Nope
In fact, with the introduction of the black labyrinth achievements are going to be removed entirely
Amid Evil
The Black Labyrinth
The what?
The black ligma
amid evil on the quake engine instead of unreal 4
amid evil 83
amid evil sidescroller 
Amid Evil but it's a TTRPG
Amid Evil demake on the Infinity Engine.
yo, the rtx beta crashes for me every time i try to quickload and sometimes when i select load latest after dying. im on a 3070
Yeah, it crashes whenever I move onto a new level.
this is a known bug, we're doing an update soon that will fix it
I'm still looking for the Yellow Labyrinth
no
at least the Bog of Eternal Stench
it's New Blood's chance at their first poison swamp level
this is new blood not from software
black labyrinth better have non-euclidean geometry
but what's cooler than David Bowie's....... pant attire?
leon should make an amulets and armor 2 but with dogshit balancing that the fans will have to fix post release
...I hate myself for thinking of a really bad joke.
jab should
Piss Labyrinth
Labyrinth of Piss
You fellas gonna make an Amid Evil equivalent of a rail gun?
speaking of only making cool shit š
that's great to hear, keep up the good work

Just finished my first run, and I have to say, I took 3 times longer than I should have, cause I stopped to look and enjoy the environments. Especially the last few levels. One of the most beautiful games I've played in a long time.
taking your time > rushing through
Not playing amid evil > playing amid evil
took my time too
it's a gorgeous game
the sound design is really good too
down the the noises for clicking on the menus
this was my first playthrough in a nutshell https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/367135220241137667/786945035722555452/unknown.png
did you crawl
i dunno how you spend an hour on a level
perci, you and bal are fucking psyhco
do you just stare at cracks in the wall
"hmm yes"
comparing accuracy or somehing
people are fucking crazy
just play the goddamn game
stop QAing it
the fucking thing is already out
thatās crazy
i mean he did kinda pay for it tho
did he not pay for his copy of amid evil?
he did
so how does it not make sense?
why does that mean he should QA it
iām certain that he paid for the game
so he can probably do whatever he wants with it
do you know what QA is
donāt patronize me
he can drink all the beer bottles if he wanted to
just to see if they still get him drunk
cause he paid for it
he can even look at all the cracks
i get it
amid evil has some good cracks
donāt lie
i legitimately canāt name another game that has good secrets like this one
it keeps me coming back to the game every time
i never secret hunt in games
eh thatās on him š
that just seems asinine to me
20 minutes, like sure
yeah
like even with my 50 hours on duks i still havent found all the secrets
same
but 71 minutes
that should be pinned lol
no
i feel like itās a meme
i refuse to let anything from perci be pinned
10-20 depending on the length of the level
yeah
now 71 minutes for something like smej i can understand
but not amid evil
the levels arenāt that big
solid time
isn't that normal
laugh
no avain
Fair
no perci pins
ae has pretty wall cracks
perci
it's good
gaming
no
then what were you doing
do you just not remember
well I guess I did Idle
so you just stand there and stare at a wall
kinda
stop beating around the bush
walking around the place getting ready to enter the next area
what did you do
giving myself breaks idk it's a spooky level
nah watching walls
they spent time making those wall textures you know
they even aligned them properly
Ye i have a hard time understanding how you could sink over 70 minutes into ruins of all things
for maximum viewing pleasure
you probably like watching paint dry
no
Simmo probably spent less time applying those textures than you did looking at them
kinda
you are STARING AT WALLS
that was a joke but the walls are nice I admit
preparing for encounters by gathering resources and my conscience while also admiring the level
basically
christ on a cross
why was that like pulling teeth to get out of you
what was so hard for you to say that

it was a p good 70 minutes tho
it's basically how I played both dusk and ae
the two took like 50 hours together, it was good
then I went on to fuck around like twice as much in both games
sanboxing around trying to reverse engineer stuff and find amusing behaviors/bugs or whatever
because why the fuck not
anyway as u can see i don't really rush through games to say the least
This entire conversation was hilarious
50 hours per game?
per level
classic perci
It took perci 30 hours to beat dusk on his first play through and he didnāt even find all the secrets
how did you spend 25 hours on a level
50 hours per kill is the true way
You stay in a corner pretending to bleed out before you use a command to kill yourself
Because surviving at 2 hp is unrealistic
but really
ok
what is hp
Health points
25 hours per game isn't that bad
level
but what is a health point š¤
Thereās like 30 levels
In dusk
Iāve never played am
30 in Dusk, 21 in AE, plus bosses
those 30 in dusk could be dw and endless
why should they have been tho
amid evil
what the fuck happened in this channel lmao
yāall really went in on a guy for playing games too slow damn
yes
average speedrunning fan
average detail enjoyer
detail enjoying chads report in
but its perci
this is #amid-evil-or-hunt-showdown what do you expect
yo, how good is amid evil? ive been a new blood fan for a while but never got interested in amid evil for some reason
is good
How good is the map design from 1-10 (1 being cp_orange, and 10 being arcane dimensions)
i like really interconnected levels jam packed with enemies
sometimes 7 but its fairly good
idk I heard it sucks
Well now I want Hexen II RTX for real.
Even better Quake RTX.
Replace those dimly lit corridors with some goddamn sun.
Worked for Quake II.
I was going to ask if you meant RTX or vanilla lol. All that orange.
vanilla looks better than the rtx version if you exclude raytracing
like a really good idea
some of the textures look like ass
Also the new railgun and BFG10K were hideous.
oh yeah forgot about those
couldnt even get that far in the game before I just quit
at least AE RTX is finally moving forward
afaik it's been a major pain before shit got patched
It still crashes frequently.
I cant remember the details but it's not due to leon & co being incompetent its UE
or something like that
I don't mind lol, it's a beta.
I haven't tried, I'll give it a go later.
It still crashes on the current beta, it's fixed our end
We're just making sure it's stable before pushing an update
Ah, well thanks for the update. š
on the topic of RTX, I recently did a completionist playthrough of the game with ultra settings and RTX running at 100% on a simple GTX 980. Not only did the game look better than vanilla (by a good margin), but I never once dropped a frame below 60FPS, crashed, or stuttered. So thank you Dev team for making the game look even better while still providing a smooth experience even when using a half decade old gaming PC. 
you're lucky lol
What resolution were you running at?
maybe I jinxed myself, but it runs like a dream, also just 1080p, monitor is as old as the PC lol
no going back if u upgrade to 1440 or higher
also just to note, The Forges is a night and day difference with RTX on
E5M1 is simply gorgeous
with what settings
I meant shadows/reflections/light boost
I had everything checked but DLSS (or whatever that RTX card option is called)
it was greyed out but reflections, shadows and light boost was on
bad dlss vs good resolution scaling pixelization
hate to break it to you but the 980 doesn't support RTX features
so it would have just been running normally
you need a 10xx series or higher for ray tracing
how? I literally did a side by side comparison and took screenshots, The Forge is a huge difference
the light boost option will boost existing lights, it's not RT specific
maybe it improved in other ways that wasnt rtx...
oh okay
yeah I had reflections, shadows, and light boost enabled
looked incredible regarldess
is there a demo?
so i can see if my computer can run it
which map in E3 is that?
ill take a screenshot
REFLECTIONS OFF
REFLECTIONS ON
see it reflects past what normal Screen-space will do
so it's more like a mirror
yeah the first test looks like the first image, the reflection test looks like the second, thanks for clearing that up, was wondering why my performance was so good
I'm gonna have to make something that tells people their card might not support RTX
well anyways the bonus options that come with the RTX beta make the game look better lol
heh
that's cool anyway
the game was set up using all of the cool PBR features Unreal 4 has, so it should look good no matter what lol
a lot of stuff in there fakes what RTX does but it's not 100% as nice
Lol, I figured it was too good to be true.
also Chunky Pixels should be on by default, realized on my last playthrough how much better the models look (same when you turn bilinear filtering off in Dusk)
ULTRAKILL also looks weird without the PSX settings.
Though I turn up the resolution scale so I can see things easier during Cyber Grind.
wowie the RTX shots do look great
As I am on gog, I'll wait for RTX to do my second playthrough. Is there any plan for a co-op survival arena? Or Mod?
no. only DLC. Leon certainly doesn't hate money like the rest of new blood. š
he would if chinese food didn't cost money
If living didn't cost finances; I'm sure there are a few devs out there who would totally give games away for free; just cause they have passion for giving people things to enjoy.
why isn't AE as popular as dusk
Because of u
how
it's your fault perci
but why
go think about what you've done
fucking perci every time I swear to god
because this game is so good the average human brain isn't ready to embrace the awesome yet
clearly
Dusk is cool
b-but Leon..
AE is cool
your mistake was using high res textures and dynamic lights š
post opengl ae
backport everything to gzdoom
I mean now they also have normalmapped pbr sprites so...
AE has low textures tho lmao
Low res pbr textures
Yes
add bilinear filtering for real smooth looks
would definitely benefit the game
on a more serious note: supersampling would be neat
looks less blurry than fxaa or temporal and i know USM has it. though that doesn't necessarily imply it'd be just as implementable in AE.
dusk is probably more popular because it came out first and the aesthetic of dusk is more āaccessibleā
the visuals are more simple and its immediately obvious what style its trying to go for
also its more toaster friendly lol
also there are more memes like big john, soap, cartdog
fix'd
Dusk also seemed to get more attention from gaming outlets and youtubers
AE is arguably more toaster friendly because of resolution scaling.
Yeah if you can run Fornite you can probably run Amid Evil
Not at particularly high settings but you can run it
I cant run Amid Evil
xD
what kind of a toaster are you using lol
I'm not superstitious so I call bullshit
I donāt know Johnās exact specs but apparently running Dusk was so bad for him that Dave gave Ultrakill EA a day before it launched as compensation
DDR3
When I first got Dusk I ran it with those same specs except it was a 970 GPU
Very nice
Ik xD
guy i just learned leon had family at tomato town
no wonder ae rtx isnt done
hes been in mourning
LOL
this guy did it

bringing back a classic
here you go
are these canon
yes
wow
Is that Leon in the bunny suit
Big chungus suit
Hold up, who is that in the suit?
bunmy
bumny 
bLAck LAbyRiNTh wHEn!!1!1

thanks I was getting worried, that really narrows it down between 1 week and 1 year, I feel relieved.
https://kotaku.com/amid-evil-is-a-good-shooter-that-doesnt-need-guns-1846659557
Leon, Simmo, kotaku covers your game...
That is the shittiest way to describe amid evil
Its Kotaku, what do you expect
At least some level of intelligence
That I do
free marketing šš»
Do yourselves a favour and don't read the comment section to that article, it goes about as well as you would expect for people who make accounts on Kotaku...
"Can someone explain to me the aesthetic charm of retro inspired, low poly, 3D games?"
"
To me the big flaw is an overall lack of mechanical depth. Considering the fantasy setting, it would have been nice to have some sort of upgrade or level-up system."
it looks cool.
why stop there? how about an in depth crafting system that requires an in-game manual
That was one of the comments lol. Sorry I didn't mention that.
honestly kinda just wish it was a third person shooter tbh ngl
why does it have to be a shooter? just make it an mmorpg
*third person cover shooter
yeah you know like MDK but in a fantasy setting 
I hope the expansion adds the very important on-rails sections that are very crucial to good game design
Needs more walking & talking sections.
where are the npcs?
i feel they should've added a turret section or something to break up the tedium
Minigame where you must protect drying paint.
I donāt understand why they even added combat
yeah make amid evil a walking sim instead
@night ginkgo I hope you're writing all of this down, we are a real brainlet factory here
Thereās are some excellent ideas for amid evil 2
Honestly it should just be developed by naughty dog
Amid Evil 2: Medieval Warfare
Gimme five minutes and I'll have the worst ideas Leon has ever seen; and that's saying something since I regularly pitch ideas to Zag for USM.
But first.... I need to know.
What is Amid Evil?

focus on multiplayer, and excessive use of waypoints and linear level design since Amid Evil was just too non-linear, was getting lost constantly without being told what to do next
donāt forget about objective markers
All I needed to know.
Amid Evil is NES Legend of Zelda. Got it. 
i wish it was more like fallout nv
"too much water"
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."
"Wait... what's dangerous? Why do I need a sword? WHAT QUEST ARE YOU SENDING ME ON, OLD MAN?!"
Should have multiple endings
where's the pacifist route?
since all the other weapons are poopoo
amid evil 2 has 20 different endings
Should be more like undertale
All I know is that at least one NB game needs a boss who can only be defeated by throwing money at them.
serious talk though, Axe of the Black Labyrinth is the best weapon and anyone who disagrees doesn't know how to play the game /s 
haha sword spin
Dave,the final boss
i haven't played amid yet, but the only game's melee that iv'e enjoyed is tf2
just kidding, wasn't actually joking, Axe best weapon
axe is genuinely so good
my Evil difficulty bretheren know whats up
hell yeah
amid evils melee is more satisfying than tf2's which is already pretty nice
I believe that
do we have any idea whenish the dlc comes out?
especially with blender mode


fair lol
which means 1 week to 1 year, give or take
New side-quest idea: Deliver coffee.
Quest reward: Espresso.
Effects: When consumed, increases movement speed and attack speed by 100%. Effect lasts 60s. If too many are used, you gain a Debuff called "Caffeine Addiction" which causes you to be slowed in everything by 50% when not under the effects of Espresso.
never! MWHAHAHAHHAHA
I love that I just walked into that idk what I was expecting?
Amid Simon.
I do wonder how it will be structured though, will it be an episode or just a linear sequence of levels seperate from the hub design of the OG campaign
its linear iirc
A episodic release
since its getting the axe
linear because it only focuses on one world
that makes sense
is it only the size of about one world?
the scythe looks like a purple mana weapon, wonder what the starting melee weapon will be, it has BIG shoes to fill
two worlds i think
liek 8 levels
@lethal elk thats a good size for an expansion
ye
the screenshots look dope, could be the best world yet
im as excited for new music as I am for the game
Random Unsolicited Tip: Bind the Staff of the Azure Orb and Voltride to 'Q' & 'E' respectively (blue mana), the Whispers Edge and Star of Torment to 'R' & 'F' (green mana), the Celestial Claw to 'X' (orange mana), the Aeturnum to 'middle mouse button' (purple mana), and finally the Axe of the Black Labyrinth to 'right mouse button'. It is easy to learn and you don't have to take your fingers off of WASD to switch weapons and it is faster than scrolling through them with the mouse wheel, it makes dealing with Evil Difficulty much more manageable.
or just shcüt
I usually just rebind anything on keys 6-0 to q,e,r,v and b.
v and b? you have to take your fingers off of WASD to reach those
dont you have a thumb?
yeah but I have to bend my hand in an unnaturally way to achieve that
I dont know how crooked your hand is
because no you dont
it's right above the spot where you hold your thumb anyway
Yeah, I just use my thumb for v and b.
meh, my thumb rests on the spacebar and no higher or else I have to stretch it, using the index finger to press X is much more natural feeling
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Wait, using your index finger to press x is more natural? lol
That's totally different to me.
regardless, I know a lot of people use 1-7 when its kind of an outdated control scheme for AE, especially when the game has only 7 weapons and no use key
yes X is more natural to me, if I tried playing with my thumb on v and b my hand would cramp
I have to twist my wrist 45 degrees just to make that work
Hm. 
although my fingers are pretty short so maybe thats why
tbh I got through the first 3 or 4 episodes just fine on evil with the default controls
its doable, but I only started using my control scheme on my second playthrough, made weapon switching less of a hasle
the game having no use key or any special key for that matter is a huge plus
also there is no alt. fire key, I refuse to believe it exists
apparently there is an alleged weapon wheel coming in a future update? or is that Dusk? I forget...
might be dusk for the switch
i think you are right, but it is coming to PC too I believe
i donāt know why amid evil would have a weapon wheel when quick swapping is already good enough
I would definitely use it since there are too many weapons to bind to keys around WASD
in Dusk
Dusk also has a use key so thats one less bind as well
Staff of the azure orb appreciation when?
Azure Orb with soul mode is OP just like the Star of Torment
Yeah the powered mode has a bug that doubles its damage against most enemies.
I'm not complaining, though.
it is great just running forward and melting everything with it
its great, but with no soul mode the Axe is king
thats what I love, 7 great weapons is better than 9 where 2 are redundant, 2 are novelties, etc.
bug?
they sure had me fooled
I honestly figured it was as designed given the mana cost
Makes it feel worth switching to in soul mode
Half damage would still be powerful but I think it's better this way.
Default damage would be just a bit too low.
has anyone else experienced some weird mouse look lag
nope, do you have any strange settings on like VSYNC, Temporal filtering, RTX?
i dont think so
it just happens once and while or all the time?
first time
thats strange, there havent been any updates recently
happened in the crucible of pain
I blame the painmasters
then again I blame them for everything
last thing you need is mouse lag when traversing the Hall of Spikes
low framerate causes input lag in UE4 games I think
ah so he is just running the game on a toaster?
nice amid evil update
Is it me or is the platforming in Amid Evil really awkward
If you jump onto a small ledge the right way, it'll halt your vertical momentum as though the game thinks you're stepping up it
It's killed me a good few times
@bold lotus Pretty sure the server is well aware so I'm just gonna clean this up; thanks though.
you get used to it, I usually overjump ledges and then tap S right before I land. Its been such a good method that im pretty flawless with the platforming now.
Whatever works I guess
its even worse in Wrath, ledges and staircases feel like they are covered in ice
random channel activity
Games that have Rocket Monke;
Amid Evil: 
HROT: 
The answer is clear as to which game is better
they wouldn't let us put monkeys in amid evil
studio meddling is out of control these days
the monkey council
well I hope this mistake is rectified in The Black Labyrinth 
wait theres no monkey in amid evil?
can i still refund game i had it for like a year or so
No. Amid Evil is better than all of your games
I said it
Duke never had Purple Ribbon Candy as a weapon tho
fine, were even
Avg amid evil player
Big Monke puts developers down again......
I fucking hate Leon comment below if you agree
cringe!!!
1 person fucking hates Leon
Leon is an ass hole
Leon from resident evil
š¢

Damn, Le On got ownded.
why is leon not asleep

Lon
Don
Leon is the reason Alt+F4 doesn't work in ROTT 2013
alt+f4 doesn't work in a bunch of games
Unfortunately
Nothing works in rott2013 so it's fine
rott2013 what a gem
leon u r cool
Untrue, leon is body temperature
False, Leon is cold-blooded like the rest of his kind.
Honestly fuck Leon
wow š
I donāt know why
It's because Leon assaulted Jab's dad in a Kroger's parking lot once and we haven't forgiven him for it.
thats where you are wrong
40 is generally the limit if you are planning on settling down and having kids
for women the chances of birth complications increases dramatically after 40
for men virility drops by a lot after 40
cool
nah
ye you wanna be in shape to go get piss drunk with your kid and have chinese food after
^^
and dont fucking say it Perci
you are a boring guy and thats why you dont like alcohol
nah I'm fine with alcohol as of like yesterday
go smoke the silly devil lettuce perci
I aint even gonna touch that
i was mostly fine before too
Can you not
i just realized that not all people who drink together are unable to take care of themselves
saw some bad examples
just reminding you of your own mortality and the ever approaching end of your existence on this earth
:(
dont think thats a bad thing tbh considering is omnipresent in all faucets of your life
Yeah I know but still
isn't the omni redundant
i know what im saying
Yeah bro, you should almost die of alcohol poisoning like mati, that's fun and not boring
lmao I dont drink that much. I'm not polish
You're still doing plenty of mental gymnastics to justify alcohol
you dont need excuses for fun
I don't think alcohol is a bad thing but some of the associations scared the shit out of me for most of my life so far
Getting addicted to it and fucking over your health is fun
who said anything about addiction
I did
Leon mad knocking on wood rn
How much pain can I expect on Evil difficulty?
Considering I managed to not die much on hard
its aite
good difficulty
sure you'll die but if you beat it on hard it wont be that bad
It's not much harder than hard
You take 1.2x damage, most enemies have 1.25x health and soul power requires more souls
I'm pretty sure enemy and item placements are the same
Got it!
gentleman's way of playing amid evil
isn't it that on Evil enemies are even faster?
yes they're faster
they change too
since i remember seeing those green melee dudes that dash close distance super fast on Evil when i watched other people play it
Don't even think about playing Evil if you don't show enough love to your 
All in all though, 'Evil' difficulty isn't that bad, I still find it easier than Blood's 'Lightly Broiled'
between hard and evil?
yes, there are more enemies on Evil and some of them can take extra hits due to having more health (most feel the same though), for instance the Vine enemies on Sacred Path take 2 hits with the axe instead of 1. I don't notice that much change with the items, even on Evil difficulty the game is still stacked with ammo so...
I know about them having more health
I just don't know an instance where enemy/item placements differ between hard and evil
I know they differ from easy to hard
Evil has more enemies than Hard, many rooms will have a couple extra grunts or an extra heavy
I played Hard and then went straight to Evil and the increase in Enemy numbers (and the health) is the only difference I can find, items look mostly the same to me.
yeah there's more enemies, but the items don't change a lot
Question Leon.
What was the most fun to add to the game? Like, what are you the happiest with?
Also, I have a dumb idea.
Flaming burlap bag of horseshit as a melee weapon.
idk like I just really enjoy working on AE
it's the most fun thing I ever worked on
That is the correct answer.
Glad to hear you love your job, dude. That kinda passion is what keeps games fun.
I do wonder what the melee weapon for the expansion prequel will be... it has big shoes to fill since the Axe is f****** incredible
I can come up with some pretty gnarly ideas. š
Will leon add kitty to the game
Add cats as collectibles. Collecting all 99 grants you the Cat Paw melee weapon.
unless the Scythe is the melee weapon but im pretty sure thats the purple mana weapon...
@night ginkgo is the Scythe from the trailer the default melee weapon as well or is it solely the purple mana weapon and the actual melee weapon for the DLC just hasn't been revealed yet?
it replaces the aeturnum
there's a new melee š®
I don't wanna spoil it because it fucking rules lmao
it's all I use
Spoiler: It's a rusty plastic spork.
how can plastic rust
That's the funny part of it. You'll spend forever wondering and never know.
Lmao
hmm what could be cooler than an Axe that pulls enemies in... perhaps a weapon that gives you a movement ability... so many possibilities
I hope it will be gauntlets because gauntlet is the word because of which I have melee weapons bound to G in games
not that it matters
you have melee weapons bound to G? I have it on my right mouse button lol
I switch to the Axe after every battle so it makes it easy
I like to keep my binds as consistent between games as possible
...and yes the right mouse button, I play with automatic soul mode like a true champion
to each their own, I have all my bindings one key away from WASD and no further
lately I've been thinking off switching to ESDF or using WASD with fingers 3-5 instead of 2-4 because I'm trying to learn to touch type and my brain being used to WASD keeps confusing me
ESDF would be an easier switch than using 3-5 for WASD I think
like when I press buttons in games I think of the symbol on the key inevitably
I just have my blue mana weapons bound to Q & E, green mana to R & F, orange to X and purple to MMB
Some games simply don't let you change bindings, which is upsetting, but it's rare at least
there is no excuse for modern games to not have key binding options
Random idea.
uh oh
Easter Egg in Amid Evil.
If you do a set of obscenely annoying tasks, you unlock the arm of Sir Arthur Fortesque from Medi-Evil as a melee weapon.
do you wear the arm or swing it about
Swing it as a melee weapon.
I always wanted to see the arm that Mr. Wink has in Hellboy as a melee weapon in a video game

imagine punching dudes with a propelled gauntlet of a metal fist and then retracting it using chains
f**** rad
You mentioning a gauntlet made me think of the old series, Might and Magic and now I want to see a Gauntlet that shoots out fireballs when you punch with it (while at full health.)
OMG
I CRACKED IT
GUYS
The champion clearly bludgeons enemies to death with his helmet!

In hindsight, it was obvious.
The Champion has 4 eyes which makes him a nerd!!!
why champion has 4 eyes but his helmet has only two eye holes
haha filter'd
Be quiet dick kickem
Hm. I couldn't imagine why. 
be quiet captain grant
Shut up
ACTIVATE SOUL POWER
Poop out the roast
disgusting
hey guys, finished dusk and loved it, got the 100%. About to start amid evil, is there anything essential I should know before hand?
Not really
The game was designed with auto soul mode in mind
So turn it on in the settings
Otherwise gam is p straight forward
Enemies drop souls when enough are collected you are powered up
Itās like the tome of power in heretic, makes ur weps super strong.
ie all your weapons get secondary fire modes
does turning it on disable achievements or anything?
No
Itās a built in feature of the game
You will always have it
You can just turn on or off whether it activates automatically or manually
play however you want
How does Leon want to play
by avoiding starting a family
Bruh thats like fucking mean....
jab will never forgive leon
LEARN TO LOVE THE AXE #AXEGANG
is hard the hardest difficulty or is there an unlockable one?
theres secret one
there is Evil Difficulty as well, it makes enemies move faster while giving them slightly more health
in the difficulty selection level
you can go back, if you go to the top of the hub you're in right now you can go back to the difficulty select screen
If you play Evil Difficulty with Automatic Soul Mode on your first run you will be the truest Champion here
its perfectly doable though, Amid Evil is not as cruel as Blood for instance
Classic Shill Blood
hey, how can i modify controller bindings besides using steam input?
some can be changed with the input menu in game
just hit a controller button when it says 'waiting for input'
if you have trouble lemme know
gotcha. it's a little weird cause the UI only shows a single keybind per control even if both keyboard/mouse and gamepad are bound to it. figured it out from there though. thank you. š
š
i am facing trouble launching the game, can someone help?
sure, what happens?
there seems to be some aggressive occlusion culling going on. is there anything i can do about it? it's kinda distracting. my video settings are maxed out, except for AA.
https://i.imgur.com/DS6Emq7.png
https://i.imgur.com/FwATMKm.png
It's part of the engine and can't really be changed unfortunately
On the other hand... that is gorgeous-ass mace.
Yeah I made that
No wonder it reminds me of a gorgeous ass.
dang i was afraid of that. it's not bad but still noticeable, especially in darker maps.
leon
how would you react if someone made a limbo of the lost 2 and they used screenshots of amid evil for some of the environments
It says that dx11 lv10 required, i already have dx11 is it not working because my setup is kinda old?
i compelted the ultimate gamer test.....................
i finished teh secret level on EVIL...................
damn, I only found 4 of the 9 secrets in level 1
is there a button to interact, like press buttons and secret walls?
E?
Nah just bump into stuff
Amid Evil Fun Fact: Leon was so concerned about Amid Evil's summer 2019 launch being overshadowed by fellow retro FPS Wolfenstein: Youngblood that he asked Hatsu to delay the latter indefinitely.
So it was leon
No it was me

I delayed amid evil black labyrinth
Indeed I can believe that
yeah it means your GPU doesn't support the game unfortunately š¦
trash game avoided 
But he was talking about Amid Evil not ROTT 2013
Amid Evil is just ROTT 2013 with more big johns
Do 32 wee johns make 1 big john? 
leon you never answered my question about limbo of the lost
Leon is a hack fraud
Leeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooon, it's Sunday here, but you have to keep working, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Screenshot Saturday when
perhaps
its trash, you dont even shoot bullets
Maybe
why do the forges fucking suck

it just is
i should of expected this since one of the levels is called crucible of pain
cause it certainly giving me pain
omfg hahahahaha
so thats the green stuff on the floor
I didn't know this terrifying fact until I came to this channel...some things should have remained a secret...
it's ok, it's robot piss

oh ok its fine for leon to make piss memes but i drown the channel in piss memes and its a bad thing
"drown in piss" 
yes
cool double standards
Breath piss
Forges really do be divisive as fuck
I think forges look cool as hell
But its ok blame leon for it
listen you can blame: me, simmo and daniel for that
idk it does sell the whole "this place doesn't want anything to enter it" vibe very well
selling vibes is just a single part of it
Forges is the second best world imo (behind Arcane Expanse obv), the people who don't like it just don't know how to platform... sucks to be them
the platforming is like not very hard at all
tell me about it, some people struggle though, I find overshooting platforms and pressing S at the last moment pretty much lands me on even the hardest platforms every time
also as a side note, who was the primary level designer for Hexed Passage? Legit one of the best constructed levels ive seen in a video game
crucible of pain does have platforming/timing-based parts that are just best planet jumped past
planet jumping > rocket jumping
wow thank you ā¤ļø
although we are all expecting The Black Labyrinth to be the best world yet, no pressure
d/w it's fun
Hard to beat arcane expanse
hard to beat any of them
idk I really like these new levels
" We love you leon and thanks "
ftfy
the whole game good doe š¤ š¤
hey guys on the second level theres a massive soul orb underneath a metal grate does anyone know how to get it?
yeah there's a secret nearby that will lead you to it
hint ||it's under some stairs||
so i cant tell, is there a interact button like to press walls and stuff? ive tried e and f
Nope
You can only interact with buttons in levels. You interact with red ones by shooting them, and with blue ones by touching them.
^
Activate the Leon button
Is it red or is it blue
That's some next level fetishism
I want to touch him very quickly and consecutively with my fists
is it just me or does amid evil have a problem with visual clarity
game is pretty as hell, in fact it has some of the most impressive sprite works i've seen
but it's scary how often i get lost or can't tell how many enemies i'm fighting
i dont have this problem in dusk for example
I never had the issue. Enemies stand out against the background pretty well for me.
lucky you, for me they often blend with the background
In general or just enemies in specific episodes?
cant tell cause i started replaying so i dont remember how later episodes are in this matter but beating first one was kinda annoying
You might have an easier time with it in later episodes then
yeah you might be right
first episode is kinda dark for a lot of time
idk maybe ill try to turn brightness up
Yeah, there's one underground part in E1M2 that's dark but for the rest you should be able to see just fine so I'd turn up the brightness
Fiddle around with your display settings a bit. Could be an issue with how your monitor is showing colors etc
idk i never had problems with how it shows colors
i think its just amid evil because it has a lot of visual effects
what is the dest stat?
Destructible objects in the level
oh, should i be trying to break them all?
oh is there an achievement for it?
an award yes
yeah you get one the first time you do it in a level
it's very likely you'll get it by accident if you smash random shit just every now and then
Boss levels don't tend to have a lot of shit to destroy
im so bad at finding secrets in this
They aren't really necessary
Unless you're playing warrior mode, which gets ultra hard without any secret weapons
h
I wouldn't worry about it, you only need to find all the secrets in 1 level to get the achievement which you can go back and do after beating the game
yeah I just like finding them but i dont know how to look in this game
i want to hug the mages of the arcane expanse. is that possibly a misguided desire?
I hear they will give you a whole eclipse if you try and hug them, very nice lads they are
hugging walls, looking under arches/stairs and looking up (sometimes at the ceiling) can help
I like the fact that Amid Evil has no stupid secrets like wall pushing, they are always hidden in plain sight on platforms, behind stairs, or on hard to see paths
thats cool i just cant see them cause im blind lmao
I got all the dusk secrets easy, i think the fact that there is no interact throws me off
no
the fact that there is no interact button and only 7 weapons means its also really easy to bind your weapons around WASD instead of 1-7
makes the game more enjoyable to do so imo
blue mana on Q & E, green mana on R & F, orange mana on X... wouldnt be able to do that if there was stuff like an interact or reloading button
Where is leon
why
...is Leon 
who,what,where,why,how is leon
leon is leon, leon... is leon, leon's... where the leon is, no reason for leon, leon's sad probably

hi leon
bye leon
that is me rn
Everybody asks where is Leon but nobody asks how is Leon
Who is Leon? A New Zealandish game developer!
What is Leon? A NB collaborator!
Where is Leon? On this channel!
When is Leon? Right now!
Why is Leon?
"new zealandish" lmao
we actually call ourselves kiwis
"Kiwi" ( KEE-wee) is a common self-reference used by New Zealanders, though it is also used internationally. Unlike many demographic labels, its usage is not considered offensive; rather, it is generally viewed as a symbol of pride and endearment for the people of New Zealand. The name derives from the kiwi, a native flightless bird, which is a ...
Hm. Random idea.
Just shows how chill kiwis are, everyone else finds nicknames offensive but they just embrace it
Doom Stick has a 1/10,000 chance to launch a white dwarf star instead of a planet/sun.
1/1,000,000 chance to launch the stick holder backwards instead
If the doom stick can launch the earth then it could launch our sun
so basically a 1/10,000 chance of launching a dead star that does little damage?
I don't think you know what a white dwarf star is.
might as well just have a 1/10,000 chance of launching a black dwarf that literally does no damage at all
A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. A white dwarf is very dense: its mass is comparable to that of the Sun, while its volume is comparable to that of Earth.
while the density is comparable, the heat/light output is not
What if the doom stick launches a star thatās about the collapse 
It doesn't need to have heat or light output when it detonates on impact.
Youāre essentially launching a supernova
Yeah.
well it would have to expand before it collapses if its a regular sized star, would be a cool visual
im in favour of the black dwarf, it would be like throwing a really dense mud pie at an enemy
Carbon detonation or Carbon deflagration is the violent reignition of thermonuclear fusion in a white dwarf star that was previously slowly cooling. It involves a runaway thermonuclear process which spreads through the white dwarf in a matter of seconds, producing a Type Ia supernova which releases an immense amount of energy as the star is blow...
that would be cool
