ye ep7 is trippy af

buoyant phoenix
#

45 degree slopes

umbral phoenix
#

I mean, amid evil seems flashy and full of colors. I feel it should totally be trippy af

#

Like, open a door and you see a straight hallway that ends in the door that begins the hallway

#

That level of trippy

night ginkgo
#

Hahaha cool idea

#

That kind of non euclidean geometry is hard to pull off

#

The original prey did it pretty well

crystal spruce
#

It also did ass doors pretty well

#

No other game has implement ass door technology to this day

night ginkgo
#

Good point

#

Where are all the sphincter doors

crystal spruce
#

People always mention the ass and coochie doors but no one talks about the child ghosts that try to murder you

#

That's still the most unsettling thing about the whole game to me

night ginkgo
#

I've totally forgotten that

#

Lol

#

Must give it another go

crystal spruce
#

Prey was way ahead of it's time.

night ginkgo
#

I defo remember the beginning

#

And the plane crash

crystal spruce
#

The intro was really cool, especially with Don't Fear the Reaper playing

plucky isle
#

Don't Fear the Reaper? Man I miss the cowbells

night ginkgo
#

Heh

crystal spruce
night ginkgo
#

Yeah but then again when has Jeremy Soule ever made bad music

#

My favorite track of his is the dungeon seige theme

crystal spruce
#

I've only heard him in the Elder Scrolls games

night ginkgo
#

He's done a lot of games

vocal ingot
#

To be fair

#

The Oblivion soundtrack is arguably his best work

night ginkgo
#

Yeah agreed

cinder mist
#

yep

#

oblivion soundtrack is so good

crystal spruce
#

I tried Oblivion solely for his music

#

(didn't play it much but still)

cinder mist
#

you mean

night ginkgo
#

What

cinder mist
#

soulely

crystal spruce
#

lol

night ginkgo
#

Lmao

cinder mist
#

soulemyr

night ginkgo
#

Oblivion was great game

crystal spruce
#

Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls, and a friend kept telling me to play the old ones, but I didn't for the longest time because it looked ugly and janky

cinder mist
#

i dont know you, and i dont care to know you

night ginkgo
#

Ahh

crystal spruce
#

After playing it I still consider it ugly and janky, but the music is great

night ginkgo
#

You can't go back

cinder mist
#

yeah, oblivion was my first elder scrolls

#

fuck playing morrowind

night ginkgo
#

Same

devout olive
#

I haven't played more than 30 mins of morrowind

night ginkgo
#

Rename it to yesterwind

cinder mist
#

lmao

#

yeah TODD

vocal ingot
#

Oblivion was my first elder scrolls

cinder mist
#

why isnt todd howard in this server

vocal ingot
#

but I still loved morrowind because I'm not a DORK

cinder mist
#

oh i am

devout olive
#

for the 30 minutes that I played of it

crystal spruce
#

We're all dorks on this server, don't kid yourself

cinder mist
#

/invite Todd Howard

night ginkgo
#

/invite delete ae

crystal spruce
#

What if Episode 7 is just a daedric realm?

night ginkgo
#

It's not

#

It's a daedric dimension

#

They're different

crystal spruce
#

My Todd Howard lore is a bit rusty so I'll take your word for it

cinder mist
#

the final boss' taunt is "fucking degenerates"

night ginkgo
#

Ducking fegenerates

devout olive
#

fegenerates like you belong on a cross

shadow seal
#

ok, can someone explain why there are at least 8 people impersonating jabronii-chan, or has his cloning experiment succeeded and he is beginning his world domination?

lone hatch
#

Yes

shadow seal
#

ah ok

#

hang on

#

I just got a rank!

frosty drift
#

yes

shadow seal
#

yay to me I guess

crystal spruce
#

Oh shit it was only 4 a while ago

#

They're multiplying

Good lord

#

this is how ultimate heat death begins

radiant rain
#

Between the jab clones and civvies discord becoming Bethesda Land I feel like this day is a fever dream. Episode 7 looks awesome by the way

crystal spruce
#

Oh god what is happening

#

We need to delet it

tall temple
#

we will delete u instead

crystal spruce
#

Can you delete my criminal record?

tall temple
#

no

plucky isle
#

Yes

#

Gimme your credit card number

crystal spruce
#

8008-153

plucky isle
#

meh I thought it'd be 6969-69

crystal spruce
#

Too obvious

gloomy juniper
#

what's y'all's favorite ep so far?

#

for me its either 6 or 4

tardy cove
#

5 or 6, but they're like different flavors of pizza without pineapple

#

They're all good

smoky cypress
#

@gloomy juniper yo same here, I think ep 4 is a bit undereated

#

Also I think ep 5 is extremely close

gloomy juniper
#

yeah episode 4 is lit

#

ep 5 is great, but the fish can fuck right off

tardy cove
#

BTW, there's a new version of ep3 in the beta branch

smoky cypress
#

Hahahaha those fuckers are really annoying

tardy cove
#

In case you didn't know

crystal spruce
#

4 is my favorite. 6 is a really close second but the enemies are just 1 hit too spongey for me.

smoky cypress
#

I didn't play it yet but I am quite hyped for it because I really liked the atmosphere and level design of ep 3 but I thought that the enemy variety brought it down but with the new update it is looking slick

#

Ep 4's art direction is so damn good

tardy cove
#

E4M3 is screenshot bait

crystal spruce
#

Arcane Expanse has the most screenshot bait yet

gloomy juniper
#

that's good to hear. Ep 3 is definitely the weakest for me.

smoky cypress
#

And the tower itself is great, there is even a mechanic dedicated to that levek(flight)

#

Yeah arcane expans is insane

crystal spruce
#

Even the first moment of E6M1 you're like "Oh shit that looks cool"

gloomy juniper
#

yeah best skybox

tardy cove
#

There is a flight powerup in ep 3

smoky cypress
#

@crystal spruce and that feeling remains for the rest of the episode

crystal spruce
#

Yeah

smoky cypress
#

@tardy cove wait where?

tardy cove
#

In fact you need it to get 100% in E3M1

crystal spruce
#

Flight is in E3M1

smoky cypress
#

Is it a secret?

tardy cove
#

Kinda

crystal spruce
#

In the rising central lane

tardy cove
#

Not a secret, but it's well hidden

smoky cypress
#

Is it only on the new update or did I just miss it/forgot about it

#

*?

tardy cove
#

It's always been there

crystal spruce
#

The secret in the golem room gets me lost every time

smoky cypress
#

Oh

#

I guess I'm dumb

tardy cove
#

Nah, it's easy to miss

#

||There is also a Dusk easter egg in that level||

smoky cypress
#

I might have missed it or I didn't catch it because I am currently playing it and I only finished the first episode

tardy cove
smoky cypress
#

Hahahaha

#

Oh shit

#

That' s so cool

foggy garnet
#

ep 3 is my favorite, i love the sunny visuals and the rock golem dudes are cool

#

but i still need to play the beta update, maybe its changed for the better or worse

tardy cove
#

I'd say it's changed for the better

#

The rock golems are still there, along with a bunch new enemies

smoky cypress
#

E3m1?

tardy cove
#

Yep

frail hound
#

hey quick question - there's obviously no specific order to play the episodes, but is there a way to perhaps number them or something? by the time an episode is complete and I return to the hub, I can never remember the name of the one I did - or am I just missing something?

night ginkgo
#

There's an update coming that changes the colour of the portals when they're complete

#

I might make the text when you walk near them say complete as well

plain grail
#

is there a list of changes to the current beta anywhere?

#

or just a rough gist

night ginkgo
#

not atm

#

let me take a look

plain grail
#

well was it mostly bugfixes or design or what

night ginkgo
#

between the public build and beta atm

#

EP3 update with new enemies and what not

#

new option to turn off soul mode glow

#

gateway portals turn green when complete

#

powerup visual changes

harsh yacht
#

I think the game is great as it is, now you're making it godly!

night ginkgo
#

there's a couple of other bugfixes as well

#

like I believe the jump+crouch one

#

only need 5 level end awards to get hardcore achievement

plain grail
#

cool

#

been a while since i played

#

and just noticed there's a new build

night ginkgo
#

blue flame dudes in ep5 no longer get stuck

#

there's tons of just minor stuff that we fix

#

whatever gets submitted in the bug report thing

#

anyway next update will have more changes

plain grail
#

cool beans

#

man it's been longer than i thought

#

when was the mist added to e1m2?

#

because i know that was a while ago

#

and it didn't have it last i played D:

night ginkgo
#

that was with the ep6 update

#

check the patch notes

#

oh lol forgot to add it to the notes :/

#

oh no

#

I did

#

ol

#

+Changes to Bastion of the Blue Moon, now has more open areas, so you can see the path to the cellars. Volumetric fog added.

frail hound
#

thanks for clearing that up with the portals, Leon. Making them a different color when complete will help a lot

night ginkgo
#

that's what they look like now

#

(completed)

frail hound
#

so when you walk over their "tile" it'll say (COMPLETED) under the name?

#

the hub area being so open is cool, picking the episode of your choice etc - but its easy to forget what ones you've done. As it is now, the only way to know is by the preview "image" that you see behind the portal - the green overlay and completed subtitle will help a lot!

night ginkgo
#

yeah I'll make the message say complete too

frail hound
#

you da man!

plain grail
#

fuck man i love the new enemies in ep3

#

they're perfect

#

are you going to repurpose the shadows or just trash them?

night ginkgo
#

Ep7

#

that's where they're going

plain grail
#

neat

#

i like the new wall messages too

#

ep3 is just better now

night ginkgo
#

LeonApproved thanks!

plain grail
#

oh god new black hole animation is ๐Ÿ”ฅ

night ginkgo
#

there's a new black hole animation? leon

weary solar
#

I wonder what a combination of Dusk and Amid Evil would look like

night ginkgo
#

for the next update^

queen leaf
#

Awesome!

copper tundra
#

nice job!

night ginkgo
#

plus the actual portal changes colour

#

hopefully this helps

#

still gonna look into more guidance for episode locations

signal quartz
#

Good boy.

frail hound
#

you are set on it being non-linear right?

#

If you wanted it fixed, I know Quake does that thing where pillars come down after returning to the hub, revealing the next locale.

night ginkgo
#

yeah non linear

#

the whole game was gonna be like that originally

static socket
#

ok so yesterday i finished episode 6 and holy shit. i love this game. like a lot. can i have your babies? that's not weird is it? i love this game. i love you

frail hound
#

I kinda like the openness of the hub tbh - as it is, it seems to largely push you in the right direction

night ginkgo
#

yeah you can have my babies

frail hound
#

maybe when you leave a world, have it teleport you somewhere in the hub that more subtly points you in the right direction?

#

hahahaha

static socket
#

like i dont think you understand. i love this game. its amazing. like dusk? nah. dusk is nothing

night ginkgo
#

I'm still pondering what to do, perhaps a map or some kinda glowy path

#

we'll make something cool, either way

#

lmao dusk is awesome tho, I love it

static socket
#

dusk is epic and easily goty of 2018

#

but i dunno. amid evil clicks with me way more than dusk does, and im a HUGE quake fan

night ginkgo
#

I like ion maiden too, keen to try wrath

static socket
#

dont get me wrong, i love dusk, but like. holy shit, amid evil you know?

#

i need to try ion maiden

night ginkgo
#

yeah we love quake

static socket
#

i can tell

night ginkgo
#

also unreal etc

#

AE was never meant to be based of a specific game, we just wanted to make a game

static socket
#

ive been making maps for source for like 8 years, and amid evil's level design just blows me away

night ginkgo
#

people compare it to heretic because it's easy

static socket
#

the weapons are similar to heretic, but then theyre not

night ginkgo
#

we been making maps for a LONG time

#

since like 1995

static socket
#

holy shit

#

some og quakers

night ginkgo
#

mostly doom, actually

copper tundra
#

old boys

queen leaf
#

They're both responsible for the awesome Return of the Triad

night ginkgo

there's the doom mod we made here

#

yeah

#

night ginkgo
#

static socket
#

holy shit you boys made return of the triad??

night ginkgo
#

yeah we did ๐Ÿ˜„

#

#

holy shit holy shi

why is it still popular

queen leaf
#

Cause it good

static socket
#

dude im like in the presence of greatness

queen leaf
#

duh

static socket
#

whats the name of the mace looking weapon in slot 6 because i love it

night ginkgo
#

Star of Torment

#

check the in game codex!

#

got LORE

queen leaf
#

There's a neat little.

static socket
#

o ya i forgot thats there

queen leaf
#

codex.

static socket
#

im asuming its supposed to be a super shotgun kinda thing, but i actually love it

#

also, easily the best game on ue4, but there's really no competition :S

night ginkgo
#

you forgot fortnite

#

๐Ÿ˜›

static socket
#

๐Ÿคข

#

ae br when?

misty owl
#

A real game right there

static socket
#

but yeah i dont mean to be all fanboyish but i love this game

#

literally the best thing i've experienced since dusk ep3

night ginkgo
#

LeonApproved appreciate it ๐Ÿ˜„

static socket
#

i think the sacred path is my favorite episode but idk, ill have to give it another playthrough to be sure lol

copper tundra
#

I absolutely loved The Arcane Expanse

#

beautiful environments

weary solar
#

I wish NewBlood would hire Romero to do maps, but he would probably want too much money.

copper tundra
#

felt a bit like Xen every now and then and that's welcomed

weary solar
#

Same with CliffyB

night ginkgo
#

eks you can hit the beta branch, there's a sacred path update with new enemies

static socket
#

the only problem i had with the arcane expanse was trying to navigate the floating water stairs but it's probably just because im not used to the way the water works

#

ooo beta branch?

night ginkgo
#

the code is "ColourTheory", game properties, betas on steam

static socket
#

hell yeah brother

#

the only complaint i have with pretty much the entire game is i think the forges could do with less of those rollermine fuckers

#

and maybe the dudes who shoot harpoons should have a loud and obnoxious chargeup sound

#

but theyre easy to dodge so w/e

night ginkgo
#

the best counter to the roller dudes is the sword

#

or nuking them with chain lightning

static socket
#

really? i found the mace did pretty good against them, just 2 meatshots and they were gone

night ginkgo
#

a harpoon charge up sound is a good idea ๐Ÿค”

#

they bounce back on hit, so the sword is really good for keeping them away

static socket
#

hmm smart

night ginkgo
#

lot of people don't realise how strong the sword is

static socket
#

that beautiful spread

#

im really terrible at making good combat arenas, especially in source, so im super jelly of ae

night ginkgo
#

yeah takes a bit of thinking

static socket
#

big thinks but im a small brain boy

crystal spruce
#

The azure staff is also really good against the rolling spikes, since you can just hold down LMB and not even aim

shadow seal
#

I use the celestial claw to take out 3-4 at once

shadow seal
#

hey Leon/Simmo, will AE get its own mouse pads/merch like Dusk did?

night ginkgo
#

I hope so

#

up to dave

signal quartz
#

Seduce Dave dude.

night ginkgo
#

I'd rather not

signal quartz
#

Wait, isn't he the boss of NB?

night ginkgo
#

yeah

#

I think NB will get some made

signal quartz
#

You might be cut down into half with his AE axe, scary.

night ginkgo
#

he got TWO

signal quartz
#

D:

night ginkgo
#

we need one of them reee

signal quartz
#

Dual wielding? Oh man...who could stand against him?

night ginkgo
#

I dunno

#

The king of time

frosty drift

night ginkgo
#

AE guys mom

crystal spruce
#

Dave with two axes sounds scary, but remember, he can't use Godmode in real life, so you're probably safe

signal quartz
#

D:

frosty drift
#

dave has very low health and damage

crystal spruce
#

He put all his stats into Speech

frosty drift
#

just kite him and he'll die easily

queen leaf
#

Those axes cover the damage department ar least

crystal spruce
#

That's why NewBlood has great PR

queen leaf

#

He has energy drinks. D:

crystal spruce
#

All the mana pickups in AE are canon energy drink containers

night ginkgo
#

#

Orange Mana is Fanta

#

Blue is blue

#

Green is monster energy

#

And purple is purple drank

queen leaf

No wonder I like green the most.

Maybe you got memed on by someone

umbral phoenix

That's what happened.

I got clearly hacked

night ginkgo

@gloomy juniper as an Italian I can't agree more

Well I like Italian coffee more but I like American coffee too

gloomy juniper

I imagine it being like how Kirby does it

It could be a pick up. Give em the succ

frail hound
#

Hey @night ginkgo this is probably just a quirk with how the engine renders its geometry, but I can't help but notice a lot of seams between level brushes as I walk and turn around. I recorded this quick video to show what I mean. It's not the best example, necessarily - but when moving around fast, it's something that I seem to notice.

https://youtu.be/S-gGutrvISc

night ginkgo
#

yeah it's occlusion, there's not much we can do about it

#

so it's like the engine hiding stuff to optimize the game

#

sometimes we chuck a black wall behind areas that are super obvious

frail hound
#

Yeah figured as much, thanks dude!

#

some areas seem a bit more noticeable than others - if there's any particular examples, I'll try and remember to video them for ya

plain grail
#

big scribbly boi

gloomy juniper
frail hound
#

Ever considered putting the ExMx tags on the level info? ๐Ÿค”

night ginkgo
#

nah

#

because they're not really exmx

frail hound
#

hmm, yeah because there's no order of the episodes themselves. Fair point.

#

I think I'm almost done with the third (released) episode - with all the golems

night ginkgo
#

noice

dreamy pollen
#

Iโ€™m starting to notice that the champions laugh sounds almost like Brendan Fraser : /

night ginkgo
#

how is that a bad thing

#

also new laugh sounds incoming

frail hound
#

as weird as this may sound - I kinda wanna make one of hte item pickup sounds my phone notification noise

#

it's just really cool

night ginkgo
#

ok

#

I'll link it here 1 sec

frail hound
#

speaking of sounds, the unsheathing of the sword is just orgasmic. I love how long it goes on for. Totally unrealistic of course, but damn if it doesn't sound BADASS every time

night ginkgo

YIS! Thank you Leon

LOL

HA

#

Also that makes an awesome notification tone @night ginkgo

frail hound
#

Do you mind if I upload the sound to Zedge, Leon? My phone is being a nuisance. If not that's cool. I can try it another way.

And yeah, always thought it would be a good notification sound.

night ginkgo
#

Yeah go ahead

cinder mist
#

aeurp is my ringtone

frail hound
#

If you use the Zedge app for ringtones and notification sounds, you should be able to find the sound by looking up "AMID EVIL PICKUP"

cinder mist
#

it's like uber but the champion comes and picks you up

plain grail
#

why are you going to change the laugh

#

the laugh is good

night ginkgo
#

not change

#

additional laughs

One of them is going to be Leon's Alien voice.

#

1 in 10,000 chance of it being that.

main spindle
#

Are you gonna change the sound of when the champion falls from a high altitude?

#

Or are you keeping the old man's fart noise?

night ginkgo
#

hahaha what

#

it's the best sound in the game

#

why would we change it

#

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

winged ibex
#

There should be a 1 in 1,000 chance that on level startup the music is replaced with a commentary of AE by Leon.

#

Using the same microphone as he did on the Return of the Triad one.

night ginkgo
#

yech

that microphone sucked

might be a dumb question, but in the difficulty select hub, what's the spiral staircase behind you for?

hexed obsidian
#

That's where you're dropped into the hub when you start a new game

Guess it's just supposed to look cool and make your spawn point a bit more exciting

@hexed obsidian ah, I thought maybe it was a 4th difficulty or something

fierce nymph
#

Put some lowkey copyrighted music in-there

hexed obsidian
#

There is actually a 4th difficulty hidden somewhere, but that's not where it is ๐Ÿ˜‰

tardy cove
#

@gloomy juniper You haven't found the passage to Evil difficulty?

gloomy juniper
#

I guess not..

tardy cove
#

I can tell you where it is, but I warn you it's hidden for a reason

#

There are more enemies, they're faster, they have more hp and they hit like trucks in that diff

frail hound
#

trying to blast through it on medium, then will replay on hard

#

I wanna be familiar with the levels (somewhat) if I'm playing on harder modes

tardy cove
#

I play on Evil + Warrior because I know where (most of) the secrets are and I'm that much of a madman, but yeah

gloomy juniper
#

I play on medium/hard with warrior mode off lol

#

forges still kicks my ass on medium tho

tardy cove
#

There are levels that will outright murder you if you can't find certain secrets (E1M3, E5M2 or E6M2, which is legit the hardest level in the game in that diff with Warrior)

gloomy juniper
#

hexed passage is nuts

tardy cove
#

The beginning, when you only have the mace and the staff, is the worst part

#

And good luck fighting the riders without finding the secret aeturnum

#

(Of course, this is with warrior mode on)

I just started the Solar Solstice episode last night

It will be more LSD than lovecraftian.

It's more abstract then eldritch/lovecraftian

It's all up to interpretation but I get some pretty hardcore cosmic horror vibes from it

It really isn't interpretation but ok

Hey @night ginkgo , I think I've discovered an issue with the gold key in E6M4 in the beta branch. You pick it up, but you don't actually receive it, as seen in the HUD, forcing you to cheat to actually complete the level

@tardy cove He said he'd fix that in the upcoming build

Played Amid Evil and Iโ€™m 5 episodes in, great game, almost as good as Dusk. Although I did find a strange glitch, in episode four, the green jumping enemies one of them got stuck and was in a loop of its running animation. Sorry if this is long, just wanted to point it out.

#

It got stuck in the side of a door

night ginkgo
#

oh haven't seen that before, will keep an eye out

Alright, it occurred when I got the soul power up and was swarmed with enemies and I think one of the weapons mega attack made the enemy fly into the door

Found the evil difficulty. Beat E1, made it to E2M3 then got my ass kicked

There is a wiki page for Amid Evil and it has the episodes in order if you donโ€™t know them in order

I also like the design of the main character, I donโ€™t know his name but heโ€™s called Heretic by the enemies in episode 4

he's just champion
