#

amazing

hoary robin
#

and it looks like gorgori and his traps don't work

#

but the zombies and headcrabs work

blazing bridge
#

My friend got into Ultrakill but now he considers buying Dusk also

pulsar nova
#

dusk is a worthwhile buy

blazing bridge
#

where is the secret door in e1m2

#

I pressed a button

#

where door

white hearth
#

Cornfield

crimson folio
#

God why is the dusk out so freaking good

#

Literally the only music I've been consuming for a month

viscid lion
#

beautiful blashphemy gives me straight up chills

#

death from above also rocks

#

which tracks your fave?

crimson folio
#

handgun harmony and keepers of the gate stick out to me

viscid lion
#

nice

crimson folio
#

run also

#

departure to destruction, keepers of the gate, the frozen void, embrace the darkness, slippery slope to sanity, burn in hell and beautiful blasphemy

viscid lion
#

embrace the darkness is also amazing

crimson folio
#

burn in hell, keepers of the gate, handgun harmony

quick lark
#

Is there still dusk speedrunning?

crimson folio
#

what kinda question is that

quick lark
#

Is there any endless wave 20 duskmare speedrunning sorry

#

The waves start after you kill everything

#

Meaning you could speedrun to wave 20

upbeat pecan
#

There's nothing for endless speedrunning. I guess you could if you wanted. But everything is focused on campaign ILs and full game runs

amber bluff
crimson folio
#

nah

#

dont like

#

too loopy

amber bluff
#

ah fair enough

#

my personal favourite tho

unkempt condor
#

this game would be alot better if it came with some soda

finite blaze
#

hello

#

i almost finished dusk playing on cero miedo all the way

#

but the arena in level 9 chapter 3

#

is way to hard

#

i shamefully lowered the difficulty but its still to hard

#

i know its skipable but im not a chicken

#

any tips?

blazing bridge
#

shamefully lowered?

#

Me boi

#

there is nothing wrong with that

#

also use jumpads and get the soap from the beginning of level

finite blaze
#

it is shamefull to me to lower the difficulty ill pass it on cero miedo

blazing bridge
#

Its there if you want it

finite blaze
#

i know

#

i usually make house rules to make it challenging

blazing bridge
#

use crossbow as much as you can

finite blaze
#

at least on my first run

finite blaze
blazing bridge
#

do it

#

it is kinda broken

finite blaze
#

but there is barely a need since there is no cover

#

no where to hide no walls to shoot through

blazing bridge
#

it can penetrate through enemies

finite blaze
#

i know

#

its kinda hard to line them up

blazing bridge
#

so it can be useful when you dont have riveter and mortar

finite blaze
#

escpecially those damn scarecrows

blazing bridge
#

you can easily line them up since you are pretty fast

finite blaze
#

i have the riveter and t he mortar

#

but i save them for the final wave

#

i can barely pass the first wave

#

let alone the second

blazing bridge
#

thats where crossbow comes in

#

during early waves

finite blaze
#

with the dog chariots or however they are called

#

when should i use the powerups

#

i have quadshot 2 superhots and one full ammo refill

#

i usually collect them too early by mistake

pulsar nova
#

i dont know why ive been playing duskmare so much

#

but god DAMN is this satisfying

strong hamlet
finite blaze
#

i know

#

i stopped playing the game because it is so jarringly hard

#

difficulty spike is not enough to describe this level

strong hamlet
#

Only one I decided to play using quicksaves

finite blaze
#

i made a houserule to use quicksave only at the end of arenas

#

never midbattle

#

i considered quicksaving between waves

strong hamlet
#

Yeah I made quicksaves between each wave I think

#

got through the rest of the campaign without any mid-level saves

finite blaze
#

i forgot does the game save your progress

#

midlevel

crimson folio
#

I don't think so

#

use quicksaves or somethin

pulsar nova
#

honestly wish dusk just had midlevel checkpoints but its level design wouldnt support that

#

hey what level does Reflections of Violence play on?

strong hamlet
#

first attempt, suprisingly

#

not as hard as I remember

pulsar nova
#

thx

finite blaze
#

i die stupidly a lot and i had gotten frustrated to death had i had to start from the beggining

#

each time

crimson folio
#

I don't think potatoes sound like nightmares

finite blaze
#

wut

strong hamlet
#

I remember dying a lot on my first playthrough

finite blaze
#

and you started from the beggining of the level each time?!

strong hamlet
#

at first I did

#

but I finished it using saves

finite blaze
#

ahhh got it

strong hamlet
#

10 min ago I went back and did it without

#

got it on my first attempt, suprisingly

finite blaze
#

ah got it it was like a second run challenge

#

nice

#

on cero miedo?

strong hamlet
#

yeah

finite blaze
#

cool

#

duskmare sounds like a duskmare to me

#

ill never even attempt it

#

this is somehow worse than ultra nightmare on doom (2016 and eternal)

strong hamlet
#

it doesn't seem very appealing no

#

also, I wanted to ask here, has anyone been able to get e1m3 on pacifist

#

It's hard not to die to the rat swarm

pulsar nova
#

duskmare is fun in some places

#

definitely the worst part of duskmare is rats

#

i posted a clip of me reacting to a rat death yesterday

strong hamlet
#

yeah rats and soldiers seem like hell

#

anything with small bursts of dmg

pulsar nova
#

soldiers are ok

#

basically mini scarecrow

strong hamlet
#

have you been able to beat e1m3 on Duskmare?

#

I try to blow up the rats, but I've never managed to survive

pulsar nova
#

yes actually

#

the rat part's probably the hardest

#

i think if you back up into the hole you crawl out of enough, they can't climb up that part and you can mow em down with the AR

strong hamlet
#

Ah

upbeat pecan
#

E3m9 really just keep your speed capped and move around the edge of the arena. It makes the level much much easier.

crimson folio
#

you can just drop off lmao

upbeat pecan
#

Sometimes thats nice, but sometimes the the teleport back in screws you over since it drops you back in the middle. It's also much slower to take the fall.

#

But there are tons of ways to play the level. It's just a big arena so no wrong way really

pulsar nova
#

the trees block projectiles, right

crimson folio
#

uhh I think you can break the trees, but before then yes

fallow mesa
#

Yeah trees can block projectiles, until they get destroyed.

upbeat pecan
#

not the ghost trees on e3m9 if thats what you mean

fallow mesa
#

I mean they are ghost trees

#

why would a ghost block somth smh

median bridge
#

very late response
When it used to run fine, it was awesome. Sadly I can't play at more than 15 fps on the current version now.

viscid lion
#

Nice

amber bluff
#

andrew hulshult makes me want to listen to industrial metal but his songs are the only industrial metal songs i like and now im in pain

amber sparrow
#

same

#

quake 1-3 have ones I like too tho

#

not sure how industrial they are tho

amber bluff
#

fUCk that guy is a music god

cursive saddle
#

Agreed, his music is wonderful

spare cobalt
#

listen to NIN

amber bluff
#

oh yea i gotta do that sometime

#

not now tho

#

googles NIN album ranking
every comment:
1.The Downwards Spiral
2.The Fragile

spare cobalt
#

lol

#

NIN albums can differ alot

amber bluff
#

i mean

#

i listen to judas priest

#

they go from rock and roll to power metal to glam metal to thrash metal to power metal again to doom metal and back to power

#

so

#

and that's just off the top of my head

umbral fulcrum
#

crimson folio
#

Judas priest is touring near me in September and im desperately hoping I'll be able to go

#

They bad to cancel the concert last year

crimson folio
#

damn those bois still alive

spare cobalt
#

and still touring

#

Andrew’s songs are odd... theres like one insanely good riff in each song but most of the rest of the song is either too repetitive or just doesnt 1up the previous segment and its just downwards.
Best example is dark matter for prodeus where its got the most amazing peak near the end, but most of the song is just boring buildup ever

#

Tldr too many lows too few highs per song

#

Departure to destruction is good when you initially hear it but youve basically heard the entire song after 30-45 seconds

strong hamlet
#

I love the Dusk OST

#

but I think there's some clear signs of budget restrictions

#

That being said, I think your point is valid nontheless

#

Death from above is a prime example

#

4 min track

#

1 high

frosty gate
#

Ehhh idk, Handgun Harmony keeps me hooked the whole way through

#

I think you could latch onto good and bad examples in each game though.

strong hamlet
#

there's honestly not that much to complain about

#

Andrew Hulshult did an outstanding job

pulsar nova
#

Reflections of Violence is my favorite

strong hamlet
#

good track as well

viscid lion
#

I feel like the tracks in dusk aren't really as good when listened to outside of the game. For me at least, they work best when accompanied by the environments and atmosphere of the game, which they build on and vice versa. I've heard that a lot of hollywood directors refer to their film's scores like wallpaper, in that they are meant to be a background feature that informs how you feel, but is never really noticed in the same way that the action on screen is. That's kind of how I view dusk's soundtrack, with a few exceptions. It normally feels like a background that reinforces whatever feeling the game is trying to convey, such as excitement (death from above), calm (ashes to ashes, dusk to dusk), or tension (embrace the darkness). I feel like all of the pieces I just listed help really amplify what you are feeling in the moment, but don't work nearly as well when listened to without the added help of what's going on on the screen. That's not a bad thing, the score does exactly what I think it sets out to do, and every track works pretty well imo. The only exception, at least from the tracks I've listened to, is beautiful blasphemy, which I feel is strong enough to convey the sense of building dread even without the visuals of episode 3. I love the way it starts out relatively normal, but as the song goes on it gets more distorted and amplified, before slowly fading away into an uneasy quiet, giving me a strong sense of warnings unheeded and a terrible door being opened

crimson folio
#

burn in hell is badass

acoustic agate
#

do bullets pierce enemies?

#

because ive shot a hunting rifle and it killed 2 enemies right next to eachother

#

even though its hitscan

viscid lion
#

I think only the crossbow pierces, but I'm not sure

strong hamlet
#

Think so

cold bay
#

the crossbow is the only weapon that pierces but the Rifle fires twice so if the first shot is enough to kill then it can hit the enemy behind it

pulsar nova
#

iirc

cold bay
#

bruh read what i just posted

pulsar nova
#

it definitely has piercing abilities to some degree

sterile spade
#

viscid lion

mild ginkgo
#

its important to remember that these songs were made for gameplay, they arent really for straight up listening

#

and while yes, these versions WERE authored for listening, they wont ever be free of that original restriction

pulsar nova
#

how close is the town of dusk to philadelphia

fallow mesa
#

2 duskimeteres

amber sparrow
#

Game soundtracks are a way better listen after experiencing their respective games

#

Because then you can connect them to the moments that happened n stuff

#

Especially when they mix well

proven sinew
#

i do not remember when reflections of violence played

#

its an awesome track, but what level does it play in

pulsar nova
#

brimstone ghetto

opal plover
#

As a rule of thumb most music in the ost album is in the same order as the game

#

e3m6 has 3 tracks?

#

it's one of the smaller levels in ep 3

strong hamlet
#

finally got all of episode 1 on Untouchable

pulsar nova
#

i assume untouchable is duskmare?

#

either way very nice

amber sparrow
#

untouchable is no damage

#

duskmare lets you take some types of damage, untouchable does not

frosty gate
#

Duskmaaaaaaarrrree
(Now your Duskmare comes to life)

strong hamlet
#

Trying to get it on pacifist now

#

anyone been able to do cutty mines and/or down on the farm?

frosty gate
#

I know it's way too early to talk about Dusk 2, but imagine if there were some NE cryptids in it as enemies
Mothman, anyone?

crimson folio
#

down on the farm is easy

#

cutty mines not so much

strong hamlet
#

meant to say old time religion

#

down on the farm is easy

viscid lion
#

My biggest hopes for dusk 2, if it ever exists:
Revolver
Something in the menu that tells you which track from the OST is currently playing
Mothman would be awesome

pulsar nova
#

i’d love a revolver in dusk but i feel like old games without reloading have a weird rule involving it

#

the only classic shooter without reloading i can think of with a revolver is serious sam 1 and 2 and in both those games it’s the only gun that reloads

#

but i’d love a revolver either way, think it’d be a better fit than the hunting rifle personally

amber sparrow
#

you could make the max ammo 6

pulsar nova
#

that’s technically how SS does it iirc, but in that game it’s the weakest gun you can have

mild ginkgo
#

mothman is actually a great idea lol

#

that would be pretty sick

pulsar nova
#

it has 12 total ammo since it’s dual wield then you reload to refill the ammo

viscid lion
#

I think you could do it like the super shotgun, where it has a short reload animation. Duke 3D did something similar with it's pistol

pulsar nova
#

mmm potentially

#

the thing with a super shotgun is that the reload is basically part of the firing anim

viscid lion
#

could give it infinite ammo and just have the hammer pull back and cylinder rotate for a firing animation. Like the hunting rifle kind of

pulsar nova
#

it wouldn’t be a major issue for it to not reload

#

i gotta say i really like dusk’s weapon loadout

#

very much fits the rural 1990s vibe and makes my character feel more human

#

you have like, 1 magical weapon and of course you don’t have any sci-fi guns

#

hunting rifle instead of a railgun is 👌

viscid lion
#

I agree, you really feel like a gunslinger taking hell to the forces of a cult, blood style

strong hamlet
#

Weapons feel so good to use

#

I absolutely love the dual shotguns

#

Everything about them is just perfect

viscid lion
#

definitly my favorite weapon(s?) in the game

strong hamlet
#

For sure

#

Gotta say though, it's impressive how much utility each weapon retains throughout the game

#

Even with a full arsenal I use every weapon (apart from the pistols)

viscid lion
#

I love using the pistol just for the style points

#

I got two guns

#

one for each of ya

I'm playing no save on intruder mode and duskmare

it's a ton of fun

Problaby like, captured then enhanced

blazing bridge
#

Dusk is somehow becoming more fun than Ultrakill for me its confusing

obtuse prairie
#

idk I think the wendigo's being some sort of ancient creature makes more sense with the whole "ancient evil forces unleashed" thing that dusk has going on

eternal sky
#

Or maybe

#

Its a guy in a fursuit

#

Whos very good at hide and seek

blazing bridge
#

furry wendigo suit

pulsar nova
#

honestly yeah i feel like i enjoy dusk more than ultrakill

#

i think it's related to movement

#

something about UK's movement is just... eh

#

not a flaw, just not something im a fan of

blazing bridge
#

but what is it?

#

why do I enjoy Ultrakill less

#

and Dusk more?

pulsar nova
#

no clue

#

maybe dusk has more replayability..?

#

but lets be fair here, UK is in a very very early state, dusk is completely finished

blazing bridge
#

hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm yes

#

I just think

#

Dusk is more fun imo

#

because of its simplicity

pulsar nova
#

simplicity is great

#

it really works out for amid evil too

amber sparrow

blazing bridge
#

Also I just miss the super shotgun sound alot.

cold bay
#

Though personaly haveing gotten into it i think i might like ultrakills movement more...

blazing bridge
#

I am starting to get more into dusk because I can go at 80mph

amber bluff
#

you can do it in ultrakill as well if you have good timing

blazing bridge
#

Ultrakill doesnt have much room to do slide hopping and other stuff

amber bluff
#

but yea its way easier in dusk

cold bay
#

And i can go at 100mph in ultrakill

blazing bridge
#

but Ultrakills areas are mostly small

#

not big

cold bay
#

No

blazing bridge
#

that will change soon hopefully

amber bluff
#

no

#

depends on the layer

#

prelude except for 0-5 is pretty boxed in but 2-1 is very open

blazing bridge
#

yeah but in Dusk every area allows for speeeeeeeeed.

amber bluff
#

fair enough

if i really get the achievement it would be epic

#

on the other hand it's freeze-out to crawl the level for 30+ minutes while finding all the secrets

on e2m8 i even closely didn't miss a single enemy in "the big battle" on the roof of the building

(i don't know how to say it normal way, my english sucks)

Nah it's as long as you don't physically kill

I thought it was related to harming also.

Definitely isn't as simple as not killing

I've had the game take pacifist away when shooting switches

It can be tricky

game goes from good to absolutely amazing from E2M5

I wish i can bring more hunting rifle ammo

#

amber bluff
#

use a crossbow or the assault rifle, i always seemed to be at max for those even tho i love them

merry osprey
#

Crossbow has that annoying knockback

#

Besides, im a sniper main

amber bluff
#

if you're not using superhot then the knockback is negligible imo

#

and you can use them to snipe

#

just lead the shots a bit

merry osprey
#

I keep falling off into nyarlathotep's dance floor whenever I use the crossbow

#

Or some random ledges or pit

amber bluff
#

i keep falling off because i suck but nyarl hits reaaally slow

#

just sit on the jump pad and move to the other island if he tries to hit you

#

also im pretty sure all shotgun pellets hit him cause he's h u g e

white hearth
#

You can literally fly with the crossbow lmao

#

I'd hardly call the knockback negligible

amber bluff
#

bruh that's barely flight

#

you need to spend all ur ammo to actually get up more than you can jump iirc

unless you have the superhot power-up

without it you can just take a step forward

Alright so earlier on I purchased quake on steam. and since dusk is alike that of quake I'm thinking that when I finish quake (which hopefully shouldnt be long) I'll play it.

expect a lot of brown

#

Quake does the brown aesthetic pretty well though, IMO

#

Still would've liked to have seen a little more variety though

amber stone
#

Yes.

spare cobalt
#

iirc the reason for quack looking monochrome is so they could have different hues instead of shitloads of different colors

amber stone
#

I dont think i can even remove auto aim

spare cobalt
#

couldnt have that many colors back then

amber stone
#

Gave it a feel.

olive cloud
#

i don't mind the "ugliness" of quake 1. It gives you the impression that the game hates you but it's still hatefucking at the end of the day so it's not all bad

unkempt condor
crimson folio
#

Can confirm, buying dusk is good

signal nest
#

i just beat the game on duskmare tothetop
and it's surprisingly doable without savescumming as well

#

the final level was much easier compared to the previous one, even if had to practice ||both fights, especially jakob's||

urban quiver
#

yeah that's how you know a game is actually designed and not just shat out is if the highest difficulty is good

signal nest
urban quiver
#

like how often would you even save then

signal nest
#

yeah, i agree

urban quiver
#

what defines scrubbing

#

just level redo?

signal nest
#

only saving at the beginning of a level for me

urban quiver
#

did you use the boss cheese or does that not work on highest diff

signal nest
#

one exception was e3m9 because redoing ~30 seconds of a level got too tiring

#

what boss cheese?

#

if you mean using soap on bosses, that would be no

#

haha, i'm a rat now BIGJOHN

hollow shadow
crimson folio
signal nest
#

just in time

#

let me try something

upbeat pecan
#

Nice. E3m9 Duskmare is pretty tough

signal nest
#

definitely

#

i even wanted to beat it without the crystal of madness, but it was much harder and riskier without it

#

fortunately, i didn't need to use ||the platform above the exit||

upbeat pecan
#

Lol, the black box strat

#

I just used it on wendigos because it makes them pool up there

#

I never use the crystal of madness on that level either because so many times it friendlies an invisible wendigo and kills the level completely

#

you can generally force in fights without it too

signal nest
#

that almost happened to me once, but i was able to reveal it with explosives

upbeat pecan
#

yea. But it takes awhile sometimes and pretty much always gambles the run if you wanna get a decent time

signal nest
#

that's true, but some waves get harder as a result, like the soldier and bull ones

upbeat pecan
#

yea soldier and bull / welder waves I think are the 2 worst on duskmare. They have a bit of RNG. Everything else feels pretty smooth.

#

but a disproportionate amount of deaths happen on those waves lol

signal nest
#

and even jumping down from the platform doesn't guarantee that you'll escape safely

upbeat pecan
#

which one, the main arena? I think that worse in duskmare because you lose map control when you teleport back in

signal nest
#

yeah, that one

#

at least you can manipulate which direction you'll be facing after you get teleported back

upbeat pecan
#

yea

#

Hello! Whats the keybind to use grenades?

crimson folio
#

no grenades

#

if you mean the grenade launcher / mortar

#

its 8 by default

spare cobalt
#

wow first time I see someone think dusk is Quake 2 huut

#

but yea probably meant the grenade launcher

Wait, I'm picking up so many grenades, why can't I use em 😂 Thanks guys!

so i finished getting competionist rank in every level of episode 1 and 2 and there's real fun begins

#

i have no idea where secrets can be placed in episode 3 cause levels are more bigger, longer and harder

strange amount of people in the replies for that tweet seem to think duskdude is a young guy when he has a full gray beard

shy stag
upbeat pecan
#

E3 has some wonky sections, but I think the difficulty is pretty on par with e2. There is a definite bump up going from e1 to e2/e3 tho

shy stag
#

can i ask a question?

upbeat pecan
#

sure?

shy stag
#

if i am going for "Don't Drop It" achievement am i supposed to take soap and put it back or just look it?

upbeat pecan
#

you have to pick it up

shy stag
#

oh no

#

also another question

#

after picking up soap do i have to finish level or i can leave the level?

mild ginkgo
#

you can leave the level

#

you just have to touch it

not a lot to work off of there

do you happen to have citrix workspace installed on your pc

yes actually for school

ok thats whats doing it then

luckily, theres a workaround

#

Sorry but until raytracing becomes an actual affordable rendering technique its a gimmick to me

crimson folio
#

gimmick

#

just get moneys lolz

olive cloud
#

obviously they're going to get cheaper but i understand why people would not want to invest in a card because it really is a gimmick rn. Waiting for devs to implement RTX with thought instead of slappin it into their game

viscid lion
#

Imo ray tracing is an incredible bit of technology that even retro style games can really benefit from. Hopefully it'll become more accessible going forward

undone jay
#

Right now its really just a marketing gimmick

#

Sure it might look nice but at the cost of performance

#

As well as a months worth of rent

upbeat pecan
#

Ray tracing will likely become pretty standard and used in a lot of ways. Its just gonna take awhile to be mainstream like most new stuff. I seem to be about 7-10 years behind the technology curve so I'm excited to experience Ray tracing in 2030

thats sdk only

i think

is that a console command

also does it enable flying

?

upbeat pecan

nbufo enables flying in the non sdk

and nearly all levels you can get out of bounds and fly around to view it

you can use + or - (by default) to remove the HUD too if youre making level panning shots for a vid or somethin

could be a cameo in another new blood game

You may be able to use it on MacOS via Proton or something similar

If you set the game to use sprites instead of models it removes the animation interpolation from enemies
