hello pigeon bitchass

[small cairn]

[lapis widget]

Dusk.

[hexed nacelle]

dick

[lapis widget]

Sex

[hexed nacelle]

in

[lapis widget]

Cum

[hexed nacelle]

filled

[crimson folio]

bosses arent hard in dusk

honestly

[lapis widget]

Yes

[hexed nacelle]

tbh dusk is hard for me
im not good at shooters

[crimson folio]

fair

its not for everybody

[hexed nacelle]

like i play on the 2nd easiest difficulty

because im a bitch

[crimson folio]

Im playing on the easiest one rn

[small cairn]

I play a boomer shooter then get stuck and don’t play it

[crimson folio]

man I love boomer shooters that center around science fucking with religion! my favorite!

[small cairn]

Anything that’s lovecraftian, religion based, science based, etc makes for epic media

[crimson folio]

yeah, they always end up being great

perhaps its a sign

[small cairn]

writes down notes

I have a science-y game idea

[crimson folio]

shit

[small cairn]

But nothing lovecraftian as of yet— except for my ruleset expansion for D&D I’m working on

[crimson folio]

i task managered my task bar out of existence

[clear shuttle]

is there like dusk lore or is the game just how it is. cause im startin to think something evil is goin on not sure tho

[small cairn]

explorer.exe?

[crimson folio]

I HAVE NO IDEA

[small cairn]

If you haven’t finished, keep playing. All the lore you need to know is in there

[clear shuttle]

nah i beat it yesterday even tho i bought it like 2 years ago

its a good game

[small cairn]

lmfao

[small cairn]

Oh

[clear shuttle]

the level design peak high key

[small cairn]

The lore is in the game, you just have to pay attention

It’s not super explicit imo

[clear shuttle]

yea thats what i thought i was just wonderin if there was more

[lapis widget]

Ep3 probably contains the more lore in game

[small cairn]

Yeah

[clear shuttle]

oh for sure

home coming is a sick ass level

[lapis widget]

Yea

[clear shuttle]

also how does new blood as a studio work like are the dudes who worked on dusk are they working on ultra kill or are they different teams

[lapis widget]

Best way to describe it is new blood is a publisher

[clear shuttle]

oh i see

[lapis widget]

Main devs are largely independent and new blood has their own that help with the games (dev support)

David syzmanski is helping with gloomwood right now

[clear shuttle]

ohhh so dusk was just a couple of dudes and then they went to new blood

[crimson folio]

David syzmanski is a fucking mad lad

like genuinely

he makes works of art

[clear shuttle]

did u see the jerma stream of iron lung

he was live tweeting him cords of interesting shit lmao

it was fuckin goated

[mild ginkgo]

its a bit more complicated

we do have separate teams per project

however, we have people who go between them

so we all end up contributing to all the games

even if its as small as design feedback, or more direct, like level design or programming

[clear shuttle]

thats pretty cool actually

[mild ginkgo]

we arent really a publisher

its more of a uh....collective? of developers

especially right now, we are very focused on doing projects entirely internally rather than seeking to publish external stuff

although if a special enough project came along and presented itself, im certain we would consider it

[clear shuttle]

ahhh its like a group of projects that link sometimes i see

[mild ginkgo]

sorta yeah, although there are people like me who arent part of any single project

i work on all the games where i can

[steady hull]

I do have a very special project i can suggest for you guys

Kart games are a thing of the past

What you guys really need is a fishing game

[clear shuttle]

duskdude fishin

[steady hull]

He deserves a vacation to fish after the crap he went through

[mild ginkgo]

i think you might find your wishes may be closer to reality than you think :)

[high oar]

what the hell does that mean

[prisma halo]

It means what it means

[mild ginkgo]

ah and here you have another example in zombie, who also bounces between every project

[prisma halo]

||for better or worse ||

[mild ginkgo]

lol

its a unique development environment

put it that way

[dull moss]

iron lung submarine fishing dlc

[cold palm]

[steady hull]

Before i get in any trouble, i was joking

[cold palm]

ok cool

[steady hull]

Kart games are cool actually, but i wanted to be funny because fishing minigames are a meme

Then i get hit with the bombshell that NB is doing something actually fish related

[cold palm]

earl's day out complete edition

[waxen crag]

damn I read "Fighting game" instead of Fishing game

[olive cloud]

NB fighting game would be kinda cringe tho because everyone would be a zoner

I'd much rather see V1 try to beat Duskdude in a fishing contest

[waxen crag]

unless you don't make all of them zoners 🙂

[steady hull]

Doing a Deathmatch game with NB Characters wouldn't work because they all function differently

[lapis widget]

Quake champions

[olive cloud]

i mean you could say the same thing about smash bros but they still make it work

like samus and mario function completely differently but they're still both in super smash bros

[steady hull]

Yeah, Quake Champions. I want a good version of Quake Champions

[lapis widget]

Qcde

[olive cloud]

it's called QCDE

[grave saddle]

It has been said for me.

[olive cloud]

or any other arena shooter if you don't care about the whole champions stuff

i had a really depressive quake though recently

i just thought about how fucked the series is and that the devs can't make a new game in the series without making something half assed, ripped from another IP or unoriginal and then i just thought "you know what, let it die" like thats the only thing i think quake can do right now as a developer IP

people can still make maps tho

[steady hull]

If you can't make a new Quake game

Make a Spiritual Sequel

[warm raven]

apparently both quake and doom were supposed to coexist, the former would go in a multiplayer direction while the second was supposed to go in a singleplayer

forgot who said it, but safe to say that statement didn't age very well

[steady hull]

Oh not at all

I mean, Quake works perfectly for Multiplayer

[olive cloud]

yea but i absoloutly adore quake singleplayer. Thats the only shot the game has rn

[steady hull]

I need to see if for myself, would love to see another game with Quake's atmosphere

Funny enough, DUSK works perfectly as a homage to Quake in so many ways

[olive cloud]

If they make a new quake multiplayer without a singleplayer then quake will keep being dead

[olive cloud]

eh it feels more like a doom kind of game to me

[warm raven]

daikatana

[steady hull]

Get out

[warm raven]

will do

[steady hull]

I have played Doom and i dont get that at all

[olive cloud]

i mean as for the way the weapons and enviorments feel

it's closer to doom for me

[lapis widget]

[olive cloud]

quake is waaaayyy more alien and otherworldly than dusk

[proven lichen]

I heard frogs while I was driving through rural Oklahoma and I thought of dusk

then I thought of a soyjack pointing at a backwoods town saying "OMG DUSK REFERENCE???"

cuz I felt like that soyjack for thinking of dusk when hearing frog ambience

[grave saddle]

Yeah, I like randomly walking around and taking Dusk pictures.

[robust vector]

duskworld

😈

quien quiere jugar?

[crimson folio]

so are dusk maps also bsp files?

[robust vector]

😎

ok

pero quien juega

[opal pasture]

primero que nada deberías de hablar en inglés
y hay otro canal para preguntar por gente, pero son de usa o europa en su mayoría

[atomic egret]

!lang

[twilit igloo]

Please keep all discussions English only! Repeatedly speaking in foreign languages can get you muted.

[opal pasture]

i've told that to him

[atomic egret]

I had assumed so but better to have it come from the staff

[opal pasture]

sounds good to me

[distant matrix]

Hey does anyone know if duskworld has controller support

I have no idea how to play mnk at all

[stoic orbit]

Should I buy dusk on switch or pc

[crimson folio]

both.

[lime vale]

Buy both

[crimson folio]

pc is probably better but I haven't played it on switch

[wide fox]

Oh no it's the guy that actually bought Postal 3.

(I bought my copy on a sale as a joke with floor change)

[prisma halo]

I like Postal 3

[wide fox]

What next, you're from Wyoming of Iowa?

[mild ginkgo]

PC is better because you can use mouse, but if that wasnt the case, or you prefer controller, switch is better

well not "better"

but a slightly smoother experience

also with pc you get mod support

so really pc is what you SHOULD play it on

[tardy slate]

u call that "support" 😒 😒 😒 😒 😒

😒

[waxen crag]

oh snap

Scott DESTROYED with facts

[abstract skiff]

Don't destroy Scott senpai, we need him.

[crimson folio]

hey man just be glad it isn't only available on switch, then it wouldn't be moddable at all

[merry gate]

While I SHOULD playh on PC, I still WANTED the switch physical c:

[wraith cape]

Question (forgive my lack of legalese understanding): Since New Blood published Dusk, do they own the IP outright or does David Szymanski still have ownership? If he wanted to could he make a Dusk 2 and self publish like he did for Iron Lung or no?

[prisma halo]

We own the trademark but I'm pretty sure everything else belongs to David. I could be wrong though, I'm not well-versed in this

[crimson folio]

life sized wendigo plush when

[crimson folio]

honestly same, owning physical copies of niche games is sick

[crimson folio]

i would actually consider buying a life sized wendigo plush if it existed, hell I'd probably buy a 10 inch wendigo plush

[wraith cape]

haha thanks, just plain old curiosity.

[scenic dune]

not if you copy em just exactly

but if you do adaptations it might work (like in smash bros)

a good question would be if each character'd have different physics

[scenic dune]

like V1 could probably move similarly but probably not go as high (or do slam storage)

also what about the champion, he'd be similar with duskdude except on the part that he does not fly at high speeds

[high oar]

just make them all act exactly the same and have them only be the characters in model and sound

[steady hull]

But what fun would that be? Isn't the whole point of it to play as different characters and use their weapons and skills?

[high oar]

no i don't care about that i just wanna play an arena shooter with assorted weapons from new blood games

[wide fox]

Dusk Dude vs Ultrakill bot.

[high oar]

basically i want to be able to have the riveter the ultrakill coin toss revolver and the funky magic shit from amid evil in my arsenal at the same time

[steady hull]

Alright, based

I'd like to see each character having their own weapons in different categories, with different stats

[high oar]

honestly i just don't think classes work well in deathmatch style games

[wide fox]

Make that a separate game mode.

Easy.

The only issue being do the devs want to self harm that much to make it?

[steady hull]

It would be a nightmare to balance it all

[high oar]

and that's why having no classes is the better alternative

i also think it would be neat to have some non-new blood guest characters, like hrot guy and viscerafest woman

[steady hull]

Oh definetly, make it Indie Quake Champions

[high oar]

though i guess hrot guy would need to get an official design first

[ornate spire]

So I was looking through the NewBlood website, and I noticed that when it got to the Dusk section, they show a level that's not in the game. Is that an unused one or something?

I'd post the pic but I can't

[steady hull]

Just keep typing then, you'll get your ranking in no time

Can you link it tho?

[ornate spire]

https://imgur.com/UvvBqAx

try that

Unless that's a multiplayer map that they just tacked enemies on

[steady hull]

Yeah, maybe it's that

[ornate spire]

I don't recognize that location though

I haven't played much multiplayer but I've seen the maps

Dusk The Black Labrynth

[steady hull]

It looks like an Hotel of sorts. Dusk had nothing like that

Maybe it was just cut

[ornate spire]

I'm gonna tweet at David Szymanski

[desert oak]

its a custom map

[ornate spire]

How do you know?

[crimson folio]

The PR team is somewhere feeling a disturbance in the world

[boreal pike]

is it normal theres only 2 servers on duskworld

NewBlood germany and NewBlood sydney

[high oar]

i know for a fact that's a custom map because i've played said custom map, name is escaping me but i recognize it

[wise crane]

It's called Manors of the Flesh. It's by MegapiemanPHD

[ornate spire]

Gog only I imagine

[wise crane]

Excuse me?

[deft ibex]

what is the main character of this game

[lapis widget]

Duskdude

[deft ibex]

what they look like and what's their origin

[deft ibex]

what is their backstory

[robust vector]

😎

[high oar]

what

no

that's stupid

[ornate spire]

so i can play it on Steam?

[lapis widget]

it's not out yet

[high oar]

yes? why the fuck would

[ornate spire]

Ok how

[high oar]

you just..download it from the mod website

like any other custom map

[ornate spire]

Would that be moddb?

[high oar]

no

[lapis widget]

#dusk-modding

[high oar]

https://dusk.mod.io/

https://dusk.mod.io/dusk-winter-jam-2020 the map is in here

[tardy slate]

Manors of the flesh to be exact

About halfway into the level

[ornate spire]

I installed the mansion mods but the textures are missing

It came with an Lmp file but I don't know where to put it

nvm

I got it

thanks for your help

[proven lichen]

I needa play more custom maps, but th sdk is outdated and quickloading takes awhile (ironically)

[cedar mist]

i am a ultrakill player recent 100% is dusk goated or it will not be my type

[mild ginkgo]

It depends on what you like

They're very different games

Dusk is much more traditional

But it has tech and fun surprises

[cold palm]

and it also has vertical flipping and bhopping

[fading owl]

The bhopping is really really good

I wish more maps were built for it

[deft ibex]

bhopping inside of indoor spaces

[grave saddle]

Clearly you've not mastered circle bhopping.

[deft ibex]

never heard of it

you basically hit your head on the top of door frames when you bhop

[grave saddle]

It's real stupid. I just came up with the term.

But.

Bhop in a tiny circle. Das it.

Build momentum before going through door frame.

[regal dragon]

can we make dusk 20% off during steam sumer sale it’s my birthday then

[lapis widget]

[regal dragon]

is that a yes

[mild ginkgo]

it will be more than 20% most likely

[regal dragon]

holy shit

[scenic dune]

do y'all disable camera animations too?

[scenic dune]

exactly yet people say things like "If you like doom eternal/ultrakill, you'll like dusk"

[mild ginkgo]

i think there is a lot of overlap for people to like! but its not a guarantee

[scenic dune]

oh yeah, like its not unlikely

but you just cant compare

dusk is probably what older games wanted to be, with more dodging mechanics, interesting places that tell a story and awesome ost

but doom eternal is resource management x shooter x cool anims :)

and ultrakill is

well, devil may quake

and way more modern

[fading owl]

Saving up money not to prepare for my future, but to spend it all on the next Steam sale

[tardy slate]

A lot of ppl design their maps to be played in one sitting on a lower difficulty as saving/loading breaks stuff in maps

Hit me up in dms i'll give you a list of shorter maps

[high oar]

no camera animations are based

[scenic dune]

id use em but its just so much more comfortable to have em off

Bro it literally turns off recoil

[mild ginkgo]

it doesnt actually

[desert oak]

is there recoil even?

[mild ginkgo]

"recoil" in dusk is just a random inaccuracy multiplier

its different per weapon

the most special one is probably the assault rifle

where, the first shot (might actually be two) is guaranteed to be 100% accurate, then successive shots afterward become inaccurate

so if you rapidly click instead of hold it down, it will remain 100% accurate

[lapis widget]

Like in doom

[mild ginkgo]

yes, exactly

[scenic dune]

thats the bloom

the recoil is gone

[mild ginkgo]

there is no recoil

[scenic dune]

camera

go up

thats the recoil

[mild ginkgo]

it doesnt effect aim

[scenic dune]

not when you are shooting, but other things can

[mild ginkgo]

its purely visual

[scenic dune]

if you flip your gun, you slightly go up

i tried it and yes, if you shoot while its up

it does shoot up there

[mild ginkgo]

ok

[scenic dune]

i have not tried with recoil from shooting but in general, it does move your crosshair

[mild ginkgo]

crosshair isnt even where bullets are aimed

its pretty wild actually

youll note the impacts are just below where your crosshair is

[scenic dune]

that does happen, yes

okay so yes, recoil by itself is not a thing, it kicks back the gun but its fast enough to not do anything

however

flipping your gun does change your crosshair position

[mild ginkgo]

yes

that is not recoil

[scenic dune]

and there is no cheat for this, but i am quite certain that if you were able to cancel reload animations, you could probably see that the reloads do actually change your crosshair position too

im gonna see with walkin

[mild ginkgo]

yes, they do change your crosshair position

[scenic dune]

also

this one is a bit more important

changing weapons

[mild ginkgo]

but its purely visual, as it is not true recoil -- it doesnt change your base position

[mild ginkgo]

if you allow your weapon to cycle, youll end up at the same spot

[scenic dune]

yes

if you allow it to

but maybe you just wanna get to it

again its kinda small since

its a small downwards movement

but it can bother

[mild ginkgo]

thats correct

camera movements will effect your aim

recoil will not

[scenic dune]

it wont, but the mind does play a role

and if you feel like you are aiming worse, you might actually aim worse

[mild ginkgo]

yeah thats why we provided an option for players who cant handle the motion

[scenic dune]

but, all things considered, fucking giving an option to turn it off is great, props for that

[scenic dune]

yes

[scenic dune]

go dusk

[mild ginkgo]

i think most players will find no practical use for that level of precision in dusk however

theres no locational damage, and the hitboxes are the size of a barn

[scenic dune]

yeah

for the gameplay of dusk, its really really really minor

but it can play a lil trick on your mind and make you feel worse

[mild ginkgo]

certainly

[scenic dune]

like when i play without em, it feels wrong, but it feels right at the same time

[mild ginkgo]

for people comfortable with camera motion, its a big upgrade to game feel

impact of weapons firing etc

pretty standard stuff

but for players wishing to seek out maximum performance of their shooting, yeah its unsurprising to find them turning them off

high level duskworld players for example

or speedrunners

most of them turn stuff like that off

definitely both are totally reasonable

[scenic dune]

yeah

just considering it itself is great

[mild ginkgo]

well if theres an option we dont have, that players want, we will usually add it

within reason

(flick stick is not within reason)

cutting that one off at the pass

[scenic dune]

flick stick?

[mild ginkgo]

its a psychopath way of aiming

i wont link it here because i refuse to advertise for it

but its easy to google

if you cant tell i hate it

[scenic dune]

i'd be on board with it if it werent for the fact that now you have no up and down

not all controllers have gyro

[mild ginkgo]

im not on board with it because its bad

[prisma halo]

gonna detect if your steam account is playing and only offer flickstick controls if so

[scenic dune]

lol

[scenic dune]

well you can do this

if its good for speedruns im sure they already found out

[mild ginkgo]

yeah, we made that skip slightly harder on the switch version

[scenic dune]

noted

its a skip

[mild ginkgo]

its not a route we want players to accidentally take

put it that way

and we had slightly too many stumbling across it

[scenic dune]

huh

i really wanna do a rush-y run of this game but i think the best way for me to do that is with inf ammo lol

like its not that hard to just grab some ammo but i just dont wanna do it

[mild ginkgo]

just slap in that ammo cheat and let it rip

you can do the cheats while paused as well if you just wanna use ingame time

so you arent losing seconds to typing

[scenic dune]

nah i dont wanna speedrun

problem is that you have to input em for each level tho

[prisma halo]

So you want cheat persistence?

[scenic dune]

sumn like that'd be nice

i understand why it resets but maybe add a lil "nbresist" or sumn that just keeps your cheats

it'd be weird tho cause it doesnt show any "you have X cheat active!" thing

[scenic dune]

soo you could play with cheats for a while and not notice if you had this

[mild ginkgo]

we actually have a system like that for ultrakill lol

[scenic dune]

i know

i have not said "you know, like ultrakill" on purpose

but yes

like ultrakill

[mild ginkgo]

lol

its ok to to reference our other games nobody will be mad

[scenic dune]

aight

ammo conservation

[mild ginkgo]

time to macro that

[wide fox]

[scenic dune]

holy shit i can press r

[wide fox]

Mentioning Ultrakill to these innocent kids! How could you?!?!

[scenic dune]

too late, ultrakill is my favourite game

fucking

best thing ever

[wide fox]

[mild ginkgo]

well, i have to live with working on it , so people can survive mentions of it

[scenic dune]

oh yeah uh

lil request

for dusk

im sure no one else mentioned this but

add sex

[mild ginkgo]

😔

[wide fox]

Little request for Dusk, add GameCube controller support to switch.

[mild ginkgo]

does it not work?

we never tested anything like that lol

[wide fox]

I have no idea, probably not.

[scenic dune]

okay, that was actually kind of fun, imma do it again

[mild ginkgo]

i would imagine it does?

[wide fox]

3D all-stars didn't support GameCube controller for a bit even with Super Mario Sunshine.

[mild ginkgo]

as long as you use the official gamecube adapter, it should work

idk ,, maybe even unofficial ones

maybe ill buy one just to test it lol

and fix it just for you

(if it doesnt work)

(it should)

[wide fox]

[mild ginkgo]

do you have a gamecube controller adapter?

[scenic dune]

hatred towards cultist

[wide fox]

Not currently. I was going to get one soon.

And try it on Dusk for the memes.

[mild ginkgo]

lmao the R presses are very fast

[wide fox]

I mean this is a serious suggestion they have a gun to my head.

[mild ginkgo]

i just need to find someone with that setup

an i can just give em a dusk key

[wide fox]

I mean, it's missing clickable sticks and 1 bumper but has analog triggers.

That could work for dusk.

[scenic dune]

thanks

sadly i cant do it with my left hand, i switch to right

hmmm

[mild ginkgo]

you wont be able to crouch, so that coul dbe a problem

you can remap though

[wide fox]

Just toss that to the Dpad I'd think.

[scenic dune]

those cultitsts have like 700 health btw

[mild ginkgo]

god the gamecube dpad

perhaps the most cursed thing ever

[scenic dune]

and you do 10 damage i think for every flip

[wide fox]

[scenic dune]

okay, this was with my left hand

ight no more no more

[wide fox]

Oh yeah isn't rebinding planned for Switch in the next update?

[mild ginkgo]

we suggest rebinding via the built in OS features

[wide fox]

Ohhh

Alright.

[mild ginkgo]

maybe we will add it to the switch version

[scenic dune]

doom eternal be like:

[mild ginkgo]

but we quite liked the OS menu for it

did a better job than we ever could lol

[mild ginkgo]

lol

that is very doom eternal

[scenic dune]

thank you, i enjoy it a bunch

its just

its more "Okay, you are supposed to do this when you see this enemy"

[mild ginkgo]

yeah its just kinda tiring tbh

[scenic dune]

or "this when that", in general, dusk is a retro shooter, and retro shooters only follow that for like

"uh dont use a super shotgun for a far away target dumbass"

[mild ginkgo]

i like eternal, but the formula gets pretty stale after a certain point

its just: cycle through the good weapons as fast as you can

[scenic dune]

also thats something people kinda get wrong, like they say "oh yes how bold, it does not have reloads! it also uses old textures! how innovative!"

and like

yeah but

no?

[wide fox]

Then I'll use OS rebinding

[scenic dune]

its just david said "man, i want better quake campaign" (or whatever other boomer shooter you want)

[mild ginkgo]

i dont think ive seen you use the same emoji twice ever

you have so many

[scenic dune]

like its not "i will make a new game with older features!", its "i will make an old game!"

[scenic dune]

i've seen him use that heart one

[wide fox]

I reuse often but yeah I have a whole lot.

[scenic dune]

thats fun for me idk

[mild ginkgo]

its fun for me as well

[scenic dune]

keep track of the enemies in the arena, ammo and health

i like doin combos

[mild ginkgo]

but it gets stale quick for me

not enough enemies

[scenic dune]

i can kinda see it

like if you are good at it

[mild ginkgo]

now give me eternal with serious sam number of enemies

[scenic dune]

it can get to a point where "whew okay did it"

"did it again"

"oh yeah"

"uhmmm"

i mean i wasnt playing on nightmare but still

[mild ginkgo]

yeah i only played uv

not gonna bother with nightmare

i dont have that kind of free time 😅

have too much work to do making other games

[scenic dune]

fair enough

oh and im playing through it on nightmare now and let me tell ya, its just that enemies do more damage, for now

so if there were moments where you went "oh shit oh FuKO HOH hokay i got away lol", i dont think you will survive those in nightmare

[mild ginkgo]

yeah i have a feeling id get killed a lot

[scenic dune]

well thats it

especially in the beginning when you only have

grenade launcher
half sniper
lol bad plasma

im sure im gonna have fun by the end but man

why even lock air control in a rune dude

Also it might get stale but thats also how I play dusk, in a way

If
-Soldier
-Bull
Use lever action shotgun

If
-Rat
-Cultist
-im damn sure that guy is low
-Sometimes soldiers
Use pistol/pistols

If
-Welder
Hunting rifle

Because of that mindset i dont like the lever action shotguns that much since SSG beats em lol, but now im starting to use em for no reason

[mild ginkgo]

hey there is no correct way to play dusk, so whatever you enjoy is the right answer

[tardy slate]

If
-enemy
Use cigar and bhop to the end

[scenic dune]

If
-Enemy
Use pistol/shotguns/hunting rifle/mortar/riveter and flip em till they die

[mild ginkgo]

when is david going to add bhopping on your head back tbh

[scenic dune]

See, thats my issue, and its not personal to dusk, thats just retro shooters

[mild ginkgo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZZVBlE6Ado

classic

[scenic dune]

Like on my first full playthrough (i started playthroughs of dusk a few times and never finished em) i was playing cowardly

And nothing told me that it was the right or wrong way

[scenic dune]

Basically peeking from cover and bhopping away

Which is only valid for cowgirls

[wide fox]

Dusk with flick stick aiming.

[mild ginkgo]

ok no thats wrong

[wide fox]

[scenic dune]

Say its valid, but its not that fun

But yknow, that one saying

Players will optimize the fun out of their game

Again, not Dusk's issue, David wanted to do a very boomer-shooter like, he did it

[scenic dune]

So you end up not doing the fun thing

But then

ehem

Certain game

Yknow

Hehehehehdhdhehdh

Certain game

[mild ginkgo]

ultrakill?

[scenic dune]

At least hints you that you should be aggressive

[mild ginkgo]

you can make that game not fun too

just watch underthemayo play it

[scenic dune]

Yeah, i realized

[scenic dune]

Who

[scenic dune]

Absolutely, but like it at least gives you some more tools

[mild ginkgo]

some random youtuber

[scenic dune]

Okay, dusk bhop, fair enough

[mild ginkgo]

he decided the game wasnt very good because he played it basically using only the pistol

and in an incredibly boring way

[scenic dune]

But like idk, its never explicitly mentioned in game, it feels like a half cheat

Its just

That easy to do, and the reward is huge

[scenic dune]

Wait

I watched this guy's video about doom eternal's TAG2 thing

[mild ginkgo]

yes probably

[scenic dune]

What the fuck, this guy played ultrakill wrong? How?!

[mild ginkgo]

not wrong

just in a boring way where he had zero fun

so he made a review about it

[wide fox]

Wtf what can't you insta kill with props?

[scenic dune]

Your obese mo-

[wide fox]

Metal "Dusk option selected sounding ass" box one shots strawman.

[mild ginkgo]

yeah i think that box does 800 damage

its not quite soap tier

but it does a lot

[wide fox]

Good enough for now I suppose.

[scenic dune]

So wrong

[mild ginkgo]

i wont say wrong because reasons

[scenic dune]

Lol that might 3-shot the cowgirl

[mild ginkgo]

but i wont stop you from saying it :)

[scenic dune]

Lol

Okay so i think its the video where he is held hostage

And i do have to agree, the game does not force you to play fun

But it very, very heavily encourages it

[mild ginkgo]

being forced to do things is lame

[scenic dune]

Dusk doesnt force but it doesnt fully encourage, only through bhop its kind of a "yknow you can just run around right"

[mild ginkgo]

one of the biggest things youll notice across all of our games, is we almost universally never take control away from the player

theyre always free to do as they please

[scenic dune]

Well not that kind of force

I mean more of

"Dude okay fine you wont do this, get fucked", like a bit more harsh

[mild ginkgo]

yeah

thats what i mean, we never limit the things they are allowed to do

[scenic dune]

Oh well

[mild ginkgo]

sure there are some exceptions, but usually that just feels bad

[scenic dune]

And yeah thats fair

I just prefer when the game is clear

Cause then i play in a not so fun way

And it aint cool

[mild ginkgo]

definitely some instruction is good

[scenic dune]

So i wonder "what is the right way"

"well um.....nothing drops from the heavens so..."

[scenic dune]

yes

[mild ginkgo]

but take for example ultrakill, almost nothing is explained, you just find it by experimentation

the only tutorial you are given really is "heal with blood" lol

[scenic dune]

Dusk lacks it, but, again, thats what David was doing

[scenic dune]

Well yeah but you see a style meter

A big shiny shaky style meter

o boi you telling me i should kill faster? mmmmm

[mild ginkgo]

but even then, youre never going to discover slam storage, or projectile boosts with that

[scenic dune]

"Im gonna blow up shit with the super sh- reloading for almost 2 seconds oh okay im uh gonna peak from this wall then"

[scenic dune]

Oh yeah absolutely

Like i can see why you would play worse

But i believe its

Some very big obvious encouragement

[mild ginkgo]

granted, the next update will be making changes to how style is calculated, but you can get high ranks playing very boring in ultrakill as is

[scenic dune]

True that

[scenic dune]

also it WILL?

oh fuck

[mild ginkgo]

but thankfully, the game encourages experimentation a bit more than that

yes it will

there has been an overhaul to how "stale" weapons get with repeated use

[scenic dune]

Like you can play in incredible ways and you dont get more rewarded than spammy projectile boost here

[scenic dune]

Yeeeeeeeesss

I myself try that

omg is the staling large enough to actually make you use the nailgun?

[scenic dune]

Game needs to be harder, in general

But there are 2 difficulties left so

But if we take the game as it is now, it is definitely kinda easy

[mild ginkgo]

ultrakill does not need to be harder lol, yeah there are difficulties you dont have access to yet

[scenic dune]

It doesnt need to be harder

I think if the game wants to be that stylish, it should

Bro, wanna know a sick trick to

1. Stay in the air
2. Instakill those shoulder head things?

well, instakill practically any fodder

other than the flamethrower guys but those are walking explosions so

[scenic dune]

grapple < jump < punch with red arm

(oh wait you are a dev i think you might know lol)

[mild ginkgo]

hahaha

its a good combo!

[scenic dune]

i expect you to know about the jumping but not the combo

[scenic dune]

oh, it is quite delicious

it also heals 20 health for free!

well, if it kills the enemy

(dusk channel, i dont care now :P)

[wide fox]

Unhinged 360° control with analog sticks scare me.

[high oar]

why are you talking about ultrakill here this is the dusk channel

[wide fox]

Oh wait, is Dusk only 8 directions?

No it has more.

[mild ginkgo]

it used to be 8dir

but that was changed

[remote flax]

how to add a map?

[desert oak]

#dusk-modding check pins

[remote flax]

i use new UNITY version

downloaded from l█st-g███.██ (█cked because pirated ver)

so it not modifying

give me free but modifying ver

[desert oak]

you have to have the sdk version

[remote flax]

send it

right f█cking now

[desert oak]

were not supposed to talk about piracy

but imagine distributing the sdk version as the base game

[twilit igloo]

@remote flax, please do not discuss politics.

[desert oak]

the evilest thing i can imagine

[remote flax]

i am russ

[desert oak]

cant you buy?

[remote flax]

so i can't buy games at steam

[mild ginkgo]

i am sorry, but we cannot provide you with support for illegitimate copies of the game

[desert oak]

he wants the sdk version

[remote flax]

i am russ

[prisma halo]

lol

[remote flax]

i can't even buy SUPERHOT MCD

[desert oak]

give him so he can play my map

[mild ginkgo]

i understand that, and i am sorry this is a difficult situation

[prisma halo]

Long story short, you need a separate version of DUSK called the SDK

Which is what allows you to make and play mods

Unity isn't required for making maps

[remote flax]

so yeah

if i can't buy games at steam

i will download pirated version

[desert oak]

you wont find the sdk version

[prisma halo]

We don't really care if you pirate the game, just don't talk about it here because piracy discussion is against the rules

[remote flax]

so

i need a SDK version of DUSK

someone send me it

please

[tardy slate]

To be fair
Now, IM NOT discussing piracy

But we ruslands cant add funds to steam rn lol

Just a lil fact

[prisma halo]

Yeah it's understandable, just against server rules is all lol

[tardy slate]

Oh i didn't read enough woops

[wide fox]

Remember to obtain Postal 3 without paying for it!

[amber sparrow]

why does steam say dusk takes up 9 GB when i dont have any DLC or beta selected

maybe the number will fix itself when the download is done

there's no way dusk is 9 GB without DLC or SDK

[high oar]

last time i checked it was 8

[amber sparrow]

dam

oh yay dusk runs at 30 fps on my new laptop

e1m1

i didnt get it for games tho

[desert oak]

you should see hrot

160 minimum on my newish laptop

[high oar]

For real hrot might be the best running game i've ever played

it loads as fast as my nuts and i've never had a single frame drop

[proud whale]

Finally can get back to dusk

Thing is

Im still on ep2

[deft ibex]

I am on episode 2, I am good

3*

[cunning spindle]

just found out that the person who made music for this game remade every doom 1 and 2 song, and made music for doom eternal TAG 1 and 2. very cool.

[steady hull]

Andrew Hulshult the king

[cold palm]

Since David wanted to recreate the rendering style of old PC games like half life, quake, and many others, why did he use the standard shader instead of legacy vertex lit

[crimson folio]

half life is based

[mild ginkgo]

Legacy vertex lit has several limitations, and also dusk uses the emissive channel to fake dynamic lighting

also initially, there was a planned feature to be able to turn on normal maps, specular, etc to be able to make dusk look like an HD mod

[wide fox]

What else is Dusk faking?

Spit it out.

[lapis widget]

A good game

[rancid ether]

man

[wide fox]

Just like HL2 then?

[lapis widget]

Yes

[wide fox]

Damn it.

[lapis widget]

Where’s my valve puzzles!?

[wide fox]

At least it's a fun fake and not FPS games for dumbshits faking.

(Not going to go on a full HL2 rant I hope.)

[mild ginkgo]

POV: You are playing a game that is not very fun

[wide fox]

Valve: Wouldn't it be funny if we made a game tailor made for an "accessible" difficulty instead of actually making a sequel to HL1?

[cold palm]

hl1 and hl2 are so different that it's hard to realize that they're from the same series

but if it wasn't for hl2, we wouldn't have the stanley parable

[waxen crag]

THIS IS HOW DUSK WILL LOOK LIKE IN 2013

[wide fox]

It's not that. It's just I wish for a proper sequel.

[wide fox]

Who is remastering Dusk every year?

[lapis widget]

Dev support

[wide fox]

Someone check up on 500

[prisma halo]

The vertex lit shader also doesn't support lightmaps

[crimson folio]

half life 2 is a technical marvel like the original

every half life game has been revolutionary

and I cannot wait for whatever comes out on the steam deck

david is an expert at capturing that old school aesthetic

[fervent kelp]

Dunno which channel is the best place for this, so I'm defaulting to here:
Anyone know what ol' Szymanski's plans are, now that Iron Lung is released? Does he have any upcoming plans for cool new games?

[crimson folio]

this is a #gami_g question tbh, still a good one

[fervent kelp]

should I re-post it to there?

[lapis widget]

doesnt really matter

[crimson folio]

yeah and to answer your question, probably

he seems passionate about his work so I don't think he'd be stopping any time soon

[scenic dune]

he's helping with gloomwood, and also doing his own secret thing probably idk

[cosmic condor]

[crimson folio]

is there a way I can get dusk's assets

without ripping them from the games files?

hold on let me check something

yeah sick ok whats a good software for ripping unity assets

[wise crane]

Opting into the SDK branch will allow to access many of Dusk's assets

[crimson folio]

thank you

i love dusk's textures

[prisma halo]

If you want a specific asset just ask me and I can send it to you when I have free time

[crimson folio]

and I wanna add a dusk reference to a gmod map

[prisma halo]

But most assets are readily available in the SDK yes

[crimson folio]

thats actually really sick

I'll see what I can dig up from the SDK

||I thought that intoxigator was a secret boss and his son popping up was just the result of me killing him||

[opal pasture]

intoxigator its just a boss

you have to press the button for finish the level

[grave saddle]

Maybe the real boss was the Big John we made along the way?

[opal pasture]

it could be

[lavish raptor]

So its optional?

Is there any consequences for not beating it?

[grave saddle]

Nope!

[opal pasture]

i don't really know

[grave saddle]

Except, well, the door lowers very slowly. You'll be kiting for a bit.

[opal pasture]

i've never tried it

[grave saddle]

Against a boss that can conceivably one tap you.

[lavish raptor]

I suppose you miss out on a kill too

[opal pasture]

1 kill isn't nothing when you actually want to have fun

[crimson folio]

gonna do a pacifist run

might as well also do intruder mode on top of it

[high oar]

every boss, hell every enemy is optional

that's how you get the pacifist achievement

Amazing artist tho

[sleek agate]

after the valentine’s artwork a dusk dude body pillow just makes sense

It's even freakier that Dave posted that on his feed, because it's basically fanart of him

Because his face is Jacob's face, right?

[proud whale]

The ultrakill pillow curse

Anyway good art

Actually this is better than what happened with ultrakill

[steady hull]

This is exactly what happened to Ultrakill

[sick pecan]

💀

[desert oak]

ok but ultrakill body pillow has: angel, robot

dusk body pillow has: duskdude, jacob, tentacle monster, blood, crystals

[sleek agate]

Soap too

[sick pecan]

Mmmm soap 😋

[olive cloud]

soap daddy 😩

[crimson folio]

in some of the levels you appear to be (usually teleport) inside a huge ribcage

I always though you would actually get to fight whatever you got inside at, is there some speculation what does were? 😄

[sick pecan]

What did 3x108 fan mean by this?

[sick pecan]

No idea but it’s a cool area

[lone tangle]

just finished my first playthough of dusk, was not a smart idea to try cero miedo first

[crimson folio]

You hate the mutant goats right 😄

[crimson folio]

the first time I saw them I thought the bone balls were some kind of white blood cells inside the larger entities

[sick pecan]

My brother in Christ you mean the Wendigos?

[sick pecan]

Yikes that’s an L

[crimson folio]

Nah, the black phillips

[lone tangle]

I wanna do duskmare just for fun to see what it's like

[sick pecan]

You’re always 1 shot

[sick pecan]

Jakob my beloved

[sick pecan]

[lavish raptor]

As a benefit you'll technically always be at max health and morale 👍

[lone tangle]

that sounds like a nightmare especially against big john

[crimson folio]

If your FPS skills are rusty like mine, you die a ton until you relearn to constantly strafejump

[sick pecan]

True

[sick pecan]

Just crossbow him

[crimson folio]

Especially with everything freaking shooting so fast at you on Ciero

[lavish raptor]

Gonna assume for duskmare constantly saving and then abusing soap is preferred

[lone tangle]

I found that the soap wasn't too practical in most situations in cero miedo

it was hard for me to toss I guess

[lavish raptor]

In intruder mode prop damage is more useful cause your ammo gets reset on every level

Soap is pretty much just to "skip" killing a boss

[sick pecan]

I’m mad I can’t bring the soap through the portal in E3M10 to give Jakob a shower

[lone tangle]

I was very sad when I realized I couldn't just soap him

but I figured out that I can shoot him with the crossbow while he's in the green electricity egg thing

[crimson folio]

hahah never thought of that one, always thought the the green "energies" cancelled each other out

it took me forever also to figure out the hunting rifle makes the Nyarlathotep fight a lot easier

[lone tangle]

I liked to use the pistols to shoot the light beams cos I could just spam them and it would usually connect at some point

[lapis widget]

At least they’re better than the ultrakill ones

[opal pasture]

i agree with you

and i wasn't expecting by any way seeing these bodypillows
