How will you load custom maps/episodes? Will it be something similar to Blood where there's an option in the chapter menu, something like this:
jade root
nope heck off
prisma halo
you can load maps via map <name> in the console
but you can also create custom episode listings
jaunty meteor
Neat!
I always get warm fuzzies when level loading is integrated into the GUI instead of being pushed into console, accessibility is always nice
prisma halo
Could potentially be a "user maps" menu item
which opens a list that just has all the maps the game can load
jaunty meteor
That's what I was hoping for, having it be compartmentalized in its own submenu instead of having custom episodes appear alongside vanilla ones would keep things nice and clean
Glad it's being considered!

That wasn't their fault actually
crimson folio
lmfao
mild chasm
It was Valve
foggy wadi
steam doesnt like soon
jade root
@scarlet ridge blame valve they wanted a release date
scarlet ridge
and for the record I understand that DUSK is being made by one guy so it makes sense that its taking a while
jade root
so we thought halloween was a reasonable date
but it wasnt
see what happens
we miss a placeholder date and people get mad
imagine if it was a real date
mild chasm
The salt would probably mummify shillbot
crimson folio
peeps would probably be less mad
scarlet ridge
and also to be fair, no one knows how much of the game is done yet and its hard to determine how long it takes for a game to be made sometimes, no matter what the game is if that makes sense
jade root
i mean, some of us know
scarlet ridge
ok fair nuff
scarlet ridge
like I figured it wouldnt take too long seeing how DUSK is a rather simplistic game compared to AAA titles
scarlet ridge
not to say dusk is good or bad or that youre wrong but I imagine say the maps in it would take a shorter time to make than say an open world AAA game
still, itd take a considerable amount of time no matter the game
I hope Im not sounding too much like an idiot here lmao
like I remember how in assassins creed unity it took over a MILLION lines of code to program crouching
fucking
CROUCHING
granted it could be because of poor optimization but still
that alone mustve taken a long ass time
toxic wadi
what
scarlet ridge
same goes for figuring out the bhopping mechanic for DUSK, whether it be finetuning it to be just right or just getting the basis of the code down
thorn trout
generally for even small games you have more than one person working on a single level. I'm doing 33+ on my own
toxic wadi
^ and level design can be really hard / time consuming
thorn trout
the majority of gamedev time for most titles is asset creation, not coding
scarlet ridge
Exactly
and fair point jefe
just fyi I dont know jack about game development :V:V:
but I could see how thatd be the case
cus its not just making sure the asset exists, its finetuning it so it looks good
Id imagine it was hard at first for example to get the right look for say the shotgun or the enemies
thorn trout
yeah it's a common misconception that coding the game is the big part of development, when in reality making all the different assets is most of the work
well "most of"
it's a big portion of the work
scarlet ridge
I could see WHY people would think that about coding but I gotchu
guess it depends on how good you are at coding as well as everything else
neat wigeon
getting the actual gameplay of a game to work, especially in an engine like unity takes very little time tbh
i mean yeah there can be a lot of time spent refining it but assets are easily the hardest part
scarlet ridge
speaking of which, jefe, dumb q but did you do all the "voices" in DUSK? enemies, jumping noises, scary voice at the start of the game etc
thorn trout
@urban sparrow does all the spoken dialogue, I did the jump sound :)
scarlet ridge
oh neat!
neat wigeon
thanks for reminding me to really learn blueprints btw
scarlet ridge
no prob lmao
neat wigeon
because im just an animator :(
scarlet ridge
theres something about hearing a jump sound over and over again in a game where bhop or strafejump is a prime mechanic thats just really nice on the ears
like how in quake 3 when you play as sarge and he goes DOAH DOAH DOAH
I legit love that
neat wigeon
because it's more of a feedback sound
sacred flume
hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup
thorn trout
Quake jump sound is π π©
neat wigeon
in other shooters something like a jump sound isn't very important but in a game like this it's legit feedback and an important (and happens to be satisfying) queue

wouldn't it be brilliant if someone made some kind of duck based quake parody called quack?
scarlet ridge
at least it was whenever I did it in xonotic

ofc not, most likely lmao
I REALLY hope that, if it doesnt get a massive fanbase, DUSK at least gets a really active community like with ROTT 2013
community for that game as small but active as fuck
analog sable
a lot of people from the rott 2013 community are here lol
scarlet ridge
I bet that jamacian penguin fucker that recorded all the ROTT saturday matches is here too
I just hope AFPS makes a major comeback somehow
think of all the games with bhop and strafejumping that could come from it
the last AAA title to have bhop I think was far cry 3 (maybe 4/primal, never played them) and dying light
*some of the last AAA titles
jade root
oh
scarlet ridge
ofc they werent AFPSs
scarlet ridge
yea him
he was funny
funny how some first person open world games had bhop and vehicles at the same time
made far cry 3 fun as fuck tho
shockingly enough, cod advanced warfare did have a form of bhop/strafejump
of ALL things
it wasnt on the level of quake ofc but it was there
scarlet ridge
lmao sorry for derailing
gonna go make food, but before I go, I gotta say, the graphic options that make DUSK look like its on a source port with cheesy filters and post processing a la darkplaces is a great touch
such a great touch that I wont report it to the authorities

what's in you guys's opinion the best retro arena shooter with living servers and a living community?
west bolt
mine too, if it were out rn ^^
crimson folio
lol
bretty gud
also i'm pretty sure dusk has the fastest movement of any arena shooter outside of tribes / midair lol
tribes is slower
fastest it is
tribes for n64
i wanna say quake 1 / q3 cpma / reflex comes close
but with how fast you accelerate to max speed in dusk they can't quite compare
serene sandal
DUSK has the most satisfying movement of any FPS I have played.
crimson folio
^
mild ginkgo
you also dont have 100% air control in any of those games
which helps significantly
the only thing in dusk that is mildly dissatisfying in terms of movement is crouching in midair
you just lose all your speed
serene sandal
Yeah I tried stringing jumps and slides together when I first played DUSK and realized quickly that it doesn't work.
crimson folio
hopefully that gets polished up before release
but the way you can strafe jump faster than captain fucking falcon zooming in big blue and instantly jump backwards out of it is downright amazing
slide cancels forever
momentum shifts perfectly and i guarantee you this will look amazing in competitive play with some quake / ut vets
mild chasm
I'm not sure you go faster than in Turok however
Even at max speed with HUPs
Turok is basically Native American Racecar the game
crimson folio
reminder that duskdude is 2m tall
so he's like 6"5?
7"?
@mild chasm in terms of base speed probably, but with movement mechanics such as bhopping, circle jumps, and strafe jumps into play dusk has to be the fastest
mild chasm
HUPs = Strafe jumps and whatnot
crimson folio
ahh
exotic ibex
dusk doesnt have circle jumping
crimson folio
it doesn't?
exotic ibex
no
frozen heart
mild chasm
I think that turok's diagonal run is about as fast as dusk's max speed bhops + strafe jumps
You can speed through levels pretty quickly with it
crimson folio
maybe turok's locked in fov makes it look slower
it's like playing ca in quake with 90 fov vs 125 fov

So does duskworld just have one game mode?
Or will there be more. I don't really care either way just curious.
jaunty meteor
The server browser screenshot showed 3 gamemodes, but I'm not sure if those were placeholders or not
I doubt that SoapWar will be a default gamemode :p
woeful sonnet
The only real problem I see with more than one game mode is that it splits up the playerbase and if the game ends up not having much of one finding a match for a specific game mode at any given time may be problematic
The best example for me is reflex
All the game modes I want to play nobody is playing and as a result I rarely ever touch it

As time goes on the playerbase would most likely gradually die down. Meaning less and less people playing. Making it even harder to join a game mode you'd enjoy
jaunty meteor
This is the first time I've ever heard of such an issue
hexed roost
It's more common among outlier playerbases.
Examples include games that have 300000000000 players, but only 200 play a certain mode.
Inverse would be the game of 200, but 20 of them only play a specific game mode while the others play the rest.
jaunty meteor
Having each gamemode be a "staple" of the genre would mitigate that problem, since most everyone would at least know what they were getting into, right?
hexed roost
A calculated risk
mild ginkgo
yeah and thats the idea
jaunty meteor
For instance, if you wanted 3 gamemodes, have them be DM, TDM, CTF, and no one is confused about what they're gonna get

I've experienced this with toxikk reflex
mild ginkgo
thats correct
hexed roost
Hmm what a great idea for three nice classic game modes!
jaunty meteor
It's not a very original idea, I know :p
jaunty meteor
Yeah! I more meant that there's room for flexibility in having more than one gamemode without worrying about compartmentalizing the playerbase
That said I also love wonky unconventional gamemodes and will totally give it my all in bringing one or two of them to Dusk
I feel like TFC's A/D gamemode would be a good fit, honestly

i wanna play as the zombie cows for my MP model (actually I kinda wish the zombie cows were something else, but that's me)

i think it'd be funny if they were like the nali warcows in MP
just kinda wearing a saddle-thing that holds their gun

fuck yes, i'd fucking play that :V

Oh my gosh I need this lol
fair mirage
heh

Yeah, I unironically played Nali warcows in U1
Unsurprisingly, I'm also the guy who plays nearly exclusively as the UT2004 Raptor model :V
but yeah, i'd like, i dunno, summoned or something. ...then again I kinda wish not-Hellknights weren't creepy grannies because i'm ~h a r d c o r e~ and think i know game design

I'm personally not excited about the Duke Brothers becoming normal enemies in EP2
Not a fan of bosses becoming fodder in general .-.

Dave is somehow the best and worst advertisement for new bloods

As far as appearance goes, yes

how is that even possible

idk, I like how "human" New Blood feels as a result
you don't get that corporate brick wall feeling

i get the feeling that dave needs to press the caps lock button again
jaunty meteor
Hey dave since the red mages were in the pax viddy can you take a screenshot of them
gleaming grotto
So I thought I heard our golden boy Dave referring to them as "Duke Bros" during the PAX presentation
prisma halo
exactly

Also, is it spoilers if they're enemies you technically already fought?

I'm happy the red mages are in, it's nice to have more enemies that'll be a threat at a distance
jaunty meteor
With crossbows and bolt action rifles being a thing, I think it's also important to have enemies that can engage you at long range

for low spec PCs and for good fps there's literally no better option right now than to buy dusk
multiplayer is going to be packed and active
going to have co op
going to have mods
lots of levels and replayability

i dont get it man why cant we have more of this
why arent other devs being as godmode as new blood rn
brisk schooner
the only few games ive sean mach this is quake and doom but only for mods
and fps
brisk schooner
......
crimson folio
only dusk and AMAZINGLY STILL amid evil
god these two games are a wet dream and i cannot believe these are actually happening
brisk schooner
the last and only thing i want is will there be any other modes
like strafe racing

I am right there with you @crimson folio

there's just nothing quite like these nowadays

or maybe a dusk port of the og tf2 mod
crimson folio
and you have to remember quakeworld is relatively tricky to setup and customize AND it's old as fuck which means very few veteran players that play
brisk schooner
counter dusk

back off destiny,overwatch,and even quake champions dusk is the true fps game

yesss
i've been using overwatch on ps4 to fill my fps needs when i'm not playing singleplayer quake mods or speedrunning quake 1
gleaming grotto
All those other fps games were fake
crimson folio
but dusk is here to reclaim it's throne
overwatch did for me what tf2 coudln't
a game where devs paid a decent amount of attention and polish was everywhere and it had a budget
gleaming grotto
Not fuck the game up with every update?
gleaming grotto
The moment overwatch introduced a button to look at your weapon skin is the moment I pack up and go
Or just leave my things where they are, as I don't play OW

How long have you been a mod? Is that new?

Let's just hope to god they don't switch to valve time
If that happens, they'll release episode 2
Then a decade later the writer will release the script for Dusk EP3
And then the voice actor for the Duke Bros will die

@atomic egret Done
I kept getting sidetracked so it took way longer than it should've

@crimson folio which level are you in?
if youre in e1m2 its understandable, that level has some performance issues
also if you could post some system specs that would be helpful
mild ginkgo
we're very dedicated to good performance, so ill do what i can to figure it out
crimson folio
you guys are the best fucking devs
no other dev gives a shit about performance man, this is how you get people to play your game

just trying to treat people how we'd want to be treated
