so since dusk has an arm build with the switch port you think we will ever see a way to compile the game for other arm based boards? requiring the original game files of corse
paper oyster
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/672884470?t=00h46m45s drummer blindly drums to endless
amber sparrow
sometimes discord just ignores big timestamps in embeds
crimson folio
Omg
So I have a mouse with a weighted scroll wheel
So when I spin it, the momentum keeps it going for a few seconds
And when I use it to swap weapons super fast the game drops fps
Its wacky
quasi granite
why would you want to switch weapons super fast?
woven elm
You ever see those supercuts of people doing next level shit in dusk or doom 16?
quasi granite
yep but they don't switch weapons that fast
and they don't use random weapons
they do strict combo
i do that myself sometimes
it's easy
just gotta bind weapons to different keys
for me Super shotgun in dusk is C
hunting rifle is R
crosbbow is V
mortar is F
amber sparrow
I only use number keys 1 to 4 for shotguns through hunting rifle
then XCV for crossbow-mortar-riveter, G for melees and T for pistol
0 for cigar, but my 0 is to the left of 1 so it's accessible
quasi granite
X is in a weird place for me
amber sparrow
It's super close to movement keys and I'm used to it
quasi granite
Well, normal place but hard to reach for my finger
tried it before and couldn't make it work
i use 1 for melee 2 - pistol 3 - shotgun 4 - rocket launcher 5 - assault rifle
quasi granite
use it if u like
amber sparrow
I can access each of the 10 slots without a stretch and that feels nice
quasi granite
i can too
exluding cigar but i never really use it
also i think that having binds like this is almost mandatory for cero miedo
before rebinding i stopped for like 1 sec to switch weapon and that resulted in me taking damage
amber sparrow
I don't get why the key to the left of 1 is a dev console access most of the time
I mean, I kind of get it, it's for devs
quasi granite
~ this?
amber sparrow
But it's a actual key gameplay stuff could be bound to
Yes but for me it's 0 and it doesn't trigger the console
The only way I can access the console in DUSK is if I switch input layout
quasi granite
don't you have this key in your keyboard?
amber sparrow
I don't, I have to switch to an English layout for that
quasi granite
where are you from then?
amber sparrow
Hungary
quasi granite
you guys have different alphabet?
amber sparrow
The 0 is there so that öüó can be grouped together conveniently to the right of the number row
Keyboards vary a whole lot
quasi granite
well we have 2 z variations and we use different key for them
amber sparrow
My keyboard has 35 different keys for 35 different letters
quasi granite
26 english letters + żźćńłóąę
crimson folio
i use scroll wheel
and bind important buttons to my mouse
when i played doom eternal i binded all the abilities to the mouse for easy acces
so i binded cigar to mouse 5 for maximum efficiency
quasi granite
you have this mouse with like 9 side buttons?
amber sparrow
I'm thinking of getting a mouse without any extra buttons
Just left click, right click, scroll wheel
crimson folio
Yeah I have a ton of side buttons
Its very useful
I feel more comfy with the mouse binds because of my position
Like the keyboard Is far away from my left arm so I rely on mouse buttons
spare cobalt
haha lol
morale is just your armor
you get more morale from sleeping on a bed or finding diamonds etc
lethal fog
Ah, thanks
spare cobalt
I had forgotten how confusing that actually is at first
lethal fog
Games a lotta fun and the soundtrack is epic
amber sparrow
@lethal fog morale absorbs half of the damage you take
On the two highest difficulties, it only absorbs a third while still draining by half of the total damage
crimson folio
Cero miedo? I did first playthrough on that and It took a while to finish
lethal fog
I felt the lower difficulty was a bit slower and easier
quasi granite
I did my first playthough on cero miedo too and i think that it is the best difficulty for ppl who are good in this kind of game
spare cobalt
iirc cero miedo has fastest enemy projectiles and movement speed and duskmare is just you die in one hit
lethal fog
If you haven't cummed when you used the super shotgun, are you even a true dusk player
amber sparrow
It's probably my least favorite weapon personally
amber sparrow
Or rather the dual pistols are
Yeah I like it too but I like the other weapons even more
However it's the best when you see a bunch of weak enemies spreaded across the middle of your screen
amber sparrow
Hunting rifle is the best
quasi granite
^
amber sparrow
I only ever use the SSG if I'm certain I'm going to clear out danger with the shot
amber sparrow
SSG is also good when combo'd into
amber sparrow
it's just probably the worst on its own
lethal fog
6*
amber sparrow
There are 8 ranged weapons
quasi granite
and 2 melee
amber sparrow
And 1 cigar
quasi granite
so E1M7
get prepared for episode 2
not going to spoil anything for you
but it is sick
lethal fog
Loving everything so far ngl
lethal fog
wait, are the soldiers and cultists working together?
jade root
The ones that are possessed, yeah
The ones on the gate level I like to think are the last of the non possessed military
quasi granite
gate level? which one is it?
lethal fog
idk how to explain, but yeah i asw them fighting

lean wren
Does anyone else have some set pieces they really liked?
void anchor
Escher labs is still one of my favourites
lean wren
Imo, that portal in Escher labs really got me my first play through
lean wren
I heard he improvised that lvl half way through development
void anchor
Yeah
The full discord message appears in civvie's episode 2 video
But it was something like
"I wanted to do a laboratory level, well, i didn't want to, but it felt like it was needed, but these levels are always boxed in, and very utilitarian, which didn't make for very fun gameplay, but then i had an idea, halfway through the level make it non-euclidian architecture, teisting and turning the level"
He also mentions that, if he had bought more assets for the level, instead of building them by himself, he wouldn't have had that idea
lean wren
Love when constraints make creativity
void anchor
Yeah
Like him having this idea to make the lab level interesting is what made the rest of episode 2 feel so special and unique
As he got an idea for what the rest of the episode should be
lean wren
Ikr, episode 2' set pieces are like on another level compared to episode 1
void anchor
Every episode is just so much better than the last
And keep in mind episode 1 is no slouch
lean wren
Feels odd, cus thats like the opposite with retro shooters ( or at least the ones I played)
Doom, quake, for instance
void anchor
They just tapered off after a while
I'm ready to stop playing doom 2 after like map 13
lean wren
Tbh, i never finished inferno
void anchor
It all blends together after a while
lean wren
Meanwhile dusk be like:
void anchor
Most maps are memorable in their own way
Even the ones that you can forget are still well designed and fun to play
lean wren
Only ones I'm never a fan of (and this goes with most fps I played) are the cramped dark ones
Except the one in nameless city, that was creepy
Btw, I'm pretty new to New Blood (finished dusk like a week ago) is there any other one I should try from their catalogue?
void anchor
Amid Evil is also excelent
Atmosphere of Hexen/Heretic, but way better, and with 100% less key-hunting
lean wren
Less key hunting? Are the levels more linear?
void anchor
Sort of
Way less maze-y
And with many more interesting set pieces
All the 7(!) episodes have very distinct feelings and atmosphere
lean wren
Cool.
void anchor
Maximum action is a playable John Wu movie
There's also Super Galaxy Squadron, haven't heard many people talk about it, but i've heard good things, space shoot-em up
Not very talked about probably because it's the least pimped out title from their catalog
Outside of those, you have the upcoming releases, they all have a demo free on steam
lean wren
Yeah, I heard the ultrakill demo is, well, killer
void anchor
Ultrakill is easily described by the meme domain Oshry bought for it, devil may quake
I've 100% it, it's that good
Gloomwood is a stealth sim inspired by the likes of Thief, but with less treasure hunting and more exploration
Faith is an interesting one
Horror game, inspired by the Satanism craze of the 80's
Artstyle is 8-bit, but doesn't feel like an NES game
It's somehow the scariest game i've played recently
lean wren
Damn, what kind of horror is it? Psychological, imagery, stress management, or jumpscare?
void anchor
More suspense
A demon does come out that could be considered a jumpscare, but it doesn't make a loud noise
It's the kind where it's dead silent, and the fear of what could be around in the next screen is what makes it scary
lean wren
Sounds a lot like a horror comic (turning a page can get pretty suspenseful)
void anchor
Something like that yeah
The demos are all free anyways, no point in not trying them out
lean wren
Damn, and just when I thought my backlog was packed enough due to the summer steam sale
void anchor
Yeah, suddenly i now have like a dozen games to play lol
lean wren
Imo, diversifying to prevent burn out was one of my objectives in the sale (bought dusk along with a 2d puzzle game)
rose remnant
Would totally recommend it if you can get it, just started playing today and god damn the movement is crazy satisfying
void anchor
There's a reason why Dusk is so revered
rose remnant
^^
void anchor
You think it's just some quake clone with blood influences, but then it pulls the rug out from under you
rose remnant
Literally does, it’s not something you can explain without playing it yourself
Immediately inspired me to open unity and try recreate the controls
kind narwhal
again no money
but I did have enough to buy quake
I never have explored this genre
I was more of a Nintendo guy
rose remnant
I didn’t play these games (apart from doom) when I was younger but they’re easy to get into and cheap enough to try most of the time
Great genre to throw yourself into

ep 1 and 2 are cool, but damn ep3 is the golden hits of dusk
so creepy, so beautiful
i loved how the final boss is basically "1v1 me in quake dm scrub"
uneven path
yeah that was something i wasnt expecting at all
a deathmatch against yourself basically
crimson folio
I like the second half of episode 2
It's so mystical and cool
Really surprising and creepy
fleet flame
Forgot the name of the level it's been a while since I played, but ||Episode 2, decending stairs with the creepy messages on the walls while the music builds up, then you get jumped by a wendigo. Didn't expect the game would try to creep me out. It felt like Doom 3 for a moment||

weird, registered to ask for help with a crashing issue, but i figured it out -- was crashing during fakedos "loading tunes". i switched audio device and fixed it

in fact doing anything while that screen is up will probably break things

i meant, it crashed if my usb amp was the active device, even if i wasn't doing anything while it was loading. switching to my speakers before launching made it stop crashing, and i'm able to switch back to headphones after it loads

trail olive
is dusk supposed to take 1.5 gigs of ram?
trail olive
if i install workshop mods do they load on boot too?
mild ginkgo
not in thhe same way no
basically its like 90% music that loads on boot
everything else is loaded normally
when its needed
including mods etc
trail olive
so if i were to delete the music from the game files it'd load much faster basically
trail olive
im gonna check that right now
sonic night
Does it crash
mild ginkgo
basically, without deleting music, dusk always takes ~1.5gb of ram
in the non sdk version that is
sonic night
I mean regardless it'll emotionally crash because of a lack of music
mild ginkgo
in the sdk version its about half that
trail olive
i cant seem to find it to delete it
mild ginkgo
yeah because its packaged
sonic night
Yeah the sdk version seems to be faster
Unity discourages snooping unless you crack it open yourself
mild ginkgo
thats because the sdk version doesnt load the same way
graceful wing
You'd need to unpack the game files
We can't help here as that would also allow you to extract said files
Google is your friend
trail olive
im just trying to reduce the amount of ram it uses up
mild ginkgo
having a game use between 1-2gb of ram is extremely typical in 2020

experiment is easy af if u learn that you ||can parry his orbs with sickles||

soap isn't even the best object in the game imo
the saw blade still kills every enemy in one hit, and it can bounce so you can get ricochet kills
its also way easier to pick up

how do you "kill an enemy by spinning your weapons"

lol there's no way quake could ever handle most of dusk's levels
jade root
You’d be surprised what quake engine can handle
You could probably remake most of the levels tbh
quasi granite
the spinning blades in The Infernal Machine could not be remade i think
jade root
Yeah there’s a few aesthetic things you couldn’t do
But I’m willing to bet you could remake 95% of dusk levels
quasi granite
probably
Quake engine can still do some crazy shit.
For proof see: Wrath Aeon of ruin
quasi granite
it's on modified quake engine iirc
jade root
its like saying Total Choas is a doom mod
its technically true but at the same time it mostly just a game made in GZDoom
quasi granite
true
it's like saying that TF|2 is on source
technically true but it's modified as fuck
thorn trout
Vanilla Quake engine couldn't handle a lot of Dusk levels because of how it did occlusion, afaik
That's probably changed on modern source ports tho?
I mean it's obviously changed in Darkplaces

Wait whats this about duskworld going f2p?

I learned that just now, apparently Dave teased it, and it was confirmed. It's probably due to the fact Duskworld is kinda dead, and F2P might be the solution, maybe having some rewards for people who owns Dusk like color naming/Duskdude/Big John Exclusive skins/skin coloring, and the game is fully free

Big question
Is the switch version of dusk going to allow the ability to use cheats
Like I was thinking there could be a option in the pause menu that could enable and disable them
Honestly I think it would make endless mode such a blast
I am really hopeing it's not going to just be a straight port of the pc version
If any of the devs could give any details that would be great because this could really make or break my purchase.
mild ginkgo
its not going to be just a straight port
its going to be tuned for the platform
in ways that make sense (gyro aiming, weapon wheel, etc)
jade tusk
Yoo gyro aiming
Sweet
Oh is the auto aim option going to be in the switch version also?
I'm guessing it will
Anyway is the whole cheats thing gonna to be scrapped or is there going to be another way of enabling it?
mild ginkgo
yes the auto aim will be an option
we'll likely have another way of enabling them, cheats are part of the game
itll either be a menu, or a button combo
mild ginkgo
not yet
jade tusk
Awww
Anyway absolutely adore the game guys
You did really great on it
Honestly best 20 I have spent in a while
Also absolutely love that you made strafe jumping a mechanic in the game
And you made it easier to do
mild ginkgo
truly and epic gamer

You know, if i could describe my perfect 2016 doom treatment for quake in one sentence, it would sound like this:
"I just want to fight some eldritch horrors with good gameplay for gods sake"
jagged ferry
so dusk
uneven path
Yeah
warped gate
man just described dusk lmao
uneven path
Yeah thats the lol part
I juat realized its dusk
Oh well
Back to playing dusk
Altough ID could slap some amazing graphics on it..

has anything happened with dusk in the past like 6 months
any cool mods i should check out
crimson folio
full sdk is coming 
i say just wait a few months until the coller mods start pumping out
as of now you can only change textures and make maps
reef pecan
ite
crimson folio
but the big john mod is amazing
reef pecan
unfortunately i was never able to get into mapmaking after many attempts with several different games
i think i have a pretty good grasp of game design and roughly how dusk should work though, i might eventually acquire the skills to make maps and try to put something together but probably not
crimson folio
Lets make those maps fellas
nimble umbra
i think a doom 2016 treatment of quake would have to focus on the MOOD of quake
quake is a game i view in heavily rose tinted glasses, but it sort of felt like a soothingly dark dream
i don't think i ever played a game whose corridors felt the same
mild chasm
I think that was kind of the intent, to be nightmare-esque
People just remember it being brown though 
uneven path
Quake shouldnt be remembered for being just brown
It had to be brown to feel like a nightmare
Quake is spooky, doom isnt
Thanks trent reznor
limber adder
Quake is overrated
Theres no denying it pioneered alot of shit
But its not a very good game imo
simple pilot
quake 2 was better
trail olive
i enjoy quake
i cant speak for quake 2 because ive never played it but quake 1 i thought was really solid
crimson folio
Quake 1 is a good game imo
And fun
Used to piss my pant a lot whenever i play it
twilit quest
dusk doesnt have nearly enough enemies that make me close the game like quake does
/ blood
blazing zodiac
Although those Wendigos caught me off guard like a bitch
twilit quest
there are a surprising amount of enemies that wont stop breathing god damnit
they're so loud
uneven path
i dont see a big john shirt new blood..

because the wendigo tee is fucking awesome
and it's not overtly specific but specific enough that fans will recognize it
humble lark
Hmm debating between the dusk cult tee and the wendigo tee......which to choose? :0
livid plume
The wendigo shirt starts invisible
humble lark
well nvm I had to choose fast since cult tee was selling fast, got it jsut in time 😄
*just
oof didn't know it made me invisible....will the cult tee make me shoot fireballs from my hands?

Cult tee is the coolest of the bunch imho

Shoot sorry about not posting this sooner
Let me make sure its not filled with many errors
I was going to screen cap it on Steam
My problem lies with it not going through
I can't seem to figure out why
Grrr
It seems like Steam has a small character limit
I'll keep figuring it out I guess and post it here in chunks
At first, I was in love with Dusk's fast-paced gameplay and heavy atmosphere. But as the game progresses I soon realized that for a game that takes heavy inspiration from titles of yesteryear it sure falls into a lot of pitfalls that are common among the genre's newest releases.
Releasing January 10th, 2018 as an early access title the game launched with two episodes. The third and final episode wasn't released until December 10th, 2018, the day in which the game ceased to be in early access. The game garnered a lot of praise and I don't want to take that away. What I do think however is that not all of it is justified.
My first problem with the game is the inconsistency in quality. We don't know how long it took them to develop the third episode but the 11 months between the early access build and the finished product that contained said 3rd episode seems like a good guess. Either way, however, I feel like it could have used more time in the oven. The levels within commonly would just throw more enemies at you to increase tension rather than placing them challenging locations and clusters. Multiple levels also reuse areas from prior. The game makes light of this and uses it to "taunt the player". This works as a nice moment of deja vu the first or second time but it got old fast. A great aspect of Dusk is how it continues to throw new things at the player. The third episode's main ace up its sleeve is the sword. Being able to slice and dice along with charging at enemies if your health is above 100 is a great layer to the weapon. Couple this with the power to block incoming attacks if your morale (armor) is above 50 and you have a quite versatile weapon that is great fun to use. That is if areas are designed around it. Sadly though besides the first level of episode 3, there are not many areas in which it becomes of good use especially because like I mentioned, this episode is fond of throwing hordes of enemies at you.

Woah woah woah cool it on the novel
uncut roost
This is a place for people to talk about Dusk yes? Is this a request by you or against some kind of guideline?
flat juniper
This isn't a place for your review on the game. If you have issues, cut them up into small quick bites
uncut roost
Well people seemed to be interested yesterday. I'm sorry to of wasted your time
flat juniper
Well you can post it if you manage to get it working. Did you make an actual review review?
Or did you just try posting it on the hub?
Didn't mean to come off as a jerk. Just that if you're going to talk about the game (or even your review), you can do without the entire thing which seems to be quite thorough.
Steam Reviews in my experience are limitless quite huge in length.
mild ginkgo
yeah we certainly had some fears about people disliking the reuse of some level pieces
but it was part of davids design, and we stand behind it, dusk wasnt rushed in any meaningful way, and we accomplished most of what we wanted to do with it
yes theres a LOT more we wouldve liked to have done, but at some point, the game needs to be finished
and im not really certain i agree with the "more enemies" sentiment, as episode 3 actually has some of the least populous levels in the game at times
if you refer to e3m9, thats level is very intentionally that way
if it gives you an idea, that level was originally called "Things Get Serious"
its meant as an homage to the design ideas serious sam offers
and while sam is quite flawed, we love it dearly
and yeah, youre pretty spot on with dusks design idea of always giving the player something new or different in ever level. They all have some sort of purpose
in ep3, thats magnified to the extreme
-sword level
-swimming combat
-horror meat level
-tornado
-gravity switching
-levels mashed together
-nonstop arena level
almost every level has a unique gimmick
and for some people, that makes it exhausting because they can never get comfortable
jagged ferry
tbh outside of e3m9 "The levels within commonly would just throw more enemies at you to increase tension rather than placing them [in, i'm assuming] challenging locations and clusters." is kind of just...wrong on its face, and even then e3m9's waves are very intentionally done
mild ginkgo
personally, yeah i think e3 is my least favorite as well, but i wouldnt say its because its of a lower quality , but rather i just really like ep1
