#

this has nothing to do with dusk

leaden urchin
#

how are bosses going to be handled, are they going to be like in the shown alpha footage where its just beefier basic enemies or will they be actually interesting?

thorn trout
#

lol that's a bit of a loaded question :D

#

the hope is for them to be interesting

mild ginkgo
#

roflmao

#

90's fps bosses have never really been anything more than beefy enemies

#

icon of sin is an obvious exception

#

but also its a fucking wall

leaden urchin
#

just cuz it aims to be retro, doesnt mean u gotta bring back the not so good stuff as well ya know?

mild ginkgo
#

oh i know

#

im sure david has cool things in mind for the bosses

leaden urchin
#

im just hoping the game to be good, hence me being blunt with the questions

mild ginkgo
#

itd be a shame to spoil bosses here

thorn trout
#

They aren't going to be particularly complex but I aim to make them a little more than normal enemies.

leaden urchin
#

doom 2016 bosses while flashy, are technically simple paterns

#

but yeah bosses dont have to be anything over the top, say a guy with a big blade swinging low (jump to dodge) and high (crouch/slide) with 1 or 2 extra patterns would be enough to be a compelling boss

mild ginkgo
#

thats a neat idea

#

also theres always the possibility of dusk expansion packs :^)))))))

#

(I WOULD BE SUPER HYPE ABOUT THOSE PLEASE DO THEM DAVID)

#

i love expansion packs

thorn trout
#

I have several freaking amazing ideas for expansions, if I do say so myself

mild ginkgo
#

ahahahah yeesssssssssss

#

pls dont call them dlc

#

expansion packs

thorn trout
#

yeah they should be called expansion packs

#

or mission packs?

#

probably expansion packs

#

re: bosses... I want to keep them fairly simple tbh. Expect them to be more like what you'd see in classic FPS than what you'd see now.

leaden urchin
#

so the would be more like Mini bosses by today standards?

#

i guess as long as the lvl themselves are compelling, it can get away with simpler bosses

mild ginkgo
#

i mean

#

go watch the trailer

#

did the boss look interesting to you?

#

(referring to the fire breathing horse thing)

#

THUNDERHORSE

leaden urchin
#

i think i missed that trailer, mind dropping the link?

mild ginkgo
leaden urchin
#

thx

#

ive seen this, i guess i oversaw the horse

#

oh well ill stay optimistic, most of you have access to test builds of the game anyways right?

thorn trout
#

a lot of people have the pre-alpha and those keys will turn into ep1 soon (and eventually the full game)

leaden urchin
#

right so i can just ask them for non spoiler insights on the boss fights

thorn trout
#

yup

acoustic oriole
#

"DUSK: Mission Pack 1"
"DUSK: Mission Pack 2"

#

brings a tear to my eye

thorn trout
#

:)

slate edge
#

Dusk: dissolution of the scourge of the ground zero

leaden urchin
#

so lemme get sumthing strait, game releases when Ep1 is done and the later episodes are added for free as theyre done? then if the game sells well you will release mission packs?

thorn trout
#

not quiiite. We haven't completely decided what to do with ep1 but we're pretty sure it will go up on Steam so everyone who has a pre-alpha key atm will get an update, and will be able to play ep1 (for testing and to give people something new to play :D). Plan atm is official release will be all 3 at once. And if the game sells well I do plan on doing expansions.

autumn compass
#

i hope the game sells damn well then!

thorn trout
#

me too :)

leaden urchin
#

alright, sounds good to me, if i get lucky nabbing a key from the discord ill make sure to leave insight to help make the game better

thorn trout
#

๐Ÿ‘

acoustic oriole
#

a friend of mine wants the game - I'll buy it for him when it releases... can't have myself playing the full game for free Leatherneck

graceful wing
#

yup once you've had a chance to play the game feel free to drop your feedback on the steam forums or in #240196737397030922 @leaden urchin

gleaming berry
#

Episode 1 of Dusk campaogn has 3 boss encounters

#

well 4

#

some are mini

#

they have health bars and stuff

#

they are not normal enemies

#

the Duke Brothers remain however

#

theyre in like... level 6?

#

IDK YOULL SEE

acoustic oriole
#

LOL

thorn trout
#

yeah there will be a fair number of bosses actually.

#

but a lot are like minibosses

gleaming berry
#

every 3+ levels or so

thorn trout
#

so just tough enemies

gleaming berry
#

also they are usually large

#

cuz bosses

autumn compass
#

dave

slate edge
#

make mouse boss

acoustic oriole
#

I do hope the Duke Brothers are tougher than they are in the pre-alpha :P

autumn compass
#

give us a hint to the release date of the new build damnit!

thorn trout
#

NO HINT

#

because we don't want to be lynched when we don't meet it :)

slate edge
#

Duke brothers in pre alpha were a bit too easy

thorn trout
#

pre alpha in general was easy

red abyss
#

@thorn trout Always smart.

thorn trout
#

so people of all skill levels could get through it

#

now there are difficulty settings

slate edge
#

Good call

acoustic oriole
#

can't wait to hear the new cultists' lines

Anyone need a quake champions beta key?

hexed roost

If you've got one you want to give away, PM it to one of the admins

fossil slate
#

ok

leaden urchin
#

i wouldnt mind the key personally

red abyss
#

Nice

thorn trout
#

VOTE NOW

atomic egret
#

do it david

gleaming berry
#

I never cared about them tbh

#

seemed like bullshit times to hit

#

I MAKE MY OWN GHOSTIES

mild ginkgo
#

I VOTED YES

exotic ibex
#

i did too.

#

a par time doesnt hurt

mild ginkgo
#

BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU IF YOURE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, ALSO I JUST FIND THEM REALLY ENDEARING

rotund glen
#

yeah gotta have those par times

#

We're doing them in you know what

thorn trout
#

@gleaming berry that's how I've always felt too but I dunno

rotund glen
#

they're kinda cool because they're a challenge

mild ginkgo
#

WE DONT KNOW WHAT

hexed roost
#

i love you know what!

atomic egret
#

half life 3

thorn trout
#

hee hee I do know what and nobody else does. I like this feeling

atomic egret
#

come on david you can tell us we won't tattle

mild ginkgo
#

i hate it

#

it makes me want to end my life

atomic egret
#

that's how I feel every day

mild ginkgo
#

im kidding though

thorn trout
#

nope, no can tell :)

mild ginkgo
#

im SUPER excited to find out about it

#

but that will come in due time

rotund glen
#

yeah. Dusk it up in the meantime

mild ginkgo
#

every detail we have heard has been A+

#

so keep doing what you do

#

i keep the faith

rotund glen
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

thorn trout
#

New Blood has some awesome stuff lined up

#

I am excited to be working with them

hexed roost
#

"dusk it up" he says, b-but no new build ;____;

atomic egret
#

Hey @thorn trout I was wondering the other day, is Dusk going to have steam workshop support or just regular old drag n' drop modding

thorn trout
#

we're hoping for workshop

hexed roost
#

i think there's a few Unity titles that take advantage of the workshop

thorn trout
#

modding will be something that's focused on post-release (I mean, unless Zombie somehow has Dawn figured out before then, in which case go nuts). But it's definitely something we want to do. Steamworks and otherwise.

hexed roost
#

but ultimately i think the workshop kinda sucks, uploading and maintaing a mod on it is always a total pain in the ass

#

drag 'n' drop for life

atomic egret
#

there are a lot of games it barely works on

rotund glen
#

yeah the workshop is a clusterfuck

hexed roost
#

i know for paradox titles every time a game like EUIV or HOI is updated it's an absolute nightmare to update your mod for the latest build

#

what should be the simplist thing in the world is an unmitigated shitfest

#

seeing as you're literally changing version numbers in a text file

thorn trout
#

well if we have workshop support I assume we'll have drag and drop support in some form. I dunno though. Like I said that'll come after release.

#

unless nobody buys Dusk

#

in which case gg

hexed roost
#

this is just us moaning about the workshop in general, haha.

#

i'm sure a happy medium can be found with DUSK

#

[post launch, of course]

rotund glen
#

make people have to use command lines

#

oldschool

thorn trout
#

^^^

atomic egret
#

Don't worry David, I'm sure plenty of people will shill the fuck out of dusk

rotund glen
#

dusk.exe -file awesome.mod

#

yeah Dusk already has lots of fans, and it's not even out yet ๐Ÿ˜„

mild ginkgo
#

zombie is designing Dawn to be VERY robust

atomic egret
#

it's not even in beta yet

mild ginkgo
#

idk if youve seen the videos of the console he added to the game etc

#

but its impressive stuff

#

its a modder's dream

#

and his ultimate plan with it is to turn it into a framework for Unity devs to integrate, so modding is more widespread

#

also dusk it up you say?

#

ok whos gonna 1v1 me duskworld?

thorn trout
#

hmm, I should make an official dusmkatch level for testing

#

ghetto aerowalk works but... :)

hexed roost
#

de_dusk

leaden urchin
#

Dusk2

exotic ibex
#

i have an idea for a weird testing map

#

it'll be ripped straight from reflex

#

but i think it should be big enough

mild ginkgo
#

dude ghetto aerowalk is trash

#

it just doesnt fit dusk

#

and thats fine

#

you definitely need to design a real duskmatch map

hexed roost
#

i'm curious to see what you're dm design choices are like

mild ginkgo
#

me too lol

#

all we have is aerowalk

#

and its too claustrophobic for a game as fucking insanely fast as dusk

thorn trout
#

yeah it'll be easier to tweak everything once there's a map that fits the speed etc

exotic ibex
#

@mild ginkgo boot up reflex and take a look at the map grave

#

i think its grave

#

thats the map i have in mind

mild ginkgo
#

hm, yeah ill look at it and maybe port it to see

exotic ibex
#

i'll boot up reflex in a few moments

#

check to make sure what map it is

leaden urchin
#

that reminds me that i should play reflex more, im starting to get the hang of the movement

peak igloo
#

hey

#

important dusk question

#

pls say its not all rock

exotic ibex
#

the music you mean?

#

its ambient and metal

peak igloo
#

nice

#

i just remember when bobby prince was on board for doom

#

and u gotta realise that

#

too much of one thing makes the one thing not good

exotic ibex
#

nah. i've never had a problem with metal in any videogame.

mild ginkgo
#

but yes teef, there are much calmer ambient pieces

#

you can check andrews twitter for samples

#

@hexed roost !!!!

#

ayyyyyyy

#

idk why i did that here

#

i just kinda reacted

hexed roost
#

YES

#

HAHAHA

#

ONLY TOOK THREE FUCKING OT GOALS

exotic ibex
#

wot

acoustic oriole
#

delayed, but the par times are kinda bullshit imo. I mostly take note of secrets\enemies killed when I complete a level.

#

but then again, I'm not a huge fan of speedrunning, so take it with a grain of salt

atomic egret
#

yeah but think about it

#

because there are badges for completing different things in the level like completionist for getting all the secrets

#

there could be a badge for "speedrunner" for beating the par time

acoustic oriole
#

yep, in that case, absolutely

atomic egret
#

and subsequently an achievement for getting a certain amount of speedrunner badges or something like that

acoustic oriole
#

in original DOOM though, those par times are just an arbitrary goal

#

but I can see how it can contribute in DUSK's case, yeah

#

same thing, just with a reward badge

#

which isn't that different, but still better

atomic egret
#

but muh achievements

acoustic oriole
#

yep :P

atomic egret
#

I need my chievos man

#

like a crack addict

acoustic oriole
#

what's funny is

#

Steam achievements basically accomplish nothing but the achievement itself, there's no use for achievements there

#

and yet, that's what makes them addicting

#

just for the sake of having a secondary goal in a game

atomic egret
#

I NEEDS THEM

acoustic oriole
#

I really want the new endless arena O_O

#

well, basically "old endless arena" now

#

like you need your chievos, I NEED MA JUMP PADS

atomic egret
#

the new old endless arena

acoustic oriole
#

coining this title

atomic egret
#

or you could just call it "that barn level in endless"

acoustic oriole
#

I prefer to call it PAX arena

prisma halo
#

barn level?

#

oh right the one they showed at pax is a barn too

#

I was thinking of the OLD endless arena, pre-New Blood

atomic egret
#

ay zombie can you hit me with those links for olDusk?

prisma halo
#

it's not in any of those builds if you plan to look for it there

#

but sure

atomic egret
#

no you just reminded me

prisma halo
#
#

dammit formatting plugin

atomic egret
#

I kept meaning to ask but forgot

#

wtf happened with the link

prisma halo
#

THERE

#

I have a formatting plugin and it makes # turn text into fullwidth

#

#test# becomes ๏ฝ”๏ฝ…๏ฝ“๏ฝ”

#

it doesn't ignore links, unfortunately

#

and if you want me to show off the old endless arena, I don't have to, I'm pretty sure it's in the reveal trailer very briefly

atomic egret
#

AAA

prisma halo
#

the part where the player goes upside down after using the jump pad

atomic egret
#

MEATLASS

#

woah old riveter model is ugglee

prisma halo
#

yeah there you go, old endless arena

atomic egret
#

gee olDusk is weird

prisma halo
#

there's a little more you don't see but still

#

olDusk is very rightfully named so

atomic egret
#

afaik I was the first one to call it that

prisma halo
#

๐Ÿ…

#

(lmao)

crimson folio
#

why are you just giving them away

#

lol

atomic egret
#

I can't tell if that's dip or just someone with the same pfp

prisma halo
#

giving away what?

crimson folio
#

the dusk builds

atomic egret
#

medals?

prisma halo
#

those are like, before New Blood was even involved with the game

#

they're like, single-level prototypes

atomic egret
#

tech demos really

prisma halo
#

not even alphas

#

prototypes

crimson folio
#

k

prisma halo
#

they do have some interesting content in them though

#

interesting mainly because it was cut

#

and therefore gives a bit of insight into the game's development & choices

atomic egret
#

cut weapons are cool

#

like that thing made out of paddlepop sticks

prisma halo
#

the totem

atomic egret
#

that shoots plasma

prisma halo
#

it actually advanced to one more form before being cut

#

which you don't see in any of the public prototypes

atomic egret
#

yeah I remember you sharing a thing where it looked like that one weapon from hexen

prisma halo
#

yeah

#

it's the same weapon functionally

#

just different projectile colours & a new model

atomic egret
#

shame cause it looks cool

prisma halo
#

spinning it actually does melee damage

atomic egret
#

I'm guessing it was replaced by the crossbow?

prisma halo
#

yeah

#

weapon slot-wise anyway

#

interestingly

#

the crossbow replaces two weapons, code-wise

#

the chainsaw and the amulet/totem

atomic egret
#

yeah I thought so because of the magic kind of element it had

prisma halo
#

the chainsaw is completely removed

#

but the amulet's code actually remains

#

along with its weapon pickup (which remains functional)

#

but it just gives you the crossbow

#

the crossbow replaced the chainsaw's pickup, and took the amulet's slot

#

and the amulet took the chainsaw's slot

atomic egret
#

oh well I'm sure someone will mod it back in some time

#

;)

prisma halo
#

someone

#

:^)

#

technically I already have

#

hence the video

atomic egret
#

yeah

prisma halo
#

that video is actually a newer build that I restored the amulet code on

atomic egret
#

have you even played episode 1 yet zombie?

prisma halo
#

yeah

#

well, an earlier version of it

atomic egret
#

rating?

prisma halo
#

haven't played more recent iterations yet

#

it's fuckin' gucci

#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

atomic egret
#

my friend bought gucci flip flops

prisma halo
#

good

#

(also tbh I like the blue projectiles more than the greenish-yellow ones it had before being cut)

atomic egret
#

yeah me too

#

I think david showed that version with the paddle pop stick model in a video?

prisma halo
#

dunno

#

there are two old videos on his channel but neither feature the totem iirc

atomic egret
acoustic oriole
#

I played a bit of Quake last night, and I don't know if it's just DUSK playing tricks on me, but I remembered the ssg being a lot more meaty there

#

definitely mistaken it with DUSK's ssg

crimson folio
#

i dont like quakes shotguns

#

the ssg always needs to sound like a giant fucking cannon of fuck you

peak igloo
#

oooph those weapon sfx are not that good

#

for the mystical weapons

atomic egret
#

yeah it feels underwhelming after dusk @acoustic oriole

acoustic oriole
#

yep. it's kinda funny cause when I jumped into Quake, I felt something familiar, yet different

#

that's how DUSK nailed the Quake feeling, while also being completely different

atomic egret
#

it's what quake is when looking through rose tinted glasses

acoustic oriole
#

I actually played it for the first time last year

#

it was a blast

#

shortly before DOOM 16, as part of the hype\education process

peak igloo
#

also could i make a big recommendation

#

is the totem still in the game?

atomic egret
#

nop

autumn compass
#

nope

atomic egret
#

we can mod it back in post release though

#

zombie already did mod it back in

#

but only he has it

#

for reasons

acoustic oriole
#

I think the current arsenal is rock solid

peak igloo
#

ah ok i was gonna say those projectiles are rather hard to notice

atomic egret
#

I'm probably the only person in this discord that didn't think doom '16 was that great

acoustic oriole
#

I know it has significant flaws, but I can't deny how much fun I was having

#

I finished it in two sittings, and that's kinda hard to accomplish with me

atomic egret
#

I didn't even finish it

acoustic oriole
#

how far did you get?

autumn compass
#

i replayed a whole fukton

atomic egret
#

about half way I think

#

probably not even

#

I got to like the second hell level

acoustic oriole
#

give it another shot someday. with appropriate expectations. y'never know, you might change your mind

atomic egret
#

I was thinking about redownloading it soon

autumn compass
#

most of the hours i have put in to it, is by replaying the campaign

atomic egret

"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.

atomic egret
#

here's some basic info for you

crimson folio
#

Oh nice

barren valve

true words of a dusk fan

barren valve

^

atomic egret
#

pin this mans @graceful wing

crimson folio
#

My main question pre-release about Dusk: uh... you can be upside-down? I ain't never been upside-down in Quake before and it scares me.

atomic egret
#

yes you can backflip

autumn compass
#

yup

atomic egret
#

it's sweet

crimson folio
#

lol nice

acoustic oriole
#

worth noting it's also not forced on you

#

you can just not use it

atomic egret
#

it's only for style points ;)

crimson folio
#

why would I not use it

acoustic oriole
#

but you will

graceful wing
#

@atomic egret nah on this channel the pins are for stuff directly related to dusk

atomic egret
#

damn

crimson folio
#

Maybe a weird question - does Dusk have an inventory screen?

acoustic oriole
#

nope

atomic egret
#

nope

crimson folio
#

sick

acoustic oriole
#

just 1 to 9

atomic egret
#

no items other than weapons and what you can pick up off the ground and hold in your hands

acoustic oriole
#

that's about as inventory management as you're gonna get

crimson folio
#

Idk if that's a strange place to draw a line or not, but having to manage an inventory seriously saps the fun out of a shooter for me.

acoustic oriole
#

it depends

#

if it's forced on you like in borderlands, yes

atomic egret
#

I found rage wasn't all that bad with that stuff

acoustic oriole
#

nothing can kill a shooter more than having to babysit a menu every 5 minutes

atomic egret
#

eugh

#

ok I gotta go to bed for real now

barren valve
#

kek borderlands wasnt that bad.

acoustic oriole
#

I think RAGE isnt getting enough credit

#

it wasn't outstanding or anything, but still a solid shooter

atomic egret
#

I only recently started playing it so I can't say much yet

acoustic oriole
#

well, a better example of bad inventory is SHADOW WARRIOR 2 IN ALL CAPS

atomic egret
#

noooo

acoustic oriole
#

run, Gilby

atomic egret
#

sw1 is one of my fav games ;(

acoustic oriole
#

as in, 2013, or classic?

#

run before this turns into a conversation!

atomic egret
#

both, bye now.

acoustic oriole
#

same, see ya, good night

crimson folio
#

just wondering

#

when you get a code

#

is it a code for steam

mild ginkgo
#

yes

#

and it unlocks the full game upon launch

#

if you get it now, you have the game

crimson folio
#

wowee

#

dusk should have a f2p version where you have to pay to get a gun or progress through a level cuLol

#

i wish there was a way to only get notifications for key drops lmao

#

how much progress has dusk made since the pre pre alpha demo

#

ik about the silly weapon slider

mild ginkgo
#

A lot.

past scarab
#

progression system please. How am I supposed to enjoy a game if I pay $60 and you don't lock out all of the content behind leveling?

Make all of the guns useless until I earn attachments that make them useful at the expense of them being ugly

yup

its quite impressive

downgrading the graphics so much so it looks like id tech 2

earnest jacinth

its like a mix beetween the quake 1 engine and id tech 2

crimson folio

i love the trees tho

#

they're classic textures

and not a 3d model

idk why

#

but it reminds me of isle of the dead more than anything

if anybody knows about that game

isnt it that shit zombie game

crimson folio

yup

scott 'the skinny man' loehr

Quake II is like idtech2.5.

YES

awesome

yooooo

that sounds dope

prisma halo

@crimson folio nope, Quake is idtech 1, Quake 2 is idtech 2

but Doom is also idtech 1, despite being a different engine

crimson folio
#

Sorry, you're wrong.

prisma halo

idtech 1 can refer to either

as confusing as it can be

crimson folio

But I'm not gonna argue. You can believe w/e you want.

@thorn trout i meant to ask, did rivet/explosion jumping receive a change? i was driving myself mad last night because i cant make a jump i used to be able to make 9/10 times

#

it was probably just human error

#

but i have to know

thorn trout
#

oh wow good catch. It was very slightly nurfed to match single player

mild ginkgo
#

HAH OKAY

#

<3

thorn trout
#

I figure multiplayer rivet jump can be balanced separate though

#

so it's not final per se

mild ginkgo
#

yeah i mean, you could do server config stuff, physics etc

#

i just thought i was going crazy

thorn trout
#

that's true

mild ginkgo
#

its fine as it was, there was just a very specific jump that felt off, and i was like, huh either im bad, or this was changed

#

by like, not much

#

thats what was so strange about it

#

it was like 90% of what it was

thorn trout
#

gotcha :)

mild ginkgo

im glad im not crazy

You guys are gonna turn this into a DNF release time frame if you keep asking ;-)

thorn trout

hey @here in the pre alpha build could you explosive jump with gas cans just by throwing them down? Like, would they collide with your player's feet or did they have to hit the ground?

atomic egret

yep!

I'm trying to decide if that's something that's shown up recently

Yep... really Gilby?

you should know very well by now that Dave doesn't care about our messages

heh, I'd be able to make a cool golden gun for dusk once we can mod the game

Ye

hotdamn, those screens

crimson folio

Will Dusk have an unfiltered texture options? Like Quake's gl_nearest?

jade root

That's not a bad idea

thorn trout

I mean it already has unfiltered textures

jade root
#

ur face is an unfiltered texture

#

gottem

crimson folio
#

so we all know about the pixel slider

#

but i want that pixel slider

#

to be so damn hardcore

#

dusk becomes one giant pixel

thorn trout

I did too but Dave wants it to cap at 8x pixelization :)

jade root
#

zombie will mod it

thorn trout
#

probably

crimson folio
#

zombie will always mod it

ruby pewter

I'll mod this game until it's borderlands 3

if its borderlands 3, thatd mean its gearbox

pls dont let gearbox get their grubby mitts on this game

#

Does anyone know how to play the demo?

austere egret
#

Its not a demo, its an early Alpha build.

#

If you want it, you have to wait for a key to drop

#

Lucky for you, Dave hasn't dropped one yet

#

Its first come, first serve though, if someone else gets the key you're shit out of luck

#

And Dave vary rarely give out more than one key at a time

crimson folio
#

oh damn guess ill have to wait till it comes out to buy it haha

austere egret
#

No, Dave drops keys daily

#

well

#

sometimes

#

some weeks he only drops only every other day

#

It depends

#

If you stick around, you might be able to catch one

crimson folio
#

Do i input it on steam?

austere egret
#

That is, if Dave actually drops a key today instead of Shilling his twitter again for 1000th time

#

Yes you do

#

You put the key in like any other redeemable key

#

Not that hard

#

Though you'll need to be quick on the draw, 'cause like I said, First come, first serve, and there are a lot of lurkers on here who want that dusk goodness

crimson folio
#

Oh i see thank you sooooo much for clearing things up for me

austere egret
#

Also don't key beg

#

Its annoying and you will be ignored

mild ginkgo
#

your best chance of getting a key will also be on the second saturday of any given month

austere egret
#

Yep, giveaway days are the best time to try and snag a key

mild ginkgo
#

(thats movie night)

austere egret
#

Oh

#

That too

#

On movie night, the admins drop Dusk keys, a LOT of them, in the Cytube chat

#

You can get a dusk key AND watch a great (well, usually great) movie

@crimson folio Hope this clears everything up! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

why was RE7 so short

cause its a reseident evil game

i rather have a short quality game like re7 than a long snore fest

Dusk still needs lurker enemies that steal keys on new bloods difficulty

Would be best inside joke

oh my god

mild ginkgo

Also that's southern backwoods, dusk is northern Appalachia

#

Very different places

slate edge

I thought it was around Maine.

#

Not that Ive been there xD

mild ginkgo
#

Well Appalachia runs up the entire East Coast basically

#

But David is from Pennsylvania, so I imagine it's that region

thorn trout
#

basically yeah

mild ginkgo
#

Appalachia is really interesting

#

My grandparents lived in the Mass portion forever

jade root
#

ohio is corn and forest, with occasional amish

mild ginkgo
#

So I spent a lot of time in those mountains and woods as a kid

austere egret
#

The amish were everywhere back in new york

mild ginkgo
#

It just has this feel of slow decay

thorn trout
#

Yeah Ohio is super flat and open compared with PA

mild ginkgo
#

Like I used to play in the ruins of a burned down skii lodge

jade root
#

Ohio is boring

#

unless you move to the city

#

then its okay

thorn trout
#

I went to college in Ohio for two years. I thought it was beautiful. COnstant trees and hills get old after awhile :P

jade root
#

21 years of seeing the same shit and it gets boring

thorn trout
#

@mild ginkgo yeah esp in old oil areas or places like that you can come across some interesting stuff in the woods

jade root
#

on the bright side i grew up in the rust belt so there was a bunch of cool abandoned factories to explore

thorn trout
#

I also live in a fairly boring part of PA, where it's just sort of half way between Ohio mountains

#

Heh one of my favorite places nearby is an abandoned cement factory. Some textures from Dusk come from there.

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah the region I'm talking about was basically gutted post ww2. It's where GE did all their manufacturing. They employed 90% of the adult population in that city, so when they shut down all the plants, the earth started to reclaim it

#

Everyone lost their jobs and had to leave

thorn trout
#

oh man I'd love to go there

#

that sounds awesome to explore

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah dude it's really strange

jade root
#

yeah near my house is a random steel mill, not even that gutted, it just looks like people up and left it and nature took its course

crimson folio
#

when i went to cancun there was all this run down shit before the resorts

#

all rusty and abandoned

jade root
#

found a dead dog there once

#

it was sp00ky

thorn trout
#

Sadly it's a lot harder to explore those places when their in a populated area like a city

crimson folio
#

im suprised nobody really makes shit about all the desolate stuff in places like it

#

also

#

the uk

slate edge
#

I live in that place where clive barker`s undying is set, its pretty boring as you can imagine.

#

ive been watching the proper people adn dan bell a lot recently

i find that stuff super interesting

thorn trout
#

@slate edge are there spooky abandoned catacombs?

slate edge
#

Sadly no, I found an old bunker from ww2 though, despite Ireland being neutral

eh they prolly took some precautions

Its smaller than a container

I used to live in Hamburg in Germany at one point

#

I think Dusk looks fun and I am excited to play it and shoot guns and use jump pads and do flips.

#

same

#

fam i'd pay money to get early access

red abyss
#

EA's always a risk. People dropping reviews, shitting on it because it's not done, creating havoc for a project that's already in the middle of production.

#

Not unlike the havoc you'll experience when you're blasing cultists and finding secrets in DUSK!

thorn trout
#

neither Dave or I like EA

#

it comes with a load of issues

graceful wing
#

yup EA is good for some games but it absolutely will not work for dusk

crimson folio
#

For a single player playthrough I would way rather play it when it's complete. Dealing with beta-ish issues is fine for like online multiplayer because matches are brief and don't matter. I want my SP experience to be really excellent.

graceful wing
#

@thorn trout don't go EA even if dave threatens you to do so at gunpoint ๐Ÿ‘Œ

crimson folio
#

if ubisoft keeps their dlc practice like rainbow six they'll start getting into the good books

#

also something something good severs

thorn trout
#

I mean we're already sort of doing EA but it just isn't EA and we don't get paid :P

toxic wadi
#

early access tends to kill story based or campaign based games i think

thorn trout
#

since a bunch of people have keys

graceful wing
#

the free keys are more of a marketing trick since you can't buy access

toxic wadi
#

you get sick of a game when you play it enough. sometimes happens with EA that you get sick of the game while its in EA, and then you never get that full experience

thorn trout
#

@toxic wadi yeah precisely. That's happened to me with every EA game I've played

#

by the time it actually releases I've moved on

toxic wadi
#

yep

crimson folio
#

oh shit we're talking about early access

#

i thought we were talking publishers

#

im the biggest fucking idiot on earth

#

l

#

m

#

a

#

o

slate edge
#

Early access is a sound concept, its just its reputation from greedy low tier devs that ruined it all

crimson folio
#

yeah

#

it can work

#

but most people use it as a cash cow

#

i swear 3/4 of the money used from early access games is just lamboghini money

slate edge
#

Though it wouldnt really work for a singleplayer game with a strong attention to narrative at least because yeah....

crimson folio
#

they could just do episode at a time

#

or how about

#

pay premium price for episode at a time

#

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

we life is strange in this bitch

slate edge
#

Yeah, but a game like half life on early access wouldnt work because you`d get pissed off with it stopping and starting, it works more for a game where you can seemlessly add content to.

crimson folio
#

yeah

crystal vessel
#

Bring shareware back

red abyss
#

I wish. These days? Almost as bad of a deathstroke. Thanks, market saturation!

thorn trout
#

Yeah actual shareware isn't going to fly nowadays. Most people probably won't play past ep1 of Dusk anyway

#

which is sad

red abyss
#

But not as harsh of a deathstroke as you'll be dealing to the hordes of enemies found in DUSK with your twin scythes!

crimson folio

I WANT TO

What makes you say that?

thorn trout

because ep2 and ep3 are gonna rock

crimson folio

I WANT TO PLAY E1

@crimson folio that's just the nature ofthe market now. You have way more games for way less money and a gaming audience with limited time

My backlog is pretty slim. I just like very particular games in very narrow categories. I can see what you're saying though, most gamers these days are more "ominvores" than I am.

do you tend to only buy what you know you're going to play or are you just really good at keeping up with your backlog?

Bundles have done a lot of harm to the indie market imo

Yup.

i feel like it subconciously creates the idea that the games in the bundle are bargain bin or not worth playing somehow

a lot of indies have to sell for less than the price of a coffee

@thorn trout I just buy stuff I'm going to play.

@crimson folio that's admirable. A lot of us were taken in by bundle fever at least for a time

its a shame with indies because you have to look further into wether or not the indie is good

I've been trying to get back to just buying what I play. But... damn.

@red abyss well, example, I can only make money by participating in weeklong sales atm

these indie games always have minimal shitty PS jobs
