Dang. I feel like a monster. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

crimson folio
#

I have a handful of bundle tag-alongs but mostly I just buy shooters and fishing games, which are small enough categories that I'm never taken by "ooh, I want that too"

thorn trout
#

It's not the consumer's fault. I mean, it's not anyone's fault per se, it's just how the market's gone

#

there's no ethical problem with buying bundles

crimson folio
#

look at this

thorn trout
#

at the same time, I think it's good that some indies have started valuing themselves higher

#

even if it sometimes shoots them in the foot

crimson folio
#

the laziest steam page ever

thorn trout
#

but hope has a new name tho

red abyss
#

Is it DUSK?

crimson folio
#

I kind of want to buy Owl Boy just for them having the guts to say "We spent 8 years on this, it's worth $25, fuck you"

thorn trout
#

Or SuperHot, or The Witness.

#

I don't think it's a bad thing to have bigger games upping the price for everyone

toxic wadi
#

laziest steam page ever, but it IS from 2005

#

also yeah i agree. its kind of funny (in a sad way) that people can look at a game that they can probably get hours of enjoyment out of, and scoff at a $20 price tag

red abyss
#

Yeah, Spacehack came out roughly at the same time that Steam was becoming a legit marketplace, and not just "what you had to do to play CSS/HL2"

toxic wadi
#

applies to me too unfortunately

thorn trout
#

It's even worse than that. People will complain about a $2-$3 price tag

#

or did a few years ago

toxic wadi
#

i havent seen that yet, but thats just fucked

thorn trout
#

I dunno how much it's changed lately since these things can change really fast

#

It's especially true when you make short games

#

because in a lot of peoples' minds time = value

#

Even though as previously discussed a lot of people don't have the time to even play the games in their backlog

toxic wadi
#

thats a weird thing to me also. i have a lot of friends that will not buy a game unless they're sure they're getting like 2+ hours per dollar

thorn trout
#

What's the age range? I kinda suspect that tends to be a younger person thing

#

since you have a lot more time and a lot less money

toxic wadi
#

i think the dude i know who's the worst with that is like 20

thorn trout
#

ehh I guess that's not that young

toxic wadi
#

yeah. im 20 and im drowning in free time atm but even i dont play games that much

thorn trout
#

it's weird, now that I'm an adult I technically have more free time, but I spend less time playing games because my job is something I want to do :P

#

when I was in college it was like "screw studying... GAMES"

#

now I'm like "I could be spending this time working on Dusk"

toxic wadi
#

yeah i feel that

#

i always get this thing where i cant even enjoy playing games or "relaxing" because i would rather work on my game, or get a nagging feeling that i should

thorn trout
#

what's your game?

toxic wadi
#

it started out as a wave survival thing inspired by stuff like Crimsonland. i love that type of shit. but i was a little dissatisfied with that so im trying to turn it into a semi-linear shooter with a "classic fps" styled approach to level design. no random gen, enemies and weapons with specific purposes, secrets, etc.

thorn trout
#

oh cool! Sounds like something I'd be interested in

#

ahh yeah that sort of thing is always "fun" to deal with

woeful sonnet
#

@toxic wadi I relate to this

toxic wadi
#

its hell

red abyss
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

toxic wadi
#

@thorn trout so im wondering what kind of enemy designs you had in mind for dusk and what their purposes are

#

i'm coming up with a design doc for my game and i have some enemy concepts so far. area denial enemies, maybe physically or just with strong melee damage. cannonfodder enemies so you're always killing something and not everything is a high health tank. lots of projectile based enemies to keep the player moving

mild ginkgo
#

i mean, just from the alpha demo which im sure youve seen footage of, those roles are well fulfilled in dusk

#

soldiers = fodder, wizards = projectiles, leathernecks = tanky melee

toxic wadi
#

i havent seen much gameplay at all tbh. but im mostly wondering what the processes are for making an enemy and determining how they affect the gameplay

mild ginkgo
#

scarecrows = fuck you

toxic wadi
#

i saw the trailer and got mad hyped but mostly wanted to stay somewhat in the unknown

thorn trout
#

hmm let's see... honestly I started out thinking about roles like that--hitscanners, projectile enemies, bigger baddies, etc--but at this point I've gone more in the direction of trying to make the designs and behavior interesting and unique rather than trying to fill specific roles, if that makes sense

toxic wadi
#

yeah that does make sense

thorn trout
#

but of course it's difficult not to naturally fall into certain popular FPS roles

#

so you still have soldiers/goats filling a pseudo weak hitscanner role, scarecrows / [redacted] filling a bruiser brothers role of sorts, etc

toxic wadi
#

yeah, i feel like im basically copying from doom with most of these designs

#

thats like my favorite game of all time so its hard for me not to

thorn trout
#

heh I hear ya. I've been struggling a lot not to just make Doom reskins

mild ginkgo
#

some of those [redacteds] excite me ;)

#

because i dont know much about them, my imagination can wander

thorn trout
#

There's a miniboss I don't think anyone knows about that I think people will love.

#

@toxic wadi I think Serious Sam is probably the best when it comes to interesting but simple enemy behavior in an FPS context

toxic wadi
#

thats true

#

a lot of people say serious sam is mindless but theres a fair bit going on with the enemy variety

mild ginkgo
#

kleers :O

#

sam 3 is an exception to that btw

#

sam 3 has useless enemies

thorn trout
#

Heh I remember when IGN reviewed SS3 and called it mindless amid modern "first person thinkers" and I lost it

mild ginkgo
#

not ALL of them

thorn trout
#

SS definitely isn't mindless. It's fast-paced strategy

mild ginkgo
#

i mean they added useless ones

#

fucking pillar monkey things

thorn trout
#

yeah SS3 new enemies are for the most part not very good

#

ranging to really horrible

mild ginkgo
#

but yeah, being new to sam recently

#

im really fresh on how enemies made me feel

#

and it was INCREDIBLE how well everything was thought out

toxic wadi
#

i hated those fucking monkeys

mild ginkgo
#

they all had such specific purpose

#

streamlined experience

#

every enemy existing modified the current gameplay

thorn trout
#

@toxic wadi rightly so! They just slowed gameplay down and weren't any fun to fight

#

@mild ginkgo they worked on SS for awhile iirc so they had a lot of time to refine the gameplay

#

and in terms of the whole "dance of death" arena combat philosophy, I think it's basically unmatched

#

It doesn't have the same visceral thrill as some other similar games (like Painkiller) but the core gameplay design is nearly perfect

toxic wadi
#

im scared that im gonna try to implement smart enemy design and fuck it up

#

i want to be cognitively aware of how every enemy i place in the editor will change up the gameplay

thorn trout
#

Yeah it sounds like you're exactly where I was when I started Dusk. For what it's worth I've found that it's not QUITE as fragile as it sounds. You can mess with enemy placement without destroying too much, provided the stuff that affects the flow/feel of combat is robust enough

#

I think it's more important to just focus on having variety in placement/layout than it is to try to puzzle out exactly what each enemy position will do to combat

#

not that I'm an expert either of course

#

I'm basically exploring the same path :P

toxic wadi
#

sweet dude

thorn trout
#

๐Ÿ‘

toxic wadi
#

thank you buddy!!

red abyss
#

@toxic wadi Props to you for writing docs.

crimson folio
#

Glad to see someone else give credit to Serious Sam. I hate how say it's mindless and that all you do is hold S+M1

toxic wadi
#

๐Ÿ‘

thorn trout

maybe those people have only played on easy :P

toxic wadi

mild ginkgo
#

while you were waiting for the new build, churbot was mastering the blade

#

@gleaming berry whats your fastest time for E1

prisma halo
#

@mild ginkgo tfw I can run Dusk on my phone if I want

mild ginkgo
#

well, given david hasnt done any fucky shaders/effects that require things like directx etc

#

otherwise we'll get pink screen of death

#

unless he has proper mobile fallbacks

prisma halo
#

I wonder if that's actually caused by the motion blur being on but set to zero

mild ginkgo
#

in which case

#

damn that dude is thorough

prisma halo
#

I wonder if that's actually caused by the motion blur being on but set to zero

mild ginkgo
#

damn that dude is thorough

prisma halo
#

(the pink screen)

mild ginkgo
#

#

i told him about that

prisma halo
#

thorn trout
#

when NB Discord catches on fire you'll know the build is out

heady vortex
#

You really think someone would do that?

worthy vector
#

That will be a fun day...

heady vortex
#

Just go on the dusk server and lurk?

autumn compass
#

the majority of the members in the NB discord is consisting of lurkers

#

we are the few sole survivers

worthy vector
#

I hate being one...

mild ginkgo
#

worthy vector
#

I try.

thorn trout

"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.

its the only way to get it lol

Thats niffy.

feral acorn
#

I was just thinking "free games ftw"

crimson folio
#

i was thinking ''this game is the second coming of christ and i need it''

feral acorn
#

then I found out it was like... a competition for the key

exotic ibex
#

now you should poke at gilby for losing his glitched speedrun to 500

I basically only have it by default

exotic ibex

as soon as i get a chance im gonna be on that grriiind 24/7 non stop ๐Ÿ˜ค for dusk once its available

crimson folio
#

So when do they usually give out Pre-Alpha keys here?

exotic ibex
#

randomly

crimson folio
#

Oh okay

#

I'll have to keep an eye out i guess, thanks

austere egret
#

Basically, when Dave (El Oshcuro) shows up, have your steam key reader open

crimson folio
#

Okay. So basically when he's online and typing?

austere egret
#

yeah

crimson folio
#

Okay thanks

austere egret
#

And be quick on the draw

#

He normally only posts one at a time, and there are a bunch of thirsty lukers that want dat Dusk key

crimson folio
#

What is a lurker anyway? I hear that term thrown around all the time

austere egret
#

Someone who is on the server, but doesn't participate in any way

crimson folio
#

That sounds kind of annoying

austere egret
#

They "Lurk", reading posts every now and then, waiting for free keys and other such things

#

You don't have to be active here every day, but don't be a lurker

crimson folio
#

Yeah I would hate to be game developer and have that type of stuff in my discord

austere egret
#

Just stop by and say hi every now and then at least

crimson folio
#

Okay. Thanks for the help.

austere egret
#

No problem, friendo

@mild ginkgo has the chat become popular since I've been away or is it just lurkers emerging because they heard the word ๐Ÿ”‘?

Man, I went to the can and missed keys.

verbal sand
#

hey does the game get released on steam with just episode 1

#

just as a question

crimson folio
#

i dont think its gonna be a telltales game

#

I still can't figure out how to get on top of the house. I suck

vague egret
crimson folio
#

sorry bb

lavish galleon
#

Wait...

mild ginkgo
#

@verbal sand when the episode one build is out, current steam users will have their clients updated. That will likely be the last update until full launch with all 3 episodes. I cannot say what form DuskWorld beta testing will take

Hey guys

KEYS

gleaming berry
#

!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.

leaden urchin
#

dusk world is a different thing from Dusk?

quiet rose
#

its the multiplayer component

leaden urchin
#

ah i see, a nod to QW then

toxic wadi
#

what is morale for?

austere egret
#

Armor

mild ginkgo
#

Armor

toxic wadi
#

oh alright, sweet

#

i figured thats what it was but had to make sure

austere egret
#

Its like armor from doom/quake

mild ginkgo
#

You can go to sleep to increase your morale

leaden urchin
#

how much damage does morale absorb

austere egret
#

about half I think?

mild ginkgo
#

It's 50%

austere egret
#

I mean, its like old armor systems, so yeah

mild ginkgo
#

Well quake3 had red armor and yellow armor that absorbed different amounts

#

But dusk is more traditional

austere egret
#

Like I said, morale is basically Doom/Quake1 armor

#

Or half life suit power

mild ginkgo
#

But yeah keep an eye out for cute little secrets

#

Like maybe try cooking yourself a meal, taking a nap, or having a drink

toxic wadi
#

i did have some drinks on my first time playing. got drunk for the rest of the level tho

crimson folio
#

After playing DUSK for two hours i can say that it's a very challenging game. It took me like 8 times to beat the demo level

rocky nacelle
#

It is fun though ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

crimson folio
#

Extremely

toxic wadi
#

are there difficulty settings in it yet

crimson folio
#

No

toxic wadi
#

also whats the record for waves survived

rocky nacelle
#

The idea of Dusk multiplayer is also very appealing. Especially if it is like QW ๐Ÿ˜„

toxic wadi
#

well, it is called DuskWorld

crimson folio
#

Uh. Waves survived? hold on

#

I dont know what the record is

rocky nacelle
#

Lucas is talking about Endless mode

toxic wadi
#

yeah

crimson folio
#

I know

toxic wadi
#

i think i made it to like 10 or 11

#

on first try

crimson folio
#

i made it to like 4. I'm trash

crimson folio
#

Lucas, currently @exotic ibex has the top survival record. He's got a pic of it somewhere.

mild ginkgo
#

the record is around 7.5k kills

#

which is a ridiculous number of waves

#

approx 8 hours of gameplay

toxic wadi
#

fuck that

mild ginkgo
#

yeah nobody will beat hanks record

#

its not realistic

jade root

hank was exploiting the fuck out of it too

those screenshots look great, might have a real competitor on our hands..

why do almost no FPS Creator devs make their own assets

these are all assets that come with the engine

Oh nice thanks for linking my second game steev

TGC are the people that made FPS Creator

i like that a lot

"7/10 could use more of our assets" - TGC

exotic ibex
#

keep in mind the timer doesnt go above 99 minutes. that was well over an 8 hour run.

toxic wadi
#

wtf

exotic ibex
#

i like dusk man

#

it tickles my sam bone while also being like quake.

#

i like it

barren valve
#

How u do dat

#

Pls tell

atomic egret
#

hank has a video on it I think

barren valve
#

Link pls b0ss

atomic egret
#

one sec

#

you're gonna have to get him to link it because most of his videos are unlisted

#

paging @exotic ibex

barren valve
#

Thx b0ss

exotic ibex
#

its different from my video

#

you know the layout of the endless map?

barren valve
#

Yee

exotic ibex
#

you can get the gist of my strat from that video but its changed to offer a better start

#

every single wave is exactly the same from 6 and up

#

the real challenge of endless is not getting hit and saving up al the hp vials

#

in all honesty, the map is fairly easy.

barren valve
#

Kek. I ain't that good but Yee I understand that

exotic ibex
#

it just comes from beign situationaly aware. that run i put on youtube is my 650~ish run

#

which kept doubling until i ran into problems that prevented me from getting much further.

#

the part where you see me start with the box

#

the difference between that strat and the optimized one is that you go from killing one soldier, one leatherneck, and one scarecrow to two soldiers, one leatherneck, and two scarecrows if you get it right

#

and depending on how fast you did that sequence depends on where the AI paths from there.

#

sometimes you can do it too quick and eat a couple shots if you're not aware of it.

barren valve
#

Dah

#

So it's all in the skills eh. No exploits?

exotic ibex
#

all legit unless you count boxes instagibbing an exploit

barren valve
#

Naw

exotic ibex
#

ammo conservation is really important on that map

atomic egret
#

well I mean in your own words

#

"I play endless because I'm not good enough to speedrun"

exotic ibex
#

^

barren valve
#

Kek

exotic ibex
#

i enjoy the idea of speedrunning but dusk is really tight on some of the methods to get the timer down

#

so tight that it would take me too long to get consistently.

atomic egret
#

it's funny cause endless is basically the exact opposite of speedrunning

exotic ibex
#

plus in endless i can give my play a personality and still rank high

atomic egret
#

I bet I could get a speedrun world record for endless :^)

barren valve
#

Speaking of endless. You guys hear about the 1000 second WR in devil daggers earlier this year?

#

Fuckin no one though it was possible

exotic ibex
#

i want to get a copy of that and see how it is before i look into all of that.

barren valve
#

Ah. I really enjoy it

#

But my time is shit

exotic ibex
#

quite a few people recommended it to me after i started breaking a couple thousand in kills

barren valve
#

Ah

mild ginkgo
#

ehhhh

#

its aight

#

very memorizey

crystal vessel
#

Is Devil Daggers just a flat plane with enemies all around you?

toxic wadi

surreal scarab
#

me

#

:3

crimson folio
#

I have

#

how long has dave been giving away keys?

#

As far as i know its been quite a few months. I don't know how long exactly

#

a lot of people would have gotten keys then lol

#

Most of them are lurker assholes who come here to steal keys from people who actually interact with people

#

yeah

#

LURKERS OUT

#

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

earnest jacinth
#

i actually used to lurk but i wasnt looking for keys at all because i was aware that would be an asshole thing to do, even if i didnt know it was explicitally stated that it wasnt liked

crimson folio
#

i wonder if there'll still be keys being given away now or it'll just be the 2 for the gleam giveaway

#

I lurked the first few days i was here but then i realised its easier to get a key if youre active

#

ye

#

was a key released last night?

#

im always in bed before they drop...

earnest jacinth
#

its not even the difficulty of getting a key that should stop you from being a lurker

crimson folio
#

it was also that it was boring just sitting in front of my discord all day

earnest jacinth
#

its common sense, it should be clear that just snatching away a key from people who actually deserve them more due to them actually talking actively is an asshole thing to do

crimson folio
#

tbh there should be some way to hide keys from people who never interact lol

earnest jacinth
#

yeah

crimson folio
#

i like this community

earnest jacinth
#

same

crimson folio
#

Or just kick inactive people

#

i love this community

#

but seeing a key being taken by somebody who NEVER speaks prior to me being here is a bit sad

#

it pissed me off when i realised it was an issue

#

same

earnest jacinth
#

i sometimes like joining chats that are for stuff that i really enjoy

#

which is why i joined this server

crimson folio
#

im in so many discord servers

#

i never talk in

earnest jacinth
#

"hey this game looks really nice, how about i join it so i can talk with people about it n shit?"

#

thats my logic of joining some chats

crimson folio
#

Yeah i joined the server because i saw people in the comment section of the trailer and i was like,"this is the least cancerous video game comment section"

#

hnghh i need dusk

#

I cant wait for the full game to come out

earnest jacinth
#

smaller fanbases are usually better

crimson folio
#

the 'when its done' release date is mildy infuriating

exotic ibex
#

you cant rush quality

crimson folio
#

ik

#

but

#

It's kinda funny

#

muh great game

earnest jacinth
#

i think with every fanbase, the thing is, the bigger it gets, the worse it gets

crimson folio
#

i wish the pre-alpha demo was still available

#

Like COD

#

i was too late

#

That's what the keys are for

earnest jacinth
#

it was publically available at one point

#

correct me if im wrong

crystal vessel
#

Are you thinking of the free early early early as fuck builds?

crimson folio
#

I have a file you guys might be interested in actually. Something that shows how long ive been following this game

#

the tech demos?

earnest jacinth
#

and like, one reason that fanbases get worse as they get bigger, is because of bandwagoning

crimson folio
#

One of the SUPER early tech demos

earnest jacinth
#

yeah

crimson folio
#

how early?

crystal vessel
#

Early enough that it isn't gonna give you the same feel

crimson folio
#

woah

earnest jacinth
#

i remember i found out about the free builds a day after they were no longer available

crimson folio
#

it has the hammer. Is that early enough?

#

c h r i s t

earnest jacinth
#

i was following Dusk when the reveal trailer was released

#

but like

crimson folio
#

same

#

FRICC i have to upload it to mediafire

earnest jacinth
#

i followed like the steam page and such

crimson folio
#

i was only hardcore following like 2 weeks ago

#

i glanced at the twitter feed

earnest jacinth
#

but i didnt ACTIVELY follow it for some time

crimson folio
#

same

earnest jacinth
#

which is why i missed the free demo

crimson folio
#

ditto

#

:(

earnest jacinth
#

by a fucking day

crimson folio
#

what state is dusk in now?

#

alpha?

#

beta?

earnest jacinth
#

id say beta

crimson folio
#

Pre-pre-alpha

#

but EP2 is in production...

earnest jacinth
#

wait really?

#

yeah that

quiet rose
#

Pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha is the steam build

crimson folio
#

but the demo was pre pre pre alpha

earnest jacinth
#

he means how it is now

crimson folio
#

illuminati

exotic ibex
#

david is polishing up E1

austere wharf
#

pre-pre-pre-pre-alphaยฒ

exotic ibex
#

then we'll get it to break

#

and he'll work on E2

crimson folio
#

but E1 is roughly complete?

earnest jacinth
#

id say its alpha if he's polishing it

exotic ibex
#

its pretty much finished, yeah.

#

it just needs polish

earnest jacinth
#

when E1 is finished, then id say its beta

crimson folio
#

Somewhere around that time

#

ever

#

i've entered a million

#

and won none

crystal vessel
#

okay

crimson folio
#

I've never won a giveaway in general

#

same

austere wharf
#

ive never won anything

crimson folio
#

i always get picked for betas and alphas tho

#

except rising storm

#

:(

earnest jacinth
#

wait wait

crystal vessel
#

I once won one of those "guess how many things are in the jar" things and won a Spongebob poster.

crimson folio
#

rising storm 2*

earnest jacinth
#

i looked up explanations of stages of stuff

crimson folio
#

anyway

earnest jacinth
#

and now id actually say that even when EP1 is finished, it still be alpha

crimson folio
#

i just wish the lurkers would state their buisness

#

the thotties

earnest jacinth
#

crimson folio
#

no enemies or anything

#

A TRELLO

quiet rose
#

@austere wharf no

crimson folio

quiet rose
