Indeed

#

I forgor I stopped playing yesterday at the final level of the game lolz

mental nimbus
#

ep7 is too chaotic for me, it gets kinda tiring at e7m3 because ||of the twin terrors||

#

I just don't really like the episode gameplay wise

#

but I do like how it looks

mental nimbus
#

yeah it's aeternum

#

I barely used it on my first playthrough 💀

unique wren
#

Imagine not killing the twin terrors with your fists lol lmao

#

also while making screenshots for a wiki template i discovered something truly evil

mental nimbus
#

what is this supposed to be

hot crane
mental nimbus
#

probably a visual bug I guess

#

are they always like that

hot crane
#

yes.

civic ocean
#

COOKED

RAW

hot crane
#

you know, maybe i should make a list of bugs in this game for devs to check out

willow garnet
#

🤭

mental nimbus
#

do they even update amid evil to fix bugs

#

never seen it update before

#

and it's been out since like 2019

hot crane
mental nimbus
hot crane
#

after that were SteamDeck news, VR news and BL news

mental nimbus
#

this patch update released alongside the steam deck announcement

#

do you think they'll release another patch when releasing the black labyrinth ?

#

if so, I hope they patch some things like adding level screenshots for sacred path because it still uses astral equinox's level pics for some reason

unique wren
#

Leon is a quirked up catgirl goated with the sauce

hot crane
mental nimbus
#

speaking of codex, do the bosses have their own stuff on the codex ? because I can't read some stuff that is cut (probably the resolution or something)

#

I also can't read the story properly

quaint ivy
#

Amid catgirl

mental nimbus
#

yeah I definitely can't scroll down to read the rest

quaint ivy
hot crane
hot crane
mental nimbus

but I guess that would spoil the player

#

so

hot crane
#

not much lore info though, but i aim to add some soon.

#

I guess this issue was already shown here multiple times before

livid aspen
#

how do I stop amid evil from cooking my toes when I play

hot crane
willow garnet
hot crane
solemn hollow
#

It's been a while since i played the game

hot crane

#

My pc is on my desk, I'm getting burnt, my toes are getting cooked

solemn hollow
hot crane
#

reminder, the black labyrinth will release in less than 16 days

solemn hollow
#

Gonna play it with rtx on

#

It's what Leon would've wanted

quaint ivy
#

gonna play rtx amid evil on my PC that cannot play Amid Evil with 50 percent downscaling and everything on low

mental nimbus
#

if you don't have an rtx, amid evil rtx won't even open at all, right ?

quaint ivy
#

Yeah I think you're right

#

kinda just said it as a joke

civic ocean
quaint ivy
#

and anyways, I could probably try to play the game at all high settings and my pc would explode

mental nimbus
#

same, my pc is kinda mediocre

#

I can't play with a downscaling higher than 60

#

I feel blind when I'm playing because I can't see anything from afar

quaint ivy
#

Same

#

but I manage

#

Honestly not bad

hot crane
#

i wont lie its kinda better with chunky pixels

quaint ivy
#

Expected much worse from my PC with Amid Evil but nah

#

runs good

#

Also if you smooth it out with low resolution scaling it can help it look a tiny bit better

hot crane
#

im glad my pc can run shadows on medium level fine because oh man you dont want to play Ep6 on low shadow

quaint ivy
#

Isnt EP 6 the forges

#

or is it the arcane expanse

#

I forgor

willow garnet
#

Expanse

quaint ivy
#

alr

#

I didn't find Arcane Expanse that bad with low shadow honestly

#

what made it so bad for you Clim?

mental nimbus
#

I like ep5 (the forges) with high shadow quality

#

it looks stunning sometimes

quaint ivy
#

Even on low settings its still by far my favorite ep in temr sof atmosphere

mental nimbus
#

well, it looks worse with low shadow quality but the atmosphere is still there

#

I still need to play all the levels with a higher shadow quality

#

tho my fps can get significantly lower

quaint ivy
#

Gonna go beat the final boss brb lolz

#

Did the funny

hot crane
#

so i launched the game quickly and made a comparison between low and medium shadow resolution

copper fable
hot crane
#

here's a room in Arcland Verge with medium shadow res

#

i want to marry UNNAMED_ENTITY.54

hot crane
#

and here's the same room with low shadow res

quaint ivy
#

#

Didn’t know it was that big of a difference

hot crane
#

IT BECOME BRIGHT AF

quaint ivy
#

GAH DAHM

hot crane
#

BRIGHTER THAN THE FOURTH EPISODE

#

and here's the same room, with low shadow res and 50% scaling

#

DO YOU LIKE BEING BLINDED??

quaint ivy
#

You know what the lighting quality on Oculus Quest 2 is? That’s probably where I’m gonna do a replay of AE

quaint ivy
#

Damn

hot crane
#

here are some more comparisons

#

medium VS low

#

medium VS low 2

hot crane
#

and medium VS low 3

quaint ivy
#

I actually like Low in the 3rd one

hot crane
#

so yeah, if you wanna play Amid Evil on the lowest resolution - go for it, the game is still beautiful even without effects and anti-aliasis, BUT leave shadow resolution AT LEAST on medium.

quaint ivy
#

I’ll try it rn

#

See how it performs on my dog ass PC

so by this logic, you can actually save Earth from becoming swallowed by Solar Chad

What are your theories on the role of The Watcher from the dlc?
I'm conflicted whether he'll be the final boss, deciding to give us one final challenge, or just someone who comments on our success.
Also, did anyone understand what was the thing at the end of his trailer?

#

Kinda looks like some draconic creature

rustic barn
#

he fucks women

hot crane
# meager vector What are your theories on the role of The Watcher from the dlc? I'm conflicted ...

so, my speculation here, he's probably the watcher of the Black Labyrinth. he observes anyone who dares to enter it and defines whether or not the challenger is worthy of its price - the Axe.
another theory of mine is that he's one of the Old Gods who forged the Axe and is watching over it so nobody steals it.
nothing much is known about him really except that his aesthetic gives me heavy The Void vibes. if devs told me he's one of the Evil's goons i would believe them.

#

and about the dragon

meager vector
# hot crane and about the dragon

Bro, the Thunder Spirit?
Makes sense, in latest trailer his arena was shown covered with lightning strikes.
Perhaps it's one of his attacks.
What if he is a mid boss?
After all, Leon said the dlc is gonna be the journey to the labyrinth and labyrinth itself.
Maybe Thunder Spirit guards the gate to the labyrinth or one of the gates at least.
What if there are multiple gates each guarded by a boss?

Rudi, otherwise known as r.u.d.i. (Actual Discord name) seems determined to perform acts of intense love in tandem with Leon Zawada and Simon Rance, developers of the hit shooter game Amid Evil , released in 2018. Said game has reached levels of critical acclaim and is a relatively big reason for the success of the company New Blood, founded and owned by Dave Oshry.

The company explained above and recognized as New Blood also helps fund and develop other hit video games such as Dusk, developed by David Szymanski, Faith, developed by Mason Smith, Ultrakill, developed by Arsi “Hakita” Patala, and many more such as Fallen Aces, Unfortunate Spacemen, and Gloomwood (also developed in part by David Szymanski).

one thing i appreciate is that key hunting doesnt suck ass. i fucking hate key hunting but this game does a good job at subtly guiding me to where i need to go, then giving me a path to loop back around to where i need to use the key

yep

slow tartan
#

its honestly impressive

#

and oh my god this game with rtx is GORGEOUS

#

another thing i like about this game is that every weapon is useful. i find myself mostly using the water rod for flying enemies, ice mace for general shenanigans, celestial claw for beefier enemies, the sword for.. when i dont have the ice mace. and the axe for.. well i dont really like using the axe but i know others like it

#

the sword is good for groups, but i mostly like using the ice mace and celestial claw

#

but claw ammo is very precious to me

#

i didnt know the level order so i got a few done out of intended order

#

this game is amazing

#

after i beat this game in rtx imma boot up my vr and play through AEVR

#

not gonna lie, solar solstice might be my favorite episode so far. its super pretty

#

that first level in solar solstice was GORGEOUS

#

hitting that button and seeing the window open and the light shine through

hot crane
slow tartan
#

im so sad it took me THIS long to play through it

#

and the weapons feel SO GOOD to play around with

#

the ice mace is my favorite cause its oh so satisfying sticking enemies to walls

#

also civvie was right, finishing off a big fight really does make me feel like ash williams

granite idol
#

Amid Evil definitely has the best visual candy out of any new blood game imo

#

the environments are so damn good, and the fact you can see from which area you've left and which you'll enter and all that

#

it's so good

#

Personally half the hype for the BL is just to see all the environments

hot crane
#

whoever made the trailers for BL must get a free copy of BL, they did an awesome job making me hyped for the game.
just rewatching the og reveal trailer makes me shiver from how cool this is.

granite idol
#

It definitely looks like the culmination of everything the amid evil dev team has learnt

#

hyped to see what the black labyrinth itself has in store for us

#

Actually, that is something I wonder, is this DLC created with the intent to be harder or about the same as the base game

hot crane
granite idol
#

Does that mean that lore wise, the champion literally did the hardest bit first, leaving the actual problem he was hired for a cakewalk?

#

"Bro I had a harder time walking through a maze than I did with anything you did, evil man."

slow tartan
#

the water looks so good

#

like im a sucker for good looking water in video games

#

The Arcane Expanse is, to this day, the most beautiful FPS area I ever saw.

#

coupled with the music, it's so beautiful I'd genuinely wanna live there

The only reason the Solar Solstice isn't an area I'd like to be in is because I personally never liked the sun that much lmao

im not looking forward to fighting the funny sun man

#

he looks very difficult

#

the bosses in the base game have never struck me as particularly hard

#

Evil difficulty is a different topic, but otherwise

slow tartan
#

i was watching civvie's video on the game and he said the solar solstice boss is really annoying due to that jump attack thats hard to dodge

hot crane
slow tartan
#

but he played on Evil

granite idol
#

evil difficulty does make the bosses actually hard, which I appreciate

Also, gotta be honest, we don't give the Void enough praise. I think that area is also very pretty

oh shit it did, didnt it? i was having so much fun i didnt even notice

granite idol
#

One thing i like

#

is that the BL sounds like a much more connected path

#

the main quest is basically 7 portals to 4-level minipaths

#

BL sounds like a full on from start to finish journey

im excited to see how it plays out. gonna go to bed now tho. 7 am and i havent slept yet

if you'd like to dive into quake maps i recommend quake injector

it's an app that lets you browse tons of maps in-app without looking shit up on the internet, and better yet, you just click download and play

no folder and download fuckery

Aight sweet

I’ll check it out

quake injector sounds like drugs

amid evil could benefit from custom levels

yep you inject quake right into your veins

it looks maps up using the quaddicted database

# viscid kraken amid evil could benefit from custom levels

Every game can but then it would not reap the benefits of the unreal engine
It would take way too much time to release a proper level editor for AE
Donut forget indefatigable is just two (2) people
They're working on another project anyway

#

average console enjoyer here, has a switch release of amid evil ever been confirmed/talked about?

you know, Amid Evil could benefit from another game set in the same universe

To be fair, Amid Evil was just ported to VR

unique wren

#

got to the forges in amid evil

#

i hate it i hate it i hate it

#

the forges is actual dogshit

#

that first level in the forges was chronically unfun

willow garnet
#

Lasers, GO

night ginkgo
#

it's crazy how marmite the forges are

#

some people's favourite levels

#

others hate it

mental nimbus
#

yeah I kinda dislike the level design and some enemies

#

it's a bit challenging on evil because painmasters can survive an aeternum shot or maybe I somehow missed the shots-

finite shuttle
#

I think I only really had issue with the first level in Forges, the rest were dope

#

something something having to get the weapons again but the enemies and environment are kind of CBT, so I feel like im fighting for my mf'in life for awhile

mental nimbus
#

I really like e5m1's aesthetic because of the rain, the metal and shit and the forgemaster boss fight, the rest of the episode and the gameplay is eh imo

atomic folio
#

Forge haters should have their access to Black Labyrinth delayed by 2 weeks

#

A suitable punishment I think

trail bolt
#

I like the way the forges look and not so much how it plays

it also has the spike ball enemies so

mental nimbus
#

episode 6 done

#

now I just have to play episode 7 and I'll beat the game on evil

unique wren
#

The forges are goated Leon and don't let any casual scum tell you otherwise spikeball spikeball spikeball spikeball spikeball

oh ok

quaint ivy
#

I only really didn't like 3rd levels of the Forges. Thought the first level was amazing, the second level was okay, and the boss was the best in the entire game at least in my opinion cuz it was the only one I had to think about, and also the only one I died on.

slow tartan
#

i finished forges. hated it

#

boss was cool tho

minor issue. so this door glitched and wouldnt open after i got the silver key. fixed itself after i reloaded the last autosave, just thought id mention it

not by much, just 1/3 less damage against bosses only

Ah, that's good to hear.

#

What difficulty?

slow tartan

medium

Nice.

#

also my favorite boss is still the funny sun man

#

So yeah, cool boss indeed.

granite idol
#

My friend tried doing Amid Evil on Evil difficulty as his first experience

#

He was doing relatively well until he got stuck on the Scrounge complaining that the boss was too spungy while continously ignoring my advice to just farm the minions for soul mode

#

Then, directly after, in this newly opened "pick your own next world" he managed to immediately go to the Forge, easily the hardest area, and has now given up at the Crucible of Pain

night ginkgo
#

haha well

granite idol
#

I have never laughed this much, but I fear he'll never play this game again.

night ginkgo
#

you get what you get

#

reminder you can go back and change difficulty in the gateway

#

if they give it another go lol

granite idol
#

I continously told him that too

#

but he's the type of guy who just refuses

#

Which is really irritating when trying to actually talk about game design with him.

#

Because he'll just go "damn game bad"

#

But, I do have to say, he's quite entertaining to watch rage.

night ginkgo
#

it's a personality type for sure

#

"oh I'm gonna go play on the hardest difficulty to show how baddass I am at games" "ugh I keep dying games sucks"

granite idol
#

"why is the jump so bad. oh the enemy is faster than me?"

#

I even told him like "evil is fun but I do not reccomend it for a first time, I genuinely think it was designed for people already knowledgable of this game."
response: "That's just bad game design"

night ginkgo
#

dude probably wouldn't have even found it, if you hadn't told him

granite idol
#

"It's a hidden difficulty for a reason."

#

"Ok."
dies to astral angel 10 seconds later

#

"WHY ARE THEY SO FAST"

night ginkgo
#

because they're faster on evil lol

#

and have more health

#

next game I'm probably locking the hardest difficulty behind finishing the game first lol

granite idol
#

The only thing he hasn't complained about at all even once is that blue orb staff.
I think he insulted everything else at some point.

night ginkgo
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

can't please em all

granite idol
#

So you can imagine his loving response when he walked into the Forge, the area where it's taken away the longest.

#

"Dude don't go in there I think that's the hardest area leave it for later."

#

"No."

#

dies to spikey ball

#

"This is genuinely unfair they're 10 times faster than me and their hitbox is too big"

solemn hollow
granite idol
#

(he knows nothing of game dev)

solemn hollow
#

Personally i think the fact that the celestial claw can shoot out earth something is evil and horrible game design

#

Kuz who's gonna play the game after that?

granite idol
#

How do you miss with the Aeterunum????

solemn hollow
#

Since it doesn't kill enemies until it lands on a surface

granite idol
#

The top of the cake was just raging at how much he had to backtrack when dying, but then ignoring my advice to F5 quicksave because that's "cheating"

solemn hollow
#

Lol

#

I'm also not a fan of quicksaves, so i sorta get where he's coming from

#

But still

granite idol
#

Like they're not the smoothest thing sure, but like if you're complaining about an issue you're having while having a solution, but you refuse said solution and complain anyway

#

That's like having a big tree in your garden, wanting it out, but refusing to use the nice chainsaw provided on a nearby bench.

solemn hollow
#

Fair point

#

Seems like I did the right thing by doing Hard first.

granite idol
#

According to Leon, BL's Evil difficulty is "CBT mode" due to less mana and more enemies, requiring secret areas to survive

meager vector
#

Do enemy numbers change between Medium and Hard?
I genuinely can't tell.

granite idol
#

I genuinely don't know this in any deep detail

#

Doesn't it say beneath the difficulty in the selection level

night ginkgo
#

Evil is more insane in the BL

#

I had to Nerf some enemies because there were some genuinely impossible parts lol

granite idol
#

I can't wait for my good friend to run blindly into Evil as his first BL experience

#

I'm sure, with the ongoing pattern, that he is going to entertain me for at least a few hours

#

That being said tho I am debating whether to do BL hard or medium first.

#

i feel like I can do hard, but I also know I myself haven't played in a while

rustic barn
#

cept for a few moments in the game

#

the mindset of "play the game on the hardest diff" should have never been shared with mortal peasants

mental nimbus
#

I usually play stuff on medium/normal first, then I play hard and then the hardest difficulties

#

I'll probably play BL on hard

#

or maybe on evil idk

hot crane
hot crane
mental nimbus
#

evil is doable, I just found it very challenging when I got to episode 6

#

if I didn't know about the secrets I would have died a lot more

#

full hp secret items kept saving me lol

#

but then I have no idea of where the secrets in BL are so evil will be very painful

hot crane
#

i gotta learn how to find secrets on the run. i usually check for them after i kill all the enemies.

#

doom taught me that its very useful to leave some secrets for later

mental nimbus
#

I kinda learned that with quake

#

the remaster's nightmare is pure torture so I had to get some secrets like invisibility, invulnerabilty and shit

hot crane
#

am i weird for wanting Quake 2 remaster?

rustic barn
#

Quake 2 is the best quake 2

#

It is not the best quake

#

I'd rather have them announce a new quake game but we'll see

mental nimbus
#

tbh I like quake 1's atmosphere and level design more because I'm not really a fun of sci-fi

#

but I can't deny that quake 2 has some very fun gameplay

carmine yacht
#

Quake 5 best Quake

hot crane
#

imagine a remaster of Quake 2's OST

mental nimbus
#

I wanted to play quake 2 rtx but I don't even have an rtx isasob

hot crane
#

ive heard Q2 RTX sucks because it destroys atmosphere and texture look too smooth

mental nimbus
#

I mean yeah, stroggos looks weird with a blue sky but I'm pretty sure you can edit the skybox/atmosphere and play with the normal orange sky

hot crane
#

technology sure has upgraded

mental nimbus
#

I'm just easily impressed by rtx stuff so I'd play it anyway

#

if I had one at least

granite idol
#

why

#

Leon has done nothing but emphasize how tortorous it is

hot crane
#

@night ginkgo lore question: is Voice of the Ancients, like, a separate entity or an amalgamation of how Ancients speak with telepathy?

mental nimbus
#

I feel like I'm up to the challenge but at the same time I'm not a masochist

granite idol
#

I would not dare have my first experience be evil on BL

#

not only are the enemies new, so I don't know what they do
Not only do I not know the maps
not only do I not know the secret locations
but I also don't have the skill

#

But if you think you can do it, I applaud you

hot crane
granite idol
#

Ok clim I need to ask you for a favor

hot crane
#

touch grass?

granite idol
#

No.

#

I need you to like ignore BL's existance for like 5 days so I can finish it first

#

that way I can comment on your attempts with knowledge

hot crane
#

+SOUL MODE ENGAGED+

granite idol
#

Alright then, but

#

I expect a tier ranking from you

#

from least-CBT to most-CBT level

#

Actually it does make me wonder, the DLC's like what 11 levels

#

all of which are like twice the size of a normal level in the base game

hot crane
#

im opening my TierMaker the moment i finish DLC

hot crane
granite idol
#

ooooh is that so

#

Hm

hot crane
#

yeah i wonder what's the secret is about too

granite idol
#

So that's about

#

6-7 normal levels and 2 or 3 bosses?

#

and an intro and a secret

#

because a 4 level formula would make an 8 level campaign but if this is 9 then it's either an extra normal or an extra boss

#

Probably normal

#

because then it's intro + 3 to boss, then 4 to boss

#

which equalizes to 4 levels then a boss

hot crane
#

i think the final level will be a huge boss arena

granite idol
#

Likely, gotta see that legendary guardian

hot crane
#

like, there might be 2-3 mini-bosses before but they'll probably take place at the end of their levels.

granite idol
#

that'll be new, amid evil doesn't do mini bosses

hot crane
granite idol
#

Well not that we know of

#

There might've been dozens of previous champions for other deeds in distant eons past

#

after all the knowledge that the "axe returns to the labyrinth after the owner dies" has to have been seen and proven

#

I wonder if the keeper will be using it as a weapon or if the axe is just stashed in the next door sanctum

mental nimbus
civic ocean
mental nimbus
#

guess we'll have to learn to have patience against the bosses

civic ocean
#

i just wanted to mention that solar saint boss health doesnt scale with difficulty and that if that was fixed, he'd be painful to fight

#

would still be rather cheesable with soul mode

lilac copper
#

evil is pretty good

#

if there's an enemy you already hate you are gonna hate it even more on evil

hot crane
#

i like how enemies become faster on Evil. seeing a group of Creepers running towards you at the speed of a racing car is terrifying and forces you to use Axe.

mental nimbus
#

and they survive the first hit

#

I remember playing on medium and they used to die to 1 hit.........

hot crane
#

a good thing is that Axe is relatively fast. i cant imagine how would you survive if it was slow like in early builds of the game.

mental nimbus
#

the axe in the early builds sucked

#

it was slow and didn't really feel powerful

#

probably because of the lack of feedback sounds or smth

#

I felt like I was slowly beating the enemies with a paper axe

the wiki says it deals double damage to episode 7 enemies

rustic barn
#

i just figured out the absolute winning move in black labyrinth but my shadowplay doesn't want to work for some reason @unique wren

#

bhop sideways and shoot at the standing enemy whilst making sure to press left whenever you hit the ground because that acts as the forward button

mental nimbus
#

what is that quake mod/level

rustic barn
#

also fun fact: the vores (new enemy in black labyrinth) can cause the game to crash if there's enough of their projectiles flying around
