ye ye. I'm playing through Unreal Gold for the first time too. I'm trying to appreciate it for what it is but my heart is with id/build shooters. :p Love the visuals tho. And staying on topic... DUSK is good. ❤
yes,we all agree that Dusk is a great game 
Also Pixelization x4 is my new jam. Looks good.
Need to run through ep 1 and 2 in Intruder Limited Palette Chunky Mode
DUSK soundtrack on vinyl when? kappa
Valve takes 30%. Christ that's highway robbery.
I wonder how much Sony or Microsoft takes from their store.
I just looked at Dave's reply now.
im pretty sure free updates on xbox/ps are pretty expensive if you wanna update the app
It's about the same
Whats morale for?
It's armor.
remember to use beds in game
I finished my first playthrough of the first episode and got completionist on every level
Nice job!
Two Observations: 1) Dusk runs quite well using wine 2) Having no mouse makes the game harder
Doom style
hell yeah
Bought Dusk a while ago, haven't played it until a week ago.
I regret not playing it earlier.
Avain mentioned a "nice surround setup" earlier in this thread, but I'd just like to point out that so far, Dusk only seems to output 2.0 because it didn't work when I tried CMSS-3D Headphones. Even Ziggurat worked with it slightly.
On a side note, I really dig the new SSG and AR sounds
Still gotta play E2, tho
WE EARLY ACCESS NOW BOIS 💵 💵 💰 🔫
Yeah those bummed me out tbh
Don't worry, all the invisible walls will be replaced with billboards for The Grandfather in the final release.
Invisible walls are better than none and having people cry because they left the map, smh
A NEW RECORD!!!
I had 3k
Is it still a humblebrag if you use an emoticon?
Also, v-sync is a thing if it gets to the melting point I guess
k
To be fair they were way too generous with the lack of invisible walls in EP1
E1M3's lack of barriers would be considered a bug by almost any other studio :p
Other studios suck
Damn, E2's really brought out the walls of text from everyone.
Looking at you festive.owl
Just let me be free stinky non visible walls
There are some parts where invisible walls are necessary. I try to avoid them when possible (and even when not ideal as in ep1) so every time there are invisible walls rest assured there's a good reason
You know those mid-2000s games where there would always be a hallway with 2 doors and only one of them is unlocked?
Make E3 be all that
Ugh no lol
I look forward to the snow level
David already likes Daikatana, I wouldn't be surprised if he liked Sonic 06 as well
I once saw an unironic Sonic 06 fan in the Steam Doom forums. He suggested Doom 2016 2 have a Crisis City level
Not even joking
Naw 3D sonic games are meh at best
Daikatana has some awesome levels
And really neat environment details/design
The use of flowing water in ep2 is still one of my favorite things
Sverre Kvernmo for Episode 4 level design when?
Actually, quite a few Master Levels designers did Daikatana level design.
No wonder why you like it so much.
Damn, John Anderson did AI for SWAT 3 too
There are nuggets of genius in the game ☹️
Pavlock did e1dm2a which if it had been in a quake game would be regarded as an all time classic :)
that's true of a lot of Daikatana levels
it runs circles around Quake 2 in terms of interesting varied environments
Oh shit, we're getting collectors edition if we bought before christmas? Sweet
although like most things from that time it was erring on the side of forward progression as opposed to interesting loops/interconnectivity which is unfortunate
@delicate hatch yup! And if you buy any time before early access I believe
@gleaming berry can confirm
I bought my copy sometime in October or November I think, will I get it automatically or do I have to redeem it somehow?
You will automatically recieve everything
Once it's ready, you should recieve the majority (if not all) of this stuff through Steam.
steam forums i think
If you load a quicksave when you have a power up enabled you lose the power up
^^
That's known, it would be far too difficult to keep the state of the power-up through save. To mitigate that issue, all power-ups should respawn upon load.
Did you get stuck because you loaded a save and didn't have the power-up to continue?
ah no
I just got the hallowed health in the first level of ep 2
by climbing the wall
then saved and loaded and whoosh
so tl;dr it's a feature?
Having the power-up respawn on load sounds like it'd be abusable, wouldn't it? "Press quickload for free superhot in the middle of skylab", that sort of thing
They respawn in their original location, you'd have to go back and get it again. If saving/loading/back-tracking for a power-up can be abused, then well...
We'll look into it then haha
Well it occurs to me that the game is still in-development
and it has a somewhat small community (certainly not the following a triple a game would get)
so i should probably give feedback some time
@jaunty meteor it's only the climbing powerup that does it
Oh, I might've misunderstood; that's a relief then
unless something is very wrong
Is dusk supposed to be a speedrunner game? It kinda seems like that
it's supposed to be all the things
there's an emphasis on speedrunning though, especially for people who aren't usually speedrunners
but overall every level is a playground of sorts, that you're supposed to get to know and experience in whatever way is most fun for you
be that rushing through like a madman or taking your time to find secrets and experiment with different things
:D
in an alternate timeline where I have more resources and energy that tractor would totally be driveable.
The day the SDK is released, someone may try
Giveaway b*tches!
YES, got mine today via e-mail
Another wave is going out today, another chance at keys, no need to be sad
does the dusk collector's edition change for preorder copies apply to all copies bought in 2017 or only those before dec. 24
how do i tell if I have the collector edition
oh oops
did you buy the game before christmas?
youll get all the CE stuff when the game is fully done and whatnot
If you bought the game before Dec 25th
i want nudes in the meantime
You will get it
I just finished ep1
Ep 2 is better and harder glhf
I got spooked when the second expiriment came out
Ur supposed to laugh when that happens
I thought it was another one of those button puzzles
yup!
literally the whole reason there's a 4 button puzzle to open the boss door (in addition to building up the encounter) is to prep you for seeing 6 buttons and going "oh lord another button puzzle"
then
BOOM
second experiment
one of my finest moments
Funny jokez
2nd experiment is great
👁
@gleaming berry @thorn trout Can you guys add something like this to the menu screen?
feel free to use my mock up lol but i understand if you want remake it with actually art
I am touched you think anything in Dusk qualifies as "actual art" :3
The whole game is art fam
👍
is binding something to multiple keys possible via ini?
also scroll wheel up and down be bindable?
just use a , or ;?
can it be possible
also still going to push my idea for being able to dip TP in toilets or turned on sinks and stick to roof
hmm
I hope we get 3rd party expansions like "Dear Esther Island with guns" and "Shoot the house from ANATOMY"
I'm waiting until the game comes out to play it ahhh
@gleaming berry Big Box Dusk when?
Look at the final boss ass HQ
whomst deleted the boss ass hq
i did
I was gonna save it 😦
kinda poor taste imo
you were using a filtered word in your name
you had a commonly used slur
wow dusk toilets have insane pipes can flush two rolls of tp at once no problem with out clogging
Now I'm curious as to what it was
where can I find a list of my past names
or just dm me the first two letters it just ring a bell
can i touch the door?
if you give me duskworld key yes
are brutalist churches forbidden?
anyone have any good dusk wallpapers?
it was the cementerio de laprida
kinda struck me as bad taste
But... it's a place, that's real?
the picture you linked was, yes
and it totally did look like a final boss base. Plus aren't all graveyards the real final boss?

Yes
there's some pretty heavy duke inspiration in e2
It'd also be cool. Not to get sued :D
k
k
meh everyone references e1m1
I will be seriously surprised if there is no doom e1m1 mod
Yeah exactly
the entirety of e1 even
It's like, just bound to be done
same with hollywood holocaust
tired: e1m1
Wired: Club Doom
i forgot about club doom
Hollywood holocaust might be the best intro fps level ever
^
It's so incredibly good
I loved how duke3d had realistic locations at first, but act2 and 3 are so weak after 1
That level doesn't get enough credit
it is very hard for me to pick between Doom and Duke level design
the level design in thy flesh consumed sucked
Doom levels are more expressive and ambitious, Duke's levels are tighter
well, the good Duke levels
Thy Flesh Consumed is great fuck you
@crystal vessel thy flesh consumed sucked for me
Episode 1 of DOOM is perfection.
but hh is an awesome LEVEL level
still one of the best examples of balancing that tightrope between linearity and nonlinearity
Red Light District imo is fantastic as well
although maybe not as sophisticated
I never really liked rld tbh
SHAKE IT BABY
the bunny song
fake dem bones?
kitchen ace and taking names
for doom 2 it’s fake dem bones and final doom is legion of the lost
don’t forget about into sandy’s city
I've always liked intermission
The original was recorded by Michael Massay on a Roland SCC1 sound card. This song was created by Bobby Prince using MIDI software for ID software on the gam...
best remix of intermission
Atomic Take: Doom 4's Djent was only ok
I think the 3do soundtrack is the best official doom soundtrack
I actually like the slower speed of it
which song is from the level that's basically a flippin Archvile maze?
did that just reused the d1 ending music?
i hated that map, so much
Speaking of Final Doom, anyone else do the map packs for Spear of Destiny?
honestly, spear is a lot better. But i also hate ep 4 for having legit failstate in wolf 3d
fuck the mutants
I know it makes me a filthy casual, but I don't think games should have intentional failstates
Unless it's like morrowind and they straight up tell you
I don't mind Hunted
or as i like to call it
Archviles are ez
DOOT 2
i have them on steam, but i don't know if i played it
Best Doom Mod boys?
Reelism
beautiful doom+maps of chaos+IDKFA soundtrack=doom redux
Now I want Reels for DUSK endless
temple of the lizard men?
Unloved is a good wad.
I tried ancient aliens and honestly I just got kinda frustrated. Looked nice tho
zen dynamics
deadline is cool looking, but f that invisable enemies stuff
tbh i will never understand why brutal doom is very popular
psx doom is best doom
Doom 64 would have been great if the 64 controller wasn't a garbage fire
you can play doom 64 on a pc
yea, but I just meant the original version
ok
Do we know if dusk is goin to have mod support?
ye ye it will. post release
It will be VERY heavy mod support
"02. TrenchBroom is the "officially" supported mapping tool, but that doesn't mean others won't receive support or testing." WOT? alright alright alright alright alright
Oooo baby I hope all the Quake regulars get on some DUSK. :p
Arcane Duskmensions - oh yes please!
Intoxigator plushy!
I'd buy that
Same
Yes please
meat lass sex doll please
wtf
Wendigo body pillow when
big john body pillow
Ooooo a wendigo
leatherneck plushie with chainsaw
I'd probably end up buying a leatherneck
cowgirl doll special sale: pay for one, get the twins
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I beat episode one today and found the secret lol, that was one of the greatest moments I've had in a game in a while
which secret exactly?
I should have said the secret on the final level, sorry.
I worded that very poorly haha
<@&242930927347433472> <@&240219175396704256> can I get an invite link to my dm's my friends having issues joining this
i'm not sure what you're asking here :x
a group invite
for the discord?
yes
thanks
in the future, ask the mods first before pinging the admins
yeah that link is permanent, the discord.gg/newblood
since we're a partner, that link is custom and static for our channel
yeah sorry bout the admin ping

DUSK - Pre-Purchase OfferPLAY EPISODE 1 AS SOON AS YOU PRE-PURCHASE DUSK!https://youtu.be/Flduv46BT78About the GameDUSK reintroduces you to a world where butchery and bloodshed must be mastered if you're to survive 'til dawn. Inspired by Quake, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Half-Life, Redneck Rampage and all your '90s favorites, and featuring a soundtrack by metal music mastermind Andrew Hulshult.In THREE distinct campaign episodes hand-crafted from straight outta the '90s, players battle through an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants and even darker forces and attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the earth. Featuring a vast arsenal of badass weaponry including saw blades, dual-wielded shotguns from 1887 and an incredibly necessary grenade launcher, DUSK is unapologetic retro action from start to finish.In addition to the main campaign, DUSK features an Endless Survival Mode, putting you front and center of wave after wave of enemies. For those looking for an extra challenge, DUSK also offers the chance to go head to head online to battle your friends in arena multiplayer, where darkness hosts the worst of humanity in surprising new ways.
So basically no. Kinda lame, I'll check back in on us this game in 6 months when it's still in EA.
It won't be in ea for that long lol
But do what you please
i mean
2/3 of the finished game is out
lmfao
plus the auxiliary multiplayer component
he a bitch
Oh well
jab and i for once agree: that fucker was a true ch*ddarhead
Imagine being pissed because video game isn't finished
star citizen?
half life 3?
did half life 3 even started in development?
Yea
Then they stopped
not shit in my eyes but not living up to hl1
mad priest ftw
half life 2 was my favorite loading screen simulator
the NB merch storre's coming SOON™
life-sized scarecrow
Do you guys have social media, and if so, is it under your game company's name?
yup, you'll find us as "new blood interactive" on most social media platforms
👍
8.5/10
hell yeah
time to waste more money on new blood bullshit
it's a hate/love kinda thing
I got a 3D printer for Christmas so I might try printing dusk models
I dont know if its been said yet but do you guys know about the bug where if you die then quicksave before hitting E, you respawn and all bosses are at whatever health you left them on. For instance the final boss killed me, then attacked my corpse and blew itself up. When I quicksaved and respawned it was still dead
you got

you can blame the dusk speedrunners for that
MAN I SIURE NEEd SLEEP BUT ITS LIKE 4 BILLION DEGREES
relateable giw
fuckin cheddarheads
so on the topic of 3D printing dusk models
I’ll give it a shot
as soon as I can get it assembled
6 hours worth of pain

Didn't we ask you guys about what you think about savehovering too?
X)
that my friend try to use my profile,lol
It's okay man, roblox is a solid game
Hey, I’ve played Roblox for a long time lol
oof
OOF indeed
OOOOOOF
tbh I always heard it as OOOH
ill make one then
I got bored of Roblox
i played a lot between 2008-2010
god I think I have a REALLY old account with like 500 robux on it
until i discovered minecraft
then i played minecraft until terraria came out
then starbound
Never played roblox
oof
starbound is amazing with the right mods
but they've just been sitting there collecting dust
I played mine craft for years and eventually lost interest
Same
these creator games bore the hell outta me
yeah looking back on em now minecraft just seems boring
but then again I have trash tastes
Lmao
NO MANS BUY
I wish Minecraft was on steam so I could see how much time I wasted on Minecraft
I would not like to see that
Must have been like at least 1000 hours
I would just get depprest xD
Probably say more
Lol
I see your a man of culture aswell
End this man
I have many things in all those +200 games in my Steam library
that's pretty trash jab
^
😂
tbh I really wanna watch some anime but I don’t know what ones to watch
i've got a recommendation in that case
Hentai
I have never watched a singel anime
none of them
cause that's what dusk is
IM DOIN IT
Oh
anime fuckin sucks
Shit

no
:]
I saw one of those at meijer yesterday and thought of you, Kooch
I am the rebellest rebel here is
thank you
@graceful wing moi moi
@valid path if you ain't been banned

club dacon3 members are the rebels
HOORAH GAMERS
DIOS MIO
Stop it

^

It’s time to stop
sorry
Delet me

delet me off of the earth
Delet yourself

Look at this fucking weeb closet furry

:(
delet yourselves over to #bnnuy-and-the-jits
kk
ok
That's the level I'm waking up to
I had a hard time finding that door, i thought i was going insane
it turns out it was exactly where i thought it was, i was just blind
literally went back and forth past it like 4 times
“Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...”
― Terry Pratchett
He was truly a COOL DUDE™
mayherestinpeace
PUBG released in 2017 so... chances are DUSK will be next 2018 GOTY
just saying
i bet some game that no one likes is gonna be goty for 2018
I haven’t played it. I am super on the fence about playing it
On one hand, duh, it is out and I wanna play it. On the other, I know I’ll have a better experience if I wait for all 3 and do one big play through
XD
I'll probably crack sooner than later, tbh. I just remeber being brutally disappointed at the end of Ep. 1 that there wasn't any more to play lol.
tbh it's really not that good, the whole genre is kinda stupid
@crimson folio review my dick pics; thx in advance

WHOMST'D wrote this article must confess to their sins
Dusk, the direct sequel to Rocket League, ditches the cars AND the sports motif. Very bold move!
That's pretty bad lol
wait i thought dusk was the spiritual sequel to the original quake?
if you want a sequel for Blood just look up some of the popular map packs they made for that game
Dusk is the spiritual sequel to Half-Life 2
dusk reminds me of quake
no no dusk is the spiritual sequel to Battlefield Heroes
kids nowadays
what in the shit
very obviuos troll
still hurts to look at tho
oh allright
ill call the inqusition
"hey stop taking screenshots of my youtube comments, you pinkos"
k
Just joined up but, has anyone else had their screen stuck with the pause menu after pausing?
i meant unpausing hah
But yea, after unpausing I have a texture stay up on my screen until i ? zoom in i think
This is a known issue
yeah that’s been there for ages
wonder what happens behind the scenes when that goes on
I figured ya'll knew about it but just wanted to make sure.
Thanks 👍
Anytime
hey everyone im new here 👋
Hi dude
so hows the game
Do you like retro FPS games?
yes does doom count
Yeah I think you'll like it :)
Well it's kind of the king of retrofps so yeah doom counts lol
i f*cking love it
game is total shit
rip
better play cod
i do but i most play with friends on zombies
If you like doom, or quake, there's a high chance you'll like dusk
UNWORTHY
or someother fps with "cinematic expierience"
i love it
ONLY TRUE GAMERS CSN ENJOY DUSK
Dusk is purpose built for retrofps fans
jk ofc Dusk is GOTY
im trying to get duskworld
i filled the application
and i did that to
you're well on your way, ganer
so if dusk is possibly getting vr support then would duskworld also get vr?
the secret behind the blue door on E1M8 just gave me a goddamn heart attack
why?
Careful with spoilers in this channel, #345953464720949250 is the place for that, not that I see any spoilers here yet
^^
x0 for mod
Episode 1 spoilers are fine.
ok
Oh lmao yeah I assumed that was some e2 talk
But yeah there was some e2 stuff in here earlier, nothing spoiler tier but just a reminder to be careful
everyone after dusk gets released https://youtu.be/3vF5KX9b8UY
Do you know what Plankton knows? I do. THE LINK TAKES YOU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynO0oTlL__c
You will eventually :)
You will very soon. 900+ have keys. < 300 left in the pool. Biggest limiting factor is valve keeping up with our key demand
#givekeystoduskdevsvalve
@potent kestrel 20!8
@vague egret <300 keys left or people who signed up left
Okay, thanks for the quick response
We have like 1.2k total applicants
Thats cool so much people are interested enough to join discord and sign up
Keep up the good work!

reddit is a saltmine anyways so that's not surprising
People really see Early Access in a badlight
Keep doing what you guys do though EA wont matter
Can I still get the deluxe edition if I preorder before the Early Access update?
i'm not 100% sure about that actually since it's past xmas
@zealous bridge you know the date?
I think the deluxe edition for pre-orders stopped at Christmas IIRC
At least I think that answers the question? lol
Yeah, that's what I read too, but I didn't see an option for preordering the deluxe version
A man can hope
yea i'm pretty sure that deal has sailed at this point
Makes sense from the wording really. Oh well
x0 and kooch are the kingpins of dusk
deny this and you will face the pit
dw i believe it
I deny it
kooch you are the pablo escobar of the nb discord
or el chapo
yes
you have entered the pit
darn
thinking about making a single player episode
i don't know if this has been asked before, but will there be resources for level building released? like maybe after the whole things put together?
piso mojado mod when
soooooon
Hey, guys
Idk if this has been reported or not, but if you die while zoomed, you respawn locked into the zoom, and you have to un-zoom.
Okay, cool.
Gib behavior is flawless.
I love old school gibs.
What's morale do?
Is it like armor?
mhm
Yeah
I am late to the chat, @vague egret, and also just bought DUSK the day before yesterday, but I didn't recieve an email, I believe.
just got unlucky with the key waves. right now we're waiting on valve to give us more keys
its only thing preventing us from letting the remainder of the pool in
^^^
Cool beans, yeah I'm glad you guys are active with dishing out keys, I figured I'd be waiting a long time 😃
they are too busy with the sales right now
Only game I bought was DUSK lol I own everything else that looks good / is on sale
I was going to buy a dozen or so Steam Links and sell them later
❎ 1⃣2⃣
Dusk isn’t shy about its reverence for 90s FPS classics like Quake, but it’s been long enough since the last old-school shooter revival that I don’t think anyone’s about to complain. Folks have been playing the first episode of the game since the preview went up as a preview bonus, but there’ve been some significant changes to how the rest of the game is getting released. Want games that are actually old? Check out the best old games on PC.
you on the news
again
That article is full of typos
meh
every second counts in games media
But I get it
oh well
Pretty much every media outlet is full of typos
I'm not convinced it isn't some conspiracy to piss me off
I much rather put out something once and be done with it rather than editing the hell out of it multiple times cause I couldn't be bothered to get someone to look it over
Eh. Getting articles out quick it starting to not be as important
Since we're more focused on specific personalities and opinions now
That's annoyingly true
It's fine to have opinions, but like, if you hate jrpgs then review Persona 5 and say it's shit, go fuck yourself
could someone please tell me how to pass e2m4?
im stuck at the place with the climbing powerup with the staircase around it
Read the sign on the wall
I haven't play ep 2 yet REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
play through me
👍
💪🙏
❤ 👌 😍
👌🏻 
Is there a reason I can't install episode 1? It seems like I only have access to episode 2
Just prepurchased on Steam
combined package
Ah, ok, thanks
In the future, could you include an option to disable walking/jumping animations and left/right rotating of viewmodels seperately?
The latter kind of annoys me
damn
In the second level of episode 2 someone wrote "fuck you" in blood
fuck you right back pal
i like the do a flip in i believe the second level of ep 2
its on top of a tall ass tower thingy
that's in e2m1
I like the "you aren't supposed to be here, go away" messages
From what I've seen a lot of the game is much further refined in ep2
i had a handful of complaints about ep1 (which i would have to write out in a feedback structure instead of just nitpicking everything) but ep2 is pretty much what doom 64 is to the original doom games from what i've seen - the designers now have level design down to a science while they were less experienced creating the original
^
ep1 you're seeing the first true level design I've ever done so yeah
outside of boxed rooms with a fuckton of filters
lmao
shush Jab
oh sorry
I just checked out the first level of episode 2, and I agree with Super Luigi above, episode one was a learning experience- great to play, but not perfect- and episode 2 the devs really seem to be letting loose with their ideas. It sure will be fun playing through these new levels
sometimes theres a staircase
seriously fuck off
that's not even friendly banter
that's just being mean, jab
lmao
Is episode 1 still in development?
Like, if actual feedback were to be given, would anything change?
It's too... video gamey... if only there was a larger narrative, and gameplay were curtailed in favor of a linear story-based adventure..!
dave i'm workin on another ep
i'm doing it
and it's ghonna be called FINGERBONES 2
yes and yes
Yup, post-launch there will be an SDK with modding/mapping support
@reef pecan yes
HDusk: The way it was meant to be played
we need HQuake first
http://the-goddamn-doomguy.tumblr.com/post/165940155030/remember-this-girl [Mildly nsfw but it shouldn't matter too much. it's contained in a link]
Hotter take: 🔫
:O
that's only because you can go ham with the SSG
its like 1%
I prefer Pirate Dusk
hottest take, i prefer ROTT 1.6
hotter take, I prefer Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza
Is there not an SSG in ep 2?
but i think that ep1 locales appeal to me in a nice way, and make a lot of logical sense
EP2 feels better than 1 to me because you actually can use the crossbow/hunting rifle/riveter/mortar and it's not complete, utter overkill
You can use them in 1, but everything is so squishy so you're never really forced to
and also i have an incredible bias because i was blown away so hard by dusk when i first got to play ep1
The invisible enemies are awesome
I agree with that, we don't have many shooters with the same theme as ep1
my jaw was on the floor for like 2 hours
i was blown so hard by dusk
HDusk
@mild ginkgo ep1 atmosphere is a liiiiittle more my wheelhouse
Yeah
since it's basically just where I live
I think map3 ended up being my favorite
The ruins of e2m2 were mildly disturbing.
Just so good
it is a rollercoaster
yeah
and im REALLY being biased because ep1 was special to me
I assumed that "DON'T GO INTO THE RUINS" was a joke because about a minute ago the blood on the walls were telling me "FUCK YOU"
also ssg :)
it was fun.
@mild ginkgo this is why I want to do a survival horror game in a similar locale (maybe a little more in the hills)
ill never lose the ep1 bias
im working on a multiplayer game right now because of it
I think ep3 will be my favorite
and thats special to me
but my bias comes from my love of quake so
yeah im not gonna lie
BOO!
originally ep2 was supposed to be a lot more stalkery, but it ended up going in a more fantastical direction
quake 1, that is
Same
i REALLY love quake 1
Im so hyped
Early on, I was worried that EP2 would be like Duke3D EP2 where it's just a bunch of sterile, mostly-samey environments
Boy was I wrong, big time
like a religious zealot for quake 1
the atmosphere in bot episodes is top-notch
so ep3 could very well top it for me
@jaunty meteor I don't think I'm capable of doing samey environments in an episode just because I personally don't have that sort of attention span to work on the same idea for multiple levels :3
even by the end of ep2 I was really starting to lose steam with the aesthetic, despite it having a lot of level to level variety
I have a lot of respect for people who can take a concept and really dig into it over an extended period of time
Isn't that the level that's just plagiarized from the one Super Mario Galaxy level with the icy and hot planet?
Sounds exciting!
no
I still gotta try out most of e3
Mario invented hot and cold
im waiting for e3 to be done
@dim valve not quite no
i dont think anything will top the time scott and i sat in voice and played through e1
or mostly done
Every level in every video game can be traced back to mario, duh
Sewers, Ice, Middle East etc.
I like that [certain map] did end up being used in e3 though
yeah
that was an amazing experience to play that pax build
Vomitorium 2.0 confirmed??
please
that map is cool af
I recognized that map instantly
please tell me it's swamp
nope
swamp shack PLEASE
guys that swamp was so incomplete
Will one of the E3 maps just be the pre-pre-pre-pre alpha map with hell textures halfassedly slapped on
i dont get the obsession
HELL BARN
scott we should just record a playthrough of it lol
there will be a swamp
a
just a...erm...unique swamp, let's say
put it to bed
itd be like 45 seconds
HELL SWAMP????
They're going to pull a Halo, EP3 is you going through EP1/EP2 levels but backwards!
people will then shut up about it
oh the "idk what level design is so ill just put water everywhere" level?
Flesh swamp!?
yeah good point
no more meme map
@jade root naw that one's shelved
id rahter people shut up about that map
swamp levels are cool af
does that map even still function in the latest version?
it IS where the Do A Flip texture comes from though
yeah
@jaunty meteor heh naw, I have waaay too little respect for Halo's level design to do that :3
i was so happy that Joys of Mapping has a swamp themed episode
Halo had good multiplayer map design IMO
the library is a triumph of level design dont @ me
swamps are the best
Oh god I forgot about the Library
swamps will always ave an air of mystery to me
At least Halo 1 map design has big open areas that lets you use the full ability of your movement, David 😬
@mild ginkgo YOU JOKE, BUT DOC'S EARS ARE TINGLING
I actually really liked the way Halo reused its maps in different ways
I KNOW ITS SO FUNNY HE LIKES THAT MAP
@jaunty meteor They stole that from doom E3M9, tho
ILL NEVER NOT FIND THAT FUNNY
I have gotten in so many arguments with him about that
me and another friend
who went so far as to record a full playthrough to prove there are more than two locked door parts
That's why I come to the discord: all the injokes I'll never get
theres a guy named doc
@dim valve tl;dr - friend of mine who thinks The Library is one of the best levels ever made

That was like Halo's lowest point lmao
At least you get to use the shotgun...?
forest and swamp levels are cool
they are
Save the Halo chat for #242365589887254528 you rabblerousers you
fun fact: Painkiller has a forest level
You get to use it in the level right before that!
but many of you probably never played it
You only get to play that level if you're on Trauma difficulty
Halo 1-3 had so many boundary breaks compared to other games
fun fact: Painkiller copyrighted forest levels, that's why Dusk E1 can't use a full forest, only "fields with trees" instead
Halo has stellar combat design, amazing visual readability, and level design that ranges from mediocre to some of the worst in the industry
Halo 2's cities were some of the worst offenders
boy the level design is rough
True. I think that comes from the game originally being an open world game
some of those missions are just mazes of same looking hallways
corridor 7 in true 3d
Halo 3 wasn't that bad. Quit giving a shit after that tho
@mild ginkgo they aren't even same-looking. There are a lot of times the game quite literally copy pastes the same room over and over
i only ever played halo 1 to completion, and played MP halo 2 a handful of times
LMAO yeah thats probably why they look the same
Halo 1`s maps were a bit too big at times
The library is 1/3rd of itself copied on top of itself
Halo 1 is still a good FPS (great even, if you judge it on its combat chops alone), but man does the level design hurt the experience for me
There aren't even any secret clown levels
that and the interior art design is really offputting
