post release

[spiral galleon]

ah

that makes sense

[rare gulch]

[thin sphinx]

i wonder if in the future you would have people license dusks engine for "90's era" feel type of games

[vague egret]

That's for Unity to decide

[jaunty meteor]

Dusk uses unity, so...

[thin sphinx]

i am aware

would you be able to sell the basics of what makes dusk havethat 90's era engine feel though?

or does unity have anything against that

[fierce lichen]

What about workshop support? I always liked the idea of custom maps with auto updates

[rare gulch]

I think that they'll add that

[serene sandal]

Man I know I've said this so many times before, but the possibilities once mod support is available excites me like nothing else!!

[rare gulch]

All aboard the hype train

[thorn trout]

@serene sandal it's gonna be nuuuuuts

[serene sandal]

Nuts.wad you mean 👌

[vale oar]

Is Episode 3 nuts as well? 🤔

[thorn trout]

@vale oar kinda

[vale oar]

[steady aurora]

Ep3 is literally going to be nuts

So nuts they got nutcrackers to crack those nuts

See, Shillbot has got the nuts

[vale oar]

What is a telefrag ?

[atomic egret]

two objects cannot exist in the same space at once

if someone teleports into the same space you are occupying

u ded sucka

[fair mirage]

physics hasn't quiiiite confirmed that yet :^)

[magic tree]

no but quake did

[vale oar]

what if duskdude teleports INSIDE the boss.. and lives in his chest 🤔

[viral gate]

I really wouldn't want to know what would actually happen tbh

[opal plover]

Coolest explanation of telefrag
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OipJYWhMi3k&t=33m49s

[fair mirage]

and suddenly, dusk is a sequel to the fly

except it's whatever abomination that might be the end boss

[opal plover]

End boss is the being on obZen's cover art but with Dave's face

[viral gate]

[fair mirage]

nonono

it'll be fuckin

xen but red

not the xen boss

just the entirety of xen, but red

[opal plover]

I dunno having an entire parallel dimension actually be a being in of itself seems like an unironically cool idea.

[fair mirage]

about 80% of my jokes are shit i make up on the spot so some of 'em has to be at least ok ideas

Avain still hasn't botted #super-galaxy-squadron

booooo

[vague egret]

There's a technical limitation that keeps SGS shill from happening

[opal plover]

Yeah right

[vague egret]

Trust me, we rather do the shill than hear Dave ask about it every other day

[jade root]

"WHY HASNT SHILL GONE TODAY" literally happened one hour ago

[rare gulch]

[vast tangle]

I found a bug, I don't know if it's been reported yet

The powerup in there (first secret in E2M5) seems to clip through the floor and it's impossible to collect

[rare gulch]

Ayyy

[prisma halo]

That actually only seems to happen sometimes

not all the time

I played around with attempting to fix it a while back but decided to save it for the SDK rewrite

[sterile sorrel]

I was wondering, how does armor work?

does it devide the amount of dmg taken,?

[jade root]

reduces 1/2 of all incoming damage

[sterile sorrel]

alright,

if im 100%

?

[jade root]

what?

As long as you have armor it will reduce the damage taken by 1/2

[sterile sorrel]

oh ok

[jade root]

doesnt matter how much armor you have

so if you have 1 or 100 its still half

[sterile sorrel]

thanks a lot !

[rare gulch]

[mental juniper]

dusk got a new update

what is it?

episode 3?

steam doesn't tell me what the update brings

[rare gulch]

Meme easter eggs

[vast tangle]

New update? You mean this one? https://steamcommunity.com/games/519860/announcements/detail/1693798980352538333

Because that's the most recent one ATM

[rare gulch]

Ye

I was checking if I missed any updates lol

[mental juniper]

well, something happened today

Amid Evil got a new update and I got excited when Dusk was loading something as well

[vast tangle]

Probably Steam cloud sync

[mental juniper]

so I thought that New Blood was scheduling a content update for both of these games at the same time

yea

might be steam cloud sync

but my Dusk settings were reset

fov

crosshair

character appearance

world lighting

everything reset

[vast tangle]

That's weird

[mental juniper]

yea

oh well

might check the new Amid Evil arena, tho

[placid pebble]

The dusk one got defaults for me, but not deleted saves

[thorn trout]

I haven't set anything live for Dusk since the Dance of Death update

[mental juniper]

must've been a cloud sync

but it happened along with the Amid Evil update at the same time

so I lost my mind

[thorn trout]

sorry lol

damn cloud syncs

[still peak]

☁

[vale oar]

SUDDENLY A CLOUD BRINGS EP3

[placid pebble]

and then david update again to not play ep3

[still peak]

im really interested in 3 for the implied lovecraftian nature of it

[vale oar]

I REALLY want something like this

[rare gulch]

[mental juniper]

@vale oar now now, don't give David unnecessary, stress, lol

I know that it's going to be in the cult nether and will have cathedrals, that's enough for me.

Dusk is amazing.

[vale oar]

Well, actually, there IS something already...

[mental juniper]

yeah, I saw some flesh tunnels as well

but it won't be exactly like in that darkest dungeon image

[fierce lichen]

EP3 better just be Bloodborne in first person

[mental juniper]

that game is darkest dungeon, right?

[vale oar]

yep

[mental juniper]

@fierce lichen it's more quakey

there are doggo enemies

but no bb beasts

[vital heron]

Do we know what the new power-up in ep3 does? I feel like it's been mentioned that there was new power-up.

[still peak]

AWAY BEAST AWAY

[fierce lichen]

OWAY OWAY

THIS TOWN'S FINISHED

[still peak]

ill mess up ur brain

[mental juniper]

"You cursed beast!"

[rare gulch]

No u

[mental juniper]

This is all your fault!

[still peak]

they should turn the jumppads into alien fungus shrooms to bounce on

[mental juniper]

@still peak that's pretty cool

they should do that

wait... Sono!?

did I just play with you that one match in Duskworld?

[still peak]

maybe make a squish and shroom dust effect

[rare gulch]

Mod support will be added after it releases

[still peak]

oh so that was you :u

[mental juniper]

yea

[still peak]

ya i was messin around in it earlier

[fierce lichen]

Ye, Mod Support. Bloodborne in Unity on PC

[vale oar]

@still peak Actually, the shroom idea is fucking brilliant

[mental juniper]

DB shotgun is sweet 😛

[fierce lichen]

Man, i don't want no shrooms, i want cathedrals and lovecraftian aliens

[rare gulch]

Make it after they added mod support

[still peak]

they could make it glowy blue like in bloodborne too

i mean alien fungus is a lovecraftian thing too, color out of space and the mi go

[mental juniper]

@fierce lichen a squishy alien trampoline would be cool tho

[rare gulch]

[still peak]

either way, just some organic looking jumppad 😛

[fierce lichen]

If it's going to be similar to realm of black magic

[rare gulch]

Dusk isn't a game about Aliens tho 🤷

[fierce lichen]

Then it's going to be a wild ride

[rare gulch]

Uhu

[fierce lichen]

How do you know? Bloodborne wasn't a game about aliens first

[mental juniper]

but yeah, if EP3 could be as quakey as possible, then it would help the SDK map makers make nice quakey maps

[fierce lichen]

It was BEASTS. It tricked everyone

[mental juniper]

yea

[rare gulch]

Nice meme

[mental juniper]

but in E3, you could see the amygdala aliens in central yharnam in the demo tho

[fierce lichen]

Dusk could be a game about cultists. But in reality it's about aliens

[mental juniper]

so I knew that it was going to have lovecraftian beings

[still peak]

i missed that so it was a surprise for me

[mental juniper]

also, ebrietas is shown in "Project Beast" trailer

before bloodborne even had a name

[vast tangle]

Well, first time I got to Yahar'Gul was quite the shock xD

[mental juniper]

EP2 tricked me nice, because it became very surreal

[still peak]

ya the transforming level one reminded me of afraid of monsters

[vast tangle]

I'd really love to run the Escher Labs through an editor

See what kind of sorcery David employed on that level

[fierce lichen]

EP3 gonna bring trick weapons. A shotgun that transforms into a bladegun

[rare gulch]

Yeah me too actually

Sorcery?

It's straight up black magic

[fierce lichen]

black magic from the realm of black magic?

[rare gulch]

Yes

That one

[vast tangle]

He's got the rune in his desk, I'm sure

[fierce lichen]

Ah the most black magic of the black magics

[mental juniper]

@vast tangle going to Yahar'Gul before the moon ritual you can hear people chanting in the "One Reborn" -Boss area. I reckon that's where the surviving Yharnam citizens are. It's pretty devastating when you go there after "Rom, The Vacuous Spider" to learn that the ritual went all into hell and you see statues of people trying to escape whatever happened in the One Reborn courtyard -room.

[rare gulch]

[mental juniper]

the game never makes a big deal about this

but if you're careful, you can pick up the clues

[fierce lichen]

Well i joked a bit, but if we are going to talk about BB, we should do it in #gami_g

[mental juniper]

ok

[rare gulch]

Ay

[still peak]

but yeah i might make a thread on that sometime, if its not been seen

and imagine eating alien fungus as a stand in for the beer

[jade root]

who knows what ep3 will hold

I'm sure david will do stuff that people will like

[sterile sorrel]

EP3 will be about weebs in their basements

[vast tangle]

Besides unspeakable horror, you mean

[jade root]

and if not, we got mod tools coming

[sterile sorrel]

mods to add bodypillows instead of scarecrows !

gotta learn blender

[vale oar]

Can't believe Jab doesn't know what EP3 will bring us 🙃

U little liar

[jade root]

I actually don't

I'm not involved with QA as much as other NB members, I generally snag feedback that could be missed here and let David know about it

Throwback Thursday!!
Let's remember back to when DUSK was nothing more than a single arrogant trailer that pissed everyone off! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VN1N05WmiqU&feature=youtu.be

Now DUSK is a garbled mess that still pisses everyone off!!!

[prisma halo]

Let's remember when jab was just a single arrogant member of this server that pissed everyone off!

rekt ya kiddo

[jade root]

Those three @ everyone's destroyed the server tbh

Pinged all 50 people

Ooooo scary

[prisma halo]

those were the days

[graceful wing]

remember when anime was allowed?

[rare musk]

no, I don't

ban that heck

[crimson folio]

Wait.

What is that dragon?

Episode 3?

[fast wigeon]

episode 1 boss

[crimson folio]

Oh.

Those guys?

[fast wigeon]

ye the experiments

wait were people actually getting pissed over dusk

[crimson folio]

Oh. I misremembered them, in that case.

Also

"Quake in fear"

[fast wigeon]

very subtle

[graceful wing]

goddamn dave forced those quotes in

[crimson folio]

"Meet your Doom"

[fast wigeon]

i can tell

[graceful wing]

they're way too cheesy

[crimson folio]

"Be branded a Heretic"

[fast wigeon]

that one is really clunky

[graceful wing]

exactly

[crimson folio]

"Rampage past the Rednecks."

It needs only one more thing.

"Bathe in your enemies' BLOOD."

[rare musk]

it's always dave's fault

[crimson folio]

What else...

NUKEM until they're dead?

Become a WARRIOR in the SHADOWS?

[graceful wing]

please don't give dave any ideas

[rare musk]

He'll do them

just you watch

[crimson folio]

Meet a Big Friendly Giant?

[rare gulch]

[prisma halo]

I was SUUUUUUPER skeptical of Dusk when I first saw that trailer

my initial response was quite harsh

[graceful wing]

ye same

but then i played the 2016 quakecon build and that was that

[crimson folio]

Oh, I've got a good one.

This game will take HALF of your LIFE.

Hey, nothing can be worse than Strafe's trailers.

[graceful wing]

their ads were okay but did a terrible job aat actually advertising the game

[rare musk]

I only just realized. Dave pls.

[graceful wing]

one of the things i'm surprised made it past the valve audit

we tried a ton of dumb stuff though lol

[frigid fern]

D:

[shut mesa]

shoulda been "ooOOoooo"

[rare musk]

is that why the cultist has no text?

[rare gulch]

Hahhaha

Nice one

[rare musk]

of course dave tried to get the hulshult trash emoji in

I'd have fucking paid for delet though

[shut mesa]

kek

why'd the trash one not get in

[rare gulch]

[rare musk]

and how is Soon™ not artwork from dusk

[shut mesa]

easy fix, just put a soon™ graffiti in one of the levels

[rare gulch]

[shut mesa]

some poor employee has to see e-mails pour in from dave

"goddamnit this guy again"

[graceful wing]

lol

[shut mesa]

"NO we're not gonna let you have peter griffin as an emote"

[rare gulch]

Im surprised that "moans" went trough actually

[graceful wing]

yup

[rare gulch]

Meme worthy tho

[graceful wing]

valve has a strict safe for work policy with trading cards

they probably missed it lol

[rare gulch]

Maybe

But on the other hand

Look at the Sakura games trading cards

[graceful wing]

that's the weeb porn game thing?

[rare gulch]

Yeee

That thing

[graceful wing]

yeeaaah... these shouldn't be allowed

[steady aurora]

Well as time goes on it seems like Valve cares less about the types of games that are going up on the store page

Really they're more a company than a community now

[graceful wing]

they generally audit trading cards pretty well

which is weird since they don't care at all about the games themselves

[steady aurora]

Yeah definitely for trading cards

but games

they don't care

hence all the sexual prolific games like Sakura goes up

[rare gulch]

Uhu

Weird studd

Stuff

[steady aurora]

but hey, we get to have all these awesome new smaller indie developers and play their games and help support them

[rare gulch]

Man I can't wait for Ep3 holy fuck I had a damn dream about the devs teasing more new enemies from it

[rare gulch]

Oh wow

Ep3 looks hella gud ye

[steady aurora]

And man do I hope it is SOON

[rare gulch]

[frigid fern]

I think the cards should have more anime

[steady aurora]

'Nough of the anime my dood

I feel tainted already

Void thine hentai

[rare gulch]

[vale oar]

ep3 soon?

[rare gulch]

Very soon

[rare musk]

[acoustic oriole]

[rare gulch]

[acoustic oriole]

the fact that it's happening at all is good enough

is painful, but great

[rare gulch]

Not painful enough

[rare gulch]

New emote?

[vale oar]

🤔

[rare gulch]

[steady aurora]

SOOS

[rare gulch]

[thorn trout]

There were a few things they didn't let us do that really disappointed me. But the trading cards/assets turned out cool anyway. I wanted a delet emote tho...

[rare gulch]

These ones are cool as well tho

[thorn trout]

we also had to cut the "kill the intruder" text out of the leatherneck background, which killed me inside. Original version is in the announcement though if people want to use it as a wallpaper. I'll probably add it to goodies too at some point

[rare gulch]

Oh wow

That is a huge bummer

[thorn trout]

yeah. No text allowed on assets that drop to players apparently

oh well. Backgrounds are still pretty badass

@red gale does good art 👌

[red gale]

shit i do

[still peak]

i have the faux stalker wallpaper from goodies as my desktop atm :U

[rare gulch]

Oh shit

[thorn trout]

heh yeah that one is goofy

just randomly felt like doing it one day

[jaunty meteor]

TBH I'm sorta happy the andrew emote didn't make the cut

For something that's meant to represent the game in an official context it was a bit too goofy and self-referential

[graceful wing]

Self referential indeed

Since Andrew's music comes from the

thank yew

i kept thinking it was a bring x object here to activate secret sort of thing at first

[vale oar]

Yeah that was kinda initial thought during the first ep2 playthrough back in December I suppose :3

[steady aurora]

Holy crap, way back in December was when Ep2 came out. It's been so much longer than I thought

[thorn trout]

I'M TRYIN YALL

[modest mortar]

I know everyone is impatient but have you seen the video about ep 3? it looks a lot more indepth and harder to build

it looks like it's going to be worth the wait

[thorn trout]

It's one of the hardest things I've ever done, gamedev or otherwise

making ep3

for a whole bunch of reasons

hopefully the final product will be worth it :)

[sly path]

I'm sure it will be.

Keep it up David.

I find it kind of interesting how someone who was once mainly an indie horror dev went on to make one of the best shooters of the year.

That and sumo revise.

Can't wait for Sumo Revise 2.

[thorn trout]

ahh yeah, poor old Sumo Revise

game is legit a lot of fun with friends

[crimson folio]

The tagline for Episode 3 should be "Get ready to QUAKE in the shadows".

Oh. Wait.

[vale oar]

NO U!

[rare gulch]

Yes me

[vale oar]

lol

[quiet rose]

We have seriously been discussing warning for Shillbot harassment.

[vale oar]

🤔

sooo any discussion results?

[quiet rose]

Yea, you will be banned soon. It will be completely random tho

[vale oar]

SOON™

[graceful wing]

please look forward to it

[rare gulch]

[sly path]

Churby has feelings too.

[crimson folio]

for real, though, Ep 3 when?

[fast wigeon]

theres no release date

it really is just

[crimson folio]

not even a month?

[fast wigeon]

i would say august at the absolute latest

[graceful wing]

ep3 is currently going through crit passes

[fast wigeon]

but thats speculation

[shut mesa]

[fast wigeon]

what are crit passes

[graceful wing]

after which it's time for QA and general polish

[fast wigeon]

playtesting?

[crimson folio]

i need to stop buying into early access. i love the game as much as the next guy but this is a little too much of a staggered release

i expect AE to be finished in late 2019

[opal plover]

What are crit passes pls

[atomic egret]

ae dev is going pretty fast dude

[fast wigeon]

ye ive never heard anyone use the term crits before in this context

[atomic egret]

dusk e3 is very soon

critique

[fast wigeon]

oh

[crimson folio]

i dunno, i suppose someone needs to slap Dave across the hands as he types those EAccess descriptions then

[quiet rose]

[graceful wing]

crit passes means the dev presenting builds to the producer and the producer criticizes said builds. that's the easiest way to explain it

[opal plover]

Dave gonna roast David's level design you mean

[graceful wing]

yup, that's basically what it is

[vale oar]

..but the producer has just come back from Mexico and now speaks Spanish only 😄

[graceful wing]

nah

dave's fluent in memes

[jade root]

Half of Mexico now owns dusk tho

[vale oar]

lol

[jade root]

Thx dave

[prisma halo]

oh huh, I only JUST realized the E3 2016 demo was made public

[graceful wing]

yup it's been in the goodies folder for a while

[opal plover]

Why did they change the mortar sound though

[jade root]

Because the new one is epic

[prisma halo]

Weird, I always thought those four other builds were the only ones we'd put out publicly so far

[quiet rose]

nope

[fast wigeon]

4

[quiet rose]

where u been mate

[fast wigeon]

i thought there was only 2

in the goodies folder

[quiet rose]

no

[prisma halo]

2 in the goodies folder, but there are four others that mustn't have been put in there

[quiet rose]

David released others before the goodies were a thing

[prisma halo]

but you can find them on this server

[opal plover]

Actually the guardian's hand cannon should have the sound of the E3 2016 mortar

[prisma halo]

Do a Discord search for DuskSuperEarlyBuild from:Zombie#1795

[fast wigeon]

thanks

[prisma halo]

oh shit avain man leaks

[jade root]

Aw

Deleted

That's meano

[vale oar]

.ban @jade root

shiet

[jade root]

Wonder what happens if I do that to you

[quiet rose]

do it

he knows it was gonna happen

[opal plover]

Do it

[vale oar]

...

[quiet rose]

Do you want it

@vale oar

[vale oar]

No.

All I want is ep3

now

or riot

[quiet rose]

ok

[vague egret]

Enjoy your riot

[quiet rose]

@vale oar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_III_–_Revenge_of_the_Sith

ep 3 here u go

[vale oar]

dammit

I mean HL2 Ep3

[fair mirage]

mastapeece

[fast wigeon]

wow the old version of dusk had ragdolls

thats neat

[opal plover]

If by neat you mean wacky

[prisma halo]

the existence of ragdolls in the game still has remnants

when an enemy dies, they don't actually enter a death animation

they spawn another object that handles that

in the code, this object is referred to as a "ragdoll"

[fast wigeon]

huh

[opal plover]

Wait so why are the dead bodies' hitboxes super janky then?

[prisma halo]

because I don't think they were tweaked from the actual enemies themselves

so they use the enemy's regular hitbox

it was either that, or there's a "default" hitbox and it uses that

I forget

[fast wigeon]

also how come leathernecks dont have working physics

[opal plover]

But why aren't they changed?

[prisma halo]

no clue, actually

you know that enemy in the early builds you just played? (It's called the Meat Lass)

[fast wigeon]

ye

[prisma halo]

That enemy was completely replaced by the leatherneck, hence the leatherneck is actually called meat lass in the files

[opal plover]

[prisma halo]

maybe that's related

[fast wigeon]

maybe

[prisma halo]

I don't actually know, I never investigated why the leatherneck remains static

[fast wigeon]

well they dont remain static they just fall super slow

[prisma halo]

I mean you can't shoot them around

[opal plover]

Yeah like the pickups

[mild ginkgo]

Pickups use a dedicated pickup gravity script to get that stepped falling

[fast wigeon]

wait so the stepped falling is deliberate

i thought it wasa bug

[prisma halo]

nope, it's completely intentional

[fast wigeon]

why not just have it fall at a constant speed

[prisma halo]

you'd have to ask David

[mild ginkgo]

I'm certain he just wanted to emulate the feeling of early "physics" in 3d games

[jaunty meteor]

I can't recall a 3D game from the era that has falling like that

[fast wigeon]

me neither

[vast tangle]

Marathon had a weird gravity

[untold elm]

I think it's pretty fitting, even though it's completely unique to DUSK.

[vast tangle]

Well, the whole "floaty powerup" thing is in a lot of old school games, not necessarily FPS

[mild ginkgo]

^^^

[still peak]

Ah i miss marathon, i think i still have all the aleph one versions installed

[alpine field]

did the server go down?

[gleaming berry]

mayb?

[crisp lion]

wait is EP3 in crit stage?

[thorn trout]

yup

[crisp lion]

noice

Looks like @opal plover might've been right after all, and a July release is plausible after all. But I'm not holding my breath either way, as I've got RL stuff, RTW2, and an AoM modding project to keep me occupied.

[thorn trout]

I would not hold my breath on a July release.

But we'll see

[mild ginkgo]

Crit phase definitely doesn't mean everything is done lol

[opal plover]

Wait what did I say?

[thorn trout]

right that's the complicated part. Crits have started but other stuff is not quite done

like, final boss has barely been touched and stuff leading up to the final boss is incomplete

[crisp lion]

You really like avoiding E3M10 as much as possible don't you? lol

[mild ginkgo]

No

[opal plover]

E3M10 better be at least on par with AE bosses

[crimson folio]

[opal plover]

Also at this rate I feel like E3 might come out a full year after E1's release

[mild ginkgo]

I'd put that at likely

[crimson folio]

[mild ginkgo]

Keep in mind we have to do achievements and stuff etc

And test it all

It's not just the content that needs done

[thorn trout]

@crisp lion ehh, it's more like Dave and I need to work together on it, and he's very much a "do this one step at a time" guy

[opal plover]

Yeah but you'll release E3 before going out of early access right?

[thorn trout]

we haven't officially decided

[mild ginkgo]

Who knows?

[thorn trout]

that is what I'd like to do personally

[mild ginkgo]

Dave will make that call at some point I'm sure

[thorn trout]

yeah

I mean Dave and I have talked about it but again that "do this one step at a time" thing

[mild ginkgo]

^

[dim valve]

Early Access E3 beta test but all the textures are dacon

[mild ginkgo]

He doesn't play level 2 until he's happy with level 1

Literally

[thorn trout]

Dave hasn't even seen half of Ep3 yet

[mild ginkgo]

^

[dim valve]

Boy, will he be mad when that half is entirely underwater

[thorn trout]

I sometimes jump around doing levels but crits go about as linear as can be

[crimson folio]

™

[thorn trout]

@dim valve all underwater, and simultaneously all Xen but red

[opal plover]

From what level do you get to E3MS from

[crisp lion]

it's a secret

duh

[thorn trout]

^^^

[opal plover]

E3M5

That's my bet

[jade root]

more ep3 leaks

[prisma halo]

You get to E3MS from the level that leads to E3MS

[jaunty meteor]

Sorry guys, July release just isn't in the cards

because it's coming out TOMORROW!!!

[crimson folio]

august is fine

when i pre ordered it ...

1 y ago

[opal plover]

Yeah late august is where my bet is

[dim valve]

@crimson folio at least you're not that guy who pre-ordered the game in August, then made up his mind to wait for the full release before even installing it

[crimson folio]

what ?

💤 😴

[thorn trout]

@jade root wtf don't leak screenshots

[crimson folio]

mod it in

imagine Dusk gameplay in doom with same vidya costumization

[opal plover]

What doom

[crimson folio]

90s

[opal plover]

What vidya customization did old school doom have?

[jade root]

reminder that sourceports added in the graphical stuff

base doom didnt have all those options

[opal plover]

Yeah but then it aint 90's

[crimson folio]

i mean dusk´s gameplay and costumazition features with doom maps and enemys

[still peak]

i hope my voodoo can run it

[crimson folio]

i hope SDK is the voodoo

[sly path]

The original DooM's video customization was pretty damn basic.

Well, in game atleast, outside of the game you can tweak other things.

[still peak]

could you change how the dark/flickering lights worked?

[mild ginkgo]

I think everyone is likely happier with the product they got, than the one that would've had to be hyper rushed out to meet the joke of a date that was Halloween

It took would've been a pile of garbage

[toxic wadi]

the decision to hold off and release a nice product is usually the better one imo

[still peak]

unless its a case of restarting development and or switching engines

and meet the fate of duke 4ever

daikataner

[jaunty meteor]

I'm happy with EP2!

if I'm not happy with EP3 I'm to be egging your house next halloween

[thorn trout]

I think almost half of the ep2 levels ended up being completely redone, all for the better. Some day it might be fun to release the ep2 levels that got cut (including a way WAY less effective version of E2M2. Basically the same schtick but the leadup was pathetic)

Some of that was because doing those levels helped me get better at level design, some of it was that I was rushing to try and finish the game. I believe around that time was when I learned Rachael was pregnant and I was panicking about the prospect of having no money, trying to raise a child, AND trying to finish Dusk.

Thankfully things worked out :)

[opal plover]

You're a beautiful flower and I love to watch you grow.

[thorn trout]

aww thanks :)

[fair mirage]

i think life's motto should be "shit happens"

gotta play shit by ear sometimes

[thorn trout]

this is very true. It's a lot healthier to live that way than it is to worry about everything that could happen

[opal plover]

Anyways I heard old E2MS was neat

[thorn trout]

At one point much earlier I was planning on using the E3 2016 demo level as E2MS, which gives you an idea of the level of quality we're talking. The E2MS after that was better but it was a patchwork quilt that didn't really work as a whole. The best part of it can be seen in the final E2MS (the room through the yellow key door)

[prisma halo]

Heh, that was intended to be E2MS for real? I remember seeing it in that slot and thinking it was just a placeholder

[thorn trout]

yeah early on, when I was trying to rush through

It took awhile for Dusk dev workflow to find the right equilibrium between Dave and I

Because for several years my whole approach was to brute force short games quickly, and when Dave and I (read: Dave :P) decided to expand Dusk beyond what I intended I didn't quite know how to deal with that.

To get some perspective, I believe at this point Dusk has taken longer than my previous 4 games combined

[prisma halo]

It's definitely been worth it, the extra time really shows

[thorn trout]

yeah it certainly does

I mean... at this point, with the skills I have now, I would probably make Dusk a shorter game. Go for the original idea of 12 longer levels. But I think all of the dev time was needed to get to where I am now

[prisma halo]

Dusk 2 is a singleplayer BR game with 12 open world maps

[fair mirage]

set in brazil

for extra BR

[thorn trout]

yup

and it'll come out way past BR being relevant :3

[fair mirage]

hue hue hue

[still peak]

the lootboxes are rusty toolboxes

[thorn trout]

part of me is like "damn if I could go back and do it all over with the knowledge and experience I have now," but then maybe the fact that Dusk is a "learn as you go" thing helps it in some ways.

[warped saffron]

It's cool. Just apply what you've learned here on that FEAR inspired game you promised to make.

YOU PROMISED.

[thorn trout]

Dave and I have talked about going back over ep1 to polish it up before 1.0 release, which I think is generally a good idea, but also I'm not sure what should be kept as "this is part of what the game is now"

like, maybe some people really like that super weird progression in E1M4???

[opaque spindle]

You could probably release like a Episode 1 Redux post release

to show how you would do it now

with the experience you've gained

in case people like how episode 1 plays out already

so you don't upset people who do like episode 1 alot

[mild ginkgo]

Man I miss old e2m8

[thorn trout]

I mean if we're talking the FULL "how I would have done it" I think basically the entire episode would be different. Also all the textures. And animations.

[mild ginkgo]

I know parts of it became e2mS

But it's cool

[thorn trout]

But at some point as the creator it's like... you've lost the ability to see whether a thing is good or bad and you can ruin it by trying to go back and improve it

Look at the Original Trilogy updates, or look at how many people still swear by the original Blade Runner Director's Cut

at some point it's like... this is what the thing is, and you have to stop trying to update it to keep it relevant to you, the creator

because you've given it to people and it's not fair to take that from them and change it

but also Ep1 probably needs some more set dressing in some places ;)

[warped saffron]

Final Cut for Blade Runner all day... but yeah I totally agree. Have to stop messing with it at a certain point. It is what it is and what you've learned would be better spent on the next project. I go through the same thing with music. I believe Bob Ross says to "Quit fiddlin' with it."

[thorn trout]

also FEAR-like game is still on the table for the future :)

[still peak]

'w'

i loved fear

[toxic wadi]

i feel like there's something charming about the quality/complexity ramp-up that i saw as i progressed through the game

[opal plover]

Honestly for me it's keep all of E1 intact but only attempt to fix E1M4 and E1M6 if you want to because I doupt people would miss their old versions

[toxic wadi]

however, i personally wouldn't be opposed to EP1 polish

[opal plover]

Me neither

[mild ginkgo]

What's wrong with e1m6

[sly path]

No issues with the idea of an Ep1 polish, though, I would say try and include the original in one form.

[mild ginkgo]

I loveeed that level

[warped saffron]

Cyberpunk 2077? Yeah... could be cool. A FEAR type game from DUSK-man David? wowowowowowowowowWOWOWOWOWOW

[prisma halo]

just do an episode 4 which is a collection of levels themed after E1, E2 and E3 in order

[sly path]

Just so people can still experience the original version.

[opal plover]

Yeah E1M6 was great but some people didn't like it and it REALLY lacked in secrets and verticality

But yeah David, if you wanna polish E1 go for it.

[prisma halo]

I miss the huge size of the older Dead of the Night

but if the huge size was ever brought back

it'd need a bit of work

[mild ginkgo]

I think it would suck megadix with vertically

[thorn trout]

We'll doubtless be doing another pass on it. I don't think I want to change any major things but bringing the polish up to the level of ep2 (and hopefully ep3)

[opal plover]

E1M7 uncut is definitely something I was planning to do.

[sly path]

A bonus "classic" collection of the unrefined versions of E1 seems like a good compromise of some kind.

[thorn trout]

I actually think E1M6 accomplishes what it's supposed to pretty well. I could see one or two more secrets maybe, but it's supposed to be a claustrophobic uncomfortable map, to prep you for the action in E1M7

[mild ginkgo]

The cutty mines are a master class in level design to me

[prisma halo]

I think the cutty mine is fine as is

[opal plover]

But yeah E1M6 with more secrets would be perfect for me

[crimson folio]

E3M10 will have a Cyberdemon.

Wait, no.

A cybernetic demon.

[mild ginkgo]

It might be my favorite in the whole game

[prisma halo]

Although since people complain about the Cutty Mines I'm surprised I haven't seen someone call it the Cunty Mines

[thorn trout]

@prisma halo I dunno there's not much in old e1m7 of value that isn't in final e1m7. Basically just the hay bale field, and everything had more space between it

[crimson folio]

E1M2 is my favorite level.

[prisma halo]

Yeah, that's what I mean, it'd need work because the larger size was cut down for a reason

[mild ginkgo]

I think it embodies everything that is important about old school levels

[prisma halo]

It was mostly superfluous

[crimson folio]

Just because of how unique the secrets are.

[prisma halo]

when I say the return to a larger size would be cool, I mean conceptually

[opal plover]

I thought maybe the forest could have worked in E1M7

[sly path]

It's been a while since I've played DUSK's campaign, so I might replay it before EP3 launches.

[opal plover]

Maybe have the key to the blue key shack in the forest, and have the blue key only open the underground doors after the well

[crimson folio]

E1M2 will always be my favorite level in DUSK...

Until maybe Episode 3.

[thorn trout]

@prisma halo large-scale Dusk maps in general would be cool

[prisma halo]

One of my favorite OST tracks in the game is in episode 3

[thorn trout]

I mean, large meaningful gameplay space

obviously there are some bigass maps in Dusk already

[crimson folio]

Still wondering how Escher Labs was made.

[opal plover]

Zis one Zombie?

[thorn trout]

@opal plover ooohhhhhhh yeah I forgot about the forest

[toxic wadi]

erebus reactor (?) comes to mind at the mention of "large, meaningful gameplay space". that map is actually dope

[prisma halo]

I don't think the one I'm talking about has been heard publicly

[crimson folio]

Erebus Reactor is great.

[opal plover]

The one I posted above is like my favorite track for now

[sly path]

But yeah um, keep up the fantastic work David.

[crimson folio]

^

[opal plover]

Is it this one ?

[prisma halo]

That's the one, but obviously it sounds different now

I never knew that was public 🤔

[opal plover]

Andrew bless thee

[crimson folio]

Hulshult should've composed for Doom 2016.

[sly path]

Andrew is 10/10

[prisma halo]

I don't really pay attention to Twitter at all so there's probably tons of shit I don't know about lmao

[opal plover]

Yeah there's that slow slayer style one too

[serene sandal]

Andrew is too good for us. He must be protected at all costs!

[crimson folio]

Can we get a Flare Gun in episode 3?

🤔

Question time: What should Hulshult not compose for?

[thorn trout]

IN IT MOD

[prisma halo]

The weapon set is pretty locked down

[thorn trout]

@crimson folio erm... the chinese room games?

[toxic wadi]

lol

[thorn trout]

or would that be badass?

I'm not sure

@urban sparrow plz adviz

[sly path]

I'd say, Andrew shouldn't compose for, developers who aren't paying him I guess.

[opaque spindle]

Who says we're paying him

[sly path]

Oh.

[crimson folio]

[thorn trout]

💰

[prisma halo]

dave just leaves moneybags in a dumpster outside andrew's trashcan

[vital heron]

Will there be any new weapons in ep3?

[opal plover]

Sword

Technically it is the new weapon

[vital heron]

Like, new to current weapon set

[opal plover]

No

YOU GET NOTHING

YOU LOOSE

[vital heron]

pls

[still peak]

blunderbuss you can load with soap

[crimson folio]

Main character is actually Caleb from Blood.

[still peak]

in all seriousness tho, prolly a puzzle weapon like i suggested on forum :u

[crimson folio]

Duskguy's true identity.

[opal plover]

Nah duskdude seems like too nice of a person tobe Caleb

[crimson folio]

Actually, yeah.

[vital heron]

But it seems like that dream was born to die :(

[crimson folio]

:(

[thorn trout]

99% certain there will be no new weapons

[opal plover]

^bait

[crimson folio]

1% chance, guys.

[opal plover]

100% chance of unmaker mod

[thorn trout]

honestly the more I see of the comic the more I'm leaning toward comic Duskdude being canon. BUT WE WILL SEE

Dave has his own ideas :3

[crimson folio]

@thorn trout Will it be like the Doom comics?

[vital heron]

I'm still hoping for the leatherneck chainsaw as an easter egg weapon.

[crimson folio]

YOU ARE HUGE

[opal plover]

Honestly Dave's ideas seems super cool

[crimson folio]

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS.

RIP AND TEAR.

[prisma halo]

comic duskdude is his brother obviously

he's fighting an identical clone cult

[still peak]

calebs pitchfork as a neat random hidden weapon

[crimson folio]

Yes.

[opal plover]

You mean in E1M2?

[thorn trout]

naw it's classier than that

[still peak]

and its not any better, but it lets you transport hay :u

[prisma halo]

I added in the Transfusion pitchfork as a test once

like I did with the tommygun

[crimson folio]

Glad to hear that it won't be that hammy.

[prisma halo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gqBlLkTxcM

[thorn trout]

comic Duskdude is the best. He has so much personality just from his appearance and poses.

[prisma halo]

you need to record one-liners now

david IS duskdude

[toxic wadi]

i haven't even seen the comic duskdude

[opal plover]

He's an absolute unit

[urban sparrow]

"I'd say, Andrew shouldn't compose for, developers who aren't paying him I guess."

[thorn trout]

I think Jacob's posted some art. I'd share some but I don't know what's public and what isn't.

[urban sparrow]

That's a solid answer

[thorn trout]

he is, indeed, an absolute unit

[prisma halo]

link to jacob's twitter or something

[urban sparrow]

also probably wont touch mobile games unless the money is just too good I guess?

Jacob's Parallel pen work is fantastic.

Yeah my dude.

[crimson folio]

Reminds me of Madworld.

[prisma halo]

the comic is official yeah

[sly path]

Not exactly canon right now, but it's official.

But yeah um, Jacob uses these for his ink work and such.

[thorn trout]

@toxic wadi yup completely official

[toxic wadi]

is there gonna be a physical release at all?

[prisma halo]

I'm pretty sure there are gonna be physical copies in the CE

You'd have to ask Dave

[crimson folio]

Collector's Edition for DUSK?

[prisma halo]

yeah

[crimson folio]

How much?

[prisma halo]

big box

[toxic wadi]

we're talking cardboard big box, right?

[mild ginkgo]

What else would it be made of?
