Yeah, I was wondering how much of the original staff was left. I know a lot of them splintered into 3 or 4 different companies. It looks like the "true" successor will be SUMMER ETERNAL but there are a few others that look promising.
What is the "True successor"? Kurvitz, Rostov and Hindpere are in Red Info and no one knows what they're making and it's a traditional company with investors and junk.
Summer Eternal is a cooperative and big into the communism thing, but none of the people who started Summer Eternal held senior roles during the development of Disco Elysium iirc. Also some of the original Disco Elysium staff already left.
We need the ”we're building a classless, moneyless and stateless society” comic except with ”we're making a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium”.
I don't know what comic you're referring to, but yeah "We're former ZA/UM and we're making a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium" is a wide category with a lot of caveats for every participant.
Mr. Elysium is helping me build my game
I posted a thread for Esoteric Ebb which is probably the (one of the?) first of the upcoming wave of directly by Disc Elysium inspired games. (The devs have nothing to do with ZA/UM if im not mistaken)
There are some pretty cool disco elysium inspired games.
Lovely ladies rpg has some positive buzz around it. But I haven't played it.
Rue Valley also looks very clearly inspired by disco elysium and the premise of time loop therapy sounds interesting.
Both of those are already out.
Coming up is Travelling At Night which is gonna be so ass. Gonna add Esoteric Ebb to the list
