#

Just finished EP1! Already in love

#

The first boss is a complete pushover if you find the level secret :p

cinder mist
#

glad you like! ❀

regal apex
#

@steel brook It's only getting better LeonApproved

steel brook
#

I really like the lack of filtering on the textures, gives the game a very unique look

#

I have to admit that when AE was first released I was skeptical that low-res textures + modern lighting could mesh well, but I was definitely proven wrong seeing it all in 1080p

cinder mist
#

hell yeah, the videos dont do it justice

fierce nymph
#

I can't play without temporal AA. I do like the aesthetics of the game, it looks great. But there is way too much shimmering without any AA. First i disliked how much temporal blured the details, but in the end it's kinda perfect

regal apex
#

Agreed

fierce nymph
#

Also EP4 is soo gud, just finished it. Was holding back when it was released

regal apex
#

Yeah same here

#

Due to lack of time

woeful lava
#

@steel brook more like he's a pushover when you find the secret in the penultimate level. :p

#

also TIL you can kill yourself with a black hole

wheat yarrow
#

davegasm dat black hole suicidedavegasm

regal apex
#

I've missed the secret level

#

Help

plucky isle
#

To enter the secret level, you must have a soul-powered Aeturnum, create a black hole and enter it when your level time is 03:03:03

omg e3 pilgrim's temple music reminds me of diablo 2 soundtrack

woeful lava
#

you just released amid evil

#

okay

tardy cove
#

Episode 3 has a very atmospheric soundtrack. The stand out for me is the music in the Journeyman's Way (E3M1). When I said earlier that Mr. Hulshult should put more tracks in YT, that track is the one I had in mind.

versed violet
#

Uh oh you heckin dummies, you just released amid evil.

@ dave to get it cancelled

steel brook
#

Take the new blood challenge, @ dave oshry 12 times in a row to win instantly

versed violet
#

Prize includes getting bullied by jab

vocal ingot
#

Prize also involves getting a mute, so you'll have to just take being bullied by jab

versed violet
#

Fighting back just prolongs it so a mute would actually help

What if we muted you and set shillbot to @ you regularly, so nobody forgets?

Oh.

lmao we may do a box at some point

#

it's just there needs to be a demand, they cost a lot to make

winged ibex
#

Yeah, boxes do cost quite a bit.

regal apex
#

And ship right?

winged ibex
#

Especially because of the cost of shipping and um, ink.

night ginkgo
#

you have to
Buy the box
Print the box
Make the box
Put stuff in the box
ship the box

winged ibex
#

Printer ink is more expensive than regular ink πŸ€”

night ginkgo
#

and there's minimum ordrers for boxes/printing

winged ibex
#

Yeah.

#

That's very true.

urban quiver
#

Ive been watching too much LGR

#

Sp much so that ill probably buy the DUSK boxed copy

night ginkgo

LGR is a good man

regal apex

Is that gonna be a thing?

winged ibex
#

LGR is great.

night ginkgo

gilded yarrow
#

what did yall think of ep4 btw

night ginkgo
#

I liked it

gilded yarrow
#

ah

night ginkgo
#

a bit biased but yeh

#

πŸ˜›

gilded yarrow
#

just a bit

night ginkgo
#

did you like it?

gilded yarrow
#

i liked the level design but tbh i thought the enemies were annoying

#

the shield guys mainly

night ginkgo
#

what difficulty were you playing on

gilded yarrow
#

played through once on normal then again on evil

night ginkgo
#

we're still doing tweaks btw, so stuff may change

#

they block 100% on evil btw

gilded yarrow
#

o

#

it would be neat if there was one weapon they couldnt block aswell

#

so it encouraged you to switch weapons

night ginkgo
#

can't block the axe or aeturnum

gilded yarrow
#

i guess so

night ginkgo
#

also they can get 1 hit by a planet

gilded yarrow
#

green guys were annoying at first but theyre actually ok to fight once you learn their movement

#

rest of the episode was good

night ginkgo
#

next episode has insane shit

#

seriously

plucky isle
#

INSANE SHIT WOOOOO

#

Forges i presume?

gilded yarrow
#

neat

night ginkgo
#

yeet

#

I have a guy that fires saw blades

gilded yarrow
#

ooo

plucky isle
#

OH MY

#

Leonard from Redneck Rampage cameo CONFIRMED

gilded yarrow
#

ep 2 had the best enemies so far imo

plucky isle
#

nah ep4 ones are cooler

gilded yarrow
#

naaaaa

plucky isle
#

okay okay

regal apex
#

I liked the ones in ep 4 the most

gilded yarrow
#

hm

#

maybe i didnt like them because i played on evil

#

ill have to try ep 4 again on a lower difficulty

regal apex
#

I played on evil is well

#

And it never felt unfair

gilded yarrow
#

idk i just found the shield guys reflecting attacks to be annoying

regal apex
#

But I had to change my playstyle a bit

#

I guess that's fair

gilded yarrow
#

if my aim is right and the projectile hits, i shouldnt have to hope i get good rng so that it doesnt reflect

regal apex
#

Pretty easy way to deal with them is with the claw

night ginkgo
#

the sword is petty much the winner in that ep

regal apex
#

And that yeah

night ginkgo
#

or smashing a green guy with the voltride

regal apex
gilded yarrow
#

voltride is my fave weapon btw

#

once i found out you can chain kills with it

tardy cove
#

Ah, can't wait to see some Ep 5 stuff

regal apex
#

The Voltrisde was the mace with cystals on it am I right or..?

tardy cove
#

The electric trident

gilded yarrow
#

ye

#

crystal mace is a lot of fun too

regal apex
#

Ahh

tardy cove
#

The mace is called Star of Torment

regal apex
#

The crystal mace was much like the super shotgun in doom & dusk my favourite weapon

#

Ahh okay, thanks!

steel brook
#

Just finished EP2! Tough boss, scaled up fast after EP1

tardy cove
#

Ep 2 boss is easy once you find out that 1) he's weak to mace in soul mode and 2) the blobs it spawns drop souls

regal apex
#

The second boss was tough indeed

gilded yarrow
#

also once you get good at dodging his jumps

#

ep3 boss was just

#

idek

tardy cove
#

Ep 3 boss can't land a hit if you move in circles

regal apex
#

He can easily be beaten if you stay right in front of him

tardy cove
#

Not circle strafe, but move in small circles

gilded yarrow
#

tbh i didnt even know if i was damaging it

regal apex
#

Ahh I see

gilded yarrow
#

and i havnt replayed ep3 yet because its my least favourite

tardy cove
#

Since it predicts your movement and aims where you're gonna be

#

I like it, very serious sam-esque in terms of looks

regal apex
#

Ep4's boss is the coolest but also the easiest for me to be honest

gilded yarrow
#

thats ep1's boss for me

#

looks neat and has a neat arena but is easy

plucky isle
#

The bad thing about 1 2 3 bosses - they lack some interesting attacks

gilded yarrow
#

ye thats an issue dusk has aswell

#

bosses just have 1 or 2 attacks

regal apex
#

Episode 1's boss was really neet

#

But easy as well yeah

#

And the the boss in ep 2 just annoyed me because I missed half of my shots haha

#

But hey that's my own fault BIGJOHN

tardy cove
#

Well, I'd say Ep 1 boss is supposed to be easy, being the first of seven and all

gilded yarrow
#

ye

plucky isle
#

He is, but not THAT easy lmao

proper oxide
#

I think people forget that ep1 is supposed to be ez

#

Same for dusk

#

Smh roguelikes have ruined genres

#

Cause everything has to be hard now

steel brook
#

Iunno man, I played on hard on my first playthrough and I don't even think he got more than one attack out before he died

plucky isle
#

"Loguelikes" (C) Dave

steel brook
#

Intoxigator is the first boss of Dusk and even he's less of a pushover than AE boi

gilded yarrow
#

ep 1 as a whole isnt that easy

#

just the boss really

#

ep 1 is my fave actually

steel brook
#

I can't even comment on the EP1 boss being too easy/hard because I don't even know what his attacks are because of his itty bitty health pool

proper oxide
#

E1M1 of AE still has my favorite music

steel brook
#

Maybe I'm just lucky to have discovered the last level of EP1's secret before I fought the boss

gilded yarrow
#

i didnt find the secret my first time

#

he only has one attack as far as i know

plucky isle
#

ep1 is fine with the difficulty, the only problem there is common for all 4 eps - mana abundance

gilded yarrow
#

i didnt really notice any issues with mana

plucky isle
#

I did

#

too many pickups imo so I literally never run out of ammo

proper oxide
#

I noticed a severe lack of mesoamerican statues

gilded yarrow
#

i dont think its an issue if you dont run out of ammo personally

lone hatch
#

I've noticed a severe lack of child's macaroni art

plucky isle
#

Well I mean i am always FULL on mana stuff

#

I cant even take more

gilded yarrow
#

the ammo system is there to encourage you to use diff weapons

#

ye full ammo is annoying actually

regal apex
#

I did switch quite often tho

gilded yarrow
#

but you shouldnt be running out of it either i dont think

plucky isle
#

So that is what im trying to say

#

Yeah that was my fault sorry

#

i do not mean I have to run out of it ofc

#

The most interesting way of all that ammo stuff is when you FEEL you can run out of it, but still you can easily find another pickup. And the secret areas make you feel more steady by giving a bit more ammo etc

#

That is what we call "balance"

gilded yarrow
#

ye

#

ammo is a super difficult thing to balance tho from what ive learnt making doom levels

#

especially if you have secrets and have to accomodate for pistol starts

regal apex
#

Yupp

#

Otherwise people will just spam the bfg for example

plucky isle
#

I think one should make two "layouts" of a level in terms of ammo placement - 1 for a pistol start, 2 - for a full run

#

ofc that's theory and stuff but man that would be cool

regal apex
#

Haha yeah

#

Same could be applied for enemies

plucky isle
#

One game. Two modes. Two completely different feelings. Amid Evil. Amid Axestart.

#

Now you know what to do Leon lmao

#

consider this to be an official AE motto

regal apex
#

Axe-id Evil

#

Okay that was terrible sorry

plucky isle
#

Axed Evil

regal apex
#

Evil axe

plucky isle
#

Avil.exe

regal apex
#

Hahah

#

I must say tho

#

The axe in soul mode is satisfying as hell

plucky isle
#

..underwater xD

regal apex
#

Hell yeah!

#

Imagine if you could throw the axe tho

plucky isle
#

wew

#

whoosh whoosh whoosh SPLAT!

regal apex
#

Hahah

#

Sounds pretty accurate

plucky isle
#

ye

regal apex
#

And like a lot of fun

tardy cove
#

Axe start is the best way to play IMO. Same with intruder mode in Dusk.

regal apex
#

Sounds like an interesting gameplay modifier to me

plucky isle
#

In AE, axe start makes the game feel more balanced, in Dusk the same appliess only to ep1. But I recently found a way to keep up with the balance in ep1 - I just do not take ANY of the secret weapon\ammo pickups

tardy cove
#

Try it, its called "Warrior Mode" in the options menu

regal apex
#

That sounds cool but it also sounds like you can only use your axe

tardy cove
#

No, you can use other weapons. You just Axe start every level.

plucky isle
#

If only there was an option of a "clear" episode start...

regal apex
#

I know

tardy cove
#

I just select warrior mode after beating each boss

plucky isle
#

me too

regal apex
#

But to me it sounds like that mode only allows you to use the axe

plucky isle
#

but hey it's not supposed to be that tricky way πŸ˜„

regal apex
#

Hehe

#

What would be really cool is that your weapons are being reset as soon as you return to the hub

#

Like in Quake 1

tardy cove
#

That should be a thing indeed

plucky isle
#

yeah that's what i'm talkin about as well

#

and it should be a default scheme

#

starting ep2 with the full arsenal is...meh

tardy cove
#

Makes things easier than they should be

regal apex
#

Kind of yeah

plucky isle
#

^

regal apex
#

I like the idea of your weapons resetting after each episode

plucky isle
#

Everyone likes goddamit

#

This is the scheme of ALL "episodic" oldschool FPS

#

And honestly I can't get why Leon is so sceptical about it

gilded yarrow
#

its weird because on level select mode after you finish an episode you do lose your weapons

tardy cove
#

Probably because some people would whine about "losing their weps"

regal apex
#

Probably because they already balanced it with full arsenal in mind

plucky isle
#

@tardy cove phew, just make an option "Keep weapons after beating an ep"

regal apex
#

That could be a thing on the easy difficulty

tardy cove
#

Shouldn't be that hard, after all, they're going to make optional activation of soul mode into an option

plucky isle
#

I don't think they balaced it for Full Arsenal 'cause playing with the axestart feels MUCH MORE balanced

#

idk

regal apex
#

Hmm idk

#

The only way to really know is to ask the devs :p

plucky isle
#

yeah

#

true dat

#

@DEVS

gilded yarrow
#

tbh i think it would be better if the soul mechanic was worked into an alternate fire for weapons

#

obvs with balance changes to damage and ammo n stuff

regal apex
#

I guess that could work

plucky isle
#

Soul mode is another story ofc that causes so much debates

regal apex
#

But then every weapon would need an alternate fire

gilded yarrow
#

ye

#

the soul mode fire

#

so alt fire on the whispers edge would do the richochet fire

tardy cove
#

I don't know, I kinda prefer the way it is now, after all, you're pretty much unstoppable in soul mode, if you could just activate and deactivate it on a whim the game would be a breeze

gilded yarrow
#

ye if you left the alt fire unchanged

#

you would balance the damage and ammo it takes up so its not op

regal apex
#

I think that soul mode right now is in a pretty good place

gilded yarrow
#

i mean im not expecting an alt fire thing to happen because changes like that you make way way earlier in development

#

its too late now

tardy cove
#

Still skeptical about that, if you decreased damage it wouldn't feel as amazing or useful as it is now

gilded yarrow
#

but im saying it would have been cool

#

eh

#

its still the same ablilites

#

just less effective

regal apex
#

Hmm

plucky isle
#

The current soul mode is fine imo. Kinda pushes you to explore a level and think where you can use the powered weapons... well maybe during the 2nd playthrough

tardy cove
#

Well, I guess Leon has the last word on that, but as you say, it's doubtful he's gonna change a core mechanic at a point where 4 out of 7 episodes are done

regal apex
#

Exactly

#

En ep 5 is probably already in the making as well

plucky isle
#

No matter how many eps are done dude, the game can be cancelled any minute

#

and can be started working at from scratch

regal apex
#

As long as I can still play it in it's current state andrew2

tardy cove
#

I don't think that's gonna happen either

regal apex
#

Very unlike to be honest

#

Unlikely*

We've already said we're giving people the option to trigger soul mode

#

so you nerds will shut up about it

plucky isle

Next time when you say smth rude Dave I'll @ ya

so be careful

regal apex
#

Oof

hidden dune
#

I really hate to be that guy, but you do realize by caving into people's demands for toggling soul mode you're only catering to the kind of people that can never be pleased, right? Next they'll be asking for the ability to untoggle soul mode for muh tactical gameplay.

gilded yarrow
#

but its an easy feature to implement and having it as a choice is harmless

plucky isle
#

@devs Please give us an option to untoggle soul mode

hidden dune
#

@devs please give Leon the option to uncancel AE

regal apex
vocal ingot
#

Choices aren't necessarily harmless, if it leads to people endlessly stockpiling it and not actually using it then they're just creating a less fun experience

#

Because fuck knows that's what'd happen to me if I had that option turned on

#

But if it's happening I guess it's happening, oh well, damn nerds and their demands

cinder mist
#

you need to travel to leon's house and beg for soul mode toggle option to be unlocked on your copy of amid evil

gentle zealot
#

soul mode toggle dlc

tacit oasis
#

I actually hate not being able to turn off soul mode but I understand it's for balance

#

You don't have to like everything about a game, I still like Doom 3 except for the part where it's called Doom

hidden dune
#

I still like Doom 3 except for the part where it's not Quake 4

brave condor
#

i mean it is kinda annoying when you get full souls and you know the next room up only has a few weak enemies

#

but i think that can be fixed just by better balancing of souls

#

i always seem like i get the charge at a bad time

vocal ingot
#

I'll admit I found that a bit more of an issue in E4, though all the prior eps it felt like I was getting enough souls to just fire it off regularly enough to mitigate that, which is neat

Super secret dev screenshot hour

Nah Bigmac Condom it's just going to be an optional thing in the menu with a warning that the game was not intended to be played that way

not default

night ginkgo

yeah it's an option

winged ibex

This new patch looks exciting.

regal apex

Indeed it does

woeful saffron

Oh rad alright, choice is always nice!

Memes.

#

And a good game.

a different experience

winged ibex
#

But yeah, it's gameplay loop is different from DUSK.

crystal spruce
#

wasn't too hard to find evil difficulty, just kinda go down like quake. the question is, how evil is evil

hidden dune
#

just kinda go down like quake. Lie back and think of New Zealand?

crystal spruce
#

no it's good. It's like, it feels a little like a dungeon crawl fps hybrid, and evil is just right, the first level was a bit of a challenge and i had to play it slow almost like a souls game.

devout olive
regal apex
#

Oh yeah

void mountain
#

what is the next game of the developers?

quasi pier
#

New Blood has 2 games in early acess,too early to ask that questions

way too early to even think about the next game

they gotta finish amid evil first dude

i'll just say that we're constantly looking for new developers to collaborate with

regal apex

We'll know after Dusk and AE are done

plucky isle

They'll be never done

cancellation my dude, cancellation....

regal apex

A new game will be announced soon

Cancellation after Dusk Ep 3 and AE Ep 7 :_:

I WISH I could... The last remaining modders, code breakers, hex editors in Blood community.. I'm organizing for one grand finale, a Blood 2 remake-ish TC in Blood.. retell the Blood 2 story minus aliens and Gideon.. anyway this is more a #general-modding discussion, I'll head back down there sirs πŸ˜‚

There's a horde update coming before ep 5

New map + lots of ai tweaks

We're making new enemies for ep 5, they're pretty cool

Nah

that turned into a flying mass of tentacles if they didnt get shot in the head

buoyant phoenix
#

Well maybe the source of evil

#

Aka E7

#

And MAYBE the forges

#

But nah

crystal spruce

whats the forges about?

buoyant phoenix
#

It takes place on a planet made of iron with monsters vomiting nails at you

#

And other Sharpness related traps in the environement

The current hordes of evil map has the forge's esthetic

the tentacles dudes make an appearance in the final ep

buoyant phoenix

I know

night ginkgo
#

how

devout olive
#

hacker

buoyant phoenix
#

But how lovecraftian is the source of evil was the question

#

Well E7

night ginkgo
#

it's more of an abstract evil

#

a force manifest

#

it came from the age beyond the ages

winged ibex
#

It came from the foot lettuce in Leon's number 15 from Burger King.

regal apex
#

Nah

#

From his midnight snack

winged ibex
#

Could E7 be like, a reunion episode, where all the enemies are there in some form?

night ginkgo
#

yep

buoyant phoenix
#

Oh really?

#

And are there any new enemies apart from the boss?

night ginkgo
#

yeah new enemies as well

#

these bois should make an appearance

big hype

buoyant phoenix

The void crucifixes

Big hype.

That should be their names

night ginkgo

they were one of the first things designed believe it or not

same with the darkness minions

They have kinda the same esthetics

E5 E6 and E7 all sound exciting.

i think "Episode Seven" is a good title

or maybe "The Last One"

"The final four levels"

"The bad place with bad people"

Just make it all the lines in The Doors' "The End"

#

No paragraphs or punctuation, just a wall of text

SUDDENLY "The Nameless City"

oof

#

what if the last level of dusk was hidden in amid evil

#

that would be a real mind fuck

#

Duskdude meets the Champion. That'd be pretty boss

buoyant phoenix
#

What if it crosses over

#

And you get to play with an AE player in dusk as coop

#

And vice versa

winged ibex
#

What if, Leon makes a cameo in DUSK and David makes a cameo in Amid Evil.

buoyant phoenix
#

Also here's to hoping the final boss is a super abstract gyigas type boss

#

What if they swith around as level designers

night ginkgo

I have a name for it heh

Don't need suggestions

Here's to hoping the final boss is what Dave ate for breakfast last week.

Eh, PREY 2017 did some pretty good interiors with it.

Even if it runs like a turtle swimming through mashed potatos.

didnt it use id tech 6 or something

or a modified version of it

hidden dune
#

Actually, in my experience I've found the complete opposite to be true.

#

Dusk seems to be a lot more popular because it was announced first and because it stays more committed to its retro look. AE tries to go for a more shiny aesthetic with its normalmaps.

#

There's also the fact that AE targets the Heretic fanbase and no one under the age of 30 seems to know what the hell Heretic even is

no one under the age of 30 seems to know what the hell Heretic even is

heretic is 24 years old and it is also not fortnite so of course normies don't remember it

it's a fantasy fps

heretic is just the easiest comparison to make

#

well yes it's also pretty much the last one before amid evil apart from hexen and the sequels to both games
