my highschool was all about quake 1 until we got upgrades and then all the kids wanted to do was play counter strike

#

i really didn't dig it at first

#

the lunch period was maybe an hour so spending any of it spectating just didn't make sense to me at the time

night ginkgo
#

yeah I prefered quake over CS

#

I did play a ton of CSS

#

but I can't go back, the movement and guns etc are horrible

#

idk how I ever played so much, probably just because of friends

fierce nymph
#

I also played a lot of CSS but not much CS. I continued with CS:GO until a year a go maybe. CS:GO feels nice to control tho

weary solar
#

probably just because of friends i feel like that defines 90% of purchases

@crystal spruce

crystal spruce

Hold on for a minute.

There.

crystal spruce
#

I bought it just now, thanks Shillbot.

rustic barn
#

so to cycle between rtx and non rtx I have to download 2 gb every time?

#

also how do I access the rtx level without having the rtx beta test

manic dragon
#

aeleon

#

debil

rustic barn
#

just lets you choose levels

#

doesn't include the rtx level

plucky isle
#

but you can access it via main menu lmao

Can't stop me now

rustic barn
#

the redditor inside you is pleased

#

@plucky isle where the fuck in the main menu

crystal spruce
#

Leon, i made you CRY

#

That is a sign that you are to accept AE as Heretic III.

rustic barn
#

it's like that shitty wrath gnome meme in the 3dr discord

crystal spruce
#

That means someone wanted you to rename Amid Evil to Heretic III 😂

it's the only level available if u've chosen the RTX build

#

to access the rest of the game use aeleon cheat

rustic barn
#

i want to play the rtx level without rtx

plucky isle
#

then use -dx10 in steam launch option

#

or -dx11

it's beta

#

so stop whining

#

and have fun

#

Haha guys look at me, renaming a game to heretic 3 because I’m a zany cool dude xP

#

Let me ping poor romero about my big funni maymay

#

Let’s get this posted to reddit too my guys

There aren't any switch hunts though. so far.

night ginkgo
#

...

crystal spruce
#

By the way, are the textures pixelated on purpose?

crystal spruce
#

This is a better desktop icon than the default one. I made this from AE's twitter pfp.

frosty drift
#

Neat

#

What's a desktop icon though? B1

crystal spruce
#

A shortcut''s icon

#

the default one is just AE against a pitch black bg

slate sorrel
#

It should be the battle axe tbh

crystal spruce
#

You're right.

#

Welp, guess I'll have to steal some more assets.

manic dragon
#

tf is shortcut icon

proven snow
#

okay

#

i found something

#

and i can't find anything about it online

#

anyone else ever found this easter egg

night ginkgo
#

lmao

#

I'm pretty sure @cinder mist made that

crystal spruce
#

Where can i enable debug mode?

plucky isle
#

@crystal spruce Go to Steam ->Amid Evil Properties ->Betas -> choose RTX test

crystal spruce
#

@night ginkgo I know AE has pixelated textures for the sake of retro graphics - but is it the real textures that are like that or can we disable the pixels?

night ginkgo
#

all the textures are low res

crystal spruce
#

HD textures when leon?

crystal spruce
#

When u mod them in ™️

crystal spruce
#

Seems probable

#

You know, if Leon doesn't do it then I'm very likely to do it myself. I've done some small texture works before. Now only if I could find the right tools...

And yet people joke

"Its pretty good, but Heretic is still probably better. Just buy heretic on sale for around a dollar and run it with GZdoom."

#

lol what is wrong with that guy

proper oxide
#

Was that Bal?

fringe flint
#

its a review on steam. "The Traveller"

#

at least he gave it a thumbs up

#

"Playing this game feels like eating perfect fried chicken"

#

heh ok

crystal spruce
#

Heretics fun

#

But amid evil looks more fun

#

Lol

rustic barn
lone hatch
#

I love Leon's adorable little lewd faces 😊

manic dragon
crystal spruce
#

@fringe flint well he's wrong, amid evil is modern heretic, also being the closest thing to a third Heretic game.

fringe flint
#

0.3 hours on record...

crystal spruce
#

I've seen videos before playing the game.

#

Playing it myself only gave me more motivation to write the review.

#

I've also tried endless mode before going into the campaign, which gave me a good impression on what the game feels like - Heretic.

lethal elk
#

tfw bal doesn’t like amid evil’s textures

crystal spruce
#

They purposely made the textures low res for that retro graphics wannabe bullshit

#

Ae doesn't need low res textures to be a retro fps for fuck sake

lone hatch
#

Little late to add in a bunch of high quality hd textures

crystal spruce
#

"We've already made the gameplay oldschool and retro enough, now let's downscale the texture quality as well!"

  • probably Leon.
#

^This is the only criticism I have of Amid Evil.

#

@lone hatch HD Textures DLC would be nice ya know? I'd be more than willing to pay it.

lone hatch
#

Leon and co are already workin on a new game I wouldn't expect much more from Amid Evil

crystal spruce
lone hatch
#

have fun I guess

crystal spruce
#

Real fun. Of course!

#

I don't think I really need Leon's permission for this, since I'll just take the textures and upscale the quality with some imagery tools.

#

Once I'm done I'll show it to him and see what he thinks.

lethal elk
#

wannabe bullshit
literally no taste smh

crystal spruce
#

They just wanna make it look old, despite the modern lighting, architecture, and models.

#

I called it wannable bullshit because ae does not have to have low res textures to feel old, it's the gameplay that matters.

#

If this was Dusk, I'd shut my mouth. Dusk clearly imitates an old game with low-polygon models and level designs.

lethal elk
#

so uh, double standards?

crystal spruce
#

Gameplay: retro
Graphics: low res textures with high quality lighting and models.

#

What a mess.

#

This is why I decided to set out and upscale the textures myself. This mix of old textures with modern engine graphics is stupid.

lone hatch
#

did u know the weapons are sprites

crystal spruce
#

WRATH did it right, quake engine graphics with low res textures. Now ae just takes UE4 and slaps in low res textures for the sake of retro graphics.

#

@lone hatch yes. That's the only good part.

lone hatch
#

I wouldn't say its for the sake of retro graphics

#

its a really unique look

#

I haven't seen anywhere else and it looks nice tbh

crystal spruce
#

I acknowledge the uniqueness in this choice of design from the devs, but it only comes off as irritating to see UE4 with low res textures.

lone hatch
#

Well it's an artistic style choice by the devs its probably not gonna get changed even if you upres all the textures yourself

crystal spruce
#

Wdym?

#

If I were to make the textures look better in quality, it does make the game look more attractive.

lone hatch
#

yeah but that doesn't mean they're gonna put it into the game

crystal spruce
#

I never said I would persuade the devs for it.

#

It's my own personal retouch of AE textures.

#

Unless I give it out to the public, that's when I would need their permission.

proper oxide
#

Reb just leave it

lone hatch
#

I just did lol

crystal spruce
frosty drift
#

you're going to need an unpacker and unfortunately that falls outside the scope of support we can provide on here

#

google should help you find what you're looking for

crystal spruce
#

#ae-mods when Leon?

lone hatch
#

mod support is not planned for amid evil

crystal spruce
#

aww, well i can wait either way.

frosty drift
#

UE4 makes implementing modding tools extremely tricky unfortunately

#

we'd do it if it were doable in a reasonable amount of work

crystal spruce
#

Yeah, i've seen enough info on how UE4 works to know that.

frosty drift
#

but as it is it just isn't viable. the AE crew is already busy working on new things

fringe flint
#

@crystal spruce steam still shows only 0.7 hrs on record. with the amount of time you've spent on discord you could have finished the game a few times already

#

have you actually played it?

crystal spruce
#

lemme just copy/paste what i just said before:

#

"I've seen videos before playing the game.
Playing it myself only gave me more motivation to write the review.
I've also tried endless mode before going into the campaign, which gave me a good impression on what the game feels like - Heretic."

fringe flint
#

you should play it.... it's fun

crystal spruce
#

I did. I haven't started the campaign.

#

But i played endless mode and that was all it needs to write a review.

fringe flint
#

aight

crystal spruce
#

The campaign is just endless mode but with different levels and some form of story.

#

Otherwise, the game remains exactly the same.

#

The campaign doesn’t have infinitely spawning enemies

#

And secrets.

lone hatch
#

thats an interesting take

fringe flint
#

i'm going to print that out and frame it

crystal spruce
#

Like, thats gonna change much.

#

The campaign has secrets.

lone hatch
#

he don't know about the bosses 😏

fringe flint
#

he don't know about bubble platforming😏

crystal spruce
#

Still heretic.

lone hatch
#

he dont know about the fact that you can press W and move forward

winged ibex
#

... No.

lone hatch
#

I didn't know about that until like 37 hours in

crystal spruce
#

Doubt.

lone hatch
#

I was using the arrow keys until then

winged ibex
#

AE and Heretic play completely differently.

#

Because you can actually complete AE without a guide.

lone hatch
#

AE is more like Unreal

winged ibex
#

^

crystal spruce
#

I played Heretic without a guide.

#

same thing with ultimate doom.

winged ibex
#

Oops I mixed up Heretic and Hexen.

#

Eh my point still stands though, AE and Heretic don't play similarly.

crystal spruce
#

AE cant be hexen, no switch hunting.

#

AE could be Heretic.

#

wicked helm
#

e

fierce nymph
#

A bit, influenced by it

crystal spruce
#

^

#

this man knows it.

winged ibex
#

AE just kinda feels like a cross between Quake, Unreal and Painkiller.

crystal spruce
#

Play Heretic and then switch to ae.

#

Amid Evil is just painkiller but it looks good.

fierce nymph
#

But it's not like PREY was System Shock 3 in all but name

crystal spruce
#

Also where the fuck did all you folks come from?

fierce nymph
#

Because that's exactly what it was

crystal spruce
#

This channel was dead silent just 10 mins ago.

lone hatch
#

people are gettin off work and outta school

crystal spruce
#

Its still winter break for my school.

#

lol

fringe flint
#

is there a way to view all of the AE badges in steam?

lone hatch
#

pfft imagine being lazy and taking a break from school

winged ibex
#

I'm a bad take magnet.

crystal spruce
#

School is too ugly.

fierce nymph
#

Imagine being in school

lone hatch
#

you need to commit

crystal spruce
#

school is worse than ae's low res textures.

lone hatch
#

textures?

fierce nymph
#

But the textures are fine, is your eyesight messed up or something

crystal spruce
#

fine my ass

lone hatch
#

I don't think you can fine an ass

crystal spruce
#

its fucking pixelated to the core.

fierce nymph
#

That's the point lmao

crystal spruce
#

What point?!

lone hatch
#

stylistic choice

fierce nymph
#

To look hardware rendered

crystal spruce
#

Well ae is supposed to have shitty textures.

winged ibex
#

Hey Bal, your monitor is actually made out of tiny pixels.

crystal spruce
#

ae is supposed to have shitty water frames.

#

Shitty textures, WITH A MODERN LIGHTING ENGINE??

#

Because new blood like bumer gaimes

lone hatch
#

calm down buddy lol

winged ibex
#

Can't believe Bal has a phobia of pixels.

lone hatch
#

and dont gang up on him lol

crystal spruce
#

Guess what hatsu?

fierce nymph
#

Yeah. And people at unreal praised it because of that as i can recall

#

epic

#

i mean

crystal spruce
#

I made pixel arts myself! @winged ibex

#

HA1

#

I mean it’d probably be cool to see ae with higher res textures but I don’t really pay attention to them.

#

I pay too much attention to textures.

#

happens every game.

fierce nymph
#

It's not pixel art, it's the filtering. They were going for the hardware rendering

#

You know, Qvack the Duck

crystal spruce
#

I know its a stylistic choice, but why would you even apply low quality textures to a beautiful lighting engine such as UE4 in the first place?

winged ibex
#

Why not.

fierce nymph
#

Because it fucking works lmao

winged ibex
#

It looks nice. There's a charm to low fidelity being mixed with high fidelity stuff.

crystal spruce
#

I wouldve used goldsrc instead.

fierce nymph
#

Let me put it this way. Low poly assets with high resolution textures look ugly. But High Poly Assets with lower texture resolution usually looks better

#

Take Thief 1 for example and put any texture mod on it

crystal spruce
#

I absolutely agree.

fierce nymph
#

Looks fucking horrible

crystal spruce
#

But it's about the lighting that ruins that whole idea of low res textures on high res models thing.

fierce nymph
#

I don't like filtered textures in Quake and other games, i always put them in hardware rendering. So it fits the aesthetic. Even if i crank up everything in Dark Places such as Shadows and Lights, it still looks good

crystal spruce
#

if ae had 1999 lighting, the textures would've been more appealing and fitting.

fierce nymph
#

I really like the effects in AE with how it looks. Sets up the mood nicely. Try playing the forge. Also endless isn't enough to experience anything. It's mid day time

crystal spruce
#

Okay, what I'm saying is:

  • Low res textures with modern lighting is unusual
  • Should've used an older lighting engine, or one that looks basic enough.
#

That way, the low res textures can really fit the whole lighting setup.

fierce nymph
#

Yeah, but they weren't going for that setup. They really like their effects with sprites and hardware rendered assets

crystal spruce
#

I still find the use of a modern lighting engine wrong though. They could have used any other basic looking engine and it still wouldve worked just fine.

lone hatch
#

amid stinky tbh

fierce nymph
#

Yeah, but COLOR THEORY

lone hatch
#

COLOR
THEORY

crystal spruce
#

If there's one thing that makes AE perfect, it's high-res textures.

#

And I'm determined to complete that before Leon stops me.

lethal elk
#

have you actually unpacked the paks or you just given up?

crystal spruce
#

I'm still playing dusk, trying to finish the game and get all the achievements before working full-time on HD AE textures.

lethal elk
#

kay

unborn aspen
#

Amid Evil is a Half Life clone.

#

Leon can confirm.

lethal elk
#

leon time

fierce nymph
#

So what exactly are you going to do with the textures, just flush them with Gigapixel AI and be done?

#

You know what games had bad background textures? REmake, and the patch was well made to solve the problems and make everything consistent. Amid Evil already has consistent textures across the board for high resolution displays

crystal spruce
#

I was going for that, but I'm also concerned of whether if the textures will be messed up due to the AI or not.

fierce nymph
#

Usually not. If they aren't software rendered, but just textures like normal textures. Gigapixel AI is black magic. You can use 240p images from PS1 era like RE3 and upscale them to fit your screen and they will look amazing and detailed without artifacts

jovial kettle
#

Has anyone noticed some odd stuttering issues in Amid Evil?

crystal spruce
#

Now only if I could find the game files.

fierce nymph
#

AE was always super smooth for me

#

On a 1060 GTX

#

Works even with Free/G-Sync so it goes above 60 frames

jovial kettle
#

The game is a little choppy when I pan the viewport, on a R7 2700 @ 3.8ghz, 16gb 3400 ram and a RTX 2070 super

crystal spruce
#

I'm assuming all the game files are in this pak but i might be wrong.

jovial kettle
#

I don't know...

crystal spruce
#

Leon, is this where all the assets are stored?

fierce nymph
#

And i even played it on an 10 year old HDD too

jovial kettle
#

with RTX on btw

tall temple
#

you're one google search away from finding out

#

RTX is a beta feature ATM. expect a little jank

fierce nymph
#

I don't know about RTX other than it drops frames crazy mad and might induce stuttering

jovial kettle
#

its also a little choppywith out RTX

#

I've noticed that Hellblade is choppy as well

#

I think its just an unreal engine 4 thing

tall temple
#

hard to say. are you playing from an SSD?

jovial kettle
#

Its not super annoying, just a little odd

#

HDD

tall temple
#

try SSD if possible

jovial kettle
#

ok

#

I can do that

#

its on my SSD now...

#

no change

manic dragon
#

its choppy or just not smooth

jovial kettle
#

choppy, like the camera will hitch and stutter with mouse movements

#

but my framerate is high

tall temple
#

hmm something aint right. and tthe fact its happening with other games tells me theres something happening in the background causing a snag. what that is? no clue. but something is definitely there

crystal spruce
jovial kettle
#

maybe...

#

although I recently played through Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and that was fine

crystal spruce
#

Leon, I know you're there.

#

This is pak file a valid one?

lone hatch
#

Leon is asleep

crystal spruce
#

and does it contain all of the game's assets?

#

aww

tall temple
#

if the pak is encrypted (and it might be) you wont be able to access it easily

crystal spruce
#

Oof.

winged ibex
#

Yeah, UE4 contains tools that can encrypt Pak files so it may not be easily accessible.

crystal spruce
#

Then where are the game's assets stored? In that encrypted pak, methinks.

night ginkgo
#

@jovial kettle check the steam forums there's a fix

jovial kettle
#

ok

lone hatch
#

Well I was wrong

jovial kettle
#

lone hatch
#

Leon go sleepy 😴

fierce nymph
#

Yes

crystal spruce
#

You changed your pfp.

#

nice

night ginkgo
#

It's not encrypted

fierce nymph
#

Yeah, i made it from my t-shirt. But going to change it again

crystal spruce
#

WHAT

night ginkgo
#

Ae has more than one texture per shader

#

The textures are PBR so there's 3-4 per what you're seeing

#

Normal maps rough maps emissives etc

#

It would be a mission

crystal spruce
fierce nymph
#

What what. It's a Himiko Toga t-shirt, never seen that one before?

crystal spruce
#

On second thought, let's not alter AE's textures.

fierce nymph
#

I have all these nice avatars and i can't decide which one to use

crystal spruce
#

I give up.

fierce nymph
#

Yeah, they are fine as they are

proper oxide
#

Lol

#

Anyone could’ve told you that it would’ve been way more effort than it’s worth

#

But you needed to learn for yourself

jovial kettle
#

there doesn't really seem to be a valid fix for Unreal Engine 4's stuttering issues on AMD cpus

night ginkgo
#

Did you try the mixer thing?

jovial kettle
#

the what

night ginkgo
#

I can link it when I get to my pc

#

Gimme a min

#

It's on the amid evil forums on steam under 'amid bugs/customer support'

jovial kettle
#

ok

#

Unreal Engine in genreal seems to have some problems with high core count amd cpus

#

Because my old 2200g ran everything just fine, with no stutters at all

night ginkgo
#

Step 1
Close Amid Evil if you have it open.

Step 2
Open your engine.ini in notepad or other text editor. Located here
C:\Users\*yourname*\AppData\Local\AmidEvil\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Step 3
Add the following lines to the bottom of the Engine.ini:
[/script/engine.audiosettings]
bDisableMasterEQ=True

Step 4
Save engine.ini then launch Amid Evil.```
jovial kettle
#

I did that

night ginkgo
#

ah

jovial kettle
#

I'm running a R7 2700 @3.8

#

if that helps

night ginkgo
#

have you got the frame capped in game?

jovial kettle
#

and a RTX 2070 super

#

I had it capped at 80

night ginkgo
#

it used to stutter for me on my AMD if I didn't cap/ have vsync

#

ok

jovial kettle
#

I can try capping it lower

split fossil
#

You try it without the oc?

jovial kettle
#

no, but Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, stuttered like crazy with my CPU at stock

#

so I don't think that's the issue

split fossil
#

You using ryzen master or bios to oc? Idk might be worth trying if you can just flip it off and back on later easily.

jovial kettle
#

bios, but I can easily swap profiles

#

but my cpu passed like, 1 hour of Cinebench r20

split fossil
#

I know gta gave me issues with my oc. I'm on the 2700x.

jovial kettle
#

odd

manic dragon
#

i dont have issues with UE4 games on my 2600

jovial kettle
#

Interesting

night ginkgo
#

lots of people have issues with amd cpus

#

I would know I've been using them for 10 years

manic dragon
#

(unless said game is poorly optimized but thats just lower framerate)

night ginkgo
#

some games just seem to not work great with em

#

like R6 siege I just to get these horrible hitches ever like 1 minute or so

jovial kettle
#

Quantum conundrum month like garbage now

#

Will it rain find my 2200 G

#

When*

#

I’m checking to see that GTA V runs ok

#

Just for sanity

#

runs like garbage

#

maybe this is an issue with my cpu oc...

split fossil
#

I ended up just turning it off and leaving pbo and the cool and quiet on.

jovial kettle
#

hmmm

split fossil
#

With my cooling it still hits around what I had it manually set to when it needs to. But the performance bugs went away.

jovial kettle
#

at stock my 2700 only really boosts to around 3.4 under gaming loads

#

even with pbo enabled

#

which i think is normal

split fossil
#

If you want to regain some of the loss from turning off the oc. Tighten your ram timings if youre familiar with doing that (assuming you haven't already)

jovial kettle
#

I have my ram at 3400Mhz, 16 18 18 36

#

I don't feel comfortable tweaking that any further

split fossil
#

Bdie?

jovial kettle
#

old arse corshair dominator platinum memory

#

i don't know what the memory chips are

#

memory overclocking is a tricky thing

split fossil
#

Yes lol. I reset my bios like 20 times getting it dialed in

#

But other than that Idk what else it could be. Doing that stuff made everything run fine for me.

jovial kettle
#

I just let the bios do its thing and not worry about it

#

ITS FIXED

#

The OC was the problem

Blessed Synteks

manic dragon
#

thats why i let my cpu turbo itself instead of manual oc

jovial kettle
#

how odd

split fossil
#

Ryzen 2000 is an odd case with oc's

manic dragon
#

i dont see the reason to oc myself now

jovial kettle
#

I might try running with different clocks later, but for now this is fine

manic dragon
#

it sets up to the 3,6 itself with aftermarket cooling and everything runs smoothly

split fossil
#

Maybe put a bit of an oc on the 2070 to gain some of the loss back?

jovial kettle
#

I have a Cryorig h7 cooler installed that dose a decent job

#

my 2070 has a light OC of +100 core/ +300 memory

split fossil
#

That's pretty much what I'm doing. Except with a 1070ti

jovial kettle
#

Yeah. I have to say that the current RTX implementation is pretty good.

night ginkgo
#

noice glad it works

jovial kettle
#

what exactly dose the RTX Screen Percent slider do, apart from control the quality of reflections

night ginkgo
#

that's basically what it does

#

you get higher frames out of a lower screen %

jovial kettle
#

it seems like it controls ray count?

night ginkgo
#

probably not, it's for reflections only

jovial kettle
#

interesting

night ginkgo
#

the documentation be very lacking, so we've been doing what looks best vs best performance

#

nvidia was helpful

jovial kettle
#

well, however it works, performance is (now that i fixed the issues on my end) excellent with ultra RTX enabled

night ginkgo
#

👍

manic dragon
#

oh i forgot about leaving the review

night ginkgo
manic dragon

it's still on 1999 for me

#

crystal spruce
#

you're still stuck in the 20th century?

#

BOOMER!

night ginkgo
#

well yes I was born in the 20th century

crystal spruce
#

oh? you were?
who could've known!

fringe flint
#

i see 2000

night ginkgo
#

ye it finally changed for me too

fringe flint
#

the review rate must be pretty low on Steam

night ginkgo
#

you mean like % of owners vs reviews?

fringe flint
#

yes

night ginkgo
#

it's all over the place

fringe flint
#

something changed the color of my name and I have no idea what happened

night ginkgo
#

on here?

#

you ranked up probably

fringe flint
#

i guess. i'm a noob with discord

#

oh theres ranks?

night ginkgo
#

more messages = more rank

#

yeah lol

fringe flint
#

i just realized that i have 403 games in my account and i've reviewed 5 of them

manic dragon
#

its server sided

fringe flint
#

so yeah, not much of a review rate right there

crystal spruce
#

we're both soldiers.

#

noice.

I think I know the real reason why Amid Evil and many other games where running so poorly on my computer: ASUS armory crate, and all the bloat that comes along with it.
After uninstalling all the asus stuff from my computer everything runs alot faster.

boreal sleet
#

Favorite level anyone?
Arcane Expanse for me.

crystal spruce
lone hatch
#

no one knows what heretic is

plucky isle
#

Everyone knows that you are

lethal elk
#

fav level is Gantlet of Torment for me

lone hatch
#

who

crystal spruce
#

You.

lone hatch
#

?

crystal spruce
#

Nevermind.

#

What's your favorite weapon? Mine is the Staff of the Azure Orb.

tardy cove
#

Celestial Claw, because you can't beat a weapon that fires actual celestial bodies

crystal spruce
#

I gotta admit, it does look absolutely beautiful.

crystal spruce
#

I'm still imagining if AE was a 2.5D shooter like Doom, or y'know, Heretic or something in the build engine like Blood.

#

Those games were before the fully 3d era of quake and half life.

plucky isle
#

Amid Evil 3-D

lone hatch
#

You're describing what Amid Evil already is

#

2.5D

crystal spruce
#

You're kidding.

plucky isle
#

I know goddamit

#

Just makin' things look OLD

crystal spruce
#

I was talking to Reb.

plucky isle
#

Me too lol

crystal spruce
#

It's definitely not 2.5d

#

The weapons are sprites, but the projectiles arent, nor the enemies.

#

And wheres are those ancient 3d rendering levels?

lone hatch
#

the projectiles and enemies are sprites though

crystal spruce
#

Wait what. Am I being bullshited here or are they actually sprites. They look very 3d to me, since enemies move at a fast speed I couldn't pay enough attention.

#

I highly doubt they're sprites.

proper oxide
#

they are

#

100%

#

we've done a zillion fucking posts about it

crystal spruce
#

I've seen an article on steam about weapons being sprites but I haven't seen one about enemies or projectiles.

proper oxide
#

oh the enemies and projectiles are models

crystal spruce
proper oxide
#

actually i think the azure orbs are sprites

#

idk about that one

crystal spruce
#

That's good enough.

proper oxide
#

i know most projectiles are models tho

#

most of the items used to be models too

crystal spruce
#

I can now call Amid Evil 2.9D.

#

Not 3d, just 2.9d

plucky isle
#

Amid Evil Fake3D

crystal spruce
#

Unslap yourself.

plucky isle
#

no

fringe flint
#

i'm going to go for the hippie achievement

#

what level is best?

night ginkgo
#

depends how honest you want to be about getting the achievement

#

you can beat e1m3 in about 10 secs by planet jumping and getting the silver key

fringe flint
#

hmm, that's a good point, I could look for the shortest speedruns and just copy their strats

#

doing it the old fashioned way, I would think the best levels would be the ones without narrow corridors and definitely without precarious perches

#

note to self, don't choose Hard for this purpose

fringe flint
#

man my muscle memory is calibrated to the Q3 rocket jump

#

i just can't planet jump

#

you have to jump after the shot

#

mind = blown

soft bramble
#

Lads...
Whispers edge or star of torment?

#

I prefer star

devout olive
#

most people do prefer the star. Star is better for single enemies but whisper's edge is better when there's a bunch of enemies clumped up imo

fringe flint
#

whispers edge

#

because of the SCHWEEEEENG

dreamy prairie
#

Star, because is funny see the enemy flying the area XD

#

eh,

what about amid evil beyond hexxen

tardy cove
#

Please, no Hexen switch hunting in my AE

It’s literally one guy calling that

#

And he’s done it 20 times

Because goddammit you gotta know he thinks ae is hexen

Yeah but imagine supporting another dead multiplayer game

#

Amid Evil is going to be speedrun on the GDQ schedule tomorrow!

proper oxide
#

Yep!

#

Planning on throwing it up on the NB cytube

#

Making it into a lil community event

lethal elk
#

noice

crystal spruce
#

Amid Evil isn't Heretic 3

#

but damn it's so similar!

gusty shard
#

I would love a Heretic 3 tho

crystal spruce
#

Same.

#

at least we have amid evil.

lone hatch
#

No we don't

#

game is cancelled

crystal spruce
#

then whats this channel for?

#

answer, Reb!

gusty shard
#

Heresy

crystal spruce
#

Reb is the embodiment of confusion.

lone hatch
#

This channel is for a medievil game

gusty shard
#

And I am now reminded of MediEvil.

fringe flint
#

looking forward to the Bal ban

crystal spruce
#

no u

proper oxide
#

Yeah same

crystal spruce
#

Y'all just a buncha mods who won't recognize AE as a potential 3rd Heretic Axe

#

even Leon doesnt.

lone hatch
#

because no one here likes Heretic that much

#

it was honestly pretty meh

#

Just magic doom

dreamy prairie
#

music is good, nice textures and weapons.
but some maps are boring

crystal spruce
#

Heretic was good enough for me. The sequel was fuckin weird for its use of 3rd person, pretty Zelda like tbh.

proper oxide
#

No it wasn’t lol

#

Not at fucking all

lone hatch
#

Heretic 2 was way better than one at least imo

proper oxide
#

It was a level based retro shooter tps

lethal elk
#

Heretic level design throughout all the episodes are pretty solid

#

It was just

crystal spruce
#

Third person Heretic felt so wrong.

proper oxide
#

Not for me

#

Heretic 2 was fuckin sick

crystal spruce
#

I never bothered finishing heretic 2.

lethal elk
#

A lot of the weapons felt like the plasma gun from doom

proper oxide
#

Yeah I can tell

crystal spruce
#

On the bright side.

#

We have Hexen II

#

So that's good

proper oxide
#

Heretic 2 > Hexen 2

lone hatch
#

Amid Evil honestly feels nothin like Heretic at least for me it very much feels like a blend of Quake and Unreal

#

Hexen 2 is lame

lethal elk
#

same

crystal spruce
#

If there's one thing amid evil totally ripped from

lethal elk
#

I feel more quake then unreal for me

crystal spruce
#

It's the weapons

lethal elk
#

But that just me

proper oxide
#

I wouldn’t say totally ripped

#

Cause that just sounds shitty

#

And if you really think about it, none of the weapons are very similar

crystal spruce
#

Exaggerated, but yeah.

lone hatch
#

yeah amid evil's weapons are pretty god damn unique

#

well visually at least

crystal spruce
#

It still reminds me a lot of Heretics weapons.

lethal elk
#

nah

lone hatch
#

Amid Evil's weapons are very much is the standard retro fps weapon set

lethal elk
#

Heretics weps were all samey

lone hatch
#

pistol, shotgun, super shotgun, minigun, rocket launcher, bfg

crystal spruce
#

And Heretic pretty much did the same thing.

lone hatch
#

The way they're presented is unique though

crystal spruce
#

And Heretic pretty much did the same thing.

proper oxide
#

Nice repeat

crystal spruce
#

It's TRUE though.

#

Heretic pretty much uses the same loadout of doom's

proper oxide
#

I mean really every retro fps does that tho

lone hatch
#

yeah

crystal spruce
#

Amid evil did the same thing.

#

Just as Heretic did.

proper oxide
#

Yep

lone hatch
#

So Amid Evil is like Heretic because it did the thing that every other retro shooter did?

proper oxide
#

But what we are saying is that it’s not a copy paste from heretic

#

Heretic was really just wands and staffs

#

Ae has 1 staff

crystal spruce
#

Well its not, of course not.
But again, play Heretic and switch to AE immediately afterwards, it's just so similar!

lone hatch
#

I've done that

#

don't really see it

#

Heretic is wildly different lol

proper oxide
#

The rest are swords, maces, launchers, tridents, and otherworldly ribbon candy

crystal spruce
#

Otherworldly ribbon candy.

lone hatch
lethal elk
#

amid is its own beast

crystal spruce
#

The on plus side, amid evil has achievements.

manic dragon
#

its crap on its own

crystal spruce
#

The 37 achievements ae has is what heretic couldn't do.

lone hatch
#

I pity the cheevo gamer

crystal spruce
#

As an avid achievement hunter, that is amazing.

#

What? U hate achievements?

lone hatch
#

yeah an achievement caused an earthquake in my town

crystal spruce
#

I've achieved more achievements than the amount of years you've lived.

manic dragon
#

can i take hiatus from meme posting

lone hatch
#

I got epically owned

lethal elk
#

You may

crystal spruce
#

370+ achievements. That's enough years for me to see an international galactic dyson sphere.

lone hatch
#

why haven't you

crystal spruce
#

Because Dyson Spheres dont exist.

#

At least not yet.

night ginkgo

how do you know

#

they might

#

there are at least 2 trillion galaxies out there

crystal spruce

Dyson Spheres are awesome.

There should be a replay on YouTube later on if you don't wanna stay up

Good to know! I'll wait a bit longer but if it doesn't start I'll have to go.

But I'd rather watch it live.

@night ginkgo, may you please push out a small tiny update with the game's icon?
I've made more expressive and favorable ones in just 5 mins - it doesn't take long.

mr leon I make new cover for AE

plz change for it

I work hard

Its totally fine if leon doesnt want to change the icon, but that doesnt mean i cant share my own icons here @proper oxide

Well posting random unsolicited files ain't exactly somethin we're gonna low

#

the schedule at gdq 404's now. did they change it or somethin?

yeah it's borked

Since posting unsolicited files are not allowed, I'll just post my AE icons as pngs - convert them to .ico files using any online tools or whatever you must do.

hardy mural

they are still files

at least reb isnt gonna remove them

right?

then doom and then amid evil

ye

crystal spruce
#

@fringe flint 0.7 hours = 42 minutes. I think that's enough to be considered as "played", obviously not finished but y'know.

fringe flint
#

yeah, whatever floats your boat man, just seems kinda strange how much time you spend on discord stuff without actually spending much time in the game

crystal spruce
#

Gotta get in the mood. thats pretty much me before playing any game, not just amid evil.

night ginkgo

I recommend scented candles

thats for horror games.

as far as im concerned, amid evil isnt horror.

I recommend chinese food

@unborn aspen Very much! Like I said, I'll get into it once I'm finished with Dusk's levels and achievements.
