dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk

[thorn trout]

retro but not super crunchy

[rancid ether]

That would be a nice change of pace

I’ve noticed ultrakill has slowly evolved to look more ps2 like instead of ps1

[thorn trout]

Yeah

[lapis widget]

Interesting

[steady hull]

Enough PS1 Graphics, time for the PS2 Revival

[rancid ether]

It begins

[proud whale]

Take a look at the original unreal

[thorn trout]

I wouldn't be opposed to doing something Source-esque too, but who knows

[cold palm]

Just don't make it as meh as half life 2

[proud whale]

Despite being out before hl1, looked really nice for its time

[cold palm]

the main problem i have with that game is how slow it is

[thorn trout]

Well it would be a Dusk game, not a Half-life game

[steady hull]

I always imagined it looking a bit like Blood 2 actually

[cold palm]

well yeah

[steady hull]

Dusk 2 could be the Blood 2 we never got

[cold palm]

dusk != half life

[rancid ether]

True

[thorn trout]

Pro tip tho, if you're wanting to start a retro throwback shooter right now, there's an open niche for Half-life style games, and I expect people are gonna want more like that in the next year or so

[steady hull]

Give a few more years, like 6 or so, and the Indie scene will finally arrive at PS3 Level graphics

[crimson folio]

blood 2

morbius tie in

[rancid ether]

I’ve been thinking about starting an fps project but with the small problem that I have a shitty computer and don’t know how to make games

But I’ll get there someday

[proud whale]

Me too

[thorn trout]

👍

[steady hull]

Can't wait for indie games with immersive gameplay to come out

[rancid ether]

[steady hull]

I know it's a niche, so there are likely only 3-4 games like it, but are there any games that fit that currently on the market?

[thorn trout]

Hmm nothing I can think of that are specifically targeting that but I could be wrong.

[jade root]

open niche for dooom3-likes 😎

[steady hull]

Perilious Warp already exists

[jade root]

(which is still a half life-style game)

PW is more Chasm imo

and i can fart longer than it takes to beat that game

[steady hull]

Yeah, not a good example

[jade root]

the only thing we've gotten close to HL is Red Alliance but that game is kinda stank

[steady hull]

Well that's a bummer

[high oar]

i think the problem is many people think "half-life style" is kinda vauge, but i think there are some key elements to take into consideration:

1. Slower paced game play, probably with reloading
2. More intelligent enemy ai with more advanced behaviour
3. Heavy emphasis on storytelling
4. And i really do believe this to be an essential component, NPC Companions

[amber sparrow]

Davie Semantics

[jade root]

pretty much

[opal plover]

Something that kind of mixes HL 2's setting and athmosphere with HL1's gunplay would be pretty cool

[mighty rover]

Dusk 2 but its quake 4

[opal plover]

Dusk 2 but it's a multiplayer only arena shooter

[high oar]

Dusk 2 but it starts with you

one thing i don't know why

[hollow topaz]

I'd rather see a rise in retro inspired shooters with more complex mechanics tbh. Stuff like Doom Eternal and Ultrakill.

I feel like that's the best way to evolve this style of shooter, considering that their main appeal is how fast and action packed they are compared to the rest of the genre.

^ more advanced ai as well, forgot to include that

[jade root]

i wanna circle strafe and shoot rockets

not play dmc in first person

go back to ultrakill land

[hollow topaz]

I literally prefer Dusk over Ultrakill lol

DE is a better example, but there are so few fast paced retro shooters that have deep combat

[jade root]

even worse

back to DE land

[hollow topaz]

God forbid fast paced shooters are more than just run and shoot

[jade root]

i dont think adding a dash to the movement is very big depth

[deft ibex]

doom eternal is not a retro shooter

it is anything but that

go back to doom discord

[crimson folio]

ah hell nah

[hollow topaz]

You're right, it's an evolution of retro shooters. Which we desperately need before this genre becomes washed out

[deft ibex]

the only thing I think is retro in ultrakill is the graphics

[hollow topaz]

I'm not even talking crazy depth. Just seeing stuff like weapon mods and enemies with more than one attack would be nice

[crimson folio]

honestly im still the surprised the boomer shooter genre is still doing decently well

[hollow topaz]

I think it's mostly cause there's a huge desire for fast shooters

But that can't carry retro shooters forever

[lapis widget]

What

[deft ibex]

galvatron tell them that they stink or smth

[mighty rover]

An obvious statement but I think many fans of retro shooters want what makes retro shooters retro shooters. DE is a good game, but it forks off heavily and misses a lot of the classic feel which can be divisive. A lot of retro shooters have plenty of depth, as much so as DE, its just they don't always guide you into it as part of the core game

[jade root]

DE and UK are more their own genre of shooters more than anything

[crimson folio]

what

[jade root]

the arcadey simpleness of doom and quake is why i play them

i dont wanna think of 13 different ways to take down a marauder

i want to use a rocket launcher and gib him

[deft ibex]

doom eternal is simply just a movement shooter

and that's it

[crimson folio]

doom eternal is alright but the community is just something else

[jade root]

and megawads have time and time again shown how indepth you can take that simple arcadey shoot and run with it

[crimson folio]

anyways uhhh dusk is cook

cool

[lapis widget]

Simple gameplay,thoughtful levels
That’s how I like my shooters

[deft ibex]

the simpleness is a part of what makes a retro/throwback shooter, a retro/throwback shooter

[hollow topaz]

Yeah, that's fair

[crimson folio]

the gameplay is simple but ill usually get stuck on a level looking for a keycard or something

[hollow topaz]

I guess the point I was trying to make is that retro shooters should start evolving into more than just retro shooters

Not changing the core gameplay, but expanding on it and making it less simple

[jade root]

i would rather movement shooters stay movement shooters and retrofps remain simple

[deft ibex]

also something that makes a retro/throwback shooter a retro/throwback shooter is getting lost in them

[jade root]

weapons mods and the like are fine and all

but if it gets to the level of having to do frame perfect grenade throws and weapon swapping to "efficiently" take out an enemy, that shit can take a hike

[crimson folio]

yeah i got stuck on the second level of duke 3d looking for a keycard

but then again im a dumbass so

[mellow sundial]

hey, sorry if this question has been asked a bunch, but ive heard about the dusk comic and idk where to get it.

[lapis widget]

[hollow topaz]

I quit duke 3d after the fourth level cause I got sick of trying to find where I'm supposed to go lol

[mellow sundial]

oh sorry.

thought it was already out

[jade root]

there is a graphic novel that you get if you buy the intruder edition

[crimson folio]

the gameplay in duke 3d is not as good as doom

[jade root]

that will be in your goodies folder

[lapis widget]

No@longer for sale

[crimson folio]

and i don’t even like doom all that much

[hollow topaz]

Yeah fair

[mellow sundial]

oh god, i am stupid

[deft ibex]

it's very possible to say play doom eternal simply (how the devs intended it) but most pc players like doing a bunch of tech and shit and that's fun and all but doing something like mowing down tons of enemies is fun asf

[deft ibex]

seems like it's for sale to me 🤔

[mellow sundial]

actually, sorry is there any way to get if, if you didnt buy the intruder edition, without just purchasing the whole bunch again.

[jade root]

there should be just an upgrade option

check the store page

[mellow sundial]

i dotn see it, but it is late at night and i may be blind

ill just have to survive without it for now. but if they ever do a physical release, you bet ill pick that shit up.

[jade root]

thats prolly what galv meant

which sucks

sorry

unles you already have it

check your dusk directory

[mellow sundial]

nope, i dont

[jade root]

oof

sorry then you might be sol

[mellow sundial]

sol?

[jade root]

shit out of luck

[mellow sundial]

ah yeah

[jade root]

sorry bout that

im sure you can uh

find it free somewhere

[deft ibex]

stop calling this guy shit please

[jade root]

if you look hard enough

[mellow sundial]

but, on the plus side, it did make me download the goodies dlc just to check if it was in there, and theres some interesting stuff in there

[deft ibex]

rule 8

[jade root]

dude shut up

im tryn to help a homie out

[mellow sundial]

i am a good law abiding citizen. i would never do something like that, no, definetley not

[crimson folio]

dusk

[mellow sundial]

like damm, the kill the intruder wallpaper is pretty cool

i might use that.

im glad im getting back into dusk. id stopped a bit into chapter 3, and just never picked it back up, until earlier this week. and goddam, it slaps.

i mean, i suck ass but it slaps.

[rancid ether]

yes

[hollow topaz]

Episode 3 is peak Dusk

By far

[mellow sundial]

as i say when recomending it to friends, any game where you can do backflips with a double barrel within the first five minutes is gotta be good.

i just quit after sucking at melee at the start of chapter 3, then got busy, and didnt pick it up agian for a while.

so im looking forward to chapter 3, which i basically know nothing about.

[hollow topaz]

Trust me, it's good

[mellow sundial]

i hope im good enough

as like im doing fine on ciedo miedo in the first chapter, but i do know a bunch of the secrets, and so am a little overpowered guns wise

[deft ibex]

episode 1

[mellow sundial]

as, 2nd map riveter is slightly busted

[mighty rover]

e3 isn't any harder than the rest of the game really. arguably e2 is harder

[hollow topaz]

Episode 1 is good

[mellow sundial]

oh god, the wendigos

[hollow topaz]

But episode 3 is like holy shit moment after holy shit moment

[mellow sundial]

and the giant tit rocket boss

in the lab

i hated that fight so much

id got there with like 30 health

and just kept falling off the map too

[mellow sundial]

what is the mook role

[hollow topaz]

You get it from being active in the server

[mellow sundial]

swag

[hollow topaz]

Lets you send files in chat

[mellow sundial]

ah

[velvet echo]

Every episode is the best episode

[jade root]

the correct opinion

[crimson folio]

Hmm

[deft ibex]

I feel like playing dusk from the start again but I don't feel like having to sickle those first enemies again

[dull moss]

use a cheat code to spawn some guns

[crimson folio]

throw rock

deal lot of damage

heavy thing good

[deft ibex]

throwing stuff is no fun

I prefer gun

[small hound]

Get the secret pistol

[mighty rover]

hold w+a as you start the level and skip being held in place

then just hit them with a barrel as they stand there, done in 3s

[deft ibex]

thank you

[modern dune]

can the soap achievement be gotten by just using Level Select? or do i have to do it in one entire campaign?

like does touching the soap simply change a flag in that level?

and changing all the flags is what gets the chiev?

[mild ginkgo]

yes you can use level select, and you only have to touch the soap

you do not have to beat the level

[modern dune]

great! thank you

[proud whale]

Im upset that i only found the soap once

So far

[proud whale]

What is that weapon

[mellow sundial]

I still think they missed a trick in not calling that level Techno Babel instead of neo babel.

[opal plover]

hd models for the sdk I think

Not yet released

[sudden yew]

Oh...
There are gonna be a HD models?

[cold palm]

I wonder what hd crossbow looks like

[mild ginkgo]

still in draft phase

[proud whale]

HD models?

Woah

Im assuming thats the mortar

[opal plover]

Looks like the riveter

Nevermind I'm not sure actually

[deft ibex]

what level

iirc I found it easily in e1m1 and e3m9 (literally on the floor)

[proud whale]

Forgot

[lapis widget]

new blood continuing the trend of ugly hd model packs

[rancid ether]

Chad behavior

[high oar]

what have they done to my boy

[mellow sundial]

hmm.

im just thinking about the bitter coast level from one of those pre alphas

polish and proper release when

(moslty joking, but cant help thinking about hl2 lost coast)

(best part of hl2)

[quasi crown]

HD priestess hell yeah

[amber sparrow]

Riveter with graphics

[deft ibex]

shitveter

[lapis widget]

It looks more like the mortar

[crimson folio]

sdk for christmas?

[amber sparrow]

mortar has more girth and no thingy on the side

[lapis widget]

yea,the thingy was really the only thing showing that was the riveter

[waxen crag]

yoooooo hd models?

[mellow sundial]

fucking swag

but also, kinda counterintuitive

just out of curiosity, what are yere favourite levels in dusk (chapters one and 2 only, i havent beaten 3 yet.)

[amber sparrow]

e2m2

[mellow sundial]

thats the one where the wendigos are introduced right?

i nearly shat myself once, on you know the level in the dark later in the chapter with the wendigos. it was on that spiral staircase bit.

because like the music synced prefectly with the reveal of each ominous bit of writing, and the wendigos music cue was also timed great. also, (and yes i know im rambling, shut up, im making the rules here) i was playing it way latter aat night than i shouldve been

i really gotta cconvince my frineds to play this, i need to fucking discuss it with them

ive tried to, but without succes

[mild ginkgo]

its hard to convince people to play things that are ugly

[rancid ether]

thats true

[mellow sundial]

true and also, a lot of my friends are console gamers

[deft ibex]

the graphics are intentional to be old school, not everything has to look like leonardo da vinci painted it

[mellow sundial]

i know, but for some people thats a deal breaker.

[deft ibex]

they must really hate most games then cause the graphics in older games were 🤢

[mellow sundial]

well, like i said for a lot of my friends, its jsut simly not available on what they play on

[deft ibex]

a crappy laptop might just suffice

[mild ginkgo]

well they can play it on switch :)

(and ecksbawks soon enough)

[deft ibex]

what is ecksbawks

[mellow sundial]

xbox

oh cool

most of them are playstation players admitedly

[lime vale]

I just bought the boomer shooter bundle and gave the code to my friend

Wait isn’t it also coming to PlayStation?

[waxen crag]

no

i don't think so lol

[lapis widget]

Didn’t lrg leaked it?

[waxen crag]

I think that was just a mistake

[modern dune]

would anyone be down to "coach" me in DUSKWORLD?

i know the gist of it is you just want to grab overhealth and either the riveter or double-barrel ASAP but i would still like tips

the more general of advice the better, please

[naive oar]

To win the game, shoot all the enemies until they are dead.

[modern dune]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wouIh45dQ2A

[modern dune]

does anyone maybe have some actual advice?

[lapis widget]

Practice aiming,time your shots

[modern dune]

wait are the guns in DUSKWORLD not hitscan?

[lapis widget]

I don’t think so

[modern dune]

oh shit

[wise crane]

Most of the weapons are hitscan just like in the campaign

[modern dune]

thats what i figured.

i thought only the grenades, rivets, and bolts were projectile

[cold palm]

dios mio

[mighty rover]

the same advice that goes for most style shooters like this. Get your weapon binds sorted around WASD and off mousewheel / far away numbers (if you use them). Know where the spawns of health / armor / more vital weapons are each map and roughly the time of when they are ready. Have good enough movement to smoothly go between resources and while in combat. And then just grind out weapon feel / aim. Knowing when to engage or back off is good too but comes from experience, Map control is more valuable than try hard flick shot mlg aiming

[modern dune]

thank you!

[proven lichen]

some weapons are, yes

specifically the Pistols, Shotguns, SSG, Assault Rifle, and Hunting Rifle

you'll basically never need to use this pistols when you get more weapons

the AR does their job better in duskworld

in sp they're good for small enemies/finishing/saving ammo

[olive cloud]

basically this

[tardy slate]

A lot of people struggle with duskworld at first due to the fact that the hardest part begins before you even join a game - finding people to play with

Once you got that sorted out you need to follow this simple guide

1 -look around the map in warmup for pickups and how you'll move around

2 - make sure you got the feel of weapons right and they're bound to the right keys

3 - make sure you got the feel of movement by training bhops of various terrain

Practice all of the above by

1 - jumping around the map (don't worry no one will stop you)
2 - pretending to shoot at people cuz there's nobody on the server
3 - uninstalling duskworld

[modern dune]

ive played lots of times with friends ive met here, i just get wrecked. like, 3 kills max while everyone else has 15+

for the record ive beaten Jakob on DUSKMARE

but obviously he isnt a live person

[stray hedge]

Shooting with the assault rifle/crossbow really helps with aim and also prediction of enemy movement

[olive cloud]

duskworld is pick up the riveter and win

[crimson folio]

Whoever decided scarecrows should make "crow noises", thanks for giving me PTSD, there's a murder of those bastards near my home and after Duskmare everytime they make a sound I'm think I'm about to die.

[mellow sundial]

I'd forgotten the group of crows was called a murder for a sec and was very concerned.

[crimson folio]

made for a more macabre depiction of the ACTUAL PTSD this game gave me, also fuck the A.I. on the black philips using the jump platforms

[stray hedge]

^

Its kinda genius and kinda ominous

[wise crane]

God I love this

[dull moss]

O boy

[tardy slate]

Don't forget to click the X button in the top right when you get killed!

Or hit alt+f4 to get your previous loadout!

[olive cloud]

this is really poggers

[mighty rover]

I only read the stuff about the movement, but to clarify the jump buffer has no duration before it stops working when in air. Also never rivet while while your feet touch the ground, you'll go nowhere and get hurt more.

edit: also not sure about the 3s momentum air control they mention. Once you have speed you have speed for good until you stop hopping. smear your face on a rock and come to to a stop but don't stop jumping and once you move again you'll keep your "speed gain" from previously built jumps

[olive cloud]

you could also shut up and wither away as you wait for the next sdk update

[wise crane]

Coming out this year 🥲

[desert oak]

december 2021

[deft ibex]

heartbreak comeback

[steady hull]

Yeah, thats the big plight of Retro styled games

Think getting someone to play Dusk is hard tho? Try getting them to play something like Cruelty squad

[olive cloud]

he wont lol

[deft ibex]

no sm64 no sonic, no doom, no quake, no dusk, no amd evil

they are sad for dismissing these games

[steady hull]

Truly, they're ignorant kids who dont know better

[deft ibex]

what if there was a resurgence of the desire for retro games sometime in the future

[deft ibex]

maybe everyone should play games of all graphics whether old or new

[steady hull]

We're living in ir right now

[high oar]

this is the most pointless conversation i've ever seen

[steady hull]

If anything, this is the last leg of the retro looking games, it started with Shovel Knight

[deft ibex]

true lets talk about the fact that the cow girl enemy has a genitalia instead

[steady hull]

We should be getting PS2 looking games in the indie scene the next year now

[high oar]

no

[high oar]

we are so not talking about that

god fuck no

[deft ibex]

then back to this discussion

[deft ibex]

nice

what category does dusk fall into anyways

[steady hull]

I Just want more people to apreciate Dusk, one reviewer i saw described the game graphics as dirty cardboard that smells like a sewer

[deft ibex]

wait how old is shovel knight

[high oar]

8

[steady hull]

Yeah, first released 2014

[deft ibex]

damn that's 8 years ago

[lapis widget]

Never got into shovel knight,it felt too retro

[deft ibex]

you play amid evil (and possibly dusk)

[lapis widget]

Those have tons of difference than their inspirations

[high oar]

see there are 2 types of retro games, games with a retro style and gameplay inspired by those games, and games that actually try and emulate their inspirations to the t

the former is the superior kind to me because it actually tries to improve and expand upon what it's inspirations did

[mellow sundial]

good news, one of my friends is interested in playing dusk

duded pretty broke rn so waiting for a sale i guess

[indigo geyser]

I wonder if Dusk has a throwing stuff speedrun catagory

a catagory where you only kill enemies by throwing stuff at them

[lapis widget]

Probably exists. If not, be the first

[rare musk]

soap%

[sly pecan]

Skull%

[proven lichen]

low tech%

I've never really minded how games look so long as they're fun to play

[modern dune]

anyone in here ever get motion sickness from FPS games? have you overcome it? any tips?

personally i dont, the worst i get playing FPS is my eyes burn if i play too long, but my friend does really badly

i was looking for some advice to give them because i really want them to play these games

[ashen geyser]

tweak field of view, disable all camera bob and weapon bob

keep your framerate high (I heard of some people feeling sick with low framerates)

[amber sparrow]

If you have an ultrawide monitor you should turn up the FOV

[mild ginkgo]

if you have motion sickness, you probably shouldnt use an ultrawide in general however

(this is just good advice for all humans, but i cant help them all)

[tardy slate]

If you have ultrawide, you probably shouldn't*

Ultrawide is for herbivores

You cant convince me otherwise

[mild ginkgo]

im with you

[amber sparrow]

I actually have slightly lower than default fov

[stray hedge]

I need help:
Ive been trying to get the pacifist reward on brimstone ghetto, and even though I never touch enemies I cant get the reward, is there any method for that?

[opal plover]

ik it's probably because of the explosive barrels

[mild ginkgo]

yep, its the explosive barrels

you have to prevent the enemies from exploding the barrels on themselves

which is very hard

[high oar]

i think y'all just need to update how the pacifist award works so it doesn't count that

[stray hedge]

Theres a huge barrel that puts fire to everything, does that also count

[mild ginkgo]

any barrel explosion that deals damage will do it

i dont think fire does

that is by far the hardest level in the game because of the hallway with the barrels

[stray hedge]

Its my most favourite level, but it just didnt make sense

Thanks though ^^

[vernal matrix]

Can i just mention how brilliant the final 2 foghts are wirh pacifist

At first it might seem impossible to get but its impossible to not get

[hasty quarry]

finally beat Dusk on Ciero Miedo 🙂

there's this really cool game called AMID EVIL ...

[royal herald]

yo does this game have coop yet?

[cold palm]

no

you can backseat game if you're an asshole but no, no coop

[opal plaza]

yeah i know but i kinda dislike the very clean graphics and that magic is your weapon. Thats at least what i understand

You're welcome. What level are you on?

Shit, I don’t remember, but I’m past the first chapter at least

I really hope it's just HD models, because replacing the old models is a nono

[mild ginkgo]

there is nothing to fear

its not the same as ultrakill

[amber sparrow]

do welders actually have huge fire vulnerability

their bodies get gibbed by fire pretty fast

[high oar]

no, these will just be a workshop addon released by new blood themeselves

[amber sparrow]

ok yeah they burn alright

not super fast tho

fire in this game is pretty funny

spreads from enemy to enemy

seems to last forever

you could cheese a lot of bosses by just lighting them on fire and hiding

wendigos also seem to die quite quickly to fire

will the super shotgun finally get a reload animation

[tawny igloo]

(Drama show organ trill)
Will the SSG get a reload animation?
(Organ trill goes higher)
Will the cultists get higher res models too??
(Organ trill is earsplittingly loud)
Will duskdude finally have arms and hands???

[waxen crag]

these new HD models will finally make the switch version run at 30 fps

[stray hedge]

im scared

Fear beyond human nature

worse and worse

[high oar]

is this what dusk 5 is gonna look like

[earnest junco]

This will be dusk graphic in 2013

[opal plover]

They showed these off in the 3 year anniversary stream

[mild ginkgo]

For those still confused, these will not be included as a patch , or anything like that

It's "seed content" for the workshop when it becomes available

So you don't need to worry about it replacing anything about normal dusk

[crimson folio]

the sdk christmas update is real

https://tenor.com/view/why-crying-emotional-tears-sobbing-gif-17306861

[zealous spear]

tips on intoxicator?

playing on difficulty right below duskmare

[hardy helm]

Shoot until it dies

[hasty quarry]

learn to circle strafe and bhop without losing momentum

or just nuke it with the riveter

[opal plover]

Use the crouch dash to avoid the attacks

Goes for scarecrows as well

[lost zinc]

We're getting a weapon remodel update?

[opal plover]

Not just weapons

But the enemies too

[kind field]

what the hell
an update?
in my Dusk?

||it's more likely than you think||

[fading owl]

Big wendigussy

[proven sinew]

Dusk will get updates forever

[cold palm]

dios mio

[crimson folio]

you can use the sickles to hit projectiles???

[cold palm]

yes

I think it only works with mage fireballs though

[crimson folio]

no it works with bullets

[hardy helm]

I think in the graphics settings there will be a function to switch to new models

[hardy helm]

I think it's works with almost any projectile

[mellow sundial]

cant electrocute myself 0/10 game

also, id forgotten how fucking terrifying the wendigos are. like, despite being armed with dual shotguns and a riveter, i still fucking shat meself when the first one appeared

like im the most dangerous thing in the whole godforesaken state of penysylvania rn and im still quaking in my boots

[opal plover]

Yeah the horror part of dusk is what makes it stand out from other retro fps imo

More non-horror games should have horror sections or elements

[amber bluff]

god yes dusk and blood are fucking glorious, easily some of the best games i've ever played

[steady hull]

Hard agree, it's always welcome

[lime vale]

Please no

[modern dune]

can you flush enemies down the toilet? 🤔

[lapis widget]

i think so

[modern dune]

[quasi crown]

Make an entire custom level of a lab where you flush every enemy in the game down the toilet.

[modern dune]

so how does Morale exactly work? if you have even 1 Morale it still reduces damage by 50%?

[crimson folio]

yep

[rancid ether]

ye

[crimson folio]

Did you know? that when you have MORALE it cuts the amount of damage you get in half! ALSO! Rivet jumping only deals 5 DAMAGE when you have morale. So that means IF YOU PICK UP MORALE you can do RIVET JUMPS for a very low cost AND you get a lot of mobility. Think about all the place you can reach quickly if you have morale BECAUSE Rivet jumps only deal 5 damage. What im saying is that you can be SUPER MOBILE by MANAGING your morale and picking morale up constantly so that you can only get 5 damage from RIVET JUMPS which give you a big movement boost.

[lapis widget]

Only 5?

[hasty quarry]

if you aren't playing on Ciero then sure Keepo

[wide fox]

Hahahahahah

Fucking

"Morale does something"

Morale does something!!!

[modern dune]

yeah.

it does.

how about now

[cold palm]

at least one dollar

[lapis widget]

Most*

[crimson folio]

i can get from terraria to dusk
if you like terraria you'll probably like Minecraft, if you like Minecraft you'll like modded Minecraft, if you like modded Minecraft you'll probably like gmod, if you like gmod you'll like half-life 2, if you like hl2 you'll like black mesa, if you like black mesa you'll probably like the OG half life, if you like half life you'll probably like dusk

rant over

[grave saddle]

If you like Terraria, you'll probably like shooting Eldritch horrors

If you like shooting Eldritch horrors, you'll probably like Dusk.

[opal plover]

if you like Terraria, you probably like good games

if you like good games, you'll like dusk

simple as

[zealous spear]

Best advice ever. Thanks

[zealous spear]

I may sound like a moron but how do u do a crouch dash

[zealous spear]

I only have the assault rifle two shotgun two pistol and a scythe

[opal plover]

crouch while moving

It gives you a small speed boost

[modern dune]

bunny hopping > slide dashing

[opal plover]

If you're in an enclosed area like the intoxigator arena I find the more controlled slide to be more reliable

[zealous spear]

Ah so sliding?

[opal plover]

Yeah that

[zealous spear]

I managed to beat it

[opal plover]

[zealous spear]

Like i took 20 damage

[opal plover]

Nice

[zealous spear]

But the last part i got a feel and didn't take any hits

I kinda just replayed the first 2 levels 4 times to get a feel

[zealous spear]

When do u get a new weapon

After the machine gun

[opal plover]

next level has the ssg if u don't have it

[zealous spear]

I already have it

[opal plover]

Otherwise there's the rifle in the level after it

[zealous spear]

Found behind a wall in level one

[zealous spear]

I see

[opal plover]

Also nice profile pic

[zealous spear]

Thanks

Whats the game in ur pfp @opal plover

[opal plover]

Not a game, music

[zealous spear]

Ahh

[opal plover]

A track called Poseidon by buckethead

[zealous spear]

Oh

I will check it out

[opal plover]

It's really good imo

[zealous spear]

I wonder if we will get a dusk 2

[zealous spear]

I c

[zealous spear]

Dusk looks better than 99 percent of triple a ganes

Dusk is like perfect

It doesn't ask you to do a triple flip while shooting 200 bees

It only asks you to do a double flip while shooting at 150 bees

[olive cloud]

it has top notch atmosphere for sure

i wouldn't say it looks "better" because it's subjective

[lavish raptor]

You get too used to high graphics in games so i understand it

Its like being reluctant to play oblivion cause you played skyrim

[slow harness]

[amber bluff]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/974705747747278888/981755992880607232/image0.gif

[cold palm]

I put duskdude into an ai image generator and this is what came out

[rancid ether]

Yeah

That’s dusk for sure

[crimson folio]

i mean

it's dark

i can see the slightest resemblence of a status bar

theres a tree and brick walls

pretty much dusk

[rancid ether]

Yes

[modern dune]

does anyone in here know exactly WHAT causes the motion sickness from game? and is it the same thing that causes eye burning?

i dont get sick but my eyes do burn

but my friend just had to legit stop playing and change the game after 4 levels into Ep2 on stream

[mild ginkgo]

theres a lot of research on the topic, and it varies per individual, but often times it has to do with the brain not being able to compensate for the difference between the expected result, and reality in terms of motion

this is especially prevalent with visual inputs

[modern dune]

does turning Pixelation off help?

or would turning it higher help because less pixels to process?

[opal plover]

They should make a peripheral that you stab directly into your inner ear to mitigate the motion sickness

[modern dune]

my guess is turning off Pixelation would help because of my experience with VR screen door effect

[opal plover]

Now that I think about it feeling the movement while playing a game would be kind of awesome

[opal plover]

Also try disabling the camera effects and the weapon bob

I hear that causes motion sickness in a lot of people

[modern dune]

yeah they did that

but for me, when i disabled view bob in Wolf3D i got motion sick

like that was actually the only time i got sick in FPS

[opal plover]

Weird

[mild ginkgo]

i would sayy yes, diable camera motion, disable unlocked axis, play at a comfortable fov, and no pixelization

that is weird

because one of the big cures for motion sickness is having a fixed static point on the screen

it helps the brain anchor the motion

[modern dune]

it was the "static" hallways just moving past

didnt help that theyre the ugliest kind of grey and blue colors

felt dizzy as fuck

[mild ginkgo]

this is why there are actually some vr games that will render a small triangle on your inner peripheral vision to emulate your nose

[modern dune]

yeah im more researched in VR sickness than FPS sickness

[mild ginkgo]

they are caused mostly by the same things

[modern dune]

because VR actually makes me sick

like really badly

[stark hawk]

There are definitely factors that can exacerbate it. I remember that I didn't have a problem with Descent 1 and 2, but when Descent 3 came out, something about the way that game moved made me feel dizzy. Not entirely sure what it was

[high oar]

The Dim Slough

[deft ibex]

how would you kill the final boss if you went in with sickle only

[stray hedge]

its possible to with precise timing deflect shots with sickles

though Jakob bhops around and rarely gets into meelee range youd have to chase him around and dodge/reflect the bullets

So yeh gl

Its already difficult af with sword haha

And about whatever the fuck the final final boss name is

You cant meelee i think

So rip

[tardy slate]

Yes you can

[stray hedge]

Oh?

[tardy slate]

Just jump close with the sword

[stray hedge]

Huh...

Never worked when i tried

[tardy slate]

At least i think thats how it is

[stray hedge]

I did try to jump down off the platform to meelee but there was an invisible wall

[tawny igloo]

Seeing the new models makes me imagine once the SDK comes out someone is gonna make a parody "HD texture pack" for dusk

Eg this

[tardy slate]

Not what i meant

Like, use the jumppad or the force from the boss hitting the groud to fly up to him

Or rocket jump

[zealous spear]

I want there to be a new update in which we will get a morb gun that deals 10 times the riveters damage

[prisma halo]

photosourced versions of all the enemy textures would be based ngl

[tawny igloo]

Honeslty yeah

I miss the old graphical style of "textures that are actually pictures" of games

I know swat 3 had like, a tv model with textures you could clearly see were taken with the flash on

Img unrelated to that but the style of that game felt so grounded

[prisma halo]

A lot of the in-world textures in DUSK are photo-sourced

[desert oak]

a literal deer carcass

[proud whale]

[opal plover]

Wasn't the texture for the body of the many in SS2 from one of the dev's colonoscopy

[crimson folio]

how do you avoid the fucking tornado in endless mode

[jade root]

dont be cringe

[crimson folio]

just looks menacing as fuck

[crimson folio]

still have no idea whats going on

[zealous spear]

The cave level in episode one was terrifying

[zealous spear]

What recording software is this

[crimson folio]

default windows

fixed the frame rate now though

but the file is too fucking big

got past this shitty part though

[grave saddle]

Endless tornado can easily clear a wave or two for you.

I've managed to get two and a half waves done with it... Just don't touch it and you'll be fine.

[crimson folio]

i can see what you mean

got spooked by a transparent ghost png

i hate these bitches

[stray hedge]

Agreed

Still love the song though, heavy shit

I love how well dusk handles escalation. I went from nearly dying to one of those inhuman blue magic wielding things that take 3 point blank ssg shots to die to killing 6 of em while under fire from 6 cult mages

Also

How the fuck do you use the mortar

I hate my friends

it's so funny looking

[dull moss]

No?

[tardy slate]

i'll need to look around hold on

[desert oak]

[tardy slate]

[mild ginkgo]

i dont remember either

its been a while

[tardy slate]

it was like, a very obvious. shameless dusk clone

[desert oak]

yea i remember something too

[tardy slate]

it's fucking killing me man i can't find it

I FOUND IT

https://youtu.be/vwHHCtnrjy0

it looks so bad

[desert oak]

god that projectile speed

you flip the guns before the enemy died

s

but the grenade launcher looks more interesting

[lost zinc]

Oh sweatie

Wait til I show you THIS

[tardy slate]

i agree
i even made a similar grenade launcher for my dusk model replacement, but that was long before i saw this

[desert oak]

with animations?

[opal plover]

Ironically this is the kind of janky games David gets a kick out of

[tardy slate]

not yet, but it'd be easy to do

[desert oak]

prob yeah

[lost zinc]

@dull moss https://youtu.be/vwHHCtnrjy0

[tardy slate]

i just waited for the gun model update and uh

yea

[desert oak]

but its on ps4

[tardy slate]

cuz i didnt know how the anims would work for guns

[desert oak]

no one is gonna play a boomer shooter on ps

[tardy slate]

thought i'd leave it there untill it's out

[opal plover]

https://youtu.be/vwHHCtnrjy0

[tardy slate]

guys did you know

some dudes ripped off dusk

https://youtu.be/vwHHCtnrjy0

guys check this game i found i think it looks like dusk dont oyu guys think https://youtu.be/vwHHCtnrjy0

[lost zinc]

I'm going to sickle you all to death

[stark hawk]

Dusk, is good, but I've already played it through a few times. Does anyone know of any games like Dusk? And I mean exactly like Dusk

[tardy slate]

🤢

[opal plover]

Gameplay or tone wise?

[tardy slate]

hrot

[desert oak]

hrot is half life but fun

[stark hawk]

Visually. Like, the visual style being completely copied from Dusk, same weapons and everything

[tardy slate]

oh yea

i know one

https://youtu.be/vwHHCtnrjy0

Oh, perfect!

Damn, some of these games even stole their titles from the cultists' barks smh

[dull moss]

pretty sick soundtrack

hope they sold more than last of us part 2

[fading owl]

Just played Dusk again after a few months

Yeah it's pretty good 👍

[opal plover]

Agree

[crimson folio]

just played then uninstalled

because dad opened it and thought it was a virus

because of the fucking opening

so he was just suspicious and decided to get pissed off, scold me, then uninstalled it

[fading owl]

Father moment

[weary lintel]

sigma male father

[dull moss]

This is why it's called Personal Computer, not family computer.

[lapis widget]

It is a virus

[deft ibex]

I’m surprised that your dad has never seen a vintage computer before

[dull moss]

Why? It's pretty normal for that generation to have zero experience with computers

They didn't grow up with them like we did

[crimson folio]

heh

actually

[ashen geyser]

define "we"

[crimson folio]

he's from like the late 1970s, though he never was exposed to computers due to him staying in the farmlife

[dull moss]

More or less people under 40

[ashen geyser]

see that's the thing

gotta add a bottom bracket too

because the really young'unes are just as clueless

[dull moss]

obviously there are exceptions

[crimson folio]

iirc he was like never exposed to technology that isnt related to farming until 2000s

funny

[dull moss]

everyone is clueless when young

[ashen geyser]

tell your dad you're farming gold in world of warcraft

[dull moss]

about all topics

[ashen geyser]

😎

"when young"

I'm still clueless now

[lapis widget]

You just won a free car!!

[crimson folio]

hm

i mean he did play warcraft too back then

[crimson folio]

well he's not that braindead galv

he knows to just avoid those sites with the funky porn ads

[modern dune]

is the enemy name "Cowgirl" ever stated in game? or is it just like a filename kinda thing?

[steady hull]

Filename

[steady hull]

Funny thing,I remember that when i watched the Zero Puntuation episode on DUSK, Yathzee compared the game to 90's shooters, but said that instead of being good like Quake, he said that it was more in like with their more janky counterparts, and he named Chasm as an example

Knowing now how much David is a fan of Chasm, it makes so much sense to me now

[desert oak]

the only really jank thing in dusk is just hl2 styled physics

[lapis widget]

that means it works

[stark hawk]

Yahtzee didn't like Dusk, but he also said he didn't like Doom because you need to install Brutal Doom to make it fun, so maybe we just shouldn't take him seriously on the topic

[lapis widget]

isnt the entire point satire?

[stark hawk]

The presentation is comedic, but the views stated are more or less what he genuinely believes

[steady hull]

I'm not saying he's right, just saying how funny it is that he compared DUSK to an actual influence David had

[rancid ether]

lmao

[steady hull]

He actually was right in saying that DUSK nailed two central things, the Atmosphere, and the Movement

[rancid ether]

that is true

two of my favorite things about dusk

[steady hull]

For Shooters, that's basically the bread and butter, and it was so good even someone who isn't much into Retro shooters acnowledged it

[opal plover]

I don't always agree with his opinions but I can't say he doesn't give sound arguments to back them up

[steady hull]

I like Yahtzee, he's a reviewer that speaks his honest opinion and tells it straight

[stark hawk]

They might seem sound when they're presented by him with no counterpoint, but I have definitely seen people saying that some complaints by Yahtzee are from him not knowing how to play the game or not paying attention to things the game explains. I haven't played most of the games he's covered so I don't really know, but if you've ever seen any of his streams where he plays like a 90-year-old seeing a controller for the first time and struggling just to move and look around at the same time, it's easy to believe

[hollow topaz]

His DE vid is a prime example

He essentially states that he wants the devs to dumb down the game

[opal plover]

I'll take your word for it. I still think some of his views on stuff like the way narrative is presented in games is interesting. Guess what I'm trying to say that at the end of the day I'd rather listen to what he has to say even if I don't find it valuable than not listen at all

[stark hawk]

I guess I can appreciate that there's someone out there who doesn't automatically gush about every shiny product that a huge marketing campaign tells him he's supposed to like, but that doesn't mean he can't be wrong about a lot of stuff too

I kind of put Yahtzee in the same category as AVGN, in that I wouldn't be bothered about it if it weren't for the fact that there's a contingent of people out there who treat him as some unimpeachable expert when he's patently not and use his videos to develop strong opinions on games they've never played or even know much about

Yahtzee has a lot better writing than AVGN though, I'll at least give him that much credit

[mighty rover]

I always just kinda assumes he likes roasting games, and like every variety reviewer he'll probably just skim the game. So anything with mechanics deeper than a puddle is already against what he'll enjoy

honestly I almost never trust game reviewers unless its more of a blockbuster style sit back and enjoy the ride game. Most games change a lot from 1 hour to 10 hours to 100 to 1000. And by nature of their job they just can't afford to do that crunch. So they're always left with presenting a view of a game that vets will see as wrong.

[olive cloud]

tbh now that games are getting more experimental it's kinda hard to judge weather or not a reviewer just doesn't enjoy the game or if the game is actually bad when it comes to design choices

[hollow topaz]

Yeah, that's why I usually don't go by reviewers unless their opinions really align with my own

[lavish raptor]

There is a few channels that genuinely review games and invest time into them but like the only one i know doesn't upload often so it might take a while to properly review games

[stark hawk]

Who needs reviews of modern games when you can just thumb through issues of '90s gaming mags to look for retro games to play?

[slow harness]

was this text added in an update? i don't remember this in game nor script

[slow harness]

this indeed wasn't in the script that i had 3 years ago

and since it's new it wasn't translated

[prisma halo]

I'm pretty sure that's always been there

It might have been skimmed over when we moved text to the language file

[mild ginkgo]

good to know lol

[prisma halo]

I'll have to do a pass on all the maps later, I can write something to check if any strings aren't localized

[tawny igloo]

Last I remember it's a refrence to a skit video

David mentioned about it in the anniversary stream

[noble patio]

HI DUSKDEV I WOUDLNT MIND DUSK 2

but iron lung is cool af

[zealous spear]

Is it normal that you lose all your weapons at the start of episode 2

[zealous spear]

A dusk like shooter set in the world of iron lung would be cooler

[storm sentinel]

that'd be interesting

[sudden yew]

Ofc, thats how boomer shooters work
When you start new episode you only have pistols

[high oar]

*sickles

[lost zinc]

Yes

[zealous spear]

I see

I want dusk. But you are morbius. It will become the best piece of fiction easily

[indigo geyser]

i accidently telefragged the guardian on e2m10 and didnt have to fight him

[high oar]

first time?

[zealous spear]

Old school games moment

[velvet echo]

there are no accidents

[slow harness]

Any way I can downgrade dusk to check whether it was in the earlier versions?

[prisma halo]

You can download older versions via Steam's dev console

but I can guarantee it's always been there

[proud whale]

Hell yeah

[lapis widget]

I knew you’d come

[slow harness]

i guess i just never interacted with the tractor

i assume you aren't doing those multiplayer gamemodes mentioned in the script?

Iirc, no longer possible
However, there is "Depot Downloader" which works on the same principle and i had downloaded some old Wreckfest versions earlier this year with it without any problems

[brisk venture]

did i do it rght in the lfg group

[mellow sundial]

god id forgotten how much i fucking hate e2m3

you just pop up, and are shot at from 97 billion fucking directions at once.

and either try cheese some from bellow to make it easier or just die

and one hit from the basic bitch mage deals 40 fucking damage

ive only got 70 health.

one fuck up allowed

against 69 feckers

[brisk venture]

time to get good

[mellow sundial]

shut up

two fuck ups and im dead

bulshit

i could get through, but id have to play like a little bitch, abusing cover, and slowly picking enemies off from a distance. just isnt right

god, i hate htis bloody level

[brisk venture]

shoulda got to that lvl with more hp

imo

this is also from the guy who will only play on ciero and it took me 3 hours to get to e1m7

[kindred crater]

ok so i opened dusk today and its all in Chinese, and I did not, EVER, mess with the language settings. is this the game messing with me? I restarted steam and it is still in chinese. Ping me if you have any ideas or can translate it for me. This is one of the weirdest gaming experiences ive ever had

[lapis widget]

^ try this?

[mellow sundial]

aight im done being melodramatic

i had to play a bit more resevedly (ie dont jsut go into everything shotguns blazinga dn take advantage of the fact you can shoot at a distanc ebut its not the end of the world.)

although, fuck whoever put those final 3 rats in

actually, fuck whoever made rats, they are horrible and i hate them

i mean, 10 dmage from a rat'

bullshit

and yes, everything i dont lie is bullshit,, no i will not acccept criticism

[prisma halo]

It's possible

There was a rumour a while back that Valve was removing it, but that's just because people don't read

[modern dune]

anyone think theyre good enough at DUSKMARE to do a hitless run of the whole game?

as in start to finish

not challenging you guys, simply just curious

[stray hedge]

All I can pull off right now is the entire game, deathless, Ciero miedo

Hitless? Some levels

Its not too difficult to memorise entire levels once you play them over and over

so its more about memory than skill

[modern dune]

i dont plan on taking it on, but what would you suggest for such a thing?

im thinking finding the Riveter ASAP and using it to take out all the enemies that lock you into an ambush

also, would it still be an impressive task to you guys if someone beat the game hitless, but on Accessible or Take It Easy? i would still be impressed

[slow harness]

Hitless run implies just playing duskmare

[modern dune]

i mean, no

a hitless run implies if you die you start the entire game over

www.teamhitless.com

in DUSKMARE even if you omit quicksaves you still start back at the beginning of each level

that isnt a hitless run.

[slow harness]

k

[crimson folio]

yeah but duskmare would be far more impressive

[indigo geyser]

i cant figure out how to damage the final boss

[ashen geyser]

something odd...

draws the eye to it....

have you noticed anything like that?

see if retrying it with this mindset helps 😉

[indigo geyser]

ive been trying for hours

[ashen geyser]

if not : ||look towards the roof. You can damage those cracks. This will weaken Nyarlathotep enough for direct damage to be viable||

you mean fast boy or boy right after?

spoiler is about boy#2

[indigo geyser]

yeah

2nd final boss

[ashen geyser]

then yep

[indigo geyser]

oh the crack on the roof, my friend was saying the crack on his body

thats why nothing has been happening

i thought i bugged him somehow

but i was just getting misinfo

[opal plover]

The user has been fed misinformation

[indigo geyser]

thanks guys

[stray hedge]

Initiate an accelerated backhop boost with the riveter then crossbow jump to strafe jump across the arena and then

[mighty rover]

what

[crimson folio]

I have been jumpscared 3 consecutive times by the rats in dusk.

[merry gate]

Oh boy, here I go again with my infrequent Dusk LRG update question!

the site still hasn't updated from estimated Q1 2022 shipping date as of my last check yesterday

[mild ginkgo]

as per usual, all we really know is that theyre in production

if we had more info than that, we would gladly share it

[merry gate]

[stray hedge]

I just wanna say I love your banner

[merry gate]

Axolotl gif is adorable yes

[crimson folio]

[torpid karma]

What if Big John did the stanky leg?

[crimson folio]

[pulsar flume]

the climbing thing isnt working for me

[mild ginkgo]

press shift

and walk into the wall

@pulsar flume

[pulsar flume]

i may be stupid

thank you

[dull moss]

Nah, you aren't

How are you supposed to know running into a wall makes you climb?

No other game does it this way

[mild ginkgo]

because it says it right on the screen

in bold red text

[dull moss]

Ok, you are stupid

[mild ginkgo]

the actual disconnect is that it says "walk"

which is never tutorialized in the entire game

which is bad on our part

players are never told there is a difference between running and walking

we did add autoclimbing in the settings eventually

[dull moss]

you mean running and sprinting?

[mild ginkgo]

to make some concession for this

nah running is the default, holding shift makes you walk

[dull moss]

oh

Im used to games where holding shift makes you go faster

[mild ginkgo]

its very unintuitive

it never really got to a place where we were 100% happy with it

[dull moss]

Oh now I remember, I unbound shift when I played Dusk to stop myself from slowing down unintentionally

[mild ginkgo]

we removed all required climbing from the main progression in the switch port because of this

[dull moss]

And that's why I struggled with climbing

[lapis widget]

What does this change look like

[mild ginkgo]

jumppads basically

slightly altered geometry

we tried to be as minimally invasive to the original game as possible

[lost zinc]

FUCK THE RATS

Can't count on my fingers the times I've been spooked or had to yell

Think I alt f4d like 4 times total

[opal plover]

do not fuck the rats

[lost zinc]

[merry gate]

Do not fuck the rats
it's only hip to FUCK BEES

[patent spruce]

how do i find duskworld servers ?

[patent spruce]

thanks

[wide fox]

Actually, people will know the difference quite easily. If they walk, they're psychotic. If they run, they're kinda fine.

[primal moss]

Of there was a dlc that added another episode

Sort of like the ancient gods

I’d buy it

Just saying

[high oar]

maybe you should have made it crouch instead of walk

[wise breach]

hoping we see this new hd content stuff at not e3

[modern dune]

would you guys say a CRT monitor would make motion sickness worse? or possibly help?

my guess is it would make it worse because of the physical flickering the electron gun causes

but a part of me thinks that would actually help if you arent epileptic?

[crimson folio]

i

I'd say go for it although I dont think it would

[modern dune]

i dont get motion sick, im just asking for my friends that do

[wise breach]

i cant really think of why that would help or worsen motion sickness
