what fucking level is that even

looks like one of the first few levels

it hurts my eyes, I can't even imagine playing a whole level like that

#

"that's one less loose end"

covert nest
#

god i wish i could draw like that

thorn trout
#

me too tbh

final jacinth
#

Super talented

covert nest
#

don't think of it as drawing, think of it as mapping a texture on some paper

crimson folio
#

I think the scarecrow is the best enemy to draw in DUSK.

covert nest
#

i've always liked the Leathernecks

#

plus they are the easiest thing to possibly ever cosplay as

lusty fable
#

I wish scarecrows were use more in dusk

#

Pretty good enemies but the random spread can be annoying

final estuary
#

Scarecrows should have more pellets per shot to make them more challenging imo

#

Four is pretty easy to dodge

#

So an update on this seemingly rare input lag issue, there is no input lag at lower resolution. Half a second mouse and keyboard delay at 1360x768 but no delay at 1024x768 and lower

crimson folio
#

What framerate cap you on?

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah that's gonna be based on your system and software

#

Not our game

#

The game takes raw mouse input

Which I didn’t know about at first!

covert nest

wait what

final jacinth

and a message on the wall over the cliff

#

@mild ginkgo the frame rate is uncapped. Probably a hardware issue but I can run source games with no lag or stutter so that’s why I’m confused.

mild ginkgo
#

try turning vsync on and let us know

astral thicket
#

Vsync has the same result. 848x480 runs extremely smoothly though

mellow pond
#

i liked the scarecrows

#

always thought it was weird they dropped only like 1 shell though lol

jade root
#

Originally they didn’t drop anything

#

And soldiers dropped pistol ammo

covert nest
#

they still do

jade root
#

They drop a variety of ammo now

simple pilot
#

pistol bullets, shotgun shells and assault rifle rounds

jade root
#

It used to just be pistol clips

drowsy oriole
#

Hunting rifle rounds, not assault rounds. I thought so at first, but the pickup text says otherwise.

crimson folio
#

can anyone hand me a savefile with all maps available in level select?

#

I lost my save

#

So... I just finished the game. And i have one question.

#

Where is co-op?

coming.... eventually.

#

now serious thought

#

Dusk team you do you, amazing work

ebon radish
#

god i cant wait for the sdk, im going to pour so many more hours into dusk with that

covert nest
#

what is newgame+

royal herald
#

SHILLBOI UPDATED

#

Guys that means it's actually soon

covert nest
#

i always wondered what that was

jagged ferry
#

wrong vy

#

avain invoked !duskroadmap

royal herald
#

Yes, but it isn't the same roadmap

jagged ferry
#

ok well i wouldn't know if that's true

royal herald
#

"Expect to see these features and more in dusk soon" isn't the same as it used to be

#

that's the part that changed

jagged ferry
#

so i'm gonna file that under t-pose

opaque spindle
#

No thats the same

#

Always said that

royal herald
#

Isn't this the roadmap?

jade root
#

Kinda

#

Yeah

opaque spindle
#

Yeah but the duskroadmap command has always been what avain just did lol

royal herald
#

Maybe it shouldn't be, since I think the linux/mac versions are here now right? Or am I insane?

#

And hasn't DUSK always been DRM free?

opaque spindle
#

Yeah they're around

#

yeah

jade root
#

It’s an old list

royal herald
#

Yeah then roadmap needs updated

jade root
#

But we are too lazy to update it lol

#

Take it to Dave

royal herald
#

bruh

opaque spindle
#

we don't update until Dave yells at Avain or Lain

jade root
#

We’ll get around to it one day

opaque spindle
#

otherwise 🤷

#

We still have that stupid mailing list post

#

even though no one uses it

jade root
#

We use that command like

#

Once a month

royal herald
#

28 results this year

#

at least twice a month

opaque spindle
#

sdk this summer guys

royal herald
#

bruh I thought it was within 6 months like 3 months ago

jade root
#

Are you actually this concerned over it

royal herald
#

nah not really

jade root
#

Kgood

royal herald
#

one day we'll have sdk guys, one day.

jade root
#

Zombie just needs that beta dnf build

opaque spindle
#

sdk will be out once we got the 2001 dnf build

royal herald
#

can't wait for the blood quake and doom mods.

#

I think DOOM's monster set would actually swap pretty well with DUSK's

jagged ferry
#

tbh if any game's gonna get totally remade into dusk it's gonna be either doom or blood

drowsy oriole
graceful wing
#

i don't want to redo the command every time a feature gets shipped

#

really comes down to laziness to be brutally honest lol

#

that command is used like once a month anyway

jagged ferry
#

wow

#

that description of dusk is totally wrong

crimson folio
#

I remember when varg said he wanted to stream DUSK in his gta san adreas stream then never mentioned it again

jagged ferry
#

big brain joel

dim star
#

he did a 35 minute stream of it

crimson folio
#

I meant stream DUSK again

drowsy oriole
#

I think he played it off stream. Oh and where could I find that stream? This is news to me.

crimson folio
#

I think it was in one of his spooky gta san andreas streams.

#

1st one I think.

drowsy oriole
#

Yeah I saw that part too. It was when he was going up that mountain before he saw the ghost plane crash.

#

But yeah, thank you. I'll be watching that later.

crimson folio
#

I want a DUSK wad to make the guardian only shoot one mortar

drowsy oriole
#

At a time like the Cyberdemon?

crimson folio
#

No for comedic and anti-climactic effect.

drowsy oriole
#

Add a weak pfft sound effect for good measure.

final jacinth
#

I’m very curious about NG+

covert nest
#

bruh ||if we get to go back into it with those powers we got at the end of the game that would be sick as fuck||

crimson folio
#

That would be amazing.

#

NG+, on E1M1 at the start

#

it will be 3 horrors instead of 3 leathernecks

with sickles that's borderline ahit death wish levels of bullshit lmao

#

well then again there's also throwables in that room

#

so

#

yeah

#

there are a bunch of throwables in the first room

#

just reflect the projectiles with sickles :4head:

jagged ferry
#

yes let me reflect all 20 projectiles with le sickes

I can’t wait for those unfair DUSK wads.

Will there be a date announcement, or rough date range, as it gets closer?

#

like Dec. 10, or even say. November 15
Or “December 2019”

final estuary
#

Traditionally there hasnt been set dates for updates

#

It's either soon or eventually

opaque spindle
#

There wont be a date until very close to release

#

Rats in Duskmare: OH SHIT A RAT

jade root
#

We usually don’t do announcement dates until a week or two before we know when it’ll be done

#

And just because it’s done doesn’t mean it’s shippable

graceful wing
#

Okay, so announcing a release date = committing to said date. Game development is an extremely volatile process and things can change suddenly.
So while us saying "soon™" might get a bit frustrating at times it's really best for everyone that we do not commit to a solid release date

#

Reimu

final jacinth
#

Yea I’ve seen it with clash of clans. Something is pushed back and people flip. Hey I mean look doom eternal was pushed back too

#

a date range is more leeway like December 2019, but still is a time frame

royal herald
#

That was received well though

#

The doom pushback was controversial but I've seen most levelheaded people understand

jade root
#

Hi david

crimson folio
#

you mean

#

most non-idiots

#

understand that game developing takes time

#

honestly just ask people like that if they value a game released fast or a good game released

vast tangle
#

If Bethesda is involved, then a delay is very much for the better

#

Despite Todd's insistence, their stuff usually doesn't just work

crimson folio
#

To be honest I think my biggest problem with DUSK is its blood clouds when you gib an enemy. Sometimes enemies like to hide in them.

#

Which I find pretty annoying.

royal herald
#

not as bad as some other games tbh

#

larger enemies can obscure your view even

#

cough cacodemons cough

#

like just when they're dead

#

DUSK's enemies are all lanky or small enough that that is a non-issue

vast tangle
#

And if they were big, you could always gib the corpses

crimson folio
#

I’m not talking about enemy size I’m talking about not seeing enemies in my line of sight because of the cloud while they get the opportunity to get a hit. Unless that’s intentional then I don’t have a problem.

jagged ferry
#

they know you're not talking about enemy size

#

vy brought it up saying large enemies were worse for obscuring enemies then the blood clouds

#

in other games

I have a slight feeling that Reflections of Violence’s name came up from Bob Rosses TV Show.

opal plover
#

How so @crimson folio

crimson folio
#

I don’t even know I just do.

#

Probably because of how Murder Machine Inc. is actually “Mystery Machine Inc.”
And bob rosses episode titles started with “Reflections” or “Reflections of” a lot.

#

Well not a lot but some.

opal plover
#

Ah I see

#

Honestly Reflections of violence is such a cool name

#

It's sounds awesome and metal but also with an undertone of a traumatic experience

#

Just like the song itself

reflections is definitely a notable track

"So there I was, sitting back watching Hazbin Hotel like some sort of dork, trying to figure out what all the fuss was about when suddenly I notice the mediocre voice acting slowly fading out as rock filled my ears.

by "you" do you mean Dusk Dude's Red Thought Texts™?

final jacinth
#

What’s the record for lasting the longest in endless mode? That would depend on the difficulty and map you look at, too

royal herald
#

On accessible I imagine it's so high that nobody cares to bother anymore since it isn't a challenge in any shape

final jacinth
#

I still wonder too what it would look like once you get to where the game... likely caps it? There has to be an ‘ending’ to the adjustments it makes. Maybe.

#

But yes CM and Duskmare would be the ones to do. And the record could vary by map

What if the wave counter is really a floating point number and it gets to the point where incrementing the number by 1 doesn't change the float, like, at all

Maybe use cheatengine and give youself invincibility or kill everyone every wave if that's possible

Or maybe make aim bot and leave the game for several day

Thinking about getting a dusk tshirt. It's one of the few merch shirts you can get for things I'm into that looks nice enough to wear in public. I should probably browse what shirts they have, probably just want the dusk brand on a shirt, no interesting or fun design or anything like that.

Because buying the game twice isn't enough money spent I guess.

I wish the voice actor (I forget and am not sure who it was) that voiced Jakob would do a reading of a children's book or something in that voice.

#

It's an entertaining thought for me.

it's andrew hulshult

#

also known as the man who did dusk's, amid evil's, ion fury's OSTs, the trashman, etc.

#

I looked it up. That's who I thought it was.

#

But I didn't want to risk being wrong.

#

And looking dumb.

short basalt
#

good choice

lavish crescent
#

But like yeah he should read a whole book like that. In that voice with the effect. Maybe some lovecraft or something.

#

I'd listen to it. Jakob is a big part of why Dusk was so memorable. Is so memorable that is.

short basalt
#

how about lovecraft's Randolph Carter cycle, especially the Dream-Quest of the Unknown Kadath?

I'm not well versed in all the Lovecraft stories, though I am interested in them. I read shadow over innsmouth and mountains of madness and that's pretty much it.

Did a school project on MoM.

david why didn't you pay for dusk to be in the game awards

crimson folio
#

game awards is overrated anyways

#

just play what you want

wind tusk
#

hear me out here

#

dusk maps in gmod

jade root
#

Have fun doing it yourself

crimson folio
#

VaatiDuskya here with some amazing insight to the wonders of the t o t a l l y deep and "serious" dusk lore that I picked up from re-re-replaying the game with extra special attention given to the world

#

I wanna start off with our hero of the day

#

The Dusk Dude

#

The stone cold silent blunt burning badass, having a clouded history involving a female figure, and a pair of extra gnarly meathook sized holes in his back, a penchant for loot and a possible fear for frogs.

But could it be that what we were told about the character wasnt exactly the truth from the start?

#

I sort of have a theory regarding Dusk Dude's reasoning for wandering into 'dusk'

#

We know he had a house, presumably having a wife as well, but why would a treasure hunter ever settle down?

jade root
#

Please stop

crimson folio
#

@jade root

#

I asked b4 i did this

#

But i wont continue without an ok from u as well then i guess.

jade root
#

Ugh

#

Fuckin reb

crimson folio
#

Do u have an issue with lore theories?

jade root
#

Listen man, doing paragraphs of lore is cool and all but I’d rather you do it in steam forums

crimson folio
#

Dusk is a pretty ambiguous game

jade root
#

Like if it was a few sentences contributing to a conversation then fine, whatever

#

But I don’t think anyone wants to read a short novel that will be buried in a few minutes anyway

crimson folio
#

So what youre saying is

#

Conversation about a game

jagged ferry
#

also

crimson folio
#

Is only to be limited to short points and shitposts

jagged ferry
#

We know he had a house, presumably having a wife as well, but why would a treasure hunter ever settle down?
i mean frankly it's more likely he started treasure hunting after ||his old life Got Fucked||

crimson folio
#

And you would rather have to scroll past soemthing completely optional to read

#

Ina chat

#

No one

#

Is occupying

#

I could understand if this was general

queen coral
#

occupy dusk street

crimson folio
#

But i asked

#

And as far as im concerned what i do with my time is what i wish

jade root
#

I’m not having this argument

#

Do whatever

#

Idc

crimson folio
#

I will.

#

Thanks.

#

@jagged ferry

jagged ferry
#

OH SHIT IT'S FLESHMONGER

#

I FUCKING KNEW IT

crimson folio
#

Wait, is it possible i missed out on some actual lore?

#

Like

jagged ferry
#

i mean

crimson folio
#

Did they ever detail his old life?

jagged ferry
#

i was just thinking about it logically

crimson folio
#

Ah, ok i see now

#

I got worried

#

The way i was seeing it

jagged ferry
#

but there's nothing to suggest he was a treasure hunter before he settled

crimson folio
#

Was that being a 'treasure' hunter

#

Was something a certain evil force might have instilled in Dusk Dudes mind to draw him to dusk

#

I like to imagine that DD's presumed wife likely went missing from home after a traumatic series of events

jagged ferry
#

i mean what little evidence there is just suggests she burned to death in a house fire

#

so

crimson folio
#

How so?

jagged ferry
#

er

#

there's a sound of fire

crimson folio
#

Or well

jagged ferry
#

and a woman screaming

#

2 and 2 together

crimson folio
#

I never noticed the sound of fire before

#

I notice the screams for sure,

jagged ferry
#

i mean the house does have some bone munks iirc

#

you could've very well been killing them when the sound played

crimson folio
#

Yea probably

#

The things i was gonna start to bring up tho

#

Is at the end of the game

#

||after passing Nyar's final test, Dusk Dude is seemingly given a fragment of the Old One's power in a forcible exchange for what little or no sanity Dusk Dude has left||

#

||Which in theory should leave DD as champion of the Cult, where he would Reign Beneath Dusk, which seems to be where the connection between the Elder World and the Normal World are closest, as given subtle hints to this by the games box art and the writings on the wall claiming 'something below is calling us'||

jagged ferry
#

"in theory"?

#

that's...kind of the point

crimson folio
#

Well

jagged ferry
#

the ending is the game straight up going ||"yeah dusk dude's the cult leader now"||

crimson folio
#

Could always be soomone faster, stronger, and better liked

#

And even then

#

They wouldnt matter

jagged ferry
#

ok?

crimson folio
#

Well

#

Thats the thing...

jagged ferry
#

if you're gonna ask "why dusk dude specifically" then because he was there

crimson folio
#

Whos DUSK and why is he beneath

jagged ferry
#

🤔

crimson folio
#

||Dusk Dude is completely fucking bonkers...probably...by the end of it||

#

Remember the meatnado?

#

Remember feeling like an ant in the face of a giant

jagged ferry
#

soap users be like "what"

crimson folio
#

Even them tho

#

Civvie tried that xd

jagged ferry
#

no deadass

#

you can skip the meatnado with the soap

opaque spindle
#

yea you can

jagged ferry
#

as in you can destroy the church and the...uh...thing in the church that isn't the altar

#

with the soap

crimson folio
#

I threw soap at it before and nothing happened

jagged ferry
#

not at the meatnado you nerd

crimson folio
#

Oh...

#

i see

#

But on the other hand...

#

This is where i should be gettinf into the armies role

#

In the game

#

In the graphic novel you can get by buying the special edition of the game, which i reccomend doing btw,

jagged ferry
#

i've read the whole thing

crimson folio
#

You can see that when the army is called

#

They dont seem to fall from actual battle,

#

They fall into madness

#

And kill eachother

#

Failing to contain that which cannot be contained,

#

They start to embrace it

#

Suddenly it seems like world governments are building great big machines

#

And feeding the crazed, fanatical masses into them

#

Because at the end of episode 1, its clear that madness has started to spread to a much greater scale

jagged ferry
#

i mean

#

not really

crimson folio
#

Go on

jagged ferry
#

...no, you

#

what suggests that "madness has started to spread to a much greater scale"

crimson folio
#

The fucking army

#

Is being called in

#

Lol.

jagged ferry
#

all that implies is the national guard caught wind of what was happening

crimson folio
#

EXACTLY

jagged ferry
#

that doesn't imply it's grown

crimson folio
#

Dusk is a small

#

Backwater town

#

Populated

#

By outcasts

opaque spindle
#

what the hell are you talking about lol

jagged ferry
#

^

crimson folio
#

What do you mean?

opaque spindle
#

What you're saying doesn't make a lick of sense

jagged ferry
#

also it's fairly heavily implied the government was doing shit before the game starts

crimson folio
#

All I know in DUSK is schüt

jagged ferry
#

i mean like

#

VERY heavily implied

opaque spindle
#

yeah

jagged ferry
#

like it borders on explicit at times

opaque spindle
#

Dusk doesn't really have alot left to interpretation lol

#

It's just incredibly simple so people look into it trying to find something that isn't there

crimson folio
#

What do you think

#

The thresher's purpose is

jagged ferry
#

i mean it IS to feed people to get energy but do you REALLY think it was made in the

#

like what

#

less then a week that is e1 to e2?

crimson folio
#

No

jagged ferry
#

then why are you saying it is

crimson folio
#

The energy is seperate

#

From the machine

#

Entirely

#

Until the very end of the process really

jagged ferry
#

i mean that's the end goal though

#

so.

crimson folio
#

Do you remember the Economy of Flesh and Bone

jagged ferry
#

the fucking what

crimson folio
#

That Jakob refrences

#

In the graphic novel

#

When monolouging over dusk dude doing dusk dude things

#

The madness makes whoever succumbs to it fanatical to the cause of ||Nyarlathotep|| and the Cult

#

The military and the governments, built by the power of flesh and bone

#

Are now giving themselves completely

jagged ferry
#

what the hell are you on about

crimson folio
#

Maybe i have too much of an eye for metaphorical meanings in writing

#

But what is more powerful

jagged ferry
#

this is english teacher level shit

crimson folio
#

Than a subserviant host of flesh and bone

#

Human slaves

#

Have erected monuments that stand aeons after they were built

#

Societies and civilizations

#

Built the world we live in

jagged ferry
#

...all i'm reading is "nyarlathotep does nyarlathotep things" tbh

crimson folio
#

Exactly tbh

jagged ferry
#

welp

#

this was an entirely unproductive conversation

crimson folio
#

Meat = Monsters

#

Monsters = Monster society

#

Monster society > human society to Nyar

#

Basically the sum of dusk

jagged ferry
#

...ok well you went off the deep end there

royal herald
#

is anyone ah, okay makes sense.

#

nevermind

#

Y'all ever play DUSK upsidedown?

You can deepfry dusk

royal herald
#

#

I need to play DUSK again

#

but this time deepfry it

DUSK actually leaves a lot left to interpret

does anyone have any hot tips for dusk fps improvements

the sad thing is i can still do a run with it

covert nest

fuck it, livestream time in the VC

who wants eye strain

i don't know how but im actually playing the same with this and my aim is somewhat better

I finally got around to sitting down and playing dusk all the way through on my day off and holy shit I cant believe I slept kn this

#

Like I got it a while ago but holy shit I regret not playing it sooner 10/10 I was blown away and need a new pair of pants and chair

toxic gyro
#

0/10 no microtransaction

#

0/10 the 9.99 dollars for the intruder upgrade was not enough money to give the devs

No towers to climb to uncover parts of the map. Wtf literally unplayable.

I can only express my feelings about dusk with one word, and that word is

#

NUT

queen coral
#

I wonder if there's any RIPs or available models of the wendigo

royal herald
#

I wish I had the chance to experience games for the first time again.

#

A constant search for new games, and an instantaneous depression when you finish one and don't have anything new to play

solar torrent
#

I intend on doing multiple playthroughs

#

My first playthrough was Cero Miedo, so my next one will either be Dusk Mare or normal to get achievements

royal herald
#

cero miedo is normal

jagged ferry
#

well no but actually yes

royal herald
#

cero miedo or bust

simple pilot
#

why not cero miedo on intruder mode

opaque spindle
#

cero miedo is hard any difficulty with an easier difficulty before it is hard

royal herald
#

wouldn't that mean only the easiest difficulty is not "hard?"

#

cero miedo on intruder mode is fine, just has to be on cero miedo

opaque spindle
#

well yeah everything after accessible should be considered hard

dark wigeon
#

First time I played through was I can take it cuz I'm a poosy

#

Besides a part in e3 that I'm sure people who finished know what I mean I didn't have really any trouble

wheat zinc
#

idk

#

anything below Cero and the enemies feel way too slow

#

for how fast you are

royal herald
#

I'll be honest, I'm a boomer shooter gate keeper. I don't feel like the first second and third difficulties are "real," in DUSK. In games like DOOM, it's the only way to play, the best experience by far, or in Blood, you've gotta go with well done to get the full experience yknow? I just feel like playing anything below it is not genuine

wheat zinc
#

Extra Crispy

dark wigeon
#

Hard in amid evil hasn't been that hard yet either tbh

jagged ferry
#

well evil difficulty in amid evil isn't a meme

#

so

torpid locust
#

Dusk is harder then amid evil tbh

final jacinth
#

Does anyone have a sound file of Big John saying his name?

wheat zinc
#

tbh I found Amid Evil harder Dusk

#

since in Dusk, you can literally outrun everything

#

and dodge everything

#

while in AE, I took quite a bit of damage alot in Evil difficulty

final jacinth
#

Was evil on your first playthrough

wheat zinc
#

yes

final jacinth
#

oo

#

I wonder if it should be for mine

#

I’ve only played the first two levels on hard

wheat zinc
#

AE I do feel like you are meant to take damage

#

while in DUSK, you aren't meant to get hit

final jacinth
#

Beat dusk on cero Miedo intruder with lots of quicksaves and dying

dark wigeon
#

I think I'm on e4 in amid evil I'm thinking about restarting on evil cuz again hard feels a bit easy

wheat zinc
#

try Evil

#

idk what the other difficulties are like

final jacinth
#

Did you all use quick saves?

wheat zinc
#

I heard all Evil really does is significantly up the enemy number

torpid locust
#

nah

final jacinth
#

It makes them faster and a couple other things too I believe

torpid locust
#

Since the game auto saves in certain parts anyway

final jacinth
#

It does?

torpid locust
#

ye

dark wigeon
#

Which episode is the one that feels like it mirrors e1

#

4 right

torpid locust
#

yeah

dark wigeon
#

I'm on 4 then

final jacinth
#

And if anyone has not just a sound file but any information I’d appreciate it

dark wigeon
#

Also I cannot wait to see what people cook up with the workshop for dusk when it comes out

torpid locust
#

The nuts.wad but all the enemies are Jakob

final jacinth
#

You madman!

jagged ferry
#

nuts.wad but half the enemies are jakob and the other half are wendigos

solar torrent
#

I can't wait for the ability to make custom shit

covert nest
#

all the enemies are rats

#

and it's sickles only

#

The sickles are rats

And the rats have guns

#

And the guns are rats

#

Shooting rats with more rat guns

wind tusk
#

hey david you there?

#

i wanna ask something but also dont really wanna @ you

#

@thorn trout hey this is a kind of dumb question but how far do you think i can get in dusk without jumping cause im thinking of doing it for a stream

solar torrent
#

That challenge sounds like pure pain

wind tusk
#

i know i love it

#

not sure if i'll allow riveter/crossbow jumps

#

they may be necessary

jade root
#

im like

#

99% sure you have to jump at several points in the game

wind tusk
#

thats why i may have to allow riveter/crossbow jumps

jade root
#

like earliest forced jump is e1m3

#

and you need to jump to get the riveter/crossbow

wind tusk
#

hmm

solar torrent
#

Yeah your challenge may be impossible for that fact alone

#

Unless you can find a weapon on the ground that has knockback, the challenge is impossible

#

Are there any enemies around said riveter that you can use to get propelled by?

royal herald
#

@jade root you've created a new challenge

#

no jumping%

#

If I wasn't preoccupied with the new terminator game I would defenitley try to beat DUSK without the spacebar.

balmy sluice
#

@royal herald

jade root
nova delta
#

wait you can crossbow jump?

#

this changes everything

jade root
#

you cant jump

#

but you can hover

#

and you can gain a smol amount of height with each shot

viral gate
#

If you got the double firing speed power up you can ascend real quick

#

Essentially flying if you got enough bolts

solar torrent
#

Have you guys ever shot the bow with slowmo?

#

The game's physics break hard when you do that shit

viral gate
#

wdym?

#

don't recall anything looking out of the ordinary when you firing it with the blistering heat powerup

jagged ferry
#

it DOES send you disproportionately flying

#

i mean fuck civvie showed it in his episode 2 video

solar torrent
#

I assume that the way DUSK does the slowmo is to just "Send player X units in Y time at Z speed" so in slowmo when that Y time is extended a metric shitton it just sends you flying with almost no end

You can also spam movement keys to cheese a lot of areas entirely.

I wish dusk could really run on a crt

#

what

jade root
#

it does?

simple pilot
#

man dusk is too new to be displayed on crt screen

crimson folio
#

But

#

Could it handle the thresher level?

simple pilot
#

what

jade root
#

i dont see why it wouldnt

simple pilot
#

i dont see any reasoning behind those questions

crimson folio
#

Lots of rendering

#

Namely in the saw room

jade root
#

as long as your actual computer can handle it idk why it would cause an issue

#

its just a display

#

theres people who play 2019 releases on crts

#

because they prefer it more

crimson folio
#

Yes

#

I just would assume that having to render all of the saws and sfx the system would chug out in certain areas

jade root
#

no?

#

the crt is just a display, not the actual pc itself

crimson folio
#

Oh.

#

I meant like

#

A whole retro set up

#

We're talkin

jade root
simple pilot
#

damn

#

those nerds flexing on crt builds

crimson folio
#

I almost wanna say

#

Dusk isnt far off from being like Quake

jade root
#

wow

simple pilot
#

technically its far off quake

#

so no.

crimson folio
#

As in how it might affect older pcs

jade root
#

uh

#

youd be suprised

crimson folio
#

I mean

jade root
#

theres a low spec mode for a reason

crimson folio
#

Like OLD old pcs

#

Pentium 90

#

Kind of shit

simple pilot
#

it wouldnt even run

jade root
#

im pretty sure it wouldnt be able to be run

crimson folio
#

HENCE WHY I SAID ISNT FAR OFF.

jade root
#

i could be wrong

simple pilot
#

which API dusk uses

jade root
#

i dont know how low from the bottom of the barrel we tested

simple pilot
#

opengl?

covert nest
#

never know unless you try

jade root
#

i know we tried it on some old hardware

covert nest
#

remember the Doom 3 on Voodoo

jade root
#

theres a x32 build too

#

bottom barrel was intel tablet processors

jade root
#

was that it?

#

yep

which ran (not well) and was playable

jade root
#

i too love 10 frames in 240x320

I mean

#

Ofc it would require elbow grease

vague egret
#

talking 720p sub 30fps in low spec
