if you want to avoid spoilers at this point you're honestly best off staying away from twitter

#

or mute NB accounts till launch

opal plover
#

Board your windows

#

Lock your doors

#

Build an altar

#

Don't know where I was going with this tbh

acoustic oriole
#

one of those reviews that you read and wonder if he's even played the same game as you did

atomic egret
#

hmm

#

some people just like to complain

opal plover
#

Guys a game is just files that can be infintely copied

#

Why isn't it freeeeeeee XDDDDDDDDDDDD

atomic egret
#

u dont have to pay for it to be printed and distributed why isnt it free

acoustic oriole
#

all of that from 1 hour of gameplay, chur

#

you could breeze through the levels in DUSK very quickly but that would be the wrong way to play it for the first time

#

I AM BEZ QUAKE HARDCOWZ PLEYR HUP HUP HUP

opal plover
#

"There are things that happen, but nothing stands out."

#

Clearly has played E2M5

atomic egret
#

played an hour

#

probably got half way through e1

opal plover
#

^

acoustic oriole
#

he does mention being 4 levels into Ep2 and 5 into Ep 1

#

but that's bullshit, most likely

atomic egret
#

why would you even play like that

acoustic oriole
#

because you're a Quakelitist

#

he probably played Ep 1 and found it easy... when it's suppose to be easy

#

then mentioned he also played Ep 2 to give his opinion some more weight to it

#

Ep 2 is definitely not easy, especially not on a first playthrough

atomic egret
#

inb4 played on accessible

mild ginkgo
#

It's fine, people who have been playing quake forever are understandably upset it isn't quake

#

And there's definitely a level of animosity there where they feel like their thing is being taken away from them.

#

But the reality is we want to celebrate the things that make quake so fun, not try to invalidate it or diminish it in any way

#

The argument usually seems to be "you could be playing quake instead" which, while completely valid, is missing the point a bit I feel

#

It's NOT quake, so comparing it to quake will only be disappointing

#

And just in general with media, you could always be consuming X instead of Y

#

Why ever play a new game,or watch a new movie, when your favorite already exists

atomic egret
#

I hate that attitude

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah, and as much as we disagree with it, they're still entitled to that. They like quake better, and it can be had for almost nothing. So in their eyes, this is basically robbery.

acoustic oriole
#

the Quake influences are obvious but going so far as to say "you could be playing Quake instead" is just glossing over all the other things going for DUSK

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah totally

acoustic oriole
#

too bad that some people look at it as "it's either, or"

#

it's okay to enjoy two games

atomic egret
mild ginkgo
#

Luckily, it seems that's only the case with a small minority so far, hopefully not jinxing that πŸ˜…

acoustic oriole
#

knock on wood BigThink

mild ginkgo
#

And luckily for them the market has never been better for choice

#

Dusk, ae, ion maiden, project warlock, that other 3dr quake game, etc etc

#

They can take their pick, they're all good

crimson folio
#

Who is the final boss in EP3

jade root
#

Play ep3 yourself and find out

#

We aren't gonna spoil anything

opal plover
#

Also where be that E2M10 oob save

crimson folio
#

But you did it in the game files.

opal plover
#

?

jade root
#

If you post spoilers, I WILL kick you

#

Quit looking through the data files

#

And if we did spoil it in the game files, you should know yourself

#

So why you asking to begin with?

steady aurora
#

Spoiling stuff like that is worse than spoiling the ending of Infinity War

crimson folio
#

._.

steady aurora
#

Besides only devs should know, keep that shit secret

jade root
#

Some people are just rude

opal plover
#

I really don't think his question about the final boss had anything to do with him looking through the files

steady aurora
#

Well with all the talk and Twitter name changes like # days left before dusk, should be enough of a hint to it not being even out yet

mild ginkgo
#

you think we spoiled it in the game files

#

thats the funny part

#

just realize that we curated what you can and cannot see in them

crimson folio
#

I know that but players can speculate coming things from game files.

mild ginkgo
#

yeah, we left breadcrumbs

#

we have been for a long long time

crimson folio
#

._.

radiant venture
#

I guess you'd just have to wait 10 days lol

mild ginkgo
#

p much yeah

opal plover
#

Or 8

crimson folio
#

8?

opal plover
#

Early access dudes get it one weekend early

steady aurora
#

Early access is if you purchased before last last halloween

opal plover
#

Nah

mild ginkgo
#

anyone who currently owns it will be getting ep3

#

we are just keeping a few days buffer in case we need to fix anything before full launch

steady aurora
#

Wait but am I wrong on that?

mild ginkgo
#

no

#

er

steady aurora
#

Cause I remember ordering it way back when Ep 2 just was releasing

#

well even slightly before that

mild ginkgo
#

ep2 released around january technically

#

ep1 released some time in july 2017 i think?

opal plover
#

August

mild ginkgo
#

the game entered early access the day ep2 released

steady aurora
#

Ah those early and innocent days

opal plover
#

Well Ep2 released on christmas 2017

mild ginkgo
#

no it didnt

steady aurora
#

A day before

#

cause Dave is a sweetie

mild ginkgo
#

it was given to lurkers as a gift

#

our official release of it was jan 11th i think?

opal plover
#

Yeah

steady aurora
#

I remember getting it a day before Christmas, waking up and seeing that damn that was good

mild ginkgo
#

yeah it was horrible

steady aurora
#

Set things in motion on a crash course

mild ginkgo
#

we had to like manage the game all day instead of celebrate the holiday πŸ˜‚

steady aurora
#

You guys taking a break once you release Ep3?

mild ginkgo
#

oh most definitely

#

but you can expect more things from us soon as always

#

lets not forget AE has two episodes still in the works

#

and theres a bunch of dusk post launch plans

#

plus ports

#

youll all be well fed

steady aurora
#

Yeah foresure

opal plover
#

Most important post launch thing of course being the old school hud

mild ginkgo
#

πŸ™„

#

i think the SDK is what people are most excited about

#

and i think there are a fair number of people who want the switch port

opal plover
#

Seriously excited about the old school style hud though

mild ginkgo
#

sure but its just a novelty

opal plover
#

Yeah

mild ginkgo
#

i already play with the black bar enabled

#

which is close enough

#

its pretty much just missing a face

#

which, for obvious reasons, cant be there

#

yet

opal plover
#

As in it's that gravely looking texture instead of the black bar?

#

Oh I understood what you meant by face

mild ginkgo
#

lol

#

face reveal at 100k subs

opal plover
#

Featuring Sam Lake as DuskDude

#

Dec 10th dusk speedrunning is going to be nuts

#

The leader boards are being wiped for version 1.0

mild ginkgo
#

oof

#

the race for WR

thorn trout
#

remember kids: the more times you recommend Dusk to a friend the higher the max bunnyhop speed!

cerulean sun
#

I really don't see the leader boards changing very much I'll be going after those few levels I've held the record on

#

I didn't bother keeping up with e1m1 because the boards are getting wiped anyway

vale oar
#

@thorn trout recommened Dusk to like 10 of my friends. They all said "what the fuck is this pixelated crap lol"

#

Sorry.

thorn trout
#

that's ok they can play Fortnite

#

with its new moth suit for the kids

#

and their memes

vale oar
#

Things are getting much worse. They all play Fallout 76.

thorn trout

"yeet I love fallout yeah pipboy am I right fam?"

#

vale oar

kids don't talk at all nowadays. They all play Fallout 76 πŸ˜ƒ

timber basin

maybe rename it to Brutal Dusk Royale

thorn trout
#

man I really am old, I don't even remember Fallouts 5-75

vale oar
#

yeah, I can barely remember Fallout 35 now - but it defo was the worst one

thorn trout
#

I heard Fallout 69 was good

coarse flint
#

i posted a review of dusk, and mentioned it on a couple discords. couple people seemed interested in it. may have to get copies for 'em so they don't end up pirating the game.

acoustic oriole
#

Bought DUSK for 2 of my friends Leatherneck Fair since I got the game by keydrop

#

As in, the 2 only friends who might be into such a game

#

I've got boring friends

thorn trout
#

@coarse flint thanks we appreciate it! And tbh if given the choice between them not playing it and them pirating it, we'd prefer them pirating it :). I mean of course IDEALLY they'd buy it but hey... if they want to pirate it first and decide if we deserve money, we ain't gonna cry about it.

coarse flint
#

yeah.

jade root

Imagine liking dusk lmao

#

more cool stuff to look forward to

#

coop and most importantly, SDK

#

I'm really excited to see what people come up with and just snatch their garbage\masterpiece maps on Workshop and give it a whirl

deep furnace
#

i wanna see dusk on the upcoming releases steam tab

#

aswell as the top sales

gleaming berry
#

I don't think it will go in upcoming releases since it's already in Early Access

#

also those of you who suggested it will be happy to know we changed the red key situation in E2M3

next week at this time, we'll finally be able to experience the greatness πŸ˜„

#

or at least, some of us

steady aurora
#

6 more days of work

#

well nights technically

fast wigeon
#

does the ep3 release make any more changes to ep 1 and 2

#

im wondering if i should replay them now, or if its worth waiting until ep3 releases to do so

gaunt sierra
#

I think the changes to those episodes were already made, when the release date of ep3 was announced

#

but I am not a dev, so there might be more changes planned with the ep3 release

opal plover
#

Maybe some like extremely minor changes for 1.0

#

But I doubt anything worth doing another playthrough for

fast wigeon
#

if its stuff like additional VOs then ill wait

gaunt sierra
#

but I think the best thing you can do

#

is to wait those 7/9 days

#

and then play it all at once as a complete game

#

to get the full intented experience

fast wigeon
#

but it will take me a couple of days to go through ep1 and 2

#

itll still be playing it all at once, just with a like 3/4 day break between ep2 and 3

gaunt sierra
#

well then it's up to you πŸ˜„

#

we don't even know when it's gonna be released for us that bought the game in early access

#

a weekend before the others, but we don't know whether it'll be saturday evening, sunday morning, etc..

your progress will not likely reset, but you still have to replay the levels even if you have them 100%

tbh i'd recommend nuking your safe file and starting fresh

you'll probably have a better time with the game

gaunt sierra

which you'll do how?

I'm not much into finding those things and operating with them by myself

graceful wing

just delete the save file from the saves folder

gaunt sierra

'kay

will stick to your advice then

should be in the game's root directory /saves/

Ok beat Escher labs tonight... Missed 2 secrets .. found the cage room and the one you gotta crouch for by jumpy pad...

The weirdness of level is great. Y'all made it out to be the greatest map ever... It's good but my favorite Dusk map is Infernal Machine to this point. Debate me 😝

The twists were cool. Not enough games do weird crap like this.

opal plover

Yeah infernal machine is cool

#

That meatgrinder especially

pls fix

And that earth level seems like it has a three paths for each key design, which I like

fast wigeon
#

even weekends?

graceful wing
#

Weekend work isn't uncommon at all

#

I'm at work rn

fast wigeon
#

ik but a lot of jobs give you days off

graceful wing
#

Days... What now?

#

I don't follow

fast wigeon
#

1 or 2 days

graceful wing
#

Rare. All I get is a guarantee of 10 hours between the end of a shift and start of another one

steady aurora
#

I only have tonight off then I work Monday to Saturday

#

Busy busy busy, but Dusk shall come

#

soon

graceful wing
#

Eh I welcome weekend work

#

Especially Sunday

fast wigeon
#

would you not rather have a day off

graceful wing
#

Hell nah, Sunday is mandatory double pay

fast wigeon
#

ah

graceful wing
#

2 days money for half the effort

fast wigeon
#

i have the exact opposite issue with college where i have way too much freetime and absolutely nothing i can do with it, besides study

#

i can do shit when im at home, but i have upwards of 3 hours each day at college thats free

#

its part of the reason why im so active here, because im so bored

graceful wing
#

I used to just go back home during leap classes

fast wigeon
#

not an option for me

steady aurora
#

I work nights and I'm single now so nights are lonely and I try to get buds to go out drinking on my few nights off

fast wigeon
#

home is literally miles from my college

graceful wing
#

I work chaotic shifts

fast wigeon
#

i have to catch a bus at 9 and 4 every day

graceful wing
#

Sometimes day, sometimes night

steady aurora
#

Damn I don't know if I could do swapped shifts both days and nights

graceful wing
#

I usually get only one type in a period

steady aurora
#

Okay cause I was going to say that is like dangerous

graceful wing
#

My days off happen whenever I swap between day and night

steady aurora
#

damn well work makes time go by, so Dusk release should be imminent af

graceful wing
#

I'm probably not even going to play the finished game for a while after launch

#

Smash is going to take up my December free time

#

I've finished the game a few times already though ofc

steady aurora
#

Yeah I expected that you would've

#

The enemy of the enemy

#

heehee

graceful wing
#

Without going into details Ep3 is fantastic

#

And that's not just new blood biased talk

#

Legit miles ahead of ep 1 & 2

fast wigeon
#

yeah it seems so

#

jab was saying that too, apparantly all of the levels are really unique

graceful wing
#

We've kept the second half of Ep3 a secret for a reason

fast wigeon
#

i cant wait for next week to get these mocks over

#

well except for the sideways gravity part

#

im kinda hoping for a level thats like constantines mansion from TDP

#

escher labs was cool but it would be even cooler in a fantasy/gothic setting

graceful wing
#

πŸ˜‰

#

While I can't talk about what Ep3 is about I can almost guarantee it'll surprise you

fast wigeon
#

i can imagine

#

id be surprised if i wasnt surprised by it

vast tangle
#

After all the wait, it should be good

steady aurora
#

Man I hope it is truly out of this world

#

Don't get me wrong it's pretty cool the first half of Ep 3 but I hope to be like mind blown

#

I'm sure it's going to be good either way though

fast wigeon
#

im just hoping for good and challenging encounters more than anything else

jade root
#

There's only one really bad level

#

And it's the last one

#

Cause that means it's all over :(

fast wigeon
#

aww

#

until possible expansions i guess

graceful wing
#

Atleast David made the final boss be from an anime

#

Finally out of denial mode

steady aurora
#

Oh shit

#

Excited

@jade root well over until we start modding it... At my rate of production, if I start when sdk did get released.... Work hard for 3 years then take a 15 years break... I'll be 55 and it'll be 2036

acoustic oriole
#

Heresy, Jab. It's not all over. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING Rune Leatherneck

jade root
#

Thanks for sharing your age

#

Rly appreciate is fam squad

crimson folio
#

@jade root I think it's relevant to discussion... By then Dusk 76 Super Squad Edition should be out too

jade root
#

Thanks for the double ping fampai

#

Totally not trying to read Goblin Slayer and enjoy myself

crimson folio
#

SORRY no more

#

Dusk dusk dusk dusk

#

The room where you fight Mama... All those barrels, just thought about this.. if you line them up by her door does it let you do massive damage

mild ginkgo
#

yes

jade root
#

no

prisma ivy
#

maybe

cerulean sun

Don't drop the soap

molten peak
#

Dusk is the only instance of dropping the soap benefiting the person who dropped it.

i still want to dip toilet paper in toilet and stick to things

void flower
#

Hey folks! Just bought and marathoned DUSK all this morning. Awesome game. Is there word on when the .fgd and .wad come out?

crimson folio
#

How is that marketing campaign for Dusk coming along?

fast wigeon
#

theres no word on the wad yet, no

#

it will be post launch

crimson folio
#

Wait you guys are going to release a bit crushed version of Dusk in a wad file?

fair mirage
#

no
since we plan to use trenchbroom as the officially supported map maker, its asset packs come in .wad files

#

iirc the wad contains textures

#

and now someone who knows what they're talking about will explain more

#

:p

mild ginkgo
#

@void flower it will be a little bit of time before they are available, although perhaps we will make the wad available sooner rather than later

void flower
#

Nah that's basically it lol

#

Awesome! Thank you

mild ginkgo
#

i have a VERY early test fgd set up

#

but its nowhere near ready

void flower
#

Yeah I imagine that's probably a bit of a pain to get working

mild ginkgo
#

nah its not too bad at all

#

but we are just trying to get 1.0 out the door

#

(next week)

#

heres a preview for you

void flower
#

Hell yeah!

#

I need to give Trenchbroom another shot

mild ginkgo
#

*that version will never actually release

void flower
#

I'm so used to JACK

mild ginkgo
#

jack will be largely compatible

#

we have had dusk maps made in JACK

#

in fact, one of our most comprehensive test maps was made in jack

#

anyways the FGD will need to be made to conform with the modding SDK, which is not complete yet

void flower
#

Ahhh, gotcha

mild ginkgo
#

but i think we could make the WAD available soon

void flower
#

Rad

fast wigeon
#

wait so what is an fgd

#

is that the entities or is it the textures n stuff

crimson folio
#

How do I access the test level with debug console in 1.0?

void flower
#

yeah the fgd is the entities

#

enemies, weapons, items, physics objects, etc etc etc

fast wigeon
#

aw

#

so we're gonna need to wait until the sdk to actually make levels then

crimson folio
#

Will we not be able to create assets in SDK right?

fast wigeon
#

i think youll be able to make anything with the sdk

void flower
#

Well with the .wad you could at least do like layouts and textures and crap

#

but yeah

crimson folio
void flower
#

And I guess you could totally just make a map in Quake or something in the meantime, lol

mild ginkgo
#

the FGD might be available a tad before the full SDK is complete, we'll see

void flower
#

Yeah, that moment floored me

#

so damn cool

slate edge
#

Distant ROTT 2013 noises

crimson folio
#

Honestly the visuals in Dusk actually impress me

jade root
#

e1 is kinda stock shit for the first few levels

#

e2 is more wowzers

#

e3 is holy shit

slate edge
#

I agree, Dusk has a good charming art direction and some nice use of lighting, obviously getting better in ep2, ep3 is Dec 8/10

jade root
#

though i do like e1's setting the most

crimson folio
#

It was just the least β€œwierd” setting in Dusk.

#

E1 is Blood and Redneck Rampage having a baby with HalfLife

#

Dusk progressively gets weirder the more you play

#

ye

#

I am no completionist but I hated leaving the last secret I Erebus Reactor up on top of that light thing

#

the horros

#

Those reactor power node bits are just cool

#

The buzzing sound coming off of them, the bolts of energy... Just legit. Like that's the whole map was basically an arena battle

#

Huzzah

slate edge
#

I like E1 a lot too as a setting, but I find ep2 is just higher quality with better gameplay and feels more cohesive. I know it sounds dumb, but I wish there was more Ep1 with the lessons learned from ep2, but its a nitpick since I like playing ep1 either way.

fast wigeon
#

ep1 would be just as good as 2 for me, if it wasnt for cutty and steamworks

#

i think it has a really nice variety of locations, and its good to have some 'normal' levels

slate edge
#

Yeah.

#

I love swamp visually so much though.

#

The use of candles and the atmosphere, the lighting.

#

E1M3 too with the tree shedding its leaves.

crimson folio
#

I liked cutty mine and steam works

fast wigeon
#

yeah i liked them, but theyre easily the worst levels in the game

#

also i really like the enemies in ep1, the scarecrows are really fun cos i like enemies that shoot a fuck ton of projectiles

#

and the mages are fun despite how simple they are

jade root
#

I like the simplicity of e1, but I'd love more of it

fast wigeon
#

yeah im really looking forward to the sdk so we can get some more challenging ep1 themed levels

jade root
#

E1 is easy to play through in a single sitting

#

E2 and 3 not so much

cerulean sun
#

ive heard 1.0 has a change to steam works and im curious how it will effect speedrunning it

void flower
#

E1's still my favorite in terms of aesthetics

mild ginkgo
#

cutty mines is i think the best level in the game

#

at least imo

void flower
#

cutty mines is great

jade root
#

Nah e1ms

cerulean sun
#

dont make me post the speedrun memes about cutty mines

#

its the worst for runs

void flower
#

I love that goofy ghost that floats by hahahah

mild ginkgo
#

yeah for speedruns im sure its hated

fair mirage
#

oOoOoOoO

void flower
#

Also, the fakeout with the yellow key rules

mild ginkgo
#

but i think that level displays mastery that isnt present in a lot of places throughout the rest of the game

void flower
#

Top-notch trap

cerulean sun
#

its considered the worst level to run by far for any category by all runners

slate edge
#

Cutty has a ghost which is 10/10, but otherwise it was the weakest level for me in terms of gameplay and a difficult one due to the lack of manouverability, its a cool concept, just could do with maybe some more open spaces, keep narrow areas, maybe add some new areas like a pit thats crossed via bridge, it just has flawed flow and ends up feeling rather short.

jade root
#

E3 routing is gonna be interesting

mild ginkgo
#

no see i think youre totally wrong there

#

the flow of cutty mines is so great

cerulean sun
#

i have a good feeling e3 will be a gold mine for prop hopping

#

harrah is going to have a fatanstic time with e3 i know it

mild ginkgo
#

it has a true understanding of how to reuse space , and confuse/disorient the player with a VERY frugal budget of space

void flower
#

it's definitely a big contrast against the logging level before it

mild ginkgo
#

that level is absolutely what levels should aspire to be

cerulean sun
#

sawdust is my bae 😻

#

its probably one of the better levels to run in the game

#

for IL

slate edge
#

Im very fond of E1MS and E1M2.

red gale
#

Comic is more or less done now. I hope you guys enjoy it for what it is.

void flower
#

Ooh! Awesome

cerulean sun
#

has the timer been changed in anyway at all in 1.0?

mild ginkgo
#

no

cerulean sun
#

or the weird .01-.02 variation?

mild ginkgo
#

wasnt that fixed ages ago?

red gale
#

I plan to do something special for the Physical print beyond just another layer of polish. so get in on that if you enjoy what you see.

cerulean sun
#

nah doesnt seem like it

#

its so weird

mild ginkgo
#

im pretty sure we patched that months ago

#

i could be wrong

cerulean sun
#

i havent done runs but last time i did it was a thing still a few weeks ago

fast wigeon
#

500 i agree with you that cutty is very elegantly designed

cerulean sun
#

but the leaderboards are being wiped for dusk with 1.0

fast wigeon
#

especially with the 'maze' part that makes you get lost without actually being that complex

slate edge
#

I do love the ambient track and its atmosphere.

fast wigeon
#

but it becomes a bit of a formality on repeat playthroughs

cerulean sun
#

also with 1.0 out ill actually play any%

fast wigeon
#

steamworks also does a lot of similar things to cutty

cerulean sun
#

then ill work on something for SGDQ or something ill have time to prep

mild ginkgo
#

no it doesnt lol

cerulean sun
#

steamworks is a boss speedrun

fast wigeon
#

both aim to confuse and disorient you

#

steamworks only does that in the first part though

mild ginkgo
#

noooot really

cerulean sun
#

its really linear

fast wigeon
#

the yellow key room?

mild ginkgo
#

thats been changed

fast wigeon
#

wait so the corridor doesnt turn into a staircase anymore

mild ginkgo
#

theres no longer an alternate route of of that room by default

#

there is one exit, and its right way to go

fast wigeon
#

then how do you get to the secret?

cerulean sun
#

aww so no more flying down the stairs at mach 100?

jade root
#

yknow what level i dont like

#

e3m6

fast wigeon
#

which exit is blocked

mild ginkgo
#

well if you read the words i said

#

i think you can infer

fast wigeon
#

one that isnt the stairs

mild ginkgo
#

there ya go

cerulean sun
#

fuck dude that made steamworks so legit to run

mild ginkgo
#

what?

#

no you misunderstand

cerulean sun
#

oh damn

mild ginkgo
#

the speedrun hasnt changed at all

cerulean sun
#

oh thank god

#

i was going to say i was geninuely sad

mild ginkgo
#

its just made the level less confusing

cerulean sun
#

that was such a good run

fast wigeon
#

i always thought that was the point with that area

cerulean sun
#

getting the spacing right before doing the big hup over the 3 jerrys and landing it clean is one of the most adrenaline pumping things ive done in the game for runs and i love that blue switch shot right after

fast wigeon
#

anyway, cutty and steamworks have other similarities besides

#

theyre both more claustrophobic and horror focused

jade root
#

see

mild ginkgo
#

i dont think its a super horror map lol

#

its well lit

#

straightforward

fast wigeon
#

the first part is

opaque spindle
#

Steamworks isn't horror focused

#

what

fast wigeon
#

my friend who played it said it was the scariest level for him

#

out of ep1

opaque spindle
#

lmao

jade root
#

cutty mines has you retreading old ground the entire time
steamworks you backtrack once or twice, but mainly its forward progress

mild ginkgo
#

people are scared of different things, which is fair

fast wigeon
#

none of the other levels phased him

mild ginkgo
#

claustrophobia gets some people, and not others

#

etc etc

fast wigeon
#

its the maze at the beginning, where you can hear leathernecks coming after you cos they spot you through the grates

#

but you dont know where theyre going or when theyll find you

void flower
#

woke take: every map is a horror map when you're bad at games like i am

cerulean sun
mild ginkgo
#

it will nto be

cerulean sun
#

πŸ‘ πŸ‘Œ 😌

mild ginkgo
#

actually

#

maybe slightly

#

but due to a different change

slate edge
#

But you touched the door in that video....

cerulean sun
#

the blue switch right?

#

i heard it got moved?

mild ginkgo
#

yeah

cerulean sun
#

will it be closer now?

#

if closer im kinda glad less RNG on the shotgun spread to hit it

fast wigeon
#

i dont think its there at all now

mild ginkgo
#

i mean you can always get the AR thats right there and has 100% accuracy

cerulean sun
#

loose time

#

i can cut the corner and save time

mild ginkgo
#

well im telling you its probably your new route :)))))))

cerulean sun
#

well for old build ill do what ever is the fastest regardless of consistency

#

and i still will for 1.0

mild ginkgo
#

your shot is now this

cerulean sun
#

still shotgun then

mild ginkgo
#

glhf

cerulean sun
#

actually i have a better chance

#

i found shooting them on a angle helped with spread

fast wigeon
#

ahhh

mild ginkgo
#

thats not science

fast wigeon
#

i forgot where the switch was

cerulean sun
#

also its in a better spot i dont think ill have to lean out for it ill be able to have a more direct line to the door way after i shoot it

#

so like 16-17 seconds is likely where a solid run will land now

#

my 20.02 has stucks that could be like a 19 or 18

mild ginkgo
#

ehhh

#

idk

#

we'll see

cerulean sun
#

i come from goldeneye we find ways

#

no matter how degenerate

#

i was going to cook up some e1m1 on dec 10th but tbh steamworks got me more fired up

mild ginkgo
#

definitely i could see a tenth of a second or whatever saved

#

just because of the leatherneck dodge

cerulean sun
#

ive optimized the fuck out of e1m1 and its now just time to go for a the god run on it but for other levels there is so much more progress to be made towards true optimization

#

the problem is i have to change strafes and do more WASD type input changes which slows duskdude down

#

the more i can hold a strafe with out to much change in input the better

#

also the door it self leading to the blue key could be shot sooner saving more time on not grinding it

mild ginkgo
#

im just hoping more people pick up full any % runs

#

ILs are cool but i cant grind the same level 1000 times in a row

cerulean sun
#

i will be ive been waiting for the full game to come out first

#

personally it also depends on rule set for any% if they use in game only i kinda dont like it

#

menuing etc should be included and a separate timer used

mild ginkgo
#

menuing is boringggg

#

zzz

#

whats the point

cerulean sun
#

because the game doesnt actually continue with out doing it between episodes

#

and transitioning levels

mild ginkgo
#

right

cerulean sun
#

it still requires the user to react and input

mild ginkgo
#

ew

#

its a menu

#

its not part of the game

cerulean sun
#

in nascar or f1 do they stop the race for you to change tires or fuel up that car?

mild ginkgo
#

no but id equate it to them timing you taking a shit before the race

#

also nascar is a race in realtime against others anyways

#

i know this is an unending debate in tons of games for years anyways

cerulean sun
#

any% can be raced against one another

mild ginkgo
#

we wont be the ones to solve it

cerulean sun
#

i think any% has always been tradtional to including the menuing involved to change levels

#

at AGDQ it would suck to see someone in the middle of a doom run just stop and take a break because the timer is "stopped"

#

for me it equates segmented runs

#

i think in game time should still be used but a real timer should be along side it

mild ginkgo
#

i mean there are tons of games at agdq that go off IGT

cerulean sun
#

yeah but they actually put a real timer on them while doing runs

#

and count the menus in-between

mild ginkgo
#

mostly as a formality, the run time isnt actually measured based off that timer

#

like say if a WR was set there

cerulean sun
#

its up to the rules of the game

mild ginkgo
#

and the game was traditionally measured in IGT

#

yeah definitely

#

its been a long long debate

cerulean sun
#

for dusk id rather see both submitted

#

in tradition menus have been included

#

i know there are people who are faster then others are flipping menus in GE between levels

#

if you ever see alex andersons menu flips its actually insane

#

the dude is just world class at the game

mild ginkgo
#

its a menu though

#

i cbf to care about a menu

#

thats my main issue with it

#

they literally only exist as a formality

cerulean sun
#

its a small one so as a speedrunner why not do it

#

it should be easy and included

#

its in the programming of the game it self

#

to just say its not needed then well you dont really deserve to advance in the game

#

it is needed to advance the game

mild ginkgo
#

i dont really agree with that lol

cerulean sun
#

i know it seems super nit picky but its fact

mild ginkgo
#

theyre totally separate things

cerulean sun
#

its programming

mild ginkgo
#

the game is not the menu

#

and the menu is not the game

cerulean sun
#

what about rpgs? or pokemon

mild ginkgo
#

those games have gameplay in the menus

#

there is no part of the game dusk linked to the menus

toxic wadi
#

^ was just about to say that

cerulean sun
#

then why did you put effort in too it and make it styleized?

#

if its so unimportant to the experience?

mild ginkgo
#

so normal casual players can play it?

cerulean sun
#

you could have had black and white text only

mild ginkgo
#

sure yeah

#

but that would turn away casual players

#

if we were catering to speedrunners only there would be no menu

balmy sluice
#

The entire game could be untextured with no sounds and still be the same gameplay

cerulean sun
#

but i am a speedrunner who says keep menus though

mild ginkgo
#

right definitely

cerulean sun
#

i feel like its still apart of it in terms of a run because you cant advance with out it

#

speed runner glitch and break games in so many ways its almost like we are just re-programing it ourself

#

so from a programming standpoint and code

mild ginkgo
#

but if we were designing a game for speedrunners only, we would focus on honing the experience to be as no nonsense as possible, and reduce variability as much as possible

#

and that would mean no menus, all config would be CLI etc

#

probably no loading

cerulean sun
#

how does a menu differ from any other piece of code or programming or binary running through the cpu?

devout reef
#

in intention mostly

mild ginkgo
#

well, one is part of designed gameplay

#

and the other exists as a way for users to get to the gameplay

cerulean sun
#

but a computer cant differentiate birary that is gameplay vs binary that is menu

#

its only ever a 0 or 1

devout reef
#

but a human can

late venture
#

^

#

the computer doesnt have to

mild ginkgo
#

and like i said, you arent wrong, its been a super divisive toping for runs of all kinds

#

it may very well be the standard dusk uses

#

im just saying i disagree with including menus in speedrun times

late venture
#

it's not about how the computer perceives the game, its about the user

devout reef
#

computers are just very quick morons you tell them to do something and it will do it

#

regaurdless of what you intended

late venture
#

dont most speed runs not include menu time?

cerulean sun
#

any% does

devout reef
#

hence bug fixes

cerulean sun
#

any% doesnt stop timer inbetween levels

#

currently using a splitter

mild ginkgo
#

although there are any% runs that go off IGT

#

sooo

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

cerulean sun
#

it uses both

#

but usually the separate timer is what people go by

mild ginkgo
#

for this game specifically, sure

#

but thats up to the community of users

#

like, lets be real here, youre running a pc game

cerulean sun
#

pretty sure we not using in game time for any% atm

mild ginkgo
#

already thats suspect

#

you have non standard hardware running at different framerates etc

#

it effects behaviors of all kind

balmy sluice
#

Also wouldn't loading screens be included in the time?

mild ginkgo
#

its just how far out you want to extend silly logic

cerulean sun
#

just the nature of the beast of speedrunning tbh

mild ginkgo
#

right exactly

cerulean sun
#

if you dont like the hardware dont run the game

jade root
#

would character creation be factored into game time? cause i didnt add that in my UA "speedrun"

cerulean sun
#

i think you guys are kinda missing my point

#

usually any% has a start point of the timer and an end point for the timer

#

and anything inbetween is counted including loading screens and menuing

#

the timer shouldnt stop just because

mild ginkgo
#

but you see why some people dont like that right?

cerulean sun
#

yeah thats why you run segmented

mild ginkgo
#

if my pc is slower than yours, but im more skilled than you

#

thats lame

cerulean sun
#

lets be honest here dusk is not a demanding game

mild ginkgo
#

yeah im not talking about dusk specifically

cerulean sun
#

my computer is 5 years old and i have some of the fastest IL times

mild ginkgo
#

just as a whole

devout reef
#

its also a litteral paywalling content based on your PC specs

cerulean sun
#

so FPS isnt that much of a factor for people

balmy sluice
#

Putting it on an nvme drive would likely help your loading screen times though

kindred coyote
#

dusk devs, have you ever played any puppet combo games and to what extent does DUSK borrow from the former?

crimson folio
#

Unless at an FPS of below 20

@kindred coyote yeah david is good friends with the dev

devout reef
#

if you got an SSD and most people are using Hard drives it gives you an advantage

kindred coyote
#

neato

late venture
#

what's puppet combo?

cerulean sun
#

who doesnt have a SSD today though?

mild ginkgo
#

yeah he loves puppet combo

kindred coyote
worthy pond
#

hello, i do not have an ssd

devout reef
#

many folks

kindred coyote
#

a developer of gritty 70s-80s-inspired retro horror games

mild ginkgo
#

yeah puppet combo is super good

#

pls support him

kindred coyote
#

i couldn't finish power drill massacre tbh, i'm too much of a bitch

late venture
#

is puppet combo the name of the game?

#

ill have to look it up

kindred coyote
#

no, it's the developer

#

i linked it above

late venture
#

oop

#

my bad

devout reef
#

SSD's aren't super common for gaming till you get to higher end of the PC SPECtrum

mild ginkgo
#

the zed ecks spectrum

cerulean sun
#

but yeah ill fight for dusk any% to have a proper start point and end point for Any% and anything inbetween counts

mild ginkgo
#

yeah and its probably the way it will end up being

#

im just saying in my opinion its silly

cerulean sun
#

and in my opinion its not so thats why i usually avoid running games like that

#

but i also come from a space where console hardware is the same for everyone and its an even playing ground

mild ginkgo
#

right yeah, and it makes a lot of sense in that case

#

load times always being the same, etc

#

i tend to agree there

cerulean sun
#

i totally get what you mean but i feel for an old school shooter like dusk it needs to follow the old school frame work

devout reef
#

in that case it makes sense but PCs are different in that case

placid pebble
#

so, when dusk hits with switch, maybe the speedrun cominity should go to IGT

mild ginkgo
#

i doubt many people are gonna run it on switch lol

cerulean sun
#

i was going to dable in it

#

for a challange

placid pebble
#

dunno, there are crazys dud there

mild ginkgo
#

id love to see a super optimized switch run lol

balmy sluice
#

Except people didn't have doom on an nvme

devout reef
#

i cant see many people speedrunning dusk on a console

placid pebble
#

with the pixel botton to E1M9 eqs deee

mild ginkgo
#

i think ultimately this will boil down to the sdk version anyways

cerulean sun
#

id hate to admit it but switch version would likely be the hardest one to run

late venture
#

i'd speedrun dusk on my switch, after i hooked up my keyboard and mouse to it

mild ginkgo
#

someone will make an uninterrupted mod for it that plays from e1m1 to e3m10 without main menu

devout reef
#

if only for the factor of most speed running crowds stick with the Original platform the game was released on

mild ginkgo
#

and then you can just time beginning to end

cerulean sun
#

ive got some meme dusk speedrun ideas in the works when the SDK is out

#

the best meme run will be prop hop only runs

jade root
#

cant wait for 500 to add an additional 5 second wait for each load time on switch just to discourage switch speedruns

cerulean sun
#

any floor that is not a physical prop will kill you if you stand on it other then that its prop hop your way to the end

placid pebble
#

dusk any% but need to get the soap to the exit

kindred coyote
#

yes

thin sphinx
#

that'd be an interesting gamemode

cerulean sun
#

there is a few meme runs in the works

#

dont worry

void flower
#

kinda like that old HL2 achievement

acoustic oriole
#

been thinking... since zooming in while holding the sword isnt of much use, maybe its charged attack could be an alternate function via RMB? So that even when you have over 100 health you could still hold LMB to do continuous sword swings, which would honestly be more comfortable than spamming LMB instead.

prisma halo
#

RMB is for blocking

acoustic oriole
#

fuck me, I'm an idiot lul

#

forgot that's a thing

torn lagoon
#

Where would be the best place to ask about the far future switch port?

#

I recently sold my soul to nintendo by buying the online to get my Splatoon fix and I remembered DUSK was doing a Switch thing eventually

cerulean sun
#

are the servers actually better or the same now that people pay for it?

mild ginkgo
#

what questions do you have about the switch port

torn lagoon
#

I never had a problem with them before, so I noticed no difference

mild ginkgo
#

i can do my best to answer them

torn lagoon
#

Gyro controls

#

It will have them yes?

thin sphinx
#

is it coming out on switch?

mild ginkgo
#

its on our list of things to experiment with! i think its a strong liklihood that there will be some form of gyro controls

cerulean sun
#

i hope so that will make speedrunning interesting

mild ginkgo
#

obviously as an option

#

traditional controls will be available

torn lagoon
#

The control scheme for Splatoon is probably the best thing to happen to console shooters since the PC

#

but for the love of god, please allow x/y sensitivity options for both the stick and the gyro

mild ginkgo
#

i cant say ive ever played a game with gyro controls, so we will be doing research on the best way to put it in dusk, but its on the list

cerulean sun
#

splatoon is definitely the best controls ive used with gyro

#

i recently tried vr and that was pretty mind blowing as well in terms of monition tracking type control thingys

torn lagoon
#

I did a big writeup on it once, one of those billion word walls of text you see on shitty internet forums

cerulean sun
#

also dusk vr when

torn lagoon
#

then lost the draft so I can't link it

#

but basically it overlays the mouse style 0>180 degree motion of a mouse on top of the 0>100% speed motion of a control stick

acoustic oriole
torn lagoon
#

Oh, and a sensitivity slider for gyro/stick controls should actually include a 0 option that disables that axis

#

Splatoon for disables vertical stick aiming when gyro controls are enabled, and I could see people either wanting it on or being able to disable horizontal aiming with gyro

#

well, that's all I have to say on that for now

#

happy gibbing

#

WOW

#

I can't believe I missed the opportunity to say Happy Gibsgiving

acoustic oriole
#

just finished Ep 1 for the first time since the changes

#

really love all the little changes\added stuff, especially in E1M10

fast wigeon
#

whats been added in e1m10?

acoustic oriole
#

the cult leader has one additional line, and I'm pretty sure that "This is only the beginning" has been re-recorded

#

also that green energy flowing into the Creation's chamber, I'm pretty sure that's new

fast wigeon
#

i cant remember tbh, id have to play it again

acoustic oriole
#

will move on to replay Ep 2 tomorrow

mild ginkgo
#

opaque spindle
#

Wait so when does dusk come out

marble narwhal
#

I wonder how much the MP is gonna blow up when dusk day arrives

void flower
#

wait so

#

in terms of absolute time since the big bang

#

down to the micronanosmallosecond

vague egret
#

13.772 billion years

marble narwhal
#

Am I the only one who feels like 13.772 billion years is an oddly young age for the universe?

#

Considering our planet is estimated to have been around for 4.5 billion years

meager bane
#

kind of, but a Billion is really huge

#

like, r e a l l y huge

marble narwhal
#

ye it is

#

1 billion = 1 kazillion

meager bane
#

1 billion seconds is 31.7 years to put things to scale

marble narwhal
#

lol

#

Yeah I know a billion years is really long

meager bane
#

actually, 1 kazillion is slightly larger than 1 billion

#

1 kazillion is 1 billion plus half a kajillion

marble narwhal
#

lol

crimson folio
#

Anyone have a pic of the Priestess I keep gearing about? Haven't seen her yet
