So im probably totally late to the party all things considered but I just played ACT 4 and it was delicious!
fiery osprey
I especially liked how the first level played out, AND the lovely lighting
I'm really excited about the levels because they look so moody and foggy
frosty drift
ep5 really opens up compared to ep4
fiery osprey
Amid Evil has really captures each of its biomes quite well
Tell ya what though... It'd be really cool if there were visual differences after completing each chapter in the hub area
plucky isle
The weapon lighting fx are gonna get updated btw, they look waaaay better and satisfying now
fiery osprey
I really appreciated the sound upgrade and I think there were some damage buffs?
frosty drift
i'm pretty sure hub world visual changes are/were in the specs but you'll have to ask one of the AE devs for that
fiery osprey
well, might be cool if it went darker after killing the solar guardian
frosty drift
totally agreed
fiery osprey
so if you've played the next chapter... is it as dark and moody as im suspecting?
hoping chapter 6 + 7 start to get... trippy aswell
frosty drift
a few people here have access to ep 5 right now. it's in a closed beta testing phase
they've promised to be shush shush about it for now though
so you'll have to wait a lil bit
fiery osprey
haha okay I'll stop asking questions so you folks won't get in trouble
frosty drift
feedback from the testers has been almost completely positive. everyone seems to think it's a step up from ep4 ๐
fiery osprey
Is AE going to be moddable in the future? Sorry If I'm asking questions that people have already asked a zillion times
fiery osprey
I've just come back to AE after a huge Quake 1 binge (Spasmport with Arcane Dimensions)
yeah I thought as much
frosty drift
we're going to try, but for the time being the answer is probably a no
you'll want to look towards dusk if you want to get your hands deep in on a NB game
fiery osprey
Yeah, aren't they working to make it work with some of the quake level editors?
frosty drift
Yup we're building our own SDK for modding
fiery osprey
I'm probably twenty years too late, but I've got this itch to start messing around in level editors again
frosty drift
we're aiming to make the dusk sdk as simple to use as possible along with good documentation
- theres this server with a bunch of people who are gonna be modding aswell
fiery osprey
So theoretically, could some quake stuff be imported wholesale?
frosty drift
pretty much yup
fiery osprey
So Quake 2 levels... Quake 2 monsters?
frosty drift
i don't really know the extent of what's possible myself. @cursive kestrel is the guy to ask
proper oxide
i know a lot Q1 will be supported
but most of us on the team like to pretend q2 never existed so idk
frosty drift
quake what now?
fiery osprey
Oi
Do people really dislike Q2 that much? I've only encountered these sentiments quite recently
Is it the thematic change or the gameplay changes?
proper oxide
its aight, but its not a quake game by a lot of peoples standards
people wanted lovecraft again, not generic space aliens
plucky isle
Yeah screw Q2
fiery osprey
I've been playing Champions a lot recently too and I like how they've based levels off the old Q1 tilesets
frosty drift
i like the visuals and map design in QC
but absolutely despise, well... everything else

QC reminds me of AE so i hate it immediately

Well, returning to AE
I'm contractually obligated not to spill the beans, so all I'll say about ep 5 is this
It's dark, it's very, very fun, and you'll likely die a few times in your first runs

i don't know what that means

and then episode 3 just comes along and...you know
"more like episode pee" -some steam reviewer probably

I think the golems and their position in some maps is what turns people off from episode 3
I heard people complaining about the shadows, but those are easy to handle with the purple staff

they used to be ambushers
come right up to you and scratch your eyes out

Oh yeah, I heard that the early AI wasn't optimal
Didn't have the game at that time
cinder mist
its WAY better

well I just got the game last week
AI really is something else and mentioned that in the little review I left
Enemies are all aggressive in their own ways, but do not carry over some annoying stuff from unreal
like reading your inputs like a bitch
cinder mist
thanks man! glad you think so
cinder mist
it used to be artificial intellegence, now it's actual people hooked up
lmao jab
just having a good time nothing wrong with that
main spindle
but even when I think ep3 is the low point, I wouldn't call it bad or mediocre like say
lunar apocalypse in DN3D
Map design is actually my favorite in ep 3
I just love how vertical it is
night ginkgo
tranquil stream
yeah, was gonna say "eh, e3 is great wtf"
the opening room of e3m1 in particular is really friggin' awesome, with that buildup to the zigzag stairs and just how that whole area looks+feels, etc.
guess I didn't see the earlier version with the enemies though?
hidden dune
I never used to like the opening of e3 because it made my framerate shit itself
but then I played past that and OH BOY
I think atm my settings are a random mix of low, medium, high, and epic
because for some settings high looks exactly the same as epic but nets me 10-20 more FPS
dunno if this breaks the NDA, but make sure your rig is in Soul Mode for E5

And since the recent AI patch it's also pretty fun to play
night ginkgo

plucky isle
E3 is just a bit slower and easier
gilded yarrow
people hated it because the stone guys were bullet spongey and most of the enemies just b lined you faster than you could run
plus the levels dragged on a shit ton in initial playthroughs
but its all been fixed in a patch and now ep3 is one of my faves

I just find green beans super annoying when they come at you from below, and yep, I THINK THEY DO TOO MUCH DAMAGE
there isn't much... telegraphing either that they are gonna fuck you up, like say, the demon from Quake
gilded yarrow
amid evil is pretty weak with telegraphing overall
gilded yarrow
like enemies dont make constant noise like in dusk or doom
so they just sneak up on u
and the shield enemies are still garbage and i will fight u on this
lone hatch
no
gilded yarrow
ye
lone hatch
Just gotta git gud m9
gilded yarrow
peridot is very very ok
and i think its fine with telegraphing visually, just not with audio
like in dusk when the leathernecks attack they make a loud ass chainsaw noise just before they strike, or the scarecrow makes a very distinct sound of loading the shotgun before it fires
in ae they just sorta attack and the sound happens the exact moment the attack happens
tardy cove
The green guys aren't that bad, as others said they're just a nuisance
The shield guys are the ones that can fuck up your day
gilded yarrow
@main spindle do you watch su or na
ye i hate the shield guys if you couldnt already tell
almost completely ruin ep4 for me
tardy cove
Not this again, please
gilded yarrow
im not
gilded yarrow
i fucken hate archviles but i dont think they are badly designed
lone hatch
Neither are the shield guys
gilded yarrow
i think they are and i aint goin into detail why again
main spindle
@gilded yarrow I do
gilded yarrow
fucken rad
we shouldnt start talking about it here but im only on season 3 just incase you say any spoilers
gilded yarrow
theres timing to it
i tried that shit for ages and it just seemed random when they block
main spindle
Not really
gilded yarrow
if theres timing that changes it completely
main spindle
they block the first blast
and there's a brief period of time where they get staggered
gilded yarrow
but sometimes they dont block the first blast from my experience
main spindle
Time and aim well and you stick them to the wall with the second blast
the stagger always happens in my experience
but if you want to take the way that takes less ammo but is a bit riskier
use the blade
kills the shield enemies in 3 hits every time
and the counterattack only happens once
gilded yarrow
im gonna test this
i still dont think you should have to know that much about how the game works just to be able to consistently damage an enemy
main spindle
I disagree, some enemies can be obvious but its fine for others to have more specific solutions in order to be killed more easily
Like the frosts in DMC1
You can kill them with allastor, but is easier to use ifrit against them
gilded yarrow
you should be rewarded for knowing the ins and outs of the enemy, not punished for not knowing
main spindle
I'm not sure,
gilded yarrow
like pain elementals dont fucken block your shots half the time just because you didnt use a chaingun
main spindle
The shield enemies can be dealt with any weapon, I first used the axe against them for example
They punish low reflexes and attention as their counterattacks can happen quickly
gilded yarrow
thats not my point, i didnt literally mean using a specific weapon, i meant just having knowledge about the game
lone hatch
Its almost like you need to learn enemy patterns
gilded yarrow
i personally would make it that damage is still done even on a block
but if you learn the timing you are rewarded with not having to dodge the reflected projectile
main spindle
I get the point, but the shield skellies doesn't punish not knowing the game
they punish low reflexes and attention
gilded yarrow
i shouldnt have to learn the intricacies of an enemy for them to be actually fucking fun to fight
main spindle
Not sure there, fam
Bayo has the G&G boys which can be extremely punishing for newcommers as they move around a lot and are far more aggressive than any other enemy
main spindle
Yes
gilded yarrow
o
ive never played it
thats punishing but i imagine it could still be a fun challenge even to a new player
just not doing any damage to an enemy when you landed your shot isnt fun
main spindle
They block and counterattack
The block happens on the first hit almost 95% of the time
gilded yarrow
bayonetta is an action game tho, blocks and counterattacks are part of its core gameplay
main spindle
No, I meant the shield skellies
main spindle
Not really, because if they don't block, then they go down
if they block then a counter attack happens
it gets easy to read
gilded yarrow
whether you succeed in the attack or not is still tied to RNG tho
main spindle
Having a 95% success on blocking is a huge indicator of what you should plan against them
gilded yarrow
but why even have that 95% chance for them to block the first chance
having a planet being hurled back in your face should be punishment for bad play
not a 95% chance on the first hit
main spindle
Because the other 5% happens when you either shoot them when the animation to throw their spears happen, which is when they lower their shields in a non-staggered state
gilded yarrow
o
main spindle
or when you shoot them by the side
gilded yarrow
i understood you as saying it was like an actual random chance, not to do with their state
in that case its a little better but then we just go back to my point about requiring players know enemies in detail to have fun fighting them
main spindle
Nah, it just requires observation and quick thinking
lone hatch
not really having to know enemies in detail if you just pay attention while you're fighting them
gilded yarrow
ok yes let me just pay close attention to the enemies different state animations in a fast paced FPS
noticing it should be an advantage not a necessity to properly handle them
main spindle
It is possible, but I say this as someone who comes from very fast paced action games like Bayo and DMC where this is the norm
lone hatch
I'm someone who usually sucks at video games but I was able to handle them no problem
gilded yarrow
thats not my point, they arent hard
lone hatch
if you aren't paying close attention to the enemies then this isn't the game for you tbh
gilded yarrow
i actually love the game overall tho
i play it on evil
and i like the challenge
the shield guys take like 5 seconds or less to kill
but the process of doing it is unsatisfying
main spindle
And I disagree since they demand quick learning and experimentation
gilded yarrow
and no other enemy in the game needs you to pay attention to the animation frames and the timing
so if anything its inconsistent
main spindle
They can be killed with any weapon, but they go down way faster with the blade and mace
and they go down in different ways
I like that stuff
And yes and no
gilded yarrow
i just like being able to shoot a guy and then the guy gets hit
main spindle
Every enemy in the game goes down faster against a certain weapon
shield skellies are the ones that can block
gilded yarrow
but every other enemy still has a 100% chance of taking damage no matter what you hit them with
people who dont know what they are doing and use the azure orb on the stone titans are going to have a harder time but they still get the simple enjoyment of a shot hitting a target
that is fundamental to all FPS games
main spindle
Sure, but introducing enemies that don't follow the norm keeps things interesting IMO
gilded yarrow
with the shield dudes its like "ok you didnt use the right weapon, you dont get to have this fundamental part of the game feel for this shot"
but there are better ways to do that i think
main spindle
A good example I think comes from Unreal
gilded yarrow
which actually had good shield enemies btw
main spindle
where there's a particular enemy that suddenly can dodge roll your shit like no one's else business
main spindle
The idea of the skaarj is good, but they are actually worse implemented than the shield skellies
and the reason is because they read your inputs like a bitch
gilded yarrow
they do, its cool at first but gets very annoying very quickly
fiery osprey
I'm okay with shield guys. I always went for the feet or head as soon as i saw the shield
gilded yarrow
ye i think that actually works in unreal
also they block periodically, not sometimes when your shot lands
fiery osprey
Not mad coz bad either, just saying they [green beans] suck a bit
fiery osprey
shield guys do get fucked royally by the planet brush and the ice mace
gilded yarrow
but not that much
fiery osprey
A bit of audio work could solve it all. They went in and redid the sounds on the weapons and that made a huge diff at the start of early access
I was one of the people moaning the weapons all felt weak
gilded yarrow
ye like i was saying a while ago, the enemies need more audio cues
fiery osprey
I did really like the the guy who does the fire trail along the floor though, he semt fun to fight against, as did big purple shooty knight
gilded yarrow
purple dude was p basic but the fire trail guy was good
i think it maybe woulda been better if the fire dude had something more to his attack
fiery osprey
a dreaded third attack
gilded yarrow
wha i thought he only has one attack
fiery osprey
[i still wish we had alt modes for each weapon] ๐
doesn't he do something up close?

yo i'm replying to a post from the stone age here but the tip for "green beans" is to use the whisper's edge and aim with the edge of the blade to do damage to a whole crowd

This might be a question you do not want to answer at this stage, but are there any factors that are particularly crucial in making AE mod support happen/ thwart it from happening? Like is it a question of licensed addons to UE4 that are not publishable by default but might be negotiable in the future, or is it more of a tech / project architecture kind of thing? Would love to learn a bit about what is relevant in the process and what differences in engines/projects might make official mod support easier/more challenging.
fiery osprey
I don't know about this stuff but I was poking around before, but from what people on here have said, it's simply down to UE4. It just isn't mod friendly. If you want a retro FPS that is gonna have mod support, DUSK is going to be your friend I believe.
tall temple
AE modding is almost totally out of our hands. That's up to UE4 in the future
night ginkgo
yeah the modding thing, at the moment we're using some marketplace content so that can't be distrubted. Plus actually making mods is hard since they have to be cooked and made into plugins and shit
it couldn't be more complicated
gilded yarrow
ive never made a game commercially before, but is using assets/marketplace stuff considered a taboo when its a legit project, or is it chill
cos i know asset flips are kind of infamous and they give them a bad name
urban quiver
i dont really see why marketplace stuff shouldnt be used
some of that shit costs money dont it
gilded yarrow
yea
urban quiver
i wouldnt pay money for assets for a project i didnt plan on selling for money
that just seems dum
awkwardly worded but
i hope you get my point
gilded yarrow
after reading it like 3 times over, yeah i get what u mean
gilded yarrow
ah
night ginkgo
code stuff like object pooling so the game doesn't slow down
gilded yarrow
code ones are the best since no one would be able to notice its an asset
night ginkgo
the animations people might notice idk, but they're really high quality
and we use them creatively
gilded yarrow
yee
night ginkgo
if we could have afforded an animator that would have been awesome
gilded yarrow
i thought the animations were made in-house tbh so theyre definitely doing their job
main spindle
Well, no one has called you on that so it means the animations are indeed well made
crystal spruce
Is the asset store content heavily modified beyond recognition?
Sorry youโre running short on assets
night ginkgo
Is the asset store content heavily modified beyond recognition? we're not using a lot like I said
the only visual thing is animations
we made everything else from scratch
frosty drift
^ no art assets are 3rd party
hexed obsidian
What kind of animations? More 1st person weapon anims, enemies, environmental stuff?
Just out of curiosity
crystal spruce
Yeah what animations in particular?
hexed obsidian
Oh, thought the 3d models of the weapons were animated and normalmapped, then transformed into sprites. My very limited understanding of how the tech behind these processes works definitely shows
crystal spruce
they're model renders turned into sprites
night ginkgo
simon animated it frame by frame basically
we've got a tech post on how this was actually done btw, not sure when it's coming out
crystal spruce
You made the weapons sprites to save on processing power, is that correct?
gilded yarrow
this conversation has somehow been dragged across an entire weekend
crystal spruce
there wouldn't be that much of a performance difference whether they were sprites or models
cinder mist
we made them sprites cause it's cool as fuck
i tested a theory and it worked really well and we decided that's the look we wanna go for, since no one had done it to this extent before
plucky isle
u made them sprites 'cause you wanna make people go like "WOW those weapon models look as cool af" and then you just go like "THEY ARE SPRITES YOU LITTLE FUCKZ GO LEARN SPRITE THEORY" xD
