😭

i feel pain...

great job LFG

have fun

[tacit quartz]

oh I will

[alpine junco]

grats LFG!

[quick aurora]

DAMNIT

[tropic patio]

i was on the wrong computer without steam open

feelsbadman

[quick aurora]

I was distracted talking about roguelikes

I had steam open and everything

[tacit quartz]

gotta go fast

[tropic patio]

worst part is im shaking from the adrenaline of seeing the key

[tacit quartz]

you need to chill

it's just a key

[tropic patio]

I neeeeeed it

[quick aurora]

It's a RARE KEY

[tacit quartz]

plenty of more chances

[tropic patio]

very rare

[tacit quartz]

christmas is coming

[tropic patio]

yeah but y'know you get pumped when you see it

[tacit quartz]

massive key drops then

I wasn't pumped

I just saw it and redeemed it

lol

[tropic patio]

i oofed by sitting 10 feet away from my main computer with ez access to steam

[robust portal]

Cool story

[quick aurora]

Watch as this is the last key drop ever

[alpine junco]

lol

[tropic patio]

only other is gleam io with 2000 entries, super low chance

[tacit quartz]

like I said

many more chances

I missed some

and now I got one

[tropic patio]

hype

[patent thicket]

I don't even want a key I want a BUY button..!

[tropic patio]

ae for early access?

[crystal spruce]

you just gotta be viligilant

[tropic patio]

yup

any free time? just stare at #amid-evil-or-hunt-showdown

[frosty drift]

ae keys can drop outside of this channel btw 😉

[crystal spruce]

or dusk

[patent thicket]

Eh I doubt it. New Blood is ostensibly trying to avoid the stigmas of Early Access. I understand but hey baby Early Access has been done right before.

[tropic patio]

oh SHOOOOOT

yeah no early access

[patent thicket]

Yeah but have you cinsidered that... I want to play AMID EVIL?

[tropic patio]

nah you need luck at around 8 or 9

level it up git gud

[patent thicket]

BUT I WANNA

[dire briar]

Oh shit LFG got the key?

Time to deactivate all keys

[robust portal]

lmao

[tacit quartz]

kek

[thorn geyser]

Rip

[tropic patio]

heheh

[tropic patio]

thanks

[devout olive]

praise be to shillbot

[crystal spruce]

AAAEEEE

(Amid Evil)

[solid moss]

Will this game use the Steam Cloud?

[last lintel]

Yep, you'll be able to store your cloud saves and all that

[solid moss]

Thanks for the reply!

Really hyped for this.

Will the release work like DUSK's, where buyers can play the first episode?

[proper oxide]

too early to say

[bright anchor]

How much will it cost anyway?

20$ like DUSK?

[latent pagoda]

let me guess $20.00?

[dire briar]

we're thinking $20 yeah

lots of content in dis one

[tropic patio]

good price

[dire briar]

7 episodes

is long

levels v big

[tacit quartz]

first level is already big

[tropic patio]

is it a 30 hour long game /s

[tacit quartz]

so I imagine more the same

possibly even longer if you want to 100%

[dire briar]

yeah I mean it's gonna be pretty long

longer than DUSK cuz u cant just hup thru it

but no MP

so

it evens out

[tropic patio]

I can't wait to play it

it looks like it's gonna be a great game

[dark granite]

i played it once

it was cool

[tacit quartz]

are you gonna add a windowed mode?

I cannot find that in the settings

probably there is a way to get it windowed somehow with startup parameters

[dark granite]

theres a windowed mode option

[tacit quartz]

oh

me being blind

[tropic patio]

lol

[tacit quartz]

yup works like a charm

font tricked me

[tropic patio]

i could see thqat

[tacit quartz]

it's a bit hard to read

[tropic patio]

yeah

[crystal spruce]

that's a bad font

[dire briar]

it used to be worse

[tropic patio]

dang

[robust portal]

Aww I like the font 😦

[tacit quartz]

I like it too

but hard to read

[tropic patio]

^

[robust portal]

Lil bit, yeah

[crystal spruce]

it's not a good general use font

[robust portal]

I've probably asked this before but MP is not planned for post launch or ever, yes?

[tacit quartz]

especially the messages in the game

[tropic patio]

we shall see

[dire briar]

nah maybe co op

but prob not MP

AE does not need MP

also the movement doesnt really end itself well to it

[robust portal]

Oh coop would be cool

[crystal spruce]

coop would be cool yeah

[alpine junco]

tbh yea

[craggy cypress]

Unless the focus is on mp few games really "need" it

[robust portal]

Loved hexen coop

[crystal spruce]

i remember doing hexen runs with 2 of my buddies back in the day

[dire briar]

co op endless could be a thing

[crystal spruce]

that was good times

[dire briar]

campaign would be harder

idk ask Leon

[robust portal]

I dunno I like medieval deathmatch :)

Nice change of pace from quake clones and hero shooters

[crude echo]

custom coop levels?

[robust portal]

But I can live without it

[crude echo]

^

[tropic patio]

level maker?

[tacit quartz]

it's unreal

so probably sdk

[tropic patio]

oh

[crude echo]

AE with Dusk levels

and vice versa

[tropic patio]

chibi do you speedrun

[crude echo]

no

[tropic patio]

ok good

[proper oxide]

zombie is refusing to work on an sdk for unreal, so unless leon or somone else wants to step up to the plate

[crude echo]

🍽

[tropic patio]

[crystal spruce]

good for Zimbabwe

[hidden dune]

So does like, David secretly loathe AE because it has the Daikatana different themes thing that he really wanted to do?

[crystal spruce]

no because they're both bad games

:]

[rotund bloom]

Hi. Can anybody here who has played Amid-Evil comment on whether it plays more like Dusk or Quake or maybe Hexen 2? I'm keeping my eye out for more shooters where you can go fast through big levels so the trailer is making me hopeful.

[proper oxide]

movement system is completey different from quake and dusk

no bhopping

[hidden dune]

Is the movement very slippery like in Doom, or is there a lot of traction like in say, Quake 3?

[rotund bloom]

Ya from the trailer I couldn't figure if it was a maze-like levels with enemies throughout Doom style or more like a segmented arena filled with monsters Serious Sam style game

[hidden dune]

No, it's definitely maze-like levels

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je3IJP-ECtI

[proper oxide]

lotta good exploration and really good level flow

[crystal spruce]

In My View ™ : there's nothing really technically complicated about the movement system. that said, there's not much preventing you from playing at an accelerated pace, but the game also doesn't stop you from playing at your own pace. So basically if you play it like doom you'll be fine.

[proper oxide]

you have to be a complete dumbass to get lost

so i wouldnt say maze-like

[hidden dune]

Still looks less linear than the average '98-'99 FPS, though

[proper oxide]

nah

still open ended

[hidden dune]

Leon is a big fan of ROTT, so does this mean there will be giant, empty maps where you have to find the one secret pushblock in order to find the next key?

[night ginkgo]

Will this game use the Steam Cloud?
it already does, yay
Oh coop would be cool
We might add it post release, but there's only me and simmo working on this game. might be beyond our ability.

[rotund bloom]

That level 2 gameplay video is great. I'm pretty impressed with how well the modern lighting effects pair with the level geometry. I'm also a bit of a sucker for lowres, unfiltered textures on high res monitors. So sharp.

[proper oxide]

AE is AEPIC

haha

[night ginkgo]

👌

[hidden dune]

AE looks like it has great contrast between the big, open areas and the tight corridors just like classic FPS games

A lot of "throwbacks" either do one or the other

[proper oxide]

my favorite part is the epic procgen of empty rooms with 1 or 2 platforms

[rotund bloom]

Exciting gameplay different every time you play. Which side of the room will the platform be on this time?

Not that I don't enjoy the glut of FPS rougelites...

[proper oxide]

sometimes it spawns on the roof

so you cant even do anything with it

[rotund bloom]

Being unable to finish a level is part of the unique challenge only procgen can provide. You don't get that kind of edge of your seat thrill of "will this room even work" with the hand made shit.

[hidden dune]

procgen hexen hubs

[hardy mural]

will AE contain vegemite?

[tacit quartz]

haha

salty

[hardy mural]

with vitamin b12

[rotund bloom]

Wait a second. I'm watching a bunch of gameplay vids right now. Are those weapons seriously sprites? Dave ain't foolin?

[proper oxide]

yeah they sprites

[night ginkgo]

indeed they are sprites

[patent thicket]

Really? For true? Gee mister...

[hardy mural]

gee wiz

[tropic patio]

wau

[rotund bloom]

Ya looks ridiculously good. The fact that colored lighting is effecting the sprites so naturally is sweet.

[dire briar]

IEIW0-WR3B6-DRZ9Y

WOAH WUT DIS

Also I wouldnt say AE levels are maze like at all

you wont get lost

getting lost is bad

but ver big and open with secrets and shit

nice loops

good flow

many enemies

[tulip sinew]

got it

[tacit quartz]

exploration is good

you want to find the secrets

you will get lost

[tulip sinew]

Thanks

[rotund bloom]

Lol that's what I get for having my eyes glued to gameplay videos

[tacit quartz]

it's like getting lost in a corn maze

haha

[rotund bloom]

Ya, but in Dusk the key was to just jump over the entire corn maze

[hidden dune]

Dave's giving away so many keys at this rate that only 5 people are going to buy the finished game at full-price

[dire briar]

GOOD

WE CAN GO BROKE

I CAN LEAVE THIS LIFE BEHIND

[tropic patio]

😭

have fun kay

dang right when i walk away to clean doggo's cut toe

[hidden dune]

Don't worry Green Mario

20.00 USD = 29.23 NZD

You'll be helping Leon out

[robust portal]

Do we need to unwishlist it if it's already on our wishlist

[tropic patio]

na

[latent pagoda]

righteous i hope i win (I'm probably not going to but it's worth a shot to play the game)

[night ginkgo]

you never know m8

[tropic patio]

thanks to whomstever did 1 on my link

[rotund bloom]

👌

[dire briar]

ill re pin and stuff when I tweet

lurkers get first dibssss

[rapid tulip]

so the level design will be like Rott 2013 for the searching keys stuff? (not so mazed)

it should be enough i suppose

i like mazes because fps are not only "shooting everywhere for me" in straight maps, you have to think with your brain too :)

like in doom2

or blood :)

[tropic patio]

it'll prolly b equal if you don't give one away before twittering it

[hidden dune]

It's going to be like Heretic

As in, a whole bunch of boring, non-descript, symmetrical layouts

[robust portal]

9 entries :)

[rotund bloom]

Some folks here suggested some gameplay of the first couple levels on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rozsO71Siko

[tropic patio]

https://wn.nr/vgw4sX

[robust portal]

Hopefully my shit friends click the link

[rapid tulip]

you mean, it could be at least like heretic level design maze?

[night ginkgo]

so the level design will be like Rott 2013 for the searching keys stuff? (not so mazed)

not really

[rapid tulip]

ah

?

[night ginkgo]

there are keys but not every level uses them

and there's little to no backtracking

some levels have multiple paths though

AE has a lot of variety like that

[rapid tulip]

oki

[hidden dune]

What he meant was

Will AE have tons of obnoxious platforming with terrible controls?

[tropic patio]

hmm

[rotund bloom]

Man, first person platforming gets too bad of a rap.

[hidden dune]

^someone who has never played ROTT2013

[rapid tulip]

:)

ROTT2013 is very good for the platforming stuff

just people are too noob to handle it

[rotund bloom]

Those bouncy pads don't count

[rapid tulip]

:D

[dire briar]

I VOTED TO GET RID OF IT

LEON KEPT IT

REEEEEEEE

[night ginkgo]

No

[dire briar]

FUKIN E2M2 LAVA JUMPS

[pseudo moss]

platforming make me ANGERY

[dire briar]

YOU MADE IT HARDER

HARDERRRRRRRRR

[night ginkgo]

I re did the level remember

Easier

[dire briar]

YEAH AND IT GOT HARDER lol

[night ginkgo]

Dave

[rapid tulip]

platforming give feel about stress and all, and it's fun, it's not just easy stuff

[dire briar]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[tropic patio]

DAVE

[dire briar]

IM PICKLE REEEEEEEEEEEE

[night ginkgo]

It was wayyyyy harder originally

[dire briar]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[night ginkgo]

Reeeeeeeeeeeee

[hidden dune]

I love tapping a direction in midair for one millisecond to suddenly go flying across the room into a pit

[tropic patio]

mario is the best first person

[rotund bloom]

You just need a game that does it right. SEUM:Speedrunners From Hell was bliss dammit.

[hidden dune]

When are we going to get the pretentious post-nuclear war walking sim called "Last Person Shooter"?

[dire briar]

wow thats a good idea

[tropic patio]

clustertruck is all about platforming

[dire briar]

stealing that

[rapid tulip]

need more straight map like call of duty SP, like that, no difficulty, just fun shooting :D

[tropic patio]

lol

[night ginkgo]

I still have those old builds btw, I can show you guys how ridiculous it was sometime

[rotund bloom]

At the end of the game you shoot yourself after finding nobody for 12 hours of gameplay.

[hidden dune]

Dave I stole that from the Schwartzenegger movie "Last Action Hero" fyi

[dire briar]

I have ROTT builds somewhere when the MP was balanced

[tropic patio]

omg leon you should have a beta build you could access through steam that is a super early version

[void horizon]

got through that part of e2m2 in one try last time I played

[night ginkgo]

of ae? or rott?

[void horizon]

rott

[rapid tulip]

ROTT 2013 mp shoudl be have been fun for people who played it....i tried it too lately i suppose :(

[night ginkgo]

I meant @mario sorry lol

[void horizon]

isn't actually too hard if you just think about your juimos

*jumps

[hidden dune]

juimos anomaly

[tropic patio]

ae

[void horizon]

still admittedly one of the worst bits of the game but ehh... it's not THAT bad

[hidden dune]

Why the fuck do FPS games even have a jump button if there's no platforming? Doom or bust, people

[night ginkgo]

do alpha builds of ae even exist?

yes

[tropic patio]

well when full thing releases

[dire briar]

oh god

[tropic patio]

wow

[dire briar]

5/7

[rotund bloom]

You don't need platforming to want to jump across a gap! Jumping in Doom is sacrilege though.

[hidden dune]

Is that the mythical "no normalmaps" build I've been pondering about for so long?

[night ginkgo]

no, there's normals

just bad lighting

[rapid tulip]

Quake was fun for it

Q1

remove the jump of Q1 :D

[rotund bloom]

disgusting

[rapid tulip]

and jump can make you able to dodge even if it can be not easy

projectiles*

doom didnt have jumping because the engine was limited

same with the horizontal aim

they couldnt add it at this time :)

i think

[night ginkgo]

lol wat of course it had horizontal

and vertical

[rotund bloom]

No you could only look up and down

[rapid tulip]

in 93??

[hidden dune]

Everybody knows Brutal Doom introduced jumping into Doom

[rotund bloom]

Didnt you play it?

"my teeth are gleaming"

[lone hatch]

How do I get them to stop gleaming I don't like it

Its frightening

[dire briar]

im gonna add ONE MORE BUTTON to the gleam heuheueuh

[lilac pebble]

https://wn.nr/kh84WX

[quick aurora]

Our daddy told us not to be ashamed of our links

[night ginkgo]

simmo is one of the OLD GODS don't piss him off

or he'll delete you

[robust portal]

So are we all shamelessly plugging our contest links here then?

[tropic patio]

yes

[cinder mist]

yeah im like 30

[tropic patio]

even thoiugh we already entered

[cinder mist]

you better watch out

[robust portal]

I mean fuck it

We can all give each other an entry

That'll show the non-discord fuckos

Who do they think they are having a life

[quick aurora]

Counterintuitively, sharing the link for extra entries lowers your overall chance of winning

[tropic patio]

yes

[quick aurora]

If you share it with people who haven't already entered

[tropic patio]

you get 1 more entry, someone else gets like 9

[lone hatch]

oh my god

[dire briar]

ADDED A NEW BUTTON TO THE GLEAM UHEUHEUHE

That's cheating though

[robust portal]

Nice guys finish last

[night ginkgo]

you have to do that as well

[glossy root]

[dire briar]

NO SKIPPING

[robust portal]

Did you fix it?

[lilac pebble]

hey hey hey hey, I get an extra 2 entries everyday

[dire briar]

^^

[tropic patio]

[dire briar]

Giveaways are good for two things

Capturing consumer information

and uhh

[tropic patio]

huehue

[dire briar]

getting more social media followers

[fathom swan]

why snoop dogG?

[dire briar]

idk was Leons idea

[tropic patio]

good idea

[dire briar]

I just kinda ran with it

[lilac pebble]

Why not?

[night ginkgo]

yeah blame me

[dire briar]

he said CAN WE ADD A SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY BUTTON

and I said

[tall arrow]

Jokes on you I was already following everything

[dire briar]

WELL ACTUALLY

[dark tusk]

you've been blamed

[robust portal]

Because New Blood is hip and with it ™

[night ginkgo]

hey you can get an extra entry now

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tropic patio]

™

[dire briar]

I need to find how to actually hook gleam into the mailing list and steam page

MUST CAPTURE USERS

[lilac pebble]

yea, the gleam thing took like 2 minutes cause I already did most of the stuff on the list

[dire briar]

USER ACQUISITION BEEP BOOP

blessd @ebon sage who will have to put all the emails into the database

[crystal spruce]

literally who

[dire briar]

Kate

[crude echo]

memes

[dire briar]

Zags gf and New Blood chursisstant person

[rotund bloom]

I've been told by my dad uh...Dr.Harvard B. School that you can get really good consumer buying habits information by putting your product on sale immediately.

[dire briar]

also does voices in Spacemen

[night ginkgo]

so this is what it's like to be famous 🤔

[dire briar]

actually we don't plan on putting our stuff on sale ever

unless it makes sense

racing to the bottom is bad

id rather just keep making our games worth the price by adding content

[rotund bloom]

Sale in the purchasable sense I ain't devaluing indies here.

[dire briar]

Yeah leon you might actually have to tweet now

oh you mean

ON SALE

to buy

[rotund bloom]

^^^^

[night ginkgo]

it's too much for me, I'm going to start mainlining heroin

[dire briar]

I mean we could literally put AE in early access it has two episodes and like 3 hours of content already and is super polished

AE EA

omg

AE IN EA

[tropic patio]

sale?

[dire briar]

WUHHHHHHHHH

[tropic patio]

like you wouldn't mark down price for summer sales?

[dire briar]

yeah not planning on it

[tropic patio]

oof

[dark tusk]

$20 is already cheap

[tropic patio]

true

[dark tusk]

never give up

[dire briar]

Rami started doing that with Nuclear Throne

[dark tusk]

[night ginkgo]

we should do it 1c off

[dire briar]

the data shows as long as you tell people it's not going on sale

[dark tusk]

nuclear throne actually went UP in price after EA

[dire briar]

they don't wait

[rotund bloom]

Hey, Witness sold like a gorillion copies at 40 dollars, these can do well at 20.

[dark tusk]

by one dollar

[dire briar]

they wait if they think it'll go on sale eventually

[night ginkgo]

goriliion lol

[dire briar]

but if we say HEY THIS IS NEVER GOING ON SALE

[rotund bloom]

It's the biggest number I kow

[dire briar]

people will pay the price if they want it

See also: Factorio

[tropic patio]

pubg?

[dire briar]

Factorio $20 forever

[lilac pebble]

Could give like 50 keys to humble bundle to sell for like 25 bucks a pop and give 90% of the proceeds to charity and the other 10% to your local weed dealer because hey hey hey hey you smoke weed everyday

[dire briar]

PUBG doesnt count that game is a cultural phenomenon

[tropic patio]

that's why i never bought factorio- it never went on sale...

[dire briar]

I bought it cuz it was $20.00

I was intrigued

See also: DUSK

huehuehuehe

[tropic patio]

i was also intrigued

[night ginkgo]

you can buy them at a discount if you come visit me in NZ

[tropic patio]

lol

[dire briar]

I mean we'll see

if the games don't sell well in the first few months we'll prob discount

but not super heavily

I remember back in 2013

like fukin

ROTT was $15

then like 3 months later it was $4

[tropic patio]

woah

[rotund bloom]

Was kinda peeved by that tbh

In a selfish way

[dire briar]

If it was $20 and we didn't start discounting til like 2014 we could have made a lot more money and prob develoiped it more idk

I mean back thern it was such a race to the bottom for sales

Valve put us in a flash sale during the winter sale

so we said fuck it and made the game like 75% off

and we sold 40k copies in 8 hours

it was nuts

[tropic patio]

woah

[dire briar]

but they dont do that anymore

[crude echo]

40k?

[dire briar]

steam sales have changed

it's better overall but I sure do miss the daily deals and stuff

was more fun

[crude echo]

no fun in business

[night ginkgo]

do they not do daily deals anymore?

[rotund bloom]

I appreciate not having to check every 8 hours

[wheat yarrow]

Sales FELT like a big deal then

[dire briar]

they do but I mean during the sales

flash sales

[tropic patio]

same spore

[dire briar]

and community vote sales

and stuff

[wheat yarrow]

now it's a bit less like that but still a way better deal than most others

[tropic patio]

maybe they don't feel big anymore since we already have all of em heh

[rotund bloom]

Or heavens wait till the end of the sale to make my purchases when I could just be playing during my vacation from work

[dire briar]

I hit that page every day

[hidden dune]

Tonight is the most AE activity I've seen ever btw

[dire briar]

well yeah FREE KEYS

[hidden dune]

tomorrow it'll just be three shitposts and a leonpost

[tropic patio]

[tropic patio]

lol

[night ginkgo]

ha

[rotund bloom]

I just wanted to know if AE was like Quake or like Hexen or something else but then McMahon started dropping keys

[night ginkgo]

it's like AE

[rotund bloom]

oooooo

[night ginkgo]

but yeah gameplay is more like quake

[rotund bloom]

I'm not good with After Effects

[fierce nymph]

Keys? Keys? Did i miss something while i was playing Bayonetta?

[tropic patio]

yes

giveaway is up

and he dropped 2 keys

check pinned messages

[dire briar]

AE feels like

Hexen 2

but without like all the interconnected hub city bullshit

[night ginkgo]

somewhat

[dire briar]

and no inventory

[night ginkgo]

it's not as floaty either

[rotund bloom]

That was one of the games I asked about ya.

[dire briar]

AE feels WEIGHTY

CHUNKY

[night ginkgo]

visually it's got some similarites

[dire briar]

LIKE A GOOD WOMAN

SIGRUN

AE IS LIKE SIGRUN

[rotund bloom]

Insecure?

[dire briar]

THICCC AND NOT A NAZI

[lone hatch]

Am I the only one who clapped when she slapped the fuck out of Grace

[dire briar]

yeah but then iut got dumb cuz she like professed her lvoe for bombata

that was cringe

[lone hatch]

Yeah

it was

[dire briar]

I was like YEAH U GO GURL

then she went and did that

and I was like

[rotund bloom]

The one time in media where slapping a minority signalled you were no longer a nazi

[dire briar]

OH HONEY WHAT IS U DOIN

[rotund bloom]

Perfectly done

[high crest]

😂

[dire briar]

however her and bombata in the submarine

A+ video games

"Did you need this boat?"

[tropic patio]

is AE supposed to be using 100% of my GPU in the menus

[rotund bloom]

Vsync-off life.

[dire briar]

uhhh

[tropic patio]

i have a GTX 970

[hidden dune]

@tropic patio They got the complaints from the Steam forums https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/937457887084920832

DuskWorld Dave (@DaveOshry)

This guy was upset that he wasn't getting 700+ FPS in @DUSKdev

fucking

do you know

soneone from Sony

at PSX brought that up to me

last night

at the bar

I was fucking LOL

also Sony reads my tweets TIL

[tropic patio]

woah

[rotund bloom]

Sony seems passionate about getting a piece of indie pie from everybody they can.

[fierce nymph]

Ughh, my poor 660 TI is going to melt. Thought about upgrading, but it ran every single game from 2017 perfectly. I just need a decent GPU with the rest of my setup

[hidden dune]

Spoiler alert: all they get is the walking sims and Nintendo reigns supreme with the waifu metroidvania titles

[dire briar]

I played Detroit

it was pretty goosd

already better than heravy Rain /10

[fierce nymph]

Damn, haven't played Heavy Rain yet

[rotund bloom]

Can you yell for your boys?

[fierce nymph]

Of all the titles

[lone hatch]

I usually find David Cage games unintentionally funny

[hidden dune]

David... 🙂

https://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/comments/7gbk7k/what_are_your_favourite_walking_simulator_games/

[dire briar]

Detroit was hella tense

[fierce nymph]

The last thing i bought for PS3 were Initial D and Persona 5

[dire briar]

but also it's a slice of a game

super polished

who knows if the whole game will be good

[dire briar]

I think David Szymanski is a bacon

need to make a game called MAKIN BACON

and u just wake up and goto the kitchen

and make bacon

[rotund bloom]

A Cage style game SHOULD be super polished. It's the benefit of a game that handles gameplay that way

[dire briar]

every day

until thegame ends

[lilac pebble]

pc mustard race!

[hidden dune]

I looked up PC Detroit and this was the first result https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GFglVKSQ-Q8/hqdefault.jpg

???

[tropic patio]

lol

[dark granite]

woah what

[crude echo]

Chasing Bacon, staring Jason Statham

[rotund bloom]

Actual AE q

Will the game have demo recording?

I don't know if UE can do input recording like the old days

[proper oxide]

I mean, theres plenty of other recording software that works ezpz

just use that

[hidden dune]

But how will I submit my epic speedrun to speeddemosarchive???

[rotund bloom]

I guess the need has been displaced with modern cheap screen recording, but it was nice being able to have all of your game runs in a megabyte

[hidden dune]

Yeah, how am I going to submit demos of hackers in multiplayer to the server admins who are never online?

[gentle zealot]

you won't cos AE won't have MP beyond coop 👉🏻 😎 👉🏻

[hidden dune]

uh HELLO

coop speedruns on the leaderboards

[gentle zealot]

you said hackers in multiplayer, nerd

[hidden dune]

You replied to an unfunny post from 11 minutes ago

[misty owl]

Well at least you know you aren't funny

[gentle zealot]

rekt

[hidden dune]

A good quality more people need

[dire briar]

I doubt we'll have demo recording

with all the ez recording software these days

[crystal spruce]

how about FUN

JERK

[hidden dune]

I got a fortune cookie the other day that said "you know you're finally grown up when you learn to laugh - at yourself"

[dire briar]

[quick aurora]

When ever Dave says something that sounds marginally like gibberish, I assume it's a hidden key

[tulip sinew]

it was worth the attempt

[tropic patio]

Me too lurker

[crystal spruce]

"Refer friends for extra entries"

Well shit

[devout olive]

those kinds of things are tricks

because they just get more people to enter which means it'd actually decrease your chance

[crystal spruce]

i do it anyway :(

[lilac pebble]

Came back to the game and looked for the evil difficulty

its difficult

These guys give no fucks on evil difficulty

[tribal pivot]
