frosty drift
Nah not yet
gaunt cloak
I uh....I think I broke it.
The screen froze up, I had to alt-f4 and end the process from task manager
and now it won't start
night ginkgo
try restarting your pc
gaunt cloak
oop, just had to wait a bit
by the way, is there any way to go directly back to the end sequence area?
or do I have to do the final boss again?
it's looking like it, though I think I know how to fast track that
||nope, looks like I can't make the prophecy come true myself. darn.||
manic dragon
hey can somebody tell me what is happening - if i set framerate above 60, the animations gets slower and choppy
no matter of v-sync
75cap/unlimited
60cap
this is known issue which can be solved or should i stick to 60 frames limit
i dont see it mentioned in steam forums nor pcgamingwiki
vestal palm
known and stick to 60 or 120

Any plans to bring Amid Evil and Dusk to nintendo Switch?
crystal spruce
Dusk is coming don't know about amid evil
elder cypress
Woo
tardy cove
Amid Evil is also coming to Switch
elder cypress
Fuck yeah
queen leaf
co-op isn't planned atm
queen leaf
Would be a bit of work, implementing networking and such
crystal spruce
What engine did the guys use or did they build her
devout olive

crystal spruce
ahhh
queen leaf
"or did they build her" pardon?!
crystal spruce
Well it's not uncommon for people to write from scratch
queen leaf
ooh that's what you mean sorry
crystal spruce
but honestly enjoying this.
idk why.. at times i felt like i was in heretic or hexen
epic
manic dragon
this game is beautiful visual show
colourful
insane geometry
The Sacred Path is 👌
and Voltride/Star of Torment ohmy
elder cypress
Yeah the game is effin gorgeous in a way that is the total opposite of what most modern shooters do. Very reminiscent of the type of fantasy stuff you'd see in the 90's
It's weird but in a lot of the levels, it feels realistic but not at the same time.
And I love that
I didn't realize how much I've missed ethereal level designs
It's a dream-like experience with the lack of fall damage, the abstract designs and the weaponry feeling like nothing I've ever played before
rocky patrol
dreamlike level design is such a great quality to have, it gives games a whole different sort of immersion. i'm really looking forward to finally playing this once it's on mac
elder cypress
It literally feels like being in a different reality
rocky patrol
i’m so glad that kind of level design is being brought back
elder cypress
Same
crystal spruce
Stunning.
rocky patrol
i only just this morning realized the obvious pun in "amid evil". fantastic
elder cypress
Hehe
Uhm, how do I get in lol
This has been bugging me for a solid 10 minutes now
old kelp
amid evil multiplayer pls
elder cypress
nvm, found the switch
rugged glacier
Amid evil co-op?
gaunt cloak
that'd be cool
harsh yacht
Indeed net code might be a lot of work, but split screen might be feasible.
elder cypress
Local co-op on Switch would be perfect
gaunt cloak
so after playing through the whole thing in basically one sitting yesterday
I can say with certainty that this game rules
my only gripes are that the axe is a wee bit too slow, particularly when you're in a situation where you gotta swing like mad because enemies attack super fast, and that enemies get a little damage-spongy at times
hexed obsidian
USed to be a loooot slower
gaunt cloak
but overall like
the weapons are SUPER good, absolutely all of them get frequent use (except for the axe unfortunately) so gameplay is constantly varied
holy hell, a SLOWER axe? that sounds unusable
hexed obsidian
Also, it didn't pull enemies towards you
hexed obsidian
That was a fairly late change I believe? Like around when Ep5 or 6 came out?
gaunt cloak
Yeah, now the axe is a BEAST
using it on sacred path feels SO good against the vine bastards
just wish it did a bit more stun, maybe a bit of knockback so I can actually hit with it and not always have to trade hits
I'm thinking the sequel should so something akin to what hexen 2 did and give the melee a fuckton of different moves
make a melee-only run a viable and fun option
hexed obsidian
I think the axe is pretty balanced now imo, but I've also followed the game since it dropped into Early Access last year
gaunt cloak
yeah, I probably just need to git gud
but still, full movelist axe would be liiiiiiit
hexed obsidian
Yeah, also I might see the improvement rather than the balancing at this point, but 💁
And yeah, there were some ideas thrown around as to how an addon could look like
But it seems that if there's gonna be an additional episode, it won't be any time super soon. I believe it was Leon who said that they'd like to explore other ideas they have and additional content might be handed off to someone else in the NB family. Nothing is confirmed or set in stone at this point tho
gaunt cloak
Yeah, I was just going off the obvious sequel hooks at the end
on an unrelated note, are there breakable walls in this game?
oh, also, a block button with the axe woulda been nice
(I keep accidentally hitting the soul mode button)
or like, maybe let the axe kill projectiles?
Iunno.
I'm just spitballin' ideas here
just seems like when you use the axe, you take a beating no matter what
also the variable fire rate in this game is uhhhhh
not sure I like that much
gaunt cloak
okay, there's at least one secret on astral m1 that I don't think you can get normally
gaunt cloak
sheesh, the secrets in this game are a good bit harder to find than dusk's
crystal spruce
Yeah, even I have trouble finding them, and that's impressive considering you just have to find them through looking and platforming. It's not like Dusk in that most secrets have to be activated or blown up.
gaunt cloak
the voltride makes for an oddly useful flashlight
augh, I forgot how much I didn't like e2
gaunt cloak
so uhhhh
<@&249012011751440397> You guys are aware of the hole in the level in Journeyman's Path, right?
start of the level, after you've raised the middle steps, there's a golden block that'll elevate you to the steps
drop behind where the elevator was, there's just....a hole
into the outside of the map
I thought it was a legit secret at first
Hmmmm.
gaunt cloak
Now I'm just wondering how the heck it got there.
wheat yarrow
That's the lore hole
cinder mist
its getting bigger
harsh yacht
Haha lore hole!
finite shuttle
haha imagine this game having lore
gaunt cloak
Also I think this game's managed to abend on me at least three different ways
the latest one appeared to close normally, but then 30 seconds later it throws a "stopped working" message
This game doesn't appreciate being played for very long periods of time.
crystal spruce
@gaunt cloak what system you running?
supple jay
a lore-y hole, if you will
gaunt cloak
I'm on a 2013 Alienware "gaming" craptop running win7.
I'm starting to think something's up, because from watching Civvie's gameplay footage, uh....
My weapons fluctuate in speed, Voltride takes a bajillion post-death hits to kill, I think something's....not working right.
gaunt cloak
Aaaand now all the episodes are un-completed!
The hell?
My game is just acting all sorts of weird
Okay, just had to enter and exit an episode to put my completion status back
<@&249012011751440397> This is bugging the hell out of me, are weapons supposed to have variable firerates, or is my system fucky?
dire briar
frosty drift
^ lock your fps to a value your pc can run without framedrops
gaunt cloak
OOF. That's rough. Good to know, though.
frosty drift
the weapon firerate issue is known, but it's an engine level issue so there's no easy way to fix it currently
frosty drift
you could also try bumping the resolution down instead
frosty drift
ah
gaunt cloak
This laptop is total garbaggio.
frosty drift
yeah understandable from a 6 year old laptop
gaming laptops only really got good in the last couple years
gaunt cloak
God, the things this engine issue did to the Voltride.
The poor, poor Voltride...
[Shudder]
(Not even exaggerating when I say it takes 6 or more shots after a kill to proc the overkill when FPS drops)
(It made chains IMPOSSIBLE)
frosty drift
Yeah, that bug's been frustrating for us to deal with too
gaunt cloak
...So, uh. Even at lowest settings with 30fps cap.
Ain't helping once things get serious because I'm dropping to a stanky 15 or so. Think it's time to round up those last 'cheevos and stop until I've got a better machine.
frosty drift
😦
gaunt cloak
Poverty life, man.
Ain't even the game's fault, I think this laptop is somehow regressing in capability.
Stuff that used to run fine is chugging now.
frosty drift
if you've clocked in less that two hours and feel like it you should be able to request a refund from steam support
gaunt cloak
Nah lmao I completed this thing and loved every minute of it
frosty drift
oooooooh
frosty drift
hope you'll be able to enjoy it at a smooth framerate soon 
gaunt cloak
Maybe by Christmas.
By the way, the Close Shave achievement isn't activating for some reason.
tardy cove
I feel ya man. I used to run this in über potato mode with shit framerate until I got a decent computer
gaunt cloak
The struggle is real
lethal elk
Honestly the worst thing about the game is that weapons are tied to frame rate otherwise the whole is really good like really good
tardy cove
Blame that on UE4
night ginkgo
There is some compensation for the frame rate, but it goes all weird sometimes. No idea why
winged ibex
Are the weapons Paper 2d based or are they their own system.
old kelp
Amud owel multyplaer plz
dark granite
yeah the way its tied to framerate isnt linear
seems like its probably some division/rounding error
winged ibex
Why does dividing by 0 work in UE4 but not on my calculator 
Scott/2 = Bathroom floor.

Blame Randy.

raven sedge
<@&249012011751440397> I just ran into a blocking bug on the first level of episode 2, Domain of the Sentinels. After grabbing the silver key and going into the room it unlocks and killing everything there, there i simply nowhere to go. Looked up a playthrough and turns out one of the walls are suppsoed to fold in to reveal a passage, that never happens to me. When i stand close to the silvber key door i can hear repetitive "swoosh-splat" noises, is there some enemy stuck behind a wall which didnt open up the way its intended or something?
restarting elvel and trying again now
and when trying again what seems like another severe bug i didnt notice last time. On the moving blocks you have to dodge to get to the silver key i take da,age from walking into the block which is moving away from me which doesnt seem to make much sense.
unborn aspen
I would suggest making this a post on the Steam forums as well.
That way someone it more likely to see the post and people can reference it in the future if they are having a similar issue.
vestal palm
the blocks are meant to do damage
raven sedge
Wait no, scratch the whole thing about the wall not opening up, im a dum dum and didnt find the hidden button to open the door. So i guess the feedback is that the button is difficult enough to find for me to assume it was a bug.
How the slowly moving stone surface are doing damage to me when i push into the one moving away from me is a headscratcher is all im saying, its punitive and unintuitive. Had they been on fire or something I would have seen it coming and not regarded it as a bug.
unborn aspen
Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down.
raven sedge
I am. My blood pressure is fine doctor, dont you worry.
unborn aspen
Sir, please restart the computer, sir.

So what's on the bug docket so far
or I guess the patch docket
we got uhhh
we got the Lore Hole, whatever the hell happened to that dude in e2m2, what else
we gotta start mailing bees to Randy's house until Epic fixes the UE4 framerate nonsense
my gut wants to tell me there's a memory leak somewhere because playing it for 8 hours on end makes it super unhappy
oh and like a dozen spelling errors in the codex
lethal elk
uh the flying mages that shoot eclipses will stop moving and shooting for some reason
lemme just post a video of dis

night ginkgo
I think that bug is in the backlog
gaunt cloak
alright, add it to the patch docket that already has it
and then when someone says it's listed twice, add it again
manic dragon
i didnt know theres a secret level
can some one can hint me how to access it
its just ||beat Evil on Evil difficulty||
or something else?

Reminder to put gravel in Randy's shoes at night until UE4's FPS bullshit is fixed
elder cypress
You mean someone hasn't already done this after his disastrous tweets?
tardy cove
I'm afraid to ask, but what has done Randy now?
gaunt cloak
Nothing too recently, it's just easy to blame him for everything.
Unless he did something while I wasn't looking.
elder cypress
Which to be fair is not unlikely
random needle
The next time you guys make a "Beat the level without killing anyone" achievment, MAKE SURE FRIENDLY FIRE DOESN'T COUNT AGAINST YOU!
I swear, EVERY time I get to the exit platform on the first level it's always 1/59 kills
Finally got it
gaunt cloak
Anybody else have issues getting Close Shave? I leave with less than 10 health but I don't get the achievement.
random needle
heh, I got it when I beat a level with 0 health
gaunt cloak
seems like UE4 just does math weird
still blows my shit backwards that this """gaming""" laptop can't even run consistently well at the EXTREMELY generous low settings this game has
never buying anything alienware ever again
random needle
Are you making sure the game's using your laptop's actual GPU?
(because the driver software that tells your games what GPU to use doesn't always work right and may mistakenly tell your iGPU to take over)
gaunt cloak
I....think I did? I'll double check.
Well, it said it was using integrated, let's see if changing it actually did something.
My success rate on this particular angle is a bit spotty.
That....seems to have fixed it? Granted, I think I'm still losing a little framerate here and there, but....
lethal elk
gaunt cloak
I am still getting these occasional graphical stutters.
Where the video will freeze for a split second
or I guess the whole game
...Nope, still got slow weapons
fug
it doesn't even look like the framerate's dropping much if at all, but I'm still getting variable weapon speed based on how much is being rendered
UE4 is just a biiiiiiiiitch
why do engine devs even allow this to happen anymore
hahaha I even did bottom res scale with chunky pixels and it's still choking on something
and capping framerate anywhere lower than 60 will actually handicap you, this is pure fucking comedy
Randy, what have you wrought
winged ibex
It's not UE4's fault it's Leon's weapon code that's at fault.
It's probably just a rounding error though.
night ginkgo
it's not
winged ibex
I probably worded that super wrong, your weapon code isn't bad Leon.
night ginkgo
it's very unusual because it waits x to display the next frame
winged ibex
Hmmm.
night ginkgo
so if the framerate is above 60 it shouldn't make any difference because it's time based not frame based
below 60 the code does checks and skips frames if needed
winged ibex
Paper 2D (Which I'm guessing is what the weapons use) does has some quirks.
gentle zealot
maybe it's having to switch between the two that ruins everything? 
night ginkgo
nah it's very strange
gentle zealot
weird
gaunt cloak
seems like something worth looking into, sounds like a potential pitfall for other games
night ginkgo
ehhh I mean I made this thing
I just don't know why it's happening, it shouldn't technically
plucky isle
Cuz u r lame
night ginkgo
I just tried bypassing the entire function and it still happens
gaunt cloak
wwwwwwwhat
gaunt cloak
that's worth a confused Tim Allen noise
night ginkgo
yep
gentle zealot
hm
i was gonna say something about prime numbers but if it doesn't do it on any others, that's prolly not it
or only certain ones
night ginkgo
nah it's like a scale
rather than specific numbers
I'll take another in depth look some time
lapis elm
"it shouldn't technically"
^ the number of times i've said that staring at code
gaunt cloak
basically all coding in a nutshell
gaunt cloak
but that don't mean it's a GOOD reason
night ginkgo
I might also just brute force and make it skip frames above 67 - 120 in a scale
gaunt cloak
I assume there's still nothing to be done for framerates below 60?
Because that's the problem I have, my dumb toaster laptop just can't hold a steady 60
or even just rendering too much?
It's honestly hard to tell at this point
seems like weapon slowdown just happens if you make the game get up off its ass
gaunt cloak
huh
because I get weapon slowdown even if it's capped at 60.
And capping it at rates lower than 60 slows down the weapons too
night ginkgo
it will speed up the weapons to match the framerate below 60
unless there's something weird going on with your PC

yea, of a different game, but the same exact error in all my UE4 games
I looked it up, other people have it too
night ginkgo
Tried updating graphics drivers?
cunning hull
yep, latest drivers for geforce gtx 1660TI
from what I learned on looking this up, apparently UE4 itself is having problems because some people are getting the error on the UE4 tools rather than games
night ginkgo
try this
in
steam\steamapps\common\Amid Evil\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us
there's a file called UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe
try installing that and see if it fixes it

steady sparrow
CD-Action
score from 1-100
seems totally legit
also last time I checked they were praising dusk so idk
dark granite
nah metacritic auto converts scores from 10 scales to 100 scales
Dusk does a decent job at recreating elements that were fun in Doom, Quake or Wolfenstein 3D, but as a whole it lacks a direction other than being a love letter to classic FPS games, a homage assembled out of components that do not always fit together well. [02/2019, p.42]
but hey, at least they really liked amid evil!
im glad they like one of them lol
steady sparrow
@dark granite tbh they start praising oldschool shit before it comes out and then when it comes out it almost never meets their expectations
sometimes they're right though COUGH strafe COUGHHHH
they didn't hear about Amid Evil until it came out surprisingly
dark granite
oh i see
they gave ae a great score so no complaints here
i only recognized it because its the worst review dusk ever got
not worst, lowest score
steady sparrow
CD-action's logic is like,
"don't look at the score itself, read the goddamn review and look at the pro and con lists"
oblique meadow
I think that makes sense tbh

The New Order review is the most infamous one irc

placid pendant
hey guys
kind of need help with something
amid evil wont go over 60 fps or will stay around it without using 100% of gpu
vsync is off
and fps is uncapped
tall temple
whats are your specs?
placid pendant
one sec
i made a post about this on steam it it was just "brushed off"
idk tho
let me get the link
thats my situation right there
tall temple
and you're certain you did what avain recommended?
because thats all i can think of
placid pendant
ya and even then most of the things he said to do i already did as my standard fixes
not sure what to do from here
tall temple
my only other idea is to ensure you're running in full screen (not borderless) and set your fps cap to what ever your refresh rate is
tall temple
those specs look vaguely familiar to my personal laptop and i run it in a similar way
placid pendant
ok just ran dusk on one of the later levels of E3 with fps capped at 60
fps dropped to around 40ish
that never happened before
did it once more on another level and its a consistent thing
taking a look at AMID EVIL now
manic dragon
You dont have any overlay turned on?
Like Geforce Experience
or running OBS in background
placid pendant
no
but im back from AMID EVIL and its the same story
@tall temple @manic dragon any ideas?
tall temple
its gotta be config related somehow and that could be a whole list of random things. what you have should just work.
as mentioned, my laptop is very similar to yours
manic dragon
i would check just to be sure if theres no replay functionality enabled in gpu drivers
placid pendant
yea i know no replay is running
tall temple
and for the hell of it, upgrade your video driver if you havent already
placid pendant
ya sad part is i already did that
im going to verify game files
rip nothing was changed
tall temple
not sure what else to try but im certain its config related. not specific to AE or dusk itself
plucky isle
Do you have vsync or framelimiter enabled in some other software? Like nvidia inspector etc
unborn aspen
What kind of hard drive is DUSK and AMID EVIL installed on?
placid pendant
ok for user nothing is influencing vsync or anything like that
also bones
let me look
ok its on a harddrive
unborn aspen
Yes but what kind? Solid state or conventional?
unborn aspen
No worries.
placid pendant
would moving it to ssd work
placid pendant
ok
unborn aspen
placid pendant
there
unborn aspen
Look for the disk the games are installed on.
placid pendant
ok
unborn aspen
What kind of usage are the disks getting?
placid pendant
right now or running the game?
placid pendant
0
unborn aspen
Okay. Now run the game, then Alt+Tab back to the Task Manager.
placid pendant
ok give me a sec
unborn aspen
I'm trying to rule out if it's the disk.
unborn aspen
What's the percentage of usage?
unborn aspen
Okay, so the disk seems fine.
Alright, next step, let's restart the computer then before starting any other programs than Steam run the game.
Before running the game, try and close anything that runs on startup as well.
unborn aspen
Okay, so the next thing I would look at is opening the Task Manager then going to the Performance tab, and looking at the CPU, GPU, etc. to see what is bottlenecking you.
Since this is persistent across DUSK and AMID EVIL, I suspect it has something to do with your system.
You're not running a custom version of Windows, are you?
vivid flame
It's not some of that laptops that use sometimes the intel gpu rigth?
placid pendant
Nothing is maxed
No I'm forcing you to be used
But cpu usage is the same as GPU usage
unborn aspen
Neither are maxed?
unborn aspen
Hmmm.

If you feel comfortable getting assistance from a random skele on the internet then please run this and send the link it generates back to me: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
placid pendant
Ok just one sec
Is it like a download or something?
Because if it's a download that might be painful for me
unborn aspen
It's a download. After it gets done running the test, it will open a link to their site with the results in your default browser.
It's a small download.
Very smol.
placid pendant
ill see if i can download it
because small for me is a big and a half
oh i know them
ya i know what this is
cool
placid pendant
to control my pc
unborn aspen
No! This is to benchmark your PC.
unborn aspen
I'm in no hurry, just ping me when you have the results and we'll go over them together.
unborn aspen
Alright, so two things: the memory is performing below average and the drive is a bit slow. I would suggest moving the game to your SSD and trying it there.
manic dragon
not sure why skele was asking for disk, that would only affect loading times and microfreezes during asset streaming
unborn aspen
You'd be surprised what having a conventional drive with maxed IO can do when playing games.
I just like to rule things out.
placid pendant
ok i move it to the ssd
but the hard drive never gave me problems with other games tho
is it that games like amid and dusk needs the super op hard drives
unborn aspen
I don't think so but best to rule it out.
manic dragon
nah im running both on regular Toshiba HDD
unborn aspen
I run mine off a conventional drive as well.
vivid flame
i run dusk and amid evil on a really old HDD
that wil lgoes 90%
but still playable
manic dragon
7200rpm HDDs arent a new thing but arent obselete at the same time
vivid flame
on a GT 430 so, it's really a problem here.
unborn aspen
5400 is good for stability and noise.
manic dragon
And nothing else
unborn aspen
I use them in NAS's.
placid pendant
nothing changed
unborn aspen
Interesting.
placid pendant
loading speeds to new levels are on crack now
unborn aspen
The only other thing I can think of is your memory or something else I'm either not aware of with your system or the games.
I'm escalating your ticket.
placid pendant
thank you
because nothing else is running but discord
and steam
in a majority of games that have much higher demand run fine
manic dragon
did you tried to turn off steam overlay
manic dragon
Cuz origin overlay sometimes messes with my performance, in past some ppl had issues with steam overlay
placid pendant
no no change

I just heard about this Discord. Any rumors about an Amid Evil expansion? (Amid Evil is the only reason I'm here. Real nice game)
lethal elk
Probably not
nocturne tapir
At least not at first, the devs need a break from all this evil iirc
One never knows for sure about the far future but basically don't count on it :v
On one hand, i desire more of this wonderful game, but on the other, i can fully relate to being exhausted with a project
(Maybe y'all should change dev name to Fatigable eh wot)
lusty mulch
just finished AE
damn it was good
next time i'm doing it on hard and then on evil
and i'll do the last 3 achievements i need later
i'll learn to appreciate it more when i play it again, i'm sure of it
just like what happened with DUSK
at first i didn't really like it, then i progressed in the game, and now i have played it 3- 4 times
lusty mulch
haha imma do it later, now i have L4D to play
plucky isle
heretic.
lusty mulch
so should i skip hard?
plucky isle
well Evil and Duskmare are waaay different
Evil is just more of a classic diff-scale thing
enemies are faster etc, no bullshit like oneshot death
plucky isle
actually yes
lusty mulch
ok, i'll find time for that

And when you feel ready, try Evil with Warrior mode (AKA Axe start every level)
plucky isle
and when you feel really ready, try AEDIIDJIIL
lusty mulch
is this some cheat code?
night ginkgo
it's a secret cheat code
lusty mulch
hmmmmmmmm
manic dragon
Hard is for first playthrough
lusty mulch
well shit i did it on medium
nocturne tapir
also don't forget to try AEPISS for extra hard mode :V

UNTIL AMID EVIL FONT UPDATE WOOOO
lone hatch
Amid Evil is my favorite romcom
tight rune
Hey, quick question for Amid Evil players
i come from DUSK and the movement there is crazy
is there a way to accelerate myself when i play Amid Evil?
I know this game takes a lot from Quake in the sense that enemies are more spongy and the combat is slower because of that
but i still feel a little slow when traversing the game itself
am i missing some knowledge thats making me go slower?
dark granite
you can use the planets to rocket jump1
also make sure you have run on
caps lock is toggle iirc
nocturne tapir
alas, bunnyhopping doesn't make you go as obscenely fast as in Dusk, the champion is too thicc a lad :v
but yes planet jumping
bonus points for being unfathomably metal
I DETONATE PLANETS AT MY FEET TO JUMP HIGHER
also axe soul mode in water
clearly the flight powerup should also let souled axe act like a jet engine
tight rune
Btw, im about to do a stream and try and beat the game in one sitting, what difficulty do you guys recommend for a first playthrough?
nocturne tapir
if you're reasonably well versed with FPS's you could probably take Hard with little issue
medium if you're not that confident in your FPS power, easy if it's literally the first FPS you've ever played and you only have one arm to play with
:V
tight rune
aright ty ^^
nocturne tapir
yer welcome
there is also one more difficulty if you can find it
but full honesty, wouldn't recommend that as a first playthrough if you're not a veteran FPS player
it's kinda bullshit sometimes but still pretty fair as far as nightmare difficulties go
but i mean if you ARE a veteran FPS player, absolutely go for it, it's a hectic challenge :V
tight rune
i know, i've gotten 2 levels deep in nightmare
to test out the game
what does it change exactly?
when i select difficulties they tell me the changes but on nightmare its says nothing
nocturne tapir
enemies are faster, possibly deal more damage and have a wee bit more health i think
also you get TINY amounts of soul juice
there might be more mooks than in Hard, i'm not sure though
the main thing is their speed and aggression though
common melee mooks basically turn into Flash and will eat your face in a heartbeat, it's somewhat less noticeable with ranged mooks but i think they also fire faster
tight rune
good to know
placid pendant
someone do me a favor and go to the exe in file browser and hover over it
hexed obsidian
Is this some kind of meme I'm not getting or were you interested in something in particular?
hexed obsidian
BootstrapPackagedGame?
placid pendant
no the exe
hexed obsidian
That is the description of the AmidEvil exe tho
hexed obsidian
Yeah cuz AE runs on the Unreal Engine I guess...
placid pendant
i thought it was unity?
plucky isle
nope UE4
hexed obsidian
Nah, DUSK runs on Unity tho
plucky isle
unity
hexed obsidian
Not the same dev team for DUSK and AE

This might be a little outdated at this point but you can check out who's working / worked on what here: https://newblood.games/about-us
latent fractal
the game keeps switching itself to windowed mode???
indigo pecan
@tight rune Also, important tip
Be very careful of the level order you go in
I ended going into what was intended as episode 6 for my 4th episode
hexed obsidian
Yeah, later episodes are quite a bit harder than the ones intended to be played earlier. Fortunately the episodes are not dependent on gear tho, since you start every episode with the axe only.
lilac copper
last time I played before the game was out I went into forges after sacred path. hadnt even been into solar solstice. got my ass handed back to me pretty quick
solar solstice is where it starts to get real but its nowhere near to forges
night ginkgo
@latent fractal every time you start the game , or? try hitting alt+enter and see what happens
plucky isle
My friend is doin first AE playthrough. Says that the mom of a person who's made these holes should be fucked
lethal elk

Hmm, so this happened again after jumping in the lake in E1M1. Hasn't happened in a while. I encountered wthis when ||getting the secret under the starting platform|| and then dropping down, but can't seem to be able to reproduce it consistently...
Basically, the blue water filter doesn't trigger, including the muffled sound

Just recently finished Amid Evil, fantastic level design and the whole game looks pretty as hell
Love the Corvus laugh whenever you pick up a weapon
crystal spruce
Wait the laugh that plays when you get a weapon is Corvus from Hexen?
I did not know that
tardy cove
I've always liked Heretic way more than Hexen
noble yacht
I like Hexen a lot but I also like Eternal Doom so I think that makes my opinion clear on weird switch hunt maps
