best part of E2M10 is the join us teleporter lol
#dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk
crisp lion
delicate sail
Dat tease
With all the polishing and testing still coming up, I'm not getting too hyped just yet
gleaming berry
lol thats from the end of Ep 2
y'all fake ass fans
its the portal from E2M10
its not even new
Daddy is disappoint
exccept @crisp lion who knows everything of course
good job XL
viral gate
exposed
gleaming berry
escept E2M10 rules and ur bad as usual stop being bad play on EZ
viral gate
tsk tsk
mild chasm
I thought it was an indication the first level of EP3 was gonna start with a continuation of the portal
crisp lion
Pfft
watch the PAX West (IIRC) video)
Duskdude is basically thrown out of a hole in the cliff lol
opal plover
Nah Duskdude does come out of a hole in the cliff
We all know all portals lead to those
crisp lion
the end of the portal is legit just a hole in a cliff lol
opal plover
As opposed to being a hole outside of the cliff
opal plover
^
mild ginkgo
it has a frame and everything
ages ago you used to be dropped out of the cliff
it gave the illusion you had teleported out of thin air after the portal
but currently the portal is now there for you to gawk at
opal plover
Also seems like there's be the same kind of teleporter in that blue level
opal plover
Then WHAT IS THIS
mild ginkgo
that level is quite literally the opposite of blue
opal plover
Orange?
mild ginkgo
anyways, as far as the information you currently have, theres no blue level
crisp lion
everyone will be the judge of that when 1.0 drops
opal plover
Aka when the stars align
mild ginkgo
theres nothing to judge about facts
vale oar
stars align when
mild ginkgo
theyre static implicit properties
vale oar
ye
crisp lion
There's no telling where the direction is going atm
opal plover
Yeah I'm glad we have virtually no idea what E3M5-10 will be like
vale oar
xen but blue
crisp lion
E3M10 is still unfinished, heavy WIP, E3 is still being tested up to E3M9, E1, and E2 crits are being worked on.
And this is with David steamrolling on dev even as we speak
mild ginkgo
david is not awake
opal plover
He dreams of a city with no name
mild ginkgo
but yes, he was working on it as recently as....3 hours ago?
crisp lion
It was meant literally jackass
mild ginkgo
ok king of taking everything literally
opal plover
Oof
mild ginkgo
but anyways, yes, what you said is pretty accurate
crisp lion
It's DUSK wiki detective jackass (had to slip in a Nick Valentine ref lol)
mild chasm
Plot twist: 500 is actually color blind and just never found out so he thinks blue is red
gleaming berry
that blue hallway is part of the bottom of blasphemy
cathedral lower level
ya know under the tornado's part
mild ginkgo
DAVE SH
gleaming berry
what let em know things
crisp lion
gleaming berry
then u get to cool stained glass staircase
opal plover
Oh so Scott was lying in his DMs
gleaming berry
which uve seen
crisp lion
would u say that about any other hallway in e3m6 - e3m9 dave?
gleaming berry
what hallway?
vale oar
no u
opal plover
0/10 no fire
vale oar
BAD DOG
opal plover
Please give us one lore
gleaming berry
nah don't wanna spoil new VOs and sich
some new wall texts too
some new lighting for crit paths occasionally
just general polish
and also making story nice and cohesive
rewrote end screen thing for Ep 2
opal plover
I meant like show us the say least interesting new wall message you added
gleaming berry
hahah I think I would but literally all of them add story clues so nah
mild ginkgo
ep3 is unplayable man
vale oar
the new wall message is "BUY DUSK $20 ONLY!" well, you know Dave.
gleaming berry
ep 3 is a scam it just launches Daikatana 2
crisp lion
we getting more than enviromental story tellings and people using blood instead of pens for the lore now Dave?
yes or no
opal plover
Like what if you showed us an Ep1 messages that forshadows Ep2
mild ginkgo
unplayable
gleaming berry
I mean u did see some of that with the SINNER pinned to the gate
WHERE DA SOLDIER COME FROM WHY HE SINNER
mild ginkgo
so greedy
opal plover
Was too mentally powerful
gleaming berry
idk David hasn't implemented new story stuff yet we're just writing it all down then he's gonna get to it after he finish boss
mild ginkgo
all he does is work on the boss all day
crystal vessel
Did that wrong texture in Sawdust ever get fixed
crisp lion
any eta for E3M10 finish?
opal plover
Anyway is the final boss textured at this point?
crisp lion
when its done is old and is answer left to a product still in draft
mild ginkgo
forever
gleaming berry
the boss now has health
mild ginkgo
shipping it untextured
gleaming berry
yes he is textured
opal plover
Anyway I'm suprised a game like Dusk gets as much dev time for a boss
opal plover
Even if it's the final one
mild ginkgo
AND ANIMATIONS
crisp lion
so attacks are still wip?
opal plover
I mean I'd rather belive Dave
mild ginkgo
DONT FORGET THOSE DAVE
gleaming berry
well its the final bossso it's gotta be good
opal plover
You are sober right Dave?
gleaming berry
yes very
crisp lion
so asset wise the b0s is fin?
gleaming berry
I havent had a drink in 3 days be proud of me
crystal vessel
Does the boss have voice acting?
opal plover
That's a collosal achivement as far as I know about you
gleaming berry
yah its in the level and David is working on the mechanics of the fight
we're trying to make it very different than other boss fights
its not just shoot it til it dies
mild ginkgo
also the sounds are still WIP afaik
crisp lion
so attacks and level design itself is still wip
opal plover
Does he say the same 3 lines over and over like Tchernobog?
crisp lion
maybe give or take one or two weeks (maybe, big keyword)
crystal vessel
I don't mind it saying no lines at all other than monster sounds tbh
opal plover
Thing is why would he shut his mouth when he's been taunting you for the entire game?
mild ginkgo
yeah i mean any sounds need time to make
crystal vessel
Oh god
mild ginkgo
YAHAHAGAGAHGHAHA
gleaming berry
and u have to help big john escape
crystal vessel
Uninstalled
mild ginkgo
the least done part of that boss is the arena
mild ginkgo
i mean david takes his time with level design
crystal vessel
It'll take however long it needs to
mild ginkgo
if it was rushed the game would be bad
mild ginkgo
i wasnt even tryna be pretentious
crisp lion
the arena's probs gonna be some sort of chamber or something
mild ginkgo
just that he takes his time to make things good
opal plover
Well I'm willing to bet David already came up with a basic idea of the arena while designing the fight
opal plover
I'm willing to bet the arena will be some sort of map
opal plover
Nice
crisp lion
😮
opal plover
Don't leak pls
vale oar
Giv it 2 me. Now.
mild ginkgo
its ait
gleaming berry
nah I wont too spoiler
crisp lion
your world map
fast wigeon
is it escher
gleaming berry
it has sickle icons on it
crisp lion
gibe it to me
gleaming berry
and a cathedral or two
fast wigeon
o i thought u meant a duskworld map
opal plover
Real ep3 plot twist will be wether the grass is brown or red
crisp lion
no point worryn bout spoilers sonny
gleaming berry
Escher DW map is in development hurry up @sharp zinc
crisp lion
u can just see the world map when u start the game and level select ep3 lol
opal plover
*hurry hup
crisp lion
ofc when it's done tho
gleaming berry
I think thats our last map for a bit?
do we need more?
might do an ep 3 one
blasphemy DW map? idk
ooh maybe the city
fast wigeon
more maps are always neat
mild ginkgo
the city might be cool
fast wigeon
also ur gonna have to make some for ctf inevitably
mild ginkgo
we can keep putting those out after 1.0
crisp lion
just make like 3 ep3 DW maps
mild ginkgo
multiplayer updates etc
gleaming berry
yeah we'll hopefully ship TDM before launch
CTF is defo a thing too
anything besides that y'all can fucking mod in
vale oar
CAPTURE THE SOAP
opal plover
We need sacrifice the souls kill confimed edition for DW
gleaming berry
instagib for sure someone gotta do that
crisp lion
so we gettin capture the soap or wut?
opal plover

gleaming berry

crisp lion
yo uhhhh
fast wigeon
is there any chance of getting mutators down the road
crisp lion
dusk version of BF3 Conquest when?
fast wigeon
or are we gonna have to mod that in
mild ginkgo
guys its the ep3 map
crisp lion
MOD IT IN™
mild ginkgo
fast wigeon
aight
crisp lion
hahaha nice placeholder
gleaming berry
unless duskworld gets crazy popular or something
mild ginkgo
we'll see
gleaming berry
or we end up making it a F2P thing in 2019 or some shit who knows
mild ginkgo
basically right now im working on making the game stable and bug free
gleaming berry
we'd rather work on SDK, Workshop and co-op and ports
mild ginkgo
and we can add content over time or whatever
gleaming berry
than the MP mode that 20 people play once a week lol
fast wigeon
yea those are the priority
but once u get all that stuff the mp will be the only thing left
gleaming berry
also @mild ginkgo talents are better spent elsewhere lol
crisp lion
maybe Ep4 if David wants to go down that rabbithole and dusk become madly big
mild ginkgo
maps are pretty easy to add
gleaming berry
poor Duskworld bug fixing
mild ginkgo
look mp is a mistake
vale oar
Dusk is a mistake
mild ginkgo
its fine, we're gonna put out the dedicated server tool at some point, and the game will be stable instead of bugging out all the goddamn time, and then the only thing to complain about will be lack of players
which we cant do anything about
fast wigeon
you could spend all ur money shilling duskworld and then get like 50 playets instead of 20
mild ginkgo
yeah
opal plover
Making bots would be easier
mild ginkgo
yeah tbh those might actually happen
we'll see
a lot of small things recently have made them more viable
mild ginkgo
lmao
crisp lion
bruh
opal plover
Just annihilating the final boss with 100 riveter wielding soldiers
fast wigeon
Legendary Dark Knight mode for dusk with 200 bots when
tired whale
fuck yeah
opal plover
I hope Dusk has an end credits song in the OST, preferably with vocals like RoTT 13
opal plover
How awesome would that be though
fast wigeon
the credits would be like 20 seconds long
opal plover
Credits could just be the camera going through all the levels with all the enemies decimated
fast wigeon
it would be neat but there literally isnt enough people to credit to have a credits sequence
david and dave, 3 duskworld dudes, zombie, and qa testers
thats it
crisp lion
cheevo dudes
opal plover
Yeah I meant just being mostly cool camera shots of the levels
crisp lion
special thanks shit (leon, mark diaz, etc)
fast wigeon
people in discord would just be qa
opal plover
And David's friend he hasn't seen for 10 years
fast wigeon
they arent going to credit us
directly
probably like a "thanks to the dicord dudes" at best
opal plover
I mean it doesn't have to be short just because it doesn't have many people to credit
mild ginkgo
i mean theres a significant number of people who contibuted, or maybe david would like to thank
friends of his who gave him support, or help
all of that good stuff
opal plover
Yeah
mild ginkgo
who knows though, you could be right
credits might just be a .txt
they were originally
i dont think theyre in the files anymore
fast wigeon
im expectin them to be a thing on the menu
opal plover
"they were originally" That means they aren't anymore?
fast wigeon
cos old school shooters didnt really have credits at the end
mild ginkgo
yeah as far as i know i dont think that .txt is distributed with the game anymore
opal plover
I get it, think the thoughts that make me the happiest
mild ginkgo
it used to be
crisp lion
just do DOOM
mild ginkgo
i like the doom ones yeah
opal plover
Honestly I just want to hear an end credits song
mild ginkgo
crisp lion
thats not what I meant
fast wigeon
i also hope the ending isnt just a text screen
crisp lion
anyway that's the ascii end screen when you exit the game lol
fast wigeon
not expecting a cutscene but maybe a playable ending sequence after final boss
would be neat
opal plover
Maybe an end text screen with multiple images
fast wigeon
well if the ending is super good and memorable it could elevate the game a lot furtgmher
mild ginkgo
thats a really silly statement
mild ginkgo
there are people who will approach dusk for the first time, not having known anything about it, its development, or anything like that
so every finishing touch matters
opal plover
^^^
mild ginkgo
sure, not as much to you guys because youve been immersed in it
jaunty meteor
Oh no, I agree
If anything I think lots of people here should stop being so forward w/ what they think should happen with Dusk's development
After a point it becomes less about giving suggestions and more about putting your fingers in someone else's pie IMO
mild ginkgo
hey i mean we wouldnt be anywhere without you guys
so we like to consider the way you feel etc
opal plover
Yeah Flotilla is right
fast wigeon
no ones asking for super radical changes atleast rn tho
tame sandal
besides eventually we're prolly gonna have modding support anyway, so we can kind of add in certain things, tho getting tht all ready is gonna take time
fast wigeon
and a lot of the time people are thinking about what could be or have been better to them, not saying "make the game like this right now"
mild ginkgo
yeah, theres a million ways we can improve on dusk, but time is obviously a factor
itd be silly to pretend it wasnt
we cant keep the game unreleased forever
tame sandal
no need to worry i will PERSONALLY add waluigi death sounds in if need be
crisp lion
fog changes?
tame sandal
thats a fair point, the game has been in development for a little while, bc of the porting, extra changes and etc
opal plover
Oh so the fog doesn't change in E3M5?
tame sandal
ww-w-w-wait have we seen sneak previews of e3m5? was that from the recent showcase?
or was that e3m4?
mild ginkgo
yeah the recent showcase showed the opening of e3m5
tame sandal
okie dokie
vale oar
thankfully dave skipped e3m4
mild ginkgo
tbh im surprised like nobody leaked anything from quakecon
people got to play the game pretty extensively
opal plover
Speaking of E3M4
I'll definitely be playing it with the retro palette and 4x pixelation
For my first playthrough
That's what I should have done for E2M2 and E2M8
mild ginkgo
also @opal plover yes it does change
mild ginkgo
but i mean all over the game there are places it could be tweaked
opal plover
I mean like E2M4 is the only place where it would work
opal plover
Eh
opal plover
I mean would it really be anything more than just placing a trigger here and there?
Not saying I think it's worth doing
mild ginkgo
theres quite a significant amount of planning you have to do for that, given multiple entrances and exits, accounting for save/load issues surrounding hitting triggers, etc etc
opal plover
I mean if it works in E3M5 I don't see why the same code wouldn't work in other levels
mild ginkgo
man i always forget how good e3m5 is with music
opal plover
Yeah E3M5 music is godly
mild ginkgo
no but what im saying is that you have to plan triggers around all those situation
opal plover
Makes sense
mild ginkgo
also its not really the music itself that is godly
its the progression of the level along side it
opal plover
I can imagine that
I mean that choir and combat theme when the touchstones runes are activated is already some of my favorite dusk music

crimson folio
Ok... The Infernal Machine... @thorn trout it's like ROTT and Quake had a baby a few times... The visuals of the "machines" were awesome... just a fun weird dark map.
And the music in the Forges, wow. Favorite so far.
crimson folio
No I'm talking about e4sm4 hahaha... Yeah foundry
vast tangle
The Infernal Machine is a trippy level alright
Not as much as the Escher Labs, but it's up there
crimson folio
I wish something large and horrific came crawling up that final tunnel though
Ive been crawling through the game amidst real life and making Blood maps... It's just brilliant. I cant wait for Escher Labs I read here it's a hoot and a half all the time
neon dove
The infernal machine came the thresher remind me of Stephen King's short story The Mangler
As well as a couple other things
crimson folio
Thresher was good too... All good. Not disappointed in a map yet
tame sandal
dusk is basically almost done right? a few polishes and details to go but the majority of the core of e3 is done right?
thorn trout
yes
tame sandal
so its probably gonna be released this or next month if we're good bois 😄 ?
.> guess there's no promises then
thorn trout
no promises. But we're working as hard as possible
tame sandal
yees, even if you finish early, which would be difficult, pull a spoopy on us and release on halloween owo
tame sandal
yeah im saying IF they're done before halloween, to release it on or after halloween
final estuary
i mean sure halloween release would be cool but we don't know when it's releasing
tame sandal
thats true, it could be weeks later
tame sandal
they COULD be adding a wendigo dance party at the end without us knowing
opaque spindle
How did you find out
tame sandal
i hacked the mainframe ecksdee
final estuary
i picture scary voice dude just yelling "DANCE, INTRUDER, DANCE!" as a ton of wendigos run out onto a dance floor
tame sandal
i swear to god tho, if the end is just memes thats gonna pen-tuple their sales instantly, just some wizards twerking in a barn whispering slightly unsettling things
final estuary
ew
slate edge
I want open world survival horror lootboxes
tame sandal
@upper solstice pfffft dont be silly, memes > story and you know it :^)
i want more of the chips i just ate 😦
final estuary
if dusk ends on a non serious note then that's just a big "what the fuck?" from most players
tame sandal
nah they were "atomic tomato" kinda like tomato sauce flavour, and a "what the fuck" moment could be objectively hilarious
maybe if only for some players
but the ending is probably gonna what you expect, a rounding off of the story/lore and character, if ihad to guess, even tho thats a vague guess
knowing this company i wouldnt be surprised if the final boss its dave oshreys dog or smth, actuallyno that would mean hurting it 😦
should i delet this tho? 
good cus im lazy 
polar fern
Fast
final estuary
final boss is a sentient bar of soap
tame sandal
and if so, war scythes or those FAKE ones with the blade at a 90 degree angle?
final estuary
what do you mean those fake ones
i'm pretty sure those fake scythes are used for farming
tame sandal
the ones that were popularised by video games and the types not actually useful for battle or farming
final estuary
who makes a scythe with the blade at 90 degrees anyways
tame sandal
farming scythes usually have a straight blade (well not at 90 degrees) and a wavy handle
tame sandal
so, we farming the boss to death?
tame sandal
"imma harvest this land so effectively you have no idea big john 2.0!"
im actually rlly interested to see the lore now
final estuary
supposedly big artifact below the surface of the city of Dusk was discovered and turned the entire town crazy, and duskdude is there just so he can get treasure
while a mysterious voice also drives him forward
tame sandal
so he kills he bosses, gets loot and town becomes desolate/normal or smth?
final estuary
we don't know
tame sandal
maybe the treasure is a danny devito body pillow
final estuary
he entered the portal to the nameless city at the end of ep2
i'm literally just reciting the original lore that dave said the other day
but whatever
tame sandal
slightly off topic nowbut i searched for danny devito body pillow and i am not dissapointed
but thats not relevant xd
final estuary
you didn't finish sp?
shit, my bad then
oh right
yeah uh, be prepared for more of those
a lot
more of those
no
more "mamas"
what you encounter in the escher labs is a cowgirl, which comes back in a lot of later levels of ep2
as a regular enemy
think of it as dusk's version of a shambler or baron of hell
final estuary
a lot more fucked up
tame sandal
yes but harrowing is such a good word to use
final estuary
the metal grinding and moans from the containment chamber actually got me creeped out
like that's the first time in a while a game has actually made me uneasy
escher labs in general is very harrowing, as you put it
tame sandal
i hope e3 isnt absolutely full of wendigos tho, i like to be able to see my enemies straight away
makes it easier to kill them real good
final estuary
i hope it is full of wendigos just to add to the horror elements of the game
probably will happen with mods
fast wigeon
i want a mod that replaces the orcehstral sting with the nostalgia critic intro song
final estuary
we need another level like e2m2 that's just quiet in the beginning
fast wigeon
think thats e3m4
final estuary
i kind of wonder if they will add more enemies to the third episode
cause all i know is the priestess
which i still can't find on a stream or anything
fast wigeon
theres like 6 new enemies
final estuary
oh
fast wigeon
im gonna keep u in the dark on it tho since release is super close
tame sandal
i want a mod that replaces the riveter firing sound with seth rogan
final estuary
i'm used to being kept in the dark about shit from the secret lab discord so ye
tame sandal
would you mind telling us if the 6 new enemies includes the flying ones previously showcased but unfinished?
fast wigeon
there are ep3 gameplay vids if you are super curious
tame sandal
or is that a secret?
final estuary
alright
fast wigeon
im not a dev
tame sandal
okie dokie
final estuary
he is just a fork maiden
fast wigeon
im just saying theres 6 new enemies based on what ive seen from the ep3 gameplay vids
there might be more for all we know
we know literally nothing about m6-m10 and mS
and most of m5
tame sandal
yeah i like some of the new enemies, rlly creative, but that water level (its kind of a water level) is dope af
fast wigeon
theres a water section
tame sandal
it has water in it
final estuary
is it just completely underwater
tame sandal
not like an ocean level, just a bit with water
they've showcased the level before on stream
final estuary
time to get eaten by intoxigators then
tame sandal
which one is it e3m4 or m3?
fast wigeon
m3
tame sandal
yeah that
final estuary
will multiplayer keep getting updates after singleplayer is done tho
vague egret
yes
final estuary
despite the recent changes we could use more variety in pms
tame sandal
i presume it will change atleast for a bit after release
wait you can pm in duskworld?
final estuary
no
tame sandal
oh okie
final estuary
i meant playermodels
final estuary
we have the soldier, cultist, wendigo, scarecrow, and welder
but what about the scientist, leatherneck, and fork maiden?
fast wigeon
mama would make for a pretty easy model conversion
final estuary
yeah and the cowgirl
fast wigeon
same thing
tame sandal
when the game gets fully released i presume we'll get the duskdude model or they'll make one idk
final estuary
that would be cool if he actually gets a rendered model
tame sandal
after all they said they'd give us the sdk when its all done
final estuary
i hope it's like the other people's interpretations
tame sandal
if i recall correctly
final estuary
the broad brimmed hat and coat
fast wigeon
wouldnt count on duskdude getting a model, but i hope he does get one
tame sandal
i hope hes a kawaii man with anime eyes
"oni-chan the cultists are closing in nyaaa, shoot them with your shotgun uwu"
ok i feel sick now
fast wigeon
Lain reacted with :downvote:
delicate sail
One of the admins/devs recently said that it's likely that pretty much every riggable enemy in dusk will get a model
tame sandal
YES
final estuary
i saw a piece of fanart someone made
fast wigeon
bone monk model would be cool
tame sandal
thats great, i can make crappy sfm ports, then make even crappier animations with them
final estuary
portrays duskdude as a soldier
delicate sail
I forget if it was Lain/Avain or someone else like Zombie
delicate sail
Just a floating pill
final estuary
floating bar of soap
tame sandal
the ultimate soap, final boss, the soapinator, dusk dudes father dun dun dddduuuuuuuun
im not sure if i have the best or worst idea and which one is more amusing to me
tame sandal
srsly tho im super exicted for e3 reeeeeeeee
fast wigeon
i saw someone with the idea that duskdude is actuall an eldritch god
whos disappointed in the lack of faith in his cult so he sets them straight
tame sandal
woah man
low swift
he is actually the outsider from hp lovecrafts short story. truth
final estuary
i like the idea that he's a treasure hunter who got captured by the cult
tame sandal
as soon as mapping becomes available and i find out how to kind of port it from trenchbroom im making a gallery of danny devito
final estuary
well then what's the point of morale?
fast wigeon
well i guess even if your not a treasure hunter finding a diamond is going to increase your morale
final estuary
if he's not a treasure hunter why is your armor coins and diamonds and gems?
delicate sail
So theres something about the upside down and inside out thing that will pebably be central to the story, as Dave kept spamming that phrase quite a bit over the course of development
fast wigeon
you dont need to be a treasure hunter to be happy that youve find a diamond that will make you rich
final estuary
i guess
tame sandal
yeah he kept saying "we're gonna turn you upside down, inside out..."
delicate sail
Should be made relevant though, as it's a more unconventional choice
tame sandal
hes said that 2-3 times from my memory and i havent even watched everything i dont think
delicate sail
The diamonds I mean
tame sandal
maybe we getcaptured and our fov goes bonkers and we go inside ourselves idk
fast wigeon
yeah dave has said there will be fov stuff
tame sandal
nice
low swift
its a metaphor for conquering your inner demons
tame sandal
^
fast wigeon
but he also said there will be a bfg weapon so take it with a grain of salt
final estuary
so is this all just a dream?
tame sandal
its a love story between you and big john (if thats the bosses name)
fast wigeon
no its not
final estuary
is duskdude hallucinating the entire time
fast wigeon
its large john

out of what?
low swift
danny devito thats good. i like that . your a keeper
final estuary
a brain meme but just with variations on big john's name
tame sandal
xD thats excellent
fast wigeon
holy fuck we need a tiny tim boss
final estuary
this is getting out of hand
fast wigeon
thats just the logical progression from big john
final estuary
now there are two of them
tame sandal
you: "big john", an intellectual: "large larry", me a rick and morty fan: "danny devito" brain galaxy
delicate sail
Maybe, as there have been body parts all around, the boss will be the spider mastermind unity edition, cuz... brain
final estuary
you, a simpleton: big john
tame sandal
@fast wigeon tiny tim the size of rats
final estuary
me, an intellectual: large jimmy
low swift
large rats ?
tame sandal
no a boss, humanoid but the rough size of a rat
final estuary
there should be a rat humanoid as a dusk enemy
low swift
warhammer rats
tame sandal
barry benson or smth, spamming "ya like jazz" over and over
low swift
how do you model a rat with 10 polygons
low swift
what makes a rat a rat. is it a mouse in a house?
final estuary
no a rat is an entirely different species from a mouse
tame sandal
but srsly a danny devito meme about this needs to be made by someone more talented than me
low swift
tahts some quantum shit
tame sandal
a rat is a mouse that nobody loves
im a rat
except that im a fish
so just nobody loves me
final estuary
a rat is bigger and lives in more dirty areas
they actually form colonies and shit
unlike mice
low swift
if i were a lion i would swim out there and eat you
tame sandal
lions cant rlly do that
low swift
then i would bang your tuna girlfriend
final estuary
how does the rank progression go from rat to soldier
tame sandal
not to the extent they could reliably hunt tuna
i dont have a gf jokes on you ha!
(loneliness is cold)
final estuary
you become a tiny thing not able to deal much damage to a human with an assault rifle

About controller support: Is the overhauled mapping likely going to come.with 1.0 or are there any other updates planned that might include it? I presume you may have tinkered with controller usability given tha there's gonna be a switch port.
tired whale
you can't remap ur controller?
slate edge
I mean Xbox controls for Dusk are pretty solid
delicate sail
Until you get to ep2
tired whale
opportunity to remap's always good though
slate edge
I mean, I get you completely, but for an optional feature, I cant complain.
tired whale
speaking of which, how come it's such a rare feature in general
slate edge
Remap would be 👌🏻
tired whale
it's usually just presets
delicate sail
Would be neat if full controller would be added, so that menus can also be navigated with it. It's more of an open question than anything, just noticed it today when trying to play from the couch
tired whale
a simple rebind of jump from a face button to say a bumper does wonders to how you play the game
delicate sail
And yeah, remapping would be awesome while considering a more... practical default layout if possible. Using the climbing powerup now with a controller seems borderline unplayable atm
tired whale
what are the bindings rn? I still haven't even tried it with a gamepad lol
delicate sail
Of course, I get that it's a more optional feature, given that the game is focusing on kb+m, which as you all know is just really polished and satisfying
The current xinput default layout puts the vlimb powerup on L3 iirc
tame sandal
speaking of kb & m being satisfying, is controller any good with bhopping? cus it feels super good on kb
prisma ivy
It's not easy
fast wigeon
ew imagine doing actual quake bhopping with a controller
delicate sail
So you just gotta press down one of the thumbsticks constantly while having to move both at the same time
prisma ivy
but it could probably be done
tired whale
i actually remember a 360 port of Q3 having a dedicated "look at your feet" button lol
tame sandal
imagine quake bhopping with toasters (which can probably be done since a dude played doom with toasters)
you would need to be insanely fast just to press the little thing down on each of the toasters at the right time
tired whale
did you know that QC was actually coded with the toaster input method 😃
shut mesa
did you know that QC was mostly made with doors
tired whale
Why i could easily believe that!
sly path
QC is what happens when Id Software's B team and Saber interactive make a game together
vague egret
oh boy
not this thread again
sly path
Oops I just realised ahead channel this was in.
vague egret
i was more concerned about the dead horse's grave you were pissing on. the channel thing is good too
sly path
I have a bad habit of running things into the ground.
But yeah um I'll try to stop doing that Lain.
tame sandal
can i just ask if theres a danni devito cameo in the game will that have to be modded in?
not like it could be added now if its not alr in there
slate edge
Tresh men boss?
tame sandal
someones gonna add danny devito as duskdude within 2 months of mod support
its gonna happen, its inevitable

@fast wigeon Dave didn't say anything about fov just forced perspective
No tm anymore
tame sandal
forced perspective you say? hmmmm could be interesting, maybe some third person (actually prolly not) or some other weird shots hmmm

Hmm.

sometimes due to high fov the i could look outside the map in corners

Why is Big John in the ROTT remake and Dusk
Is there a market for midbosses that are goofy Arnold impersonators

Why is Big John in the ROTT remake and Dusk
you dare ask questions like this?????
sly path
Because he's necessary and needs to be in every videogame.
neon dove
Wait, what's ROTT? I need to check that out
rare musk
flat juniper
Sounds like the ultimate first person shooter experience.
We should all be playing this instead of Dusk
delicate sail
Sooo uh, this is apparently a thing. I feel like Dave's baiting us tho... https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/1048016641328467968?s=19
atomic egret
he aint
delicate sail
With all the mechanics, textures etc?
atomic egret
I'm not going to say anything other than what I just said
delicate sail
Eh, fair enough. I wasn't even expecting anyone of you guys to comment on it in the first place 
crisp lion
huh, how about that. Halloween maybe the release date after all (keyword: maybe)
atomic egret
soon.
crisp lion
Soon SoonTM now
delicate violet
When it's ready
fast wigeon
i hope the polish and cheevos dont take too long
crisp lion
Give it a month...maybe
fast wigeon
theres 3 weeks till halloween, so it might be possible for halloween release date
but novembers probably more realistic
opal plover
Yeah very hopefully Haloween

@delicate sail As far as I know final boss is textured, attacks, sfx and animations are WIP and the arena is pretty much an untextured box.
is it true !?
vale oar
They always said this would happen before 2019
mild ginkgo
thats right dusk will be your goty 2018
crimson folio
So the very first version of the final boss has been released is that correct?
I’m mean created
mild ginkgo
the first playable test of the boss has been played by dave alone
fast wigeon
its so spoilery even david hasnt played it
crisp lion
is the final b0s despacito?

Hi

why cant we play the endless mode in multiplayer?
tame sandal
cus thats just playing it for longer
you CAN just freestyle fuck-around in duskworld
jade root
we havent added endless in mp because we dont have the tools to enable coop yet
thatll come post launch
flat inlet
coolio, would be fun to fuck around in endless with a friend 😃
jade root
yep we agree
tame sandal
hey jabones, will quake maps be scaled for porting in to dusk?
or will we have to manually scale each section in a quake map to make it the right size?
jade root
I don't actually know. I thiiiiink the former but don't quote me on that
tame sandal
ok so theres a decent change quake maps will be scaled? or that they'll be an option for that?
well thats better than no chance at all
cheers
coarse flint
question, does anyone know where i could get the OST for this game, or if it's available to buy somewhere?
jade root
@coarse flint OST isn't done yet, but it'll be available in most of the usual places once it's done
coarse flint
oh right.
tame sandal
but
andrew hulshult has put some of the music for dusk and amid evil on his youtube channel
idk if any e3 music is there tho
fast wigeon
the ost has only got a few tracks left to make right?
opal plover
@final estuary Which trailer
final estuary
Its the one that shows duskworld, ep1, and ep2 right after each other
Sometimes plays in multiplayer
opal plover
That's the experiments theme
final estuary
Yes

mild ginkgo
oh boy dave is leaking shit again
crisp lion
he owns the game technically he can do what he wants
opal plover
I mean
mild ginkgo
ehhh i dont think he does? pretty sure david owns dusk
opal plover
Are you sober right now Dave?
urban sparrow
Yes
opal plover
Andrew! What's up
urban sparrow
Hello
crisp lion
y'all gonna leak any Ep3 musics?
opal plover
Blasphemy music gud
urban sparrow
May-b soon
crisp lion
inb4 baited and it's just the game drop
Is tension32 supposed to be blasphemy music or further down Ep3?
crisp lion
It's an ambient track for Ep3, but only diggerbois would know that (if they even found them lol)
opal plover
E3MS2 is a capstone game styled level
Okay like those Ep3 military installations seriously feel like a nightmare you'd have after playing through Ep2
crisp lion
I'm gonna be honest but the Ep3 Soundtrack feels different from Ep1 & Ep2.
opal plover
I mean so does Ep 2 from Ep1
crisp lion
not really it's about the same
opal plover
I mean Ep1 has more of a more victorious feel
And Ep2 is more creepy and ambient
And I guess ep3 is a full realisation of the nightmare that it is
crisp lion
uma gad bruh sooo deeep
crisp lion
I wouldn't exactly call E1M1_amb or E1M3_amb exactly "victorious"
opal plover
Who dat?
opal plover
That's a scarecrow
crisp lion
yeah I figured that out like 3 seconds after my comment m8
opal plover
Anyway what is he doing here?
opal plover
Yeah I guess that could be it
You're saying E3M8 because 500 said it was an ambitious level?
crisp lion
brain mixup
there's a song in the files that I asked scott about, and he implied it had something to do with that sunset screen, and considering scarecrows are ep1 exclusive it'd made sense
opal plover
I guess
Also in the context of what was at some point E3M8 I joked about it being a traumatic flashback sequence and he said it's not as far off as it should be
Maybe returning to dusk is also part of the duskdude's backstory
crisp lion
E3M8 is probably a nightmare sequence
a-la Max Payne
idk, maybe Duskdude gets knocked out at the end of E3M7 and wakes up in E3M9
having a nightmare for M8 as a level
opal plover
But after asking him about E3M8 he said the order was changed for lore reasons
Anyway that nightmare thing sounds super cool
Also how pissed would you be if you had no flashlight in the nightmare
crisp lion
anyway that bottomless pit dave showed
is probably another "ur flashlight broke, xddddd" event
opal plover
Maybe it's when you wake up also
opaque spindle
doubt they would pull that again
opal plover
I mean E3M4 already does it
opaque spindle
does it?
crisp lion
Wait, for real?
opaque spindle
I haven't watched any of the footage so idk
opal plover
Anyway maybe jumping into the pit could be you escaping the nightmare
Yeah you drop out of E3M3 into E3M4
opal plover
Also what if Duskdude says something like "My head feels like cheese" when he wakes up from the potential nightmare
crisp lion
implying if there actually is a nightmare level
opal plover
Anyway looks like the military was pumping something in the nameless city
With all the pipes
crisp lion
Big giant pipes? David you ripping off Mother Horse Eyes again?
opaque spindle
That is very clearly the crystal of quasimodo
gleaming berry

opaque spindle
Are we sure these aren't just Thief screenshots that Dave is posing as Dusk screenshots 🤔
opal plover
Looks like it's part of E3M5

Thief 1 doesn't use colored lighting :)

Thats a good point
