god that fuckin tornado
you know I have a question
why doesn't the soap kill the tornado
olive cloud
<@&249011167937298432> pls fix
mild ginkgo
what are we fixing
blissful mesa
Oh no you have pinged. We shall all face their wrath
mild ginkgo
the soap not killing the tornado?
olive cloud
Yes
mild ginkgo
it can kill the church
glass pulsar
Take soap to the end of the game mod
mild ginkgo
is that not good enough
glass pulsar
Just like the half life 2 ep2 gnome
blissful mesa
The soap can kill the church? What the fuck
olive cloud
Well technically soap can‘t kill the air so i guess it‘s enough ☹️
blissful mesa
glass pulsar
Time to smash soap against every wall
visual aurora

glass pulsar
In hopes to find something
mild ginkgo
nah its only that church
blissful mesa
Thats amazing and I wouldnt have ever tried it, or discovered it
glass pulsar
Still going to do it, I bet the walls are dirty and they need cleaning if they are dirty
mild ginkgo
lol
visual aurora
see y'all shit like this is why I love dusk

@glass pulsar smashing soap against walls will noclip you into the backrooms.

also dusk deserves props for making me genuinely scared in a video game again

fuckin ughhh that flashlight message will haunt my dreams
royal herald
what's the huge open area in episode 2 with the welders, turrets, soldiers, dukes, everything all positioned for your demise
jumppads and what not
olive cloud
@glass pulsar basically you noclip at an exit point so you can leave anytime it hears you
@royal herald into the thresher
blissful mesa
@royal herald thats the ruins level where you encounter the Bendigo the first time
royal herald
No that isn't it defenitley not that one
olive cloud
Isn‘t into the thresher that level?
royal herald
That's the unseen
glass pulsar
Soap is op
royal herald
but yeah krizar the into the thresher level is the one I just described
blissful mesa
Huh, I thought it was the same level
blissful mesa
Soap isnt op. Try grabbing that shit in the middle of a gunfight after throwing it once.
royal herald
nah nah into the thresher as I'm now certain, has the huge open area to roam about with turrets, welders, dukes, all that stuff @blissful mesa
the unseen is completely indoors
blissful mesa
Ok. Does it follow after Unseen? E2 blends together for me until you go into the thresher itself
royal herald
tbh though the unseen has one of the most memorable moments in DUSK
I think into the thresher comes right after the unseen
blissful mesa
I marathoned the gsme straight through so its hard to differentiate levels, more moments
royal herald
well that strawpoll already determined DOOM had the best level in all of fps history based off popular vote, and we need no second vote to know that the level everyone was talking about was E1M1 hangar, but DUSK came in second, and we could do a vote about the best level in it instead as well
royal herald
Don't include every level, only the ones people are most likely to actually vote for
olive cloud
Idk
blissful mesa
Which is the level with the city in shadows?
I think its where you fight the fish boss
olive cloud
I need someone to give me all the level names
blissful mesa
Obv the best level in dusk is the Ratacombs
royal herald
Lemme launch DUSK and I'll go in the level selector
I actually have DUSK installed on like 5 different computers lol
my laptop can run it surprisingly
royal herald
nah my old laptop can't. I think our house has like literally 10 laptops.
noble arrow
@royal herald lol same
not about the 10 laptops
just about the fact it can actually run something for one

if you have dusk installed

you just can search for the exe and play

do I have to do all the maps in order to get the Completionist achievement on steam?
I have all the completionist awards but I didn't get the achievement

no, just whichever you don't have done

if you completed them before the achievements update you have to redo them
crimson folio
nah I just finished getting the awards today
final estuary
oh
visual aurora
What do you have to do for the completionist award
crimson folio
get all the secrets and kills
final estuary
get all kills and secrets in a level
visual aurora
Is it all 4 awards?
oh thank god
I was gonna try to 4 award complete dusk
got to E2M10
fuck that
crimson folio
think I'll just do a new playthrough of completionist
maybe I missed something
even though I have them all
visual aurora
my only true complaint of DUSK is such a minor one
visual aurora
and its the fact the game doesn't have a thing that tells you if you picked up soap in a level
olive cloud
Can someone send me the level names?
visual aurora
tfw you put the entirety of episode 3 in S tier except for E3MS and E3M9
God you know what's actually insane about Dusk and the SDK to me
is the fact the OG game is already so high up in level tiering for me
and then like... mods are gonna be fucking unreal
final estuary
i did this based on my personal preference with the tiers
simple pilot
dweller in the darkness is just bunch of blue strips
yet it is on S tier
not much special about it
final estuary
i put it on s cause it's a challenge level and looks cool
again this is all off personal preference
i have my reasons
crystal vessel
The best level in the game imo
final estuary
go make your own tierlist
final estuary
with blackjack and hookers
simple pilot
exactly
muted jolt
yes, im doing it
final estuary
hey @prisma halo do you happen to have a png of the turret by any chance?
realized it was missing off the wiki
prisma halo
no but I can get one
final estuary
alright
prisma halo
gimme a bit because the dusk project takes like 10 years to open
final estuary
ok
final estuary
it's surreal
but i like the level cause it offers a good challenge to those who don't do the secret
people gripe about the level cause of all the enemies but eh
crystal vessel
I felt at home
final estuary
my favorite is probably iron cathedral
prisma halo
@final estuary
final estuary
i could just sit in the level for ages and listen to the music

final estuary
got a tiermaker for the dusk enemies as well though some images got cut off
this doesn't include bosses however

this list is wrong
rough ivy
the correct tier list
royal herald
priestess in S tier lmao
crimson folio
Are we rating in terms of difficulty or how good they look/how fun they are to fight
grand zodiac
are we rating in terms of quality as an enemy or in terms of danger
lol we think the same
crimson folio
Be my sugar daddy.
rough ivy
doesnt matter anything but cart dog is shit tier
crimson folio
Mine looks like a pyramid scheme.
grand zodiac
my rank A + D = your rank D
at least we agree on the leatherneck, bone ball and duke mage
and on the rat and chomper kiddo
final estuary
i can agree on chomper son and the turret
indigo shale
hmm, i may be legit stuck now. in the infernal machine i was killed by a crusher and it seems when it loads back in there's a wall keeping me from leaving the area :S
crimson folio
Imagine doing E3M9 on Duskmare
final estuary
actually i agree with most of red's tierlist
crimson folio
Doggos are cool because they have this sort of bull fighting song and dance you have to do with them
final estuary
i put priestess in s cause it's my favorite enemy
crimson folio
Scarecrows are satisfying to kill and provide a fair challenge
And leathernecks are basicly what I think of when I think of a cool retro FPS enemy
indigo shale
oh lmbo nevermind I wasn't crouching
rocky lichen
Please note that two of these enemies (Leatherneck and Wizard) relate in no way to any sort of racism. ???
rough ivy
yeah
quiet rose
@rough ivy ill give you a mute for that next time
rough ivy
why for i didnt know
quiet rose
You do know. You posted about it yesterday
crimson folio
I did a bad-un.
rough ivy
the cultists?
rocky lichen
i have no idea what leathernecks and wizards have to do with racism so im totally confused, sorry if this has been brought up before
crystal vessel
It shouldn't be brought up to begin with
quiet rose
Lets not get into this and move on
final estuary
@rocky lichen because i don't want idiots on tiermaker to ban the list for something unintentional
quiet rose
Move on.

balmy sluice
I did it without, took hours lol

Maybe I'll try it one of these decades
balmy sluice
It's a good challenge
final estuary
both
crystal vessel
Scarecrows are fair
grand zodiac
with their random ass pellet spread
crystal vessel
If I move out of the way I don't get hit
grand zodiac
you're basically playing roulette at medium range if they will hit you or not
final estuary
they only fire like four pellets at a time
dapper spire
yeah, they fire slow and walk slow. It’s just the super shotgun they have that does a lot of damage
final estuary
imagine if they were hitscan
crystal vessel
Just slide lol
grand zodiac
its not about the damage its about where they fire
crystal vessel
I do it all the time and I'm fine
final estuary
then you could complain
dapper spire
imagine if the soldiers were hitscan
grand zodiac
at medium range there is not enough room to go between their shots and its basically a cone of undodgeable damage
doing e1ms on untouchable was a nightmare because of that one scarecrow on the top floor
crystal vessel
So you don't slide?
final estuary
if all the enemies with guns were hitscan it would be a nightmare
grand zodiac
then i wouldn't even be playing the game lol
final estuary
fighting scarecrows is easy
dapper spire
it is
final estuary
just use the sword smh
dapper spire
or keep stafe-hopping around him
final estuary
take the ultra duskmare challenge
every time you die in duskmare, restart the whole episode from the beginning
balmy sluice
Scarecrows are easy to avoid if you're moving fast and keep a bit of distance.
grand zodiac
like in e1ms when its so tight
dapper spire
then just slide
grand zodiac
or in e1m5 where there's like 5
grand zodiac
have you played it
grand zodiac
you have to go past a scarecrow on a narrow ledge at one point
final estuary
are you talking about the top floor of the factory?
grand zodiac
yes
crystal vessel
I snipe that guy every time
final estuary
bruh just pepper the scarecrow from below
grand zodiac
pacifist intensifies
balmy sluice
Or bait him out
final estuary
you can't unfortunately
but just kill it from the bottom
question is why would you play pacifist duskmare lmao
grand zodiac
or in e1m5 there's like 5 of them and strafejumping around them is suicide because they will shoot you from behind and from everywhere
so you gotta snipe them from afar
grand zodiac
my point is strafejumping is not always the answer
final estuary
the level even encourages you to use the hr
balmy sluice
I can't remember the exact spot you're talking about, but i know it's possible to do duskmare pacifist.
final estuary
you pick it up and like ten cultists spawn
balmy sluice
Well, it's a shotgun lol
grand zodiac
cause you gotta jump past him
i dont see why there couldn't be like a star-shape pattern to their shots
balmy sluice
Peek him, let him shoot, then go around while he reloads
mild chasm
It'd be too easy to avoid then
grand zodiac
okay let's just play roulette then so that it's not too easy
mild chasm
Let's play get out of way of shotgun blast
grand zodiac
bad argument
final estuary
peeking in dusk is actually a really good strat sometimes
dapper spire
it kinda is
final estuary
you can cancel enemies' firing animations
grand zodiac
oh my god im not gonna repeat myself for the 3rd time
mild chasm
You have so much absurd mobility and typically plenty of cover that there's quite literally no reason you should get hit unless you screw up yourself somehow
mild chasm
then run past while he's reloading
balmy sluice
When I get home I'm doing it again
grand zodiac
can't always do that
final estuary
arch-tau has got me like
mild chasm
He always reloads
inner canyon
I bought this game only yesterday and it might be one of the best games I’ve ever played
dapper spire
good for you, my dude
blissful mesa
On narrow walkways if there's room for maneuvering, you can jump left or right and bait a shot that direction and then swing around it back onto the platform
thick sail
It feels awesome I finally bought DUSK, but I am on my Linux system for the next six months. Has anyone played it on Linux with Steam Play
thick sail
awesome
also what's different in dusk world is it the multiplayer version?
or just named differently?

is there any plans for LAN support, game servers are block at my university
steam lists it as online multiplayer

LAN support is coming

Oh and the map size is 2 times bigger than the real mass of Australia
This is achieved by using multiple cloud storages at once each game or whatever the f[BLEEP]k Crackdown 3 tried and failed to achieve

To account for strafe jumping
broken badger
the part where el is surrounded by the mind flayer in that red area
looked like the meat tornado from dusk
olive cloud
Oh right
balmy sluice
okay, @grand zodiac that scarecrow is way easy to dodge. that platform gives you more than enough room to get that key and press the button. but you could just shoot it and get the key to get off it even faster.
grand zodiac
meh, when I was trying, I'd run off as soon as I left the ladder and the way that ledge is oriented, it was very hard to not have him hit me at all
im just bad
toxic elbow
my second playthrough the third ep., this is orgasm
found the rat map... it wasnt that bad in my opinion, maybe its because I play this at pussy difficulty-I can take it
crimson folio
Episode 3 had some of the best level design and music I've seen in a game if you ask me.
toxic elbow
I never saw anything like the level welcome home in any video game!!!
and its fucking amazing every time
royal herald
I'm almost dissapointed that there weren't a few mediocre episodes in the game, because if there were, I'd remember how great the other 3 were better. It was all so well designed and put together that I can't really tell the difference.
crimson folio
Me too man, me too.
wheat zinc
it's not a real old school shooter without a couple duds
all of DUSK's levels are great
which is pretty unique
royal herald
cough* farewell to arms* thy flesh consumed* episode 3 of quake* most of the levels of DOOM 2 which have pain elementals in them*

I don't ever think I straight up went "I don't like this level" in DUSK
most shooters I can think of one level I didn't like
but not DUSK
toxic elbow
I accidently stomp on little neck.. what do I tell hes parents?! pls help
visual aurora
lmao oh no

all of DUSK's levels felt like they were there for a reason
I never asked "Why is this in the game"

Like I’ve said
royal herald
you weren't surprised to see the gigantic beer bottles in ep3
nor dissapointed with not being able to quaff them
0/10
visual aurora
Like dusk takes all of these weird styles and just makes them work
toxic elbow
I tried to drink it
royal herald
can't quaff the giant beer bottles
toxic elbow
I couldnt
crimson folio
When it comes to Dusk, I think the best way to look at the game is to appreciate all the little things it offers you. Like for instance, shifting gravity, using slow motion, all of Jakob and Nyarlathotep's voice lines, the sound design l, and last but not least the soundtrack.
toxic elbow
lol it would be funny if youll get alcohol poisoning from it
wheat zinc
Duskmare drunk only run
crimson folio
Or just keeled over, one of the two. @toxic elbow
wheat zinc
a friend of mines basically shilled it to our entire friend circle
then told us to play it in Cero Miedo or we get bullied first playthrough
toxic elbow
you know what would be the best promotion for this... hear me out... if freaking markiplier played it
I mean its scary some times...
royal herald
if anyone with a large following played it that makes it good promotion
wheat zinc
E3 2020, when they announce the new PS5/Xbox Whatever
crimson folio
All that friend needed to do was tell them to play it on Duskmare, then the game would bully his friends for him.
wheat zinc
first game they demonstrate to showcase how powerful these new consoles are in
DUSK in 8k
toxic elbow
dusk in 100k
crimson folio
100k?
wheat zinc
in that bigass e3 scren?
toxic elbow
do you think DUSK would run on the year that quake came out?
crimson folio
I tried to play Dusk on the lowest graphics setting, I swear it physically hurt my eyes somehow.
muted jolt
Boomstick, you just dont put pixelation up to 8 to make low end lol
royal herald
Pretty sure pixellation decreases performance actually
or at least some levels of it may
royal herald
It's really negligible though, the balance between the trouble of pixelation and the alleviation of rendering
toxic elbow
you think I should try Amid evil
wheat zinc
yes
also I'm wrong
DUSK needs this
Graphics: GeForce 9800GT Or Equivalent
Processor: 2.4GHZ Dual Core Processor Or Higher
crimson folio
It's no secret that Dusk is very polished.
wheat zinc
very much so, there are no bad levels
no odd difficulty curve even in cero
movement is flawless
though I feel like DUSK could use more cramped arenas
felt like when the arena is too open, you can pretty much avoid everything by strafejumping one direction
broken badger
i fuckin love dusk, but i have a hard time deciding to listen to either hulshult's soundtrack, or do what i do with doom and mute the music and listen to either my meshuggah or slayer playlist
crimson folio
Listen to the Hulshult soundtrack, you know you want to....
wheat zinc
I can marathon all of DUSK and feel great
compared to DOOM 2016
where DOOM 2016 gave me a legit headache
toxic elbow
MESHUGGAH 😏
broken badger
i dont like that the challenges incentivize you to play a certain way though
especially where the weapon upgrade challenges are concerned
hope they dont do that in eternal
toxic elbow
Catch 33 is just crazy I can listen to this organized chaos all damn day
broken badger
or maybe koloss or destroy erase improve
wheat zinc
they are probably going to double down on making you do challenges to unlock stuff
in DOOM Eternal
toxic elbow
Chaosphere is nice too
broken badger
i saw em live at open air this summer
toxic elbow
and that old 1999 album that I forgot its name...
but I dont like their recent albums
broken badger
they were bad ass but i wish they played at night to show how nuts their lighting set up is
obzen is fine
dont care that much for violent sleep
its alright
toxic elbow
yesh Obzen is chill
broken badger
watching cohhcarnage play the evil within while listening to catch 33 was a surreal experience
meshuggah is great music for horror games
wheat zinc
I can understand duskdude losing all of his weapons to go into the nameless city
but how did Duskdude drop all of his weapons when entering episode 2?
toxic elbow
jesus... freaking the mirror part thats just horror
broken badger
yeah LMAO

I think they all slipped right of he hands because he used the soap too much

Crypt of the flesh forever haunts my memories of Dusk.... Scariest level in an fps game for me so far.

That's pure gold

You get sort of used to a keyboard after a while.
toxic elbow
but yeah the first level I played today was that level and even tho I knew what coming its still scary
wheat zinc
it took me 3 months to prepare for the horror
toxic elbow
you know at the level I think before the black-blue void...
the level before the big arena
wheat zinc
E3M8?
toxic elbow
I hit a madness crystal on that creepy big mouth guys and he just want and killed almost everyone upstairs including the cowgirls...
he is a nightmare even to the mobs
they also look a bit like a naked bird from down that ghostly head
like that momo meme

There's also that creepy bone snap sound effect when you kill them. That's just real fucked up.
crimson folio
He's creepy from head to toe
final estuary
Nah horrors are just looking for free cornn flaek

at least you know if he is close from that awful breathing sound
ho they called horrors? wow
how that balls that throw infinite skulls called

Horrors are an understatement....

replace all soldiers with Big Johns

yoo
pay attention... big jhons when he sees the horrors
big jhons when he breaths
big jhons when he sleeps

What happened?
toxic elbow
you cant say the A word here
balmy sluice
your message has filtered words in it.
crimson folio
The word wasn't being used as an insult though.
toxic elbow
I said about Duke nuken that my SILLY brother said it to me in a stroke
balmy sluice
We just filter it, and many other words to avoid dumpster fires. Nothing personal or anything.
crimson folio
Oh, I get it.
toxic elbow
yeah I get it, its not like I must say a brain dis function
royal herald
@final estuary I don't see any lore there
final estuary
It's in the trivia bits on articles or in their appearance descriptions
Most of it is speculation tho
blissful mesa
I hope we get a sequel that explores DD's role after the final boss
Not sure how to spoiler

Bingo
balmy sluice
you done did it
blissful mesa
Yeah I'm a bad brain and thought there were spaces. Hope I didnt ruin anything for anyone
It would also allow Dave and co to go wild with the hypergeometry non-Euclidean level designs

I think after Dusk you cant make something more otherwordly but I guess Ill be wrong again

I mean, if anyone can, its these guys

i was reading the comming soon and i was wondering if there was a possibility of co-op
royal herald
yes
right after GoG release
which releases alongside SDK
which comes within 6 months and was offiically announced and showcased yesterday, the twentieth, so probably a lot sooner
royal herald
what? how

you're at full hp

just here to let you know that the gog release and the sdk release are independent of eachother
noble flower
i thought 200 is full
royal herald
no 200 is the cap to hp everything else is a bonus

they also might be
royal herald
100 is max

if you have over 100 health you can only pick up potions and hallowed

reinstall, but backup saves/config because I had bad experiences with configs

That would explain why

The games fun though so I don't mind too much, only lost a few hours of progress
Well atlwast this corruption led to finding E1Ms
mild ginkgo
what do you mean you save corrupted
we've never seen that happen
do you still ahve the save?
glass pulsar
Nope I booted up the game and it was gone
I play games from a external, it somehow disconnected when I switched levels and the game crashed I think, then I had to unplug it and plug it back in
Where's the save data located? I could check if it's still there

can we make it law that if you're talking about a DUSK level you have to put it in all caps
such as BLASPHEMY or DOWN ON THE FARM
jagged ferry
nah
dapper spire
yeah, BRIMSTONE GROTTO was pretty good
proven bobcat
do you break your flashlight in thresher? but no not that one
dim plank
yes that too
dapper spire
no, that’s the infernal machine, I think
proven bobcat
I'm thinking of the one where the level is a normal level but towards the end you drop down that trippy ass tunnel and when you land your flashlight breaks
dapper spire
oh yeah that level
jagged ferry
blood and bone
dapper spire
creepy level once you get to the end of it
proven bobcat
I can't even remember what you do in that level on a casual playthrough, how do you see?
I get around by spamming my machinegun in a speedrun
dapper spire
if I remember correctly, by the end of E2M8, you go through a stairwell that goes down, and on the walls as you go down they say stuff like “Altars built with concrete” and “Fed with Blood and Bone” and then a Wendigo appears
also, really eerie music plays
final estuary
e2m8 is important for the story in episode 2 but it's the one i like the least out of all the levels
dapper spire
same
final estuary
it just feels boring compared to anything else
dapper spire
it’s not as good as like Escher Labs or The Dig
proven bobcat
I can't even remember it casually so it probably wasn't very good, but as a speedrunning level e2m8 is awesome, so many fun interesting bits
final estuary
in order of strength and memorability, the episodes should be ranked 3, 1, 2
dapper spire
the most memorable level in episode 2 was the Erebus Reactor
final estuary
i'd disagree by saying most memorable was unseen
dapper spire
that one was also pretty memorable
final estuary
up until that point in the game you've been slaughtering countless enemies
so when you spawn in a level with no music or enemies
it hits you
noble flower
dim plank
thank you, shillboi
opal plover
Man I really am in the minority for thinking Ep2 is the most memorable
dapper spire
yep
rough ivy
ep2 is the most memorable because erebus reactor, neobabel, and escher labs
and the unseen
balmy sluice
I agree, ep2 was most memorable for me.
opal plover
tbh I think ep2 is the only one where all of the levels are not sub par
dapper spire
well, episode 3 was most memorable, but I don’t want to start a whole argument here on why it is
at least for me it was
rough ivy
ep3 was cool but had the worst level design in some levels
opal plover
As in the one with the most consistently good levels
opal plover
E1M5 didn't have the best level design in my opinion
cosmic urchin
ep2 was a big mindfuck for me that capped off w/ that dark section in "blood & bone", so it's the most memorable for me.
visual aurora
The interesting thing to me with Dusk's levels
is that all three of the episodes are equal to me
cosmic urchin
god the blood text going down that staircase and those fuckin wendigos before they were visible in any way.
wheat zinc
you have a three hundred round flashlight
wheat zinc
The Basement Door Opens...
cosmic urchin
wendigos: 
visual aurora
Where you only... heard the enemy
wheat zinc
E3M4 had such terrifying buildup
and the moment the basement door opened, I actually yelled "oh fuck"
visual aurora
cough hulshult's soundtrack
cosmic urchin
had to go full horror on us just one more time huh
wheat zinc
Trust your eyes
visual aurora
also the fuck are those things called with the big mouths
cosmic urchin
horrors plural.
visual aurora
and then i looked it up
you weren't joking
dusk episode 3 enemy type - horror
Can I just
what a fucking great enemy.
cosmic urchin
nostalgia critic scream mod when.
visual aurora
OH GOD
holy fuck can you change the sounds in the SDK of Enemies?
no no no no
also can i just say like
what a great enemy type
Honestly. Simple, but fucking terrifying.
cosmic urchin
@visual aurora are you ready to see the worst thing.
visual aurora
n-no
cosmic urchin
visual aurora
oh fucking god
opal plover
Unironically scarier
cosmic urchin
i wish i had the other cursed dusk screenshots
visual aurora
These enemies are genuinely disgusting to look at tbh
not because of bad textures
not at all
it's because they are truly terrifying
opal plover
Also the way they crunch up because of weird rigor mortis when they die
opal plover
Also the fact that they attack by spitting phlegm at you
dapper spire
we talking about the horrors?
visual aurora
ye
dapper spire
they scary
visual aurora
they live up to their name
opal plover
I wish the boneballs were more accurate
cosmic urchin
the low poly models greatly contribute to the unsettling factor in my case because there's a lot more left to the imagination. and there's more potential for...unnatural movements.
visual aurora
the fact that on my playthrough I had the basement door text
and I wasn't paying attention
and i turned around
and fucking jumped
I... do think that the wendigo reveal is better
dapper spire
I went to the door as soon as the text went up and jumped out of my chair as soon as I saw the horror
cosmic urchin
i mean i was expecting something, but fuck did it sneak up on me
visual aurora
Like, honestly, Dusk is one of the best horror games I've played in a long while
dapper spire
I thought “whatever is breathing behind those walls, I probably will have to meet it”
and meet it I did
cosmic urchin
you shoulda played episode 2 before they made the wendigos visible at all :^)
visual aurora
wait what
visual aurora
honestly, i feel like the enemies are perfect just the way they are rn
dapper spire
they are
visual aurora
except the cowgirls they shoot too fast
opal plover
Cowgrils are good imo
dapper spire
they kinda are
ebon radish
cowgirls are a pain
visual aurora
Like, genuinely, Dusk is just so well put together
dapper spire
cowgirls are just hard to kill because of the high damage
visual aurora
real talk it would've been GOTY in 1997
dapper spire
yeah probably
cosmic urchin
yeah, if i remember correctly wendigos did not have those bloody footsteps when episode 2 came out. that and there were more at the end of "into the thresher" iirc.
cosmic urchin
i mean i dont remember fr certain on the second part but i remember there being two or three of them. there's only one now? i havent played dusk in a while.
ebon radish
Theres 2 at the end of into the thresher I'm pretty sure
and then THAT ONE FUCKING RAT OUT OF NOWHERE
cosmic urchin
oh okay, that probably remained the same then. i dont recall that rat
ebon radish
PURE EVIL
opal plover
ebon radish
rats need to be made extinct in Dusk.
cosmic urchin
i got a gif of some rats bugging out, hold on
visual aurora
That is honestly pure evil lmao
dapper spire
actually pure evil
cosmic urchin
we are truly amid evil
dapper spire
ba dum tss
cosmic urchin
amidst. fuck it
rough ivy
rat congress
dapper spire
the council will decide your fate
cosmic urchin
i honestly forget who posted this but there you go
thin rose
The rats are either trying to get loose wit it, or they are going crazy going stupid
ebon radish
totally offtopic: what if big john's gun spawned mini Intoxigators that reacted much faster than normal
cosmic urchin
dapper spire
oh god no
thin rose
Papa big john
ebon radish
we trashed the erebus reactor and absolutely decimated his entire soldier army why wouldnt he be mad at us
big john didn't deserve any of this.
dapper spire
fair enough
visual aurora
come on!!!
dapper spire
GIRLY MAN
dapper spire
CHMAN
ebon radish
WAAUGH
visual aurora
Also can I just say that Embrace the Darkness by Andrew Hulshult is better than like almost every other horror backing track
dapper spire
once I got to E3M4 for the first time, I paused the game for like 10 minutes, getting ready for what was to come
visual aurora
I feel like Episode 3 is just a lot more "fucked up" compared to the other episodes
dapper spire
it is
example: remember when Jakob says “The closer they got, the more they suffered”? yeah that’s why ep3 is much more messed up than the rest of the episodes
wheat zinc
DUSK convinced me that if David made a horror game
I would probably die of a heart attack playing it
visual aurora
^
wheat zinc
imagine if they put horrors in an horror game
where you don't have alot of ways to fight back
dapper spire
that would be super terrifying
simple pilot
or annoying af
visual aurora
I... yeah
Dusk makes you feel fear and terror in some spots too.
Like you're this all welding bad ass
then all of a sudden
wheat zinc
the way I got pass that part is that
dapper spire
pretty much just make them the pukers from dead space 2 and you’re good
visual aurora
the fall broke your flashlight
dapper spire
I didn’t know what to do when I saw the horror
visual aurora
I ran from it
dapper spire
I just used every weapon on it while I was panicked
dapper spire
lol
visual aurora
because i was cornered
cosmic urchin
i just had the ssg ready for whatever the fuck was in the level.
visual aurora
god the sounds the cowgirls make
cosmic urchin
crypt of flesh i think it was
visual aurora
i do want to say the sound design (all of it) is just utterly stellar in dusk
wheat zinc
SSG makes the bad men go away
visual aurora
uses soap to kill rats
dapper spire
that’s when I use pistols
visual aurora
I do have a question about the SDK
and it's: "Will we be able to mod our own sounds in"
dapper spire
hopefully
wheat zinc
most likely yes
cosmic urchin
most likely
jagged ferry
literally anything that might be hostile:
ssg: "i'm gonna end this man's whole career"
opal plover
You can do basically anything with the SDK
visual aurora
several people are typing
opal plover
as far as I know
wheat zinc
turn DUSK into a modern military shooter
dapper spire
Brutal Dusk confirmed?
visual aurora
and make a noise when shot
dapper spire
no don’t
visual aurora
oh god
jagged ferry
wait a second
wheat zinc
remember how in the start of E1M1 you spawn in front of 3 leathernecks in a dark room?
what if they were horrors instead
visual aurora
NO
dapper spire
stop
jagged ferry
OH NO
wheat zinc
mod DUSK so enemies have enchanced attacks
dapper spire
I mean, let us have the SDK, but don’t do that
wheat zinc
make Wendigos shoot projectiles
jagged ferry
dusk but wendigos also crunch on death
wheat zinc
give Horrors a melee and faster
dapper spire
make horrors instakill once you see them
visual aurora
I can't even think about it because my mind races with the possibilities of people making horrific, and terrifying things
Like I mean, hell
visual aurora
Duskmare, but all the enemies are invisible
jagged ferry
on a hop
dapper spire
someone make desert bus in dusk
visual aurora
hup hup hup hup
dapper spire
and name it dusk bus
opal plover
Honestly replace the musical stingers with Minecraft cave sounds and I'll shit my pants
wheat zinc
I mean Reveanant Bus
opal plover
Like unironically the scariest sound design in Video games
dapper spire
horrors but they play a Minecraft cave sound when you see them
jagged ferry
just replace stingers with the poison headcrab sounds from hl2
visual aurora
stop
wheat zinc
Poison Headcrabs are terrifying
wheat zinc
I want to see
jagged ferry
plus you'd probably die
dapper spire
I’d play that
cosmic urchin
all enemies are now cowgirls.
visual aurora
anybody else think that honestly the SDK is gonna lead to some of the best map packs of any FPS?
opal plover
Dusk Eternal
jagged ferry
DUSK and the Golden Diamonds
cosmic urchin
including the rats
wheat zinc
I mean
opal plover
With the dash and meathook
wheat zinc
it makes sense in the lore
jagged ferry
@visual aurora hopefully
wheat zinc
Duskdude is out for treasure
visual aurora
Because just with... what you can do
