imagine wanting to be eaten by the sun
sun vore
those who would worship the sun are blind
I imagine those worshipping the sun have got some fancy sunglasses on
the worthy have no need for sunglasses I see
using the Reshade AA on top of game TAA helps, but only a little unfortunetly
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
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
Maybe make the materials rougher based on the distance from the camera?
Idk I don't wanna have to go thru each material
Would make fireflies less noticeable in the distance and such.
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.
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
Eh shinyness at a distance can be a problem but it's definitely a good idea to keep it up close I guess.
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
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
Cool
tried it out, doesnt really work, the amount you gotta push the roughness just makes everything look matte
i think we just leave it
EP 6 
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.
Take a pic, I wanna see how it looks
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

how do you expect to worship the sun if you won't give it your eyes
smh
get a load of this nerd with his functioning eyes
have fun not bumping into walls! LOL!
Are Ep1-5 getting any changes with the Ep6 update? Was thinking to start another playthrough to prepare for the ep6 launch, but will wait if the previous episodes are tweaked with the new build 🙂

@hexed obsidian there's only minor fixes no real significant changes
it's a fairly common sounding bluesy bassline I think

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?
we call them levels heh
@night ginkgo I could but I'm not sure how it would represent shimmer, since shimmer is something only seen in motion
seems like i can post any screenshots
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.
anyway
Am I imaging it, or does the game take away all your weapons when you restart a level?
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
well, i died and clicked restart level
took away all my weapons
it really shouldn't do that
yeah
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
maps have alot of weapons of their own
so you could think about it as a surprise intruder mode?
:P
sort of like how George Carlin describes "surprise sex"? Not exactly the most desirable analogy.
yyyyea I guess that was pretty much what I was going for
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
originally it kept weapons
I can't remember why we made it get rid of them, but there was reasons
Because reasons
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.

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
Yeah I feel the same, I really hate getting powerful weapons late in the game
@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
^
thank you
Accidentally start soul mode while back tracking, speedrun through the level to find at least one enemy to kill
The real evil is my awareness as a player

Thank you shillboi, very cool!
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.
warrior mode takes away your weapons between levels
rather than losing your weapons when you die and restart
sorry I meant have two options
restart or restart from scratch
^ this is me
yeah agreed

thanks for not making me shit
well, shitting is perfectly natural, as long as you do it in a place you should
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.
Can i have the rigs of enemies to make memes
^this
its just the unreal skeleton and some meshes, nothing in AE is actually rigged
or skinned
yeah they're quite modular
yeah the rig is just default epic skeleton boi
Well I'll just make a bunch of animations and poses and apply the enemies if modding comes in
lmao
haha
Like the dance anim that every bethesda game seems to have
what is that dance
also lmao
Nazeem, you naughty boy. TAKEN FROM GAMER POOP SKYRIM 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM8krWnU0uQ FULL CREDIT GOES TO MANS1AY3R: https://www.youtube.com/u...
that's one of my favourites lmao
I'll allow it
same
we had some great ones on bombshell
that we prob cant show for legale reasones
Legale
yeah I wrote that on purpose
Could tell from the fancy tilted text that i dunno how to do
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
it's unity I thought
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.
UE4 would be PERFECT for that kind of game
all of that kind of interaction would be really easy to handle with blueprints
I can only put it down to novice production
like all that stuff can be fixed quite easily if you know how
yeah the engine isnt the problem, it's the production
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)
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.
like who knows what happened
raises hand.
Is this one of those games where you can go through every encounter without taking hits?
i can't think of any hitscan enemies, so probably
There's no hit scans but you'd have to be real good lol
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.
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.
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
aka; i tried to explain this to him but my weed and adhd riddled brain couldn't piece it all together coherently

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.
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."
i believe it was memed about, then leon was like "YEAH LET'S DO THAT"
hahahaha
yeah i dunno who exactly but it was in one of our fucked up brainstorm meetings
same as shooting literal planets
Amazing.
Everything I'm hearing about this game just makes it seem like a case of "sure, why not?"
I can appreciate that.
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.
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
yep
but it's still useful in soul mode

by the way, annoying question, I know, but is there a possibility that episode 6 comes out this year, or is it not coming sooner than January? 😄
yeah it should be this year unless some unforeseen issue comes up
🤞
yeah it would have been out but I got into the creative slump
it's content complete we're just checking bugs
^^
good to hear ^^
So
means quite soon indeed. I approve
I mean
I did say the other day that it was very very soon
why don't y'all ever believe me
I'm hoping they'll be some additional difficulty options added either to the new game menu, or the cheats menu.
It would be nice to set the health cap to 75, 50 or 25, then combine with a base difficulty level for a customized experience.
The level of the new episode looks amazing.
Ruins of Rust or w/e its called.
Crucible of Pain reminds me a lot of some Thief 2 levels.
Those are Ep5 levels
ep 6 isnt out
but SOON™

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.
Amid Evil is awesome but idk if it would run on my PC, I got a laptop
hmm I see, I got a 4GB tho
it runs pretty good on leons surface tablet
ooh onboard graphics?
The surface runs it fine on it's Intel graphics
Also if your PC runs fortnite it will run AE
ahhh I see
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
Epjc shaft
The only difference I noticed was kinda more saturated lighting when shooting planets and stuff in E5M1
yeah it's dat volumetric fog
also the folumetric vog
And the volumetric dog
bork
no volumetric so it's BORK!
I love fog
especially when it's rendered invisible by low video modes 
Ep7 is just silent hill confirmed.
@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.
but his PC is crap
Ep 7 is an indie documentary about leon's late night Chinese runs
But chose your own adventure style
it's like xen but good
xen but nex
xen but snek
@weary solar thanks for the info 😃
@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
yeah our textures are fuckin tiny as hell, most are 128x128
weapons are the biggest textures
mmmmm Ion Maiden textures are 128x128, so are AVP 1 textures, AE textures look a lot higher resolution than that
hell yeah then we did a good job
we use a lot of tricks to make them not look like that
^
we also have UE4 quality lighting
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
the frick is vertex painting
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
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
is that like a detail texture?
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
i thought bumps maps were basically early normal maps
i thought adding details like bumps were what normalmaps do
a bump map only provides down depth
ah
a normal map is more 3d
so is vertex painting painting it onto the actual texture instead of having another image layer
@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^
Vertex painting is a godsend
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
painting pixelverse hazards onto a plane

i need to finish learning about materials
all i got so far is changing the base colour, metallic roughness and specular values
i wont even really need it for the game i want to make tho, cos its going to be celshaded
which i also need to learn how to do
yeah...
yikes
meanwhile all of my bp scripts are like 10 nodes at most
ik but its the same layout and visual scripting
what the fuck kind of material is so complicated that it needs all that
that's a water shader
of course it is
I want to see some of simon's mats
how long have u been using ue4
since the beginning
so like 4 years
^
lol some of my materials are bigger and messier than those
well all of them are messier
Someone has probs tried to make art with these
It's the result that counts
reason the enemy one looks so complex is cause of the masks that allow us to colour each part of them individually, and all the overkill effects
Who's the master?
The bad guy from Dr who
^
Real answer: master materials are ones that you can make instances of with different variables
We don't have an enemy called master heh
YET
Indeed 🤔
I'd have to elevate my mind if I tried to do that in UE
speaking of engines I should actually boot up trenchbroom and see what it's got
literal spaghetti code
wait for AE game begins too

doing the solar levels now, those shields dudes are a pain
thankfully they can't reflect green attacks it seems
they can if you hit them directly
if you glance them with it, it will hurt them and go past
best weapon for the shield bois is planets
kills them before they can react
ok. In a lot of ways I kinda like that they add a bit more strategy
like you can't just mindlessly attack the shield bois
The enemies are definitely beginning to induce the player to have different game plans of taking them down, which is by far a good thing
@dark granite loves ep6's combat so you can look forward to that
Exciting as always

You heard it folks
I think I'll be able to resist, if you plan to release it this year
13 days aren't that much
and I spoiled myself EP4 and 5, so I want to have 6 as first feeling
😄
13 days oof where did this year go

Unlikely. Ep6 is just about ready to ship

wow just out of the gates here
wooooooooooo
Holy crapoly that's awesome man!
hell yeah 

so if Dave says it's ok, it comes out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
SOON
Man, I can't wait!

Does the new update include a fix for de planet jumps :o)
What is there to fix
I've never used planet jumps
I turn on god mode and infinite ammo and just planet jump around the hub
good practice
and good fun
cheat
You don't fix what isn't broken
Yeah say this to Project Warlock dev lmao
I would, if I knew what Project Warlock was xD
well u missed a lot
in short: a shitty optimized retro FPS game. The dev breaks lots of things while fixing the other things
consensus is it would've been pretty good with better management of code
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.
Thank you for making the floating rock heads more humane enemies
that range was just evil before

@main spindle the planet jumps force radius and damage radius are two different sizes, you can boost without hurting yourself
Not for long
yeah that was fixed
yo i love the giant skips you can do with planet jumping, routing out speed runs is so fun.
Seems like it'd be harder to make force and damage radius different than to just make it the same size but I don't know anything about UE4
it's like that because reasons

Re: IM
I really wanna play the full version of that lmao
I wanna see if any of the original stuff we planned end up in it
hopefully it performs more smoothly than the demo
It ran fine for me except when stuff exploded
Ion Maiden is looking pretty awesome, especially there new reveals on later episodes
Sure lemme take a look around quickly
thx!
No problemo

@hexed obsidian yeah I was but only at the initial kinda concept stages. I did throw in a few ideas.
I don't think any made it in, but will have to wait for the full version
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. 💖
aww thanks man that's such a nice thing to hear!
lmao leon

thanks for sharing that @fast eagle it made my day, and i hope you feel better asap
Hope you feel better.
@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?
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.
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
22 ur just too good
unlike that guy on the forum who was like EASY IS NOT EASY ENOUGH
NEGATIVE REVIEW
lol
I just make sure the game is balanced for medium on Intruder/Champion mode
anything easier or harder is up to the player
I let Leon fuck with that
hard is what I play on
hard is what I fuck with
I don't want to be a whiner, but I was playing Episode 5 and thinking "wow, this is great. I can't wait to play it again on hard." Then I hit tab by accident and noticed it was on hard. 😐
There is a new difficulty?
there's 4 difficulties
Easy, medium, hard, and EVIL (hidden)
evil is in a secret portal
like nightmare from quake
The entrance to Evil difficulty.
oh looky a handy video
give it a go
Right now playing Dusk on Hard
on CM?
Yeah
yeah I usually play that after I finish an ep
lol
???
Usually I do the difficulties in ascending order.
originally it was just HARD but people said it was too easy
so we made everything faster too
which s why its not recommended
or called HARD
Dave's caps lock key must be broken
oh HELL YES, maybe i'll break my unintentional absence from amid evil to play episodes 4, 5 and 6 when it's out because i'm too impatient to wait for the whole thing
i feel like you just gave me a new episode, telling me there was a hidden difficulty 😃
uh yeah, seeing the gorgeous screenshots dave was sharing on twitter these past few months. definitely
we had hoped to get ep6+7 out together, but time slipped away
but ep7 shouldn't be long, it's not as long as the other episodes
i wouldnt rush it
we're not
Given how good E5 was, I think your at the top of your game so far.
Huge comeback after Tower Of The Sentinals, IMO
the domain of the sentinels?
I don't mean its god awful
Just Episode 5 is the tits
Its hard to provide variation in level design, without doing something some people don't like.
Maybe comeback was the wrong word?
Dunno.
Episode 5 is just epic though with all the moving parts and stuff.

Hard to describe what I like/dislike without SS
But as a general rule, if I'm on a narrow ledge, not a prime time for combat 😝
Is Amid Evil made by same ppl from Dusk?
No
same publisher

Thanks fam, I made that level
but shielders are very annoying enemies 😄
It took a looooong time to make that
so even though ep4 looks beautiful, it can't be my best episode, just because of them
it was so good, I loved the progression, great job
Ty, yeah the sheild guys might get tweaked a bit. But what difficulty did you play on?
If it's hard or evil they'll probably be about the same
ep4 is still my least fave but i enjoy it more than i used to
I played medium, hard and evil as well
and it's not that I had a problem with them, but more like just hated them 😄
because usually you have to use either sword or planet launcher against them
anything else is uneffective
Ah well
ep4 had really stand out level design so good job on that
its the enemies where it falls short for me
also ep3 is underrated
How is episode 6 looking? We going to be able to beta test this week?
Oh already?
Awesome I look forward to it! What are the able ranks again?
and how long will it take before it goes out from beta testing?
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
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
cool! That's probably gonna be part of reviewing everything once ep7 is finished though, right?
hey when i brought up the exact same complaints and suggestions i only got "lol get gud XD"
he
Nah I listened
na not from u
It's been on the back burner
mainly from mods
Any way you could make the soul butcher's (big purple dudes) more challenging on Evil mode?"
Maybe shoot out more projectiles?
or their stop could cause a damaging aoe
yeah, for the strongest enemies of the episode they are pretty easy to kill
^^^
theyre basically the blue knights from ep1 except buffed up and not as fun
the other big dudes are kinda easy too
Exactly the reason I want them to play a bigger role

only played that first level but man if it looks good and is the mood oppressive
Ep 5 is indeed quite hard in Evil
And you better know where all weapons are if you play Warrior mode, otherwise, well, good luck.
Did i see ep 6 imminent?
tomorrow
Well, now I have plans for tomorrow after work
like, examining all the timezones? 😃
For instance
yes today
once I've fixed the thing and the QA boys say it's good
probably a round 3 hours or so from noww
idk might be anyone who wants to try the beta this time
sweet
Is the beta out?
No wait
Is the beta
I'll be stronk and wait for the final release
Not yet, AFAIK
almost

neeeaaarrrly
Hopefully it's for everyone this time because I'm still not soldier.

OK it's live on the beta branch

is AE similar to dusk?
sweet i might play it over the holidays
dusk was so much fun I want more of it
AE seems in the same vein
can you air strafe and bhop in amid evil?
no, but the player moves pretty fast
AE ain't got no guns
Those little "gun" things are not fit for a champion to use
so this is the beta, right?
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?
not much, just bugfixes probably
Ye
gonna wait till tomorrow to play
from what I've seen of the screenshots it looks great

should i play ep6 or just wait for final release?
that is the serious question
Play it
Oh nice Christmas present, can't wait to play it 😄
downloading it now. 
Calling Simmo at 3am he answered OMG.
I don't get it but I like it
It's a meme about those Calling Thanos at 3am videos.
all right, ep6 downloaded, time to play it 
😎
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?
so not one hit KO right?
nope
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
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
alright
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
Downloading now, this should be interesting.
is it just an opt-in beta or what
yeah

found a minor glitch
I killed them mid-air and they got stuck in their animations when they fall down the ledge to attack
nice one
Lol
Just beat DUSK, still had the itch, bought AMID EVIL.
^ best combo
I got my copy of DUSK free. I felt I had to buy this because Oshry needs the money to buy a shirt.
where do I get this password for the ep 6 beta?
and where do I input it?
properties-betas
I've never done steam beta before, what do I do after I put the password in?
ah
hang on @cinder mist am I allowed to do this? heh
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
@stuck igloo TELLIN SECRETS
nah that's totally fine, it's for anyone to opt into haha
restart the steam
@pulsar scaffold weird, when you are in the menu what does build number say in the bottom right
it should be build 1790 iirc
i had to restart steam when i switched branches, sometimes it doesn't start the update automatically
^ yeah that too
Eh it's fine. I was playing something else anyways and was just curious about checking out ep 6. I'll wait 😃
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
yea that's why. I wanna play it pure and polished
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
Well yeah
can confirm Evil difficulty is beatable up to and including Forge at least, even though the boss is a right bastard :V
Of course it is
i should clarify and say it's beatable by a clog like me instead of only superhumans :v
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?
Ah
meme answer is bind jump to space like a normal person
real answer is to make sure crouch is bound to a different button
It is
and if there's an 'accept' prompt on the binding screen (can't remember if there is one or not) click that
Oh he just figured it out. Apparently binds don't replace, they just add?
ah
That's a little yucky but w/e editing a text file is simple
Jump as C? Lawd thats a serious claw grip
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
cool and good
can you make the intro thingies match the game volume tho cuz wow they are very loud!
🤔 I'll see if I can
thanks ily hope the game has toilets in it
here ur toilet
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.'```
its also coincidentally where leon lives
the great mind was Robert Yang
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^
great episode just saying for the 6 millionth time
i'm dead curious, love amid evil
it's a highlight so far Consul
heh
can't wait to see what ep 6 is like
It's fckn awesome
I'm sure it is just by looking at the portal texture
Is Amid Evil a similar game as Dusk or somethin'?
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
more heretic than anything, really has nothing similar to hexen beyond aesthetics
which is good
the voltride kind of reminds me of the laser thingy from hexen 2 but I see what you're saying
damn, the e2 boss actually took me a while to beat. haven't felt that challenged in a while!
lets see how good you are dodging rocks then :P
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
nah
there will be rocks later
ok, im just currently against the laz0rs so its more applicable to my current situation 👉 😎 👉
don't be afraid to use the Aeternum, sometimes I have to slap myself
Ye, the aeternum makes your life a whole lot easier in ep5

code's ColourTheory, steam game properties->betas tab->restart steam etc etc
but uh, go play ep5
hahaha yeah will do thanks!
this game is real good
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
