then again, only a handful of people have gotten to check out the preview of EP3
clever wasp
and not for like hours or something
I kind of wish EP3 would have a secret level accessed from the secret level
like E3MS2
graceful wing
The preview also only has levels 1-5 playable atm aswell
The later levels can be completed but they're not polished enough to be shown to the public yet
opal plover
Jab implied that there are multiple secret levels in Ep3
clever wasp
there's actually a secret episode
you go to E3MS, and then there is a path to ESM1
and of course the secret episode has a secret level, so you can go to ESMS
opal plover
What is ESMS like though
clever wasp
you fight against a 20 feet tall anthro Dopefish

There is a preview?

We had a booth at quakecon

Hey Jab can you talk to us about the one and only E3MS?

E3MS ice level confirmed

E3MS is now confirmed to be mute city

If I'm one of the people who doesn't get it I'll give the game a negative rating.

I will like it
I like those when properly paced
And the gimmick is fun

we already have E3M3 for gimmicks

E3M3 confirmed to be a mario level

the secret exit is the best thing in the game

[also technically the E3MS i saw was an early blockout, so it may not be representative of the final thing, etc.]

We talked about that but decided against it. Usually the spoiler channel is a sign the game is going to be playable for everyone in the immediate future. Right now that's not the case. Don't want to give nearly 6k people the wrong idea

There's really not that much to spoil anyway. Most of the E3 content has been shown in twitterland and whatnot
though I guess the end of the demo is a nice bit

on a scale of difficulty to find the secret exit graded from 1 to 10, with 1 being the exit of E1M1 and 10 being roughly equivalent to finding Waldo while being blindfolded, located half a mile away from the book, and attacked by a very angry kangaroo, how would you rate your experience ?

i fell out of map's bounds xDD

I mean it's pretty much intended
fast wigeon
theres even a red gateway to show you where you can get back inbounds
clever wasp
there are other ways to go back inbound though
dusty bison
oh
clever wasp
the "window" can only really be reached by rocket jumping
(I think)
you can fall back inbounds using the jump pad and going on top of the building above blue keycard
I really like these "secrets" located out of bounds, like the one in E2M1
it's a fun game trying to find them
I've even devised a proto-category called "E2M1 Stupid%" which solely consists of completing the level by getting the blue key that way
fast wigeon
all 20 of them
clever wasp
considering the effort they should at least be red keys imho, but what do I know
that said, it does give you a sword for your trouble

he's not completely wrong tho

it just got crushed under its own hype

If we put aside the gameplay and don't rate it on that by what i've read and heard from others it suffers from the Rage 1 treatment. The ratio of combat to dumb filler content is totally off.

there are far worse games than DNF honestly

@prisma kestrel Ok I know whatever is at the end of E3M5 is attached to a very slow moving door,is it a wall texture boss?

@graceful wing I've been here before twice, according to the bot that welcomes you, but I apparently bailed some day I was annoyed at the clutter on Discord

If doom had an option to see my playtime like WoW..... I'd rather not pull up that number.

I have most of my life on Classic Dooms, obviously. Never bought them tho
fast wigeon
me neither

you should get them, they're cheap

i uhh fucken Pirated them
because you can literally just download the pwads online
and at the time i thought it was abandonware
dusty bison
It doesn't feel right to give Bethesda money for Doom, for some reason
frail shuttle
and 200 hrs on doom 4. Challenge runs bump up the time. No BFG, No upgrades and all that Jazz.
graceful wing
just a quick rule 8 reminder. time to stop the piracy talk before it starts
dusty bison
Sorry
crimson folio
😶
dusty bison
my 76 hours on Doom 2016 are basically 12 for the first run, like 5 on the multiplayer, another 10 or 12 for Nightmare, 2 trying to Ultra-Nightmare it and dying on ResOps, and the rest completing secrets or some other shit
frail shuttle
Without the BFG/siege gauss cleave strat the cyber gets harder in phase 1. No upgrades = 100/50 health in the fight and you'll likely face the AoE rocket attack combined with the lazer focus and you can't shove him off the combo with no BFG TT
fast wigeon
just checked the rules, whats up with the no mlp/furry content rule
like you can talk about any other shitty fandom but not those two

it doesn't seem to have anything in it

alright lemme look
the only reason i open dusk anymore is to check things like this
im waiting until ep3 to actually play it properly again

I purposely....... Ok I sucked and died early in E3M1 and left the QC comps. Didn't want to spoil too much.
clever wasp
huh

nice find
clever wasp
I know that, it's just that when I ran into it, it was empty, and I died when I entered it (which normally does not happen)
so I figured something was off

@prisma halo SDK /Modable .exe Question...How much performance gain we can have when increasing pixelization to like 3 or 4 ?👀
prisma halo
Well, I'd assume it'd be the same gain you'd get by reducing the game's resolution by 3 or 4
vague egret
its important to note that pixelization actually hurts performance
prisma halo
Not in the SDK, which is what he was asking about
But yeah, in the current version of Dusk it's a postprocessing shader which hurts performance

Aka for max performance you're better with it off. Not like that's much of an issue imo.

oof

owel
opaque spindle
The filter giveth and the filter taketh away
crimson folio
Do you lose pacifist if an enemy falls into a trap?
clever wasp
apparently I can lose pacifist for a bunch of reasons, none of them involving me shooting a gun
I lose pacifist on E2M10 because idiot Guardian steps on his own nades
I lose pacifist on Erebus Reactor because ?????
I lose pacifist on Neobabel because an enemy decided it would stand where I teleport back from the circular room with the generator type thing
I lose pacifist on Escher Labs because I don't even fscking know
my only theory is that the game sees explosives -- any explosive thing -- as fired by the player
so if you have, say, a welder, that dies near literally anything else
you lose pacifist
even if whatever was caught in the blast survives, it counts as you doing damage
imho it's either that or physics props
the telefrag makes "sense" in the idea that I do, in fact, inflict damage to a monster
clever wasp
I just can't exactly control that I make a safe landing, because infighting, and I don't have 10 minutes to spend manipulating monsters
ah, so that explains quite a lot
that also makes it legitimately impossible to get Pacifist on E2M10 then
(unless I can clip out of bounds)
mild ginkgo
Nah
Use the crossbow
Or just shoot the switches and run in general
Very possible
clever wasp
those are shootable ?
mild ginkgo
Yep
You can beat the level without spawning the boss
If you know the angles, you can shoot the crossbow through the teleporters
Or even on the other side without touching the trigger
clever wasp
hm, always assumed the switches that look like knife switches weren't shootable
that might change my route a bit

.leet 5 DUSK reintroduces you to a world where butchery and bloodshed must be mastered... if you're to survive 'til dawn. Inspired by Doom, Quake, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Half-Life, Redneck Rampage and all your '90s favorites, while featuring a soundtrack by metal music mastermind Andrew Hulshult.

Hm, I didn't know that DUSK is coming to Nintendo Switch.
mild chasm
That seems like it would be difficult to play

Actually I just looked up the nintendo switch pro controller because I never saw it before and was curious if it was actually worth a crap
and that's basically an xbox controller so I guess it wouldn't be so difficult to play
mild ginkgo
the pro controller is super nice actually
and having played dusk on it, i can confirm its playable
prisma ivy
clever wasp
what about the HORI one
graceful wing
that thing is basically the pro controller but wired and no nfc
also slightly bewtter feeling dpad
the dpad on the pro controller is kind of awful
fast spire
Like most secondary controllers
clever wasp
I was debating getting one for my RPi
since it's like 30€
so pretty much half of the actual pro controller
but I think I'll save up and get a SFC30 Pro instead
graceful wing
yeah go for it if you don't need a wireless controller
it's more or less the same quality wise
the pro con is nice but man is it fkin overpriced
clever wasp
like most Switch peripherals apparently
semi glad I kept the GCCs around (and the adapter) for Smash
still gonna buy one though, if only to have a full set of four controllers, one for each generation
graceful wing
yea
although most of those peripherals are just useless tbh
the only things you really need are a controller and a carrying case
clever wasp
speaking of carrying, I knew a guy back when I was TOing Melee, two years ago
he made a fucking thigh holster for his controller
and whenever he was up next in pools he would quickdraw it
most awesome and useless thing at the same time
graceful wing

I wish I had a funny story about gaming but all I have is TF2 and how crit rockets are a godsend miracle sent down by Gaben. I won a match 5 v 1 and won the round in a tied over time koth match.
Side note.
Please remove random crits
graceful wing
didn't they do that in comp?
graceful wing
It would be kinda okay if it didn't scale based on performance
Go on a killing spree and your crit chance goes way up
clever wasp
not even remotely okay

And they need to fix hitboxes for backstabs. If I can get frontal backstabbed... Just no.

yeah guys, like normally i don't mind the off-topic gaming shit, but actual Dusk discussion has been slow since Quakecon '18. I expected to see some dusk memes, not dead game chat
so is like the secret level in e3 just a repeat of e3m1 except at the end the walls rise up and you have to play a new level?
(don't answer this seriously btw, just a shitpost)

The official dusk comic is obviously now scrapped and Jacob will instead be creating the visuals for the official dusk visual novel
vale oar
Episode 3 is scrapped. Jacob is making his own one
clever wasp
there will be two mutually exclusive episodes 3
Episode 3 Leatherneck and Episode 3 Cultist
each one is completely separate from the other
and have enemies and levels that are exclusive
and you gotta find someone who has the opposite version on DW and pwn them to get access to their shit

I mean, I'd play DUSK with DXR.
mild chasm
What do you think inspired the design of the leatherneck, dingus?
main fog
Doesn't actually look too bad. To improve the meme factor I'd turn up specular/gloss and add awful generated normal maps that have REALLY strong influence.
But if this was a serious thing I'd totally play it like that. Minus the lens flares. Maybe also add a bit of dithering on things like the shadow

Has anyone tested Dusk on Linux with proton?
clever wasp
dusk runs somewhat fine with wine IIRC
I don't have Steam on my Linux machine at the moment, so I can't test much further
prisma halo
Dusk runs on Unity and doesn't use any additional native dependencies (currently), so yeah no surprise it runs alright with WINE really
clever wasp
someone once said, a few days ago, that making a native Linux port isn't as simple as just opening the thing under whatever tool is used for Unity on Linux and click "compile", which I do honestly believe
but then, what is the issue ?
prisma halo
For many games, it is that simple
Whoever told you that didn't give you enough context or information
clever wasp
I'd tend to believe so
prisma halo
It's only really a pain if you're doing platform-specific stuff in your code
clever wasp
ya I know, I do some cross platform dev here and there
fair mirage
i've tested it on wine before, didn't run great at first but once i got some tweaks and commands in it was alright
clever wasp
at least I don't do MacOS
prisma halo
eg, console port stuff (like managing save data on a Switch) or touchscreen controls
fucking mac
I get requests all the time to make my Slime Rancher debug menu patch work on Mac
but I don't have a Mac
so I have no way of finding out what i should change
clever wasp
depending on the language and libraries used you can try to go the VM route, but frankly it is 1) a pain in the ass, and 2) not possible for everything
my latest doodad, a password manager, uses Qt
Qt will absolutely refuse to work on MacOS if I don't have a valid Apple Store license or whatever
which, considering I'm already making a VM of it, I don't have
clever wasp
honestly Qt is one of those that suck less
and it's not like you have a lot of options with C++
prisma halo
I mean, they all suck, sucking less isn't much of an achievement these days
but at least it's not Electron
clever wasp
same, but holy hell don't do that in C
clever wasp
it's beginning to turn into a lost art here
prisma halo
it's just a matter of breaking out of the OOP mindset when doing GUI stuff
Well yeah, business tend to love OOP because it's taught to the lowest common denominator at schools
So there's plenty of potential employees
clever wasp
not even that, it's just that where I live, 99% of IT jobs are web development
prisma halo
eugh, that too
crimson folio
I'm possibly getting a ThinkPad A485 once it releases in Australia. I'm going to assume Ryzen 2500/2700U Vega 8/10 should run Dusk nicely.
clever wasp
damn right it should
fair mirage
that's plenty :p
clever wasp
I mean Dusk more or less runs on hardware from 6 years ago
(couldn't test beyond that)
on that note, I don't think I've ever seen the info, but what language is Dusk even made in ? C# ?
prisma halo
The version you get on Steam right now is written in UnityScript, which is Unity's weird (and now dead) spinoff of JavaScript
The engine rewrite by me (also known as the SDK) is all C#
clever wasp
you must be a brave soul to rewrite an engine on your own
prisma halo
I'm moreso creating an engine within an engine
I do actually have an engine I'm making on the side with two others, but it's mostly on hold until I'm done with Dusk
clever wasp
always wanted to make my own super basic 3D engine, just to see if I could
prisma halo
It's fun
clever wasp
but considering how my 2D engine turned out
prisma halo
don't listen to the losers who tell you not to "reinvent the wheel"
fuckin' go out there and write an engine, it's a worthwhile experience and you learn a lot of invaluable stuff
clever wasp
don't worry about that, I'm already used to them
prisma halo
hahahaha
clever wasp
and frankly, in an enterprise context, I'd agree
thankfully I am not a developer (by trade)
I'm a sysadmin
which makes my code just that much unreadable anyway
prisma halo
Enterprise software is so bad, half the time I don't know whether to laugh or cringe at it
clever wasp
oh I have something to make you cringe if you want
prisma halo
I get a lot of the reasons they have all their weird rules, but I don't really think they're all that beneficial
clever wasp
got a job interview lined up (first in 2 years, yay) for an apprenticeship
if everything goes well, I'm gonna write COBOL software for a bank
prisma halo
oh god
clever wasp
that's pretty much everyone's reaction, yep
but hey, at least I get to work on a few z machines
clever wasp
and I think they have some AS400s
prisma halo
COBOL is like BASIC for masochists
clever wasp
well, it's a bank, last I heard all banks still use COBOL in some form
prisma halo
that scares me somewhat
clever wasp
let's just say the alternative is scarier
the amount of COBOL code currently running in the world is so huge, replacing even a single part of it with, say, C, is considered an infeasible task
it will literally break our economy for even just a few minutes (at best)
anything from monetary transactions to the stock market would just cease operations
everyone would lose millions
(again, at best)
prisma halo
That sounds like a pretty fragile system for such an important part of the economy
Not that I'm really surprised
clever wasp
not really, I mean the codebase is rock solid
it's just... about as moveable as the Ayers Rock
prisma halo
Well, it'd have to be
crimson folio
Ayers Rock? Another Aussie?
clever wasp
and to be fair, the job security is rock solid too, by definition
nah, I just wanted to use a large rock
I'm French
crimson folio

clever wasp
sorry to get your hopes up :p
prisma halo
I'm surprised at how often Australians pop up here, it's like we're taking over
crimson folio
So many of us also grew up with Hexen/Duke/Quake/UT/Redneck etc
clever wasp
hey, I'd take that as a good sign
I mean you probably still have ass ping with basically everywhere else on the planet, but it's a start
prisma halo
lmao
speaking of, I actually just got an upgrade for my internet today that should bring my DL up to 40mbps, but I'm still only getting 20mbps

as long as it's better than transferring TCP packets over smoke signals

dusk on proton is pretty great
near-native performance without any tweaking
