You are telling me ZAUM game developers worked throughout the turmoil at the studio on a little, but seemingly ambitious spin-off of Disco Elysium that then got scrapped with the developers being fired unceremoniously, but then that also someone of them managed to leak the notes on which the fans latched to distill the story that is gone but also now saved in some way and thus no longer forgotten? Elytical.

Just finished this fanart for a game that doesn’t even exist. Locust City (X7) is a cancelled Disco Elysium sequel btw.

Beastmaster Raccoono. That was one of his skills. BEASTMASTER RACCOONO. And geomancer C with her water connection!

we can never forget what ZA/UM took from us, never forget how they bastardized Disco Elysium and let their creatives rot in judicial hell. justice for locust city!! justice for what could have been! do not let their story die!! fuck ZA/UM!!

The Rise and Ruin of Locust City, an all-too-Elysium Story.

Backed with evidence, this is the true story of events that took place in Zaum studio between June 2022 and February 2024.

I blew the whistle on workplace abuses at ZA/UM

One last look at the mismanagement and misinformation campaign which killed Locust City.

Locust City STILL makes me want to cry.

Not because "it will never happen", no no.

To me Locust City already exists. Maybe not as a game, maybe not right now (don't break my illusion, im coping), but we have enough concepts and ideas to know more or less how it was going to play out, the possible endings, and the journey Cuno and Cunoesse embarked in.

No, what makes me cry is that FOUR OUT OF 5 ENDINGS END IN TRAGEDY FOR THESE TWO.

1) Cuno Dies

2) Cuno is brainwashed into thinking he's the kid Cunoesse murdered.

3) Cunoesse Dies

4) THEY BOTH DIE???

LIKE, THEY ARE ALL (to me) BAD ENDINGS. THEY ONLY HAVE EACHOTHER AND NOWHERE ELSE TO GO, SO IF ONE OF THEM DIES THE OTHER IS LEFT STRANDED AND ALONE.

THEN THE ONE WHERE THEY BOTH DIE.

AND THEN THE ONE WHERE CUNO LOSES ALL SENSE OF WHO HE WAS????

The "good ending" is the one where they leave and make a "new tribe" together, and even THAT ONE was in the questioning stage according to the Miro board.

THESE TWO HAVE BEEN SO FUCKED OVER BY THE WORLD, THAT 4 TIMES OUT OF 5 THEIR END IS TRAGIC.

I love Locust City so much you have no idea.
