like physically not just in your soul
the reward is some fucking juicy sfx by andrew hulshult

also i suggested to leon that you guys should tweak the flavor text next to where you pick up the whisper's edge, really emphasize that "edge" part
because before i realized you didn't want to hit enemies dead-on i hated it
now it's one of my favorite weapons
is it just me or are some of the cheats mixed up?
like, the "aliens come and steal the hud" cheat activates superfast mode
it died but
its torso and arms are sitll there
and its tossing rocks at me
is that supposed to happen
lol
Haha no, can you reproduce it or was it totally random?
the gameplay and map design are fucking awesome but man, the way this game sounds, both SFX and music, it's all just a thing to behold
I'm still on it
yeah leon confirmed some cheats are wrong in this build
it died and i think i activated a switch at the same time im not sure
thank you for making none of them fucking boring
Btw take ANYTHING I say with a grain of salt as I am just the sound designer but I'll relay over what I can. Steam forums are your friend.
the whisper's edge when you cleave a bunch of enemies charging at you through a hall ๐
that delicious damage
i love the mace looking weapon
that pins enemies to walls
reminds me of the nailgun from project brutality or the hl2 crossbow
except it happens 100% of the time 90% of the time
@sterile briar I am relaying that one over to QA now
I'm uploading a video of it too
weaker enemies just one-shot if you point blank them
i'll post it on steam forums
im guessing this isnt supposed to happen
here it is if you wanna see
the most "boring" weapon is the celestial claw as it's just a rocket launcher but the presentation more than makes up for htat
idk why its in a tiny box
i've destroyed earth so many times
star of torment is the best weapon in the game
I'll pass that on, thank you!
How dare you. That is our home
@sterile briar thanks for the feedback and video, much appreciated
ay np
love the username lmao
i dont even know why this is my username tbh
now that's a double kill
can you swim forever
legit bug report now, i died to moon guardian and on the restart, no music
tfw you get the key in journeyman's way and have no clue where to go afterwards
@sterile briar there's no breath, yeah you can swim forever
nice
0:39 now, think thats enough lmao
wait nm found it
@plain grail thanks for the report
also have soul mode graphics despite not being in soul mode
on the HUD i mean
green fire effects with whisper's edge out
was it a quickload
was the lastest save a quicksave
yes
quicksaved right before the fight to skip ammo pickup on the restart
had a soul mode ready to go, popped it before the quicksave
okay, thanks, we'll look into it ๐
so i wouldn't jsut annihilate moon guardian
I feel dumb, but I get the impression I'm still not understanding the proper way to use Whisper's Edge. Am I meant to hit enemies with the edge of the sword, or the outer edges of the projectiles?
@plain grail already aware. Might happen from time to time. It's on the list ๐
Either or, if you hit them on the edge it can hit multiple enemies if they are all standing close
Fringe benefits
they were destroyed along earth
this is what happens when you use planets for ammo
Damn
maybe if you stop threatening the devs then they would give them to you
It really do ๐ ฑe like that tho
the real question is: does anyone else have trouble reading in this game some times
i think im almost at my limit for reading this font lol
Blasphemy
yeah, it's a known issue. And they're still working on readabillity
so said Dave, anyway 
So yeah, is Journeyman's Way the start of episode 3?
Amid Evil looks glorious. Will be buying as soon as I get paid
that was a long level, man
What is mans favourite weapons so far?
Star of Torment in my case
they're all great tbh
true
conceptually Celestial Claw is my fave
in combat i'm starting to love the Whisper's Edge more than anything else though
but they're all great
all useful and most have some subtle quirk you need to keep in mind
when I first heard about the Celastial Claw I just thought why no one came up with this before......I mean pulling random planets out of space to shoot.......hahaha
It's kind of like DOOM and I didn't even think about it in my head until I read the RPS article
@plain grail Do you have any advice for getting the most out of Whisper's Edge?
Aim at diagonal angles across hordes of plebians
make sure you hit them with the edge and it will penetrate
hit them dead-on and it dissipates
that's pretty much it
also try to lure enemies into small corridors before you activate soul mode whisper's edge
because it just bounces around endlessly and slaughters fucking everything
Soul Mode with that shit is so satisfying
firehose of holy water, relentless bouncing slicey beams, big motherfucking lightning beam, sun launcher, shard explosion, and of course the black hole
i'm glad someone finally figured out making the tome of power into a core gameplay mechanic
so fun
The tips on Whisper's Edge are appreciated - evidently my first assumption was correct, but I kept second guessing it because the random angles the projectiles fire at make it slightly difficult to predict where exactly I should aim in order to make sure the edge of the slash will hit multiple targets.
Also, I'd currently say Star of Torment, @scarlet crystal. It's like the medieval version of FEAR's Penetrator, and the fact that it has such an accurate spread on its projectiles makes it super satisfying to kill several enemies in a row without missing a shot.
still trying out some routing stuff but its chalking up to be a fun game to speedrun so far thats for sure https://puu.sh/zGSoH.png
AE speedrunning has me very interested
it feels pretty close to quake in that you are constantly shooting everything to stumble it while you run past lol
are there any plans to have a millisecond time display for the level results screen?
im sure leon would
it would be an appreciated feature, for sure
walked around for half a level with soul mode ready so i could do this lol https://puu.sh/zGU6N.png
One of the cheats makes the planet shooter shoot only Earth. What's the significance of that, if anything? Is it just to go "heh, I'm shooting earth at dudes" or does Earth deal more damage or someething?
was wondering if amid evil had any specific movement options besides your standard wasd jump but it doesn't appear to
I had some surgery done on my eyes yesterday and AE was maybe no t the best game to play first after regaining sight
laying down sounds real good right now
that seems kinda broken tho
leon said he was gonna fix it or something
i hope so
Anyway at 60 or 30 the weapons are fine

is there a no clip cheat code? when i walked on an elevator i stood under a torch and it made me stuck in the elevator lol
Noclip cheat does not work atm
ty
so how's amid evil for those who are playing it?
The Masterpiece
s'gud
hmmm, after i loaded my save secret doors arent opening, i could kill enemies behind them but they just didnt open like they did last time weird
needs more compression
a very high quality image that is
one day
I guess I'll wait for that day then.
post release
we're not interested in keeping multiple builds updated during EA, that's time we'd rather spend on actual development
Yeah, I understand.
In any case congratulations on successful EA launch. The game is pretty interesting.
thanks โค
EA backwards is AE
If you say amid evil backwards Leon appears behind you and takes $20 from your wallet
also , ive wanted to ask about this for a month or 2 now, whats with the realtime lighting and relfections?
they feel out of place
You think so? Personally I feel they look amazing although I was skeptical at first buuttt once you see it in real time.
ive had the game for awhile (they dropped a few keys a month or 2 ago and i nabbed one) , and i still think they dont look right
isn't there a setting to disable them?
doesnt look like it
I really like the aesthetics of the game as is, it's its own little style
it's a great blend of just the right flavors of old-school
the way the weapons just float static in front of you is a nice touch

my single favorite sound effect is the laugh when you pick up weapons
Same
it's perfect
I need that as my phone notification sound
honestly i love that idea, the thought of leaving my phone in ear range of other people and getting notifications and laughs just fill the room
my phone ringtone when I get a call goes "RINGGG RINGGG" with an echoing voice saying it over and over again
a cackling laugh on every notification would just be gold
if just that sound were a $0.99 DLC I'd totally buy even though I'm normally against such things
because it's too amazing
this seems good. I'm stuck on the first level though. Just circling around.
Got the keys already?
if you get both keys theres a place to use them back in the beginning of the loop
ah no I think I've only one key
hey found a weird pathing bug playing e1m1 on evil, the sword-beamy dude tries to jump across that little gap between windows before you get the whisper's edge
and he jumps backwards instead of forwards
then runs to the window and does it again
this was earlier today. I'll just go back try again solutions probably staring me in the face
E1m1 is a good intro to how the game is laid out. I don't think there's any back tracking but there are definitely return points. Might be missing something before that point
A big difference between heretic/hexen and AE is the backtracking i believe?
So the solution is always ahead technically even if the oath leads you to an older spot
Path
AE levels are more Quake-ish rather then Heretic-ish or Hexen-ish
ah, bit i was missing was firing upon the red rune. Like I said staring me in the face.
Pay more attention to this kind of runes - most secrets will be triggered by shooting them
i dont know about most, it feels like maybe a little less than half are triggered by them though
I just finished what Amid Evil has to offer right now
and it was freaking awesome!!!
congratulations!
the game is really awesome!!
can't wait for more content
so uh, anyone notice some mouse smoothing or something?
i'm playing at 144 and it just seems really weird to aim, dusk seemed more raw
mouse smoothing is disabled in AE
hey leon, do you think you can add milliseconds to the level result screen for speed runners? :o
@plucky isle defs getting more of a Quake vibe on the larger release than heretic/hexen ... I'm okay with that!
just wait for the rest of the game ;)
all this talk of mouse smoothing.....https://youtu.be/4TYv2PhG89A

@dark granite impatiently doing so
@night ginkgo so is it true that the axe is meant to sound like the Berserk meme clang, or was that just a coincidence?
even the cgi anime that's from? wow, that's dedication
most people on youtube ae videos are groaning at it
lol
it is
just finished an ep1 speedrun in 4:15 :)
Nice work mate!
I miss being able to commit to speedruns and shit. Sadly two production companies and a day job hate my free time haha
omg, setting the game title on youtube to "amid evil" changes it to Heretic when it's uploaded ๐
NB's most popular games: minecraft and heretic
i think it's funny when youtube does this lol, it also lists the game as "Quake" when i upload speedruns of dusk to youtube haha
Well you did write Hereric in the description
It might have to do with the tags you mark it with, also yeah
i dont even mark tags or write descriptions
Dusk is either quake or minecraft on youtube
youtube just automatically tag Quake onto dusk speedruns
i think if oob gets found it gets patched, or at least thats what i heard
yeah it does, Leon patched e1m2 and he'll probably patch e2m1 the next update
yeah watched that e1m2 speedrun earlier, it gave me some ideas for my regular e1 inbounds speedrun :)
you could easily rocket jump up that platform to get to the key
yeah thats what i do
if i gave a shit about speedrunning, i would've done that
planet jump*
theres also another planet jump after you open the key door and go up the red room
the level is like 40 seconds long
nah the room is just colored red
journeyman's way seem like it'll be tricky to speedrun
the only celestial claw takes a while to get to normally
yeah im looking forward to routing those, probably gonna do ep 2 tomorrow and ep3 the day after
oops
Hey, Hexen had a marked decrease in playercount as Amid Evil stole its thunder https://steamdb.info/app/2360/graphs/
i dont know how much of it it could have stolen haha, it says the game has had a peak of 20 players in the last 5 years
don't most people who play hexen play on Zdoom ports anyway, making steam irrelevant? whereas AE is on steam only
I have an unopened box copy of hexen somewhere
yeah that's probably, i bought quake on steam just to legally own the wad to run in quakespasm instead lol, steam metrics are kind of moot for those kind of games
@narrow breach sell that shit for big bucks on ebay, then pay $1.24 next time it goes on sale on steam for the iwad, trust me
I already have it on steam, and I have no intention of selling it ๐
I passed up a sealed copy of UT2004 at the flea market cus I'm dumb
probably makes for a nice collection piece :)
got it as free swag back in quakecon '08 or '09
UT2004 CD has DRM, GOG one doesn't and is cheaper. you were smart. on-topic: AE plus x = axe
so leon, i think i may have earned you another customer with my AE videos. he was really impressed with E1M2 
Will Amid Evil's Collector's Edition include the game?
because apparently it's the thing now to not include that
And then suddenly 3dr come in and drop duke nukem keys
... Duke nukem forever keys that is
Oft
dave is like one of those appliance salesmen you saw on tv back in the day
I MUST BE CRAZY WITH PRICES THIS LOW
just dropping amid evil keys left and right
We need a shit TV ad like used car sales people had back in the day for Dave and his sales... but it needs to pussy lover Cheech from Dusk til Dawn or gtfo
just dropping amid evil keys left and right
If you can find DUSK cheaper than Steam, FUCK IT!!!!
AE you need, C'mon in FPS lovers, we have 8bitfps, 16bit fps, Build engine fps
Just piacked up Amid Evil, pretty good so far. E1M1 was great.
And either im just bad at games or the difficulty is higher/different than Dusk and it threw me off at first
And I get that theyre supposed to be different. just came off of Duskmare and found this to be a challenge somehow. idk.
I think the main reason is that enemies are much more aggressive and attack far quicker once they get into melee range.
oh yeah
It's like sincerely hard to not get hit in ae
i remember hearing about them being aggressive and they definitely are, more so than im used to
didnt realize that the weapons were sprites at first and damn do they look good
same i thought the render scaling was off or something then i realized "wait these are sprites" and my appreciation increased tenfold
yeah definately
hey so is the anti aliasing really this taxing or am i jsut bad? Can run game on extra but aliasing on high
as far as i know it's discouraged to be used at all. i think.
i mean in terms of preserving the aesthetic but the setting itself im not sure how well it does or doesn't run
combats different, enemies put out more damage and aggro hard in AE
i would ping one of the devs and ask ๐คท
Strange - after I set the frame cap to 240 and left the settings otherwise on Medium, episodes 1 and 2 ran with no problem other than an occasional hitch maybe a few times per level. Now, though, E3M1 seems to be causing far more frequent stuttering even with Low settings. Has that level in particular caused a performance drop for anyone else?
100% were done here, we did it
I haven't quite been able to solve the stuttering issue yet, not matter how much i play with the framerate cap
have you tried vsync?
Yeah
the 660, and the fx 6100
I don't remember if i mentioned it but the audio also crackles when it stutters.
i don't think the weapons are sprites
the pickups are
but the weapons when you're holding them react to light and shading
the weapons are sprites
certainly looks like a mix of sprites and 3d models at least
wow
they're normal mapped
aaah
so they have 3d depth
really fucking impressive stuff
that's his fursona
FLOATING AXE
an axe
"and my axe!"
Jokes on all of you, Leon just took the screenshot while he had an Invisibility powerup.
check out this AEdude art by @white lynx !!!

ChibiAE
love it ๐
what's the glowy thing on his chest?
the google chrome icon?
WARRIORS - THE TIME HAS COME!
The @IndefatigableNZ ode to Heretic, Hexen and all things dark fantasy FPS - AMID EVIL - is available NOW in Early Access.
NOW GO... and kick some ancient evil a...
PLS TO RT WARRIURRS
WARRIORS, COME OUT AND PLAY-AY!
whew, I'm suprised it's playable at all so soon
leon and team are wizards
Those guys pumped out a sweet ass game FAST
One small cosmetic detail has been impressing me
Are the planets
Procedurally generated
Or do they use textures?
Then gets a color randomization
Awww glad you guys liked the chibi AE dude.
procedural is bad for good asset creation.
@sour linden not procedural, crafted
if they were procedural they'd look pox, requires actual mapping and shaders etc.
I believe Leon said that in dark rooms some of them have lights on
(Im talking about the planets launched by the staff which name i forgot rn btw)
it's not a base texture, there would be a base texture, then lighting passes as well as effects or atmosphere etc.
@sour linden so am I
Oh, ok, got it now.
Leon chatted about it the other day in here
but yeah try the dark room thing, they have lights on the planets haha
nah dude all good
Yep it's reactive, if they were procedural you wouldn't have that level or craft or detail, also why you can get the same planet 4 times in a row on the staff on occassion
algorithm can only randomise through whats created
Ah, ok, got it
planets are hand made mats, yeah, but they re use textures and have different colours, hue shifts, atmosphere variables etc
they're also 2D, the texture being warped using a spherical normalmap
i'm actually making some new ones now 
will any of them be mars, except instead of the face of mars it's the face of leon on it?

Here's an interesting question... Is the laughter you here when you pick up a weapon your characters or something else's...?
your character
Oh fuck, keys have been passed out like candy the last few days and I miss em. What else is new, oof
same
One thing I'm at least a little pissed at is this naggling little trend I've noticed with a lot of these recent releases. Don't mean to get negative here but this is a legit gripe of mine:
AAAAAAAAALLLLLL the retro fps comebacks have been released in psuedo-early access
because they're in a presentable enough to be played
like dusk
dusk is good
but dusk is not done
yeah a lot of people wanted to play AE, so why not
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
you can always wait till the full game is out
It's gonna be funny when the first negative review on AE gets fucking bombed
"Lol we're not actually done making the game yet have this and you'll get the other half by the end of the year (read: next year)" I understand it but it's been like this for Ion Maiden, Dusk, and now this. I am a-ok with it, but it's just a thing I've noticed
the other thing is we can fix bugs/polish etc so the full release is really nice
It's just something I'm not used to considering I tend to avoid EA games (both early access and EA games) like the plague but these are different obviously
Like one that came out a few days ago looked reaaaally fucking cool and then I see they plan on being in early access for the next fucking two years
Like no thanks
DayZ standalone is still in early access after IIRC 5 years
Bad example
Though that's probably because the "zombie survival crafting" profit dried up and now it's all "battle royale"
Also I can't stand that fucking PUBG is one of those games "too good to go on sale"
Zombie > moba > crafting > survival > battle royal > $$$$$
Amid Evil Battle Royale when
clearly dave hates money
Retro zombie moba crafting survival battle royale WITH graphics = $$$$
Exactly, I gave Fortnite a try and didn't like it one bit. PUBG plays differently and looks like more my kind of game but I am extremely skeptical of anything huge
I quite like fortnite
One of my favorite fucking games in my steam library doesn't have as much attention as it should, though that's likely cuz it's one of those permadeath roguelikes that makes everyone roll their eyes
it has terrible aiming and such, but the building mechanics are fun as hell
FORTNITE HAD POTENTIAL WITH THE SAVE THE WORLD CAMPAIGN
but it was bad
BUT ALL IT'S KNOWN FOR IS FUCKING MINECRAFT PUBG AAAAAAHHH
Fortnite ps4 is a totally different experience. Building is a lot less tactical and nobody can aim
You take a shot at someone and within 3 seconds about 15 people in the vicinity have built this chaotic jumble of stairs and walls
some gud AE talk
Good luck
More games need the artstyle Fortnite has. It's got the kooky, cartoonish artstyle of TF2 where the characters and weapons are exaggerated yet they're still killing one another in slapstick fashion. Yeah let's move this there lol before anymore worms crawl up our asses
Itโs all CoD talk in there atm
YO #bnnuy-and-the-jits IT IS THEN
propeller noises
hey now, early access is not an excuse, it's a warning label
thanks for making me see past messages discord
if you buy an EA game and complain about it being incomplete you have one person to blame
you
what if it's not EA
Nah I don't buy EA games that's my point
as in wrack?
I regret Wrack so much
A disgrace
skulltag lolcow dev's final insult
like Amid Evil?
yes
propeller noises
honestly, i think the exact moment i knew AE would kick ass was when they showed off the celestial claw at PAX AUS
but also grim dawn, prison architect, and subnautica
but anyway
i found out this was a thing like a month ago
and i was so excited
i knew it would kick ass when i saw the star of torment in gggmanlives' preview video 
i love how soul mode celestial claw has shockwaves like the stronger weapons in turok
i actually found out about apocryph first
apocryph is to amid evil as witchaven is to heretic
and i was all "oh hey these guys actually have production values"
not even joking
they actually don't, they're just good at faking it
all new blood games are made with dave's pocket change
So I understand that shotgun flail weapon is new, is that the final weapon in the armory or is there another one we don't know about yet?
talent is a production value
there's a purple thingy
AETURNUM
that shoots buals of destruction
hermit purple the lightning ball/black hole shooter
destructor of time and space
Nah the Aeturnum isn't new, it was in the preview build
The Star of Torment is the new one, wondering if there's another one we haven't seen yet. A man can dream
aeturnum is hermit purple, the rock heads are The World, and the axe makes the berserk 2016 clang
AE really is anime
how are the rock heads zawrudo
maybe the shape
they don't stop time
all this beserk talk makes me want to watch it
of his head
don't
ah
the 2016 version is terrible
CLANG
you won't regret it (you will but hey)
Put your grasses on
#amid-anime
Nothin will be wong
I've had worse regrets I'm sure
actual leaked alternate take for AE axe by andrew hulshut
Soo. Hi I'm new, haven't played the game yet but i have seen a lot. And now i have one question. Who made those maps? They look amazing btw.
Wait what? The star of torment wasn't new? The fuck I swear I never saw it until now lol
I was under the impression that there were 7 weapons in the preview and 8 now
Hm, never noticed it before, the fuck lol

I still don't have my fucking key which is absurd becuz I had my Dusk one within like 4 weeks or so of being here lol
Alas, I will wait
tho I could really use one.
I just want to get the game just to study and learn the map design. no shit
Oooh noble venture
@rugged glacier the level design in AE actually isn't that complex, most levels are linear. it's the way they're designed with intricate details and tons of monsters that makes them seem more complex than they really are
i can think of one that i can't mention because it's post e1
e1m1 is probably the most nonlinear level
e1m2 being close
tbf a lot of quake 1 maps were pretty linear
yep
if AE had actual heretic level design i would not have bought it
Heretic E4M9 - Mausoleum - Black Plague Possesses Thee Difficulty + Mouse look ______________________________________________ Please Rate And Comment, -SUBSC...
look at this shit
humping walls just to find out where to go
thanks for making a fantasy fps that isn't a chore to play
What we need next is an Outlaws clone. Ol' classic western theme
jesus fucking christ @hidden dune it's corridors among corridors
let me tell you something
if it weren't for that video
i would've never beaten heretic
no joke
now imagine being a kid in 1994
who the fuck could get past this without humping walls for literal hours? again, thank you leon and simon for making cool and colorful maps
...does wolfenstein 3d or doom ever get that bad?
maybe? doom doesn't, but wolf did have hidden secrets you needed IIRC
I wonder if anyone actually did 100 percent Duke 3D or any of the build engine fps cuz those secrets are fucking insane
i guess i'll try to complete doom one of these days.
and ROTT (leon's equivalent of david and daikatana) oh man
yeah you really should
there's a reason new blood rips it off for half their games
guys i have to tell you something
and it's not just because it's popular
i got halfway through episode 1 and it was pretty damn fun, ill pick it up again soon
Doom is like Half Life to me, I try to complete it at least once every year
funny enough i played through the original half life last summer. really enjoyed it
personally i can't wait until the lock-on add-on for amid evil that'll let me play as the champion in dusk
I fucking marathoned HL1 every year for like the last 3 years
i need to check out the expansions too, blue shift and the other one.
don't
Opposing Force is good though
propeller noises
that's the shitty addon episode though
Everyone else says Blue Shift is shit. Level wise, kinda
first three heretic eps are pretty good
actually i take it back, the codshit is still going on
mostly
take it to #bnnuy-and-the-jits
@crystal spruce it was developed for dreamcast primarily
according to marphitimusblackimus
It was designed for the Dreamcast port, which of course never made it to- yes thanks
Exclusive levels to the dreamcast, like the coop campaign for the PS2 port
#bnnuy-and-the-jits is dwarf fortress central currently
oh god, #242365589887254528 ?
QUICK
sweet, thanks drek, now i can stop talking about the best game released on march 12th
i'm still sad that AE didn't appear on the front page of steam while some waifu shit did
that's the real reason for the anime tag, huh?
what waifu shit

The Virgin blade of whispers vs the Chad star of torment
haha
FR tho, why should I even use the blade of whispers? Sure it's good for big crowds but ain't no crowds gon be big for long when I start swingin my mace ๐๏ธ
soul mode i guess
it's still useful
Assuming I'm at work and can't open the game. What's soul mode? Is that like intruder in dusk?
is there a plan to make soul mode toggle its own seperate button or?
i use it cause its consistent
soul mode is when you get you get enough souls to power your weapons
also star's range isnt nearly as good
Oh right duh
also because its gooes swoosh boof pching
Tfw have soul mode charged in hordes but only 1 enemy left on the wave and no souls to keep it charged
and it's green
Don't talk about my girl like that. Hush baby your range is fine. I love your range
If you're not constantly < 3m to an enemy the difficulty isnt high enougj
Soul mode is for spinning the axe propeller like an immersion blender. Prove me wrong
Enough
propeller noises
My roflcopter goes SOI?
it also does like more damage than two star of torment shots
they're both useful in different situations
there is no "best" weapon in the game and that's fantastic
more games need to be like that
The blade of whispers is good for reminding me why I should use the star of torment ๐ค
don't let the star of torment hear you say that
โ๏ธ๐ก๏ธ๐ค๐ญ๐ ๐
We should get emotes for the different weapons thh
Yur right tho. Blade of whispers is better in soul mode
Using all the weapons depending on the situation is cool and all but have you tried using the celestial claw all the time without thinking
Celestial claw is my side hoe and star of torment is my main squeeze. I don't touch that nasty blue mana
Dont you dare talk shit on my blue mana baes
blue mana happy mana
staff of the azure orb's soul mode just
melts anything it's beautiful
๐ฏ
How is the trident real? Lmao. Just walk away from blue mana. Lmao. Just unbind 4
staff and voltri are both very useful too
trident needs more linked AoE electricity
Staff of azure is the ragedy hoe i turn to when my mace won't put out
chain lightning type
i suggested overkilling causing some sort of splash damage
because honestly i love overkilling with it
POP
yeah overkill is tempting but wastes mana
i'm gonna laugh when sideway's char finds out that enemies are actually weaker to different weapons in this game
or more resistant
that would be hilarious
This week on DOES ๐ IT ๐ MACE๐
yes
always
beats at a stone golem for 45 minutes until it finally dies
Looks like that whole "resistance" thing was a myth

it's fun to use the axe

CLANG
propeller noises
we can all agree axe is best wep
don't smol golems take one direct hit from a planet or two mace whacks to die while the floating masks dudes take like two or three planets to die and two make whacks
i think resistance totally exists somewhere
Smol gols yeah
yeah mace is pretty hardcore for single target damage
smolgol
bebe smolgol
smeagol
the shadow pricks take too many hits with the mace i just use the trident on them and pray they die asap
I play on hard and I thought smol golems took alot of chipping. Could be wrong. Was playing at 4am with 6 car-bombs in me
the only reason shadow pricks take too long to kill with the mace is that the mace shards are slow and them fuckers is fast
if you connect they die in one hit
๐ค
but that's hard to do beyond pretty much point blank
Only solution of shadow pricks it soul mode aeternum
Me looking for a reason not to use the star of torment
Is*
God that file name
two swipes can knock out the whole pack if you line it up right
Oof
h
Shadow boiis crumble to the axe
Yeah if you manage to clip them all with a couple swiprs
It's easy to time with them
The best weapon is Leon's friendship
lmao then you're all fucked
The best weapon is a kiss from your hommies
QUALITY:
EPIC
That exaggeration
yeah :/
next game I'm using fucking times new roman or something
amid evil should've had wingdings to start
Awaiting star of torment nerf

๐ฃ ๐ค :+1: โฌ
i wonder if we get mad lore about the previous wielders of the weapons you collect
Make celestial claw have azure orbs evil seeking
Well we know the previous wielders of the axe are dead
No
u rite
Who needs lore
me
Kill stuff
I need it for my fanfic
Make celestial claw fire a planet that explodes into stars of torment that fire axes
Perfect
drown me in that lore
i need to spend 20 seconds making out that delicious chunk of text written in iron maiden
Only if itโs in song form
i need to know who the solar acolytes are and why they think they're so great
them some questions
AE phsyical collectors has a lorebook?
i would totally buy that i love this game irrationally
Tbh AE is top contender for GOTY rn even in EA
I havent been this excited by a new game in a long time
Red dead might change that if it ever comes out
ty every nice comment gives me life
give Leon too much life and he'll enter soul mode
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Azure orb me daddy
I finished ep 3 earlier today and im gonna go do a 100% run soon
You just point it at me n shoot
whisper me over the edge~
But im not evil so the orbs just tingle
be my celestial claw
Torment me with your mace
Impale me on your star of torment
shove your staff up my azure orbs
Ooooooh
that sounds painful
Leon if nice comments give you life, what do my comments do
it's like an anti boner
we should make v-day cards with those jokes on them later
my dick goes wayyyy up into my abdomen
it inverts
involuntary selfcest then?
Hot
Your eyes are like the black labyrinth where i found this SWEET FUCKIN AXE WANNA SEE IT? 
can i axe you a question
i'll give you one hell of a voltride
this channel right now: 
baby your mouth is like the projectiles that come out of the aeternum when my soul mode is activated
fuck
and now you're dead
activate my soul mode
I'd last an aeternum with you?
FILL ME WITH LIFE AND ACTIVATE MY SOUL MODE
is that the entire planet earth in your pants or are you just happy to see me
wait no that's the earth
you should put that down
That means earth is flat yeah?
AE is actually flat earth society propaganda
Nah, it's a Sprite like the drink
Aflat Earth
It was there all along. AE is brain washing you.
Rip
I accept it
you just think it's round because of normal mapping
The government is normal mapping our solar system
Looks like I'm gonna have to turn in my "moderately savvy with technology" card
I was looking at this game and thinking
now this is shitposting
"Wow, what a cool and subtle low-res effect"
But it turns out I just had my resolution set too low
๐ lurker ๐
Ahit Eosting*
...


I didn't question it at first because it fit with the AEsthetic
๐ค๐ซ no pun
180p gaming
that's not a lot of peas
"holy shit this game runs fast"
you need more peas
Not playing right if you dont hear coil whining
Oh yeah also I've spent 18 minutes in the level select
My first achievement was dying in level select cause I noticed it whilst downloading 
I have too much fun exploring the gateway looking for areas you didn't think you could get across
it gets hella interesting when you get the Celestial Claw
i was planetjumping around the hub map last night tryna find secrits
On the weekend I'm gonna go though Evil
Evil goes through you
These item pickup sounds are godlike
Keep it up then
laugh is andrew
Look at this hero
me in e3
I suck at video games
Me too
im ok at them
i always play ae on hard; evil gets pretty hefty with mana management and im bad at that
I play every game on normal
I never switch to easy modes because I have too much pride
Should rename the difficulty
- Yeah all good mate
- No worries son
- ahh I wasn't expecting that
- Shit
Speaking of difficulties
Shadow Warrior 2013 on Nightmare is surprisingly easy
I started on the highest difficulty available for shits and giggles, but then I ended up not having any trouble with it
- ooohhh ya bastard
- Yeah nah
- Nah yeah
- Oi naaah
- Fuck mate
aussie localisation:
- cunt
- cuntttt
- cuuuuntttt
- crikey
Egg
๐ฅ
Aussie localisation sounds like the best shit, make it official cunt ๐
"would you like a couple of boiled bum nuts for brekkie?"
eggs are aussie for idiots, bum nuts are aussie for eggs
they're creative
You cunts love bum nuts, don't lie
lmao
it's just like how british people have nutty gum and fruit spleggings breaddystacks
instead of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
and their rooty tooty point and shooty
no that's IHOP in Texas
I uh may have found a spot to fall out of the map in e1m2
Doesnt kill you
Submitted form
huh that's weird
I swear I've died in that spot before
thanks for actually using the bug report feature
why bother with documentation and regression testing when you can shitpost on the same discord server as the devs
'communication is key'

the secret 3rd key in AE
the writings on the wall
propeller noises
i have a really bad video bug if anyone can help me
game breaking bug since it hurts my damn eyes lmao
๐ญ
C L A N G G A N G 
the bug killed him
what was the bug?
You'll never know
use the 'scale aspect' option
oh
then drag the silders
for whatever reason UE default input is to have vertical slower than horizontal
the game looks beautiful, but too colorfull at times
i hope there will be color options
like in dusk
Theres cheats
@signal sinew SHUT UP. IT'S BEAUTIFUL
good boy have a cookie ๐ช
no
you can type ae1990 for 256 colour
or turn off post processing
(in the meantime)
