The guy who told him to grow up is reflux1k lmao

yeah
Yeah
I thought he was ban from steem

hahah
I mean HDOOM is pretty gr8
^
HDOOMguy isnt a cunt
I've been in his cytube quite a bit. He's a cool dude.
HDoomguy?
Yeah
yeah he seems like a super cool dude to talk to
just from what ive heard from zombie and seen on twitter

normies GTFO
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
suck it weeb
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DPyQIMwVQAAO1vq.jpg:large Meh, not scary enough. David is a hack.
http://image.dosgamesarchive.com/screenshots/redrides.png AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It's well known in the classic FPS community that Redneck Rampage is, by and large, the scariest game ever made.
(according to Steam)
lol who deleted the discussion
They love deleting everything that isn't 100% relating to the actual gameplay.
Mind the fact that a lot of games like Cuphead basically got to where they are with memes alone
QUESTION: there will be different playermodels for DuskWorld?
Is that an approved screen cap?
It is, now.
Who took this?
Dave, I think?
ah
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNaqOjlUIAAWWtR.jpg Hmm, so there is going to be a soap-based multiplayer mode.
Nice.
"dukworl"
so in other words players are going to hit each other with soap until they die
they gonna get very clean
Still waiting for the team-based mode where you have to take a physics object from the center of the map and take it back to your team's base to flush it down the team toilet.
that's all I can come up with
Flush you fools
uh
that means that private waves are out
that's probably the press i think
OR
it's bots
Dave, if everyone here thinks that Tweets from literally a month ago are breaking news...
that means it's time to shut down the twitter account
that flushing idea is pretty great lol
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cz7cj7fWIAA7frK.jpg BREAKING NEW SCREENSHOTS OF E2M5!!!!!!!!!
are you telling me
that a tweet from december 2016 is not breaking news
woah wait, the duskworld beta is live?
HAH
MIRRORS
Also Dave mislabeled that tweet, the level in question is E2M1
Also those are super early pics of the level, gosh DANG
Much nicer now with lots o' baddies
You just fall forever and have to kill all the enemies in freefall before you hit the ground.
I like mirrors, always fancied em'
Actually, that sounds kinda cool
I like how Dave liked my Team Fortress 2 plagiarism. We may see those hitscan lootboxes yet, people.
Next Duskworld beta wave when?
cancelled
Everything is cancelled 
When it's ready, there should be some more info in the coming weeks. The tests we've done with our extremely small group of players have went well and everyone has enjoyed themselves. We're sure you'll have the exact same reaction when you get your mitts on it.
Idk why, but I love the word "Mits"
Can't wait to get my Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Dusk.
Can we please make this the official glove of DUSK™?
Breaking news: Dusk is now famous enough to have its own subplebbit.

QUICK POST DACON3
:dacon3:
man lonestar64 really likes darts
Fuck, that reminds me that there's no dartboard anywhere at all in E1.
Guess someone's cancelling their pre-order, huh?
So if E2 started development in December 2016 and just wrapped up a few weeks ago...
It's important to remember that EP1/EP2 saw in-tandem development. As did EP2 and EP3
the part where you go on a date with unity chan was INSANE
Stop spoiling secrets, dick
Is E3 going to be a Sandy Petersen-styled crunch levelset?
That would be appropriate for the game's aesthetics.
Hey man, I didn't mean delete it.
lol, we just reversed time
i've played it
that part where you have to fax dave that furry porn was AMAZING
will go down as a legendary moment in gaming
Still waiting for David Szymanski's drunken livestream rant of him complaining about how New Blood's forced memes compromised his artisitic integrity and butched his creation TBH
nah
he would just moan about dusk development taking away time from his STALKER binges
I thought he would whinge about ken silverman and his damn broken systems
reminder that his baby is literally a meme
im not sorry for memeing lavender within hours of her birth
where the dusk key
@thorn trout knew what he was signing up for
lavender is a meme?
I bet David originally said no to making the soap overpowered, and then you guys just beat him with soap like in Full Metal Jacket, huh?
i'm gonna name my baby ocean breeze
oooooh that's right
cute ass baby though
What's going to happen in the future when Lavander winds up spending all your Dusk earnings on lootcrates for Star Wars Battlefront V?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt9he31mzEs Duskworld gameplay looking pretty good.
I'm going to be sad when the only servers are playing some shitty, beyond simple custom map
and the only weapons are shitty modded, unbalanced weapons that ruin the gameplay.
It's going to be a 1024x1024 square with a single 256x256 column in the middle and the only weapons are going to be miniguns that sound like garbage and kill in 0.2 seconds.
Also, it will have a Nine Inch Nails midi playing in the background that can't be turned off (because it's an ambient sound placed within the map)
Also, it'll use orange devbox textures for maximum suckage.
Everything you just described is basically the TF2 community. But I digress. Anyway, how's the Dusk season pass going along?
@dim valve So we need to make sure Dave doesn't add Devbox textures
where
WHERE DID YOU FIND IT
also how
just figured out how powerful the soap is
why is it so powerful
cuz
WHY CAN YOU THROW IT AT 0.000001 MPH AND HAVE IT GIB
was playing dusk when this happened, i was using the low palette mode and zooming in and out in the pit with the fan in old time religion. what
i don't know
by throwing your computer out the window?
as it turns out pausing while zooming can me dangerous
ok figured out how to recreate it
step 1: zoom in
step 2: while zooming, pause
step 3: uh oh
@prisma halo !!!!! HEY !!!!!! YO ~~~~
nani
@prisma halo HEY
I FOUND A BUG
when zooming in, pausing the game produces some kinda weird wall texture that takes up the entire screen, it stays like this when unpaused too,
give this guy some monies
oh I know what that is
that's the wall texture that's used when you shrink the HUD down
huh
I'll make a note of that, thanks
give this guy ownership of the server
i really want to ask if you and scott had thought about the lighting import yet, not doing it, but how to go aboutr that to not make it a pain in da ass
i'm really curious
so i assume that pausing while zooming fucks up an integer and basically turns the view into a teeny view, probably 1x1 pixels
i really can't wrap me had around it
lighting import?
fer DAWN
you mean loading the lightmap part of q3bsp?
Scott's actually already written code that loads lightmaps
akwardly sits in corner not knowing whats going on
the thing is that it showed us it's possible
@prisma halo forgot to mention it only happens in low palette mode
how do you think you/he could improve that?
Thanks, I'll add that to the note
I reproduced it on my end, confirmed
Not sure, I haven't personally seen that code
Level loading is a lower priority on the SDK list than some of the other stuff currently
i know
i just wanted to know how the hell it works and how you could hypothetically improve it
it's really interesting idk
As far as I know the main issues with it were with swapping lightmaps out at runtime or something
I don't remember, really
Would have to ask Scott
Improvements would just be "fix that" lol
obv
it's hard to remember who does what between you fuckers
btw i forgot to ask
what the hell is hank doing
i know he's OLDen
yes the main issue was runtime
one of the golden boys
it will be WAY easier if we dont have to do it at runtime lol
the previous solution ALMOST worked
can the devs be held responsable for any mental issues that occur while trying to speedrun duskmare?
@valid path srry i went back to playing after posting the gif, its by the secret blue key just walk off the cliff you find it on and turn around
Fancy
^
COMBINE THEM
[ ] // [ ] W H A T S T H I S ?
was able to swap to a nighttime lightmap froma sunset lightmap
SLAVE
but as you can see, doing this at runtime resulted in artifacts
light that bright green thing on the pole there

what this DID offer however was that the game loaded level literally instantly
and that playing multiplayer meant never having to go to a loading screen during map changes
dayum
but it was far too ambitious, and the feature was canned/put to the side
I dont remember that level being so bright
btw did you guys ever figure out how to mario kart
it wasnt so bright
thats a modified version, to play with swapping lighting at runtime
Ah... Ok
also how easy will it be to reskin the game?
@prisma halo UH OH I DISCOVERED ANOTHER BUG
When jumping you can crouch in mid air and hover. Demo: https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/HilariousMammothBarnswallow
I don't know why this happens. but i assume that crouch jumping was not taken in when programming movement.
^
wait really
rip
yes
why
theres a small amount of time where the player is uncrouching
it makes crouchjumping onto ledges easier
huh
also why is the super shotgun so op
because it feels good
Because it's the SSG
good enough
totally noticed they changed the audio code so you can't fuckin blast shit at once
BLAST THE SHIT AT ONCE!
to be fair
youve had your fun in ep1
ep2 will not allow you to use the ssg as a crutch so hard
no more running around with 50 shells at all times
Yup. Ammo won't be abundant anymore
Keep in mind that ep1 is designed as an introduction to the game
Tru dat
Can't wait to kick its ass
I'm planning to make a doomguy player model for DW in the future so I was wondering if any of you guys want me to give him those lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYVWRjvjCgM&t
Unused voice lines from the PS2 port.
What an odd voice. Just sounds like Caleb.
Can't watch videos atm. At work
Pffffffft. "dooooooooooooooom"
this is your work
its funny because this is basically the direction they went with for ranger in QC
If I had the option to refund qc I would tbh. Got kinda burned on it honestly
Oh, good point
nice spelling
3am shitposting is the best shitposting
and this is the right channel
bc dusk is a shit game!!!!!!!!!
I'll give the game another chance at launch. It's not fundamentally bad but just has some serious issues that ruin it for me
Anyways I'm gonna get back to my patrol. Laters
Take care
Dude is that Ancient Aliens 2
cutting it close
why hasn't andrew written a song for duskdude like sonic had in sonic adventure
woosh
Nameless City Escape
fucking
DUSKER MO HUMMMMMMMM
THERE'S A GAME THAT GETS ME HYPED
BUT YOU AIN'T PLAYIN IT
OH NO NO NOOOOOO
pulled on 500_pts's hair... stuck zombie's legs up in the air... and asked, you got any duskworld keys in there?
tweezers = soap
now is that a real dusk key or a dave dusk key?
ok uh question
will we be able to make playermodels
i'm going to give that a very, very big "we'll see"
because syncing/forcing custom content upon players comes with extreme liability
but we'll see, character models aren't something we've really looked into yet
steamid based "rewards" (aka punishments) are very likely
ah
if you tea-bag a dev on valentines day you unlock meatlass
i'm gonna be the game's first griefer
unless that douchebag from kotaku beat me to the punch
you already lost
you've been beaten
there can be only one
(the one is actually zombie)
however
for single player
go nuts
throw as many hl1 models intot he game as you want
zombie lost automatically because he's a wiki
ill give you the first letter of a dusk world key
let me break out the calculus kit
you didn't see nothin
first letter D
@crimson folio i never ran duskmare btw
thats what you get
the fact it makes 0 sense is what makes it for me
now that's what i call an incredible combination
Makes perfect sense to me
idkfa
lol
wellll
how embarrassing
nbshooters gives all weapons
idkfa gives all weapons, keys, and max health and armor
cheddarhead uninstalls the game and makes your dad drunkdial you from jail
or maybe that's just me
why doesn't iddqd work
devs
you hurt me on the inside
because thatd be too easy to guess
FURIOUSLY TYPES IDDQD IN A BLIND HOPE THAT IT WILL WORK
god mode is nbdaveneedshelp
so i heard that VR is SOON (tm) but will we be able to play DUSKWORLD (tm) in VR?
Do you want to puke
YES
look i have an oculus laying on my desk lemme be the playtester
jk
i'll probably be a massive failure at it and die 3 billion times
he plays with autoaim
Casual 
dave plays with auto-aim and hitboxes that are 16x larger than default
however he can do a mean kickflip and 50/50 boardslide
I'm playing this game rn called "Get Wolfenstein II to run at a solid 60fps"
It's really hard
simple solution
i'm playing this game
get an amd card and throw out the green team trash
called "watch and see if dave is ever funny"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nevarrrr
😈
Wow rood
love you
WHAT
thanks for the free specs btw
YOU CAN'T DO THIS
now i see everything in gold
midas vision
my life has turned into a giant game of deus ex HR and i LOVE IT
AE is double cancel
IT'S NOT TRUE
dank, I'm off to get wasted
Sick
FREEDOMMMM
delet
looks like superman in justice league lol
would post this in creative, but the MODS ARE ASLEEP
wait
nvm i'll just post it in creative
just did a cigar-only run of E1M3
ok what kind of bizarre speedrun modes can we make
cigar only, blindfold, controller only, mouse only, TANK CONTROLS
And I can't still understand what does the cigar do 🤔
@elfin coral it used to make you gain 1 morale
if you equip it for 40 years you get lung cancer
but it was removed for some reason
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGYhtpUbewU&feature=youtu.be footage of one of my cigar only speedruns
@rotund glen pretty good usage
it ain't official unless it's soap only
Aren't pacifist runs soap only by definition?
@valid path ULTIMATE BADASSERY
just run through the game with only the cigar and GET A FREE DUSK STEAM CODE
first of all you need a copy of the game before being able to run the game
and do that task
the key's for your friends
🗝 here's a free dusk key. just insert it into your steam lock™
I heard it was canceled.
cut the crap, a simple yes or no would suffice
it's cancelled
@thorn trout since everyone is being such a joker, are we still on for 2017?
we're going as fast as possible
i'm not the media, you can do a yes or no, i am a big boy, i can take it
there's no "yes or no" answer, if Dusk needs to be delayed, it'll be delayed
but that depends on when things finish
You aren't gonna get a solid answer from anyone other than Dave
we don't know yet
i'd expect this would be known 3 weeks prior to a possible release
to those asking for info about dusk's release date please wait for dave's announcement on the matter. until that happens none of us can provide any details outside of what is public information
^
see, that does it, thanks Avain!
Dave's the only one that can make an official comment
Dusk already came out but it was taken off shelves
it came out briefly in the summer of 2006 but you all missed it
it was out so briefly not even the David got a copy of it
i'll just take that as a no and move on
memes aside, no one knows currently
as we stated in the past we are aiming for end of 2017 but we'd much rather deliver a polished final game than rush things along
Daves got a post coming soonish
^^
But we need some things in place before we do anything
that post'll cover both dusk and duskworld in detail
And youll likely enjoy the things we are setting up
hype is just building up with the recent screenshot of ep3
really like the direction there
HE BETTER
I waited 17 years for dusk
INSERT ALL CAPS DAVE QUOTE HERE 
CHUR
anyone got a link to the Ep 3 shot?
thanks!

Avain, do you know anything about the release date of Dusk?
ep2 was finished in a period of time that describes the period of time in which ep2 was developed
xDD
Im more interested in how long it took for duskworld
While THAT is happening we've already begun work on MULTIPLAYER which we're looking to have in a playable state before we move on to Episode 2 development!
25 MARCH
But I'd rather w8 a long time then it to suck
same
I don't remember the context it's in, can you post the server browser image pls
it's 1 AM and I'm lazy
in all seriousness, duskworld has a very small impact on the release date of dusk, as @thorn trout spends every waking moment on the single player aspects
hes the only one capable of making dusk, dusk
does anyone know what changes by changing the difficulity?
I know of the movement speed and reload speed of the enemys
enemy movespeed, projectile speed, damage, fire rate, etc
i think armor absorption goes down as well?
and do the guns do more or less damage/do enemys get more or less health?
nope
that was important, the amount of time/effort to kill an enemy remains the same accross all difficulties
so you never feel weak
mega-thanks for that, btw
he is a dad now; all fears are eschewed
nice! 😃
those guys are jerks
@mild ginkgo so Blood difficulties more difficult than yours 🤔 
i don't blame you
I'm not that scared of wasps (except for if the're tryna kill me, then I naturally react as a girl xD) but the're my most hated animals after mosquitos
So, after doing some research I found out that changing difficulity changes
enemy:
- movementspeed
- projectile speed
- reload speed
- attackdamage
but doesn't do anzthing to the player, world or anything else
the ai doesn't change, the accuracy doesn't change, the damage taken doesn't change, etc.
and, except for the insta death, there is no difference between cero and duskmare
in other words, it's kinda stupid to have a speedrun leaderboard for anything else then all normal difficulities and duskmare
or you have to die in a speedrun, would never happen tho
amount of enemies?
you crazy boi
amount goes up?
yes
oh
also armor absorption goes down
okay
but I never died while speedrunning in any difficulity except for duskmare
but the amount of enemys can make a huge difference
nvm then
the amount of enemies does not go up
as I said earler, Blood's difficulties more difficult than DUSK's but i can be wrong
enemy placement stays the same
damn
Enemy attacks do more damage
Enemy projectiles move faster
Enemy attack rate goes up
Enemy movespeed goes up
and im not 100% sure tbh, but i think armor absorption drops to 25% from 50, and maybe the amount granted from pickups drops?
@thorn trout would remember probably
yup
i think health packs give you like half the amount
Hope we won't get something so annoying like hand from Blood
😄
Cero Miedo and Duskmare are the only canon modes
i love my racecar rednecks
drop respawn duration doesn't change eighter
👌
⑨
i wonder if there will be mod for making enemys revive them selves unless there gibbed
kind of like in duke 3dd with the respawning monsters unless they are gibbed
or like the zombie things in quake
I wonder if there will be parcour maps
i wonder 🤔
mod it in™
bhopping is easy, but hitting small areas while having to change your speed constantly and being able to regain it not so much
And of course crouch jumping
^
Someone will mod in defrag
Mod in de_dust
Play dust in dusk
Instead of C4 you're planting soap into one of the toilet sites
COUNTER CULTISTS WIN
Oh man, "capture the soap" as a gameplay mode
In order for it to work though there needs to be a way to make a timed trigger where if soap is placed on the toilet's flush hitbox it activates it by being there for 40 seconds
Or something along those lines
if you break the toilet with the soap it's an instant game over
I'm sure you can mod it in™
genius
yes we need a 1 flag 2 caps mode
where the caps in the base are toilets
the flag is soap
and you have to flush the soap in the enemies toilets
👍
y'know what Dusk should totally have?
exit-game messages
"hey don't go, there's still cultists to kill"
"what's the matter mommy is calling you for dinner?"
shit like that
flush the soap comes first though

@crimson folio we were actully talking about something like that just earlier today infact
so PROBABLY™
Leaving already? That's not very chur of you.
" The sequel will be cancelled if you leave now"
"I needed to seek answers in the nameless city" "I had to go on" "it is too much for the human mind to bear"
^^
"Momma always told me, "Don't drop the soap.""
It was when I was searching for secrets in E1M1 on my first play through that I accidently discovered both soap and working toilets.
And I thought to myself, "My, it really is astonishing to see how far video games have come."
To bad its the first game in whats gotta be like 6 or so years to do it.
Its sad that my statement was at least half genuine feeling.
I was actually excited for no real reason to discover that you can flush things down the toilet.
Genuine excitement....
500_pts, I'm digging that crossbow video. It's giving me ideas on how to plagiarize Portal for some custom maps.
Script some portals to activate in order to redirect some rockets into a destructible wall or something.
Shit, you could make an underwhelming ID-style boss that way.
No, this is #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk
Knowing dave not for long it aint
i wish someone did Krieg from Q3TA to dusk world
if the model editor is user-friendly i will do him
and Crash, Cadavre and Biker too
Sigrun sux rekt nerd
@gleaming berry hes fiting you
DO NOT @ DAVE

OH SHIT
If you @ Dave Lain beats you with a switch for 4 hours while nickelback plays in the background
as in LIVE nickelback
He beats you with a switchfor 4 hours live onstage with Nickelback
Not a nintendo switch by the way
That was confirmed like, 5 months ago. Maybe more.
was confirmed at reveal lel
post launch
There are tentative plans to include configurable moving brushes similar to Quake's "func_train" and Source Engine's "func_tanktrain" entities, which will allow for platforms that move in fixed non-linear patterns, and potentially more ambitious concepts such as rudimentary vehicles.
Nice.
We'll be finally able to drive the tractor covered in decals, I take it?
Shadow Warrior style vehicles with massive screw off cannons on them would be hilarious and great
I want to drive a toilet with exploding barrels for wheels and a cannon that shoots soap.
I want to be able to grab other players and flush them down toilets in multiplayer :p
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjeXNraXVwE Good news, then.
It's like the Dark Souls of toilet based combat
Ha
I mean, in multiplayer, stuffing an enemy face first into a toilet and giving them an ultra swirly while they're alive
It prolly won't happen but its funny to think about
I'm still holding out hope that David will add in the ability to flush live enemies
That's actually how you find the secret level in E2
You flush yourself down the toilet
Haha
Ever see the movie "Flushed"?
Its an animated movie about a posh pet rat getting flushed down a toilet
Portal to the nameless city is a giant eldrich toilet.
Its a clay stop motion if I remember correctly
Still waiting for that Urea 51, tribute, David. https://youtu.be/748FIR_qs7I?t=2m36s
This is episode 3, Shrapnel City, level 8, Urea 51 of Duke Nukem 3D on the Sega Saturn. Now, this is the infamous level, Urea 51, the level that made the Sat...
Tommorow is December and we were promised Dusk by the end of the year. Any release date yet?
Tomorrow
Yeah leaked info
Excuse? Dusk is cancelled
Oh wait do you actually believe me?
Yeah
You've been bamboozled
Oh sorry homie I was just clowning
Dusk will be released in 1996 once the team finishes the time machine
Fucc
It was pretty shitty bait though so I am to blame for that
I had a feeling this game would be like HL3 or Duke Nukem

Fucc dusk I wanna play amid evil
^ same
Nah FUCC amid evil
This was my very first speedrun so I hope you enjoyed! DogeLand: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1FvNK8ez2UaUA-V-GZgAaA Steam Group: http://steamcommunity....
My speedrun wasn't good but I don't care
Dusk 2 in India?
NAH, DUSK IN AMERICA
so here's a question
just an idea im kickin around
what if dusk went into early access with ep2 and duskworld
what would your reaction be
dusk episode 1 gets updated with episode 2 and 3 and Dusk never gets released
but the game would be complete at that point and it would be released
with steam achievements, trading cards, etc
but it would always be launched as dusk episode 1
no, that would go away
you'd just have dusk
you'd have ep1, ep2, dw beta to hold you until launch
~hypothetically~
They should just officially release it like they promised!
Don't rush Dusk to satisfy the impatient Steam crowd.
Take your time and make it the best retro FPS ever
Guys what are dusk's texture sizes?
64x64?
I mean on the monsters and such
see, that's the thing, the thought behind the idea was that if EP1 and 2 are in a state to be shown, why keep that from you if we're taking our time?
I would love you forever
in addition to opening up DWs beta gates
That's what I think of your "hypothetical situation"
something to think about, viscera for thought
™
at least you wouldn't have to hear "soon" anymore
(just kidding you totally will)
Early access would probably create even more critics than if the game were just delayed in the first place.
People would accuse New Blood of making promises they couldn't keep.
my mom always told me, if you tell the truth and are honest, you ain't ever gonna be in trouble
Wouldn't really matter too much, in theory duks comes out in like, a month.
You start up E2, but it's just a textured wall with the opening view of E2M1 and it drops you down a huge pit where you land and see the words

oh god
It would be funny if they release it on December 31st
I mean they said it’d be out by the end of the year
I remember when GGGmanlives reviewed Wrack, he got really mad that it was originally going to be released in episodic DLC installments.
Then, when news dropped that the DLC was cancelled, that game went up in flames.
I just think if Dusk came out in, say, March 2018 and kicked major amounts of ass, no one would complain.
heh well DUSK aint coming in 2017
and Valve suggests Early Access
and we can give you Episode 2 and Duskworld
and give all the pre order buyers something extra
for supposrting us first
so I DUNNO
also it would be nice to have reviews and idk some sales
Idk if the whole "Early access" thing would cause any real problems
I mean not if theres a bunch of content and a roadplan to release which would be pretty soon after
at this point it's looking like Feb/March for full release
and we do need to make the DuskWorld beta more available for wide testing
so Early Access would help
I mean, isn't "Ark: Survival Evolved" still in early access? That games still going strong even after releasing DLC...
I think Episode 2 and Duskworld as Early Access might be good, and maybe some of the "post release" could be added on to the "release" build.
it would all be on the same app id instead of 3 separate apps like it is now
yeah we were thinking that too
if full release included the sdk and stuff
but no promises there
we were thinking maybe Mac/Linux on release
Even if it was just "We want to test the balance of Episode 2 and DuskWorld, then add Episode 3 for release" I think it would be fine
thats the idea
well you do have QA I guess
also valve isn't thrilled we're still taking pre orders with no release date
That could be a problem
in hindsight we should have been early access from day 1 but A. We didn't know it would take this long and B. we didn't know people would like the game this much
so we were hesitant to put out ep 1 as EA
but now like
we know people just want more
this stuff would be HEAVILY QA'd before it went to you
you would only get perfection
hell yeah
Yesh!!
also it would be nice to have really good reviews coming out of early access
so people know the game is good right when they hit the store page
we go hard on the testing bit, trus me
and we'll probably give all pre order buyers the Digital CE for free
Did you mean it's going to be "as done as episode 1? Or released out like Epsiode 1?
so they don't feel jebaited
Tbh, I got excited when I heard of Dusk in early 2016.
jabaited
like Episode 1 is pretty final and perfect with no bugs
so Episode 2 will be the same way
not like Early Access Ep 2
like final ep 2
OIC
just in EA
Gib peepl a good impression and they'll come in droves I suppose
I mean that's what Valve recommends and we think it's prob the best course of action
plus then we might get featured etc
MONEY WOULD BE NICE
DO IT
Are Valve actually talking to you on this stuff? I didn't think they got that invested with games
even tho we hate money
I think having positive outpouring while in EA would actually potentially give Dusk some good marketing as well
Because generally games get criticized to hell and back for being EA
you love it you slegs
Yeah I mean if Dusk has like OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE reviews while in EA people will have to notice and we'll totally get featured on the store
yeah I talked to our Valve rep on the phone today
B U S I N E S S
he was like "Hey bro whats all this SOON stuff"
keep in mind
I was like EHHHHH YOU SAW THAT EH
ea would last like, 2 months
Sounds good to me
That sounds like a fun scary conversation
its not actually a big deal
yeah we'd probably do Early Acess and announce a release date
I mean the Valve biz devd dues are cool
we so no reason to hold this stuff back from you guys if it's ready
either way you have to wait lol
also I really want to get DuskWorld on the same app and out there for early testing
yes
like if we have 30k people jump in on launch day
the current way we have duskworld is a huge pain
Question, does endless map 2 launch with E2?
yah
:D
haha, that's a great question
neaaaatttt
new blood is a cool dude and so is dusk tbh
yeah so like the early access update would be Episode 2, Endless map 2 and DuskWorld open beta - all on one app
thats the idea anyway
and like
January
well DuskWorld waves like next week
but like OPEN beta and EA January
then full launch prob feb/march
So 2 months for EA and 4 months for full release? Ish
but we're getting LURKERS in
no no no
its december
like 1 month to ea, and after that, like 2 to full release
^
Oh. Noice
Well at least it seems to be closer than cough Black Mesa Xen
I mean the game is almost done
"almost done"
I bet we beat Black Mesa lol
it really is almost done
very exciting
"almost done"
10 LEVELS TO GO
ALMOST. DONE.
but we're over the hump for sure
So... the game is going into early access
10 MORE LEVELS
Well looky there, Black Mesa on their last chapter, DuskDevs on last chapter
RACE TO THE DEATH
I dont
we can change that
I mean that's the idea right now
I just cant wait to play more
Instead of EA the game will be pushed back for 10 years
Cancelled
Then pulled out of the abyss
no, the game will come out the same release window no matter which path
cancle
one just means you get more content sooner
it's just a question of
Then created again from scratch by a less worthy company for another 11 years
"do you want episode 2 now"
^
yes
thats about right
Yeah I mean Dusk is coming out in like feb/march right now regardless
yeah super important to note here that EA for Dusk is not a delay tactic.
Personally I can wait but the majority probably wants it right now
we want to do what YOU GUYS WANT
The only reason it's not coming 2017 is because it's not done, EA or not it wouldn't be out this year
we want to know what you think
i really want to play 2 and 3 back to back
so voice it
also dont forget you guys are a small minority. Theres 7k people who own DUSK and 30k people wishlisted who arent in here
you have the oiption of WAITING to play
EA is up on the table if you guys want it, think of it as consolation for 2017 not happening
