[exotic ibex]

if you dont know any mapping tools and wanna fuck around with one

use that

Q1 format

[mossy gust]

Thanks all. I’ll peep it.

[quiet rose]

== DUSK & DUSK SDK (DAWN) INFORMATION DUMP ==

1. Dusk is developed entirely in Unity, although you could easily mistake it for the Quake engine.
2. TrenchBroom is the "officially" supported mapping tool, but that doesn't mean others won't receive support or testing.
3. Custom scripting (enemies, weapons, game modes, etc) will be ready long before custom levels will be, and will likely have some form of public testing phase.
4. The SDK will contain various tools to aid with mod creation, but none are necessary if you enjoy developing raw (maps and shaders are exempt from this).
5. Scripting involves a custom definition language along with Lua for behaviour control, and potentially Squirrel as an alternative option down the line.
6. Custom levels are currently in the form of asset bundles, which a BSP must be converted to within Unity. There are technical reasons behind this, but there are plans to remove this limitation and allow loading BSPs directly.
7. The official game data formats are IQM (models), PNG (textures), flac (audio), however they are not the only ones you can use.
8. You are able to load Quake 3 MD3 models, and potentially Quake 1 MDL models down the line. However, this feature is not officially supported, so don't expect it to be flawless.
9. Yes, there will be a console. Yes, mods can make use of it.
10. An .fgd and a .wad will be provided for use in Quake mapping tools.

[mossy gust]

Is it hard? I’m somewhat familiar with other tools.

[untold elm]

Getting trenchbroom right now.

[exotic ibex]

trenchbroom isnt hard

at all

infact it was surprising how easy it was compared to something like hammer

[mossy gust]

This is very pleasing to me

[untold elm]

Hammer makes me want to scream

at times.

[exotic ibex]

using trenchbroom felt a lot like using black magic

lol

[crimson folio]

I love hammer

[exotic ibex]

i couldnt do it

[crimson folio]

JACK forever

[exotic ibex]

i tried real hard to use hammer

couldnt do it

made me want to off myself.

[mossy gust]

The first quake mapping tool I ever learned was QuArK.

It was physically offensive

And caused me great pain

[untold elm]

trenchbroom supports Q4 .... gross.

[exotic ibex]

trenchbroom felt like painting. was a lot of fun

👍🏻

[strange blaze]

I know it doesn't really matter

but whats the story of dusk

why the frig is this stuff hapenning

[crimson folio]

you are John duskman

super marine and art collector

[strange blaze]

...

im being serious

[crimson folio]

you're a treasure hunter

[graceful wing]

basicallly you're a treasure hunter

[crimson folio]

that's pretty much it so far

[graceful wing]

ah gg beat me to it

[strange blaze]

i thought his name was Dusk Dude

[quiet rose]

They are joking with you

[graceful wing]

but yup for the time being there's not much else i can share on the story front

[strange blaze]

i mean

him being a treasure hunter is a believable thing

considering you collect teasure

[quiet rose]

Its not.

[radiant venture]

who @ me

[strange blaze]

look in your mentions

next to the search bar

[radiant venture]

nothing new

[prisma kestrel]

in this game you play as Duck Dude and have to steal bread from old people

[crimson folio]

you beat dusk on nightmare, right @radiant venture

[radiant venture]

nope

did you ask me that recently?

because it says you asked me yesterday

OOOOO

I see lol

past midnight

[crimson folio]

lol

[radiant venture]

but no, I didn't beat duskmare

500 did tho

[prisma halo]

Just note that the list of information on the SDK you'll often see posted here is slightly out of date, more up to date news will come eventually.

Most of the things related to scripting in particular are no longer up to date

[bronze nacelle]

good news or bad news?

[prisma halo]

Good news

Basically there have been a ton of improvements made to workflow, feature set, etc since that info dump

[quiet rose]

Time to write up a new one then Zombie.

[prisma halo]

I'll be doing that once more is locked down

[quiet rose]

cracks whip

[prisma halo]

For now just continue to repost the current info dump, it's "good enough"

Although maybe I should make a quick change to get rid of parts that no longer apply

[mossy gust]

I am very excited to make content for this game

[prisma halo]

since Lua isn't part of the equation anymore

[quiet rose]

You should.

Dont need to be misinforming people !!!!

[tawny briar]

now what about the console

[quiet rose]

What about it?

It'll be there at release.

All you need to know.

[prisma halo]

What do you want to know about the console?

[tawny briar]

can u do stuff with bhops with it

[prisma halo]

Can you elaborate, I'm not sure what you mean

[hexed roost]

sv_autohop 1

[tawny briar]

like no speed cap

[prisma halo]

if that was a cvar it'd be cl_autohop 1 actually

not sv

:^)

[hexed roost]

want to hear a good joke

[prisma halo]

and yeah I guess I could add a cvar to disable speed cap

[hexed roost]

put demos in via console

with a demos UI

just like source

[prisma halo]

hue

[prisma kestrel]

put demons in console

[hexed roost]

i demand sv_speedtrick also be a function

here we go

get this shit in there

[quiet rose]

How about

Mod it in™

[hexed roost]

how about you type demos in console while playing

and we all laugh at you when you get disconnected and sent back to the main menu

[quiet rose]

ohh thats a goodin

[hexed roost]

host also needs to be able to open the cd drives on clients

just like goldsrc

[crimson folio]

Goldsrc can open players' CD drives?

hosts could do that?

[prisma halo]

** DUSK SDK Info Dump 2™ **

• TrenchBroom is the "officially" supported mapping tool, but that doesn't mean others won't receive support or testing.
• The SDK will contain various tools to aid with mod creation, but none are necessary if you enjoy developing raw (shaders are exempt from this).
• Scripting is done in C#, however you are not required to compile scripts yourself (think DECORATE/ZScript in GZDoom).
• There are a series of custom definition formats to define maps, game settings, etc.
• The official game data formats are IQM (models), PNG (textures), flac (audio), however they are not the only ones you can use.
• You are able to load Quake 3 MD3 models, and potentially Quake 1 MDL models down the line. However, this feature is not officially supported, so don't expect it to be flawless.
• Yes, there will be a console. It's comparable to Quake 2 and GZDoom's.
• An .fgd and a .wad will be provided for use in Quake mapping tools. The game itself does not load these files.
• There is a feature called "unsafe mode" that gives modders completely unhindered access to the internal and Unity APIs through scripting. However, making a mod require this feature is discouraged, and players must manually enable unsafe mode themselves.
• A portion of cut/unused content will be left in the game for modders to make use of.

There's a little bit of extra information with some changes to existing things

[prisma ivy]

Nice

[strange blaze]

welp, my friend whos doing duskmare for his first run is on e1m4

[crimson folio]

@prisma halo thanks chief

[summer otter]

[strange blaze]

So

Release is halloween

right?

[exotic ibex]

no. thats placeholder

[vague egret]

lol no

[exotic ibex]

check the pins

[opal plover]

How many maps does duskworld have right now?

[quiet rose]

It's a work in progress.

[red gale]

ooooh. cut content

[opal plover]

But like, as of now?

[desert fractal]

More than 1

[graceful wing]

No comment

[crimson folio]

at least 0

[hexed roost]

some

[crimson folio]

at least 3

no meme answer

unless they were dropped post e3

[hexed roost]

i forgot we went to e3 that was crazy

that's where we played dusk on ps2 w/ multitap

[quiet rose]

Quakecon*

[hexed roost]

nah, there were 3 at QC

[crimson folio]

lol

late night brain far

[strange blaze]

i feel like since the crosshairs are so simple, you could just have a option to draw your own crosshair

a pixel pen

some colors

bam, draw your own crosshair

most crosshair customization ever

yay

[fair mirage]

mod it in(tm)

[desert fractal]

i just hope someone develops a dusk fortress mod

i would do it myself but i don't know anything about vidya development

[strange blaze]

i might learn it just to develop it

lol

[fair mirage]

i dunno dick about that stuff neither but i plan on at least trying to make something for duks

[desert fractal]

yeah, i have an itch of being able to do i

t

[strange blaze]

the 2fort will be the original 2fort

:p

[hexed plaza]

PS2 with multitap

[desert fractal]

i mean i might not be able to do a whole game mode mod, but at least i'd like to do something like a new weapon

[hexed plaza]

Is this a meme or did you guys really port it to PS2?

[crystal vessel]

It was a joke

[hexed plaza]

Wew.

[desert fractal]

Or a sound pack where i replace every sound effect with sounds made with my mouth

[hexed plaza]

That would've been hilarious.

[strange blaze]

i presume unity can run on a PS2?

[hexed plaza]

I'm kinda sad.

[desert fractal]

it already exists for DOOM

[strange blaze]

which means this game could be hacked onto PS2

[hexed plaza]

Dreamcast port first.

[strange blaze]

im calling it now, It runs Dusk will be the new thing

[hexed plaza]

If you're gonna meme, use a meme console.

[strange blaze]

dusk for the switch would be dope

Gyro controls are suprisingly mouse like

:p

[crimson folio]

They're putting doom on the switch so uhh why not

dreamcast isn't a meme console

[strange blaze]

so the game isn't actualy releasing on halloween?

metacritic still saays so

they should fix that

[graceful wing]

Not meta's fault. Valve published a placeholder date

[strange blaze]

we need a boxed dusk in a huge box

with a manual and a ton of other goodies

although, that probably would be expensive for a indie company consisting of 8 people

[graceful wing]

A physical release is in the works. Stay tuned

[crimson folio]

Hope it isn't delayed

[graceful wing]

While I don't have a date to give you guys here the game is progressing on schedule

[crimson folio]

Sounds good

[strange blaze]

why doesn't dusk dude have hands

[crimson folio]

He controls everything with his mind

[quaint cliff]

Mind hands

[opal plover]

Shill the intruder.

[bronze nacelle]

How is the development going?

how long till full release?

[junior bobcat]

Never

[jade root]

No timeframe on release. It'll be done when it's done

We got duskworld beta coming up soon though

[opal plover]

In other words it's cancelled.

Dusk is multiplayer only now.

[jade root]

All of dusk is cancelled except for the modding tools

You'll still get those

[crimson folio]

^

[mystic basalt]

how do you sign up for the dw beta?

[prisma halo]

you exist here and pray

[jade root]

basically

we'll have a sign on here soon

and from that we'll pick people

[bronze nacelle]

remember when i wrote my internet suc, don't sign me for dw?

forget what i said, it's working fine again

i need dw

[jade root]

well you have to apply for dw anyway, so we wouldnt have signed you unless you applied

[bronze nacelle]

what do you mean with apply?

[junior bobcat]

i guess you'll have to sign up for some list or something

[jade root]

we're gonna have an application process

we arent just gonna choose random people

you have to sign up for the chance to get in

[graceful wing]

same thing as most closed betas these days work

[bronze nacelle]

never signed for any beta before

[graceful wing]

we'll ask for your location and pc specs

[jade root]

its not like we are giving you 21 questions and basing it off of a variety of things

[graceful wing]

^^

we just want a good pool of people from around the world with both low and high end machines

[jade root]

itll be very simple

ye

however we still are gonna be slightly biased in our selection

theres a few people here that are already garunteed access when it becomes available

and if youve been an ass and caused shit in here, you prolly arent gonna get in

[graceful wing]

everyone'll get in eventually but yeah it's a factor

[bronze nacelle]

i got a warning a for using a word

[graceful wing]

although the main thing is llocation + specs

that's nothing

[jade root]

a single warning wont sway our opinion

[graceful wing]

we're talking abou t hardcore / repeat offenders

[bronze nacelle]

good

[graceful wing]

which there are next to none on the server currently

[jade root]

you prolly said it by accident or didnt know the rules, which happens from time to time

[bronze nacelle]

"next to"

didn't notice anyone

[jade root]

repeat offenders like @mild ginkgo wont get in at all

[fair mirage]

what a loser

[bronze nacelle]

lol

[jade root]

if you can do the time in dota you can do the time in PRISON

haha

[graceful wing]

500 is on very thin ice

[opal plover]

How long will be the moment between the opening of the sign up and the people being selected?

[graceful wing]

probably pretty fast

we're most likely gonna push the apps live about a week before we start the first public test phase

[jade root]

theres a good chance we'll do things in waves as well

if the servers are fine with X amount of people, we'll open it up to Y amount of people

itll be an ongoing process

[bronze nacelle]

is the game going to bo released before the end of this year?

[crimson folio]

i'm a repeat offender of being the funniest shitposter on the server

[slate edge]

Soon™

[bronze nacelle]

shillbot strikes

[mild chasm]

[crimson folio]

[jade root]

Hey guys, you have to remove dusk from your steam account to get duskworld

If it doesn't work, try rebuying dusk

[stone thistle]

thanks for the info

[hexed roost]

get psyched

[little lagoon]

How did you get the release date to say "SOON"

[graceful wing]

we typed it in a textbox

[little lagoon]

Didnt know they allowed you to type whatever in there

[worn moon]

I think i saw one that said "When it's done" once.

When it is finished*

It was Into the Breach.

That is geting a bit off topic.

[quaint cliff]

Is the sequel going to be Til Dawn?

Will there be Mexican vampires?

[graceful wing]

you can set the release date to just about anything but valve may not be happy in all cases. i can't really get into how this stuff works though unfortunately

[little lagoon]

Or better yet, mexican redneck hilibillies

with Chainsaws!

[summer otter]

[crimson folio]

Woah open beta sounds cool as hell

[frozen heart]

Open beta means more noob to wreck

[crimson folio]

I do suck yeah

[bronze nacelle]

me too

[serene sandal]

Wow didn't know we were already on DUSK 12.

[fair mirage]

prolly some jerk from the future trying to steal our thunder

[delicate hatch]

[frozen heart]

[strange blaze]

so

what are you endless mode records?

[quaint cliff]

20k

[crimson folio]

All the shooters I like are broken for some reason. Please can DuskWorld be a thing soon?

[quaint cliff]

Wow, Dave is famous

[strange blaze]

@quaint cliff are you really good

or do i just suck really bad

also, what difficulty?

[quaint cliff]

Just normal

I only get to 8k on ceiro meido

Or however it's spelled

[crystal vessel]

cero miedo

[strange blaze]

i only get to 34

i do fine for a few waves

and then something i cant see shoots the crap out of me

not very good at crowd control

:p

my friend just beat duskmare

...

on his first run of the game

[mild ginkgo]

[jaunty meteor]

I'm sure this isn't news for someone here, but Dusk is on PC Gamer's list of upcoming 2017 releases

Out of, what, the 10 remaining games left

[quiet rose]

Yea , was posted here before.

[strange blaze]

🤔

the only console i could imagine dusk being even close to working on is the nintendo switch because of the pointer controls

[crystal vessel]

Game plays well on controller

[mild ginkgo]

%

^

[fair mirage]

ye

way to go 500

[mild ginkgo]

plug in your xbox controller

its really not bad

[crystal vessel]

I can't play with a controller for shit but I did a playthrough and had a good time

[fair mirage]

sux that in the ep1 version there's no controller customization

[strange blaze]

is there already Mac support?

[mild ginkgo]

its been tested in the past

but only internally

[strange blaze]

because no AFPS have mac support, and when DUSKWorld comes out, i wanna play with my friend who has a mac

:p

[mild ginkgo]

duskworld is cancelled

[strange blaze]

dank meme

soap/10

[quaint cliff]

Why don't we have a soap emote?

[strange blaze]

uh

idk

i'll make one

see if they add it

what level is the soap on again?

[crimson folio]

all of them

[hexed roost]

here he is

zoap.blend

[opal plover]

Speaking of models, the assault riflle bullets pickup is kind of crooked.

[strange blaze]

is the sound effect when you go into water a stock one?

sounds identicle to the one in minecraft beta

[crystal vessel]

Well I mean

DUSK IS just Minecraft

Like just look at the graphics

[prisma ivy]

Practically the same game tbh

[strange blaze]

yeah dusk is such a ripoff, but my dad works for owns microsoft, and hes going to sue new blood for 3 million billion

[hexed roost]

how about

i give you 3 cents

and some belly button lint

[strange blaze]

no

my dad also said mods are coming to minecraft Xbox and getting removed from minecraft PC because the only people that play minecraft PC are neckbeards

[prisma ivy]

Uh

[strange blaze]

virgins

[prisma ivy]

Ill throw in like $1

[strange blaze]

who

live in their

moms

basements, basement

[prisma ivy]

Alright let's not get too off topic

[quaint cliff]

SOAP

Dusk soap

[strange blaze]

Dusk 2 is a rail shooter that reveals that the soap was the enemy all along

[prisma ivy]

Take that back heretic

[strange blaze]

you can predorder the uber special ultimate deluxe edition that includes a pen, a foam statue the size of $5 action figure, and a signed piece a shit taken directly from the devs toilet for only $200

[strange blaze]

I was thinking of being one of the dusk cultist for halloween

about 10 seconds later i realized

"wait shit, i'll look like a kkk"

[quaint cliff]

Scarecrow

[red gale]

if you can pull off the straw chest, then i'd be impressed

or just go out in whatever and say your duskdude

you can get away with that

for now

[untold elm]

I'd just go as Leatherneck.

[mild ginkgo]

id like to see a scarecrow

ill give someone who does scarecrow a prize

idk what it is

but ill give it to you

[crimson folio]

Sounds good

I could do fatass scarecrow

[exotic ibex]

@frozen heart you're tall enough to do this

do it nerd

[frozen heart]

it would be a chubby scarecrow but yeah

[exotic ibex]

nah you'll be fine

[frozen heart]

it also requires money

[exotic ibex]

you dont need money

money is for the weak

[frozen heart]

money is for those who actually want to live

[hexed plaza]

Scarecrow is ez.

A soap costume should get the prize.

[jaunty meteor]

You know, I'm a little curious; did David & co. ever consider giving Dusk a more rudimentary physics system to fit the period it's meant to represent? Something like Deus Ex, where thrown items fly in fixed arcs and don't pitch/yaw naturally

[signal sparrow]

Just watched an incredible PowerPoint by you guys! Really opened by eyes!

Also Dusk looks sick! Can’t wait to get onboard!

[jaunty meteor]

Oh, was that powerpoint put anywhere, or was it a live presentation?

It's totally sick

[mild ginkgo]

id love to see goofy physics in dusk

also yeah that powerpoint was given by dave at Melbourne Games Week

youll be hearing a lot from new blood during the next week or so, stay tuned ✌

[fossil slate]

Hola

[prisma ivy]

Hi

[desert fractal]

The campaign is supposed to be launched before Duskworld, right?

Also does Duskworld have its own launcher?

[quiet rose]

Plan is to launch at the same time

[mild ginkgo]

launch same time is the plan

it will be launched as a separate executable, but not a separate app

when you launch dusk it looks like this

[desert fractal]

nice

[exotic ibex]

oh. i didnt realize that was a difference.

looks like its just another classic "hank doesnt know what he's talking about" moment

[mild ginkgo]

thats separate app ids

that is not how the game will launch

[exotic ibex]

thats why i usually dont answer these things

heh

[mystic basalt]

speaking of app listings, I was trying to associate a youtube video on steam to DUSK, but steam doesn't seem to allow it

[mild ginkgo]

probably because the main dusk isnt out

just like how you cant review it

we would love if people could review it

[mystic basalt]

right, but there are communities for DUSK and DUSK: Episode 1

[mild ginkgo]

but we did it in a very untraditional way because we wanted people to play the game!

[mystic basalt]

are those separate?

[mild ginkgo]

yeah theyre separate games, and one doesnt have a store page

so its kinda a little janky

thatll be sorted out when the game launches, but for now, have you tried associating to dusk ep 1?

[mystic basalt]

I only have an option for DUSK; ep 1 isn't listed

[mild ginkgo]

yeahhhh, thats probably because of the store page thing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

valve

™

[mystic basalt]

it's not a big deal, I just saw other people who have the proper tags on their videos

no worries

[mild ginkgo]

oh do they

idk how they did it

[jade root]

just associate it as Quake :^)

[mild ginkgo]

im not very familiar with steams community features admittedly

I've been following that Jacob guy doing the comic. Pretty cool stuff

[prisma ivy]

nope

That will be closer to realease

[rose needle]

Stranger things in 3 days!

So much cool stuff this month

I feel like there was another badass metroidvania coming out soon too

Dusk though. Is the main squeeze

[graceful wing]

no news on big box dates yet yeah

[atomic egret]

stranger things, wolf 2 and mario odyssey all on the 27th

[rose needle]

My undertale special edition with the gold heart locket should be here soon too

And cuphead has been badass although I'm stuck at beginning of isle 3 it got so hard

[prisma ivy]

Yeah theres a lot of good stuff this month

#bnnuy-and-the-jits though please

[graceful wing]

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

[mild chasm]

Dern, Shillbot, how many times do I have to pre-order and play DUSK: Episode 1?

And how many times have pre-orders gone up again and again

teach me the secrets of doosk

[fair mirage]

you must preorder for all of your friends

even the ones you don't really like

[mild chasm]

I have one friend and he already pre-ordered the game

[fair mirage]

your task is complete, then

[mild chasm]

he also happens to be my enemy

but that's besides the point

Are you saying I'm free from the shackles of DUSK until launch happens ?

[prisma ivy]

you cant escape

[mild chasm]

I can strafe jump though

that's basically the same thing

[fair mirage]

oh yeah, we removed that

😉

[mild chasm]

oh no

[west bolt]

Hows the dusk community doing?

@west bolt Pumped as heck for DUSKWorld and the modding scene to explode!

[junior bobcat]

cant wait to waste my life on OverDusk

[summer otter]

we ask that u wait patiently

oop

[crimson folio]

oh will i buggery!

can't wait to see how Dusk explodes, Ep. 1 is killer

[west bolt]

I'm very hyped up for duskworld as well

[formal turret]

if you flip like any gun

and instantly switch to dual shotguns

when you press the flip button

the shotguns do this cool flip

[crimson folio]

I wonder if Dusk's level editor will be easy to use

[prisma halo]

It has no dedicated editor of its own (not currently, anyway), you use Quake mapping tools

[graceful wing]

go read up on trenchbroom, that's the main mapping tool currently

[crimson folio]

I'll look it up, thanks

[crimson folio]

also, you may want to look into JACK

[junior bobcat]

whats the difference

[crimson folio]

one's black magic

the other is a better hammer editor

depends on what you're comfortable with mostly

[junior bobcat]

tried to use both and they were the same thing pretty much

except Jack was a bigger pain to set up

[crimson folio]

you kidding?

entirely different workflow

[junior bobcat]

No

im not kidding🤡

[crimson folio]

jack is a bigger pain to set up

[opal plover]

Hey I was wondering, you know how the loading screen in E1 is a cabin in the woods, Will that differ for the other episodes?

[graceful wing]

it may or may not

[crimson folio]

it's gonna change

to dacon3

[jaunty meteor]

Going to second that JACK is way nicer than Trenchbroom, at least for me

"No 2D views" is a downside, not a feature :p

[gleaming grotto]

So is the town from DUSK cursed, or just full of occult "stuff"?

Alright here's my mini-review of DUSK for this thing I'm doing

Let me know if it sucks

[jade root]

its kinda both

the inhabitants of DUSK have been possessed

[prisma ivy]

Duskville

[crimson folio]

Btw good on the devs for choosing andrew hulshult to make the music

[gleaming grotto]

I'm doing some charity work for my local library, and they've assigned me to write up some video game reccomendations for them to put on their website.

And since October is almost over, I'm giving DUSK a slot for this month and November

For MAXIMUM SHILL POTENTIAL

[quiet rose]

Dunno who told you co-op was free... its 1600 Oshry Coins....

[gleaming grotto]

Shucks

[prisma halo]

You can only get those coins through specially branded loot boxes

[prisma ivy]

if you get NewBlood™ Premium™ however...

[quiet rose]

NewBlood™ Premium™ however raises the price for Duskworld due to priority queue...

but without it you wait 30 minutes per round

[prisma ivy]

But you won't have to worry about that if you have NewBlood™ Premium™ GOLD™

[gleaming grotto]

At least I didn't forget the soon™

[crimson folio]

lol

did someone mention the hitscan lootboxes

[frozen heart]

Wat

[crimson folio]

yeah

hitscan lootboxes

[twilit olive]

oshcoins

5 dollars is 500 oshcoins

[frozen heart]

No

5 dollars gets you 575 oshcoins

[gleaming grotto]

4 dollars gets you 364 oshcoins

6 dollars, you get 743

[prisma halo]

10 dollars for a value 850.23 pack

[jaunty meteor]

@gleaming grotto Do you write some sort of games column?

Oh oops, didn't scroll down

[gleaming grotto]

Basically

It's also volunteer work, and the first one I've written

So I won't be putting this on a résumé or anything

[sick lintel]

i wish dusk guy was my dad

[summer otter]

he can be our dad

[radiant venture]

I wish dusk dude was my mom

[summer otter]

my dad is my mom follow your heart

[opal plover]

@jaunty meteor Pretty sure that trenchbroom has 2D view.

[crimson folio]

Did the dev playtest duskmare and beat it

[quiet rose]

Yes, we did.

[tawny briar]

wow

[exotic ibex]

@mild ginkgo did i believe

not sure if anyone else on the QA team has

[quiet rose]

I got to the experiments and gave up for a bit.

But everything else felt right.

[graceful wing]

i beat it aswell

took a while

[frozen heart]

You gave up because you didn't believe in the heart of the soap

[crimson folio]

Jesus

I'm trying it now

Only died once

In the attic on the first level quicksaving after every enemy is killed

[jade root]

Just play it like Touhou

Avoid the circles

[untold elm]

Dusks mysterious voice identity revealed.

[tawny briar]

oooo

[crimson folio]

Pretty much except I suck at touhou

[jade root]

Prolly cause you can't accept the Cirno within you

[crimson folio]

Lol

tfw died twice to rats

[frozen heart]

If you shoot the rats they die

[crimson folio]

woah

[jade root]

If you punch the cyberdemon it'll die

[prisma ivy]

...eventually

[crimson folio]

My head hurts from circle strafing the boss so much

[hollow gust]

Oooh I like this talk about adding lootboxes to Dusk! Can better weapons for multiplayer be inside them? Or like equippable passive speed upgrades, things like that?

And you have to pay to get the boxes

[prisma halo]

yeah there's the secret dacon powerup you can only get through loot boxes

it boosts your meme output by ~10x

[hollow gust]

nice

As a whale, I think we can all agree money > skill

[prisma halo]

💰 Yes 💰

[mild ginkgo]

My duskmare run was done without saving

also executed more like a speedrun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikvq8u2mlZY

oh

and also done pacifist

and intruder mode

lmao

i forgot about that

this video is actually an old version of e1m8

so the routing is entirely different

but thatll give you an idea of how it was done

[exotic ibex]

dat tree hop

every time

[warm shoal]

how do you do e1m3 on duskmare

with all the rats

duskmare pacifist*

[crystal vessel]

Not getting hit

[warm shoal]

well

[frozen heart]

in old time religion?

[mild ginkgo]

THATS A VERY HARD ONE

[jade root]

lolwhat

[mild ginkgo]

it took me like 10 hours of practice to do on pacifist

[frozen heart]

just break all but the bottom board just before the AR

[jade root]

just arrowjump

to win

[mild ginkgo]

also intruder mode

and speedrun

[frozen heart]

i'll do e1m3 duskmare intruder right now

[mild ginkgo]

do it pacifist

hf

[frozen heart]

no

[mild ginkgo]

ITS NOT FUN

SPOILER

[frozen heart]

actually

maybe

[jade root]

why do something that isnt fun

do vvvvvv pacifist

i dare you

[crystal vessel]

Why play any game pacifist

[jade root]

gonna play scyth 2 pacifist brb

i died

rip

[prisma ivy]

Too bad

[frozen heart]

doing this makes me really dislike swimming and how crouhcing works

[quaint cliff]

Yeah, the unlocked axis stops momentum at times swimming

[frozen heart]

also fuck the bars around the ladder at the red key

[frozen heart]

@mild ginkgo there

but it wasn't by my hand so fuck you

[mild ginkgo]

not pacifist

[frozen heart]

nah fuck your rng

[mild ginkgo]

yeah i struggled with that one a LOT

[gleaming grotto]

DUSK karma system when

[frozen heart]

end screen should probably show difficulty and intruder mode

don't know why the audio died halfway through

also the color got butchered

[mystic basalt]

oh we doing cigar only?

[lyric grail]

the strats are real!

[frozen heart]

oh hey alara

i keep forgetting you're in here lol

[mild ginkgo]

ALSO 2 SLOW

you gotta get the secret blue key by grabbing the fuel can on the way into the water

[lyric grail]

@frozen heart

[frozen heart]

@mild ginkgo there happy now?

[mild ginkgo]

👍

[radiant venture]

@frozen heart you know you can lock the vertical axis, right?

[frozen heart]

yeah

but thats booooooooring

[modern trellis]

Episode 2 soon?

[frozen heart]

im guessing youtube doens't like the limited color palette

[thorn trout]

limited palette looks a bit off on Youtube

[frozen heart]

https://youtu.be/g6KHNXhwaeA

Theres the proper run

[mystic basalt]

whats the first award spot

[crystal vessel]

Completionist

[mystic basalt]

ah ty

nice run btw

[untold elm]

Just shot a mage and he ended up here somehow.

[fair mirage]

corpse physics in duks is a bit silly at times

[prisma halo]

hahahahahahahaha

[fair mirage]

OH he's on the tree

nice shot

[prisma halo]

corpses have super high sensitivity to shots

so you probably shot him after he died accidentally

and sent him into the sun

[thorn trout]

everything in duks is a bit silly at times :P

[fair mirage]

and that's a good chunk of the charm

[prisma halo]

yup

[untold elm]

I just made a new color display. I call it "Win95 jpeg screenshots"

[prisma halo]

oh god

[toxic wadi]

AHHh

[untold elm]

Its pretty bad xD

[fair mirage]

lovely

[untold elm]

Its even worse in colored lighting.

[thorn trout]

lol I love seeing people go nuts with the color options

there's so much you can do with them

[untold elm]

Yeah, its a BLAST to mess around in 😄

The worst level in this color preset.

Behold!

[frozen heart]

looks like my youtube video

[thorn trout]

oh geez, eye cancer

[gleaming grotto]

Ah, reminds me of that time I turned DUSK into a major motion picture from Hollywood

Dusk™ Cinematic Mod©

[thorn trout]

dat blue and yellow 👌 😩

[gleaming grotto]

It's also locked to 24 fps

Just like all the big movies

I'm going to repost this again a few months down the line and it's going to look even worse

[quiet rose]

Gonna remaster it?

[gleaming grotto]

*REremaster

Then I'm going to do a shot-for-shot remake but in a different country in a different language

[atomic egret]

T E A L A N D O R A N G E

thank u shillbot

where is ae shill

[hollow flame]

Not in the dusk room

Lel

[fair mirage]

AE shill soon(tm)

soon as avain gets off his lazy bum

[west bolt]

@untold elm 😂 👌

[woeful sonnet]

Is this still in the game?

Because it doesn't seem like it would be an episode 2 environment.

[jade root]

its gone

[woeful sonnet]

Ok

[crimson folio]

very early screenshot

[fair mirage]

rip

[prisma ivy]

Where did you find that? Old article?

[crimson folio]

it's in the files

a LOT of things are

[woeful sonnet]

I was browsing photos and saw it

[prisma ivy]

Oh yeah

[sick lintel]

the files

i like the files a lot

theyre interesting

very good

[foggy wadi]

that map looks sooo cool

[frozen heart]

That map looks hella cool

[thorn trout]

It might come back 🙂

[crimson folio]

it'd be a fun MP map i bet

[elder heart]

Dusk in 5 days?

[prisma ivy]

No release date

The 31st was placeholder

[fair mirage]

it'll be before the year ends tho

[prisma ivy]

^^^

[foggy wadi]

im super into the infinite murky ocean its got goin on

reminds me of some kind of innsmouth town

[thorn trout]

Man innsmouth in call of Cthulhu is so good

[summer otter]

I liked a story of lovecrafts where homeboy finds an entire continent in the middle of the ocean but it has an alien texture and smell, aside from the bulk of the story, just finding something strange and massive and gross in the middle of a place where nothing should b just resonates deeply within my fear bones

and is maybe partly why all water levels inspire fear

and why the screenshot up early gets some bones hard

shadows of the empire had this disgustingly scary stage in the sewers

you'd fall into super murky water and be assaulted by dianogas, the thing in the trash compacter from the first star wars, nasty spider type blobs of mass

🕸️DUSK🕸️ (@DUSKdev)

DUSK: Episode TWO playable for the first time EVER at #PAXAus 🇦🇺

Come get some?!

Twitter

Hey stop holding out on us!

[hexed plaza]

I want that Dusk poster.

[jaunty meteor]

Maaaan, I want it

Zooming in, this map looks really interesting

It sorta reminds of serious sam; huge open area with some perched enemies far away firing at you

[hexed roost]

This map has already technically been shown

If you look hard enough at previous screenshots/trailers/events

[frozen heart]

Yeah but now we can PLAY it

[quiet rose]

Go to pax aus

duhhhh

[crimson folio]

my computer is 10% australian

can i play it

[quiet rose]

🤔

[graceful wing]

no

you need to talk like an aussie to get access

[lucid trench]

quick question, I understand the whole game is 99% not coming out on 31st, but i've heard things like the multiplayer might or episode 2 might. Any weight to this? Would rather hear from the horses mouth

[quiet rose]

There is no weight to that.

There is a MP Beta planned.

[prisma halo]

Episode 2 will not be released separately from episode 3

The next release of Dusk will be the whole singleplayer package

[jaunty meteor]

They're showing off EP2 at PAX Australia, but it won't be available to the general public until it comes out

[lucid trench]

Gotcha, Thanks for the responses

[quiet rose]

👍

[gleaming berry]

We're trying to get the MP beta out asap but these things take time

Also @mild ginkgo was in Japan

All his fault 😘

[frozen heart]

Whoa

What a weeb

[opal plover]

What are those yellow and red lights in the granary?

In the sky.

[serene sandal]

I can't freaking wait for the DUSKWorld beta! \m/

[proper lotus]

Hot damn Dusk EP 2 at PAX AUS?

God bless ya’ll

[jaunty meteor]

Is distributing the dusk pre-alpha/asking for it frowned upon here? I never got a chance to try it out, I'd love to fiddle around with it

It'd be nice to write a TCRF article on it, even

[mild ginkgo]

ITS TRUE

[hexed roost]

I would message old Zombo

[mild ginkgo]

BUT WE'RE CLOSE TO STARTING IT UP

[hexed roost]

Don't worry though, we've got plans to make sure history is preserved @jaunty meteor

We're all SUPER serious when it comes to alpha/beta/cut-content/etc

[jaunty meteor]

Nifty! I'll ping them in a bit

[lucid trench]

Thats good to hear, It'd suck if the old pre pre pre....alpha was lost to time

[prisma halo]

@jaunty meteor I'm way ahead of ya on the TCRF article thing

It's a big item on my todo list post-SDK

[serene sandal]

This is really good to hear @Unmutual! I am a big believer in perserving past versions of media.

[prisma halo]

You'd be surprised just how much old stuff there is

[graceful wing]

ye we'll release as much stuff as we can

[jaunty meteor]

Wow, that's nice to hear!

[hexed roost]

To give you an idea of how serious we are

People like Zombie, Scott, myself, spend our nights staying up till 4am writing emails to random developers of totally forgotten games

Just to say "thanks for making such a cool game in 1996 dude"

[prisma halo]

Crazy how it came full circle and one of the people involved now work at Unity

[serene sandal]

This is why I love all of you people!

[crystal vessel]

I went back to the pre pre pre alpha some time ago and it's so amazing how much DUSK has been changed and improved

[rotund arch]

hey, is anyone having a problem getting DUSK episode 1 audio to work? For some reason it seems to work just fine on my hyperx cloud headphones and my speakers, but it wont run on my razer kraken 7.1

ive already set my razers as the default, and disabled everything else, nothings working

[prisma halo]

Are any other games affected? Particularly games developed in Unity

[rotund arch]

no, unturned functions just fine

ive already verified files and reinstalled multiple times too

[prisma halo]

Hmm, that's troubling then

cc @thorn trout @mild ginkgo

[mild ginkgo]

can you force stereo output on it?

[rotund arch]

i think the headphones have stereo on by default, and dusk doesnt have more than a couple audio options

i can take a look

[graceful wing]

i've got an old pair of krakens around here somewhere

lemme have a go

[thorn trout]

That has to be an issue with Unity

you sure they work with other Unity games?

[rotund arch]

i just ran unturned, no issues whatsoever

[thorn trout]

wtf

[prisma halo]

If you go into Unturned's game folder

[rotund arch]

its prety wierd

[prisma halo]

then go into Unturned_Data and open globalgamemanagers with notepad

What Unity version do you see?

You should see something like 5.x.xf1 or something

[rotund arch]

i can send a screencap of my audio config, it seems to output sound into my non default audio devices

[graceful wing]

sounds seems to come in alright for me

[prisma halo]

found an old output_log.txt from when I had Unturned installed way back

5.5.2p2

[graceful wing]

gonna put my money down on it being a synapse issue. could you try uninstalling and reinstalling synapse?

[rotund arch]

yea, ill try that

[prisma halo]

Doesn't Dusk on Steam currently use 5.3.5?

[graceful wing]

👍

[prisma halo]

Maybe it's a Unity bug after all but was fixed later on

[rotund arch]

synapse is pretty crap tbh, i should get a new headphone set for when im not competitive gaming

[prisma halo]

oh ok nevermind Dusk E1 is using 5.6.2p1 now

hmm

[graceful wing]

ye synapse is quite bad

[prisma halo]

So it might be a Unity bug that was introduced

If it's not Dusk specific

[rotund arch]

here, if this helps

[graceful wing]

but i was able to get audio out of dusk though so that's probably the cause

[prisma halo]

I don't know of any games to compare to though

[rotund arch]

right now it outputs to the headphones marked "ready" and not to the ones marked "default"

[prisma halo]

what if you disable the other headphones?

[graceful wing]

try disconnecting everything but the krakens

[rotund arch]

if i disable all but the default it doesnt output anything

[graceful wing]

hm...

[rotund arch]

it would help if there was a way to see what audio device the games files are prioritizing

but that isnt in the ini or anything like that

[graceful wing]

well for the time being a synapse reinstall is the #1 thing you should try

don't forget to reboot your pc

[rotund arch]

yea, doin that right now

[graceful wing]

ah sweet

[rotund arch]

ill message back in half an hour or so if it works

or if it doesnt

[graceful wing]

sure, just give us a ping when you're ready

[rotund arch]

gotcha

[thorn trout]

I'm using the same headset though

I've been using the same headset for the entire development lol

[graceful wing]

yea i also tested with my krakens and the sound worked

that's why i suggested reinstalling synapse

[rotund arch]

yea, doing that right now

i do remember wolfenstein the new order having a similar problem, but i solved that just by disabling everything

[graceful wing]

you could try connecting the headset to an usb port on your motherboard insteat of the case panel etc

[rotund arch]

oh god now the razer synapse installer isnt responding

time to try again

[graceful wing]

in synapse's case that's a feature

[rotund arch]

understandable

[graceful wing]

decent hardware ruined by terrible driver software

a shame really

[rotund arch]

uh, now it just flat out refuses to install now...

rip my hardware

[graceful wing]

there's a chance it did an unclean uninstall

[rotund arch]

my favorite kind

[graceful wing]

try running something like ccleaner to get rid of any temp files

[rotund arch]

ok, i uninstalled via ccleaner, lets hope for the best

sweet, im in

[graceful wing]

👌

[rotund arch]

fyi im on my 8th computer reset

im pretty sure my hardware wants to kill me by now

[graceful wing]

woah

[rotund arch]

audio problems come with a toll, it seems

alright, everything is fine

moment of truth

still nothing, unfortunately

[mild ginkgo]

did you try with no synapse installed

[graceful wing]

uhh check the audio mixer in synapse

[rotund arch]

yea its fine, no other options enabled

[graceful wing]

try playing around with the slider for dusk

the mixer can be extremely weird at times

[rotund arch]

you know you have great software when your mixer doesnt have anything to mix

ima try it with synapse completly off

no, its still not working, so it cant be synapse at this point

[thorn trout]

wtffffffffff

[rotund arch]

oh well, i think im gonna call it a night, thanks for trying to help, means a lot

i can just use my speakers for now

[graceful wing]

😦

feel free to ask us to help you out whenever you feel like it though. sucks we couldn't fix the audio issue here

[rotund arch]

its all good, razer products have been haunting me for years, i was planning on buying my own cloudx soon anyways (been using my brothers for testing today)

its cool though, thanks for trying to help

[mild ginkgo]

we'll investigate the issue as far as we can, thanks a lot for making us aware

[graceful wing]

if you want some quality heaphones and you've got the money for it i'd highly recommend looking at sennheiser's stuff

[rotund arch]

thanks, will do

[graceful wing]

it's unlikely that it's an unity issue since i was able to get the audio working on my old krakens

[rotund arch]

yea, probably just razer products being razer products

i swear their keyboards and mice are the only thing that even works with them

alright, im gonna go run off and enjoy dusk now, thanks again for everything, even if we couldnt do much

❤

[graceful wing]

hope you have a blast mate 😃

[crimson folio]

I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like the world needs DuskWorld. There are shooters to play, but nothing good and crunchy anymore.

I want the thing that DuskWorld is, to be a thing.

[warm shoal]

razer mice are the only acceptable thing they make imo

and i dont even like those compared to many other options

i just think they're ok

enjoy the game tho

[crimson folio]

Am I the first to find this??? and why in this location of all?

[graceful wing]

nah, those are littered all around the game

kind of like unmarked secrets

[crimson folio]

Man and I thought I was cool for a second

[graceful wing]

you can usually find them in places that are hard / impossible to get to with normal play

out of bounds etc

[crimson folio]

I got to that one through regular play, I went up a ladder and it threw me over the gate and I found this little reference to GTA San Andreas.

[graceful wing]

yep some are fairly easy to get to

but others require a series of rivet jumps / noclipping

[crimson folio]

Still pretty cool I think, and now I have to go back through and find what else I could have missed in Episode 1

[graceful wing]

heh

there's a LOT of hidden stuff in there

[crimson folio]

It's gonna be a long night then

[rotund arch]

holy hell this game is a blast

cant wait for the speedruns, those are gonna be awesome to watch

[opal plover]

Yeah if you press space while going up a ladder it's gonna fling you into the air.

[rotund arch]

yea, found that one out earlier

[opal plover]

So I was wondering, where in the files are the pictures like this one?

[hexed roost]

The only place you'll find that level is on the source for the game 😛

If you have that well... We have failed horribly at information security!

[frozen heart]

welp

guess you're all fired

[summer otter]

teehee!

[hollow flame]

Dusk episode 2 is dank

[mild ginkgo]

its beyond dank

but dont tell the lurkers

[hollow flame]

But

I am a lurker

[graceful wing]

no lurkers allowed

[hollow flame]

No skele's allowed

Ban urself

[fair mirage]

who says the king of skeletons is a skeleton? maybe avain's a crazy necromancer

[graceful wing]

^

[hollow flame]

He is a skeleton who is a king

[graceful wing]

the ruler of all skeletons (except @exotic ibex , i don't associate with him)
