SOULS

[cinder mist]

@red bough theres going to be an endless mode, but the main game is a singleplayer level by level kinda game

[proper oxide]

It makes us mods not like you

You'll know when keys are dropped

[crystal spruce]

When the stars align and jabronii starts growing his beard until it becomes all consuming and he is a bearded monster

[wooden aurora]

mmmk

[proper oxide]

Lol

[brave condor]

But it will already be too late

[proper oxide]

Me

Growing a beard

[gentle zealot]

because dave fuckin @everyone's every time

[proper oxide]

Kbud

[red bough]

@cinder mist K, thanks 👌🏻

[crystal spruce]

[proper oxide]

Love tea

[crystal spruce]

#bnnuy-and-the-jits pls

[proper oxide]

[weary flax]

will AE have lootboxes?????

[cursive kestrel]

all of the lootboxes

[gentle zealot]

absolutely

[night ginkgo]

lootboxes have AE

[cursive kestrel]

You have a one in 1,000,000 chance to get a free DUSK key in every 10,000th lootbox you open

[gentle zealot]

on the weapon spawns, there's just a chest

[cursive kestrel]

They'll cost around $20 per lootbox so they're pretty cheap

[gentle zealot]

you open it and get a chance to get a weapon

otherwise you'll get health or ammo

😎

[brave condor]

So like gungeon

Kappa

[thorn geyser]

If you get your NewBlood™ Premium™ GOLD™ before the games release you get 1 extra lootbox and 599 oshcoins

[gentle zealot]

*oshcoins

[thorn geyser]

My b

[gentle zealot]

fuckin nerd

[cursive kestrel]

Everything in the game costs a minimum of 600 oshry coins

[brave condor]

FRAUD

Ban this scammer

[proper oxide]

My favorite part about AE is how dissapointed I was when I played it that I didn't have to worry about testing it cause I knew Dave would drop the game eventually

Just joking

It's fucking GREAT

[wooden aurora]

best weapon?

[brave condor]

[night ginkgo]

[misty owl]

When will the lootbox meme die

[gentle zealot]

when companies stop that bullshit

aka, never

but that's a topic for #bnnuy-and-the-jits 😎

[proper oxide]

Hey guys here's a cool PROTIP for AE

[quick aurora]

So when's preorders?

[thorn geyser]

No info on that

[proper oxide]

Smack demons with the to kill them

[cursive kestrel]

you can preorder on march 2nd 1992

[wooden aurora]

how meany bosses

[proper oxide]

Enough

[quick aurora]

I'm having some issues with AE right now, I'm trying to pre-order AE but people are saying "pre-orders are not available yet"

[cursive kestrel]

This is a Christian server, no swaering!

[quick aurora]

Pls fix

[proper oxide]

AE has triple the amount of bosses that cuphead has

In fact

Every enemy is a boss

[cursive kestrel]

A boss of his own private startup company

To support his suffering family

[thorn geyser]

:(

[stark olive]

So we're talkin Shadow of the Collosus eh?

[lilac pebble]

🍆

yea, that excited

[buoyant phoenix]

Some of the areas give me a serious sam/doom4 vibe, especially the sunset area.

[tranquil stream]

aeeeeeee cool

also hello not-heretic trident staff :P

[crystal spruce]

O_O

I have all the raging nerdboners for this

[dim marsh]

[dark granite]

WHATEVER NERD

[proper oxide]

btw ae much like dusk is cancel lol

[steel brook]

Aww heck

[proper oxide]

also, that FAQ says PROBABLY not

YOU NEVER KNOW

[proper oxide]

duskworld crossover content my dudes

mod it IN

[robust portal]

I'll mod you in

[steel brook]

Nah, I'm plenty excited for SP, don't need multiplayer :p

[proper oxide]

we'll make NBArena and just keep adding new characters and weapons to the game with each release

hope you're ready to play as a fucking space ship weilding a shotgun in NBArena

[dark granite]

i want to play as a vr keyboard with a molotov

[cursive kestrel]

could call it

...First Blood

[dark granite]

WHY DOES NB HAVE SO MANY GAMES NOW

6 games lmao

[proper oxide]

cause dave likes EPIC VIDYA

[dim marsh]

gotta collect em all

[proper oxide]

[gentle zealot]

[devout olive]

I JUST SPENT 30 MINUTES GETTING A HOTSPOT TO WORK SO I CAN WATCH THE TRAILER

[cursive kestrel]

So Gilby

approximately how many hours has that erection been present for?

[dark granite]

also gilby you missed it earlier but i want you to know those weapon models are actually sprites

i love that fact, and they arent advertising it

[proper oxide]

too be fair

[devout olive]

since 6:00 this morning when I got the notification that the reveal was today

[proper oxide]

i dont think the average user cares that they are sprites

[dark granite]

thats true

but i do

[topaz stump]

Same

I care

[dire briar]

"could be better tbh"

[devout olive]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[proper oxide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czj6m1nhRCE replace the game with AE and you have gilby

[devout olive]

I really love the unreal intro vibe you had at 00:12

it made me wet

🤔

[dark granite]

thats e1m1

[crystal spruce]

lemme be player 2

[kind linden]

[dark granite]

also, if youve seen us playing 'Nearby to Badness'

Amid Evil

lmao

[topaz stump]

@devout olive Thats the PAX account prob

[devout olive]

nearby doesnt fucking mean amid

[topaz stump]

I can make it go up to 2 :)

[dark granite]

i didnt write it

[devout olive]

[topaz stump]

steamcharts should say 2 players now

🤔

[topaz stump]

there

wew

i got dat vidya

[devout olive]

gotta go

be back in like an hour

[topaz stump]

go to pax aus

[lofty tinsel]

That trailer made me incredibly moist

[crude echo]

Wait a moment

Amid-evil

Mid-evil

[quick aurora]

Medi-Evil

[crystal spruce]

amide vil. or maybe, even ami devil.

[urban quiver]

Medi evil next NB project confirmed

[crystal spruce]

am i devil????

[quick aurora]

Directed by M Night Shamalan

[urban quiver]

Steev at first glance i thought ur pfp was the heavens gate guy

[lilac pebble]

So now we wait

[jaunty cairn]

is Amid-Evil the DARK SOULS of FPS?

[misty owl]

Stop

[crude echo]

Oh no

It's started

[lilac pebble]

kind of reminds me of kings field a bit more than a souls game

[crude echo]

It's been nice knowing you guys

Lol

[quick aurora]

I wish dark souls jokes stopped existing

[crude echo]

^

Sometimes I regret playing them lol

[lilac pebble]

never regret playing dark souls

[quick aurora]

The pinnacle of that meme was the Crash Bandicoot video

[crude echo]

Yeah

[gentle zealot]

mmm this is some good AE talk

[quick aurora]

The one I'm talking about is posted in #meme-review

[proper oxide]

Kings Field is much harder then Dark Souls anyway

[quick aurora]

As to not clog AE chat

[proper oxide]

BUT BESIDES THE POINT

[quick aurora]

AE more like

[lilac pebble]

should we expect this game some around the end if next year?

[quick aurora]

AYYYY E

[proper oxide]

We have ZERO timeframe for AE other than "done when it's done"

[lilac pebble]

sounds good

[quick aurora]

I always prefer the phrase "Look for it next week in games magazine"

[proper oxide]

You'll get more info this weekend during pax aus

[lilac pebble]

kool beans

[quick aurora]

If I don't get an AE key by pure miracle, I'll definitely buy it

[proper oxide]

Until then be PATIENT AND REMEMBER TO SMASH THE FUCKING LIKE BUTTON ON THE TRAILER

[quick aurora]

It seriously reminds me of a pre-rendered background in something like Myst

But it's 3D AND REAL TIME

With the super harsh lighting

[proper oxide]

Oh it's beautiful

When I first played it my mouth was wide open

[quick aurora]

Really stark, unnatural look

It's so good

[gentle zealot]

fuck i wanna see how the sprites respond to lighting

[lilac pebble]

speaking of likes, who have the one dislike hmm?

[proper oxide]

That was me

[quick aurora]

Me

Damnit

[proper oxide]

It's my sole duty to dislike every NB vid

@gentle zealot what's crazy is the lighting makes them seem like they are 3d models

It's crazy

[quick aurora]

Wait what?

How much of the game is sprites?

[topaz stump]

The weapons.

[proper oxide]

The weapons and pickups

[quick aurora]

OH

Okay

Now, if the enemies were sprites

[proper oxide]

The enemies are models

[quick aurora]

Then holy shit

[crystal spruce]

wait they are? huh.

[gentle zealot]

yeah you could kinda see it in the trailer but everything was moving so fast that you couldn't really see the nuance to what was happening

[crystal spruce]

i didn't at all get the impression that they were sprites

[proper oxide]

You would never know if we didn't tell you

It looks that good

[topaz stump]

^

[crystal spruce]

what's the rationale for that? just easier to produce and modify?

[thorny vault]

👀 totes ready for this one

[proper oxide]

Idk you would have to ask @night ginkgo

[void horizon]

what's this lame game with Minecraft gfx

megatextures or gtfo

[thorny vault]

I got that whenever I played Dungeon Keeper....

[scarlet crystal]

[topaz stump]

We got that pinned already 👍

[scarlet crystal]

ah my bad, I didn't see]

game looks great btw.

[dire briar]

AEAEAEAEAE

You guys happy now?!

[misty owl]

Yeah it looks very nice

Can't wait to try it out

[pseudo moss]

damn it happened while i was sleeping

[mild stirrup]

I like the look of this game.

Dynamic lighting mixed with pixel textures. Pretty unique.

I don't think I've seen a game go for that kind of aesthetic before.

Keeping a close eye on this one, as I do enjoy the Heretic/Hexen games.

[void horizon]

trailer doesn't do it justice. It's pretty spectacular in person.

[pseudo moss]

youtube compression usually doesn't play nice with pixely stuff

[void horizon]

yeah

when I first got to play it I spent the first few minutes in the starting area just turning and watching the light play off the weapon sprites

[gentle zealot]

^ that'll prolly be me when i get to it

[cursive kestrel]

hahahahaha, same here

it's so cool to see

[high crest]

Wow!

I'm too excited for this. Looking great as expected from you guys!! Very much looking forward to this one and am spreading the word as fast as humanly possible 😂

[devout olive]

NONE ARE MORE HYPE THAN I

AE HYPE SQUAD

[high crest]

😁 😁

[dark granite]

the axe has REALLY good lighting when you get near some blue mystical light sources

trust

[last lintel]

either that or exiting caves

[brave condor]

[topaz stump]

[vestal owl]

[dark granite]

good

THIS IS A GOOD POST

[brave condor]

PogChamp

[vestal owl]

Woot!

[quick aurora]

You earned it, bud

[cursive kestrel]

Quality

[void horizon]

lol

best emote spam

[quick aurora]

I'm really curious as to how lighting would work on a 2D sprite in a 3D environment

[last lintel]

that is a REALLY good post

holy shit

[quick aurora]

Best answer: a different sprite was drawn for every single lighting possibility

[last lintel]

i like this guy

this guy's got the stuff

[dark granite]

normal maps

[stoic zephyr]

this looks pretty neat

[void horizon]

@quick aurora naw it's shader wizardry

[quick aurora]

I'm going to take an uneducated guess on what normal mapping means

[dark granite]

thats a normal map

[quick aurora]

A "3D" "map" is created of the sprite, and the lighting is based off that "3d" "map", and the 3D lighting is converted to the sprite

[void horizon]

normal mapping is the opposide of Boston streets, amirite?

[dark granite]

lmao

[gentle zealot]

wew lad

in short, it's the simulation of details on a texture

[brave condor]

this is an automap

[gentle zealot]

in regards to lighting

[quick aurora]

So the map is basically an invisible 3D model that converts the lighting to the sprite

And that is my guess with no prior knowledge

[cursive kestrel]

Nah

[quick aurora]

Now, if everybody in the room would please school me super hard

[void horizon]

a normal map is just a texture that holds information on the 3d map of a surface

[cursive kestrel]

It's basically information on the lighting heights and directions for each pixel

[void horizon]

the different colors above are how light acts based on what direction it's coming from

or

wait

that's a bad way of puitting it

Zombie's typing he can explain better

[cursive kestrel]

Normal maps often appear blue because of the Z coordinate (blue, RGB = XYZ)

[quick aurora]

Man

[cursive kestrel]

And nah David's right

[quick aurora]

I don't know shit about anything

[quasi pier]

holy jesus on pogo stick.this announcement was...unexpected

[quick aurora]

So based of what David said, the different colors determine how light reacts when it touched that area?

[cursive kestrel]

Essentially, yes

[dark granite]

on a normal map. yep

[quick aurora]

Okay, that makes sense

[cursive kestrel]

It's often used to make a model look more detailed than it actually is

As a result it's very useful on 2D images too

[cursive kestrel]

Look up normal mapped sprites and you'll see what I mean

[tranquil stream]

normal maps are what a lot of folks generally mean when they say "bumpmapping"

if that helps connect the bumps

dots*

[cursive kestrel]

Yeah

[quasi pier]

so...this game is by New Blood? not interceptor?

[gentle zealot]

i c wot u did thar

[quick aurora]

Wow

[gentle zealot]

it's published by NB

[quick aurora]

My guess sure was fucking dumb

[cursive kestrel]

Interceptor and New Blood are separate companies, Interceptor isn't involved here

[dark granite]

The studio that developed it is Indefatigable

[cursive kestrel]

Although they're known as Slipgate now

[void horizon]

It's by ex-Interceptor folks

or

that is

ex-Interceptor folks are working on it

[gentle zealot]

some ex-interceptor peeps

[void horizon]

(the good ones)

[gentle zealot]

not all of 'em

[cursive kestrel]

You may also know them as the developers of the Return of the Triad mod for ZDoom

[tranquil stream]

doom people :D

[quasi pier]

one suggestion: please do Dusk quality game,not ROTT13

[cursive kestrel]

Dave crying in the distance

[quick aurora]

Careful, one of the guys who worked on that is in here

[void horizon]

ONE of?

[cursive kestrel]

Not just one

[void horizon]

dude half of New Blood was involved with RoTT13 in some way

[cursive kestrel]

The lead dev on AE was a level designer on ROTT

[brave condor]

welp

[quick aurora]

Alright settle, I wasn't aware

[brave condor]

you ruined it

AE is cancelled

[small crescent]

rip

[void horizon]

I wasn't, but I'm actually way more concerning because I'm someone who genuinely liked RoTT13 :D

[dark granite]

the dudes working on AE were level designers

[gentle zealot]

yep, just like dusk

cancelled

[brave condor]

and thats why dusk was cancelled

[void horizon]

^^^

[brave condor]

[quasi pier]

but ROTT13 was buggy mess with shitty platforming,Dusk is fucking awesome game with basiccaly no bad elements

so i dont want another ROTT13 style game

[dark granite]

the dudes on ae only made levels

not the programming or anything like that

so dont worry

[cursive kestrel]

Yeah, AE is in good hands

Don't worry

[quasi pier]

so....when? 😛

yes i know.soon

[gentle zealot]

you just answered your own question 😎

[craggy cypress]

dagnabit another game I NEED!!!!!

[quasi pier]

maybe year of release? 2017 possible? or 2018?

[void horizon]

SOON AD

[gentle zealot]

in the wise words of jabronii:
"We have ZERO timeframe for AE other than "done when it's done""

[dark granite]

2018

[quasi pier]

thats ok...Dusk is gonna be my top oldschool game of the 2017

[quick aurora]

When asked for info about AE, I think the official response should be "Look forward to it next week in gaming magazines"

[gentle zealot]

there's already a pcgamer article up if you check the pins

[quick aurora]

That's not what I meant

I'm saying people should be told to look for it in physical gaming magazines

The joke being that they are obsolete and mostly nonexistent

[misty owl]

ha

[jovial laurel]

Woke up just now to find out that new blood is dropping another banger

wtf now I'm going to be wanting this to come out

Oh NB isn't developing it

looks neat anyways

[quick aurora]

btw what's this weeb shit

[cursive kestrel]

NB is primarily a publisher

Rather than a developer

[gentle zealot]

hey someone finally noticed

[void horizon]

ninja'd

[gentle zealot]

lol

[topaz stump]

nani

[gentle zealot]

blame @frosty drift

[void horizon]

New BLood is technically just publisher, although distinctions are really fuzzy

[cursive kestrel]

None of the games under NB's name are "developed" by NB, they're developed by various people and said development is overseen by NB

With creative direction given here and there

[frosty drift]

that's leon's thing

[cursive kestrel]

but it does make a huge difference overall

[void horizon]

yeah what Zombie said

[frosty drift]

just translates to amid evil

and ye NB provides publishing and development support but the games themselves are made by other people / teams

[void horizon]

like, Amid Evil is not from "the developers of Dusk" like some people have said. I have nothing to do with it. It does however also have music by Andrew and is being produced by Dave.

New Blood is just a very weird company

[frosty drift]

!nbinfo

[keen coral]

New Blood is a game development studio founded by friends and run like maniacs. We develop, we publish, we chur. For more information visit: www.newblood.info.

[topaz stump]

Note: Out of date website. Update SOON™

[frosty drift]

nah both domains go to the same place

[void horizon]

to be perfectly fair though Dave is involved enough with Dusk design that he's practically a co-designer

BUT

ANYWAY

[topaz stump]

The site is still out of date avain lol

[void horizon]

NB= publisher

[cursive kestrel]

Yeah, NB roots deep in Dusk at this point

[void horizon]

tl;dr

doing credits for Dusk is going to be interesting

[cursive kestrel]

Still very much a David Szymanski game, but without NB it'd be an entirely different beast

[void horizon]

yup

[frosty drift]

that's where the "development support" comes in

NB's got both a QAT and people ready to help with code etc

[cursive kestrel]

It's definitely an interesting setup

Something quite unlike anything I've heard of before

[topaz stump]

New Blood World Wide

[void horizon]

yeah not to mention Duskworld is basically a QA team effort.

[cursive kestrel]

that's an even more interesting part

[void horizon]

@cursive kestrel it's chaos theory the compant

[cursive kestrel]

QA is kinda like

a secondary dev team at this point

[void horizon]

yeah lol

but just for Dusk

[cursive kestrel]

I couldn't name another QA team with that much power

[frosty drift]

mhm

[void horizon]

Amid Evil, Riot, and Spacemen are all more traditional

with their own teams

[cursive kestrel]

Even then there's still more QA interaction than what I hear about there being in other companies

[void horizon]

true

[frosty drift]

well usually QA is outsourced to a completely different company from the game studio itself

there are these giant QA sweatshops around most bigger devs use

[cursive kestrel]

considering the number of day 1 patches you see these days, they can't be too effective

either that or they're ignored

[gentle zealot]

ahem don't mean to uh, moderate the staff but it's getting a little off topic innit

[void horizon]

from stories I've heard QA gets ignored a lot

[cursive kestrel]

oh right this is #amid-evil-or-hunt-showdown isn't it

[void horizon]

oh hey ur right

[topaz stump]

#bnnuy-and-the-jits

[jovial laurel]

Can I work for NB?

Like as a janitor or something?

[cursive kestrel]

Not if you post in the wrong channels 😏

[void horizon]

isn't that a prerequisite for employment actually?

[cursive kestrel]

shhhhh don't tell him that

[frosty drift]

You're all fired in that case

[cursive kestrel]

Sometimes I read comments like this and I can't tell if they're screwing around or have never actually played a 90s Quake mod

[brave condor]

LUL

thats the point you bellend

[void horizon]

OH NO THE GAME THAT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK RETRO LOOKS RETRO

[gentle zealot]

it's like they totally ignored all the sweet lighting that quake wasn't capable of

[cursive kestrel]

or like

everything else

[void horizon]

99% of people who say "X looks like a game from [insert date here]" have either never played games from that era or are relying on dusty old memories

[cursive kestrel]

dusk looks like a low budget game from 2019 lol

get with the times and make a pong clone

[void horizon]

I could totally make the most next-gen pong clone you've ever seen

those paddles would have so much normal mapping

[cursive kestrel]

whoa let's not get crazy here

how could anybody run it?

[void horizon]

easy, just download more rams from the internet

[cursive kestrel]

http://downloadmoreram.com/

[brave condor]

ubisoft tried it with tetris

look where that got them

the world was just not ready for that level of fidelity

[frosty drift]

normal mapping? who cares?

B L O O M

[devout olive]

first AE fanart?

[dark granite]

first

[devout olive]

^confirmed by the man himself

worth rushing to be first tbh

[dark granite]

nice profile pic tbh

[devout olive]

thanks tbh

[last lintel]

noice tbh

[rapid tulip]

Hello there, we need so much a dark fantasy fps nowadays like heretic or hexen, im hyped for this one but does it use the classic map style like Heretic or more like Hexen? :)

[dark granite]

More like heretic

[rapid tulip]

nice!

^^

i will buy it, the design and stuff looks good!

[dark granite]

Youll see more in the coming week

the trailer is only a small peek

[rapid tulip]

oki

[safe violet]

i just saw the trailer, welp I am headed back to the poor train.

[dire briar]

CHOO CHOO

[ocean osprey]

"Heretic" har har.

[pearl inlet]

wot

[rapid tulip]

just with the trailer, im really hyped, the design/colors style looks really cool, corridors and large area! :D So cool :)

heretic is my favorite fps with Blood :3

[crystal spruce]

haha

my guess of aeons of evil was probably the closest

hey ho

is this a new room for a new game? it wasn't here before

oho

i thought this was going to be revealed at Pax Aus

[gentle zealot]

it uh

was

[dark granite]

it is pax aus

[crystal spruce]

wait what, fucking hell

i can never get the dates right

i thought it was going to be this friday

after i imagined it was last friday

so It's Heretic 3: the Hexening

i never was much into heretic but i would probably buy anyway

SUPPORT ALL NEW BLOOD RELEASES

RECEIVE MAXIMUM OSCOINS

[night ginkgo]

pax aus is tomorrow

[frosty bear]

Any plans for alpha or beta tests where one can sign up for? =3

[gentle zealot]

not at the moment

[cursive kestrel]

when and if something like that happens, I'm sure the announcement will be loud

[crystal spruce]

Dave will type the same thing in caps 15 times in a row

"BETA TEST BETA TEST BETA TEST"

[half pelican]

Amid Evil?

Dont ya mean...

[gentle zealot]

no

because that would be copyright infringement 😎

[pearl inlet]

make sure it has sadisticly hard puzzels

[buoyant phoenix]

Guys look at the fonts

Of evil dead and amid evil

[pearl inlet]

looks almost the same

[white granite]

tru

[gentle zealot]

nah

[crystal spruce]

i wish it did not run on UE4 but i can live with that

apparently it runs on everything

hopefully the levels will be appropriately big to justify the engine choice

[dark granite]

the game looks pretty nice as well

its hard to see in the trailer

it doesnt really accurately capture it

[gentle zealot]

lighting is always something that'll catch my attention if it's good and the bits i seen were 20/10

[brazen forge]

Amid Evil? Damn, guess we`ll never know what AE stands for...

[lilac pebble]

After Earth

[gentle zealot]

[sterile briar]

ok so

when is this

supposedly

gonan come out

[crystal spruce]

Ok. So. let me get this straight. This is hexenXfate but with rubbery movement of stock unreal engine fps controller

[sterile briar]

so its

good graphics

with a mix of

90s

pixel shit

i dig

[crystal spruce]

i won't comment on digging anything till i have it in my hands. retro inspired is always a fine edge to walk.

[dark granite]

nah no stock controller

controls fairly tight, has fun rocket jumping

[crystal spruce]

Videos don't show it properly tho. needs a tiny "welcome to the fray" video which shows player moving, stopping, rocket jumping and firing. uncut.

[dark granite]

there will be a live gameplay demo during this weekends pax event

we'll post times etc here

thatd be the best place to see uncut gameplay

[crystal spruce]

ah, okay. yeah, that should do it.

actually i wanted to ask another thing, but that's for general channel, so i'm going there

[bitter elbow]

HOLY SHIT

AMID EVIL ITS A PLAY OF A MEDIEVAL

"I want a key to (insert game here). How can I get one?"
There are 2 ways to get keys currently.

1) Lurk the discord and hope a key is randomly dropped
2) Attend New Blood movie nights (every 2nd Saturday of the month)

Key begging is considered spam and will be removed / ignored

[tall temple]

Little bit of everything

[craggy cypress]

How big of a team is working on this or is it just one guy

[frosty drift]

a team of about 3 + the NB QAT

[craggy cypress]

Ok

[loud belfry]

So, will this have multiple classes like in hexen?

[proper oxide]

nah

[pearl inlet]

so is it some heretic thing but in Unreal

[proper oxide]

gameplay is more like heretic

[mild stirrup]

Honestly, amazing how a team of so few people can make games of this quality nowadays.

[pearl inlet]

yet a company like bluehole cant resist make the game run worse after so much money

This looks absolutely incredible. The only thing I don't like is the name. Sounds like generic indie horror game. Should be called something like Heathen, but maybe that would leave you a bit open to getting cease and desist?

[dire briar]

Probably lol

HEXEN 3 CONFIRM

[white granite]

i like that there's a purple thin pasta magic shooter weapon

[void horizon]

Am I Devil?

[white granite]

do you feel like one?

[topaz stump]

🤔

[white granite]

[frosty drift]

[kind flicker]

You are Amid Devil Boss

damn that's good. You can use that.

[craggy cypress]

So is this going to be handled similarly to dusk where keys were gradually dropped over time giving people access to the game as to be able to gather critiscism to tweak and adjust the game in its earlier stages?

[kind flicker]

No. Keys will be available in boxes of Churios and Honey Nut Churios

[craggy cypress]

Well I do love honey nut cheerios

[brave eagle]

If you buy PREMIUM DELUXE EXTRA Oshurios, you will be guaranteed to get a key

[white granite]

you kids with keys in cereal boxes

[kind flicker]

Good call. Might be the salt content but Churios are just making me thirsty

[white granite]

might be churiosis

[dark tusk]

I have a key

use it wisely

[white granite]

no need for wisdom

is blue, unlocks blue door

[craggy cypress]

my steam is blue

bum bum bum

[frosty drift]

🤔

[fading silo]

I have to ask: Hexen had some pretty cool co-op. Will there be multiplayer of any sort?

[topaz stump]

Not at this time.

But who knows!

[frosty drift]

the game's still rather early in it's dev cycle

ask again in about 3 months or so 😛

[wild glacier]

new game eh?

[kind linden]

What if Corvus...had a gun?

[simple skiff]

then he'd go rat-a-tat-tat and blast d'sparil with his gat

[dire briar]

AE release will be very similar to DUSK yes

Pre alpha keys SOON

[craggy cypress]

Woo

[dire briar]

So lurk hard

[craggy cypress]

I always do

👻 in the shadiws.

[devout olive]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

DAVE PLS

DONT DO ME LIKE THIS

[steel brook]

Ooh, so there's going to be some sort of demo build like the 2016 dusk thingy?

[dire briar]

Yah

[thorny vault]

👀

[thorn geyser]

And so it begins again

[weary flax]

did somebody say

KEYS?

[gentle zealot]

don't make me get the soaphammer

[quick aurora]

🔑

So will Amid Evil have dual-audio for the original Japanese audio and the English dub?

[frosty drift]

yea

the japanese voice acting will be done entirely by hentai actors aswell

[quick aurora]

My favorite

[gentle zealot]

dude nice

[quick aurora]

I'm glad you guys are allowing players to experience the intended Nippon voices

[tranquil stream]

Nippon <--> Nipple

[buoyant phoenix]

That one boss in the blue arena that threw curved projectiles really gave me a dark souls vibe

[dire briar]

Yeah he's a cunt

[frosty drift]

yea that arena is pretty dark sols-y

[brave condor]

Is is the dark souls of heretic?

[misty owl]

stop

[tranquil stream]

I wonder what the dark souls of dark souls is

[crystal spruce]

Bloodborne

[tranquil stream]

[hardy mural]

Dave played ae and died like straight away

[devout olive]

That's Dave alright

[misty owl]

Did he turn aim assist all the way up

[devout olive]

Probably

[frosty drift]

AE ain't got any

[quasi pier]

Ost is gonna be metal style or ambient?

[frosty drift]

variety

[hardy mural]

The bird sounds at the beginning are cancerous

I dont know how much i can say without dave beating me

[frosty drift]

talking bout what you've played on the showfloor is 👌 . no pics or video though

[hardy mural]

Well its kinda like a cross between quake and hexen

The weapons are really cool

[crystal spruce]

lol "variety" makes me think like, one level will just be big band music out of nowhere.

[hardy mural]

Well it was more like ow my fucking ears

I wanted to turn it down since it was so loud

[boreal remnant]

Pre-alpha keys you say?

[dark tusk]

[boreal remnant]

Or will an army of lurkers be standing by.

I don't want to set through a Shrek marathon for this.

[crystal spruce]

Hey Devs, are you guys going to be putting lots of puzzles in as well or is it going to be non-stop action?

[hardy mural]

What if i key spam dave irl?

There are puzzles

In a quake sense

[dire briar]

Not a lot of.puzzles

So far

[hardy mural]

The dave has risen

Dont fear dave im just having a food break and i shall return

[crystal spruce]

game seems bonkers, I'm looking forward to trying it out!

[devout olive]

YES IT WILL BE GREAT

[hardy mural]

Its alright

[wheat yarrow]

Music will be heavily synth and string and big drum based for the most part. The original Deus Ex and Unreal were pretty heavy refs when work started. I also threw in some of my own inspiration from other dungeon crawling games.

Each piece of music has also been written specifically for a dynamic system we have in place. Certain parts of levels shift the music.

[white granite]

UNATCO theme flashbacka

This makes me happy

[kind flicker]

Can't stress enough how bloody cool this game graphics are. The look that mixes old with new in such an interesting way is absolutely inspired.

[proper oxide]

We can make games with grafics

[steel brook]

I hope you take some cues from Deus Ex's ambient tracks, because it has some of the best ambient music of any game ever IMO

[proper oxide]

Music is super good

I can tell you that much

[muted vigil]

what is this dark souls?

[proper oxide]

Nah

Heretic

But with grafics

[muted vigil]

mmmmm nice

[kind flicker]

Still think it needs a more Heretic-ish name. Heathen, Hades, Halacha, Harg, Hellenism, Heresy..

[devout olive]

no

[steel brook]

Amid Evil's pretty good IMO

Plus you have to have tact with how you wear your inspiration

[proper oxide]

Amid Evil can mean a lot of things to lore dudes

Cause there's several messages in those two words

[kind flicker]

It's growing on me the more I look at it I'll give it that

[proper oxide]

Either way it's way to late to change now lol

Unless we have to pull a Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion, which I doubt

[devout olive]

what happened with that

[thorn geyser]

So the game was originally "Spooky's House of Jumpscares" but some studio or something called "Spookhouse Productions" or something similar told then to change it.

[tranquil stream]

oh man, deus ex / unreal inspired soundtracks? stylistically the best thing

[crystal spruce]

Alexander Brandon forever

[crystal spruce]

is there a demo for this or something?

[tidal trellis]

yeah

at pax aus

[crystal spruce]

maybe there'll be another pre-order bonus like with Dusk

[proper oxide]

Who knows

Just stay tuned

But don't spam plz

[tranquil stream]

the pre-order bonus is a can of spam

[with "dacon" scribbled on the side in sharpie]

[frosty drift]

nah

bacon flavoured popcorn

[misty owl]

That sounds disgusting

genetically modified meat-flavored beef with extra bovine growth hormones

I like Amid Evil, mainly because of the play on words with Medieval.

[crude echo]

Yup

You can shoot planets at people

eh planets are for babies. gotta get dat soul mode and shoot a sun instead
