@jade root I did watch it. Twas good.
jade root
oh goodie!
thorn trout
I watched some more of his stuff too. Good channel.
fast wigeon
his thumbnails make it look like its going to be some super generic game review but its actually good content
jade root
sseth is fucking funny
fast wigeon
ok yeah i have watched some of his reviews
the rimworld one
just remember it kinda being edgy humour
winged otter
my favourite sseth is Heroes 4 reviewπ

The only things that matter for the final boss are:
- Introduction (tower of babel had the strongest enemies the player knew at that point slaughtered and on the wall in the starting area, telling the player this is one mean big POS)
- Good Arena (A boss is as only as good as their Arena)
- Challenge without Bullshit
- Memorable (Big John is an arnie caricature; a big goofy ass boss)
- Recognizable design and unique attack patterns (A lot of bosses in Dusk suffer in this department since they're just upgraded mooks)
Another thing is this, if you're trying too hard, ease back, DUSK is simple and an 90s throwback FPS not an RPG or Doom 2016, so having a boss with multiple stages or extreme gimicks should be redesigned ASAP to fit in the game, there's nothing wrong with multiple attacks ofc.
brittle lark
i just don't want the boss to be a simply bullet sponge
crisp lion
We've already got the Cowgirl derivative bosses for that, as well as the Guardian, so that shouldn't be an issue.

is it still cancel?
crisp lion
truth is, it was cancelled from the start.

Guys both Ep3 flying enemies are made of bone π€
vague egret
lies and heresy
flat swift
Wendigos are also made from bone, just slight chunks of meat left on the bone, but their head skulls and rib cage are exposed.
opal plover
Well wendigos are pretty much skin on bone, barely any muscle mass
crisp lion
dude, wendigos are absolute units
opal plover
The guardian is a unit and a half
crisp lion
It is fine to say they don't have any fat
opal plover
Shambler?
opal plover
This is #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk
opal plover
I can show you a bony subject
final estuary
i'm just saying like
flat swift
The Staff of Wisdom!
crisp lion
flat swift
Teach me thy ways
final estuary
is the wendigo even comparable to other big enemies from similar fpses
crisp lion
Spectres
final estuary
but like in terms of the shambler or baron
opal plover
Cowgirls are the big annoying and powerful enemies in dusk
final estuary
oh right
opal plover
Honestly an Ep3 enemy should have taken this place to be honest
final estuary
it's weird because the cowgirls function more like a cyberdemon than anything
opal plover
The horrors seem strong but not terribly much
flat swift
OH Wow, you know it just dawned on me. There is no flying enemies in Dusk, It just hit me...I mean, I am having so much fun with DUSK that...Just.. I feel dumb
crisp lion
It seems EP3 may have something comparable to the Baron of Hell/Shambler, but that's if it's even a standard enemy, seems to be a boss.
opal plover
Bone monks and bone balls coming in Ep3 though
flat swift
Bone balls sound like a party.
opal plover
crisp lion
This thing is in the files, but for obvious reasons, I can't say anything
crimson folio
The BeastΒ΄s parasites
opal plover
Bone balls are supposedly a work in progress but I don't see what really there is to finish to them
flat swift
OH HELL YEAH! THat's what I am talking about! I will have to update my review when EP3 comes out, that would make my previous criticism of lackign enemy varieties outdated
opal plover
I like the bullet hell esque gameplay the bone balls seem to bring
crimson folio

So I'm at the Dig
And after the message o got from. Blood and bone I'm just sitting here like

flat swift
Also, I do need to ask. About Endless game mode, will there be a setting for Random enemy spawns? I noticed in maps that enemies are same to fit the theme. I would like random so I will never know what to expect in Randomly spawned enemies. Would make Endless more awesome! Could it be a leatherneck? Or a Wielder, Or a Bone Ball?
opal plover
Custom maps will be a thing
neon dove
opal plover
Anyway the Ep3 endless looks like it has all the game's enemies but that's probably placeholder spawns
In any cases custom all enemies endless maps will definitely be a thing
final estuary
am i the only one that thinks ep2 endless is way too small
flat swift
Well, I do like the idea of pure random, like there is a chance of 3 wendigos spawning in the Farm map with 2 Bone balls. Not asking for more maps, just a thing you can toggle on and off. Like I wouldn't even mind if it was a complete unfair spawn, that's what would make it fun. Expect the unexpected.
final estuary
i guess
crimson folio
if lucky
final estuary
i've gotten to wave 25 on the farm map while i only do like up to 10 or 11 on the facility map
flat swift
I almost got to wave ten in Factory on Cero Miedo. I got a needl to the eye, those buggers run at the speed of light and is almost a one hit kill
final estuary
scientists are pretty easy to kill but are devastating if they catch you off guard
crimson folio

You mean on duskmare? @crimson folio
opal plover
Anyway Ep3 endless in it's current state https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/1044884717164797952
crimson folio
endless 3 = 3x enemy count
flat swift
MORE CHALLENGE! MORE LOVE! HURT ME MORE DUSK!
opal plover
Yeah imagine welders in a big open endless map with the flying mechanic Dave teased
crimson folio
TILL DAWN
flat swift
HRK!
opal plover
Anyway that cathedral endless reminds me of this old alpha endless map
flat swift
Dat timed flip shot!
crimson folio
π€ maybe the new Cheat "nbufo" is reallated to this mentioned flying mechanic ?!
crimson folio
ez
final estuary
unrelated but something i also like about dusk is that it combines a bunch of different themes like quake
fusing apocalypse, occult, and sci-fi in one
opal plover
^^^^^
flat swift
Ah, I never mess with cheats so, that's probably why. I am an adrenaline junkie for hard difficulties especially from a Quake Esque Game. I need to have that chance of dying or it just isn't fun.
opal plover
You might want to try some of the more open combat arenas like E3M1 with nbufo, it's pretty fun.
neon dove
Welp
Beat the first two Episodes :)
Really enjoyed the game, gonnabplay back on endless and other difficulties and find more secrets
final estuary
so what exactly are the special awards in dusk? i've only recieved completionist and untouchable
opal plover
the others are pacifist and low tech
low tech is for only using melee and thrown objects
Pacifist is for killing no enemies
final estuary
oh
fierce arrow
Pacifist must be a pain to get
past field
Not when you're puffing away on a cigar.
opaque spindle
Pacifist is pretty easy to get up until Cutty Mines
I haven't even bothered with pacifist on episode 2
seems almost impossible
vast tangle
Playing pacifist in a FPS seems anathema to me
clever wasp
pacifist EP2 is easier than pacifist Cutty Mines
prisma kestrel
dammit i read that as "pacifist is just racist mode"
opal plover
Ironically
balmy sluice
giv me endless 3. thank.
opal plover
Yeah let him have it
I hope they make the actual cathedral part bigger though
And more vertically involved
crisp lion
I imagine you'll either be going in the sky or back underground for E3M5
opal plover
Yeah I think Dave said under the cathedral
mild ginkgo
that should be obvious if you think about it
opal plover
Having a vertical air current as an introduction to wind tunnels would be neat though
gleaming berry
NOTHING IS OBVIOUS

Oh so you're saying no flying powerup in Ep3 Dave? π’
I'm kidding you already said that we'll fly in the stream
opal plover
Well yeah Dave said we'll fly at some point in Ep3 may it be powerup or level specific
I mean he was sober last time he was with Jacob right?

Dave can be sober ?
opal plover

Just keep doing what you're doing, this game is awesome! Brings me back to the 90s but kicks arse harder.

final estuary
Actually there's not too many things I find bad with it except maybe some enemies
I fuckin hate my phone
Also neobabel is pretty annoying
final estuary
Yeah none are really bad
opaque spindle
The only good part about Dusk is when its over
final estuary
It's never over
crystal vessel
I think the only problem I could have with DUSK right now is some of the voice acting but that's all.
opaque spindle
My only problem with Dusk is
idk I don't really have any
pretty satisfied with the game
crystal vessel
Yeah it plays really well
rare musk
My only problem with dusk is that i'ts bad lmoa play a real game
final estuary
I like scary voice dude tho
opaque spindle
He's reffering to the fuckin cowmamas or whatever the fuck they're called
I genuinely don't remember
final estuary
Oh those things
crystal vessel
The new voice for the forkmaidens
final estuary
Oh
opaque spindle
Don't think they sound that bad
mild ginkgo
my favorite part about dusk is lording ep3 over everyone and never releasing it
final estuary
I thought you meant the narration from that disembodied voice
crystal vessel
Nah Andrew does fine
final estuary
And not the actual enemies
opaque spindle
why the fuck did I think the fork maidens were called cow mamas
crystal vessel
You might have been thinking the cowgirl
opaque spindle
Did I have a stroke
final estuary
COW SCHET
crystal vessel
And mama is the boss version
rare musk
cowgirls, the boss of which is mama
opaque spindle
You're mama
rare musk
how horrifying
crimson folio
i think the fork maidens are cool with their new sound effects
opaque spindle
Yeah same
final estuary
I don't know their old sound effects so I have no comment
final estuary
Oh
crimson folio
they have more sound effects now and they're pretty good
thorn trout
no their old idle sound is gone
crimson folio
i counldn't notice that\
thorn trout
@woeful plover did the new voices if anyone wants to know
crimson folio
cool
the old sound effects were kind of lacking aint gonna lie
old sound Effect
singular
thorn trout
well I originally wanted each enemy to have a recognizable alert and idle sound so the player could easily aurally keep track of them. Like Doom.
crimson folio
yeah
but doom used alot of stock sound effects
like the camel sound effect
found in age of empires 2
which came later
crisp lion
The SHotgunners, chaingunners and riflemen still have the same alert sounds lol
crisp lion
it's kinda weird for them and the imps to share the same death sfx tho
clever wasp
everything shares the same SFX when you relentlessly gib them
crimson folio
no were talking about the screams
crisp lion
I kinda like how the pre-release they used the Wolfenstein Jaguar death sounds for the zombiemen
crimson folio
reusing assets in games isn't inherently bad if only done sometimes
radiant venture
Quake used a lot of stock sounds too
urban sparrow
fun fact:
A ton of Doom's sounds were part of a soundpack by Mike Mcdonough. I forget what the soundpack is called but I have the original cd's somewhere.
Same with Duke 3D
crimson folio
thank you @urban sparrow very cool
urban sparrow
Duke 3D used SO MANY of his sound design files
radiant venture
yeah I noticed that too when I played Duke 3D
thorn trout
yeah it's unfortunate that some Doom enemies share sound effects
crimson folio

human camels sound like potential nightmarefuel.

Episode 3 is going to be a treat though.

Definitely, experience of the year.
opaque spindle
Reminder episode 3 is a remake of David's best game Sumo Revise
main fog
I can't wait. While I'm waiting I'm probably gonna finish Quake. Only ever finished the second one.
main fog
Wasn't a fan of the second one. I mean it's good, but it's not ID good
opaque spindle
Yeah defintely
thats my biggest problem with tbh
its fine but it isn't anywhere near as good as there previous games
crimson folio
Q2 had some nice movement tech and the railgun
opaque spindle
Also I've said it once I'll say it again once that SDK comes out expect a william riker mod
main fog
I blame the lack of a John Romero for it's blandness
crisp lion
Quake 2 Rocket Launcher is best Rocket Launcher but I digress
main fog
Then again, John R. didn't do too great with Diakatana
crimson folio
I mean, it looks the best
crisp lion
Romero just made Quake brown doom
opaque spindle
Romero and Carmack balance each other out
also there's nothing wrong with brown doom π
anyways Dusk
main fog
Quake is different than doom. It's more physics based than Doom.
opaque spindle
What do you guys wanna see come out of the sdk
crisp lion
Just a DUSK version of GZDoom honestly
opaque spindle
what
main fog
A Dusk sourceport?
mild ginkgo
I mean, that will be fairly accurate lol
main fog
wat
opaque spindle
I think he means modding wise?
mild ginkgo
it sort of functionally is a sourceports
crisp lion
Zombie would probably know what I mean.
mild ginkgo
its a complete rewrite of the game
opaque spindle
I'm honestly really interested to see what the community can come up with
the skys the limit really
crimson folio
DUSK without the speed cap
main fog
Ooohhhhhh
mild ginkgo
givent that it follows a lot of the core philosophy of gzdoom, it should offer a similar experience
crisp lion
well Zombie IS working on DAWN
mild ginkgo
well we actually have a design doc for an un-speedcapped "promode"
main fog
Cool
opaque spindle
huh thats neat
crisp lion
Promode sounds like it's gonna actually be a joke to fuck with Speedrunners
mild ginkgo
somewhat likely to be offered as an example mod
we'll see
well its actually based on speedrunner input
opaque spindle
Can't wait to see some of the total conversions people will inevitably come up with
mild ginkgo
yeah i mean, playing the quake 1 maps in dusk will be a riot
opaque spindle
The thing I expect the most is thousands of e1m1 from Doom remakes
mild ginkgo
very excited for that
crisp lion
but will they have QUAKE content tho?
crimson folio
It'll definitely make at least some headlines somewhere

Will ep3 have elevators?

no
opaque spindle
Elevators are the devils transportation

opaque spindle
Episode 4 is one level long and is just Dave saying "Memes"
crisp lion
Silent dusk
thorn trout
I want to finish the game and for the first time in 3 years do something other than work on Dusk, instead of delaying ep3 to get runtime navmeshes working so there can be elevators, is the sort answer
crisp lion
The fanfiction nobody wanted
opaque spindle
In other words mod the elevators in
first Dusk mod made should be an elevator mod calling it now
slate edge
To be fair wasnt the rain in Dusk done through doors or something interesting like that?
balmy sluice
first Dusk mod is already tide pods
opaque spindle
Almost everything in Dusk is done through doors
winged otter
i wonder how many achievements gonna be in Dusk 1.0
slate edge
1337
opaque spindle
get 300,000 soap kills
balmy sluice
ez
thorn trout
rain is not done with doors actually, but a bunch of other stuff is
like the big red thing in e3m5 (nonspecific to avoid spoilers)
winged otter
just make 3K achievements like in modern WoW and we are good 
slate edge
I kinda get that feeling though when you just want to finish a project, I used to be a perfectionist in level design, it wasnt anything great, but after testing and iterating, I just dumped what I considered playable and never touched the map since.
Still leaves me with regret if im honest, but at least hammer didnt corrupt the file at compile time like later maps.
jaunty meteor
This is going way back and I might be wrong, but IIRC moving platforms/elevators are something that's tentatively planned for the SDK update
i.e. they won't be in the actual game, but they might be something you can utilize in your own maps

mild ginkgo
i think the thing most people didnt quite understand, was that ep2 was like over halfway done when we released ep1
shut mesa
and david didnt get the memo that there'd be a 3rd one until ep2 had been out for 2 weeks
mild ginkgo
last years quakecon, which is around when we launched ep1, ep2 was nearly playable from beginning to end

Now they are doing the best they can to put Duskette into the game
mild ginkgo

I had them all unlocked, so my client worked, but yeah, It was very inconsistent and some achievments were triggered un intentionally or required multiple retries, there were sections when the game didnt always spawn every enemy it was supposed to.

David could pull a Copperfield and finish the boss in like one week

"could" doesn't exactly mean will
mild ginkgo
to paint a picture of clarity
opal plover
They only thing they said was that the arena is just a gray box at this point
mild ginkgo
those are episode reviews they were doing, and none of that actual polishing work has been started
just taking notes for the impending work
opal plover
Also David said that the boss is the one that requires the most involvement from the player so it itself might be a bit more done.
mild ginkgo
well, yeah it progressing
david is doing the lords work
hes been at the grindstone for like a week sraight on that boss
opal plover
Nice
Bet it's gonna be good
And yeah David has been doing the lord's work for quite a while now
crisp lion
well as long as he keeps up the work and doesn't slip back down, there shouldn't be an issue.
It's as depeche mode said, "it's just a question of time"

honestly? i'd be happy with the last boss being just Bigger Johnβ’
just Big John with his model scaled up to 300%

Honestly? I'd be happy with the last bosses being bigger Duke bros

and that "involvement from the player" probably means we would have to make weird arnold noises ourselves
The Duke Brehs

I don't know why but seeing a normal human being just doing something normal people do just feels off
In a good way
In the dusk universe I mean
I'm not that antisocial
crisp lion
involvement from the player? like what? run on some buttons a-la Cthon from Quake?
opal plover
Like do more stuff than strafe around it and shoot
shell arch
maybe some weak points?

a Giant Enemy Crab (tm)
crisp lion
wait I think I might know what David is planning
clever wasp
you must attack its weak point for massive damage

there will be no giant floating baby sorry

i swear to god - if the last boss is going to be a giant beating heart that spawns enemies i'm gonna snap
crisp lion
I meant mechanically scott
shell arch
cause that's the most generic idea one could have (and i wanna do it in my little doom thingy so i'm copyrighting it)
crisp lion
using verticality to the player's advantage, destroying healing crystals, that kinda crap
clever wasp
honestly since it would be the only thing in the entire game that spawns anything other than a projectile, it could work, if done well
crisp lion

the others that arent of hate is because it's romeros head lol

Not sure why but me and my pop used to duel all the time in Cthon's arena
Most deaths came from just knocking each other or slipping into the lava
fun as fuck tho
opal plover
I thought by pop you meant soda and by extent monster energy ultra zero and I was confused for a moment
crisp lion
this is so sad, can DUSKworld have a proper arena map where lava is an actual threat rather than that dinky map with that easily avoidable lava death pit?
opal plover
like just 9 pillars in a lava pit
clever wasp
lava makes everything cooler
viral gate
We need more lava guns though
crisp lion
mod it inβ’
viral gate
Not a bad idea
Should try my hand making something a bit easier, some alternative weapons to DUSK's lineup perhaps?
revolver instead of pistols, sawed off shotguns you can duel wield etc.
bring back the hammer and so forth
crisp lion
m16 instead of m60? give it a click burst ability, held down automatic
opal plover
dark claw instead of the crossbow
viral gate
probably some chaingun like Wolf3D with a rusty look to it
opal plover
chainsaw instead of the sword
viral gate
aw spoiled my surprise already
crisp lion
it's been done
viral gate
Not in Dusk it hasn't
clever wasp
what, the lawnmower ? I remember it has been done, but I don't remember where
pretty sure it was a Doom mod

of course - there are some butts here

and dusk became the next fad game

ohno

That'd be the weirdest timeline
fast wigeon
pfft, duskworld is mainstream trash for little kids. real men play Fortnite
clever wasp
it's weird to think that out there, there is a timeline where Call of Duty never took off, and EA changed the FIFA business model to a "one release per console generation + yearly DLC" format
graceful wing
did someone say fortnite?

must be a really strange world

it's weird to think that out there, there is a timeline where Mirror's edge got a proper sequel...

It's weird to think that there's a timeline where the HL2 episodic content actually came out on time

Imagibe the timeline where dusk isn't actually a thing and it's just a thing David hypnotized us into thinking is real.

For the upcoming quality pass, will it make sense to make a steam thread including bugs and map issues present in the current build that have been reported before, or is there already a list of things that have been reported and are yet to be fixed?
graceful wing
if something's been reported on the forums we will have them on file in our bug tracker
reposting issues won't be necessary π
delicate sail
Cool! Just wanted to make sure to get it right, as some super low priority things have likely been posted quite a while ago.
graceful wing
go ahead and include them if you'd like ofc. whatever works best for you
if there happens to be a few duplicate bugs there that's a np
clever wasp
I have an issue to report, between Sawmill and Ghost Town there's this one annoyingly hard level that is damn near impossible to complete without harming the civilians

@thorn trout Whenever you feel frutrated during Dusk's crunch just remember my wise words, your efforts shall be repaid by the tenfold with spicy memes

Mama is getting a slight nerf

she's annoying

we've lowered the amount of projectiles she fires at a time
so shes less spammy
also some new VO and VO edits from evil andrew voice
Big John has been removed and replaced with Wife of Intoxigator
crisp lion
I mean as long as the plot about her being cowgirl singer is kept for the game as a b-plot point
jaunty meteor
He now says "Okay... now this is epic" after you do a full clear of a level's monsters
gleaming berry
yeah she was a contestant on America's Got Talent
crisp lion
I'm sure the wife of intoxigator thing is an obvious bait
gleaming berry
but she was bad so they cut her legs off
clever wasp
honestly I'd give credence on the Wife of Intoxigator thing just because we fought the rest of the family
gleaming berry
You never know π
clever wasp
or you just slip in a bit of lore that establishes Intoxigators reproduce via parthenogenesis
that also works
crisp lion
I'd be fine if Big John was made a lot more serious
gleaming berry
nah
crisp lion
Intoxigators are probably sewer dumped military experiments that drink the cult's alcohol
gleaming berry
I mean I'm sure there will be a mod that makes big john VOs go away for ur super serious playurs
or you can probably find a way to remove the sound file lol

Yeah but she's just riding one of those amusement park rodeo bulls in it

idk the failed singer with a lot of talent would be pretty tragic for a boss.

I need to find this leaked comic

From what I gather I don't think you in particular would use "tragic" to describe this sort of backstory
crisp lion
from what you 'gather'?
who Ironically jumps into a proposition from the military to become a fucking abomination?
crisp lion
if people didn't like tragedies there wouldn't be tragedies lol
neon dove
You know what the whole Wendigo cloaking/breathing noise reminds me of?

Yeah,I'm catching on to alod of nods to other games I'm really liking
the soldiers also have a dialogue line similar to this
but it's like "Enemy in sight" or something
