Amid Evil and Ion Fury getting expansions
now where is Dusk's?

[lapis widget]

Dusk 82

[light folio]

am i the only one who finds ion fury kind of meh

[lapis widget]

no

[light folio]

its solid i just think i kinda drags and needs way more enemy variety

listening to the same cybercultits shout "fan out!" at you for 10 hours gets kinda grating

stoked for the amid evil expansion though

also who needs dusk expansions when were getting the sdk well just make our own expansions

[crimson folio]

cant say I agree
yes it does go for a little too long but I love how smooth the gameplay is and how satisfying the weapons are

just the basic shotgun might be the one of the best shotguns ive ever used

[light folio]

the loverboy is probably my favourite pistol in an fps

[crimson folio]

there is actually a lot of enemy variety, but they are spread a bit thin across a very long campaign

Ion Fury doesnt do the thing Dusk and Amid Evil do with having new enemies per episode

[spare cobalt]

it does get pretty samey. it's also pretty long so you really feel it too

still really enjoy it alot

[light folio]

like compare it to amid evil where each of the 7 episodes has entirely unique enemies

gotta learn a new combat dance on new terrain with each episode

[spare cobalt]

everything dies when struck with the axe so I dont care

[atomic pasture]

so i did a bit of experimenting with the crossbow

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/722353875230785571/847227274827005962/20210527003502_1.jpg?width=1202&height=676

in duskworld

and i managed to get away completely from the kill barrier lol

a shame the the multiplayer for the game is ded

[grave saddle]

Have you paid any attention to #454345257027502082 ?

[atomic pasture]

i dont see such a channel anywhere

[grave saddle]

That would explain it.

[lapis widget]

#lfg-signup

[atomic pasture]

thx

[grave saddle]

Come to think of it, I don't see the use in falling infinitely in DuskWorld.

[atomic pasture]

to be honest the only thing that's gonna happen is you not dying at all

so the only good use is if there were a limited lives mode to troll a guy

but thats about all i can think of for use hypothetically

[grave saddle]

Limited lives mode in DuskWorld would suck.

[atomic pasture]

just thought it was funny

oh absolutely

just gave the only decent reason to use this thing i found while trying to see how far i can get away from the arena before i fall to my death

[grave saddle]

Yeah, the crossbow is kind of busted.

[atomic pasture]

its a jetpack that can shoot through walls

[light folio]

kind of bad in a head to head fight in the open though

i like that the crossbow is powerful but kinda situational

[atomic pasture]

but ill give it this, its really good at killing campers if someone forgets the game theyre in lol

[light folio]

lmao yeah

[atomic pasture]

mf you're gonna sit behind that huge wall? ye no i got majik

[light folio]

wanna play some duskworld? i can start a server you sound into it

please dont spam that ping

[light folio]

its nice that the edges of the trap are safe in temple mystica

would be kind of dumb otherwise

[keen turret]

has someone made aerowalk in duskworld yet

[mild ginkgo]

funny enough that was our first test map

lol

we didnt ship it with the game because we didnt want to deal with copyright concerns

[keen turret]

yea its the boomer shooter equiv of dust 2

if theres mapping tools theres probably aerowalk

do id/bethesda whatever even own the copyright to aerowalk

considering it was made by some swedish guy in 1998

[mild ginkgo]

no idea, we didnt even want to chance it

[keen turret]

yeah totally fair

[mild ginkgo]

someone will add it when theyre able to

[crimson folio]

bruh

could have just said "Doom fans"

[mild ginkgo]

whats weirder is i think he updated the title of that video

i think it used to say doom fans

[crimson folio]

disgustang

[keen turret]

yeah i notice that most youtubers will mess around with the title/thumbnail for an hour or two

to see what does the best analytically

[keen turret]

yea i assume ur right cos thats wht the thumbnail says

prob just edited title for algo boost

[upbeat pecan]

probably. Games are so different lol

[light folio]

I can't wait to play duskified quake maps

[crimson folio]

Dusk certainly has more in common with Doom 1&2 than Doom Eternal

[crimson folio]

you can already

just that nobody wants to go through the effort of changing all those gameplay entities for balancing

[light folio]

against people

[crimson folio]

ohhhhh

yeah thats gonna take years come back later

[light folio]

weeeee fusillade

fusillade go brrrrrrr

[keen turret]

definitely has more in common with quake than either of those

[crimson folio]

well this was specially regarding "Doom"

[light folio]

yeah but nobody knows what quake is because it didn't get a relevant reboot

[keen turret]

yeah for sure

i dont really feel there's much of a comparison

[crimson folio]

"Quake" is mostly associated with deathmatch stuffs these days

[keen turret]

doom eternal just feels like glorified resource management

shoot the sticky bomb at the cacodemon, ok use the plasma gun on the shield guy, ok i've fired twice i'm out of ammo now i have to chainsaw

[crimson folio]

quake 4: doom 3 2, mostly that stroggification scene

[keen turret]

cool onto the next combat arena

[crimson folio]

yeah thats one of the things that turned me off Eternal, its really not the Doom I recognize anymore

and thats fine I suppose, but its not what I wanted from a Doom game

should have packed more kickass arenas

[keen turret]

and why is there so much shitty first person platforming lol

[crimson folio]

nice filter

[crimson folio]

fax

its not even hard its just so boring

arena -> platforming -> arena

they took out the complex levels and exploration, so they needed to fill the space with something

[keen turret]

jump press shift twice right click at the wall climb up slowly

rinse repeat

[crimson folio]

the arena to arena design reminds me more of Serious Sam or Painkiller than Doom

and even then those games did it a bit more seamlessly

cant wait for tony's eoa eternal to come out

it'll have its jank but it looks promising & mapping support

Dusk has arenas too but generally its handled better because its not the bulk of the game

[keen turret]

yeah and you can use whatever weapons you want

it's not like oh you have to use the super shotgun on the scarecrow or you're wasting your time

[stone thistle]

Oh hey is it Doom Eternal rant o' clock already?

Hope I'm not late!

[lapis widget]

everyday my friend

[crimson folio]

I think we done for the most part

[lapis widget]

welcome to new blood

[crimson folio]

it was just that video title

[crimson folio]

they didnt even try to hide that in TAG2 😒

[keen turret]

i mean i understand the motivation to try and make every weapon relevant

[crimson folio]

I naturally gravitated towards using the rifle on the flamethrower guys just because it was more efficient
the game didnt force me or else

[stone thistle]

For what it's worth Ultrakill is a far closer comparison to Doom Eternal specifically. Dusk would be something along the lines of Doom 2 with 3's spookiness.

[lapis widget]

one shots them everytime

[crimson folio]

where the quake and the blood

[keen turret]

yeah the fact that they explode when you kill them naturally encourages you to use a ranged weapon

they don't need to shove it down your throat with a weak point or whatever

[stone thistle]

Bad games

[crimson folio]

scalding hot take

Quake was pretty bad ngl

[lapis widget]

revolutionary in terms of tech you cant argue but as a game.......

[crimson folio]

didnt they do the exact same thing with the level chronological order

where episode 1 was the last to be made

and it turns into a slog as you get deeper in deeper

Quake shines when you play usermaps that dont suck

[light folio]

its literally doom but actually 3d this time

[keen turret]

quake shines as a multiplayer game

[stone thistle]

Yup, didn't enjoy it at all. It had Doom 2's problem of absurd level design made only worse with actual 3D maps.

[keen turret]

quake 3 duel is the pinnacle of 1v1 competitive fps as far as i'm concerned

[lapis widget]

doom but 3d,less enemies,and better movment

[light folio]

yeah

[keen turret]

and quake 1 lay a great foundation with the pickup system and the fun movement and a very good rocket launcher

[crimson folio]

doom but 3d, less bloodshed but hey look at the cool new levels isnt that neat and cool guys

[keen turret]

no one is going to argue that quake 1's campaign level design is particularly exemplary

[stone thistle]

And Doom 2's level design, in hindsight, was miserable at worst and decent at best.

[crimson folio]

reluctantly agree

[keen turret]

yea i mean they rushed that shit out the door in a year to capitalise on the success of doom

[crimson folio]

Quake 4 mp is the peak of game design

[keen turret]

and you gotta remember there wasn't really a yardstick at that point

[lapis widget]

quake 4 time

[light folio]

doom 2 really did feel like a cash in

[crimson folio]

Doom 2 is like a base for people to make decent maps on

[light folio]

i hear so many mixed things about quake 4 never played it

[keen turret]

yea in the same way that quake 2 was rushed out the door

[crimson folio]

Quake 4 is... fine

[keen turret]

quake 1 is better than quake 2 in terms of movement and weapons and stuff

but quake 2 had better tech so

push that shit out baby

[light folio]

look at these lighting effects that you dont care about

[crimson folio]

look at the shiny light and the cool shadow bro

[keen turret]

the way enemies react to being hit is pretty cool for sure, and the way they telegraph their attacks

that was pretty neat for 1997

[lapis widget]

rtx in a nutshell

[crimson folio]

Unreal did it better the next year

[light folio]

check it out we gave the smg recoil

[crimson folio]

you should see this quake 2 RTX map i saw

it actually uses RTX for something useful related to gameplay

[keen turret]

yea unreal overshadowed by the unnamed 1998 game, but is def better than q2

[stone thistle]

I mean, yeah, but look at Doom 1's level design - for the most part, maps that looked like actual locations on a futuristic tech base, going so far as to add points of interest in HELL which feel like they belong there.

Then in Doom 2 you have right off the bat Staging Area which is... uh... something.

[crimson folio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK25Ik_eor0

v. cool

[keen turret]

blame Sandy

[crimson folio]

idk man, Doom 1 hell levels were kinda bleh

[light folio]

ill be honest i just mostly play knee deep in the dead

[stone thistle]

I mean, yes, they were, but the idea of a valley shaped like a hand on paper sounds like an actual place you'd see in Hell.

[crimson folio]

I think the only Doom 1 ep3 map I liked was Mt Erebus

[lapis widget]

quake 2 rtx makes it look like a unity asset flip

[stone thistle]

Or a cathedral.

[light folio]

wow that quake 2 map is actually dope

using rtx to enhance gameplay what a concept

[stone thistle]

Hnnnnnng reflective maps

[crimson folio]

I bet serious sam 4 could have used some of those reflections

[light folio]

the cycling animation for the Q2 rail gun is so underwhelming

[stone thistle]

The game DOES have reflections, it's all just covered in dust

...wait no, that's Serious Sam 3

DAMNIT

[crimson folio]

check out broken cubemaps

[lapis widget]

why do does buildings look straight out of 2004

[crimson folio]

comeone stretched out mah bridge

[stone thistle]

Oh jeez

[crimson folio]

because the devs spent more time and money on the tech and voice actors than the actual game

[stone thistle]

Stephan Weyte as Serious Sam?

[crimson folio]

the tech ended up sucking, and the voice performances were mediocre

they spent years working on the terrain engine

and it was only used for two really shitty levels

also it lags the fuck out of the game

[light folio]

design>tech

when will devs learn

[crimson folio]

pretty sure the fancy terrain engine is also the reason theres no planar reflections

even though there was in the previous games

[stone thistle]

On the bright side you'll really get to soak in the terrain when you're holding S.

[crimson folio]

Serious Sam HD the First Encounter
released 2009

way to break your perfectly functional engine

2002

You can blame the loss of staff after SS2 released.

actually even more staff was lost recently

I mean I could blame anything, but they still released a commercial game that was definitely not ready

still months after release the game runs like trash but looks like a 2014 game at best

[azure fjord]

Hey, I just hit the halfway point in my Dusk Cero Miedo pacifist run, is it OK if I post the videos here?

I was going to wait until I finished episode 2, but I figured I might as well share now

[light folio]

ooh this i wanna see

[azure fjord]

here's the commentated playlist. I'm also releasing them uncommentated as whole episodes, so only episode one uncommentated is up rn

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnZ-ck5jMhMQxCtr0-wmcukEl-QF-WZAB

I anticipate much pain in Episode 3, since it's basically nothing but cramped hallways full of enemies that love to bodyblock you and who I cannot remove with guns. But figuring out functional routes will be fun

[dense vigil]

Dusk!
I was late to the party but it sure was a good one.
Just completed the game and I am so darn impressed.
Dusk is constantly rewarding you for being creative and thinking outside the box, I really feel like you can go about any level however you please, I loved having that sense of freedom. The concept of key-hunting seems daunting and dreadful but the level design is so understandable and straightforward that it never seems like a chore.
I really got the impression that the levels were playtested relentlessly because it was very rare that I ever felt “stuck” or confused which is something I feel very often when playing singleplayer games.
This game made me shit bricks!
The dynamic sound design was super cool and I loved how the music seemed to perfectly incapsulate what was happening at the very moment it was happening.
I did not expect Dusk to be as cinematic as it was, moments like getting dropped down to hell on “Old Time Religion” or when you defeat “Son Of Intoxigator” and then have to defeat ANOTHER boss and then just when you think it’s all over the game says “hey have some rats!”
One more very memorable moment was the level “The Unseen” where everyone is dead and everything is quiet, until....
That Level Scared Me Shitless.
Anyway. I was beyond satisfied with my Dusk experience and have been recommended it to many irl and online friends, I’ve even gotten 3 or 4 of them to actually buy it.
Yea. Just thought I’d share my thoughts, amazing stuff.

[light folio]

are you a game journalist?

[dense vigil]

No I’m just a dude

[dire elbow]

A dude who mostly plays TF2.

[dense vigil]

That’s a very kind comparison tho.

[mild ginkgo]

Thanks for playing, really glad you enjoyed it!

(and yes you're totally right, it was playtested to hell and back)

but as long as it landed with you, thats what counts

[dense vigil]

Sure Did! Amazing stuff.

[light folio]

i think the most special thing about the game is that its purely action and gameplay focused while still managing to have moments that are atmospheric and cinematic without distracting from the gameplay

[dire elbow]

Bell started trying to beat levels as fast as possible and now me, him and another friend have been competing for times and it's been a blast.

[light folio]

its right between quake and half life

that's sick

[mild ginkgo]

haha the speedrunning race begins!

[dense vigil]

Yes! E2M1 is our favorite

[light folio]

you guys should try some duskworld too if you wanna get a bit more out of the game

[mild ginkgo]

protip pressing F1 restarts levels if you mess up

[dense vigil]

Yep yep I have a bind for it

[mild ginkgo]

and you can press T to get a timestamp if you wanna measure your progress

[dense vigil]

oooh, did not know that

[mild ginkgo]

dusk has a bunch of dumb hidden features that nobody uses lol

idk what we were thinking

[light folio]

please play duskworld we dont have much of a player base

[mild ginkgo]

[dire elbow]

I think I have T bound to the riveter.

[light folio]

we need some... new blood

someone please flame me for that pun

[dense vigil]

Me and my buds have been playing duskword a lil bit recently, but yea, we’ve been the only ones online.
That’s part of the reason I wanted to join here so we can get some scrimmages going soon!

[thin leaf]

What were some major non gaming influences for dusk?

[light folio]

texas chainsaw probably

[mild ginkgo]

theres a LOT of horror movie references in it if you can spot them

yep thats a big one

[dense vigil]

The Leathernecks are deffy Texas Chainsaw ya

[mild ginkgo]

in fact

E1M1, the name head cheese?

thats the original name of Texas Chainsaw

when it was in production

they changed the name

[light folio]

damn thats obscure

[dense vigil]

Neat

[light folio]

youre all a bunch of nerds and i love you about as much you hate money

[dire elbow]

I always wondered why that level was called that.

[mild ginkgo]

yeah lmao tbh i didnt get it either until it was explained to me

[thin leaf]

Also are we getting co op endless soon

[mild ginkgo]

but other than horror films, david obvious drew a lot of inspiration from his environment as well

[crimson folio]

soon :Tm:

[thin leaf]

My friends and I have been dying to play that

[mild ginkgo]

as he lives in rural PA

[light folio]

PA seems wild

[crimson folio]

you will have to die way way more zerep

[mild ginkgo]

ive only ever driven through, cant say ive spent any significant time there

[thin leaf]

[crimson folio]

yep

[mild ginkgo]

yes you will eventually get coop endless

[dense vigil]

True, Me, Zerep and Treefrog are buds and we were taking about coop endless

We want that

[mild ginkgo]

itll be a little bit still

but youll get it

[dense vigil]

Take ur time;)

[light folio]

gotta get that switch port out first

[dense vigil]

True!

Dusk for switch! Let’s scare these kiddos!

[light folio]

bell if you want more people to play duskworld with dont forget to check the lfg-signup if you haven't

[thin leaf]

Also everytime there were wendigos it was ALWAYS tense and scary, it's kind of nuts how effectively you used them

[mild ginkgo]

the switch port is being tested by the big boss right now

hes gonna play it on his flight today lol

its very very nearly complete

[dense vigil]

That’s awesome! The inside scoop!

[light folio]

lmao that's cool

[keen turret]

does it have gyro aiming lol

[mild ginkgo]

yes

if you want it

[dense vigil]

Oh snap!

[mild ginkgo]

not required obviously

[keen turret]

imagine trying to circle strafe with gyro aim lol

[mild ginkgo]

its off by default

[dense vigil]

Spladusk

[light folio]

cant wait to see gyro mode dusmare challenge runs

[dense vigil]

Wait so, if you flip your switch, you flip

Lmaooo

[light folio]

oh shit

[dense vigil]

think about that

[dire elbow]

I'm excited for the classic HUD. I feel like that's something that's been missing since the start.

[light folio]

same

[mild ginkgo]

yes that does actually work

i do not advise flipping your switch

[crimson folio]

I wish hud would show you ammo for all ammo types

[keen turret]

i'll simply do a backflip whilst holding the controller

[dense vigil]

That would do the trick

be the dusk

i am dusk

[keen turret]

i wonder how well it would track that

[light folio]

were all beneath dusk

[keen turret]

if i did a backflip with a full twist it might just lose it

[light folio]

unless you have'nt finished the game yet

[dire elbow]

As an S rank Splatoon player, I would not let y'all release Dusk in peace without gyro aim.

[light folio]

god that ending feels kinda meta now

this 5 hour boomer shooter has just seeped into my consciousness

now i just wanna dm it and mod it and do challenge runs and shit

maybe Nyarlathotep is actually real

[dense vigil]

me and some of my friends are hopping on Duskworld, the server is “Sexans” with the password “poop” lowercase “p” because my friend Matt is strange.

[light folio]

Go to #lfg-signup to find DuskWorld matches. Be sure to use @here when asking for games

but yeah ill hop on

[dense vigil]

come on down

[light folio]

better to ask on that channel though

[dense vigil]

Yea I’ll figure that out I’m just on mobile discord

[light folio]

ahh

[dense vigil]

That’s why I’m just announcing it here

Sorry bout that

[light folio]

all good

[mild ginkgo]

i hope gyro players try it out

and tell us that its bad

because we have no gyro players, so we dont really understand everything that gyro players want

[dire elbow]

Gyro is like mouse without the mouse.

[mild ginkgo]

we tried to give the best options we could think of, but we're very open to feedback

if there are things players are unsatisfied with, we will do our best to accomodate

[light folio]

yo 500_pts

this games mechanics make for deeper duels than quake

in my opinion

so thanks

[dire elbow]

I can't aim well at all with traditional gamepad controls but I can aim almost as well as mouse with gyro controls.

[olive cloud]

eeeeeeeh

there is more infight stradegy than quake probably

[light folio]

yeah maybe not the match as a whole but you have to read your opponents movement better because they can turn on a dime

in a straight up gun fight

easier to predict movement in quake

[keen turret]

q1 you can turn on a dime

q3 for sure u gotta stop ur strafe and re circle jump

[upbeat pecan]

You at least gotta turn around. Dusk just let's you slam into reverse

[keen turret]

q1 u can 180 while air strafing so ur keeping the momentum

[keen turret]

havent played much dusk duel but i dont think it has the same map control/positioning/weapon denial that q3 has

imo q3 is the masterpiece of 1v1 competitive fps

dusk wins in many other areas like atmosphere and more interesting weapons etc

[upbeat pecan]

Yea, exactly you gotta 180 to keep momentum. I do kinda wish Dusk had that a bit more instead of being able to full speed any direction with wasd

[keen turret]

you can 180 and then turn back and keep bhopping backwards its fairly seamless

[upbeat pecan]

But ridiculous air control makes for some cool feeling too

[keen turret]

yea its more the being able to wasd while in mid-air, serious sam style

[lapis widget]

what will be in dusk 82 so far

[crimson folio]

Dusk Dude backflips 3 times in the air, unortunetly he dosen't stick the landing and falls on his head killing him instantly. Jacob and the cult win. You are unworthy of Jackob's $WAG.

[olive cloud]

The combat around the maps has more stradegy/depth but there is only one item that can really be controlled because it comes back every 30 secs

so it plusses in some areas and minuses in others. And yea weapon denial and weapon range combat is huge in dusk

world

[crimson folio]

the wizard guys turned against this wall shooter and attacked it until it exploded

is that supposed to happen?

[raw hound]

ay y'all remember where the bball hoop is on 1-2?

[crimson folio]

Iron Cathedral was kinda lame ngl, it was too easy
the dog thing at the end was the only thing that surprised me

[grave saddle]

Yeah, you can destroy the fireball shooters.

Whether or not they can aggro to them is up in the air.

My money is on the Ultrakill explanation.

[heady halo]

I love the sword in this game.

So good.

Love it's design

[grave saddle]

I wish it had more of a purpose in Duskworld.

[pulsar zinc]

woah i didnt know those could be destroyed

[light folio]

speaking of duskworld

[faint quail]

speaking of duskworld

[crimson folio]

how come so many smallfry wizards in ep3?

infighting also seems to happen more often

[undone jay]

Cuz of me

[autumn pendant]

You mean the guy that throw fireballs?

[pulsar zinc]

How far are you in episode 3?

[crimson folio]

level 3

[pulsar zinc]

Ah noice

[grave saddle]

Keep playing, it gets spooky.

[crimson folio]

ep2 was harder from earlier on compared to 3

just on a side note, the assault rifle seems to be modeled after an m60

but m60 is not an assault rifle

[light folio]

explains why its so strong

[crimson folio]

always thought it fires a little slow for an automatic weapon

if it was faster though id probably waste a lot of ammo

[light folio]

the individual hits do pretty solid damage to make up for the low fire rate

[surreal surge]

Fast firing powerup makes it hit just the right spot.

[crimson folio]

fucks up the firing sound tho

[surreal surge]

I don't mind, to me it just tells me how broken the thing is.

If the sound broke with normal usage I'd be bothered, but I see it as the sound of death..

[crimson folio]

I would trade the soldiers firing sound for the assault rifle, I think it sounds better for an automatic weapon

[surreal surge]

Soldier guns sound kinda weak in comparison to our automatic gun tho.

[crimson folio]

in terms of strength they sound about the same

just the soldier's guns have more "bang"

[wicked moon]

I think ep 3 is easier overall than 2

but there's one level towards the end that is ball busting

[crimson folio]

if thats the case i feel kinda down

I already had to bump the difficulty to cero miedo because it wasnt challenging enough, and I think ep2 hit the right notes overall

[short basalt]

literally [BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

[amber sparrow]

they are enemies except that they don't count towards the kill counter

[pulsar zinc]

Hm for me ep3 was harder than 2

Had to start saving

[keen turret]

i found 3 easier also

2 has more traps

[snow jay]

Thematically Episode 1 is my favorite, but 3 was the most fun to play because of the quirky level mechanics.

[upbeat pecan]

on the side of the house near the pond

[crimson folio]

Sucks I wish I could join people or create a server for Duskworld (GOG user here). Really wish it had bots option like what Unreal Tournament games did.

[mild ginkgo]

you can create a server

it just requires you to forward ports

and you can join other peoples servers in kind

[crimson folio]

I've done port forwarding before for other games but how would I do that for this game? What are the ports needed?

[mild ginkgo]

just port 7777

then you can have people connect to your ip

[crimson folio]

any specific protocol needed?

[mild ginkgo]

i think you can get away with just tcp

but both tcp and udp wont hurt it either

[crimson folio]

I'm going to try setting up a test server and see if this works.

incase you didn't have enough dusk reviews in your youtube

here are more dusk reviews

[crimson folio]

most Dusk reviews start the same and say the same things

[upbeat pecan]

thats true for most reviews of popular games

but since dusk is good most reviews praise it for what it gets right so they're gonna be somewhat similar

[fathom shuttle]

hey you know how make the fov higher then the max just asking

[upbeat pecan]

the aspect ratio will let the FOV get higher

because 16:9 lops off the top and bottom

so 110 fov at 4:3 actually views more than 16:9

[crimson folio]

The only absolutely negative review I’ve ever seen of dusk I can’t find anymore

[upbeat pecan]

Ive never seen a negative video review

there are a lot on the steam store tho. "Game didn't live up to hype" playtime: 0.2 hours

[lapis widget]

Those common and should not be taken seriously

[crimson folio]

ive seen people shit on the game for "being ugly" on the Duke4 server (home of Ion Fury)

[upbeat pecan]

I never understand who reviews a game with 15 minutes of play time, it takes me longer than that just to set up res, bindings, and mouse lol

the only reviewer i watch for boomer shooters is civvie because he's actually a talented creator and not just some jackoff who has bland opinions about games

who

[light folio]

anyone who can make me watch 30 minutes of wolf 3d gameplay is doing something right

funny joke

never heard that one

[lapis widget]

thanks

anyways heres your 🇾 🇹 🇫

Ytf is dumb

[olive cloud]

duskworld

doesn't exist

it's just my fever dream guys

[tardy slate]

duskworld? you mean that lawbreakers ripoff?

[stone thistle]

Duskworld

Oh you mean Quake 3

[crimson folio]

Unreal Gold muitplayer, actually

[royal falcon]

I played a ‘il bit of duskworld

And it was really good

[past spindle]

It is good

Like

Really good

Not sure if I'm really good or utter shit though

Because I'm either on the first place or the last 😂

[olive cloud]

Go to #lfg-signup to find DuskWorld matches. Be sure to use @here when asking for games 👍

[olive cloud]

you're probably decent

it's just that the regulars have 100+ hours

[past spindle]

Yeah

Probably

[royal falcon]

Fair enough

[jade root]

knock it off with the spam

[lapis widget]

Hi jab

[crimson folio]

stuck in the sky

[grave saddle]

Suffer.

[crimson folio]

quicksave doesnt work here

every time I load I end up somewhere else

what am I even supposed to do?

[grave saddle]

Quit and start over.

[amber sparrow]

maybe NBUFO cheat cam get you out but no guarantee

the SDK has a nbclip cheat but not the main game

[pulsar zinc]

That level is really confusing first time through

[mild ginkgo]

@crimson folio you can just hold the direction towards the level

you will eventually make it

[teal locust]

yo how does the climbing thing work

nvm figured it out

[true lion]

so does anyone ever play duskworld or is it dead

[proven sinew]

[storm tundra]

if you have enough crossbow ammo you can use the recoil to boost yourself back onto the islands

[crimson folio]

This classic HUD here, can we please have it actually show the amount of ammo for each type like in Doom?

[amber sparrow]

Dusk has 7 types of ammo

Though I'd strongly prefer if the numbers weren't baked into the HUD

cus u know

rebinding

still wondering if the HUD will push your view out of the way like in doom/quake or just cover it up partially

that question may have been answered once but I don't remember

anyway even if the numbers will be baked into the HUD I guess I could just edit them out with a "mod"

[upbeat pecan]

I never really find myself looking at key bind icons really. But would be kinda neat

[amber sparrow]

I don't look at them either but it still bugs me lol

[upbeat pecan]

lol

[balmy island]

yes, universal ammo display for me is a must in this type of game that you carry 50 guns, no more cycling through all your weapons to know if you have ammo for it or not.

[amber sparrow]

I guess

there's a ton of ammo by the way

[grave saddle]

Just get good, lol.

This is a biased standpoint, and no, I don't think you should have to do this, but I've gotten to a point that I know how much I have and how useful ammo and guns are for a certain encounter.

[past spindle]

Is there way to find out in which levels I grabbed the soap?

[lapis widget]

not that i know of

[past spindle]

Damn

[mild ginkgo]

btw @past spindle there is a way

if you use steam achievement manager you can check your ep1_soap through ep3_soap statistics

and depending on that number, you can tell which levels you need

[past spindle]

Ah thank you @mild ginkgo

[sleek saddle]

just dont run out of ammo ez

[fading arrow]

kinda stinks that you have to use a third party software to wipe steam achivements n what not

it should be a thing in steam by itself so you can redo achivements whenever

either way cant wait for that classic hud and also switch port

ok I go back to being a lurker for however long

[lapis widget]

like it says you got a achievement again and the icon is just in grey and you dont get any of the "prizes" that come with those

[fading arrow]

actually with steam achivement manager, games that reward stuff based on steam achivements wont actually give you the award again

[stark hawk]

Games themselves can re-lock achievements, The Stanley Parable lets you do it for one and I know I've seen at least one with an option to reset achievements. So there's nothing technically stopping it, devs just have to put it in the game.

[lapis widget]

steam kinda has it with games like half life 2 where it shows your progress of achievements

[heady halo]

I wonder if we'll ever get anymore achievements for the game

[grave saddle]

I do like the lack of multiplayer exclusive achievements.

[jade root]

it was on purpose

niche game with a grand max of 5 people playing it at once means getting anything mp related cheevos is near impossible

[crimson folio]

so I was literally chasing down secret rooms and low and behold.... dopefish catches me off guard. sometimes megalophobia sets off 🤦‍♂️ then I laugh it off 😆

[pulsar zinc]

I weapon switch all the time so i almost never run out of ammo

[grave saddle]

Same here.

If you're not using your full arsenal, it's your fault you run out of ammo.

[pulsar zinc]

Mhm

[grave saddle]

I've gotten through every level with at least a passable amount of ammo remaining.

[pulsar zinc]

Same

[heady halo]

I almost never run out of shotgun ammo.

I always keep in mind how many shells it'll take to take down each enemy. I also factor in distance to determine which shotguns would be best suited.

I love using the dual shottys, so I use them whenever I can

[pulsar zinc]

Sameee

[grave saddle]

I stopped using the pistols when I realized I could dish out around the same damage with the shotguns at roughly the same range.

[pulsar zinc]

I have all these weapon strats for different enemy types, engagement distances, and rooms

I still swap to the pistols if theres like 1 or 2 fodder left

[heady halo]

I use pistols for rats.

[grave saddle]

Stunning a grand wizard with the assault rifle and blasting away their remaining health with the super shotgun works really well for me.

[pulsar zinc]

Hm i should do that.

[grave saddle]

Especially since I don't have to pause to swap those two.

[heady halo]

For grand wizards, I usually light them up a bit with the AR and then pop them with the hunting rifle.

[grave saddle]

I run around like a rodent on speed, so getting close and getting away is never a hard thing for me to do.

I save the hunting rifle for the bad stuff.

[heady halo]

I play like I'm on crack, but I like to stay away from the grand wizards.

[pulsar zinc]

My hunting rifle goes towards things like the flame dudes that explode when they die

[grave saddle]

Here's your reminder that you can block immediately with the sword.

[heady halo]

True.

[pulsar zinc]

Yeah

[heady halo]

Also sickles if you press m3.

[pulsar zinc]

Wait rly?

Damn

[grave saddle]

Who in their right mind uses mouse three?

So uncomfortable.

[heady halo]

Yep, m3 does like a quick melee swing with the sickles as well as switching to them

I don't use it much, so I never considered rebinding it.

[grave saddle]

I'm preprogrammed to dodge projectiles anyway.

[pulsar zinc]

Lol same

[grave saddle]

Don't underestimate the slide.

[heady halo]

Yeah, same. I rely on the slide a lot to dodge bullets and the like

[grave saddle]

It's not as useful as strafe-hopping, and it kills your momentum, but it will save your life.

[pulsar zinc]

Hm i nvr slide. Should prob use it more but left ctrl is uncomfortable for me.

[grave saddle]

Re-bind it.

I use shift and set control to walk.

Since I use it less.

[pulsar zinc]

Theres a walk button?

[heady halo]

I have long pinkies so ctrl isn't uncomfy for me

[grave saddle]

For the climbing thing.

[pulsar zinc]

Ohh

[grave saddle]

Yeah, there's a walk button.

My boyfriend likes using it. He has not achieved godhood with strafe-hopping.

[heady halo]

Strafe hopping is incredibly easy tho

[pulsar zinc]

Lmao

[heady halo]

I was shocked how easy it was when I first played the game.

[pulsar zinc]

Yeah. I have a really hard time strafe jumping in other games like viscerafest. But in dusk its super easy.

[heady halo]

And I wasn't even that good with it in other games.

[pulsar zinc]

Mhm im the same

[grave saddle]

Viscerafest has more of a finesse to it.

[heady halo]

I need to get Viscerafest. So glad it finally went Early Access.

[grave saddle]

Oh my god, yes you do.

It's still on sale until- to-morrow.

[pulsar zinc]

Its pretty fun. I dig it quite a lot.

[grave saddle]

Fifteen percent off.

[heady halo]

What intrigues me the most is the main character.

She looks awesome and sounds awesome.

[grave saddle]

If you're expecting lore, eh.. Prepare to be disappointed.

[heady halo]

No lore is fine with me. I just think the main character is fun to listen to.

[grave saddle]

You don't need to know more than, "Badass wants ring for fiance."

[pulsar zinc]

Gameplay for me. Scarce ammo to emphasize resource management and making the player think is something I'm a really big fan of.

[grave saddle]

Oh yes.

Nuking the big bads and kiting the others is great fun.

Really makes you memorize how much it takes to kill an enemy.

[pulsar zinc]

Mhm. I use my ammo for the bigger dudes like the grenadiers but punch the smaller ones

[heady halo]

Resource Management is the thing that turned so many away from Doom Eternal, which I don't understand. Like seriously, you get free ammo from pressing c, like come on guys

It's barely resource management

[pulsar zinc]

Lol yeah. Thats why i love playing viscerafest. Because it reminds me of eternal which is my favorite game

Altho imo its like. Taking it to a whole nother level since resources are wayyyyy more scarce

[heady halo]

There are like 6 games locked in an never ending battle in my heart for favorite game and it annoys me.

[crimson folio]

more like managing cooldowns
also free vending machines scattered around

[pulsar zinc]

Theres still ammo lying around but you definitely want to punch more enemies

[heady halo]

Yeah pretty much

[pulsar zinc]

I hope u have fun with viscera if u get it

@crimson folio did u finish e3m8?

[heady halo]

Yea same

[crimson folio]

nah, ill do it later

[pulsar zinc]

Okie

Hab fun!

Damn eternal affected how i play everything. Besides dusk, viscera, and ultrakill, i also weapon switch a shit ton in amid evil. Like the azure rod for flying enemies, trident for fodder, etc etc etc.

Starting switching to the mortar in dusk more recently too. Idk why i didnt use it much in my first playthrough.

Its pretty gud

Just a lil harder to use

[crimson folio]

I used the mortar a lot

[grave saddle]

Goddamn I wish I recorded my E3M9 Duskmare attempt.

[crimson folio]

playing many build engine games made me realize the usefulness of bouncing grenades around corners

[grave saddle]

Well, I guess it isn't an attempt.

I completed it and have the screenshot to prove it.

But I also wish Duskmare disabled cheats a la DOOM.

[light folio]

hey my favourite duskworld husk is on yall wanna get a server going

[pulsar zinc]

Yeah i should really start doing that more. Especially now that i know where they are so i can do that more efficiently.

[grave saddle]

Ey, bitch. I'd have to practice a bit, I've not really even gamed at all to-day.

[light folio]

my favourite build engine thing is hopping on baddies heads in blood

[pulsar zinc]

I might give build engine games another shot sometime. I kinda dont like em cuz i always get lost in their levels. But im thinking about giving ion fury a second try.

[light folio]

@crimson folio @pulsar zinc yall should join too so we can get a 4 man ffa

[pulsar zinc]

I really liked the shotgun

[grave saddle]

That'd be sick.

[pulsar zinc]

Mhm i dont rly play multiplayer games anymore unfortunately

[grave saddle]

I was going to mess around in Fallout 4.

But Dusk is more fun.

[pulsar zinc]

kinda got reallllyyy burnt out on multiplayer fps

[crimson folio]

I only got lost twice in Ion Fury
once was in the second level because I had no idea I had to climb up the place
and once towards the very end of the game where you travel back to a previous level

[pulsar zinc]

Also its 3am

[pulsar zinc]

I got lost in the second level too

[light folio]

"oh boy 3 am time for duskworld"

[grave saddle]

Man, you don't have to do me like that.

[drowsy needle]

is duskworld dead?

dead as hell?

[crimson folio]

the giant sewer level in ion fury seemed confusing and I totally thought id get lost but I just stumbled through it and managed to get to the end, it was a bizarre experience

[light folio]

DeAd Gaem

[grave saddle]

Nah, but one of us will be.

[light folio]

no i'm starting a server right now

[grave saddle]

At least seven times over.

[pulsar zinc]

thing with me is like. I'm the type of person to get lost really easily. It's kind of absurd how easy it is for me to get lost. Like i got lost all the time in both classic doom games.

[crimson folio]

actually a complaint id level against Dusk
I wish the levels were more complex

sometimes levels feel like they end before they really get going

[drowsy needle]

i got lost in thief a lot

[crimson folio]

oh I got lost in Thief tons
the level design in Thief 1 and especially 2 is a whole different can of worms

levels can be massive and stretch both horizontally and vertically in different directions

[drowsy needle]

the game is 17 missions, i thought it was going to be short but the levels are so big and expansive with many sercets in them

oops wait 16

[pulsar zinc]

Mhm. The getting lost stuff is usually why i dropped those type of games. Personally i prefer all the thinking to be in the middle of combat instead of finding how to progress. Because if i get lost i strain my eyes trying to figure out where to go so it gives me easy headaches.

[crimson folio]

Bonehoard was a pretty ridiculous level
the size and length of it really felt like I was going through a real forgotten tomb
when I was in the thick of it I felt lost and disoriented and trapped like wow what did I get myself into

[drowsy needle]

i somehow found the horn when walking around the zombie hordes

i didnt kill the zombies cause lazy

i just jumped around em

haha slow pokes

[crimson folio]

the huge area with the climb towards the horn felt absolutely massive

[drowsy needle]

now i am in the level where you lockpick, hm

i wonder how it works

[olive cloud]

I guess the hardest part is making sure you have found the soap in every level

So glad I bought this game though

[mild ginkgo]

There hasnt been an update for weeks

[atomic latch]

is the new update still to come?

[prisma halo]

Which update are you talking about?

and what platform are you on? (Windows, Mac, Linux)

[atomic latch]

windows

and the update added the features save deletion, continue and the MAX loadout button... not much, and the intruder edition got the visual novel

[prisma halo]

Do you have any beta branches active, such as the SDK?

[heady halo]

The SDK runs on an older version of the game. I had the same issue. Just change from SDK to the base game in betas.

[heady halo]

I am dreading the eventual encounter with E3M9

I can't skip it ;(

[amber sparrow]

where's the susk image from

[light folio]

Warhammer: Mechanicus

Good game xcom meets darkest dungeon with warhammer flavour

[amber sparrow]

also did people basically stop looking for players in the wrong channel after duskworld channel got deleted

like dw channel had a dude like daily

[somber fox]

Still waiting on a Tyranid Katamari game.

[heady halo]

yes

It's like the only 40K game I like besides DoW and Space Marines.

[formal turret]

is it just me

or are ladders kinda broken now

im playing on 144hz if that matters

they just send me flying when i get to the top

i can hardly make it up this one

it sends me into the corner on the left

i think rocket jumping might be harder too but i cant remember

[mild ginkgo]

nah thats what theyre supposed to do

when you reach the top it forces you to do a little pop-up

[amber sparrow]

szymanski mechanics

[near silo]

Or just... ANY game featuring Tyranids.

[upbeat pecan]

Are you holding jump as you climb?

you can slingshot so hard off ladders

[formal turret]

i swear it wasnt like that before

[mild ginkgo]

it has been for a very long time

it was changed i think when episode 2 was released

whenever we added the climbing powerup basically

(it uses the same logic)

[amber sparrow]

you climb super fast if you have both the climbing thing and a ladder

it also stacks with swimming

[heady halo]

After like three trillion years of searching for which level I missed the soap in, I have finally 100% the game

[grave saddle]

Hey, nice.

[heady halo]

Thanks. Took me way longer than it should have

[grave saddle]

100%'ing a game is always harder than you think it will be.

[lapis widget]

[heady halo]

[swift yoke]

good answers. im ok with that lol

[heady halo]

I definitely can't wait for DUSK on switch. I want a physical copy of the game.

[near silo]

I want DUSK on an N64 cartridge

Oh shoot hold up I just thought of something

[pulsar zinc]

not sure if the switch version would even have a physical copy

would be cool tho

i wonder if it would be able to run at 60fps or not

probably not but would be nice

[abstract skiff]

Dusk ray tracing when

[near silo]

I've got some experience in Unity and VR, when the SDK's out of alpha I'm gonna make a VR mod.

[heady halo]

I'd like to get into making models. I think I'm gonna make some weapons for the game when the SDK drops. Maybe add in some of David's original ideas like the totems, the chainsaw and the buzzsaw

[crimson folio]

death to brush props

[prisma halo]

The totem, chainsaw, etc are already going to be added to the SDK officially later on so user maps can use them

[crimson folio]

the first weapon ill look into adding is something fire based

I felt it was definitely lacking in the arsenal especially since you can set enemies on fire using certain objects

[pulsar zinc]

any particular way you would impliment it to compliment the gameplay loop?

[crimson folio]

theres already enough weapons and ammo types, I dont want to add bloat it any further
it would require maps balanced around it

either a Classic Doom plasma rifle style weapon, or something like Serious Sam's flamethrower

another way would be something that sets the ground on fire like that thing from Duke 3D World Tour

[pulsar zinc]

i see

[crimson folio]

or this maybe

Ashes to ashes dusk to dusk is amazing

Ashes To Ashes and Embrace The Darkness are my favorite ambient tracks

Duskdude has ludicrous strength. Didn't really think about it until I opened the game again for another playthrough.

[silver reef]

Is there a way to manually bind mousewheel down to something in duskworld?

MWU works

but now MWD

[grave saddle]

Mouse wheel down worked for me in singleplayer.

But DuskWorld also doesn't have controller support.. So. Uh.

Good luck.

[silver reef]

Is duskworld still being developed? It's almost perfect but the keybind issues are really frustrating

[mild ginkgo]

Yes, but it will be a while before this issue is solved

@crimson folio 😉

[crimson folio]

god damn even a mod lol

[spare cobalt]

mods are bad they make you sad

[olive cloud]

don't. This makes sense in CSGO but not in duskworld where you have to constantly jump. Binding jump to mwu or mwd will only hinder your aim. The buffer for jumping is so high that you don't need to time jumps perfectly

[light folio]

you can basically get perfect bhops every time just from mashing space

[atomic latch]

it worked thanks

Glad to hear it. Happy to help

Does ANYBODY know what belt the dusk solider has? I want to have that belt it looks so badass. Is there a real life equivalent to the soliders belt?

needs to be big as fuck

Print a company logo on it, and it's instantly 'premium'

i mean duskworld isn't like unplayable dead but its not particularly active and everyone who plays on even a semi frequent basis is almost guaranteed to beat the fucking shit out of any new player so badly that they never return
such is life in duskworld

I promise im still newish i just practice a lot

Also can confirm the lack of genitals

There is frag night on... which day was frag night again?

I am going to kick your ass.

I just started playing this game

I would like to be beaten in duskworld

You can go as hard as you want 😄

[light folio]

you only beat me so hard last time cuz i was plastered

i'm down uncle mark i just got some irl errands to deal with then ill probably host a server for a bit

[grave saddle]

I wasn't even playing good.

So you were really out of it.

[light folio]

yeah bro

[grave saddle]

That tiebreaker was embarrassing, though. I'm so sorry.

[light folio]

yeah that was pretty embarrassing what did i lose by like 8 to -1 or something?

[grave saddle]

Yeah, you blew yourself up.

[heady halo]

DUSKworld is really weird. Nobody uses the Riveter and I feel bad for killing people with it because I think there's some honor system about not using it

(at least the people I've played with)

[grave saddle]

You're about right in that. Almost.

I opt not to rivet spam mostly because I do feel it's a little cheesy.

But there's nothing really stopping you. The people I play with tend to use it.

That said, most new players aren't going to mess with their key bindings.

Having the riveter all the way at 9 is going to dissuade some from using it.

[storm nymph]

riveting

[wise crane]

Use riv as much as possible it's the best weapon by far

[grave saddle]

Which is why I personally opt not to.

There's nothing rewarding in spamming a choke point with rivets and claiming three kills because your opponents literally could not move.

There's nothing skillful crouching behind a corner and blasting the poor soul who couldn't have seen it coming.

That's my thought process, anyway. Sometimes the riveter is fun.

[wise crane]

My philosophy is that you gotta play the game as it is.

Unbalanced

[grave saddle]

As it stands, though, I'm a person of good sportsmanship. Usually...

I can't help it if you've not learned how to strafe-hop.

But I can pick and choose which weapons I use.

[olive cloud]

wrong

[grave saddle]

Judiciously deciding how "fair" it would be to use such and such weapon on such and such player.

[olive cloud]

i use it all the time

it's op but i can dodge all of y'all clowns rivets

i figured it out

[grave saddle]

Oh, certainly. You can get good at dodging the rivets.

[lapis widget]

I keep blowing myself up with it

[grave saddle]

I have, to a degree.

Most of the players that rivet spam get tunnel-visioned hard.

[heady halo]

I'm pretty good at aiming with it because all I did was MGE as Soldier in TF2 against other soldiers.

Well, maybe not good. But better than some people

[grave saddle]

Some people can't strafe-hop.

The easiest maneuver in this game.

[olive cloud]

hold w and a and spam jump

im pretty sure people just don't know it exists when they don't do it

[grave saddle]

Most people, likely.

But I've outright told someone this and they still couldn't get the hang of it.

Then again, they were an actual dumbass.

[olive cloud]

how were they an actual dumbass

some people just can't do it

my mom couldn't strafejump

or my dad for that matter

[grave saddle]

They were a dumbass in many, many ways.

They had an awful memory and just wouldn't use what they had.

[storm nymph]

they did not grow up with the gaming

[olive cloud]

most people my age probably couldn't do it

[olive cloud]

some people just aren't good at games

[grave saddle]

This person is constantly playing games, though.

... Then again... They sucked at the singleplayer.

Could hardly do it on I Can Take It.

[olive cloud]

i mean some people are just bad

nothing wrong with that

[storm nymph]

ok are you trying to say that they are naturally bad at gaming then

maybe you are just naturally bad at chess, or math, or skating

[grave saddle]

Nah, I'm good at chess.

[storm nymph]

no difference\

[upbeat pecan]

Never matters where you start, only matters where you end. Also some people just aren't into shooters but rock other games

[storm nymph]

this is true

[grave saddle]

I figure as much- but even still... It's not a hard maneuver.

[storm nymph]

yes the fuck it is if it is your first time

[grave saddle]

I had gone into Dusk having only played DOOM II.

Jumping like that in an arena FPS wasn't something I was accustomed to.

I mean. I obviously wasn't amazing at the jump.

But it clicked quickly.

[storm nymph]

you got the hard movement part down alreadsy

[light folio]

all this talk of duskworld's got me in the mood for some games

[storm nymph]

it is like a constant rhythm game to move for new people

[grave saddle]

I'm just chopping maples in OSRS.

[upbeat pecan]

I wish we could all be so godly. I guess the rest of us will just have to live knowing what its like to struggle with at least one skill our entire life.

[grave saddle]

I by no means try to claim that I'm better...

[storm nymph]

yes but you are saying that movement is simple in fps

[upbeat pecan]

Yea, but we're just saying strafe jumping, arena shooter skills, whatever. You aren't born with it. Some take longer to pick it up, some don't care to pick it up at all. It's like that with anything really

[grave saddle]

I'm well aware of that, certainly.

[upbeat pecan]

Dusk falls into the easy to learn, hard to master anyway.

for the strafe tech

[mild ginkgo]

dang I haven't chopped RuneScape trees in like 15+ years

Thats based

[dull moss]

chopped this tree just for you ❤️

[light folio]

guys come play some dusk of the dead

[wet ice]

Switch port

[jade root]

its coming

[wet ice]

But I want it now.

[jade root]

it isnt out now tho

[wet ice]

End of story. I determine the future

[mild ginkgo]

its very very close to complete

just a bit longer

[light folio]

ooh not even soon

just a bit longer

that means it's REALLY close to done

[mild ginkgo]

yes it is

[heady halo]

or you can be me and suck at everything 🙂

[light folio]

i'm only good at games i try really hard to be good at and i still suck at those

i feel like subjecting myself to afps and fighting games has just made me a better gamer though

[heady halo]

Same. I can get really burnt out on games I really love quickly though which annoys me because I wanna be good

[storm nymph]

Inc

[upbeat pecan]

I'm a bit the reverse, after I find a game that clicks I'll play it to death lol. But not so much into pvp stuff

used to be, but now its just about personal goals in games which is chill. Maybe why I was grumpy butt earlier oops

[heady halo]

Well that's how I am. It's just the fact that I play it to death that makes me get burnt out on it.

[light folio]

Its a shitty feeling to get burnt out on a game as youre stsrting to get good at it

[frosty nacelle]

when is dusk coming to switch

i need it

[light folio]

Love the mechnicus pfp

[rose lintel]

dusk us mp?

[grave saddle]

What?

[rose lintel]

any dusk multiplayer servers in the US?

that are near full?

or anyone wanna play it?

[grave saddle]

Eck... A full server is too much, really.

[rose lintel]

why?

[grave saddle]

Four to six players I'd consider a full game.

[rose lintel]

yeah but thats what im asking

[lapis widget]

Like there’s ever one

[rose lintel]

wanna make one?

[grave saddle]

Oh, for the reason that sixteen different people all moving at Mach 2 is more disorienting than Avatar.

[rose lintel]

and get it goin?

[grave saddle]

Anyway, I'd be up for a game.

[rose lintel]

im down for the blood

[grave saddle]

Which version do you own? Steam or GOG?

[rose lintel]

steam

ofc

[grave saddle]

Good, good.

I'll set one up.

[rose lintel]

sounds like a plan

anyone else in for some slaughter?

[grave saddle]

Server's up, by the name of "Blood!".

... Only reason I'm not pinging the role is because I don't really feel like a huge game right now.

[rose lintel]

im omw

[grave saddle]

You must be this tall to die.

[rose lintel]

password?

[grave saddle]

None.

No password, I mean.

Not None as a password.
