He's a badmin

A badmin fuck I giggled
more like terribadmin
Less than 24 hours to go for us cool kids
In fact by this time tomorrow you could probably beat the game
😄 So tomorrow I´m going to marathon the whole of amid evil?
It would be my third time I beat it through episode 6
So, have you added an ultra easy mode for game journos who will likely get killed in the gateway, Leon?
I needs a nightmare (I´ll delete your system 32 hard mode too)
Ultra easy - the portal is right there where you spawn on the gateway
Ultra Hard - needs planet jumping
(A custom difficulty option would be cool, but probably not doable)
@crystal spruce in 24h only the ones that already have the beta will be able to play the beta or everyone on the server?
Amid Evil with dusk levels, and Dusk with Amid Evil levels... Coop... and lootboxes
(hire me)
Everyone who already owns Amid Evil I think
I'm not sure, it's kinda weird
Why did Dave make it weird
https://itsalmo.st/amid-evil-releases i am confused then
itsalmo.st is a snazzy free countdown tool designed and developed by Type/Code. Create and share your own countdown to anything.
This is the ETA for the public release
that´s the official relese date
So wait
oh
Yes
That's uh
Wait
Not sure what you mean
Me trying to figure it out
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA
STOP MAKING IT COMPLICATED
so... you can buy it on the 19th...
You know
I mean since you get it a day before the official release it's technically Early Access, right?
when you think about it
so the official secret release date is 19th
basically, the release date is the 19th for everyone except the people who actually buy it on the 19th, for them it's the 20th
they will end EA and give a 1 day pre-order window
I guess
that's the only way it makes sense
lol
wtf Dave
Remind me, how did Dusk do it?
No
I remember it also had an earlier release or something
(:V so the official release date is today)
For beta testers?
Yeah I remember that!
but for people who already got the game too
but I never stop to think if someone bought the game the day before?
If someone buy the game in the 19th
HYPE FOR DIID JIIL
he'll have access to the whole game?

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH MY HOPES AND DREAMS LAIN
Look, let's just make it easy
and take the game down on the 19th
not available for sale
pre 19th or post 20th only
ye, makes sense
or pay us 10.000 $ dollars each.
Dave coming up with the Amid Evil pre-order
i named my stardew valley character quantis and married a guy
My body is rdy for ep.7

my oven has a self-clean mode. Just turn the Voltride on to maximum and burn everything off.
Nice to see Leon posting is still around
Leon posting?


When will release the full soundtrack of amid evil?
great
20th
still 18th, 10pm here
where is that? must be south america
yes
the future!
if i change my pc time to the 20th will i get the ae soundtrack early
nah
aw
nah I don't feel emotions any more
same tbh
I only feel tired
clearly your tiredness is a reminder for another dose

also you should post your pfp for me
which one?
the champ?
mhm
if AE makes money I'll be happy
so we can make another game
which will be legitness
It's putting the horse before the cart a bit, but I'm keen to see what you guys do next
go easy on yourself. Make an expansion pack for 10 bucks next year. Way less work than a full game an everyone will eat it up
^
again it seemed a bit early days to ask, but i'd love to see a 90s style mission pack if there's the inclination or interest for it
ye just have to see how much ae sells ie if it's worth it
you know what's fuckin crazy? how much people spend on current games that are obviously designed to be LESS fun in order to get people to buy items to make it more fun
anyway, the point is I would have paid more than 20 buckaroos for a proper game like AE
people spend more in weapon skins than ae
Can I just say that I've only played Amid Evil for like 40 minutes but my god it's put together so well
you could get a whole videogame for the price of that texture
if every kid in your middle school is playing fortnite, then I guess status in-game matters

I think it's down to the length/nature of engagement and how that warps your sense of value=time etc. Games like AE priced at 20 are like a good meal you eat in a sitting or two and feel satisfied with, stop and come back to for another playthrough later. A lot of other games with microtransactions are like a snack table you stand at for hundreds of hours, and you're more willing to part with a dollar here or there 'because you've been standing at the snack table a bunch already', even though it's been a wholly unsatisfying experience by comparison.
that's probably a good analogy. I'm just too old i guess. I was raised on games that were actually finished when they came out. You can't update a cartridge.
and any game that has a "make the game annoying then sell fixes for $" mechanic is an instant thumbs down from me, and probably the entire studio with it
Even DOOM Eternal selling IOU DLCs in a $90 pre-order rubs me the wrong way
eff dat sheet
bruh amid evil easily takes more than 2 sittings to complete
episode 6 alone is like over an hour long if ur quick
totally worth $20 i should say, but i didnt buy it lol
It’d be neat if amid evil had a class system like in Hexen if it ever got a sequel
yea that would be epic! but without hexen's boring level design. if there is a sequel i want more level design like this
Question before I buy the game
Is the sword in amid evil usable as a normal sword once you run out of mana for it?
no
Cause that was my biggest pet peeve with Hexen. “here’s this legendary sword... that you can’t use if you don’t have mana. Swords aren’t weapons! Haha!”
nah but the axe can SUCC people in
so you never really have to actually straight up melee enemies
Yea I’m fine with it in AE tbh
the sword itself is an illusion. its just there created by the gem as a visual representation
or something
however in hexen the axe and the hammer worked without mana iirc
Just in Hexen it was annoying cause if you were playing fighter, it was like “I HAVE A FUCKING SWORD WHY AM I PUNCHING SHIT” lmao
yeah
i want to pound people skulls in with the star of torment in amid evil 2
I beat Hexen once as cleric
50% as mage
And fighter just pissed me off to play tbh
Didn’t find him fun
Hey Leon how do I unlock the Vietnam era standard issue M16 assault rifle in amid evil?
The axe in AE is so satisfying man. It's got succ, its got attac, and it gibs fuckers
I haven’t seen gameplay for AE yet
Its a good un.
Don’t want to spoil it for myself
http://store.steampowered.com/app/673130/AMID_EVIL/ Here's your first look at HORDES OF EVIL (Endless Mode) from AMID EVIL. Hordes of Evil is a separate mode...
Here you go. Its endless mode so no spoilers
You move like greased lightning and everything hits hard, but so do the enemies
I don’t want to see the gameplay itself I mean
I want to wait until I play it
So I’m wowed
I did it with dusk as well
Fair enough, man.

amid evil doesnt have colour theory
look at that ugly screenshot. no colour theory!
Ooc who did what in regards to AE? Art, programming etc.
you can check the credits in the codex
behold, aethink
Were you more inspired by heretic or Hexen Leon?
by Fingerbones
What is with this server and finger bones
what else are we gonna do while we wait?
amid evil 2: the return of fingerbones
yet game journalists still be like "amid evil is unreal 4 heretic"
well.. come on. weapon pickups trigger a laughing sound
the hexen references were intentional
not like that's a bad thing
but the journalists aren't really out of line
what about hexen beyond heretic
anyone know if the early access while be playable at midnight? or sometime in the morning?
It's kind of unfair on AE getting compared to heretic and hexen so much because it doesn't play like either imo but bears an aesthetic resemblance, but it's the first line in the tagline in the steam page
@hard sable midnight pst
awesome! thanks
Hey sexy indefatigable team congratulations I am proud of yall
currently reinstalling the game
ARE U FUKIN RED EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Champions - The Time Has Come! AMID EVIL is just about ready to FULLY RELEASE out of Early Access. https://media.giphy.com/media/LLwQud4gHjbrTdDhzT/giphy.gif But you want to know EXACTLY when you can play it, yes? Well we are here to tell you... AMID EVIL will FULLY launch at...

@night ginkgo @cinder mist Many congrats on Amid Evil. If I could, I'd buy you like 5 kegs of beer. I've had so many great moments with this game and I truly believe is something you should be proud about
maybe
Fuck, Bioshock meme didn't work.
Should we release AMID EVIL for Early Access owners at midnight tonight?
Pretty please with bacon on top?

Congratulations to <@&249012011751440397> formally again, thanks for making an awesome game, keep up the good work, i'll manage to get them when i can, i got it as a gift and i could say its one of the greatests gifts i've received, thank you, you guys are the best, always supporting you... and everyone: Enjoy the game 😃
Leoooooooooooooooon, did you add a Star of Torment to E2M2?
Congrats for the (pre) release!
how do you select the Evil difficulty? I guess it's like in Quake 1 and there is a secret in the hub
Go to Hard and ||hug the wall to the left||
I think I forgot
I am pretty sure you did
Yea evil difficulty is hidden underground
Can we (early access) play final AE episode later today?
I think you can play it. like, now
Nice. I might burn through this tonight. Congrats Simmo and Leon
thanks
nice game
ok, found the evil difficulty. I don't know how it will be in later episodes, but I've been doing some testing in the first level of Hard vs Evil, and the differences aren't that big. it's doable
The damage difference is pretty small, in practical terms the speed movement of the enemies is a more important factor, because how they love some of them to rush you
Imo Episode 4 is the most hard on Evil
Shield dudes and leaping speedsters can fuck you up
Evil is a proper hard mode for people reasonably familiar with FPS
A step up from Quake Hard or Doom UV for example
at least in my experience
About the damage difference, it could be the damage multiplier is something like a '15% more damage', in the first level 15% more damage of a basic enemies is just 1-2 more hp, but in later episodes the same 15% will be 5-6 hp (against more lethal enemies)
Yes, Hard mode seems more like HMP than UV (taking Doom's comparisons)
yeah thats what evil mode feels like for me. One for the skilled FPS player rather than an unbalanced novelty
Only thing I don't like about Evil is that the Voltride loses its usefulness in a lot of places
agreed. I find myself using mostly star of torment like 80% of the time. For that reason I wish there was a mode where you could spend souls to cast alt fires at will. like say 3-5% of your soul meter + mana per attack for the voltride, 10% or so for star, 20% for claw, 50% for aeturnum. Maybe even give the soul mode a buff where it doesnt cost mana while your in it so it would still be viable with at will alt fires. just because the weapons feel kinda weak in evil difficulty I have been playing on hard this time through.
how does Evil difficulty compare to umm, Cero Miedo from DUSK?
I just cero miedo'd DUSK like 3 days ago, cero miedo is harder IMO, enemies just have more health in AE, I dont think they get any kind of health boost in DUSK. they hit harder in DUSK as well I feel like, probably because there is no armor in AE
so amid evil came out. it's a good game
cursed
Hey Leon do you think that you could make souls fall to the ground when enemies die rather than being stuck in the air?
Will there be an option to not turn off the screen soul fx, but to make it not permanent, like stay for 10 seconds or so?
the souls do fall if they can find something underneath
hmmmm must be a bug then as i've just had a soul in ep7m1 just float above the floor
some feedback after playing Ep1. the grenade dudes could have a buff in range/accuracy/grenade bounciness. Q1 ogres are one of my favorite enemies to fight against, so anything that makes them more similar will be good in my book 😛
New Blood, if you give us Amid Evil tonight, I will buy a Waste Money t-shirt and buy one of my friends a copy of Amid Evil
Pretty please?
I would love to see an assflash
🍑
YAY!
yeah got set live a few hours ago
Time for me to struggle out of bed and load up Amid Weavel then
I'm faced with a dilemma. On one hand, I wanna get all the achievements. But on the other, this one looks way cooler compared to the ones I have left
I think you can display specific achievements on your profile.
Ye
it's live? I don't see it
mine hasn't updated or anything, how does one tell?
oh there it goes
tyring to play it made it update
Might need to update it. Check your download queue. If not then- There
Restart steam verify files etc

and have dave approve it
just got home 5 minutes ago heh
6 episodes?
i'll pause it for now
Why did you delete 7th?
.reprm 4
#4 stopped.
#amid-evil-or-hunt-showdown | ✍| 11:40 | **RISE UP, CHAMPIONS! AMID EVI...
looks like ya boi is coming in late to work
whoa even shill's getting in on it
aaah
he just didn't play the 7th episode!
that's why he thought 6th is the latest one
oof
he need to win the game to post stuff of amid evil
Nearly 40% downloaded bois
I beat the first episode again and I think I found a bug. The automatic Soul Mode doesn't seems to work. You still have to activate it manually.
Check the options
It was changed
Oh yeah so you still have to fire
It's intended
Oh, ok.
I misinterpreted the option.
I thought it was a new mode when it immediately activates if you have maximum soul amount.
im sure that was on by default
i don't remember turning it off but maybe i did
like you fill the soul meter
yeah the next attack starts it
you next shot will be powerup soul
im still waiting to play EP. 7
Alt fire soul mode is for weaklings
but downloading at 10 kb/s
Oof
rip
Oof

it would be faster to order a DVD
personally, I would like if the alt fire mode could be toggled on/of at will, so you can use it in say, 4 seconds here and 8 seconds there. Obviously, in exchange and to maintain balance, the souls/second expenditure would have to be rebalanced, the same with the damage done by the alt fire mode.
AECASUAL
Alt fire soul mode is already broken as is, no need to make it even more broken
(also, as stated, it is for weaklings and game journos)
you haven't read the second part or what? I'm actually saying it should be nerfed in power
Then what would be the purpose of having a soul mode in the first place?
Not that this discussion matters much anyway, they're not going to make any substantial changes to a core mechanic the day before leaving EA
It seems like a "press button to win" thing to me. It takes the edge out of the combat. Where is the challenge if you can just store it and use it whenever you find a mildly difficult combat?
Nah, it's a hard pass for me
If I were a dev, I wouldn't have implemented it in the first place, but Leon is way nicer than me
the vainilla one it's the one that say, push it to the limit!
if they had gone that way, I would have envisioned it as souls being a consumable, where alt mode consumes souls at a rapid rate. being a short term overdrive
but like you said, it would require rebalancing
Huh, I didn't knew that in EA there was no alt fire mode, I thought it always was like that
the way it is is more like a berzerker powerup, which is quite fun
Yeah, that was added in a later update because people complained about not being able to use soul mode whenever they wanted
It's the only addition they've made I'm not fond of, but whatever, at least is optional
Leon please add a Staff of Azure Orb and Star of Torment in E2M2
Beholder are so annoying to fight without the Staff
I want to give it a like, but that would ruin something beautiful
Get it to 420
there's no strafe jumping, right?
you can sort of use jumping for a speed advantage
but its only to preserve gained speed
because the less frames you are on the ground, the less friction applies
so if you get going fast with some planet jumps, you can preserve it with precise jumps
How do you do planet jumps? Theyre like grenades from a 40mm where they don't blow unless they hit a certain distance, right? I killed myself trying to do one earlier, and when I fired it at my feet it didnt do anything, not even hurt me
Ehhhh no
Ordered pizza that should arrive when Amid Evil downloads the last ep
you do them the same way as most other games
If you shoot at your feet and jump at the same time, you'll be boosted upwards
As in Quake
with precise timing, you will do a really good planet jump and take no damage
imagine being a planet to only make a warrior jump higher
this post it's made by shotting star gang
The explosion has to happen when you are still rising otherwise the jump won’t work
I got
Pizza
I got
Amid Evil
I've had a smoke
Time to fucking party like it's 22 of june 1996
I got some weird "holes" in E2M3
(the small blue stripe to the left)
Another one, right next to the lamp in the center
They appear just for a split second, but enough to be noticeable
Nah been happening since the very first Dec 2017 build for me
occultist culling
every level in the game
Let's hope that bloodstained or my friend named pedro wont kill this games launch sales
Do you guys think Amid Evil is child friendly enough to show to kids?
how old are kids?
I mean in general. Amid Evil seems to have very little blood, at least red stuff
As far as I have seen at least.
for me game not really have violent content, its not Manhunt
if they're like 13 then sure
It’s typical fantasy gladiator violence with semi cute pixel graphics I’d say 12 +
I dont think Bloodstsined or Pedro will kill AE sales. They are all very different games. AE has That boomer appeal

I didnt play the others since I was waiting till its release
is music supposed to be really quiet during Ep1? Cause I can barely hear it, even though I turned the volume way up for it
Yes
At least you're not starting E5M2 with 20HP
I must admit
Episode 1 is beautiful and an incredible first impression in terms of visual style. It also has some pretty stellar gameplay
playing AE on the new save file and its the same like when i was playing day 1
its fucking great 👌 
gonna wait for gog release to play the game again from start
I hope the game comes out tonight pretty please
It's already out
Are there more secrets added in 1.0, or any reason to stop my play through midway into E4?
I can't wait to try the full game out! I got a new monitor coming in the mail, this will be a great game to test the high refresh rate 👍
i dont remeber the boss of the level that it's full darkness and really thighs plataform that if you screw up have to go up again
and with a clockwise part like a castlevania
but in waiting for kick their arse again
im was on episode 3 after the update replaying the whole game again
maybe that was ep.5
so how long has AE been in development
1-2 years? something like that
what the fuck
how come it takes amid evil 2 years to make the best shooter of 2019 but project borealis still looks like a unity game 3 years later

Are the people making Borealis paid? 
Also, when you send a Fire Visage out of the map Team Rocket style with the star
does it eventually crash into the Gateway?
ep7 just droped?
yup
fuck ye
fuck yeeeeeeeee
and it's good
Really freaking good
PB is a project of a way different scope, done in their free time, and they also probably dont have the experience that leon and simmo have (20+ years of modding, tinkering, and game development)
they did a lot of rott13
leon was the producer
they also worked on bombshell, rad rogers, uhh other stuff im sure
plus dozens of maps for doom
hype
Anyone else getting a weird bug with their save/load windows? It's like all my saves keep multiplying
This game with raytracing 😈
what's the verdict, lads?
AE good
AE good
AE pretty good
Amazing game
A In AE stands for Awesome
AE is pretty good
3/9 secrets 😮
E1m1? Yeah some are really tough to find
I love AE but why does Dave keep calling the highest rated fps on Steam? Dusk is rated higher, for example.
I played a long time ago in amid but love how weapons works right now
dusk is not rated higher technically
if you do a search on steam fot the FPS tag, and sort by user reviews
youll get AE, Portal, Dusk
damns its as user reviewed as portal
i wish the sorting was more granular on steam
i want to search for new games newly added
not sort by release date
as u were
they're both 3rd party
ja
they make use of the steam API to do what they do
i wouldn't be surprised by a third party having necessarily inaccurate infos
Only suggestion I have I love that in dusk for finish level you need press action key. Its usefull because you can comeback and try find secrets and other stuff before finish
well, third parties generally use some sort of "confidence" algorithm that helps separate anomalies out, and has a more consistent general depiction of top games
like realistically, neither of our games are as successful as portal
that game has like 100k+ reviews
ae has like a couple hundred
so its not REALLY fair to compare them by raw percentage
Well Portal is made by Valve
its far easier for a game to have 98% rating if only 500-1000 people have reviewed it
than say, 100k people
portal has been known to patronize dark alleys and covetous corners
Portal is just okay. Bit of a meme game tbh
it was solid fun a nice mix of goofy not to be taken too seriously narrative amidst the fun puzzles
i think i had more fun with portal 2 co-op though
that was a masterclass of enjoyment
Portal 1 was epic portal 2 was a meme game with gross movement
But Amid evil is better
eh rather than deriding an entire product as meme game i just enjoyed it
especially with a buddy
ae better then dusk
Tru tru
Both game are 11/10
is it alright to dispel the air of sycophantism, is being critical is allowed
lol portal 2 coop
let's just say that whoever you played it with made or broke that experience
Im was the stupid one that never see the portal rigth
so that my experence with co op
Amid evil coop when
Honestly this sounds good
does this game have our lord and savior movement tech like dusk does or is it pretty vanilla movement?
it ain't as fast as dusk movement wise
but you've still got decent speed and mechanics like rocket jumping
gotcha
it's got better level design, but it's movement controls aren't nearly as satisfying
@glass glade
Thanks, I'll probably pick it up at some point
it's a beautyful level desing too
lol there's an achievement for quitting
and is sad QnQ
I'm really looking forward to this. Come this Summer Sale, I'm gonna buy the full game immediately.
oh baby it's really here, time to see what the last 5 or so episodes are all about.
amid evil's movement is the best ive seen in any unreal game though
the jumping is satisfying af and i dont know why
there's nothing more satisfying than jumping and constantly hearing the fart noise of landing
it's so nice
yesss the jumping is so satisfying. especially the subtle little screen bob when you land
it's floaty
but in a good way
sometimes it's a little frustrating but once you get used to the movement you can platform like a motherfucker
yeah ae's movement is waaay better for platforming than really anything else
ep6 would be unbearable without it lol
true true
Portal was a solid mechanic that should’ve been in half life
Instead it got repeated to death
Guys, trading cards of Amid Evil has come!
no prices for it
you might be the only one with it. so you name the price
i've never been in such a position before
How does Amid Evil compare to Dusk?
you shoot things until they die
bout were the similarities end
AE is more like hexen
Thinking about grabbing this up so that I have both flavors of retro shooter
Bullet speed is much slower than Dusk, yet still challenging enough in its own way.
How do the 7 episodes compare to Dusk's three?
I assume this game's levels are much bigger
Amid Evil has no armor, unlike Dusk.
There's one secret level in AE.
I find AE more challenging than DUSK so far
but that maybe because I can't outrun everything in AE like I could in DUSK
buy my sacred path card pls
Ah, that’s neat. 4 episodes of 7
yeah
Is one of them a secret?
all seven are the main game
Nah there's 29th level.
idk where this secret level is
It's in the hub area.
What I meant was “for the 4 levels per episode, is one per episode a secret?”
Nope, 4 levels x 7 episodes + 1 secret level = 29 levels.
You mentioning a hub area reminds me of Gauntlet. Coincidentally, it’s one of my favorite games
I’ll see about grabbing up AE when I can. Hopefully it gets coop, that’ll be fun
@meager forge Aye, no interaction key, just get close to the message or touch buttons.
yeah the game has a hub world from which all portals are accessed
that makes it harder then for me to find secrets
cause i'm so used to hitting e on a wall
This game doesn't have "interact walls to open secret door" function.
does this game have "fake walls"?
dis game got released now right?
my body is ready
One thing I want to know, are the weapons' FP models sprites or polygons?
ayy
They are sprites.
normal mapped sprites
You can read a little about it on Wikipedia
so they react to the lighting and all that as if they were rendered ingame
all the pickups are sprites as well
I know what some of you may be thinking, "Of course they're sprites." But with some games making polygonal items (be it characters or whatever) that look like sprites (Guilty Gear Xrd for example)...
nah theyre real sprites. its impossible to tell in videos and stuff but ingame you can
Also, is it just me or is 'fullscreen' actually borderless window?
there's an article coming up about how the sprite weapons are done
fullscreen should be fullscreen, borderless should be borderless
Well when I alt-tab while in fullscreen the gameplay's still in the background as if it was in borderless. So either it's autoswitching to borderless when I alt-tab, or 'fullscreen' is bugged.
Well, since DSR works I'm going with the former. Carry on.
should definitely make it an option
@night ginkgo It's not that it doesn't 'pause', it's that it doesn't minimize like exclusive fullscreen games do.
Hence my initial confusion.
Also, any chances of allowing Render Scale to go over 100%?
thanks for the cool game, somehow this is the thing that got my 3yo asking if we can play video games
I might be a terrible parent idk
noice
yeah my 5 year old nephew loves it
which I was not expecting since he plays fortinite most of the time
We’re all gamers here. Had my N64 when I was just 2
My dad gave me tons of demo discs on my PS1, and I just loved replaying all those bits of games
let me just flex on you here, I was making doom wads when I was 8
dang
I didn't start making maps and learning C until I was 12 or 13
haha yeah I remember playing with web stuff too
I don't think my daughter has much of a chance to learn modding with UE4
Yeah, I’m kinda late on the whole “child prodigy” stuff
My ambitious, “get things done” side of me didn’t kick in until I was well into high school
I’m definitely a late bloomer
Good news is, I got myself a music software thing to play with today. Gonna see about making me some music
it's never too late
I always feel like I should have been doing this right out of high school
but making games was so inaccessible compared to nowadays
I know. I love music, been making stories while listening to my favorite tunes for decades. Now I think I finally found my career
I’m 23, btw. Loving metal about the same time I was gaming on the 64
I only know Unity by hobby my pro career is all sysadmin/full stack dev for THE MAN
it's all good though it still makes me happy
The Man?
Ew
/jk
I think if i were to work government, it’d be as a Park Ranger. Love the outdoors and critters
I wanted to do that when I was a kid
heh
My grandad did it for a few weeks to fill in for someone while they were on holiday, I helped him out. Pretty easy job really
you just gotta live in the middle of nowhere
No internet connection? Pass
that one was made by both me and simmo
@steady roost you just need AE 4kidz edition
the actual wad in map pic below was made by my uncle
this is why UE4's unfriendlyness towards modding cuts me up; having good access to hammer/worldcraft/trenchbroom or the build editor or whatever made me (and lots of other people) want to get into modding/mapping/gamedev early on
yep
however
ue4 by itself is pretty much the same
it's just a blank slate
with those game editors you already had systems etc which made it much easier
is the issue with ue4 that you can't just dump a folder full of assets into the game directory and you have to compile it all in
Ja, it's the jumping off point I think that helps sometimes
im not super familiar with ue4 past "I did a few tutorials before deciding to use Unity and never looking back"
I feel like its probably pretty different from UE2
@night ginkgo DSR works in-game (no editing required) but I found that it misaligns the mouse cursor a bit. (as in the cursor is an inch below where it appears to be, if that makes sense) Might be able to fix that on my end though.
I've been busy all day, and all I could think about while running errands was Amid Evil. Jesus what did you do to me.
Yep, changing the game's DPI settings fixed my mouse issue
cool cool

i like the new button textures for the eps
dunno if that's actually new but i just noticed
yeah it's new
