Something bad definitely happened that put him on his path. I am not sure if it’s out of dusk or into dusk though.

sick pecan
#

David is Jakob so he’d know

opal plover
#

Homecoming is legit one of my favorite "emotional" video game moments

#

It's very subtle and doesn't interrupt the gameplay but a lot is implied

sick pecan
#

I can never fully enjoy it cause it gives me a headache

#

The next level tho (I can’t remember the name) is a master class in level design

craggy oyster
sweet flower
#

I don’t get the timeline of how the creatures were created. Some seem like spirits or residents of the nameless city in the mythos but they are also implied to have been created by the military?

lapis widget
#

Brimstone or dwellers in the dark?

opal plover
#

As above so below

rancid ether
#

ah that one

#

also quick question, is the dusk graphic novel out?

opal plover
#

It is

#

At least the first part

sick pecan
#

Just a short comic

#

Not a full novel

rancid ether
#

aight thats what i thought

sick pecan
#

It’s cool tho

rancid ether
#

isnt there gonna be a full version with the sdk

lapis widget
sick pecan
sweet flower
#

It’s 24 pages and it only covers the first two episodes

#

In addition, Jakob foreshadows a lot more

sick pecan
#

There’s a dubbed version of it on YouTube

sweet flower
#

My only real gripe is that in some scenes the art style makes it hard to understand what’s happening

#

Because of the monochrome

sick pecan
#

Yeah sometimes I really had to squint to see

opal plover
#

Yeah I agree it's kind of painful to look at sometimes, but it is an enjoyable pain

mild ginkgo
#

there will be a full version yes

sick pecan
#

W’S BOYS

mild ginkgo
#

its been in progress a long time

rancid ether
#

good to know

#

any plans for a physical release at this moment?

sick pecan
#

Id pick up a physical copy in a heartbeat

rancid ether
#

same

sweet flower
#

Same

mild ginkgo
#

we'll see, for now we just want to complete it

lapis widget
rancid ether
#

yeah understandable

sick pecan
sweet flower
#

It’s coming out soon trademark (am I doing this right)

rancid ether
#

you guys have been doing things for dusk for like 5 years at this point lmao

#

and theres still a lot coming

sweet flower
#

Nyarlathotep saying the “other forms” line is ironic considering that the photophobic form is the only combat oriented one in the mythos.
“Watch our player, next time you’re gonna see me I’ll be a cyberpunk scarecrow pharaoh!”

sick pecan
rancid ether
#

yeah dusk nearly singlehandedly revived the genre

opal plover
#

afaik they're also working on ng+ with nargle powers

rancid ether
#

lmao

opal plover
#

And the dark claw weapon from the alpha version

sick pecan
rancid ether
#

sdk, possible updates to console ports, revamped duskworld, the comic

#

theres a lot coming

sweet flower

#

duskworld updates
dying

rancid ether
#

lets hope

sweet flower
rancid ether
#

its probably low on their priorities

#

but its possible

#

i just want duskworld on switch goldensmile

rancid ether
#

which is even lower on the priorities i assume

opal plover
sick pecan

rancid ether
#

but they have to do my idea of a real time strategy game where you play as nyarthalotep commanding the cultists smh

#

trillion dollar idea

sick pecan
rancid ether
#

yeahhhhh

#

thats why i assume its not on their priorites

sweet flower
#

My idea would be something along the lines of Nyarlathotep just deciding the trick got old. The first time he is introduced in the mythos, he wants to modernize the world. And the rednecks of Dusk, Pennsylvania are pretty much the opposite of that. Out with the old!

sick pecan
opal plover
#

Like Cormac Mccarthy said

#

Books are made of books

#

Except it's vidya in this case

rancid ether
#

nyarlathotep but sims city

because reminder, Dusk Dude blew up the first one right before he got hooked

sick pecan

#

I wonder if there's multiple Big John or they just resurrected him

sweet flower
#

I don’t really see how they could resurrect an unwilling someone.

#

If they can even resurrect a willing one

big john is cursed with immortality

Big John is an avatar of Nodens

so if david is jakob... and dave is big john... then whose the littleneck?!?!?!!??!

The first big John can only be killed by the shotgun, the crossbow and the riveter in that order. If only he wasn’t color coded, he would be impossible to slay.

you have a point

#

I just realized I don’t have a sense for Dusk Dude’s moral compass because literally everything in the game attempts to murder you and is axe crazy

#

you know

#

like redneck america

sick pecan
#

I live in the south and can confirm it is like that

opal plover
#

Not even the south actually

#

Pennsylvania

#

Now that I think about it

crimson folio
#

no wonder they so mad... they in penisvaliyna 🤣

rancid ether
#

yeahs

opal plover
#

Imagine how much worse Dusk would be if it was set in like Alabama or Texas

crimson folio
#

DUSK would be so different if it was in canada

rancid ether
#

white hell

#

but thats norway i think so eh

#

close

sick pecan
#

I love Dusk I wish Pennsylvania was real.

rancid ether
#

i dont wish it was real

opal plover
#

We willed Pennsylvania into existence through our collective unconscious

sick pecan
#

Don’t mess with us Dusk fans. We created a state

Dusk would be infinitely more scary if it took place in new mexico

episode 3 goes hard

stray hedge
#

Its useful for the erebus reactor mainly if you want the untouchable award

#

Mostly against tier 1 enemies

pseudo copper
#

Dusk sequel should be called dawn let Sam Raimi direct it and Jared Leto star as the game protagonist watch the steam sales explode

#

I just beat Dusk for the first time about an hour ago

#

#

The sequel should be called “Dusktil Dawn”

Dusk Section 2: big john

#

I've been playing too much ultrakill

#

in ultrakill it's called acts

#

I apologize for my insolence

grizzled nimbus
#

I finished it and really liked it, but there are still some bugs here and there, is there an email or something to report them?

mild ginkgo
#

you can report them in the forum, or here

#

happy to field your reports personally @grizzled nimbus

grizzled nimbus
#

Thanks, I start with the strangest thing, I might be wrong, but I noticed that some times it seems that the "gravity" increases, in the sense that the character doesn't jump as high as before and also the jump platforms don't allow high jumps anymore. I noticed this because in one level I could no longer move forward, then I restarted the game and the problem was gone. Maybe it occurs when you load a save many times.

grizzled nimbus
#

Then there is a level where every time I load a save, I start from crouching, tonight I check the number.
The saves in E3M7 are broken from the moment you change the axes of the world, loading the save puts you in a totally different place.
Then there are some Italian translation errors or oversights, but I can take screenshots later to be more specific.

#

I think the game font is without the accented letters, so in some places they have been replaced with another font, but in at least one case they are missing completely.

#

Lastly, the GOG version is missing an achievement, "Frag your Friends - Open Duskworld," but I don't understand why, because in theory there is Duskworld on GOG as well. Would it be possible to add it?

mild ginkgo
#

the e3m7 save is intentional, the crouching level is e3m1, and the gravity bug is extremely rare to happen

#

its a result of an error with floating point precision

#

these things have all been fixed on the switch version lol

river glade
#

Ok, recently bought dusk after playing the shit out of ultrakill, why is every game new blood has just so fucking good, haven't beaten it yet tho, i'm in...neobabel? i believe, people tell me chapter 3 is the best tho

mild ginkgo
#

thanks for the vote of confidence!

#

we appreciate it 🙏

grizzled nimbus
mild ginkgo
#

the lack of achievement was just a choice we made so that players would not have to use duskworld if they didnt want to

#

they will probably be fixed on pc yes

grizzled nimbus

The most annoying imo is if a map uses changing music it'll just reset to the first track that was playing

And keep that on

genuinely cant believe how good the game is tho lmao. i'd been looking at it for a long time and constantly hearing great things but i kinda fell off shooters for a while and ultrakill refreshed me so i picked up dusk on sale and holy shit

anyone know why I could be having this error?

am playing on an old 3rd gen XPS gaming laptop (M1710) for benchmark purposes, and it just won't launch on it's 1900x1200 screen

#

i will add it is only dx9 capable

#

do not know if this game needs dx11 or not

#

i actually atm will try forcing dx9, but if that does not work then any help is appreciated. gog version btw

#

yeah no forcing dx9 did not help. further assistance appreciated.

sharp gulch
#

yeah it says on the steam page that dx9 is ok...ima see what resolutions dx9 supports one sec

uncut dock
#

i know dx9 supports 1920x1200

sharp gulch
#

Yeah what i would do, and from what im reading, either update your graphics cards drivers, or uninstall and reinstall them.

#

And once you reinstall obvi update and all that shit

uncut dock
#

did that ^

sharp gulch
#

hmmm

uncut dock
#

also updated the resolution in the config

#

no luck

sharp gulch
#

hmmm hmmmmm

#

have you tried playing the game on the rolled back drivers?

#

Kinda a shot in the dark

#

not an optimal one either

#

maybe one of the devs will know what file to modify, im sure there is some config file you could manually set the default resolution

uncut dock
#

haha it's a geforce go 7900gs, was high end in 2006 but the last driver released before dusk even released so i wouldn't see rolling back doing anything

sharp gulch
#

lol yeah true true. might be time for an upgrade

So how is Dusk world's server hosting set up? You don't have to port forward your router to start a match, so is it just renting out space on NB servers?

it uses valve's servers

Huh

Is that free, or do you have to pay rent?

And i know after a bit the game gets cool and fast paced and stuff but the intro kinda bored me to death

I'll still play it eventually but currently the game shouldnt throw 15 enemies at me if it takes around 1 or more minutes to kill a single one

Thats just my opinion tho

Whay would you guys say its The stand out weapon of Dusk?

Id say its the crossbow

me neither but i know more about it than i really should

I think many weapons in Dusk in general stand out, but im trying to think of which one is the best of them all

cold palm

#

imo

high oar
#

you ever notice how nobody's favorite is the mortar

#

why is that

steady hull
#

Thats the real question

#

I apreciate it a bit, but i think its The one that shoots projectiles the slowest of them all

#

And since this game doesnt have Hitscanners like Blood or Duke Nukem 3D, you dont have to shoot bombs around covers to explode camping enemies

high oar
#

eeeehhhh

steady hull
#

And i also see it as a Plan B after the Riveter runs out

generic shotgun, generic rifle, generic rocket launcher, sorry, how are they supposed to stand out again?

Squirrel stapler is actually the story of Dusk Dude’s family

No that is an actual question- like, I get the point of the game is building up to god with eerie stuff but it makes a lot of sense now that I think about it

He is

But he is also “the blind idiot god”

Also, Azathoth’s presence is heralded by ominous chanting, a sound of drums and flutes

Mythos stuff is all intentionally unclear and canon is pretty loose so I'm not completely sure

sweet flower
#

60% of his appearances are his son Nyarlathotep trying to trick a mortal into getting too close to the mousetrap so he can have a laugh when their neck snaps

#

The only thing warding them being, of course, the ominous chanting that says that he is here and they should be taking their leave right that moment

opal plover
#

Yeah I like that theory

sweet flower
#

The last major reference in Lovecraft's fiction to Azathoth was in 1935's "The Haunter of the Dark", which tells of "the ancient legends of Ultimate Chaos, at whose center sprawls the blind idiot god Azathoth, Lord of All Things, encircled by his flopping horde of mindless and amorphous dancers, and lulled by the thin monotonous piping of a demonic flute held in nameless paws"
-Wikipedia

opal plover
#

Yeah sorry I think I got that from some weird conflicting info

#

There's some stuff about the mythos that imply that all of the dimensions are different manifestations of Yog Sothoth and that he is reality itself

#

But Lovecraft also said that Yog Sothoth is born the nameless mist which was born of Azathoth

sweet flower

We’re not taking at face value everything love craft says

i have heard from people Dusk is the best FPS on the Switch right now with surprisingly capable controls

especially for such a fast paced FPS

i mean if its one of the 3 games that run at 60 fps its top 3 objectively

i think its the best of those 3 so yeah

To be fair, I think quake is on the switch

So that's probably pretty great too

#

I'm sure it runs at 60 too

#

I'm not well versed in the switch fps library

#

I bet boomerang X runs decently, doom is a solid enough port

desert oak
#

yeah i mean quake is good but dusk is a little better

#

can you play custom maps

#

I tried immortal redneck on switch....

desert oak

or at least get addons?

mild ginkgo

It wasn't a good experience

desert oak

for quake on switch

mild ginkgo
#

Low frame rate, low resolution, low everything

#

Not sure tbh

#

Maybe I'll buy the port to check it out

#

But yeah, I think your choices of 60fps shooters on switch is small

#

So if that's your thing, dusk probably isn't a bad choice

deft ibex
#

how optimized is dusk

mild ginkgo
#

On switch, pretty great

#

On PC, it needs a little work 😅

desert oak
#

is ultrakill better opt than dusk for pc?

#

with all that room loading

mild ginkgo
#

Ehhhh they're both imperfect for sure

#

We were quite exhaustive with performance to hit 60fps on switch with dusk

It pays off though, because now the Xbox port runs at 400+fps at 4k lol

This is one of my favorite areas in the game. After the biggest arena fight in the entire game you get ready to face Jakob. You enter not into his arena, but rather an open area surrounded by trees. I wonder what this place is, maybe it was once important to Jakob before he became whatever he is now. The music is perfect for the atmosphere, and I’ve heard that it was actually composed by David instead of Hulshult. It’s a very brief moment but one I always appreciate.

mild ginkgo
#

Yep that's right, that's a David composition

sick pecan

At some point he stopped tolerating it’s existence and started fearing it. After that, he embraced it.

i’ve stayed away from the public perception a lot as to keep my opinions of the game my own, but what’s the general consensus on the latter parts of the game? i was absolutely mesmerized by neobabel and the infernal machine and most of episode 2. the atmosphere on those particular levels are genuinely so inspiring. everything up to blasphemy was amazing. but once the game starts to reach it’s ending segments, it became super disappointing to me considering how spectacular the middle parts of the game were. i’m simply curious what others peoples opinions on this is. i’m sure it’ll grow on me anyways

lapis widget
#

What didn’t you like about the last part?

mild ginkgo
#

I think there's a lot of divisive parts in the end of the game, as we experimented with a lot of stuff

#

Homecoming is whacky

#

Dweller in darkness is a combat trial

#

Then ofc E3m8 is a bunch of repeated segments mashed together

#

And then the last level is just a boss fight

#

So I can see that not being to everyone's taste

steady hull
velvet echo
#

it’s your opinion

lapis widget
#

Those levels are quite different compared to the rest of the game

red hazel
#

i think i was expecting more that was different, but it is fair that the last few levels are throwing everything from the earlier parts of the game at you so you can use all of the things you’ve learned in one place. i think my biggest grudge was the all the reused level stuff, i was not a big fan of that. but i found the homecoming gravity thing weird and interesting. i definitely agree with toby in saying that some of them do stand out a lot, but i was expecting those grand setpieces for the ending parts. i didn’t think it was bad at all i should clarify!!! i am thankful for the dusk experience

red hazel

#

I think one of the things with the whole reusing set pieces is it plays with that mind-boggling aspect

ebon radish

but once the game starts to reach it’s ending segments, it became super disappointing to me considering how spectacular the middle parts of the game were
lemme introduce you to xen

steady hull
#

Nah, Xen is a massive change in gameplay and setting to the rest of the game, it deserves the criticism

#

The second half of Episode 3 is less being super creative and more about bringing back things you saw before, nailing the point that you're reaching the end. It's more about pacing

#

Which is why Homecoming and As Above So Below are composed of assets and areas you saw before, but remixed in a way that they're different

#

The Dweller in Darkness is also pretty bare, but it's supposed to be a massive arena where you kill hundreds of enemies, so it fits

high oar
# red hazel i think i was expecting more that was *different*, but it is fair that the last ...

that's kind of the point though
the ending was effectively trying to do exactly what jakob said at the homecoming; "look at all we've done together". it's a reflection of the entire journey that led up to this point, the big set pieces came when they needed to happen, if the entire last half of the episode was just big set piece after big set piece it would have gotten stale, and honestly, wouldn't have the type of game that dusk is.
and like others have pointed out, having the set pieces come prior to that point hammers in the idea that those last few levels were hammering in.
plus, not doing what's expected of it is kinda dusk's whole thing, it doesn't always conform to what people think it's gonna be.
i can understand your point, but ultimately it's for the better that the game ended the way it did.

red hazel
#

this is really fair yeah, i do love this game in that it does things so differently. and i do agree if the game DID follow what i initially expected from it, it would not follow the type of game that dusk is. so i guess i am rather thankful the ending section is like this, even if i don’t like it that much. i’m sure it will grow on me with consecutive playthroughs, but it was cool hearing everyone else’s thoughts

mild ginkgo
#

it was pretty important for us to represent a lot of different aspects about what makes retrofps great in the game, and some of the decision making in the levels was informed by that want

#

so, naturally, not all of them will land with everyone

#

like dweller was actually originally called "things get serious" as an homage to serious sam

#

not everyone likes a serious sam style combat arena, but its something it was important for david to try making, i think

playing it now, despite being on a handheld its actually amazing how well it controls and plays, especially with gyro aim, sure i aint got a keyboard and mouse for the true boomer shooter experience but even in this form its absolutely fantastic

#

man im glad i picked it up

#

im not using gyro aim in docked mode but in handheld it feels so good to use gyro

#

think its a case of how in handheld the gyro can be done relative to the position of the Switch and its screen making it much more intuitive meanwhile docked you can exactly move a monitor or TV with a control for a 1:1 movement with gyro

However, I re-did the last level as well, and I think I can confirm that there is a pretty big translation error right at the end at the crucial moment: in the original I think Nyarla says that I am worthy of his power, but in the Italian translation he says exactly the opposite.

you are not worthy as an italian
