby's dead, the drifter's sickness is now even worse. It seems that the hound had planned this all along somehow, as they accompany the drifter before the entire place collapses and they leave.

I didn't understand the rest lol, sorry.

Nowwwwwwww, after all that, I want to ask what's next, I know I unlocked the boss rush mode, it seems fun, but I want to find all secrets of the main game first. For one, there seems to be more energy cells to be found, as each district has at least one door that requires 8 of them, idk what's behind the doors or how to find the remaining cells, since only a few of them are marked in the map. There's also some tablets I found that show some text after scanning them, but everything's in strange symbols, is there some cypher a need to find to be able to read them? There are also many doors that require some keys I need to find, I only got two I think and those were pretty damn hidden and idk where the rest of them might be.

Thanks for reading, please tell me if I'm wrong about something or if you have some advice on how to find all the secrets of the game. Remember to drink water!

I really liked this shot so I decided to make it 3D with Blender

(I doubt it'd ever be relevant to this topic, but please avoid any spoilers for the game or story if you can!)
I'm just getting into the game for the first time and I'm currently 9 hours into the game, but I played all of that on my girlfriends PC while I was staying with her for a few days, but now that I'm back home and tried to play on my device, the data isn't available. It doesn't seem to be a steam or connection error because my achievements and total time played still display as they should, but the save file is gone. I asked my girlfriend and she says the save file is still appearing on her PC.
