a little bit now that i think about it
omg i remember when dave posted this on twitter like a week/month befofe the sdk
i remember going over my first trenchbroom map and changing stuff in preparation
god
early mage model 
ay yo what
the SDK can play half life .bsp and quake .bsp maps
replacing entities with various dusk stuff

i'll check some mods after i get all the achievements
i found the carcass pic
is that theeee episode 3??? loading screen?
awww i love the christmas hats on enemies
oh wow all the huds
i cant remember this and the following screenshots from anywhere, also unreleased maps?
EP2 im assuming?
I was gonna say, some of that shit looked familiar
why does lain still look like a cutout
Reminds me of this.
I hope you appreciate the image of scott and cam trying to get duskworld to work at quakecon because it took some digging to find
is it this one
yeah
that is awesome lmao
I should have known. Only DUSKWorld could evoke that reaction from someone
still accurate to this day
They really go above and beyond
i disabled flipping
👈 👍
i love how there are 3 identical ones of this
all these in-unity screenshots are great though
it's funny how they manage to somehow still have the 90s dev screenshot vibe
i dont like that look in his eyes

scott might have a stronger power stance than lain
yo, what's this?
there's another one too
yeah, i saw it
crazy to think how much has changed since then
when were those developed btw?
before 2013 i think
dude david nice dlc bro
2011
And now you can uninstall it and not have it take up space on your hdd
it will take up space on my drive
i will allow it
and besides i need to put this into a zip and send it to a guy who likes this stuff
preservation shit
is pressing download on the goodies dlc supposed to launch the game
cuz thats what it did
steam moment
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'll be waiting for the day they display Dusk in a museum
It was like 4am in that pic
Scott's face buried in his hands is the definitive look
is the dead deer real?
fuckers just included a hd image of it
weeping stone catacombs is e3ms?
bad... idea????
stupid question: where do we find the goodies?
the goodies folder in the local files
RIP old flesh chunk zombie
unless im blind
sorry about the confusion. vriska is correct you can grab it here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846130/DUSK__The_Goodies/
as in i already claimed and downloaded the dlc
so i'm not sure why the file isn't there
aight
i was wondering if someone could help me. dusk refuses to launch on my computer.
amazing
do you have any specific details besides just that
what computer, what it says, etc.
uh sure
I just found the 'voice lines' bit and lost my shit entirely.
This is bar none the best DLC I've had for a game in ages.
hey quick question is the big john voice folder supposed to have missing numbers or did my download fuck up?
Hey guys I’m having some trouble with creations (the one with the cage thing and the big horse) is there any kinda strategy I should use to deal as much damage as possible before I die instantly?
Go to #903113855964680252 to find DuskWorld matches. Be sure to use @here when asking for games 👍
i just spammed them with the riveter
oh thanks a lot
What’s a riveter
the rocket launcher
where do you find the unused music with the goodies dlc?
if you dont have all these folders, make sure to actually grab the goodies from the store page first
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846130/DUSK__The_Goodies/
oh wait I had to click the checkmark under dlc in game properties and that fixed it
yea i cant see the dlc's

How the hell do you acces the dlc?
i installed it.
and i have no idea what to do next
oh
what the fuck
heh heh

honestly this is just how to play dusk in general
cant take damage if you outrun the bullets
Having decided to play through a fair sum of Dusk, I have to admit I found myself havin' quite a blast, and admittedly, having quite a bunch of laughs about the spots of humor scattered here and there, and the challenge.
boomer shooters are good, maybe?
Checking out the goodies rn
yeah
same
oof, jeez
i just found the photo they used for one of the paintings
and to be honest, i feel bad looking at it
i'm not gonna send it because i'm gonna get banned for sure
jeez
i just played Down we Go
and its.
its something
alright?
Gonna play pit now
ok fuck this, i'm scared now
yeah
and in pit THERE IS NO MUSIC
FUCK
only the real chads actually beat pit
oh i think i figured out the special tv microwave computer
it just computes the microwaves for special TV
Well, have you beaten bit?
because you seem like a chad to me.
niice
true chad
bynny
hehe
wait what
you serious?
now thats cool
fucking sick
nothin
nvm
now it shows up
weird
does it work the same way to uninstall it?
like uncheck for uninstall
almost 4 gb
damn
last time i tried it it was like 600 mb or less
isnt the game like 1-2 gb?
dusk drip
what
it's in the DUSK goodies DLC
do the goodies still need intruder edition
the goodies need intruder edition?
also wait i thought the goodies were already a thing in the files
or is there just more now
played through the builds, that was fun
really cool looking at dusk in its very earliest stages
there are more goodies now and they are a separate dlc to save space for normies who just want the base game
that is great to hear, we need more happiness in this world!
Hah
the totem was such a cool idea, wish it was in the base game
Right I’m hoping we get it back with mods and can add plasma climbing even tho the riveter basically already does that it’s so fast
totem?
what are those enemies anyways?

meat mistresses
update is bloopers and stuff in goodies folder?
i just came up with that
ye
so you mean to tell me we aren't getting pit 2
Oh it’s there 
I just love the random Civvie clip in there.
To be fair, it may be the peak reaction to that particular moment.
How do you access the dlc content?
same question
goodies folder in the game files
download the goodies dlc first
“Dust”
I did
alright yeah
Do I need to put it anywhere?
nope
The 20 files of john screaming
The wallpapers are actually awesome, gonna use some
Lol
Down We Go is kinda like Pit 2
why does my loadout always delete
they dont give u any guns at the start so im just screwed
because you're using the level select
i dont wanna restart
Use saves, then.
he's probably not old
either save your game between levels,or use the loadout feature
like the opposite

I wish doom 2 had the loadout system before every level
At least now with the Bethesda re release
IDFA works fine enough.
I guess
Gives you every gun, without the keys, and you can pick and choose which to use.
fuck bomb lady
Thats the plan
☹️




first u download it
then you go to the game files and find the goodies folder
not that much to play tho its some old builds and demos of the game + unused music, memes, assets and all that jazz
wait is there actually a dlc, i was just joking
“”Dlc””
custom level or whatever
sdk is the mod tools
there are alot of custom levels in https://dusk.mod.io/
I imagine most of the mappers congregate in #dusk-modding
Occult gathering in dusk mods
knowing Vriska, yeah
This has probably been asked a ton but
I have all the dev builds and Down We Go, but none of the development screenshots
I actually don't have any of the dev builds. The resources are there, but no .exe's
Try redownloading the pack?
I did do that last night, and it didn't work for me.
Yea, I did it about 3 times yesterday and it just didn't work
Could be you did that when the files weren’t activated yet?
Thanks for the goodies !!

Dude
Episode 3 is fucking LIT!
City of Shadows, Jesus Christ.
What a level even if I hated the boss and the floating thingies
Swimming with the fishes
Oh
Now I get why the first level of EP1 is called Head Cheese
Was the working title for the original CHainsaw Massacre
Yep
Thought it was weird
It's pretty cool to go back and see what the game could have been
Then I did some basic google magic
Wish more games allowed you to do this
Oh yeah, need to get the goodies for it
No wait
They're already installed
THey were installed with the latest patch
SWEET!
anyone playing dusk world
Can't wait to see pepole take alpha/beta models from dusk and port them into the main game
Bascially make the doom delta of dusk
We're already doing that officially as part of the SDK
Oh sick
Dusk was in development since 2015
Will we have to buy SDK or is it free for people who own the game on steam?
free
Oh cool
Technically you can already use it. It's just at a very early stage in development. You can opt into the beta if you wish.
Will the Goodies be coming to glorified gaming tablet?
Switch? No
i think the assault rifle needs a small bit of a buff tbh, feels sort of unsatisfying to use
tho when i tried to play the alpha versions of dusk, the ar feels much better in there
that would make it too strong imo. It already mows down trash
I just want to mow down rats...
Zombie ones.

to be very clear about it, the old builds are simply not compatible with the nintendo switch straight up
so they will never be ported to that platform
even if we wanted to, we do not have the source code for most of the old stuff anymore, and therefore cannot compile ARM compatible builds
no
I don't think it needs a buff lol, the games balanced as much as it can be
I do think though the uneven shooting of the older version was cool as a concept
I can see why it was retuned though
hmm ig
it's very good. Just use it as a long range gun

Alright, thank you
ok how the hell do I play the goodies
I can't find a new episode or anything when starting dusk
grab the goodies from the store page first, they're a free dlc
then tick the checkbox on the "manage my dlcs" thing
then go in the local files and find the "goodies" folder
that's the thing I can't get it. If I press download steam just starts dusk without asking anything
find this
yea
ok and then?
well you see all the goodies in the goodies folder
yea
9 builds? Wow. That's actually quite a lot
Testing rooms?
yea, old assets and stuff
Still tho, really cool
definetly
the 7_0 build is super intersting since it has the whole first episode, but all the levels are diffrernt from retail
the one you buy on steam
Switch user-
bad wording i guess
Yeah, I was hoping you'd know what I'm saying, I have no idea how to word it
well switch and pc are p much the same aside from i think some level tweaks
little ones
Oh, you are russkiy
honestly, been trying to get the goodies to work and i think im finally close to getting it
try following the steps starting here
if anyone has any issues with getting it to work, just remember that if you cant get it neither you or the devs are at fault
just steams really shitty systems
gotta restart steam for some updates to actually start downloading
it shows the goodies as an entity and a DLC for Dusk but when you click on dusk it isnt shown in the dlc tab unless you restart, just the usual steam jank
after verifiying my dusk files, restarting steam, uninstalling and reinstalling dusk and restarting steam again, i think the goodies are currently getting installed
it should be a big 3 gig update
2*
it was finding hentai
Do u know what it got patched for
its finally done
alright so far im trying out the earliest to the newest in the goodies
the the pre pre pre pre alpha is like honestly well done, im honestly surprised that much was in the oldest version
that aint the earliest actually
felt like playing the full game except for some changes along the way and looking at the game burned my eyes
oh you know, i just realized too
god damn it, its not sorted by how old it is, its sorted by fuckin alphabet god damn it
preview for new civvie chasm video?
bro the new gta 4 remaster lookin kinda epic
dog where are my buzzsaws and chainsaws in the main game smh my head bad dev
just realized that the melee for early builds was a hammer
but got changed to the sickles
is dusk a prequel to HROT
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lo
someone thought the game froze and started clicking or pressing buttons
it actually did crash for me when i clicked and waited
weird
goodies so far feel fun, especially looking back at the weapons and stuff that were removed from the full game on later releases
also when can we expect to get the sawblade cut of dusk?
Could you guys PLEASE fix this build? It's very customer un-friendly how u guys push out this unfinished broken stuff :/ .
I'd like to file a complain to your CEO, I feel like I've been robbed. This is seriously unacceptable. I have to wait 10 SECONDS TO SAVE? Wow. Absolutely ridiculous. And there isn't even a MENU in some of these!!! Where are the settings, huh???
Can't even make the assault rifle fire right...
look at the bright side of things, atleast your not techland
And worst of all, I hear my laptop fans seriously spin up while playing!
putting like the original unedited versions of some of their old games on steam that actually dont work lmao
You guys should learn color theory before making games, honestly.
It's so funny that some people reviewed the goodies negatively
One of the negative reviews was "unexpected DLC"
My fucking sides
tried to play the original call of juarez game on steam and it took literally a minute to autosave
wait really? lemme go read some bad reviews
the game looked worse than half life 1 and ran worse than it too
yea like cant really blame some of the reviews if they say its not there, not their fault steam is janky as fuck
i guess the second bad review is the guys having problems actually finding the content
but still is that really worth putting out a bad review over
it's free and the dev responded
You'd be surprised how many bullshit bad reviews we see
People review negatively just to ask for tech support
because forums are too hard to use I guess
or they negatively review because third party software doesn't work
well that's... an interesting way of seeing things huh
guys
guys why did you abandon the game
:(
lmao
"This finished game doesn't have features that were never promised for launch and are actively talked about"
"no modding" is also blatantly false smh
That looks like it was posted right before the SDK release
this is super funny to go over
I love Quake 1 but I don't see the value in a game that plays exactly like it
If DUSK was just "Quake 1 in Unity" why would anyone buy it
oh hey i'm starting to find the tech support reviews
i love how dave is actually responding to some of the outstanding ones
we respond to the ones we actually feel are worth responding to
suuure
Steam game reviews are a real rabbit hole
There are some incredible levels of brain rot in there
oh definetly, you find some real specimen
Ep1 kinda is boring.
...short
Ep1 is my least favorite for sure
what
But it's an introduction
Yeah.
i'm trying to think about what happened there
did he like
not find the level exit or smth
and thought that's the game
alright everyone i have an announcement
how do you guys feel about meme negative reviews
im gonna have to refund my copy of dusk and never buy or play any new blood games ever again, my reasoning is simple
I haven't any reviews for this game.
in one of the test versions of the game this door was fucked up
Or any meme reviews.
i love the guy saying "this game kinda sucks :/ play hedon instead" and immediately plugs his twitch, discord AND HIS OTHER STEAM REVIEWS
dusk is just a hedon rip off minus the big anime tiddies
ok that's funny
its a trojan
lmfoa what
it is, it has like 6 different games in one
lmao, my man put his review down for the wrong game, musta mistaken this for warthunder
What do the positive reviews say?
too many to go over
happe guardian
oh i reached the end of negative reviews
that was fast
imma see russian reviews
AWWW i love the google-translated dave response
what a chad
what is it
just random tech support bad review
alright probably the most completed version in goodies is the e1m2 demo and ngl the premise for the level kinda makes me want a completed level like that
you mean E1MS2?
smh your right
That's a special build I put together, it's the final game but with that map
gonna have to die now, i have committed treason
ahh i see
that makes sense
liked the map kinda
just swamp map is always good
it was a fun little level
why did you guys scrap it? too small/didnt fit anywhere?
also question, happy guardian plushy when?
lol
Big Orc tiddies

your right, i am once again mistaken, i have committed a cardinal sin
what hentai voice line
The what?
go to voicelines
now im curious, i wanna hear it
Wait I think someone did send the file here.
not too bad but still
That hentai voiceline file.
so what's this all about?
it seems to have identical stuff inside
inside the .zip that is
Oh god.
oh you guys got it ready way beforehand
man i love the E3 2016 demo build sooo much
the vibe of it and the music
weird, wonder why that's there then if the timestamps are off
i wish i knew about dusk beforehand, i'd be all over this immediately
joined the party somewhere right after the EP3 release
when did uhh
public development??? start
is this.. hentai? hehehe
when an actual team was present
The first announcement of the game was david's first look at dusk video, afaik
after that it was david's blog where he included a build
two actually
After that it was the new blood announcement trailer
New Blood presents DUSK - a retro FPS inspired by all your 90's favorites.
Featuring a full single player campaign, endless survival mode and arena multiplayer.

For more info v...
I think there was an older video that showed off dusk but it looks like it's gone now
it was like a highlight reel of stuff that was coming
can we commission Stephan Weyte to say whatever we want?
no but it's probably the reason it still exists lol
though you could say NB as it is today formed because of dusk
considering how many people joined NB because of it
when did E1 go into early access?
nah newblood was created because of their hit extremely massively played and popular game, unfortunate spaceman right?
this is not a test im just curious
I'm pretty sure EA started with episode 2 actually
unless I'm misremembering
Dusk released into early access on January 11, 2018, containing both DuskWorld and the first two episodes of the singleplayer campaign.
Thanks Wikipedia
pretty cool how it's only been 2 years between david's vid and early access
crazy to see how much changed in that short period
Oh wow
i guess i wasnt THAT late
cant remember how i found out about dusk
oh right i heard a russian youtuber say "this cool game just came out, it's like a retro-style shooter" and went to buy it right there and then
I found out about dusk because of funy penguin man.
oh wow i started whining about the SDK after like 5-6 months of playing the game
What's SDK?
software development kit
i dont think that fits the description of what it currently is lol
but im no expert
Yeah "SDK" is just a nice short term to use
In reality it's just a version of the game that supports mods
It's funny to see it referred to as DAWN still sometimes, I retired that name eons ago
Supports Dandy Kmods
oh i still remember that one screenshot of a DAWN menu
Yeah that was back before it was an official thing
i thought it would stay and kept looking around for it when the sdk dropped
It was a fan patch thing I made
oh thats what sdk means
I see people say "source development kit" but it's not, it's software development kit
in my head i was thinking there was someone on the dev team named kyle that everyone hated
i think i might still have that version archived somewhere
I just downloaded it from here to take that screenshot lol
search dawn from me and sort by old
lol
this fuckin thing still haunts me
back in the days before there were commonly available unity modding frameworks
actually yea
bepin, etc
wagon dog plushy when?
i remember the ASCII art keygen-style version
oops ping
is that a thing or did i dream it up
there might have been one like that
UPM
that was it
honestly though these days BepInEx is the way to go
UPM solved a problem that only really exists on mobile
i preferred the way UPM worked
and only works when IL2CPP is gone
but yeah bepin is far more advanced at this point
still a chance
Dusk DusK
given its still an alpha most people dont know about, you still can definitely rename it
potentially
and then everyone keeps calling it the sdk anyway
Shovelware Development Kit 😎
i reeeeealy dig this build
even tho it was already there before
i'd eat up any more content like this demo you guys may have
we have a shitload of individual builds that are just minor revisions and stuff
like, probably hundreds in total
plus all of the stuff in source control, which has early revisions of episode 2 & 3 maps
and ur saving that for future anniversaries right
probably
man i dig the old guns so much
esp. the assault rifle and the riveter
i'd make that a mod when custom models roll out
Old builds of games always seem so cool and wacky
DUSK DLC YEEAAAHH BABY
love it when i dodge into the enemy projectile 🙃
yep
dusk level design fucks with my brain i cant remember where doors are
its not the level design
Mazes do be like that
its just that im stupid and have short term memory loss
The mines in Episode 1 was where I got lost the most ngl.
Ah the cutty mines
There should be a fixed message telling people how to get to the goodies dlc, it seems like it's a bit of a complex thing
How i hated that level when soeedrunning
the level before the cutty mines and the cutty mines always caused me problems
id always miss the door before cutty mines, never could find them in it
oh thsts when i thought fork maidens were scary soo
Nevermind, it's actually kinda easy
The bait n switch in e1m3 scared the shit out of me the first time playing it
Like when you are opening the barn door with the red key and the floor gives way
Got me, too.
chad
I'm spending some time looking at the goodies DLC and I was glad to try out the Bitter Coast level.
"i only play game without free DLC"
oh god i hated that
what the fuck lmfao
Didnt u know, dlcs are RUINING gaming!!!! The quartening told me that
I think each episode is better than the previous
the rare chad brainlet
The quartering lmao
Here's why tlou2 is stupid- dam es jaw dublews
"i only play game without free DLC" chad is probably the "i only play game that have microtransactions" chad
"No I haven't actually played the game"
Im in the brainlet minority of people who vastly prefer E1 over others
My biggest gripe with E3 was the level length, and most E2 levels i found forgettable kinda
But maaaan E1
Holy fuck
Shit's a masterpiece
I mean E2 has great gameplay, and subversive setpieces, just like E3
But im talking more about general feel i guess
Subjective stuff
some negative reviews are so bad they are in Polish
I gotta be honest I've only completed episode 1
But I've already watched civvie on it
So
episode 3 is the best
i thought i was the only one
even in terms of soundtrack
Ashes to ashes dusk to dusk fucking bangs can't deny that
i think e2 was the worst personally
not bad, but
e3 was a fucking masterpiece
e1 was carnage
E1 > everything else
i also prefer e1
i wished ragdolls were kept
.ban @whole pecan
:o: Banned Manosrotas™#7787 (Case #760)
Thx
7y6ujhg4hyuji
Yeah
wtf happened
Shcam bot
damn
I see.
Yeah
He got impaled and walked it off like it was a pinch
Because video games
im telling you dusk dude is a fucking chad
starts level with 200 health after ripping meathooks off his back
he is.
duskdude is just too good
That emote is canon
Yes.
Love how new blood games go " we will make an simple to understand but complex combat system " and then go "million damage to soap cause funny"
Who says he got impaled? Maybe he was about to
You see, Dusk Dude is worthy.
the noise at the start of the level
Ah okay
depends where it was inserted
i’m sure I don’t have to explain that logic
Into his toe
Yeah i just assumed they hooked him where he would live
Judging by the fact they brought three leathernecks down there to kill him, they knew he'd survive the hooks i reckon
Porbably wanting to fuck with him/torture him a bit
Dusk Dude was meant to be a sacrifice, the hooks were never going to kill him.
Unless, of course, the cult was that incompetent.
... I mean, speaking as a medic, he's not surviving meathook impalement without serious treatment, probably surgery.
But speaking as a shooter aficionado, he's just going to walk it off.
I mean, have you seen the intelligence of the average cult member? Not very bright.
The joke is that the hooks crippled him.
And that's why he only has two hundred health.
Let's not forget that he doesn't even take falling damage. His flashlight does, but not him.
Just Wiley E Coyotes any cliff.
Ah, you work in the medical fiekd? Cohkd you possibly tell us more about the possible hooking then, medically? Like coukd they hang him in a way that he would survive, for example?
Sure, for a while.
did it hit a major artery? dead
Just gotta not puncture the lungs while hooking under his collarbones.
end of story
Still going to die eventually without major treatment.
Does a medkit count?
Joke.
Would be really tricky though, there's some major blood vessels and such in those areas.
... of course, I am never expecting any kind of medical realism out of games, ever.
The best medical realism is in Far Cry.
So youd have to navigate the lungs and the major vessels then eh? Damn. He lucky. Also yeah its a game lol, hes gonna be fine,still just curious.
You mean the game where a Hawaiian shirt makes you close to invulnerable and you mutate?
Theory: dusk dude is just a zombie
I have no shame... but no, I haven't.
He doesnt drown
Then you wouldn't know.
She means far cry 2
far cry is literally “me on my way to pull a bullet out of my arm because I just got bitten by a cougar”
Healing animations
The hawaiian shirt is just the lore behind why enemies can spot you from eight miles away through foliage. You can't convince me otherwise.
Yes.
Yes, that is why.
Obviously the most medically realistic games are jrpg's
The best medical realism is faux realism.
unquenchable hatred
Please stop removing bullets at home, unless you have a surgeon do it.
Also please stop stabbing yourself to get at the bullet. This is the least helpful thing.
You don't understand! This is a hawk attack!
Congratulations at your promotion, Lear.
What?
Aye, bullets can be removed, but doing it with dirty tools will kill you, thats what actually killed garfield, that one president, doctors digging around wuth dirty tools. Hr wouldve survived today.
Et nomine patris, e spiritus sancti, amen.
... I do not know how to spell any of those words.
Latin
Also I think I got a couple of the actual words wrong.
Prodigia, comploratus silens, oro regnet exitium.
I am a card-carrying member of The Satanic Temple, keep your distance please.
You have cooties now.
Oh no.
There's no going back now. Your only path to redemption is shitposting so hard you get promoted again.
I've dabbled a bit in Æ, I'll admit.
Actually, question yall, would you consider dusk to actuslly be a horror game on top of retro fps. I know some do, I personally consider it as much a horror game as an fps.
I'd say it's a horror fps.
I see what you did there
Sort of? Depends on how you define horror games. If you just need scary elements, then sure, but then that makes Minecraft a horror game. If we're talking gameplay elements, it probably doesn't count since everything scary can be summarily dealt with by judicious use of SSG.
Minecraft is undoubtedly a horror game.
But yeah, I'd say it has horror elements.
Also, you can't super shotgun that feeling of dread E3M4 gives you.
It just depends on whether or not you're talking game mechanically or not, which some purists probably would.
I guess i do mean more in atmosphere, aesthetics, and design of the levels and enemies and such. Because yes you can ssg, but sometimes its legit terrifying atmosphere wise and no amount of shotgun makes you feel any better.
Shotgun always makes me feel better.
It's how I can cope with horror games. Give me a shotgun.
FEAR, Resident Evil etc. Just give me a way to make the bad go away and I'm gucci.
But the 'horror games' like Alien Isolation or others where you can't actually fight the horror stuff, I can't deal. Need my SSG Copium.
I've honestly lost my interest in horror games now.
Most of the horror games are just haha scream pls be scared
some are good.
... it occurs to me that basically my kind of horror games is where you're the scariest thing around.
walking sims intensify
common assumption about horror which is ultimately flawed through either lack of effort or lack of research
Or yes, certain 'walking simulators' where it's a lot more about dread and story than actual horror gameplay.
What's walking sims?
@crimson folio amnesia, outlast, SOMA, stuff like that
Basically "games" devoid of much gameplay. You just explore areas and get story revelations.
there is a myriad of horror games out there which are actually scary and don’t rely on “oh no my horror game isn’t scary what will I do? Oh I know i’ll just add random scary music and loud as fuck sounds when you least expect it”
And do puzzles
ic ic
Thats your capabilities
I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how important your “””””gaming atmosphere””””” is
Yeah.
what I mean by that is uh
This is why I call Minecraft a horror game.
Different games hit people differently a lot too. Subnautica scared the piss out of a friend of mine, to the point where she screamed regularly, while to me I was just never scared.
if you’re playing a horror game in a well lit room that’s bright and all that it’s most likely not going to be scary
It outs you into that atmosphere abruptly.
Except that one time the game bugged and spawned a ghost leviathan where it absolutely shouldn't be.
but if you play it in a dark room with headphones on when everything is silent
subnautica is
it’s probably going to be scary
I mean, I think jumpscares do have a place in horror, but for the last whike theyve been severely overused
It's a bit unnerving I'll grant you. Roars of unknown things in the distance and constantly on edge about air supply etc.
yes they have a purpose but it’s a dead horse
I quite loved Subnautica, but it was never as 'horror' as some people found it, to me.
Aye, we need to give them a rest for a while lol. Way, way overused.
you know what’s an interesting set of horror games
Basically being 100% safe all the time if you just hugged some terrain feature and never stopped moving made it comfy to me.
Fuck jumpscares.
you guys know about puppet combo games
No.
well
they’re an interesting theme of horror games while have shitty graphics (similar to dusk) and the horror in them is, interesting
ic
so you know how I said this
well those games are infamous for being so god damned loud
Civvie made a good point about Dusk though. "Shitty graphics", i.e. Dusk's low-poly aesthetic, really lends itself well to eldritch horror.
https://youtu.be/ZZx2eqbiat8 look at this shit
LOUDEST SOUND OUT OF ALL THE GAMES, JEEZ!
Gives you basic form and shit, and lets your imagination really fuck with you.
civvie 11 fans when they’re asked to take a shower
@west sedge puppet combo and kitty horrorshow games are cool
I watched someone else play it tbf, but i really liked Anatomy
this is what I was looking for https://youtu.be/Ltmu1AHDlv8
Now with
- More Stay Out of the House
- Nun Massacre
- Buzz Saw Blood House
- More Nightripper
- Version History
(In 30fps because it posts faster and it’s more about sounds)
Kitty horrorshow is walking sim dine right, done good, imo
their games scare you because it’s all calm and normal then suddenly it’s 200DB and you’re running
god damn it
Bruh
Already been sent, buddy.
By the way, the Dead Space games don't count as horror and I'll fight anyone on this subject. It started off promising, then it just immediately blew its load having the baddie scream in your face while beautifully lit and detailed, and everything from there to the end of the third game is just brightly lit heavily telegraphed bads to kill.
There's zero use of imagination or atmosphere to me.
Fantastic setting, great potential, lovely story and all... and not a horror game.
See can i just say, i think that wave of lets play horror games, slender, fnaf, those have really good concepts, but very poor execution, imo. Like a slenderman game could be scary if it was less so jumpscares and sp00ks and moreso creeping dread, the feeling of being watched and hunted, light cosmic horror elements, and suspense payoff that isnt just "boo"
@west sedge what think on this
The whole wave of Slenderman and FNAF games literaly created an entire genre of games called "Jumpscare Horror"
It's so cheap and overdone it gets it's own article on wikipedia
i honestly don't have a problem with jumpscares at all if they're good
problem with fnaf is they become repetitive and predictable
there's a certain jumpscare in the game Visage that's amazing
Horror takes skill and atmosphere, just adding in a screamer isn't gonna do anything other than pissing me off and ringing my eardrums
Im aware, and agree its cheap, and overdone, im just saying, the concepts behind those games couldve been executed in an interesting way @steady hull
But weren't
i always get so much ping in duskworld
its not like videogames invented jumpscares, and even those you mentioned have some sort of horror vibe
I do love the Resident Evil franchise, always finding interesting ways to scare you
Atmosphere > jump scares

Wow, the new Granny update is so different! Jokes aside, Visage just got updated with a full Chapter 2 centered around someone named Dolores. I played through the whole thing. OK thanks bye

go to 40:45
that's how you do a great jumpscare imo
actually 40:35 for a better experience
Some games get both. Resident Evil Remake and 7 manage to both have their cake and eat it.
Jump scares are fine,but if your entire game is just that it’s gonna get old quick
I also loved House Beneviento, but that one was a scary ride , not really a gamey section
the whole "jumpscare bad atmosphere good" argument has sorta become an echo chamber so i do appreciate when games get creative with the jumpscares while not ditching atmosphere
Hope it's okay to share this sweet unused tune btw
Gotta have a good mix of both
Have good atmosphere that leads to unsuspecting jump scares
DUSK did an amazing job for it
imo dusk is mostly atmosphere
It does have scary moments
FEAR is another game with good atmosphere and jumpscares.
FEAR is god tier
... albeit some of the triggers are just location based, not taking where you're looking into account, so you might get a jumpscare audio effect while admiring a rather nice potted plant.
dude potted pants make me shit my pants like the jpeg ghost in the cutty mines
👻
500 NO
orz
Speaking of taking into account where you're looking. I have yet to see the Cutty Mines ghost.
Somehow I wasn't looking when it happened.
I've just heard of it elsewhere.
Png scare
lol as long as you are looking straight forward while leaving the switch room with the fork maiden, youll see it
its just about the dumbest thing imaginable
i added controller vibration for when it happens on the switch version
thats fucking hilarious
You are a saint for that 
we were trying to make a list of "places in the game that should have rumble for added effect"
and i didnt tell dave i added that one
amazing
im still not actually sure if he knows
you should add that info to the credits roll
"rumble technician"
why is the ghost even a thing lol
originally every gunshot was going to vib the controller, but that got annoying REALLY fast
thats fucking great
"Way to kill your Joycons 101"
yrsh
Add rumble to absolutely everything.
not only is it annoying, but battery drain etc is a thing
so we nixed the feature
i was painstakingly tuning waveforms for each individual weapon lol
You can emulate this removed feature by shaking your hands as you fire.
im kinda glad because idk how i was going to communicate "firing a magical crossbow" over waveforms
... I mean, given how much time I spend shooting in this game, I suspect you can emulate it with a lot of other kinds of... vibrating gadgets.
lol
Unique code that just disconnects your Joycons.
Would a magic crossbow have recoil?
In this game, yes.
It's got very strong recoil.
🙂
Can't wait for the super shotgun to become the Force-a-Nature in the SDK.
Under 2 months and I’m almost at 50 hours on dusk on Nintendo switch. That just goes to show how much I love this port and game.
... you know what, that reminds me. I'm going to add "how much recoil is there when stacking three or more Fast Fire Totems on the Crossbow?" to the list of things to do in Dusk.
Too much 🙂
shooting the crossbow should make the controller fly out of your hand imo
And simulate what it's like to be a god exploring the cosmos of the deathbox.
Haven't actually used a cheat in Dusk yet, so we'll see when I get around to doing that. I'll make FFT stacking a big one.
And infinite ammo of course.
Have fun
i found out the other day when i was playing endless that, my god the crossbow is very useful for staying airborne thanks to that little bounce it gives you
How many can you stack before it resets to zero again, anywa?
Using cheats in the cathedral map is really fun to do
I think it’s 5 before it’s maxed
Yea stacking the FF totem and firing down with the crossbow turns dusk into a space exploration sim
oh boy, better report this to dave then !!!!
