they shouldn't as much
#amid-evil-or-hunt-showdown
night ginkgo
urban quiver
they used to get stuck in the spawn portals last time i played
night ginkgo
if they do they'll wait a little bit and then try find you a different way
urban quiver
haven't noticed that now
versed violet
Ahh ok
night ginkgo
yeah that issue with them getting stuck in spawn should be fixed too
versed violet
Can't wait to give it a go asap
urban quiver
i forgot how hard hordes is compared to DUSK
pseudo moss
yeah im getting wrecked lol
urban quiver
especially now with the potato dudes
urban quiver
yeah it is
night ginkgo
you can pretty much keep soul mode on all the time in the later waves
urban quiver
health spawns would be a blessing
buoyant phoenix
Ok so when you enter an arena it's gonna say "hordes of evil" or "hordes of evil-sacred" in orange text but if you press "restart level" after dying it will show "hordes of evil" in red text
night ginkgo
aeomg it up then
plain grail
I woudlnt say hanging back but e2m3 floating eyeball clusters are coming in and then backing off again when i try to hit them
night ginkgo
coming right up to you?
buoyant phoenix
Also I just got the main menu music as a track lol
pseudo moss
dude the new AI is wild
winged ibex
Tis good.
buoyant phoenix
It's just the the corrupted spirits' track has a weird intro
night ginkgo
chain lightning no not nerfed
buoyant phoenix
unless it goes from randomized track to another randomized track
plain grail
just feels like it doesn't spread as easily
night ginkgo
there's random tracks, but there's only 4 per level
plain grail
luck of the draw maybe
night ginkgo
it wasn't nerfed, some enemies can survive it
my tactic is to shoot easy enemies with it
regal apex
yee
night ginkgo
blyat the bastards
plain grail
that was alway the tactic yes but it felt like it could wipe rooms more easily before, now it seems a bit more limited, again maybe just false perception or dumb luck
also no enemies coming right up to me but maybe ten feet away or so
i feel like they hsould hang back even further
more ambush than aggression
but that's just one man's opinion
night ginkgo
it's easier in singleplayer
also enemies dont' bunch up as much
so that could be a factor
plain grail
i just had an eyeball cluster scoot around the tower part in e2m3 like crazy making it harder to predict where he was moving
so maybve i'm being hasty in judgment
jesus fuckmothering christ they're flying around all over the palce
need to play this sober before i report any further impressios
*impressions
night ginkgo
goes well with drinking games m8
regal apex
btw Dusk is gettinf trading cards this week, is there any chance that we'll see ae trading cards?
plain grail
what is alternative soul mode
regal apex
yeet
devout olive
pressing a button to activate
crisp mango
is there an official AE drinking game yet
devout olive
instead of firing
night ginkgo
yeah it's for all the people that complained
night ginkgo
you can right click to activate soul mode
buoyant phoenix
That's like way better for endless I think personally
plucky isle
^ would be cool
regal apex
I thought that they were gonna add it
night ginkgo
@plain grail yes
plain grail
neat
plucky isle
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
plain grail
i guess
plucky isle
Leon = GOD
night ginkgo
no problemo
pseudo moss
i have died more times to the pits in the new arena than the enemies :`(
plain grail
working as intended
plucky isle
wait is the new endless map out???
pseudo moss
its true its the only solution
buoyant phoenix
Definitely not
plain grail
don't feel bad, i don't even know where all 6 weapon spawns are yet
buoyant phoenix
It's randomized too
night ginkgo
@plucky isle yeah just put the beta password in steam to test it out
plucky isle
Oh shi
plain grail
then restart steam
plucky isle
what's the password?
plucky isle
oh yeah sure
night ginkgo
password is the same old meme we always use
buoyant phoenix
Leon you are practically saying it at this point
night ginkgo
yeah it's fine
someone actually leaked the solar beta believe it or not
it ended up on torrent sites
devout olive
lolwot
regal apex
Leon is probably the only dev who I've seen people telling them to git gud at his own game
Wot how?
devout olive
wonder who
plucky isle
WUT
devout olive
infiltration
tardy cove
That is just dickish
night ginkgo
well someone that dm'd me for the code
buoyant phoenix
Big deal, a very small niche plays AE
devout olive
the pure pool of testers has been diluted
night ginkgo
so one of you has betrayed me
regal apex
Im innocent
devout olive
or someone gave it to someone who gave it to someone else
regal apex
That is not unlikely either tbh
plucky isle
meh
tardy cove
Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta, folks
plucky isle
I dont even know how people ever do that
If you wanna hack NB servers\emails etc just try filling in all the existing memes as passwords. You'll definitely succeed
regal apex
^
plucky isle
There were like about 30-40 people testing stuff right?
devout olive
I'm pretty sure someone leaked the old dusk dropbox password somewhere here before
lol vis
regal apex
Ayy
pseudo moss
i don't know if this already exists (haven't seen one), but a local scoreboard would be dope for endless
night ginkgo
yeah that's on the list
regal apex
plucky isle
wooo
tardy cove
Noice
plucky isle
ep 9 when
tardy cove
It's been cancelled
buoyant phoenix
Shadow of the Evil dlc when
plucky isle
wow actually a good name lol
buoyant phoenix
I mean that's just the heretic expansion but okay
plucky isle
yaeh
regal apex
night ginkgo
Black labyrinth DLC when more like
plucky isle
yAEh
night ginkgo
we need to find out how AE man got the axe
buoyant phoenix
Leon, make the bonus black labyrinth level for people who bought in ea
devout olive
black labyrinth dlc where you can use only your fists would be awesome
plucky isle
He found it in the trash bin
buoyant phoenix
But it's just a super confusing labyrinth with just black textures
devout olive
it's just mad sector level 1
night ginkgo
hahaha
regal apex
Oh boy
devout olive
OR WHAT IF YOUR ONLY WEAPON IN THE BLACK LABYRINTH DLC WAS THE STICK
night ginkgo
so I guess we have to add the stick in at some point
devout olive
black labyrinth dlc featuring the stick
plucky isle
Am I the only one here who doesn't know what the hell black labyrinth is
devout olive
read up on the lore, dork
regal apex
loar
night ginkgo
plucky isle
I read it OKAY???????
tardy cove
Dank lore is always a good read
plucky isle
OKAY??&&&!!!!!
regal apex
Uhu
buoyant phoenix
I bet he doesn't even read item descs in dark souls
tardy cove
Speaking of which
plucky isle
screw u guyz 😄
tardy cove
I think having codex entries for enemies or environments would be cool
devout olive
agreed
regal apex
Yep!
buoyant phoenix
Yeah I still don't know if the knights from E2 used to be the watchers or the sentinels
Leon pls
night ginkgo
yeah that will be done at some point
when I get in the mood to write a whole bunch of shiet
buoyant phoenix
Answer me Leon
night ginkgo
the knights were already evil, so they're more infected with evil
if that makes sense
buoyant phoenix
They were evil already?!?!
night ginkgo
yeah
plucky isle
wooops
buoyant phoenix
What they seemed like the most chill guys
night ginkgo
Domain of the Sentinels - Gstone
A strongly xenophobic culture, that conquered all that they could find. The evil force manifested itself as a parastic mess of tentacles and eyes in their world.
buoyant phoenix
Ok so they were called sentinels
buoyant phoenix
Yeah I thought maybe they were called watchers and the parasites sentinels
night ginkgo
plucky isle
🤔
night ginkgo
basically means the same thing
buoyant phoenix
Yeah but old school FPS writing seems more focused on sounding cool than making any sense
plucky isle
Amid Lore
buoyant phoenix
Amid Souls
tardy cove
Well, old school FPSs usually are more focused on having you killing stuff than offering a deep and nuanced storytelling
night ginkgo
A place of thinkers and builders. They were wiped out by the forces of evil. All that remains are the traps and strongholds they left behind. Their mechanical servants still maintain their dark machinery.
lore drop for the metal world
plucky isle
and that's GOOD @tardy cove
tardy cove
Didn't say otherwise
plucky isle
wow sounds cool
buoyant phoenix
Also makes sense for the xenophobic dudes to worship purity (is this too rule 1?)
proper oxide
wheres the episode based off of japanese cartoons, leon
plucky isle

ep5 is taking so long because of the voice acting
night ginkgo
yeah I got joseph joestar to voice all the enemies in ep5
they all say OH MY GODDDDDDDDD
buoyant phoenix
But Leoooooooon

we found the actual voice actor for Sans Undertale

They're constructs

I can wait that long
gilded yarrow
are the big knights from ep1 and 4 supposed to show up on endless
because i havent seen any of them on either map
buoyant phoenix
I guess they appear later in the waves
night ginkgo
yep
night ginkgo
soon lele
gilded yarrow
playing through ep1 and the ai improvements are really nice
fights feel more involved now
night ginkgo
regal apex
plucky isle
Waitress' Blush
gilded yarrow
has anyone managed to get to wave 10 without cheats yet
gilded yarrow
its way harder
gilded yarrow
its enemies from all 4 episodes on both maps
tardy cove
Flying rock faces in endless mode has to be a nightmare
tardy cove
Ammo is scarce in endless, 
is even more scarce
plucky isle
hoooly fuck dudes
the game feels 3x times better with all those new features
Actually it feels better and better after each new update
regal apex
woeful saffron
How do you get into the beta for it?
proper oxide
oh really?
gilded yarrow
ye
woeful saffron
Oh awesome! I'll get right on that
plucky isle
The only thing I personlally don't like now is new Mace sprite
tardy cove
They changed how the mace looks? I guess it needed to indicate better which kind of mana it uses
gilded yarrow
i didnt even notice it had changed until i looked it up
the only difference is that it leans to the left instead of to the right
or the other way around i guess
tardy cove
Alrighty then
plucky isle
The old one was better imo
regal apex
REEEEEEEEEEE
gilded yarrow
whats the best way to kill the shield guys in ep 4
there doesnt seem to be a pattern to when they deflect
vestal palm
The sword generally makes short work of enemies, I would suggest using that or the celestial claw, which insta-kills them iirc.
plain grail
but seriously though i'm digging all the little AI tweaks it's very obviously not just the ranged dudes
gilded yarrow
the spears can still damage you if you step on them when theyre in the ground
plain grail
melee guys are a lot lighter on their feet it feels like
gilded yarrow
ye same
plain grail
they dodge a lot more
plain grail
and the green jumpy dudes in e4 are scrappy as fuck now 👌
oh they don't just rush
they jump around like crazy
they surround you
THEN they rush all at once
gilded yarrow
the ai has made ep1 super super fun
since the ranged enemies actually hang back
and you have to dodge a lot more projectiles
plain grail
ep4 is even more intense now
swarm of flybois forced me to retreat while greenbois where coming in
forced me to retreat is not something that happened before
even against swarms of angry mooks
gilded yarrow
ep 3 has been improved a lot too
the golems arent as bullet spongey and the shadow monsters have the improved ai
honestly i prefer ep3 to ep4 now
i never really liked ep4
woeful saffron
Have the Soul Butchers been updated?
gilded yarrow
soul butchers
are they the purple guys in ep4
idk the names of the enemies in ae
tardy cove
The ones with big honkin swords, yes
woeful saffron
Yeah
plain grail
they need a buff imo, still kinda slow and easy to stunlock
woeful saffron
Have they been buffed at all in the new update?
plain grail
they need to be as fast as the halberd boiz
gilded yarrow
theyre just like the guys that fire red beams in ep1 except with more health
plain grail
and their projectile needs to be faster
woeful saffron
Yeah, they don't do much other than just seem intimidating the first couple times
plain grail
i wasn't intimidated at all once i saw that slow as hell windup
i axe them sometimes for funsies
gilded yarrow
i think the actual projectile itself needs to be more interesting
like the big knights in ep 1 that fire 5 beams at once
woeful saffron
Well the appearance and introduction was intimidating but then yeah they're weak
gilded yarrow
ehhh
plain grail
then those guys would be terrifying
gilded yarrow
bouncy would add a bit too much luck into the equation
and that episode already has enough rng with the shield guys
woeful saffron
Maybe a stomp attack and different range attack
plain grail
i disagree, more strategery
don't get into a place where the bounce is death
regardless of what leon does they need something
tardy cove
Those already do +25 hp on hit, I dont think they need more damage
gilded yarrow
so spend like 2 minutes luring it back into a more open area
that doesnt sound fun
plain grail
i think they do need more damage because the projectile is so damn easy to dodge right now
tardy cove
Then make the projectile harder to dodge
plain grail
¿porque no los dos?
tardy cove
Because 30 hp per hit is already overkill
gilded yarrow
ehh i wouldnt make it both
tardy cove
since many times you don't face them alone
plain grail
make looking at one of them kill you instantaneously
start every level looking at five of them
woeful saffron
I feel that the attack/slash needs to be iterated upon, maybe add another one and make it left to right or up to down in terms of slash movement
plain grail
then they follow you into hell and make fun of you while you're being tortured for eternity
"quit eternally damning yourself, quit eternally damning yourself"
plain grail
shield guys are fine as they are
gilded yarrow
hhh i really dont agree
plain grail
what needs nerfing?
you can already slice them with the edge of the whisper's edge no problem
they're really bad at bouncing back planets
plain grail
and crystal shards just stick in their shields but headshots still crucify them
stop using blue mana on them
gilded yarrow
i dont
tardy cove
They're what make ep 4 fun imp
plain grail
they laugh at blue mana
tardy cove
imo
gilded yarrow
i use the planet launcher
the spears still doing damage in the ground is annoying too
plain grail
so what's the problem, that can one-shot them with splash damage at their feet/behind them
protip: don't touch the flaming spears
they are hot
gilded yarrow
ik
plain grail
ATTETNION CHAUD
gilded yarrow
i just dont like basically being pushed into using one weapon to kill an enemy
tardy cove
You can kill them easy with anything that doesn't use blue mana
not exactly pushed into one weapon
gilded yarrow
whispers edge is a crapshoot with them
it could take 2 shots it could take 5 or 6
planet launcher is the only weapon that is basically guaranteed to damage them
and star of torment they seem to block a shit ton
tardy cove
They block all, only star of torment is more noticeable since it doesn't bounce back
gilded yarrow
they dont block planet launcher like 90% of the time
with the other weapons it feels like they block it half the time or more
plucky isle
^
gilded yarrow
thats why i dont like them
and either way the spears in the ground are still annoying and kind of cheap
tardy cove
It adds to the challenge, otherwise they would be boring projectile nº 19384
gilded yarrow
i think asking the player to mentally keep track of where spears have landed and to avoid walking over them while focusing on other enemies is a little too demanding
tardy cove
I didn't have much trouble with that, personally
I got hit from time to time, but never to the point it caused major problems
gilded yarrow
well yeah it does barely any damage
tardy cove
It's still way less damage than taking the spear to the face
gilded yarrow
but i think it should be within reason for a good player to avoid any damage whatsoever
woeful saffron
imo the flames on the ground caused by the spears is a really combat-vital choice seeing how they help to alternate the arena and make it more challenging for the player to position into spots of higher interest
tardy cove
This

DON'T FORGET TO PM LEON FOR BETA ACCESS
NEW ENDLESS MAP AND UI CHANGES

ALSO EP 3 IS BETTER NOW

"ALSO EP 3 IS BETTER NOW" how can you improve perfection? 🤔
craggy cypress
@quasi pier you can improve perfection where there is none.
devout olive
Yous seem a bit divided in your opinions of ep3
plain grail
i dare
i haven't played it on the new build yet but it was by far my least favorite of the four
just becuase of the enemies though
they were a bit monotonous
but we'll see now i guess
devout olive
The boss fight was E🅱ic
plain grail
are the bosses tougher now?
i just found my first wall demons in this build and i already like them better
they're faster and more slippery
they don't just stand there while i hurl crystal shards right at their stone nutsack
wooden aurora
I like the new endless map
plain grail
okay that's a yes
lunar guardian moon door opening when he pops out is nice, and the scrounge is definitely tougher since the little heart demons are so much faster and more aggressive now
i like it
tardy cove
Played a few runs through the new endless map and yes, I can tell the new AI makes things more challenging
Which is GOOD
plucky isle
The new AI is OHGOD
earnest pasture
yooo I only just found out the devs for this game are from freaking New Zealand. Represent lads! Showcase the local talent!
night ginkgo
yep
winged ibex
New Zealand baybee!
earnest pasture
Man I was keen on the game but I just gotta buy it now haha. Support the local talent and get a great game with it!
night ginkgo
thanks mate
winged ibex
Yeah, I was surprised when I found out too.
earnest pasture
Yee
We've had a pretty good year for Kiwi game releases
Earlier this year we had Reverie on the PS Vita and PS4 which was great and now we got Amid Evil coming up
NZ is killing it this year
earnest pasture
It's still great to see the local talent growing big time
tardy cove
I can definitely confirm that running wild with the axe is no longer the best strategy against the ghosts in Ep 3, they actually hang back and take potshots at you
also:
Best cheat ever
winged ibex
Yup.
earnest pasture
Take my $24.79

wait till I make despacito mode 😂 👌 💯

Finna despacito mode.

I really do love the presentation
It's like, a great hybrid between old and new
And after just coming off playing through the first 2 episodes of dusk I'm right in the mood for more fps goodness
winged ibex
Yeah, low fidelity PBR is great.
misty owl
👌
earnest pasture
Nothing beats a good classic FPS game
winged ibex
Neat fact, the weapon "models" are actually, sprites.
earnest pasture
I mean, I never grew up with these old school fps games but that doesn't change the fact that I love em to god damn pieces
winged ibex
Seriously, the view weapon sprites, are in fact, sprites with like, normal mapping and such.
winged ibex
Yup.
night ginkgo
defo
winged ibex
Simmo is a Technical wizard.
gilded yarrow
how do the sprites work
earnest pasture
This is when Kiwi Ingernuity is taken to the extremes
tardy cove
10/10 would blow the earth up again
winged ibex
Well, they're pre rendered normal, albedo, roughness and metallic maps that're applied to a flat plane.
But yeah, the way planets work is pretty nifty too.
night ginkgo
the planets are a flat image warped by a sphere normal
winged ibex
It's basically a flat image, that's normal distorted.
earnest pasture
god damn that's clever
winged ibex
Faking the planet rotating.
Yeah, it really is.
But there's like, pre set planet sprites and such.
earnest pasture
It's like
You could do more stuff with the engine but you purposefully put a lock on yourself and programmed like you had technical restrictions
winged ibex
There's a lot of fun stuff going on in Amid Evil's technical stuff.
night ginkgo
it's a mix of old and new
like vertex painting everything helps it look like there's a ton of detail as well

I was a big fan of Leon Zawada. I owned all his games, and all the Amid Evil merchandise.
Then one day he jumped into my room and yelled Yeet into my ear.
At 400 dbs.
My ear still hasn't recovered,

I saw Dave Oshry at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

tardy cove
dire briar
anyone on beta find any new issues?
gilded yarrow
the game crashes sometimes when i quicksave
but i quicksave a lot
i think its when the game autosaves and quicksaves at the same time
regal apex
I save 2-3 times per level

*delayed for not enough memes
plain grail
lack of memes is not minor
versed violet
More meme
versed violet
Can we talk about the ai changes in specifics or wait til public update
plain grail
AI now uses more memes
night ginkgo
you can talk now
plain grail
damn it avast scans every new build for malware and it's annoying as hell
versed violet
Okay thank you so much for changing the fucking purple mist guys
I like that they hang back more especially since the green fucks lunge at you now
plain grail
the charging made them too predictable
just line up and whisper's edge away
all the fighting is so much more fun now
which is saying something because it was fun before
pretty safe to call it now, this game is my GOTY for sure
tardy cove
Is it me or do flying enemies actively try to avoid your projectiles now?
tardy cove
Well, anything that adds to the challenge is welcome
plain grail
next update: if you die in amid evil, you die for real
regal apex
Ye please add that
plain grail
that's why FEAR's AI is so revered despite being so simple, it fucking works to cultivate the experience they were shooting for
though tbh i think some animation updates might be in order, i've seen some bigger enemies sliding around a little bit while dodging

tardy cove
I still prefer the old fashioned way, been trying the alt fire and makes things way easier, but hey
as long as its optional
regal apex
plucky isle
@night ginkgo Yes. The new mace tilting is great. We don't even need eps 5-7 now.
ThankZ!

Ahhhh, soul mode bound to a button is soooo nice
tall temple
It kinda gives the game a DMC style devil trigger. But it also makes the game easier. You weren't originally intended to have a "I win button" on tap at any given point

I'm playing on medium and it's pretty easy. Need to rocket that shit up to evil, then we'll be talkin
regal apex
Do it

Soul Mode almost always activated when it needed to be activated for me. Almost like a scripted event. The difficulty isn't up to pair yet, i only played hard mode but i always had too much mana and health at any given moment. Maybe enemies should deal more damage or smt. So having a button to activate it when you want it to activate is pretty cool
fierce nymph
I think the speed is fine as it is. Anything more and it's going into sonic annoying territory. Maybe Warrior Mode is for me, haven't touched it yet.
sand lintel
is ther a quick low down on all the weapon location changes
gilded yarrow
ep 3 weapon spots have changed
i think in the first level you get the mace instead of the sword and theres a new celestial claw
plain grail
have they? i didn't notice
oh yeah, now that you mention it, that did used to be a whisper's edge right in front of the start
and yeah that claw in the lava tunnel's new
oh
OH
i haven't tried Evil difficulty yet
oh man this is gonna be legit
gilded yarrow
ep 3 is really fun now btw
the shadow guys went from my least fave enemy to my fave with the new update
plain grail
how could the shadow guys be your least favorite enemy when the stone heads exist
those guys still need some AI tweaks, they still tend to rush/crowd you
gilded yarrow
stone head guys arent as fast and dont come in as large crowds
i think they still need to be slowed down a little though
plain grail
their behavior's the same pretty much
they're annoying because they run right up to you and the only real way to handle them is two star strikes
pretty much every other weapon isn't an option
gilded yarrow
ye
plain grail
in contrast with every other enemy i'm now switching up weapons like crazy
shadows used to be a whisper's edge shooting gallery and i used to have to wait for wall demons to spawn so i could wail on them with the star, now neither of those tactics are nearly as effective
heads? star x2
every time
plain grail
letting them get into axe range in the first place
i seriously hope you guys don't do this

Hi, there is a summer sale on steam. So would you be so kind and tell me if your game is on sale and for how much, because steam is down apparently.

just bought this one too 👌

I bought it in march if I remember it correctly 
tardy cove
Well, stone heads pretty much still have to rush you to do any damage since their range is so short, so it's understandable
regal apex
Thanks shill fam

my only problem is that odd "noise" filter thing, idk if its really a noise filter or what, but i have to set effects to low for it to go away. i wouldnt mind otherwise but its giving me a headache for some reason
I have no idea what's it called but yeah
versed violet
The grainy look?
versed violet
Is intended as far as i know. Turn up anti aliasing to remove it i think that helps
versed vector
I'll have to try that
If it's some kind of film grain effect I would highly appreciate if I could disable it separately
I wouldn't complain otherwise but yea
versed violet
I believe its just the way the materials are but the guys are mysterious and seem to make anything work
regal apex
I didn't see the film grainish effect at all lel
versed violet
I know I didn't like the grain when i started playing but it grew on me
versed vector
Visually I don't mind it at all
It looks kinda cool and gives some retro vibes
But for some reason I get headache
Am I just getting old
but everything else in this game is top notch and i love it
regal apex
Dunno
The only game where I really noticed was Farcry 3 blood dragon
It gave me a headace as well so it's not just you
versed vector
I usually disable film grain in every game I can, could be that it's why I'm not used to it
dark granite
@versed vector yeah theres no filter, thats just the pixelized normal maps
if you turn on TAA it will go away
also you might want to turn down screen flash opacity if you are getting a headache
versed vector
ah i see, thanks
versed vector
Yup, TAA helped a lot! Thanks again
