night ginkgo
#

those who would worship the sun are blind

#

I imagine those worshipping the sun have got some fancy sunglasses on

queen leaf
#

nah m8

potent hatch
#

the worthy have no need for sunglasses I see

weary solar
#

using the Reshade AA on top of game TAA helps, but only a little unfortunetly

queen leaf
#

Sorry what's wrong with it?

#

TAA is there if you don't like it crispy

weary solar
#

Its shimmer I don't like

#

x4 DSR completely removes texture shimmer, but is expensive

#

Adding reshade helps, but its not as good as DSR in this case

night ginkgo
#

the shimmer is the reflection environment

#

it's just more noticeable in AE because it's all pixel sized

#

I'll see if we can come up with something that can tone it down

#

there might be a post process effect or something we can make

winged ibex
#

Maybe make the materials rougher based on the distance from the camera?

night ginkgo
#

Idk I don't wanna have to go thru each material

winged ibex
#

Would make fireflies less noticeable in the distance and such.

night ginkgo
#

but it's an idea

#

I prefer to cheap hack my way out of these issues

#

😛

winged ibex
#

My idea is a cheap hack though :c

#

It's like a few nodes aswell, not sure how expensive it'd be in the long term though.

#

Or whether or not checking the depth buffer would disable self shadowing.

night ginkgo
#

techincally we could clamp max roughness with a variable

#

*min rough

#

but it would change the look certain things we'd want to be shiny

#

wet floors, metal enemies and such

winged ibex
#

Eh shinyness at a distance can be a problem but it's definitely a good idea to keep it up close I guess.

cinder mist
#

that aint a bad idea

#

the roughness

#

camera depth is easy as hell

#

i'll see how it looks real quick

#

hmm where's an area where it's particularly noticeable

night ginkgo
#

Simmo2 that area with the waterfall

#

I think tho we should make it an option

#

Can set that up with the global material var thing

cinder mist
#

yeah atm i just wanna see if it's worth it

#

yep ^

night ginkgo
#

Cool

cinder mist
#

tried it out, doesnt really work, the amount you gotta push the roughness just makes everything look matte

#

i think we just leave it

main spindle
#

EP 6 soon

weary solar
#

Honestly the shimmer isn't a huge deal. TAA reduces shimmer more that most other pixel are games.

#

But Amid Evil without any Shimmer just looks amazing.

#

Its not just reflective surfaces, its spots where there is a hard contrast between two colours.

#

Right at the beginning of a new game, the green vines against beige rocks are a good example.

night ginkgo
#

Take a pic, I wanna see how it looks

cinder mist
#

lol i didnt save

#

like, it just is really matte, no shininess

#

the little single pixels are there even when it's nearly at 1 (max) roughness

#

unless you mean deathgrip then nevermind lmao

night ginkgo
#

yeah I meant deathgrip heh

#

we can experiment still I guess

Took my time and finished Ep. 5. Just in time for Ep. 6! I like how the boss level gives hints on the forge master.

#

Should I say level? Maybe mission?

night ginkgo
#

we call them levels heh

weary solar
#

@night ginkgo I could but I'm not sure how it would represent shimmer, since shimmer is something only seen in motion

night ginkgo
#

Ah

#

No worries

weary solar
#

seems like i can post any screenshots

lilac copper
#

bet its because no rank

#

post moar

weary solar
#

Steam Overlay doesn't seem to want to work with the Reshade Overlay enabled, using the Reshade screenshot function only creates a bright pink screen, so it looks like i cant SS with Reshade enabled.

#

I just tested the same version of Reshade with Agony Unrated, the Steam overlay works there. Not sure why it doesn't with Amid Evil.

#

@lilac copper I don't mean screenshots in discord, that would work I think. If not, I could always just post the links.

lilac copper
#

xD

#

I see

weary solar
#

anyway

#

Am I imaging it, or does the game take away all your weapons when you restart a level?

versed violet
#

It does

#

Loading save keeps them restarting resets you

night ginkgo
#

the game autosaves each level in the load game option

#

and every time you pick up a key + some other times we thought it should save

weary solar
#

well, i died and clicked restart level

#

took away all my weapons

#

it really shouldn't do that

tall tusk
#

yeah

weary solar
#

i know old games like Doom did that, but that was just something so that players could choose to start each level without weapons if they wanted to

#

AE shouldn't really do that, because it already has warrior mode for people who want to play that way

#

Pretty much 100% of the people who play this game on console and most new PC players are gonna hit restart level at least once and think the game glitched and took all their weapons away. They will be pissed about it. Observed this quite a lot over the years. Its why DUSK doesn't take away all your weapons on restart too, AFAIK

lilac copper
#

maps have alot of weapons of their own

#

so you could think about it as a surprise intruder mode?

#

:P

weary solar
#

sort of like how George Carlin describes "surprise sex"? Not exactly the most desirable analogy.

lilac copper
#

yyyyea I guess that was pretty much what I was going for

versed violet
#

You can always make a save right at the start and reload instead of it

#

But a warning about level reset wouldn't hurt i guess

night ginkgo
#

originally it kept weapons

#

I can't remember why we made it get rid of them, but there was reasons

versed violet
#

Because reasons

weary solar
#

maybe you didn't have warrior mode available yet?

#

Either way, most people are going to assume its a bug and not be very happy about it, intentional or not.

night ginkgo
#

yeah could make a restart from scratch option

#

so like however peeps wanna play it

#

honestly I think it's better like this

#

when you introduce game's whole weapon arsenal in it's first third, it would be stereotyphical to just rush through the rest 5 episodes with all the weapons equipped

#

like this it can actually force you to use other weapons than your favorite ones, and makes you happy when you finally complete your arsenal once more

#

and at the same time, this happens around like second level of the episode, so you still play with all the weapons equipped for the most time

night ginkgo
#

Yeah I feel the same, I really hate getting powerful weapons late in the game

onyx light
#

I dislike the soul meter thing

#

I always end up wasting it and that is infuriating

oak thorn
#

@onyx light there's an alternate Soul mode in the options menu

#

you can set it to a bindable key of your choice

#

so that you can save it for whenever you want

night ginkgo

onyx light
#

thank you

versed violet
#

Accidentally start soul mode while back tracking, speedrun through the level to find at least one enemy to kill

Thank you shillboi, very cool!

weary solar
#
so like however peeps wanna play it ``` Isn't this what Warrior mode already does?
#

Im just offering advice from what I'v seen, I've bought copies of Doom for my friend on console, and they all had a shit fit when the autosave system they were used to being dependent on left them stuck between losing progress, or losing weapons.

cinder mist
#

warrior mode takes away your weapons between levels

#

rather than losing your weapons when you die and restart

night ginkgo
#

sorry I meant have two options

#

restart or restart from scratch

thanks for not making me shit

gentle zealot
#

well, shitting is perfectly natural, as long as you do it in a place you should

weary solar
#
rather than losing your weapons when you die and restart ``` I understand that.
#

AFAIK, the reason old games like Doom did the inventory reset on restarting a level was to give players a extra self-challenge option, without programming something extra into the menu.

#

Some people would call it simplistic, today I think most people would just call it lazy, but then FPS was only in its infancy.

versed violet
#

Can i have the rigs of enemies to make memes

limber radish
#

^this

cinder mist
#

its just the unreal skeleton and some meshes, nothing in AE is actually rigged

#

or skinned

night ginkgo
#

yeah they're quite modular

versed violet
#

Oh damn

#

I figured about the skinning since the limbs are separated

cinder mist
#

yeah the rig is just default epic skeleton boi

versed violet
#

Well I'll just make a bunch of animations and poses and apply the enemies if modding comes in

night ginkgo
#

time to make a forntite default dance vid

that's one of my favourites lmao

hmm maybe thats agains rules

I love putting animations onto models that can't handle it

Legale

night ginkgo
#

yeah I wrote that on purpose

versed violet
#

Could tell from the fancy tilted text that i dunno how to do

weary solar
#

Does anybody have an idea why Underworld Ascendent is such a POS? I thought UE4 had most of the systems in place or available in the coding section of a asset store somewhere so that they would have been pretty much GTG

night ginkgo
#

it's unity I thought

cinder mist
#

yeah it's made in unity

#

but that's not why it sucks

weary solar
#

NMD then.

#

I guess not going with UE4 was a mistake then.

#

There has to be some reason the NightDive team switched from Unity to UE4 during production.

cinder mist
#

UE4 would be PERFECT for that kind of game

#

all of that kind of interaction would be really easy to handle with blueprints

night ginkgo
#

I can only put it down to novice production

#

like all that stuff can be fixed quite easily if you know how

cinder mist
#

yeah the engine isnt the problem, it's the production

weary solar
#

I'll take your word for it, I'm just biased b/c Unreal is the only thing I've ever really worked with.

#

(but at least i know it)

night ginkgo
#

who knows what went on with that game

#

it was in dev for a looooong time

weary solar
#

I only heard of it recently.

#

I am a huge, kiss-the-ground-they-walk-on fan of Thief and System shock though, so my human reaction to Otherside's failure is to try and blame the engine.

night ginkgo
#

like who knows what happened

pliant sluice
#

raises hand.

#

Is this one of those games where you can go through every encounter without taking hits?

gentle zealot
#

i can't think of any hitscan enemies, so probably

night ginkgo
#

There's no hit scans but you'd have to be real good lol

pliant sluice
#

I'm hearing the gggmanlives review is hideously outdated.

#

Is there an option to turn off screen sway when you move and the flashing lights on pickup?

#

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. Money's tight and I'm not 100% sure this is the specific kind of classic throwback I'm looking for.

cinder mist
#

yep

#

of course

#

no worries

#

you can turn all of that off in the options

pliant sluice
#

Main concern right now's enemy balance and the like. I'm hearing the whole game's built around a "forced" weapon swap for specific types of enemies that are weak to it but I'm not sure how bullet spongey everything gets since there seems to be the ol' doom classic and serious sam way of going about things and things like doom 2016 where everything takes a fair number of hits to go down.

cinder mist
#

things arent super bullet spongey generally, except where it makes sense

#

and there aren't specific weaknesses and strengths for different weapons, everything just does a certain amount of damage - it's more the way the weapons work that makes some better than others depending on the enemies

#

they can all be utilised in different ways

gentle zealot
#

aka; i tried to explain this to him but my weed and adhd riddled brain couldn't piece it all together coherently

cinder mist
#

hahaha

pliant sluice
#

An attempt was made.

#

Except it probably wasn't.

#

But I see.

#

I might look into picking this one up.

#

I'm not sure it'll scratch the exact itch something like Sam would but it's bound to be good.

cinder mist
#

awesome, if you like 90s fps, you're bound to find something you like

pliant sluice
#

Yeah. Also, which one of you thought the spinning axe melee was a good idea? Shit's hilarious.

#

"All the melee weapons in this game are ranged. Except the axe. But it's also part blender."

gentle zealot
#

i believe it was memed about, then leon was like "YEAH LET'S DO THAT"

cinder mist
#

hahahaha

#

yeah i dunno who exactly but it was in one of our fucked up brainstorm meetings

gentle zealot
#

oh wait i misread

#

see

#

i thought you were on about the propellar thing

cinder mist
#

same as shooting literal planets

gentle zealot
#

that shit'll launch you forward in the water

#

as it spins

pliant sluice
#

Amazing.

cinder mist
#

yeah the spinning axe acts like a propeller too

#

cause its fun

pliant sluice
#

..Wasn't there another game that had a similar thing?

#

Maybe it was painkiller.

gentle zealot
#

yeah painkiller has a spinny saw thing

#

doesn't make you work like a boat tho

pliant sluice
#

Everything I'm hearing about this game just makes it seem like a case of "sure, why not?"

#

I can appreciate that.

main spindle
#

Also as Simmo said is not that enemies have a specific weakness to a certain weapon. It has more to do with highly context dependant situations where using a weapon may give you an advantage in terms of positioning.

#

The spike balls in EP5 are the best example since you can affect how they move or outright juggle them and how you use these states depends on the situation and your own playstyle.

#

For example, if you ever see me saying X works better against Y is because I found that particular weapon to be better suited in that situation to achieve my main goal

#

Which is to be stylish as fuck.

#

Both Amid Evil and Dusk are very good examples of games that allow for player expression.

night ginkgo
#

all the weapons are effective really

#

which is something we wanted, I dislike games that give you say a pistol and it's useless for the rest of the game

#

all the weapons are viable

cinder mist
#

yep

gilded yarrow
#

except for the axe kinda

#

atleast after the ai update

#

Episode 5 was the best, by a wide margin of what we've seen so far. Second best is episode 1.

#

My only issue with the game so far, is it can't seem to resist the urge to attack the player when the player in ledges.

#

Otherwise, features and improvements, I'd like more difficulty modes.

Also if your PC runs fortnite it will run AE

cerulean flower

ahhh I see

plucky isle
#

The most demanding AE setting atm is Shadow Quality set to "Epic"

#

instantly cuts off ~15 fps for me

But there's not much difference between it and High tho

you get more accurate light shafts and such on epic

ep7 is the evil dimension basically

it's pretty abstract

weary solar
#

@cerulean flower you could always just buy the game on steam, and if you can't get it to run, refund it.

#

However most likely, you could get it to run. Even if you had to hex edit some files to reduce texture resolution.

night ginkgo

lmao what

#

the textures are tiny

weary solar

but his PC is crap

@weary solar thanks for the info 😃

weary solar
#

@cerulean flower you'd be surprised by the number of games that you can find a "potato" mode for, usually this involves messing around with Nvidia Inspector and hex editing the game executable.

#

as far as this "hack" goes, all it does to change mipmap settings from -/+ 0 to +30

cinder mist
#

yeah our textures are fuckin tiny as hell, most are 128x128

#

weapons are the biggest textures

weary solar
#

mmmmm Ion Maiden textures are 128x128, so are AVP 1 textures, AE textures look a lot higher resolution than that

cinder mist
#

hell yeah then we did a good job

night ginkgo
#

we use a lot of tricks to make them not look like that

cinder mist
#

^

night ginkgo
#

we also have UE4 quality lighting

cinder mist
#

vertex painting was the biggest thing

#

AE would look so different without vertex paint

#

the cliffs and some bosses use 1024x1024 textures

#

but that's only a few of the materials in the game

gilded yarrow
#

the frick is vertex painting

weary solar
#

no idea

#

but the texture resolution issue is, if you're going to do pixel art, you need low resolution textures to avoid shimmer, your only other options are TAA and SSAA

night ginkgo
#

vertex painting is a thing you can use to add detail to meshes

#

so stuff like cracks, vines, dirt, water etc are painted on

#

rather than tiling everything

weary solar
#

is that like a detail texture?

night ginkgo
#

sorta, a detail texture was this thing they used to use when you'd get close to a texture, it would add a bump map to add details

weary solar
#

i thought bumps maps were basically early normal maps

gilded yarrow
#

i thought adding details like bumps were what normalmaps do

night ginkgo
#

a bump map only provides down depth

gilded yarrow
#

ah

night ginkgo
#

a normal map is more 3d

gilded yarrow
#

so is vertex painting painting it onto the actual texture instead of having another image layer

night ginkgo
#

@cinder mist you got a gif handy?

#

it's material(shader) based, you can do other things than paint textures

#

you weight a vertex with a colour -- really the word colour doesn't matter it's more you have RGBA values to modify shader information

#

one thing we do is use one colour channel to make stuff look wet by flattening the normals and lowering the roughness

#

this is me removing the paint on some things^

devout olive
#

wow

#

much more boring

#

impressive

versed violet
#

Vertex painting is a godsend

cinder mist
#

good explanation leon, basically that

#

the moss and all of that, it's basically being shown and hidden depending on the RGBA value of each vertex

#

i dont have a gif from AE but i have one from a material i made for rad rodgers haha

I got Project Warlock on since it has good reviews on steam, and it advertises itself like Doom and Hexen. Then when I played it I was disappointed, and kept trying to play it. I thought I was just missing something since so many critics say they like it. Glad to see there are others out there underwhelmed by it.

Hey, so I'm going through a bit of a depressive episode today(stressful day), so I decided to launch up some Amid Evil to try and get my mind off things. I'd like to say that even as I was working my way out of this little mess, there were still moments during the game where I said "Oh, dude..." and "Man, that is so cool. That is dope." Even with all the stress, I couldn't deny the incredible things I saw in the game. This game isn't just cool to look at or fun to play. It's good for the soul.

Many thanks to the devs here. 💖

@night ginkgo So I just completed Episode 5.....

#

Is there any way you guys could add some extra difficulties?

#

Even if only as cheat codes types of things?

night ginkgo
#

what were you thinking?

#

like extra hard?

weary solar
#

Just a "cheat" to change max health (before overcharge) to 75, 50 and 25 😃

#

I could combine that with the base difficulties to tune it just right for me.

night ginkgo
#

right

#

I was thinking of making all HP only heal you for 1/2 the amount in evil

weary solar
#

and it could be a "cheat code" thing, that you wouldnt have to rebalance the whole game around

#

I was thinking of making all HP only heal you for 1/2 the amount in evil also not a bad idea

dire briar
#

22 ur just too good

#

unlike that guy on the forum who was like EASY IS NOT EASY ENOUGH

#

I just make sure the game is balanced for medium on Intruder/Champion mode

anything easier or harder is up to the player

When it's good lol

#

Not sure what rank, might be everyone

#

Depends on Dave

hexed obsidian
#

Awesome! Yeah, it's not that I don't like the concept behind the shield dudes, it's more about the unpredictability of when they block and when not. If it was more dependent on certain time frames when you can hit them which are tied to animation, like a stagger or some sort of telegraphing, it would really add another layer of strategy, which I think is what the intention behind them is. Depending on the difficulty, those windows could be longer or shorter. On EVIL, it would then really difficult to get the timing right, which would then get close to the 100% block chance, which is how it is managed now. This would probably require a lot of reworking / tweaking though, so I'm not sure if it's feasible at all

night ginkgo
#

Yeah we're definitely going over them and the green guys

#

I have a few ideas here and there. The stuff you said about telegraphing etc was along I what I was thinking too

Any way you could make the soul butcher's (big purple dudes) more challenging on Evil mode?"

night ginkgo

pearl chasm

night ginkgo

pearl chasm

frosty drift
#

AE ain't got no guns

night ginkgo
#

weapons

frosty drift
#

Those little "gun" things are not fit for a champion to use

main spindle
#

so this is the beta, right?

night ginkgo
#

you have to activate it on steam

main spindle
#

I'm tempted fam, part of me wants to play it now but the other wants to wait until the actual release

#

How different is the beta going to be from the final version?

night ginkgo
#

not much, just bugfixes probably

main spindle
#

I-I don't have the beta

#

Oh wait

#

password

#

frosty drift

#

ahh... I just found "Evil Difficulty"

#

is that an actual DOOM-like Nightmare mode or is it like DUSKMARE where you die in one hit?

cinder mist
#

it's like quake nightmare

#

it's basically harder than hard

stuck igloo
#

so not one hit KO right?

cinder mist
#

nope

stuck igloo
#

good

#

I might feel suicidal and do it

#

I did DOOM 4 on Nightmare

#

and the Arcade mode of DOOM 4 on Ultra-nightmare.

#

I can probably do this

night ginkgo
#

It's difficult but not impossible

#

Like giving a cat a bath

hexed obsidian
#

Played ep1-4 on evil before. Basically felt like a really good but still somewhat fair challenge after finishing hard mode

#

Unlike duskmare, which is intended to be unbalanced

stuck igloo
#

alright

tardy cove
#

Evil + warrior mode is the best way to play IMO

#

Quite challenging

hi dev.my fps drop when someone pm me by steam overlay.

also can you fix the sound splash of footstep.i think its not nice.

#

thanks

I just bought the game because the dev made me do it.

Looking forward to it :>

I got my copy of DUSK free. I felt I had to buy this because Oshry needs the money to buy a shirt.

and where do I input it?

I've never done steam beta before, what do I do after I put the password in?

update

#

that's it

pulsar scaffold
#

ah

stuck igloo
#

hang on @cinder mist am I allowed to do this? heh

pulsar scaffold
#

aight I guess I'm stupid? I think the game updated but I can't tell, when I go to the portal in game it still says "coming soon"

#

Guess i'll just wait for the full release, is k

cinder mist
#

@stuck igloo TELLIN SECRETS

#

nah that's totally fine, it's for anyone to opt into haha

crystal spruce
#

restart the steam

cinder mist
#

@pulsar scaffold weird, when you are in the menu what does build number say in the bottom right

#

it should be build 1790 iirc

crystal spruce
#

i had to restart steam when i switched branches, sometimes it doesn't start the update automatically

cinder mist
#

^ yeah that too

pulsar scaffold
#

Eh it's fine. I was playing something else anyways and was just curious about checking out ep 6. I'll wait 😃

cinder mist
#

steam does that

#

@pulsar scaffold fair enough, there's no reason it wouldn't work though

#

you wont have to wait too long for proper early access release

pulsar scaffold
#

yea that's why. I wanna play it pure and polished

crystal spruce
#

So uhhhhh how does acquire password

#

Nevermind lol I got it

sharp pawn
#

Gauntlet of Torment or whatever it's called isn't that hard
especially now that I turned on alt soul mode

#

...now that I've gone and said that before finishing it, though

limber radish
#

Well yeah

nocturne tapir
#

can confirm Evil difficulty is beatable up to and including Forge at least, even though the boss is a right bastard :V

limber radish
#

Of course it is

nocturne tapir
#

i should clarify and say it's beatable by a clog like me instead of only superhumans :v

mighty estuary
#

Hi I have a question on behalf of my boyfriend. He tried binding jump to C because he's a fucking weirdo but he can't jump because C crouches - despite C not being bound to crouch. How fix?

limber radish
#

Ah

sharp pawn
#

meme answer is bind jump to space like a normal person

#

real answer is to make sure crouch is bound to a different button

mighty estuary
#

It is

sharp pawn
#

and if there's an 'accept' prompt on the binding screen (can't remember if there is one or not) click that

mighty estuary
#

Oh he just figured it out. Apparently binds don't replace, they just add?

sharp pawn
#

ah

mighty estuary
#

That's a little yucky but w/e editing a text file is simple

versed violet
#

Jump as C? Lawd thats a serious claw grip

night ginkgo
#

yeah sorry the binding system is a big bag of jank

#

It's getting overhauled before the final release

#

you can edit them manually in C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\AmidEvil\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\input.ini

#

if the ini is blank make one change to a binding and quit the game, it will populate the file

mighty estuary
#

cool and good

can you make the intro thingies match the game volume tho cuz wow they are very loud!

night ginkgo
#

🤔 I'll see if I can

mighty estuary
#

thanks ily hope the game has toilets in it

night ginkgo
#

lmao demon toilets

#

why didn't we think of this??

proper oxide
mighty estuary
#

a great mind once said

...the bathroom just shows you, I think, the soul of the game a little bit. It's like, 'Do they really care about this space? If the level designer really cared about this space, they thought about where people were gonna take a shit.'```
proper oxide
#

its also coincidentally where leon lives

mighty estuary
#

the great mind was Robert Yang

crystal spruce
#

hey, how do i get the password for the beta branch?

#

thanks! ❤

right click on the game in steam > properites and enter the code like that^

it's a highlight so far Consul

the heretic/hexen thirst is on again!

stuck igloo
#

heh

sharp pawn
#

can't wait to see what ep 6 is like

plucky isle
#

It's fckn awesome

sharp pawn
#

I'm sure it is just by looking at the portal texture

short spear
#

Is Amid Evil a similar game as Dusk or somethin'?

sharp pawn
#

it's a retro FPS that takes after a different style

#

it's more like Hexen and Heretic than Doom and Quake

#

but yes you still run fast and shoot things

flat whale
#

more heretic than anything, really has nothing similar to hexen beyond aesthetics

#

which is good

sharp pawn
#

the voltride kind of reminds me of the laser thingy from hexen 2 but I see what you're saying

gilded star
#

damn, the e2 boss actually took me a while to beat. haven't felt that challenged in a while!

lilac copper
#

lets see how good you are dodging rocks then :P

gilded star
#

Lasers*, and ill have to give my ability a 2/10

#

I genuinely like how difficult this feels, haven't actually felt this challenged in a game in forever

sharp pawn
#

nah
there will be rocks later

gilded star
#

ok, im just currently against the laz0rs so its more applicable to my current situation 👉 😎 👉

sharp pawn
#

don't be afraid to use the Aeternum, sometimes I have to slap myself

upper anchor

this game is real good

stuck igloo
#

Can an FPS be TOO high?

#

Honest question

#

Because when I played AMID EVIL, my frame rate made the game slow down a bit

#

When I activated the 60 fps cap, it was fixed

some games / hardware / software configs dont like uncapped FPS
