Wew
gonna play through it on Evil. hehe
:0
Normal difficulty is a tiny bit too easy for me.
well then, go hard ๐
The evil difficulty is a lot of fun imo
Also, are the shielded enemies always blocking on the evil difficulty?
yep
Imagine going through a level on easy then setting the difficulty to evil at the end so the screen reads Evil
AEPOSER
aememes
we need
aegahbage
where it just spawns a bunch of metal bits to clang on the ground
aememes you say
u can lift me bby
I doubt it
Oof
Any one else get stuck in the last part of the illumination chamber?
Had to clawjump to the exit
It didn't do that for me
Or
I got stuck in the last part without the key and was unable to go back
But I'm pretty sure I got it
there's a switch that needs the silver key
I'm at work now but I'll check later
maemaes
Off yikes Amid Evil Episode 4 is so good. Only - will the anime content get a takedown flag from Valve? 

:')
Does anyone know if rocket jumping (Planet jumping) is required for some of the secrets?
i think there are some where it's required, a full health pickup in e3m2 is coming to mind right now where it's just above you in the open ceiling in a small hallway, no other way that i could see up to it
Was in a giant blue downward spiral where the was a megahealth e1m3 I think I used planetjumping to get up, but there probably is a legit way
No you have to planet jump to get there
Aight, sweet. good to know!
ok I found a small glitch and this time it's not my own incompetence
I'll post the sceenshot in the spoilers
@sand lintel there is a way to that secret btw
huh lol, from the way it's positioned i've just always assumed it was just a planet jumper secret
@humble nebula I had that happen to me yesterday, I was freaking out.
prob has to do with the distance their projectile spawns from their model
WELCOME BACK, CHAMPIONS AMID EVIL Episode 4: The Solar Solstice is available NOW. https://youtu.be/4DykvG4BWMA You'll face NEW enemies. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/QuaintSecretCrustacean-max-14mb.gif https://thumbs.gfycat.com/HopefulMatureBedlingto...
be sure to like comment subscribe euheuheuhe
It seems like through the trailers at the start of the first one and solar solstice that winding hallway is a continuation and maybe hinting to a further Episode possibly 6 or 7
๐ค

๐

Wait so maybe the lore experts can explain this to me... The solar sect is evil for only striving to kill members of/defeat the moon sect, but we went in and completely butchered the entire moon sect in the first episode. How are we the good good guys in this scenario again?
The argument could be "the moon sect has also been influenced by the evil", but why would it then be so bad that the moon and solar dudes want to kill each other?
Haven't done my homework on the lore at all, so please go ahead and rip my argument apart ๐
well i mean we're killing bad guys so that makes us good guys, right? :U
also technically, the moon sect also hate the sunbros
they're all Eviled Up(tm)
and it's mostly because of the Evil Corruption(tm) that we have to go kill the bad guys with great badassitude
bwooouuuum
i think ae guy goes on the logic of "the enemy of my enemy is my enemy"
"my enemy is my enemy and the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy but what about the friends of my enemies or the enemies of my friends?"
"probably also enemies, fuck them"
It seems like we are killing the good force, thing is they've just been corrupted and are being used with malicious intent.
and we relish the chance for a kerfuffle
one day i will have to make a game with "kerfuffle" in the title
anyhoo, i suspect more answers will lie in the coming episodes
or maybe not :V
leon laying out a trail of breadcrumbs leading to a slightly larger breadcrumb
Just started EP4 - you dudes did a wild job with the skybox alone. I'm a sucker for stuff like that.
Yeah skyboxes are fine xD
only you would spend the 5 minutes to fly out to the skybox lol
loool
the skyboxes look deceptively good from a distance BUT ON CLOSER SCRUTINY...
Leon slacking on those skies... For shame!!!
yeah, now that the NDA's up, I can finally go on about how much I liked the skybox in the new episode and how it progressed with the levels
(that's not spoilers, right?)
not really
This moment was absolutely glorious... my 8 year old daughter loves this mace... she's kind of sick minded as well as her father
I FINALLY just got to episode 2
I'm sloooooooooooooooow but I'm so busy making Blood stuff
This game is brilliant every time I play
One day I'll get there, guys, I'll get there
The time to make these levels
has to be ridiculous
Some of the scenery and setups... its photogenic
Not really, Dave put the parental block on Subnautica for Indefatigable so we won't see a repeat of Dusk E3
Always lefthanded...when it is available... which is Amid Evil ๐
planetside has been on my list for a while
but the uhh
talk about it has been keeping me back
Good, I was worried New Blood was going to become like those webcomic artists who draw like 2 pages a year and then cry when their patreons dip below $5000 a month but act like they work so hard
yeah
but leon don't you want to shit your pants 1500 meters below the surface while some leviathan roars in the darkness beyond your sight
@cinder mist I've been made aware and spread the holy word yes. If only the enemies shared the same dimensional inclination
But then again would they really be evil if they were 2d like our hero? Likely not.
Can I just say that the soundtrack in Episode 4 is fantastic, in particular "The Illumination Complex". Andrew truly is a wizard.
Oh and of course the level design and game itself is outstanding, but that goes without saying. ๐
tower of light combat is the best
I'm also really keen to see what 'fan made' content comes from Amid Evil. Not just (potentially) levels, but artwork, fan fiction, cosplay(?), etc.
Which lets be fair are the best memes.
Also im scared to ask if the question in regard to fanfiction is in reference with something to do with dusk...
Question: Obviously the game draws influence from Heretic and similar titles. But does it draw influence from any non-digital sources? Like did you guys have a D&D campaign you pulled some of the 'fluff' from or was there a particular novel or movie that influenced some of your design?
As for 'fan fiction' I imagine an obvious one would be a 'prequel' story of how our hero obtained the Axe from the Black Labyrinth.
Little bits of everything?
Not sure if working as intended. When you acquire the 'Flight Powerup' and enter water, you can't fly again when you leave water.
huh where abouts would that be
The Illumination Complex still. I also managed to get off the level and then fall down through the bottom forever by flying (probably) to somewhere I wasn't suppose to.
I hear a 'flapping noise' when I pickup the powerup so I'm perfectly fine with accepting my 'wings' got wet. ๐
send me a pic of where that was so I can fix it:P
I'll post it in the spoilers chat in a moment as it's linked to a secret.
sure
@buoyant phoenix - Oh boy! You were right. The level design is amazing as well.

chur chur, shot level bro
How can i change bindings?
Escape -> Options -> Input -> Change Bindings
yeah but its doesnt work for me
when i click still cannt change anything
Och wait its working now. Thx lol
๐
Have the new enemies from ep 4 been placed into Hordes of evil?
fkye KEEEEEN
Aw yiss
yeah it was pretty much at its most basic
awesome!
NEW MAP?!?!
yeah
Will it have the same artstyle as the first one?
no
YES
I'll dig up a pic
Radical.
Mathematical.

Anybody know why this game is soo good?
I put it down to all the crack I smoke
artisanal organic crack
Fair
yeah
hand-made by gnomes
Just finished Episode 4. โค
organic artisan free trade crack
it's 100% vegetarian fed
Suppose to be reviewing other games. Spent all day playing Amid Evil. #NoRegrets
no added hormones or steroids or antibiotics
you guys said multiplayer/co-op's not 100% ruled out though you can't worry about it right now right?
I wouldn't count on it
it might happen, but the game was never designed with MP in mind
just saying, should you become wildly successful
oh yeah if we got money I'd just pay someone to do it
using your hobbit gold
maybe in a sequel at least
because these weapons and the soul mode mechanic are just screaming to be used in deathmatch
I believe the OST will be a DLC at launch of the full game.
Am also very keen for it.
Please add lootboxes
KEK
mp3's fine unless you have superhuman hearing
yeah most songs are fine with them
I find cymbals the most noticeable thing with mp3s, they tend to sound 'blurry'
pls
I changed my mind
no
fickle be the winds of leon's heart
aye
Just had one of the grunt enemies fall into the water in the first area of the first level. Everyone has water breathing huh?
yeet
you say that
but this was actually notable enough to get posted on the indefatigable twitter 2 people read
(the 2 people are leon and simmo btw)
yeah it's them showing off their game at some place thing
simmo's not doing anything
at most you could make fun of his stache but tbh he's pulling it off
subversive ๐ค
if someone meme exploited all my photos of me smiling in front of a tv I don't know what I'd be
maybe I do

Well IM is okay, we all hope they won't fuck up the rest of the game
as for Apocryph....

Ion and Dusk sound both great too
I never liked Duke Nukem but IM got my attention
tell me one thing, is this the peak of my life? is everything after AMID EVIL downhill?
you can't really top a planet launcher honestly
unless Amid Evil 2 has a galaxy launcher or something
universe launcher, every time you shoot it gets bigger
until shooting knocks you back against a wall and the wall kills you

Hey i got one question. How do steam sales work, from a creators point of view?
let's say summer sale or every other sale
are they going to notify you if you want to put your products on sale
Is that how it works? I always thought it was just a little modifier you set that goes off when a sale happens, like all those games you see marked down every other week.
huh
I mean developers have full control of when their games go on sale
and if they want to participate in big sales
So you're telling me that the creators of those Ugandan Knuckles fidget spinner games actually have to manually set their shovelware shit to go on sale for $0.19 every other week? Wow ๐คฃ
This is simple "Doodle Jump" like casual game. Become Ugandan echidna find princess, upgrade yourself in store, avoid enemies. Have fun! Click! Click! Click!

@plucky isle Sorry I didn't answer, I was discussing with some transphobic trash on facebook. I'm playing on Hard difficulty
Ah that's okay dude
Try searching harder, and you may find a harder difficulty... @tacit oasis
nah, it's already hard enough for now. I don't wanna ruin my first time!
oh shit that's like the peak of innuendos

i think the sale is all weekend iirc
sale ends Monday at 10am!

@wheat yarrow while i like your work on dusk, the general theme of just heavy stuff always going down. i feel like your work has really been 10/10 with amid evil
just bought the game today and its super atmospheric gives me unreal vibes
great stuff
@wheat yarrow Do not believe him. Ur music is garbage 
Agreed, although I gotta say that I prefer the DUSK OST a bit more.
The Quake-esque mix of eerie and metal tunes inspired by the greats is just amazing.
Or... you know... what VIscont said...
๐
I'm glad AE has a different musical motif than Dusk. It would be kind of repetitive if both games were metal as fuck.
Definitely. Both soundtracks are great for their games.
That said, I'm very happy that one of them is metal as fuck though.
Buy a burger with that money. A good one.
AE's defs gonna last longer than a good burger though ๐ 
And it features at least the same amount of viscera๐ค
Gotta try new things. AE was da new thang and I loved doin it
Glad yall dig em both


I saw some weeb on another site trash Western "ambient" game soundtracks and the Zimmer style. It made me laugh because all I could think of was this 
Don't ever let the haters get to you man, AE's soundtrack is truly amazing.

Congratulations Grizzly.
Congrats!
@night ginkgo good stuff, just finished the 4 episodes. was a bit surprised how it was 2-3 levels and a boss
but i can imagine with all of the worlds and such, its not gonna feel quote on quote "short"
hell yeah cant argue with that, i love the idea of just jumping worlds and exploring different areas frequently. reminds me a bit of quake with the chambers just on overkill here
and i can imagine its what takes a bit of time? creating all of these different worlds with their own style and such
lore
etc
enemies
actually the first feeling i got from when i played amid was spyro for some reason lol, the whole jumping through portals and what not
they even have a sort of chime to them
showing the world you will be going
so yeah good shit amid evil devs
yeah it takes a while but we're already about 50% thru the next ep
great to hear
since q isnt being used for anything in game if im not mistaken, could it be used as the key to activate the power up soul thingy?
i feel like i have to run around and think hardly when to use my overcharge whenever i play, cant shoot enemies or else it activates
yeah we're gonna make it an option
the game isn' meant to be played like that but hey
O P T I O N S

GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
@plucky isle english plz

Rekt
heyo
Hi there
before I start writing, should I report bugs here?
Steam forums is the place for bugs
silly bugs froma silly game
silly bugs from a silly game from a silly dev
Whoa
thanks <3
I love a good shill tweet.
mmmmmm
SPOILER ALERT!!!! 4th Episode play-thru on hard for AMID EVIL - a Doom / Heretic / HeXen-esque FPS Published by New Blood, created by Indefatigable. Look for...
dammit
secret hunting is a lot harder when the sun is glaring into your monitor and makes you blind in dark areas
"lmao inde-fe-guf... I can't pronounce it"
also this haunts me
is there something back there or is that just an oversight
e1m1 btw
it's a gap in the geometry
guess I wasn't anal enough with my eyes
I have a list of stuff in that level to fix
will get round to it some day

yep
*cheap kiwi walls.JPG
wait a second
is that a motherfucking texture misalignment? 0/10 would not recommend on /newstuff
where
nah I was just joking
lmao
yeah trim
Tell everyone to look on top of the tower on e4m3
I love how when the shield guys reflect your stuff back, it changes color. AND how u can then shoot your own reflected projectiles out of the sky.
Does soul mode voltride only ever reflect back at you or can you angle it to hit others with it?
I'd imagine due to the ai locking you it would only come back
Damn. Wanted to pull some sick reflection kills
if reflected projectiles are evil projectiles, shouldn't we have reflecting dudes in every episode and not just this one?
that way we can truly be amid evil
What if every episode was covered in mirrors so you can be surrounded by the true evil. Yourself
John gotted his azure staff
And solarized the moon units
If we ever get SDK tools I'd like to see AE with ps1 style texture sets
I think the obvious question here is "Isn't that what we have, basically?"
No these textures are crispy even if pixelated
I wanna make levels hehe
we wanna make that happen, it's just stupidly difficult
Yeah understandable
I mean, weren't PS1 games pixelated too? I guess normally less noticably so because they tried to hide that and embrace it, plus they were a bit higher rez
Unless I'm going insane and PS1 did have texture filtering, which is entirely possible, I haven't touched any in a good while
Pixelly but so low res that it blurred when put onto models
it did both
Like tomb raider or harry potter that pretty much used an attempt at realistic faces and scaled them down to then be wrapped onto low poly
Yeah.
the other thing is it was played on CRT TV's which smooth a ton of details
seriously
Gotta love those weird vertex handling things.
stuff looks great on CRT compared to LCD
With the weird distortions and texture mapping issues.
like final fantasy 8 etc on a TV looks fantastic
Yeah, I was gonna say, being low rez doesn't make them blurry alone
on a pc it looks like ass
the low rez and CRT does
or most of the screenshots you'd find online etc are upscaled and forced filtering
old console games on a nice CRT with like s-video/component input is fuckin ๐
the CRT sorta fades between pixels too rather than on/off pixels per frame
which sorta feels like you have a high frame rate
And higher resolution,
Even if that illusion of higher resolution is sorta just, making things look muddy.
@night ginkgo how long have you been developing games and projects alike?
Amid evil is your first released project?
uh first game with me and simon at the helm
I worked on ROTT13, bombshell and rad rodgers
O
Huh
Bombshell is that top down shooter thing?
Or whatever it was cant remember
The superior sequel to ion maiden
Thatโs pretty cool, your a coder then? Or mapper
I do everything really heh
EVEN MUSIC? Gotem
No Andrew Hulshult does the music
^
And got who?
What, I meant like if he did everything did he also do the music and I was trying to make a uh joke
Guess it didnโt work
It didn't, but A for effort
Thanks
Are you kidding me
Who needs help with making games anyway
when you can do it all by yourself, the ultimate meta way
Leon has the infinity gauntlet of game development
Also Leon, if you make the final boss of amid evil something the size of whatever that hand holding ae dude is, Iโd love you forever
Bingo
Yeah but like
Hugh zan sized bosses are super cool
and retro FPSs need more of them
Dusk included
Absolute unit
AE final boss is just shadow of the colossus clone
Just like Darks Souls and Borderlands, woaaaaah
AE2: Shadow of Colossus Clone
during the fight an NPC comes in called Grey Iron Marcus
We make the final boss this tiny thing that takes 1 hit
But it telefrags you the moment you fire your weapon.
This is why indef is best game dev
Indy
so i just played AE on my nicer monitor and jesus christ the colours
ColorTheory
MY EYES
Beauty
ooh man this looks too goooood!
hell
If i jump in can it throw me to another spawn portal in the map?
But like chunk my health a bit
it will REBUKE you
It'll just insult me for trying?
omg yes, just generate insults when trying to enter
if you get close to it it whispers "m e m e ssss" because it's evil
That should get the game to 100%
It Reeeeeeeees at you

good work
CAKE MAN: don't get me wrong
CAKE MAN: this game is fun
CAKE MAN: but fuck is it hard
ahahaha
Ask him what difficulty he's playing on
Oh dear
tell him he's a scrub, and to 'git gud'
It's basically Dork Souls 
We've got something to disscuss
moved from spacemen discord
Wew
Gud guy gilby
I mean
Every time that they claim to have learned from their mistakes is basically trashtalking
Ah well
Ah well
I saved once or twice per level
I'm playing on medium you fuckers
and i didn't even know there was quicksave
But otherwise game is pretty fuckin' rad
great job lads

yous are both kiwi too
was going to use a spacemen emote but theres none on here >:v

twitch bits
And these.
cake_man shouted 10 000 bits! 


"We're going to be giving you an option to fire Soul Mode with a new key (YOU WIN, NERDS)"
๐ค
What if they had it so that when you had this option active it would secretly put the game on evil difficulty
Its about time
^
game bout to get lots easier
That's why they should put my idea into action
@urban quiver not really, you'd get it so often anyways the problem was you'd sometimes be left on awkward moments where the thing is useless.
That does bring up the fact though I do think you can attain it a tad to easily
you get soul mode so many times
now that u can trigger it its gonna be heaps easier
If it does get easier I'm sure the game can get rebalanced
It's an option
And comes with a warning
Because it's not the way the game is meant to be played
Well then
Either way I feel the game on the whole could do to be harder anyways but ๐คท
I can make a cheat that sets the players hp to 1 :P
amid evilmare
True evil mode
Aereyoukiddingme
As long as it's an option, it's ok. Because you're pretty much unstoppable while Soul mode is on.
imagine evil difficulty, axe start, 1hp
Hhhmmmm.... Will Amid Evil have mod support and fanmade levels in the future?
unlikely
Yo make it disable achievements or something... or slap the player with some kind of derogatory message... people should feel embarrassed about binding Soul Mode to another key. :p
Or just make the cheat code AESCRUB
@versed violet I would definitely try that. "Try" being the operative word here, I already got my ass handed to me playing on DUSKMARE diff in Dusk.
Go watch @FrankHowley stream AMID EVIL on behalf of @mega64 and the gang \o/ https://t.co/BVfa2cHozo
@quasi pier amid evil needs a boost across the board but I think its more just episode 1 for dusk that needs a rebalance, episode 2 is fine and whilst obviously episode 1 is the introductory and it needs to be easier and introduce the players to the mechanics I feel the divide between e1 and e2 in difficulty is a little to far a leap.
Still though I do applaud the accessibility of the easiest difficulty I think thats fine.
eh
you forget not everyone is good at these games
too easy is better than TOO HARD
AE on Hard and Evil is NOT easy for most people
even medium isnt
And DUSK has CM and Duskmare
we'll prob make some changes to ep 1
but nothing major in terms of difficulty
Hard is reasonable, Evil is quicksave bonanza. Especially with warrior mode on.
a good way to turn people off from your games immediately is to make them too hard
yeah I mean if it was up to me Evil and Duskmare would have no saving
only level select
I mean I play all our games on medium Intruder/Warrior mode for balance
because thats whats intended at any time
anything easier or harder is player choice
I wouldn't mind not being able to save on Evil, actually
I mean, you actually have to go out of your way to play in that difficulty
@dire briar I get that but I was referring to cm on dusk thats the only thing I play
@ El Oshcuro the problem with making these types of games too easy is that you're bound to piss off the Hanks of the world ๐
I guess you can have some Ironman-like checker and you can't save mid-game or something
Amid Evil Backstrafe Only Any%
just as an fyi DUSKMARE and EVIL difficulties are like Nightmare on Doom. It's there for a meme, not actually intended to be as the most viable way to play the game
It went swell
Aye Nightmare existed because people complained that UV was too easy
So...
don't even talk to me unless you can NM 100% doom with arrow key controls
theres always gonna be those people
but they will always be in the minority
for MOST people, Hard will be enough
hot take: nightmare mode is poop, ultra violence + fast monsters is better
hell, we hide Evil for a reason
Evil really is a kick in the pants after playing hard for the first time
I mean hey it could have been worse
"wtf new blood amid evil has too many polygons to be historically accurate"
^you say that...
besides color theory
ae hasnt gotten much about graphics
and coincidentally, dusk hasnt gotten complaints about graphics either
DON LIKE DUSK PLAY AE
I remember reading up a preview from a small site that very much shit-talked the visuals
I was suprised by how nice AE looked when I first played it
That was a good meme
@lofty thistle it was polygon wasn't it
Its got this weird thing where the game looks really fucking good but the graphics still have a pseudo-retro feel
its hard to describe
I can't remember the specifics but they found it offputting
reminder dusk looks like that both on purpose and because david isnt an artist
AE was kind of an acquired taste for me because at first I thought the normal maps made it look too much like those horrible HD mods for Quake 1 and 2. Fortunately it looks much, much better when you're actually playing it and not watching a crunchy PAX stream
plus its his first game for him
leon and simmo have been industry for awhile
so they semi-know what they are doing
david is an artist with its evolving level design
not true, David made a game about finger bones to capitalize on the youtube finger family sensation
"art"
Oh man I remember playing fingerbones
but games are art ๐ข
It felt like drugs
The backtracking was pretty bad
Especially because you're as slow as a fucking turtle
But hey I guess you gotta start somewhere
yeet
took david a bit to hate walking sims
but now he does
and made a retrofps
and guess what
now he hates retrofps
Edith finch is the only good walking sim
tune in next time to see what david hates next
Got too close?
nah
it's not surprising that david hates retrofps considering what his all-time favorite example of it is
lol
anyway
#dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk or get things back on topic
much appreciate
one last thing: it's a shame UE4 has no modding support. I would've loved to see what would happen if David made a fanmade level for Amid Evil and vice-versa
An amid evil level with the design principles of Dusk would be really interesting to see
don't think leon and simmo could do the same though
i mean
we are always offered to make stuff in ae
dunno if i should be talking about that
but uh, maybe one day there will be a bonus ep on stuff built from NB staff
CONJECTURE THO
DONT TAKE THAT 100% SERIOUSLY
(I'm joking I feel the need to just assure everyone that I am because I feel like some people are going to take me seriously)
Knowing this server at least one person will take me seriously
my last message actually got eaten
this isn't the steam forums, I said
real talk: that one guy who didn't know coffee makes you have to shit...really opened my eyes to how old a lot of the people on there really are
@hidden dune daikatana is a good game.
why would anyone do that
I know its only a small indie title produced by a company everyone hates but give it a chance
i'm not convinced
you didn't pass the shill test
brb getting the admins to reset your rank
Do it
i could but i'd prolly get yelled at
Reset me and i shall become more active than you can possibly imagine
24/7 AE shillposting
he will post so many intellectual amid evil memes, and will spam every members inbox with steam links.
lmao intellectual memes
I'll get more pics of leon when I'm in nz to make some epic leonposts
well... I had a haircut so I look normal now
cool come see behind the scenes

I can't remember the last time I've witnessed someone use the word "drat"
it's honestly a bit weird to me
If we come check out behind the scenes can we tag a wall in game with a message
yep
Sick coming
museum of leon now open for business
lmao
My favourite exhibit is 'pile of takeout boxes' circa ep4 release
as it is behind many traps and solid stone slabs for protection, archaeologists have yet to uncover Leon's repository of memes
papyrus scrolls in the antechamber indicate their dankness
how did you know about the takeways
Chinese food is too damn good
Agreed

Leon's favourite hobby is getting Chinese takeaway at midnight.
yep
Hey, @night ginkgo, maybe someone has told you about this bug, but the statues in Episode 2 don't count towards the destructible object count for some reason.
so im about to buy amid evil anything i should know before hand?
start with medium
this game is very unforgiving on the higher difficulties
get used to the controls and layouts before tackling hard or evil
also, to defeat enemies, keep attacking them until they die
in case of voltride, keep attacking after they die, because it's nice
Also contrary to popular belief dave lied about there being hot single demons in the game.
yes
ah
well time to start playing
still have to buy it too
so what difficulty is hordes of evil on?
framerate is a little jumpy
really bad in the hub
but everything else game is kick-ass
try capping the framerate or turn on vsync
usually fixes frame issues
We'll be merging meshes in the hub when the game is done so it should run faster on release
alright have both on already but thanks about replying about the hub
Keep shillin'
Anyone else find it finicky to get out of water in ae? Experienced it a bit during my first playthrough yesterday.
yeah you gotta just hold W towards the ledge
i don't know if you have to hold space or not
It was painful trying to get out of water before Ep4 came out
Yeah the W at the ledge method works, thanks. I was operating on minecraft water logic lol.
Sooo they have improved
Just from a first playthrough ep 4 has some of the best levels yet imo. Excited to see what's next! 
Classic nb, I should've know better.
yeah
Yeah the unique enemies help to introduce more interesting conflicts as well compliment the powerful level design!
Its a pain yes
Certainly room for improvement with swimming mechanics, yeh.
uhhhhhhh
i've spotted a
bug?
when you kill earth elementals with aeternum they bleed
L I T E R A L L Y U N P L A Y A B L E
also i might be nitpicking but in the map called journeyman's way, at the end of the map you have a 3 button sequence in order to access the exit
third button doesn't say sequence completed
๐ค
kinda wish the celestial staff was more powerful
and Evil difficulty makes it less useful due to how fast enemies are and you just always end up clipping your self with the splash
pre-evil the claw can 1 shot a bunch of annoying shit with direct hits, notably those shield guys in E4
And its soul mode is one of the better ones
evil is supposed to be unfair
thats not unfair thats just limiting options
I'll take a look
I dunno, I've got a fair amount of use out of it in Evil
It's not really unfair, just requires some good reactions
Obviously like, less so in E4 with green guys, but still
Just got AE as a birthday gift, now I'll finally be able to lurk this chat :B


"Having options" shouldn't mean you can just simply stroll with one weapon and expect to steamroll through the game
Different weps for different situations
Obviously using the Claw on enemies who like to bumrush you is a BAD idea, think of the Lost Souls in Doom, and how trying to pick them off with the RL would often end badly

Andrew should put more AE tracks on Youtube
