I had to specifically add limits after that to see if I could get a non identical palette
mild ginkgo
itd certainly be cool to release a proper dusk palette at some point
prisma halo
I need to experiment with some different approaches to generate a unique palette later too
including quake's palette might not be an issue after all too, so we could embed that if we want
narrow sigil
So I can just wait? 👀
mild ginkgo
yeah, zombie was making a tool for literally exactly what youre asking for
prisma halo
My intention was to create a palette that had the same ordering as Quake's, but using colours that appear in Dusk
So we could include that and not worry about legal issues
But it turns out that might not be an issue anyway
It'd be a waste to not release the tool though so I'm gonna tidy it up and dump it on github later
narrow sigil
You're awesome! I'll look forward to it.

Hello, Russian UI fonts got corrupted. Is there a workaround for that other, than using a different language?
simple pilot
like it was corrupted by update or what
raw osprey
I think so, but I haven't played the Russian version until about 2 updates ago.
The menu is fine, but the in-game UI is just squares
simple pilot
Validate
raw osprey
In progress
amber sparrow
So what about new translations? We created a Hungarian translation that's pretty much done, it's pretty much just the fonts that are messed up sometimes
crimson folio
I made a swedish translation before the update even came out and it's still not in sooo
slow harness
i made the ua and ru localizations, and i think the devs used companies to translate, although i'm not sure why would they put in ua localization since it's so unpopular
raw osprey
we need UA localization.
slow harness
it was very kind of devs to put in the ua localization
graceful wing
joke filter off: we're providing official translations for the most popular languages out there
the ability to edit subs is there primarily for languages that don't have official translations
slow harness
did you use the company to translate to ua?
graceful wing
i'm not personally responsible for the translations so i can't say for sure. russian was done through a localization service though
amber sparrow
I put a bunch of work into translating stuff to Hungarian and it's worthless? :/
graceful wing
of course not. you're always welcome to send translations our way and we'll also have support for them to be shared on the steam workshop etc
amber sparrow
I'm pretty much just polishing it at this point. Pun. I'm disguising it as a Polish translation to the game because most of the characters render fine with it
graceful wing
👍
send it over to dave@newblood.games when you're ready
and ye as i mentioned we'll have a more sensible method for porting translations in the future
amber sparrow
Some random things cannot be translated, I hope that will change sometime in the future.
Like boss names, the LEVEL COMPLETE text, and some other random things. Also some lines don't have subtitles in the first place. :/
graceful wing
yeah, we're hoping to improve on it as sdk dev progresses
graceful wing
it won't, but certain sdk features are required for us to do certain things with the game
the issues you mentioned above are some of them
amber sparrow
BTW the "red fish, dead fish" thing works because "hal" in Hungarian means both "dies" and "fish"

i found a way. for some reason, grates are counted as enemies, so when you attack them, it wont let you get pacifist. what you have to do instead is flip-melee them, which does not count as an attack.
heady lagoon
You mean reload melee?
jade root
its derived from xcom/similar crpgs where losing a character would force a reload, or known as "save scumming", rather then dealing with the consequences of your actions

Out of interest, is the Mac build of Dusk running in OpenGL or Metal?
(Does unity support metal for that matter?)

what are you confused about
Dusk runs in DX11 on Windows according to the logs
unless I'm getting mixed up with another unity shooter

perf wise or in general?
woven elm
hahaha good to know

we have actually
woven elm
doesn't the game ship a vulkan runtime at present?
mild ginkgo
sort of yes
i think youll run into some shader issues
but the game will run
in the future, when the SDK is open sourced youll have the option of building the game yourself to vulkan if you desire
mild ginkgo
unfortunately vulkan just isnt in a stable enough place to comfortably ship on
but for users willing to deal with that, the option will be there
woven elm
I'm glad it at least has an engine implementation for Unity
and a decent one at that
As far as I understand, building games for vulkan is stupidly cumbersome
something like 3K LoC to draw a triangle
mild ginkgo
it is, and importantly, the ecosystems available just arent ready for it yet
from drivers, to os, to external software
a great recent example, doom eternal
the steam overlay, for some users, would take as much as 40% performance, just for having it enabled
because it didnt like the way vulkan interfaced with memory
woven elm
huh, crazy. Do you know if that issue was specific to a graphics vendor?
like, whether it was nv or amd only
mild ginkgo
as far as i know it effected both, but i could be wrong there
woven elm
Never heard of that bug. Sounds rough.
mild ginkgo
its actually like insane
you can find users like this
80fps on low settings to 130 fps on ultra settings
just for disabling steam overlay
woven elm
jesus, fuck that
mild ginkgo
valve actually implemented a specific fix for it in a recent patch
but it just goes to show the number of things that can go wrong with vulkan in the ecosystem we've built up
it WILL get there, its just a matter of time
woven elm
That's true, though that's the only case I've seen of a vulkan game misbehaving so badly with an overlay enabled
mild ginkgo
yeah, id went very bleeding edge
and paid a price for it
if a developer as small as us did that, that could be the death of a product. we just wouldnt have the resources to move fast enough to appease customers, and sales and reviews would hurt as a result
and while we could do a safer, more stable implementation, not doing crazy shit like async compute, for now, it was easier to lean on more time tested apis
let the big boys work out the kinks, then reap the rewards
woven elm
understood
mild ginkgo
also i misspoke a bit
its technically no longer OSX
but old habits die hard
they call it "MacOS"

at least, thats what an angry mac user told me once

he mad cause he spent 1000 dollars on a low end

yeah they had to move away from version 10 eventually 😄
I don't mind getting work done on macs, but when they deprecated OpenGL / CL support I just stopped myself from getting invested into it any further.
woven elm
though I think I'll try dusk out on it out of morbid curiosity
mild ginkgo
uhh
one warning
the current build MAY have a bug
where the game launches at 10kx10k resolution
so just uhhh
woven elm
hahahahahaha
mild ginkgo
be on the lookout for that
mild ginkgo
i think its actually disabled on mac
woven elm
ah interesting

You're just hating the game because you are biased
There is no Horcux and no Santa, the game isn't even about that!
And the story is actually awesome so think before you type @crimson folio

The best part of Dusk's story was when Santa asked if I was a saint or grunch

the quake palette was only used as reference, the textures themselves aren't paletted

I can, but mainly when I'm looking for secrets.
topaz forge
too much call of duty i guess lmao
round quail

Zip zoom
Everything is so distinct in dusk
Just remember what locations connect to what
jade root
holy shit
torpid locust

topaz forge
i remember the factory area in episode 2
jade root
Yeah I really dunno what to say to that
topaz forge
i was going around in circles for 30 minutes
round quail
ohhhhhhhhhh
you mean the end
where you gotta walk back at the red door
yea i can see that
torpid locust
the first level of ep2?
topaz forge
yes
jade root
Did you get past that?
topaz forge
yes
jade root
And do any other level?
topaz forge
i finished episode 2
torpid locust
yeah when you get the last key you have to go back to the starting area
i wasted a bit of my time there too lol
topaz forge
i'm just bad
jade root
Yeah I dunno what to say
topaz forge
yea i feel i didn't give it time to get better unlike doom
i finished eternal twice in one sitting in 2 days
graceful wing
you'll get NG+ in the future
jade root
New game plus
topaz forge
i still have it
woven elm
I prefer 2016 to eternal anyway. It's a good game but I don't like feeling forced into arbitrary game mechanics
graceful wing
would recommend uninstalling it
topaz forge
i know
torpid locust
no program is worth destroying hardware over it lol
woven elm
sounds about right
fell like eternal fell off the face of the earth 2 weeks after launch
topaz forge
140 on doom like 9 on dusk
woven elm
well there's battlemode but fuck battlemode
torpid locust
Never played online
topaz forge
i played over 300 games
torpid locust
Look unfun so didn’t bother
topaz forge
i have an unhealthy obsesion with the new dooms idk
torpid locust
ye
topaz forge
2016 had deathmatch and it had original stuff in it
graceful wing
the new doom games are okay but nothing that would get me to polay them more than once
woven elm
deathmatch in 2016 got a lot better after launch imo
woven elm
hackers are a bit of a problem in 2016 rn
topaz forge
oh yea i remember
woven elm
and I'm not keen on loadouts vs pickup weapons like quake and dusk
but it's still a decent amount of fun to play
I wish there was a mode that disabled the demon power ups too but i guess that's part of the allure too
jade root
2016 deathmatch was the closest to halo mp we got until mcc on pc
topaz forge
i miss glory killing irl people on deathmatch
woven elm
same guys behind halo 4 MP, right?
torpid locust
I mean there is unofficial halo online mp and shit
woven elm
but we also had / have halo online
graceful wing
it was kinda better tbh
woven elm
yeah
graceful wing
since MCC on pc is aaaaawwful
torpid locust
ye
woven elm
original shaders and sandbox properties
topaz forge
i dont like halo sorry
woven elm
to each their own
that dusk game is alright, eh
my favourite part is the shooting aspect of it
🙃
graceful wing
halo is a pretty mixed bag
woven elm
4 and 5 don't count
graceful wing
some good stuff, some not so much
woven elm
and reach's multiplayer sandbox was a pain in the arse
torpid locust
Only the original trilogy is good tbh
topaz forge
but yea thanks for the nice conversation usually people will ignore others on discord
wheat prawn
@torpid locust ODST is the best Halo game
also Reach's Forge is fine what the fuck you mean
also yeah 4 and 5 aren't Halo
crimson folio
I think Reach had my favorite multiplayer.
Halo 3 was my favorite campaign.
wheat prawn
REACH had my least favorite multiplayer lol
crimson folio
I think I just hated 3's battle rifle.
wheat prawn
ODST is like literally
crimson folio
DMR was nice, but OP as fuck
wheat prawn
my favorite FPS of all time
crimson folio
Can't relate.
I played more custom games in reach and 3 than I ever spent in firefight or ODST campaign
wheat prawn
ODST's campaign is just fucking
magic
I enjoy Halo multiplayer but I prefer the campaigns
ODST > 2 > CE > 3 > REACH
stoic kelp
i cant enjoy reach's multiplayer when armor lock exists in some games
you got some dudes shields low and roll in for the melee and he gets an invincibility option to block that shit for a split second
some people will legitimately do this on social games like its the last mlg tournament of the fucking century
wheat prawn
i just think the way REACH plays doesn't work for multiplayer very well
stoic kelp
i dont think its that bad if theres no armor lock in the game
but if theres an option for it then theres always that one dickhead that uses it every single time hes about to die
active camo is also stupid because you can pretty much grab a sniper and camp somewhere without anyone able to find you
the other 3 armor abilities arent that bad its just those 2 that ruin it
crimson folio
Armor lock is annoying until everyone on the other team is using it.
I mostly played FFA and Swat for multiplayer so it was never a huge issue for me
idle wagon
CE is bad
woven elm
no u
stoic kelp
ce is fine if its just big maps like blood gulch and the game mode is ctf
if its slayer then the spawns work like complete ass
then again in almost all cases hopping in a vehicle will get you killed in about 10 seconds because of the magnum

The title certainly doesn't do this video any favors in being found, but I figured fellow Duskdudes and the devs would appreciate this.

Mist of rage from My Friend Pedro ost!

It doesn't fit imo

Its a good edit regaurdless
hot damn i need to play My Friend Pedro already
regal egret
i wish more games had complete camera control
so i could do flips everywhere
and probably break my neck
slow elbow
It isn't really a hard thing to impliment, and its super fun
first person flipping makes some people queezy tho
luckily ive never gotten motion sick
simple pilot
bloom and viewmodels
size is a turn-off imo
wind zodiac
The size and bloom really is a bit of a turn off but the editing is top-tier
And the music is so good with the visuals
This guy does a lot of really great videos like this
Plus some Eternal meme videos y'all have likely already seen
crimson folio
hi
is there any artwork out there of Duskdude?
a friend is asking cuz she's gonna try and draw him
queen coral
lots, you can see some on #newblood-art and others on the actual dusk comic
crimson folio
Yey. He sorta looks like a weird mix of ivan the space biker and caleb. Well, at least to me
queen coral
hatsu's done a piece or two methinks?

Dusk: The Official Movie when?
simple pilot
isnt Mandy, Dusk: The Official Movie?
safe vortex
The color palette seems similar. Lots of red tbh

I still havent seen mandy, but wanna
ill get around to it- i hear there’s a chainsaw fight scene lmao
round quail
mandy has goop drugs
dusk does not
incoming goop drug powerup in coop update confirmed
olive cloud
Just found this in the dusk files 😳
toxic rose
YEAH it's the man again
amber sparrow
It was to be in E3M8 but then they didn't put it in because it would have been weird I think
lucid trench
I was under the impression Shotgun Shells capped at 50?
simple pilot
you picked the second shotty
jagged ferry
yeah you can bump it over 50 by picking up a second lever when you're close to 50 shells
amber sparrow
I have tried it and it's not consistent, it's weird
Bye the way if you single-wield, the game seems to think you don't yet have a second one of the current weapon for some reason
jagged ferry
Oh yeah, it's big brain time.
amber sparrow
So it makes you dual-wield and you get the message "you picked up a second something"
Ugh... not sure how I should use quotation marks if a word is variable
But anyway, it does that and it's weird
Also I don't know if the ammo gets overfilled if you have full ammo and you acquire it for the first time
crimson folio
I wanna remove the last room in e3m5 please.
crimson folio
I did lol.
amber sparrow
I didn't really have a problem with it, except that the bone monks are fucking stupid
So they fly in weird places

Hey fellas, anyone able to point me in the direction of a good place for help on dusk straight up crashing on startup?
mild ginkgo
the steam forums are a good spot
if you have a legit crash
first quesiton i ask is, do you have citrix on your system
for some reason its just completely incompatible
and instantly crashes dusk
rare musk
what
mild ginkgo
yeah lol
rare musk
how does that even happen
rare musk
It's primarily like, a way ffor an organization to shunt programs out onto everyone's computers
mild ginkgo
i believe this is the bug
rare musk
not an actual vpn
mild ginkgo
but yeah, thats the only real hard crash we're aware of with dusk
theres some other ways but theyre almost always something obvious or trivial
swift silo
@mild ginkgo wow, that was spot on right away, I forgot I had Citrix from my old job. Thank you so much
normal salmon
cool dusk tip
if you have balls of steel you can bat a cowgirls rivets back with the sickles
is this smart? no. can you? totally.
crimson folio
I wonder if it's possible to deflect rivets in mp
mild ginkgo
I think the record is around 10 seconds
crimson folio
Yeah yeah I watched the record
Its about 8 sec
Same as doom e1m1 really
Hello :)
silk escarp
I'm having issues accessing the dusk sdk wiki, is it down?
mild ginkgo
possible
prisma halo
That'd be the third time within a few days, wtf
It must be those bots hammering the server or something
tardy slate
"those" bots?
the ones that spammed pages?
prisma halo
yeah
we enabled captcha and stuff to stop them
so they might be hammering the wiki with requests
tardy slate
a ddos basically or something
crimson folio
thanks zombie very cool

thx

I just noticed E1M2's kills and secrets are 66/6

i've been screwing around with e1m1 and noticed that there are two ways to jump off the map and both kill you
is this working as intended?

Yes

we must be getting ddosed or something

zombie said it's probably bots that kept spamming nonsense pages
would make sense since there is captcha now but not like they would just stop sending requests

lime peak
So I finished Dusk for the first time yesterday. I think it's one of the best shooters I've ever played.
lime peak
For sure
crimson folio
is it controversial to say that Dusk's super shotgun > Doom 2 super shotgun?
lime peak
Not at all
While the Doom 2 SSG is better at taking out large hoards of enemies
Dusk's SSG feels more impactful towards a single enemy
queen coral
I guess thats meant to keep some weapon rotation, I always switched to dual shotties for, say, black philip and cultist hoards
or for the AR when fights had some range
lime peak
There isn't much of a crowd to clear in Dusk
lime peak
I'd say 3, the Rats, the Scientists, and the soldiers
jade root
Rats are a specialty enemy imo
jade root
Also I would count goats as trash enemy
Anything that can die in one shot to the 1887s is a trash enemy in my book
lime peak
I forgot that Goats were a thing
jade root
I forgot about scientists lol
lime peak
I only remember them because of the horde of them in E3M9
tough marsh
beats E1 final boss on Cero Miedo: Alright, that was tough, but at least I'm over the hump for a while!
dies on E2M1 like 40 times over 3 days: ...shit.
tough marsh
Generally, not really. Mobs deal more damage, so clusters are harder to manage, but I can clear like one map per sitting now, so once you find a groove it's not bad.
I'm never gonna touch Duskmare, though, lol
lime peak
I'm assuming that Duskmare just causes enemies to respawn
lime peak
Oh fuck no
