How well does Dusk perform on low-end systems? I have a 2018 MacBook Air and I'm not really ina . position to go out and buy a whole new PC just to play boomer shooters

my pc is pretty shit but it runs alright

i wouldnt suggest getting it for a macbook air
it can probably run
but i doubt it would be a super great experience
that said i havent tried it, but gut feeling

Yeah, I mean my MacBook runs things like Spearmint Quake 3 alright but I'd assume this is a bit more demanding than that
I guess I'll just have to wait for the console ports, hope it comes out on XBox One

Ok so I beat dusk at the easiest difficulty
Is there different endings based on the difficulty you choose?
amber sparrow
no
haughty sky
Is there a different variation of the final boss fight or something different in the endgame?
That's odd
amber sparrow
no difference
difficulty only changes enemy speed and damage
even cheats don't have an effect
you can go through the game with god mode and infinite ammo and get every achievement if you want to
haughty sky
Have you completed the game too?
amber sparrow
yes
haughty sky
yeah cause you hear the final boss say something like
||"this is one of my many forms"|| something like that
So I thought "Maybe it'll be different on another difficulty"
blazing bridge
This is my five hundreth form hahahHHahahHAh
amber sparrow
That's just a reference to him being a shapeshifter in literature
I've read that the tornado was a form of him or something
Maybe the soap is too 🤔

"It's just... me."

Soap picks itself up and throws itself at dusk dude gibbing him instantly

The way I see it, the game has been out for a while. If someone is in this channel, they are assuming the risk.

in that case
im a sucker for mirror fights so seeing jakob move like how duskdude moves was fuckin cool
oh and uh does duskdude have an official look
like a model or something
wait is it pinned somewhere?

no i dont think so

Other than the image of him at the very end and his look in the comic, that's about as official as you'll get.
balmy sluice

You get it with the intruder edition?

no i didnt

Its just a non-canon comic following the majority of the events in the game.

dual wield is kinda meh if you think about it
dual wield is very i walk around with one weapon out

Dual wielding is like a guitar solo. It's nice but it takes away to much attention and can be pretentious if you do it badly

what
wispy quiver
I wanted to ask that too
I personally think it’s a cut boss fight from the game where you would originally fight the experiment
crimson folio
I wouldnt be so confused by it if the viewmodel wasnt there
wispy quiver
He’s playing on intruder mode 😂
jade root
Lmao
crimson folio
Like it's directly in front of the camera doing a roaring animation. The camera is not moving. Its a close up shot. The sickle viewmodel being there is just strange.
Im not expecting an explanation i just wanted to point that out
wispy quiver
After watching it I can get what you mean, I still think it was just a short demo to show off the experiment maybe. Idk i didn’t make goty 2018.
crimson folio
Probably just couldnt make the viewmodel invisible for some reason
Also i found this tweet
prisma cypress

maybe not pixelization but man bloom light flares and bilinear, just no, no

It looks nice in 🅱️loomwood
tawdry estuary
Honest question: what’s the deal with bilinear filtering? I profess to being completely ignorant on the subject
crimson folio
looks weird in dusk
void anchor
Bilinear filtering fucks with the textures
makes them blurry
lemme grab a quake example
Bilinear filtering on the bottom
crimson folio
gzdoom creator is a sick person to default that
tawdry estuary
Oh wow yeah ok
crimson folio
there isn't even any reasoning behind it in gzdoom too
obtuse prairie
Is it meant to increase performance? that's the only reason I can think of using something like that
void anchor
Nah
obtuse prairie
so then why does bilinear filtering exist
tawdry estuary
I’d guess it’s just more meant for higher res textures
crimson folio
satan
tawdry estuary
That’s just a guess tho
void anchor
Yeah, high res textures look fine
tawdry estuary
My understanding was that texture filtering is intended to improve the look of textures viewed at steep angles
amber sparrow
It's mostly because it looks more like a natural blur than pixelization, and low-res pics of real life are easier to interpret with filtering than without
It looks like shit when the textures aren't designed for it. Unfiltered textures can be used well
crimson folio
man i gotta play me some quake one day
amber sparrow
Like, if all textures have the same resolution it makes tiling look good (like, pixelx are alread tiles pretty much)
It also kinda makes things look like mosaics
Because... tiles
Also there are texture filtering methods that look way less ugly than bilinear if you ask me
I have yet to come across information on whether bilinear filtering accounts for gamma or not
Because if not, then that can result in extra ugliness
zealous bluff
There are some textures in Dusk that look better with bilinear filtering, IMO
The weapons, mostly
jade root
quake has it on too but it doesnt bug me as much
delicate sail
Everytime I set up Quake I start a new game only to look up the console command for turning off texture filtering after 10 seconds
velvet carbon
Is there going to be a dusk 2?
crimson folio

upbeat pecan
I just play at 1024x768 and it's almost like having bilinear filtering on lol.
lapis jetty
I play most modern games at 1200X820 or smth resolution and yeah it's like permanent filtering
upbeat pecan
I think dusk feels a bit better at 4:3 because of the way it handles FOV, just my preference but I could go 16:9 with a higher fov. But a low res like that also gives me really high fps
and yea i play mostly either 1280x720 or 1024x768 on modern games

i'm also not sure if i got the grren key

What cracked texture?
I know there's one in the beginning of the map but I don't think it has anything to do with that secret
Also I hate that cracked texture because it's pretty much impossible to see against the wall texture

that wall
that how i got there
then i noticed i could get there by using the yellow door but i already got there through the cracked wall

is the coop going to have friendly fire like quake's coop
amber sparrow
maybe it won't 
or if any of the players move, time moves
so you move and stop together
By the way the player accelerates/decelerates in superhot mode more quickly than the world
I think you move at the exact same speed, actually
And you reach full speed way before the game reaches full speed
so you can tap movement keys to run fast in hot mode with the game barely reacting and thus you can outrun your own rivets and shit
it's dope
Also crossbow push forgets to scale at all (or it scales incorrectly), so you can make ridiculously large jumps
crimson folio
Episode 1 is probably my favorite still

Hey there, I dunno if this is the correct place for this, but I'm creating a steam input scheme for dusk specifically for ps4 and switch pro controller (or the 8bitdo SN30Pro+ which is what I'm using cause the gyro is great).

Being able to select weapons by hold down a button and pressing a face button would be good, as well as said button disabling or recentering the gyro.

it works the same as making a quake map

I wouldn't say making Quake maps is "not too hard", but it's at least easier to grasp than Unreal or Unity RTCSG off the bat
In general, you do not need Quake proper, but you do need at minimum a texture wad of any kind

rest in peace
but eventually once I got some income I bought all that and more
void anchor
I can comfortably say i've pirated my good share of games in the past
narrow glacier
copying =/= theft though, game devs aren't entitled to money from sales that weren't going to happen in the first place, normally from lack of money. It's still really shitty when you do it to indie devs like newblood, but it's not, by definition, stealing. It's illegal copying
void anchor
It's hard to buy them when you're in a third world country
narrow glacier
wait what did I just get charlimited or something
pearl thunder
no?
narrow glacier
straight up cut off the first sentence on my screen
pearl thunder
rip you
But yes copying if not for sale or redistribution is fine correct?
like backups
void anchor
Well you do get backups for games on GoG
like, an installer for the game without any DRM
narrow glacier
well yeah by legal definition you can say, copy a movie you own a hundred times if all you do with those copies is keep em in your basement or something, it's the distribution that's illegal
pearl thunder
would be nice to have a similar system for steam
but yeah illegally downloading cracked or drm free copies from sites is a bad
Morals wise if the guy doing couldn't pay otherwise then it's not a real issue
but if it's some numbskull who is very much able to do so then it's being a dick
and bragging about it is being a shit
narrow glacier
tbh only if it's indie games like dusk, if it's something from ea/activision/bethesda there is literally nothing morally wrong with it at all, they already assume it's going to happen and adjust price/marketing/drm accordingly. They try to frame it as a moral issue because it's really just straight up greed, as they feel entitled to the "lost sales" from people who, as a vast majority, can't afford it or have an issue with the dev's practices and don't want to support them
if you pirate dusk you're a total bastard tho
pearl thunder
I'm not gonna lie I did pirate a copy of RA2 once because EA very much killed that series
but let's stop talking about that
piracy is a deep and complex topic
let's talk about the real reason we're hjere
void anchor
yes
pearl thunder
beeg john
void anchor
we wanna have a wendigo pet
pearl thunder
screw wendigo pets I want a personal big john
Have a pesky dog ruining your lawn? no problem, just let john do his thing and remove the entire neighborhood
rocky basalt
To be Fair i first pirated Dusk then i bought it
Game is really good gotta support them creators
lapis jetty
I feel uneasy pirating stuff from small (or in the case of NB, bite-sized, which is probably larger) indie devs so I held off getting nb stuff till I got the moolah
Good thing most of the games are like 8 dollars here
crimson folio
dusk is the only game u start with 200 health despite having 2 gaping holes from the meat sickles you just ripped out of your back
and then ||you do the same thing near-end game||
knotty tinsel
In videogames meat is an hp pickup. If you are meat, you must have all the hp.

I didnt know they meant half life physics

Dusk has water physics too, you can test it on the showers

oh sick
also why did they make the boulders unaffected by light?
i hate it so much
misty hornet
hey imagine there is a super secret version of the achievement "Intoxigated"
where you have to be drunk irl
because imagine having David watch you play the game while actually inxtoxicated
while fighting the intoxigator
lmao

@twilit quest lighting stuff on fire is the workaround for getting both pacifist and completionist on some levels
balmy sluice
It's a pretty fun challenge if the level has a fire source
twilit quest
pyro dusk dude
balmy sluice
E3ms is one of those levels, you can get all badges on it at once on duskmare if you try hard enough
misty hornet
Somehow got 17 kills tho
@eternal sky probably the rats fought each other
eternal sky
Telefrag too
eternal sky
Can melee enemies even infight?
balmy sluice
Where if they blow themselves up, it counts as a kill you did
I don't think rats can infight.
balmy sluice
Yeah, he can kill them.
balmy sluice
Oh yeah, he's pretty important for killing them all if you want completionist as well.
eternal sky
And you kill him by burning?
balmy sluice
Yep, there's a few boxes and firepits on the map
Light a box, bait him into it, hide lol
eternal sky
Can i eat the cooked rat to gain HP
amber sparrow
you can only pick up the viscera item, which is part of the map's props
eternal sky
Lost opportunity smh
balmy sluice
Bad game
amber sparrow
Gibs have no interaction and shrink into nothingness in a few seconds
eternal sky
Just like irl
amber sparrow
I think better gibs could be a feature of a slight improvement mod
I'm not sure if late-game enemies always gib because "no, I don1t want to make a death anim" or for some deeper reason
eternal sky
Considering the experiments i think its more just to be satisfying
amber sparrow
I think it's more like "meh whatever"
eternal sky
The experiments gibs are like 3x their own size
eternal sky
Clearly as an foreshadowing to the final boss and his influence
nah it was just because funny
Also brutal dusk when
amber sparrow
Better Dusk when

used to be "every time someone asks when dusk is released david is going to delay it by a week"

Make a random line of the code get deleted whenever hdusk is mentioned in this server

i got really close to the end, then went to bed and never got around to beating the last few levels for whatever reason

i forget, can you savescum in dusk?

You can, but I'll make fun of u for it.

damn i'm being threatened
lapis jetty
It's only really an assurance. I savescum a lot but I rarely end up using it
eternal sky
Oh, saving the game is obviously ok in my opinion
I have like 20 saves from my first time in E2M2 for obvious reasons
lapis jetty
Is that the one with the Wendigos
eternal sky
I tend to save just before the lord himself

I bound quicksave and jump to the same key so it saves on every hup

In fact, no interaction at all

yeah no doors

Too confusing for players
eternal sky
doors as a concept do not exist

Just let them run straight into the buttons

in fact, what Jakob was sacrificing people to bring into this world was doors
whats the last thing you see before the final boss huh?

yo @mild ginkgo what's coming first, if anything at all- coop mode, or duskworld 2.0?
mild ginkgo
both will be available at the same time likely
royal herald
oh lit
eternal sky
Whats duskworld 2.0?
mild ginkgo
they both rely on the same core systems being complete
royal herald
the highly anticipated rebalancing of dusk I hope
mild ginkgo
less rebalance, more re-do
royal herald
well that probably means the crossbow won't be able to kill a full stacked individual through multiple buildings from the other side of the map. I dig it.
royal herald
I have a vid of it happening to bran
lemme find it
wait shit
it was in the duskworld channel
eternal sky
I have a degree in crossbow studies and that's completely realistic
mild ginkgo
rip
eternal sky
Also, how will coop work?
Different campaign?
mild ginkgo
same campaign
royal herald
@obsidian sail you know that one duel on dusk of the dead we had where I hit you with a crossbow from like the farthest possible distance on that map
do you still have the clip
mild ginkgo
distance doesnt do anything to the crossbow bolts
iirc crossbow bolts are actually based on time
royal herald
yeah that's part of the prob imo.
mild ginkgo
i think they exist for 5 seconds no matter what
royal herald
It's just the fact that crossbow is a projectile weapon with no consistent way to ensure you're hitting your shot, so most of the time you can't reliably hit your target. makes it feel like luck rather than skill, and it deals an absolute load of damage for being so inconsistent.
projectile weapons are hard to balance
very awkward to measure the skill versus the prediction involved I guess.
royal herald
I mispoke
my point is that you can't really ensure you'll hit your shot
it relies on your opponent making a mistake
mild ginkgo
well aiming at your target is the first step
royal herald
When you can't see the person shooting you, then you can't dodge out of the way of a projectile
mild ginkgo
right, same goes with aiming it
royal herald
I'm not really sure what we're disagreeing on right now, this conversation feels scattered.
mild ginkgo
well you jumped around from various points about the balance of the crossbow
royal herald
yeah Ik it's my fault for sure but I'm alright with that
I don't really care enough.
royal herald
well, fortunately, that's exactly what I'm hoping for.
royal herald
"when"
eternal sky
Yep
royal herald
mild ginkgo
absolutely no prediction of that would be accurate
when its ready is really all i can say
eternal sky
Understandable

@obsidian sail you know that one duel on dusk of the dead we had where I hit you with a crossbow from like the farthest possible distance on that map
@royal herald yea I remember that video, but why would I save a clip of me getting obliterated
also you can get xbow shots if you practice it. especially helps to use it on the smaller maps like vestibule and fusillade. I wouldn't say my consistency with the weapon is luck or necessarily my opponent's fault. one thing we can agree on though is that the ammo cap for xbow does need to be lowered
wise crane
I just spam it and get those sweet sweet skill shots. Through walls and across the map
misty hornet
i wish i could 100% DUSK
but one of the achievements is broken
and it's the own where you kill Chomper
i tried killing him with just the crossbow through the door
i killed him legit
i even soaped him
and nothing
opal plover
You need to use the crystal of madness on it
misty hornet
oh ok
that is dumb
the achievement straight up says to kill him
if it said something like "drive the chomper to madness" or something like that
but either way
thanks
opal plover
It says to neutralize it
misty hornet
yeah and that usually means "kill" or "take out"
not "throw a crystal of madness at it"
but i got the achievement now
so yay
