so we adapt to the paradigms in place already

random dune
#

got you, thanks

mild ginkgo
#

for things that are 100% "from scratch" like the dusk sdk for example

#

the model has changed several times over, and evolves to the most up to date tools @prisma halo can use lol

prisma halo
#

Yeah the SDK basically evolves alongside Unity lol

mild ginkgo
#

keep in mind a lot of the code decisions we have to make regarding unity are heavily rate limited by their decision making

prisma halo
#

It's using C# 9 currently and I've backported several things from .NET 5

random dune
#

yeah I understand

upbeat pecan
#

That's fair, it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination. Rage inducing it can be.

grave saddle
#

Those rats are my scorn. Mortar is required.

upbeat pecan
#

For Duskmare I always found the soldier wave the worst. After that pretty smooth until the goat wave, then you're in pretty good shape to clear the rest as long as you keep distance on the bosses.

i did and i got my shitty roles back you asshole

#

peeps hyped big john so much but he was lame

jade root
#

say a no no word

shut the fuck up you dumb vtuber

#

he took my rivets up the ass

Big John greatest enemy in amid evil

amber bluff

#

Imagine using the riveter

crimson folio
#

the game is a little eager to give you the riveter, was I not supposed to use it?

crimson folio
lapis widget
#

We only use soap here

crimson folio
#

where is soup in erebus reactor?

#

i only found it in escher labs

amber bluff
#

jump down the canyon

#

there's a lot of soup there

grave saddle
#

Plenty.

#

If you truly want an answer, you may find it atop one of the pillars.

crimson folio
#

when the ceiling opened I was liek "aw yeah time for a boss fight"
then big john showed up, said some funny stuff, then died like a bitch

grave saddle
#

You find many bolts in that level, shoot at your feet until you reach the proper elevation, if required.

#

Or use the riveter to launch yourself up there.

crimson folio
#

I did find a lot of crossbow ammo

#

I wish there was more levels in the ruins

#

Ep3

crimson folio
#

bosses so far have been pretty disappointing but everything else is on point

amber bluff
#

shut up

#

big john

#

is a fucking legend

grave saddle
#

Big John is the man.

#

Besides, if you don't like fighting the bosses, play it on Duskmare.

lapis widget
#

Big John is so good that my game crashed the first time I beat him

crimson folio
#

Im assuming everything is harder on duskmare not just bosses

amber bluff
#

everything kills you in 1 hit on duskmare

grave saddle
#

Yes, indeed. Faster projectiles, one-tap enemies...

crimson folio
#

im already playing on second highest difficulty

amber bluff
#

cero miedo is easy

crimson folio
#

tried ep1 on normal and it was too easy

amber bluff
#

theres a massive gap between cm and duskmare

grave saddle
#

Cero Miedo is the fairest hard difficulty.

crimson folio
#

cero miedo is balanced well except for the bosses which are still easy

grave saddle
#

You dare blaspheme the name of Big John?

autumn pendant
#

Wait until the final boss

#

Or should I say, penultimate boss

crimson folio
#

I mean, Dusk is going for that old school shooter vibe right?
so I suppose having mediocre bosses is fitting

amber bluff
#

big john isnt mediocre

crimson folio
#

he was pretty mediocre

mild ginkgo
#

The mediocre bosses are on purpose yes

grave saddle
#

Heretic.

lapis widget
amber bluff
#

big john is NOT mEIDOCRE

crimson folio
#

big john is a big boy

#

v big boy so proud of him

amber bluff
#

big boy with a bigger heart

mild ginkgo
#

In fact, you don't need to fight any of the bosses but the last one

#

You can just run past them and leave the level

crimson folio
#

hm, thats not very oldschool but ok

grave saddle
#

Sure it is!

#

Don't you remember the Cyberdemon in DOOM II?

crimson folio
#

I remember the Cyberdemon in Doom 1

#

which you had to kill to finish the episode

#

and the spider mastermind in ep3

#

in Blood also, you needed to kill the bosses to end the episode

jade root
mild ginkgo
#

Yeah, and he knew that

grave saddle
#

What they lack in difficulty they make up for in presentation.

mild ginkgo
#

So he didn't bother trying to force it

crimson folio
#

good boss fight I suppose would need more elaborate AI to react to the player as well as more than a few attacks and behaviors

grave saddle
#

Cyberdemon literally has one attack.

#

As does the Spider Mastermind.

jade root
#

two*

crimson folio
#

never said Cyberdemon was a good boss

jade root
#

CD can do a stomp

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah, boss fights have ALWAYS been a weak point in first person shooters

crimson folio
#

cyberdemon was neat for the time but its easy now that we know how to circle strafe

grave saddle
#

DOOM I and II Cyberdemon.

mild ginkgo
#

It wasn't until recently they started getting fun

jade root
#

yes

#

the doom 1 and 2 cyberdemon has a stomp melee

grave saddle
#

That sucker cannot stomp, otherwise punching him out wouldn't have worked.

lapis widget
#

thank you,i have now realized that every boss i have fought is in fact shit

crimson folio
#

doom 1 and 2 cyberdemon only does rocket attack

#

unless you think brutal doom is the true doom or something

grave saddle
#

I personally don't mind Dusk's boss fights. I find it cathartic to kite and weave as the behemoth can do nothing about it.

crimson folio
#

Dusk having weak bosses doesnt diminish the game, but I still think of what could have been

#

since many other aspects of the game are quite strong, bosses stand out

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah, that's definitely the case

#

No argument from us lol

grave saddle
#

Certainly.

#

The bosses are lackluster. Which, while purposeful in their design, were the resources available, I don't doubt they'd have been at least competent.

mild ginkgo
#

However, because I work here, I have to shill, if you want a game with good boss fights, you can try ultrakill :)

lapis widget
grave saddle
#

I would play Ultrakill if I liked the feel.

grave saddle
#

I love the aesthetic.

crimson folio
#

ill wait until Ultrakill is out of early access

grave saddle
#

... But I can't get a grip of its combat..

#

Also, Ultrakill has a demo.

#

Play that.

mild ginkgo
#

Completely fair on all fronts

#

Well the demo doesn't have the cool boss fights

grave saddle
#

No, but the demo has the movement.

stone thistle
#

Ultrakill best </shill>

grave saddle
#

Which is more important than the cool fights.

crimson folio
#

I did try the demo, wasnt down with the visual style to be honest

mild ginkgo
#

We can also wait to see what modders do for dusk boss fights

grave saddle
#

Oh dear lord.

amber bluff
#

bigger john

stone thistle
#

Smol John

glad sedge
jade root
#

huh i guess he doesnt have a stomp

#

just died like 10 times on tower of babyl tryna get it

crimson folio
#

id have the bosses react to the player somehow
like if the player is camping or using cover a lot, the boss would wait rather than be baited

grave saddle
#

Dusk '89 better have boss fights that make me tear my hair out as I try to guess their gimmicks.

stone thistle
#

CD has a stomp in Brutal Doom, not regular

#

@jade root

jade root
#

yes i saw thanks for the ping

grave saddle

Hmm...

oh

disappointing tbh

#

thought it was gonna be more clever

stone thistle

Oh is it target and harass one specific person o' clock already?

mild ginkgo

We'll make good boss fights for dusk 3

The IoS fight in Eternal was honestly really good

crimson folio
#

hm, I felt more like I was fighting everything but the boss in that fight

stone thistle
#

@lapis widget fight me

amber bluff
#

kukulkan is good shit

#

super chaotic

lapis widget
amber bluff
#

aka perfect for sam

crimson folio
#

the IoS itself was just a big health bar with a lot of adds to get in your way

stone thistle
#

Yes but it was a big giant thing to shoot at!

#

What more could you possibly want in a DOOM game?!

grave saddle
#

... An engaging fight.

#

One that I can use the damned BFG on.

stone thistle
#

Out.

grave saddle
#

It is incredibly stupid that the Marauder is resistant to super weapons.

#

Like, if I want to waste a shot on him, fucking let me.

lapis widget
#

or is he aethink

glad sedge
crimson folio
#

theres a lot about Doom Eternal that bothers me including that
like so many aspects of the game feel cheap but people defend it cuz "its challenging" and "you just suck at the game"

stone thistle
crimson folio
#

bringing it back to Dusk, every time I die in Dusk it feels like its my own fault
but in Doom Eternal it feels like the game pulled the rug from under me because I didnt do the exact thing it wanted me to do

grave saddle
#

Like the movement-reducing sludge that hinders movement in a movement shooter?

stone thistle
grave saddle
#

I've gotten to the point that I know exactly what kills me in Dusk when playing on Duskmare, even if they're not visible.

bronze mulch
#

I dont know what yall are talking about, Doom Eternal is great. Beat that game 3 times on multiple difficulties. I have never died unfairly. Maybe git gud?

upbeat pecan
#

and strip the infighting damage from the expirements since they kinda just wrecking crew any other enemies

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah could be interesting

upbeat pecan
#

or add in resistances to guns in a rip off of quake

jade root
#

DoomE fans cant take any criticism towards the game

#

its either "ur bad lmao" or "u just dont understand"

stone thistle
#

I mean, I'm still a fan of the game

jade root
#

same here

stone thistle
#

But I'll definitely criticize it for where it falls short, especially after the expectations that 2016 set

jade root
#

its prolly my least fave doom game but i still like it a lot

crimson folio
#

I enjoyed DE for what it was, but it has a lot of issues, way too many to just pass off

pulsar zinc
#

eternal is my personal favorite game. especially since it completely changed the way i looked at game design. my least favorite doom game is definitely 3 and then probably 2016 right after.

#

also the sludge is good imo. it makes you think about how you approach different areas. it definitely isn't implimented well all the time, but in some areas like Arc Complex it does a great job at pushing the player. Since it incentivizes you to find ways to falter enemies so they can't get close, or to use the meat hook tech in order to stay airborne.

#

other times it's implimented in a really boring way like in exultia

#

also replayed e2m3. this level is awesome.

polar plume
#

sludge stinky

#

it sticks to my soul as well as my soles

pulsar zinc
#

i definitely get why people don't like it. but imo a lot of the criticisms for eternal aren't that valid. sadly there's a lot of toxic fans who try to pull that stupid git gud shit which just ends up turning a lot of people off.

#

it doesn't help or bring anything to the table when they act all condescending

grave saddle
#

I've played enough of Eternal (practically beat it, got the Unmakyr as well) enough to know it's not my type of game.

#

The movement stuff they did was a little wack.

pulsar zinc
#

mhm that's totally fair as well. personally i've beaten it around 50 times on UV and I love it. But it definitely isn't for everyone.

lapis widget
#

DoomE movement is more modern than retro imo

pulsar zinc
#

definitely

lapis widget
#

More tf2 than say quake (might be a shit take tho)

grave saddle
#

Is this to say Titanfall or Team Fortress?

lapis widget
#

Titianfall

grave saddle
#

I figured.

polar plume
#

i was going to say

pulsar zinc
#

tf2 as in titanfall 2? i definitely get that. it's one reason why i loved mastering the games movement mechanics. helped me so much in TAG when using meat hook tech to launch myself and stay airborne

grave saddle
#

Still, attributing Team Fortress to Eternal is a funny thought.

#

And a shit take.

#

I guess you could compare 2016 and Eternal to, like, TFClassic and TF2.

#

But that's a stretch.

lapis widget
polar plume
#

i see team fortress 2 and my monkey brain neurons activate

crimson folio
#

anyone think E1M4 could be spliced into ep2 with only different enemies and it wouldnt be out of place

grave saddle
#

Possibly? I like its introduction in episode one.

#

The whole episode had you delving deeper into the industrial side of Dusk until episode two dropped all pretenses.

crimson folio
#

e1m4 feels more industrial than the three levels after it

pulsar zinc
#

does it? i don't mind personally. the level itself is fine.

grave saddle
#

You've also got to remember you fell down a deep, underground mine or crypt.

#

In E1M3.

#

Naturally, you'd have to find your way out of there.

#

It could've ended with a ladder out, but I like Steamworks.

#

It not only serves as a segue into Sawdust, but it starts to show the player that the architecture itself is not stone.

#

It can, and will, fluctuate.

#

Besides, I still think it plays into the "swamp horror" that episode one was shooting for.

#

The Steamworks aren't an industrial factory or machine like the Tresher or the Grainery.

#

It's just a dreary place in which monsters make their domain.

crimson folio
#

I think setting wise it could have come a little later in the episode

#

like right before or after e1m7

stone thistle
#

Just to clarify again, we don't actually enter Dusk until the end of E1 right?

grave saddle
#

Likely not the city limits, no.

crimson folio
#

I think dusk was just the town at the end of ep1

grave saddle
#

But I'd consider that little bit of country near to Dusk as... At least a nearby area.

#

In which the farm and house Dusk Dude escapes from take place.

stone thistle
#

Yeah, its influence just spreads to the "countryside" area out of it

grave saddle
#

... And the swamp.

#

I can't count how many times that rat at the beginning has killed me of Duskmare because I keep forgetting it exists.

crimson folio
#

Dusk levels are pretty short but feel like they cover a lot of ground

grave saddle
#

Sawdust drags on a bit for me.

#

I like Sawdust, its overall atmosphere is great.

#

But for its length, it feels a lot longer.

stone thistle
#

The levels that are designed for pure atmosphere (Escher Labs, Flesh Grinder, most of late-E3) stretch themselves out, but they still have good pace

#

Escher Labs was definitely my favorite

grave saddle
#

Yeah, but those never feel dragged out.

stone thistle
#

Yeah

grave saddle
#

Maybe I've just played it too many times.

#

I've streamed the entirety of episode one to friends as a demonstration of the game.

#

Which I don't personally think spoils too much.

pulsar zinc
#

Even my first playthrough, none of the levels felt like they dragged. Usually pretty short and it would never take me longer than 15 mins.

grave saddle
#

Me neither, but I secret hunt. It's not just the secrets, though.

#

When I'm secret hunting, I know I'm hunting.

#

The map would've ended a lot sooner if I had skipped the secrets.

crimson folio
#

some ep1 levels feel kinda forgettable

#

like I completely forgot the mine level at first

pulsar zinc
#

Mhm. I'm inclined to agree actually. Ep 1 in general is just fine for me. But the game really picks up and has tons of banger levels in e2 and e3.

grave saddle
#

Purposefully, I'd assume.

pulsar zinc
#

Yeah

lapis widget
#

most peoples consenus is that ep1 is good,ep2 is ok but the worst out of the 3,and ep3 is the best

grave saddle
#

That's most people. I personally think episode two is amazing.

#

Episode three is objectively the best out of design, difficulty, and story, though.

crimson folio
#

ep2 definitely not worse than ep1

#

ep2 is already 10/10 for me
except for big john

pulsar zinc
#

Hm. Personally 1 is the weakest for me.

#

The only level i can say that i dislike in e2 is e2m4.

lapis widget
#

ep2 felt like it overstays it's welcome

crimson folio
#

ep1 being weakest is something I can live with
if ep1 was actually the best then we'd have a problem

lapis widget
#

love e2m1 tho

pulsar zinc
#

Yeah

crimson folio
#

I couldnt find the secret level in ep2

amber bluff
#

which one was e2m4

#

the first wendigo level?

crimson folio
#

no

pulsar zinc
#

Hm. I guess the reason why i dont like it is because its one of the only levels where i got lost in

pulsar zinc
amber bluff
#

yeah that level sucks

crimson folio
#

I got lost too but when I finally found the way forward I felt stupid since it was obvious

pulsar zinc
#

Me too actually

lapis widget
#

only time i felt like it worked was with the crypt

#

ep3 something idk

#

also i just used the pistols when i dont have a flashlight

pulsar zinc
#

Mhm. In ep3 the only level i remember not liking is the one where you interact with the yellow object and you flip upside down. Just because it gave me motion sickness.

grave saddle
#

I love the Infernal Machine.

#

Yes, your flashlight breaks, but not for very long.

#

After that, the entire map is visceral imagery.

#

Plus...

#

You can just.. Skip the whole thing...

#

With the crossbow.

lapis widget
#

spinny bois

amber bluff
#

creature of steel

grave saddle
#

I didn't like that level in episode three either until I replayed it and knew what I was doing.

crimson folio
#

ep2 of Dusk felt more like the game was stepping away from being a old school homage

#

like I could imagine playing ep1 as a 90s fps, but not ep 2

pulsar zinc
#

I personally liked that

grave saddle
#

It became its own thing.

#

Dusk knows what you think you're getting yourself into.

crimson folio
#

also for the first time the visuals were actually used for something besides invoking nostalgia

grave saddle
#

And deviates from that.

#

This really kicks in in episode two.

crimson folio
#

felt like the abstract setting and environments work better with the lowpoly look

#

I havent played Amid Evil but shots look like it works in the same way

pulsar zinc
#

Definitely. I think the first time I was wowed by dusk is e2m3. I love that level so much.

pulsar zinc
#

Mhm i recommend it. Personally i like amid evil more but mostly because its so unique.

stark hawk
#

It's not even an arena FPS thing, just a perk of pre-'10s shooters in general. You didn't need to unlock weapons in Counter-Strike or Battlefield 1942 either. But now people need unlocks for that dopamine hit because apparently just playing a good game on the merits of its gameplay isn't good enough anymore.

crimson folio
#

I blame CoD4 for popularizing it

stark hawk
#

Yeah, probably. Maybe I'm just blanking but I can't think of a multiplayer FPS with unlocks that was as popular as CoD4 before then

tardy slate
#

the difference with that is that afps are individual
shit like counter srtike makes an emphasis on teamwork

ironically I get exasperated with mp games that have unlocks because it feels like im only playing it for that

stark hawk
tardy slate
#

yeah but some of the most popular fps games don't really have unlocks either
we look at COD or battlefield but they die out quick enough, and then it goes back to the "kick the shit out of the new player untill they leave" stage

Ah, yeah. I'm on the SDK

mild ginkgo

yeah so switch off of that

heady halo

Oh ok.

mild ginkgo

the version of dusk that comes with the SDK is old and stinky

heady halo

Ewww

mild ginkgo
#

that said, it will eventually be updated

heady halo
#

Can't wait. Super excited for it.

mild ginkgo

but the SDK is an alpha atm, so thats why its a bit out of date compared to the main game

#

the next major update will update included base game with it

its in the pipe, you wont be waiting too long

Seriously excited. The potential is nuts. The maps people have made already have been nuts.

OK, that fixed it. Thanks for the help!

playing on dusk of the dead and suddenly RIVETS FUCKING EVERYWHERE!

crimson folio

dusk is a little bit scarier than I thought

it can be for sure

at least during episode 3 in a specific area

no, ep2

it's one of the most fun levels in the game

and the music slaps

I just like having more than a flat environment for an arena

#

A few buildings

#

A rock

#

Maybe a jump pad

storm tundra

there are jump pads

and what do you think Dusk is, a cover shooter?

snow spade

No but It's not fighting in a bloody desert

my best telefrag tho is still telefragging one of the horse bosses in e3m9 by jumping off and teleporting back to the middle where it was

Thats sick

snow spade
#

There's the explanation! It just feels skippable.

heady halo
#

DiD definitely reeks of "My god can we just be done developing this fucking game already"

pulsar zinc
#

Damn im the exact opposite

#

E3m9 is my favorite level in the game lol

heady halo
#

It just feels pretty lazy to me. The other levels are much more iconic to me.

pulsar zinc
#

I appreciate e3m9 because its taking the same concept as dead simple from classic doom, except dialing it up to 11.

#

It takes everything you've learned over the course of the game and pushes you to your limit. Super fun imo.

heady halo
#

It can be fun at times.

grave saddle
#

There is literally a way to skip that level in-level, too.

#

So I think the feeling is mutual.

heady halo
#

Yeah. I'm glad they included that option

pulsar zinc
#

There is?

grave saddle
#

Mmmhm.

crimson folio
#

ok beat episode 2, the guardian was actually an interesting boss fight what with the teleporters
but I accidentally telefragged it

pulsar zinc
#

eiiii

#

telefrag bros

light folio
#

"I accidentally telefragged it" you hear that about the guardian a lot

crimson folio
#

I was literally just trying to run away from it

#

then boom its dead

#

I may be a little disappointed because it was actually feeling challenging unlike the previous bosses

lapis widget
#

Good thing ||you fight it again||

crimson folio
#

was almost like a cat and mouse chase, it was actually an interesting fight

#

Erebus Reactor continues to be my favorite part of episode 2, with Escher Labs as a close second.

light folio
#

Erebus Reactor is fucking dope

lapis widget
#

Eh,I don’t really like it

#

Except for big John of course

#

Most favourite of ep2 for me is probably the dig

pulsar zinc
#

E2M3 and erebus reactor are my favorite levels from e2

grave saddle
#

Erebus is an amazing deathmatch game.

#

Really open.

light folio
#

youre god damn right it is wanna play it in a bit

grave saddle
#

Hell yeah.

gotta go for a quick booze run then ill be good to play

grave saddle
#

I'm play Wolf-3D right now anyway.

light folio
#

what a fucking chad

storm tundra
#

Erebus and Neobabel are both really fun

pulsar zinc
#

my favorite levels are always the big open areas with jump pads

#

cuz theres so much action and enemies in them and its fun to bounce around

light folio
#

yeah the big "arena" levels are some of my favourites too

#

I think it was a mistake to do my first playthrough on Cero Miedo

#

I'm getting my ass kicked

grave saddle

Nah, keep going.

crimson folio
#

the game is too easy below Cero Miedo

grave saddle
#

Indeed.

#

So unless you're completely new to the FPS (or old school FPS) genre, I'd say Cero Miedo is great.

just bhop around like a maniac nothing will ever hit you

Quickswapping guns in Dusk when?

amber bluff
grave saddle
#

Do not tempt me.

mild ginkgo
#

there is already quickswapping in dusk

zealous ocean
#

where is quickswapping in dusk?

amber bluff
#

yeah its just practically useless

crimson folio
#

Doom Eternal had this thing where you could switch weapons before they finish their firing animation and I liked that a lot

amber bluff
#

so does ultrakill

#

thats why we're mentioning it

mild ginkgo
#

press Q

grave saddle
#

Yeah, but it was incredibly skewed.

#

In both games.

amber bluff
#

lol

grave saddle
#

This is fun in a singleplayer campaign, yes.

zealous ocean
#

i want skip reload animation and instantly fire hunt rifle after supershotgun blast

grave saddle
#

But I play primarily DuskWorld now. And I do not want to see that in any form.

mild ginkgo
#

ah, ok, yeah no thats not going to be added

#

its not balanced around that

#

a modder can add it later though

amber bluff
#

cant you kinda do that with the cigar

#

by like 1 second or something

#

or am i tripping

grave saddle
#

Exactly my point, though. Imagine you're b-hopping around, having fun, and a massive, soulless husk comes up and decimates you even quicker than they already can.

#

From across the map.

#

Sounds fair, no?

crimson folio
#

sounds even less balanced than for singleplayer

grave saddle
#

If you could cancel a shot from the super shotgun, you could cancel a shot for the hunting rifle.

#

Making that an automatic 100 damage dealing super-weapon.

zealous ocean
grave saddle
#

Guess what? Rivets take time to connect.

#

The hunting rifle does not.

mild ginkgo
#

its not something we're going to be adding, but itll be interesting to see it in a mod perhaps

#

i know doom eternal players are big fans of it

light folio
#

quickswapping would be really silly in dusk go play gunZ

grave saddle
#

I would like to see a mod with DuskWorld (or gamemode) where it's like Quake's instant gib mode with the railgun.

#

That'd be fun.

#

Plus it'd give me an excuse to be semi-good with the hunting rifle.

light folio
#

fuck yes we need this

#

dusk instagib would be dope

#

so would ctf but we'd never get enough players for that

zealous ocean
#

And more game-modes in general: Capture the flag, duel, tdm

crimson folio
#

Duskworld in general is pretty underdeveloped

grave saddle
#

Dueling is already kind of in the game.

#

Just lock the player limit at two and have at it.

#

Team deathmatch I'd never (personally) find myself playing.

#

But, like, a king of the hill where you must hold an object for the longest period of time would be neat.

zealous ocean
#

Well, yes, kind of, ctf also would be fun

grave saddle
#

(To play off your CTF)

#

Objective based AFPS games kind of turn me off.

#

But a king of the hill would be neat.

zealous ocean
#

or king of the hill yes

light folio
#

ctf is really dope in games with hella movement though

#

whenever i actually find a lobby for ctf in TItanfall 2 i get a big stiffy

zealous ocean
#

Also defrag

grave saddle
#

I'm not opposed to trying it in Dusk, I'd make the maps designed around it designed around Dusk's awesome movement, though.

zealous ocean
#

Man i want defrag in Dusk. movement in this game is bonkers

light folio
#

oooooh defrag would be dope for sure

grave saddle
#

With a lesser focus on combat arenas.

light folio
#

definitely thats what they did with quake

#

having ctf focused maps

zealous ocean
#

Just pure bhopping and jumpadding on complicated layouts

#

making flips and all shit

light folio
#

one day i will learn how to make vidya so i can make a defrag game

grave saddle
#

I want more maps where sliding is more prevalent.

#

The only map I can think of is Temple Mystia.

zealous ocean
#

riveter boosting and crossbow flying

light folio
#

sliding is kinda underused

grave saddle
#

And that's just to get the Hallowed Health.

#

Something you can get with movement anyway.

light folio
#

i love those sneaky slide spots on temple mystica

#

i feel like im the only one who likes that map

grave saddle
#

I like it.

#

I like the "tricky" aspects of the map.

#

Like activating the trap with the super shotgun?

light folio
#

yeah the tp and the trap are fun

grave saddle
#

Or the teleporters.

light folio
#

i need to practice the map more to come up with greasy strats for duel

grave saddle
#

Just use my playstyle against me.

#

Forego your previous notions of "slick and badass" movement and join me in snorting cocaine.

zealous ocean
#

Imagine map that has like certain platforms or coverage that allows you to keep your momentum and velocity while sliding and you have to utilize it to get across certain areas and buttomless pits

grave saddle
#

Similar to how Ultrakill's sliding automatically works?

#

Kind of like surfing in CS:GO?

zealous ocean
#

yes, kind of

#

like surfing in CS:GO

light folio
#

i wish dusk sliding was more like ultrakill

#

i feel like it wouldnt even break the game too much

grave saddle
#

Probably not.

#

I also wish, and I know this is a toggle... I'm too used to it, that crouching wouldn't kill your movement.

light folio
#

slide hopping would be kinda busted

grave saddle
#

It would be.

#

But I more so want to slide into a jump.

#

Keep the momentum of that slide and continue on jumping.

zealous ocean
#

I see how this could grow up into dash mechanic in good hands

amber bluff
#

dusktrakill

grave saddle
#

The biggest thing I dislike about Ultrakill is its style-meter.

#

Yes, it's a dopamine hit... When you do it right.

#

Other times... You feel like you're underachieving.

zealous ocean
#

I like to imagine style meter in DOOM Eternal: its encourage ypu to just...desolate the maps like fuckin god

light folio
#

it's kind of designed for that though

#

definitely a game that says "master this shit or fucking die"

grave saddle
#

Which some people really like.

#

I am not one of those people. I really dislike that feeling. There's no... Progression, in a sense.

light folio
#

i get that

#

i'm that guy who goes for s ranks in RE games so i kinda dig that shit

#

Ultrakill feels like it's from some laterante timeline where capcom made fps games

grave saddle
#

And it sucks. Ultrakill does so much right.

zealous ocean
#

Also, at least for me: "master that shit or die" or "git gud" is a lot more motivating in Dusk and DOOM like a games. In Rainbow Six or CS:GO its just tedious

grave saddle
#

I love the movement, the guns, the atmosphere, the enemies!

#

It drops the ball in its systems.

light folio
#

i think you can turn the style meter off

#

its mostly just there because hakitas a dmc fanboy and to encourage players to be sick

#

and creative

grave saddle
#

Well... I love and dislike the movement, really. Partially my fault because of how I tried playing it initially.

#

The movement shit it allows for is awesome.

#

You can get away with a lot of stuff in that game.

zealous ocean
#

combo meters in early GoW games

grave saddle
#

So much so that it feels... Really floaty.

#

I don't feel grounded in Ultrakill, which is rich since I hardly ever touch the ground in Dusk.

light folio
#

i think its floatym to encourage using slam more

grave saddle
#

Which sounds intuitive in the design docs.

#

Sigh. I've also been pushed away from the game due to both my boyfriend and his friends singing its highest praises. It seems like everyone loves this game and it's... Really polarizing.

#

I've given the game (the demo) more chances since with a far more open mind, but my first impression was... Quite frankly awful.

#

I expected a challenge, but I expected it from the enemies, not the movement.

amber bluff
#

yeah the demo is pretty horrible tbh

mild ginkgo
#

yeah im not super into the demo either haha

grave saddle
#

Seems both Ultrakill and Dusk have really rocky starts.

#

I'm not the biggest fan of E1M1. At least its opening room.

mild ginkgo
#

oh yeah that room is RIGHT into the fire lmao

grave saddle
#

I like the idea of opening in a room with danger.

amber bluff
#

i dont remember the last time i played either e1m1 or prelude

grave saddle
#

But only sickles against leathernecks?

mild ginkgo
#

the easy answer is to use the objects in the room, but its hard to communicate that right away

grave saddle
#

I've started using the objects around them to kill them. But that's not going to be apparent to a new player whatsoever.

#

Mmmmhm.

mild ginkgo
#

thats why the player starts overhealed lol

#

only in that level

grave saddle
#

All I hear is two hundred health for the first four levels nowadays.

mild ginkgo
#

hahah

grave saddle
#

It's personally really embarrassing to take damage in E1M1.

mild ginkgo
#

lmfao

grave saddle
#

E1M2 is a little easier, due to the abundance of scarecrows and black phillips...

#

And E1M3 has all of the above.

#

And a wall-hacking Intoxigator. Sucker shot me through a wall. Only thing I can think of happening was it poking its head through the wall and shooting me that way.

mild ginkgo
#

thats definitely what happened

#

which is kinda funny

pulsar zinc
#

its why i love ultrakill so much. it does very similar things but with its own twist

#

anyways, still replaying dusk. finished e3m3 and idk. i really wish i could like this level more but when it becomes an underwater level it kinda stops being fun

#

the beginning is definitely pretty nice and its aesthetically pleasing

grave saddle
#

There's water in E2M3?

pulsar zinc
#

huh

#

oh my bad

#

ment e3m3

grave saddle
#

Ah... Right.

pulsar zinc
#

mhm

grave saddle
#

Mmn, I kind of agree.

light folio
#

the boss sucks

grave saddle
#

I wish there was more to the water.

pulsar zinc
#

its still a good level imo. but idk i thought the beginning of it was the most fun

light folio
#

i guess that's just dusk in general though

pulsar zinc
#

mhm

#

im probably gonna replay amid evil after this

grave saddle
#

I like the achievement. Just wish we got to see the image first.

#

May have helped in figuring it out.

pulsar zinc
# light folio definitely a game that says "master this shit or fucking die"

Biggest reason why i love these games like eternal, dusk, ultrakill, and amid evil is because i'm finally able to play a game that actually respects me as a player. If i dont respect the games systems then i will die. Even on normal. I can't just mindlessly spam and breeze through everything. Which i appreciate because having to think makes the game more engaging. Games like this being challenging enough to push the player into its systems even on normal, is the pinnacle of good game design. I'm so tired of most modern games bs where the game doesnt punish you for playing like a dumbass. Thats why why i like games where you either respect its systems or die like dusk. Its refreshing.

light folio
#

you should give viscerafest a try it's legitimately brutal

grave saddle
#

Oh, yes.

#

I love Viscerafest.

light folio
#

i'm no pro but im competent enough at the genre and i got filtered by the first level on the ultraviolence equivalent

pulsar zinc
#

Im considering it. I'm really stingy about buying games in early access which is why ultrakill is the only early access game i've ever owned. But viscerafest does look rly good. So its tempting.

light folio
#

went down to normal

#

it starves your resources but gives you an actually good melee attack and bhopping

#

bhopping is MANDATORY

craggy perch
#

Vicerafest is good, the only bad thing is checkpoints

#

Cannot stand it

light folio
#

yeah the checkpoint system is super dumb

grave saddle
#

I disagree, but then again, I enjoy pistol starting DOOM II wads.

light folio
#

grave saddle
#

I don't make saves in these games.

pulsar zinc
#

craggy perch
#

I should sleep or something.

craggy perch
#

Sleep schedule broke

#

Literally cannot sleep

light folio
#

i work night shifts, function off caffeine and stare at screens too much what is sleep

craggy perch
#

Yeah, I hear screens fuck up your sleep

#

That would explain a lot

grave saddle
#

But.. Yeah. I don't mind Viscerafest's inherent lack of saving.

#

Pretty much any scenario can be beaten without taking damage, so if I must practice a room, I'll do it after learning of its danger.

craggy perch
#

Yeah, I would agree, normally

#

But that fu***** ghost

#

It pisses me off so much

light folio
#

i like that we both have cursed ultrakill pfps

thin ginkgo
craggy perch
#

Well, I like yours too. I made this one myself

light folio
#

nice

drowsy needle
#

i think i did the other episodes the same way, it was kinda easy

grave saddle
#

Note that I said wads.

#

Pistol starting vanilla DOOM I and II is, as you said, kind of easy.

#

Things like Valiant and Sunlust require a little more tact, I would figure.

drowsy needle
#

oh yeah, pistol started plutonia?

#

did you try that...hm

grave saddle
#

And yes, what I have played of Plutonia, I have pistol started.

drowsy needle
#

i want to do that for some reason, but i havent finished it yet so maybe soon

grave saddle
#

The best part about pistol starts is you can do them whenever.

#

And start at any mission you please.

drowsy needle
#

i also liked the viscerafest checkpoint system

#

i forced me to be way more careful

#

i played the old demo i still have the zip but the game ea release is different in different ways

#

" is different in different ways"
-me

grave saddle
#

I suppose it makes some sense.

#

The point was made, no use being pedantic over phrasing.

crimson folio
#

speaking of doom 2 wads, know any good slaughter wads that dont lock you in a room with a hundred enemies and expect you to kill them with just the shotguns and four rockets?

grave saddle
#

Sunlust.

crimson folio
#

any others?

#

dont say Sunder, fuck Sunder

grave saddle
#

I give you Sunlust with a caveat, it is known for being quite difficult.

#

But it has excellent fights.

crimson folio
#

bonus points if it doesnt end with icon of sin

grave saddle
#

Valiant also had some good fights.

crimson folio
#

I know sunlust already

grave saddle
#

But I'd say it's more focused on its level design. Which I can appreciate.

#

But slaughters like that in Map04 can't be forgotten.

#

Plus, it has a few custom enemies.

#

Which is always nice.

crimson folio
#

ill take a look at valiant

grave saddle
#

I do recommend it over Sunlust.

#

Personal choice, I also find it easier.

its like 2000 soap bars stacked in the vague shape of a human

I always found it funny how DuskDude just gets up from having meat hooks in his back with no permanent handicap. Sometimes I think the meathooks only made him stronger.

#

From what I can tell it's got lore, but it's pretty much all in the game. It doesn't pull a Halo where you have to read 50 books to get why things are the way they are.

#

So far what I can say is confirmed is that Duskdude is a treasure hunter, his family is dead due to something the cult probably did, Nyarlathotep is just toying with everybody which results in everything that happened at the town of Dusk, and then Duskdude kills the cult leader, thus taking his place at Nyarlathotep's side no matter how much he didn't want to.

dusk dude isnt a treasure hunter, hes just coming back to his city

Huh, I thought that was the explanation for the whole "Gaining morale by finding riches" thing.

I was wondering why this sounded so familiar.

#

stone thistle
#

Didn't Andrew put one of the DUSK riffs in a TAG song?

#

or something similar to one?

hulshult did the ost for tag

#

or some of the songs

heady halo
#

Hulshult and Levy did

#

He used the same riff in a track for dusk than he did for quake champions

#

Which is just based off the riff from the quake 1 theme

I don't know about you guys I'd be pretty demoralized if I was hung from meathooks jammed into my spine

Should I use spoiler tags for a quick theory I have involving the ending?

lapis widget
#

highlight and the option should appear

weary igloo
#

||So the third to last level ends with the two hooks you started on with and the "Complete the cycle" line, right?||

#

I may have forgot

lapis widget
#

yes i think it was in homecoming

weary igloo
#

Okay the more I think of this theory the less sense it makes

#

I was gonna say it but I need to do a bit more thinking

light folio
#

im always excited to hear wild fan theories

pulsar zinc
#

maybe when u get on the hooks again e3m9 is a dream sequence

snow spade
#

It would make sense
It's the only level that seems to be outright not physical, rather than simply like that MC Escher painting

opal plover
#

And the secret exit has you succumb, almost like duskdude is fighting to not die from the hooks
