UNLISTED YOUTUBE LINK: https://youtu.be/-NtGEpfzgzY

Hey folks,

And here it is. In the finale of our series on Disco Elysium we explore the turbulence of life after launch, how it affected those involved, and the legacy and lessons that Disco Elysium leaves us. Chapters below;

00:00 - Intro
02:10 - Burnout
06:13 - The Split
13:47 - Losing Elysium
22:46 - We're Not Talking About That
30:57 - The Years Since
36:48 - Lessons & Legacy
41:43 - CREDITS

This has been a long project for us which took me longer to finalize than I had hoped, so I really appreciate your patience with the release schedule.

More than anything I hope you've enjoyed it. It's a fairly bittersweet story but I'm very grateful to everyone who talked to us and allowed us the access to tell a story about this wonderful game.

Talk soon,

Danny

Guessing there's a lot on the cutting room floor even with six episodes. Feels weird there is only a passing mention by one of writers to the (British) Sea Power soundtrack. Obviously not part of the core team or drama but seems like a blind spot, and their soundtrack definitely contributed to the feel of the game. Considering the huge amount of musical references (dialogue, place names, character names and portraits, even the title could be traced to manic Street Preachers Miss Europa Disco Dancer) in the game, definitely feels like there could be a minisode for music if willpower (a huge well made docuseries already given what's happening in real life of the creators) and time allows. Keep up the great work.

I forget where but Danny had responded to a comment (either here on Patreon or on Youtube) asking about British Sea Power as well. He had mentioned they had reached out but weren't able to get a hold of them, and that this could be an extension episode in the future.
