[spice moat]

Which I thought was named "Pura Apogee"

[crystal spruce]

I just found out you can basically cheese the Corrupt Spirit boss by hugging the wall next to the Full Health pickup

Boss still sucks ass though

[hallow brook]

anyone get a bug where the rate of fire for all your weapons inexplicably lowers?

[frosty drift]

yeah that's on the game's side

[crystal spruce]

I know the Celestial Claw has some weird firing speed issues

[frosty drift]

the issue had to be pushed back for launch but now that the game's out we'll be focusing on getting it fixed

[static socket]

yeah the claw is super inconsistent

[spice moat]

Well, it's a weapon of chaos, after all ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[foggy garnet]

@quasi pier i wonder if they really played the game recently. cause i remember some months ago there was an AI patch that (to me at least) fixed the issue of enemies always beelining

[quasi pier]

dunno, its a RPG codex after all

[hallow brook]

apparently you can pick up Full Health pick-ups even for no gain when you are at 200 health

[tardy cove]

Hot take: The Aeternum is made of cosmic soap

[gentle zealot]

soap ribbons of death

[crystal spruce]

To me it looks like those Hubba Bubba Gum Tapes

[gentle zealot]

just more lsd-y

i haven't seen any in a while but they usually sell those in convenience stores, of which i haven't been to for anything other than a can of butane recently

[quasi pier]

i wish Aaeternum has some cool animations, but i understand that all weapons are 2D sprites

[gentle zealot]

mhm

[steady bough]

Butane for a lighter?

[quasi pier]

same for pickups

also 2d models

[gentle zealot]

you were right the first time marq

[steady bough]

Also sorry for ghost ping, my b accidently hit your prof pic with my big bear paw fingers

👌 yeah boi

[pine olive]

@crystal spruce Open Steam, go to Amid Evil's store page

Simpe as that

[old kelp]

Guys lets hype in the dusk chat instead of the amid evil chat

[quasi pier]

posted AE review right now 👍

[misty owl]

Well the link is right there anyway

[leaden narwhal]

Dave I’m trying to sleep

[elfin flame]

what's warrior edition?

[topaz stump]

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/

[frosty drift]

sry dave is hyped up on at least 25 different substances right now shilling AE

there's no "sleep"

[gloomy pike]

hey would anyone be allowed to upload the amid evil soundtrack to youtube?

[gentle zealot]

was gonna say

[elfin flame]

ahh ok

[crystal spruce]

i swear i thought false prophets was the j cole song for a second lol

[gloomy pike]

I listen there usually

[topaz stump]

@gloomy pike itll show up on there

[gentle zealot]

prolly on 5 different analogues of coke

[gloomy pike]

ok good

[dire briar]

FRONT PAGE HYPUUU

[frosty drift]

andrew will upload it there himself later

[hard vine]

yes my friend pedro good

[slate lake]

epic

[meager forge]

nice

it's right alongside hotline banana

[pine olive]

Ooh, nice! Thanks for the link Avain.

[hard vine]

rip i need exactly 5 euros to buy it fml

[crystal spruce]

wat

[hard vine]

why do they compare it to dusk

[crystal spruce]

Wat ping

[glass glade]

steam says i can buy the bundle for 14 ish dollars, since i already own dusk, but when i add the bundle to my cart it says 16 dollars

[hard vine]

gg steam

[glass glade]

im poor af so the 2 dollars actually means something to me lol

[hard vine]

i feel u bro i need exactly 5 euros to buy it fml

[frosty drift]

that we can't do anything about. bundle discounts are handled entirely by steam

[glass glade]

is it a steam issue or is it a me being dumb issue?

because it says i should be able to buy it for 14

[hard vine]

wait wot

the bundle is 12 euros for me

and i have dusk already

[glass glade]

im using freedom currency

[hard vine]

oh stfu

[glass glade]

lmao

[lethal elk]

damn the quality of that stream

[hard vine]

can dave stop pausing the game already ?

[spice moat]

I think Steam doesn't provide very good videostream quality

compared to Twitch or YouTube

[tardy cove]

Reminder that Dave has a lil girl in his care, so it's perfectly understandable that he has to pause now and then

[hard vine]

oh

[misty owl]

David*

[hard vine]

i didnt know that

[frosty drift]

david*

lil clarification: david is the dusk dev, dave is the crazy sunglasses dude from twitter

[glass glade]

hmm, how interesting/entertaining would a blind playthrough of AE be? Debating on going through the effort of recording/editing that

idk how many wacky antics the game has since im going into it blind, so idk if it's fun to watch people who have no idea what they're doing or not

[visual meteor]

Oh snap, hey toast.

[glass glade]

lmao what are you doing here

[visual meteor]

reading about amid evil

[glass glade]

you like old school shooters too?

[steady bough]

@glass glade depending on your state, there can be an electronics transaction sales tax

[visual meteor]

yes

[glass glade]

do you have dusk?

[visual meteor]

ya

[glass glade]

If you liked that you'll like amid evil, at least according to everyone on here

I was about to pick it up

[tardy cove]

@glass glade Much like Dusk, it starts fairly tame and goes bonkers towards the end

[steady bough]

That's the 2 dollar charge you're seeing

[visual meteor]

nice!

[glass glade]

looks like it was just a bug, not sales tax. Now it says 14.40 @tardy cove

had to refresh a couple times

[hard vine]

uhhhh

did it end just like that ?

[tardy cove]

Ah, I was referring about you going blind into the game

[glass glade]

sorry

[tardy cove]

Yeah, apparently

[glass glade]

i @d the wrong person

meant to mention marquis not you haha

but yeah if it is like dusk it would probably be fun to record

[hard vine]

lemme break it to you

its not like dusk

[copper tundra]

BUT

[hard vine]

its mechanics are however similar

[copper tundra]

it's absolutely still a lot of fun

[hard vine]

but its a completely different experience

[copper tundra]

^^

controls are a lot more floaty

the weapons aren't as cookie cutter

[hard vine]

^^^^^^^^

[copper tundra]

it's comparing Hexen to Doom

it's

[glass glade]

whatcha mean by floaty, like unresponsive?

[copper tundra]

nope! just a little floaty is all

[glass glade]

but I already bought it so I guess I'll see for myself :P

[copper tundra]

it's not as tight as DUSK but in a good way

bhopping is actually really satisfying

[hard vine]

some areas are way more open than dusk's

[copper tundra]

^

[glass glade]

wait there's bhopping in amid evil?

[hard vine]

ye

[copper tundra]

well

kinda?

[lethal elk]

the whole game is more open tbh

[glass glade]

Like CPMA or just jumping makes you go faster?

[copper tundra]

doesn't make you go all that faster

[hard vine]

no its a jumping sequence

w a w d w a w d

[copper tundra]

but it's the preferred way of moving around

[glass glade]

Is it comparable to any other game physics or is it its own thing?

[copper tundra]

it's kinda its own thing

[glass glade]

That's neat

[hard vine]

u will see

just go play it

[copper tundra]

see for yourself, it's fun

[glass glade]

Is it apparent in the game or do I have to learn it?

[hard vine]

its ez to learn

[copper tundra]

it takes a little bit of getting used to if you're coming from dusk for sure

but it's apparent

[glass glade]

I love me some movement tech in games so I'm glad it has some form of it

[hard vine]

i see u didnt play quake 3 / live

[glass glade]

hmm? I've played live

[hard vine]

ah then it will be ez as cake for u

[glass glade]

oh is it like quake live movement?

[hard vine]

not really

[elder herald]

No lol

[hard vine]

but using those basics u will learn em

[glass glade]

ah

[copper tundra]

to make your time in THE ASTRAL EQUINOX easier, there's a whisper's edge in the water in the first level

[glass glade]

spoilers reee

[hard vine]

i kinda forgot how bhopping works in amid evil cuz i played like last year

episode 4 wasnt out yet

[rustic bloom]

astral equinox is literally the first level

[glass glade]

Yeah I was joking :P

[rustic bloom]

[hard vine]

also the fans in the 3DR discord server have begun talking about the lawsuit

how smart of them

i told them to keep quiet until they solve the situation

but no

they kept going

[rustic bloom]

How is that related to AEyyy

[hard vine]

the first time i heard about the lawsuit it was in this chat

thats how

[rustic bloom]

Fair enough

[hard vine]

for real

like 2 weeks ago

[glass glade]

yus, mouse-sensitivity has amid evil on there so i can be a lazy mofo

[gentle zealot]

that ain't lazy

that's giving a shit about consistency between games

[glass glade]

lazier than measuring it out with a ruler or something, I like to have perfect sens

[gentle zealot]

a thing lots of people don't realize helps quite a bit

[proud gull]

i need to get perfect sens down

Like I think my dusk sens was perfect

[glass glade]

you can use the calculator to calculate your dusk sensitivities distance, then use that to convert to other games

I use 21cm/360 for every game

[gentle zealot]

yeah fuck that, i chose a sens mostly arbitrarily and just stuck to it
my jumping-off point is quake; sensitivity 0.65 at 2400 dpi

comes out to just under 10.5in/360

[rustic barn]

wass dis

[plucky isle]

game +ost

[spice moat]

Includes trash sounds

[frosty drift]

garbage tunes

[rustic barn]

bruh

[tall temple]

im sure seals come equiped with eyeballs

[rustic barn]

i can't find it on steam

[plucky isle]

wish it was called "Champion Edition" tho

[rustic barn]

can't find the info

well thank

[tall temple]

i take that back

you're right for once

[frosty drift]

valve's going to push out a change for the storefront soon-ish

[rustic barn]

[frosty drift]

eyh be easy on him, lain's a senior citizen

that dementia's rough to deal with

[dark granite]

@plucky isle we're saving that for if theres a bigger better edition or big box

[plucky isle]

Ah

fair enough

[glass glade]

I'm gonna livestream some amid evil soon, can someone post my stream in the streamers den for me since I can't post there yet? Or is that not allowed

Decided to stream instead of record my first playthrough since im lazy

[dark granite]

sure ill do it

dm it to me

[tall temple]

ill just give him access

[glass glade]

Oh that works too, thanks :)

[tall temple]

should be set

[glass glade]

Thanks!

[frosty drift]

@plucky isle

[plucky isle]

Lol

yeah he's cute

[dreamy prairie]

you're not the only one.

[woeful pagoda]

wait, there is no Subtitles in amid evil :((((??? my english is really bad

rip

[dark granite]

@woeful pagoda we have discussed localization, worry not

it will probably be translated at some point

[rapid furnace]

well, besides the announcer, everything connected to lore is written

[plucky isle]

"Warrior, prepare thyself, blyat"

That's what russkie localization will look like

[wheat warren]

This sale in booli. I just bought the game a few days ago and then it goes on sale.

[glass geyser]

no

thats

dude

[steady bough]

civvie's review when

[static socket]

God DAMNIT STOP COMPARING IT TO HERETIC AND HEXEN YOU FUCKING 😡 😡 😡

[plucky isle]

No.

dats better

[steady bough]

dusk is new blood's doom or quake idk
amid evil is new blood's hexen

[static socket]

Literally clicks on gmans video "heretic and hexen" FUUUU

[steady bough]

i mean yeah amid evil is more of an abstract thing

on its own, that's what i felt like seeing amid evil after further observation

while hexen and heretic has already existent settings n shit

[static socket]

Everything always has to be compared to something else nothing is completely original anymore

Dusk is a quake clone gone too far but Amid evil is nothing like heretic/hexen except for they both have magic weapons

[gaunt whale]

What's ??? like? Not there yet

[plucky isle]

actually AE is more of a Quake 1 + Unreal experience

[static socket]

That's closer than saying muh heretic

[steady bough]

unreal because vibrant colors

[solid ridge]

I see a lot of heretic

[steady bough]

fuck yes

[solid ridge]

In ae

Hexen not so much

Even new blood says that in ae steam page

[static socket]

Wym no it doesn't

[steady bough]

you can be inspired literally by anything but the thing may turn out something entirely different

[solid ridge]

It does as a curator

[teal carbon]

Hey guys

[lapis elm]

Yeah i mentioned this the other day that NB really advertises it as being a heretic spirital sequel when it's deffo more quake like

[teal carbon]

If I can run Dusk great on high settings

Will I be able to run this game fine?

[static socket]

I remember watching an old press video on AE and Dave calls it "Heretic in Unreal" like bruuuuuh cmon

AE plays way more like quake yeah

[solid ridge]

No strafe jump, no quake

[steady bough]

Will I be able to run this game fine?
that's what i've been wondering for a while
it's UE4, but i tried out couple of other UE4 games that turned to be optimized extremely well considering my shitty-ass laptop specs

[static socket]

@teal carbon dusk hardly takes anything at all to run, AE is a little more taxing. Do your specs match up to what's on the steam page

[teal carbon]

Kinda

[static socket]

What's ur specs

[solid ridge]

I could run amid evil fine in a notebook with a GeForce 840m

So anything will do

[static socket]

Just gpu and CPU don't need to fill up the page with numbers

[gentle zealot]

leon's benchmark for this is "if you can run fortnite, you can run this"

[steady bough]

fortnite works janky

[crystal spruce]

Oh bruh...

[steady bough]

probably that's the case lmao

[teal carbon]

Give me a minute

[crystal spruce]

This game goes me way back to the retro era. Heretic!

[static socket]

C'mon man

[crystal spruce]

🤘

[static socket]

Lmao it'll never stop

[steady bough]

it doesn't say it's new blood's heretic directly

[crystal spruce]

lmao

I mean the game.

"Heretic".

A retro one.

[teal carbon]

AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.40 GHz

[static socket]

Yes we know please stop saying heretic

[teal carbon]

And 12 gigs ram

[crystal spruce]

XD

[static socket]

You should be able to run it @teal carbon

[night ginkgo]

AMD APU I can't guarantee it will run well

[solid ridge]

@static socket just admid it's inspired by heretic

[steady bough]

iGPU?

[static socket]

He said laptop earlier so I assume

[plucky isle]

Oh good morning Leon

[night ginkgo]

ironically AE runs fine on a surface pro3 tablet

morning

[static socket]

Wakey wakey Leon rise and shine for Amid evil day!!

[teal carbon]

This is all in a desktop with great cooling

[night ginkgo]

like mentioned earlier

if it runs fortnite it will run AE

[teal carbon]

Okay

[plucky isle]

anyway how's ur amid evil life

[teal carbon]

Thanks

[night ginkgo]

👍

[steady bough]

i mean fortnite is a bad benchmark

[night ginkgo]

anyway how's ur amid evil life girthy

[plucky isle]

girthy man uhahaha

[night ginkgo]

yeah but also it's a free game and does work on low spec pcs

[steady bough]

it does but it runs like SHIT

[static socket]

Niki do u have the game yet

[steady bough]

there more well optimized ue4 games than that

[night ginkgo]

they've optimized the hell out of it, I've seen it run pretty well on shitty PC's

[static socket]

Also AE is the only game I can't stream it freaks tf out when I do

[night ginkgo]

it is literally the most popular video game in the world

[gloomy pike]

btw the game is great, thanks for working on it

[steady bough]

but idk really, last time i've played it was about a year ago

[plucky isle]

friendly reminder

[gloomy pike]

i wish you kept the original lore descriptions

[plucky isle]

AND TELEPORT DUDES IN DA CODEX

[gloomy pike]

much funnier

[night ginkgo]

claws of evil

[real rose]

Saw I could get it even more discounted with the bundle but Im not gonna pass on that soundtrack

[night ginkgo]

[plucky isle]

Hey Leon, could ya pls check the soul bar bug? Sometimes Soul Mode can be activated when it is not full, so it's toooo easy to get it

not sure of the certain conditions of it

[signal quartz]

I can't find soundtrack dlc...

I already purchased the base game so need to purchase soundtrack dlc separately...

[real rose]

Yeah I was gonna do that

[hallow pond]

Just wanted to say I finally bought AMID EVIL

Downloading it now

[night ginkgo]

Apparently the soundtrack seperate DLC page is coming

[real rose]

But I wanted to pay the price

[night ginkgo]

something happened in the back end will be an hour or so

[signal quartz]

Oh Leon dude, good boi!

[gentle zealot]

https://andrewhulshult.bandcamp.com/album/amid-evil-original-game-soundtrack

[woeful pagoda]

Is there any way to improve the fps?

i have a very good pc but i want to play amid evil at 144fps all the time, but seems imposible, just like in dusk 😦

[tall temple]

try resolution scale. set it down a notch or two

[woeful pagoda]

uuuhhhh...

i cannot remap buttons

and i cant go to steam overlay

playing the game on administrator mode seems to improve the fps alot

[tall temple]

try reloading to get keybinds to work. if not, verify game files.

[woeful pagoda]

done

the game cant remap F1, F2 and F3

for some reason

[fierce briar]

congratulations on the release of the game guys! ❤ question: is it uncapped framerates?

[topaz stump]

yes

[frosty drift]

absolutely

[vagrant plover]

:O!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frosty drift]

absolute 💩

[static socket]

dusk dude fucking shoots the champion

[misty owl]

I'd watch that movie

[vagrant plover]

https://tenor.com/view/objection-court-judge-object-lol-gif-4833328

[tall temple]

AE looking good in 32:9

[misty owl]

There's 32:9 now?

[static socket]

hot 😩 👌

[gentle zealot]

thought it's always had it

[tall temple]

32:9 is a thing but it leans on the exotic side of ultrawide. only a couple monitors out there

[vagrant plover]

looks awesome

[static socket]

you look awful smh brush ur teeth

[vagrant plover]

lmaoooo

[glass glade]

just finished my stream, game is a blast 👌

[topaz stump]

[glass glade]

Kept forgetting to save and getting set back a bunch but didn't even care cause it was so much fun to kill shit

[topaz stump]

[static socket]

why dont you like the game? 😦 youll hurt leons feelings

listen. i can hear him crying rn

rude

[crystal shuttle]

i already have dusk and the bundle is cheaper for me than amid evil alone

cool

[tall temple]

hi new troll account

[crystal shuttle]

what language are you speaking

[static socket]

i think he's trying to communicate

[woeful pagoda]

rip

bitch

[static socket]

cya

[woeful pagoda]

why i cant get 144fps all the time in amid evil WHYYYYYYYYYY

[topaz stump]

What are your specs?

[plucky isle]

700 fps support when

[woeful pagoda]

gtx1080

i7 3820

[topaz stump]

ram?

[woeful pagoda]

3,80OC

16

[topaz stump]

Should easily be able to hit 144.

[woeful pagoda]

im having the same problem in dusk

and other people too

[topaz stump]

That may be all on your end.

[woeful pagoda]

so is the game engine

[topaz stump]

DUSK and AE are on completely different engines

[static socket]

bruh running ae uncapped frames makes my pc super loud

[tall temple]

yeah i hit 200 on a 1980ti at 3840x1080
maybe check your drivers

[topaz stump]

DUSK is Unity, AE is Unreal

[frosty drift]

yep drivers are the most likely culprit

i get a stable 200 in AE and 300 in dusk

[woeful pagoda]

I have the most recent drivers 😦

[tall temple]

theres something else config related at play there then

i even have a weaker processor

[static socket]

yeah i can get 200fps with relative ease

[glass glade]

yeah i have a weaker processor and gpu than you and get higher fps

[frosty drift]

could be heat related

[woeful pagoda]

i get 200 fps almost all the time, but in some areas the fps drop to 100 or 60 fps

[vagrant plover]

Do you use Gamebar on Windows 10?

[woeful pagoda]

no

[static socket]

hmm boot up the game and send pics of ur temps

[frosty drift]

yeah i'd do a quick thermal check to rule out throttling as a possible culprit

[woeful pagoda]

i dont know how to do that

[static socket]

very possible your thermal paste could be drying up

download HWMonitor

that reminds me i gotta repaste my cpu its been at least 4 years since i slapped it on

[frosty drift]

yep, grab HWmonitor, leave it running and hop in game for a bit

[woeful pagoda]

I do not think it's the thermal paste because I put it recently in my processor

[frosty drift]

it will record your average and top thermals

[static socket]

you couldve done it wrong

[frosty drift]

https://cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

[static socket]

but its unlikely, do you have your GPU in the right x16 slot?

[woeful pagoda]

yea

[static socket]

if you have it in the wrong slot it'll throtle the piss out of it

[frosty drift]

oh ye that's a fair point

[static socket]

is your video cable plugged into the GPU or the motherboard?

[woeful pagoda]

yup

display port

[static socket]

hmmmmm

[woeful pagoda]

my pc is so strange

i dont know whats wrong

[static socket]

with those specs u should easily get a few hundred fps out of ae

[topaz stump]

You may have to reset windows

[real rose]

Is the soundtrack still missing from the game ?

[static socket]

no?

[woeful pagoda]

i reset windows recently

lul

[real rose]

I cant seem to find it in the root folder

[woeful pagoda]

steam, library, music

try that

[static socket]

ah, the ingame tracks are packed in the game. you need to get the soundtrack on bandcamp, the steam store, or spotify

[frosty drift]

the OST requires ownership of the warrior edition

[real rose]

Yeah I bought that, I was just used to the whole it being in the game folder

my bad

[frosty drift]

oh, if you did then that's exactly where you'll find it

main AE install directory \DLC\

make sure the soundtrack is actually installed too

[static socket]

ill buy the soundtrack when you get a damn vinyl pressing of it 😠

[frosty drift]

hehe

[real rose]

Thats weird

its not even showing up that I have the dlc

[frosty drift]

we've got some seriously cool physical merch in the works

stay tuned

[static socket]

😮

dusk plushies??

[real rose]

I bought the Warrior edition

[crystal shuttle]

if it isn't and you indeed bought the warrior edition then that's beyond our hands and will require assistance from valve to fix

[real rose]

just says AMID EVIL - Warrior Edition

[static socket]

@real rose check your steam downloads and ensure its downloaded

[frosty drift]

could you drop a screenshot by any chance (block out any personal information you don't want to share ofc)

[real rose]

Yeah nothing listed thats not already installed

[stuck crescent]

is it possible to upgrade to the Warrior Edition?

[frosty drift]

it will be soon

[real rose]

I could pm you the paypal receipt and the steam receipt if you like @frosty drift

[frosty drift]

we can't add upgrades ourselves. that needs to be done by valve

[night ginkgo]

there's something weird going on with the DLC we're trying to set it up RN

will be probably 1/2 hour to an hour from now it should all work

[static socket]

ill probably grab warrior edition upgrade + dusk's intruder upgrade when its fixed

[frosty drift]

@real rose we can't really do much from our side. i'm mostly just asking to make sure you did indeed purchase the correct edition before directing you to steam support

[night ginkgo]

valve is weird wanting screenshots and stuff for the soundtrack

[static socket]

send them pics of waveforms

[frosty drift]

oh, well then there's your answer

standby for a bit heh

[stuck crescent]

cheers Avain!

[real rose]

You're good man, I understand

[frosty drift]

👍

@night ginkgo mind doing a ping after the DLC thing gets sorted out?

[woeful pagoda]

i downloaded the program @frosty drift @static socket what should i do now?

[static socket]

run it and play the game

while youre playing the game just check the temperatures

[frosty drift]

just run it and start playing until you get those frame drops again

[static socket]

^

[frosty drift]

if you're unsure about the temps drop us a screenshot here

[woeful pagoda]

ok

[stuck crescent]

Fuck it, bought the Warrior Edition on GOG

good work guys! Great games!

[tall temple]

yeah those are fine

you mentioned you get 200 almost all the time
how often does the dip happen?

is this like 1% lows you're chasing after?

[woeful pagoda]

you mean framedrops?

[hallow pond]

Is it possible to display frame rate

[vivid flame]

PP HARD

[tall temple]

yes

[woeful pagoda]

i dont have frame drops

just in some areas i have low fps

[hallow pond]

How

[tall temple]

some areas are more intense on hardware than others

i thought this was a uniform problem across the whole game

[hallow pond]

Lol I have to run everything on low

[woeful pagoda]

but is it normal to have less than 144fps in some areas with a gtx1080 and an i73820?

[topaz stump]

You also have an obscure as fuck i7

[tall temple]

in busy areas with lots of particle effects, yes

[topaz stump]

Which isnt on par to normal i7s

[woeful pagoda]

problem solved

thx

[topaz stump]

?

[plucky isle]

the most demanding setting is Shadows, setting it to "epic" may cause OMFG fps drops

[topaz stump]

Im just trying to figure out what could be the problem

[meager forge]

i didn't know i7s came in below 4000 series

[tall temple]

oh yeah. what he had was a 3rd gen

[hallow pond]

Where do I show frameratws

[tall temple]

use steam overlay

[meager forge]

use steam's builtin framerate thing

[tall temple]

or shadow play

[woeful pagoda]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1776208284 epic settings 120 fps

[meager forge]

steam>settings>in-game>show fps counter

[woeful pagoda]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1776208340 low settings 288 fps

[tall temple]

sounds about right

[hallow pond]

Lol I’m getting 17 FPS

[topaz stump]

@hallow pond Specs?

[vivid flame]

im with 60 -30

[hallow pond]

An 8 year old laptop

Mfw I can’t enter a custom resolution

[static socket]

can u run fortnite

[hallow pond]

It won’t let me click the custom resolutions

Idk

[tall temple]

use resolution scale

does the same thing

[hallow pond]

It can run FEAR 2, Fall of Cybertron

[tall temple]

dial it down to either the fps gets better or its too blurry to see

[static socket]

ooo fall of cybertron is good

[hallow pond]

For me, resolution scale reduces resolution, but doesn’t shrink the window

[random needle]

Just found @dire briar's message

[topaz stump]

Please dont ping Dave

[static socket]

well maybe dave shouldnt ping me 😠

[tall temple]

why do you want the window to be smaller?

seems counter inntuitive

[hallow pond]

Smaller window = higher FPS

[tall temple]

nah the res scale overrides that

[hallow pond]

Yes, but it looks ass

[night ginkgo]

you can't change res in borderless

you need to be in windowed mode or full screen

[hallow pond]

I’m windowed

[tall temple]

i recommend full screen. running in windowed might actually be harming performance in this instance

[hallow pond]

Or maybe I should get a non shit computer

[woeful pagoda]

whats your settings in amid evil @tall temple ?

[tall temple]

just the epic preset

[woeful pagoda]

and you run the game at 144fps all the time? whats your specs

[tall temple]

ryzen 2700x
1080ti
32gb ram
game installed on a m.2 drive

[woeful pagoda]

lol

i want a m.2

but my motherboard cant handle it

😦

[dark granite]

lets see what fps i get in that spot

actually thats a low spike

weird

well i average 245

@1440p everything max

[woeful pagoda]

how many fps are u getting there

?

[dark granite]

245

well the screenshot is 227

it just spiked down a bit

[woeful pagoda]

why im getting 122 fps there 😦

[dark granite]

what resolution are you playing at

[lapis elm]

just look at the sky or the floor all the time

[woeful pagoda]

1080p

[dark granite]

in general, the gateway has quite a lot of stuff going on, try going in a level, youll likely get solid 144

[static socket]

the gateway is 90% portal entities so

[sonic compass]

im gonna really dive into amid evil and dusk tomorrow

since my mom will be out of the house and wont be able to bother

me

[lilac copper]

Amid Evil best brushporn

[stuck crescent]

I'm actually loving AE's ost more than DUSK's

[frosty drift]

the AE ost is a bit more varied genre wise

whereas dusk is just metal

[stuck crescent]

I love metal, but maybe I'm getting a bit old lol

[frosty drift]

metal's fine but variety is always good 👍

[stuck crescent]

true that and it's really good to hear how dynamic Hulshult can be

there's a good reason he's getting a lot of work

[plucky isle]

Leon what the fuck lmao

why pills reflections

[lilac copper]

wtf are those the reflections of those crescent projectiles?

[plucky isle]

Yep

[lilac copper]

[static socket]

oof must be a recent thing i remember them reflecting correctly

[lilac copper]

yea I havent seen that either

[static socket]

the trails never reflected i dont think tho

[lilac copper]

thats still pretty stupid lol

[static socket]

ping leon and complain >:)

[lilac copper]

was it bad chinese that caused this?

[glass glade]

not 1.0 worthy, theres reflections in the projectiles. roll it all back. refund everyone

[lilac copper]

DAVE! GIMME BACK MY WALLET!

[knotty imp]

I knew there was going to be a discount on AE at launch but I bought the game anyways 2 days before

[lilac copper]

sucker

[glass glade]

I debating on buying it 2 hours before so I could play it this morning

[lilac copper]

you paid more for pill reflections

[static socket]

you paid for amid evil 3

[glass glade]

who paid for 2?

[static socket]

leon's soul 😢

[lapis elm]

amid 3vil

[plucky isle]

Yeah happens on 100% res scale too

@night ginkgo I don't wanna take ur shitty drug pills

[woeful pagoda]

yeah that definitely didn't happen pre-1.0

@night ginkgo pills here

[lapis elm]

GRABBIN PILLS

[plucky isle]

Too many pills

[lilac copper]

leonpilled

[plucky isle]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[stuck crescent]

[snow sierra]

[lapis elm]

Get pills against my orders

amid evil 2: not hexen you idiots

[cinder mist]

those pills are going to disappear soon, take em wile you got em

[plucky isle]

already high af

[lilac copper]

petition to make pill reflections an option

also dr "marlo" alternative model for moon guardian

[plucky isle]

oh we got new emote

[static socket]

[glad agate]

[night ginkgo]

those are quaaludes

actually that pill thing has been there for about a year

no-one noticed till now

[plucky isle]

really? I can swear I haven't seen them

[static socket]

i swear it wasnt there when i played ep1

id notice shit like that

[dark granite]

yeah i tested a build that was at least 6 months old and it had them

[plucky isle]

lol

[dark granite]

at least since october of last year

[night ginkgo]

^

yepppp

[plucky isle]

Leon took so much drug shit to make AE so it started to spill outta your monitors

[dark granite]

im just shocked we never noticed

like NOBODY did

[static socket]

oh jeez

im ashamed in myself

how could i not have noticed

[lilac copper]

I'm a bit surprised too

[plucky isle]

each of us was in a state of drug delirium

[glass glade]

Is there any way to get a speed boost with movement tech in this game or is the fastest way to go in a straight line just walking?

[plucky isle]

Sometimes the fastest way is to rocketjump

SOMEWHERE

[glass glade]

but in terms of normal movement just walking is the fastest then?

[plucky isle]

I guess it is

There's no stuff like straferun or something

[stuck crescent]

nothing like blowing up a planet for that extra height

good shit

[dreamy coral]

nothing like killing billions just to give you some kind of faster way to move

[stuck crescent]

feels good man

[lapis hound]

They were in the way

[static socket]

its only 3.6 rontgen

[tall temple]

not great but not terrible

[lapis elm]

get him to the domain of the sentinels

he's delusional

[snow sierra]

ok whos the lead person on amid evil

<@&249012011751440397> this game good

[glass glade]

did... did you just ask the devs if their own game was good

[snow sierra]

no i know its good i just bought it

[glass glade]

oh lol

[snow sierra]

i mean to tell them its good

good job

[stuck crescent]

great game, very atmospheric

[dreamy coral]

pretty good soundtrack as well

[stuck crescent]

boomers unite

soundtrack is top quality

[snow sierra]

i cant read anything in it cus the font but i dont care amazing everything

[dreamy coral]

Andrew Hulshult is just indie Mick Gordon

[gentle zealot]

naw m8

mick is AAA andrew

[dreamy coral]

that too

[stuck crescent]

lel, true dat

[craggy violet]

y'all better pray ion maiden don't come out this year so AE takes GOTY

[stuck crescent]

Andrew's got a lot more coming up than Mick as well iirc

[dreamy coral]

isn’t it coming out this year though?

[craggy violet]

"yes"

[fresh plume]

andrew hulshult is mick gordon but consistent

fight me

[craggy violet]

they said Q2 2019 and that's passed

[fresh plume]

err

p sure we're still in q2

at the tail end but still in it

[craggy violet]

give or take a few days

[stuck crescent]

I prefer Hulshult over Gordon

[craggy violet]

they ain't nightdive, so doubt they'll announce release at launch

[fresh plume]

wait what does this have to do with amid evil

[dreamy coral]

this is general 3

what are you talking about

[fresh plume]

boi

[craggy violet]

amid evil goty

[dreamy coral]

si

[lethal elk]

dat name

[craggy violet]

ion maiden only true competitor

[lethal elk]

Amid evil 2 when?

[dreamy coral]

when half life 3 comes out

[vivid flame]

when new game

[glass glade]

whats the trick to those fire breathing face fucks

[dreamy coral]

shoot him until he dies

[glass glade]

3 of them just spawned and took 120 of my health >:(

[lethal elk]

Blast them with planets

[paper iris]

fuck you

[glass glade]

no u

[paper iris]

yes

[dreamy coral]

remember, killing any enemy in a FPS game boils down to “shoot it until it dies”

[glass glade]

well yeah but using the sword didn't cut it, was hitting them with every shot but they took way too long to die

[lethal elk]

The sword is the worse weapon for them

The mace kills them in two shots tho

in hard

[dreamy coral]

yeah use the spiky boi

[glass glade]

thanks for an actual answer jedd <3

[lethal elk]

Not sure in evil difficulty tho

np

[craggy violet]

the alert sound for crystal masters sounds like, "breathe, stillborn."

damn, i hate to be the one to find all the bugs but if i use mousewheel to switch weapons, about every other time it goes in the opposite direction. both up and down.

i thought it was my mouse (because i was at work) but it's doing the same on mine at home as well. different mice.

[glass glade]

https://youtu.be/hiXPQH63nec has this been fixed? Would be a shame to have to narrow my fov just to speedrun the game

[night ginkgo]

can't remember

it will be fixed when we're esports ready

[glass glade]

lol

[static socket]

itll be patched in the battle royale update

[solid ridge]

Gogs twitch channel is streaming the game btw

[night ginkgo]

noice

[static socket]

amid famous

[glass glade]

oh my.... ive been playing this game for hours and i just now realized that you walk by default

[static socket]

wait what? no it should be autorun

[glass glade]

ive been walking everywhere this whole time lmao

[static socket]

have i been walking everywhere this whole time too??

[glass glade]

hold shift and find out

[last lintel]

has anyone in here bought the warrior edition on steam today?

[night ginkgo]

^

[cinder mist]

you might have hit caps lock by accident @glass glade

[static socket]

pretty sure @real rose bought warrior edition but he was having issues getting the soundtrack dlc to show

[signal quartz]

I boycott NB until the soundtrack dlc of Amid Evil is available to purchase. 😗

I already have da base game!

BOO BOO GAH GAH.

[night ginkgo]

it's coming

waiting for Valve

ie waiting for god

[signal quartz]

Yeap Gaben is god...I know...

[keen wharf]

Hey guys

[glass glade]

is there any way to quick restart a level like in dusk?

can't find a hotkey that does it

[keen wharf]

I have a question about Amid Evil's FOV.

[static socket]

just ask the question! dont leave us in anticipation

[keen wharf]

how is it calculated?

[delicate cedar]

with calculations

nah, but seriously, i have no idea

[keen wharf]

I mean is it vertical because setting it to 90 gives it a fisheye affect.

[delicate cedar]

i guess?

[keen wharf]

does new blood have a website or anything

or an email address

[sturdy crystal]

i feel like it must be vert

[night ginkgo]

you can ask me

right here

FOV is H+

[keen wharf]

what does H+ mean?

[night ginkgo]

horizontal plus

so the wider your screen the more stuff you can see

[knotty imp]

140 fov or go home

[keen wharf]

well normally the wider the screen the more you have to increase the FOV to see the more.

[glass glade]

since you're a dev I'm assuming you'd know, is there any way to quick restart a level? With like a hotkey or something similar to how dusk does it

[night ginkgo]

aesplode cheat will kill you

then there's a restart level option

well normally the wider the screen the more you have to increase the FOV to see the more.

in most games - yes

in AE no

this is standard FOV

[keen wharf]

oh so h+ means it increase the FOV along with the aspect ratio?

it games like the original unreal tournament everything was done manually so if you went from 4:3 to 16:9 you'd have to type fov 105 to get the same prospective as 90 @ 4:3

[signal quartz]

@night ginkgo I forgot to say this: congratulations on the official release...but you still must keep working...you need a hug.

[static socket]

does anyone know where the staff is in the bright pass (e4m1)

[signal quartz]

You mean secret?

[static socket]

lol no i mean the staff im stupid. i backtracked and found it i mustve walked right past it

its hard playing this game in mirrored mode you know

[signal quartz]

D:

[crystal spruce]

Why is it so hard? I've never used mirrored mode so I wouldn't know....

[static socket]

welcome to my life

normal for comparison

[signal quartz]

...what?

[static socket]

only true chads play with mirrored mode on

[dreamy coral]

big confused

[copper tundra]

DuaauD WielleiW

[signal quartz]

I...don't understand...

[night ginkgo]

the staff is up by the gate swtch

up the ramp and on the left in the pic

[static socket]

yeah i walked right past it the first time lol

dude this is so disorienting

[signal quartz]

I want to know how to turn on mirror mode!

[static socket]

you hear an enemy and flip around like "omg where" and its like AAAHH

type aediidjiil

[crystal spruce]

Also type AEPISS for a true unwinnable scenario

This is DooⱭ all over again isn't it?

[dreamy coral]

WooD

[static socket]

what does aepiss do

[crystal spruce]

It makes your life hell

[signal quartz]

Ty, now I'm playing the game with mirror mode on...what...the...

[static socket]

this is so disornenting i want to puke

mirrored mode i mean

aepiss is totally playable

[crystal spruce]

Amid Evil's mirrored mode makes Dusk's look completely normal by comparison.

[signal quartz]

I went back to normal mode, ummmmmm.

[static socket]

dude i have literally no idea where i am

ive played episode 4 at least 5 times but i have no idea where i am with mirrored mode on

[crystal spruce]

That's never a good thing....

[gentle zealot]

it's definitely a surreal experience

[static socket]

duude

[gentle zealot]

i think i tried that on ep6

[static socket]

omg i would die

ill play ep6 with aepiss

[gentle zealot]

i was like hhhhhhhh where am i going

doooon't fall

[static socket]

the whispers edge is a godsend with mirrored mode

dude im gonna cry lol

[crystal spruce]

whats the mace weapon called, the one that shoots spikes

[static socket]

star of torment

[potent hatch]

one of the best weps

[static socket]

second only to the whisper's edge of course

[crystal spruce]

thx

[potent hatch]

yea, whisper's edge is great especially for hordes

[crystal spruce]

i just got this game and i LOVE it

[lapis elm]

the whisper's hedge, not so much

[glass glade]

does posting speedruns break rule #13? I'm not really sure where to draw the line

either way i posted a quick little speedrun in streamers den if anyone wants to see it

[night ginkgo]

nah go ahead

[glass glade]

ah okay, I won't doublepost it but I'll post them here from now on so I don't fill up streamers den

[crystal spruce]

Hey Leon

Add a skin for the Azure Orb where it becomes Dopefish

[jaunty stirrup]

amid evil is sick congratulations everybody who worked on it

[night ginkgo]

thanks m8!

[crystal shuttle]

I bought the game adn i am lost at the fkcuing first level h elp i've been doing thos for an hour

hard

please

help

[crystal spruce]

Go left, then right, then open the door

[crystal shuttle]

i killed 77/80 enemies if that puts my progress in perspective

i have no idea where to go

[knotty imp]

did you push all the buttons?

[crystal shuttle]

what buttons

[knotty imp]

in the final room

[crystal shuttle]

i dont see a button there

there is this big circle room that has an exit which just loops back into that room

and that's as far as i got

[crystal spruce]

There's a red switch

You shoot it to lower a platform

[crystal shuttle]

wha

where is it?

[crystal spruce]

https://youtu.be/MGGPu_ea8Ao

07:41

[crystal shuttle]

lemme see

wait

that's not where i am

let me rewind it

a bit

[crystal spruce]

Actually :48 is the exit switch

[crystal shuttle]

omg i found the thing at 7:41

sorry

7:14

i thought it was a god damn health bubble :/

oh well

thanks

[static socket]

Haha yeah the shootable buttons could be a little more obvious

Maybe a text that says "shoot the red button dumbass"

Maybe there is a text but I forgot about it

[crystal spruce]

There's a text for the very first red switch

[static socket]

Ah right

Just checked in the video yep

[crystal spruce]

Maybe if the push button was a skull, you'd subconsciously want to attack it

[static socket]

Yeah or maybe a color other than red?

But Quake's shootable buttons were red so best not to change it

[night ginkgo]

There's a red shooty switch opposite the circle room

oof discord bugging out

[regal widget]

The episodes after the first two are all roughly the same difficulty or is there a "correct" order?

I opened the codex one level into the Arcane Expanse and noticed it's the seventh entry

[night ginkgo]

yeah I recommend following the codex order

however I don't find any one particular episode more difficult than another (biased opinion here lmao)

[cinder mist]

^

each episode has a learning curve of its own though

[static socket]

I like how you don't have to play them in order

[night ginkgo]

originally you could play the first two eps in either order

blame dave for that not happening

[static socket]

Wait whaaaat when was that changed

[knotty imp]

I didn't really mind any episode ||except the foundry, fuck the foundry, for the enemies, not the puzzles||

[crystal shuttle]

love the game so far, even tho i'm a dumbo
i hope i'm not missing out on anything by playing this on warrior mode

[night ginkgo]

play it on warrior for the 2nd playthrough

[knotty imp]

I love fps platforming though nonironically

[regal widget]

Ah well, might as well finish the Expanse now that I already started it

Loving the game so far

[night ginkgo]

yeah I love FPS platforming too

[knotty imp]

big fan of any game that adds ample fps platforming

[night ginkgo]

mirrors edge, titanfall, jedi knight

love em

[crystal shuttle]

minecraft

[night ginkgo]

hahaha

[knotty imp]

I used to spend alot of my time in HL1 custom maps

the platforming ones

[static socket]

Im 50/50 on fps platforming

[regal widget]

(I'll admit to the game not quite clicking for me during early access but it did now)

[night ginkgo]

the surfing ones?

[knotty imp]

nah

[static socket]

If AE didn't have really satisfying movement I would hate the platforming

[knotty imp]

more just testing your ability to jump impossibly thin surfaces

[night ginkgo]

you got tons of air control in AE

[static socket]

Yes I love it

[night ginkgo]

hey I also like 'the chasm' from doom 2

which is unpopular opinion

[static socket]

Though I have no issue with xen in hl1 for example

When ppl parade around and will defend the fact that they hate it and think it's terrible

[knotty imp]

I was sick at looking at science corridors

for the past ten hours

so xen is a nice change of pace

[static socket]

I don't mind fps platforming if the movement is good! If the movement is shit, however... Looking at you, system shock 2

the body of the many 🤢

[crystal shuttle]

xen was great, and that's coming from someone who only properly finished half-life 2 days ago

[static socket]

platforming in hl2 is terrible

[knotty imp]

I liked platforming in HL2

[static socket]

you should play halfquake if you like fps platforming

[knotty imp]

then again I grew up on Source Engine

so I kinda know that engine ins and outs

[static socket]

so did i and i think platforming in hl2 is terrible lol

[crystal shuttle]

are there any qurks to AE movement like strafejumping in dusk?

quirks*

[knotty imp]

seems like you move at full speed whether running or jumping

[static socket]

@knotty imp if you like fps platforming you should check out this. literally the best hl1 mod https://store.steampowered.com/app/644320/Halfquake_Trilogy/

[static socket]

ayy im not the only sadist here

[knotty imp]

shame I never played anything other than HL1 as a kid

and HL2

otherwise Amid Evil would have gotten nostalgia points from me but as it stands I still really liked Amid Evil overall

[static socket]

i didnt really get into the retro shooter craze until a few years ago

i had never played quake before 2017 and now its literally my favorite fps of all time

i played nothing but half-life for way, way too long

[knotty imp]

DUSK and AE made me fall in love with retro shooters again

I'm normally a bitchass who plays easy or normal but a friend convinced me to try max(Not duskmare) difficulty on both, I expected max difficulty to be some bullshit difficulty

but actually felt really well designed
