Jesus H christ , I think thats easily my most popular tweet

noble bane
#

Is the Dusk sdk supposed to run slightly worse than the usual singleplayer?

hollow silo
#

Mine gets texture tearin all the time

#

I have no idea why

noble bane
#

For me, it just runs at half the framerate i get normally

hollow silo
#

or maybe its Z-fighting

#

big oof, are you playing on the standard levels?

noble bane
#

Yeah

#

I just had the model swaps

hollow silo
#

hmm

mild ginkgo
#

no in fact it should run better

hollow silo
#

Mine Definitely runs worse

noble bane
#

uh oh lmao

mild ginkgo
#

what graphics api are you using?

noble bane
#

Well I am playing on a laptop. I just thought it was weird since normal Dusk runs great

mild ginkgo
#

try -force-d3d11 as a launch option

#

that will likely make it run normally

noble bane
#

alright I'll try it

#

That worked, I get 60 fps again. There's still hiccups down to 0 every once in a while but i'll take it. Thanks!

mild ginkgo
#

the sdk is very much in an alpha state, any issues youre having will likely be ironed out

noble bane
#

I understand. I just thought my framerate getting cut in half was weird lol

open bridge
#

will the store page for DUSK go up before the release date or will it just shadow drop on that date? (talking about the switch port)

graceful wing
#

no idea. we haven't even planned this internally yet

open bridge
#

alrighty ill just check back in October

For some reason I cannot find it

BONE BOY I SWEAR TO GOD

plucky imp
#

Im planning on getting DUSK but one question... HOW POWERFUL AND SATISFYING IS IT TO USE THE SUPER SHOT GUN.

void anchor
#

It is amazing

#

Just right, will gib most enemies with a meat shot

plucky imp
#

Thank you now I shall go to waste.money and slay cultists.

thorn trout
#

Is David American yes

full vine
#

Wheres the fingerbones channel?

twilit birch
#

I really like the game but I think the super shotty feels inconsistent

full vine
#

How so?

twilit birch
#

sometimes gibbing 3 or more cultist at once who are at the other end of a long hallway, very often not gibbing at close range

#

and also very often needing to shoot a corpse 3 times at close range until it gibs

full vine
#

Word, so this is about gibs

abstract crater
#

hello boys and girls

#

is there a mod for wall hacks that reveal secrets? like xray from minecraft. but shows up all the secrets. so i can practice and learn where they all are?

full vine
#

Theres a bunch of guides and videos that say where all the secrets are

#

Then if you read them youll know where they are

#

And you can practice that

twilit birch
#

yes, I prefer my enemies in pieces ๐Ÿ˜‰

hollow silo
#

@abstract crater if you export the maps like I have, you can find them all pretty easily if you arent already familar

#

but there are lso many guides

full vine
#

Aside from the mega secrets, youre just looking for vents and off looking textures

hollow silo
#

Yeah, but I didnt know about the secret in the farms endless level until yesterday

#

I felt like such a dumbass grinding that shit on cero without it

full vine
#

๐Ÿ•

#

The real question is when is there going to be the Dusk ska mod

#

All of the hell yeah gunfight music is replaced with the reel big fish

hollow silo
#

lol thats already very doable

full vine
#

Perfect

#

Its a deal

twilit birch
#

is it possible to change weapon values like damage and spread?

hollow silo
#

I dunno, if you wanted to unpack and repack the game you could, but it would be far more effort than its worth

#

Other people have done things though, idk

twilit birch
#

just asking because that's what like to do in doom mods ๐Ÿ˜

#

sometimes just for stupid fun like making a pistol damage output ridiculous, sometimes just because I don't like how a weapon feels

full vine
#

They plan on adding that functionality to the SDK soon

hollow silo
#

yeah, I assumed it was gonna be around the corner for the SDK

twilit birch
#

hm, so I absolutely HAVE TO install gog galaxy to use the SDK?

full vine
#

Have you dug around the installation folder yet to see if theres anything cool

twilit birch
#

you asking me or Hermit?

full vine
#

@twilit birch you

twilit birch
#

just a bit, problem is I don't know much about how to handle unity

full vine
#

I mean it would be a .exe file and a data file. Im pretty sure it compiles only one way so you could t really get to the code unless you used a reverse engineering tool. If youre talking about just using unity in general it would just be the GUI for the software and either javascript or C# here and there

#

That stuff you could probably scan through and figure out what does what

#

Dusk used javascript im pretty sure or unityscript that is

#

Anyway get the sdk

hollow silo
#

I have the entire bitch just splayed in front of me rn actually

#

Just working with the code, there are many errors between asset packages that need to be worked out

#

im currently commeting out more or less the entire save system

prisma halo
#

you could probably delete all of the code and copy any non-UnityEngine dll files from the Managed folder into the project

#

and it'd work

#

I think

#

Looking at stock Dusk, it'd be everything except:

Boo.Lang.dll
Mono.Posix.dll
Mono.Security.dll
MoodkieSecurity.dll
mscorlib.dll
System.Configuration.dll
System.Core.dll
System.dll
System.Security.dll
System.Xml.dll
Unity.TextMeshPro.dll
UnityEngine.*Module.dll
UnityEngine.dll
UnityEngine.UI.dll
UnityScript.Lang.dll```
crimson folio
#

@abstract crater find ways to get out of bounds using cheats. If the map is inside, just press E on every wall then shoot it

#

or what hermit said

I am tempted to make a Pen Pineapple Apple Pen Joke

I haven't heard that name in 4 years

#

It still makes me crige

mild ginkgo
#

you could do a damage and spread mod pretty easily without repacking the whole game

slow harness
#

I am tempted to make a Pen Pineapple Apple Pen Joke
2017 called

mild ginkgo
#

youd just have to write a script that sets the values for the weapons

amber sparrow
#

I wanna play around with the numbers a lot

mild ginkgo
#

you could even do it with something as simple as cheatengine

waxen crag
lapis jetty
#

Wait is this an actual complaint or a meme

#

I'm not sure

waxen crag
#

I think it's real, I dunno

#

I just saw it

lapis jetty
#

oh

#

No clue then

crimson folio
#

"do you guys not have phones?"

spare cobalt
#

uhh?

#

how is that a meme

#

am I missing something here or is the joke "lol a mac user"

bleak socket
#

when the line between meme and a real problem is so blurry

charred blaze
#

I played dusk on my shitty MacBook Air the first time and everything worked fine aside from the game running like ass cuz Apple is fucking trash, dunno what heโ€™s talking about

mild ginkgo
#

i responded to him

#

we'll see

#

theres a bug in the mac version that can cause the game to try running at a 9999x9999 resolution

#

which will absolutely cause it to freeze or crash lmao

spare cobalt
#

it can cause what resolution jerry

#

how does that even happen lol

mild ginkgo
#

us rushing the build process :)

spare cobalt
#

lessons learned eh?

amber sparrow
#

I hope I can play with a vertical camera sometime though

#

For lols

mild ginkgo
#

you can

lapis jetty
#

I mean getting UE to potato mode was already a pain so I can see why you guys'd rush it

mild ginkgo

Dusk on smart fridge BIGJOHN

slate edge
#

snusk

amber sparrow
#

you can
@mild ginkgo I tried setting custom dimensions in the INI but when I launched the game it chose a different resolution by itself :/

mild ginkgo
#

hm, dunno what went wrong

#

but you can do it

amber sparrow
#

Maybe there's a lower limit for resolution?

mild ginkgo
#

dont think so

#

i mean, the ui will turn into garbage at a low enough res

#

so sort of

#

you can get it to run in some real stupid and broken resolutions

#

ah yes

#

this is how i play

amber sparrow
#

I can't

#

Reset itself again

#

From 500x1080

#

to native (1920x1080)

graceful wing
#

set the ini as read only

amber sparrow
#

As soon as I launch the game it forces the INI back

graceful wing
#

this will stop you from changing options in game though

mild ginkgo
#

just use steam launch options if youre having fs issues

#

-screen-width 500 -screen-height 1080

#

youll get the resolution you want

amber sparrow
#

oh yes

#

also maybe I was wrong and the INI wasn't even getting reset on launch

#

I guess steam did something

#

Anyway thanks

#

wait what

#

Stopped working when the title screen loaded :/

#

The loading was in the weird resolution I told steam to launch the game with, then it switched itself back

#

What's a man gotta do to play DUSK with a vertical camera

#

Ok set it to -windowed and it works lets goo

crimson folio
#

How tf is dusk capable of running HL and Quake maps?

amber sparrow
#

Looks like vertical camera gives a buncha additional vertical vision

crimson folio
#

@crimson folio Zombie magic

#

I hate zombie magic

hollow silo
#

@prisma halo at this point im just keeping it all simple, since all the values were preserved with the gameobjects then I can create skeleton scripts based off of the originals without too much error hunting

wind zodiac
#

500 really just stepped out there and announced DUSK Mobile

crimson folio
#

but he haven't even gotten dusk for switch out yet

wind zodiac
#

Switch port is cancelled. Cheap mobile apps is where the real moneyโ€™s at

quasi granite
#

You will have to replay a level 5 times to unlock the next one

#

Alternatively you can pay 5$

#

For 1 level

twilit quest
#

hmm yes

wind zodiac
#

If you watch 3 ads you can unlock the soap in each level

queen coral
#

ah yes finally found someone that also plays in 4:5

dEAsk

lapis jetty
#

Will Dusk 2 have a revolver and dual wield SSG like Blood

crimson folio
#

how do you dual wield ssg

#

i would want the tommy gun

#

tbh

twilit quest
#

is blood's double barrel even a real super shotgun?

oak pewter
#

You need to take out an entire group of enemies in one shot to be a ssg

twilit quest
#

i would think ssg would be the big bewm shotgun

#

both barrels at once

oak pewter
#

I need my shotgun to do rocket launcher levels of damage before I call it super lol

Hey david

I'm so fucking psyched for switch release!

Why not? Ultimately its good for the fanbase

I'd say do your part first but you've already done it

hollow silo

like the trailer said @slow harness

#

"This is only the beginning"

compact haven
#

I am with @woeful plover , sooo psyched for Dusk on Switch!!!

slow harness
#

Giving more money to new blood incentivises them to pump out more shit games

woeful plover
#

Well you're all Debbie Downers and I just wanna hear my voice hissing at you through shitty portable switch speakers

prime raft
#

Hey everybody. Bought Dusk on sale and finally started playing it this weekend. It's awesome.

#

Checked the multiplayer servers and didn't see much activity so I came on here to find people to deathmatch with

simple pilot
compact haven
#

Kinda of wondering why that person is even on here if he doesn't like New Blood games

simple pilot
#

also look up for saturday fragnights

compact haven
#

But hey, I'm sure a lot of people are excited for this game to show upmon the Switch

simple pilot
prime raft
#

@simple pilot Yeah I saw that. Just on here as an intro.

#

Thanks

#

And good to know

#

Does anybody on right now also play Amid Evil? I used to play Hexen/Heretic as a kid and would totally pick it up on sale if it's as good as Dusk is so far.

simple pilot
#

you always have 2 hours for refund if it dosent click with you

prime raft
#

Hah yeah it's true. And honestly its pre-sale price doesn't break the bank, so...

simple pilot
#

as for the game itself, if you have fetish for puzzle switches across the whole hub

#

you will be disappointed

prime raft
#

I mean, that's what I hated about Hexen/Heretic--well, hate is a strong word, but I didn't play them nearly as much as Doom/Quake

#

So if it lacks that drudgery then I'm in

#

I remember appreciating the hub concept a lot but disliking that its main use was just to make you backtrack endlessly

crimson folio
#

streaming DUSK on Cero Miedo in General vc

hollow silo
#

I dont think AE is that bad

#

I barely even paid attention to the hub

#
  • the game and enemy design is fucking gorgeous
prime raft
#

Awesome. I thought what varg was saying was that it didn't quite have the exact same hub mechanics as Hexen, but either way it doesn't matter that much to me, because I'm sure I'll give it a go at some point

hollow silo
#

Yeah, its just a cool level select as far as im concerned

#

no enemies or anything

#

Ive never 100% AE though, so I have no reference as to the puzzles in the hub lol

hoary gazelle
#

Gamers

#

I have did it.

#

dusk has been obtained.

void anchor
#

Conlaturates

#

Play on Cero Miedo

hoary gazelle
#

What is that.

void anchor
#

Second last difficulty

#

Normal is a bit too easy, and Cero Miedo is just right

hoary gazelle
#

Ah yes.

#

One step from hell.

#

Also, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk status.

#

A man of culture I see.

void anchor
#

Hell ye

#

No no. Beat it on duskmare.

#

Truly ascend.

#

I believe in u.

hoary gazelle
#

For my first time playing Dusk

#

oh that gets deleto'd.

#

Play on pain mode.

tawny tulip
#

I love how you get almost all the arsenal on the second level if you find that secret SENPAI

void anchor
#

Took quite a long time for me to find that secret lol

tawny tulip
#

||I stumbled upon the basket ball by pure chance||

void anchor
#

You know, i tried ||putting the basketball into the net|| on my first playthgouh

#

But i guess collision was weird and didn't register

tawny tulip
#

it is weird. just touching an object by walking sends it flying like you kicked it hard

dense vale
#

It's funny when that happens so it's excused

#

Like in doom eternal when you walk around barrels and you kick them across the map

shell arch
#

frens
i know you're tired hearing people asking about this, but...

#

is there any new info about the jolly cooperation mode ?

#

haven't been here in a long ass time

Starting episode 3 on Cero Miedo, let's go!

regal fossil
#

Aaaaaaaand... done!

void anchor
#

What did you think?

regal fossil
#

Way more fun than the easier difficulties

void anchor
#

Yeah when you actually need to try games are way more fun

regal fossil
#

Took a little adjustment, it's been a month since I finished E2

crimson folio
#

this game is fucking lit

regal fossil
#

Word

bleak socket
#

dusk is fun

#

even on duskmare

#

and.. i finished the game in only a week on duskmare, with intruder mode

#

gonna make it harder: death - back to the very beginning

regal fossil
#

I like hard games but that sounds like suffering lol

crimson folio
#

just died to a fucking giant horse

bleak socket
#

and it will be after i get every achievement

#

got the soap one finally

#

the completions next

#

nah wait

#

"true 100%"

crimson folio
#

what about the soap

#

i found one and flushed it on the toilet

#

thought it was a secret

bleak socket
#

you can flush it in any toilet

#

"don't drop it" - find and pick up soap on every level

#

form E1 to E3

#

with secret levels

#

one is the fucking worst

#

rats

regal fossil
#

lol I found none of the secret levels yet

bleak socket
#

good luck with that

#

finding them is not that hard if you look around more

crimson folio
#

also how am i suposed to know the combination of buttons to activate?

#

i just bruteforce them

bleak socket
#

well

#

yes

regal fossil
#

That's the idea lol

bleak socket
#

you just brute force them and then remember it

crimson folio
#

oh god

regal fossil
#

I don't even remember them XD

bleak socket
#

or you can brute force through them

#

it just works

regal fossil
#

BRUTE FORCE EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME

bleak socket

#

Like with everything else in the game BigThink

bleak socket
#

ayy

#

may i ask what difficulty you playing with?

crimson folio
#

i can take it

bleak socket
crimson folio
#

took me a while to fight the horses

bleak socket
#

you know you can get those pacifist and low tech stamps

#

i might do them after DM+IM+HR

#

mb on Cero Miedo

#

cuz on dm it's almost impossible

#

maybe

#

...

#

i want to find out if it's possible

#

BigThink but will it be worth it?

split salmon
#

im still surprised i havent gotten the soap achievement

#

sorta wish there was a way to tell what levels you got the soap in because i have no idea what level im missing

regal fossil
#

Play every level again to double check ๐Ÿ™ƒ

bleak socket
#

chonk ||secret ones are with soap||

#

had to play every level

#

check every corner

split salmon
#

I JUST BEAT THIS SUMBITCH FOR THE FIFTH TIME

bleak socket
#

clickity clackity mf

#

okay

split salmon
#

when i find this last soap bar imma stick it in davey's nose

bleak socket
#

||E1MS E2MS E3MS(fuck this one)||

split salmon
#

ratacombs soap wasnt too bad

#

so i know i got all the ones in episode 3

bleak socket
#

||you have to go through E1M1 till E3M10 but with with secret levels||

#

have you found one in foundry?

split salmon
#

i think i may have missed e2m2

#

or e2m1

#

i probably wont end up doing the endless stuff though

bleak socket
#

go beat the game one more time

split salmon
#

imma just use level select

bleak socket
#

fair

bleak socket
#

he gon git it

split salmon
#

it was e2m9

bleak socket
#

HE GOT IT FELLAS

split salmon
#

didnt see it next to the secret teleporter

bleak socket
#

well, you got it in the end

split salmon
#

am now worthy

bleak socket
#

w o r t h y

#

for true 100% achievements

#

you have to become

#

UNWORTHY

split salmon
#

nah all i got left is the endless stuff

#

which i wont do

bleak socket
#

boring?

split salmon
#

ye :/

#

between this and full 100% AE achievements this has been a good week for me

crimson folio
#

just put it on easy and get to round 20

#

you gotta get 100 percent

#

you're so close

chilly sparrow
#

I love my dusk on accessible

#

I'm mostly fan of the movement and sound effects

#

Not ripping my ass apart

amber sparrow
#

That's good too

red lion
#

I love how the whole story of Dusk is ambiguous most of the time and leaves the player to fill in the blanks

#

But at the end, doesnโ€™t Dusk Dude just ||become a literal god?||

#

Gotta say, I wish more FPS games ended like that

bleak socket
#

main character becomes the one who is worthy

#

but

#

in the end

#

you are worthy

red lion
#

I always saw it as your player is ascending to the next level

#

You literally ||take a portion of an Outer Godโ€™s power||

#

That has got to be at least ||Cthluhu|| level of power

#

Albeit brainwashed with that power, but still

split salmon
#

The story is literally Dusk Dude becoming worthy of being a badass FPS protagonist

#

the judge of that being Caleb

willow drum
#

||Dusk Dude probably isnt anywhere near cthulhu levels. Given how the only precedent for him is Jakob who was defeated by dusk dude with conventional weaponry., he probably has a similar level of power. Strong, but able to be destroyed by mortal means.||

crimson folio
#

||dusk dude as final boss in the sequel?||

willow drum
#

||Yeah seems like good setup. Dusk dude, except he's been stripped of his free will and subject to unknowable horrors, begging for death in between insane gibberings and wrathful screaming||

hollow silo
#

I think thatd be a great AE cross -in

#

have the champion be called to defeat a new great evil on earth

crimson folio
hollow silo
#

though, if you think about it

#

the champion is the kinda guy who kill nyarlothep on a bad day

#

like, even the first coupla bosses in AE are on a significantly different power scale to DUSK

hoary gazelle
#

I'm not gonna lie.

#

I kinda hate how easy it is to get lost in this game.

crimson folio
#

You're not the first person to say that, but I can't relate. Which levels specifically do you get lost in?

hoary gazelle
#

Anything level that requires me to have my flashlight on in small corridors.

void anchor
#

I did get lost a lot in the level that introduces the horrors

crimson folio
#

Ah
Yeah I suppose that can get a person turned around rather easily.
Have you tried treating it like a maze and hugging a wall?

void anchor
#

But i was also secret hunting a lot so that didn't help

crimson folio
#

I did get lost secret hunting on a few levels

hoary gazelle
#

I just kind of ran around like a child who just drunk expresso until I made progress.

jade root
#

I donโ€™t really understand getting lost tbh

#

Lot of the levels usually have good land marks to orient yourself

#

Unless you are talking about cutty mines

#

Cause you are supposed to get lost there

mental horizon
#

wait

#

you're SUPPOSED to get lost in cutty mines?

jade root
#

Yes thatโ€™s the intention

ebon radish
#

city of shadows messed with me for a while

muted jolt
#

Mine was the cutty mines, and where the horrors shows

wind zodiac
#

I get lost in Crypt of the Flesh too often

crimson folio
#

i just finshed it completely

#

this games fucking insane

regal fossil
#

My first time through, Crypt of the Flesh was my level to get lost on

#

I somehow missed the switch that opens the alcove

left valley
#

yall should i get The Darker Stage Of Twilight

#

I know the story already

#

and it looks super fun

#

i just dont know if i should get it or replay the games i already have lol

crimson folio
#

I want to live in the neobabel

bleak socket
#

remember when i said something about DM pacifist low tech?

#

it's possible

#

but

#

without hard reset

#

with one it's fucking nightmareDACON

crimson folio
#

Hey I need help

#

I open dusk and I canโ€™t click on anything on single player

#

Multiplayer works for some reason but not single player

#

And then when I load it up again it turns into an Asian language

#

Reinstalling doesnโ€™t help either

#

I got it from GOG by the way

#

If that helps

mild ginkgo
#

for one, make sure you dont have any controllers plugged in

#

but to fix the chinese, open up the dusk.ini in the config folder and set your language to 0

sonic night
#

Dusk has a Chinese translation?

void anchor
#

yeah, has translations for a bunch of languages

broken forge
#

what about

Yo guys what was ur favourite level on dusk?

#

Mine was crypt of the flesh, because it feels like it isn't dusk like its a horror game or something

#

i like the voices "the closer they got, the more they suffered.."

#

Also i love dusk level it was full of "surprises"

#

Like who is ||jacob and nyrliatothep||

#

What is yours?

It was the first "oh fuck" moment in dusk

#

Aren't u a trial mod

#

What happened

#

I'm not a trial mod anymore

#

now I'm just a gamer

amber sparrow

because muffins fucked up on his duty and was chosen to become the new mod

#

@crimson folio possibly my fav mission in that act

#

either that or "Unseen"

bleak socket
#

i hatefully love "Erberus Factory"

mental horizon
#

my. all time favorite level has to be blasphemy

#

as above so below, city of shadows, brimstone ghetto, and ghost town all tie in second

#

and basically everything else ties third. because i love this game

#

||yes. even the ratacombs. fuck the ratacombs. having to scythes-only ratacombs just for that low-tech achievement was hell, and i wanna have a firm talk with whatever inspired david to create ratacombs||

#

but it was funny

bleak socket

balmy sluice
#

Its a toss up between The Infernal Machine and Brimstone Ghetto for me

mental horizon
#

I COMPLETELY forgot about brimstone ghetto Argh

#

just slide that into second rq

#

infernal machine is a great level but those clostrophobic corridors at the start with those welders is Pain

#

i intruder mode'd episode 2 today on cero miedo, and my first couple deaths were to those welders at the start

#

||and that ambush when you turn off the spinny bits is Rough, even without intruder mode||

balmy sluice
#

Im a fan of the harder levels though

#

the wide open levels are fun, but they are too easy to cheese imo

cold bay
#

yaknow you could have just done the blue key secret and finish the level in like 20 seconds without killing anthing

mental horizon
#

i think you're thinking of old religion

*for the Ratacombs

#

thats the baby way tho

still scythed like half the rats though

#

Go for the every badge duskmare challenge on e3ms

#

Ah boy

#

Especially when I wanted to get all achievements, and fully complete every challenge

amber sparrow
#

I like to cheese things

#

It's fun

#

Sometimes

#

Not always

mental horizon
#

i.e. taking a smoke break while the last cart dog is in the crystal of madness gas in endless

amber sparrow
#

Endless mode for me is all about cheese

#

Just trying to figure out the easiest way to stay alive

#

Jumping around in circles at full speed on the cathedral map, getting shit to infight while I smoke my cigar and occasionally jump off the edge to further decrease exposure

crimson folio
#

You get a backpack of ammo every round in cathedral endless

amber sparrow
#

What little damage I take that way is pretty much recovered from potions and the cigar

crimson folio
#

Infinite riveter ammo

amber sparrow
#

Yeah

crimson folio
#

Yeah cigar is so good when health packs dont exist

amber sparrow
#

I actually really like that it's cheesable

crimson folio
#

Just leave the last bone ball alive while spamming mouse 1

#

It ain't the same in farm tho

#

Less ammo and way closer spaces

#

Less time for cigar and spam

amber sparrow
#

that's why i'd only ever play on the cathedral

crimson folio
#

I'm not even gonna talk about factory

#

Although the map itself is cool

#

The spaces are way too tight

And everything has projectiles

Hey @mild ginkgo , just a randow question, but how is the Switch compared to other consoles? Is it easy to develop/port games for? What has been the biggest challenge so far?

mild ginkgo
#

i would say that its fairly easy, the biggest challenge is compliance with nintendos standards

compact haven
#

That's cool. I was just wondering. So what standards are you talking about it? And thanks. I am very eager to play this game. Any game with killer scarecrows, or scarecrows in general has got to be good!!!

mild ginkgo

they have a lot, from little things like grammar/language of referring to their console and controllers, to more complicated things like memory write frequency

Interesting, never knew that kind of stuff. Not very computer savy here. Thanks for answering

grammar?

tawny tulip

I guess to make sure your game doesn't say "Joycock" or something lmao

But I also wouldn't really compare dusk to quake in the first place, honestly has more similarities to doom imo in terms of how it plays with some lite build engine/interactive sim elements.

void anchor
#

It's like comparing Gloomwood and Thief

They have some similarities, but they're too different to really compare

woeful sonnet

I don't really like the idea of selling a game off of what you can compare it to anyways, especially with a game like dusk or gloomwood, I feel like drawing attention to the similarities only really does these games a disservice.

#

Okay folks, I've got myself a partial theory on Dusk's plot, at least my interpretation of it. I haven't properly analyzed all three chapters, but this is what I've got so far. Spoilers, duh.
||DuskDude is dying or is dead, and as reality gradually fractures and crumbles around him, he further approaches death, or if already dead, he further approaches hell or something, both of which are the game's ending. He was given the illusion of power and agency through the game, and through the first chapter may genuinely have had it, but upon reaching chapter two, it became less of a journey of him fighting evil, and more that he was being led along by a mix of Jakob and Nyar, and DuskDude's own bloodlust. While he repeatedly expresses a desire to end whatever evil is afoot, it's never out of empathy for those lost, or wanting to keep the world safe, only that he's started something he refuses to stop. You repeatedly have to completely disobey warnings and instructions written on walls, such as "don't release it" or "dont go into the ruins" etc. This along with the "can't turn back now" message, tell me that the DuskDude is either simply going through with, or actively facing pennance for, his inability to abandon his pursuit, out of stubbornness or hubris. I'm still not entirely sure where his wife and child dying in a house fire comes into it, but it may have been another consequence of these attitudes in his past. Perhaps it was the catalyst to this behaviour. All the over-the-top horror stuff he's facing is set dressing, giving him what he wants and luring him into indulging in morally black and white bloodshed, so he can be the hero. Nyarlathotep, as in the original HPL stories, is mocking DuskDude and his bloodlust. Perhaps he was captured by Nyar's followers and killed on meathooks in the opening, and was tormented from there, hence putting yourself back on the hooks late in chapter three, and reaching a properly ethereal realm from there.|| Feedback is welcome!

#

Wow

#

I've just read that whole text, and...

#

DuskDude is dying or is dead
stopped reading right there not another fucking "hur dur it's all just a dream" theory

#

I actually love it

#

Not my best analytical work, but yeah.
It's not "all just a dream," it's his pennance for his past actions.

#

That's my theory, at least.

#

And thank you FitMC

#

I have never seen the whole history of Dusk from this angle.

#

Everything I remember from playing the game feels somehow completely different now.

#

You made me want to play through the whole Dusk campaign again.

#

Thanks a lot.

#

I have another more obvious theory where DuskDude is actually punching through reality to fight evil but is just being lead along on the fights as trials to become Nyarlathotep's new champion, but I figured I'd try and look beyond the surface level story

#

This involved reading the wikipedia page on nyarlathotep lmao

#

You're welcome @crimson folio !

olive cloud
#

@crimson folio pretty useless to try and explain lore in a Lovecraftian game

jade root
#

lol

crimson folio
#

That is a fucking amazing point

#

I have another more obvious theory where DuskDude is actually punching through reality to fight evil but is just being lead along on the fights as trials to become Nyarlathotep's new champion, but I figured I'd try and look beyond the surface level story
@crimson folio Can you please tell me about this one as well?

olive cloud
#

Even tho ||he gains unlimited power at the end||

crimson folio
#

Yes, but he having unlimited power is just part of the dream as well.

#

||True, but he loses any semblance of humanity, basically becoming a walking avatar for this malign god||

#

Also, that theory is more just based off the dialogue and stuff you get from narration and how fights/set pieces are staged as the game goes on

olive cloud
#

nah

crimson folio
#

I consider it to sort of be a surface-level thing that serves as a foundation for lots of more vague and interpretive themes and narrative elements.

olive cloud
#

it's just a good old lovecraft inspired story

#

there is no deeper meaning

#

and humanity is powerless

crimson folio
#

That's true. Lovecraft's stories did have themes and deeper meanings, but they were all "i hate black people" because howard was cartoonishly racist

olive cloud
#

XD

jade root
#

leeeeeeeeeets not get into that

crimson folio
#

I agree

#

Racism isn't fun.

#

Fair enough. But yeah the goal with this was to see what I could assemble with the bits and pieces given by the game, rather than trying to actually find what the game was "really trying to say"

#

It's like having a whole bunch of lego with no isntructions and seeing if you can build something cool with them.

#

It can be a fun writing exercise for learning more about narrative depth and how to both interact with vague narrative elements, and how to better incorprate them into one's own work.

#

I'm absolutely on my writer's bullshit again lmao, sorry everyone

#

It's fine.

olive cloud
#

i mean there is no reason for him to just stop midway through. That doens't really happen in ANY story

crimson folio
#

That's a good point

olive cloud
#

much less any story in an oldschool shooter

#

where literally all you do is go from one level to the next

crimson folio
#

That's like Doom Slayer saving 99% of the world but suddenly stops and lets the Demons continue their thing.

olive cloud
#

no

crimson folio
#

There's definitely multiple holes in my theory lmao

olive cloud
#

it's a bit different

#

yea but if somebody wanted to tell that kind of story it would work well as a video game

#

tying in the moving on to the next level thing

#

idk

#

it's a cool interpretation as long as you don't consider it gospel

crimson folio
#

Agreed. I mean, if somebody wanted to tell the kind of story where somebody wants to stop fighting and didnt fuck it up, a lot of the action throughout the game could come as a result of fighting upstream to escape a larger-scale conflict

#

Yeah, it's deffo not gospel lmao

olive cloud
#

i guess it kind of is an interesting punishment

#

||getting possesed by Narl. He tried to put an end to Jakob and ultimately made Nyarlathothep stronger ||

#

getting back to the "can't stop" thing

crimson folio
#

Yeah, I thought it'd be one of those monkey's paw type punishments where it ultimately ends with "but this is what you wanted, right?" with getting ||unlimited power but being possessed. With my theory, I'm guessing that Jakob was being punished in a very similar way and put through similar trials, but as Nyar found the duskdude, he just changed how he used Jakob before it wound up making Jakob its avatar thingy, as in the end screen the DuskDude has all the bright sparkling energy coming off of/out from him, whereas Jakob only ever interacted with it||

#

||Even the whole journey could be that kind of punishment, where he gets his "rhiteous bloodshed" and growing power, but at the cost of him becoming gradually more worn down and tormented by the environment around him and the challenges facing him.||

summer epoch
#

oh this is not unf space

Anyway, it's always fun to talk about narrative stuff and storytelling, if anyone wants to chat about dusk or just storytelling in general you can hmu in DMs, for now I'm gonna go grab dinner

muted jolt
#

Hmm

muted jolt
#

I prefer the story that || he is just a old man that lived on Dusk. He went away from them for something of his past. But don't trink is a evil stuff he did, just mostly not the rigth thing. Come backs after hearing rumors of kidnapings and military going crazy on Dusk.

He is atacked and atraped by the cult, but his experence as a gunman make him push forward to set him free. Episode 1 it's just him trying to escape the cult, and trying to learn what it's happening.After the creations he fougth, he beliveve he have the power to stop the evil deeds at least in the City. So instead of just escaping on the city, he push forward the industrial place, and maybe be a little crazy after the super hot serum and crazyness of E2M5 (The hospital, don't remember the name at the moment). Im sure he never expected being this crazy and demonic, so he still goes forward. He found the tower of babel and opens the portal of flesh and bones, and he become more in touch with this demonic power. After defeting the Guardian of the portal, he knows the only way to stop is killing whatever is inside that place. So he goes to Ep.3 learn about more diabotical creatures and places, like the catredal, the horrors place and more. Figthing the place, Jakob places him in a teleporter to make him go home again (Hellish Grotto and Homecoming) where he see what happened with the Dusk (and Earth?) when he was figthing elsewhere. He catch another teleport where is all messy, rare and bizzare, and he accepts, that the only way to figth this, is on they terms, and he sacrifices himself, not as suicide, but as a sacrifice. He hold as a green electric soul (like the one that Jakob have in the figthing) figth the hordes of enemies that make him worthy in the eyes of Jakob,as if he was receiving orders of other being for test him.

He exit victorius and he enters in what i call, the Jakob place, where he lived before the cult. Colect the runes, figth him and become the new leader||

|| But don't have interest of have that power for the cult, but himself as is a dangerous power, and so Nyachalop confronts him and test him in they terms, but more like playing as he likes him better, the figth end with Nyachalop knowing that DuskDude is something powerful and grab him as their warrior or leader as was Jakob. Maybe the best if he don't use his power as malicius as Jakob||

That's my headcannon, and something that im doing from my lore video โค๏ธ

#

Spoilers of the details of the story obysly

#

but also @crimson folio nice take in the middle of your theory with || the guilt and push forward actictud of the duskdude, and yeah, im pretty sure he is dead after e3m8 but only lives by the demonic power, that it's shows that it's was recolecting the city for powering the demonic stuff or something||

In my theory, ||his family was killed in the house fire and left him scarred in his memories. And the military involvement could be the part of the private corporate working with the cults in the desolate area.||

The one thing we really have down solidly is that his fam died in a house fire

@cursive spoke ||the comic show some military that are like figthing the cult, and cleaning the city and the cult of Jakob just posses some of them, (the more weak's in mind?) and they betrey their partners||

Comic?

There's a comic?

Yup

Fuck, there's lore I'm missing that I could've factored into my analysis

Thanks

This comic was narrated by Jakob and Nyarlathotep

crimson folio

Awesome

And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished, for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare.

always thought duskdude had nothing to do with the town of dusk, just had a troubled past and was treasure hunting as a means of making money
military were the ones who started the excavations which then led to the town being possessed, to which the military put up a wall to contain everything (which fails)

Dusk is the true Lovecraftian inspired game.

I'm honestly really curious on what David would think of my interpretation. Not gonna pester him with it, though.

cursive spoke
#

The messed up thing in the second episode and third episode is straight-up to 11.

crimson folio
#

Ah shit yeah, good point Jabronii. I want to change my theories to factor in the military stuff a lot more, since it was such a big part of chapter 2

|| Inocents are dead. they are converted in meat with green energy, enemies via posession, but being part of the cowgirl that would take a meaninng a they screaming what have you done! ||

#

Which mean those cowgirls WAS accused to Dusk Dude or those scientists?

jade root
#

cowgirls were just an expirement

#

sames the, yknow, expirement

#

Also, that huge wall with the gate is such a fucking good setpiece, I've talked about in on stream in the past, but it has such fucking amazing atmosphere and wordless storytelling, I'm going to try not to go off on it now but its so fuckin good

jade root
#

the gate is cool yeah

#

shows how bad everything has gotten

#

because the gate is like

#

e1m7

crimson folio
#

Also yeah, it seems like the cult lead by jakob was seperate from the military and scientists pursuing stuff, but then the two merge together

#

Yeah, I think so

jade root
#

so most of e1 is outside of the containment zone

#

shit really hit the fan

#

do you trink ghost town was the point zero of the Jakobcult attack?

jade root
#

no

#

point zero was the dig likely

that where the only functioning portal is

its clear the military had a handle on things at one point

#

Don't fail to see Nyarlathotep if he comes to Providence. He is horrible โ€” horrible beyond anything you can imagine โ€” but wonderful. He haunts one for hours afterward. I am still shuddering at what he showed.

crimson folio
#

I think The Dig may have been ground zero as well, considering theres a bunch of dead soldiers there

#

Fuck, this is all making me want to go through the game again and do a second and more in-depth analysis, it wouldnt be able to fit in discord's character limit though lmao

cursive spoke
#

And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods โ€” the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.

#

I feel this is the true boss in Dusk

#

And the voice at the end of credit...

crimson folio
#

I mean, he literally is

#

anyway, I've got food to eat, I fuckin love narrative discussions but my noodles are gonna get cold if I don't cut myself off lmao

Pray, that you never meet me in my thousand other forms.

#

The boss goes by the name: The Haunter of The Dark, The Crawling Chaos, and The Dweller In Darkness

That is the another name of Nyarlathotep

There are a lots of names to describe this loathsome being.

In the words of david (the guy who made the game) "ah I put this in because it looks cool"

#

Isnt that the point of making games

#

Pretty much

#

I dont get it

#

Why bringing it up

#

Your theory could be correct

#

But that is what david said

#

Yeah but whats wrong about it

#

the theory?

#

what?

#

??

#

you said he put something in because he thought someting is cool

#

but

#

why is that bad

#

Oh I thought you asked me if the theory was bad
