and use ZOAP TO WIN EVERYTHING

thorn trout
#

so far all enemies can be left alive, for pacifist runs

crimson folio
#

Oh shoot

#

Yeeee

thorn trout
#

including bosses

crimson folio
#

๐Ÿ’ฏ

#

Good stuff

opal adder
#

That being said, I plan on doing the opposite. NO KKK WIZARDS LEFT ALIVE

thorn trout
#

there's a "completionist" award too, for getting all secrets and kills in a level

#

and TECHNICALLY I believe it's possible to get both. Pacifist and completionist. Because enemies killing each other or getting killed by the environment / traps doesn't count against a pacifist run

crimson folio
#

Oh shoot

mild ginkgo
#

Traps confirmed

thorn trout
#

yup! In ep2 and probably beyond, there are some traps. Like Half-life squisher things and RoTT whirling blades and stuff

crimson folio
#

tomorrow if i find a key for dusk. im not gonna trust it/

#

its april 1st tomorrow.

austere dawn
#

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

crimson folio
#

the worst day of the year

#

Saturday is the first

#

for me tomorrow is Saturday

#

because i live in the pacific

red abyss
#

Oh, Internet Uselessness Day? Yeah, it's a bummer.

thorn trout
#

stay tuned for Dusk ftp announcement tomorrow

austere dawn
#

What is "Dusk ftp"?

worthy vector
#

My thought too...

crystal vessel
#

Free to play

austere dawn
#

OOOOH

crimson folio
#

"Free to Play" kek

crystal vessel
#

You can purchase weapon skins and new flip animations

#

Also player trails

#

And the bonus episode is also available for purchase

austere dawn
#

No thanks...

worthy vector
#

XD

crystal vessel
#

Live a little now come on

#

2017 is the year F2P games turn around

austere dawn
#

You mean "Pay to Win".

#

Is that an April 1 joke?

verbal sand
#

no

#

its april first saturday

austere dawn
#

Yea I know.

radiant venture
#

wouldn't the real april's fools joke be that dave drops a real key while people expect a fake key?

crimson folio
#

Wouldn't fake eyes get you banned?

radiant venture
#

from what?

crimson folio
#

I meant to say fake keys

radiant venture
#

from where would you get banned?

#

steam?

crimson folio
#

The discord

radiant venture
#

should Dave get banned from his own discord?

crimson folio
#

Nevermind

radiant venture
#

or a key to another game

#

Pixel Puzzles 2: Birds

twilit olive
#

what if dave got banned from duskcord

vague egret
#

dave is server god

#

cant ban a god

austere dawn
#

Unless you become a god your self.

vague egret
#

i dont think dave is crazy enough to give me server ownership

austere dawn
#

Just a joke.

slate edge
#

Dusk is a good game

obtuse apex
#

or

mild ginkgo
#

Neh

obtuse apex
#

Is it

austere dawn
#

Who knows...

thorn trout
radiant venture
#

dope

#

oh btw

#

will there be a complete time at the end of the game?

thorn trout
#

I hadn't thought of that, but there should be huh?

radiant venture
#

will make things easier for the single segmentists :p

thorn trout
#

I'll put it on the list

radiant venture
#

or maybe have a total time that adds on each level

#

like QDQStats for Quake does

thorn trout
#

probably that

jade root
#

oh a level time tally would be nice too

radiant venture
#

there's a level timer already

#

but a timer that kinda adds the level times together to get a final time

jade root
#

thats what i mean

#

so if it takes 5 minutes each to beat 2 levels itll tell you 10 minutes on the second level endscreen

radiant venture
#

exactly

thorn trout
#

oh there's also a little hidden feature where you can press a "record time" button in-level and it will save up to 4 (5? I forget) times in a list

radiant venture
#

or maybe a "total time 10:00.00" or something

thorn trout
#

like a stopwatch

radiant venture
#

I believe QDQStats does Recorded Time: 00:00.0000000 or something

#

ridiculously precise timing

thorn trout
#

holy crap

#

that seems unneccesary

radiant venture
#

it is imo

#

00:00.00 is good enough even for ILs

#

maybe 00:00.000

#

really precise timing is only useful for really short ILs, where the room for error gets smaller

thorn trout
#

what's an IL?

radiant venture
#

individual level speedrun

#

like the pre-pre-pre-alpha of Dusk

#

that's technically an IL

thorn trout
#

ahh gotcha

crimson folio
#

Quick question about Blood, apparently 3D realms was working on it at one point then handed it over to Monolith to finish?

#

Which would make sense cause 3D realms licensed the build engine

thorn trout
#

yup

crimson folio
#

At the same time maybe Blood's rights wouldn't be in legal limbo and we would've had an enhanced port by now

thorn trout
#

technically a 3dr game since it was almost finished when Monolith got it afaik

crimson folio
#

The dusk intermission screen looks noice

#

But then again somebody could've done what Gearbox did to duke

#

But still, if 3D realms had retained the rights there would've been some hope for a source port

#

Not sure if its a blessing or a curse really

#

Similar to how System Shock was owned by an Insurance company, which allowed night dive to scoop it up

thorn trout
#

I'd rather have a (second) bad Blood game and the source than only one bad Blood game and no source

crimson folio
#

True. But was Blood 2 that bad?

thorn trout
#

it was very rough. I'm a huge fan of janky games but it was a little too much even for me. Not a lot going on to justify the jank

#

worst game Monolith's made imo

crimson folio
#

Damn. What a shame. Qataris squandered and is currently squatting on the rights.

#

Didn't even touch up the game at all, "Here's a game that ran on computers made in 97, not intended for modern machines. Not even gonna fix it up."

thorn trout
#

GOG version works ok

crimson folio
#

It still runs through a dos box wrapper, there's just something so off about it

thorn trout
#

Blood 2? It shouldn't

crimson folio
#

All the remasters have spoiled me I'm afraid

thorn trout
#

Blood 1 does

#

Blood 2 = different engine

crimson folio
#

I was talking the OG version

jade root
#

mm blood 2

crimson folio
#

Should've specified lol

jade root
#

i still have dreams about that game

#

i dont think i ever enjoyed a game less

crimson folio
#

Ugh I wish I could play OG blood without a hitch

thorn trout
#

and once again... Jab is a janky game fan like me. So that says a lot :P

crimson folio
#

System Shock 1 was fun once I got the hang of it. THAT felt janky

#

It really is a product of its time

thorn trout
#

SS1 is a fantastic game, wrapped in a really quirky interface

#

System Shock Enhanced does a lot to make it more playable

crimson folio
#

Which is what I wish could be done for blood. Have the controls rebound to the current norm, touch up the visuals and engine, resolution and all that

thorn trout
#

you can actually rebind the controls via the config file. Mouse is a little more of a problem. BMouse helps. Resolutions can't be helped afaik

crimson folio
#

People made games for people who played games, did interviews and IRC chats with fansites, all kinds of stuff.

#

Dusk is just like that in a sense

#

You're making a game calling back to the days when games were made for people who played games and reached out to their fans and listened to them

thorn trout
#

yup!

crimson folio
#

So you even have the 90's usenet/IRC chat with fans thing down too

#

I can't believe I just now realized this lol

thorn trout
#

๐Ÿ‘

crimson folio
#

I watched a documentary on Y2K that showed websites dedicated to Y2K supplies and other stuff and all the webpages looked...different obviously but there's some scope to it i can't describe

#

There is a video that shows a normal Joe browsing the web in 97, I wish more people had done that

#

It was actual screen capture too, and not a video of the screen which amazed me

#

There's so much that the wayback machine misses though, so it seems as though so much individuality has been lost

thorn trout
#

yeah

crimson folio
#

All the highschool kids and their geocities sites where they talked about their daily lives and such. But oh boy lets see what Kraft macaroni's website looked like in 99

#

It's so much of a damn crying shame to know that it's all been lost.

#

Stuff like Micheal Jackson and Queen made great music that will live on forever, while some highschool senior in Georgia in year of 95 could've written and recorded the most beautiful love song on a cassette tape and we'd never know

#

Ugh I'm ranting and getting all exisistential lol

thorn trout
#

don't let the existential dread set in!

opal adder
#

Or just accept it as a part of life. It's not so dreadful when you get used to it.

worthy vector
#

'99... I was only 4... now I feel old again...

crystal vessel
#

Heh I was 3

crimson folio
#

I was barely a thought in my parents minds lol

worthy vector
#

Ah so you know what I mean Amealok...

crystal vessel
#

I do have moments where i feel old which seems ridiculous since I'm still very young.

worthy vector
#

XD yep, I feel like it is only going to happen more often this year.

red abyss
#

Dude, I love going back and looking at old "Y2K preparedness" materials.

crimson folio

Same mate

#

I almost sold my SNES to a Buybacks a few months ago. Kids behind the counter looked at it like they were in the shrine of the silver monkey. Had to show them that the power switch was a sliding switch, and not a button that was stuck.

crimson folio
#

All the hysteria cause dumb old people

#

"Silver monkey" I miss Nick GAS

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

atomic egret
#

moo

thorn trout
#

The weapon model size slider is officially the best feature in Dusk

#

and yes, muzzle flash and shell casings remain normal sized :D

exotic ibex
#

.gif of you blasting a motherfucker with it that small?

thorn trout
#

gimme a sec

exotic ibex
#

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

mild ginkgo
#

This was a mistake

thorn trout
#

I should post it on twitter

#

although everyone will think it's april fools

exotic ibex
#

it looks like a double barreled toothpick

thorn trout
#

yeah

mild ginkgo
#

Footage of crossbow at that size

#

I bet people will finally see how that reloads

#

;)

thorn trout
#

hee hee yeah

mild ginkgo
#

I respect the cleverness

thorn trout
#

I mean, it's not that far off from how Quake did stuff

mild ginkgo
#

Oh totally

#

It just looks funny when you get the third person perspective

thorn trout
#

When I discovered the muzzle flash just hides in the weapon models I was like ex dee

mild ginkgo
#

^^^

slate edge
#

lel

thorn trout
#

also the rotwiler uv mapping is hilarious

mild ginkgo
#

Not as hilarious as meat lass uv mapping

thorn trout
#

this is true

#

I should get an award for that

#

for worst gamedev

#

I would cherish it

mild ginkgo
#

Nah it's the perfect kind of jank

#

In fairness your new uv maps are much more excellent

thorn trout
#

I looked at the Quake model files to see how they did them, for maximum authenticity.

#

Workflow seemed to be a lot different than I expected. I think they did front/back textures first, then modeled/mapped based of them

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah I noticed that you emulated that real closely

#

Which is great

#

It'll have that authentic texture warping

thorn trout
#

yup that's the idea

#

there are still some models I just couldn't get right as a texture first (like Black Phillip)

#

but most of them I'm trying to do that workflow with

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah esp that one enemy I won't mention, love how texture first it is

#

I think it's super cool you took up the old school workflow

thorn trout
#

which one is that?

#

pm me I guess?

exotic ibex
#

jeeeeesus david

thorn trout
#

hahahaha

exotic ibex
#

it also looks like you're one handing the ssg.

autumn compass
#

but y tho?

thorn trout
#

if you have to ask why you'll never understand

autumn compass
#

your right

#

i wont

hexed roost
#

viewmodel adjustments are ๐Ÿ‘Œ

exotic ibex
#

time to turn em off. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

thorn trout
#

yup, you can take the size down to 0 to turn them off

crimson folio
#

Can I turn off Hank?

mild ginkgo
#

Mute him

#

I did

crimson folio
#

Lmao

exotic ibex
#

B O O T H A N K

crimson folio
#

Oh about B O O T

coral basin
#

send TB a copy of DUSK and magically make it cap at 30fps

#

and if he lifts it higher the game breaks

crimson folio
#

lol

thorn trout
#

afaik he hasn't really be interested thus far. He's got a ton of games coming his way all the time though.

exotic ibex
#

im sure as you get closer to releasing he will show interest

#

i can easily see him being interested in dusk since SW2 was such a disappointement to him

mild ginkgo
#

The episode 1 build will draw tons ofn
attention

#

It's basically a shareware demo

exotic ibex
#

TB doesnt do early release content unless sponsored

mild ginkgo
#

Which is great nostalgia

#

I played quakes shareware so much

thorn trout
#

I listen to the cooptional podcast regularly and every time he starts talking about what he misses from old FPS I'm like "TB. THAT IS LITERALLY DUSK. AAAAAAAAAAA"

mild ginkgo
#

\aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

exotic ibex
#

yeah, thats usually what i've been thinking of late

#

im two episodes behind at the moment but im on the same page

thorn trout
#

he super loved new Doom though and Dusk isn't really new Doom so shrug

exotic ibex
#

from what i can tell with SP FPS games

mild ginkgo
#

He also loved brutal doom

exotic ibex
#

if he goes into his 'shooter trance' its a pretty good game.

thorn trout
#

yeah

mild ginkgo
#

Dusk is shooter trance the game

#

You of all people know that

exotic ibex
#

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

#

i need a skeleton thumbs up

#

god damnit

mild ginkgo
#

Get nitro

#

Make it

thorn trout
#

is the single player really that though? I can't tell because I'm the dev.

exotic ibex
#

i need moni ;_;

mild ginkgo
#

Yes.

exotic ibex
#

i got really into it

thorn trout
#

it's not as intense as something like new Doom or Serious Sam

exotic ibex
#

i wouldnt have gotten near 1k if i didnt

#

its a different flavor

mild ginkgo
#

The movement makes me go into trance mode

exotic ibex
#

let me throw it out like this, maybe you might understand a bit better

mild ginkgo
#

I can tell because every time I close dusk I realize my jaw hurts

exotic ibex
#

its kind of what you felt when palying quake back in the day

crimson folio
#

The new Doom has a pretty bad difficulty curve

exotic ibex
#

i assume

mild ginkgo
#

I clench my teeth whenever I go into trance mode

thorn trout
#

yeah that's the goal. Like Quake and Doom

exotic ibex
#

yeah

#

you're hitting the nail on the head

mild ginkgo
#

And dusk always makes my jaw hurt

thorn trout
#

I just wasn't sure if the need to explore environments killed that for some people.

#

@mild ginkgo glad to hear, I guess?? :D

mild ginkgo
#

It's a good thing

thorn trout
#

because for me the exploration and combat are all part of getting into the zone, but I'm not sure if other people require constant combat

#

like, the demo level is pretty much what the game is like

mild ginkgo
#

Nah you have the atmosphere nailed

exotic ibex
#

the more combat for me the better but i can certainly appreciate what you're doing

#

i didnt quite know i wanted a hand built level like what you're doing until i got my key

mild ginkgo
#

Playing E1 ,the first house gave the perfect tension between exploration and combat

thorn trout
#

that's all good to hear. I'm just continuing to make the sort of game I want to play. I just don't want anyone to end up dsiappointed.

#

also still planning on bufgfing up endless mode at some point

#

*buffing

mild ginkgo
#

I was playing carefully, exploring everything, conserving ammo, looking for secrets

crimson folio
#

You can't please everyone Dave, just do what you want

mild ginkgo
#

And it felt great

exotic ibex
#

the only thing you can really do is build the game you want to play and i've noticed those are the games that tend to have the highest quality to it.

thorn trout
#

yeah that's true, usually even if it's not what I'd personally want, I prefer games where the devs have just made what they wanted to play rather than trying to figure out what other people want.

mild ginkgo
#

Look at gibhard

#

That game looks sick because he loves it

thorn trout
#

yeah

#

it IS sick

exotic ibex
#

it looks so fucking good

crimson folio
#

Whatever happened to that? Is it still happening?

mild ginkgo
#

Yes

exotic ibex
#

isnt it almost done if not done?

thorn trout
#

Gibhard is a perfect example of elegant simplicity

mild ginkgo
#

It'll be out in a few months

thorn trout
#

It's almost done

exotic ibex
#

im feeling the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

crimson folio
#

Well I haven't heard from them since Nov 2016

thorn trout
#

I think it's content complete atm

mild ginkgo
#

You can tune into his stream to see where it's at

#

The boss fights are being retuned

#

And ui reworked

thorn trout
#

@crimson folio it's definitely still alive. I'm in a closed beta for it

exotic ibex
#

i only just recently started following him because of dave and david retweeting his stuff

mild ginkgo
#

Also he just added an extra lives system

crimson folio
#

Sweet, now all that's left is that Bombshell Build game

thorn trout
#

it's, like, the most beautiful retro-style game ever made. Visuals are so freaking good.

#

his mastery of shaders is incredible

mild ginkgo
#

He did wonders with lighting sprites

exotic ibex
#

is he using unity?

mild ginkgo
#

Yes

#

That's all unity

thorn trout
#

yeah I was just going to say, the lighting on the sprites is jaw dropping

exotic ibex
#

the fact that hes using sprites in unity is fucking magical

mild ginkgo
#

He's having to fight with it for his ui hard though

thorn trout
#

Before I found out about Gibhard I was like "ehh maybe at some point I'll try doing a sprite-based FPS" but now I don't think I could possibly compete with that

#

oh yeah, UI stuff is ANNOYING

crimson folio
#

It looks pre rendered sorta

mild ginkgo
#

It needs rebalancing

#

That physics gun is fucking op

#

You just get the big stone sphere

#

And win

thorn trout
#

really? I think it's risky enough that it's balanced. Really easy to take damage using it

#

or block your path if you don't shoot properly

mild ginkgo
#

I haven't played, I just watched him play, and he just destroys with it

#

Barely even used his weapons

thorn trout
#

hmm. Well I also suck at the game so :P

mild ginkgo
#

Ofches the dev

#

Sooooo he has an advantage

thorn trout
#

yeah

#

arg I just took one look at my control binding script and remembered why I don't want to deal with moving bindings over to the cfg file right now :P

crimson folio
#

Do you bind weapons past 5 to something different?

#

I can never go past 5 in FPS games and usually bind weapons to Z, X, C and V

coral basin
#

1-0 if I can help it

thorn trout
#

it goes from 1 to 9 but you can rebind everything. Right now it just saves those bindings in playerprefs instead of the .ini file because you can't directly write keycodes to a .ini file

coral basin
#

my fingers know where to press

#

mouse wheel is a thing too

#

for most games

thorn trout
#

yeah

jade root
#

Actually in Dusk you have to use "z" through "." Keys

#

Part of Davids artistic vision

thorn trout
#

yup

coral basin
#

I would use page up and page down if I had to

cursive sundial
#

@thorn trout how many waves do you survive on survival? provided your build is similar enough to the alpha one

thorn trout
#

oh, it's WAAAY different now. I can't even remember :)

exotic ibex
#

oh right, have you added a tracker to state the wave you got to on the death screen?

#

cause i forgot what wave i got to on mine.

cursive sundial
#

I see. I have to hand it to you, even the alpha build feels so well thought ought. the way different weapons are better for different enemies, it really feels so damn good

#

dusk is gonna be everything I wanted and more it seems ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

thorn trout
#

thanks!

#

@exotic ibex I haven't actually. Probably should. I mean the idea is to go for a score not a wave count, but I'm sure some people would like to know what wave they got to anyway

cursive sundial
#

it does say how many waves you survived on the death screen afaik

exotic ibex
#

yeah. maybe have the score up above the rest. like score > kills = time > wave count. > being put below

#

no it doesnt

#

in the build we can play its kills = time > score

cursive sundial
#

was there an ETA for the update btw?

exotic ibex
#

roughly a month i believe

#

and thats on the far end.

cursive sundial
#

I see

thorn trout
#

might be sooner than that. We're working on polishing it up now

exotic ibex
#

ill be ready with any criticism for the endless changes

cursive sundial
#

alright, time to board the hype train

#

its one of those few times a dev says somethings gonna come sooner than the ETA

#

thats when you know its almost done

thorn trout
#

well, Dave still has to give me final crits, so that will determine a lot :)

cursive sundial
#

ya know, you can always gimme that build a bit sooner. I'll make sure it's polished real good ^^

mild ginkgo
#

Lol

thorn trout
#

haha

slate edge
#

@thorn trout What if Dave asks you to buy him grocceries?

thorn trout
#

I'll be like "lol Dave test Dusk first"

austere dawn
#

I'm sooo, happy that I don't have to lurk anymore...

austere egret
#

You could've stoped lurking anytime you wanted

austere dawn
#

True, but I got a key the other night.

austere egret
#

How do you like dusk, btw?

austere dawn
#

It's fun, one other thing, in one video I saw of it had a bunch more options, is that a new build coming out?

austere egret
#

I think so

#

Not sure when thats coming

austere dawn
#

I'm guess, soon.

#

Clown vomit color is best color.

austere egret
#

Clown blood is better Leatherneck

languid umbra
#

damn :( did i missed my chance for a key ....

austere dawn
#

You missed three the other day.

languid umbra
#

shit ..... -_-

#

anyway i'm glad to be on the chan now ... every new dusk info is worth it

#

will there be new chances soon?

austere egret
#

Plenty, just be patient and don't pester the devs or mods about it (AKA Key begging), you'll get a chance.

vague egret
#

๐Ÿ‘

crimson folio
red abyss
#

I'm telling you, dude; to find a key, you must look within.

frozen heart
#

Or just get your key two days after joining like me ๐Ÿ˜Ž

red abyss
#

Yeah, you could be a gloaty dick, like Keaton.

crimson folio
#

Or be like me and have a near heart attack

#

@crimson folio Yeh sure i'll do that!

atomic egret
#

hey david, are the dusk levels gonna have a par time now that you've added that completionist badge system for if you get 100%? @thorn trout

crimson folio
#

I was celebrating a friend's birtbday when the keys dropped yesterday

fossil slate
#

I,m never on when the keys drop. I do a lot of lurking though!

thorn trout
#

@atomic egret I was thinking no since people are going to destroy par time before release anyway :P

#

but maybe

fossil slate
#

How about frogs? Will Dusk have frogs?

atomic egret
#

I was thinking that you could make it if you get a certain % over par time you get a speedrunner badge and if just barely beat it you could get a par badge or something like that @thorn trout

crimson folio
#

@thorn trout There should be a hammer and sickle cheat code where it replaces one of the two sickles with a hammer and when you use them the soviet anthem plays in the background.

thorn trout
#

oh lol my message got deleted

#

hahahaha

atomic egret
#

lol what

#

how does that even happen

serene needle
#

but,but, why tho?

atomic egret
#

I didn't think the bot could eat messages higher than it's own

thorn trout
#

apparently so

#

yeah par time award might be a good idea

austere dawn
#

@thorn trout when will the PAX build be downloadable?

hexed roost
#

it's live right now

#

went live a few hours ago

austere dawn
#

2017 one...

hexed roost
#

yeah

#

#

austere dawn
#

atomic egret
#

austere egret
#

Bambozzeled

austere dawn
#

When is it really?

hexed roost
#

when it's ready

#

there's no set date

atomic egret
#

speaking of which @thorn trout where's dave so I can call him a liar?

hexed roost
#

i'd say probably within the next month at max

thorn trout
#

Ep1 will be available at some point soon.

crimson folio
#

Unmutual, I noticed something started downloading on steam and then I read your posts. A very hearty fuck you to @hexed roost

You deserve to have your anus reamed by the horns of a black Phillip

atomic egret
#

DAVE GET IN HERE SO I CAN CALL YOU A LIAR

#

SOMEONE PERFORM THE DAVE SUMMONING RITUAL

thorn trout
#

don't worry guys, it won't be too long. We're literally polishing at this point

serene needle
#

off topic I really enjoyed Bioshock Infinite.

atomic egret
#

that game is great

crimson folio
#

Ah so the story gets explained in EP2 with the military facility

atomic egret
#

but

austere egret
#

Bioshock infinte was good, not as great as it could've been, but good

serene needle
#

mk

#

Is ther gonna be any story/ Spoilers in ep1?

atomic egret
#

well its not spoilers if you're the one playing it

crimson folio
#

Exactly, but we won't have the full picture till the final release

gleaming berry
atomic egret
#

nice spelling dave

crimson folio
#

AHHH

#

Hally shiet

#

Nice

#

STOP THE HYPE

#

Reminds me of Duke3D's levels in a sense

#

Yeah

gleaming berry
#

dont know what game this is

mild ginkgo
#

dave with his fucking 21:9

atomic egret
#

playing dusk and not moving at light speed

#

what are you dave some kind of babbo

jade root
#

huh

#

i never realized that the level design makes sense

mild ginkgo
#

what a revelation jab

jade root
#

like, in quake or doom, you would wander a big field of non-ecludian shapes

mild ginkgo
#

mostly doom

#

quake was better about it

jade root
#

quake still had it at some points

#

but, yeah mostly doom

thorn trout
#

Dusk is going to get more abstract

#

ep1 is in realistic locations for the mostpart

#

ep2 starts going more abstract in some areas

#

ep3 goes full insane

jade root
#

doom 2 downtown abstract?

thorn trout
#

more like ep4 Quake, but I'm planning more use of scale and verticality and stuff

crimson folio
#

Quick question, do you guys have a list of those lines that appear on screen? There were some in the PAX video too

#

I wanna voice them and see how they'd sound

#

Give duskguy a voice I guess?

#

He's gotta have a southern accent

acoustic oriole
#

I hope Duskdude will be voiceless

#

it kinda feels right for Dusk

crimson folio
#

Ugh I mean it does but it'd be fun at least

atomic egret
#

doesnt he already have a voice though

crimson folio
#

it would be cool if he had a voice.

atomic egret
#

like right at the end of the demo level

crimson folio
#

Nah there's a ghost voice type thing

acoustic oriole
#

"hmph!" doesn't count

crimson folio
#

Same voice that speaks at the start

#

Speakin of I wanna see how that would sound too

#

Give me some lines to say and I'll give it a go tomorrow

#

Something duskguy would say

atomic egret
#

"a"

#

"hmph!"

crimson folio
#

duskdude should have a voice similar to caleb

atomic egret
#

"huh!"

crimson folio
#

Exactly what I was thinking, some kind of southern accent as well

#

yeh

#

like a caleb with a southern accent

acoustic oriole
#

I can almost imagine him as Ray from Call of Juarez, just being all edgy

crimson folio
#

I kinda didn't like how all the Build engine characters all had the same kind of attitude

acoustic oriole
#

but yeah, Caleb sounds accurate

crimson folio
#

They were all one liners and edgy references

#

But someone give me a line to say and I'll see what I can do with it

#

there could be a slight bit of postal dude but then it would be even more edgy

atomic egret
#

"hhmph!"

crimson folio
#

You're not funny

acoustic oriole
#

interacts with walls "mmm!"

crimson folio
#

XDDD I get it

#

xd

atomic egret
#

ecks dee

crimson folio
#

Duskguy I imagine would probably be very down to business, with one goal in mind after escaping getting carved on the meathook

#

that sounds accurate

#

Not really a one line cracking dark humor type guy

#

We've had 3 of those

atomic egret
#

WHO WANT A SOME WANG

crimson folio
#

I steek a fiyacraka up a yo' ass

#

BUT SERIOUSLY, what's something Duskguy would say?

#

Sonofabitch must pay!

#

I'll try that as a reference I guess

#

Any others

acoustic oriole
#

"i'm your huckleberry"

#

not really

crimson folio
#

Yeahnolol

#

"How would you like a facefulla 12 guage!"

#

"Double the shot. Double the pain!"

acoustic oriole
#

he should tell dick jokes

#

that did wonders for SW2

#

/s

crimson folio
#

"Lick my boomstick"

#

Oh boy what'd I say about dark humor one liner types. I'll give it a try but I don't think it'd fit given what we've seen so far

#

Hmmm

#

"Now its just down to you and me you one eye freak!" ... wait. wrong guy

#

"About time we get some divine intervention in these lands of damnation." Stuff like that

crystal vessel
#

It's a callback to the shooters in the 90s

#

The one liner shit is fitting

#

Hell there's even a "Groovy" in the game

crimson folio
#

I'll still try some of it

#

Yeah you're right

acoustic oriole
#

the more I think about lines, the more I think he shouldn't have a voice

crimson folio
#

"How did ya like that?"

gleaming berry
#

DuskDude will probably be voiceless

#

but MODS

#

SO

#

GO NUTS

jade root
#

THANK YOU DAVE

#

VOICELESS PROTAG

#

GODBLESS

crimson folio
#

Dang nabbit dammit

#

I'll record a few lines and put em on vocaroo for fun

#

Cause why not

gleaming berry
#

someone pay Jon St. John $40 to voice DuskDude

#

for a mod

crystal vessel
#

Make a new trailer with a "Let's go, pal." at the end

#

He's saying it to his shotguns

crimson folio
#

Prolly do a few of the Omni-voice as well

#

I'll get around to it sometime tomorrow, when I can make noise without being questioned lol

jade root
#

people are still freaking out over what duskdude looks like, but does it really matter?

crimson folio
#

Well no, but it's still nice to put a face to our guy

jade root
#

eh

crimson folio
#

"man it would be alot better if i had a hammer also" when he kills something with his dual sickles

graceful wing
#

inb4 dusk dude has no model

acoustic oriole
#

unless the playermodel in multiplayer will be a bunch of different skins, I suppose it should matter

jade root
#

david has talked about using enemy modles for mp

crimson folio
#

@graceful wing there might be soon.

jade root
#

as it stands the player model is a pill

acoustic oriole
#

I wouldn't mind not knowing what he looks or sounds like

jade root
#

at least for mp

acoustic oriole
#

plenty of great games didn't show you your character

jade root
#

^^

crimson folio
#

there could be badly made cutscenes like in blood

jade root
#

i think duskdude should be faceless and voiceless

crystal vessel
#

Duskdude isn't even a body he's just weapons floating around

jade root
#

mhm

crystal vessel
#

Hence no hands

jade root
#

hes a joy emoji with floating guns actually

crimson folio
#

Given from what we've seen so far it'll just be both because they're already this far along

acoustic oriole
#

I think so too, because it feels right for the game. What I've seen of the game so far, that is. It looks all dark and ambiguous, which is how I would describe Duskdude so far as well

jade root
#

i just wanna leave it faceless to drive all those steam forum dudes crazy

graceful wing
#

๐Ÿ”ซ ๐Ÿ˜‚ gun2

#

dusk dude

jade root
#

avain get out

acoustic oriole
#

lol

graceful wing
#

you started it

gleaming berry
#

right now MP has enemy models

jade root
#

.ban @graceful wing

graceful wing
#

YOU GET OUT

jade root
#

fuck

gleaming berry
#

so like GOATS VS SCARECROWS

#

goats with rocket launchers

#

GOTY

jade root
#

i thought it was still pills?

crimson folio
#

Oh shit the hitboxes tho

#

ACTUALLY

acoustic oriole
#

that actually sounds badass, it should be considered to stay that way lol

crimson folio
#

dusk dude vs The Clan of Savaroth

#

If there was a character system like Turok 2's mp that'd be cool

jade root
#

bleh

#

extra fat that it doesnt really need

acoustic oriole
#

the real question is...

jade root
#

everyone having the same movement seems most balanced

crimson folio
#

Scarecrow would have tighter spread with shotguns, + faster fire rate with shotguns. ONCE AGAIN THIS WOULD BE OPTIONAL

acoustic oriole
#

will you be able to use the meat lass model

jade root
#

meatlass is kill

crystal vessel
#

Mod in meatlass

jade root
#

but zombie bringing her back

crystal vessel
#

Bless Zombo

god bless zombinionioshus

dusk demo when

when the game comes out

usually when demos are released

#

lol

crimson folio

dus but

gr sdfyjb soms

#

Dusk build

#

wen

#

no

#

*now

there

austere dawn
#

What?

crimson folio
#

i want dusk

serene needle
#

!keyfaq

hollow ivyBOT
#

"I want a key to (insert game here). How can I get one?"
Keys are currently being posted at random intervals (usually about once a day) with whoever being able to redeem the key the fastest getting access. This is the only way to currently get access to the pre alphas and other free stuff. Key beggers will be ignored so dont bother asking.

crimson folio
#

i know that.\

#

i always miss them

serene needle
#

just you wait

#

happened to me too

acoustic oriole
#

don't worry

#

consistency will be rewarded

crimson folio
#

yes i took the time to make a crappy MsPaint thing explaining why its hard for me to get a key.

#

but its the weekend so i could stay up all night and wait for a key to drop

atomic egret
#

I live in australia and I still got a key

opal adder
#

The gods punished you with a cyclone, though

atomic egret
#

zombinionioshus has a key too

crimson folio
#

well thats because there still is a time differance between nz and aus

atomic egret
#

I was barely effected by the cyclone

acoustic oriole
#

I live in Asia and managed to get a key :P you can do it

atomic egret
#

in fact it did more good than bad for me

opal adder
#

Oh, right on. That's cool

graceful wing
#

dave usually drops keys during US prime time but me and lain also have some so there's definitely a chance for a drop to happen just about whenever

atomic egret
#

i got mine at like 8:00pm

graceful wing
#

so basically just lurk real damn hard and you'll get a key eventually :p

atomic egret
#

but I was lucky cause it got dropped in qa and hank spammed me about it

acoustic oriole
#

I got mine at like 16:00, but I think Dave was pulling an all-nighter lol, so I got lucky

#

cause keys normally drop at 4-8am my time

crimson folio
#

what part of the discord do the keys drop?

acoustic oriole
#

they can drop anywhere, but mainly the dusk channel

graceful wing
#

ye

crimson folio
#

also i cant really stay up at 8am or 4am around that time i just faint.

graceful wing
#

or in some cases on twitter etc

crimson folio
#

i dont use twitter.. :/

graceful wing
#

good :p

acoustic oriole
#

Discord is a better bet to get a key

atomic egret
#

like I said I got mine in #240196737397030922 back when everyone got confused because it was called qa

hexed roost
#

i've seen dave post keys at 3-4am CST

#

everyone has a chance to get one

acoustic oriole
#

basically if you see Dave online, be on guard :P

#

he's sneaky

gleaming berry
autumn compass
#

gud

#

you deserve it

opal adder
#

but do you feel fine?

acoustic oriole
#

those trees are masterful

crimson folio
#

WTF ๐Ÿ† ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ˜ซ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

atomic egret
#

i've just realized that the wtf emote is an amalgamation of doom guy leatherneck and robbie rotten

austere dawn
#

Pls no...

crimson folio
#

yes

#

is good

acoustic oriole
#

is the zoom-in function still available in the new build? asking since I noticed you detonate grenades with RMB in the previews @thorn trout

atomic egret
#

good question

#

maybe it's bound to a different button

acoustic oriole
#

I hope so

#

or maybe you just can't zoom with the grenade launcher

atomic egret
#

maybe

crimson folio
#

no key i see

#

Dave's living in the US, right?

#

i think

atomic egret
#

ye

#

all of the dev team are

crimson folio
#

thats bad for me.

atomic egret
#

dave does giveaways on twitter

crimson folio
#

i dont use twitter

atomic egret
#

good time to start then

crimson folio
#

nah

atomic egret
#

dont complain then

thorn trout
#

zoom is still on all weapons except for the mortar

narrow mica
#

wait a second

#

march is over

#

wheres the new build

exotic ibex
#

when its done ya git

narrow mica
#

hey hank

#

shut up

jade root
#

We are gonna get an update today and it's just gonna replace all the textures with Daves face and their will be text saying Japeril Fools

mild ginkgo
#

Zombie could make that happen

prisma halo
#

but that would imply it isn't 3 AM and I'm not a lazy twat

#

I'm still recovering from the emotional damage NieR:Automata left me with

jade root
#

go watch something light hearted

#

like Marley & Me

prisma halo
#

kek

jade root
#

kek

austere egret
#

Marley and me is a gut punch film

jade root
#

i love the ending

#

it just comes out of nowhere

#

and then ends

#

gg no re

#

reminds me of Mankind Divided actually

acoustic oriole
#

@# I'm still recovering from that game as well X_X

prisma halo
#

it left wounds

#

big wounds

#

did you get ending E?

acoustic oriole
#

yep

prisma halo
#

bless that ending

acoustic oriole
#

amen
I started C last week, and I'm still broken

prisma halo
#

I didn't have a lot of time to play it but I sat down yesterday and the day before and binge-played it

#

I was halfway through route A at that time

#

it was a lot to take in, for such a short amount of time

acoustic oriole
#

I didn't imagine I would enjoy it this way when I bought it

#

probably one of my favorite games ever in that regard

prisma halo
#

me neither

#

DOOM 4 was my 2016 GOTY
NieR:Automata is my 2017 GOTY

#

I thought Tales of Berseria was great but then I played Automata

acoustic oriole
#

me too on both games

#

Witcher 3 was my 2015 GOTY

prisma halo
#

never played a witcher game (yet)

austere egret
#

F

prisma halo
#

now that I have a high-end PC, I'm gonna go for it eventually

acoustic oriole
#

the first two might put you off at first, but they're very enjoyable as well, especially the second

prisma halo
#

(also tfw only like, 11% of players have the true end achievement for NieR:Automata)

#

makes my blood boil

acoustic oriole
#

finishing that game once is simply doing the game injustice

#

to me it only got better from playthrough to playthrough

prisma halo
#

yep

acoustic oriole
#

a lot of people didn't like Route B, but I actually liked it a lot

prisma halo
#

Route B was good

#

interesting to get all that extra info and context

#

and it's necessary to understand route C better

acoustic oriole
#

yep, plus that new mini game is really cool, although slightly overused at times

prisma halo
#

fuck though, the route C intro really lets you know that you're finally playing the game

acoustic oriole
#

yeah

#

I made a huge mistake starting the intro before going to sleep

prisma halo
#

hahahaha

acoustic oriole
#

I was like "I'll just get started and continue tomorrow"

prisma halo
#

I was up until 5 am

#

beating route C, D & E

vague egret
#

nier was so good

#

im going back doing the extra stuff now. stuff i missed

prisma halo
#

Yeah, I have some side quests to do

#

I'm holding back from ending Y until I play the original NieR

vague egret
#

what lvl are you?

prisma halo
#

50-something? I forget

vague egret
#

you're gonna need lvl 99 for the secret bosses

prisma halo
#

I'd imagine as much

#

I don't mind, the game is fun enough for me to reach that level without complaint

vague egret
#

ye

crimson folio
#

So I've heard this game has like fifty bajillion endings but how long does a "playthrough" last?

fair mirage
#

on average, about 500 hours

#

there's some short endings that are around 300

#

but those are boring and lame

serene needle
#

which game?

jade root
#

Huniepop

serene needle
#

ahh

fair mirage
#

tfw i thought this was dusk conversating but it was nier

#

rip

serene needle
#

Is there an NDA on Dusk?

jade root
#

No

#

Only GBA

serene needle
#

tf?

#

Never heard of a GBA

austere egret
#

Game boy advanced

mild ginkgo
#

if theres an NDA on it youll know about it

#

general rule of thumb

#

you wont get something that has an nda on it and not know its there

serene needle
#

thanks

fair mirage
#

yeah that's a thing they make obvious so you don't break it

graceful wing
#

NDA on dusk? nah the steam build's fine to do pretty much anything with

noble basin
#

crimson folio
#

have i missed the key?

autumn compass
#

nope

crimson folio
#

#

is dave on?

autumn compass

nope

#

but david is

crimson folio
#

sorry i meant david

thorn trout
wraith cape
#

omg there's a weapon slider?!
Dusk will have all the things!

serene needle
#

Dusk will have all the bells and whistles

#

but viewmodel fov?

autumn compass
#

do so i can crank my fov up to 500

#

i want everything to look like im tripping balls

wraith relic
#

who WOULDN'T want to have compound eyes?

#

as in, those eyes that flies have; the ones that are made up of lots of eyes

thorn trout
#

fov goes up to 150 which already looks really trippy

wraith relic
#

that give them really wide vision

exotic ibex
#

you should genuinely allow up to 360

exotic ibex
#

thats why though

opal adder
#

I mean, if the goal was to utterly disorient the player by throwing them into an entirely alien environment, sure.

#

Which would be an amazing idea, if done right

#

but for old-school twitch shooters, personally, it'd give me nausea

exotic ibex
#

@thorn trout any chance you could throw out an image of what 360 fov would look like in dusk?

thorn trout
#

it's not very exciting. Image flips at fov 180 so it's just a very high fov but upside down. You have to do a different sort of projection / whatever thingy to get the Quake 360 view

opal adder
#

The video's using Mercator projection, like a map

exotic ibex
#

lame

#

:(

thorn trout
#

yeah, sorry :P

opal adder
#

It could be an idea for a possible walking simulator, though.

#

Like, Interstellar except with more Lovecraft

keep trying m8y, whenever dave is on he'll usually drop one xP

i did try to redeem the key when i saw it but it seems the lurkers got to it.

and because if damin lurkers that is the reason i will never get a dusk key

haughty sundial
#

im too slow tho

#

damn lurkers !

when i saw the key i just froze. like. my body was stiff don't take that the wrong way
