ewww hl2 survivor looks so wierd

but i kind of like the look of it

its like a cheesy arcade japanified hl2

as long as you're not dumb and take a few days to learn lua or squirrel

@prisma halo this man's trying to shittalk your mod kit

[crimson folio]

if i found hl2 survivor somewhere here in the uk

it'd be my new favourite arcade game

because its literally half life 2

[atomic egret]

tutorials every 2 seconds though

[crimson folio]

tru

[opal plover]

Also I just noticed that the crossbow bolts bounce off jump pads

[mild ginkgo]

Rivets do too

[opal plover]

Yeah all projectiles

[digital cape]

is it only me or takes too long to quick save in dusk?

[exotic mulch]

Does anyone know what the respawn time on weapons is? Curious to know whether weapon control is going to be a thing or not

[vague egret]

Quakecon build had weapons on roughly a 10 sec timer. None of that is final

[exotic mulch]

Many thanks

[opal plover]

I still have no goddamn idea how to manually save

[vague egret]

You gotta name the save something

[jaunty meteor]

Speaking of none-of-that-is-final, I'm curious what everyone thinks about the current game speed

Duskworld seemed WAY faster than most standard Quake matches, which are already really hecking fast

[opal plover]

Ok then, I thought I tried that but I guess I must have gotten something wrong

[graceful wing]

the weapons will likely get their own spawn timers depending on their strength

[jaunty meteor]

I'm all for big speed, but I was a little worried that the game was so fast that getting kills in open areas would be semi-unrealistic, and most action would be confined to areas where retaining speed is impractical (sharp corners, cramped buildings, etc)

[graceful wing]

a riveter spawning every 10 secs is too stronk

[vague egret]

Speed is something we're tuning. Earlier builds had no momentum build up. You went from 0 to lolwtf in a single hop. Now it takes a few hops to get up to speed

Maps also play a role in how fast you go. Wide open maps encourage sanic speeds while close quarters arenas naturally slow you down a little

[crimson folio]

what about the player dropping the last weapon they were equipped with?

that wasnt the sickles, cigar etc.

[vague egret]

Weapon drops aren't a thing yet

[jaunty meteor]

Should they be?

[crimson folio]

ye

it'd allow slower weapon spawns

[vague egret]

I like the idea of weapon drops. It would help against getting stuck in a death loop of not getting a good weapon before dying again.

[crimson folio]

it helps a lot in quake live

very humilliating when you kill a guy hogging the rail gun and you keep sniping him with it

taken from his own hands

[tame crystal]

Good motherfuckin HAND CANNON morning you bastards

[steel wind]

+1 for the idea of weapon drops

[prisma kestrel]

related preach-to-choir suggestion: for things like weapon drops and respawn timers, make these all server options

the players will eventually figure out what the best set of options is

reasonable defaults are always good ofc

[tame crystal]

Weapon drops = incentive to hunt?

Or avoid campers

[prisma kestrel]

from my ultra-git-gud-casul perspective, I did at times find myself wishing weapon drops were a thing :P

[hellyeah, killed the guy with the other shotgun... oh wait, i still only have a single]

[frozen heart]

Yeah that would be kinda helpful on fusilade

Since there's only the one single shotty

[tame crystal]

Ok real quick guys

A digital shoe of hands for medium to low sens

Show

@everyone

[frozen heart]

As in mouse sensitivity?

[tame crystal]

Yeah

[frozen heart]

That's pretty much what I use

[tame crystal]

Ok so what did you think of the spin jumping

[jade root]

yeah @ everyone is disabled

[tame crystal]

What if

IF

We had a bind to let us do a vertical 180

But only can be used when initiating a spin

Or a certain height

Cause I love that mechanic it's just hard for me to utilize

Because of low sens

Man I was really excited for that idea lol

[jade root]

whats your sensitivity at?

[tame crystal]

Hmmmm

A 10th of the bar

[jade root]

why tho

whats your mouse set to?

[tame crystal]

Aim control

5

Uhhh

6

[jade root]

damn dude

[tame crystal]

My hands shake

Tremors

Mild

[jade root]

ahhhh

gotcha

then thats completely understandable

[prisma halo]

could be pretty easy to add

I'll add it as a console command in the SDK version of the game, so you can use that once it's public

[frozen heart]

I run at like 800-1000 dpi and keep the slider under 25%

[tame crystal]

Yeah it's embarassing

I don't like to admit it

But I'm sure there are other players out there with a similar issue

[jade root]

my dpi is like 1250

[tame crystal]

400

[jade root]

ye 1250

[tame crystal]

^

I run 400

[crystal vessel]

Mine is at 800 when I play pvp stuff but otherwise it's at like 2000 or something

[gleaming grotto]

I got real shaky hands too

[tame crystal]

Do you guys know about window mouse 6?

[gleaming grotto]

Makes it difficult to aim a wii remote or draw digitally

[tame crystal]

The setting??

Apparently Windows will be at an offset unless you set your Windows mouse sens to 6

Which apparently does not skip?

It's hard to explain but I learned it from cypher

[frozen heart]

I've never heard of this before. I'll have to look into it.

[tame crystal]

Feels good

[rocky nacelle]

Some post QuakeCon DuskWorld feedback for anyone that cares about this sort of thing :)

[gleaming berry]

thanks @rocky nacelle

[rocky nacelle]

@gleaming berry <3 Don't worry I'll be ready to play more this weekend at PAX too :D

[steel wind]

Isn't hit confirm sound already a thing in duskworld or am I mistaken?

[rocky nacelle]

Hmm maybe I just couldn't hear it well over the con noise if it is? Haha

[upper crown]

Do we just get ep1 on prepurchase or do we get that survival mode thing as well that I've also seen?

[thin sphinx]

its endless

and yes

[upper crown]

Thats the one.

Alright wish me luck I'm buying it now.

[sick lintel]

best of luck and enjoy

[upper crown]

Played the first 3 levels and I gotta say it's pretty fun so far. Bit disappointed in the movement but that's all the bad things I can say about it.

[sick lintel]

What's wrong with the movement?

[upper crown]

Feels like painkiller movement having to hold W when bhopping (which I wasn't a big fan of, feels weird to control) and how I can't seem to slide straight after landing a jump/fall.

But it's only a minor thing.

The games fun overall.

[thin sphinx]

i found that in order to gain large amounts of speed ql like Strafe jumping is what you need to do

[upper crown]

Yeah but tapping a strafe key even in midair will instantly pull you that way with barely any accel, meaning strafe jumping feels like awkward diagonal strafe jumping. To me at least.

[radiant venture]

you have to be strafing + W when you land at least

so the best way is to do strafe + W all the time

[upper crown]

Yeah, but I just mean it feels weird doing that in a game that looks so similar to Q1 in artstyle, it's like a habit for me to just let go of W haha.

[radiant venture]

it works very very differently to Quake, and that's the point

David didn't want the movement to be just cookie cutter Quake

[frozen heart]

Yeah getting used to all the different strafing methods gets awkward

[upper crown]

Yeah I don't blame him, it's a different game.

Oh well, I'll try to get used to it.

That's a start. 👍🏿

wrong emoji

xd

[radiant venture]

I really like the idea of the movement, but my criticism of it is that it has a very low skill ceiling

you basically figure out what to do, and then you're basically an expert on it

it's actually very interesting how Quake's movement turned out

[upper crown]

I adore Q1's movement so much. Same with CPMA/Reflex too.

It's so smooth and yet so hard to master.

[radiant venture]

because it has a pretty high skill ceiling, while being actually pretty simple in principles, and it's completely unintended (vanilla Quake movement)

the movement in dusk works really differently

it's basically

holding W + A/D increases your speed EACH JUMP

and the speed is actually air control, like in Halo or something, but way more

and you stack that additional air control up to 4 times

[upper crown]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the info. 😃

[radiant venture]

and then it's capped

because you don't really need to move much faster

max speed in dusk is like 700 ups in Quake

insanely fast

650 - 700

[thorn trout]

Yeah I do want to try raising the skill ceiling without ruining how it feels now

[upper crown]

After playing a bit more I'm enjoying the movement a bit more now. Devs did a great job at making this game feel old haha. 😄

Playing in 4:3 with 2x pixelation for no reason other than the fact that I can.

[steel wind]

nice

I have an old 100lb CRT television in my closet that I'd love to play Dusk on sometime.

[radiant venture]

100lb?

[upper crown]

Haha that'd play pretty well.

[radiant venture]

like... pounds?

[upper crown]

Devs should add a CRT mode thing like OpenXCOM has.

Lemme see if I can get a pic.

it warps the corners into curves, and adds the led line overlay thing.

[steel wind]

@radiant venture yes pounds

TV's used to be heavy AF

[radiant venture]

oh a TV

[steel wind]

it's a mitsubishi TV

yeah I said television above 😂

[radiant venture]

I didn't read the television part

[steel wind]

not a prob

but yeah it's a monster

[radiant venture]

don't worry, I'm just a bit weird atm

[steel wind]

I'm still zonked out from QuakeCon

I think I suffered dehydration or something. My skin is all shitty and I have massive brain fog.

[radiant venture]

yeah the old mitsubishi CRT tvs were massive

I am brain fog right now

I thought you meant CRT monitors first, so I was like "wait your old monitor is heavier than my bass tube amp?"

[steel wind]

yeah I'd love to get an old beige monitor if I could find one in good condition

[radiant venture]

yeah, they're super responsive and good hz

[steel wind]

I have a 29" ultrawide display now but I'd be willing to trade 🤣

A 19" CRT would have the same amount of vertical screenspace as my 29" 21:9

crazy how that works

[radiant venture]

lol

21:9?

jeeeez

[steel wind]

ratios mess with my simple ape brain

[formal turret]

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW

im finally home

so i can actually play dusk on a real pc

[steel wind]

as opposed to on a tiger electronics handheld?

[formal turret]

as opposed to a pile of shit

yes

[frozen heart]

Get me Carmack's 1080p crt from when he made quake

[prisma kestrel]

side-thooughts on Skill Ceiling n' movement: I like how DUSK currently does it because it doesn't feel like you have to rely on quirks/exploits to compete

pro-level Quake movement is weird as fark

[frozen heart]

Wiggle your mouse and go fast

[prisma kestrel]

contrast something like Doom where player movement is surprisingly basic (though fast) and the skill aspects are primarily aiming and strategy

[frozen heart]

But yeah I've never got quake 1 movement down

Or gold source

[prisma kestrel]

Dusk seems to be Doomy in that aspect, which I like [/totally_not_biased]

[frozen heart]

That or my source Porta don't allow it

[prisma kestrel]

and having seen some of the QA folks play at QC, holy crap can the skill ceiling get high xP

[thorn trout]

My concern is 1) spedeunning longevity and 2) the fact that bunnyhopping skill makes the combat less interesting

[prisma kestrel]

not quite the same axis, but still yeah

[thorn trout]

In sp

Multi is its own thing and I think it's fine there

[prisma kestrel]

hopping in SP has its drawbacks though; it makes it harder to aim since you're going blindingly-fast, and it's way less omnipotent in tight spaces (have fun in Cutty Mine :P) -- i dunno, I jump around a lot in SP and it doesn't seem like I've broken the game

part of this though may be because I'm a big Painkiller fan, and PK's movement is all about hopping around like an idiot since you're slow AF otherwise, so it feels similar

[thorn trout]

It might be less of an issue than I think

[prisma kestrel]

heh, these things are always hard because there's really no "right" answer :P

[/random_twocents]

[thorn trout]

Yeah. Either way it's not a huge deal since dusk is still fun regardless. Bhopping has just made difficulty balancing a bit... well, difficult

[prisma kestrel]

difficulties are hard. :P

[thorn trout]

Indeed lol

[foggy wadi]

wat if being shot stopped you from jumping for like 1 micro pico nano second on higher difficulties

[steel wind]

My instinct is to always say no to hitstun or flinch in video games (because it's annoying)

[formal turret]

on higher difficulties sure

or optional

but no way for normal

[steel wind]

Do enemies fire more frequently in dusk higher difficulties?

[frozen heart]

Yes they are more aggressive

[steel wind]

Sweet. Haven't mucked around in episode 1 too much outside of enjoying the music and level design.

[dim pawn]

The bunnyhopping does make it too easy. The side slides however, are fusking perfect. I actually rarely bunny hop because it takes away from combat.

[frozen heart]

You should see me play then

[summer otter]

*his enjoyment of the combat

subjectivity my frend

[frozen heart]

Just bopping in circles around scarecrows and fork maidens

[steel wind]

Oh his enjoyment? You should see me play then. 🙃

[frozen heart]

Speaking of bopping around things

I wonder if slaughter is possible in dusk

Guess I know what I'm gonna make then

[dim pawn]

It's only worth watching if you ain't bhopping

:sunglasses:

[steel wind]

Them's fighting words.
proceeds to hop in circles

[summer otter]

Assault could be fun

[dim pawn]

Lmao

Idk I just think it makes it harder not to bhop (Which I love)

[steel wind]

They could always make a mode where you can only auto-hop as you leave ledges like in ocarina of time

Then sliding would be your only real evasion technique.

[dim pawn]

That's just about how I try to play

It's so freaking fun on duskmare

Sliding out the way of incoming projectiles with split second reaction time. Far more heart racing combat.

[steel wind]

We dark souls now boys

[dim pawn]

Also very satisfying when you survive the fights lol

Yep

Dusk Souls

[steel wind]

Devs make it happen.

Want it on my desk by 5.

[dim pawn]

[steel wind]

Tbh a dusk themed dark souls would be fucking sick.

Maybe more melee focused of course. Like guns would be a rarity.

[dim pawn]

Youd be an invisible player with floating weapons

[steel wind]

Of course acolytes would still shoot balls at you.

Yes, duskdude is Kevin Bacon from that invisible man movie after all

[dim pawn]

Sickk

Devs, add that to the official lore

[steel wind]

Confirmed canon from totallyrealnews.gov

All of Dusk's bosses have that baron of hell feel to them, where it feels like they could be normal enemies later on in the game

[vague egret]

Auto aim would do more harm than good in duskworld. Your accuracy would plummet vs someone with mediocre aiming skill

[west bolt]

does Dusk support 144hz?

I may be just really late to notice this but u can shoot the energy balls of the kkks back with melee

[jade root]

Every projectile can be deflected

Including bullets

Arent you the one who should know things like that? xD

[frozen heart]

probably

[sick lintel]

will dusk world have a ranking system? 🤔

[vague egret]

Probably not

Ranks or any sort of progression kinda goes against what we're aiming for

[sick lintel]

fair enough

the moddability will be more than enough anyway

servers could probably get something similar to HLstats if they wanted

[opal plover]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could fast fire the single shotgun like ash did at the end of army of darkness

[modern trellis]

That was a Winchester Model 1892 rifle.

[vague egret]

[modern trellis]

That reminds me. I need to make a soap gun

[crimson folio]

Dusk mobile gatcha game WHEN?

[steel wind]

weapon skins in quake champions do more harm than good for me TBH
I put a turquoise skin on my MG and now I think I spawn with an LG

but I have two suggestions for things not to do with Duskworld based on lessons learned from other MP games

1. Do not remove game modes late in the game's lifespan as a hamfisted attempt to corral a dwindling player base into the same servers (a la Titanfall 1)

2. Do not remove maps arbitrarily from the game via future updates (a la rainbow six siege)

Bonus round: If you do add premium cosmetics to Dusk down the line, do not sell them a la carte as DLC one day and then forcibly remove them from the digital storefront to be distributed piecemeal as part of a cynical loot box promotion the next. (a la PUBG)

[austere egret]

How about we don't make premium cometics and say we didn't

[steel wind]

Of course.

[austere egret]

If Dusk gets MicroTransactions, I riot

[steel wind]

But if you're going to offer premium cosmetics, don't do what they did with PUBG.

[austere egret]

^^^

[steel wind]

They could make a micro-transaction gun.

[frozen heart]

To be fair the maps that are disappearing from siege are the most hated maps so no loss there

I haven't met a single person that likes Yacht or Favelas

[steel wind]

Maybe like costs a fraction of a cent to fire it, but every shot has the opportunity to do something cool.

Like change the texture of the wall it hits or spawn friendly goats to assist you.

[austere egret]

Cool, but still, I hate it purely on princible

[steel wind]

Of course lol

The MT gun could exist without being a premium experience.

And just be a mod

But then we wouldn't have something to complain about

[austere egret]

IDEA, how about, when you use the Microtransaction gun, it drains morale, as your morale is repelished by picking up money and other items of value

[steel wind]

Nice. So it would only use in-game currency.

And the fact that it drains morale is also industry commentary.

I love it. 10/10 would bang.

[austere egret]

GENIUS

I like this idea, once I figure out how to code in C# and figure out to use Unity, I'm going to mod that in, along with the Soapbow

[steel wind]

I wish you luck in that endeavor! Soapbow sounds awesome.

Or hell just being able to carry soap in inventory/weapon slot and lob like a handgrenade

instead of having to hold out the soap at a ludicrously long theoretical arms length and eject it at high speed... 🤣

[gleaming grotto]

Speaking of soap

It would be nice if the hitbox for picking things up was a bit wider

[austere egret]

I secong this

*Second

Trying to pick up small items is a pain

[gleaming grotto]

Kinda kills the pace having to stop, train your crosshairs directly on the object, and then finally be able to pick it up

And another thing

The ability to bind crouching and sliding to different keys would be nice

[austere egret]

Also this

[steel wind]

yeah it's kinda nice in some games where you can pick up objects like crates and barrels just by walking adjacent to them and pressing a button. Crysis was good at this.

if you had slide bound to it's own key and you pressed it while standing still, would you just crouch?

[gleaming grotto]

I'd assume so

The separate binding would just be for when you want to crouch while moving

Although automatically going into a slide would be logical

[steel wind]

is there a time in dusk where you want to step into crouch and not slide?

[gleaming grotto]

To slow movement in precarious areas

In conjunction with walking if necessary

Just more movement options, y'know?

[steel wind]

oh of course

more options is usually my preference

[austere egret]

Where was the soap in creations again?

[fossil oriole]

Either way I can't wait to super shotgun a can of that fizzy sugar water.

[gleaming grotto]

I'm curious to know where you got the dorito head's eyes from

They're... haunting.

[steel wind]

they're the eyes of someone who survives purely on government subsidized corn...

JK the eyes are from this

[quiet rose]

Good job Shillbot

[foggy wadi]

[vague egret]

[foggy wadi]

[vague egret]

ep1 key holders will get the full game when its eventually released

[foggy wadi]

[quiet rose]

Hi

[woven orchid]

so i just purchased the game, yet the install option is missing and i can't find anything relating to the first level

or where to get it

what am i missing?

[quiet rose]

Search your library for Dusk Episode 1

[woven orchid]

oh...

shit

thanks

yeah, similar to how test servers work

i didnt think to look there, i just added dusk to my favorites and never looked back down

thank steev

+s

[quiet rose]

No problem

[jaunty meteor]

Have fun!

[hexed roost]

@mild ginkgo

[frozen heart]

I missed all the fun

[quiet rose]

rip

[mighty dagger]

This picture should pop up at least once every could of days for forever

[crimson folio]

just pin it

please

Any plans for a linux version of dusk? 🤔

iirc they've talked about it

[prisma kestrel]

i'm vaguely disappointed I left the "party" a bit before that picture was taken :P

but then me and another doom dude started working on a collab map in the byoc, so it's cool

[crimson folio]

fuck me

i should have gone

[prisma kestrel]

our lamentations are eternal

[crimson folio]

oh well

at least i got paid to shove trash around

[prisma kestrel]

you're an adult now!

[summer otter]

will dusk have surf maps lmk

[foggy wadi]

woke up at 2 am to say dusk should have surfing

[summer otter]

the page we are on is a similar one

[mild ginkgo]

@summer otter

🤔

[summer otter]

thank gosh

[jaunty meteor]

They'd need to remove slope jumping

Otherwise you'd just get people HUPHUPHUPing through the map

[summer otter]

lolll

[fossil oriole]

you can stand and climb on some extremely ridiculous slopes

[summer otter]

never give up

[fossil oriole]

never surrender

[jaunty meteor]

I bet you could jump up a 89 degree slope, dusk is ridiculous with it

[foggy wadi]

any slope pointing inwards is possible to jump up with no exceptions

or outwards

i cant rmemeber

lmao

[formal turret]

are there gonna be

steam backgrounds

for dusk

[hexed roost]

Yes

[formal turret]

nice

[crimson folio]

oh, nice

level 5 badge incoming

[formal turret]

triggers need to be fixed really

i keep revisiting areas or going to areas via secrets you're supposed to go later and heavy music starts playing when it shouldnt

or at the wrong time

[jade root]

what do you mean?

[jaunty meteor]

From personal observation, "heavy music" plays in areas when you're being ambushed by loads of monsters, and stops playing when all the monsters involved are dead or you leave the area

So if you reenter an area and start hearing that, it might be because one of the monsters is still alive somewhere

[prisma halo]

Yeah I think it basically checks if any monsters are within the radius, as well as the player

you can spawn enemies in there via the console (if you have access to it) and it'll play music too

[crimson folio]

i think it's player-centered

[jade root]

so not a bug

cool cool

[crimson folio]

i've had the big post-tunnel ambush in m2 follow me into the cornfields and the metal tune kept rolling

[prisma halo]

dunno then, I haven't analyzed that part of the code yet

[jaunty meteor]

It's really funny bhopping from the E1M2 red key back through the cornfields to the barn just to have a parade follow you

[jade root]

lol

i just shoot the crossbow through the wall, activate the secret level switch and gtfo

[foggy wadi]

nope its a bug

in the area in the level where theres scarecrows on airlifts (e1m8?) that area always has heavy metal music which isnt affected by the music slider

[jade root]

really? Hm

ill bring it up with david

[foggy wadi]

could have to do with me reloading

but im not sure

[formal turret]

i dont remember which map it is but

its the one at the end that has the big fight

with loads of enemies fighting each other

ill go to dusk ep1 discussion for this cus this is a secret spoiler

[foggy wadi]

i swear someones tweaking this bot to post 5 minutes earlier than the last time it posted each time

one day itll be flooding the chat and then dusk release date will be revealed at that moment

[graceful wing]

nah this is deliberate, the bot posts at off times so it's shilling reaches as many people as possible

[foggy wadi]

that's pretty smart actually

[jade root]

one of the few smart things avain has ever done

[graceful wing]

.setname Shillbot

[hollow ivy]

@graceful wing Bot's name changed to Shillbot

[gleaming grotto]

He set Churbot from stun to shill

[graceful wing]

anyways enuf off topic stuff

[fossil slate]

He is cool!

[frozen heart]

I now want to find reference points to hit key switches from across the map with the crossbow

[woven orchid]

so dusk is pretty fantastic

really recreates the feel of the old school shooter

[quiet rose]

Glad you enjoy it!

I think dusk's physics are great

churbot is playing Duskworld...so its separate game client?

[hexed roost]

No, it's a seperate launch option when you boot the game via Steam

[prisma kestrel]

churbot is currently shilling dusk to the world

[vague egret]

very similar to how COD handles mp clients

Churbot sure loves his DuskWorld 😉

[lament stone]

someone had a post earlier about a "crt" option to mimic scanlines and general low fidelity as a mod for dusk, anyone have any idea how to do that?

[crimson folio]

You could get a CRT for it

And have the full experience!

[lament stone]

1. useing a laptop 2. Bulky and kind of a pain to find 3. prefer not to live in a retro cyberpunk universe 24/7

[crimson folio]

I was just saying

I actually see a lot of CRTs wrapped tightly in plastic at the local dump. I could possibly grab one if I wanted to.

That's my local dump though.

But they're neatly stacked and wrapped in layers and layers of plastic

[frozen heart]

Get me one of those 1080p crts

[crimson folio]

They have those?

[lament stone]

would be kinda nice to get one of those early IBM's with the monochrome monitors

dusk pax meetup?

[crimson folio]

there was

man, honestly

i can totally see duskcon being a thing

[vague egret]

lol not for a long time

[ancient epoch]

I feel like Dusk is better as a section of Quakecon

[crimson folio]

not now

[vague egret]

duskcon would consist of maybe 20 or less dudes at a bar bullshitting

[crimson folio]

renting out a local hotel to host a shitty lan

but that's what's up

that's how it gets started though

[ancient epoch]

lan party in a basement with a dude hanging from a meathook and 3 guys with bags over their heads... good times will be had...

[vague egret]

i host a lan every month. just swing by okc every 3rd saturday

[crimson folio]

@vague egret i actually might

i live in SE kansas

so that's really managable

[vague egret]

👍

[ancient epoch]

I live in Canada so...

[crimson folio]

what's at the lan? quakeworld?

[ancient epoch]

Duckworld

and Club Penguin (rip)

[fossil slate]

Does duskworld have LAN?

Im sure it does

[ancient epoch]

probably

[frozen heart]

Yeah it was running off lan at qcon

Just direct connecting to the host

[crimson folio]

interesting

did the version of duskworld there have the console?

[fossil slate]

I will run a Duskworld server !!!!

Everybody welcome!!!!!

I f you beat me you get banned though! 😉

[crimson folio]

you should join my dusk clan

Sorry, wrong area. Please accept my apoligises. Plus been drinking

I beg for forgiveness

[hexed roost]

it did indeed have the console

[crimson folio]

haha

cool

anyone abuse it?

[hexed roost]

not really, some people opened it and were like

"uhhh"

i think one person managed to noclip

[crimson folio]

lol

[sick lintel]

type unbindall into console for free dusk keys

[foggy wadi]

thanks for the tip

[rigid frigate]

What engine is Dusk coded in?

[glossy coral]

unity i think

[jade root]

Unity

[rigid frigate]

i see

[crimson folio]

it's unity through and through

uses a .bsp style tool called probuilder

to give it that look

[rigid frigate]

😶

[jade root]

Dont like Unity, I take it?

[foggy wadi]

hating unity is a meme

[jade root]

^

Engine is fine, it's the games that aren't fine

[prisma kestrel]

a lot of folks these days are quick to slam Unity because it's possible for folks to grab a bunch of junk off the asset store and make a garbage shovelware title, but that kind of stuff existed back in the good ol' 90's too

check patch notes in episode one forum

[full glade]

Oh neat was that just now?

[thorn trout]

yup just set it live

if everything catches fire lmk. Heading off to bed :)

[full glade]

Awesome gonna go try it out

[gleaming grotto]

Alright it's all up to you, new mod

Watch for disaster and report back to Jefe

[quiet rose]

New mod?

[thorn trout]

oh and apparently some people have had difficulty switching on save/load? None of us were able to replicate it. If you have it happen please pm me exactly what steps led to it happening (if you can remember them).

[full glade]

Yup reset my saves aswell

[thorn trout]

oh shoot

damn it

[mild ginkgo]

r i p

[quiet rose]

Uh

[thorn trout]

I know what's wrong, hold on

accidently included a test scores file with the build

[hexed roost]

OH

yeah that'd do it

[thorn trout]

are you guys able to pull your previous file from cloud saves?

[hexed roost]

you might be able to

[mild ginkgo]

theres probably a way

but idk

[hexed roost]

that's provided they don't launch the game and close it

because it might sync that test file

[sharp zinc]

incentive to play through again lmao

[thorn trout]

oh so @here do NOT run Dusk yet. It will be fixed in just a second I hope

[quiet rose]

[gleaming grotto]

No update club 😎

good thing i finished it 20 minutes ago

i'm gonna deliberately disobey and do it anyway

chance you'll lose your progress if you do it

[hexed roost]

so unless you wanna play through dusk again

[broken osprey]

ah

[hexed roost]

WHICH I'M SURE YOU DO

[gleaming grotto]

That doesn't sound too bad

[flat ibex]

neat

[mild ginkgo]

they got picked up by New Blood a few months ago

[flat ibex]

what is "new blood"?

[mild ginkgo]

a video game publishing company

[flat ibex]

huh

til

[quiet rose]

[gleaming grotto]

Much like EA

[mild ginkgo]

yeah very similar to EA

basically 1:1

[sharp zinc]

new blood is the gamer illuminati and only the neckbeardiest can join

[flat ibex]

nice to see that dusk got a nice publisher behind its back

[gleaming grotto]

Yeah

I'm sure EA will do great things with the franchise

[sharp zinc]

dusk andromeda

[flat ibex]

wait, i don't understand

[quiet rose]

#bnnuy-and-the-jits

[flat ibex]

new blood is a division of EA?

[quiet rose]

No.

[sharp zinc]

you gotta be pullin our legs dude

[mild ginkgo]

no it is not

[gleaming grotto]

It's not

[mild ginkgo]

its an independant video game publisher

[flat ibex]

not a very sharp tool, sorry

[gleaming grotto]

I'm the official new blood comedian

[mild ginkgo]

so they fund small indie games

[gleaming grotto]

Hey guys how about that dusk

[hexed roost]

actually it's a division of DICE

[gleaming grotto]

What's the deal with dusk

[flat ibex]

figured, wasn't sure if you were joking or not

[mild ginkgo]

so that the developers can EAT while make their games

[sharp zinc]

more like deputy lmao hehe

[broken osprey]

can you add muno from yo gabba gabba to dusk as an ally or enemy

[gleaming grotto]

I'm this server's wild card

[quiet rose]

#meme-review for stuff like that

[broken osprey]

ah, right
that's fair

[thorn trout]

@here all right it's fixed. Safe to play Dusk now. Your progress MIGHT have been overwritten regardless. Sorry again, this was a dumb mistake on my part and it won't happen again.

[broken osprey]

inb4 people speed through it with idkfa

[muted tusk]

what happened?

[broken osprey]

save error i think

[thorn trout]

there's a completed score file if anyone wants it

just unzip and put that in your config folder, overwriting what's already there

that will give you all the levels back

[muted tusk]

thanks for being such a cool dev

[thorn trout]

or you can just play through them again, which thankfully doesn't take very long

[bronze field]

wait

what

[muted tusk]

fixing stuff I aint even know was broke

[thorn trout]

This will not be a regular occurance.

it was just me including a test scores file with the steam build

which overwrote whatever scores file you already had

[gleaming grotto]

Watch as the next update automatically deletes system32

[muted tusk]

ohhhh

[elder scaffold]

this actually helps me cause for some reason the timer resets when you save. so some levels were listed as being completed in 2 minutes cause i saved and loaded right before a boss fight

when they actually took me 10 mins

[thorn trout]

@elder scaffold that bug was fixed recently, but yeah... this will let you get proper times :)

if at any point you want to reset your scores btw you can just delete the scores file

[elder scaffold]

\o/ woo thanks Dave!

[thorn trout]

but that also deletes whatever levels you've "unlocked" on the game map

[tacit holly]

im getting a content file locked notification when i try to launch

@thorn trout

[thorn trout]

say what?

[jaunty meteor]

Not on my end, did you try verifying your install?

[hexed roost]

Try restarting Steam as well

You can also try running Steam as admin

[tacit holly]

i reinstalled it twice, it pauses the download

restarting steam now

yup, content file locked

[thorn trout]

can you send me a screenshot of the message you're getting?

[quiet rose]

Delete everything in .\Steam\steamapps\downloading

While steam is closed

[tacit holly]

how 2 screenshot

[gleaming grotto]

Print Screen

[quiet rose]

Can also try verifying cache

Those are my two suggestions

Usually works 90% of the time. Its a steam issue. Not a DUSK one

[gleaming grotto]

So I've got a question about Dusk

[hexed roost]

@tacit holly I think I might be able to help, do you want to take this to dms?

[tacit holly]

yes please

[thorn trout]

kk if you've got it covered @hexed roost I'm going to bed.

[gleaming grotto]

If I somehow found a way to play the pre-alpha while it's not supposed to be played, would it be okay to share that method with other pre-alpha owners?

[hexed roost]

👍

[thorn trout]

@gleaming grotto umm... depends on what the method is. If you've found a way to play it through Dusk on Steam could you let me or one of the mods know about it?

[gleaming grotto]

Not through steam

[quiet rose]

DM David if it's not through steam

[thorn trout]

oh yeah that would work.

lemme dm

[maiden moth]

Lol that dude was in the new bloods discord but didn't know what new bloods was...

[gleaming grotto]

Alright, the PM went swimingly

jefe and I are engaged now

[thorn trout]

💒

[frozen heart]

man i keep forgetting the loadout menu is there on the level select screen lol

[zealous hound]

Any chance the loadout menu will be little less annoying to use in the future, specifically ammo for say the riveter has to be added one click at a time. Unless I'm a dum dum and did something wrong that is

I remember trying holding it and it wouldn't work

[frozen heart]

i think the way the ammo works is it's added by the same amount as one ammo pickup

so rivets are only 1

[zealous hound]

Yeah

Adding pistil ammo to max is also pretty annoying but that's not really as important as riveter, since you can't pistol jump and all :P

[maiden moth]

Whoops

[brittle summit]

holy shit how did I not know the loadout thing existed

I've been using IDKFA the whole time

[zealous hound]

Heh

I suppose that works too

[tacit holly]

problem fixed ty @thorn trout

[frozen heart]

oh man

3 fast fire runes is the funniest shit

[thin sphinx]

ok so while my saves got wiped ill probaly restart the pacfist/duskmare stuff later

but i found a route on e1m3 with no keys

requires the riviter and good amount of speed

almost made it to the map exit

but fell in the diamond secret room

[formal turret]

what loadout menu?

[hallow sorrel]

in level select you can chose the start weapons.

[rocky lichen]

@thorn trout Creations was so perfect and funny, I was thinking 'what does creations mean/what is yet to come?'

pinging David this early in the morning

Pls avoid that

that doesnt wake him up or anything

he's not going to be awakened by the discord notification sensor planted onto his heart

[atomic egret]

so?

[vague egret]

It wakes me up. You try sleeping when your phone won't shutup
