i actually got my first sub 11 awhile ago :)

#

ive improved from 14.10 yesterday to 10.16 now

#

oh yeah that fucker kills my runs

#

i havent had issues with him since i started moving faster

#

but he killed a LOT of my runs when iwas averaging 14-15

upbeat pecan

#

first sub 10

#

very high 9 though

upbeat pecan
#

nice

crimson folio
#

annnnd now im really stuck at 9.43

#

cannot get below it

upbeat pecan
#

it starts to wall off a bit around a high 8 to a mid 9 there. going for door strat is gonna be the best way to get a mid 8 or lower

||i would just like to state that in order to make this image i had to cut out the guy from the image, give the image a red tint, re-add the guy, remove the original background on the source images for both the hat and the beard, go the dusk wiki to download a picture of the sword, take a screenshot of that picture after realizing it was a webp file and i couldn't properly download it, remove the background on that image, and then draw the coat myself in ms paint||

#

Any news when the goodies will arrive on GOG? It's been quite some time now

high oar
#

Had an idea for a new difficulty setting, no name yet but here's what i got, it's Basically Ciero Miedo with a few changes:

  1. Health kits, small and large, are disabled, you can only heal through magic potions.
  2. Ammo Pickups have their amount reduced by half.
  3. Certain Enemies (Mages, Welders, Soldiers) can now attack while moving.
  4. Quick-Saving is disabled, die once, right back to the beginning.
  5. Mage fireballs now set you on fire.
final lion
#

Also, Welders moving is the only good telegraph for when they've stopped attacking

#

So I think the Welders thing is a bad idea

upbeat pecan
final lion
#

They stop shooting when you're behind cover, but pop out and they immediately start again if they haven't moved yet

#

So them moving is the best opening

final lion
#

Since they need to get back into the attack animation

upbeat pecan
#

I feel like they could stop firing when youre behind cover and then walk and shoot when they see you too and you just listen

high oar
upbeat pecan
#

I love dusk enemies as they are, but I've often wanted to play the game with changed animation timings, or moving + attacking enemies

final lion
#

It's a really minor gripe

high oar
#

well what would you suggest then?

zealous hatch
final lion
#

I like changes 1 and 4 quite a bit

final lion
#

Idk if they'd work well per se, but they're interesting

zealous hatch
#

How about the serious sam 4 route, DOUBLE AMMO AND DOUBLE THE ENEMIES WOOOOO

upbeat pecan
#

that sounds more dusk

#

lol

final lion
#

Although change 4 is just how I normally played Cero Miedo, lol

zealous hatch
#

Susk

high oar
#

the one thing i am a bit iffy about: idk if a soldier shooting while moving would look...good, like it might look a bit awkward

zealous hatch
#

Like hl2?

upbeat pecan
#

I never really like difficulty increases thru player restrictions or nerfs. But asking the player to do more is always nice

final lion
#

Make soldiers strafe hop

zealous hatch
#

Get used to it 😎

final lion
#

Change would be very epic I think

#

😃

high oar
# zealous hatch Like hl2?

no, see in that game the soldiers walking animation was made to look natural while shooting, dusk's walking animations weren't

zealous hatch
#

Fair

#

Maybe that would be a mod or something

final lion
#

I'm not a huge fan of ammo being halved either

#

But that's more because of something like intruder mode already existing

zealous hatch
#

Pistols only

final lion
#

Lol

zealous hatch
#

Sickles only for boss fights

small hound
#

I'd be fine with ammo being halfed. There's way too much anyway.

zealous hatch
#

Gimme ur ammo

#

🖐️

high oar
#

also i'm curious about something: what effect do the difficulties have on bosses? are they just the same in each one?

zealous hatch
#

They smell better

upbeat pecan
#

I'll pretty much always die on the hill that things like ammo restrictions, health nerfing, anything that makes the player weaker as a difficulty increase feels bad to play and ends up more frustrating than fun. But things that buff enemies or become more like a master level that asks the player to build on skills they learned in other difficulties becomes the nicest difficulty increase

lapis widget
final lion
#

Problem with health nerfing is that it restricts stuff like rocket jumping cough cough Quake remaster on Nightmare cough cough

upbeat pecan
#

yea exactly

#

that was such a dumb move to make it fake hard in the remaster

zealous hatch
upbeat pecan
#

it doesnt have to just be more health

lapis widget
#

Bullet sponges are not fun

small hound
#

Spongier enemies don't make more challange.

final lion
small hound
#

I really liked how Dusks enemies have the same health on all skills.

zealous hatch
upbeat pecan
#

an enemy buff can be as simple as moving and attacking like before, or forcing resistance to a weapon that cheeses it

final lion
upbeat pecan
#

no one likes bullet sponges either unless there is mechanics to taking them down fast

high oar
#

if i were to design a game, i'd make it so that enemies have the same health and attack damage on every skill, and the main changes are their attack speed, projectiles speed, and movement speed

small hound
#

Exactly what dusk does.

zealous hatch
#

I dont mind them dealing more damage

small hound
#

Until you hit Duskmare at least.

zealous hatch
#

Im a casual pleb

final lion
#

Players are FAR less consistent than they like to think they are even against a single enemy and certain strategies that players come up could just be "kill them before they kill you" which don't work

lapis widget
#

I’d still probably have them deal a bit more damage with difficulty

upbeat pecan
small hound
#

I agree with dealing more damage. Make my mistakes more punishing.

final lion
#

I agree that it doesn't result in overall mastery

#

But it gives players a unique approach to the game which builds replayability

zealous hatch
#

I want double barrel only mode plez, replace the other types of ammo for it

final lion
#

And let the player focus on building specific skills

#

Rats only mode

zealous hatch
small hound
#

You could just go to level select, start with ssg and max shells. You'd probably be fine ammo wise if you did.

upbeat pecan
#

I just meant in terms of like making a direct step up

#

600 damage for 2 shells compared to 150 per shell for the lever action.

Omg noice

high oar
# high oar if i were to design a game, i'd make it so that enemies have the same health and...

in fact i've actually come up with an outline for 5 difficultes on a game i intend on eventually making, here's how it would work:
On easy, Every Enemy moves at half of their normal speed, and can go a full 3 seconds without attacking, also, your maximum health and armour would be increased from 150/200 to 200/250.
On hard, The Speed of Projectiles is increased by 15%, this also affects the attack speed of melee enemies. Enemies will also be in slightly larger numbers in certain areas.
On expert, every enemy has their movement speed and attack frequency doubled, and as brought up before, some enemies can now shoot while moving, certain areas will also have double the amount of enemies
Finally, there's the joke mega-difficulty, exactly the same as expert, except every enemy deals tripled damage.

final lion
#

Double enemies are fun in this type of game

upbeat pecan
high oar
lapis widget
high oar
#

you cannot stop me

final lion
#

Maybe I'm just still salty about rocket jumping being a dumb idea in the Quake remaster on nightmare

high oar
#

oh yeah that reminds me: my game would have an explosive armour pickup, a permanent power up type thing that makes all damage from blast jumping directed towards your armour, no matter how little armour you have

upbeat pecan
#

The 50% hp nerf just sounded like it came from someone who didn't really play that much quake. I don't know many people who like it who spent a lot of time in the game

final lion
upbeat pecan
#

like lets just slow down the game and punish you for movement, thats what players want

#

ah

zealous hatch
#

🧂

high oar
final lion
#

Thing is they could have just doubled enemies damage from the previous difficulty

upbeat pecan
#

yea exactly

final lion
#

Would have fixed everything

high oar
#

i just realised something: if i did make a game, i would have to play through the entire thing multiple times on every skill.
how are any game designers still sane

final lion
#

Just don't test your hardmodes

#

It's a really good idea

#

I swear

high oar
#

i wonder how much it would cost to get play testers

final lion
#

It's how you get stuff like Uncharted's brutal mode

small hound
#

That's why they have Q&A teams.

high oar
#

hey quick question: how much damage does morale absorb

final lion
#

Unless the wiki's wrong

high oar
#

honestly i barely even notice it, if they removed morale i don't think i'd be able to tell the difference

final lion
#

50% of incoming damage on I can Take It
33% of incoming damage on Cero Miedo
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH on Duskmare

high oar
#

so does every attack in the game just do a shit load of damage or something

final lion
#

Duskmare is everything from an enemy oneshots

#

except for splash damage for some reason iirc

high oar
#

no i mean in general'

#

because again, i barely notice morale having any kind of effect

small hound
#

They have high values.

high oar
#

seriously does any attack do like 1 damage

small hound
#

If the wiki is accurate Mages on Ciero Meido do 40.

high oar
#

i should mention i don't play ciero miedo, ever

small hound
#

It's just doom with fast monsters.

#

And no hitscanners.

final lion
high oar
#

yes and the projectiles go so fast and i can't outrun them and i don't like very much : (

small hound
#

Every attack being a projectile makes the game kinda easy so I need the fast projectiles.

#

You don't out run them you strafe.

final lion
#

^

#

Strafe hopping is epic

small hound
#

Hold W with A or D and hup hup hup till they're dead.

high oar
#

strafing is just outrunning in circles while jumping

lapis widget
#

yes

high oar
#

but anyway, i'm still practicing with learning how to aim while bhopping, hell my aim in general is just kinda bad, so i think i should get could at that in the game proper before i try out the mode where you have to do that

naive bridge
#

why is dusk SO FUN

crimson folio

because very fun game.

grave saddle

Fun is also very subjective.

While we tend to cry out about the death of insert genre here every once in a while, we've never been in a market more stuffed to the gills with variety and options for everyone. There's definitely issues with reskinned copypastes littering the AAA scene, ridiculous platform exclusivities and so on and so forth, but my backlog is growing exponentially.

#

There's so many games out there now that I couldn't even begin making a dent in it, even if hyperfocusing on what I'd find fun.

grim shell
#

how can I learn the game's lore

knotty tinsel
#

The trick is dont miss with the soap there's not much more to it. Its a one shot

knotty rock
#

i mean the lore is told through the gameplay partially

crimson folio
#

When I click duskworld multiplayer in GFN, nothing happens

#

closes the game, and GFN session

#

I guess it's trying to launch something else?

#

settings I might want to change, Secrets that'd be great to find early on, certain enemy behaviors?

#

and... difficulty.

crimson folio
#

i guess you could consider the following spoilers but it's heavily implied if you bother to look for lore throughout the campaign:
apparently before episode 1 ||duskdude was a treasure hunter and cultists had killed his family while he was away from DUSK, getting captured when he returned||

high oar
#

dusk mods are a blast

grim shell
crimson folio
#

In Geforce Now, clicking on Duskworld for multiplayer (on the lower right) crashes the game. I think it’s trying to run something and GFN gets confused?

mild ginkgo
#

yeah probably, i would launch duskworld separately, not through the main game

#

GFN is not under our control

crimson folio
#

oh, I don’t think that’s an option in GFN

#

oh bummer

mild ginkgo
#

we can probably fix that from our side though? maybe

crimson folio
#

that’d be cool

mild ginkgo
#

i dont know much about GFN, does it use linux as its OS?

crimson folio
#

great question, let me check

mild ginkgo
#

duskworld is a separate program form dusk, so yes that button is supposed to launch duskworld and exit dusk

#

if its using a linux filesystem, that can go awry easily

crimson folio
#

also once an app is exited, GFN closes that virtual session

#

I wonder if that’s another possibility

#

Maybe to prevent back door style hacking?

mild ginkgo
#

we can check in with nvidia to see if we can make it a launch option

#

its a launch option on steam

crimson folio
#

oh that’d be great

mild ginkgo
#

this is what you get when you play on steam

crimson folio
#

I’m google searching, no is asking about geforce now infrastructure or backend

mild ginkgo
#

my guess is that its just GFN closing dusk, and therefore closing the session

#

because dusk IS supposed to close

crimson folio
#

oh yah that makes sense, or they’d probably have to offer it an another icon for play

#

simply a duskworld option

#

other than that, runs fantastic on GFN.

#

Thanks @mild ginkgo 👍

Dusk plays like Quake on DOOM.

its basically if quake got better movement and weapons and more colors

FPS games with a controller? 🤔 Does that play well?

grave saddle
#

Plays very well.

crimson folio
#

Wil have to try it. I always assumed FPS requires keyboard and mouse.

grave saddle
#

Call of Duty wouldn't have nearly as many players if that were the case.

#

I would use some auto-aim. Dusk retains the high speed gameplay when you don't have to worry about your aim as strenuously.

crimson folio
#

Ah okay. I kind of rip van winkled and stopped playing since Quake 3.

ebon osprey
#

I've been having trouble setting up my controller for dusk.

#

When I press rt trigger it swaps weapons and then fires

#

Rt trigger is bound to left mouse

#

I can't figure out what's causing it

#

Rt bumper also swaps weapons

upbeat pecan
#

Dusk is probably the best playing fps on a gamepad I've tried in terms of keeping it true to how PC would feel

#

Call of Duty plays well on gamepad because more tactical, but Keeping games like Dusk and Doom eternal fun on gamepad is more challenging imo

ebon osprey
#

I fixed it by binding prev weapon and next weapon to different keys instead of the mouse wheel

#

I don't know why the mouse wheel was involved with the rt trigger.

#

Probably something with linux

upbeat pecan
#

if there is anything I've learned from the devs answering things, blame steam

#

I guess its messes with controllers a lot

ebon osprey
#

Aww man

#

The weapon wheel doesn't have the cigar in it

grave saddle
#

You can still find it by manually switching weapons.

lapis widget

#

so i know the weapon wheel was probably added for switch players, but i think they should at least add an option to make the weapon wheel slow down time like in doom

trying to work on rocket jumping, am i supposed to look down and go forward for rocket jumps or do it like in tf2 where i need to flick to my right and down to jump forward 🤔

grave saddle
#

Similar to TF2.

#

You're actually wanting to shoot the rivet at the crest of your jump.

#

(Or, that works for me, anyway.)

upbeat pecan
#

just shoot it down at any point you are in the air

#

if you are touching the ground it won't push you up at all

#

but for max height its actually the closer you are to the ground the better

sullen fox
#

ok thanks 🙂

upbeat pecan
#

You can use the wall on e2m1 to test

#

well practice I mean, its what I used to make sure I was getting max height jumps

#

the closer you time your rivet to when you are near the ground the higher you go. If you wait till the peak of the jump you will still get a good boost but not as much height

#

it never really matters much tho in reality

sullen fox
#

makes sense, does crouching matter for extra air time or does it not affect your hitbox in the air?

upbeat pecan
#

crouch jumping exists, but I've never seen a use for it on rivet jumps. Maybe if there is just a ledge barely out of reach

#

could be a neat idea for a trick jump map later down the line

#

but what learete said is still true tho, a lot of times I just do it at peak because you don't want it to be as floaty. You almost never need a full height jump and the riveter is so fast you can often just fire it again if youre climbing a wall

#

same goes true for mortar jumps, they're just more awkward because bouncy

grave saddle
#

My most common use of rivet jumping is mobility in DuskWorld.

#

A full jump is never required.

upbeat pecan
#
  • a full jump while moving at max speed feels like RNG because its so picky. I can clear that wall all day while standing. Do it max speed and its like 1/20 tries lol
sullen fox
#

does proximity to the ground affect more horizontal boosts and jumps as well? or just height

upbeat pecan
#

I always just kinda assumed the closer you are to the center of the explosion the more it pushes you, so if you are horizontal boosting off a wall you want to try and be close to it

#

for boosting horizontally off the ground max height is bad because it floats you and you get less boosts in

#

so i try to get the explosion to be more behind to push less up if that makes sense

sullen fox
#

what does that translate to in terms of inputs? like if im bunny hopping diagonally and wanna rocket jump the direction im bhopping, is the input jump, then switch from w to d and shoot to the side and down? 🤔

upbeat pecan
#

the most reliable way if youre on flat ground with no walls is just try and flick and shoot down beween jumps but go for low height

Yes and no.

An explosion interacts with no enemy, pacifist.

anyways, if a dusk 2 were to ever come out, i think it would be cool for it to graphically be on par with a 2004 source game, but with a much more stylized art style, sort of like a darker gothic team fortress 2 with hl2 styled environment textures

honest ruin
#

Half Life 2 was created with a 40-ish man team, a low team size that was only achievable through Valve's now famous intense headhunting process, and made over a 5 year dev cycle - coming out to about 420,000 manhours of work.
Dusk was like 2.5 people, and one of those exists to make bad takes on twitter.

People don't know what the fuck they're asking when they just throw out that they want X era work.

high oar
#

half-life 2 also came out like 17 years ago

#

what took 40 people back then can be done with a lot less people now

#

plus i really don't think it would be that hard to make textures that look a bit half-life 2 ish

#

especially with what the team has been able to do as of recent

#

oh yeah there's also the fact that the devs themeselves have expressed interest in making the game look like that

steady hull
#

I mean, just look at mods, those are usually done by a group of friends fueled by pizza and gatorade

high oar
#

i mean mods don't really count since they just use the base hl2 textures

#

finally are you really telling me that all of those people who worked on hl2 was just working on the graphics

lapis widget
steady hull
#

You're right, there's programing, level design, writting, voice acting, character design, modeling, all sorts of things

honest ruin
#

Modelling a good 2004-era 3d rigged asset still takes exactly as much time as it did in 2004, generating the assets needed for a good 2004-era level would still take as much time, the music, the sound, I won't talk your ear off because you got the mod thing.

The biggest advancement is just not having to make the engine yourself - granted, that slices the original manhour count in half - but that's still a lot of manhours for an indie team to compete with. 200k ain't no joke. There are 8500-ish hours in a year. You don't got much to work with. Everyone wants to be the next Half Life 2, but Half Life 2 devs weren't no rubes, slapping air to try and grasp the mystical dev tech they were given, they knew what they were doing and were seasoned pros.

Apart from developing Hammer, but we don't talk about that shit.

high oar
#

you're acting as if 90's style models and textures aren't also a lot of work

honest ruin
#

They are, hence these boomer shooters take a couple of years to get out. Lotta work.

high oar
#

besides, i think people over state how good hl2 looks, its aged well if you look at it for a few seconds but look at it for a few more seconds and it begins to show its age

#

the npc models only hold up because of the real faces used for the textures, and the animations which actually do hold up a lot, but aside from that the textures and models aren't as big an upgrade from goldsource as people say

honest ruin
#

So much, much more effort in the art direction and asset generation, every generation requiring exponentially larger teams than the one before, just for a "eeeeeh isn't THAT big an upgrade from goldsource".

high oar
#

look it doesn't have to look exactly half-life 2, just similar in feel
