"you could give us the oldest available one you have. in like i dunno."

#

ftfy

#

oooooooh

#

i want that build

crystal spruce
#

Big John now knows the error of Big John's ways.

#

Will change.

night ginkgo
#

that's the earliest one I have

#

when you shot purple triangles and such

#

it's super boring

crystal spruce
#

nice!

#

that's really cool!

night ginkgo
#

that's the original gateway

crystal spruce
#

Oh man

devout olive
crystal spruce
#

I wanna play

versed violet
#

Look at dem duplicated spheres

crystal spruce
#

When i first saw videos of amid evil i thought all the pickups and stuff were 3D models. But now that i own the game now i see they are actually pre-rendered sprites.

#

Nice touch there guys.

#

Time to make a Hexen Sprite wad!

night ginkgo
#

heh

dark granite
#

they WERE 3d models

#

i miss those : ' (

crystal spruce
#

Sprites are better for performance.

dark granite
#

thats not necessarily true these days

#

hardware has gotten VERY good at 3d maths

crystal spruce
#

Well at least it doesn't run like complete shit on my potato.

cursive kestrel
#

2D these days is just orthographic 3D

#

The sprites are just flat 3d models

dark granite
#

true

crystal spruce
#

although the game does run a little bit slow. Might need to change the config.

night ginkgo
#

what's your PC specs

crystal spruce
#

Well its a acer aspire e15 start but it was originally the 4gb ram version. But i did upgrade it to 8gb of ram. although that didn't help that much.

#

I'm piss poor.

night ginkgo
#

the fact it even works on that computer is pretty impressive

crystal spruce
#

lol ik

night ginkgo
#

i3, intel 4400 graphics, I mean, that's pretty neat

#

resolution scaling will be the biggest help for those specs

crystal spruce
#

yeah. still sorta goes eh on the lowest res.

#

the sound skips a bit.

#

Well yknow i've grown up never really being able to play games at a smooth 60fps. unless it's doom.

night ginkgo
#

I'd put the game on low settings as well

crystal spruce
#

It is on low.

#

I always put my games on low.

night ginkgo
#

cool

dark tusk
#

lower the game to your level

versed violet
#

Was playing in the labs at uni and its just wonderful on a giant monitor

crystal spruce
#

My computer can't even run source games that well.

#

It's seriously pathetic. although i was amazed that amid evil can run as well as dusk.

marsh star
#

depends on the source game

#

TF2 runs like panicking drunk

#

huh

#

just got rat

#

cool

crystal spruce
#

I have to run tf2 through dx8 for it to run well.

#

even then it's still slow.

#

although the original orange box version runs really nice.

marsh star
#

wekk TF2 is a tower of ducttape on a foundation thats pretty ok

#

all the post launch code is spagetified

crystal spruce
#

I want the weapon sprites from AE.

#

Gonna figure out how to extract them.

#

then lower the res and put em' in hexen

marsh star
#

google is your friend

versed violet
#

I want the sound files. That pickup laugh makes me moist

cursive kestrel
#

it'd take a bit more than simply ripping the sprites

marsh star
#

but best to avoid talks of rips

cursive kestrel
#

you would need to render them with some static lighting

#

THEN downscale

#

and then on top you couldn't really share it

crystal spruce
#

I'm not gonna screenshot rip.

marsh star
#

wait what does AE do with its sprites again?

cursive kestrel
#

I didn't mean screenshot rips

crystal spruce
#

oh

cursive kestrel
#

I meant the actual images

queen leaf
#

Look fucking awesome?

dark tusk
marsh star
#

spritifiying weapons would be so easy if there was a single green screen room in each and everygame

crystal spruce
#

damn

#

well i looked in the files and it seems unreal is just as closed source as unity.

cursive kestrel
#

The data files are stored in a proprietary binary format, yes

crystal spruce
#

shit

#

Well i guess shitty screenshot rips will have to do.

versed violet
#

Learn dev skills. Suck up to dave simmo and leon. Become dev. Gain access to files. Long term goals dude

crystal spruce
#

But i'm lazy

#

well..

#

not really

#

cinder mist

night ginkgo

quasi pier

night ginkgo

quasi pier

crystal spruce

quasi pier

crystal spruce
#

night ginkgo
#

crystal spruce
#

night ginkgo
#

crystal spruce
#

night ginkgo
#

we need to make sure it's really good

quasi pier
#

thats ok,take Your time and make the best game!

night ginkgo
#

thanks m8

cinder mist
crystal spruce
#

ask for keys and you get the axe

cinder mist
#

cheers zaratul 😄

#

seeing AE weapons in the doom engine WOULD be cool as fuck

night ginkgo
#

defo

cinder mist
devout olive
#

aw did I miss dev talk

cinder mist
#

maybe its just beginning

night ginkgo
#

Something something 2 dimensional arrays

cinder mist
#

oldest screenshot i have in the saved folder

night ginkgo
#

Something something evil

#

Oh yeah still have that map

cinder mist
#

i've shared the first ones though

#

like, from the first day

#

with test wand

#

placeholder staff

#

haha planet launcher blockout

devout olive
#

oooooo

#

and is that filtering I see on those textures

cinder mist
#

nope, we've never had filtering turned on, haha

devout olive
#

except that time where you did

quasi pier
#

few weeks ago i starter filtering discussion,devs make screenshot with filtering enabled

cinder mist
#

oh shit you're right

devout olive
quasi pier
#

filtering on thats screen dosnt look that bad

#

IMO

devout olive
#

it looks very

#

odd

quasi pier
#

maybe an option in distant future?

cinder mist
#

mmmmaybe but probably not

versed violet
#

Clown vomæt

night ginkgo
#

Nah he doesn't do filtering for all textures, it's individual

#

So the whole game would need to be recooked to do a different type of filtering

quasi pier
#

oh so its not like GZdoom,you cant toggle filtering on the fly

night ginkgo
#

No, otherwise we would have made it an option for sure

warped totem
#

it all makes sense now why AE is not ready yet, mods hate the word DA🅱 so it will be a feature in AE

dark granite
#

he figured it out

warped totem
#

you gain health my dabbing

craggy cypress
#

Sinner go take your D## elsewhere

potent patio
#

game is looking great

plucky isle
#

really

#

delet this

crystal spruce
#

no

#

we must protect the shillboi

plucky isle
#

Amid Evil definitely needs some Shillbot easter egg

potent patio
#

need to reward him for all his hardwork

plucky isle
#

Yeah by killing him in-game lol

#

chopping his head off

#

sucking him into black hole

#

electrocuting with the 4th weapon

#

blowing him up with the planet launcher

#

I'm such a nice guy.

No. They said MAYBE next week

#

wooden aurora
#

wheat yarrow
#

That art is super sweet

hidden dune
cursive kestrel
#

Nah, Apocryph has a really bad "uncanny valley" effect with its visuals

#

Some stuff looks too wet/shiny, somethings look too smooth or matte, etc

#

AE is a lot more visually consistent there, imo

hidden dune
wooden aurora
#

It looks like "unity"

cursive kestrel
#

jade marsh
#

Hey at least you can play Apocryph. soon

#

Ok lemme just get my time machine out the basement

#

Crystal mace is level 3 yeah?

dark granite
#

NAH IT SUCKS IN GAME DONT LISTEN

#

(that is my favorite moment in the game so far)

#

(because it makes me feel like im playing hexen 2 again)

night ginkgo
#

Yeah crystal mace hidden in 3rd level

plucky isle
#

Mace is awesome maan

#

PIN 'EM ALL

devout olive
#

it's my favourite weapon tbh

queen leaf
#

It pins? Rad.

plucky isle
#

my fav is also The Whisper's Edge with soul mode engaged

devout olive
#

NOBITSURA KAGEEEEEEEEEE

plucky isle
#

Lol yeah

#

actually I did not even think about its soul mode behaved JUST like Nobitsura

devout olive
#

if ae could be modded I would love to make a mod that reskins it to be the nobitsura

plucky isle
#

it can't be modded

#

but it can be cancelled

#

oh wait...

#

Already done.

devout olive
#

ay simmo can you just make me a super secret build that turns whisper's edge into the nobitsura kage? thx

vocal ingot
#

Honestly, soul mode whisper's edge is neat and all, but it's hard to beat the fecking laser beam the trident turns into for me

plucky isle
#

YEAH

#

BLYAT BEAM or whaterver Dave and Leon called it

night ginkgo
#

Soul mode is just good fun in general

#

As it should be

proper oxide
#

The axe soul mode is still the best

vocal ingot
#

Who wants fun in their videogames

#

honestly

night ginkgo
#

Azure orb is underrated

#

You can flim flam the Jim jams with it

versed violet
#

Havent tried soul mode planet launcher yet

vocal ingot
#

the planet launcher's soul mode feels less like just a massive powerup, like the others, and more of a switch in how you use it

night ginkgo
#

It's a super Nova

vocal ingot
#

changing it from just a quake sort of rocket launcher you hit enemies with to the massive wide room clear rocket launcher other games might have

night ginkgo
#

It's getting yelled a bit

#

Lel auto correct

vocal ingot
#

Oh, yeah, it is still a massive powerup, 'just' was the operative word there

night ginkgo
#

*tweaked

#

Yeah it's a big aoe

#

A lot of fun

crystal spruce
#

I need some more amid evil sprites.

#

To those who've been lucky enough to play Amid Evil, what do you play when you get a key for it? Like is it only the first episode?

proper oxide
#

First Episode, yeah

#

about 2-3 hours of gameplay depending on how you play

crystal spruce
#

Dope. I've been dying to play it, but Im never fast enough when the keys are dropped

proper oxide
#

dont worry

#

we'll have big news very very soon

crystal spruce
#

Awesome. I saw on twitter that it'll have an endless mode. That should be balls to wall fun

proper oxide
#

yeah Endless is super super fun

#

when AE goes EA youll have a lot of stuff to play around with

crystal spruce
#

Sick, I can't wait. Been itching for a new game to play

jade marsh
#

Don't let them fool you

#

The big news it that AE is cancel

proper oxide
#

cant spell Cancel without AE

cursive kestrel
#

can't write learn colour theory without AE

#

#

#

hey

#

is amid evil a pc exclusive or will it come to consoles as well?

devout pulsar
#

Still have money in my Steam wallet for Amid Evil. Almost spent it yesterday... but... I resisted.

devout jackal
#

Fight the evil corrupting your mind.

crystal spruce
#

I was (am) in the same boat; kept 20 bucks in the backpocket for AMID EVIL, was tempted to get Ion Maiden instead; but I too resisted 👌

devout pulsar
#

Oh I did. I just used additional funds and bought Ion Maiden through that instead. Monies still in my wallet for Amid Evil.

crystal spruce
#

I guess I will push one of the planned games to buy this month to next month, so I´ll get both of them as well

devout jackal
#

Could always get a key from movie night or randoms :)

crystal spruce
#

nah, even though I was/am mostly quiet here, I´m not here for a key, but news about DUSK/AMID EVIL in general; of course I wouldn´t say no if the chance would come

frank ivy
#

aight I finally saw some of the game and I just wanted to ask
does anyone else think the graphics are, like really saturated or something like that

#

especially the water is extra blue
and when everything is equally colorful it all kinda blends together
at least for me

devout pulsar
#

@devout jackal I would love to get a key from movie night or something. But, I'm normally at work when these events happen. 😁

hollow pine
#

I don't see any rules against mentioning other relevant other games (as long as it's not personal shilling, which this isn't) So I hope the developers don't mind me suggesting something to check out while we wait for Amid Evil.... Ion Maiden hit steam early access today.. it's made in the Build Engine (Duke 3D engine) and it's pretty darn cool. People waiting for this game might like it, so I hope that's relevant enough.

#

If that wasn't okay, feel free to delete.

night ginkgo
#

Yeah it's been posted quite a lot on these channels

#

also fun fact: I was working on it right at the start. I was gonna be a producer, but it never happened

#

(I used to work for interceptor)

hollow pine
#

Oh, cool

hidden dune
#

@frank ivy UE4 has some quirks when it comes to post-processing. It makes colors a bit oversaturated and darkens the black areas to Doom 3-levels of darkness. If you shut off the post-processing, the colors become more muted and the shadows become a little gray. There's no real middle ground from what I've tried.

patent thicket
#

AMID EVIL looks incredible folks. Videos don't do it justice. Wait till you see it in person. You're gonna fart a big hot wet one. And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD leave anti-aliasing OFF. Get it straight crispy on them peepers.

#

hey, so dave invited me to the discord and gave me a key for the game after I criticized the use of color (that was really sweet of him and again, didn't want to come across as an ass); I don't pretend to be any kind of authority on level design, but I can provide in-depth critique in that department if you want, especially since pre-2000 level design is my specialty. if you follow the quake and thief scene you may know me, if not I'm a level designer who's been making maps for 15+ years for a ton of games, and I've worked in a professional manner on the funky EYE divine cybermancy (with maps I'm not super proud of in hindsight, but hey)

thanks, it was a nice experience working on that game overall

proper oxide
#

One of those games that I don't think I'll ever fully understand

south shuttle
#

if this can be of any consolation, we don't either

patent thicket
#

I really wish EYE wasn't stuck on a version of Source that has that weird stutter issue. The one that was fixed after a bunch of CSS players lost their minds about it. Ah well...

void horizon
#

the fact that EYE is a chaotic over-ambitious mess is what makes it amazing.

#

also I don't understand it either :)

proper oxide

The translation makes it even better

Expecting at least a secret door to open if I spent to time to destroy them all

versed violet
#

Did you destroy ALL the decorations?

vernal spire
#

Oh shit

versed violet
#

Might only apply to an actual level though

night ginkgo
#

nah you only get an award on levels, not in the hub

versed violet
#

N da cheevo

vernal spire
#

but the hub is the first thing I saw

versed violet
#

Its more of a foreshadow id say

vernal spire
#

I break a series of things and nothing happened, why would I break anything else beyond that?

versed violet
#

Tells you that stuff CAN be destroyrd

vernal spire
#

Sure, can be destroyed but no reason to do so

versed violet
#

I break everything cos its fun to break shit

dire briar
#

^^

void horizon
#

put soap in them

#

problem solved

vernal spire
#

Thank you David

dire briar
#

put memes in them

vernal spire
#

SOMETHING

void horizon
#

soap is memes

vernal spire
#

Dont care what it was...give me SOMETHING

night ginkgo
#

it gives you disappointment which is technically something

cinder mist
#

a life lesson

vernal spire
#

Thats true

#

that makes the game deeper than anyone ever imagined

versed violet
#

AE and new blood is all about disappointment

cinder mist
#

it posts to social media every time you break something that you broke something

vernal spire
#

Im glad @void horizon could just pop in with a soap comment

versed violet
#

CAN IT

#

PLEASE

cinder mist
#

lmao

versed violet

"Ben has broken a brazier"

HOW DARE YOU

#

vernal spire
#

Go rub your fingers on some strings

crystal spruce
#

When you get the key do you get the full game like with dusk?

fathom flame
#

I think this guy really thinks his remark would hold up production of a game

night ginkgo
#

Yes, you get the full game ala dusk.

south shuttle
#

I said this in jest

versed violet
#

COLOUR THEOREEEEEEE

crystal spruce
#

nice.

dire briar
#

thats @south shuttle lol

#

hes here now

versed violet
#

We welcome critics and ban our devs for not liking movies

south shuttle
#

FROM NOW ON I AM IN CHARGE

#

(the screenshot someone posted above had some nice orange tint btw, just want to say that)

versed violet
#

Thatd be the hub

vernal spire
#

That was me and it was pretty orange

devout jackal
#

contour lines

fathom flame
#

ah i c, but I wouldn't put it past some people to really think that. It's the internet, after all.

south shuttle
#

humour is often lost in written form, yeah

#

I made a map about a year ago that featured primarily orange lighting similar to the one in the hub screenshot, though the oranges were more muted to 'simulate' a dusty, sandy atmosphere (since it took place in a nondescript egypt-like environment, and there was an even more muted orange fog that bordered on light brown)

#

I'm interested in checking the hub out now

versed violet
#

Do you have access?

#

If not im sure theres a shit load of use screenshots people can post

south shuttle
#

dave gave me a key, so I believe I will have access to the testing branch

versed violet
#

Well the key is defs access to the game in its current state. I'm sure testing branch too

south shuttle
#

in any case I'm always happy to provide feedback, especially for games like these, and apart from some of the color usage I've seen I think the game looks cool and pretty fun (and I think heretic is criminally underrated, so it's always nice to see a similar game)

vernal spire
night ginkgo
#

have you found evil difficulty?

vernal spire
#

Is it orange?

night ginkgo
#

it's hidden

wooden aurora
#

look down

versed violet
#

I found it accidentally trying to get out of the map

wooden aurora
#

took me like 3 min to find it with Leon yelling HINT HINT lol

vernal spire
#

I guess my point was to maybe shift thecolors so each difficultly selection isn't the same tone

vocal ingot
#

It's hidden in a real neat way, not really where you're likely to find it too easily looking randomly but are fairly likely to find it if you're just screwing around in the difficulty selection

#

Also, that difficulty really doesn't fuck around but the game does shine in it

versed violet
#

In the trailer the trident was spinning and carving enemies and how do i do thay

#

That

#

Or was it the axe

buoyant phoenix
#

That's the axe

versed violet
#

Soul mode?

buoyant phoenix
#

soulmode

craggy cypress
#

evil difficulty is best difficulty

wooden aurora
#

if your not a nerd 😎

versed violet
#

I always play through first on easy 🤷

wooden aurora
#

😎

night ginkgo
#

to get to easy mode you literally only have to hit the W key

wooden aurora
#

lol

versed violet
#

Even selecting it is easy

vernal spire
#

Haven't had much time tonight to play a build but first thoughts are that feedback doesn't register...I hit an enemy and I don't really feel it...not much of an impact. They fall apart into a few pieces but I don't feel really strong or badass for doing so

devout jackal
#

One of my Doom maps has a conveyor belt that brings you to easy mode

versed violet
#

I love that the map layout of the hub does that

#

Also my favourite wall inscription is the one about sun worshippers thinking they're so great

#

Fuck you dark souls memers

devout jackal
#

X{

versed violet
#

Hahahahha

#

How many times did you edit that

devout jackal
#

Fuk

#

IDK like three

#

I'm on mobile

#

As usual

versed violet
#

Praise nothing

devout jackal
#

Harumph

night ginkgo
#

Fuck you dark souls memers

#

it's not a dark souls ref

#

the moon acolytes hate the solar ones

#

which appear in another ep.

vocal ingot
#

I dunno man, praise the sun is a pretty big meme, pretty sure nobody can ever have a sun worshiper in anything else ever again

versed violet
#

Everything is a dark souls ref. AE is the dark souls of retro styled fps

Just sent you dudes with AE a PM

Reminder: if you have access to AE and want to try the EA build PM me

dire briar
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

quasi pier
#

so my 1 episode pre alpha does not upgrade to ea automatically?

night ginkgo
#

it will when early access is actually out

#

this is for people that want to test it/sneak peek

vocal ingot
#

You know, I'm not quite sure how I only now realized that enemies die when the zapping animation plays on the trident, shooting them more is just to gib them

night ginkgo
#

heh yeah

#

it's actually inspired by UT99

#

the minigun has the same effect

vocal ingot
#

Yeah, but with this I can only think of their hearts exploding hard enough to gib them, which is far more rad

night ginkgo
#

ha

pseudo moss
#

been quite a while since i played AE and i forgot how fuckin good it looks. so crisp. the UI and font are also great

night ginkgo
#

👌

pseudo moss
#

also i really like that the difficulty select is sort of a test in of itself, cool idea

vocal ingot
#

I mean that's an old quake thing, but it always was a shame more games didn't do the same thing

pseudo moss
#

yeah, i remembered Quake having something similar but i can't think of anything else (especially recently) that's done it. it's neat

vocal ingot
#

Also: nothing like a bit of "dying on the back of a crushing block, as it moves away from you" jank

#

That said goddamn E2's music is something else

night ginkgo
#

lmao yeah that's on the list of stuff to fix, kinda low priority

vocal ingot
#

Oh, yeah, it's far from crippling

#

On the topic of ultimately inconsequential things though, I did notice one of the elevators in later E2M1 clipped into a light kind of awkwardly

night ginkgo
#

yeah PM me with things like that

vocal ingot
#

Aight

dire briar
#

yeah we're gonna releae some E2 music soon

difference in saturation?

proper oxide
cinder mist
#

whats up, you cool baby

proper oxide
frank ivy
#

@cinder mist yeah there was a discussion between me and Meat Games about how colorful the game is
he mentioned that the pax version was less vivid

cinder mist
#

huh

#

we haven't made any changes to the rendering since pax

frank ivy
#

but I don't really see it honestly
the graphics are just a tad bit too in-your-face imo

#

I see

cinder mist
#

if you set quality to low, the unreal filmic tonemapper is disabled

devout jackal
cinder mist
#

it washes out the image somewhat

frank ivy
#

oh good to know

vocal ingot
#

Man, the ep 2 and 3 bosses don't fuck around

#

It's nice to have an FPS with bosses that aren't braindead for once

potent patio

had no internet for 2 days is there keys still available?

crystal spruce
#

Ive been stalking this discord in the event of a key

magic panther

send me a key and I will paypal you a cool 15€

no need to give steam any money

and I want to play this

I'm starving for oldschool action

Where do I mail the money order

#

AE today or i should play new big Path if Exile patch?

plucky isle
#

SOOOOOOOOOO

#

N.

crystal spruce
#

Not soon enough. I'm so tempted to buy Ion Maiden but then I won't have money for AE

plucky isle
#

Ion Maiden is awesome

potent patio
#

so no keys idk what’s going on hehe

crystal spruce
#

Yeah I've heard great things about it. its taking all my strength not to buy it

plucky isle
#

The only issue for now is performance

crystal spruce
#

Really? On a build game?

plucky isle
#

Yeah could not believe it myself lol

crystal spruce
#

What are you using

plucky isle
#

Well a gaming laptop - it's not about fps drops

#

It is okay (60 frames), but the game feels laggy

#

idk how to describe it lol

crystal spruce
#

Huh. Disabled vsync?

plucky isle
#

Tried everything the devs proposed

#

btw i am not the only one

crystal spruce
#

That is odd

plucky isle
#

just take a look at the forums

#

yeah

#

VERY odd

vocal ingot
#

the performance thing is pretty common

crystal spruce
#

Hopefully they get it fixed up in time for the full release

vocal ingot
plucky isle
#

oh sorry

vocal ingot
#

it's fine

magic panther
#

Don't buy Ion Maiden it's only a 1hour demo

#

Let's wait for AMID EVIL

#

the real deal

proper oxide
#

IM is good

#

but yeah

#

wait until they got some substantial game chunks out

frosty drift
#

IM isn't bad but you should be aware that you're just getting the first episode (they do disclose this)

crystal spruce
#

Yeah I read that. Still very tempting

misty owl
magic panther
#

if AMID EVIL doesn't come out today I might buy call of duty instead and convert to that

misty owl
#

oh have fun then

frosty drift
#

if it's your thing i don't really have any negatives

#

just know that you're only getting a handful of levels and not all of the weapons

magic panther
#

I don't care. I want oldschool action

#

IM also was only an hour

#

and AMID EVIL will probably be longer

plucky isle
#

We do not know at all how long IM will be

frosty drift
#

the current build is around an hour

plucky isle
#

1,5 -2 hrs for me if doing 100%

magic panther
#

enough for me

#

just release it already

plucky isle
#

SOOON

frosty drift
jade marsh
#

Current build of AE is an hour?

crystal spruce
#

I heard it was around 2-3 depending on how you play

vocal ingot
#

I'd say more 3-ish, or probably a bit more. Without going too hard into searching for secrets that is.

frosty drift
#

nah IM is about an hour

#

AE is longer

crystal spruce
#

interstellar marines?

#

the FUCK is an im

#

Ion Maiden

#

New 3D realms game

frosty drift
crystal spruce
#

ohhh right ion maiden

potent patio
#

AE will 100% be worth the wait

#

not even tempted

crystal spruce
#

Oh I don't doubt it. Waiting just sucks

potent patio
#

yeah man i agree

#

so close now though

crystal spruce
#

Yup. Hopefully it comes out within the next 2 weeks because then I'll just play it for all of spring break

#

sounds good 😮

DAD?

plucky isle
#

jade marsh
#

Cool

#

I would have paid for an hour of AE

#

But 3 is better

crystal spruce
#

I'd pay for a slap in the face and 20 minutes of gameplay

dark granite
#

Yeah I mean, for the early access build it's a good chunk of content

#

Plus you get endless mode if you wanna kill forever

plucky isle
#

What if I wanna LIVE forever?

vocal ingot
#

surrounding yourself with badness might not be the path to eternal life

i want to be a independant man, who can make his own decisions

Hey

this is Amid Evil realm

#

No one gives a fork about one's independence 😛

#

FOLLOW THE PILGRIMS.

#

DO IT NOW.

warped totem
#

no, i will reason with other beings, i will make allies and we will achieve world peace, #NoKilling #WorldPeace #FreeToMakeYourOwnDecisions

plucky isle
#

Okay

#

then

#

You will not be blessed with the full version of Amid Evil.

warped totem
#

i know because its cancelled

plucky isle
#

If you follow the pilgrims the development will be resumed

versed violet
#

You'll receive Amid Allies. You're an npc in someone else's copy of AE and you have to watch as you die

plucky isle
#

lol

warped totem
#

at least i would get a copy WTF

versed violet
#

You're still paying for it

warped totem
#

i would pay 20 euros for it, and then sell it for 2 millions euros because i would be the only owner of the game WTF

dark granite
#

Dm me if you found the cool secret yet 😎

dark granite

#

And only now, after playing through it all, did I realize I was playing through on evil and not hard

dark granite
#

Lol

vocal ingot
#

I THOUGHT it was kinda hard for hard

gentle zealot
#

whoops

crystal spruce
#

is Evil very hard mode?

plucky isle
#

It is

lone hatch
#

Only if you suck 😏

plucky isle
#

Fuck.

crystal spruce
#

Oof

vocal ingot
#

Evil is like Quake's nightmare mode, hidden, real damn hard if you're not used to the enemy patterns, but ultimately playable and not a dumb meme mode

crystal spruce
#

Sounds dope

dark granite
#

Quakes nightmare is way easier

#

At least, to me

#

But a billion hours of quake will do that to ya

plucky isle
#

Quake's nightmare frustrates you by all those hitscan motherfuckers

vocal ingot
#

Eh, Quake's nightmare has some harsh damn resource management at times

#

but yeah

#

I think the big thing is how much quake people have played, and just how used to dodging ogre barrages we are

dark granite
#

I just played throught nightmare last week and didn't really post much challenge lol

#

And yeah that's definitely a big part

crystal spruce
dark granite
#

The only annoying thing is vores and shamblers

#

But they're pretty sparse

#

Oh also I don't save mid level in fpses lol

#

So that's a significant reason why I find ae harder

vocal ingot
#

oh, yeah, with the long ass levels

dark granite
#

Yep

#

Most quake levels are shorter on average

#

There's a few that are annoyingly long

wooden aurora

The boss battles were great, even if the 2nd was annoying. But the rest of it was solid.... and thats kinda it for me... I was hoping the later episodes would try to one up themselves but it kinda felt like just reskin and redo to me, I mean aside from the enemies. Which is fine but i was hoping for more.
