That looks nice

#

Actually you know how these are small red symbols on the stones in the Gateway? Maybe something can be done by adding different colors and glow to that

night ginkgo Feb 21, 2019, 11:21 PM

yeah those are along the lines I'm thinking

Cool

fierce nymph Feb 21, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

I mean, wish it was more HeXen/Quake but hey, it's alright as it is. It's just that everything looks exactly like EP3

#

Quake really handled it well, but it also had less episodes and the hub was different obviously

night ginkgo Feb 21, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

yeah it's the same planet as e3

fierce nymph Feb 21, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

Guess it has some lore relevance then. I thought how it was confusing at first, but replaying it again wasn't so bad. In fact, it was easy to get around. Maybe just signposts with an episode number sticked to it might help new players who want to experience the episodes in the "intended" order

night ginkgo Feb 21, 2019, 11:27 PM

This game has some AMAZING moments in it. E2M2 on hard, I have only a little bit of whisper's edge mana and my axe left. One health. I proceed to soul trigger, dice up like four enemies with one swing from whisper. The rebound hits some more tanky enemies and softens them up, which I then drill-down with my axe while circle strafing. I run out of soul the moment he dies, the room's quiet, I sigh...

#

And then an enemy comes out from around a corner and sneezes on me a little to hard, causing me to die.

@night ginkgo Humbly requesting a "tourist/no enemies" mode so we can appreciate the scenery at our own pace, perhaps as an unlockable.

Astral Equinox > Domain of the Sentinels > Sacred Path > Solar Solstice > The Forges > Arcane Expanse

buoyant copper Feb 22, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

Awesome!

crystal spruce Feb 22, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

@night ginkgo I have a few suggestions for the levels to improve flow/reduce backtracking when going for secrets

#

In E1M1 this thing could easily have an elevator to bring you back up, because going back to the twin-key entrance just for a medium green and blue mana seems a bit pointless

📎 20190222174822_1.jpg

#

Not exactly a secret, but in E2M1, it's very easy to fall off this ledge here, which forcing you to do some backtracking. Either a fence to block off falling or some steps after reaching this would help

📎 20190222214148_1.jpg

#

In E2M2, this platform here could just bring you back up, instead of having to start again from the bottom

📎 20190222215402_1.jpg

#

E3M3 is probably the worst because of how big the map is, but right above the secret Aeturnum is basically where you go to progress, so again a rising platform would really help

📎 20190222233602_1.jpg

#

Same with this next secret on the upper level, a moving platform to bring you back up would be very much appreciated

📎 20190222234311_1.jpg

#

I don't know what's the deal with this cliff in E4M1 but being able to just climb it instead of jumping down back to the start would be nice

📎 20190222235110_1.jpg

#

In E4M2 the "flying powerup" secret seems a bit pointless since you can't go over these buildings or anything. Maybe if one of these windows was broken then it would be worth it as a shotcut, otherwise players would just go straight for the Aeturnum

📎 20190223000806_1.jpg

#

Last one, in E4M3, this secret large tomato could use a platform or wind tunnel to bring you back up, instead of going through all the platforms again

📎 20190223002244_1.jpg

crystal spruce Feb 23, 2019, 12:57 PM

#

You could weaken an enemy with one Whisper's Edge hit, then zap them with the Voltride

#

That way you need less hits

signal quartz Feb 23, 2019, 1:17 PM

Yeap Edge can kill a weaker enemy with several hits.

My full playthrough of amid evil episode 6 is uploading now. And this is what i put in the video description:
I am legitimately blown away by this new episode.

It is so beautiful. the music and atmosphere is possibly the best i have ever experienced in my life.
I had legit moments in this video where i fell completely silent and just had to stand still to admire the stunning view and music. I got goosebumps. I actually felt those moment in my heart. And that is something that no other game managed to accomplish as much as this one. So GREAT JOB @ NEWBLOOD

I plan on doing a full Evil Warrior video once the game is out

#

Same

#

Warrior mode is IMO, the best way to play

crystal spruce Feb 23, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

Yeah, it forces you to play differently and discover that some weapons are actually pretty damn useful against certain enemies

#

Like I never would have used the staff of Azure Orb against the spike mines if I hadn't played Warrior Mode

#

But it's probably the safest way to keep them back

is the times on PAR linked to the difficulty?

it's ok you're still cool

only cool when I can get hit all the lights in the first level of ep6

there needs to be an achievement for that!

unless there is one...

i almost got collector in a boss map but ended up unable to reach some weapons i forgot at the start

otherwise yeah it's pretty hard to get mainly because you are so oversupplied on ammo and health in most maps

#

@upper anchor Lmao E5M2 sounds upbeat to you? It's super hopeless sounding

outer belfry Feb 24, 2019, 3:15 AM

#

Dumb question: Does AE's protagonist have a name?

buoyant phoenix Feb 24, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

The champion afaik

I like when game protags at least have a nickname.

#

Like Point Man, Corvus, BJ Blazkowicz, Bitterman, Ranger, Champion, Doomguy...

night ginkgo Feb 24, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

players name is larry

#

type in aewizard to confirm

winged ibex Feb 24, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

His full name is Hamid E . Val

#

The E stands for Larry.

#

Or Elarry, the E is silent.

tough tinsel Feb 24, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

sorry, I meant have you made any other games yourself? like small stuff, game jam games or tech demos, etc.

#

i'm realizing that I don't know why I'm asking

night ginkgo Feb 24, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

Nah

#

I mean

#

return of the triad

#

which is a doom TC

tough tinsel Feb 24, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

i was struck with ~strange mood~

#

so I'm taking next month off from work and want to work on a dumb game

serene pilot Feb 24, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

Wait, the ORIGINAL Rise of the Triad?

night ginkgo Feb 24, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

no

tough tinsel Feb 24, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

I'm starting to think I should just make some doom maps

night ginkgo Feb 24, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

rott13

#

yeah doom maps are fun and easy

tough tinsel Feb 24, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

but i also want to make xcom

#

except the sims

#

where you don't get to take your soldier mans out on missions, but you get to watch them eat and piss and do the dumb inane shit they do when they're not shooting aliens

night ginkgo Feb 24, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

hahah

tough tinsel Feb 24, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

yeah, it's dumb

#

i just need to make a thing

#

i need to leave an ugly smear on this crappy world

winged ibex Feb 24, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Leon would've been like, 7 when the original Rise of the Triad came out.

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 11:56 AM

#

out of curosity what happend with ROTT and the optmisation? (I loved the option for the choice of music with having an option for the original!)

night ginkgo Feb 24, 2019, 11:58 AM

#

Game just has a lot going on

#

Needed more Dev time to optimize

crystal spruce Feb 24, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

Shame cause the soundtrack was amazing

proper oxide Feb 24, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

yeah it has some serious potential

#

just needs some severe cleaning up

crystal spruce Feb 24, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

I gave up at the final boss and took the easy ending

#

Everything leading up to that was frustrating

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

I... never got past the first boss.

#

I'm a picky nerd

proper oxide Feb 24, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

i never got past the first enemy

copper tundra Feb 24, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

so I played through the entirety of AE as it is rn

#

and honestly

#

it was a frustrating mess and I fucking loved it

#

frustrating in a good way

#

by all means

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

A mess? how so?

copper tundra Feb 24, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

I'm only calling it that because I love it a lot

#

it's actually very competently made

#

there's a few bugs with clipping through things here and there but apart from that very very well made

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

I see

copper tundra Feb 24, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

honestly AE is my 2nd favorite FPS from current times, first is dusk

#

I didn't expect to thoroughly enjoy this as much as I did and the fact that it was actually great really makes me happy.

#

only thing I have to say negative about it?

#

screw those fish in The Forges.

#

they're like the rats from dusk but worse and oh my god screw them

#

the sharks are good boys tho

#

good on you boys for making this hidden gem of a game

#

looking forward to The Abyss

proper oxide Feb 24, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

Frustrating mess?

#

Nani

copper tundra Feb 24, 2019, 1:05 PM

#

frustrating mess as in "this is a lot of fun and slightly frustrating and I love this and I'm calling it a mess because I'm still going to berate a good game"

proper oxide Feb 24, 2019, 1:09 PM

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

Is there no chance of a more optimised ROTT? Wouldn't even mind paying for a 'definitive' version of it if it had the optmisation fixes!

#

AMID EVIL in my opinion blows dusk away Axe

#

but I still enjoyed DUSK 😃

frosty drift Feb 24, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

ROTT 2013? probably not

#

with the state it's in it'd be better to just make a new entry

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

Sorry, yes i meant 2013 ROTT!

frosty drift Feb 24, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

it also runs on UE3 which is a pain to work on

lilac copper Feb 24, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

gameplaywise I prefer Dusk but oh man AE level design and general looks are a trip

#

takes me to a different place than Dusk does

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

Do you know if New Blood has the ROTT IP?

frosty drift Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

nah, apogee owns that

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

apogee fanfare plays

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

would love a reboot, especially after seeing what has been done with DUSK and AMID EVIL... but I'm sure some people are sick of reboots!

lilac copper Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

and that happens every time someone mentions Apogee

proper oxide Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

Yeah it's not in our control

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

How can it not?

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

thats how I wish to unlock my phone wit hthe apogee fanfare 😄

proper oxide Feb 24, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

Despite some of the staff here working on it

frosty drift Feb 24, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

never say never

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

A new entry for ROTT would be dope

heavy grove Feb 24, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

On the flip side maybe if it wasn't for ROTT 2013 maybe we wouldn't of had such a badass AMID EVIL

#

it has such an awesome sales point... OPTIMIZED to run on a toaster (a pretty nice toaster)

lilac copper Feb 24, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

was it optimized to run well only on a toaster or was the sales point that it does run on a toaster?

#

'cause I cant remember it running well

queen leaf Feb 24, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

Games running as they should are sales pitches nowadays...

#

Alas AE delivers that in spades

plucky isle Feb 24, 2019, 8:48 PM

the ep7 boss stage is "Chinese Food Sanctuary"

#

mark my words

tardy cove Feb 24, 2019, 9:09 PM

Meme Sanctuary

#

No-Name Sanctuary

#

Too many good choices xD

crystal spruce Feb 24, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

(It's gonna be either Abyssal Sanctuary or Sanctuary of the Abyss)

plucky isle Feb 24, 2019, 9:22 PM

you can see the level names when going thru ep7 portal, if you have all episodes completed

#

hexed passage is fucked up of course

limber radish Feb 24, 2019, 11:10 PM

It obviously wasn't going to be called sanctuary something because it's in a different dimension basically.

tardy cove Feb 24, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

Why not?

#

Eldritch Sanctuary

#

Or Darkness Sanctuary

limber radish Feb 24, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

It's not a sanctuary because no one is there

#

Only the creatures most likely

tardy cove Feb 24, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

...As in the rest of the episodes

limber radish Feb 24, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

Those other episodes were once sacred worlds with people or whatever was there worshipping that's why they are sanctuarys

#

It wouldn't make sense for the abyss

tardy cove Feb 24, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

We'll see

limber radish Feb 24, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

We don't need to we already have the name unless it gets changed

tardy cove Feb 24, 2019, 11:55 PM

I finally got Amid Evil

#

it's so good

#

but does anyone else find the filter annoying? I wish there was a way to change the "retrovision" like in Dusk, I can barely see enemies that are sniping me across the map

buoyant phoenix Feb 25, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

What filter?

#

Pixelisation? Because there is none

crystal spruce Feb 25, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

there's a weird fog effect in some levels

#

or it might be the pixelisation, hard to tell sometimes

#

it's most noticeable in the Astral Equinox

buoyant phoenix Feb 25, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

I think you're just talking about the game looks like oatmeal if you don't have anti aliasing on

crystal spruce Feb 25, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

huh

#

weird

winged ibex Feb 25, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

The game looks pretty piss without Anti Aliasing.

buoyant phoenix Feb 25, 2019, 4:41 AM

Not that weird, games just look pixely without AA

What is the "canon" order of worlds?

#

I just got out of the portal to the realm of Cthulu armor people and can't tell where in the hub to go next

#

(God it's a beautiful hub)

copper tundra Feb 25, 2019, 8:03 AM

#

I'd go for uh

#

solar solstice

serene pilot Feb 25, 2019, 8:06 AM

#

Alright, I will attempt to find that portal.

potent hatch Feb 25, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

the canon order is: astral equinox --> domain of the sentinels (?) --> the sacred path --> solar solstice --> the forges --> arcane expanses

plucky isle Feb 25, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

the canon order is: install the game --> new game --> quit game --> delet game --> refund

serene pilot Feb 25, 2019, 8:34 AM

#

Yes, sentinels, that is the one I just completed.

#

I'll do Sacred Path next.

#

@night ginkgo Please keep up the great work on AE sir! I just finished Episode 2 and loved it. I'm glad I stuck with it---the first episode was a bit basic with the enemy types but Episode 2 is when it first started clicking with me.

I have my computer connected up to a plasma screen, so for me the AA settings don't make much of a difference. But I can see if you are running it on a LED screen at regular HD that anti aliasing might make a difference.

Just fought the boss of Solar Solstice.

I got a friend to get Amid Evil

#

He had a suggestion

#

When the Moon Guardian kneels, he should stay like that and give the player the option to decapitate him

Instead of just randomly explode

@night ginkgo When

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:51 PM

Could that be a cheat that just increases the blood effects like 10 times?

I wish there was more blood when decapitating dudes with the Whisper's Edge btw

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

I wish you decapitated/halved dudes more often

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

u mean overkill? Yeah same

#

but u have soul mode tho

#

which makes the weps do so

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Yeah I guess

#

Does difficulty affect the number of souls you get cause I feel like I get to use Soul mode a lot less often on Evil

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

Yep

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

Evil feels less fun than Hard

#

I don't mind less pickups and more enemies, but more health makes weapons feel less powerful

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

imo the best way to play AE is Hard+Warrior Mode

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

Yeeeeeeee

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

feels much more balanced

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

Warrior Mode should be on by default

#

Makes you consider your options more

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

yeah but with a notification like "You are currently playin with Warrior Mode ON. This will take away all your weapons after completing a level" cause ppl will go nuts tryin to figure out why their guns are taken away lmao

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 10:58 PM

Or something in the Gateway

Hit a statue to activate/deactivate Warrior mode or something

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 10:59 PM

wow yeah

#

sounds really nice

#

I wish gateway had more tricks like that, feels a bit empty tbh, just a level select hub

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 11:00 PM

crystal spruce Feb 26, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

Actually speaking of the Sanctuary

#

Maybe at the middle, where the dev message is right now

#

Maybe that can be a big pillar with 6 slots, and the episodes are "canonically" ascending there to give players an idea in what order they should be done

plucky isle Feb 26, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

yeah thought of that too

buoyant copper Feb 27, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

Phew... The forge is something else.

crystal spruce Feb 27, 2019, 9:39 AM

#

It's pretty different

devout olive Feb 27, 2019, 9:46 AM

#

Still think it's the hardest episode

crystal spruce Feb 27, 2019, 9:48 AM

#

I found Arcane Expanse to be harder with Warrior Mode

#

Forges only really gave me trouble with the environmental dangers and getting lost in E5M3

signal quartz Feb 27, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

I wonder if Solar blademaster and Solar Archmage deserve buff in their attack speed, cause their attacks are quite easy to avoid.
Solar Archmage's fire dissipates quickly compared to Solar Knights' flame lances.
Solar Berserkers (green ones) and Solar Knights (guys with a shield) are much deadlier.

These guys are less deadlier compared to knights and green guys, especially in the open space.
On the other hand, solar tower's tight space makes them scarier...still knights and green guys are the deadliest in this world.

@tardy cove I know I'm in the minority here, but I really think the switch-hunting in Hexen is often over stated. On my most recent playthrough I made sure to take notes of things that look like they would be affected by switches when I first saw them (more like a CRPG) and I didn't have any problems. When I was 10 years old it was a different story admittedly

Just about to head into Arcane Expanse tomorrow, super excited after finishing the Forge--that external area was AWESOME. The way the lightning casts light through the fog that highlights all the structures above you in that watery area.

I do have some questions relating to Selenic Stronghold, though, if you don't mind some at this ungodly hour 😛

Also I should just set a nickname on this server, so I can change it freely to stupid stuff without confusing people.

I live in new zealand

so it's 11pm

#

a godly hour

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 9:56 AM

#

Ah, gotcha gotcha, lol.

#

Well, it feels very disconnected in terms of flow. Episode 2 and onwards has an ascension of difficulty that makes sense, things get progressively harder in a way that feels very good, but Selenic Stronghold/Astral Equinox in general feels a little too easy compared to the rest of the game. I think I saw this in the discussion tab on the community page, but are there plans to perhaps bring Ep 1 up a step ?

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

I mean EP1 is supposed to be easy really for people getting used to the game

#

what difficulty are you playing on?

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

Normal, because Evil difficulty scares me and I'm doing hard in my next playthrough.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

ah yeah well normal is meant to be kinda easy

#

like dave has trouble on normal so that's like for "average players"

#

if you've played doom or quake I'd say go for hard

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:04 AM

#

Ahhh, gotcha.

#

I've only had trouble so far due to being unfamiliar with enemies.

#

Like one in the Forge that shoots out a ton of needles when it gets close enough? I had no idea. Killed me immediately my first time seeing it.

#

I was expecting a slow but powerful melee enemy, but I got nailed to the wall instead.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

yeah always hard to convey that

#

but there's usually an autosave near places like that

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

I think it's hilarious honestly.

yeah we know about that^

#

just trying to figure out what causes it

#

none of the QA team has been able to replicate

signal quartz Mar 3, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

Oh I see, sry for bothering...
I'm currently stuck at twin terrors with evil difficulty so will try from the beginning of AE after that.
Never try a new area with the highest difficulty.😳

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

Do you think a visual effect of needles falling from the enemy as they move would convey their attack better? The Boss of the Forge has a similar effect that conveys his invincibility period.

#

Implying that they're full to nearly exploding with their appropriate projectile.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:14 AM

#

you can bother me with comments/questions, don't mind at all

#

yeah maybe they could puke nails out their mouth in standby

#

heh

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:15 AM

#

Yeah, that would be super helpful in letting the player see that there's something more going on there.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:17 AM

#

good idea

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

Thank you! I get em from time to time.

#

Oh, next time I'm in game, there's a place in the second level of the first episode that you can get stuck in very easily and not get out of without some janky movement stuff.

#

I'll take a screen and ping you with it.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:23 AM

#

k

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:36 AM

#

https://my.mixtape.moe/dtgqgv.mp4 @night ginkgo Apologies for the bad quality, but as you can see, while standing the player can get out relatively easy. But if they go in while crouching, they get stuck in a loop of repeatedly falling and 'hitting the ground' that prevents any sort of movement without holding your mouse at a very specific angle.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

oh whattttt

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

https://my.mixtape.moe/mgqkai.mp4 And here's how I got out, just because it looks super strange.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

I thought that was fixed

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:40 AM

#

I think you'll just have to stuff something in there to prevent the slightly-too-curious player from getting stuck.

#

Funfact: it took me a solid twenty minutes of wiggling and key spamming to get out of there the first time I found it. 😛

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 10:42 AM

#

oh yeah I think it might have been reverted

#

I just chucked a block in there last time

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 10:45 AM

#

Ah! Yeah that's probably the case.

signal quartz Mar 3, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

It's over, Arcane Expanse is over....now what.
Wait for the next patch...nope play further...

Personally I think it's the best episode, in term of both level design, graphic, difficulty.

Hopefully ep 7 will live up to it

signal quartz Mar 3, 2019, 11:05 AM

Ep 6's graphic is totally different from those man-made structures in Ep 1 to 4, and 5's internal structures.
Eldritch is strong with Ep6.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

Idk if it's Eldritch, it's more mystical feeling to me

#

Ep7 is like abstract Gothic

#

Ep2 is kinda Eldritch with the enemies

signal quartz Mar 3, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

If it's not eldritch, then I'd call it alien...
Yeap ep's 2 enemies look somewhat Lovecraftian. 😃

#

Ep 6 made me feel like as if I was in a totally different dimension.
Floating rocks!

#

and creepy structures depicting huge eyes.

night ginkgo Mar 3, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

It's definitely dimensional feeling

and those winding paths above the sky + serene music...

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 11:18 AM

#

I don't know what my favorite level is yet honestly.

#

I wanna say The Forge. It's madness in a really beautiful way imo.

#

It's got a creepy atmosphere, spooky enemies with an awesome boss.

#

Though the grapple hook guys are absolutely nightmarish. Especially on that weird wall mounted whirly gig that you get the key from.

signal quartz Mar 3, 2019, 11:23 AM

#

The Forge shines with its outside level (the first one).
A little shame the rest takes place inside.

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 11:23 AM

#

Hey Leon. How large is the Abyss planned to be? And will there be an Easter Egg related to flOw and it's abyss level? 😛 ~~second question is jokes tbh~~

#

I think the gauntlet of pain is the star of the Forge.

signal quartz Mar 3, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

Yeap those creepy devices, they kill you.

buoyant copper Mar 3, 2019, 11:26 AM

Everything about it feels really good in pacing. You're running a trial as well as trying to survive. the Forge is definitely gonna be a soft-wall in my hard mode run.
