Dusk is a ripoff of Minecraft because you hear the water noises from Minecraft in dusk

Mojang plz sue

[delicate violet]

Dusk is a Shenmue clone

[crisp lion]

your a shenmue clone

[dusty dragon]

The inspiration for Dusk is actually the game 'Bad Rats', a sleeper hit in the RTS genre. It is noted for its lifelike graphics and experimental rap soundtrack, both of which Dusk tries to emulate.

[crisp lion]

hence why Demon Rats are enemies.

[rare musk]

dusk is just a Doom: Eternal clone

[woeful plover]

Andrew makes the best rap.

[molten peak]

tbh, Andrew could pull off rap metal the same way Anthrax did with Chuck D.

Andrew/Kendrick Lamar mashup when?

[shut mesa]

AbsolutelyNAH

[crisp lion]

Rap musak in my dusk game?

It's more likely than you think!

Big John is the cult leader

[mild chasm]

That's not really as disturbing as you think it is when you realize all those cultists are praising the sun

They're sunbros, they're chill

Actually big john looks an awful lot like the sun in that image too

[acoustic oriole]

sun... john...

praise the john

sounds like a porn movie

ugh

Praise the big john

[vale oar]

Just sent my own suggestion
-"Cancelled"
-"Complete eps 1 and 2 and never start episode 3"

the hardest cheevo EVER

[fickle surge]

easiest

[cosmic badger]

I want an achievement for beating an episode with only sickles

[polar fern]

Submit it then! And it might get int!

[crimson folio]

doin it right now !

[reef moat]

I love submitting ideas like this

[vague egret]

we like what we're seeing. keep em coming

lots of good ideas so far

[crisp lion]

Critical Blindness Failure and Return to Sender.

[languid flower]

Not Worthy- get killed by the first 3 chainsaw guys in the beginning of ep 1

[jaunty meteor]

not much of an "achievement"

[paper oyster]

i want an achievement for going out of bounds

[crimson folio]

when you see xxxxxs those are MINE ™ ™ ™

oof i sent like 10 already

legit ones

[crisp lion]

I've sent about five.

[crimson folio]

MAN i HAVE so many MORE

[crisp lion]

Pure Comrade, Bestest Friends, Return to sender, DUSKertale, Critical Blindness Failure, and It's what I came here for.

Ik Dave will probably want the Pure Comrade cheevo

[coarse flint]

i plan to get all of the achievements when they come out

[crisp lion]

👀

[coarse flint]

All Achievements speedrun

:V

[crimson folio]

Color Theory

this one can be for the records

[coarse flint]

You Really Like That Level Don't You

wanted to submit an achievement for replaying a single level a lot of times but that seemed stupid

[coarse flint]

I did submit an achievement for beating a level with the Virtual Blech colors on tho

[crimson folio]

^^

[coarse flint]

Called "I Can't See Sh!t, Captain!"

[crimson folio]

thats the Color theory one

[coarse flint]

oh.

my name's funnier.

[jaunty meteor]

This might just be my humble onion, but IMO achievements that require you to deliberately play bad or just switch on a filter that hurts your eyes aren't very good

[shut mesa]

i did a ravenholm reference one for killing a dweeb by throwing a circular saw

[crimson folio]

OH

[shut mesa]

i'm lazy

[coarse flint]

@jaunty meteor Eh, i donno.

[shut mesa]

he's not wrong

"lmao fucking compromise your eyesight for 90 hours #epic"

[coarse flint]

90 hours

??????????

[shut mesa]

alexa, what's a hyperbole

[coarse flint]

fair enough

[crimson folio]

...

ye

thats it for now

hey guys

just coming to check if ep is still CANCELL

[shut mesa]

ya

very cancel

[crimson folio]

ofc go home

*ep3

🤔

Done

but yee what about ep3 specific cheevos ? maybe ?

[cerulean sun]

dusk need an achievement that if you get a sub 10 second e1m1 time you get a link to the dusk speed run discord

[steady aurora]

Find Big John revived in his skeletal demon form and kill him

#spoilers... HMMMMM

[crimson folio]

So, when do we get the full list of cheevo submissions, if at all?

[crisp lion]

on release i suppose

[jaunty meteor]

You don't, they look at it internally and choose the best

[crimson folio]

^^

oh well

[mild ginkgo]

if any

[hazy nacelle]

Come on people we need a bigger player on dusk servers. As much as I enjoy jumping into the lava we still need a bigger player count.

[rare musk]

Check out #lfg-signup , we have a channel for finding duskworld games

Plus frag nights weekly on saturdays, usually a good chunk playing then

[crimson folio]

I was kinda confused from the Ep3 footage there was a room full of mushrooms or crystals of madness ?

[crisp lion]

I member the magik mushy room

[crimson folio]

ahhhhh ye "Magik" mushrooms

Are they psychedelic though ?

so dusk episode 3 is still SOON™

[crisp lion]

gibe it a month or two

[crimson folio]

ooo

[crisp lion]

David I assume is still on Holiday.

[crimson folio]

I just want access to the Beta 😶

[modest mortar]

I also want the beta

[rare musk]

as of right now there isn't any beta

at least none's been mentioned idk about any internal stuff

[mild chasm]

"You're One Ugly Mother-"
Kill Big John with melee only

Best I could think up

[graceful wing]

No beta

Well announce when there is one. Anything not from an admin or dusk dev can be safely disregarded

[clever wasp]

so like everything Jab says then ?

[fair mirage]

there's a couple qa nerds that you could probably omit some grains of salt from

[graceful wing]

Nah while a few of the mods are in qa their lips are sealed

[delicate violet]

I can wait

[winged otter]

interface update comes soon or on release day?

[delicate violet]

I'm an F-Zero fan

I know how to wait

[winged otter]

F-Zero?

[atomic egret]

captain falcon from smash brothers

[delicate violet]

Best racing franchise

[atomic egret]

never even seen f zero in real life

[delicate violet]

Anti-gravity cars that go at 2000+ mph

[crisp lion]

F-Zero is a meme

[mild ginkgo]

soon ish

[delicate violet]

The first one is, the gamecube title is god tier

[crisp lion]

UI update needs Unity to do something IIRC

[delicate violet]

Thinking about it

[mild ginkgo]

nah its been fixed by unity

[delicate violet]

How hard is for you guys to develop the sdk tools in unity?

[mild ginkgo]

but we've got strategic decisions to make regarding it

the sdk tools have almost nothing to do with unity

[delicate violet]

oh?

[mild ginkgo]

thats the entire idea

[opal plover]

"LOOK AT HIS HEALTH BAR!!!"

Get killed by a boss who has 5 health points or less

And

"no turning back now" for finishing Ep1

"the only way out is through" for Ep 2

And "Duskslayer" for Ep3

[vale oar]

rip n tear

I wonder what the ending screen for ep3 will look like

[opal plover]

Duskdude wanders eternaly in the nameless city he destroyed, with the screen being a small figure amid huge ruins

[vale oar]

meeh

too heretic-ish

[opal plover]

What's your idea for Dusk's ending?

[vale oar]

well

I hope it'll be kinda twist

like

[opal plover]

Yeah it's defo gonna be a twist

[vale oar]

the nameless city is actually our own dimension, so he gets caught by 3 leathernecks and...

😉

[prisma halo]

the memeless city

[vale oar]

yep

[viral gate]

Sounds nice...

[opal plover]

M. Night Shyamalan would be proud

[vale oar]

dang

Signs scared the shit outta me

[opal plover]

In all seriousness that's not a good plot twist because it lowers the stakes instead of elevating them.

[vale oar]

yeah i know

just making some ideas

about what Dave said

"the ending is dope", "...what we let you do after it" etc

[opal plover]

Yeah with a change of tone at the end of Ep3

[vale oar]

what about that screenshot tho

[opal plover]

With the return to earth?

I feel like that'd be some sort of flashback

[vale oar]

yeah

that one

flashbacks in Dusk...

🤔

what if

that is the secret level 🤔

[opal plover]

Could be

[winged otter]

i wonder how many achievements gonna be in Dusk

[vale oar]

suggested 2 cheevos yeasterday

YEAS

fuck

my keyboard went nuts

[opal plover]

What were they?

[vale oar]

1. Kill 100 enemies with gun twirling
2. Flush 10 books

[opal plover]

30 enemies sounds more reasonable

[vale oar]

yeah I even thought of 200 lol

[winged otter]

oh yeah, gun twirling does damage, i forgot

but 100 enemies is too much

[vale oar]

yeah i tend to agree

[wind pier]

I think 3 is fine

[vale oar]

3 bosses

😉

[wind pier]

😛

[opal plover]

3 bosses sounds more reasonable than 100 enemies

[vale oar]

anyway if they include my suggestion it's up to them

[slate edge]

In the end of Dusk, duskdude meets duke nukem in bar as he drowns his sorrows while being fat.

[winged otter]

i hope Dave implements 6K achievements like in World of Warcraft

[vale oar]

fuck

"cover all the levels with the bullet hole decals" lmao

INSANITY

[slate edge]

no pls

[clever wasp]

I submitted two

and neither of them are easy

[vale oar]

wonder how many they have atm

[clever wasp]

over nine thousand

[vale oar]

they'll cancel Dusk after reading what we've suggested

[atomic egret]

it'll be moirai all over again

[opal plover]

What happened to moirai?

Was it taken down because of how stupid everything people said was?

[atomic egret]

yep

someone ran a script to flood the database with obscenities

[winged otter]

its really sad

[atomic egret]

"for the luls"

[winged otter]

because that plot twist at the end has a great potential

[atomic egret]

I never got to play it

[clever wasp]

why's your Steam in French

[viral gate]

[opal plover]

Becuse I am french, I'm a big fan of baguettes and revolutions

[atomic egret]

gee I wonder

lol

[fast wigeon]

submitted a couple of cheeveroni suggestions

[vale oar]

CHUR

[fast wigeon]

"-nomonsters" get 100% kills in all levels

[atomic egret]

I'm stealing that one to add to the internal list 47

[acoustic oriole]

LMAO

[fast wigeon]

"hygenic/germaphobe" find soap in every level

[sly path]

"Save Scummer" Quick save 100 times.

[atomic egret]

there's already one for the dorito

but that is a good name suggestion

[fast wigeon]

which one

[acoustic oriole]

I suppose people already called a "moment of zen" thing with killing enemies with deflected projectiles?

[fast wigeon]

or are both already a thing

[atomic egret]

the soap one

[fast wigeon]

o

o i called the sickle reflect kill achievement "return to sender"

[atomic egret]

Dave really liked that one

[acoustic oriole]

wheels turning hmmm

[atomic egret]

I hope I'm not saying to much here

[vale oar]

"I LIKE MY HANDS BLOODY"
-Flush a soap bar down the toilet

[atomic egret]

otherwise I could get in trouble 😟

[acoustic oriole]

"Cool off" - flush an enemy down the toilet

[vale oar]

lol

[fast wigeon]

i dont think achievments are gonna spoil anything

[vale oar]

flush episode 3 down the toilet

[fast wigeon]

unless its like "defeated the final boss"

[vale oar]

garbage.

[acoustic oriole]

"You're cancelled"

[atomic egret]

I doubt it's too much of a big deal

which is why I said anything in the first place

[sly path]

"Settings Swapper" Open the options menu 100 times.

[atomic egret]

but still technically leaking

[sly path]

"Back on the hooks" Die to the first four leathernecks.

[vale oar]

CHEEKI-BREEKI
-Complete the game using "Strelok"palette

[fast wigeon]

are achievements a thing that take a while to implement

[vale oar]

sure they take time

[atomic egret]

there is an achievement for that ze

[sly path]

Oh.

[atomic egret]

a suggested one at least

[fast wigeon]

id like to think dieing to the first 3 leathernecks is the canon ending

[acoustic oriole]

"Pull!" kill an enemy that's in the air from a jumpad

[sly path]

Honestly going back on the hooks seems like something that'd happen to DUSK Dude if he tried to escape.

[fast wigeon]

oo there should be an achievment for killing a priestess in a sword duel, "chivallry" or smth

[acoustic oriole]

tis but a flesh wound

[vale oar]

"4th wall breaking"
Shit your pants after encountering the Horror

:3

[acoustic oriole]

"Reaper of Souls" heal 50hp with health bonuses off dead enemies in Endless mode

[fast wigeon]

only possible with the new DUSK Shit Tracking Technology

[viral gate]

Hate the achievements everyone gets by just playing though @vale oar

[vale oar]

😐

[fast wigeon]

ye the "play with a certain setting" or "do overly specific thing 200 times" ones suck too

[atomic egret]

there is one on the maybe list like that

but it's chill

[vale oar]

"Make ep1 final boss infight"

[fast wigeon]

o what is it

if its not spoilers obvs

[atomic egret]

don't want to say just in case

[fast wigeon]

alright

[sly monolith]

what are yalls achievement ideas for dusk

silence

[vale oar]

The dumbest ones

[vague egret]

Last I looked, we had close to 200 suggestions

[vale oar]

TWO HUNDRED

fuck me

people are really into it

[mild chasm]

Dusk is gonna have 5 thousand achievements

You can count on that

[opal plover]

"assisted fratricide"

Get a Duke brother to kill the other one

[sly monolith]

"M-M-M-MONSTER KILL!"

kill every enemy in the game

genius idea i know

[viral gate]

"Monster zero ultra energy drink"

Sip.

[sly monolith]

Pis

[viral gate]

Nice and easy one

[crude forge]

hey, the flashlight breaks twice in ep2, right?

[acoustic oriole]

as I remember, yeah

[crude forge]

ok good

i had an achievement idea and wanted to check the legitimacy of it

[opal plover]

More flashlight breaking action soon in Episode 3

[mild chasm]

How old is that flashlight to break on a fall

Or did he get it from a gas station

We need the flashlight lore for Dusk

[vale oar]

"More flashlight breaking action soon in Episode 3"

👍

Crypt of the Flesh

[acoustic oriole]

here's a pointless one
"Open wide" - Gib a horror with the super shotgun

[vale oar]

"break your flashlight 10 times" haha

[acoustic oriole]

"Fool me once" - Engage an ambushing Scarecrow before it awakens

[opal plover]

I don't think you can attack them before they awake?

[acoustic oriole]

you can

[crude forge]

no you cant

i tried

alot

[vale oar]

yeah they're invulnerable

[crude forge]

wasted all my ammo doing it too

[acoustic oriole]

But... it worked in the pre-pre-pre-alpha D:

[vale oar]

feh

[crude forge]

well this is the pre-pre-pre-pre beta

welcome to beta town, sonny bhoye

[acoustic oriole]

regardless of achievement ideas, that's something worth changing

[vale oar]

I wish Scarecrows could awake randomly

[crude forge]

yeah, i agree

[vale oar]

cause there are static ones

[opal plover]

Okay alongside the toilet skull in E1M7 that's one of the things that had no reason to be changed

[fast wigeon]

scarecrows are fine

the static ones are to keep you guessing

if every scarecrow came to life it would get stale fast

[opal plover]

Yeah anyway you can't shoot static scarecrows in the pre pre pre alpha

[delicate sail]

Making the ones that awake random would add some variety to runs though

[fast wigeon]

that would be bad for speedrunners tho

and how would that work for 100% kills

[opal plover]

Eh but that's part of the level design though

[fast wigeon]

preplaced enemy positions are better

[delicate sail]

With a fixed number of those that awake the rng would be... calculable...

[fast wigeon]

part of the appeal is learning the levels anyway

[delicate sail]

But yeah it'd make speedrunning a bit harder

[fast wigeon]

remembering which scarecrows are real can be just as satisfying as being surprised by them

[delicate sail]

I just love the psychological horror aspect of the scarecrows

Which is gone once you know

Then again, the fact that non-transforming scarecrows are a thing will be fun for custom content.

Regardless of whether they will be randomized in the main campaign or not

[clever wasp]

could be modded in easily tbh

[vale oar]

I also wish Wendigos could change their spawn position

but with fixed number

[clever wasp]

if someone mods that in, I will host a stream of said mod just to let people see me getting mauled by Wendigos 0.2 seconds after the start of a level 3 times in a row

[opal plover]

I'm gonna make a mod that can make melee enemies move while moving

[delicate sail]

Mod idea: make all enemies Wendigos

[opal plover]

Actually is that a thing priestesses do?

[crude forge]

NO

[clever wasp]

to be fair an enemy pseudo-randomizer mod could be neat

[delicate sail]

Ye

[clever wasp]

or episode randomizer

[delicate sail]

Or boss randomizer

[opal plover]

Or texture randomizer

[clever wasp]

R A N D O M I Z E E V E R Y T H I N G

the next level of procedurally generated games: "We just let an AI do it"

[delicate sail]

Oh no...

[clever wasp]

this gonna happen folks

[delicate sail]

Don't strafe DUSK

[crude forge]

how about a chaotic mess known as a co-op campaign mod

[opal plover]

Imagine one of those text to image generators but it's text to game

[clever wasp]

well you could

you'd need at least a solid AI for that however

[crude forge]

Text-To-Dusk

[clever wasp]

like, take an AI that generates Zork-like scripts, but as input

[crude forge]

Dusk-To-Speech?

[delicate sail]

Coop campaign might luckily likely be a thing with DAWN anyways

[clever wasp]

feed it to a script that builds a level based on this

[opal plover]

Dusk the alexa text adventure

[crude forge]

This is so sad, alexa play Pac Baby

you thought i was gonna say "Despacito"

[opal plover]

Like that one skyrim version

[clever wasp]

for real, I've had worse DMs than Alexa

[opal plover]

Guys

[crude forge]

oh no i just thought of something

[opal plover]

Duskworld as an alexa text adventure game

[crude forge]

dusk, but every enemy is b i g j o h n

[delicate sail]

I just won a google home mini and I have no clue what the hell I'm supposed to use it for.

[crude forge]

you live in it @delicate sail

[delicate sail]

So generating DUSK levels might be an idea

[vale oar]

BIG JAHN YEA

UGHAHA

[opal plover]

Ask it to play good music

Let's see what it's taste in music is

[clever wasp]

the first music video in Youtube tendancies

[crude forge]

google, play Silvagunner Sonic 3 Invincibility

continues playing for a whole hour

[delicate sail]

Ok google, show me episode 3

[vale oar]

BSOD

[clever wasp]

we should make a voice assistant with the voice of Big John

[crude forge]

ok google, show me a video on youtube that was actually monetized

[clever wasp]

whose activation command is CMAHN

[delicate sail]

Ooooh

[vale oar]

DOITNOW

[delicate sail]

That's an incredible idea

[crude forge]

starts playing a "DO NOT SPIN INFINITY WAR FIDGET SPINNER AT 3 AM" video

[delicate sail]

Does Dave have it set up like that?

[clever wasp]

asking the important questions

[delicate sail]

I need that google home mod in my life

Sooo... DUSK achievements, huh? Kinda got off topic for some reason...

[clever wasp]

we always do

to be fair I'm pretty sure most achievements are already sort of covered anyway

I'm only really gunning for the names at this point

[crude forge]

i made a few

[delicate sail]

"Chur Niggurath" - telefrag the ep2 boss

[crude forge]

some of which are related to flashlights, synthwave, and beer

[opal plover]

Synthwave?

[clever wasp]

musical genre

[delicate sail]

Talking about which...

[crude forge]

i made an "AESTHETIC" achievement

[opal plover]

That's vaporwave

[crude forge]

you have to beat E2M5 with "Fury Dragon" on

[clever wasp]

did you know that AESTHETIC is an Amid Evil cheat code

[crude forge]

cool

i also think i made the hardest achievement ever for dusk

[delicate sail]

"You're gonna hurt your neck" - headbang to the e1m10 track while fighting the boss

[clever wasp]

I think I've done four so far and they're all easy-ish

the trickiest I submitted is Mirror Force, kill a boss mob with a reflected projectile

[vale oar]

"Jab's dead baby"
-find E3MS2

[crude forge]

nightmare mode + intruder, max pixellization, clown vomit mode, no autoaim, etc., and beat all 3 chapters like that

[clever wasp]

I don't think the game can track much of anything across all three chapters

except individual level medals

so this prevents most shit like "Clear the entire game without dying"

[opal plover]

"Jab's loss" find E3MS2

[clever wasp]

to me it seems like this form is just an excuse for a pun contest

most of what I've submitted is a pun one way or the other

[delicate sail]

"What year is this?" Find Dopefish

[clever wasp]

nah man, it needs to be "Dopefish Lives"

[opal plover]

"The well of wishes"

[vale oar]

DON'T GO IN THE WELL

[crude forge]

the well?

not sure i remember a well

[clever wasp]

you don't

[vale oar]

It's e3m3

[clever wasp]

it's in E3

[crude forge]

oh ok

[opal plover]

I meant the commander Keen level lol

[crude forge]

man, i sure love playing e3

i love the part in e3 where it prevents me from playing it because the option is greyed out

[clever wasp]

soon(tm)

[vale oar]

Looks like someone did not watch both PAX streams 😉

[crude forge]

nope

[jade root]

Someone wasn't at Qcon to play ep3 hehe

[vale oar]

lol

[crude forge]

someone doesn't have a means of getting there, heh

someone nearly missed the doom eternal stream because they slept in, heh

[vale oar]

and someone's just a lazy fuck:(

[crude forge]

because someone lives in an entirely different country

[jade root]

Not my fault you don't live in freedom town

[delicate sail]

Oof

[vale oar]

yeah true about the country

[jade root]

Oi

[thorn trout]

Rule 1

[jade root]

Rules my boi

[opal plover]

DEV IN CHAT

[crude forge]

i know, just trying to sum up canada compared to america

[jade root]

How's evacuating, David?

[opal plover]

Dude did you read my acheevos ideas

[crude forge]

that was the first thing that came to mind

[delicate sail]

[opal plover]

please please

[vale oar]

David is backseatting ban him 😛

[thorn trout]

@jade root actually not too bad. We got up super early so we avoided most of the traffic

[jade root]

Oh nice!

You've missed some real cold shitty weather

So take your time coming home

[thorn trout]

Oof

[crude forge]

cold? lucky

we've been in a month-long heatwave advisory

[jade root]

From high 80s to low 50s

Within a day

[thorn trout]

Wow

That will be fun to come back to 😐

[mild chasm]

David coming home from vacation?

[thorn trout]

Yeah hurricane evac

[vale oar]

yeah to cancel ep3

[mild chasm]

Why not both

He's going to cancel EP3 because of the hurricane

[thorn trout]

We didn't even get half way through the week lol

[vale oar]

E3M5, Hurricane... 🤔

[jade root]

David is coming home, then he's gonna finish climbing out of the hell he dug himself, then hes gonna dissapear for a year

Gon b epic

[opal plover]

The rising winds bring the stench of rotten meat

[vale oar]

^

[crude forge]

then we're gonna get dusk 2 hellectric boogaloo about 10 years from now

[jade root]

Spearheaded by Leon

[crude forge]

it's gonna have loot boxes up the ass, and it's gonna glow in the FUCKING dusk

[graceful wing]

Leno

[jade root]

Leon S Kennedy

MEEESTER KENADEEE

[graceful wing]

Uh oh jab is chat

[jade root]

henlo

[thorn trout]

Dusk 2 is weird for me to think about because Dusk is already sort of a trilogy

[crude forge]

i need lore

[jade root]

CHURUNO

[crude forge]

what about doom 2 @thorn trout

[mild chasm]

Resident Evil 4 had a chainsaw shaped controller, so does that mean Dusk will get two controllers shaped like sickles?

[graceful wing]

Churuno no big John kyoshitsu

[jade root]

technically dusk is 3 games in one

[delicate sail]

Oh damn, hope the evac is going well!

[crude forge]

BRUH that would be good for a switch controller

also, best of luck @thorn trout

with the thing

[opal plover]

Yeah we love you David!

[crude forge]

and the other thing

[slate edge]

Dusk 2 will be a tactical survival shooter set in los angeles.

to win you must buy Dave dinner

[thorn trout]

@crude forge yeah but dooms episodes were developed kind of at the same time and ep1 was intended to be the showpiece, whereas dusk episodes have been done in order and each one is trying to one up the previous one. So it's more like a self contained trilogy

[mild chasm]

Winner winner buy dave dinner

[crude forge]

good point

[jade root]

Dusk Redshift will be out first

[thorn trout]

Also thanks, we will be safe 🙂

[jade root]

E3MS2 hints at redshift

[crude forge]

dusk 4 will just be a starbound mod

[opal plover]

David, is Jab fucking with us about E3MS2

[crude forge]

dusk 5 is a racing game for some reason

[opal plover]

I don't actually think he is

[crude forge]

whats redshift

[opal plover]

LIke he turned it into a meme later on

[jade root]

The dlc for dusk

Is redshift

[opal plover]

^^^^

[crude forge]

oh ok

[jade root]

Based off of Davids FAVORITE dlc Blueshift

[opal plover]

Day one too

[thorn trout]

If we did an achievement for finding e3ms2 I don't think anyone would get it

[opal plover]

What a shame

Jabronii this is why everyone bullies you

[slate edge]

but what if google?

[crude forge]

uh

amazon redshift?

[vale oar]

Yeah Jab is obviously bullshittin us

[jade root]

David hid that level real good

It's kinda bs tbh

It'll be interesting to see who finds it first

[crude forge]

to find it you must first play E.T. for atari

[vale oar]

woah

[crude forge]

ah lag

i love it

[thorn trout]

I need to replay the hl expansions. I remember liking blue shift but it's been years

[jade root]

David

[vale oar]

didn't get into both of 'em

[jade root]

We replayed all of it

A year ago

In sven

[crude forge]

ah sven

[viral gate]

Just replayed though both real fun

[thorn trout]

Sven doesn't count

[crude forge]

what a shitshow

[thorn trout]

Sven is always a complete mess and it's wonderful

[jade root]

Rip those days tho

Sven was the shit

[crude forge]

wow damn i wanted to look up that PAX stream, and apparently dusk has a 10/10 rating

nice job guys, you did a thing

[thorn trout]

Yeah miss nb vc gaming. Was fun.

[mild ginkgo]

^

[crude forge]

not sure what the thing was, but you did it good

[mild ginkgo]

fear

pls

ive been playing fear the past few days

[slate edge]

I remember everyone in sven co-op meming

[crude forge]

i remember some good servers where you could level up and become so damn op

[jade root]

No you haven't

[crude forge]

i think it was possible to 1-shot a gargantuan

[thorn trout]

Playing fear is a good way to spend time

[jade root]

You've been playing SS3D

[slate edge]

FEAR combat 👌

[thorn trout]

I am close to finishing ss3d

[jade root]

It's like an hour and a half long

Perfect length tbh

[thorn trout]

Yeah I have to be close to the end

It's like if someone took a bunch of really directionlessly angry Slavs, shot them full of drugs, and told them to recreate condemned in zdoom

[crude forge]

so, russian overkill?

[thorn trout]

No there's some sense to Russian overkill

[crude forge]

lmao what

[mild ginkgo]

i really wish there were more games like fear

[crude forge]

"there's some sense to russian overkill"
you feeling alright, david?

[thorn trout]

Sharpshooter is like mentally deranged slavclunk elevated to performance art

[opal plover]

Maximum Action to the rescue

[thorn trout]

Maximum Action has the potential to be something great

[mild ginkgo]

i mean maximum action is nothing like fear reaally

but i do like the direction its headed in

[slate edge]

the dev seems really chill

[thorn trout]

He is

[vale oar]

screw you shill

[crude forge]

oh no what have you done

you've awakened the apocalypse

[vale oar]

What have I done? I've just noticed it is E3M5 at the preview

[crude forge]

ok i just thought of something stupid

[opal plover]

What preview?

[crude forge]

we need a mod that replaces monika from ddlc with shillbot

[delicate sail]

On my way to the nuclear shelter. See y'all later, meatbags.

[crude forge]

BAM, PROFIT

[vale oar]

that pic from steam store

[crude forge]

wow, no time wasted on the "weeb" thing

[opal plover]

That was drawn way before E3M5 was a thing

[vale oar]

but hell, IT IS E3M5 isn't it?

[opal plover]

Not really

[vale oar]

well okay maybe an earlier version

[opal plover]

No

Not an earlier version

[vale oar]

oof

[opal plover]

foo

[crude forge]

guys

i just learned about the fast fingers thing

THANK YOU, WHOEVER ADDED THAT

[slate edge]

E3MS3 vomitorium

[crude forge]

all games need a thing like that

[opal plover]

Now we just wait for infinite ammo

[crude forge]

yessssss

also i saw yahtzee review dusk

oddly he did it in the same video as literally the worst game of 2017-18

[vale oar]

that's not true

'cause Dusk is the worst game EVER

[delicate sail]

Yeah I remember being surprised that Yahzee didn't like it as much as, say, GGGMan

I'm curious what his verdict's gonna be once DUISK hits 1.0. Iirc, he only reviewed DUSK EA when Ep1 was out.

[opal plover]

Ep 2 too

[thorn trout]

I would guess that's probably the only video he will be doing on the game.

[graceful wing]

Can't spell dusk without suk

[vale oar]

cyka

[mild chasm]

Desert Busk

[crude forge]

oh shit

that reminds me, has anyone tried to play that desert bus remake on pc?

emphasis on tried?

[delicate sail]

Yeah possibly. I mean it's all subjective and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That said, I do disagree on his critique of the level design quite a bit though.

And early 3d graphics will always be... let's say... controversial 😁

[vale oar]

idk the level design is FINE imo

[thorn trout]

Level design and model fidelity are two different things that he mashes together yeah

[slate edge]

Dusk has better graphics than most AAA games made in the past few years, the image isnt cluttered and horrible.

[thorn trout]

He criticises level design but what he's actually talking about is the model/architecture fidelity

[vale oar]

Dusk is not about "grafix" from the tech. point of view, it's all about being splendid by USING old-styled grafix

[mild ginkgo]

e3mS2

[vale oar]

fuck.

[slate edge]

E3ms3

[jade root]

haha nice meme

or is it a meme

[thorn trout]

I mean his whole schtick is being nitpicky about stuff so it's hardly surprising he'd go for the visuals. Not a big deal, especially since mostly he had good things to say

[jade root]

david hows the secret level coming?

[delicate sail]

True

[slate edge]

decompiles all ep3 maps and loads them up in trenchbroom through hacker magic

[thorn trout]

Everyone's talking about e3ms2 and here I am all about that e3m12

[graceful wing]

Man those new secret level(s) are wacky!

[vale oar]

you know what

fu guys

[jade root]

yknow what

piss of

[vale oar]

no u

[opal plover]

Anyway how's the boss fight coming along?

[jade root]

[jade root]

david does boss fight better than monhun tbh

[slate edge]

monhun4u

[thorn trout]

Thanos car in dusk you say? 🤔

[graceful wing]

Thanos car

[slate edge]

Jab with infinity gauntlet

[modest mortar]

yeah, this idea is so great it might require a whole episode to itself

ep 4 confirmed?

[thorn trout]

As in

4tnite?

[modest mortar]

[delicate sail]

But... Dusk battle royale was confirmed already 🤔

[thorn trout]

Well yeah what do you think ep4 is?

[slate edge]

tHy MEMES CONSUMED

[jade root]

god i wish

id make 2hu a reality

[vale oar]

"ep4 with narration from Jab"

quickly deletes all sound files

[clever wasp]

just put the Joker's laugh on repeat

basically the same thing

[jade root]

see i dont believe that we live in a society

[clever wasp]

or audio from a Naruto episode

[modest mortar]

Believe It!

[graceful wing]

We most certainly do

Gamers rise up

[jade root]

just put on a clip of aya going "ayayayayayayayaya"

me irl

once you beat ep 4

ur added to the gamer compilation

[clever wasp]

ep4 will be called "The Duskord Asylum" and just be a meme compilation

[jade root]

Jabs top 20 memes

1. Thanos car

[clever wasp]

cultists will say "SOON" upon seeing Duskdude

[modest mortar]

can you drive the Thanos car?

or is it like, only 50% of people can drive it

[delicate sail]

Haha @clever wasp , that WOULD be a great promo for Ep3

[clever wasp]

we need to get Zombie on it

speaking of

who does the cultists' voice ?

[jade root]

Andrew

He does all the voices except for John

[woeful plover]

For now.

hinthint

[jade root]

;)

There might be a suprise

Down the road

[woeful plover]

I have some lines done/submit for fork miaden

err maiden

I'm working on some more thouigh

[modest mortar]

past the burger king?

[mild chasm]

Anyone can drive the Thanos Car but it only has a driver seat

[woeful plover]

ANd maybe some others.

[clever wasp]

if the final boss does not have a sound byte of David (or Dave, I'm fine with either) going "em llik tsum uoy, emag eht niw ot" I wil be disappoint

[woeful plover]

Dude, me too.

Like, that so needs to be a thing

[jade root]

The final boss is something that will make people happy. I can promise that

[delicate sail]

Icon of Sin 2

[jade root]

Lolno

[modest mortar]

lmao

[jade root]

Not that

[clever wasp]

also on a semi related note, please tell me there is/will be a Developer Room

[jade root]

Way cooler

[modest mortar]

is it robo hitler 2?

[delicate sail]

A mech of Caleb, the Duke, Ranger and Doomguy?

[clever wasp]

nah the boss must be defeatable

that's kind of a necessary thing

(also that kind of boss will replace the actual final boss with an army of lawyers)

[acoustic oriole]

the chief level designer of Wolfenstein 2, using a mech

[jade root]

It's Mike Love

From The Beach Boys

[clever wasp]

should have been Owen Wilson

[modest mortar]

wow

good suggestion

[acoustic oriole]

That fight has to include Surfin' USA

otherwise 0/10 shit game

[delicate sail]

Damn, you didn't lie when you said it will make people happy.

[mild chasm]

That's a pretty ballsy move

Mike Love is bound to sue you guys for that

[jade root]

good

[mild chasm]

Is this because you guys hate money

[modest mortar]

thanos car will take care of him

[delicate sail]

How convenient that there's already an email alias in place for Mike to contact

[jade root]

[e-mail]

[delicate sail]

[jade root]

and if you're really mad, [e-mail]

[delicate sail]

Does the first one actually lead anywhere or were you just shitposting all along?

[vague egret]

The Dave email is real

[jade root]

ye

thats his "work" email iirc

[delicate sail]

Why am I not surprised?

[jade root]

nb is a serious company

[fast wigeon]

i thought work on the boss hadnt really started yet

and if it has, is it comin along like dave wanted

cos he said during the first ep3 stream that he has big plans for the ending

[delicate violet]

Its just a bunch of clips of Thanos doing the fortnite dance

[fast wigeon]

neat

[quiet rose]

Patience 💯

[vale oar]

patience-100

🤔

100 more years?

Ok.

[fast wigeon]

win big NOW!!

[vale oar]

pin pls

[jade root]

id really rather not atm

[prisma ivy]

Its a trick

A ruse

[jade root]

not with davids pin being the most recent

[fast wigeon]

if u pin it people might think its serious too

[vale oar]

ah yeah

[opaque spindle]

knowing this server probably

[vale oar]

david's info is really imp-ant for most ppl

[jade root]

are you really too lazy to type important

[vale oar]

Y.

[jade root]

🤔

[vale oar]

i'm the laz-st m-n in the w-ld

[fast wigeon]

a y r t2 l 2 ty imp-ant

[mild chasm]

It feels so close that I'm actually getting more patient

[fast wigeon]

im getting less patient the closer i know it is

its more frustrating when its so tantalisingly close

[mild chasm]

The way I look at it as that I've waited this long

it's so close and David's been a good boi so it's worth some more patience

[fast wigeon]

o no im not gonna have a go at david or smth

but i want it more than i have done at any point in the past

[vale oar]

canceled

[fast wigeon]

its been cancelled ever since it was announced according to u

[mild chasm]

I mean it has

Dusk is just like Duke Nukem Forever

it'll be in development forever because of the fact it keeps getting cancelled then handed off to someone else

David is not actually the name of a man, it's a title inherited by those who are developing dusk

[slate edge]

Susk

[mild chasm]

Desert Busk

[clever wasp]

so it's gonna be an okay game, but shitcanned by every single critic because of the ludicrous development time/history ?

[mild chasm]

It's gonna be a terrible dusk game

and not worth the wait time

[fast wigeon]

It's a good game, just not a good DUSK game.

[mild chasm]

and also arguably not that great of a game even on it's own two feet as it relies entirely on Dusk humor that's clearly meant to appeal to Dusk veteran fans who've been waiting for so long that isn't done as well as it once was

and yet the gameplay decisions are clearly intended for a new target audience that is decidedly not Dusk fans

so the game ends up making everyone dislike it

Duskdude also won't be as cool as he was in the games everyone knew and loved

[fast wigeon]

why cant they just make DUSK games like 1 and 2 and New Erebus, instead of this dumbed down mainstream crap with no FPS elements like in DUSK 4😔

[mild chasm]

Such a shame that David had to sell the rights to Gearbox and then EA and such

[thorn trout]

I like this new narrative

Honestly I enjoyed my time with Duke nukem forever. It definitely wasn't great but it was okay and all the interaction gimmicks were fun. A pretty solid 6.5/10

[clever wasp]

^

[thorn trout]

The PC improvements helped too

[clever wasp]

got crushed under its own hype mostly

[prisma ivy]

Duke Nukem Forever is the epitome of the pretty ok shooter

[thorn trout]

Being able to carry 4 weapons and the like

@prisma ivy yeah definitely

[solar olive]

It felt ok to play. Too much hype to get it right at people's expectations though.
Like half life 3, If they release it now, how would it be?

[thorn trout]

Most of the hate was because of its legacy and objections to the purile humor

[clever wasp]

HL3 might be a different beast, the series as a whole rely on storytelling more than raw gameplay

[fast wigeon]

ye p much

[clever wasp]

if you take HL2 as a pure shooter, at face value, it's... pretty okay

[fast wigeon]

hl1 was a pretty crap shooter

[thorn trout]

I mean... Take hl2 as a narrative shooter and it's quite poor tbh

[fast wigeon]

i think hl2 has pretty enjoyable combat

[thorn trout]

Hl2 was very much about the tech and the journey, not the story or gunplay

[fast wigeon]

its the level design and the tight pacing that cement it as being great

plus the variety in scenarios and encounters

[vale oar]

the best narrative game was Pathologic imo. It's FUCKING WEIRD but it's cool in terms of narration

[clever wasp]

also, while the story is... something, HL2 focuses more on storytelling

and truth be told, in 2004, Valve's way of bringing the story was new

[thorn trout]

I've Pick Lodge is like on an entire other level than the rest of us when it comes to telling a story through gameplay

[fast wigeon]

i havent played pathologic but the thief games are very good at marrying story themes and gameplay

[vale oar]

^

[thorn trout]

HL2 definitely had good storytelling intentions yeah. It owes a lot to immersive Sims though

The story itself undermines it a lot unfortunately

[fast wigeon]

also didnt unreal do the whole "one perspective journey" thing before half-life

[thorn trout]

HL1 did the schtick better, but HL2 also had an amazing world so...

[solar olive]

yeah, through journal notes.

[clever wasp]

Unreal 1 had about as much story as Quake tbh

[thorn trout]

@fast wigeon yeah it did, although to be fair it relied more on logs than environmental storytelling

[fast wigeon]

ye unreal had a basic story but i meant the way you move through the game

like how every level is connected

[thorn trout]

HL2 does do a good job with environmental storytelling

I mean... You could argue build games did that first if you want to go way back

[fast wigeon]

yeaa but build games werent 100% consistent with it

and level transition screens broke the illusion a little

• you couldnt backtrack in build

[clever wasp]

there were transitions in HL2 too tbf

[thorn trout]

That's true

[clever wasp]

oh wait no I'm dumb

you're talking about like the kill tally screen

[thorn trout]

Unreal 1 actually had a lot of story if you read the logs. Which is kind of an overdone thing now but at the time it was very cool

You follow d different characters and stuff

Was neat

[solar olive]

Hexen had a hub system, you could go through several interconnected levels and things you did on one level could change in another level. Haven't played that much of hexen to give a solid opinion though.

[fast wigeon]

the main issue with unreals story is that you didnt really know your overarching objective

[thorn trout]

Unreal 1 did a lot of things well

[fast wigeon]

i think one of the logs tells you to get to the sunspire, which gives you a goal, but thats kinda obscure

[thorn trout]

@fast wigeon ehh fair enough. I mean if I'm honest I'm very seldom motivated by the story in an fps

[fast wigeon]

still, i think just knowing what your endgame is from the start helps it feel like a journey

like how you know in half life 2 your final objective is the citadel

[clever wasp]

the overarching objective, at first, is "Your ship crashed. Do you want to send an error report ? Find a way to get the fuck off of this planet before you get turned into Skaarj food"

[thorn trout]

Yeah you're probably right

[clever wasp]

then the Nali come in

[thorn trout]

Also an issue with dusk

[fast wigeon]

u couldnt have really done it with dusk anyway, unless you planned episode 3 right from the start

and dusk is more of a quake with story and level progression than it is a unreal or half life

which is perfectly fine and has its advantages

[thorn trout]

Yeah and dusk never started as a game with much of a plot, more a setup and a world

Dave and I have different ideas of where the game needed to go story wise and the final product is mostly Dave narrative and my world building. With some overlap.

[fast wigeon]

ah

[thorn trout]

I like the experience aspect, Dave likes the lore aspect

[fast wigeon]

well if dave is better at narrative and ur better at world building then thats a good thing, aslong as its cohesive

btw the environmental story telling u put in gives the game a bunch more replay value

[clever wasp]

also the game might just not need a complex narrative

[fast wigeon]

stuff like how the secret in escher labs has lore implications about the black phillips

[clever wasp]

as I point out often, back in my day, all the narrative we had was "The princess has been kidnapped, rescue her", and it still made great, unforgettable games

(or more closely, "You're on Mars. You have a gun. Zombies. GO")

[fair mirage]

ah so that's how big john slipped past

[thorn trout]

👍

[mild chasm]

slipped the big john in

Also Doom's story was in it's manual

and in between episodes

[fast wigeon]

u could probably figure out the doom story without the text and manual tbh

[clever wasp]

still boils down to "Mars, Zombies, guns, hell, rip and tear"

[fast wigeon]

demons running around and dead marines is all you really need

[mild chasm]

Man punches demons to super hell

[clever wasp]

yep

[mild chasm]

man is upstanding marine

[clever wasp]

Dusk turns out to be a bit like that tbqh

treasure hunter, insane cult, demons, cigars, HAHAHA CMAHN

[mild chasm]

That's likely what David was going for

[fast wigeon]

the treasure hunter thing might not even be canon

because dave said it

[clever wasp]

you gain armor from collecting coins. either you're a treasure hunter or a tax collector

[mild chasm]

If David's letting Dave shape the storytelling of Dusk then it's almost certainly canon at this point

Also that

It's also the only basis of an image you can give to dusk dude

[fast wigeon]

btw jab actually confirmed on steam forumns that duskdude is going to have a proper identity that will be revealed

he wasnt shitposting either

[mild chasm]

Which is important for crap like fan art to help keep the game alive in the minds of people and crap like that

That's good to hear

[fast wigeon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/240432519990738944/489025990195019794/Capture.PNG

[clever wasp]

or it's a completely different and unexpected reason

[fast wigeon]

maybe ye

[mild chasm]

And then he was the cultists
