[graceful wing]

we're pushing out a small update to the steam build which includes save optimization and some minor bug fixes

changelog soon on the forums

[jaunty meteor]

Very cool!

Does that mean quicksaves will be a little quicker?

[graceful wing]

yup!

[fair mirage]

sweet

[sharp saddle]

Perfect!

[bronze dagger]

Nice. How did y'all optimize it?

[crisp orbit]

damn i thought quick saves were fast

[graceful wing]

david worked some of his magic

[fair mirage]

honestly speaking, compared to srs man fusion, they weren't whatsoever

[graceful wing]

they're blazing fast now

[fair mirage]

gud

[sharp saddle]

i just updated

Gonna go see for myself

[crisp orbit]

he figured out that having a toaster in your house makes your save time 10% slower

[sharp saddle]

I thought my game froze yesterday when i first saved

Instant

[pallid spoke]

well quick saving is definitely quick now

[sharp saddle]

Good job 😄

[pallid spoke]

the audio's still a little weird but not a big problem

[fair mirage]

yeah i thought i could hear compression artifacts in the music....

[pallid spoke]

oh not that, I mean when you quick save, the music stops, then speeds up for a split second

[crystal vessel]

I love the way it sounds when the music comes back

[fair mirage]

oh

[crystal vessel]

It's like you're coming out of water

[fair mirage]

well i was hearing compression artifacts and it was bugging me

usually only when the action music for the level starts

[elder scaffold]

anyone know where I can find DUSKS logo on black. like a presskit picture of the logo

i wanna do something with it

[shut mesa]

avain just posted it

[crystal vessel]

Did you look at the picture put in the ep1 discussion

[graceful wing]

check ep1 discussions

[elder scaffold]

i was just there

asking for it lol

ill look i guess

[shut mesa]

..

[crystal vessel]

bruh

[graceful wing]

i just gave ya what you asked for there heh

[elder scaffold]

OH

[shut mesa]

[crystal vessel]

my dude lol

[elder scaffold]

ty! sorry i moved here cause i thought it was improper to ask for it in that chat

my bad

[graceful wing]

nah all good

[crystal vessel]

👌 u gud

[compact linden]

When you're in cramped spaces you get to have the camera clip through the ceiling often

[warped saffron]

Woo. Just gotta say... I usually HATE tilt-strafing... But MAN this game just does everything right. FEELS GOOD.

[verbal solar]

this would be an awesome game to speedrun.

[graceful wing]

yup there'll be a bunch of nice tools for speedrunners in the game at launch (with some already being there)

[verbal solar]

the movement is just so damn smooth and fluid especially strafe jumping

[muted tusk]

Tab is super good

[drowsy glacier]

can you add a "press any button" text hint to load the main menu on launch?

I've been playing for a few days now so I'm used to it

But when I first launched the game I didn't realize it was loaded

I thought it was playing a cutscene

[warped saffron]

So will DUSK: Episode 1 turn into plain DUSK after release? You know, Steam library cleanliness and all that...

[crystal vessel]

DUSK is already in your library. I'm pretty sure it'll just delete DUSK: Episode 1 when the game comes out

[hexed roost]

^

Exactly

[graceful wing]

ep1 will get removed yeh

[teal niche]

Wait

Shouldn't you guys make EP1 as a demo?

OH, ALSO

Since EP1 got out

Does the pre-pre-pre alpha gets added to some sort of "Shareware" or "History" vault with the other releases?

[vague egret]

nah. everything about the older versions is so outdated that it doesnt make much sense to revisit again

[hexed roost]

EP1 is literally 1/3 of the game.

[teal niche]

i know

[hexed roost]

That's a little bit much for a demo, don't you think?

[teal niche]

Oh

Well, im not sure

Old DOOM games had one EP aswellw

DOOM 2016 also had this try for a time thing

[shut mesa]

DOOM also was long as tits

[hexed roost]

A VERY different time, lol. There will be a demo at somepoint.

[teal niche]

Anyways, the thing about the Pre-Pre-Pre alpha its just for archiving reasons

[hexed roost]

But I highly doubt it's going to be all of EP1, this is something we've discussed previously.

I know there's other people who already have it saved, needn't worry

[teal niche]

Because, i still have a folder with all DUSK public releases so far

[hexed roost]

At some point it's very possible you'll be seeing much more than the "public releases".

[graceful wing]

^^

[crystal vessel]

I could see the first two or three levels being made into a demo

[teal niche]

Internal builds? That sounds interesting

[crystal vessel]

But I don't necessarily know what is good and what isn't

[graceful wing]

david is pretty interested with sharing the dev process with people

[crystal vessel]

That's awesome

[teal niche]

That is something i think game devs should do

So it doesn't turn into a HL2-hunt

[hexed roost]

We were going through and playing SUPER old builds a few nights ago, very possible some of the old models might turn into MP characters down the road :]

[crystal vessel]

Sick

[teal niche]

Please allow the spiky meat guy be one

[jaunty meteor]

Are all of the humanoid enemies going to be MP models?

Cultists, scarecrows, etc.

[hexed roost]

guy

LASS

[graceful wing]

meatlASS

[hexed roost]

THIS IS WHAT THE IDEAL WOMAN LOOKS LIKE OKAY

[crystal vessel]

How fucking dare you Mat

[teal niche]

Its been some time i don't play this version

cut me some slack

My memory is failing me recently

[hexed roost]

It's very possible even the Goat will show up in MP

I mean, he was for a time, he was our first MP model lol

But he won't be at QuakeCon sadly, he's got some business to attend to.

[fair mirage]

womp wah

[crystal vessel]

Part of me hopes the goat model is like Kleer Kenny

[graceful wing]

some intruder is messing with his turf

[crystal vessel]

Just a humanoid goat

But I do remember you all saying it was the regular one so rip

[vague egret]

humanoid animals is getting into furry territory. that wont fly

[graceful wing]

we'd have to ban dusk at that point

[crystal vessel]

Damn you're right

[vague egret]

^

[crystal vessel]

May as well ban me too

For suggesting it

[vague egret]

dont tempt me

[graceful wing]

[fair mirage]

bet you won't

[vague egret]

shutup skeleton

[fair mirage]

this is slander and lies

DAAAAAVE

[modern trellis]

Wut r hippy doing...

[fossil oriole]

👀 💦

[crystal vessel]

That should be in gamedev

[vague egret]

i suggest posting your weapon models to #general-art. plenty of others are doing similar work

[jaunty meteor]

fucking furries. . . . .

[modern trellis]

I just did. I think I'll keep Dusk mod related stuff in there from now on.

[teal niche]

Wait

[shut mesa]

😩 👌🏻

[teal niche]

Is the SDK available already?

[vague egret]

no

[teal niche]

Ah

Tought so

I mean

[vague egret]

but you can do model work now with existing tools

[graceful wing]

that's at release / post release

[teal niche]

I went in doubt because there was a post about DAWN pinned a few days ago

[graceful wing]

that's still pinned

[vague egret]

if you're savy with quake mapping tools, you could even design maps today

[teal niche]

Oh, so that's why i heard that babble about JACK and Hammer

Mapping is unfortunately, not my thing

However, i would love to repurpose old HL2 Beta Maps for DUSK

Especially C17/AirEx and Cidatel ones

One thing i will do for certain is try to get the DOOM guns i helped port into GMod to DUSK. (Which is the Gauss and the SuperShotgun)

[hexed roost]

We're going to slowly be giving DAWN out to members of the public in the near future, a handful of people already have access to the console for testing purposes.

More information will be available as we get closer to launch.

[sharp saddle]

What is DAWN?

[vague egret]

the SDK

[sharp saddle]

Ah

[fair mirage]

i'ma make a mod duks, that replaces all the pain sounds with quacks from ducks

that should be ez, yeah

[quiet rose]

@fair mirage https://soundcloud.com/steeeeeev/duks-theme-final/s-K1wxQ

[fair mirage]

oh shit son is that the end boss theme for ep1

[quiet rose]

no its duks theme

[shut mesa]

BRVTAL SHIT

🤘🏻

[fair mirage]

oh

[quiet rose]

does not one hear the quacks smh......

[fair mirage]

nevermind i'm dumb

as usual

[shut mesa]

🤘🏻

[fair mirage]

well they kinda sound weird under the song, so uh

[quiet rose]

they are actually louder than the song smh..... .get better speakers/headphones smh....

[fair mirage]

i didn't say they were inaudible, i just thought they were weird instruments or techno-y sounds

:(

[quiet rose]

🦆

[shrewd anvil]

Is anyone having technical issues with the game?

[vague egret]

define issues

[shrewd anvil]

I mean issue*. The game completly frozes my PC

[quiet rose]

Specs?

[fair mirage]

dusk has ran pretty much flawlessly for me

haven't even really run into bugs

[shrewd anvil]

AMD FX-8350 4.0Ghz
Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
8GB RAM

My other games doesn't even frozes or anything

It's just only Dusk :/

[fair mirage]

weird

that should be fine

[graceful wing]

go restart steam / your pc if you haven't done so since you installed the game

and verify your cache

[shrewd anvil]

Hm

Didn't tried that

[jaunty meteor]

Regarding the Oct. 31st date, was looking at the player haters' guide and saw this

"The first pass of Episode 2 is nearly done. It will be iterated on and polished until it’s as ready as Episode 1. Then we’re on to Episode 3. Wheeeee… "

[hexed roost]

When did it freeze, while you were saving?

[jaunty meteor]

Is this a recent thing?

If EP3 isn't very far along in development, wouldn't Oct. 31 be a bit of an unrealistic date

[shrewd anvil]

No @hexed roost, after completing the first stage and about 20-30secs from the second level

[jade root]

Oct. 31 is still semi-placeholder

we'ed LIKE it done by oct 31st

but it isnt a do or die deadline

[hexed roost]

You under-estimate the power of David.

Also @shrewd anvil make sure all your drivers are up to date

[jaunty meteor]

I have faith in him delivering a good product, he can take until Oct. 31 2018 if he wants :p

[shrewd anvil]

The last driver I updated (today) was my graphic card.

[hexed roost]

I updated today as well and haven't had an issues, does this happen consistantly?

Like does your game crash EVERY time you load this level?

[shrewd anvil]

Well, I tried two times play this game

One time in the morning, and 10 mins ago

[vague egret]

at what point does it crash? in menu or in the middle of the game?

[shrewd anvil]

Middle of the game

I was like pew pew pew pew die and kill the intruder raaaaar and my PC absolutely frozes

[graceful wing]

it's possible steam messed up updating the game. try to verify cache as i mentioned above. if that doesn't work then a full reinstall might be necessary

if the issue's still there after this it's probably a hardware related issue

[shrewd anvil]

Ok, i'll try later

Funny, I'm playing Fortnite right now, and nothing happens

I'm just playing and watching the chat on the other monitor

[graceful wing]

yea your specs are way above what dusk needs

[mild ginkgo]

you are also the first instance of this

[graceful wing]

mhm

[shrewd anvil]

🤔

I'm verifying the files now...

[mild ginkgo]

good

let us know

we will try our best to help

[shrewd anvil]

😃

I'll contact you guys later...

[graceful wing]

sure thing

[shrewd anvil]

OH!

[mild ginkgo]

there we go!

[graceful wing]

that might be it

[shrewd anvil]

1.2KB?

Could it be?

[mild ginkgo]

unlikely

[graceful wing]

only one way to find out

[mild ginkgo]

but possible

[real cypress]

i uh drew this

[hexed roost]

Whoa that's REALLY good

[graceful wing]

daaaaamn

[hexed roost]

Tweet that at @DaveOshry

[gleaming berry]

HOW WE ALL DOING

wow thats fuckin sick!

[fair mirage]

WE DOIN THANGS

[gleaming berry]

Tweet it at @DuskDev and @lament sigilOshry pls

[graceful wing]

poor dave

[fair mirage]

[graceful wing]

[gleaming berry]

lol

FUCK IM

[fair mirage]

[gleaming berry]

I AM KIND HERE

[fair mirage]

[gleaming berry]

I CAN TYPE GUD

[gleaming grotto]

Who picks up the pieces after something like this?

[graceful wing]

yas

[gleaming berry]

hey @real cypress who am I crediting?

[serene needle]

I can cook minute rice in 58 seconds

[real cypress]

uhhhh

credit

uhhhh

[jaunty meteor]

This is probably a silly question, but headshots aren't a thing in Dusk right

Since they weren't a thing in Quake 1/build

[fair mirage]

don't think so

[worthy pond]

doesnt seem like they are

[crystal vessel]

They are not a thing

[hexed roost]

^

They aren't

[gleaming berry]

would be kinda cool

but against the principals of the game

[hexed roost]

Maybe for DUSK 2 when we have that sweet ass gore system

And heads can be blown apart

[jaunty meteor]

Oh I know, I wasn't asking for them :p

[shut mesa]

d-dusk 2? 👀

[hexed roost]

and DUSK 3: The Duskening

[crystal vessel]

D4SK

[hexed roost]

correct

[shut mesa]

DUSK 2: Electric DUSKaloo

[jaunty meteor]

"We're returning to our roots with DUSK (2017). You'll be able to experience the DUSK universe like you've never seen it before, in stunning HD, 4k resolution at thirty frames per second."

[fair mirage]

DUS4

fuck that doesn't work

god dammit

[crystal vessel]

DU5K

There you go

I made it perfect like me

[fair mirage]

yeah just fuckin

skip 2-4

[crystal vessel]

Who needs em?

[fair mirage]

straight to 5

it's fine

[crystal vessel]

Japanese releases that didn't make it to the US

[fair mirage]

right right

that makes sense

[stuck lantern]

DuskTales, where you raise morality as Scrooge McDusk 😛

[jaunty meteor]

Huh, it looks like most doors' open/close status aren't retained when loading a save

Most house doors will be closed on load, at least non-key ones

I tried loading on top of a door to see if I could get stuck in the geometry but I guess the game is a little too smart to let me do that :p

[real cypress]

from dusk till dawn

[warped saffron]

So we getting color options for blood right??? Gotta get my confetti on...

[real cypress]

big chainsaw mode

all chainsaws are bigger

[shut mesa]

hippie blood from serious sam

[stone thistle]

I would love to see one chainsaw guy having a really huge chainsaw like Leatherface in TCM3

[glossy coral]

dusk with the limited palette and +2 pixelation is prime aesthetic

also suggestion

have an option to change the color of the flashlight

[restive sail]

Dusk full release in September?? 👀👀

[hexed roost]

No

[restive sail]

groan but I neeeed more

[hexed roost]

You'll have it soon enough, don't worry

[restive sail]

Thank you. I act childish when I really want something xD

Episode one is spectacular btw

[shrewd anvil]

@hexed roost Didnt worked :(

Game froze again

[restive sail]

Soooo I looked on steam and saw the release date. My fault xD

[crystal vessel]

Discussion of ep1 should be in #345953464720949250 btw

[fair mirage]

that too

whoops

[velvet saffron]

my apologies

[fair mirage]

gonna remove that since you saw it

don't wanna spoil

[crystal vessel]

👌

[modern trellis]

DUCKS MODS IN #general-art U PLEBS

[gleaming berry]

DUKS

[fossil oriole]

🦆

[unique monolith]

Kind of duck hunt spinoff with duck cult?

[void shadow]

Every time i try to go up stairs, I get stopped and I have to hop over the stairs

[weak patio]

when duskworld releases

will saturday night dusk be a thing

[summer aurora]

MFW been playing dusk at 1024x768 and not realising it

Thought it was just part of the aesthetic

[sullen carbon]

Should be playing at 640x480 for the authentic experience

[mild ginkgo]

yes ofc

saturday night dusk will be a thing

[jaunty meteor]

I've been playing at the default resolution it was at when I first booted it up

4:3, aww ye

[warped saffron]

This game is so good holy crap.

[void shadow]

anyone been having the same problem, or...

[warped saffron]

My little heart can barely take it.

[mild ginkgo]

good

[gleaming berry]

CHUR

[crisp orbit]

CHUR DAVE

[void shadow]

ANYONE

[shut mesa]

CANT SAY I HAVE

[void shadow]

I WISH IT WASN'T HAPPENING

[indigo dock]

Oh. Oh boy. I had a metaphorical heart attack.

I saw DUSK in my Steam, and it was greyed out, and I was confused for a moment. And then I looked in my favorites and saw it was different from DUSK: Episode 1.

Don't do that to me...

[sullen carbon]

Yeah I was wondering about that, is the pre alpha disabled?

Mine is uninstalled now

[ancient epoch]

lol

I missing a damn secret on the Sawdust level, I cant find it anywhere

[winged otter]

completed Dusk second time on cero miedo difficulty with intruder mode on

daaaaamn this is so fucking good!

[ancient epoch]

did you find all the secrets as well?

[winged otter]

no,not really...but i want to play Dusk 3,4 and 5 time!

[ancient epoch]

intruder mode is you start with basic weapon every level right?

[crystal vessel]

Start with sickles

[ancient epoch]

when you pick up the sword it replaces the sickles, do you still start the next level with just sickles?

[crystal vessel]

Yes

[ancient epoch]

damn

[winged otter]

just sickles

[sullen carbon]

I still gotta do intruder mode

[crystal vessel]

And it doesn't replace sickles you just have to press 1 again

[ancient epoch]

sword is better anyways

[crystal vessel]

Intruder mode is the best way to play it in my opinion

[indigo dock]

What is Intruder mode?

I've never tried it.

[crystal vessel]

Start with only sickles

[ancient epoch]

What is everyones favourite weapon so far? mine is probably the crossbow

[crystal vessel]

SSG

[quiet rose]

Cigar

[ancient epoch]

lol^

[indigo dock]

Hell yeah.

[wicked field]

dual shotguns

[indigo dock]

I love that feature, good job.

[ancient epoch]

SOAP

OP AF

[indigo dock]

What about...cup>

[ancient epoch]

according to a Dev, Soap does 9000 damage

[muted tusk]

Hunting Rifles my favourite

[indigo dock]

SSG over here.

[winged otter]

dual shotguns with epic reloading sooo good

[thin sphinx]

i thought it was 10000000000000000000

[sullen carbon]

That's tough because the ssg is really growing on me, but either hunting rifle or crossbow

[crimson folio]

9000?

[ancient epoch]

yep

[crimson folio]

it literally does 10 million

not a joke

[thin sphinx]

does way more than that

[ancient epoch]

they must have changed it, used to be 9000

[quiet rose]

Its 10 million

[thin sphinx]

it one shots the fina lboss

[indigo dock]

If it doesn't do that, I will be mildly peeved.

[ancient epoch]

Soap OP plz nerf

[quiet rose]

It has always been 10 million

[indigo dock]

Is it because the enemies are smelly?

[crimson folio]

BEHOLD

[crystal vessel]

Ragnaros?

[ancient epoch]

Cultists dont like being clean

[crimson folio]

SOAP ON A STICK

[thin sphinx]

wait what if when you kill with the soap all the gibs are just buubbles

[indigo dock]

I mean, they're cooped up in farms and eat solid blood.

Probably...

[ancient epoch]

There should be an achievenment for killing everything with soap

[indigo dock]

Oof.

[thin sphinx]

yes

[crystal vessel]

pls no

[indigo dock]

Too hardcore.

[sullen carbon]

Good luck getting the rats

[indigo dock]

For some reason, when Ifirst encountered soap I thought I was going to eat it for like +10 morale or something...

[ancient epoch]

I cant stand the rats, so annoying

[thin sphinx]

M3 would be the place to do that

[winged otter]

Your most hated enemies? scarecrows with massive burst damage are fucking scary on cero miedo

[indigo dock]

I have no idea why...

o

[ancient epoch]

rats are the worst enemy

[sullen carbon]

Lady scarecrows, one misstep is painful

[thin sphinx]

SSG dispatches them if they are in a group

[ancient epoch]

Lady scarecrows = forkmaidens

[indigo dock]

Lady scarecrows = evil

[thin sphinx]

is there any where where all the official names for the enemys of dusk are yet?

[crystal vessel]

they = ez

[indigo dock]

Lady scarecrows != happy fun times...

(It's a programming joke. Laugh)

[ancient epoch]

is the Duke Brothers a play on names with the former leader of the clan?

irl

[indigo dock]

I'd assume so.

[indigo dock]

?

[sullen carbon]

Tfw forkmaiden

[ancient epoch]

All I know is the Devs call them Forkmaidens (for some reason)

[indigo dock]

I mean, why not? It fits.

[ancient epoch]

fork?

[indigo dock]

What they should be called is cannon fodder.

[wanton steppe]

thx for the key pops @gleaming berry

[indigo dock]

Pitchfork.

[ancient epoch]

they have piutchforks?

[indigo dock]

They shoot what looks to be glowing pitchforks.

[sullen carbon]

I dunno everything else is pretty easy to one/two shot with ssg

[indigo dock]

Yeah.

[ancient epoch]

never noticed

[sullen carbon]

And rats can be a pain but that's what pistols/machine gun are for

[indigo dock]

I love SSGs in pretty much any game.

Yep.

[ancient epoch]

the only reason I collect duel handgun ammo is for rats

[thin sphinx]

SSG works great for that one encounter with rats

[indigo dock]

I just use everything all willy-nilly because if I'm given something, I want to use it.

[ancient epoch]

Rivet gun works well too

[indigo dock]

I'll get ammo eventually.

Heh...

When I first found it, by the sword room, I made a huge mistake.

[ancient epoch]

If Rachels secret hidey hole is in the first episode I wonder if Daves is in the next 2 ep

[indigo dock]

I had 100HP so I was playing around with the charged sword and I accidentally picked up the Rivet gun and shot 3 rounds at the wall in front of me before I even knew what was going on.

[ancient epoch]

lol

[indigo dock]

I went down to 25HP...

In less than 3 seconds...

[ancient epoch]

I love how you can get the SSG on the first level, didnt realise till my 3rd playthrough

[indigo dock]

I couldn't find it.

I mean, not until like level 4...

Or something.

[thin sphinx]

foudn 6/6 on my first playthough of M!

also

[indigo dock]

Nice.

[warped saffron]

Is it one endless map right now? Or do the others unlock after a certain score?

[ancient epoch]

When you leave the room you spawn in on the first level up the stairs, head forward out of the gated area and you cdan see it through bars

[thin sphinx]

who knows about the gas can interaction the first room?

[indigo dock]

Ah.

Yep.

Almost killed myself.

[crystal vessel]

One endless map currently

[indigo dock]

I've almost killed myself at least 10 times.

[warped saffron]

Word. Just checkingggggg

[crystal vessel]

The other two are associated with the other two episodes

[sullen carbon]

Uh oh, I see some ep1 spoilers in #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk

[ancient epoch]

luckily there are 2 ways to access that secret location if you waste the gas can on enemies

[crystal vessel]

Yeah keep ep1 discussion in #345953464720949250

[indigo dock]

You can [REDACTED INFORMATION]

[ancient epoch]

where is Dusk EP 1? I dont see it

[sullen carbon]

Basic mechanics are fair game here though, right?

[thin sphinx]

wrong click

[crystal vessel]

#role-spam

[indigo dock]

But my favorite part is when [REDACTED INFORMATION] and it's just like woah bro...

[thin sphinx]

@cunning crest look at anouncements

[ancient epoch]

awe thanks

[shut mesa]

Did anyone here find the [REDACTED] in [REDACTED] around [REDACTED] ?

was nuts

[indigo dock]

Mmm...I think so. Do you mean [REDACTED] or the one near [REDACTED]?

[shut mesa]

yea the one near [REDACTED]

[indigo dock]

Ah.

Yeah.

It's by the [REDACTED].

I loved that part...

[ancient epoch]

dont you guys love the [REDACTED] boss?

[shut mesa]

Hope there's more [REDACTED] to be found in EP2 and 3

[indigo dock]

Yeah.

Me too.

[glossy coral]

what about the [REDACTED] in the first level?

[indigo dock]

Oh hell yeah!

With the [REDACTED]?

Awesome stuff.

[proper lotus]

w-wow

thanks guys

[crystal vessel]

what

[shut mesa]

spoiled all the [REDACTED] related stuff

sorry bruv

[gleaming grotto]

I think dusk should have started with a fully modeled David Szymanski as himself giving the player a tutorial in a digitized studio

[mild ginkgo]

fuck you david cage

[shut mesa]

all i want is Dave's head as the secret boss

like romero in DOOM

[gleaming grotto]

It's starts and David's like

"Hi, my name is David Szymanski"

[twilit cradle]

y tho

[gleaming grotto]

Fuckinnnnnn

y not

[twilit cradle]

do you really need tutorial for a game when you run around and shoot stuff

[crimson folio]

"fuckin why not?"

excellent counterpoint

[sullen carbon]

David Szymanski's about to make you his bitch

[gleaming grotto]

So David's all like "I'd like you to meet my friend Chur, you'll be controlling him for the duration of this tutorial"

[gleaming berry]

STRAFE actually had a really sweet tutorial

[crimson folio]

stop

[gleaming berry]

with the girl

and the FMV

I was into it

[crimson folio]

dave's only saying that because he produced those

[sullen carbon]

Goty

[twilit cradle]

game advertized as "retro FPS inspired by the 90's legends."

[crimson folio]

according to imdb

[twilit cradle]

have a tutorial at start

[gleaming grotto]

And then David forces you to dodge cars trying to hit you

[gleaming berry]

10 minute forced tutorial

oh I have an IMDB?

[twilit cradle]

press W to move forward

[crimson folio]

yeah you do

[gleaming berry]

whaaat

[crimson folio]

you didn't know?

[gleaming berry]

oh hey

Strafe and Kung Fury

nice.

Thanks Kickstarter

I wonder why Strafe is on IMDB

[crimson folio]

does every Kung fury producer have a imdb credit?

[gleaming berry]

probably?

[stone thistle]

tutorials are overrated. play the game, learn stuff.

[crimson folio]

LOL

[gleaming berry]

we actually added a PRESS E TO USE/LIFT

[gleaming grotto]

The FMV in the beginning makes it a "cinematic experience"

[gleaming berry]

like yesterday

becaue we watchged people play DUSKL

[gleaming grotto]

That's why

[gleaming berry]

and nobody knew how to pick things up

[crystal vessel]

Wow an Indigo Prophecy joke led to this

[twilit cradle]

oh god

that's sad actually

[crimson folio]

wow, NEW BLOODS SELLOUT

[gleaming grotto]

I know

[crimson folio]

boooooooooo

[gleaming grotto]

I'm really upset my gr8 joke got derailed

[crimson folio]

refunded dusk and burnt the blood money

[shut mesa]

[gleaming berry]

[gleaming grotto]

I like how nobody gives a shit anymore

About anything

[shut mesa]

that's an awfully nihilistic approach

[gleaming grotto]

That's not what I meant and you know it

[shut mesa]

i actually have no idea what you're talking about

i just say things dont mind me

[crimson folio]

I'm good at Dave oshry trivia

thanks gpogle!

[gleaming grotto]

I'm talkin about how we're just posting Heinz Baked Beans images in dusk chat

[jaunty meteor]

Little nitpick, but can onscreen tutorial be disabled in the options

"Press F for Flashlight" etc

[crimson folio]

relevant

[shut mesa]

you haven't found the Heinz Baked Beans in [REDCATED] ?

[crimson folio]

the who is always relevant

[jaunty meteor]

I'd check but I just got out of the house, d'oh

[gleaming grotto]

I've only beaten the first level so far

And I've had access for over 24 hours 🙃

[sullen carbon]

RIP PRE ALPHA

It is no longer available

F

[mild ginkgo]

ITS STILL ON YOUR HARD DRIVE DORK

[sullen carbon]

I mean probably

But that's like

Work, man

[mild ginkgo]

;P

[muted tusk]

Theres a dusk stream with weeb music playing

[crimson folio]

EW

BANime

[ancient epoch]

I wonder why they dont just leave the pre alpha up, its not hurting anything

[mild ginkgo]

it kind of does

its no longer representative of the game in any way

absolutely everything changed

even player movement changed

[ancient epoch]

I guess

[mild ginkgo]

also did everyone try quicksaving now?

[ancient epoch]

I missed the pre alpha, only saw it on youtube

[mild ginkgo]

did you notice how fucking FAST it is?

[crimson folio]

it freezes my game for a couple seconds

idk

[mild ginkgo]

no

[ancient epoch]

quicksaving works why?

[mild ginkgo]

frodo

try again

we patched it

its instant now

[crimson folio]

oh really?

nice

[shut mesa]

saving is a lot better now

[real cypress]

i hurt myself today

[ancient epoch]

ill try right now

[shut mesa]

it used to freeze my game up to 10 seconds lol

[winged otter]

@mild ginkgo speaking of quicksaving...it is really fast now,thank You and Dusk team for fixing it

[mild ginkgo]

david is a great man

[real cypress]

i want to refund dusk because i literally so tight on cash i dont have 20 dolalrs to spend lol

but its so cool

[mild ginkgo]

well, thats up to you man

we cant stop you from doing what youre gonna do

[real cypress]

ILL REFUND IT I SWEAR

ill do it!

[winged otter]

Dusk>>>all,why refund? 😦

[mild ginkgo]

i just said you gotta do what you gotta do man

[real cypress]

i wont

i really like it

im gonna go play it now

[mild ginkgo]

lol

[ancient epoch]

Quicksaving is instant for me now

[mild ginkgo]

yep

we probably shouldve made a bigger announcement

[real cypress]

they added qsing?

huh

huh

huh

HUH

[ancient epoch]

F6

[crystal vessel]

It's had quicksaving

[real cypress]

i never saved anyways

but i played on normal and that shit is easy

HUH

[ancient epoch]

neither did I, I like the punishment of dying

makes me play better

[acoustic oriole]

hotdamn, waking up to see patch notes with exactly what I was hoping for. fixed saving times. You're a legend, guys. I'm used to waiting between 2 weeks and forever for issues like this to be looked at, let alone fixed.

[mild ginkgo]

well, it was the biggest complaint you guys had

you guys arent really having very many complaints

[ancient epoch]

haha waking up... yeah... me too...

[mild ginkgo]

so that made it pretty simple

[ancient epoch]

hmm complaints... chaainsaw guys could be a bit taller 😉

[acoustic oriole]

I noticed a lot of people saying it only took them a second to save, but they had SSDs

[winged otter]

people arent compaining about Dusk because....game is flawless,really

[ancient epoch]

jk

[acoustic oriole]

anyway, no matter, it's perfectly fine now

there's nothing left for me to complain about

[ancient epoch]

I have no complaints, Dusk takes the best things from Blood (atmosphere) and Quake (control and movement), what is not to like

and you can shoot neon dicks from a crossbow

[mild ginkgo]

ok so about that

thats actually the crossbow geometry

the bolt is not shaped like that

look closely

[acoustic oriole]

I'll still miss the pre-alpha level and endless arena though. Even though they were just for testing.

[ancient epoch]

lol

[shut mesa]

Nothing wrong with progressive games

nothing wrong with penetrating flannel wearing bo-

ok

[ancient epoch]

Forkmaidens are bae

[mild ginkgo]

@atomic egret did i ever show you what my record speedrun filename was?

[versed slate]

Has the E1 Endless theme been uploaded somewhere>

[shut mesa]

[mild ginkgo]

there wont be any posting of music downloads for dusk here, youll have to look elsewhere

youre welcome to check out the officially released OST videos on youtube though!

[quiet rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOAbv_Ey6eY

This is the only officially released Endless theme

@versed slate

[versed slate]

Well i know that, just wondering if Andrew uploaded this new endless theme to his youtube, which im not finding

its all good tho

[frosty anchor]

there was a kindofabug, where the game would leap ahead by the time elapsed while quicksaving, not really a bug, more like, uncapped delta-tick or whatever / not pausing while saving

that's about the most criticism I can muster for this game right now, it's just really really good

[mild ginkgo]

uh

quicksaves are instant now

sooo uh

[quiet rose]

uhh

[mild ginkgo]

theres goes that

[frosty anchor]

probably fixed

I should quit, and restart, and see these new instant saves

😃

[mild ginkgo]

you may already have the patch

how long are saves taking?

[frosty anchor]

like, maybe 500-1000ms or so?

[quiet rose]

So near instant?

[frosty anchor]

more or less

that's on HDD, so probably would be instant if I had installed to SSD

[mild ginkgo]

yeah if its like half a second

you're probably fine

[shut mesa]

i have it on SSD

[frosty anchor]

it was enough to throw me out of the water when swimming upwards, but that was like yesterday lol

[shut mesa]

it froze for 10 sec pre-patch

[mild ginkgo]

yeah it got patched maybe 5 hours ago

[shut mesa]

now its basically instant

[ancient epoch]

there was zero delay for me, just the message on the corner saying I saved

[real cypress]

quicksaves are quick

[shut mesa]

hard saves are hard

[atomic egret]

Oh did quick saves get patched?

[mild ginkgo]

yes

theyre very very fast now

[atomic egret]

Naicu

[mild ginkgo]

not that quicksaving is necessary in dusk at all

[weak patio]

the Q U I C C save

[atomic egret]

They were already fast for me but still cool for everyone else

[shut mesa]

yee

[mild ginkgo]

basically the game would open the save file up to hundreds of times per save

[shut mesa]

its on SSD for me and it froze really bad whenever i saved

[mild ginkgo]

instead of once

[shut mesa]

jeez

[mild ginkgo]

save files in dusk are actually hilarious

boss health?

[ancient epoch]

lol

[twilit cradle]

nice one

[real cypress]

heh

[ancient epoch]

my pet... you will pay for that

[real cypress]

; (

I don't know who he is but I wanna kill him

[ancient epoch]

I don't like killing him, I just skip him

[mild ginkgo]

the variable if an enemy has ben aggrod?

[ancient epoch]

woke af

[real cypress]

what does the dusk protag look like

[ancient epoch]

Dave

idk

[mild ginkgo]

how drunk were you when you saved?

[ancient epoch]

probably better they went the silent approach, Caleb from Blood can get pretty annoying after a while

[mild ginkgo]

were you actually drunk?

[shut mesa]

[ancient epoch]

lord pepe

[mild ginkgo]

secret spoiler from the save files in #345953464720949250

[sullen carbon]

Should move that to #345953464720949250

[burnt salmon]

But i dont see #345953464720949250 .-.

[sullen carbon]

If you go to #info there's instructions, gotta go to #role-spam and type !killtheintruder for it to show up if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, they wanna make sure #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk is spoiler free

[burnt salmon]

Thx!

[sullen carbon]

Yep :)

[hollow ivy]

!kill the intruder (include spaces) => .iam dusk1 (include spaces)

[ancient epoch]

!kill the intruder (include spaces)

i left a message for you there

regarding the secret

[gleaming berry]

HOW EVERYONE DOIN

NO MANS SKY IS NICE

[shut mesa]

devouring a chicken w/ some conditioner on the side

couldnt be better

[jade root]

you know what else is nice

darkwood

everyone refund dusk and get darkwood

[shut mesa]

done and done

[ancient epoch]

been playing a lot of Hollow Knight recently

[shut mesa]

also took a shower

had to avoid the soap however

i've become more aware of the dangers of hygiene products

thanks DUSK

[ancient epoch]

never turn your back on soap

[crimson folio]

soap is very evil

all soap is acidic

[ancient epoch]

then again, @shut mesa must be a cultist to be afraid of soap

[shut mesa]

👀

revs up chainsaw nobody has to know

[ancient epoch]

dont make me shoot you with a neon dick slinger

[crimson folio]

not feeling very well

[indigo dock]

Turns out the soap thing is legit.

I am not disapointed.

It uh, it worked amazingly.

[mild ginkgo]

10 million damage dude.

[indigo dock]

I noticed.

It was beautiful.

Also, I went through and found all the secrets for E1M1 and E1M2

It was amazing! There was a [REDACTED] inside of the [REDACTED]! But then...in the very same [REDACTED] there were several [REDACTED].

[crimson folio]

yeah i know right

im pretty sure you're talking about that REDACTED within REDACTED in E1M[REDACTED]

how does this game's sensitivity relate to other games?

like source games for example

[pure storm]

in e1m1, is there any way to manipulate the chainsaw guy up the stairs from the basement or is him opening the door rng

cause sometimes he runs and blocks me and sometimes he opens the door

[stone thistle]

hey dog 4:29:25 right

[pure storm]

yeee

igt tho not rta

cause i fucked up real bad on e1m8 and had to die to reset ;_;

[stone thistle]

was still nice to watch

[pure storm]

👌 👌 👌

[stone thistle]

you know what's the current record?

[pure storm]

7:00.52 is the only other oob time on the spreadsheet

[stone thistle]

that's a huge time difference

[crystal vessel]

For future reference episode 1 talk should be kept in #345953464720949250 . If you don't have access to it go to #role-spam and type in !kill the intruder

Spaces included

[pure storm]

ahh, sorry. thanks though!

[crystal vessel]

No worries

[foggy tapir]

Whats the current record for E1M3? 1:54 is my fastest but not sure how fast you could actually beat it. I think its possible for 1:45 but no mess ups AT ALL

[violet kelp]

mine

with oob

[foggy tapir]

what da fugg @violet kelp

[violet kelp]

rivet boosting over the wall behind the church, then using crossbow to get the rest of the way to level exit

[graceful wing]

#345953464720949250

[tall knot]

Ok, I finally caved and got DUSK, I'm eager to see just what awaits me.

[waxen solar]

where is #345953464720949250? I dont see it

[toxic wadi]

you will like it dude

[shut mesa]

go to role spam

[graceful wing]

read the rules or announcements channel. tl:dr type !kill the intruder in #role-spam

[toxic wadi]

role spam seems to be gone

[waxen solar]

ah ok thanks.. sry for being noob 🍮

[shut mesa]

role spam disappears once u get the role

[toxic wadi]

oh ok

[potent totem]

You know what I really want in DUSK? Add an option for the music to always play the action variant

would sound like classic doom

also dusk doesnt use wwise which is godsend amazing for modders

[crimson folio]

yes

[potent totem]

if you agree with my suggestion dont react with 👀

actually, there should be a #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk-suggestions text channel

[vague egret]

bad plan. suggestions should go to the forum

[shut mesa]

i'm sure that wont get annoying

yea

[jade root]

It's called the Steam Forums

[potent totem]

ok ok jeez

[shut mesa]

get FUCKED

[jade root]

And don't reaction beg

Plz

[fair mirage]

[atomic egret]

I can send you my steam backup of prepreprealpha if you need it

[fair mirage]

naw i still have mine

[stuck crypt]

Uuuh

[jade root]

Hm?

[shut mesa]

hhhuh

[jade root]

What do you mean? Just press F6 and quicksave

[stuck crypt]

o

thnx

http://i.imgur.com/FQJvwLq.png

I tried doing stuff but it didnt work

[vague egret]

gotta type a name

[stuck crypt]

Got it

click on the box on the right?

[atomic egret]

ye

I just called mine "1" because coming up with creative witty names is hard

[stuck crypt]

gg

I love how this game

when you pick up something then throw it

it's like insta kill

it's like a forgotten artifact that bridges Quake, HL1, and HL2 together

[slate edge]

Dusk sure is getting constant updates, which is always nice to see

[stuck crypt]

Do you think you guys can send a key to Russianbadger

[dreamy snow]

anyone know what these patches for DUSK are?

[atomic egret]

just bug fixes and whatnot

nothing new

[dreamy snow]

that's understandable, fair enough

[crimson folio]

proper sensitivity settings wen

[unique monolith]

Sup guys?

[violet sentinel]

sup

[urban sparrow]

Good morning

Actually "happy dawn"

[shut mesa]

wheeze

[urban sparrow]

Haha

[rain orbit]

Hello

[violet sentinel]

Here it's gonna be dusk, Soon ™

I'm pretty curious, what do all of you see as Dusk's weakest features, sections, designdecisions, etc.?

[rain orbit]

I haven't put enough Hours in yet I have only done one playthrough of EP1 I played alot of the Endless mode now

[jade root]

Difficulty

We are still tweaking it

But it's still the weakest aspect of the game imo

[shut mesa]

the 2nd hardest difficulty seems a bit easy to be fair

[jade root]

Mhm

[shut mesa]

seeing as the next step up is instadeath

[jade root]

Like I said, we are still tweaking it

[crimson folio]

that's nice to hear

[violet sentinel]

cero miedo atm is nice for a first playtrough, but I wouldn't mind something between duskmare and cero miedo

[torpid beacon]

For me the weakest point in Dusk is the soap

It doesnt do enough damage

[formal turret]

is there no auto saving

would be nice if it saved at the start of each level

[violet sentinel]

They could implement that, but it is not really necassary.

We can just go to level select to do the level again

[formal turret]

will all episodes be unlocked from the start or do you have to play through them all in order first

[rain orbit]

I wanted to ask as well not sure if its been discussed but how do I delete a save I cant seem to do it in-game

[prisma ivy]

I think that all you can do right now is save over it.

[rain orbit]

Alright thanks anyway

[mild ginkgo]

You can go delete the save file in the folder

[violet sentinel]

^

[rain orbit]

Oh simple as that lol sorry

[crimson folio]

Doesn't dusk have a survival/arena mode? Pre-Purchasing my copy now, but I want that long-term Dusk fix to keep me entertained

[rain orbit]

it does

[quiet rose]

It does. It has 1 leve atm

[rain orbit]

its called Endless in the menu

[crimson folio]

Good to hear. Hopefully that'll hold me off until the full release!

[rain orbit]

I see the release date change when I Pre-Purchased my copy it said 26th September no biggie still enjoy it

[graceful wing]

that date was an old placeholder value from like last year

[rain orbit]

Well its going to be worth the wait I am glad I can get my fix till then

[graceful wing]

👍

[jade root]

Reminder

[rain orbit]

ill add it to my wishlist if it goes on GoG so I can join the cool club as I already have a copy on Steam 😄

[spiral halo]

I beat the first episode. Couldn't find the secret level though. Or most of the secrets for that matter lol

[jade root]

All the more reason to PLAY AGAIN

[spiral halo]

OH YOU FUCKING KNOW IT

Might look up a video on how to get to the secret level though. I have never been good at finding them lol

[unique monolith]

What if I already preordered?

[spiral halo]

Besides the pac man one in wolf 3d.

[unique monolith]

Also, got mah beer

[crimson folio]

how often does a game come out before the arbitrary day it says it will

[spiral halo]

Awesome my dood

[crimson folio]

let's talk about that, because it's cool as shit

[unique monolith]

So whatabout MP? When QuaCon starts?

[jade root]

MP will be playable at Qcon

But we won't be pushing a public mp build for quite awhile

[rain orbit]

iv never been to a Qcon before

[unique monolith]

Im living on other continent so only can watch

[rain orbit]

same here I am too far away

[unique monolith]

for indie game strange see AAA stuff dropping in

[jade root]

You'll be there in spirit

[prisma ivy]

same :(

Are you going to be there Jab?

[jade root]

Nah

I might be next year

Idk

[rain orbit]

I did catch the Origin PC stream yesterday though there was some good spirits

[prisma ivy]

Yeah I'd need to plan way ahead.

Really expensive and I have school

[deft salmon]

that moment when you tell your young cousin to check out dusk

[thin sphinx]

if you want i have a video on how to get to the secret level @spiral halo sun

[twilit cradle]

that grafik is the best thing about it

[deft salmon]

i know!

This kid man

this kid

[twilit cradle]

i want this game sooo bad

that fucking pixelize filter is great

i wish i didnt sell my crt

[slate edge]

pre-order it for around 20 bucks and you get to play episode 1 straight away.

[jaunty scroll]

not sure if reported, but i don't think crosshair size is working in the menu

[vague egret]

report it in the forums

[jaunty scroll]

aight

[vague egret]

👍

[violet sentinel]

Well, Duskmare was a blast

It really makes you get gud

[crimson folio]

sanderman how young is your cousin

he's prob 12 jk

its safe to say my /r/pcgaming post is doing wayyy better than /r/gaming

18 upvotes on pcgaming

5 on gaming

good 'ol reddit

thats where you're wrong kiddo

[fossil oriole]

there's so many games that do that and sell very well, shovel knight being one of the most successful ones

[crimson folio]

wat

[toxic wadi]

the majority of indie games have "outdated" art. like a ton of indie games use pixel art, but i dont really think graphical styles ever become just straight up outdated

dont know what redditman is on about

[fossil oriole]

same

[fair mirage]

well, i think it's the tendency to go for retro "look" without actually knowing what that entails

[vague egret]

reddit doesnt know what its talking about half the time or what it wants. but lets not get too far off topic here

[fair mirage]

the reason things looked like it did back then was because of limitations

[fossil oriole]

I wonder if there's a mockup of a Dusk physical box yet

[fair mirage]

dave's still getting the art taken care of i think

not quite done yet

tho he's posted a few wip's of it

[vague egret]

the big box is still in early planning. not even past the drawing board yet

[young vine]

what big box?

[fossil oriole]

soon

[young vine]

does it shot lazers?

[potent totem]

My friend bought DUSK and I think he refunded it

KILL THE INTRUDER

[young vine]

NONBELIEVER!

[winged otter]

use soap on him

[fossil oriole]

cleanse the heretic's soul

[young vine]

FEED HIM THO THE INTOXIGATOARRRR

[potent totem]

How dare he

[fossil oriole]

i cant believe he chose jalopy over dusk

[young vine]

cool stuff m8

[crimson folio]

thanks

i love how i don't have to make staircases and ramps

sup with this stuff getting deleted

[vague egret]

#general-art
