I just want to see if Nintendo put in safeties to prevent the damn things instantly going full Chernobyl.
It'd be too much work for a joke, but it'd be funny.
I'd buy it for Switch just to see, heh.
rumble with infinite ammo pistols and 5 FFTs which don’t expire
Dusk 2 idea: Use your Nargle powers to add Rat Mode.
Do tell me cheats disable achievements, though?
Don’t think so
Otherwise I kind of want to not do them until after I've finished the game on Ciero Miedo, so I can at least screenshot having that done without the cheat achievement.
Wait until you finish the game then
Proof of being worthy, etc.
Precisely, which is why I need to wait with the fun runs until I can prove having done Ciero Miedo without that one.
Cero Miedo? I can't remember how to spell it.
I found that first "Go Away" sign completely naturally after I hit the ladder a bit too quick.
Yeah, Cero Miedo.
Have no fear.
Zero fear, even.
which sign?
E1M2.
think all the levels have them?
if you want 100% achievements, just do it
literally no one else cares if you beat it legitimately
you can save scum anyway
What is this unworthy heresy?
I'm probably not 100%ing the game, no. I just want to be Worthy.
And have a bit of proof of that, heh.
Completing the game requires that you bring unworthy.
lol
the ceo of the company looks way different
that might be one of the thousand other forms i guess
Wait, what game is that?
Huh, gotta look that up.
... oh. Well then.
umm... how do I play the new dlc. I think I downloaded it but I still cant find it
Check the game files
If you're on Steam, just rightclick the game -> Manage -> Browse Local Files -> Goodies folder.
All the stuff should be in there.
holy shit, duskdude from tf2
Fedora duskdude
yes
Now all you need to do is lower the polygon count.
i gonna install a very low cfg only to do that.
Thats actually some pretty nice solly drip
Not using Market Gardener is weak shit, tho
Dusk chess set when?
dusk in real life when
Average day in Philadelphia
done
noice
Now you can get your grafix card back to normal

Watch da fuck out duskworld
@E1M1magazine @SeanNoonan Working on some multiplayer maps for my Doosk mod.(aka Dusk mod for Doom)
Update planned for February 14th. https://t.co/iBhaX1hDg6
Hi guys, I have an issue with the true 100% achievements, I just earned the completionist award in every level (including secrets one) and I still don't have the achievement, Am I suppose to do anything more ?
Look back and check.
You may be missing one.
I know it doesn't seem like it, but just check.
Here's the screenshots of my 3 worlds with the shiny sickles
https://ibb.co/CWhf7WP
https://ibb.co/8YD9FqG
https://ibb.co/9yvKPKf
The color does not dictate the accomplishment granted.
It's merely how many you've accumulated.
You cannot tell at a glance if every level has been given the "Completionist" title.
Here's the screenshots of my 3 worlds with the shiny sickles
https://ibb.co/CWhf7WP
https://ibb.co/8YD9FqG
https://ibb.co/9yvKPKf
E2 and e3 each have one regular sickle
Ok, I thought the title completionnist changed sickles to shiny
It's because it's completionist mixed with pacifist
Just double check like what @grave saddle said the sickle color isn’t showing what you have, it’s just showing how many
https://prnt.sc/22rvgwv getting some weird missing textures rn in the sdk version of dusk
dunno if it was me messing with the files for a mod (found out that wasnt necessary) doe i completely deleted everything and redownloaded it and still some missing textures, thing is that the vanilla version works fine
Yeah but I really have all kills and all secrets to 100% in each levels with the "completionist" status
The SDK is, uhh... It's something.
yeah lol, i didnt even mess with the texture files, in fact the same textures for that are still in there
thing is that it wasnt like that before so might be cuz of an update question mark???

if you earned one of them a long time ago, there was a bug with the completionist cheeve that would have prevented your progress from writing
so for not, the easiest way for me to determine which level you are missing, is for you to use Steam Achievement Manager, and give me the ep1, ep2, and ep3_completion stats that are stored for your account
from there we can determine which levels you are missing
I managed to make Dusk look like it's running off the Virtual Boy.
Also, Kdsm, you're in this video.
That's what you get for pinging me when the turn off ping button is right there...
Yo, what effort?
I just toggled some things in-game.
This is raw footage.
doxed 💀
Anyone wanna play duskworld?
I played Dusk for the first time in July 2020
Thank you very much, I just downloaded the steam achivement manager and found this, it looks like it's coming from a level in ep2 https://ibb.co/JvCTq8b
wtf was that screaming thing
be more specific
Red thing with sword?
the priestesses?
OSRS lookin' ass...
Im late, but head over to #dusk-modding for these kind of questions
We'll be more likely to answer there
oh ok, i thought that was only for like mod creators n stuff
@agile silo why do you like dusk
I’ve never played dusk 

I’ve beaten inside
Craxy
I think that’s an indie game

now play good games
He won't
No
He's too busy playing
Paper Mario the first one
You should play Dusk it's fun.
:true:
I've watched a review
:true:
Weapons all feel good, music is banging, level design is 👌 👌
That’s why I wanna play it
He wouldn't know a good game from a bad one
It’s on switch right
Listening to that hup hup hup never gets old.
Ye
Yeah it's on switch.

I ordered the limited release version.
Getting a physical copy. 
I don't have enough space for physical copies
I can fit a switch box on my shelf. It's pretty small.
Also I have a lot of open shelf space.
I will buy dusk
He is one step closer
It’s 20$
I’ve played postal 2 does that count
no
No

@agile silo when I eat Chinese food

Getting dusk would be cool if I had a consistent way to play it
Yeah yeah get this though
Lasanga
I go now I’ll talk more later so I can send the bouncy cat gif
I finished episode 1 on cero miedo and it was really difficult
Does one of the secret triggers on e1ms2 not proc?
oh you'll have soo much fun with the later episodes fufufu 
I don’t think I can do it.

*slowly puts you at gunpoint
atleast its not duskmare
that one i dont want to touch-
oh hey i have a role now, that means i can do this
if anyone wants to play im ready in my server called Azazel , dont need password

Honestly, you'll get better as you learn the mechanics
I wouldn't worry too much about what gave you trouble or not early on
Just play on the difficulty you feel is appropriate for you during that moment and adjust it to be higher or lower later on
I remember someone memeing about the mortar and crossbow with the rapid fire totems stacking in E3M6, lmao
New DLC is extremely based
i know im probably supposed to get the endless achievements legitimately, but ngl being unworthy sounds fun as FUCK here
wait so how does fff work
fft*
does it increase your speed by 100% or double your speed (counting past fft)
I'm going to be honest, I used Accessible difficulty for the achievements.
I went back and did it again legitimately later.
But yeah.
No shame.
does anyone still play dusk world?
No, it's been dead for months.
There's a whole looking for matches thingy.
I played earlier to-day.
dont have access to the channel
Then get access.
yeah ez
nice ill just do that thanks

a guy joined for a sec killed me then left lmao
Based.
True chad gamer

Also, does anybody know what song is in the background of the WELOVEYOUSTEPHANWEYTE.mp4?
I swear i heard it somewhere, but cant remember the name....
Nvm, found it
||For those that want to know what its in Quake Chapmions: Doom Edition, the one called Infuscomus||
G' t' #l'-s' t' f' D'W' m'. B' s' t' u' @h' w' a' f' g' 👍
Wat Is that.....
Jesus.
If I remember right that's e2m3 missed
SOON™
I think the game expects me to use my pistols wayyyyy more then I do
I think the game expects me to use my shotguns wayyyyy less then I do
Yeah they are weak as shat
i have literally no ammo
Shotgun good pistol bad
Ya'll shittalkin' the rapid fire dual wielded sniper in here?
... well that was a line to get rank-up from.
I got a rank from something stupid, too.
Then again, it's Dusk. Everything that is hitscan is a sniper as far as I'm concerned.
Up to and including the SSG in a pinch.
Or when you forget to press a button.
I will never get into the habit of using a weapon wheel, ever, which means every time I take a break from a game like Dusk I come back and my weapon selection is damn near random when I try to quick switch.
"Welp, I guess we're sniping that wizard with dual shottys now."
"Totally meant to do that."
has anybody beat the ratacombs with only sickles
Pistols are good for when you get fast fires and wanna conserve assault rifle ammo
also for dealing w Soldiers
Find song name : dusk still down. ( thx me later )
check out "cheats.txt" in the goodies folder from dusk
The boot prop on E1M2 has no texure on it's bottom face.
how goes Dusk today
nice
I made the game look awful.
Loving the game so far
Anyone explored the new goodies yet?
Yea 
I made those "cruddy" posters my phones lock and home screens.
I can't get over how much of a mobile game this makes Dusk look like.
yeah lol
I'm going to finish the game first before I dive in the goodies
honestly I still like the posed one just because it's such a "bargain bin" aesthetic and really fit what Dusk was at the time
scrappy little game
i am using one of the wallpapers as a pc background
I had a screenshot I took from the game as my background for a while.
Yes
it is no longer an unusual minecraft screenshot from ducky's server
Let me see if I can dig it up.
AND I SHALL MAKE MORE SIR
👍
i will never stop drawing Jakob until my brain dies
nice
The cathedral
very atmospheric 
That only ushered in a new age of the FPS genre AND it's a contender for best game of the 2010s
jank is fun though
^
yeah those are the kind of games I like making
David, was it difficult to do the fake DOS intro?
super indie
naw not at all. Just a text box with a script that adds text based on a timer
Ohhhhh
I've had a lot of fun with this game- it's topped my charts for favorite game of all time.
i honestly don't know either i did 2 years of computer science in school but all i did was speedrun wikipedia and look at memes
Due in part by the amazing dev team being so open about the game itself.
i still haven't finished Dusk but I still love it
David did you find the pic of you and Andrew
Fuck homework.
i cannot complete dusk... yet
Run like hell! I-I mean heaven!
i will eventually

i just don't want to lower the difficulty
oh right I gotta add that
will do that once I get time
because i like the challenge but also it's soooo hard
Today's my day off but I just wanted to stop in and see how everyone was enjoying the content
Nice seeing you too
I was pleased with Dusk's difficulty. I'd come off the coattails of Sunlust and Valiant, and still it provided a challenge.
content is most splendid, nice to speak to you David :D

yo David if youre interested in some custom maps check #dusk-modding i posted some screenshots there
I like the difficulty, it's just after Episode One I definitely noticed the difficulty ramp up haha
and for someone who is kinda shit at video games...
very cool game
Ep2 and 4 are fucking brutal.
Nice.
it takes about an hour to do each level but it's so worth how long it's taken me
Ooh... An episode four that comes out years afterwards like Ultimate DOOM would be funny.
lmao

Make it ball-bustingly difficult.
I'm enjoying this image in particular
Episode Four: Worthy
@thorn trout thoughts on soap girl
It's just random people challenging Dusk Dude endlessly
she's cooll
!waifu
is soap girl the only worthy contender to dusk dude
it’s soap girl
There is no contending Dusk Dude.
i see
Only following him around and hurling yourself at his enemies.
No
I've been waiting for my poster since November 26th
New blood shipping™️
my ps5 took less time to ship
Got to be careful about ordering things during the holidays.
yes new blood shipping
shipping cost if atrocious and it takes forever
The postal service is horrifically overworked.
it finally reached the UK on saturday
I live close to their shipping places and it was still 10$
yeah shipping to the UK was more than the posters I bought themselves
I can officially say I spent my life savings on New Blood propaganda merchandise
i mean at least with dusk it's kinda worth it
Other New Blood stuff I've spent.. Let's see... Twenty dollars on Ultrakill.
That's it.
ew
i've spent probably hundreds of pounds on Sims 4 content and I hate myself for it
play amid evil and faith and usm
I've tried Amid Evil.
Good game
And I want SGS.
gun go pew and enemy die
Amid Evil made me kind of dizzy to look at.
i didn't enjoy the amid evil demo that much but the game itself is amazing imo
me when i go bankrupt from sims dlc
Æ is my favourite new blood game 
faith good
the soundtrack is amazing
fresh supply is better
I will give it that.
The soundtrack of every New Blood game I've played has been phenomenal.
fuck is that
faith is what got me into the other new blood games
definitely
Blood: Fresh Supply.
Maximum Action is my least favorite NB game.
A new Blood game.
Battle an army of sycophantic cultists, zombies, gargoyles, hellhounds, and an insatiable host of horrors in your quest to defeat the evil Tchernobog. Squirm through 42 loathesome levels filled with more atmosphere than a Lovecraftian mausoleum. Begin your journey armed with a simple pitchfork and earn more effective implements of destruction li...

yeah its the new Blood game
Crux cruo!
MARANAX
AAAAH IT BURNS IT BURNS
THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK
Woah..just me?
Is fresh supply any good now?
Yes
yeah its awesome
They fixed it? I heard it was broken at launch.
They fixed it.
It's so good.
And it comes with Cryptic Passage.
The real Blood 2.
I've finished the first episode of blood last week
Both expansions
im somewhere in the middle of e2 cause im an idiot and thought well done was the medium difficulty
Caleb and Dusk Dude are my favorite FPS protagonists.
What about Duke though
"Along came a spider and sat down beside her and said... What's in the bowl, bitch?"
yeah i think i'm on lightly broiled
Poor duke 
lightweight
damn im on pink on the inside
cero miedo my beloved
yeah unlike gigachad dusk dude that gets drunk off like 2 beers
We don’t speak of Duke games past 3D
I have never played Duke games.
the e1 of blood is so much harder than e2
They’re good
And you can't even play Duke3D reliably anymore.
I see.
tbf it took me like 6 attempts to get through the first 2 levels of blood
I thought you said dusk I was about to say “fuck you mean E1 is harder “ 
lmao
blood got so much easier after you learn how to deal with cultists
yeah
i find the zombies more annoying tho
because you like have to either blow them up or burn them
Duke is definitely better than shadow warrior at the very least
Lo Wang soap you good!
Isn't it on steam under the RAAANDYYYYY version?
And yes his name should always be said like that
world tour
Ah
ic ic
Unless they updated it but i refunded it
I can only say it's worth it for the developers commentary
Still better than Shadow Warrior
Whooo... Wanta some Wang?
Nuke
How do you get to the Ratacombs?
E3m4 🙂
The one with... ||the horror||.
Fuck those things
Tho they nor the ||wendigos|| scare me anymore lol
Theyre just a tricky fight now
Fuckers are fast
Rats are honestly the scariest.
nah
ok
Does this mean you will get ULTRAKILL
No
i dont get it
burn in hell
i hate tree horses
Thank you
i actually despise the flying monkeys
guys
cannon
you load mortars into the vent and then stuff a prop in it
it'll send the prop flying out
yo epic
Yea.
On E2M10, why does the Guardian die when the player rapidly traverses through the portals?
It's called a telefrag.
If you teleport and occupy the same space as it then it dies.
Neat
is the e2m10 guardian as strong as the dweller in darkness one? he felt stronger in e2m10
I feel like the Guardian in E3M9 shoots more rapidly than the one in E2M10.
I'm pretty sure they're the exact same object so it's probably just the open space giving it more chances to aggro towards the player
Oh I see.
huh not sure why i felt the e2m10 one had significantly more hp
Usually you'd experience the opposite
Since it damages itself a bunch with its own explosions there
they’re identical
in my experience E2M10 is harder because all the expllsives are funneled into 1 small hallway
and it's hard to dodge unless you go to cover
Yeah, what Vriska said. The Dwellers one goes down fast as I tend to save a FFT for them and have plenty of rivets. Just zoom zoom and empty your riveter and he's down fast.
With plenty of room to move.
I never had a problem with the Guardian in E2M10, he seemed easy. The one in E3M9, I had problems with.
Probably because I was jumping around the whole arena.
The e2m10 one I think feels like it has more health because you can only hit it in small windows before you need to dodge its attack around a corner
Unless your spamming crossbow or nortar6
Mortar
The e2m10 one also is deceptively quick. It's kind of ridiculous how fast he is for his size, which really comes into play in that level compared to Dwellers, I feel.
I mean, they're the same speed, but it feels faster in constrained levels like that.
I remember the first time I played it I went through the teleport, saw a giant bird man spamming mortars and then shat myself
i'm looking through the goodies folder of DUSK
and this screenshot
of an earlier texture of the Cowgirl
i uhm...
I don't know if I can actually post this or not
i guess i'll say i'm glad that stapled vaginas did not end up in the final product 
I can't say I've ever gotten a good look at Cowgirls. Whenever I know they exist anywhere nearby, I go to plaid and don't stop moving until they are no more.
yeah everything below their stomach area is all mechanical in the released version
pipes and wires and other ambiguous shit before it gets to the spindly legs
it wasn't like that in these dev screenshots
Ah, found them. Yeah... that'd probably have been an unfortunate model to use. Although to be fair, I'd still probably not have noticed, due to aforementioned "lol nope" going to hyperspeed never getting more than a glimpse of them until they died.
the brilliance of cowgirls as an enemy w a vaguely horny design is that she kills you very quickly if you sit and stare

...

My mind went to my own folders of... titillating materials, and I realized I have no leg to stand on. Proceed.
go to #ultrakill

that's not actually what it is but you can imagine why it was cut considering what it looks like lol
It's on the back too, so it seems to basically just be a skin suit over mechanical parts.
It was just meant to be a body horror thing
ah fair
Exposed flesh, mechanical parts, etc
That part of the texture just... lined up in ways it probably shouldn't have lol
David's explained it a few times before
Seems to be a tradition by now to rank up from weird things.
Anyone knows when the Goodies from Dusk will arrive on GOG?
cyberpussy
uh sorry
Quake 2 Iron Maiden agrees
Here’s an idea of it
And here's where it belongs:
#ultrakill 👈
Oh yeah one time one of the guys from #bnnuy-and-the-jits chat posted a V1 oc.
Unironically?
Ok good
susk
o god
Is there usually a dusk Christmas event

... am I getting 'too old for this shit' levels of old if holiday events in a singleplayer game weirds me the hell out, still?
I don't think so? I'm not sure.
I like events, little reskins.
They're cute, and unique to the season. (Mostly)
Oh I don't mind them, they just still take me by surprise in singleplayer games.
I like reskins but i wished they made it an option
So that I don't have to wait a year for it
Hey.
Some of the cool games have them year round.
Just based on your device's clock.
Yea but maybe i like yhe christmas ones more
So i wish i could enable em whenever i want
Change your clock.
Change your cock.
That too.
Yeah.
wtf people are still using the fucking susk gif
In kf2, you can't
And the reskins have different hitboxes

yeah just press 1 fucking button jfc people

?
yea i dont get it

stop pinging people in replies some of them start crying
booohoo 😭
wendigo or smt idk
what
Someone called me a horsefucker in general
nice
wendigoe
wendigone

wendihoe
rude
cult stole my organs
cant have shit in dusk
pisslight
Pee on your flashlight to power it!

no wait
if there's gonna be a pee function, the game will turn into postal
fuck
eh, there's an SDK on its way
so i'm sure someone will add the pee function
huh
pee power no way
fuckign pee power wtf
The future is golden
"Fresh from the tap!"
Ok I’ll make sure to do that from now on
How kind of you.
No problemo
Dave's
pain
It was based on a Planescape Torment level
youll notice the layout of this is actually very similar to that level
and the sort of "boss" in that dungeon
i wouldn't have, but that tracks for my experiences with dusk, thus far
i love rat kings so much, as a thing
humanity really saw some weird freaky shit happen to some rats and went
"Hmm! This will influence my collective image of the Occult for centuries to come."
lol
at least a relatively sufficient amount of mortar ammunition was provided
yeah theres the paintover of the level
i actually linked the wrong one
anyways thats how it came to being
has anyone talked about how e1ms is in the wrong place time-wise?
like considering how dark it is, it should come after m5
oh yeah its not that dark
also being real the whole day cycle thing wasnt taken that seriously
several levels in the game were reordered
imma get the goodies after i finish the game
what am i supposed to do about the ||tornado|| on e3m5?
just chill in church?
play the game and find out
im doing that :P
i didnt see anything that made sense so i rambo'd into it and died
i would suggest doing literally anything but walking into the tornado
it does little damage
you can stand in it for a while
doesn't change with difficulty
i mean you can't survive very long but you can take a few hits from it and be OK
i think jerma died to it thinking it was tracking his movements and walking into it
idk how
we had figured most people have a sense of self preservation
oh wait he walked off the map
that makes more sense
you forget one crucial factor
im a crazed old man with a shotgun full of hate and a head full of bunnyhopping
i know two things: move forward and shoot shotgun
i figured it out btw
...and then died to the tornado during the fall
Jerma archived Dusk (The original title of this stream was "Doin the resta Dusk", and was originally streamed/recorded on November 23th, 2019)
(Note: This channel is not run by Jerma, just a couple of fans wanting to archive the streams for a later date, and just for the community of fans.)
Archive Channel's Discord: https://discord.gg/xUeJCZ...
you need pretty low health to be 1hit by the tornado
i think i took three
it was like, take the first hit, take the second hit, notice the drop, take the third hit as im cresting down
im not very bright
this implies you did not figure it out
tornado breaks the altar and you drop down, no?
no
nope
im so freaking smart
lmao
is dusk good
I tried soaping it.
This was before I watched Civvie's video, so watching him try too was just gold.
But yeah. Ran away from the bloody bloody tornado.
I’d take it over sex tbh
this is exactly what i did because i thought itd take me somewhere cool
i literally sprinted head first into it thinking it was the right move
with soap in my hand of courze
lol
because of course i had to try soaping it at least once when i got in and realized i was actually dying
Whatever you do.
Do not fall off the ledge in Endless mode.
The cops will arrive, and they will pop a cap in your eye.
So I finally finished Dusk last night
I got the game when only E1 was out and then I was waiting for the full release and i left it a bit too long ~
but holy shit, what a good fucking game
Each episode was awesome in it's own way
E3 was probably the most impressive but I really enjoy the relatable environments from E1
Dusk good game
yessir
Im also eagerly awaiting Wrath's full release
that and the updated Dusk SDK
wrath being finished 🙂
Oh and man, as soon as the higher poly models release im gonna replay Dusk immediately
doesn't chris holden work on wrath or smt
I killed it
yes
Dusk is very fun so far
it only gets better
I’m in act 2 for the moment and now cero miedo is very much becoming challenging
i needa finish CM
I like the hunting rifle a lot but the super shotgun may be more useful for clearing out the little guys
hunting rifle i find to be super good for welders
Yeah they one shot them to the body
I dunno if there is a headshot modifier but I really hope so because yall got me fucked up if you think I’m not gonna try and melt the invisible guys as fast as possible
Good to know good to know
Headshots are overrated.
But how to kill invisible guys ASAP (scary)
What’s the sword
Poking stick
I just have the tried and true head cheese sickles
The sword is in amid evil not dusk you silly goose

It's also in Thief.
I haven’t played that one yet but if the sword is cool and badass then I will most likely
Though for now is there any way for me to detect the invisible guys without bumping into them? I’d like to be able to kill them without losing half my health each time
Sound, my friend.
They also leave behind bloody footprints.
And since they are still solid entities, they push around objects.
spam pistols
Oh yeah I forgot to turn on the sound
Shoot in the general direction
Sounds dumb but I forgot that sound was a thing in video game
the shitty aim and abundance of bullets makes pistols good for trying to detect them
That is impressive
wow, i cant believe they added dusk to phone
I haven’t heard a single song sound effect or noise in dusk quite yet and I’ve managed to make it to I think level 3-4 in act two on cero miedo
Switch release
so true
I wish the sickles were more powerful
Get drunk.
are you saying your game has no audio?
Yes and no.
sorry im just catching up
was trying to determine if this was some bug i need to be worried about
I think they've actually just... Not played with sound in games for a while.
Nope I turned it off intentionally
But dusk has great sound design. Why would you do that to yourself?
Hey, props to Dusk! The accessibility factor is working.

I listen to the ost pretty frequently.
Because I am evil
It's super good would recommend
Me too.
If it’s anything like ultrakill or amid evil I’m assuming that it will be constant bangers

Constant bangers.
Well, it's by Hulshult.
But it’s not in the spirit of the challenge unfortunately
Yes
Hulshult does great work.
I’ll turn the sound on for my second play though but I feel like I’ve gone too far in without it
Deaf play through 
You may actually feel more scared.
Also is there any other way to kill the purple evil cultists? Two sniper shots is a lot of ammo I find

Thank you very much
Parrying has been a thing since olden times.
Ultrakill was my introduction to newblood so I kinda base most of my opinions off of it
Parry and riposte!
But that is very badass
Professor dusk will now simply be untouchable
Aside from creatures that don’t stand perfectly still
Hahah big john ahhgh
BIG JOHN 
jokes on you, i play DUSK without a monitor, i am simply just that much better
Just finished dusk for my 6th time on switch. It is still such an incredible game, even after repeat playthroughs.
hello
I am here to say... DUSK on switch is the best FPS on the system out of everything available IMHO.

I don't know what was done with the controls but they feel significantly more responsive than other FPS on the system.
probably just due to it running at a stable 60fps more than anything
Quake is pretty stable, but it still feels off. DUSK feels like it was made for the switch.
we were pretty diligent about making them responsive overall
its still probably not where id like it to be, but it would require a significant amount of work to improve from here
I think you did an amazing job.
I'd read the crap out of an article on how devs think and work on porting a fast-paced high mobility FPS to console controls. Well, from devs who know what the actual fuck they're doing, at any rate. It genuinely blows my mind that DUSK (and things like Doom 2016 etc) are on consoles and actually function, and it'd be really interesting to see some deep-dive in how it got to that point.
I legitimately don't see how it can be. Console controllers are antithetical to first person shooters, for me.
Quake on console feels like it has some input delay. Dusk feels a bit more responsive and combined with more aim assist it feels really nice.
I’m not great with gamepad but the heavier aim assist feels so nice to me lol. Keeps the spirit of the game intact without the speed ending up frustrating
Some gamepad chads probably hate it tho lol
well they can turn it off :P
and yeah, input latency is a whole dragon to chase
if i ever have time ill do some experiments to see what the lowest possible you can achieve with the switch is, but basically it would be a lot of work to do, and i also need to hack together a testing setup, which requires external measurement
heres an example of what that would require, but for the switch
excuse the fucking MESS of a workbench
but here i have a slow motion camera setup at 240 fps (thats 4x the framerate of the game's 60fps)
which allows you to eliminate sample aliasing
from ehre, you wire an LED into your controller essentially to measure the exact frame the input activates
No no, that's exactly how a workbench that sees actual work looks like.
Ponderin' it, kinda liked the whole idea of trying to do a run of Dusk going purely low tech. Not sure if there'd be any levels I'd be unable to do that with.
from there you count the number of frames until you see the input happen on the screen
that gives you the number of milliseconds of end-to-end latency
That looks very much like how GN did input latency testing for the... err... whatever that google gaming in the cloud thingy was called.
yes i do actually do this shit for fun lol, i have a broken brain
and yeah, pretty much its the only possible way to measure it
in this example, the game in question with this specific setup is 4.5 frames of lag, which is not good lol
but thats not the point
What kind of game 'redesign' did you guys do for Dusk on the Switch? Did you change projectile speeds, accuracy, or anything like that?
I'm trying to imagine Dwellers in Darkness on switch controls, or some of the enclosed surprise murder closet traps, and my brain kind of herniates itself in self-preservation.
first we started with the controls, because thats the main way you interface with the game lol. it was important for us to preserve the bunnyhopping aspects of dusk in the conversion, so that required both coming up with a new control layout that would be comfortable to use without making your hand do some hideous inhuman poses, and also making it easier by adding autohopping
we played throught he game on pc a bunch with a controller to identify parts which felt like they had particular friction
and made modifications to those parts of levels in order to smooth them over
that includes stuff like slightly simplifying and widening the tunnel under the church in e1m3 for example
things that are finnicky, are usually frustrating
so stuff like autoaim is on by default, so the player doesnt feel like they need to mess about aiming a ton and be slowed down
there were also new features like the weapon wheel added to facilitate switching weapons on the fly, certainly stuff like dweller would be a LOT harder without that
That's interesting. So you guys didn't redesign enemy speeds or response times, etc?
the AI was tweaked a very small amount, but honestly it wasnt really on purpose
their response times can be slightly slower
but that was actually a performance optimization
most of the gameplay we tried to keep 1:1
because we didnt want switch players to feel like they were getting a "nerfed" version of the game
we wanted to provide the full-fat experience
with almost all the options and features
Fascinating. So it's basically as close to 'genuine' DUSK as it gets. I did not expect that for a console port, to be perfectly honest. I've always been of the mindset that this kind of shooter just isn't doable on such control schemes. I'll have to revise my thinking it seems.
there was a LOT of stuff changed under the hood, but entirely for performance reasons
The Switch version had me enabke "vivid" pallette on ny PC copy because it looked that good.
stuff like e1m2 was running at like 12-15 fps when it was just straight ported
and it took a lot of work to hit the target framerate
i think one thing i havent seen many people talk about, but works really well on switch is the "bright room" setting
I bet. You're basically porting it to hardware I carry around in my pocket in terms of power. It's impressive.
if youre ever out in the sun playing it, or in a really bright room, we made a color profile specifically tuned to make the game more visible in bright conditions
it works like, surprisingly well
I should consider that, actually.
I've been thinking about upgrading to an OLED for Christmas should the funds allow it.
i wanna get one of those
I'm starting to get tempted to get it for my Switch, although the only times I actually use it is when traveling, which almost never happens these days.
Despite everything, and don't worry this is a niche complaint, I still really love SSG flicking.
I wonder if the Steam Deck will end up a competitor for the Switch, or if the Switch still retains the edge thanks to the Nintendo exclusives.
You can't realistically do that on Switch without jacking your sensitivity, so I tend to play on PC.
That said? The Switch release makes me feel much faster.
So it's like two different vices.
yeah there are some things that are just hard to translate
the steam deck is definitely a very different product in its own right
having used both , i prefer the switch for most things
but thats because the software experience is all rounded edges
you dont have the system crash and hard reboot itself on switch
happens all the time on steam deck
Goddamn, they really did just slap a computer in there.
The deck's advantage to me is the sheer games library I already have on PC. Otherwise it strikes me as another Switch I'll dig out and charge when I'm going on a trip somewhere.
Then again, I really like how it's very user servicable.
Valve certainly knows how to market.
... except to Norwegians. Not an actual EU member so they don't market here, so unless you're willing to pay through the nose through third-party resellers, you're not getting Steam controllers, Valve Index or Steam Deck here.
Well, it wouldn't be a major gaming company if they didn't cock up somewhere.
Steam decks seems neat but valves record for successful hardware isn’t great lol
Steam controller was pretty nice for some things tho. And their stuff is well made. Just Always in a niche market
Well yk with an external device

Bad quality but im sure someone else can improve it
I thought you'd be like taking screenshots each frame
Lmao
And combining them
This is harder than I thought
Screenshot time
Ok ok
So ive done it but
Ill try and summarize while it renders on my phone
Its all based on the speed boost from the wall climb powerup
You gain enough movement from bunny hopping
Like REALLY GAIN IT
and then tapping shift on walls literally slingshots you
You can also go absolutely crazy fast with using the wall climb on invis walls
Game just freaks out
Especially in the factory endless map
SO MUCH MOVEMENT and speed
Man i wish people played dusk mp
It has so much potential
Kinda broken imo
At this point i’d have it as ftp with like a billion micro transactions
Yeah its flawed but has so much potential
Funny i say that with the sdk being a 100 times more broken
Like a good playerbase motivates good game development but now its just slept on
Like d2016 mp
Haha yea i mod dusk, nah enemies cant walk though open doors sry
There are other ventures to focus on when it comes to Dusk development.
Dusk is underrated when not looking at SP
That’s not my point
Im saying more people should see the MP
Arena shooters aregt very fun when ur new
You get max like 4 players rn
