I introduced Dusk to my nephew and he got jumpscared in episode 3 by something you haven't seen yet

#

I'm sure you'll enjoy

lone dust
#

dusk mod where the scientists all make hl1 scientist sounds

#

i want it

crimson folio
lone dust
#

epic

#

better yet: permanent dusk update where the scientists all make hl1 scientist sounds

strange axle
#

my god what are you doing?

lone dust
#

i predicted all of this, you know. all of it!

strange axle
#

funny how sometimes bad voice acting and sound quality can enhance the experience

lone dust
#

the scientist VA isn't actually that bad, it just became iconic because hl was iconic

strange axle
#

yes, i know

#

it's just that the voice has this cheese to it, ik?

lone dust
#

yea

#

its just very over-the-top nedy

#

nerdy

strange axle
#

yea

#

that plus the fact that all of the scientists look like your generic mad scientist makes it even funnier

#

they are the most scientisty scientists that i've ever seen

lone dust
#

i really love the idea of a well-respected reseach facility ran entirely by generic evil scientists doing generic evil experiments

strange axle
#

and all the good scientists are stuck in a shitty company

#

that no one knows

lone dust
#

aperture is the more insane one tbh

strange axle
#

yea

lone dust
#

at least black mesa made stuff that had practical uses

#

like weapons n shit

strange axle
#

well, a portal gun could have some practical use

#

enphasis on could

#

but since shit happened

#

now it's purpose is to solve puzzles

lone dust
#

it probably had way too many safety problems since the 50s for the public to use it

#

same with literally everything else aperture made

strange axle
#

well, it's funny

#

because one company made a lot of useful stuff

#

but caused the apocalypse

#

while the other was a complete shit-show

#

but made some very useful stuff

#

(and didn't end the world)

lone dust
#

and black mesa stole a ton of aperture's technology yet somehow their own stuff was the problem

strange axle
#

and then there's Dusk research facility

#

which is the worst of both worlds

lone dust
#

pretty much just the science KKK

strange axle
#

yep

lone dust
#

their place is cool as shit tho

#

the neobabel levels were my favourite

strange axle
#

same

#

the Erebus Reactor was cool as shit as well

#

especially the end of the level

#

my jaw dropped when i saw those colossal skyscrappers

lone dust
#

yea

#

i liked how they set up that one moment in e1m9

#

the "altars made of concrete fed with blood and bone"

#

or e1m8

strange axle
#

oh, i hadn't noticed that

lone dust
#

where they showed you where they got the gore and where they got the nargle energy earlier

#

i guess they just got the concrete from home depot

strange axle
#

damn, this game has even more details that i imagined

grave saddle
#

Oh certainly.

#

Dusk is full of environmental storytelling.

lone dust
#

i think it might have done it even better than half life

strange axle
#

yeah, i think so

grave saddle
#

Nearly two decades to finely tune what Half-Life pioneered in an FPS.. I'd hope so.

#

And yeah, Dusk sucks you in.

strange axle
#

Bioshock is also pretty good with enviromental storytelling

lone dust
#

honestly most modern FPS dont do environmental storytelling as well as hl

#

definitely

strange axle
#

seems like most if not all immersive sims are great in environmental storytelling lol

lone dust
#

any game that doesn't need cutscenes to tell you what happened is a good one

strange axle
#

i agree

#

(tho i also like some cutscenes from time to time)

lone dust
#

it works sometimes

strange axle
#

yeah, i'm not saying that EVERY game needs cutscenes

#

just saying

#

it's good to have it

lone dust
#

when it itsn't too jarring it works

strange axle
#

yea

#

also

#

forced walking sessions

#

why

#

why do devs still think people like those?

lone dust
#

what are those again

#

ive probably played through one before but i forget

strange axle
#

you know God of War?

#

the new one?

lone dust
#

yea

strange axle
#

have you played it?

lone dust
#

no but ive seen some of it

strange axle
#

ok

#

so

#

there's a point in the game where you have to help a witch

#

and she asks you to carry her pig into her house

#

and you are forced to slowly carry the pig while slowly walking to her house

#

and you can't do anything else

#

can't attack, can't really explore

#

it's basically the most linear a game can get

lone dust
#

sounds like one of the times there should just be a cutscene

strange axle
#

EXACTLY

lone dust
#

if youre not doing anything meaningful

strange axle
#

but still counts as "gameplay"

#

even though all you're doing is walking foward

lone dust
#

damn

#

same thing with parts where the game just traps you in a room and forces you to listen to some guy

#

like in doom 2016

strange axle
#

oh yeah

#

that too

lone dust
#

its a great game and i like dr hayden but those parts sucked

strange axle
#

i guess it's just because that game didn't really have cutscenes

#

except for the one at the begining of the game

lone dust
#

and wasnt it supposed to make doomguy out to not care about the story in his own game

#

they kinda force you to care anyway

strange axle
#

yeah

#

still, it's nothing major for me to complain

#

just wished less developers put that in the games

lone dust
#

that opening cutscene is the best tho

#

literally all you need to know about doom before you start playing

strange axle
#

true

grave saddle
#

Plain and simple.

#

Kill shit.

#

And be awesome while doing it.

lone dust
#

man literally too angry to die: the game

lime vale
#

What is 6DOF swimming option and how does it differ? It feels the same to standard.

grave saddle
#

You can swim in all directions.

#

Including upside down.

#

It allows for a wider range of movement underwater.

#

I think it feels more fun.

tawny igloo
#

*probably will make you sick, depending on the person

upbeat pecan
#

A 6dof game like forsaken or descent or something I could actually see new blood publishing lol

#

Or maybe some creative mapper could make an underwater map around it for dusk with some tweaks to speed

the cutty mines are very spooky

#

this game reminds me a bit of Lost in Vivo in its art style

#

maybe its cause i have bloom turned on tho but the way the flashlight acts and is an orange colour also helps

#

love the flashlight in this game its so twitchy

Oh, I hate it too.

#

It's much more fun to run.

small hound
#

Oh shit speaking of hitting switches it's been a really long time since I played, I think it was into the thresher you have to shoot a switch to climb a tower part. Can you actually do that level without shooting to get the badge?

#

I remember trying to find a work around and not having any luck.

#

Maybe it was heart of the thresher.

#

I was trying to do all badges without guides and ended up getting frustrated between that level and cutty mine pacifist really bad.

upbeat pecan
#

E2m3 you can oob straight to the end in oob, Inbound is grab the key run to end.

#

For infernal machine on a full game run you just shoot a switch after the crushers with bow and run to the end

#

Not bad to pacifist that way

small hound
#

OH RIGHT

#

Bow isn't a gun

#

I'm actually so dumb this is just like the secret in E1M2 that I spent a collective 10 hours trying to find.

upbeat pecan
#

You can fire anything you want and it won’t void anything

#

Just don’t hit an enemy

#

For low tech or pacifist

small hound
#

I thought shooting in general was what did it? I recall using rivet jumps and not getting low tech.

upbeat pecan
#

It maybe hit something somehow, or maybe the splash damage hurts you and voids it. Don’t remember fully

#

Pretty sure you can rivet jump and stuff tho as long as it doesn’t touch any enemy

#

Shooting bow and hitting an enemy will void it tho

small hound
#

I always found it funny that parries still get you pacifist.

#

Feels like I'm cheating but it really helped with E1MS.

upbeat pecan
#

Yea

small hound
#

Really need to play Dusk again soon great game.

serene flume
#

Just started playing Dusk, in level 3 and I must be missing something. Please tell me that at some point the gameplay becomes more than taking a couple steps back or to your side to not get hit, cause that's what I'm seeing in the first couple of episodes.

grave saddle
#

Things will pick up, but.. Yeah. Did you not expect dodging to become an integral part of your abilities?

serene flume
#

Okay I'll hear the game out for a few more levels, but yeah of course dodging would be an important thing. It's just that for the first few levels it felt like dodging was the only thing.

strange axle
#

the early levels are kinda closed (well, not closed like in CoD games, but y'know what i mean) but it gets better over time, trust me

#

episode 2 starts off with a bang, that's all i have to say

serene flume
#

Okay though not today, I'll go ahead and play the game some more some other day

strange axle
#

ok

serene flume
#

Why did I word it like that

#

Re-reading that sentence I wrote is making me question reality

strange axle
#

dw, it's readable

#

that's what matters

slate gorge
#

IMO the first episode of dusk was really meh for me. It picks up hard later episodes and becomes one of my favioute boomer shooters- it feels like it's designed to lull you into a false sense of what to expect before throwing it all out of the window

strange axle
#

same tbh

#

i remember playing episode 1 for the first time and thinking it was good

#

not ground-breaking

#

but good

#

and then i dropped it for a while

#

and then i picked up again at episode 2 and then i played for a while

#

and i was starting to like it a little bit more

#

and then i arrived at the Erebus Reactor and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

needless to say, i loved every second of the game ever since then

grave saddle
#

I think it's a fair summation to say episode one feels comfortable.

#

And episodes two and three feel like Dusk.

strange axle
#

i wouldn't call farms and a ghost town full of cultist freaks and monsters "comfortable"

#

but yeah

#

i get what you mean

strange axle
#

eyyyy

#

E3M9 is probably super predictable but idk it's quite fun

don't do it on DUSKMARE without saves though, you're going to be in traumatic shock

imo its not a bad level but for THE penultimate level its a little lazy

it used to be worse

#

there was a bug where if you died after grabbing ammo it wouldnt spawn

and falling off the edge would kill you

so when i was qaing it i got more and more angry till i sorta had a temper tantrum at david lol

That sounds horrible.

Musta been patched by the time I played cause I never had it happen.

#

Dusk good.

jade root
#

yes

small hound
#

I used to know the health values of every enemy I played it so much.

jade root
#

it USED to kill you

#

now it just teleports you

#

what

#

you shouldnt have

#

it teleports you

#

you prolly got hit as you were falling

#

huh

#

wonder if the kill barrier is still down there

#

ohwell

#

maybe it kills you on cm

#

but anything below it teleports

lapis widget
#

no?

jade root
#

idk i dont play dusk much

I didn't play it on anything lower than cm and I got teleported.

Thats the joke

Soap

#

I've been waiting for that customer to leave to say it damn it.

#

Probably gonna install it onto the new pc tonight. Might play it.

#

Talking about the game makes me want to play it.

crimson folio
#

if only you could eat the soap 😔

lapis widget
#

dusk players seeing a bar of soap (they can finally can a shower)

crimson folio
#

true....

#

is the large one accurate?

unknown.png
#

Fire damage is caused when an enemy or object gets set on fire. The fire will never go out, meaning that bosses can be killed by setting them on fire with a torch one single time if the player waits long enough.

#

guys, what is known about coop in DUSK?

tardy slate
#

will come after the SDK is finished

amber sparrow
#

some props definitely do 1000 damage

#

and sawblades do even more, they can instakill any boss they can be used against

#

and i think the soap is 1 billion, not that it matters at that point

prisma halo
#

coop's gonna be funny because people are totally gonna soap each other

#

you could probably block the soap by hitting it before it hits you too

"TAKE A SHOWER BRO"

proven sinew
#

How would the superhot serum work in coop?

amber sparrow
#

time moves when either player moves

#

or

#

crashes the game

#

idk how you'd even do the former and not have it feel like crap with any latency

proven sinew
#

Yea its probably easier to just not include it

amber sparrow
#

they could turn it from superhot into just slow time

#

where players can move normally perhaps

proven sinew
#

Itd be funny if only one player can use the lava suit at a time so players would race to it

amber sparrow
#

lava suit should respawn in singleplayer like the climbing things imo

#

it's just a "get to place" ability

#

even more reason to do that once co-op becomes a thing

proven sinew
#

I swear I remember being able to avoid lava damage with frame perfect hops

amber sparrow
#

nah that depends on the map

#

the specific floor you're on, i mean

#

some floors have the hurt trigger reach very very high

#

and some have it so low that you are only hurt when crouching

proven sinew
amber sparrow
#

there isn't a super consistent way of avoiding lava damage without lava suit

proven sinew
#

You can use props, but they tend to slip from under you

amber sparrow
#

idk you can circumvent climbing thig use too with props i think but those still respawn

proven sinew
#

Yea climby thing respawns

wintry scaffold
#

Pretty nice the climbing thing does respawn, as I think there are some points where it's needed, and not having it respawn'd... render a level unwinnable.

amber sparrow
#

i think there's only one timeyou need the lava suit for progression, the other times it's just for secrets but still

#

once co-op comes around i hope vene the normal singleplayer campaign will get respawning lava suits

prisma halo
#

We'll definitely be tweaking stuff in coop yeah

#

I dunno what we'll do about the serum though

#

Maybe a powerup that maxes your armor and gives you unlimited sword blocks until it runs out

#

Since one of the advantages of the serum is dodging projectiles

desert oak
#

maybe it could just make everything 50% slower

tardy slate
#

Just show a message "i aint stabbing myself with a syringe i found on the ground"

#

And you can't pick it up

wintry scaffold
#

Hmm... the serum's indeed somethin' of a headscratcher if somethin' was to be done for a co-op equivalent.

lament wharf
#

Just increase your speed every time someone else moves. GO TO PLAID!

cold palm
#

What about when you pick it up you just get +20% speed so you can dodge bullets easier

Considering it’s a power up that’s pretty much designed for single player, maybe replace it with one designed to only work for coop play

Also make it so it’s possible to kill your coop player with it, it’ll be funny

you probably need tons more passion towards a project to truly go ahead and develop it

since that's what I do

#

I used to dream big but I realized I'm literally 1 person and that's never gonna happen

#

so I began making smaller games and it boosted my self-confidence

#

because I actually finished a game and put it out to the public

#

currently got a friend to start making games with me as well and we are still gonna go small

until we get the skill and confidence to do something bigger

That defeats the purpose of ||Nyarlathotep|| as a character though

To pretty much appear as though he’s toying with you throughout the boss fight

I think you’re missing the point of Nyarlathotep

He’s a god beyond human comprehension

#

Unless you’re playing Bloodborne or something, you’re not killing a god beyond human comprehension

#

Like, the entire fight is pretty much just him toying with you as I said before

#

His last quote is good evidence of that

#

He’s not distressed in the slightest

Currently replaying Dusk for the 2nd time to get all the achievements

#

Including that annoying soap one

grave saddle
#

I'm realizing that, comparatively, Dusk's achievements aren't that bad. Especially when I'm actively trying to make the game harder on myself.

wintry scaffold
#

Can say the Low Tech achievement was a fun one for me to go for, considering all the prop chucking and sickle deflecting done to make it through the levels.

Really makes for a nice change of pace and tactics, figuring out how best to deal with some rooms and encounters without the guns at one's disposal, and kinda really made me value the guns more on a normal playthrough.

does dusk have 32 bit support? really wanted to try it out

valid dew
#

Wishing you all a merry (Dusk) red Christmas!

upbeat pecan
#

Yea it has a 32 bit beta. Not sure how up to date it is

#

And yea none of dusks achievements are frustrating to get or difficult. I think that’s exactly how achievements should be tbh. If I wanna go for ridiculously hard challenges I’ll just do it because the game is awesome and I like playing it

#

Without the need for achievement validation. I assume if they added something like an achievement for saveless e3m9 duskmare completionist most people would hate it being mandatory for 100% achievements

Btw, there are only 4/5 fully ambient songs in the soundtrack?
Seems like "Ashes to Ashes, Dusk to Dusk", View from bellow, Beautiful Blasphemy and Green Skies are the only ambient stuff i found. I mean, Bottom up could also be classed as ambient but still, just 5? Seems like I am missing some
And yes, i know some ambient parts are part of other songs(the Skin Walker for instance)

I'm afraid I'll be refunding Dusk.

#

pretty fun game, but... not my cup of tea 😔

#

the heavy horror aesthetic neither scares nor amuses me. it just makes me feel bleak and indifferent to everything, and those aren't really sentiments that go hand in hand with a fun romp.

#

I suppose horror themes just don't tend to work on me, even if gameplay wise I'd still give this game a solid thumbs up.

Dusk e1 is a what you make of it episode like many old games. If you play it slow and boring it will be slow and boring

That's a pretty contentious opinion lol

If you play it fast, it will be fast

you can get pretty much every weapon by e1m2 iirc (that is, if you even bother to find them) and complete the entire episode in a breeze.

#

eesh. all I said was that I hate San Andreas because even if the game is technically great for what it is, I just do not enjoy spending my time in a game world where just about every NPC is rude, disgusting, borderline elitistic and toxic and interacting with them brings me exactly zero joy. even killing them isn't fun.

#

same problem with Dusk, for me.

#

the setting.

#

it's bleak and dark, but not in ways that captivate me.

#

I get that it's meant to be something of a playful nod at satanic cults and whatnot 🤣 but horror just doesn't "work" for me

Mook is obtainable with a couple hours of regular discussion. The first few ranks are relatively quick to earn with later ranks being further apart. Kyle is the hardest and will take quite some time to earn.

Earning ranks should be easy for someone genuinely interested in gami_g :)

Eat ass, smoke grass, sled fast
||Smoking the cigar will restore one health point up to 100. Sliding should be used to dodge attacks. Have it set to hold to crouch for easier use. To build up speed, hold down the front and one of the side movement keys while bunnyhopping. There is no Dusk equivalent to eating ass. That is a useless tip||

crimson folio

hold crouch is for cowards

#

toggle is the true path

tardy slate
#

not crouching is ascended

#

im not going to fuckin KNEEL

amber sparrow
#

one thing i don't like about toggle is i've never played a game that indicated whether the toggle was on or off when stuck in a small space

#

whereas when i have hold crouch i can tell 100% of the time what will happen when i exit the small space

wicked tinsel
#

Man,I can't wait to buy this game

i don't think games even need crouching really

No bhoping run

#

I dare you

amber sparrow
#

in some games I have it bound to a pinky finger button and in some i have it bound to an index finger button, depends on how the game works

#

i usually sprint with pinky

proven sinew
#

yea same

#

i have sprint on shift and crouch on ctrl

wicked tinsel
#

There's a sprint button on this game?roomba

amber sparrow
#

and Prey for example has sliding if you crouch while spring forward so there i have crouching on index

#

and there i use toggle

#

i don't know if toggle crouch can even be turned off in Prey

#

anyway in many other games it's nicer to have crouch on the pinky finger so i can move in any direction easily while crouched

#

it all just ends up being confusing when switching game

#

i prefer holding though when possible

#

for aforementioned reason

tardy slate
#

Perci shut up about prey challenge (impossible)

amber sparrow
#

if there was a clear indication for toggles even when standing up isn't an option due to lack of space i'd be much more fond of toggles

Crouch jumping is useful for some parts

wintry scaffold
# marsh osprey any tips

A couple I can provide:

1: Environmental objects like barrels and boxes can not only make for cover against enemy attacks, but make pretty good makeshift projectiles. Just keep in mind the object, and more importantly how much your foe is firing in your general direction for best results on destroying your foes.

2: Those sickles are pretty slick! The main draw is in its ability to deflect projectiles with a well-timed swing. Great not only to save your own neck, but also nice to give those foes a taste of their own medicine.

3: In-fighting is absolutely a thing! Starved for ammo? Try and bait an enemy to hit another, and enjoy the show at their expense, while you save on ammo.

anyone else get huge issues trying to launch dusk?

mild ginkgo
dreamy bobcat
#

well I now I managed to get it past the caching maps screen

#

and it wont let me change any settings

#

also a bunch of not responding crashes

mild ginkgo
#

so, for one -- not responding is not the same as crashing

#

second, caching maps is exclusive to duskworld, not dusk

#

not changing your settings sounds like you are either missing, or have a corrupt configuration file

#

that would be your dusk.ini in the config folder

#

if you delete it and relaunch the game it should regenerate

dreamy bobcat
#

I should have clarified it was a duskworld issue, mb

#

thanks, ill give it a try

well youd wanna do duskworld.ini in that case
