does the "enemies are ruthless" change the AI in any way in Duskmare or is it just the all the enemies oneshot you part
vale oar
the latter
livid arch
ah
ive been trying to play duskmare and I hate the black meat spitting horse things so much
also the rats
kind of funny how it changes the difficulty of enemies around because they all oneshot now
so its more about which ones are harder to evade rather tha nwhich ones hurt you more
royal herald
I feel like when playing duskmare attacks are faster or something, maybe it's just the adrenaline of hopping over a rat.
livid arch
hopping over a rat needs to be in the XGames
royal herald
Dusk could have a really nice rocket jumping/parkour system when the SDK comes out
keeping up that speed, what with the amount of control you have over it, could be interesting to see

Awesome! glad to have you around!

and one of the best soundtracks in recent history too
also, lol, black meat spitting horse things is my new word for goats
and yes they are a pain in the ass, even on not-duskmare. especially in endless mode

low key it pisses me off that people are already asking for new episodes
I get jokes about it, but genuinely asking, even demanding a new episode is outrageous
David has pretty much only had the full game out for around a month or two now
I get the passion, but patience is key

I think user-created levels should be enough

an official ep4 will probably happen
but not for a while
David is more than likely focused on taking a break and doing his own thing for now

Apologies if this has been asked before, but what is the difference between the Buy DUSK Launch and Buy DUSK - Intruder Edition on the steam store page? Why is the Intruder Edition less expensive if it includes not only the game but also the soundtrack and graphic novel? I want to get the game but the layout on the store page is confusing.
grand zodiac
for me dusk - intruder edition is more expensive

its those fucking leatherheads man!

how far into the game did you get?

But you said you died more to leathernecks than scarecrows
Unless I'm confusing you with someone else?
warm pond
I got past them once :p
opal plover
I really hope you can get through Ep1 just so that you can reach a particular Ep3 level
warm pond
and if I died 1nc to a scarecrow and 7 times to leathernecks its still more
If it's a room full of leathernecks I will find you and do things to you
opal plover
Nah
opal plover
E2M3 is the last time you see leathernecks
Intruder mode makes it so you loose weapons after each level
warm pond
Sounds.... super fun actually
but then again the arms race escelation is nothing to sneeze at I bet
opal plover
It tells you if you hover the question mark next to the option
Well all levels are designed around sickles start afaik

I did the first one then the 2nd one with the Secret level
after that was the church one

and oh god the Mines scared me

damn, that was a guitar? Crazy creative.

Yeah
urban sparrow
Right? I stumbled across the pedal and messed aaround with it for some time until I got that sound and kinda just went "OoOoOo, that's interesting"
prisma ivy
I always find pedals really interesting
When I was younger i always assumed RAtM used a synthesizer
balmy sluice
I assume Occultivated uses the same setup?
urban sparrow
Yea pretty much
the ending is taking the master recordings of that big batch of guitaar organs and throwing it through a MOOG LP filter with some nice delay on the end and sweeping the filter
balmy sluice
its now my headcanon that every sound on the ost is done with a guitar and pedals.
urban sparrow
Haha, I DID do some stuff with just taking the ground noise from a cable and pushing it through some pedals for another track and faked a synth out of it
maybe I'll post that one later
balmy sluice
ground noise can get you some sick sounds though. Ive messed with doing stuff like that after seeing how the doom ost was made.
I'd love to see what you did with it though

what other crafty effects were done for the DUSK soundtrack?

i love how dusk has been made through not only a fair amount of hard, planned work
but just
"huh this seems cool let's go with this"
seems to be a big part in making a game
royal herald
That's been true with almost every great game
No good games comes without passion put behind it
There has to be, to some extent, people present who would want to work on the game beyond the desires of the majority of players. That makes it appeal to dedicated fans.
desert aspen
there's never been a good game that was just made by a committee of suits

Committee's of suits don't play video games anyway, they find staring at the stock market or whatever more fun.

E 2M1, you can skip the building between the starting area and the large courtyard by hopping over the wall near the fenced-in area.
Also, you can get on top of the factory using a barrel, saving you a couple of corridors.
spice knot
there are a lot of skips throughout the game, which is really neat especially for speedrunners
my favourite is probably the one in E1M8 where you can just rivet jump over the gate at the end

do the double shotguns fire faster overall than the super?

yes
hybrid condor
Yeah, but fire power is still a bit worse than the ssg
I love how stupidly op is the ssg, just like in doom 2 lol

the ssg is designed to be used point blank
double shotties are far more powerful at mid range

i got the double shotties as my q, the machine gun as my e, and the double barrel as my instant fuck you side button

crimson folio
that's not literally the first thing you- ohhhhhh

I pretty much left the bindings vanilla cus they were very like Doom and Quake, so blame nolstalgia for that
crimson folio
I need every button right next to my fingers
that feel when you've spent 15 minutes and found 1 secret
hybrid condor
lol yeah that feeling is awful
specially when you tried on every wall you know
dusk really need an Ooomph sound when you press E on a wall lmao
"oomph! unh! Where is it?"

give it a much more deep tone and it would be perfect lmao

would be awesome for the Switch release of Dusk that you could use the console's gyro to aim a bit instead of just using the analog sticks
i mean, as optional thing, but would be awesome and comfy
crimson folio
sounds awful for when you get really comfy tho
hybrid condor
but would help with those precise shots tho
or maybe im the only person in the world who's unprecise with analog sticks lol
hybrid condor
they take a bit of practice at first
i used to suck a lot with those when i played quake back then

I can rocket jump now
but
how the fuck did I get behind the level gate
FIX IT DEV
nah bro thats intended
ah

yeah
rather than put invisible walls everywhere we decided to make getting out of bounds possible for those who want to explore beyond the level proper
crimson folio
I glitched through by accident lol
graceful wing
that first one is easy on purpose yeah
graceful wing
it introduxces you to the "you're not supposed to be here, go away" easter egg
(there are a bunch more of them all throughout the game)
crimson folio
there could be a permanently drunk mode

probably not going to happen officially, but once the mod tools land you're free to make the mode yourself 👌
oh mod tools are on their way and will be available later this year

what about the barn roof
I have no fuckin clue how else
please remember, I'm stuppid

There is another way

The only thing I can think of that requires some form of propulsion is the fast fire rune on top of the building with the red key in e1m2
But it's not a secret I think
grand zodiac
Also there is probably a way but I couldn't figure out how to get the soap secret in e2m6 without rocket or crossbow jumping
But it's probably just my bad platforming

im gonna throw a soap at him

You could probably make a living off being a Dusk shill and being a NASA shill

I forget, what's the earliest Nyar-Nyar gets lines? Does he speak before the finale?
tropic bramble
yeah, duskmare e1m1 is easy enough, but I wasn't feeling up to having any risk at all
desert aspen
Also nyarlathotep speaks after you defeat jakob and walk down the portal seemingly to escape
tropic bramble
No lines before that? For some reason, I seem to remember him speaking in some of the lead-up levels
But maybe not
desert aspen
Maybe he speaks with Jacob in E3M9 when he says "Show us that you are worthy"

I noticed on my sword mostly run (unless crossbow is necessary somehow) that I tended to retry encounters if I lost HP or morale even a tiny bit because both were important resources for the sword

I'm not making it on duskmare QUITE yet

pretty much my reaction tbh. saw a single gameplay clip and bought it
got alot more than my moneys worth
grand zodiac
I almost completed e1ms on duskmare but the final scarecrow at the end killed me
Scarecrows are so fucking annoying
I want a mode where every scarecrow is replaced with nyarlathotep and the game would be easier
spare cobalt
just be aware of when they can shoot the next time
it's a big window in between that to get close and fuck of
f
grand zodiac
Ye but the way they shoot is so inconsistent
spare cobalt
if they dont have a line of sight they wont start aiming
it's not really that inconsistent
crimson folio
but its fucked up
its not made to be playd in duskmare
allthough i had alot of fun figuring out how to get out of thing to hurted
I FOIUND THE BALL GODDAMN YOU

it almost looks like a fucked up "?"
royal herald
I'm doing a DND campaign right now based off of DUSK for some close friends.
they're puzzled by the symbol
royal herald
Nah, I don't think it has that significant of meaning. Really I just needed an excuse to copy paste the rune image so that my players could see it.
dim plank
i'd say it represents a sickle and something in it
that's what i've based one of my school projects off of
just an eye inside of a sickle in the same configuration as the ordinary symbol

I was always more worried about drawing it in the right direction then what it meant
dim plank
i even named it occultivation because that's one of my favorite songs from the OST, lmao

I thought it could be the Earth in a sickle, predicting DD's rise to power

I dunno if I've seen that
balmy sluice
TO BE FAIR, youre taking the risk by coming here before beating the game
crimson folio
shut up
crimson folio
lol
jagged ferry
so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i'm still not done, i probably shouldn't be here yet
i'm still on e3m4
jagged ferry
it's not hard (yet), it just wasn't a great time to play
and yeah ep2 is fucking amazing
balmy sluice
each ep just got better for me.
balmy sluice
real talk, you should avoid this chat till you beat the game man. It would suck to have some of the best parts spoiled
jagged ferry
though i'm still on m4, and the time gap between me playing e2m1-e2m3 and the rest of the episode was fairly long, so it might just be me not being able to compare those first parts of each episode too well
balmy sluice
good luck!
jagged ferry
i have this channel muted
so i don't get tempted
yet here i am anyway
so i'll be back when i beat the game
or if i need help getting to e3ms lmao
also picking up the super shotgun in episode 3 for the first time is just
yes.
coarse flint
"Hello, old friend."
jagged ferry
just
mMMMMMM
it was even better for me because i had an enemy agro'd on me as i picked it up
and i ended up blasting him into the fucking void
and then i saw the text
like just give me a fucking chainsaw hand and call me ash because that shit made me shiver in satisfaction
tropic bramble
I played dusk with virtually nothing spoiled for me
I had only seen, like...a few screenshots
So I knew what the general art style was
And boy fucking howdy, when you don't know levels like The Infernal Machine are coming up
balmy sluice
Good shit 👌
I will never understand why some people try and look up as much info about a game as they can before playing it.
So many people in here knew so much about ep3 before it even came out
dim plank
I personally only partially spoiled ep1 for myself
so I'd know what I was getting into for the most part
tropic bramble
I only look up everything on a title if I'm pretty certain I'm never going to watch/play it myself.
balmy sluice
that I get
dim plank
^
tropic bramble
also please tell me I'm not the only one who attempted to manfight the tomato tornado in ep3
it, uh
didn't go well for me
balmy sluice
What did you honestly expect to happen? lol
sturdy ermine
if you fight the tornado, you break your fleshlight, the secret behind duskdude's power
tropic bramble
"Surely this is a boss, I'll just chuck the soap in and fire my riveter wildly!"
balmy sluice
I saw it and was like "fuck that" and went back inside to look for a basement
then went back outside to run
sturdy ermine
if eternal darkness taught me a thing, it's that while you can't bully ancient gods, you can bully their cultists.
tropic bramble
It took a few attempts for me to realize it wasn't chasing me and I could just run to the side.
opal plover
tropic bramble
also you can absolutely bully ancient gods in eternal darkness, you just have to use other ancient gods to do it
balmy sluice
so if I want to curve my bullets, I need a tornado?
tropic bramble
just bend it like beckham
sturdy ermine
or be the dude in wanted.
sturdy ermine
a terrible comic, an even worse movie, an ok game.
balmy sluice
curve rockets in dusk
sturdy ermine
curve rivets.
tropic bramble
the rivets are hot enough, you could probably curve them manually
would make shooting them difficult though
the last thing jakob was expecting
was banana rivets
sturdy ermine
why not throwing them by hands
tropic bramble
rivet-rang
sturdy ermine
throw your bullets extemely fast, ignoring the need for guns
sturdy ermine
sleep
grand zodiac
those rivets in dusk are some pretty interesting rivets
never seen that kind of rivet
jagged ferry
so i just beat dusk
and uh (spoilers a little) but fucking
i got out of e3m9 with 1 health
and got past the penultimate boss with almost no damage
what the fuck.
the guy's trash
opal plover
Nyarla?
jagged ferry
penultimate
as in
no
the guy before that
speaking of nyar i overthought the shit out of his fight
opal plover
Eh Jakob is fairly difficult
jagged ferry
reloaded a bunch because i kept falling off because i was moving a stupid amount
i just spammed explosives at jakob lmao
well
i spammed the riveter
and then just did a bit of smart mortar work
opal plover
I don't use explosives on bosses in Dusk by principle, too easy most of the time
jagged ferry
(i also spammed all my pistol/ar rounds at him but they p much fully missed so)
ah
i mean
opal plover
Also I think Nyarla is way easier than Jake
jagged ferry
then you're getting a false perception of the bosses
but still
yeah nyarla is easier
like i said i was just overthinking the shit out of him at first
i mean he's a fucking elder god
i didn't think it'd just be "dodge his very basic wack-a-mole and shoot out the ceiling"
opal plover
Nah if he wanted to he could erase DuskDude from existence
jagged ferry
i mean yeah but jeez he could at least do something more
opal plover
But he doesn't because he's just giving him one final test of worth
jagged ferry
impressive
opal plover
Yeah if I were David I'd probably made his attacks less telegraphed
jagged ferry
yeah at the very least
like the telegraphing is super long
and i was on cero miedo
opal plover
I did see some peeps like not even attempting to predict Nyarla's attacks
jagged ferry
lmao
graceful wing
David is bad at videogames. Gotta make sure he can beat his own game 
jagged ferry
OOF
i was shitting on jakob earlier but tbh his fight's actually pretty cool
like how you're basically him but stronger
graceful wing
Jakobs fine once you get it
jagged ferry
yeah it didn't take me a whole lot to get through
i think e3m9 is my favourite level
opal plover
You're lucky
balmy sluice
opal plover
A lot of peeps think E3M9 is the worst level
I think it's fun for what it is
And the watchers of the gate is great
jagged ferry
i mean i can see why but i thought it was fucking rad as hell
opal plover
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK8g7kqSq-g&t=113m11s What I was talking about with not even trying to dodge Nyarla's attacks
jagged ferry
like "you thought you'd be getting a boss rush? no, fuck you, you get an ENEMY rush"
oh wow
yeah that hurts
though that was me until i realized you had to shoot out the ceiling
though i started shooting him and i reloaded when he was at like 27,000 health because i thought i fucked up since he wasn't taking damage anymore, and as i was reloading i saw another crack and realized it was shooting multiple cracks
balmy sluice
as soon as the first few soldiers popped up i was like "oh fuck"
jagged ferry
but then when i loaded back in his health was 17,500/17,500 or something
and it was the start of the fight
like hwhat the fuck did i do lmao
and yeah jesus the episode goes crazy after e3m5
e3m1-e3m5 is great
e3m6 onward is fucking
god tier
like the end of e3m5 tipped me off to something weird happening throughout the rest of the episode, but it didn't prepare me for shit
ok i'm gonna stop geeking out about episode 3 and just say holy fuck if dusk wasn't already my favourite game it would've just taken that spot
balmy sluice
Time for you do 100% it
jagged ferry
haha
jagged ferry
hahahaha.
fuck duskmare
uhhhhh
i'll probably 100% it in like
an era
and uhhh
thanks for coming to my ted talk
opal plover
What's your favorite track of the game?
jagged ferry
now if someone makes a hideous destructor equivalent for dusk then i'm gonna be forced to at least try to beat that
@opal plover keepers of the gate
by like 6 miles
jagged ferry
everything past 3 minutes in keepers is gold
everything before that is really, really good, but that part just sells me
opal plover
Also the very end where it's just a guitar
jagged ferry
yeah
tbh i kind of wished keepers played during the jakob fight
it feels a bit cheap that his fight reuses a track
when the whole game's been building up to it
jagged ferry
keepers didn't play when i fought jakob
opal plover
The first part does
opal plover
Keepers 3 minutes onward is the watcher's theme
Before that is the Jakob fight theme
opal plover
Anyway the guitar part at the end of keepers I think is the sole reason Unworthy wasn't the final track of the ost
Also no you're not
graceful wing
The only idiot on this server is jab
jagged ferry
damn tru tho
jagged ferry
also yeah reflections of violence is great too
hardy pendant
The music is great and all, but meeting the guy who's been an annoying voice in your head this whole time and realizing he's just like you hits harder than anything else I could think of next to the actual final boss
He doesn't have a lot of health, but that’s because he's mobile as all hell
gaunt shard
rough dove
The Jakob fight being what is essentially a 1v1 between players was great, lol. I didn’t expect that at all
I wish it was a bit harder though. He’s pretty easy to kill
grand zodiac
Even without figuring out the pattern it's a cakewalk
He should have more attacks which are harder to dodge and require constant concentration to avoid
crimson folio
meager current
Good thing you can flush toilets in Dusk.
jagged ferry
fuck off, discord
i tried to soap jakob but i couldn't find the soap on the ground after i sent it through lmao
there
jesus
vale oar
u can't
jagged ferry
yeah, i figured that out already
meager current
I'd be impressed if you could hit him while he's zooming around.
jagged ferry
true
tbh i think one of the reasons you can't soap him is the whole cultists zooming in to finish him off thing
meager current
UNWORTHY
jagged ferry
soaping him would probably break the level or something because of that lmao
meager current
Oooh, Co-op! Intriguing!
jagged ferry
wonder how e3m10 will play out in coop
🤔
maybe all the duskdudes will have to fight each other to see which is the most worthy
fierce lichen
Eh, or you just gang on da' dude
meager current
Could be interesting if friendly fire is on.
jagged ferry
lmao
just like "wait what do we do now"
i can see either that or nyarla just being like "worthy gang, RISE UP"
hybrid condor
would be nice to save jakob and see what the heck could happen
or maybe a shitty ending where jakob is like "you fool!" and one shots you instead lmao
royal herald
I swear if any of y'all make a gnarly pun though
hybrid condor
Nyarly Gnorc, okno
now that i think about it, if Dusk ever had a movie, it should be as cheap as The Evil Dead 1 lol
jagged ferry
i kind of wish you could get the soap to nyarlathetop and insta kill him for a secret ending
nyarlathotep?
whatever
spice knot
that would be nyarly dude
