New Piss Meter in Amid Evil you now have to regularly go piss at various toilets stationed around the level. If you let the piss meter stay full for too long you get a game over screen that says "Boom Soiled"

I have spent the last half hour smashing every pot in the gateway, and there is ONE FUCKING POT THAT I JUST CAN'T FIND AND ITS DRIVING ME MAD! were there any pots deviously hidden out of bounds to annoy people like me or am I just stupid?

@night ginkgo @cinder mist

Gonna buy Amid Evil just for the piss meter

night ginkgo
#

#

I think there's one in the ep7 gate

or it's just somewhere you missed

I'm wondering why this game features such a massive amount of auto-saves.

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

sour linden
#

Whats the font used in Amid Evil? I've tried Vermin Vibes and altrough close, it isn't the same

#

@signal quartz because maps are massive and having your progress all reverted is annoying, its actually what i most appreciate on DUSK and Amid Evil.

#

Well, amybe only on Amid Evil, just remembered DUSK doesn't have autosaves.

buoyant phoenix
#

It's foughtknight

#

Same Creator, no wonder why it was damn similar. Thanks @buoyant phoenix

Real heretics never rest

#

What happens when you go to sleep with full souls

versed violet
#

You have to speak to all the souls you collected and ask for their forgiveness

#

Thats why you should always use up your soul mode at the end of a level

blissful widget
#

does dusk have ctf yet?

limber radish
#

@blissful widget no also this is the amid evil channel

versed violet
#

Thought he was memeing

Indeed, I've experienced that! All those souls sitting there, mad at you... It's like the worst thanksgiving dinner of all time!

upper anchor
#

naw, you just gotta give them a stern look and tell them all to fuck off because youre busy saving the universe

signal quartz
#

I just finished Ep6 without using soul mode...Leon dude, we need a difficulty above evil difficulty!

night ginkgo
#

oof

#

ok

#

evil difficulty changed: all enemies wield aeturnum black holes

winged ibex
signal quartz
#

The interdimensional evil in AE is definitely Leon dude.

night ginkgo
#

33 reviews till overwhelmingly positive

#

that's gonna be so sick

#

can't believe we actually did it

buoyant phoenix
#

So guys we did it

night ginkgo
#

winged ibex
#

Make your next game a game that ruins your reputation so you can redeem yourselves again.

night ginkgo
#

lmao ironically yes

devout olive
#

inb4 next 33 reviews are all negs

winged ibex
#

Make every other game bad and every other game good.

devout olive
#

I swear there was actually some publisher or developer or something that was like that

queen leaf
#

Hey you blokes made Return of the Triad, TC I know but that counts in my book.

devout olive
#

return of the triad - good

#

bombshell- bad

#

ae- good

crystal spruce
#

Wait I thought Interceptor/Slipgate made Bombshell

night ginkgo
#

Yeah they did

#

We worked for them

#

And we worked on rott and rad Rodgers

#

And I did misc stuff on the packs that were released

#

And the Duke 2 Port stuff for ios

#

Done a lot of stuff

crystal spruce
#

Ah ok, cool

night ginkgo
#

Yeet

#

No

#

Stop

proper oxide
#

Now Leon is making AE and after that hes making amulets and armor 2

night ginkgo
#

Actually that would be cool

#

But yeah nah

proper oxide
#

It would be

night ginkgo
#

We make our own shit

proper oxide
#

Right you don't do games with armor

#

I forgot

devout olive
#

amulets

#

Can't wait for RoTT RPG exclusively for iOS

#

Amid Evil Expansion: Corrupted Evil, just saying.

night ginkgo
#

Hmmm

#

It would probably be the black labyrinth actually

#

If we did an expansion

buoyant phoenix
#

Corrupted Evil seems a bit redudantly redundant

proper oxide
#

There's so much you can do with AE

#

it's like unlimited potential

night ginkgo
#

Yeah like cancel it

proper oxide
#

At least AE doesn't have mp

signal quartz
#

English isn't my native language...no cancel plz!

night ginkgo
#

Oh wow we're just joking lol

#

95% of this chat is not serious

#

Take everything you see here with a grain of salt

#

Also lmao Leon you just locked yourself into finishing AE

#

Big lose for you

Fug

#

I could jump off a bridge...

#

That would stop AE from being finished

devout olive

you can jump off that waterfall

#

How does the developement for episode 7 go fellow Heretics

#

More importantly, when's the beta testing for the new Sacred Path

#

Oh wait is SP getting a major rework?

#

Leon said there's a few new enemies and ghost dudes have been moved to Ep.7

radiant rain
#

I didn't find Sacred Path as bad as folks make it out to be. I'm not opposed to a change though, interesting that the ghosts got moved to EP7.

crystal spruce
#

It's not bad but it's pretty lackluster when you compare it to the other episodes.

limber radish
#

^

#

More rock enemies or maybe something else yay

#

The ghost were probably moved because they didn't fit the sacred path and leon said a while back they actually live in the abyss so

#

Way before any talk of a overhaul for sacred path

tardy cove
#

A bit more enemy variety would be nice

#

On that episode, I mean

woeful saffron
#

Talks of a new vine enemy has been mentioned for SP

crystal spruce
#

Vine would fit, there's a lot of vegetation in the ruins, and some on the big golem

woeful saffron
#

I have no doubt it will be worse in anyway

#

I'm excited to see any new content come for AE and even from Leon and Simmo

crystal spruce
#

Same

woeful saffron
#

Though I am going into withdrawal of AE content, been a bit since we've seen anything new

proper oxide
#

thats cause the last ep is taking a bit longer cause its, yknow, the last ep

woeful saffron
#

I need my fix

proper oxide
#

lotsa stuff to get done

woeful saffron
#

all good

proper oxide
#

tho there miiiiiiiight be another decent update before that ;)

woeful saffron
#

I was pretty sure that would be the case, considering talk of Sacred Path and arena stuff

proper oxide
#

ye

woeful saffron
#

Oh well Sekiro is coming out soon this month so hopefully that will tide me over till new AE content

crystal spruce
#

Sekiro and DMC5 are a nice break from Amid Evil

woeful saffron
#

Yeah the 22nd can't come fast enough

night ginkgo
#

Also ep7 would come out faster if I got a good night's sleep

SHUT THE FUCK UP

crystal spruce
#

I'm sure there's easily gonna be more reviews once the game's out of EA

night ginkgo
#

yeah for sure

queen leaf
#

cannot wait!

night ginkgo
#

but getting 'overwhelingly' before release is a big deal

#

your game gets more promotion

crystal spruce
#

Oh I see

#

Well I hope AE gets it

queen leaf
#

Couldn't think of any other game that deserves it rn

lone hatch
queen leaf
#

Didn't DUSK reach it during EA?

lone hatch
#

Yeah I'm just shitpostin

crystal spruce
#

I felt like Dusk was more advertised

night ginkgo
#

Yeah dusk is more popular

#

But also had a longer build up than AE

queen leaf
#

AE's reveal was great though, I remember saying along of the lines of "Another FPS?! yeet"

crystal spruce
#

Maybe it's also got more mass appeal, because horror + quake + blood

night ginkgo
#

Yeah might be

#

You know fantasy is one of the top selling genres on steam

#

But I guess AE is more niche that it's FPS

crystal spruce
#

Yeah fantasy usually goes with RPG

#

But on the flipside

#

You can market AE as "The best fantasy FPS ever made"

queen leaf
#

Wouldn't wanna piss off Heretic_txt now would we ๐Ÿ˜›

Speaking of

I haven't played though Hexen II: Shadows of Chaos yet

wow really?

#

damn was hoping it was a more streamlined experience

#

the shadows of chaos mod is more streamlined

#

Hey @night ginkgo, I have a question about Amid Evil, not sure if its a bug or intended.

night ginkgo
#

it's a bug

#

they're only supposed to hurt from the front

frail hound
#

ah right, figured as much

#

thanks for clarifying

Only 29 reviews to go to overwhelmingly positive. Leave a review if you haven't already tothetop

Should be doable until full release

night ginkgo
#

Ye

frail hound
#

I need to write my review

#

it'll be based only on what I've played so far, which isn't too much - but I genuinely like what I've played.

drifting sleet
#

Time to stare at Amid Evil until it updates!

night ginkgo
#

ikr

#

that's what I'm doing right now

drifting sleet
#

The last moment touches hmm~? Good luck~

crisp maple
#

How's the replayability of the game?

proper oxide
#

There isn't any randomization, but there is 4 difficulty levels and a ton of hard to find secrets

crystal spruce
#

It's worth replaying on Warrior mode

night ginkgo
#

There's also horde mode if that's your bag

crystal spruce
#

Aesthetic Mode is also worth a playthrough imo

#

That jam is hella fire 100 as the kids say

signal quartz
#

Since I beat all the available levels on evil difficulty, maybe it's time to try warrior mode thing?

night ginkgo
#

play the game with your monitor up side down

Hmmm. I might have a suggestion to the game actually. I wonder how the others feel about it

#

Go ahead

I have noticed that the quickload button disables at the moment you die. Is there a way to reload without clicking one of the options?

#

it was actually supposed to be originally lol

woeful saffron
#

A swiss knife in amid evil?

Damn I miss bionicles, that shit was my childhood

tardy cove
#

Can't wait to do some AE gardening

woeful saffron
#

Turns out the character in Amid Evil is on probation and these are his service hours that we play through

cinder mist
#

my response is hell yeah

#

gilby's right, the axe was originally gonna be the only weapon

#

you would collect gems that would transform it into different firing modes

#

thats why it has the design it has with all the separate parts

dark granite
#

the weapons all still have a gem of some sort right?

#

iirc

#

except aeternum i guess

cinder mist
#

yeah we kept that idea

#

aeternum IS the gem

dark granite
#

i still cant get the memory of pre-ribbon candy aeternum out of my head

The idea of one weapon morphing into other weapons is cool, Hard Reset did that

#

Hack devs release unfinished game on steam

#

theres actually 4 total

cinder mist
#

dave knows

crystal spruce
#

Have you noticed the Champion has no pants in the art

dark granite
#

2 of them are hard cast resin display models

drifting sleet
#

In the meantime, we thinking about E6M3 strats

dark granite
#

and 2 of them are made of like a polyurethane foam as a prop

#

so you dont hurt yourself on them

lone hatch
#

@drifting sleet sex sells my friend

#

Duck wrong person

#

Lol

cinder mist
#

and i havent seen or wielded ANY of them

dark granite
#

quite literally the first thing that happened when dave opened the first axe was tear a hole in his shirt

crystal spruce
#

lol

cinder mist
#

hahaha

dark granite
#

the hard ones are heavy and pointy

#

the foam ones are a better bet

crystal spruce
#

But can you spin it like the game?

cinder mist
#

thats the inate power of the axe of the black citadel

#

that was the second thing we did

dark granite
#

cinder mist
#

crystal spruce
#

Next time you should make mana pickups

#

You can't hurt yourself with those

#

I think

lone hatch
#

You can if you try hard enough

proper oxide
#

when we getting an option to choose between sprite pick-ups and model pick-ups

crystal spruce
#

^

dark granite
#

fuck i remember playing with the model pick ups

cinder mist
#

fuck those things

proper oxide
#

i loved them tbh

crystal spruce
#

I liked them in the screenshots Leon posted

dark granite
#

i gotta say they were neat because of how heavily geometric they were

#

but i dont prefer one over the other

cinder mist
#

the sprites are literally the same but sprites

dark granite
#

yep p. much

proper oxide
#

listen nothing was cooler than crouching into a blood orb and entering the meat realm

crystal spruce
#

I like that the models aren't as pixelated

dark granite
#

they just rotate at a lower framerate

#

because fuck baking 60fps pickups

#

lmao

cinder mist
#

amid evil dlc: the meat realm

I somehow launched an enemy with a star of torment through an eye-shaped portal at E6M1.

#

I mean a large hall with a winding path in the air.

night ginkgo
#

Yeah I know the place

cinder mist
#

holy shit lmao

#

thats great

tardy cove
#

Let that be a warning to those on the other side

crystal spruce
#

lol

drifting sleet
#

I've had that happen too, yeah

#

I will have to try launching enemies through portals! Glad to hear you are adding more enemies as well! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

crystal spruce

How's progress going on the garden enemies

night ginkgo
#

goin alright

#

would be better if I wasn't so insomniac right now

Leon doesn't even know which cube he's in rn

#

yeah it's fucked

:/

#

I feel mentally drained

crystal spruce
#

Are you allowed to nap on the office couch?

proper oxide
#

What office

#

You think NB has an office?

#

Big funny

crystal spruce
#

Alright then, is he allowed to rest his head on the desk for an indefinite amount of time

proper oxide
#

He's allowed to sleep whenever

#

Just make sure that dave is happy

frosty drift
#

And forever

#

Haha

proper oxide
#

Sleep for eternity

#

Well try not to catch a cold

frosty drift
#

Wish I could sleep till skyrim 2 comes out

There's no office lmao

#

Leon dude needs a hug...

faint storm
#

just had a bug in hexed passage where pressing caps lock seemed to break toggling autorun back on and also broke jump

night ginkgo
#

huh

#

I'll look into it

faint storm
#

It happened after the gold key, going up the wooden passage of green glass crabs

night ginkgo
#

It would probably happen anywhere in the game, if you can get it to happen again, would help a lot

versed violet
#

Scuse me shill i was reading

faint storm
#

Ha, I moved autorun to key way across the other side of the keyboard to avoid it ever happening again, but I'll do my best to break it again!

#

I imagine it might have related to toggling it because it didn't actually do anything after accidentally pressing it, then doing a quicksave and quickload

#

Can't imagine why jump would die from anything related to autorun tho

#

But that was probably because of the quickload with a broken autorun

#

I'll see what I can do

tardy cove
#

Yo, only 21 reviews left for that sweet OP rating in Steam

night ginkgo
#

irk

#

so cool

#

never thought we'd get such good reviews

faint storm
#

why?

night ginkgo
#

because all the other games we worked on never got any where near as high reviews

#

mind you we were never in charge of dev/design

signal quartz
frosty drift
#

@night ginkgo literally unplayable

devout olive
#

literally literally

night ginkgo
#

Auto save or quick save

signal quartz
#

It's an autosave at e6m2, made when a key in the air is taken.
The area with 3 blue switches and corresponding floating platforms in the air.

night ginkgo
#

Ok weird will look into it

signal quartz
#

I appreciate it, I'll try to play this level again later.

faint storm
#

@signal quartz i believe i had that same bug yesterday, it's where the gold key is above the moving pillars?

signal quartz
faint storm
#

yeah, that's also where i had a quicksave bug

#

whilst i was trying to find a save that wasn't broken, i noticed i was falling to death and it must have been a save i made (or the game made?) at the top of one of those pillars

signal quartz
#

Thankfully pressing forward key right after loading the save data puts me on the edge of the floor.

crystal spruce
#

So how's it goin? Been a bit quiet here the past few days

signal quartz
#

Leon dude needs rest...

oak thorn
#

all this time I talked about catching up with AE ever since the Early Access launch and I didn't get to it yet oof

#

on the bright side, the final episode's up next

#

and the game's closing in on that overdue overwhelmingly positive status

night ginkgo
#

yeah I haven't been sleeping well

#

fucks with my ability to make stuff really

oak thorn
#

brains have trouble turning off when they're so active

night ginkgo
#

tbh the game should have been done by now

oak thorn
#

my brain has no trouble turning off though derp ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

it's just I got in a real slump jan-feb

honestly you've made huge progress since the early access launch

#

Yeah, take all the time you need or a creative break if you need to. The energy drain is real, and we still need you to do awesome stuff after AE has gone 1.0 ๐Ÿ˜‰

drifting sleet
#

Hmmmm. I've noticed that moving platforms (Platforms that move by switches) get saved in incorrect positions when you load and save them. Perhaps it has to do with that?

#

At least, I've seen it happen in both E3M2 (The platforms towards the end) and E5M2 (The spike-pit platforms)

night ginkgo
#

I'll have another look

#

I thought that was fixed

drifting sleet
#

Perhaps you've fixed it already but not in the latest build

#

Anyway, I've had it happen when you use the button and then save and load afterwards

night ginkgo
#

Nah it was like an episode 4 issue

crystal spruce
#

Sucks that you're not getting enough sleep, hope you get well soon

night ginkgo
#

Oh yeah I'll be fine, I just go through bouts of insomnia

#

Thanks for the concern

signal quartz
#

Abandon your work for a whole day...I don't blame you.

Yeah I didn't do anything today

Ah, yes, the new_blood.txt meme account

#

And Leon, dude, take your time, we waited over a year for Dusk ep 3, we can wait for AE ep 7

night ginkgo

Thanks yeah it's coming along

#

dev question! are both the textures and sprites pbr'ed with Substance?

night ginkgo
#

@cinder mist

#

^simmo should answer when he's around

cinder mist
#

yep

#

everything uses substance

#

@faint storm

But I thought you did some sculpting and what not

cinder mist

โœ‹simmo๐Ÿ‘Œ

night ginkgo
#

Hahaha

cinder mist
#

yeah i sculpted stuff

#

but i used substance to texture everything

night ginkgo
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

the weapons and mana/health sprites all have source meshes

#

@cinder mist @night ginkgo wow, thanks for posting those! i'm very new to pbr, so i'm just slowly kinda figuring out how it works, that's very helpful thank you!

cinder mist
#

๐Ÿ‘ these are just the meshes i used to bake the normal map and ambient occlusion from, and then i used those with substance designer to actually generate the PBR maps, albedo, roughness, etc.

faint storm
#

How long does the process take per texture? do you paint the actual texture on to the meshes and then kinda split them apart and just use the baked maps and such?

cinder mist
#

not long at all, substance is super fast

#

and no painting on the meshes or anything, it's all just to get the baked maps, all the texture stuff is done after that

faint storm
#

Did you finish a blog post on the process? I was looking forward to it but I can't recall ever seeing it published?

cinder mist
#

yeah epic needs to fuckin publish it lmao

#

we'll chase it up again, they've had it for ages

#

that'll give a way better overview of the whole process, focusing on weapon sprites but the workflow is the same

crystal spruce
#

That's pretty cool

#

I'd love to read about the making of AE

faint storm
#

Awesome! I've been looking into having a play around with pbr textures for fun, it would be a great starting point for experimentation to follow your approach

#

Are the weapon sprites down-sampled to a specific resolution equivalent, and is it hard baked, or does unreal "pixelate" the sprites in the engine (I assume not?)

tardy cove
#

I'd say that what you did with the weapon sprites is straight sorcery

#

I'd never have said they're sprites at all, if I didn't know better

crystal spruce
#

Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s called Dev magic

"we got some new bois coming to episode 3 in the new update which should be out real soon"

as in, something to replace the shadow dudes which are being moved to ep7?

#

Yep

#

3 new enemies

frosty drift
#

Including Avain man

#

Lemme tell ya, Avain man is going to kill you, a lot

oak thorn
#

already seen him since before the game went early access

#

he's a pushover

#

Anime Avain though is very formidable

#

I imagine even without these new enemies, Ep 3's in a much better place than it was in the Early Access launch version

frosty drift
#

Anime Avain is going to be moved. He's now the ep 7 secret boss

oak thorn

a well deserved spot for one of the most intimidating foes

@night ginkgo Then it'd be around 9 am in my country, ohhhhhhhhhhh.

well FUCK! My gaming pc broke one day before an AE update and the one I am using right now can barely run doom.

๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ”ซ

:(

#

This update doesn't add much new content wise

#

It tweaks existing things mostly

#

You still have a while to go till Ep7 happens

tardy cove
#

That's alright, new content is always a good thing

#

We shouldn't expect ep7 to be out before this summer anyway

frosty drift
#

Ep7 will take a bit longer than episodes so far as releasing it means that the game is done and out of early access

#

So the whole package needs a polish pass and bug fixing etc

Alright, so I played amid evil last night

#

It felt more like unreal tournament rather then hexan or heretic, but it was still fun.

#

not saying that it felt like unreal tournament was a bad thing

Why Tournament specifically and not the original Unreal?

mortal dirge
#

I guess thats what I ment

mortal dirge

Loved the unique weapons

The celestial claw was the coolest looking

Do the rock fish do anything else special they just seem like Reskins of the fish from ep 5

@buoyant phoenix do you have a old save of sacred path?

If you do just load it up and go to a area with the enemie

#

@crystal spruce I was wondering that as well. My memory is a trash fire.

limber radish
#

Yes they could

crystal spruce
#

Alright, just finished Sacred Path

#

A huge improvement

#

New enemies are all fun to fight, I think only the fishes needs a bit of tweaking cause they're too slow right now.

#

I also like the small changes to enemy and item placement

limber radish
#

I like the plant creatures that run at you I can't think of a enemie that swarms you like that because there is always tons of them all the time

crystal spruce
#

Yeah they're fun, and the death animation is satisfying

#

I'm glad the acid pool is implemented in another episode now

buoyant phoenix
#

Aren't there like a ton of enemies that swarm you?

limber radish
#

Yeah but I've seen the largest swarms from these enemies

crystal spruce
limber radish
#

The only problem is the fire enemies are kind of boring and the fish are also kinda boring but the other 2 enemies are good enough that the sacred path is way better now

crystal spruce
#

I like the fire dudes

#

Sometimes they blend in with the background a bit though

#

Orange flame against orange stone

limber radish
#

Yeah but they're to similar to the enemies from ep 5 in terms of look

crystal spruce
#

I'm pretty sure it's just a palette swap

limber radish
#

But they're both pretty boring in terms of looks

crystal spruce
#

The attack is different though

limber radish
#

Yeah I know that

crystal spruce
#

The only thing I dislike is that they just "appear" out of nowhere without any indication

buoyant phoenix
#

The blue guys rapid fire at you

#

Fire guys fire three projectiles in differing directions at once

limber radish
#

Yes?

#

I think that's obvious

crystal spruce
#

They never managed to light the green dudes on fire for me

cinder mist
#

yeah i might give the fire guys a once over in terms of colour at least

buoyant phoenix
#

Yeah so not a palete swap

#

Unless you meant purely in terms of look

cinder mist
#

make it more of a red flame

limber radish
#

I didn't say the palete swap
