OKAY THOUGHT
You know how Duke 3D had Dukematch instead of Deathmatch
How about Dusk gets DUSKmatch

We already had that idea 6 months ago

Well umm could i risk a warning with a softcore pic

@thorn trout Any opinion on Steam Audio? There is a unity plugin i think is free, just in case you were interested :p
thorn trout
No opinion as of yet!
feral solar
Idk what it's for
vague egret
its for accurate positional audio. like being able to hear foot steps and accurately figuring out where they are coming from
feral solar
isnt that already a thing?
thorn trout
I believe this is also taking stuff like reverb and stuff into account
past linden
Just like any new tech like that it could be really cool if it's done right but i don't see it getting big anytime soon since it's something devs have to put in the games.
Kinda like PhysX
But easier to implement
And not just for a specific hardware manufacturer
That being said ROTT used PhysX pretty damn well
mild ginkgo
unity's integrated solution is PhysX as well
i cant believe its Randy Vs Tim
this tournament couldnt have worked out better
fair mirage
i really wish devs would spend more time working on the soundscape
proper 3d audio is the tits
feral solar
no codes dropped today?
crimson folio
Guess not, either that or its coming later.
thorn trout
the ways of Dave are mysterious
crimson folio
dave himself is an enigma
thorn trout
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
past linden
A better question's: when that pax build gonna drop?
crystal vessel
When it's ready
verbal sand
when could you guys give out alphas
nevermind i know now
if you guys arent sending out keys still could you tell me
verbal sand
anyone still claim em
atomic egret
uh
no
there's 198 people who are online right now
and that doesn't include everyone who's not currently noline
and if you're only here to lurk for keys that's just sad
thorn trout
there's 800+ members last I checked
narrow mica
Like the 6000 SUX from robocop
atomic egret
god dammit missed it again
exotic ibex
dave
stop posting keys the moment i look away.
you've done this to me three times
i want to cry
atomic egret
@exotic ibex I know how you feel
exotic ibex
nah fam
i shit you not
like
the minute i look away
he posts one
within the next 60 seconds
hes doen this three times
exotic ibex
the worst part is whoever took that key grabed it, said nothing, and left.
verbal sand
to see how many people have to wait
atomic egret
oh god
prisma halo
and you have to type a command to "reserve" your key
and it PMs you the key
and says you got it
in chat
exotic ibex
whip one up
atomic egret
people might find out how to manip it
prisma halo
maybe I will
exotic ibex
and force dave to implement it
verbal sand
it would lose the whole point
exotic ibex
well someone here got to go around the entire key drop process
prisma halo
Dave has to approve it
exotic ibex
i wont name any names
exotic ibex
but at this point i dont think the point is still there totally
gleaming berry
I give random keys out all over the place
verbal sand
tho im not mad its great
prisma halo
rekt
exotic ibex
ill trade you my mom for a key
verbal sand
good marketing
exotic ibex
you know you want this trade
prisma halo
oh shit hurry it up boys
exotic ibex
GOOD ENWS FOR YOU
YOU GET A NEW MOM
BAD NEWS FOR ME
I HAVE NO ONE BUYING MY FOOD
TIME FOR DUSK TILL I DIE
atomic egret
xFUCK
exotic ibex
you have a point
atomic egret
I WAS READING PREVIOUS MESSAGES WHEN HE DROPPED THE KEY
prisma halo
lmao
atomic egret
just kill me now
verbal sand
well its seems theres like 10 people probably left
so maybe we wont need to continue to wait

A WILD SAVE SYSTEM APPEARS
mild ginkgo
need that quickload for speedrun resets
prisma halo
neato
finally, a game coming out in recent years to have a proper fucking save system
single-slot quicksaves don't count, ROTT
exotic ibex
its only the demo level tho
mild ginkgo
SO
mild ginkgo
didnt stop me from putting 20 hours into it roflmao
prisma halo
lmao
exotic ibex
sliding into a group of scarecrows
and blasting them all away with a super shotty blast
is 10/10
mild ginkgo
i prefer bunny hopping at max speed until im like an inch away from an enemy THEN blasting them away with a super shotty
prisma halo
I'm waiting for that QuakeCon build so I can start scriptifying the AI
exotic ibex
its just a tad annoying. i wanted to know if it was common or just me
prisma halo
what settings are you playing on
mild ginkgo
ive never experienced it
exotic ibex
1996 in launcher
prisma halo
I dunno then
mild ginkgo
so only 30% rate out of the 3 of us
gleaming berry
666 fps lol
mild ginkgo
1996 is technically the most demanding setting
mild ginkgo
it has two camera post processing effects vs the one bloom
prisma halo
I'll post that earlier dawn build since it also lets you hide the hud
mild ginkgo
1996 may LOOK bad, but its rendered at full resolution and color, then downsampled
prisma halo
exotic ibex
ill try 1998
mild ginkgo
1998 has the best performance
prisma halo
dump that in your Dusk folder and use it to run the game instead of Steam
gives you some options to uncap the FPS, and you can toggle the HUD ingame with G or H, I forget what key it's bound to
mild ginkgo
cheers zombie 🍺
prisma halo
that's the same one I posted a few days ago, pretty sure you already got that @mild ginkgo :p
exotic ibex
thanks zombie
prisma halo
np
exotic ibex
you slavic black magic practicing aussie
prisma halo
the one and only
exotic ibex
whats the difference between standard and dawnless?
mild ginkgo
any cool secret arguments?
prisma halo
dawnless runs the game normally
exotic ibex
i assume dawnless is without the modifications from this
prisma halo
doesn't hook the game
exotic ibex
ye
prisma halo
yeah
exotic ibex
just making sure
prisma halo
@mild ginkgo not yet
mild ginkgo
:^)
exotic ibex
im not sure if its dawn that did it or 1998 but my fps issue is gone
prisma halo
side note
if you still want to run the game through steam
rename these files:
Dusk Pre Pre Pre Alpha.exe -> Dusk.exe
Dusk Pre Pre Pre Alpha_Data -> Data
Dawn.Launcher.exe -> Dusk Pre Pre Pre Alpha.exe
prisma halo
(the Dawn launcher currently doesn't like the Steam overlay so if you get the overlay popup inside the launcher don't click it)
exotic ibex
im just looking for it to record my playtime
prisma halo
I figured
mild ginkgo
seems like a WONTFIX to me
exotic ibex
i have a feeling im gonna spend some time in endless
mild ginkgo
lol
i have yet to determine if the bunnyhop controller david put in is effected by uncapped framerate
depends on if he made the changes in Update() or not
prisma halo
grab ILSpy and see for yerself
(also grab the Reflexil plugin if you wanna change the behaviour)
exotic ibex
yo
we need a rip
of the endless mode track
so i can loop that shit through winamp
mild ginkgo
maybe some time when its not 2:30 am, id need to dig through where he even has it
exotic ibex
for my everyday needs
prisma halo
all of the music from the steam build was ripped a while back
probably in the backlog somewhere
exotic ibex
FFFFFFFUUUUCK YEEAH
prisma halo
there's unused music from the campaign in the files though :p
unused in the build, I mean
exotic ibex
right
fuck this game is gonna be amazing finished
it might actually dethrone serious sam for me
exotic ibex
if we get an episode that has serious sam level of overwhelming nubmers
prisma halo
yes
exotic ibex
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoice
mild ginkgo
did you get the models from asset explorer? or did you just dump gpu memory?
prisma halo
me?
mild ginkgo
yeah
prisma halo
I ripped the models the right way™
how would I get animations by dumping from GPU memory?
mild ginkgo
i forgot you had anims actually
prisma halo
SB3Utility best tool
mild ginkgo
never heard of it, usually dont tear apart unity games, so the last time i did it i used Asset Explorer
which in general, was pretty bad
crystal vessel
@exotic ibex I'm loving how happy you are
exotic ibex
IM SO HAPPY
IM SO GOD DAMN FUCKING HAPPY
my friend wants to play cs:go but i dont wanna stop playing dusk
exotic ibex
whats the quickest time one the demo level?
exotic ibex
fuuuck me
mild ginkgo
if you play glitched, the record is like 24
exotic ibex
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
welp
looks like im not getting what i wanted done tonight
mild ginkgo
give in to dusk
atomic egret
does anyone have the video of the guy doing it completely upside down
gleaming berry
exotic ibex
how the fuck?
mild ginkgo
we have yet to have a legitimate upside down %
gleaming berry
Saving and loading confirmed working
mild ginkgo
fuckin NICE
gleaming berry
back and forth between level 1 and level S
prisma halo
now break it
mild ginkgo
how fast is it?
gleaming berry
pretty fast
mild ginkgo
good
gleaming berry
like 5 seconds or so
prisma halo
where do the savegames get saved?
gleaming berry
good question
mild ginkgo
Appdata
atomic egret
the y axis is unlocked
mild ginkgo
only while airborne
prisma halo
shame I can't rip the meat lass animations due to there being no animator for the meat lass present in the old builds though
I can get the model
just no anims
mild ginkgo
@exotic ibex
dont forget to IDKFA
:^)
woah nasty bug if you idkfa then try to pick up the secret super shotgun
mild ginkgo
yeah ammo count
rip
treats it like ammo so it wont let you pick it up but its also a weapon so it does
theres also a bug where you can load the scene with a pistol
but i havent figured out what causes it
i dont think it wipes player data cleanly
prisma halo
probably
atomic egret
@prisma halo when dawn is ready for the full release will you be able to do crazy custom weapon mods like russian overkill?
prisma halo
yes
mild ginkgo
its probably more than just the pistol
but speedrunning makes you spam restart, and the pistol is right there
so occasionally ill have dualies in the first hallway without picking up the second
prisma halo
I've noticed that bug too
mild ginkgo
i wish i could get it down to repro
i already sunk too much time into testing a 9 month old build
or however old it is
atomic egret
paging bread knight for too many super shotguns dusk edition
mild ginkgo
he most certainly will do that
atomic egret
perfect
prisma halo
but will it be 2d or 3d weapons 🤔
atomic egret
:(
mild ginkgo
unless he gets damien to do it
prisma halo
guess I gotta make sure 2D weapons are doable on release then
prisma halo
Yeah
exotic ibex
holy shit what is this sword
prisma halo
The way Unity handles a lot of things makes me want to die
mild ginkgo
i guess you could just put a textured quad
and animate the texture
so its doable actually
prisma halo
use a GUI canvas lel
mild ginkgo
unity is pretty loose with shaders
prisma halo
compile them, then dump them into a template since Unity packages the compiled GLSL
mild ginkgo
youll find a way
prisma halo
then I need to generate an asset bundle myself
to load the shaders
because they removed the ability to load shaders via string
mild ginkgo
did they? i mustve missed that
prisma halo
as of Unity 5
prisma halo
which means I need to fuck around with figuring out the .assets format again
mild ginkgo
that was a fucking nightmare
prisma halo
the SB3Utility source will be helpful there
mild ginkgo
we broke the build at 3am before the show
prisma halo
rip
prisma halo
still not great though
mild ginkgo
yeah i havent used it for a project since then
because it scarred me real bad
and turned me off of mobile dev in general
its the reason i have a million Nvidia shields
prisma halo
hahahahaha
mild ginkgo
a million minus one
because i gave one to @quiet rose
but yeah, DONT GET THOSE FOR DEV MACHINES
THE SCREEN IS 16:10
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK
prisma halo
u wot
mild ginkgo
it made me very unhappy to make a 16:9 mobile game and have to test it on a 16:10 screen
atomic egret
my screen is 16:10
mild ginkgo
id never been more angry with a resolution
mild ginkgo
theres nothing WRONG with 16:10
its just that literally every mobile device is 16:9
so producting content that looks good is nigh impossible
atomic egret
except for the fact that almost nothing is made to fit the aspect ratio
mild ginkgo
@exotic ibex sword has instagib at 100 health and above, like zeldo
did tou get it via idkfa or secret?
exotic ibex
idkfa
prisma halo
ye
mild ginkgo
GO FIND THE SECRETS FIRST YA TWAT
exotic ibex
might be an underdeveloped upgrade to the sickles
mild ginkgo
the SOAP is the secret power weapon
prisma halo
it's in the level
exotic ibex
o
prisma halo
the sword isn't unused or anything
atomic egret
soap%
mild ginkgo
soap% is gr8
exotic ibex
ill find the secrets later nerd @mild ginkgo
mild ginkgo
dont drop the soap HANK
exotic ibex
if i do then someone in for a not so great surprise
exotic ibex
does the purple sign in the attic have a secret to it?
prisma halo
there's an entire script in the game devoted to cooking a single item lmao
exotic ibex
nice
prisma halo
and I don't think it does
mild ginkgo
No its useless
prisma halo
I originally thought it was a deactivated teleporter that you'd switch on to reach the roof
but nope that's not how you get on the roof
exotic ibex
fuck i literally can not wait for this to be finished
atomic egret
DONT DROP THE SOAP HANK
exotic ibex
i dont think they want any action from a guy with herpes in his name
atomic egret
you'd be surprised
mild ginkgo
hm, i think SSG has a weaponswitch bug
yeah
if you switch to SSG and fire a round, you cant quickswap back to your prev weapon
atomic egret
I mean come on hank haven't you seen pulp fiction
prisma halo
that's a strange bug
prisma halo
hmm
prisma halo
does it only happen if you fire?
mild ginkgo
and dual shotties
yes
if you dont fire you can swap back
the only weaponsit DOESNT happen on are pistol, assault rifle, and riveter
and i think schythes
it DOES break with sword
anyways this is why they call me #1 tester
prisma halo
looking at the code atm
mild ginkgo
@thorn trout
just in case
im sure we'll figure it out
but itll be good for him to know if he hasnt fixed it already
prisma halo
does it happen with single shotty?
exotic ibex
is there a current record on the endless mode?
prisma halo
<Zombie> does it happen with single shotty?
prisma halo
hmm
mild ginkgo
also confirmed sickles work properly
so sickles, pistols, assault rifle, and riveter
are the only ones working properly
prisma halo
including dual pistols?
mild ginkgo
yep
prisma halo
I'll try
exotic ibex
the process is swap to a eapon, firing then attempt to quick switch to another?
mild ginkgo
yeah, quick swap (default binding is Q)
exotic ibex
ill test myself after this cs:go match
mild ginkgo
specifically test it with ssg as the weapon you fire
exotic ibex
ill test it in warm up. fuck it
mild ginkgo
just because its easy to get rightat the beginning
mild ginkgo
ok interesting
mild ginkgo
yeah i was just super impatient with the ones i noticed it on
prisma halo
okay I think I know why it happens now
mild ginkgo
i cant get the pistol to do it though, but i guess thats because its cycle time being so fast
prisma halo
just mash Q as fast as you can while firing
like, hold the fire button
and start mashing Q
prisma halo
kek
mild ginkgo
whatever, either way, we found something david is likely unaware of
so i think we contributed to the greater good
prisma halo
inb4 it's already fixed
mild ginkgo
could DEFINITELY be the case
prisma halo
@gleaming berry can you confirm?
mild ginkgo
i discovered it because i was trying to create buffer tech for grenade jumps
but swapping too fast to see what i could buffer caused the bug
also, this falls into suggestion territory, PLEASE allow the grenade launcher to be switched off of faster
i guess we dont really need that if you fix the bug
because i can just mash till it switches
but trying to time it at such a long interval is rough
ive got a pretty reliable buffer though
fire grenade, one normal shotgun shot cycle, jump
tbh you can just jump a little bit after weaponswitch and it will mostly work
by just eyeballing it
prisma halo
autohotkey script lmao
mild ginkgo
but this is with old explosion physics
the new ones blast you in an actual direction instead of vaguely "up"
so this buffer tech is probably useless until i get that version
gleaming berry

Wait who wants to tweet at Dave
acoustic oriole
really late, but congrats @exotic ibex for the key, and my condolences for the trade
exotic ibex
it was worth it
acoustic oriole
LOL
exotic ibex
gonna try and break 200 kills in endless mode in a bit
acoustic oriole
and then fix your own lunch. ^^
acoustic oriole
lol
the movement is so damn good. I can't wait to see how it's improved
(except for those ladders straight outta hell. most fearsome enemy in the pre-alpha)
exotic ibex
i looked away fro one minute
dave posted a key and i lost it to someone who said nothign. took it and ran
just go
look at the chat log
its pre good

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Alright cool
slate edge
exotic ibex
acoustic oriole
lol tmw you're wondering "is this too far? I'm not sure anymore"
exotic ibex
regret will slowly creep in
until dave allows the pax build to be uploaded
then its back to "TOTALY FUCKIGN WORTH IT"
slate edge
PAX is going to Dave dancing and singing "Cant touch this" with a prototype Dusk copy
exotic ibex
i literally can not wait for dusk to be expanded on and finished
it could legit overthrow serious sam as my favorite FPS
slate edge
You can.
acoustic oriole
my impressions from the pre-alpha make me feel like it's gonna overthrow a lot of my all-time favorite FPS. the more I play it, the more I feel it's not just the hype talking
it's so fast
exotic ibex
yeah, this could legit be one of those games to inspire others like it
slate edge
Dusk is a game that understands what an oldschool shooter is, there is no newschool compromises, other than maybe physics or controls. Its simple, and only complex where absolutely necessary, making it easy and enjoyable to pick up and play.
quiet rose
quiet rose
excuse me
slate edge

quiet rose
ya m8
slate edge
You could just go to general, then go to your bathroom and use the appropriate toileting facilities
exotic ibex
u rite
acoustic oriole
@slate edge yep. That's why I have such confidence in the game. The people behind it know what an oldschool shooter is, and as a result, the game is exactly what it advertises itself to be, unlike many other games that only got a mere few elements nailed down while compromising with other modern ones
plus they're 100% transparent with the game
slate edge
The problem i had with doom 2016 is that some the stuff like collectibles and upgrades kinda distracted me from kicking ass, the game also needs more ass to kick
when a game about kicking ass has insufficient ass, its a sad day indeed
acoustic oriole
my overall experience with DOOM 2016 was extremely positive. But I had a few issues which kinda started nagging at me after the hype died down. Such as the 12 demon limit.
and while I still love the chainsaw there, I REALLY wanted just a regular mechanic of slashing through enemies
and not instant kill animation
slate edge
^^
Its a good game, but if i was in charge of the project, I would have added maybe 2-3 more levels and maybe bumped up the murder a bit.
past linden
Doom 16 was good, but Doom and Doom 64 were better
And the multiplayer was kinda shit, that brought the whole thing down in my mind
And even on nightmare the end was a little too easy
slate edge
not if u have only 1 gb vram xD
acoustic oriole
the multiplayer was shit if you look at it like an "arena shooter"
otherwise its just "standard"
but I honestly never waited for DOOM 16 for that
only wanted a good singleplayer campaign, which worked really well for the most part, but it doesn't have a lot of replayabillity
and SnapMap is just... no. It's great that they added all the stuff that they did, but it won't matter in the end
it doesn't feel like you really own the maps that you make. It's all in a server which may or may not last forever and you made it all with limited assets
crimson folio
The only "bad" thing about Doom 16 was it was too easy, even on highest difficulty. Otherwise it's a superb game imo. And the multiplayer is shit. That too
past linden
If you only have a gig of Vram why are you trying to play Doom 16 in the first place?!
The Witcher 3 was a shit game because i couldn't play it with my IBM PC
(I did however have a lot of fun playing it with the keyboard from the PC though, mmmm, Model F.)
slate edge
Because I can.
past linden
But you really can't
slate edge
Too bad that I play games for my own enjoyment
past linden
But it's not enjoyable without a challenge
slate edge
Maybe when I get enough money for a new gpu, and feel like going for another playthrough, I`ll do ultra nightmare
Since ultra nightmare on my framerates doesnt work
Mind you, anything else, i play on the hardest setting
unless it has respawning enemies
acoustic oriole
I like to play most games on the normal difficulty, then leave the next playthrough for the hardest difficulty. Unless I'm playing a stealth game
to each his own
slate edge
Some games are broken on the highest difficulties, like, completely messed up
atomic egret
I'm same @acoustic oriole
slate edge
Try playing mortal kombat trilogy on the hardest setting
atomic egret
I used to play everything on easy when I was shit at games but I like to think that I'm better now
acoustic oriole
sometimes its nice to just experience the game first casually, then once you're comfortable and familiar with the mechanics, take on the hardest difficulty
but as Jen3r1k said, some games do that bump in difficulty kinda bad
jade root
Mass Effect 2 on hard was the perfect difficulty
I don't think I've played a batter balanced experience than ME2 on hard
acoustic oriole
literally any COD game on the hardest difficulty was hell on earth
slate edge
There is a difference between making the player sweat and get good, and the player being unable to finish the game without exploits.
acoustic oriole
especially MW2 and those that came after it
jade root
Dark Souls and Monster Hunter make me sweat profusely
atomic egret
shadow warrior beserkers on insane make me want to tear my hair out
acoustic oriole
Shadow Warrior on Insane is just bullshit
jade root
Go do it*
atomic egret
because fwh aren't really the greatest at balancing
acoustic oriole
which makes every kill feel like "UGH FINALLY" than any sense of accomplishment
atomic egret
I think on normal it was pretty much perfect
but hard and above just got annoying
@strong tartan are you and geno actually talking in there?
acoustic oriole
doing an overkill buff to enemies' health for difficulty is a really bad idea in a shooter
strong tartan
YES
atomic egret
+too many super shotguns dusk edition when?
acoustic oriole
cause you're putting the game's gunplay at risk, and make it feel like crap
strong tartan
never
atomic egret
why not?
strong tartan
but doosk is sorta confirmed
atomic egret
zombie said he'd add sprite weapon support to dawn so you could make it
acoustic oriole
@atomic egret did you try out Shadow Warrior 2 yet?
atomic egret
don't have the dosh for it but I'll probably pick it up next steam sale
acoustic oriole
they accidentally sold it for 4$ on a Steam sale for a few minutes
I suppose you missed that?
atomic egret
def got my money's worth
yeah I'm assuming they meant to put 1 and not 2 on for that sale?
acoustic oriole
yeah
2 was supposed to have 25% off
but they accidentally applied 90%
which made it same price as SW13 on sale
acoustic oriole
getting a game really cheap can sometimes make you appreciate it more
atomic egret
could have had 4p coop for less than the price of 1 copy lol
acoustic oriole
instead of trying to justify the money you spent
atomic egret
some of my favourite games have been bought for really cheap
I got a boxed copy of gothic 2 gold edition at a garage sale like 7 years ago and it's still my favourite rpg
for $4
acoustic oriole
I kinda felt bad for getting Witcher 2 for 3$ once I started to enjoy it
acoustic oriole
LOL same for the Serious Sam bundle
atomic egret
(that was a fucking bargain if I've ever seen one)
dusty blaze
I ended up buying Witcher 2, 3 times, once on disk, once on steam, and again for a friend.
atomic egret
also is it just me or is serious sam 2 really weird?
dusty blaze
I think I bought like 10 copies of HLM
dusty blaze
Also FTL.
atomic egret
never played it
dusty blaze
I bought that for so many people.
acoustic oriole
there are a lot of types of strategy games
I like em, but then again, I can't enjoy most of them
I'm more into games like C&C and StarCraft (2 included)
dusty blaze
I also am not a fan, but it's more of an action RPG with roguelite elements
acoustic oriole
but I can't play them online
atomic egret
only strategy game i've ever kind of enjoyed was xcom
the reboot that came out a few years ago
and I got that for free
acoustic oriole
I really wanted to play it, but for some reason it kept crashing everytime I tried
shortly after getting to the menu
I like its soundtrack
atomic egret
that's a shame
dusty blaze
I really don't get the appeal of the xcom series.
But I don't like the grand tactics games, or turn based games like that... Outside of disgeia when that came out.
past linden
Damn, i missed talking about SW
atomic egret
you should have been here a week or 2 ago
acoustic oriole
TotalWar is one of those popular franchises that I just can't get into
atomic egret
we talked about it for literally about 5 hours
atomic egret
didn't even know lol
past linden
But that doesn't mean i don't wanna talk about SW more
acoustic oriole
we keep bringing SW up, either 13 or 2
atomic egret
only people I remember talking to about it was 47 and zombie
atomic egret
classic?
acoustic oriole
me and zombie kept bitching about how disappointed we were with SW2
past linden
Yea, the one called SW
acoustic oriole
rightfully so in my opinion (obviously)
atomic egret
never played classic classic, but I have classic redux
past linden
If i'm talking about the reboot i'll call it SW 13' and if i'm talking about 2 i'll say SW2
acoustic oriole
I only played Classic Redux, is there an actual difference?
acoustic oriole
(I finished it, and all expansions)
atomic egret
pretty sure it's like the duke megaton edition
past linden
IMO SW's the best game on the build engine
acoustic oriole
yeah, it's released by the same folks, isn't it?
atomic egret
it's just the original with the expansions and some new textures
I'd argue blood but yeah sw is good
past linden
And it's better then megaton, not by a lot, but by enough to make it noticable
acoustic oriole
and built-in 1080p and mouse support
past linden
Blood's amazing but SW's even better
atomic egret
do you think new lo wang or old lo wang was better
dusty blaze
Was SW that got the summer pack or was that duke?
past linden
Duke
atomic egret
duke
acoustic oriole
because I understood that BloodCM isn't exactly 100% like the original
past linden
New wang
atomic egret
there's not really any good full blood port yet
past linden
The only thing i like more about the new games
atomic egret
was the story?
acoustic oriole
GdxBlood seems to come along quite well
past linden
No, new wang was what i liked, the story was kinda awful but in a fun way
acoustic oriole
as in, the new wang wasn't such an oversaturated asian cliche?
past linden
Don't get me wrong, i loved them all, but if you're playing SW for the story there's a problem
Yea, but dick jokes
acoustic oriole
yeah
past linden
Only time i've ever laughed at a dick joke
acoustic oriole
I liked the story in SW13, but it's not what kept me playing honestly
atomic egret
the story was a nice add on that I didn't expect
acoustic oriole
it felt like a bonus
atomic egret
yeah
acoustic oriole
as it should be
past linden
Agreed
acoustic oriole
then in SW2 when that bonus was gone, some people were left not knowing what to feel about the gam
game*
atomic egret
like there was some actual time put into it and not just an excuse for cutscenes inbetween levels
past linden
I thought SW2 was pretty great
And the final boss music at the end 👌
Well done Stan
acoustic oriole
Stan Bush is one of the things that I love about the new SWs
atomic egret
keep hearing that the gunplay is great but the story is just all kinds of fucked
past linden
Again though, who cares about the story in a SW game?
acoustic oriole
you pick up a head off a body, and place it in front of a retinal scanner
atomic egret
I havent even played sw2 but the main theme is just oooh 👌 😍
past linden
acoustic oriole
in SW13, you'd see Wang actually putting that head infront of the scanner
in SW2 its just Borderlands-like CLICK OBJECTIVE COMPLETE gate opens
past linden
Yea, but that was a design choice
atomic egret
a poor one
acoustic oriole
I get that, but it kinda brought a very strong sense of inconsistency in the franchise
past linden
The're all great games though
acoustic oriole
it improved on so many things of SW13, and yet completely changed the nature of the gameplay
past linden
The same can't be said for every other classic FPS franchise
acoustic oriole
SW2 is not a bad game by any stretch. It's a good and even great game, but people who approach it as a sequel to SW13 might end up really disappointed
past linden
Doom had Doom 3, Quake had Quake 4, Duke had... I don't even wanna say it's name, and so forth
SW2 and SW13 were VERY different games
atomic egret
blood had blood 2
past linden
But they were both great
acoustic oriole
hell, I liked Doom 3, despite being all about horror and extremely slow gameplay
atomic egret
are the enemies still bullet sponges on higher difficulties in sw2?
past linden
Yea
acoustic oriole
I know it's bad as a Doom game, but it's still one of my favorite shooters
acoustic oriole
the enemies on higher difficulties can be either too easy to kill or too spongey
atomic egret
the only good thing about quake4 was the strogification scene
acoustic oriole
it's all stat-based and can be very strange, but know that I'm talking as someone who last played the game in early november
atomic egret
and that's not even a good quake thing
acoustic oriole
and I heard the game got updated since, so I have no idea what's in there
atomic egret
it's just good because it's cool on it's own
acoustic oriole
I only played Quake 4 once and I don't remember anything from it other than the scene mentioned above
that was like 10 years ago, though
atomic egret
I'm going to bed
acoustic oriole
good night
atomic egret
night

I'm a master in K&M martial art
You haven't even since my finger strength and muscles
exotic ibex

exotic ibex
👍🏻
willow flax
why does this keep happening when im not aroundddd
ill trade my mom for a key too !
lol
exotic ibex
stop having a life nerd
acoustic oriole
I got so lucky when I got my key
where I live, it's like 3-5am when dave usually posts a key (mostly)
then one time Dave pulled an all-nighter and I was off work
exotic ibex
just happened to look at the right time
acoustic oriole
the art of the master lurker
exotic ibex
@thorn trout your game is 10/10 and i've only palyed the demo level and endless. your game could easily dethrone serious sam as my favorite FPS. keep up the good work.
acoustic oriole
and to think it was vastly improved in further builds
exotic ibex
i need it
prisma halo
Sure Dusk is good and all but will it ever surpass the incredible writing and finesse you can find in Huniepop?
prisma halo
(it's 2 AM I apologise for my inevitable shitposting)
exotic ibex
not yet
prisma halo
those come from the player
jade root
It takes a special kinda person to sit in a room and moan into a mic
acoustic oriole
orgasm line per gib or 0/10
it's so obvious that I'm joking, but it's so cringeworthy I feel I should point it out
prisma halo
Dusk actually had orgasm lines for the meat lass, but the enemy was cut because playtesters found fighting the meat lass too arousing
prisma halo
you don't know what the meat lass is?
acoustic oriole
I suppose not
prisma halo
it's a cut enemy from Dusk that I've turned into an incredibly forced meme
you can find it in those really early builds
jade root
gave you massive erections
acoustic oriole
so you get bitch slapped
jade root
mhm
