You can see early where the madness set in
junior rune
So... when Amid Evil 2 coming out?
night ginkgo
yeah
junior rune
You deserve it... the game was... "amid Goodness"
I don´t think we shouldn´t compare since both are amazing, but Amid Evil has better levels and weapons than Dusk.
steady bough
I've fallen off like 10 times man, ya'll are some bastards I swear
sonic compass
thats gonna get taken down
night ginkgo
you mean those elevator type platforms? they keep inertia btw so you can jump as they're going up and you'll jump really high
night ginkgo
lmao what the hell is going on in that vid
steady bough
I can fall with style baby
craggy violet
collision detection?
night ginkgo
uhh
craggy violet
loaded save and it happened
craggy violet
it's happens every time i load it
night ginkgo
you can send me that save
craggy violet
THAT particular save
steady bough
holy shit dude, the champion is stuck in an earthquake
craggy violet
where's it located, in the balls?

that's a nutty glitch

Review 666: it not good, 500 hours played, thumbs up
night ginkgo
review 666: hey how come I'm in this game???
vivid flame

review 666: don't own it yet but it looks neat
gloomy pike
are you terrified of the game launching now and reading the reception closely?
light obsidian
ive only gotten through replaying the first two episodes for now but damn that Forgone Fortress OST is 
. and oh how i've missed the Star Of Torment
crystal shuttle
amid evil releases 1 day before my birthday, is this a sign
glass glade
What all is changing on the release version? Or do we not know yet
frosty drift
not much if anything
the special edition which includes the OST will become available though
glass glade
oh, doesn't it not have all the episodes yet though?
glass glade
oh alright, I'll probably pick it up tomorrow then. Looks pretty cool
I thought early access meant it was still incomplete :P
frosty drift
be sure to wait till the official launch happens in a few hours. it'll be accompanied by a small discount 😃
glass glade
I figured, but if it's even half as good as dusk it will still be worth the 20 dollars to me :)
night ginkgo
are you terrified of the game launching now and reading the reception closely?
not terrified
but yeah we're watching closely
static socket
is it here??? the ost????
frosty drift
well, if you fancy giving us some extra support grabbing the OST is the perfect way to do so
night ginkgo
ye
static socket
YES
frosty drift
it iz real
glass glade
amid evil has a focus on aim like dusk does yeah? I mean I know it doesn't have guns but it seems like it involves a lot of shooting
static socket
yes
frosty drift
it basically has guns but they've all been replaced by magic weapons
glass glade
Cool, I like games that involve a lot of aim because it's basically the only thing I'm actually good at in gaming lol
static socket
think of it like, the staff is the pistol, the whisper's edge is the shotgun, the voltride is the chaingun, etc etc
and wow we're polar opposites, aiming is something im absolutely terrible at but im great at movement
glass glade
I'm pretty good at movement tech too, I just don't like games that have a lot of strategy, or, well, thinking
i just like shoot shoot and running around
frosty drift
Yea AE won't make you think too much
frosty drift
The enemies are a bit more complex to deal with than in dusk but they're still fairly simple to handle
lapis elm
except for the heartfelt walking sim cutscenes
frosty drift
Point at them and shoot
lapis elm
where we learn about the champion's motivations and feelings about evil
static socket
true i forgot about those
glass glade
I'm fine with more complex enemies, dusk was kinda easy to run casually tbh
lapis elm
maybe we were the evil all along
static socket
dusk is a quintessential quake clone, while amid evil has a little more depth to it
ae's enemies are pretty forgettable tbh, but there's just so many of them
frosty drift
Each episode has its own lineup pretty much
static socket
yeah and i love it
glass glade
That probably makes for some fun speedrunning then I'd imagine
lapis elm
I think they're memorable but because they're replaced by a new set each episode, you sort of mentally switch them out a bit
the ones in ep 6 i would say, stand out
static socket
WOW spotify is slow, it took it like 2 minutes to start playing the first track in ae's ost
well im also installing a buttload of stalker coc mods
glass glade
Does this game have much of a speedrunning scene or not yet? I noticed the leaderboard is mostly one guy
static socket
not yet
glass glade
then again dusk is mostly twan so i guess that doesn't mean much
night ginkgo
you can't aim in AE
it doesn't zoom it
but most of the projectiles you fire are LARGE
static socket
no ADS
glass glade
oh yeah ads isn't something I was worried about, I meant aim as a skill
lapis elm
yeah techically there are no sights
you have to sort of peer down the staff
or whatever
aim down staff (ADS)
glass glade
lol
Also a little off topic maybe but how long does it take to get my rat role? I would love to record commentary of my first run through the game and post it in the streamer den
static socket
shouldnt take any time at all, just engage in a conversation for a while and before u know it you'll get rat
glass glade
ah okay
signal quartz
boo boo gah gah...zzzzzzzz.
glass glade
lol isn't the soundtrack out already
static socket
yes its OUT NOW
its fucking orgasmic 😩
definitely gonna have this album on repeat for the next month until i get sick of it
night ginkgo
it's awesome
sounds better than in game
you can BUY the sound track on bandcamp or on steam in 12 hours
potent hatch
random question but are all the steam achievements unlockable now?
glass glade
I'd buy the soundtrack just to support you guys if I wasn't such a poorboi. Hopefully buying the games is enough to help keep the lights on
queen leaf
Ok up to the Sacred Path now
hoo boy is it awesome!
I don't remember much of the layouts so basically going in blind
queen leaf
did notice I was getting severe framedrops randomly that I've never noticed before, noticed that GPU utilisation would plummet as well, this occurred though out EP1-2 but not in the first horde map even when everything is exploding, doing a fresh install including configs to see if that resolves it
even did a fresh GPU driver install
but beside that
super fun
oh and the 2nd horde map the name escapes me didn't do this either, played that yesterday as well
somber osprey
I think you guys are allowed to use everyone because its a big deal realse of this awesome game!
queen leaf
Also did fall out of the first Sacred Path map somehow, put up a report but not sure if I can replicate it
may have something do with it sitting about on my drive applying update after update going from OS to OS and whatnot, I never uninstalled the game since release until now
potent hatch
alright, good to hear Leon 
night ginkgo
@queen leaf maek sure you're not on unlimited framerate
also going fullscreen can help with weird dips
also yeah we're checking out that falling out of the world thing so weird
queen leaf
Aye I always play on exclusive, had v-sync on too
I'll smear my face on the tunnels to see if I can do it again after a fresh install
"champion! what are you?!"
Sparks flying everywhere
static socket
is there any place i can get the splash screen artwork in HD? with the hand
like this, but the full thing
queen leaf
aye on the site
night ginkgo
yeah
static socket
huh?
static socket
ohh right lmaoo
queen leaf
Screenshots also make for some good wallpapers
just downloading a few for a slideshow on my 2nd monitor
lapis elm
some of those ones from the start of ep 5 with the skybox and the architecture are great for that^
queen leaf
Just taking hub world, EP1-3 for now
fringe eagle
man i gotta say, ae feels very close to quake, but not very much like heretic or hexen
fringe eagle
well thankfully it does actually stand on its own lol
fringe eagle
its always tough when you see games that are trying to match the feel of an older game
queen leaf
plus you know you would want to turn it off....
winged ibex
Unreal's PBR and lighting is good shit.
Just requires good artists like Simon to make the most of it.
fringe eagle
unreals pabst blue ribbon
i do like how theres actual variance in brightness
oh lmao i just noticed the change from alternate soul mode to auto soul mode
fringe eagle
i may change it back, somehow its even more stressful when you have to choose when to trigger it
lapis elm
I think in both cases there's an element of strategy in terms of picking up that last soul or choosing to trigger it at a certain time
queen leaf
I like the strategy it imposes
lapis elm
but it flows better on auto
I think having it on manual turns it into a superpower
whereas on auto
it's like a mechanical phase of play
copper tundra
I personally prefer alt, since it lets you pop that shit whenever
it's sorta like quake 1 and quake 2
fringe eagle
i get caught up on making sure i trigger it at the right time
copper tundra
whereas quake 1 is just you pick it up and go ham with it,
fringe eagle
and a) that kinda seems unfair and b) i waste souls that way
copper tundra
quake 2 lets you trigger whenever
copper tundra
and I think that using ordinary really does make you think on your toes more than alt soul mode
fringe eagle
er, maybe not all
copper tundra
yeye, just using it as a sort of example of how it kinda works
fringe eagle
yeah its certainly different
copper tundra
lmao it'd be funny if there was a chance while using the Claw that you'd just grab the planet you're currently on
fringe eagle
claw has a 1 in a million chance to instantly kill you
or you fire the claw powered up and the screen just goes black
crystal spruce
Hey Leon how many levels does the Amid Evil badge have?

whoa giving away dev secret codes

I just typed it in and my computer made a grinding noise and turned off and won't turn on what did you do
cinder mist
youre not a dev :(
heavy plume
way to feed my imposter syndrome
ivory rover
i think i'm stuck on a bit in Episode 3 because i made a mistake and decided to start my first game on Hard
cinder mist
what level?
ivory rover
i'm stuck because i'm bad
cinder mist
i am truley sorry for your lots
u can do it, i believe in you
once you get back to gateway, you can change the difficulty by heading through the gate of your choice
ivory rover
I hate those green balls with the spikes on 'em.
ivory rover
alrighty
I wanted to start on Evil, but i couldn't find the gate for it so fuck it i'll just do that later
crystal spruce
Nah Voltride is best
Stops them in their track and an overkill takes out the whole group
Azure orb is also really good
heavy plume
Soulmyr I appreciate your HOM&M3 avatar
cinder mist
btw leon @heavy plume is jason, we were going to do original ue3 amid evil together way back if you remember
we did like one skype call about it lmao
heavy plume
I suspect he recognizes me
cinder mist
hahahaha good
heavy plume
Since I haven't changed my screen name from 35 years ago
ivory rover
hewwo @heavy plume ! :D
cinder mist
i cant believe jason is 94 years old
night ginkgo
I can
cinder mist
lmao
heavy plume
Oh damn I always forget I'm 94
cinder mist
its been 84 years
heavy plume
it must by my age
crystal spruce
69 you mean
cinder mist
nice
heavy plume
Hewwooo OwO who's this? notices you :3
knotty imp
Am I weird for hardly using the celestial star even on amid difficulty?
cinder mist
amid difficulty lmao
cinder mist
amid difficulty is easier than easy
buoyant phoenix
Amid difficulty you can only die in the torches
knotty imp
I actually died to torches more than I like to admit
buoyant phoenix
That's the genius of Amid difficulty
heavy plume
@night ginkgo Leon ignoring that it departed from my original vision for the game DRASTICALLY. I'm super hype about it and wow I'm just immensely proud that you guys pulled it off. It's a good and unique experience that was created
knotty imp
What was the og vision?
night ginkgo
Thanks m8
oh it was like top down and towers and stuff
snakes and bats
and a sword
buoyant phoenix
Your granddad or whatever gives you a sword
heavy plume
Pieces of a sword that you need to do trap puzzles to solve or something idk
night ginkgo
knotty imp
Oops
brave eagle
I'm a bigger fan of the current direction haha
knotty imp
Inb4 its the sequel idea
cinder mist
lmao i still like that logo
night ginkgo
“Amid Evil” is a top down, 3rd person hack and slash/dungeon crawler. Set in 3 towers, the player makes his way from the top to the bottom of each tower. Your grandad’s sword is the source of all your power, which you use to defeat the evil minions.
heavy plume
amid mild annoyance
night ginkgo
Synopsis
Your famous lumberjack grandfather dies, leaving with you his magic sword,
ETC
heavy plume
Classic
knotty imp
Wish my granddad was famous
heavy plume
I played it in my head so many times
night ginkgo
defo could be a spin off
brave eagle
Amid Timber
night ginkgo
"famous lumberjack grandfather" is a great line
cinder mist
around shittiness
buoyant phoenix
How kid friendly was the original idea for the game?
knotty imp
I wonder when did things started to go miles away from the initial pitch
buoyant phoenix
Also I wish you guys still had the original Amid Evil wad you made as kids
cinder mist
i think the name just fit so we used it
oak thorn
I'm gonna have to arrest you boiz...
night ginkgo
yeah basically
oak thorn
the videogame you made is too fun
night ginkgo
the game started with a sprite test really
oak thorn
it's against the law
night ginkgo
cinder mist
then the law is wrong
night ginkgo
this is the first AE image
cinder mist
yep
oak thorn
I like how all the weapons remain relevant throughout the game
cinder mist
that sprite is still there btw
winged ibex
Do you ever just
cinder mist
all the dog damn time
knotty imp
I didn't even know the weapons were sprites until someone told me about it
night ginkgo
the sprites are the real magic
winged ibex
Yup.
knotty imp
All this time, the champion was fighting the forces of evil with a two dimensional representation of a battle axe
winged ibex
For their next game they're probably going to have some kind of fancy render the 3d model to an offscreen buffer then put that on a plane sorta thing so that they can have billboard enemies with fully interped animations.
night ginkgo
We'll release some early versions next week or something
winged ibex
Just kidding UE4 doesn't handle that sorta thing well.
night ginkgo
for the peeps who are interested
night ginkgo
yeah our early versions are THICC so will have to be hosted on like google drive or something
winged ibex
Runtime 3D model to billboard things are really neat though, kinda wish UE4 had culling layers and such for that sorta thing.
heavy plume
we're actually going to 3D print the items irl and in real time and then stream images of them over the internet and superimpose them into the game
knotty imp
One of those battle axes legit look like a render from dark souls 1
buoyant phoenix
You guys remember orb of triangles
cinder mist
lmao yeah
night ginkgo
yep
knotty imp
Is that a magic bow?
winged ibex
Wait no, their next game will give the player hands.
It
will be so epic and revolutionary.
knotty imp
Crucial lore
winged ibex
Good thing you have magic that lets you pick up objects.
knotty imp
It's more that your floating mass of weapons absorbs them
buoyant phoenix
Evil makes your hands giant and uses them to grab you
knotty imp
Is this the prequel?
buoyant phoenix
And recreates the box art
night ginkgo
wow lmao
knotty imp
If I knew that was my hands
night ginkgo
who told you
knotty imp
I wouldn't have chopped my own thumb off
winged ibex
I'm definitely excited to see what you guys make next.
cinder mist
newsflash asshole, you've been amid evil this whole time!

Raisin Raiser
winged ibex
Is that the sequel to potato race?
cinder mist
raisin hell
knotty imp
Will there be a collab level with amid evil?
winged ibex
A game where you play as a raisin farmer in hell seems fun.
Farm grapes to make raisins, in hell.
heavy plume
your hands come back as one of the bosses near the end
night ginkgo
simmo help me dig thru the ae chat logs for forbidden MSPAINT Concepts
hahahahaha
knotty imp
That's my favorite enemy
winged ibex
Leaked concept art for Indefatigable presents potato race.
crystal spruce
damn the dlc is just a devmap
knotty imp
Big fan of the ultrawide
crystal spruce
tbh give me a devmap
night ginkgo
that's 256 palleted by the looks of it
cinder mist
plus illegal heretic or hexen textures i dont remember
winged ibex
This is my application for concept artist at Indefatigable.
winged ibex
Dangit, oh well.
night ginkgo
and actually looks like something
cinder mist
night ginkgo
communicating the idea is a lot easier visually than with words
heavy plume
lol I was gonna post my concept art but cant' figure out how to post an image

cinder mist

alpha stuff
ivory rover
damn
cinder mist
holy shitt
ivory rover
that is an alpha weapon if i've ever seen one
cinder mist
man that was one of the first maps we started, and it got further than that
but never used
night ginkgo
yeah cut map
cinder mist
heavy plume
Haha wow that looks so alpha
nocturne tapir
so i'm giving AMID EVIL a go from the beginning again now that it's gone gold and i'm already loving many of the changes you guys have made
the axe in particular is absolutely lovely now
cinder mist
❤
cinder mist
^
nocturne tapir
ah okay, just had to be sure
cinder mist
yeah i feel
night ginkgo
good idea
cinder mist
lmao
night ginkgo
comic sans as well
nocturne tapir
also the new effects on the azure staff are good shit
cinder mist
and under construction gifs
night ginkgo
heavy plume
hahaha
night ginkgo
and animated dripping piss from the text
nocturne tapir
or just go straight Word art
nocturne tapir
probably too reminiscent of Blood's menu dripping, had to be sure you'd avoid copyright issues
heavy plume
I think there was a bug with the piss module of the newest AMD cards
maybe that's why?
nocturne tapir
the gods said you'd be showered in gold but you didn't think it was meant this particular way
cinder mist
what other way is there
nocturne tapir
N O N E
cinder mist
one mans piss is another mans treasure
nocturne tapir
... see now i'm wondering how Midas' piss was like
i should go back to trying out the gold version
cinder mist
gold 
nocturne tapir
still loving azure staff soul mode, it's like hosing enemies over with a horizontal waterfall of uh, death water i guess
cinder mist
when did you last play?
nocturne tapir
buhh, when arcane expanse came out, i think
nocturne tapir
dunno if just loading an old save prevented me from seeing some of the changes because i was too lazy to play through the game every time :v
cinder mist
oh all thats changed since then is the staff is blue instead of purple
heavy plume
ooh an oculus?
nocturne tapir
AMID VR confirmed when
nocturne tapir
i just realized that i can now feasibly say "taste the fury of my blue balls" with the azure orb
heavy plume
I've wondered how hard it is for a game to support VR. Can it really be that hard? There needn't be any fundamental changes to the game mechanics, just slightly change the display parameters for 3D headset
nocturne tapir
[approval]
heavy plume
like ignoring motion tracking controllers and all that
cinder mist
i think the most important thing for VR is that the performance has to be really good, cause low frame rates are extra noticeable
heavy plume
Oh yeah that's true.
crystal spruce
Imagine Amid Evil VR but you can swing the axe as fast as you want
heavy plume
You instantly get performance penalty needing to render the scene twice each frame too
night ginkgo
the weapon in AE would look badddddd in VR
crystal spruce
Wee John Dance Dance revolution
crystal spruce
Well if you use the 3D models it would probably look good
Save for the Aeturnum
That would probably look like tangled seaweed
nocturne tapir
i have played so much Blood recently that it's weird to be able to look straight up
but i'm only barely getting done with the first level and i'm loving it
it feels so much better now
crystal spruce
Looking up is required for secrets
nocturne tapir
yes exactly :V
cinder mist
glad youre liking it and feel like its improved
crystal spruce
Make sure to play with AESTHETIC for the best experience
nocturne tapir
i must also shamefully admit that i'm only playing on Hard, not Evil
oh right that, let's DO THIS
crystal spruce
Hard has it's benefits
You can use the Voltride more often
Some enemies don't feel as spongey
I don't know of Evil has more enemies
nocturne tapir
PARTYYYYYY
i don't think it does
i uh, hope it doesn't
i want max mook count :v
crystal spruce
I say this because I remember two Overseers in E5M2
I'm just not sure if they're exclusive to Evil or if Leon removed them
nocturne tapir
good question, i guess i'll find out when i get there
also some bosses are just insanely spongey on Evil
looking at you, forge boss
crystal spruce
The evil eye has the most health iirc
nocturne tapir
i am, however, going with Warrior Mode because i'm a dumbass
crystal spruce
Nah Warrior Mode is the way to go. Otherwise you stockpile ammo and enemies become less of a threat
nocturne tapir
oh right yeah it took forever to murder as well, but my rights to moan are limited by virtue of it being a hidden nightmare difficulty
yeah i kinda like Warrior Mode as well, similarly with Intruder Mode in DUSK
lime spindle
no no no the best experiance is AESTHETIC and AETHEORY
crystal spruce
They don't combine
nocturne tapir
also makes you less stingy with the powerful ammo :V
you lose it all anyways so might as well use it
lime spindle
hmmm coulda sworn i managed to get em both on at the same time
then again i did do it in the void
nocturne tapir
is it intentional that AETHEORY doesn't toggle when you input it again?
[voltride noises]
good shit
the electric boogaloo will never not be amazing
cinder mist
AEDIIDJIIL is the ultimate challenge mode
crystal spruce
I can't even enter a portal with DIID JIIL
old kelp
Amid evil is fun and looks good but movement and guns feel a bit spongey
Plus enemy placement is really bad in some levels.
Bc of the enmy design
nocturne tapir
oh jesus christ that is a challenge and a half
i didn't know this cheat existed lol
crystal spruce
Try AEPISS
night ginkgo
the hidden cheats lmao
heavy plume
I beat it in half an aepiss
nocturne tapir
i wonder if i can have both aepiss and aediidjiil
crystal spruce
That reminds me, is AEDAR still broken?
nocturne tapir
... i can
good grief
this looks like a constant rorschach kaleidoscope
aw, AEDAR is currently not working
crystal spruce
refunded
nocturne tapir
TrUe HaRd MoDe
wait i should try coupling that with aesthetic or aetheory as well
aw, they cancel out diidjiil
quasi pier
lots of new ppl in this discord channel, its nice to see this

i never did see it before now though
admittedly haven't flushed the first boss in a while either
(also holy shit soul mode blue balls is powerful)
night ginkgo
lmaoooooo
I think you just like never look at the floor
I pay attention to the boss so never noticed it
nocturne tapir
goes to show my priorities :V
sure there's a boss but that is a damned shiny floor
heavy plume
lmao 13:22 he wants to form a relationship with the enemies
why isn't this a dating sim
nocturne tapir
the enemies are just sprinting towards you for hugs and then you chop their heads off with an axe

it also strikes me that i've previously been making the game harder for myself by capping the frame rate at 120 when my PC apparently can't reliably reach that
versed vector
the timing for AE launch is so perfect because its midsummer eve here tomorrow so one extra day for throwing planets at monsters
i got the early access long ago but i might just replay the whole thing
cinder mist
there's been a few changes
versed vector
lol i bet
night ginkgo
Please do
nocturne tapir
guys i don't know how you've managed it but the star of torment feels even better than before
heavy plume
I love that you changed the staff into a personal massager it feels even better to use now
cinder mist
it always was for the imaginative
heavy plume
So I don't really understand if I'm waiting for something should I play the game now or when the count down is finished?
night ginkgo
Up to you m8
cinder mist
play the game when your indecision is finished
heavy plume
can you make a countdown timer for that
cinder mist
im not sure
tardy cove
Only a few hours left for the soundtrack to be available
night ginkgo
Amid soundtrack
nocturne tapir
Amid Hulshult
crystal spruce
Amid Evil is good. I have terrible aim so I end up losing shittons of hp
But it's hella good.
tardy cove
Yeah, they've gotten some polish
nocturne tapir
flushing bosses with souled staff is great
wheat yarrow
I hope you enjoy the soundtrack as much as you'll enjoy the game!
buoyant phoenix
Hell yeah dude
quasi pier
oh i enjoy it a LOT
buoyant phoenix
I wanted to ask how did the ambient part of finality come to be so melancholic?
wheat yarrow
The honest answer is a bit embarrassing haha
buoyant phoenix
Actually might wanna take it to #585652796351578112
wheat yarrow
Nah it's fine here. No spoilers
lapis elm
I've kind of dropped my spaghetti about the soundtrack already but
the opening track from the first level really sold the game for me
buoyant phoenix
Finality really sells the fight

It sounds like that because of 2 things:
- I wanted to score it as if the Hero gets "knocked down" and has to get up stronger than before. Kind of a self reflection moment. I knew even if it didn't translate to anything in the game that the mood would be right and we could use it sonewhere.
- It's actually kind of just a sad moment. I didn't really wanna finish this game. I was having a lot of fun. So that kinda bled in there. Felt like a "goodbye" wave

Bandcamp has the OST in 24bit. Which I would totally recommend

Amid Evil's soundtrack is a different beast from Dusk's, but it's also really good
dreamy prairie
Thx for this amazing job, Mr. Hulshult

Oh my god this soundtrack is so good

The thing I like most about the soundtrack is we get to hear Andrew make a different type of music, and it's pretty great
crystal spruce
Solar Solstice is good. It's infuriating, but good.

I honestly was expecting more metal a la Dusk or his Doom remakes, but I'm really digging the gothic ambiance. It's a surprising shift in tone from his other stuff and I think it's great. Aenigmata in particular gets me
@crystal spruce bruh wait til you get to the next ep. Shit murders you dead
crystal spruce
I shouldn't have played on normal, should I?
steady bough
Nah, I'm on hard first time play through and everything feels pretty fair. It's all about that movement, I also found that I was mistaken in conserving planet and Aethernum(whatever the modern art bfg is) ammo. Use that shit
crystal spruce
Noted, thanks for the tip
YEah it does sort of feel like if you conserve it you have less options
There's plenty of mana lying around

Will Amid be released (gold release I mean) at the same time on Steam and GOG?

I hope so
happy amid evil day
im just was taking my break for work, and this is my recomendations on youtube, the dude seems like dave. Coincidence?
crystal spruce
I never knew the Axe was going to be the only AE weapon in the game and that it could morph into different weapons!
Yes, I found an old post from an NB Moderator, and it's fascinating.

Higher quality (Flac, WAV) here https://andrewhulshult.bandcamp.com/

Ah so that's a good question, can I upgrade to that just to give money to Trashcan man
oak thorn
ye, i wanna upgrade

WARRIOR EDITION COMES WITH THE AMID EVIL OST BY ANDREW HULSHULT IN 320 MP3. IF YOU WANT FLAC/WAV. GO HERE. https://andrewhulshult.bandcamp.com/
spice moat
Usually yes
topaz stump
FLAC is higher quality
Its lossless
Andrew recommends it but if you cant really hear the difference between flac or mp3
spice moat
But to most people there's no difference between high bitrate OGG or MP3 and lossless formats such as FLAC
topaz stump
^
plucky isle
flac \ mp3 difference is heard only on a good sound gear
topaz stump
You can hear a difference on basic Sony headphones/Sennheisers if you know what you are listening for
frosty drift
you need studio grade gear to hear the difference between a high quality mp3 and an uncompressed flac
topaz stump
Atleast i can.
frosty drift
equipment you almost certainly don't have
plucky isle
I'm listening for trash music so yeah no difference 😃
solid ridge
There should've been a midi version called a midi evil
plucky isle
lmao

lol

24bit wav is my fav but Flac is great as well. Saves on storage

love the plugin in for FooBar

Yo don't forget opus

i don’t see the point of all this
there’s no detectable change, so why not use the one that’s a tenth of the size

congrats on the release 👍

@lyric halo it's detectable and measurable on mid-high end audio gear. Harder to tell on anything else. Bass response is the first place you'll notice. Stereo field three dimensional depth is the second place you notice.
dreamy prairie
Andrew, the chorus at some tracks, are randon quotes or have some lyric?
wheat yarrow
It's choir chants. Some in Latin and some in English
Yea some are random, some are actual lyrics
static socket
ae on vinyl when
dreamy prairie
any chance of publish the full lyrics?
wheat yarrow
I couldn't tell you off hand what track has what. I do remember that Finality sing "amid evil" at the end
Probably not honestly
static socket
no chance of vinyl release tho
i need me the big picture art album cover and pretty colorful records
quasi pier
btw laughter of main hero after weapon pickup is different in final version right?
quasi pier
yeah, thats why i thought
quasi pier
yeah, so many great content for a little price\free

Makes good games, no scummy practices and full of memes

but New Blood hates money, its official

There it's not a way to update to warrior?

Its coming

will be soon
crystal spruce
Does NewBlood hate money as much as I hate the Sacred Path boss?
vernal stump
hi! what are the exact proportional values to have the same vertical and horizontal sensitivity?
crystal spruce
If they hate money, why do they sell us games?
Why isnt dusk free
Tell us
Tell us damnit
steady bough
Bc they want to continue to afford to make good games
vivid flame
they just hate the money, that don't means they use it
crystal spruce
That's a good point

especially around the time only Dusk was announced

just a question before i get amid evil, does anyone know if you can turn off the volumetric fog and normal maps on the textures

@wheat yarrow apologies for the ping but I want to say the Amid Evil soundtrack kicks ass and is amazing from a non gameplay perspective. Really gets you into the ideas and thought of the game. Great stuff.
wheat yarrow
Thank you! No apology neccessary
vivid flame
also to say to andrew this ost it's on a good mood for the game, it's sounds mostly EPIC!

Is it bad that I've been listening to Hulshult's soundtracks since the doom remakes and ROTT soundtrack

nah

His Brutal Doom 64 track inspired me to improve my kick drum sound. So being a long time listener is only a good thing!

Aenigmata is the best
