WARRIOR ! PREPARE THYSELF! THEY COME!

[potent patio]

monday will be the best day of the year so far, guaranteed

[devout olive]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

[plucky isle]

SON

[hoary garden]

I cant run it on my potato I need a NASA computer to run it

it wont work on my 3dfx Voodoo

😛

[finite shuttle]

might as well skip early access and just make us "Soon" for another 4 months

[plucky isle]

I can run it either at 30fps+FullHD or 60fps+720p, otherwise my CPU oveheats

[crystal spruce]

Hey guys! Super happy about the news, cant wait for monday

But i wanted to ask, what's the price point for Amid Evil? ^^

20 bucks again? :p

[night ginkgo]

20

yeah

[crystal spruce]

Awesooooome!

[proper oxide]

20 freedom bucks

[crystal spruce]

Thank you for making this game Leon you guys rooooooooock

❤

[proper oxide]

with according regional pricing

[night ginkgo]

[plucky isle]

Best 40$ spent this year: Dusk+Amid Evil

[proper oxide]

💸

[crystal spruce]

@plucky isle same

[plucky isle]

Ah

Ion Maiden too

[crystal spruce]

I like it.. but not as much as DUSK and Amid Evil, when i played it i kind of remembered preferring Quake's gameplay

Reason for the preference for DUSK and AE

[plucky isle]

I love all 3 of them: Dusk as Quake's successor, AE as Heretic-Hexen's son with Quake-styled movement (excl. bunnyhop) and IM as Duke3D+SW+Blood's child 😄

what a great year

[crystal spruce]

Fair!!

I agree though, i like it too

[devout olive]

best $0 I've ever spent, DUSK+AE

[plucky isle]

YOU GREEDY FUKC 😄

[crystal spruce]

WOOOW

[plucky isle]

Well actually I got AE for free too to be honest

[devout olive]

I have to keep buying nb games for friends instead because I get all the keys >_>

[night ginkgo]

do your friends like em?

[devout olive]

I bought one dusk and he gave it a positive review

so yeah

and I'll be gifting someone ae this christmas

bought someone sgs too but that was on sale

[plucky isle]

I've bought DUSK for a friend of mine, he still hasn't played it 😄

[devout olive]

think he got frustrated and quit that one 😆

[patent thicket]

A friend of mine bought DUSK and loves it. So I'm gonna gift that idiot AE and he better like it.

Been talking it up.

[versed violet]

Warriorrrrss come out to play-eee-ay

[patent thicket]

Everyone go ahead and get them expectations way way way up. AE will exceed them.

[plucky isle]

come out, come out... wherever you are...

[versed violet]

dave clinking bottles in the distance

[plucky isle]

lol

[jade marsh]

If Zack says that AE must suck

[night ginkgo]

excuse me

[craggy cypress]

@plucky isle same

[devout olive]

oof firing shots dillsta

[jade marsh]

Lol just messing around

[hidden dune]

Holy balls, Amid Evil is next Monday? I'd better take a break from my other game rn and get to betatesting so I can save Leon the embarassment of someone else finding his watermarked genitalia hidden within the game's files (next to some STALKER asset flips of course)

oh shit, NDAs, sorry

[proper oxide]

what

[devout olive]

what

[plucky isle]

wut

[lone hatch]

what

[proper oxide]

Also

This isn't a beta test really

[hidden dune]

yeah but tbf HDTF memes are on their way out

[dire briar]

https://www.destructoid.com/amid-evil-brings-heretic-vibes-to-steam-next-week-493067.phtml

[plucky isle]

NO GOOGLE CHROME IM NOT A FUCKIN ROBOT

👿

[jade marsh]

I beg to differ

That's something a robot would say

[hidden dune]

The publisher is repping both Dusk and Amid Evil, the latter of which is almost ready for release.

Is destructoid shit-talking Dusk's release schedule?

[versed violet]

Rip dusk

The time of amid evil is upon us

[hidden dune]

I'm gonna be sad when this Discord gets split up into the Dusk and Amid Evil camps

I'm just warning you people right now

there's already a rift between the two games growing

[jade marsh]

Why can't we just like both

[hidden dune]

@jade marsh I've had private discussions with the QA team

it's gonna be tough for most people

(when I say private I mean another server no one gives a shit about)

Basically, there's going to be people arguing whether one game has the better level design

[devout pulsar]

Hells yes. 😀

[hidden dune]

Like, I honestly loved E1 but I was surprised to hear a couple people hated E1

The later episodes are said to be better, though, but who knows?

[jade marsh]

Of AE?

[hidden dune]

Yes.

[jade marsh]

I guess it's just personal tastes

Personally I was never huge on Hexen/Heretic compared to Quake

Still think AE deserves a shot

[potent patio]

most will just enjoy both games, no fuss

[devout olive]

I love both

[jade marsh]

I'm just glad someone is doign something new

[hidden dune]

New

as in old?

not that it's bad or anything

what's old is new again, basically

[devout olive]

that's always kinda been the case

[potent patio]

too many new games carbon copies

[jade marsh]

Just saying indie game devs take risks

I love that it is becoming bigger

[hidden dune]

Ehh, there's indie safe bets too

[jade marsh]

There is a lot of trash on Steam

[potent patio]

same ^^

[jade marsh]

But there is also a lot of treasure

[hidden dune]

usually half the metroidvania platformers

and of course

survival games

[jade marsh]

People who put effort into their work and chill with the community are fucking awesome

[hidden dune]

Yeah, I must admit

[devout olive]

I remember when indie survival games were just becoming big and the whole draw was

"IT'S LIKE MINECRAFT BUT WITH GRAPHIX!!!!"

[hidden dune]

I don't always agree with New Blood's policies or opinions on things, but for an indie game company, they do some excellent PR work

[gentle zealot]

AE is minecraft with grayfixs

[devout olive]

dusk is cod with minecraft graphics

[hidden dune]

I want to remind everyone that I asked a question on some mech indie game forum about 3 or 4 months ago and I never got a reply

The sad thing is I've completely forgotten what that game is now

so

a little PR goes a long way

no serious, there are some developers who won't even take out the time to answer questions once a week, or even every 2 weeks. For me to post a leon meme and get a response in minutes just goes to show that more indie devs should be like New Blood

[tall temple]

❤

[jade marsh]

Yeah we just ask every day when the games coming out cause we love you guys

[hollow pine]

@jade marsh Monday.

[jade marsh]

Yeah I know

I meant in general

People have come in here every day asking

And/or joking

[hidden dune]

DAE AE?

[potent patio]

good to see ppl genuinely caring about a game

[jade marsh]

If only more people played Unfortunate Spacemen

[dark granite]

^

[jade marsh]

It's the red headed stepchild

[queen leaf]

Sweet got a day off when AE EA releases

[hidden dune]

@jade marsh nah, that's Super Galaxy Squadron

[hidden dune]

Question about the NDA: if it lifts when AE goes into EA (March 12th), does that mean I could record footage of the beta build and then post it on that date? I plan on doing more 100% evil runthroughs

[devout jackal]

Most of NBs titles are fairly niche, so while the communities will be small, they'll be loyal and committed. At least that's the idea.

[frosty drift]

@hidden dune correct. this is more of an embargo than an actual NDA. feel free to upload whatever footage you have once the EA launch happens

Yeah, I do really like it so far though, so far my favorite HeXen and Painkiller game. The art style is really neat and colorful too, though without TAA the game looks like it has a literal grain filter on it

[kind fulcrum]

[finite shuttle]

Also the sprites too, omg the sprites, it blows my mind how 3D it looks and how the lighting reflects off of them.

AMID EVIL OUT SOON™ (@DaveOshry)

Apparently @LeonZawada& @SimmoRance redid the lighting for AMID EVIL's ep 1 boss and now it looks like you fight him on stage during Michael Jackson's 1984 Moonwalker tour

Twitter

[finite shuttle]

oh fuck yeah

[night ginkgo]

SHAMONA

[dire briar]

Moon Boss

[night ginkgo]

HEHE

[carmine juniper]

ya, im looking forward to this

[dire briar]

HEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[vocal ingot]

b l u e

[finite shuttle]

it better scream "YOU'RE IGNORANT"

[versed violet]

Now make the boss moonwalk

[finite shuttle]

The song for the bossfight should be an orchestral version of Beat It at a slower tempo

alternatively i'll just pause, turn down in-game music, pop up YouTube and do it that way

[jade marsh]

Yeah I can't figure out if I want the TAA on or off

I like it off sorta more makes it look more gritty

[night ginkgo]

I personally prefer it off

[finite shuttle]

Perhaps I should try downscaling it from 1440p or something (provided I can even run that smoothly)

[vocal ingot]

Personally I love the ultra sharp look

Any form of AA just murders that

[versed violet]

I like it without the grit but you have to at least play one ep with it

[finite shuttle]

How long is each Episode btw? At least episode 1?

[vocal ingot]

3 fairly long levels, plus 1 boss level for each episode

Or, wait, I think I counted 4 levels + 1 in E3

I might be off on that

let me check

[finite shuttle]

That's fair then, first two levels took me about 25 min; provided they get harder and longer, 40-ish minutes sounds about right

[vocal ingot]

No I'm just going crazy or something, or they're big enough for me to mentally split one of the levels into two

There's 4 levels per episode

[lilac pebble]

gonna have to replay it......for like the 50th time

[jade marsh]

Yeah I think having it off makes it look more like software rendering

Which I like

[signal sinew]

wait what

early access?

[merry flame]

APPETITE IS THROUGHLY WETTED
I'm so glad I finally managed to grab a key; playing through normal was a blast and I wanna go and do the more difficult modes later on, looking for secrets and whatnot
I REALLY love the theming and the structure of levels so far, all those delicous lore panels mixed in with the desolate atmosphere is simply 👌 👌 👌 so many cool things that make it stand out from DUSK and other retro FPS revivals

[signal sinew]

you mean

anyone can play it?

[night ginkgo]

yeah MONDAY

$20

3/7 eps + horde mode

[signal sinew]

I'm in

[jade marsh]

Ok planet launcher is sick

[signal sinew]

sun launcher is even better

[merry flame]

all those people who watched vids and said the combat looked bad really need to try it out for themselves because IT IS SLICK

earth launcher pls

[jade marsh]

Oh yeah

I forgot there's a password for the EA branch right?

[finite shuttle]

Is there? Am I not allowed to touch E2 and E3 yet?

[versed violet]

Pretty sure its still locked to the branch yeah

[jade marsh]

Yeah it's still a separate build with password

[finite shuttle]

cri

[versed violet]

Message leon

[finite shuttle]

ehh it's probably too close to release for him to go through the effort

[jade marsh]

I mean

I doubt he minds

Even if it was posted here it's not like anyone could use it except the people who have it

[finite shuttle]

Aren't they under NDA though?

[jade marsh]

Yeah

[versed violet]

Embargo nda

[jade marsh]

You can't post about anything past Ep1

If you do then Dave fucks your mom supposedly

[versed violet]

I'd still message him. He'll just copy paste the instructions for you

If he thinks you're worthy anyway

[jade marsh]

I messaged him

I'll see if I'm worthy

[finite shuttle]

hmm mebe i will, or hopefully he see's this because A N X I E T Y

[jade marsh]

Sadly it's about my bedtime

[versed violet]

Having a bed time when amid evil is nearly out

No

[finite shuttle]

Yeah, you can't sleep for

at least

7 days

er no

5 now

[dark granite]

yeah i mean

its not an nda

but pls no leaks thanks

[finite shuttle]

well I aint no filthy boi

[jade marsh]

Yeah he'll give you da pass but he's merging it

[night ginkgo]

^

[jade marsh]

To the main branch

[finite shuttle]

ayyyy neato

[night ginkgo]

few hours, or you can just PM for the code

[finite shuttle]

I can wait

[jade marsh]

Prolly be done by the time I can play again which is like tomorrow night lol

[night ginkgo]

if you can't wait

cool

[versed violet]

Access to github pls so i can play extreme experimental branches

[jade marsh]

Ep1 was fun af though

[finite shuttle]

Yeah just let us play all the unfinished levels rn honestly

[jade marsh]

Especially level 2

BUT I MUST DO SLEEP

[versed violet]

Ep 7 test. Pills running at you

[finite shuttle]

oh god I hope

I need to see a test video of pill enemies

[night ginkgo]

epishode scheven: i'm fuggin drunk

[jade marsh]

Ep7 takes place in the future

[finite shuttle]

Episode Seven: Afraid of Monsters
I really need these pills

[night ginkgo]

Episode 7: directed by JJ abrams

[jade marsh]

Turns out Amid Evil is Daikatana remade

[finite shuttle]

Episode 6 transitions to DUSK's time period. Episode 7 takes place on a Space Station naturally.

[versed violet]

Secret ep 8 is TWR style

[gloomy pike]

how long has amid evil been in production?

[night ginkgo]

since nov 16

bout year and 2 months

[gloomy pike]

the team is just you two?

[night ginkgo]

pretty much

[gloomy pike]

damn

[night ginkgo]

Daniel Hedjazi is doing a few levels, Andrew does the music, and James does QA

[devout jackal]

That's a very high amount of work in a very short amount of time.

[night ginkgo]

indeed

[devout jackal]

Who is responsible for the SFX out of curiosity?

[night ginkgo]

we do work fast

[versed violet]

I have all the respect for QA

[night ginkgo]

me and andrew

NB QA team also helps out

[versed violet]

Walking into every surface in each level from 4 different angles

[devout jackal]

I figured Andrew had a hand. Good job, both of you, honestly. SFX and HUD are my make or breaks.

[night ginkgo]

I made the UI lol

[dark tusk]

[night ginkgo]

which some people apparently hate

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[versed violet]

The sfx make me happy. Always goosebumps from the player sounds

[devout jackal]

My only actual real complaint is I can't read the font easily, but my brain doesn't do that style for some reason. Like, I can't read metal band logos either lol.

[cosmic sandal]

New 🅱lood discord is best

[vocal ingot]

I find the UI to be a neat mix of minimalist and like, oldschool overdone

[devout jackal]

Which is a small ass complaint in the end.

[night ginkgo]

next game we're going with comic sans and papyrus

[versed violet]

Comic sans mod

[vocal ingot]

Same on the font though, but its not unreadable

[night ginkgo]

oh wait, that's been done 🤔

[devout jackal]

Just use 6x3 font

[versed violet]

Can the wall inscriptions in the levels be changed to wingdings

[night ginkgo]

I'm staying the fuck away from Microgamma, agencyFB and orbitron

since it seems like those are the only fonts devs use these days

[devout jackal]

Did you make the AE font?

Never seen it before.

[night ginkgo]

nah it's a modified FoughtKnight

[split fossil]

Comic sans is a safe bet.

[dark tusk]

comic sins

[devout jackal]

Windingo

Oh wait wrong game

@night ginkgo , think you'll fly out to Dallas for QC? 😎

[night ginkgo]

doubt it

expensive as fug from NZ

[devout jackal]

I was gonna say.

Let's start a GoFundMe

[versed violet]

Pax aus tho pls

[night ginkgo]

yeah I'll be at pax

[versed violet]

Im trying everything i can to be there

[night ginkgo]

unfortunately I developed some insane flight anxiety

so even to aus is gut wrench for me

[versed violet]

Take a cruise

[devout jackal]

I'll be sure to bring a projector and a colour theory PowerPoint to Quake Con.

[night ginkgo]

haha ok

[versed violet]

Have gastro all of pax

[night ginkgo]

I got gastro last xmas

lots of fun

[versed violet]

Worst

[night ginkgo]

biggest puke of my life

entire xmas dinner

it was over a litre lmao

[versed violet]

Haha oh lord

[plain grail]

more room for seconds

[night ginkgo]

lmao true

[cursive kestrel]

nah it's a modified FoughtKnight

when will Fortnite stop infecting everything

[night ginkgo]

such as

I thought we used it well tho

[cursive kestrel]

it was jok

[night ginkgo]

I saw it on a strafe vid once

[cursive kestrel]

I haven't actually seen it be used in anything other than AE

[night ginkgo]

ok

[finite shuttle]

going on what someone said just a bit ago, will there be an option to adjust UI and font size?

Kind of makes me go cross-eyed occasionally.

[night ginkgo]

still working on that, it's super iffy

[craggy cypress]

same tho, the notification texts for pickups is a bit obnoxious at times.

[merry flame]

how can you not love seeing PICKED UP A SMALL BLUE MANA fill all four lines of notifications?

[plain grail]

[finite shuttle]

Just finished Episode 1

wew boi now im pumped

I said I could wait but that wait just got a little harder

[devout jackal]

It's only a week, man.
The longest week of your life

[finite shuttle]

well technically Leon said only a few hours if he's merging the branches

But a week until I can spew information like the filthy rat I am

[versed violet]

Spew it all

[finite shuttle]

no

i dont want Dave to come sex my mom

[versed violet]

He'll be your new dad. Get on his good side and inherit NB

[crystal spruce]

SHOOP SHOOP

next monday!

[finite shuttle]

Hey that ain't a bad idea, I'll slowly work my way into the family business before overthrowing him at 70 years old at the top of his penthouse by poisoning his whiskey cabinet

because "I just ain't ready to take over the family business yet"

[plain grail]

his whiskey cabinet

his most trusted confidante

[buoyant phoenix]

Guys do the weapon reflect the eps?

[gentle zealot]

not really, no

[finite shuttle]

what is amid evil fella's name

[devout olive]

aeman

some might say hamid e val

but they're liars

[cursive kestrel]

limmo

[devout olive]

simeon

[night ginkgo]

his name is zyzz

[versed violet]

Bruh

Of course Zyzz became a badass destroyer of evil

[dire briar]

lol

fukin Zyzz

legend

[versed violet]

RIP

[finite shuttle]

is this canon

[versed violet]

Leon says it that means canon

[night ginkgo]

sure, why not

he ascended

[devout olive]

:o

[finite shuttle]

Now, the question is Zyzz the weird knight man with green fire in his hands in the wallpaper? Or just a pill

[night ginkgo]

WEIRD KNIGHT

[devout olive]

wouldnt be surprised it it was neither

[night ginkgo]

jesus christ

[finite shuttle]

so pill

got it

👌

[night ginkgo]

"Weird Knight" is meant to be the player

he's like the doomguy, but he's the AE guy

[devout olive]

but like

[night ginkgo]

he has no name

[devout olive]

in game

[finite shuttle]

yeah ofc he's the knight, but is he like, a pill

[devout olive]

he aint got a model right

[night ginkgo]

what do you mean by "pill"?

nah no model

[devout olive]

a capsule

[night ginkgo]

oh

yes

[devout olive]

in place of a model

[night ginkgo]

lmao yeah it's a pill holding an axe

[finite shuttle]

yeaaaah

[misty owl]

I am axe

[finite shuttle]

fuck yeah, that's what I will pretend to be from now on, a knight possessing a giant pill telekinetically holding an axe

no wonder the enemies want to kill me, i'm terrifying

[cursive kestrel]

@night ginkgo can answer

[night ginkgo]

dx12

[gentle zealot]

neat

[crystal spruce]

Hey guys! i wanted to ask, when AE hits early access will new episodes/things be added during early access or is it just for testing/bug fixing

[night ginkgo]

things will be added progressively

[crystal spruce]

Even new episodes?

[night ginkgo]

yeah

[crystal spruce]

Cool!

1 more question!!! :p

How long will the early access period last? Half a year or so?

[night ginkgo]

yeah won't be long

[crystal spruce]

Oooh omg!

[night ginkgo]

we already have a lot of content

[crystal spruce]

Like 6 months or so?

Wooooot!

So hyped

[night ginkgo]

less than that, if everything goes well

[crystal spruce]

Woaaaa

[potent patio]

[plucky isle]

500+ messages since 4:00 am

[vocal ingot]

In any case, you can buy it monday, that ain't far off

[potent patio]

[versed violet]

[hoary garden]

[night ginkgo]

[plucky isle]

[plucky isle]

New Blood brings people together

[hoary garden]

[versed violet]

Keys 24/7 at nb

[potent patio]

recommended settings fo r ae?

[patent thicket]

Graphics??

[vocal ingot]

I mean, the recommended are gonna be the default, no?

[patent thicket]

All epic, no AA

[vocal ingot]

Personally though, don't go turning AA on or anything

Yeah that

[queen leaf]

Just TAA or something similar ay?

[potent patio]

how comes no aa & ty

[patent thicket]

Because the game has a crazy look to it. Like, unfiltered textures but lots of colored lighting and SHINY things. Just crazy. Looks best RAW.

[vocal ingot]

TAA doesn't work for it at all, imo

like even more so than TAA normally just doesn't

work in terms of 'look good', obviously

[queen leaf]

Never liked TAA personally

[vocal ingot]

but yeah, people suggest no AA because the visuals play off the very sharp look of it, anionics

[patent thicket]

I hate aliasing and super sample whenever I can, but raw pixels just work with AE's look.

[potent patio]

cheers mate

[crystal spruce]

GOD DAMN IT I MISSED IT

damn these time zones

[prime temple]

calm down

[crystal spruce]

im calm, its just time zones that suck kek

[prime temple]

you used the "big letters"

i was worried :(

[crystal spruce]

expressing emotion through text

[potent patio]

this game is alot harder than i thought, enjoy this so much rn

enjoying*

[cinder mist]

aw yeah glad to hear it 😄

[patent thicket]

@potent patio Evil??????

[vocal ingot]

honestly even it's hard is relatively hard, compared to a lot of FPS out there

Evil though really is an appropriately tough challenege, and it's neat

[patent thicket]

Gotta play on...

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sAQlnEv_xVU/hqdefault.jpg

[potent patio]

im on medium lol already died once

[plucky isle]

@night ginkgo Cool story about your Xmas puke, I was just eating my breakfast. Thanks.😄

[devout olive]

https://www.pcgamer.com/the-heretic-like-fantasy-fps-amid-evil-will-arrive-on-early-access-next-week/

[potent patio]

the level design is crazy jesus

just finished ep1 was amazing

big up

[devout olive]

[plucky isle]

@potent patio More fun awaits in Ep 2-3

[devout olive]

E2m3 is crazy

[patent thicket]

Yeah the level architecture reminds me of top-tier Quake maps... but shinier. Gooooooooood stuff.

[potent patio]

i want to complete it all now but going to spread it out abit

cannot wait

[vocal ingot]

The game really does have a lot of quake vibes

Like the good, neat parts of quake 1, more than just 'raw fps' that most people seem to take as quake

[devout olive]

It's so good though

[vocal ingot]

And it's real neat

[devout olive]

Soooo good

[patent thicket]

Feels good too. Lol I have 13.5 hours in it already...

[plucky isle]

34 hrs

[patent thicket]

And I'm gonna hit up some endless tonight for sure

[plucky isle]

Prepare thyself! they come!

[patent thicket]

What's your best endless wave??? I got 22 with 22 minutes. Dat minute per wave average lol

I feel like you could go on forever as long as you leave the last guy and fill up on health and ammo when you need it... if there are leaderboards time will need to be a factor or something :p

[potent patio]

do you need to comeplete all 3 eps to play endless?

[devout olive]

Nope

It's on the main menu

[potent patio]

wont let me click it like its locked or something

in grey text

[vocal ingot]

It's in the Early Access build

Coming soon-er than the early access release

I believe, anyway?

[cinder mist]

yeah, in a day or so

[potent patio]

i have pre-alpha build

[cinder mist]

v

people with keys will get access to the early access build before monday

[potent patio]

oh i see

[jade marsh]

You just gotta get the secret code

[plucky isle]

Yeah from Leon I guess

If it is still in effect

[devout pulsar]

I've pretty much resided myself to the fact that Monday, the EA release, will be when I can play the game.

It always seems to be when I'm at work or asleep when keys are put up.

[crystal spruce]

I´m happy I can finally play it myself on Monday; now we really can say "soon"; but 5 days can still be somewhat lonh; even if you were waiting for 4 months already (since the gameplay reveal in November)

[potent patio]

damn i only got the first ep nooo

way just getting ready to play ep2 ;((

(not to sound ungreatful for the key)

[cursive kestrel]

you can get the other episodes if you PM a developer

you can't share footage until after EA launch though

[frosty drift]

Those keys are the full game btw

[cursive kestrel]

Yeah, you'll get the full game once it's out

[potent patio]

might just wait dont want to play it all before it even comes out

but yeah iu wouldnt do that anyways

oh really 😉

[jade marsh]

I mean

I believe the code version is the build that's going into EA

[frosty drift]

All game keys are the full game

[jade marsh]

I'm excited to try out 2 and 3 when I get home

I mean the passcode

[frosty drift]

The access code is for ea

[jade marsh]

So waiting til Monday isn't going to be a TON different

[frosty drift]

Yea that is the EA build

I'd recommend doing that tbh

You'll have a way more polished game

[jade marsh]

Plus they're merging the beta-EA build into the main branch

[potent patio]

oh ea tonight for people who have keys?

[plucky isle]

@potent patio you should PM Leon

[jade marsh]

Well last I heard it should be soon but if you PM Leon he can give you a code

[plucky isle]

You'll get the access to the 3 eps

[potent patio]

i will if when he comes back on 😉

[plucky isle]

And endless too

[jade marsh]

Might be out by the time he gets on though timezones and all

[potent patio]

possibly

[plucky isle]

or you can PM him now he'll see and give all you need later

[hoary garden]

sorry if the question was ask is the Early Access built the same as the code version I guess so ?

[jade marsh]

The code version is an earlier build, with the EA build being a separate branch unlockable with a code that Leon has that is being merged

[hoary garden]

Oh nice sounds good !

[jade marsh]

So EA build is playable but it's not allowed to be discussed til' Monday

[plucky isle]

yeah

[hoary garden]

I understand

[plucky isle]

cant wait to share my thoughts and impressions

[hoary garden]

I have been under NDA's before when it comes to early builds or alphas of games

so no worries I look forward to the discussion on Monday 😃

[frosty drift]

This isn't a written NDA but you can be sure you won't be getting into any future betas like this if you talk about or release stuff from the EA build

[jade marsh]

I can't wait to sit down and play it when I get off from boring ass work

[plucky isle]

@frosty drift well that is even worse that all that NDA legal shit lol 😄

[frosty drift]

Yup

[hoary garden]

I dont know anything about the content in the game apart from what I saw in Trailers and on the Steam page

[frosty drift]

NO MORE BETAS OF ANY NB GAMES

You have been warned

[jade marsh]

A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH

[gloomy pike]

hey avain its kinda interesting how dave would publish two games simaler to each other so close to each other aswell

[potent patio]

what two games?

[frosty drift]

Oh Dave and the amid evil guys go way back

[hoary garden]

but the general buzz is awesome though

[gloomy pike]

amid evil and dusk

[frosty drift]

We all used to work on rott13

[potent patio]

theyre not really that similar
