Gameplay of dusk monsters on heretic while running doosk.

Well, according to david on a stream, the chompers would fly if out of water, and there are no true lostsoul/hereticimp equivalents, so...
I've added code to block their attack if farther than 256 units though, so they won't attack at distance, and added a timer to chomper attacks, which should prevent spam attacks :P

Quick question: What GPUs are you guys running? Not sure what the average boomer shooter player is running on 🙂 How does Amid Evil run for you personally on ultra 1080p?
(doing some optimization passes on sprawl now that we have a huge level created)

Speaking of which here are some messy screenshots of Sprawl's "retro" mode, Going to implement a paletteisation shader at some point but open to feedback already, this isnt the main way we're designing the game though.
Two more cause trying to show diff scenarios
open for feedback 🙂

honestly i dont think it does the great art you guys have any justice
it reads less retro and more "low end pc" to my eye
wraith beacon
Been a while since I did some work on TTR.
Am currently rewriting the typing system to no longer be UMG text box based.
Decoupling it from text boxes is going to allow it to y'know, not have so many weird bugs and else cases.

wraith beacon
Me neither.
unique trellis
i didn't even know this exists
coarse token
@keen bear not sure I agree tbh, doesn't look low end, looks retro to me. Making games "look retro" intentionally has a very distinct feeling compared to actually oldschool graphics imo, which really is just because we can't perfectly replicate that old feel. The result is you get that mix of high end art transformed into a nostalgiac pixelated style
keen bear
yeah i just dont think it contains any of the qualities you describe there
it doesnt look particularly intentional, which lines up with the reality they stated
hence this isnt the main way we're designing the game though.
unique trellis
<@!80996751888089088> not sure I agree tbh, doesn't look low end, looks retro to...
Hrot is pretty close
coarse token
Just looking at those above posted images doesn't make me think "old." I don't get that feeling from it
unique trellis
Its just a neat art style
keen bear
it looks like a brazilian with a potato pc trying to run a game it cant handle
coarse token
Maybe my opinion on the matter isn't relevant then, cuz I like that look tbh. I prefer completely solid high contrast colours in games because it lets me experience the game more so than the art.
unique trellis
Alright
keen bear
i dont think those qualities have anything to do with what im saying
coarse token
My point is I don't mind the "crappy brazillian potato pc" look
keen bear
have you looked at screens of that game outside of retro mode?
unique trellis
looks like lost in vivo's weird warpy effects but scaled down a lot
keen bear
because its just what you described, but without the low resolution
the detail served in their assets greatly outstrips the resolution happening here
proven yoke
I agree that based on those screenshots it looks more low-end than retro
coarse token
I'm hard pressed to explain what I mean without an example. Are you familiar with kovaak's aim trainer at all?
coarse token
Then you know how you can make everything super high contrast and low visual complexity right? The lower the visual complexity the better for me- and that image produces far less detail. It's less about the "quality" and more about the way I can handle all the info
keen bear
yeah, the problem here is that it doesnt decrease visual complexity
if anything the retro mode here increases it
it introduces a bunch of visual noise because its not authored for that resolution
its like downscaling
ancient sail
Its not, it’s mostly a novelty
coarse token
If dusk looked like this I'd be happy.
The more easy to pick out a single detail the better
keen bear
particularly egregious in areas like this
unique trellis
Is that the pit lol

ancient sail
Real good conversation too btw!!!

coarse token
nah lol that's kovaak's aim trainer lol.
keen bear
where you lose so much detail, that theres too much visual noise
and it becomes hard to read whats going on
wraith beacon
I find most of the noise from pixelisation is more of a temporal thing.
hazy sorrel
its way too detailed for "retro"
hazy sorrel
looks like high fidelity scaled down
keen bear
you can see theres meant to be a lot of detail in that door frame
but its lost to just "dropped visual data" essentially
keen bear
because its just downscaled essentially
i think their art is great
and this just kind of serves to make it look less great
ancient sail
Thanks as always 😉
keen bear
the palletization filter mentioned may help that a lot
as it will reduce visual detail by crunching the colors
ancient sail
This look is a total novelty rather than anything were targeting seriously
keen bear
but even still, some of the assets are authored at such a fidelity that is disparate from the sort of "time period accurate" feel youd want
and yeah i totally understand that @ancient sail
just offering a serious feedback for you to consider
i like the look of the game in its intended style
its coming together great
ancient sail
I totally agree, this looks very noisey
coarse token
I'll leave my take at this- If a game's graphics can be simplified to make it easier to discern a single object, (eg a player coming around a wall in a duel), then I like it because I personally will optimize the primary visual stimulation out of a game if it means I can play said game more effectively. I feel like "retro mode"s often help me to do that.
make all the character models in dusk solid colour capsules lol
keen bear
yeah, i think thats totally valid
but a pixelization filter in this case doesnt help achieve that
if anything it muddies the image
like theres an enemy here
you can barely see him
keen bear
right but its nowhere close to what you describe
its not high contrast, and resolution would make it much easier to see
coarse token
The placebo effect is strong. I played competitive team fortress 2 for a few years, in it there is a weapon called the "iron bomber" and people talked about how it was "easier to hit enemies with." I knew this wasn't technically true at all, but I let myself live under the impression that it was and I saw a noticable increase in kills (strange items in tf2 record kills, so I know that to be true.) My point is I perform better in DUSK with the pixelation turned up to 8
unique trellis
idk chief those have some pretty big differences in hitboxes 
but yeah, placebo is strong
coarse token
Cool, in any case, placebo still strong
That's weird though lol
loose cannon bombs have same hitbox as pipes lmao, why is the tiniest projectile the largest one
unique trellis
i just like some crispiness in games, mostly dusk & ultrakill
if there was a middle ground between 144p & 36p downscaling for ultrakill, i'd happily use it
I like making dos games look like dos games and games trying to imitate dos games also look like dos games
I play doom and quake at 320 by 200
and dusk at 4x

indigo olive
Also to clarify, this isnt a filter we apply, we are literally turning some rendering features off and dropping the internal resolution of the engine.
Slight semantics 😉 real perf gain if people want it
shader based approaches are ironically slower than full res 😂
true forge
indigo olive
<@!80996751888089088> not sure I agree tbh, doesn't look low end, looks retro to...
Also we technically can but at the expense of modern rendering, you cant design a game to look good with modern rendering then have a few settings yto look like quake, you need to build the entire game around looking specifically retro accurate
For example this being done in UE4 by completely replacing the built in pixel lights with psx style vertex lighting and strict texture limits
keen bear
and even then, its kind of overdetailed
indigo olive
That's just down to the artist not that it can't be done
dim cedar
That's just down to the artist not that it can't be done
Hey, I think the retro mode looks awesome and honestly it's fine as long as it's an optional setting right? I liked what Dusk did where you could adjust the amount of pixelization to your liking, maybe go for something like that?
keen bear
what they did is objectively smarter, using the real resolution
dusk had a filter instead
which again, hannah is right, is a performance drag

was looking into ways to decompile golsource maps when i stumbled upon this https://github.com/wootguy/bspguy a entity editor for maps without having to decompile them
decompiling in gold source is mess broken mess typpiccally
they do what amounts to backface culling and remove all brush data from the maps file after compile
either way it makes my chapter select mod infinitely easier.

decompiling in gold source is mess broken mess typpiccally
Decompiling Quake 1 & GoldSrc maps in general is an extremely difficult process because unlike Quake 2 and Quake 3, the original brushes aren't stored in the map

Massively exaggerated effect since there will be a 50-100m sphere around the player where AI always processes but demo of how AI will wake up if it's rendered in the previous frame.
All of this got us to using less of a 3rd of the time to process AI and no frame spikes. I will be able to chop off another sizable chunk of time optimising the behaviour tree itself to do this calculation itself and not in a decorator when we move to a custom Unreal version.
candid dawn
@indigo olive looks good! out of curiosity what optimizations do you need custom engine to implement?
indigo olive
Well right now this is implemented using a conditional decorator at the top of each AI's individual behaviour tree, however for some reason it's takeing a lot of time to "search" the tree each frame. I could easily edit the behavior tree component itself to do this check before even processing the tree itself if I had a custom engine version
Nothing stopping us from moving to a custom engine version other than I dont wanna deal with disributing the files to the other developer and writing all the scripts to keep them in sync 😂
We'll move to one eventually
candid dawn
Ah interesting. Is it not possible to make child of behavior tree component?
@indigo olive
indigo olive
It would be but there is more code that interfaces with that component directly vs say a charactermovementcomponent
The engine automatically adds a bt component itself when it needs one, I've yet to investigate if I can just work aroun that
regardless, the path of least resistance would be to put that check in the existing code and call it a day xD
also some components dont take well to being subclassed to override some functions.
I rememebr trying to fix a collision issue with the engine but could only do it by modifying sauce code of the enging so I'm just keeping that fix till we do that
subclassing the capsule class had a bunch of complications due to how messy the original was coded (I'm sure they had their reasons but god it's not fun)

Making a grenade launcher in ZScript wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it'd be.
So I guess that means I've split four of the original Doom weapons into "concentrated fire" and "crowd control" variants.
Pistol gets split into a light but fast handgun with a burst fire mode, and an eight-round revolver that's inaccurate when repeatedly fired, but insta-gibs the lowest tier creatures.
Shotgun splits into a full-auto street sweeper with poor accuracy, and a slower pump-action with a nice, tight choke.
Chaingun gets a 100-rd submachine gun that annihilates weaker crowds, and a 40-rd assault rifle that hits hard from any distance.
And lastly, the rocket launcher is turned into a one-shot recoilless rifle with a high explosive round that flies fast and hits like a fucking freight train, and a six-round pump-action grenade launcher that doles out less concentrated punishment over wider areas.
That leaves the plasma rifle and BFG. Now I'm stumped. 😟

Hey developers, do you have any tips for pitching a game? I have a design document I've been itching to prototype, and I'd love an excuse to make it happen (not necessarily with New Blood, but I think it would be a good fit).
lean gyro
why would you need an excuse
candid dawn
@drifting badge how I got a publisher was sharing gifs on reddit and twitter and they reached out to me. It will be good to have a design doc for when they start talking to you. But it took a good year of devving til i had anything worth showing.
analog pollen
the most important part of pitching a game is to display that you're capable of actually making the game you're pitching, so if you haven't made a name for yourself or don't have a track record of finishing games yet, you'll probably need to get a fair bit of legwork done before publishers will take much interest
i never even wrote a game design document for ULTRAKILL, i just sent dave playable builds cause i felt that's a better way to make him understand what the game is and that i'm capable of making it
i haven't made many pitches though so take my words with a grain of salt still

We've made this neat HUD shader for Sprawl that gives me the warm fuzzy nostalgia for VFDs on VCRs from the 90s 😄
lean gyro
Ooh, cozy colors.
brazen copper
That is cozy
lean gyro
Doesn't quite give me that VFD feel, though. Part of the "cool" factor of old VFDs is they way they seem to punch through the dark filter placed over them, glowing bright while still appearing nice and flat.
Like those old VFD gauges on 80's luxury cars.
indigo olive
yeee, I thought about that but I didnt really wanna have a black filter placed over parts of the screen
it's also a kinda crt VFD hybrid thingy
makes 0 sense
gives me the fuzzies
lean gyro
Well, the CRT thing changes everything. I was gonna say you could try it without the scanlines and making the glow a bit more subtle and uniform, but mixing the two would make that rather pointless. :v
It's a nice effect either way, though.
I've actually been messing around on and off with some HUD design myself, though it's extremely unfinished and purely aesthetic--no practical application yet. Wanna see it?
indigo olive
Yeah that would be neat 😮
Yeah we're just going for what looks cool to us atm xD
It's just a shader we can mess with later applied over crisp graphics so we can always go faithful VFD later if we decide
lean gyro
I'm going for a 2001:ASO, pre-LCD flat screen look. Just doing it Doom-style, thinking of using it in a mod. Very unfinished, missing stuff.
Just sort of playing around with different ways of doing the "screens" right now.
lean gyro
I had a previous version somewhere built for 4:3, which is probably what I'm going to revert back to. 🥴
indigo olive
We're designing the hud to fid all the way down to a 1:1 aspect ratio
lean gyro
Yeah, here it is. I think I like this style better. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/434792076593332224/549681819956543488/unknown.png

and it centers on ultrawides and wider screens
so that you dont have your ammo off in the corners of your screen
brazen copper
Nice
lean gyro
I just can't do any practical HUD programming, in ZScript or anything else.
So it's all just Photoshop fuckery right now.
I really like the 1:1 idea, though.
indigo olive
You'll get there 😄
indigo olive
HUD implementation: Yeah
Pistol redesign: Yeah
Pistol blowing heads off: Fuck yeah
lean gyro
What about some kind of a diegetic HUD background?
Something low-key, maybe shaped like one of those old radar detectors with a VFD screen. Slim rectangle with rounded plastic edges, a thin black border, and the screen inside.
Damn it, I wish I had Photoshop with me right now.
lean gyro
Looks nice to me. Should help keep the HUD distinct from the background in pretty much any case.
lean gyro
Stylish.

With GZdoom 4.6 they are pushing to make the engine more optimized.
Theyre doing a pretty good job on that actually
And a lot of Doom mods simply don't care about optimization, thats on them.

white ore
total chaos is a mod for a 20+ year old game
It really isn't. That's like saying Titanfall 2 runs on a 20 year old engine.
GZDoom has been updating the engine for years, you can almost consider it a modern engine at this point.
I personally think GZDoom isn't as poorly optimized as most people make it out to be (not saying there isn't any room for improvement, though). It is often the modders who just shove a ton of things into their mods without spending time to ensure that things run smoothly.
Thankfully, there are also a good amount of mods who do care about making it run on older systems.
coarse token
I mean, I guess that's fair to an extent, but that doesn't mean it is any less impressive what we can do with all the work people put into developing it; my point here is that it's still pretty wild in any event
I can run okuplok on gzdoom fine, I feel like that is sort of as much optimization as you need
white ore
It is impressive! It looks awesome and the art direction is on point. I just dont want people to convince everyone that it runs in 25 year old tech. That just isn't the case.
coarse token
actually now that I think about it I remember being able to barely run okuplok with brutal doom
I was curious whether it would start even
white ore
One of the reasons is because Brutal Doom is written like spaghetti and takes up far more memory and CPU usage than necessary. Every demon has multiple hit boxes that keep respawning with each tic, a large map will completely kill your performance.
Its a good mod but good grief, the way its coded.
unique trellis
i remember someone was trying to play a map with project brutality and as soon as they shot it alerted every single monster in the entire map & crashed the game lmao
im not even sure why or how, but it's probably fixed now
unique trellis
PB is a terribly assembled mod.
That happended because they have a gigaton of monster varieties every one with small tiny differences that are all loaded at once once they go from dormant to awake.
That aside, GZDoom might have added new tech but it has not brought over any of the modern game engine optimization.
There is not even an inch of multuthreading and in fact it chugs hard with more demanding mods.
white ore
Multi-threading would be a massive gamechanger if it happens. Who knows, one of the goals with 4.6 is performance improvements so fingers crossed.

I have a theory. Idle monsters update their hitboxes at a relatively slow rate. But once they start moving, it happens at every single tick. I recall some monsters having hitboxes around their legs, arms and head, so thats a lot of stuff to update 35 times a second.

I have answered to that just above if you see

A quick draft of an intro blurb for my Retro FPS uni project.
It won't make too much sense given the separation from context of all the proper nouns, but feedback is still greatly appreciated:
It is known to all subjects Breogán that we have, and always will be, naught but servants of they who walk the skies. To insinuate the contrary is to invite the venomous influences of the undercurrents and, consequently, a Desolation Flood of a magnitude to douse even the Sun.
Iscariot Saoirseoir – You have been decreed guilty of committing acts of heretical expression and almighty treason. Such crimes deem you undeserving of the merciful release of execution, nor the sequestered peace of life imprisonment.
You will meet your excruciating and humiliating release on the grounds of the Arena Suaiteacht. The Gracious Peons of the One who treads the skies will be your appointed executioners. Fight as you may, but your efforts to survive will be for nought but the pleasure of the masses.
Your demise is inevitable.
All will embrace salvation.
Praise be to the Overrealm.

Can I give some feedback on the demo?
topaz breach
I like it but I have 2 big problems
1 is that the character control is pretty slippery. I get that it's so it's fast paced and fluid feeling but the demo's level design doesn't compliment that super well, especially with the platforming
2 is that I don't think there's enough contrast between the enemies and the environment, they can be very difficult to see when it gets dark
rare surge
the character movement was actually overhauled about halfway through making the level which is part of that issue
where do you feel its worst and ill take a look at those sections of level
and 2 is ez ill just bump up the brightness on enemy textures
it might be the games brightness on your end aswell which is a setting i need to add
also as a temporary fix use the second mask
increases your friction and lowers speed massively
topaz breach
okay, turning post processing off makes it much brighter
the biggest problem areas for me were near the start, the climb up the tower and the jump up to the bridge for the secret area.
rare surge
i think ill introduce interactables before the tower climb then just have a ladder
solar inlet
Couple things I would like to throw in. It is very very annoying that you jump away from the direction of slopes
topaz breach
I was about to mention that bgb
in this area, it can be a little difficult to get out because your jump is based on player z instead of world z
solar inlet
stairs just jerk you upward and it is very jarring
topaz breach
the kick is very satisfying, and the crossbows feel good
rare surge
im still trying to figure out where that screenshot actually is lol
im on phone so cant check in editor
and what would you suggest would make it feel less jarring
rare surge
ill get on that tomorrow
stairs should be slopes anyway since it makes it better for the navmesh
topaz breach
the only issue is if you want to include any spiral stairs
rare surge
model the slope spiral in blender ig
i think having a 'walk' modifier that slows movement and disables slope physics should help the finnickiness

@keen bear you made me think about something with that comment- should trailers showcase the most entertaining part of the game? For example, DOOM Eternal's trailers didn't come anywhere close to showcasing the most fun part of combat, it applied to a general audience. I know that's typically the goal but I think I'd appreciate trailers that show me what, within reason, the skill ceiling looks like. Perhaps it depends on the audience your game is targeted at- a quakelike arena shooter without highlights won't even get off the ground
keen bear
in general, it needs to be readable by people who do not already know the game mechanics. spectacle is good, but dont obfuscate it behind extremely complicated movements and tech
like you said, high level play is good, but keep it to a level where its understandable
as an example
note how most of the movements in this trailer are slow and sweeping
there are a few twitch/flick shots
but what you want to avoid is precise microadjustments that destroy clarity

For me? Just making sure he is varied enough to counter my player. My player is so fast and agile, he needed to have attacks to push the player beyond their normal comfortable movement.

Even after all that work, GOD knows if players will be engaging with him the way I want them to. Testing testing testing, I guess.

What I liked about NuDoom was the emphasis on pushing forward, which was rendered easier with the health gains and Glory Kills.
Hot damn it's awesome. 😄
Anyway, I plan to do the same thing for DOOM Eternal. Just waiting on some weapon sprites right now. 😄
I'm not much of a digital artist (I have done a bit of editing to some of the sprites, though), so I gotta rely on others to create sprites.
Fortunately, I got myself a whole team together. They loved the project so much, they wanted to contribute any way they could. 😄
I've learned so much from developing EOA and from studying DOOM (2016) that I've got all sorts of neat tricks I can apply to game design once I get around to making my own game. 😉
(That's another thing... for about 3 years, I hadn't played a LICK of DOOM (2016), I based the mod completely off of observation and questions I asked of people who played the game.)
Is that why you started making this mod
I started making the mod 'cuz I wanted to experience DOOM (2016) in the old games.
'Cuz the other mods around weren't doin' it for me.
Neat
