tbh the cowgirl is probably the hardest regular enemy in dusk

ye
jagged ferry
is she?
you just strafe jump
🤔
broken forge
being pretty much half-naked
broken forge
making these sharp metallic noises
jade root
btw horrors arent scary once you realize they attack in intervals and cant do anything when they are close to you besides run back and forth
maybe if they had a melee attack it would be more scary
jagged ferry
i think you mean horrors aren't scary to fight
jagged ferry
they're still horrifying conceptually
broken forge
this is my drawing of cowgirle

Something about the OG texture doesn't really fit with Dusk's texturing style anyway

Wow I didn't expect that

The final one is much better
jagged ferry
i laughed way too hard
broken forge
that totally does like genital mutliation

if its not supposed to be that then why did it texture it in the first place????
checkmate david
u freak
broken forge
he looks more upset in the texture than on the model

a SUPER early priestess texture too, which is basically in the "these are just the basic colors shit will have" stage

thats the half-life nukage texture

wonder how all the textures were made
i love all the dusk enemies
i'd imagine they were modeled in blender
broken forge
chomper is just a butthole with teeth
prisma halo
I had a picture of the old soldier somewhere but can't find it
it's been posted in here before
prisma halo
it was a front-facing image of him, but yes
broken forge
they look like they have leopard pattern
prisma halo
you can see them in the original reveal trailer too
I think they're in the E3 prototype in the goodies folder too
broken forge
off i go
prisma halo
the prototype in the screenshot you just posted is playable too
it's one of four prototypes we put out way back
broken forge
prisma halo
search for DuskLevelDemo in this server
broken forge
do i need those to play the demo or is it just extras
prisma halo
they're all separate prototype builds
prisma halo
ok just checked
that prototype has early soldiers, but not the ones I'm thinking of
they're yet another early version lmao
broken forge
woah what magic soldiers with no heads
prisma halo
those are actually mages
thorn trout
Dusk textures were done in Krita
thorn trout
mostly
most of the enemy textures are
there's some photo sourcing mixed in for a lot of textures too
same workflow for Gloomwood textures really, but I've refined it a whole lot and learned a lot more
prisma halo
oh god, I forgot how bad the original ladder code was
broken forge
seems to work fine in the demo
prisma halo
it doesn't lock your directional movement to up/down
so you fling yourself around wildly
cloud quiver
Is that why in the sdk ladders don't fling you anymore when getting off them
broken forge
im popping off dude i love this shit
ebon radish
bruh that sounds more badass than the dusk we got
broken forge
mfw i get to play dusk -1

custom campaign time
jade root
if it was like that dusk would be MUCH shorter
david said he only had enough ideas for maybe 2 eps
ebon radish
idk you could drag it out as long as quake did
opaque spindle
member when everyone thought that was still the case
jade root
so while it sounds cool
prisma halo
@cloud quiver they don't in the final game either
ebon radish
you uhh need four runes to unlock a portal to reach the fifth episode
one rune for each episode
jade root
dave coming in and changing it made it for the better
prisma halo
guardian was a standard enemy at one point
but he fired the same projectiles as the player's mortar, so you could detonate them as soon as he fired them
dim star
enemies cant hit you if you blow their bullets up 
prisma halo
Full version of E1M6
Final one was cut down because it was too long and a lot of areas felt pointless
ebon radish
i like that e1m6 a lot better
prisma halo
Once the SDK is further along I'm planning to include it
ebon radish
i fucking LOVE e1m6 mainly for the music, all the open areas and big places made it so much cooler as well
prisma halo
Alongside the other cut content we have planned for SDK restoration
ebon radish
sick, i cant wait for that
prisma halo
I'm sure most people are more excited for E1MS2 though lmao
broken forge
jesus christ i cannot wait for the switch port
i will buy your game 15 trillion times
prisma halo
I really hope we can work out some kind of modding solution for Switch
Long way off before that happens though
ebon radish
did doom for the switch have something along the lines of snapmap?
prisma halo
doom 2016? No idea
ebon radish
dang
well i mean something like that could work for modding- have a website that the switch version accesses where you can upload maps and mods and whatnot
and then people on the switch can download those mods
prisma halo
I'm not a fan of that because it means modding dies when the site goes down
viral gate
Aye
ebon radish
yikes
prisma halo
One option we've considered is bundling mods with the game in updates, similar to what doom on switch is doing
viral gate
it was more to do that snapmap on switch would've resulted in even more restrictions to monster counts and the like
jade root
im not doing this again
ebon radish
switch on dusk

me kicking the door off of the hinges at 1:25 AM CET to ask if dusk on switch is out yet

E1MS2 was not a joke?

junior grotto
alright I've beaten the game 3 times, one time in intruder mode, all on ciero miedo
should I attempt duskmare
simple pilot
nah
jagged ferry
duskmare is a meme mode
it's literally cm but the player gets one tapped by any direct hit
which essentially means it's cm but not fun
balmy sluice
sounds like u didnt get good
molten crypt
i completed Duskmare and my god
it was frustrating and difficult at points but it was so worth it for bragging rights
jagged ferry
ok masochist
balmy sluice
Nah, he gets it
junior grotto
damn
jagged ferry
i mean if masochism is "getting it" then sure
junior grotto
welp time to put myself through that hell just for bragging rights
molten crypt
off topic but i'd understand masochism comment
after all, i did do a veteran run for CoD 1
do it, it's worth it
i promiste it's also
fun

oh geez veteran cod1
junior grotto
I don't even have cod 1

Duskmare Intruder Mode But No Quicksaves
junior grotto
random question: which is harder? Dusk on Duskmare or Blood on Extra Crispy? I even struggle on Blood Well Done, I can't imagine Extra Crispy
simple pilot
Especially in E3M9
balmy sluice
Yes, thats very rough
balmy sluice
the black Phillip wave was the hardest

Not to mention you get way more tools later on

crimson folio
when the wendigo booty😩
regal egret
Dont even try comparing blood's extra crispy with Dusk's duskmare. Blood is so full of bs it starts being frustrating from minute 1
crimson folio
you can compare to duskmare, but only because duskmare is supposed to be a challenge mode in and of itself
literally 1 shot by anything
simple pilot
Its joke difficulty
queen coral
duskmare is legit playable, it only requires a certain level of getting used to the hup dodging
queen coral
extra crispy has moments where you'll get tnt bundled and sniped outta the air by hitscanners in less than half a sec
crimson folio
oh god the hitscanners
i always hate hitscan enemies
they literally can't miss, and if they see you first it's like -10hp per enemy
at least
and that's assuming you know where they are and kill them quick
queen coral
ion fury does hitscanners really well IMHO
crimson folio
really?
I been playing through that and I've been getting real frustrated
queen coral
but that's a whole different story
on higher difficulties you need to be pretty mobile and hit headshots consistently
otherwise it does get frustrating
crimson folio
that's probably my issue
i'm bad lmao
I think I'm at the end of act 1 on the highest difficulty
with a huge flood of enemies
queen coral
the levels where the game gets stuttery can prove to be a nightmare honestly, since hitting the headshots get tougher
but other than that, it's fair
crimson folio
yeah
queen coral
never felt cheated out of a run, unlike blood
crimson folio
blood cheats all the time
on higher difficulties I wonder if any deaths are fair.
rounding a corner and instantly being deleted kinda sucks
amber sparrow
The assault rifle always felt a bit too powerful
And it also had a lot of ammo throughout the game
I liked using it occasionally but I sometimes felt like the game wanted me to use it as a primary weapon instead of the shotguns, which didn't receive as much ammo
granite gazelle
idk about you but i hardly ran out of shotgun ammo even if i was using it over 60% of my playthrough
amber sparrow
Also the fact that it the AR hitstuns well would make it powerful enough
But yet it also kills within one or two seconds so it doesn't matter
amber sparrow
Idk sometimes less power feels like more power
granite gazelle
fair point
graceful wing
you and suits should getr along nicely
prisma ivy
it shoot fast
jade root
David can you go above lains authority and bring back pie hd
opaque spindle
Yes please
graceful wing
david has no power here 🙂
jade root
Only reimu has the power
granite gazelle
the reimu zone
amber sparrow
Dunno I love this game like no other but the AR feels a bit too dominant among the weapons.
graceful wing
i've never heard anyone say that before actually
the AR is a gap closer for when you're outside shotgun range
amber sparrow
I felt like it wanted to be the solution for everything, rather than something that's useful in specific situations.
Holding the fire button is pretty much unviable unless your target takes up at least a quarter of your screen
jade root
I still miss the og machine gun firerate
amber sparrow
If I'll be able to make mods I might make one that simply lowers AR damage and ammo count and perhaps make its spread less ridiculous so that holding become somewhat useful.
That way it'd still have a reliable tap fire, a usable spray, a moderate damage output and great hitstunning
I'm talking like -20% damage and 20 cartridges per pickup rather than 24, and roughly half the spread diameter
livid pasture
I'd rather guns feel uniquely useful than equally useless
amber sparrow
Yeah, "uniquely useful" is what I am aiming for here
jaunty lotus
Also, the normal shotguns feel a little weird. They don’t really feel like shotguns. Are they just supposed to be lever action rifles?
^bc that would be really cool too, but I think it’s that their spread isn’t very wide
But, this is also my first game like this so I might be talking out of my ass
opaque spindle
have you never seen a lever action shotgun before
jaunty lotus
No, I have, but they don’t feel like shotguns lol
Not bc they’re lever action
ALSO my dad as a .30-30 lever action hunting rifle and they kind of remind me of it lol
errant carbon
No I get it Exvita, I di
Do
I think it's just a matter of getting used to them, they're really accurate, which isnt expected from a shotgun
brisk lagoon
Maybe the sound isn't punchy enough.
errant carbon
I got used to them, and I think the duel shotguns is one of the coolest incarnation of shotgun. But yeah, they're kind of weird
livid pasture
That's because you're used to modern fps shotguns having pitiful range or something
When it used to be the all around workhorse weapon
errant carbon
Oh hey, that sounds about right
Thanks Half-Life
Yknow, the more I think about it, Half Life may have ruined the FPS genre
(This is from someone who's first fps was Half Life, and who regards that series as the reason why I play video ganes)
small halo
DUSK shotty feels like Classic DOOM's shotty except you can dual wield it and it has some vertical spread
fine to me
errant carbon
Hm, I dont agree?
I agree they feel fine, the way they feel isnt bad, I think they have amazing rythem, and I dont think they need to be fixed
But to compare them to DOOM feels...weird
DOOM's shotgun is sort of a "point and make it die" whereas DUSK's are really a relentless series of punches
pallid solar
yeah, they don't really feel like doom at all
livid pasture
It doesn't have to be so it works
pallid solar
that's not the point
it was just refuting queck's point lol
I don't really care much for the doom shotguns personally
errant carbon
Equating the shotguns to punches isn't bad, I think duel shotguns should feel like you're just wailing on some fool
pallid solar
ye, bang bang bang
errant carbon
THen the fucking super shotty comes in and oh fuck now I'm kickin' em
DUSK is badass bro
And not even a normal kick, like, full on, all my body weight drop kick into the cultists teeth
junior grotto

errant carbon
There it is
You nailed it man

Oh yeah the part where you die
amber sparrow
Oh yeah the part where you die

Shoot at it until it dies

Uh oh

That's about a quarter of its health
Also I don't know which barrel type doesn't explode immediately
flint star
Ha bye bye
amber sparrow
Duskdude canonically quicksaves here and dies
amber sparrow
Oh yeah she's burnin'

I only discovered how fire works yesterday
A lit torch is essentially soap but it kills slowly
errant carbon
I always forget how each barrel behaves
errant carbon
Back in my day barrels either exploded or they didnt, gad dengit
flint star
lol same
amber sparrow
As far as I can tell all explosions deal 300 damage to enemies
And 30 or something to the player
flint star
flint star
oh shit this looks so cool
amber sparrow
You can heal yourself up with a cigar by the way
amber sparrow
I used it a lot in my playthrough lol
errant carbon
Yeah, I don't know if I've ever really had the patience to use the cigar as an actual healing item lol
Just too slow to be fun
amber sparrow
Probably a third of my health was from the cigar
I walked around looking for secrets and stuff a lot, and it was good time for getting my health back
Also the cigar doesn't force you to wait out the cooldown after a puff before you can switch weapons
errant carbon
Usually there's like, health items in the secrets though
amber sparrow
So arguably the cigar could be used during combat too
I actually have used it during combat
errant carbon
That's a big arguable lol
"Oh boy! 1 HP!"
Just kill the thing lol
No more health loss
Super Shotgun is my favorite I think
Then it's duel shotguns
errant carbon
The cigar is a flex, and it's ridiculous to say it's anything else
There is no use to it, really, the health gain is so insignificant compred to just grabbing some health items
amber sparrow
Also in endless sometimes I'm not firing anyway because I want the dudes to infight
And health is quite precious there
errant carbon
Thanks for moving the goal post lol
Yeah, I'm sure it's more useful in the place specifically designed for HP to be a precious resource
amber sparrow
The cooldown is just a few seconds and you can do whatever you want between puffs
Isn't Dusk supposed to be a resource management RPG?
Also I started playing without a crosshair and the cigar might be useful for lining up a shot
Could as well take a puff while doing that
amber sparrow
I like playing games in weird ways
jade root
I don’t think you even know what you said
errant carbon
Yeah I don't know why I engaged tbh
flint star

amber sparrow

I mean not the cigar part, that's real
errant carbon
Faceless?
jade root
The scientists
errant carbon
OH
jade root
You mean
errant carbon
They don't have a face?
errant carbon
Can somebody just throw a picture up for me
I don't wanna launch DUSK just to check
jade root
errant carbon
Oh yeah, that's not a face you're right
errant carbon
I think the scientists are my least favorite designs
I want to love them, but god they did not turn out how they should've
amber sparrow
I read on the wiki that they have a face but I refuse to believe
jade root
I forget they exists
amber sparrow
Enemies that primarily use melee always intimidate me more than those that have range
amber sparrow
That actually looks like somethin that'd be in the game
The thing with melee enemies is more that they are aggressive
And they can limit movement pretty well
It's not necessarily because of the fact that they use melee, it's more because of the other possible traits associated with melee enemies
Also perhaps it's partly because of me being a bit careless with them
Big damage

I cannot replay this game without dying 10 times as much as on my first try, on the same difficulty
I rush a lot this time, though. And I don't like dying
Also might have to do with me not having eaten anything all day pretty much
Random enemies kept noticing me through walls
Like, I don't remember a leatherneck running at me in Steamworks as soon as the map loads before I do anything
Fun part: One torch killed 3 scarecrows in 2 seconds
Unfun part: I figured out failed experiment does like 10x the normal damage and I hadn't saved
And afterwards the first fucker kept hitting my while none of my shots seemed to damage it

I think you're playing the singleplayer like the online? The campaign is slower, and the weapons have a different meta man
amber sparrow
I know. I have played through it once.
junior grotto
just got the intruder upgrade on gog
jade root
thx 4 the support
junior grotto
this soundtrack is so good I just had to support
jade root
david can buy another bag of rice with that
junior grotto
hey, a bag of rice is a bag of rice

Hi never use the internet again

IT'S MOUTH IS WIDE OPEN WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO SAY?!
magic dawn
Slippers
earnest cloud
I don't think they're even capable of hitting you
earnest cloud
Ah
earnest cloud
The horrors still get me everytime I play enter the darkness
magic dawn
Fucking same
flint star
are you talking about the blowjob zombies
earnest cloud
Yes
flint star
lol they are funny
earnest cloud
I mean yeah in the light they are
But when all you have is your pistols or shotties as a light source they are terrifying
flint star
no not really, guess i'm used to it
earnest cloud
Ah
amber sparrow
I found it funny
To me they felt like comic relief among the otherwise creepy stuff
earnest cloud
Yeah ok I can see that
amber sparrow
nuDoom's demons take turns attacking but Dusk's mages can and will throw 8 fireballs at you at once
I mean, I guess AI is probably not very easy to implement
worthy harness
How launch SDK?
When I launch it through the steam prompt, it just brings me to the main menu, but I have the addition of additional modding
amber sparrow
That's the sdk
worthy harness
Actually?
amber sparrow
Yes.

Doomsk life
flint star
playing Doosk, how do i stop the screen from distorting when i move it up and down? i never had this problem in gz doom.
jade root
your renderer is set to software
flint star
oh thank you
jade root
weird how that did it on its own tho
flint star
yeah and i imported my settings from my gz doom folder
jade root
ohwait are you using the gzdoom it came with?
god i fucking HATE that shit
its the main reason i havent touched DOOSK
because you gotta use some custom set up gzdoom
and its just a pain in the ass
flint star
@jade root no i got the latest version off the website of gz doom
flint star
and imported my GZdoom settings ini file
from the gz doom folder i used
but apparently that didn't work
jade root
oof that doom folder organization
flint star
where's your hdoom folder
anyways i'm gonna play the actual dusk
fun as hell doom mod
hope more comes from it
flint star
it's a god
is this what the cover is based on?
this is some kingdom hearts shit
is this a bug? i picked it up and the item is still there.
oh
there's 2
nvm

Sometimes you only take the ammo and not the gun
Or vice versa
If you had full ammo but not the gun

shush

i'm sitting on a few hundreds half life maps. this may prive interesting yet.
does blue shaft and opposing farce work too ?
jagged ferry
...you got halfway through episode 3 without knowing about strafe hopping
smh my head
magic dawn
how
flint star
i knew you can jump and strafe but i didn't know it speeds you up dramatically
magic dawn
I did not think it was possible to get that far without strafe hopping
So uh
Congrats?
jagged ferry
i mean i figured difficulty wise it was doable i just
how the fuck did you not realize sooner?
flint star
cause i am a lennie
prisma halo
@sturdy ermine Blue Shift and Opposing Force should work yeah
Well, Blue Shift won't immediately work since it has a different BSP version
You can use the Blue Shift: Unlocked patch to get regular format BSPs
magic dawn
Oh god
Don't tempt me to learn how to mod so I can put in the entirety of tony hawk's underground into dusk
flint star
fucking do it
jagged ferry
FUCKING DO IT. NO BALLS.
magic dawn
The ratio of effort to payoff is so fucked
jaunty lotus
so... what does the soap do
jade root
you throw it
at enemies
and it kills them
its a 1 hit kill on every living creature in the game
crimson folio
It also turns them into gibs.
jagged ferry
it does 1 million damage

I haven't played Dusk since the SDK dropped, but I played through the actual campaign in and out. Is there anything new I can look forward to if I boot up the game again?
Any like really good mods?
kind cypress
Dusk port
simple pilot
👌
amber sparrow
Pretty much the only switch I've found in the game that can't be activated by shooting says "Do not touch"
So it actually might be the only one in the game that you have to touch
The parts that run the worst in Dusk for me are the intro cinematics for the episodes. They get choppy.
jagged ferry
yeah those run at like 5 fps for me for seemingly no reason
amber sparrow
Now I expect to be able to climb up 89 degree slopes in every game
amber sparrow
Maybe playing without crosshair and with autoaim off is a bit too much for me.
It feels right, though.
halcyon ice
man, Dusk is god tier. I'm almost finished with it, just did Homecoming and it blew my tiny mind
icy lark
I just started playing this game and it’s my new fav
broken forge
what if you made a dusk mod for duck game and called it DUCK
solar olive
Playing dusk again, without secrets. Interesting experience so far, you can appreciate even more how well balanced is the whole thing.
balmy sluice
Without secrets should always be how its played the first time around imo
junior grotto
really?
because I naturally find quite a few secrets throughout the game without even noticing
or rather found
winged otter
without secrets and with intruder mode on
balmy sluice
Some of them sure, but I never go out of my way hunting for them.
junior grotto
that's fair
balmy sluice
First run is just "I wanna see what happens next!" I don't want to stay on a level for too long looking for things, especially on ep3
twin wadi
just found out about custom music. can you set custom music for original game tho?
balmy sluice
My 2nd run was my 100% run
jade root
ep1s balancing makes more sense when you skip secrets
junior grotto
I'm probably never gonna do an 100% run. even on intruder mode there's little reason to do so other than the badge of 100%.
jade root
still think we shouldnt have had all the weapon available in ep1 but w/e
junior grotto
yeah e1 is a bit easy unless you're doing duskmare
the only level I struggled with intruder mode ciero miedo in that episode is The Cutty Mines because I just cannot find many secrets in that level, and I found that level really starves the player of ammo otherwise
simple pilot
e1m2 is the biggest offender in terms of progression
amber sparrow
My first run is the good run and all the others after it are the "fuck this imma quit" runs
opaque spindle
man how do you get worse at a game
amber sparrow
On my first run I'm cautious and think because I have no idea what's about to happen
There were a few parts where I may have been a bit too cautious.
amber sparrow
Um right now I can think of two places with spinny blades.
But no, neither of them.
Actually, perhaps Erebus Reactor was the only part where I feel like I was a bit too cautious and it ended up being a bit boring.
I would usually lure the enemies out and then jump to the top of the arena where they couldn't reach me and shot them from there basically
Though I recently reran Episode One and I did pretty much the same thing on Sawdust
I utilise Duskdude's outstanding ability to run away a lot
The game has two weapons that are incredibly good at long range, and all enemies have bad range, so increasing the distance is rewarding
But even if the game didn't give me ammo for them I would probably just circle around the dudes to group them together so that they became manageable
And/or began infighting, which is always great.
In my yesterday's rerun of E1, I found out this is pretty satisfying to do on Dead of The Night right when the level begins, especially with the music.
And the map gives you the crossbow so making the things group up is extra rewarding.
Pretty much my only motivation for trying reruns is that I kind of want to do some HQ playthrough video. No commentary, loud music, pacing, pretending not to know everything about the maps so that it feels immersive, idk
jaunty lotus
but that would be pretty cool
amber sparrow
This game actually looks gorgeous and very crisp at 1080p without pixelation
I mean, pixelation is a cool option but the crispness comes across better at a proper resolution
I have a thing for rough edges
Maybe because of Quake aesthetics.
But Dusk actually has a pretty wide range of colors and it's tasty
earnest cloud
Yeah, what color scheme do you play on?
amber sparrow
I also use a "25% vivid" palette
amber sparrow
Wrote it as you asked lol
amber sparrow
I originally played on vivid but later I wanted to get closer to the default. And I still like a tiny bit of extra saturation so I kept 25%
earnest cloud
Ah, now I'm thinking doing a full playthrough on virtual blech
amber sparrow
That's very red
cerulean shard
Maybe I should continue my playthrough
amber sparrow
One thing that messes with me is that the sliders will set weird fractional values rather than pretty numbers
It displays 0.1 when it's actually 0.103
Or 0.103781 or something
earnest cloud
That doesn't effect it much though right?
I mean it should still be the same as .1
amber sparrow
It doesn't but it bothers me so I use the ini files
earnest cloud
Ah
