Do the new Ep3 enemies have a bit more religious theme to them?

and is ep7 going to consist of lots of these single, open passageways , or is that just one level, like the opening to the forge?

and there's lots more than just those guys, but most enemies have that effect in some way

and I do very much like how you can now see more of those giant claws
cinder mist
and is ep7 going to consist of lots of these single, open passageways , or is that just one level, like the opening to the forge? this is only one level
there's going to be variety of open and enclosed spaces

DUSK takes that role in my library with 98h rn, but AE is definitely second with like 40

Dota 2 with 2k+ something hours

I only have 400-something hours in Dark Souls

Honestly don't even have a single game I invested so many hours in. I think the top ones would be dark souls with like 250 and Borderlands 2 with 220 or so

if minecraft was on steam that would be by a long shot my most played game

Simple solution, play the Pre Pre Pre Alpha demo to death now

Only thing preventing me to put some more hours in AE is that HoE feels quite unbalanced with all those new enemies added rn
It just gets old quick cuz the mix of enemies destroys the pacing for me
crystal spruce
I just replay the campaign while listening to something in the background
hexed obsidian
I liked it better in the beginning tbh. Yeah, I've done that, listened to some audio books in the background actually
crystal spruce
What do you mean in the beginning
hexed obsidian
When HoE only consisted of The Forges. The pool of enemies encountered there just gel'ed together a lot better imo
devout olive
lmao I never even realised endless abbreviates as hoe
never waste your diamonds on a hoe kids
hexed obsidian
Yeah. I'm sure it will get a bunch of passes before it's final, just not as enjoyable as it could be in its current state to me
devout olive
early hoe when it was just the episode 1 enemies was really solid tbh
hexed obsidian
Yeah
crystal spruce
How does it work? I thought you could choose between like 6 stages from each episode with corresponding enemies
hexed obsidian
Nah, it'll be 3 maps, 2 are available rn
And as of now, I think all enemy types up to E5 are spawning
devout olive
yep
crystal spruce
At the same time or progressively?
hexed obsidian
They mix
hexed obsidian
But are coming in waves with increased difficulty
devout olive
I'm working on getting custom endless added just so you guys know
hexed obsidian
Yeah, I'd like it better if the enemies were divided into maps or even waves
buoyant phoenix
You the mvp Gilby
devout olive
but yeah I'm noting this stuff down for inde chat as well 👍
hexed obsidian
With a random Episode-specific enemy set coming each wave
That'd actually be really awesome
hexed obsidian
I mean it's been confirmed that there will only be 3 arenas
buoyant phoenix
Ideally it should be one arena for each ep, and if you want all the enemies it'd be the Ep7 arena
Afaik Ep7 features all the enemies of the game
devout olive
we'll see but I think for now it'll just be 3 arenas guys
hexed obsidian
But it could be wave 1 -3 -> only E1 enemies, wave 4-6 -> only E2 and so on
devout olive
don't want too much feature creep just before release
hexed obsidian
Or just: one wave - enemies from one (random) episode
And then difficulty increases through number and kind of enemies as waves progress
That'd be kind of the same as your suggestion, Soulmyr, only that there are only 3 arenas. You'd still have 7 enemy sets that are tiered in difficulty according to their wave (wave 1 - few, minor enemies to wave 999 - many, tough enemies), just that they are then chosen randomly according to the wave on all three arenas
tardy cove
I wonder how enemies from all episodes would be implemented in ep 7, along with its native inhabitants
I think the most logical route would be some kind of summoner enemy
buoyant phoenix
That thing about Ep7 having all enemies is from some time back, might or might not be outdated
tardy cove
I think it would clash a bit if they just appear there just because
But we'll see, I guess
hexed obsidian
Maybe it's a DUSK E3M8 kinda deal
tardy cove
But in the context of that map it makes sense to encounter enemies from all over the game, since the map itself is a combination of previous levels
Ep 7 is supposed to be a whole new environment
lone hatch
Cool Minecraft shader no name game
buoyant phoenix
Most logically it would be the evil gathering all of its pawns in a desperate attempt to stop the champ
hexed obsidian
Could have “islands“ of the other eps
The evil just ripping parts out of other dimensions and spawning them into the abyss
But yeah idk
Guess we'll have to find out soon
tardy cove
hexed obsidian
I actually regret that I spoiled myself a little by noclipping around the hub and accidentally going through the gate that leads to E7
It's minor but still a bit of a reveal
woeful saffron
I remember when that was a huge thing where one person found out and then the rest including myself all tried to noclip out of the hub to the Ep7 portal, it is def a bit of a reveal for sure
buoyant phoenix
Ep7 portal just takes me to the main menu for me
woeful saffron
Well just how stuff kind've happens
crystal spruce
What if all the enemies from the game are in Ep.7 but have new textures to make them all corrupt or something
Question for @night ginkgo Why are the HUD rectangles for Domain of the Sentinels not greyscale like the rest?
buoyant phoenix
All the eps have different hud backgrounds
gateway and sacred path is mesoamerican bricks
The forges is metal and so on
crystal spruce
Yes but all of them (except Domain) is grey-ish
Sacred path is more like brown with some vegetation, but, Domain is really green
woeful saffron
I'd rather not have retextured previous enemies
It just gets monotonous to a point
I want unpredictable unworldly enemies
limber radish
They could be similar in appearance and shape but have different attacks and stuff
woeful saffron
Idk sounds a bit like a slippery slope
Sounds lazy even, just my opinion though, take it how you want
crystal spruce
I get where you're coming from, but it's appropriate for a final level gauntlet-type event
limber radish
It's not lazy if they are different then the original not in texture btw
crystal spruce
I like what DUSK did
Although apparently lot of people hate that second-to-last level
woeful saffron
Amid Evil seems to try to avoid repetition by having a completely different roster of enemies (usually) every episode, so in my opinion they should keep to it
And yeah the second last level got mixed impressions
I don't love it, nor do I hate it
limber radish
Like I said this can be avoided by making similar enemies but not the same, as well as completely new ones
Imo
woeful saffron
I understand what you're saying, and as I said before it is a slippery slope, but yeah if they have a strong identity to them and unique attacks
then it could probably pass
limber radish
Also leon might have changed this it was a while ago when he revealed that
woeful saffron
Yeah I remember reading through this chat and read something of that
limber radish
That was before ep 5 was out
woeful saffron
Quite a few months ago then
limber radish
So it might have been changed
woeful saffron
Hell maybe even half a year ago
woeful saffron
I just want to see something unique and completely alien, something that will make my jaw drop
which I'm sure the final boss will indeed do that
limber radish
That will already be there
Just add similar enemies to the ep to
And there you go
woeful saffron
I'm excited to hear that the arena will get some more feature creep to it as well, modifying the roster of enemies in waves etc
limber radish
Honestly I hope the abyss goes for a creepy and unnerving atmosphere
woeful saffron
I have no doubts that it will be anything but that
limber radish
I think it would be nice to have something like that in amid evil
woeful saffron
just the pictures and names of the levels give off that feeling
limber radish
Yep
woeful saffron
and Leon's level designing skills are like on the Chinese noodle food spectrum
limber radish
Lol
Ep 7 has been the most interesting episode for me ever since I saw the "???" Image before ep 4 was out
It looked very interesting
woeful saffron
Probably the point of it's advertising and overarching design
limber radish
Yep
woeful saffron
At the end of I think every trailer it has the similar tunnel, going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole
woeful saffron
Ever since the beginning, we have slowly been approaching this ultimate appropriate climax
crystal spruce
I love how "alien" the architecture feels
Even Astral Equinox and Solar Solstice, which are the closest to medieval castles, feel distinct with the curves and arches
It almost feels eastern, in a way
Forges is basically alien without any aliens
And Arcane Expanses is otherworldly
I love it
hexed obsidian
Yeah, architecture and level design are just super imaginative in general, really impressive to see such great execution with such basic building blocks
hexed obsidian
Just did a little boss rush and noticed the following thing: When facing the forgemaster, I saved with him in the vulnerable state and 2 switches on cooldown. When loading, the forgemaster is not in his vulnerable state anymore (not such a big deal) and all switches display as triggerable, but only the one remaining one is actually triggerable. The others leave cooldown eventually, but you can't see it, you just gotta try.
night ginkgo
I got the bug report, ty
shadow seal
I was reading some old messages on this channel and @night ginkgo said that you may or may not meet the archmage of chaos, and in the ep6 trailer, it said that the arcane expanse was enslaved by chaos. is there any link between the two?
night ginkgo
the 'enslaved by chaos' is something dave made up to sound cool
Their world is now fragmented by their experiments; remnants floating in a nebula.
They found the evil force during one of their experiments, it instantly corrupted their leader, the Archmage of Chaos, in turn he exchanged his soul to summon two deadly creatures from the evil abyss.
As they grew more evil they enslaved creatures of the living-crystal dimension, twisting them into hideous beasts to serve as their vanguard.
that's the official lore for ep6 ^

thanks

Is there gonna be an intro monologue to each world to chine the player in on what's going on
night ginkgo
nah
crystal spruce
So the story's gonna be wall scribbles only?
crystal spruce
Would be useful, codex is kind of empty right now
night ginkgo

buoyant phoenix
Do the crystal warriors come from the living crystal dimension

shadow seal
there. that problem has been fixed. I have done my part
night ginkgo
I guess steam has to update
night ginkgo
ye there we go
crystal spruce
I'm curious, did you make the achievement icons with some Bevel & Emboss in photoshop?
limber radish
The crystal dimension sounds like a beautiful place hope to see it in a expansion or something
crystal spruce
If there's an expansion I wanna see a snow-themed world
limber radish
^that to
woeful saffron
Well it's good to know that an expansion has been considered, just a few messages ago from Leon the man, the myth, the noodle

queen leaf
Imma gonna watch it again
night ginkgo
I must have a copy somewhere
queen leaf
It's been a while
night ginkgo
I think last time I watched it was on video lol
queen leaf
Fuck I'll get in 4K Blu ray lol

I remember the brain bug when I was a kid
woeful saffron
Yeeeep both freaked me out and inspired me
queen leaf
in...inspired?
woeful saffron
I drew a lot when I was younger and played Spore Galactic Adventures making creatures and stuff
good times indeed
Come to think of it, I could've made my reason to be inspired really unsettling... damn 
proper oxide
fuckin starship troopers and space balls defined a summer for me when i was a kid
woeful saffron
Yo Space Balls was the bomb
WE'VE BEEN JAMMED
brazen forge
Yeah brainbug was gross
signal quartz
I hear 3D Realm is going to reveal their new game based on Quake1 engine...wonder what it looks like...
woeful saffron
Tomorrow they will reveal it
night ginkgo
reee talk about it in gaming not here
woeful saffron
woopsy doopsy you're true on that
signal quartz
Watching episode 6's trailer again...wondering more of that unknown female voice lines can be added in the future...
night ginkgo
why's that
signal quartz
Because her voice is awesome. 😃
plucky isle
Warrior! Prepare thyself! They cum.
night ginkgo
please no
plucky isle
too late
signal quartz
Champion, it's lunch time!
Nah I think the game is fine without additional voice lines, right?
night ginkgo
yeah
I didn't want the voice personally
but dave was like rahrahrah we need a voice
signal quartz
Welcome back, Champion! is a nice addition, I think...imagine the hub area without that line after finishing an episode.
plucky isle
lmao the first early access builds did not have this line iirc
night ginkgo
they didn't
upper anchor
imagine the hub area with some gravelly smoker's voice, "Ugh, you again?"
night ginkgo
imagine a freaky alien voice but with subtitles
signal quartz
@upper anchor 😳

you can type ae something-a-rather and it will look like that
I can't remember the code
dark granite
hexed obsidian
Wait, is this the aesthetic mode that used to be all purple and trippy?
night ginkgo
nah there's another one that turns post processing on full blast
AETHEORY
that's it
hexed obsidian
Ah
Regarding the voice, I actually like it a lot, gives a sense of an overarching narrative accompanying you through the campaign without being too intrusive
Talking about voices, we need a mod that says "Amid Evil" in the Resident Evil voice after pressing start in the menu on startup
night ginkgo
heh
lilac copper
lol
crystal spruce
How bout a mod that says the studio name so I know how to pronounce it
night ginkgo
we both really liked the hornblower series
he serves on the indefatigable
I like it
it means 'unable to be fatigued" so like unstoppable or whatever
Indefatigable (aka "The Indie") was one of the key ships in the Horatio Hornblower series of novels by C. S. Forester.
also they call it "the indie"
so it's a kinda double meaning lol
also IRL it was a very successful ship of the line
crystal spruce
Ah ok, that's cool
limber radish

@hexed obsidian AMID EEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIL
crystal spruce
AMID EEEEEEEEVIL
signal quartz
So 3D Realms have announced a new fps and Amid Evil is still in early access!?
The fate of New Blood now lies in the hands of Leon dude...HYPE.
crystal spruce
3DR announced a new FPS and their own Ion Maiden is still in Early Access so
signal quartz
Oh yes, it's still in early access state as well.
night ginkgo
Umm
Don't forget simmo
Anyway AE is getting there
We just put the ending of the game in
steel brook
New Blood did the same thing Soul, it'll be fine
Plus Wrath isn't actually going to be playable for like 3 more months
queen leaf
crystal spruce
You fucking better not
Or I'll come to NZ and kick your ass all the way to Mordor
queen leaf
signal quartz
@night ginkgo Nooooo I want to play AE more! Plz don't deleeeeeeete.
signal quartz
My play time of AE is still 40 hours...
crystal spruce
Putting points into Intimidation was worth it
signal quartz
Dusk 36 hours, Quake1 51 hours, Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo 1 hour(I beat arcade mode, maaaaan), DOOM2 20 hours, DOOM2016 38 hours.
queen leaf
No doubt
night ginkgo
I used to live it in the 90s
crystal spruce
Ok grandpa
steel brook
I've tracked my hours on Steam since I bought it ages ago, I only have 48 sadly
night ginkgo
Yeah thanks son
queen leaf
Oi respect your elders
crystal spruce
Question is how many hours do you have in Heretic and Hexen?
crystal spruce
Reverse for me
Hexen's cool but only 3 weapons and too much faffing about
Never finished Deathknights
crystal spruce
Well 1 is practically useless
crystal spruce
Cleric was my favorite because that fire spell was fucking baller
And Wrathverge kicks ass
queen leaf
Cleric ftw
crystal spruce
I don't remember the deal with Fighter's blue axe, was it just another melee weapon or did it have some ranged properties?
crystal spruce
So what was the point of having both fists and axe?
night ginkgo
It's dank
queen leaf
Fists is starter weapon
night ginkgo
Yeah the weapons are weird
queen leaf
and axe is the 2nd you get
crystal spruce
Yeah but they're both melee weapons
night ginkgo
The axe does much damage tho
crystal spruce
Hmm
night ginkgo
Mage is the best
night ginkgo
Wat
crystal spruce
The lightning storm
crystal spruce
It's no Wraithverge
night ginkgo
Forget the name
night ginkgo
It's no wraith verge
crystal spruce
Wraithverge is just so much better than the other final weapons
crystal spruce
The Fighter's sword is also cool, kinda like Whisper's Edge on steroids
crystal spruce
Is that where Whisper's edge comes from
queen leaf
Hexen 2 co-op with my old man and younger brother was a blast
night ginkgo
Epic, I played it in coop with my brother
crystal spruce
Voltride is the best name
buoyant phoenix

crystal spruce
It just makes so much sense it's perfect
night ginkgo
Fuck egpyt and it's shit puzzles
Haha really?
I thought it was like an obvious name lol
queen leaf
remember "accidentally" team killing with the ballista
night ginkgo
Volt trident
crystal spruce
Idk man it's just so fitting
night ginkgo
Cool heh
buoyant phoenix
Aeternum is cool
night ginkgo
Glad you like it
crystal spruce
Star of Torment is also really metal sounding, like a torture device
night ginkgo
Yeet
crystal spruce
Aeturnum is cool, but I prefer Big Purple Seaweed
night ginkgo
Took some brainstorming
buoyant phoenix

Some of the cut weapons
Sparkle Canon
Gem launcher
Flame lightning
crystal spruce
Ooooohh
night ginkgo
They might show up in an expansion
buoyant phoenix
Sparkle cannon
crystal spruce
Isn't Gem Launcher basically Star of Torment?
night ginkgo
No
buoyant phoenix
Gem launcher is for the crystal expansion
buoyant phoenix
What if it was lightning fire AND blood
night ginkgo
Since I know a lot more about me systems
crystal spruce
Ok his is called Red Lightning Hose
night ginkgo
Ue
crystal spruce
It was the 90s
night ginkgo
It will show up some time
crystal spruce
Where do I throw my money
buoyant phoenix
An aenemy's attack?
night ginkgo
Also one day I'm gonna make the Grail gun
buoyant phoenix
What if it fired holy grenades
night ginkgo
A rail gun but it shoots grenades
queen leaf
I'll take twenty
crystal spruce
Put a cross on top for iron sights
night ginkgo
Because why not
Anyway I have a zillion ideas for dumb weapons, it's just a matter of making them
buoyant phoenix
Yeah 500 told us you're insaenely creative
crystal spruce
I think you mean awesome weapons
night ginkgo
I'm not
queen leaf
I got one, alien scorpion gatling gun
night ginkgo
I'm just insane
queen leaf
would call it the stinger but that name is taken
night ginkgo
That's cool
queen leaf
have a few sketches and a whole draw animation storyboard done
buoyant phoenix
I bet you can relate to the Joker then Leon
night ginkgo
Like that movie where Kurt Russell fires a snake out of a bazooka
queen leaf
so basically picking it up has a little animation where the wielder gets curious on what the fuck he's carrying
crystal spruce
I fire a snake out of my pants, knowhamsayin
queen leaf
ah no it's like some alien insect creature that behaves like a gun
it's alive and though mad science
weaponized
night ginkgo
Isn't that like a serious Sam enemy
queen leaf
That's like a lot of Serious Sam enemies
crystal spruce
Kind of
queen leaf
Mental just hordes whatever might be deadly and clones it
crystal spruce
Actually I thought of this
queen leaf
One enemy was created though his obsession with slasher movies
crystal spruce
Prey had some really cool weapons
buoyant phoenix
Is the peener the trigger
queen leaf
with each barrel being a individual stinger that can move on it's own
night ginkgo
Ok 230am I sleep
