I love how much the episode has changed from sandstone structures with some water, then to like a lush temple oasis
A lot more colourful, a lol more character, fishes do need some kind of buff though

Are there any other changes or is it just the Sacred Path?

just sacred path

There's one extremely minor change

Alright, gonna give it another go on Evil tomorrow then, see how it is

Have they patched where if you beat all the episodes it opens
?
Because that's how I got to it
limber radish
Lol
night ginkgo
also it doesn't just happen you have to load a save or something
night ginkgo
it would only show the names if you cheated
buoyant phoenix
For me it always took me to the main menu
night ginkgo
that's currently the only way for that to happen
limber radish
Well I didn't so it might have been a bug
I didn't even know that command existed lol
night ginkgo
yeah it's a dev command
limber radish
Well that's interesting
night ginkgo
if it says 'void' in the list, then a cheat to complete all episodes was entered
limber radish
Aepisode?
night ginkgo
yeah
limber radish
Oh yeah I think I put that in way before I beat all episodes because I wanted to open those doors without completely episode 1 and 2 and wanted to watch the intro something level select doesn't have
night ginkgo
thought so lol
limber radish
I did not know it affects ep 7
buoyant phoenix
Speaking of Ep7 does it have a specific HUD theme yet?
night ginkgo
not yet
limber radish
There's the cut crystal world in that command
night ginkgo
yep
limber radish
Interesting
I hope to see that in a expansion it sounds cool
Is there going to be a "episode" entry in the codex? To tell us about that episode and the story I think that would be cool
night ginkgo
yeah
signal quartz
Leon dude, you did a marvelous job, for this, you shall be cuddled for free...
Today I was down with the news of Outer World/Industries of Titan having become Epic exclusive...
Personally Ep3's difficulty slightly increased due to those running plant guys.
A bunch of shadow guys could be easily dealt with the blade, plant guys are so fast!
and those fire dudes!
night ginkgo
thanks m8
signal quartz
A plant dude fell into the water.
Some fish didn't move at all, were they stuck at the ceiling maybe?
These guys finally began to move when they were hit by me.
Aeternum doesn't work in the water?
limber radish
Just to know if you don't have a old save of sacred path and want to see the new shadow creature in action just play hordes of evil
(:
night ginkgo
Yeah gonna fix all this feedback
signal quartz
Ah I forgot to say these screenshots were taken at E3M2.
night ginkgo
All good, I fixed those first two fish not moving
signal quartz

the tentacle lookin things are actually the pyramid structure itself being bent and distorted by the unfathomable evil energy
signal quartz
@limber radish I tried the arena mode and saw the refined shadow guys.
Unfortunately I couldn't examine their behavior long enough...besides, each shadow dude dies with 1 hit from star of torment...well looks so badbutt.
@cinder mist So our champion eventually rushes into those tentacle shaped structures? HERESY

drifting sleet
E3 has new messages on the walls
buoyant phoenix

I personally think the pilgrim is Leon dude himself,
In pursuing a dream of developing awesome game, he slowly lost his mind, turning his ambitious project into an actual evil.
Now many gamers are corrupted by his dream...AMID EVIL.

Are golems supposed to bleed?
drifting sleet
Wait what, I haven't seen that lol
In E3M1, there's a giant golem with a big health powerup behind it. If you kill it and then save/reload, an invisible wall prevents you from picking up the big health

Got mentioned, will be fixed tomorrow I heard
Still searching for that last message in E3M1
whelp, that made me find another way to go out of bounds lol
crystal spruce
Just beat the new Sacred Path on Evil
I think the vine dudes could use a bit more stagger from the voltride/whisper's edge
Voltride overkill is a bit unreliable and they can really gang up on you
Also couldn't manage to suck the fishes with the Black Axe, even though I did it yesterday
rapid furnace
So, I'm not sure I consider these enemies better than the original shadows.. 😄 The vine guys are much faster, and almost impossible to kill before actually reaching the player, whereas the fire dudes seem ok, but they are a bit out of the place for me in terms of their looks, as the sacred path isn't really a fire episode, but more like stony-ancient one, so maybe some smaller golem caster would be on point here I think. Also, thanks to the fire dudes being tankier and vine guys impossibly fast, I completely stopped using any weaker weapons in this episode, and the star of torment and celestial claw were the only viable options for me in here, whereas before, I always resorted to something like whisper's edge when fighting the older ghosts, since they always appeared in bigger groups and in certain distance from player, so there was time to get rid of all of them using the aoe damage from the sword. But hey, just my brief thoughts, maybe I'll grow more accustomed to these new additions to the sacred path, but so far, it turned episode 3 into my least favorite.
limber radish
I've noticed if enemies are really close like up to your face most weapons shoot through them it's really annoying especially with the vine creatures since they are really fast
Their speed is nice but I can barely kill them because of that bug?
rapid furnace
yeah, I feel like the speed of the vine enemies should be toned down
and I played on hard
I dunno, I feel like thematically the fire dudes shouldn't even be there, they seem lazily done
vine enemies and the flower enemy seem to have their purpose, when for example, in the second level they jump up on you from the vine ceilling
that seemed cool
and the fish work too
but really, if you kept the ghosts in, instead of fire enemies and made the vine enemies appear in a fewer places, I think it would be much better
but just my opinion of course
😛
oh and since most of the new enemies are really tanky, I think that there needs to be more mana added around the level
because this is like first time, that I ran completely out of every mana type in the middle of the level
crystal spruce
Now that you mention it, Mana did get a little low when I played
Maybe if the vine dudes died in 1 whispers edge hit
limber radish
The vine dudes speed is fine that bug where you can't hit enemies in front of you needs to be fixed
And the wraiths don't fit with the episode
Imo
The vine creatures should be weak but pretty fast and there's tons of them basically swarm like enemies
That's how it SHOULD be
Also the fire enemies fit fine since there's lots of sun and there's tons of lava in the first level
crystal spruce
Yeah but they take 2 hits from the WE and the green berserkers from Solar Solstice only take 1
limber radish
Ik they should be weak like that
crystal spruce
So they're fast and tough (relatively)
limber radish
But they aren't
Right now they're fast and tough and there's a lot of them
Seems a bit unfair
rapid furnace
well, it's still a beta, so it will definitely get some tweaking I hope, but as it is, I am far from being satisfied
tardy cove
Didn't have time to check the Ep3 rework until now, fantastic job dudes, it feels like a totally new episode
It's also quite harder, which I totally approve
My fav thing is how the fire dudes can turn the vine dudes into other fire dudes, potentially making any straightforward encounter into a bullet hell
@rapid furnace Really? I think there is more than enough mana to go around, and I played in Evil + Warrior. Protip: Vine guys die in a single axe hit, regardless of difficulty
Also, one clean planet or mace hit kills them
rapid furnace
well, it's not like I completely ran out of mana, but I was very, very close to that, which never happened to me before, in any episode on evil difficulty, and I was on hard here
yeah, I know that, but the thing is, when there used to be those ghosts instead, they always appeared in much bigger number than those vine guys, and they were a bit slower, so what I did, was that I switched on the sword, shot few slashes and majority of them died at once
tardy cove
New enemies = new tactics, what's the point of changing them otherwise?
rapid furnace
that is impossible in case of vine dudes, since there are smaller groups of them coming at you at once, and they are much faster, making the strat with the sword useless, and thus, making the celestial claw and star of torment only viable weapons
I understand that, but I think balance is also important, and what these new enemy caused is that they made the weapon pool for this episode smaller
azure orb, and whispering edge are completely useless here
tardy cove
They're not, but ok
rapid furnace
and aesthetically wise, flame dudes just doesn't fit in, I mean yes, when there is lava around, then it looks pretty nice, but when they appear somewhere outside in the sun shine, you have troubles spotting them and they really seem out of the place
yeah well, this is just my opinion
I am not hating for no reason or something like that, I am trying to share some constructive criticism 😄
tardy cove
As we all do here, mate
rapid furnace
yeah, just wanted to clear this out, so I don't seem like a hater
I mean actually, the new flower-like enemy was very nice, and I also enjoyed those new fish
and I believe that with some tweaking done vine dudes will work too
but those flame dudes really seem out of the place for me 😄
tardy cove
They fit way better than the ghosts, IMO, and their mechanic of turning vine enemies into fire enemies is very cool
rapid furnace
that indeed is cool
tardy cove
What I do with big vine groups is soften them up with the sword, kill the remainders with the axe
rapid furnace
but when you get out of the tomb, and there is no lava around anymore, and instead you got a sunny places, where you can barely see them, it really gives out a feeling as if this was just some kind of mod, instead of official enemy
yeah, well, I also found my way how to deal with them, trident works nice because it knockbacks them
as I said, vine dudes, I can get accustomed to them
it'll take a lot more time with the flame guys tho 😄
maybe if their placement would be changed so they only appear inside the tombs near some lava pools
but hard to tell now, we're still in the beta, we'll see what leon has prepared for us
tardy cove
Given that their main gimmick is empowering other enemies, I doubt that will happen, but we'll see
@night ginkgo, you might want to rewrite this message

They brought it up to standards with the rest of the episodes in terms of difficulty and enemy variety

they only have 5 types
whereas other episodes have like 7-8

Don't see a spoiler channel for the beta, so just gonna post here I guess
Tbh this is the first time I do not like the changes all that much. Love the general design and behavior of the new enemies, but they don't form a cohesive experience that flows all that well for me. The vine and fire dudes are introduced rather underwhelmingly in quick succession although they would make for some great individual "first encounters" to learn their patterns / behaviors ( you did this really well with the rock golems in the same episode). Maybe the vine bois' behavior is not too different (or even the same as) the melee of the chaos dudes moved to E7, but they feel too fast and a bit cheap imo. Maybe it's something about how enemy types are combined in encounters now... Also, the flame bois feel a bit unresponsive and unpredictable, seems like they're missing a bit of floating animation or something. Now, it sometimes feels like they're sliding around randomly mid-air.
I'm sure though that a few tweaks in enemy composition and behavior would go a long way to mitigate this 😃

Preview stream?

Leon said they're gonna show Ep.7 footage
radiant rain
Oh excellent I must have missed that. Thanks

ye we gonna be on evga stream
tardy cove
On one hand, I don't want to spoil myself, but on the other I'm dying to see ep 7 stuff
Damn, son

Is it gonna be AE only or are you gonna show something else on the evga stream as well?
frosty drift
if you've seen any of our previous evga streams you pretty much know what to expect

I'm pretty sure dusk on switch is going to be at pax

From what I can tell from Dave's Twitter, there might be a chance of a new announcement 😉
radiant rain
Yeah I'm excited for these "surprises" that have been mentioned.

@radiant rain nice Thing icon!
radiant rain
Thanks, love the hell out of that movie

Gonna have to watch that soon, never had the chance to and heard to much good stuff about it
harsh yacht
When I was a kid I seen it on the sci-fi channel (when it didn't alter its name) or something and I wanted to see it again. So my dad took me to blockbuster (yes it was that long ago lol) and I tried my hardest to explain a movie that was like "a thing" to the staff. They weren't able to find it for me then lol.
tardy cove
One of the greatest sci-fi/horror movies of all time, IMO
hexed obsidian
Just added it to my watchlist on netflix
smoky cypress
A couple of years ago I hated horror because I had only seen the shitty jumpscary kinda horrors, but then trough bloodborne I got into cosmic horror and I remembered looking for Lovecraftian movies, I read that the thing was partially Lovecraftian so I was whatever let's watch it. Needless to say now it's not only my favorite horror films but one of my favorite film in general
tardy cove
@smoky cypress Check out In The Mouth Of Madness and Event Horizon
smoky cypress
Thank you for the suggestions
tardy cove
They'll probably upload it on YT or something

Did the stream already happen?

I am wondering about that too! There's some newer lovecraft-like movies which I like too, specifically "The Void" and "Frankenstein's Army"

NB is gonna stream on Sunday: https://www.evga.com/articles/01318/pax-east-2019/
frosty drift
don't worry, we'll @ everyone and post all over our socials when the stream's about to start
smoky cypress
Cool
radiant rain
@harsh yacht The Void was fantastic as well, I'm a huge sucker for practical effects tho'.
And damn I'm pumped for the stream sunday. Also any possible New Blood news out of PAX.
harsh yacht
Same (on both)!

Leon dude, you're doing too much to spoil us...bad boy.
So ep7 has 4 levels as other ones do?
Hmmm looks so awesome.

Damn, and I thought ep 6 had really cranked up the other-worldliness
This looks insane. Any word on when it'll be out?
night ginkgo
still working on it, so not sure
plus we're trying to make the final boss really epic, which is a task unto itself
gloomy juniper
That's awesome. Keep up the amazing work! I can't wait for the final product!! Y'all got somethin special here
night ginkgo
thanks 😄
signal quartz
Shame, ep7 has only 4 levels. :x
Seriously looks so amazing...
You're achieving something other fps haven't done...
night ginkgo
cheers 😄
I saw this comment yesterday
Visually it's like nothing I've ever seen in another game.
that makes me happy^
gloomy juniper
The normal-mapped weapon sprites are very neat. I thought they were models for a while lol
night ginkgo
oh yeah they're neat
we've got a dev blog on how they're made, idk when it's coming out
dave handles that stuff
I think they react really well to the lighting, gives the game such a unique look
gloomy juniper
What's the player character's name? I've been calling him 'evil guy'
cause, you know, like doom-guy
and 'amid guy' doesn't sound as good
gloomy juniper
ah, that makes sense lol
night ginkgo
only 6 reviews till we hit overwhelming on steam 😄
night ginkgo
what are what
main spindle
limber radish
Looks like a variant of the wraith or something
night ginkgo
actually those guys are called "fist of evil"

what are the laser star things called?

Eye of evil

Eye Of Sauron (but it got off of its lazy ass and came to fight you itself)

Ep6 is giving me the butt kicking I deserve for choosing nightmare, lovely looking maps though, good stuff 👍🏻
tardy cove
E6M2 in Evil + Warrior is legit the hardest level in the game
odd spear
Dusk will arrive soon on GOG, Amid Evil will do the same?
proper oxide
once its fully done, yes
crystal spruce
Is there any plan for the game post release?
frosty drift
content wise i don't have anything to share currently
expect to see the game on GOG / linux etc though
gloomy juniper
wait is there a difficulty above hard?
weary solar
He doesn't seem to be running out of any ideas for new levels any time soon
gloomy juniper
@weary solar it's gonna be 7 episodes. Next one is the last (or 1.0 anyway)
weary solar
i hppe there is DLC
gloomy juniper
Yeah same. Or mp - that would be kinda insane
foggy garnet
I hope theres multiplayer and a level editor too
cause those would basically give the game infinite replayability
gloomy juniper
Well they have someone working on a DUSK SDK so it's possible
tall temple
modding/level editing sadly isnt in the cards. this is more a limitation of UE than anything else
gloomy juniper
Ah, well that makes sense. DUSK is made in Unity, no?
tall temple
yeah
gloomy juniper
I LOVE all the changes they've made to Unity in the past 2 years. Really a mature engine now

2 reviews to hit overwhelmingly positive 😄

doesn't matter, will still be overwhelming
smoky cypress
It surpassed dusk
night ginkgo
lmao no way, dusk is a behemoth
smoky cypress
It' real, if you order the games by rewiews ae is in the half of the second page with 98% while dusk is the first game of the fourth page with 97%
night ginkgo
ah
smoky cypress
That's no small feat, and I feel like ae absolutely deserves the rewiews it got, it's such an amazing game
copper tundra
congrats, boys!
i absolutely love Amid Evil and i honestly feel like it's the perfect game to roll out with Dusk
deserves every positive review it gets

Yeah seriously cannot wait for 1.0

It's like 5 hours left till the stream right?

It's 8 o clock my time, so I'm excited for it

Yeah something like that I'm not sure the exact time
I'll be asleep, it's like 5 am for me

yeah and its like 2 or 3 am for me haha

let's hope dave knows how to play the levels this time ;)

Oof gilby

will you guys do similar merch to DUSK, with mousepads and stuff?
limber radish
When's the stream?
crystal spruce
1h10m

I am gonna be asleep then so can someone record it please, or link to where I can find it afterwards?
woeful saffron
just go on their twitch recorded streams and find the right timeframe video and just skip through it till you find it

ok

2pm est I believe they called for so sometime around then

Amid Evil is on now! 😃
crystal spruce
Hey Leon, add Big John to Amid Evil you coward
crystal spruce
Doesn't even have to be a boss, maybe just a statue in one of the episodes
woeful saffron
Blown away from Ep7 in all seriousness though
crystal spruce
Yeah, it looks good even with Dave playing it
So I imagine it's gonna be amazing when you play it yourself
woeful saffron
Too much boomer juice effects his playing style
crystal spruce
Navigation looks a bit weird though, like how do you know where to go
woeful saffron
Lights
gentle zealot
don't give into the memes leon, game's fine without big dum

Cosmic abyssal lights

rapid furnace
I hope the fog will be a bit decreased in final release
otherwise astonishingly looking episode
great level design
and also, dave said that the episode will also be available for beta testing, so maybe us here on the discord will be able to play like month earlier before official release? as was the case with episode 6
limber radish
The fog imo is good as it is
smoky cypress
Dammit I lost it
I' m traveling by boat and the connection decided that I had to miss the live
Where can I find it now?
woeful saffron
Just go on the EVGA twitch channel and find the past broadcast and skip through it till you find baby face Dave
old kelp
Yea amid evil is kinda meh but it would be fun if it had multiplayer
woeful saffron
ouch
gloomy juniper
omg that belch LUL
night ginkgo
Stream was good, just watched the replay
so the stream kinda ate the graphics a bit, it looks much clearer when you're actually playing, the fog is easier to navigate
cinder mist
yep
night ginkgo
big john, maybe
limber radish
Dave was right though you guys really out done yourself
It kinda looks like my dreams
limber radish
Lmao poor guy he got barely any credit

Simon is Leon's true form

So this is E7M1?
Where's the police, arrest these guys for using lsd to create this level!
You guys achieved something even quake nor doom haven't done!
night ginkgo
we used DSL to make this level
gloomy juniper
Yeah the stream codec was much kinder to DUSK's macaroni grafix than AE's gud grafix

Simon ate some of Leon's crack laced Chinese Food.

I wonder who the non-beard guy in the video is...

Oh yes, I think I've seen this guy before.
misty owl
That's Dave
cinder mist

Oh, I see, thanks.
He's played AE and Dusk in NB's video before!
He was playing AE ep 4.
misty owl
You'll see him a lot he's the owner of New Blood lol
signal quartz
😮
@misty owl Shocking fact revealed! I thought him a community manager or something.
misty owl
He's pretty much that too

@night ginkgo Found a bug in E6M4 (beta branch): the gold key before the boss cannot be picked up
night ginkgo
yep fixed my end
I'll do another build tomorrow my time
just going through the list of stuff
buoyant phoenix
I knew I heard the E7M1 ambient music somewhere
It used to be part of the AENDREW cheat
But not anymore
plucky isle
@night ginkgo Thanks
buoyant phoenix
Also whirling death in said cheat is only the few seconds long intro with the chanting
crystal spruce
So new build soon? Are you gonna tweak the Evil Tree star of torment death?
night ginkgo
actually I think the music is in the horde select
it was never part of aendrew
I'll check out that whirling death thing
plucky isle
the fuck is whirling death
night ginkgo
whirling death is the boss track for EP3
buoyant phoenix
Ye
Seems like it's two tracks
The little intro with the chanting and then the actual track
I think you only put the former
night ginkgo
I'll check it out tomorrow
