I think at one point I thought that Dusk had a custom built engine

#

or something like that

jade root
#

No

amber sparrow
#

the game looked really polished

jade root
#

Oh

#

Didn’t read your message fully

#

Yeah a lot of people thought it was a quake mod

amber sparrow
#

That might have been what I thought, I can't remember

#

What I remember is that I was really surprised, watching the record of the anniversary stream, when David said that it was made in Unity

crimson folio

is dusck as scary as clock towel

im pretty sure there is a clean version of this art

The bad editing makes it better

tardy slate
#

up to you but here if you want to do a super high quality version

#

same art, the definition doesnt matter as long as it looks decent

#

well.........

#

One the other hand I compressed it

#

so that pixelation is what I needed anyways

tardy slate

by "high quality" i mean clean edit lol

no clean edits

it removes the funny

#

Ah

#

Thanks

mild ginkgo
#

@old mica im curious whats broken about the save load system

#

at least thats what you put in cons

#

reading the review you have things you dont like about it, but dont mention anything thats actually broken

#

it seemed most of your complaints were centered around the UI components of it specifically

#

but if theres actually something broken id love to know about it so we can fix it

#

to speak to your complaints about the UI, the game was definitely more intended to use quicksaving more than manual saving, and it seems like you maybe didnt leverage that, which is fair, i know some people are very particular about their save slots

old mica
#

After dinner I will edit my review a bit to adjust to your suggestions.

Hey does dusk have a set release date for switch yet or no

#

@old mica if you want to find players to play duskworld with you should check out #lfg-signup. As someone who has spent 400+ hours this game because of multiplayer i can tell you that it's at best an unpolished diamond and at worst a crushingly hard multiplayer experience

#

unpolished diamond sounds harsh

#

i absoloutly fucking love this game but it's in a very rough state imo

I mean, it was possible to misunderstand that line and walk away with thinking that the save system doesnt work. And that aint the case. The save and load ui is just a mess.

Aight everyone interested in duskworld, wait for tomorrow. My most ambitious move is coming.

crimson folio

I feel stupid now

#

I mean, i am but still

feral river
vast magnet
#

should I buy dusk if I liked ultra kill

feral river
vast magnet
#

don’t know what those are

feral river
#

Or old shooters like DOOM, NeXen, Kuake, Stalker?

vast magnet
#

i like doom

#

im a FPS boomer if you will

feral river
#

Did you play Blood?

vast magnet
#

I’ve emulated it a while back

#

thought it was nice

feral river
#

Do you like this whole occult aesthetics in general? Like sacrifices, cemeteries, American Protestant churches?

vast magnet
#

yeah

feral river
#

Well, like in old horror movies

vast magnet
#

im more interested in the combat of the game

feral river
#

Then I advise you to buy Dusk. Although besides this there is still much more.

ebon radish
#

combat is fun as fuck just like ultrakill

feral river
#

Depends on the episode

vast magnet
#

@ebon radish all I needed to hear

ebon radish
#

you can bunnyhop at mach 5 and do backflips

feral river
#

The combat component there is like in Quake

ebon radish
#

and dual-wield shotguns and shoot cultists in the face

#

god it's like quake on crack

#

quack

#

it'll subvert your expectations hard and it does it phenomenally

vast magnet
#

ooOooOo

#

alright ill see if I can get it

#

combat sounds really fun

#

so the atmosphere

feral river
#

Although in the last episode, the spaces are rather narrow. And the first time you will play with a sword and a crossbow and it will resemble Heretic and HeXen

ebon radish
#

dont spoil too much now

feral river
#

In short, the dudes just made solyanka of old shooters of the 90s and 00s

ebon radish
#

maps arent too narrow they're still wide and open and fun to hurl yourself around at mach 5 lol

vast magnet
#

I migrate now I won’t read more

#

thanks though I appreciate it

ebon radish
#

join ussss

feral river
ebon radish
#

JOIN USSSS

#

yeah so am i

#

in some spaces i do agree though

#

for the most part it's still pretty versatile

#

i think the claustrophobic spaces work well with dusk's gameplay

feral river
#

Well yes. Three episodes are not alike each others

crimson folio
#

dusk levels are an abtract kind of hell

feral river
#

Well, I'm not level designer so I can't say. Although in some places it is

pliant wraith
#

I will never stop saying it's a masterpiece

crimson folio
#

william shatner's tekwar is a masterpiece

olive cloud
#

let's stay on the ground a bit. Dusk is good but it's not without issues

olive cloud
crimson folio
#

dont hear about it its underrated

feral river
#

Dusk has a very cool atmosphere. Although it lacks some kind of decorative effect. The same Blood, which the game was also inspired by, was full of various items. Bottles, books and the like. This is not enough.

timid island
#

Dusk is a trowback while still inovating in the formula of 90's fps, its good, its bloody, and its amazing, the moment in dusk that i went "hell yhea" was the echer labs

opal plover
#

Yeah I don't think Dusk would stand out much from most 90's fps is it wasn't for the levels

#

Most of the stuff after E2M3 you woudn't even have seen a level designer from that time period even consider making

prisma cypress
opal plover
#

The mutiplayer?

prisma cypress
#

singleplayer too

timid island
#

the formula for 90's fps doesnt need to change, its how to apply it in new ways

timid island
pliant wraith
#

bosses are lackluster and AI is stupid around staircases

opal plover
#

Yeah I wouldn't say the arenas are the standout of the combat in dusk

pliant wraith
#

weapons are also a bit too safe

prisma cypress
#

yea artificial intelligence kinda stupid

opal plover
#

On Cero Mideo anyway

timid island
#

while some levels are arenas, such as the erebus reactor, most of the game was more of a callback to doom, searching for secrets, and long levels

prisma cypress
#

yea

pliant wraith
#

while also being less confusing and less maze like than doom

#

which I appreciated because I hate key hunting

opal plover
#

In terms of actual arenas I'd say Nudoom is the best in that category

timid island
opal plover
#

Although I do wish the level design in Doom Eternal could include more combat outside the arenas

pliant wraith
#

tbh a cross like weapon like in faith would've been really cool

#

and unique in an fps game

timid island
#

i do enjoy the mechanics of the sword

#

and dusk BFG

LORD SOAP

"The soap now does 10 milion damage because funny"
-Duskdev

feral river
#

Well this is something like an easter egg

prisma cypress
#

Nah I don't think is an easter egg

timid island
#

that you can get in all levels

prisma cypress
#

yea

timid island
#

i feel like the arsenal in dusk is rock solid

#

all the guns feel good to fire

prisma cypress
#

"Game balance is a delicate art that-
NB: "fuck off dude, 10 milion damage"

timid island
#

yeet ]

prisma cypress
#

God when you SSG someone in the face, so satisfiyng

feral river
#

It's just more for jokes and achievements than something serious. It knocks out of the surroundings one way or another. So I believe this is an Easter egg

timid island
#

and the ammount of exploding blood sacks (also know as monsters) is good and intresting

opal plover
#

Yeah depends on your definition of easter egg but it's just there for shits and giggles

white hearth
#

Soap is balanced by being a pain in the ass to maneuver through corridors with those Source engine-esque physics

timid island
#

tho i imagine something like the unmaker from doom 64 whould be intresting, find a secret to get a power up to the gun

proven sinew
#

And a pain to pick up

crimson folio
#

yes

opal plover
#

I kind of do wish there was as much creativity put into the arsenal and the combat as there was in the level design

timid island
opal plover
#

Yeah it's not part of the secret counter

proven sinew
#

To be fair every weapon idea has been exhausted in retro shooters

#

Mostly

feral river
#

In the game, I rarely saw the need to use soap. Probably only on the last level of the second episode with three meter dumbass who have a gun instead of a hand

timid island
crimson folio
#

all the weapons are practical but i wish they were a little less generic/ like quake

proven sinew
#

Yeah

opal plover
#

Even just changing the designs like having the hunting rifle be an alien gauss cannon or something

proven sinew
#

The few original weapons are riveter, dual shotties and crossbow

feral river
#
  • _-
timid island
#

hmmm maybe they just need new sprites ? because otherwise you dont wana make the other guns useless

opal plover
#

Although I guess you'd want to keep the more alien weapons for Ep1/2

feral river
#

Then it would be knocked out of the entourage of the game

crimson folio
#

Riveter is just a rocket launcher

#

Its defining trait is that it shoots fast

proven sinew
#

It could have been just a bazooka

#

But it's a bit more original

feral river
#

This is not about aliens, but about lovecraft horror

opal plover
#

Yeah Lovecraft horrors that come from where?

#

Certainly not Earth

timid island
#

whould be cool if crossbow pinned foes to the walls

proven sinew
#

Lol

#

No it goes through walls, how could it hit a wall

timid island
crimson folio
opal plover
#

Yeah well I didn't mean gray aliens

timid island
opal plover
#

Or Star Trek stuff

feral river
#

But it's still some kind of another shit like sci-fi

timid island
#

hmmm

feral river
#

In Dusk, weapons somehow do not really stand out from the style of the game

proven sinew
#

The game isnt sci fi, it's more industrial horror

timid island
#

i feel like spomething like the soul cube whould work

proven sinew
#

Also have you guys seen that cut rune staff weapon

timid island
#

i havent

feral river
#

Although the Riveter and Grenade Launcher look a bit dull

proven sinew
#

Does anyone know the video?

opal plover
#

It does get into industrial sci-fi towards the end of Ep2

proven sinew
#

Oh yea

#

Wbu that rune staff

#

1 sec

timid island
#

then you get into stuff beyound the colors of madness

feral river
# proven sinew The game isnt sci fi, it's more industrial horror

I know. I'm talking about what some people here want to introduce into the game a gaussgun and the like, and I mean something like that, because it gets out of style. Well, or you need to make it look convincing. As a weapon of the Ancients from the Call of Cthulhu DCotE

opal plover
#

Yeah or something really rusty like the architecture in Episode 2

feral river
#

Well, this is because the second episode was inspired by a stalker

timid island
#

i feel like dusk has all the bases coverd, and if they did introduce or changed a weapom to be more eldritch it whould spoil a bit of the suprise

opal plover
#

Oh yeah, the Stalker influence was a lot more obvious in the earlier versions of the game too

crimson folio
#

Zombie posted some videos of 1 or 2 unused dusk weapons but i think those are unlisted

proven sinew
#

Zambo

timid island
#

maybe a weapom only found on episode 3 wich is more eldritch like ?

opal plover
#

Yeah

white hearth
#

As much as I love the creativity of weapons of Amid Evil or Unreal the gunplay in Dusk is so tight I can't complain

timid island
#

maybe a bow that fires aout seeking arrows ?

crimson folio
#

Found the video

feral river
#

The third episode was a bit inspired by Hexen and Heretic I think. Because the first couple of levels are passed with a crossbow and a sword

crimson folio
#

Basically a magic plasma gun taking the place of the crossbow

timid island
#

i whould not get rid of the crossbow

#

think about it

feral river
#

Crossbow more balanced

opal plover
#

Devs talked about the fact that there's no new weapons past Episode 1 because they weren't willing to rebalance the enemies and such around them

feral river
#

He has arrows flying through walls and you can still use his repulsion ability

opal plover
#

Which is perfectly understandable cause Dusk's already a monumental effort in of itself

feral river
#

This has some room for tactical creativity.

crimson folio
#

The e3 2016 build had a hammer instead of the sickles and a pump action shotgun that couldnt be dual wielded

timid island
#

we have two melle options, two autofire options (pistols and lmg) 2 explosive options, 1 long range option

#

and the magical crossbow

opal plover
#

Though I do wish they had gone the extra step to have the arsenal and combat open up more towards the end

timid island
#

add another magical weapom, a bow with homming arros whould be intresting when you need to blind fire into a room full of badies

crimson folio
opal plover
#

E3 2016 demo is in the goodies folder btw

crimson folio
#

Ye

feral river
#

Although it seems to me. The enemies in Dusk are not well developed. Many of them pose no danger except at the Duskmare level

#

Maybe only that when you play for the first time

#

Well, for example, soldiers or dudes with a chainsaw

opal plover
#

Yeah there was an intentional design desision to have the enemies have very simple behavior, I do wish they would have made more complex enemies as the game went on

timid island
#

and thats where you are mistaken, every enemy serves a idea, or servers to get you into the beat of the game

crimson folio
#

My favorite enemies are the bone balls

#

Probably why i loved amid evil so much

timid island
#

the scarecrows can go F themselfs

opal plover
#

Scarecrows are one of the most interesting enemies to fight imo

#

Cause you need to slide to dodge their attacks

crimson folio
#

Scarecrows are fine

opal plover
#

All other enemies are basically strafe to avoid

timid island
#

i have such a problem dealing with them XD

timid island
opal plover
#

Hahaha I think it works well for the most common enemies

#

I do wish they did more imaginative stuff with more rare enemies

#

Like the marauders in doom eternal

timid island
#

the cowgirl already fills my dreams with milky nightmares

#

i do not need more

feral river
#

It just seems to me. that from the lore of DUSK you can make something more serious. A type of semi-tactical shooter with an open world and RPG elements

feral river
#

Something like a stalker

#

Just remake the quake mechanic into something less arcade

timid island
#

first rule of FPS shooters, stick to your guns, what are FPS good at ? fast pace action ? then stick with it

opal plover
#

I think it'd be cool if a hypothetical dusk 2 would do something different

timid island
#

today every single game under the sun needs to have rpg elements

#

wich is starting to feel stale

opal plover
#

I do agree I don't really like rpg elements

timid island
opal plover
#

That why I like Deus Ex actually cause it's got a minimum ammount of that

#

Skill of the character should reflect the skill of the player imo

timid island
#

problem is that today you add rpg elements to everything without thinking]

opal plover
#

Yeah most genres don't need it

timid island
#

also about the marauders, they where a hit or miss with fans, i for one love them

opal plover
#

Yeah me too

timid island
#

but my friends that play doom ethernal hate them with a burning passion

#

in response i just say "hey at least it isnt doom 2 archvile"

feral river
#

I mean, by RPG elements, not a hero's leveling (well, or very moderate), but rather, some dialogues with the inhabitants of the city, trade, hunting, contract killings, costumes, small weapon attachments (quite a bit and without moronic weapon paints). This would suit a shooter

opal plover
#

Yeah that I could get along with

knotty tinsel
#

Don't you be saying bad things about flamy boi D2 archie

opal plover
#

Kind of a boomer shooter immersive sim

#

And Dusk already has quite a bit of immersive sim elements

timid island
#

and find doctor memes

opal plover
#

Well Dusk 1 is

#

I don't think it'd be that interesting if Dusk 2 would do the same thing again

feral river
#

Well, combat gameplay, respectively, is something between a stalker and a tarkov. Perhaps something from Arma, but don't get carried away too much.

timid island
opal plover
#

I do agree it should stay minimal in story

timid island
#

more in the "eat a Super shootgun in the mouth" way

opal plover
#

Dusk's forte in it's story is enviromental storytelling

timid island
opal plover
#

I mean it's forte when it comes to storytelling

feral river
#

It's just that all these shooters from the 90s lack some measure. And then it was quite normal. This twitching annoys me. It's like I'm not playing a human, but for a camera with a gun

opal plover
#

I think it has some of the best "show don't tell" storytelling in any game imo

timid island
knotty tinsel
#

The twitch shooter is what people came to these games for. Don't make them something theyre not

timid island
#

like come on too many games try to be "serius compeling story telling" and they end up feeling stale

#

hell even stalker has its pletera of silly moments

#

tho i wonder if its intencional or the engine having another one of its stalker moments

feral river
opal plover
#

I mean a game doesn't have to be heavy on story to have a compelling story

#

Hell I loved the story in dusk and the way it's presented

knotty tinsel
#

How are you in New Blood discord with such disdain for 90's shooters?

opal plover
#

We all have different views on what a game's experience is all about

timid island
#

i whould not call half like a 90's shooter per say, it has elements of one, but it marks the shift from 90's arcane blood to the more serius tones

opal plover
#

imo most important part of a video game is that it should feel like an adventure

timid island
#

err depends

feral river
#

The stalker has a lot of stupid moments, because the game was made by a small Ukrainian studio that wanted to do something big. As a result, some things came out crooked, and some elements of old concepts were not completely cut out of the finished product.

opal plover
#

I do think story in a shooter game should always be optional

#

Dusk just has mostly enviromental storytelling and Doom Eternal has skippable cutscenes

timid island
feral river
#

And the stalker is actually not a very serious game in places. The motivation of the gangs is dull. The Western community will never understand any kind of things. Only rofls from bandit radio and cheekibreeki

crimson folio
#

the stalker

opal plover
#

Story in a game is like story in a porno, it doesn't have to be good but I'd rather have it be

feral river

#

I know the original wuote

crimson folio
#

the original quote is outdated imo

timid island
#

fair enought

#

it is

crimson folio

opal plover
#

Still holds true in some aspects

timid island
#

but i ratter have a game with solid gameplay ratter then one that tries to be a drama

feral river
knotty tinsel
#

You don't need to make things constantly more complex

timid island
#

Game story should be "play don't tell"

Sherh suggesting adding talking to NPC's and stuff to DUSK

crimson folio
timid island
#

dusk, amid evil, ion fury, all these games take a back seet to story and complex gameplay, and yet they are popular

crimson folio
#

so many reasons that's a bad idea & so many reasons it'll never happen lol

#

butta dawg

#

dusk's story is fine anyways, i like how it's weird & warped

#

dog wit da butta on im

atomic egret
#

no

timid island
crimson folio
#

There were the mission packs

feral river
#

You just need to make the game in such a way as to please the dudes who just love pew-pew and those who like to try hard and study lore and those who love both. If everything is in unequal proportions, then you get either a shooter for the sake of a shooter. Or some weird shit like Pathologic

You react strangely. I explain that there may be NPCs in DUSK, but then the gameplay should be completely different. Not quake-like

knotty tinsel
#

We WANT quake like gameplay

feral river
#

No

#

you don't want

#

you want stalker and tarkov and arma gameplay

timid island
#

puts in the boomer shoes now some of you youngsters might not remember, but there was a time when adventure games tried to be "story telling" those never sold well, now lucas art ? they made silly adventure games and they are now classic

timid island
#

running stalker in a modern system is......intresting

feral river
#

Stalker runs fine on modern systems

#

Departures happen very rarely on vanilla

timid island
#

.....ok now i know you are a troll

feral river
#

With mods often

opal plover
#

An opinion I always had about story in games is that you can have serious and silly coexist in it

feral river
#

Because modders are crooked morons

opal plover
#

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority saying that though

feral river
knotty tinsel

I have the exact opposite opinion manniacc

I can totally understand why people don't like it though

errr

feral river
#

Well, in general, I'm probably not a boomer who loves shooters of the 90s (Except for the first Half-Life and Blood). I like shooters from the 00s more like Stalker, Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Fear

timid island
#

skyrim and oblivion feel more like a dungeon crawl then anything

feral river
#

You are empty

knotty tinsel
#

You can do silly and serious in a story, but I find when it's totally contained to either one it's a problem. Like serious story with silly gameplay=bad. But mix of silly and serious in both can be better

opal plover
#

I think Max Payne 1 does the silly/serious mix pretty well

timid island
feral river
#

By the way, I adore Max Payne, but I didn't remember him because I was talking about first-person shooters.

timid island
#

skyrim and oblivion are dungeon crawls, really good dungeon crawls

You are empty certainly is a video game

Are you talking about Lukash? He seemed to have heart problems and died

#

He was a concept artist

opal plover
#

It's definitely less weird than most slavjank though

#

He also painted for the stalker

Quite a creative game actually. With its own atmosphere. Although it gives off anti-Soviet

its easily the best fps game ive played this year

subtle shuttle

is it similar to ultrakill

cuz i bought ultrakill it was amazing

wispy quiver

It's more like quake in its art style

#

Its still very fast paced if you're asking that

crimson folio

Its gameplay is very reminiscent of quake

#

But with elements of environmental storytelling

wispy quiver
#

I bought ultrakill before I bought dusk too but dusk is still my fav

So are it's weapons

Dusk's story is amazing if you're able to pick out all the pieces of lore

weapons make me do unspeakable things to myself

Chomper also does 200 damage if he manages to hit all pellets

just parry the pellets

pull out sickles & when he fires his pellets at you just hit them

they reflect & deal damage, last time i did it it did a ton of damage but i'm unsure if it still does

guys so

#

i'm on episode 2 right now

#

and i have some constructive critisicm for dusk

limber mica
#

go on

vast magnet
#

i think that there could be more sound design while shooting enemies, the guns don't feel very impactful when you're shooting someone.

#

take ultra-kill for an example. sure, 2 different games. but the guns feel impactful.

#

just a little sound-effect could go a long way.

#

the bullets don't even make a sound when you hit someone.

limber mica
#

i can empathize with that

#

but I liked the sound of the shotguns

vast magnet
#

the sounds of the guns themselves are good

#

it's just the impact that's missing

undone jay
#

I can tell youve never played quake

vast magnet
#

I have, and I know that it's HEAVILY inspired, and that the enemies there don't have those noises.

#

Even the jumping noises is indentical.

#

Still, would anybody complain for a sound effect even if it isn't originally traditional to quake?

#

this is just my views, that's all really.

mild ginkgo
#

there is an impact sound effect

#

you might just not be hearing it

#

which, fair

limber mica
#

if you dont mean the sound the guns make then what do you mean by impact @vast magnet

mild ginkgo
#

when bullets hit the enemies

limber mica
#

do you mean enemies dont fly back when killed?

vast magnet
#

what 500_pts said

mild ginkgo
#

that is actually present in the game

limber mica
#

do bullets make noise when they hit enemies ?

vast magnet
#

then it's pretty quiet

#

or i'm just listening for the wrong sound

mild ginkgo
#

yeah its not like super loud, is a fairly dull thud

vast magnet
#

i see

#

it would be neat if you can change the hitsound

#

didn't quake do that?

mild ginkgo
#

quake 3 had a hitsound like htat

#

but anyways youll be able to in the modding sdk

vast magnet
#

ah

limber mica
#

hitsound in a singleplayer game?
usually in games when theres a hitsound its some sort of ding or bell
like quake 3 arena or tf2

crimson folio
#

I dont care for hitsounds in single player

mild ginkgo

you can hear the hit sounds here

vast magnet
#

i think i can hear it

#

i replaced every "note" hitsound in tf2 with a random space cadet pinball sound effect, and my skill doubled overnight

#

perhaps such a feature would be useful in dusk

mild ginkgo
#

lol

mild ginkgo
#

if your setup doesnt reproduce bass particularly well some of the impact will be lost for sure

#

probably couldve accounted for that

vast magnet
#

I have headphones that do haptic triggers or something, but it's razer and for whatever reason I can't adjust it in synapse because it doesn't show up

#

i'm going to finish episode 3 later but i'm going to say that i've never felt more terrified over a fucking navajo skinwalker walking blood and breathing in my ears

#

it's terrifying

limber mica
#

i know people say use headphones but i'd say get a big ol' tv with enormous speakers

brisk lagoon
#

i've found that one of the most effective and satisfying hitsounds--that doesn't get annoying over time--is a quick, meaty, and bass-heavy thud sound

vast magnet
#

^

mild ginkgo
#

heres the dusk hitsound

limber mica
#

it hought that was part of the gun firing sound

mild ginkgo
#

fire guns at the ground or whatever and you wont hear that

tardy slate
#

if you ever shot a crossbow across the map and hit an enemy you'd easily be able to distinguish the hitsound btw

mild ginkgo
#

oh that too

#

shoot like 5 enemies in a row with crossbow and its very satisfying lol

crimson folio
#

Is the sound not effected by range from the enemy you hit?

#

It always seems to be the same volume when i use the crossbow

you can hear the impact sound if you turn up fast fire cheats to insane levels

the gunshot sound itself starts glitching out and you only hear impacts
