#

i mean they're slow too

#

supposed to be tough

#

but it feels like i never use the celestial claw because for a weapon that throws planets at enemies it feels a little underwhelming

#

maybe just needs an aesthetic overhaul

#

because the kaboom's not super-satisfying without soul mode

inland saddle
#

maybe a bit more audio oomph

plain grail
#

bit of both really

inland saddle
#

The booms do tend to get drowned out

plain grail
#

and a bigger splash, maybe balanced out with diminishing returns, inverse-square and all that

#

i just wish i wanted to use it more because the concept is sick

inland saddle
#

I used it most in ep. 3

#

It also needs more ammo drops in Hordes of Evil wink wink nudge nudge

plain grail
#

same, but only because everything else just didn't harm the wall demons very much

#

while we're on the topic of those guys they could use some sort of indicator that they're invincible while spawning

night ginkgo
#

I look into it, I've made a note

plain grail

"as if"?

it's a conspiracy then

vocal ingot

I get that it's harmless, but do watch those filter evasions

plain grail
#

wasn't trying to evade the filter and i'd make a comment about how crazy politics are right now but i think that's rule one too D:

I kinda don't wanna watch the stream now lol

woeful saffron
#

I do wonder what enemies will be wandering these solar grounds?

inland saddle

spoil the wonder of exploring a tad

#

I think its the knights with fire

woeful saffron
#

Well yes they're present in hordes of evil, buuuut there has to be something else kicking around devilishly in this new world

hidden dune
#

oh man

#

who else is hyped to watch leon take 25 minutes to beat e4m1 with god mode on?

thorn geyser
#

How else will he show everything off?

hidden dune
#

i would lol softly if there was an enemy that could launch you into the air even with god mode on, forcing leon to restart if he got shot off a cliff by mistake

devout olive
night ginkgo
#

welcome to my life

#

when your work is compared to everything

#

the game always looks like ass on a stream

devout olive
#

seen it plenty with dusk but this is the first time I've seen someone try to compare AE to something else like that

night ginkgo
#

"looks like a PS1 game"

#

I mean really lmao

devout olive
#

I seriously wonder if people who say that have ever played the stuff that they compare it to

night ginkgo
#

doubt it

devout olive
#

probably had the stream set to 160p

winged ibex
#

Amid Evil is like being Amid Evil.

inland saddle
#

Just show em that 100% review rating tothetop

versed violet
#

Looks just like conkers bad fur day

night ginkgo
#

there was a real nasty comment "it won't be 100% when I buy it"

#

which is like super spiteful -- buying a game with the purpose of giving it a negative review

#

what is wrong with people

winged ibex
#

That's what happens when reviews are crowd sourced I guess.

#

Congrats on the 100% BTW, didn't realise it was scored that high.

hidden dune
#

mfw amid evil has a higher score than dusk on steam LeonApproved

#

(yes i know dusk has nearly 10 times the reviews)

night ginkgo
#

yeah I mean I don't expect it to stray at 100%, but it's really neat

inland saddle
#

What happens when you make a great game approved

#

These two games should be in every fps fans library

winged ibex
#

It's especially cool that it's a game from right here in Kiwi land.

night ginkgo
#

I was wondering if AE is the first FPS from New Zealand

winged ibex
#

Maybe.

#

Either way it makes me want to make games too.

#

Well, art for games because I don't know how to do maths well.

hidden dune
#

check it out

winged ibex
#

Yeah, Ashen looks rad.

devout olive
hidden dune
#

looks like depth beat indefatigable to the punch, sorry

devout olive
#

not to mention AE needs to be added to that list

hidden dune
#

@prisma galleon

#

you can be the AE wiki master too

inland saddle
#

Damn, Ashen does look sick. I've not seen any advertising for that

hidden dune
#

what, is it a game about reviewing "tat" on your couch for the internet?

winged ibex
#

No, but that would be cool.

dark granite
#

Did Dave get lost on stream at all?

#

I coached him through the level the night before

#

But I was still worried he would

inland saddle
#

Yes

#

lol

night ginkgo
#

yeah he did

#

also forgot the cheats lmao

dark granite
#

I sat there with him

inland saddle
#

"If Leon were here, he'd know what to do" hahaha

dark granite
#

And tried to make him remember

night ginkgo
#

it's fine

dark granite
#

Yeah ofc

#

No big

night ginkgo
#

heh any streaming is better than no stream in my book

#

yeah ashen is cool, I was at a meetup where they showed it for the first time

#

it's been in dev for like 4 years

inland saddle
#

Ya, I'm watching the interview from today now

dark granite
#

Did you guys hear about the survival record

inland saddle
#

Some people have ridiculous scores

night ginkgo
#

oh I'm tweaking horde for sure

dark granite
#

Some chick on the show floor lasted 45 minutes

inland saddle
#

I wanted a LB, now I know I'll be of no competition haha

night ginkgo
#

if someone wanted to make an amid evil wikipedia that would be cool

dark granite
#

Hell yeah

night ginkgo
#

I think they frown upon companies doing them themselves

hidden dune
#

so like, does dave just keep you in the dark or something?

inland saddle
#

Nice!

#

Now, to just fill it in lol

Nah like

Deep in the ruins of the industrial complex, the treasure hunter finds an otherworldly portal, which he activates and walks through.

#

what the fuck is this fanfic bullshit

#

"treasure hunter"?

#

leon be grateful you don't have wikinerds shitting up your game with libel like this

winged ibex
#

Is Amid Evil dude a capsule as well?

hidden dune
#

no, iirc he's just a floating weapon sprite

#

ask @night ginkgo

winged ibex
#

Is he a capsule collider though or is that just a Unity thing?

from the looks of it, yeah

dusk lore = made up in 5 seconds. ae lore = rich, 800-page novel

night ginkgo
#

lmao ae lore is all in my head

hidden dune
#

of which 799 pages are spent describing the colors of everything

#

should've let me finish leon

night ginkgo
#

the last page is a recipe for carrot cake

hidden dune
#

sweet, i was thinking about getting carrot cake for my birthday

night ginkgo
#

I used to make 2 carrot cakes a day at our cafe

winged ibex
#

Leon, now you have to include a recipe for carrot cake after you complete the game.

hidden dune
#

what, the interceptor cafe?

night ginkgo
#

nah my family used to own a cafe

winged ibex
#

That's the rules.

steel brook
#

Going back up, I was planning on doing an article on AE but since I don't own the game I can't really supplement my citations with knowledge of the game enough to write a substantial article

night ginkgo
#

I used to do a lot of baking

hidden dune
#

lol the carrot cake is a lie

night ginkgo

made 1000's of coffee, I used to be a hipster barista

I've been collecting articles though for it, so if anyone else wants to give it a go, I'll sent a bunch of relevant junk their way

solar solstice looks fucking amazing tho, can't wait for it

devout olive

yeah dave's not great at video grames

plain grail

he's also not great at speed-reading or short term memory because he scrolled past the "skip level" cheat like six times lol

even with cheats on

checkin out the ae stream when i noticed leon hit up the anime sound effect library again

this is exactly the kind of sound i was looking for in my dusk sound mod for the sword draw clip

#

good job leon

dave is bad at video games

That enemy dashing into the air is staying, right? Seemed like no one knew it happened, but its a must have now

That enemy dashing into the air is staying, right? Seemed like no one knew it happened, but its a must have now

#

yeah they're staying

#

they're a lot of fun to fight

#

crazy dudes that leap at you

#

you can bait them off cliffs and stuff

devout olive

there better be an achievement for making them leap off a cliff

inland saddle
#

Ya, I figured the enemy was staying :P. I mean the air dash in particular

plain grail
#

please tell me the shield dudes can reflect planets btw

inland saddle
#

Oh shit I hadn't thought about that lol

#

All the new enemies look fun to fight

#

The spears to the face were hilarious

night ginkgo
#

they tend to eat the planets

#

I might make them reflect

#

usually a planet kills them before they can react tho

plain grail
#

that would be a step down from all of them being galactus

night ginkgo
#

they reflect lightning which is a real beast of a thing to do

#

it nukes you if you try that with soul mode

plain grail

yeah that looks like it'll be a bitch

Gotcha, gotcha

Do projectiles deflected by the new shield guy damage enemies ?

going to be one hell of a refined Ep4

Reflectodudes are fun to fight

Especially with the voltride Kappa

"Fun to fight" sounds good, 'cause in Hexen it was NOT fun to fight 'em xD

Yeah I was being sarcastic

Oh

Didnt get that sry

It's still fun

It's just what you would expect

They do help the combat variety

plucky isle

Okay I expect some burning spears in my ass

And the flaming spears are cool

#

I gotta watch the vod

Despite being there, I didn't get to see it

#

I had to run the booth LeonApproved

When Dave took a spear to the face I laughed my ass off. Im excited for them

Stop spammin'

frosty drift
plucky isle
#

I have a suspicion that actually Shillbot is a true NB games developer

woeful saffron
#

'The Shill' is the final boss of both Dusk and Amid Evil

plucky isle
#

Otherwise he would not spammin sooo much

#

lol

#

Once you beat The Shill and clean out the Dusk realm you're supposed to win, aren't you? Aren't you? Where's your fat reward and ticket home? What the hell is this? It's not supposed to end this way! It stinks like rotten meat, but looks like some Arcane castle. Looks like you're stuck AMID EVIL. The only way out is through.

woeful saffron
#

and so the cycle begins

plucky isle
#

Yeah after comleting AE you get the same ending screen with AE and Dusk names swapped

#

And then it goes on and on an on and on

woeful saffron
#

oh gosh

he came from the ruins

'he' is the enemy of the enemy

he is heat death

Heat death of the universe

the ultimate enemy, Jig Bohn, he who hastens entropy

spoiler warning the aeturnum actually shoots raw entropy

#

it smashes enemy molecules into complete chaos

and thus, every shot contributes to the inevitable heat death

I have some feedback to give about the enemies

#

I've played episode 1 but I know each chapter has different enemies so the other episodes might not have this problem

proper oxide

you might wanna do that on the steam forums, anything you post here is liable to be buried in a few hours

hard bison
#

okay

#

I just posted a thread into feedback and suggestions

tall temple

๐Ÿ‘

proper oxide
#

btw

#

to answer your question

#

yes they do act differently

#

play episode 2

night ginkgo
#

Each episode has unique enemy behaviour

#

as the game goes on the levels and enemy behaviour changes

#

so there's a lot of variety

dark granite

ep4 adds a lot of variety ๐Ÿ‘Œ

proper oxide

adds zoomie bois

zooooooooooooooom

each episode makes the AI gradually worse

Do that on steam only if you have less than 2 hours of playtime and make sure 14 days haven't passed from the time you purchased the game. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that you can't refund.

You can ask for trading in the trading section of discussions in the steam community of amid evil on steam.

Sorry you didn't like AE, hope you'll check the game out again in the future!

devout jackal
#

I think he was joking.

fierce nymph
#

So like, i finally got AE (And Ion Maiden on top of that), haven't even posted here in quite some time. I have yet to play it fully beyond launching and testing the options. Are there any plans for other AA methods? FXAA looks like crap, Temporal is better but it blurs out everything with a stable picture. No AA has a lot of shimmering since everything seems to be unfiltered (I know, i know aesthetics, but still). Also, is UE4 really that unfriendly when doing custom content/maps?

frosty drift
#

Seemed serious to me

quasi pier
#

agreed with Glue,AE should be more...image clear

#

graphics are a little unreadable and blurry

#

Leon is working on resolution scaling above 100% right?

vestal palm
#

we could get more options, such as ssaa, msaa, tmaa and smaa. Also, these should be offered in powers of two

fierce nymph
#

Maybe it's just how the game renders stuff. I can live with temporal, but if more things come along the way, then great. The first impression i got is that the contrast seems way to high and the whole screen seems rather very busy or messy, but the levels themselves don't have that much detail. In fact, they are very clear with sharp lines and defined geometry which i like. Maybe i just need to get used to it after coming from Dusk

vocal ingot
#

Most AA will still leave the 'shimmering', because it doesn't affect the textures, only the edge of models

#

TAA and FXAA fix that because they just make everything blurry pretty much, if there were the 'better' AA effects attached to it you'd still have the sharp, unfiltered textures to deal with for the most part

tall temple
#

Best AA is no AA. Play in higher resolutions

fierce nymph
#

Yeah, i pretty much used FXAA for non-edge filtering in some games, such as Doom Source Ports. Temporal removes the shimmering altogether, at the cost of sharpness

#

Depends on the game, honestly. Usually i can't stand no AA or no V-Sync (No G-Sync and i hate tearing)

#

Supersampling is good, however. But native doesn't cut it for me, because i can see the jaggies very clearly

quasi pier
#

higher resolutions is not always enough

fierce nymph
#

Maybe a 4K display would be different, from a distance (Obviously the jaggies would be there, but maybe less noticable). But i have a 27' curved Samsung 1080p monitor, which is 30 cm from my eyes, maybe a bit more

quasi pier
#

1080p is not removing jagged edges

#

AA is doing this job

fierce nymph
#

1080p is clearly not cutting it on a bigger display with a lesser pixel density. But the further you stand, the less jaggies you see. Or rather, the less detail you see

quasi pier
#

i have 24 inch monitor on desk

fierce nymph
#

This at least helps on consoles which do not have any post-processing AA or PS3 titles in 720p or sub 720p. IDK how good upscaling looks on HDTVs since i play everything on my monitor. Still, this is going super offtopic from my side

#

I kinda wanted something bigger, and i didn't regret my purchase. I was afraid how pixel density would look, but in reality it looks perfect, and the colours are beyond good

plucky isle
#

The colors... are something.. weird actually

quasi pier
#

colors are good,blurry graphics are not

plucky isle
#

The colors are messed up for now a bit

#

compared to pre-latest update version

fierce nymph
#

After a long wait, i bought it yesterday. Couldn't resist since it was on my list along with Ion Maiden, Got both. So i couldn't see how the previous update looked

plucky isle
#

Well maybe if I manage to find my screenshots...

#

I'll show ya

fierce nymph
#

Sounds good

plucky isle
quasi pier
#

hmmm

plucky isle
#

Yeah Leon is aware too

quasi pier
#

more visiblity on lower screenshot??

plucky isle
#

nah I just messed up with the 1st one

#

That color shit could be due to the new UE4 version

fierce nymph
#

Woah, it's like the whole shading and Post-Processing is gone

plucky isle
#

Well actually it is more hard to explain

#

It's quite a long story

quasi pier
#

where is Leon where you need him

plucky isle
#

The matter is: the colors on the lower screenshot could be seen EVEN before the latest update in the windowed mode

#

But in fullscreen it looked like on the upper one

#

But now both Fullscr. and win-modes give you the lower variant of palette

#

I presume that is somehow due to either UE4 shit, or the one weird bug after the latest update

#

The bug makes the game launch in some kinda borderless mode, so maybe it does some stuff to the colors

#

idk

#

The devs are lookin' into it

fierce nymph
#

Yup, it's borderless. Just checked. It might be due to that. It's interesting nevertheless, how fullscreen and windowed/borderless look different

plucky isle
#

Yeah makes me wonder too

#

but that is the thing i can definitely remember

fierce nymph
#

The game starts in borderless, which is the default selected option. Switching it to fullscreen actually makes it fullscreen (but the game sets it to windowed in options, however it isn't windowed), and if you set it manually to windowed, it is still borderless, but not fullscreen (renders the desktop, fast switching between apps) the colour itself is exactly the same on all the options.

plucky isle
#

Looks like it is always windowed now, even if it looks fullscreen

#

idk

#

that's some weird shit

fierce nymph
#

Well, considering my monitor cuts sound when switching between the game and desktop, i think it is fullscreen (Display Port) but HDMI acts the same way, can't remember for DVI. If the transition is smooth, then it is rendered on top of the desktop

#

But i can't give much info since i didn't play it much apart from just testing the game. The first level looks normal to me. Maybe it should look different, but it does look vibrant

plucky isle
#

I guess, we shall see what the devs can do

#

I can not figure out myself the exact reasons of that

#

But all in all, the game seems to have lost some red and purple shades

fierce nymph
#

The first level looks a lot like the first screenshot you posted. It has a lot of blues and purples, very vibrant too. But since i can't judge between the versions, i will just have to wait and see

plucky isle
#

Well, some levels did not change too much, but on some of them you can clearly see the difference

#

Oh

#

lemme show ya something

#

Before

#

After

#

That is the same Yellow Supernova

#

The walls and environment look almost the same, but as for the weapon...

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

fierce nymph
#

Oh yeah, it looks exactly the same as the second shot in-game

plucky isle
#

Yes

fierce nymph
#

But yeah, the weapon really looks like it is missing something

plucky isle
#

Weird stuff

#

Really

fierce nymph
#

Yeah, hope it gets sorted out soon. (like really soon) i want to play it in full glory

vestal palm
#

tfw you randomly click on things. Higher res is not a solution to the problem, having AA is like having higher res but that depends on the option of the power of 2 you are using. Around same performance hit on my end. The last patch noted of an update to ue 4.19, and that's highly likely the reason it looks different (unless leon is hiding something :))

plucky isle
#

Yeah I also think it is somehow happening due to 4.19 version

crystal spruce
#

leon already confirmed its because of the engine update cause epic changed default color values n shit if i remember correctly

sand lintel
#

still having a hard time imagining why they would change the default colors, i mean they are default values for a reason, to always be set in stone

crystal spruce
#

if leon says so that they tend to do that for whatever reason from time to time in an update i believe the man

#

who knows man, they all got their asses stuck in fortnite maybe it was for their benefit to change em

#

you probably only notice em in a game like AE and with a hardcore nerdistic community

#

Better do it at Steam Forums

plucky isle
#

It will get lost here most likely

dark granite
#

theres also a button to do it in game

#

:D

grand ingot
#

Cool thanks a lot

#

I posted my bug

#

I went back to this game after I got some time to play videogames to play the Early Access version

#

Damn

#

This game is incredibly good

#

The visual department is outstanding

sand lintel
#

im having trouble understanding it a little, are you saying the trident goes into its normal fire while still in soul mode when you run out of mace ammo?

grand ingot
#

I want to make more NES styled fanarts of the game

#

Let me recap that

#

I'm using the Mace, soul mode starts

#

I run out of ammunition, still on Soul mode

#

It swaps to Trident

#

Trident usually shoots a constant stream of lighting

#

But even on Soul mode, it's now firing on semi auto for some reason

#

And this goes only if I keep holding the mouse

#

It happened twice to me

sand lintel
#

hm, sounds weird but i could see it happening with some of the changes made recently

grand ingot
#

Very minor bug but hey, it's always good to know

#

This only happens if during all the process, I keep holding the mouse

sand lintel
#

i think its at least medium, it doesnt break the game but the soul mode is important and some people might not realize they are losing out on it in that scenario if they arent very aware of how it normally shoots

grand ingot
#

Are you a programmer of the game?

sand lintel
#

no, i just speedrun the game occasionally

grand ingot
#

Oh

sand lintel
#

leon and simmo are the programmers of the game, they have their own discord role

grand ingot
#

I must congratulate the programmer of this game because the shader and lighting work is just too damn good

sand lintel
#

i agree, visually it was a very nice sight on the eyes, at least while on high video settings heh

#

the filter effect on lower video settings can hurt a little though, especially that water

plucky isle
#

Just tried to reproduce the bug, and yes - after running out of green mana and having no red mana, it switches to the Trident and it shoots like in a non-soul mode, but that happens only if I hold fire button

grand ingot
#

Yes that's what happened

#

Exactly

#

I haven't tested the game on a lower end machine

#

But bad pixelation can indeed look bad

plucky isle
#

I thing AE dudes will fix that though it is not a very serious issue

#

game is still WIP

#

So there are many things to be done

dire briar
#

Someone tell @night ginkgo

grand ingot
#

Yes I know, it's early access :) so it's the perfect time to fix any bug

plucky isle
#

can't wait to play Solar Solstice episode

#

It looked so great at PAX demo

grand ingot
#

I didn't see the PAX demo

#

hey @sand lintel, do you have any runs on youtube?

#

My favorite episode so far is the second one

#

The designs of the enemies were really cool

#

Only enemy I haven't liked aesthethically wise is the giant head that spits out fire

#

atleast comparing it to the other enemies of the game I think it could've been done better

#

My favorite enemy is the shotgun dude in the second episode that shoots a bunch of eyes and teleports out of existence when dead

#

yeah the fov video wouldnt have been possible without 500pts, he was very informative on some obscure stuff

even if i explained it backwards by accident lol

sand lintel
#

if it wasn't explained in any context i doubt i would've figured it out anyways lol, so it's still worth that :p

fierce nymph
#

I so want to start playing this, but that lightning bug "buggs" me a lot

versed violet
#

Which? The no ammo switch bug?

fierce nymph
#

no, no, the ambient lightning and how it shades on texture surfaces along with weapon colour effects being different due to the UE4 engine update. we talked about it here not to long ago, a couple of scrolls up should contain the info

I still think it's weird that people have been complaining about AE not having enough enemy variety when Heretic had like, 4 enemies that got recycled for 80% of the game and the ones that weren't tended to be reskins with more health

nocturne tapir
#

to be fair heretic is also like 20 years old

hidden dune
#

to be fair most of the people complaining probably aren't even that old

nocturne tapir
#

that is also true

hidden dune
#

heretic turns 24 this year IIRC

#

almost a quarter of a century old, man

nocturne tapir
#

this does not make me feel any younger

#

:V

#

AE is like an infant by comparison

#

a glorious infant, mind you

hidden dune
#

AE is a baby? Is that why its color palette is so colorful? LeonApproved

crystal spruce
#

lol who complained about that

nocturne tapir
#

the leonling got its hands into the finger paint jars :v

crystal spruce
#

actually AE has lots of variaty imo

#

they differ from episode wtf lol

nocturne tapir
#

from a game design perspective i also don't see the point of having a shit ton of enemy types if most of them overlap in purpose

hidden dune
#

well, in the old days, programmers used to do that to add more variety to the game without going over the RAM limitations

#

but in AE's case

#

it's made by like two guys, lol

crystal spruce
#

i mean but the enemys really differ

#

more or less but they differ

#

sometimes more

hidden dune
#

Do they, though?

crystal spruce
#

eh ye?

nocturne tapir
#

well there's always a rushing melee mook but they do behave slightly differently

crystal spruce
#

mid tier enemys are also diffrent attack patterns and stuff

#

projectiles etc

nocturne tapir
#

yeah that's where the main variety is

crystal spruce
#

they also look diffrent

nocturne tapir
#

"floaty shooty enemy" exists in all three episodes so far but they're done rather differently

crystal spruce
#

why do we have this conversation lol

nocturne tapir
#

because we're bored after midnight :V

crystal spruce
#

good point

nocturne tapir
#

personally i feel like the devs have done a good job with the episodic variety already, and they say there's more to come, so hey

crystal spruce
#

yeah there gonna be shield and spear suckers

nocturne tapir
#

o lawdy, shields

crystal spruce
#

deflecting attacks and throwing spears in ur face

#

they do stick also for a while

#

at least thats what was shown in pax

nocturne tapir
#

catch a spear in your eyes and be BLINDDDDDDD

#

i wonder if they can deflect soul powered attacks

#

block a sun and throw it back

#

gg players

crystal spruce
#

lol

nocturne tapir
#

or maybe they block the black hole and turn reality inside out

crystal spruce
#

becomes a white hole and shit gets thrown at u

nocturne tapir
#

out comes all enemies you've ever shoved into the black hole and GOOD LUCK SON

plucky isle
#

Fuck dudes you are both reading my thoughts lol

nocturne tapir
#

then you fire a second black hole

#

also you see that vacant smile to the left? that's the look of mind reading

plucky isle
#

...and it turns out to be a yellow hole cause Epic has messed up with the colors in the latest engine build
