so if I wanted to make a map or two for dusk, how would I go about doing that?
eternal carbon
download trench broom and start layin down some brushes
theres some mapping and sdk information in the pinned messages for this channel
serene needle
I saw someone's map screenshot and they had dusk textures
eternal carbon
they've only shared textures with a few people that have maps nearly completely completed
graceful wing
Don't worry about those. We don't officially support using dusk assets nor can we help you with doing so till the SDK releases
prisma halo
on top of that, the texture wad being shared is not official and the texture names used in it won't reflect the final game
graceful wing
Exactly
prisma halo
so as soon as the actual SDK comes out you'll need to retexture everything
it's not worth it
graceful wing
Just work with quake textures for now
eternal carbon
quake textures are pretty nice, and there are some custom wad texture packs out there too

hey someone mentioned some quake map editor that's meant to work for dusk?
but i forgot the name
opal plover
TrenchBroom
dim lion
that was it
opal plover
Quake1 map format, that's important
opal plover
Don't know, standard
Also name's like a machine gun I guess, that would "broom" the enemy trenches.
dim lion
okay so how do i make this work with Dusk exactly? 😛
opal plover
You download the dusk's official trenchbroom dusk mapping tools™️ off the dusk ingame store
No but seriously mapping tools aren't out yet, limited to making textureless maps for now.
opal plover
Nope
dim lion
@opal plover i dont know what the "rat" class entails but if you have perms you might want to consider making an editing/modding channel?
opal plover
Sure I'll do it with computer magic.
dim lion
then I guess you don't have perms
opal plover
Well no I can't because the rat class is just the nb team bullying me.
dim lion
hah
anyway, that's what i was saying, a textureless map
okay @opal plover i've made a simple map with an "info_player_start" entity, would that theoretically be able to be run in Dusk?
jaunty meteor
IIRC, Dusk will be able to convert Quake 3 and Quake 1-format maps, with Q3 being preferred
prisma halo
Quake 1 BSP and Quake 3 BSP are the officially announced map formats
Others are planned, others are in varying stages of implementation but they aren't locked in
jaunty meteor
GoldSrc support would be SICK, but priorities
jaunty meteor
Don't bite off more than you can chew!!
dim lion
this trenchbroom does seem fairly intuitive so far but im not sure how to make shapes other than simple blocks
jaunty meteor
@dim lion New Blood hasn't released a Dusk entity definition file, but you can beat out the basic geometry of your map and test it out in Quake; you'll be able to scale your maps to Dusk's scale, so there shouldn't be major troubles there
jaunty meteor
❗
dim lion
i used to use some old tool called netradient back in the day
jaunty meteor
Though Trenchbroom is the officially-supported map editor, in theory most modern Quake mapping tools should work fine as well
I know that me and another dude both used J.A.C.K. (a hammer-like Quake editor) to make our maps, and that worked out just fine
prisma halo
Provided you can compile to a supported BSP format, any editor will work
opal plover
To modify the brushes select them and use this tool in the upper left corner, you can also get 2d view by pressing space if you want to.
slate edge
hlbsp eh?
prisma halo
It may or may not end up being supported
Currently you'll just get an error saying it's not implemented

Does the main character of Dusk have a name or any known traits, or are they purely just a vessel for me?

Well, his name is Dusk Dude, he's a treasure hunter and he has two meat hook wounds in his back.

He also only has two arms, which is why he can't dual wield certain weapons.

is it bad that I interpret the DUSKDude or whoever as one of these human soldiers that isnt brainwashed

And then he's like

@vale heath I'm a bit late, but the canonical explanation that David gave in late 2016 was that Duskdude is a treasure hunter who wanted to plunder the town of Dusk "for its riches"

opal plover
That's the magic oof duskdude, he can be any character you want.
summer reef
He's a former soldier who was discharged and became a treasure hunter
Mutual solution
Also he snorts cocaine and we all know cocaine makes you agitated
Which explains his speed

Funny thing is Dave hinted at duskdude's reveal, calling it now he becomes a great old one at the end BloodBorne style.

IDK, I like the notion of him being an apathetic treasure hunter who's only going to Dusk to plunder it

But yeah it really doesn't matter
Unless Episode 3 decides to do something with it

No but seriously E3's ending is totally gonna be something super depressing/existential like he is stuck in the nameless city and wanders in it for all eternity.

'Fitting' for Dusk could be anything

What if it also made duskdude hit like 4x harder with sickles when he walks in the cloud.
That would be cool

I almost hope that EP3 will have at least one gimmick level like barrels of fun or gotcha
Sort of like how E2MS was centered around a "parkour" motif
opal plover
E3MS will totally have some super insane gimmick
opal plover
You mean dusk's version of the vomitorium?

Precisely

Actually I really want one level in E3 to have one insane parkour section were you need to climb from floating bricks/stones in space, with no ground.
And like you need to go upward.
Instead of horizontally

Hmm a sort of race map but with climbing gear like the sound of that

There's on paragraph in this that's really stretching my Japanese out to breaking point, I'm having to use google translate
"In this game, you fight against a group of lunatic cultists who've sold their soul to the devil: In other words, bad guys. It's good to kill bad guys. It's moral. Considering the attitudes typically taken with this sort of FPS, you'd expect to hear blurbs like "SAVAGE! VIOLENT! DON'T LET YOUR KIDS PLAY IT!", but the foes of this game are not mere faceless soldiers. Is it barbaric to shoot and kill zombified goats? Who will feel sorrow for the brainwashed redneck brandishing a chainsaw? "Dusk" is a clean and correct FPS that embraces the human element. You can confidently kill these creeps without a second thought, and look majestic while doing so."

I have a feeling this was very tongue-in-cheek, of course
But that usually doesn't translate well

"Dusk is a love letter to all shooters, and a game that can be recommended to a wide range of gamers. It hasn't been localized, but it's okay; violence is the common language of mankind. You better enjoy communicating with lead balls."
I didn't even need to edit the bottom half of this, Google Translate just spat it out in the most perfect way

EP2 took about 4 months from August to December, we're currently 3 months out from EP2
Soon™

In the interest of full transparency... M1-4 are in rough draft states and m5+m6 are part of the way there. That's where ep3 is right now.
Once levels are roughed out Dave and I need to go over them and iterate + polish.
So there's still a few months to go

but yea fps games especially on pc are a rarity

It's a consequnce of their general schedule
Gaming the go is the most convenient option
If you get work, you're mostly going back and forth

major japenese developers and publishers focus on 2 markets, kids and NEETs.
no violent games for kids and NEETs usually like anime and manga games

@thorn trout I'm curious as to how exactly you go about making levels. It sounds much different from the process I usually go through.
thorn trout
Basically start with an idea and start laying down geometry and iterating and chasing ideas that come up as i go.
Sometimes I have points or concepts in advance, sometimes not

sometimes he lets lavender roll around on his keyboard
some of those ep3 levels really dont make sense

The fact that it's possible to crank the sensitivity high enough to do multiple backflips during a normal jump is wonderful.

yo guys i have a question whenever you do a backlip or frontflip in Dusk does your playermodel flip as well??
eternal carbon
there is no playermodel in single player but the weapons you hold probably still do a flip if you could view yourself 3rd person

I've played way too much Duke3D, played Blood + mod, went through Quake 1/2 on Hard, beat AE on hard (fuck Evil mode), played a lot of strafe, beat Dusk ep 1&2 about 3 times on all but one-shot and NOW IM HUNGER FOR MORE

don't start with me boi
Rogue-like and random levels or not I love the shit out of that game

requiem avenging angel is only $2.50 on steam right now. it's like half-life for rodd and todd flanders except it's actually kind of good. not dusk good, but, eh...

I also bought Duke Nukem Forever lol
but it's still actually kind of fun
this game looks aids, i'd rather play Daikatana

hey man give evil mode another shot
it will give you a new appreciation for your mastery of the game when you go back to hard

I just finished Episode 2 of AE today on Evil difficulty, first playthrough & completely blind XD
Dusk's Nightmare mode (or Duskmare, right?), now that's some dumb shit
Cero Miedo is sufficient
If you thirst for more then I would love to challenge you to some Endless / Hordes of Evil competition
or might I also suggest giving Ion Maiden a shot
and / or Shadow Warrior
Those two games have been on my list the past couple of weeks, Shadow Warrior in particular is freaking great

"
Dusk, Admist Evil, Iron maiden, and Hellbound are just recent examples of a growing retro shooter trend. But is this something that will actually last or this this merely a fad and a bubble that will burst once people get sick of playing generic Doom/Quake clones with low poly graphics and mediocre level design? "
the hell?
"If you want an example of what I mean by bad level design, then go look at Dusk and then compare it to Arcane Dimensions for Quake. "
oh this argument again........
🤦
summer reef
once people get sick of playing generic Doom/Quake clones with low poly graphics and mediocre level design
lol
Tell that to Devil Daggers
They said the same thing about that
winged otter
thats not the point,he is comparing game with begginer developers,to mod that has expierienced mappers who has years to develop maps for this mod
summer reef
While not as timeless as 2d artwroks, lowpoly has a simplistic quality to it
Which encourages artist to make things pop
I mean, hell

To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand Quake 2's intricate level design

Pls no

The corridors are extremely subtle
But seriously tho
Quake 2 felt more constrained level-wise
The first was much more elaborate
I still enjoyed it tho
viral gate
For sure would love to know if these fellas points in what's wrong with Dusk's levels
rare musk
I dunno about these guys specifically, but I've talked to a few guys who sound awfully similar about it and it tends to come down to 'it actually looks simplistic, like the average game of the era it's trying to emulate, instead of looking like arcane dimensions'
It also doesn't help that like, E1 is somewhat bland visually, and it's E2 where we start seeing all the visually really inventive stuff
viral gate
Might wanna take that to gaming
