i really can't wait for the game to release

#

i'm addicted to the 40 min demo

vestal star
#

40 min?

thorny flint
#

if you do stealth it's about 40 mins

#

from what i've figured

vestal star
#

really slow stealth maybe

#

I mean probably could be as a first time playthrough on stealth

thorny flint
#

yeahhh

#

that was mine

#

i'm not good at fast stealth

vestal star
#

ey don't worry about it there is no fast stealth

thorny flint
#

you'er right

#

you're^

#

i'm a total schmuck for speed

Oh, so that's why the town is called Switchblade City

#

It's definetly more Warriors than Scarface when it comes to gang violence

#

Longest demo time I've seen is 2 hours

vestal star
#

ye gods

#

why was it so long?

next oyster
#

Probably trying to stealth and find everything

vestal star
#

ah, fair enough

next oyster
#

Probably also read all the lore notes

looks like a 100 round drum he´s got on that tommygun ... believe it or not they did make them

dawn bluff
#

holy shit you're right-

#

that's incredible

#

although I'm not sure it'd be practical if you didn't intend on hipfire the entire time

wheat needle
#

The drum mags on tommy guns were impractical. They ditched them by the time WW2 was underway.

dawn bluff
#

sucks

#

just make it belt fed

#

and carry the belt over your shoulder

warped vector
#

Round drums were prone for getting stuck, jamming in and leaving those using it in serious danger

#

Thats why Thompsons in WW2 were cartridge fed

next oyster
#

Yeah but they don't look nearly as cool

warped vector
#

No they dont, you made the right choice with the Drum fed route

thorny flint
#

gangsters also used them due to how practical they were for intimidating

the m1928 is a cartridge fed sub machine gun by a stick magazine or a 50, or 100 round drum

Gunfire is generally not ideal for stealth missions

jade quartz
#

I always wanted a fake tommy gun

#

Like a prop

#

Would be cool

dawn bluff
#

what if you got a real tommy gun instead?

jade quartz
#

Nah

#

A prop would be more fun to have

dawn bluff
#

why not a real one?

ah the 50's

when no one gave a shit about anything

fading plover
#

for better or worse

dawn bluff
#

for worse

#

they put lead in gasoline back in the day

#

hell it's said half of the US population has a lower IQ today because of that

#

You gotta be at least 70

#

wow that went dark real quick

warped vector
#

Wait nevermind, i read that wrong. I thought i saw an "I" at the start of your phrase

fading plover
#

no way in hell i am that old

#

but as an added note there's an episode of the dick van dyke show (made in the early 60s) where the kid actor's got a toy tommy gun

#

and nobody bats an eye towards it

dawn bluff
#

yes

Just played the demo

#

Throwing trash cans at mooks are my favorite things to do now

#

Oh and running the guarding mooks over with the tram car too

dawn bluff
#

what will the civilians sound like?

#

will they be as annoying as the civilians from Blood?

karmic sequoia
#

I won't call them civilians and more like running meat bags

jade quartz
#

I just hope Joe Pesci doesn't kill me in Fallen Aces

warped vector
#

You kidding me? Being killed by Joe Pesci is an honor

jade quartz
#

Getting shot by Joe Pesci is an honor

#

No one will know if I was killed by him

#

Cause i'd disappear

fading plover
#

i wonder if crossing the street will become a hazard in areas with a ton of civilians and therefore cars

Mike has to shout I’M WALKIN HERE to not be hit

Just played through the Fallen Aces Demo, and I finally understand why there's a rank called Mook

#

I like to think of them as what Mike thinks they are in his head. Goon, Mook, Thug, Palooka

Dusk HD Crossbow and HL1 M4 lookin ass.

#

But I like the name so I'll try it out.

next oyster
#

Nobodys asses are fat in aces. Because everyone is flat

dawn bluff
#

either mike has no ass at all or he has lung problems with cigarettes cuz he can't run for that very long

thorny flint
#

and ofc, i write my own music too, hope to be as good as you one day

mighty folio
#

How hard would it be to put our detective buddy in ultra kill?

#

Or other way around how about we put our robot fren in noir land

shy void
mighty folio
#

Lamo.

#

Can we have the quarter flip in fallen aces or is that too much to ask?

karmic sequoia
#

Maybe not

#

Fallen Aces is its own game, I want it to follow its own style
Though some V1 reference or a coin flipping as a tone will be fine by me

dawn bluff
#

there already is one in the demo

karmic sequoia
#

Fair I must have been very focused on the mission

dawn bluff
#

probably

mighty folio
#

Yeah thinking about it now the whole game is about using your environment to your advantage

#

All the stuff you can throw and use just using guns is an after thought

#

But why do so many mooks use lead pipes. No wonder the boss got killed you come after a jacked dude with a pipe after he threw your friend into a trolley car

karmic sequoia
#

They no have enough cash to buy a gun

#

Also lead pipe is ouchie enough

dawn bluff
#

also guns are illegal in Umburgh

dawn bluff
#

makes the world feel more like an actual place and not just a medium to make gameplay fun

karmic sequoia
#

I love how it's still illegal considering how many mooks are there in the city

#

There're some even igniting the whole neighborhood out of random

dawn bluff
#

probably because the owner didn't pay protection money

#

Umburgh was nicknamed ''Switchblade city'' because of it's increase in crime

#

so I assume store owners would pay gangs to protect their store

#

for a fee of course

karmic sequoia
#

Imagine going to your store and ask for a weapon because of a random guy decimating your whole gang
And they give you lead pipe

dawn bluff
#

sounds like a deal

#

depends on the price

#

guy from kingpin paid like 1$ for a pipe

karmic sequoia
#

Hmm yes, a pipe, I'm sure that's enough to deal with that guy who threw all of the front guards into a tram car and kill them mercilessly

I look forward to seeing them used more in the full game so it doesn’t just feel like detective doom guy

dawn bluff
#

the game alreadyy does lol

#

have you not played the demo yet?

mighty folio
#

I tried. But it couldn’t run on my 20 dollar lap top. Run well I mean

dawn bluff
#

ah I see

#

that sucks

#

demo is reaaly fun

mighty folio
#

Yee

next oyster
#

Yeah it has stealth

weary dust
#

i’ve been speedrunning it

mighty folio
# next oyster Yeah it has stealth

Oh good. I was worried for a second. I meant to say I’m looking forward to seeing how stealth will be used in the full game. I mean one could simply make it a whole beat ‘em up game but stealth in a doom like game gets me excited.

#

Oh neat. I mostly past the first parts then it turned into an all out brawl

strange schooner
#

One thing that helped me provide realism is the fact that I used to work with concert bands and orchestras so I know when the horns and winds take a breath, how the instruments function, and so forth. If only I can get a library that does James Bond brass, I'll be golden

I loved the Fallen Aces demo, and the other day I started Forgive me Father, which at the beginning of the game there is a few playing cards on a table and if you interact with them the character goes "Fallen Aces?" I figure it's a reference but it made me go 😮

#

I have seen zero gameplay, just...that

tranquil bough
#

What else do you need

karmic sequoia
untold imp
#

yep

karmic sequoia
#

Fallen Aces is like that
Except, it's crime-fighting comic style takes place in the '90s noir

untold imp
#

with immersive sim energy?

karmic sequoia
#

Immersive sim energy?

tranquil bough
#

Yes

untold imp
#

it said levels are non-linear so

karmic sequoia
#

Yes

#

You can enter stealthily through vents or bust right through the front door

#

You can sneakily knock out mooks from behind or kick them straight in front of moving tram car and watch them bloodily explode

#

You can attack them with hands head-on or throw a peeled banana on the ground and watch them slip

#

You can actively try to find and rescue the target or sit down and hear a man shitting for 5 minutes straight

untold imp
karmic sequoia
#

Yes

#

You can totally do that

Just tried the Fallen Aces demo for the first time and got destroyed but loved it 10/10

I'ma try it sometime

#

Literally only like 68 mb

mighty folio
#

Ohhh bet

#

I have created some free time away from my fan project

#

I will have to try it

pseudo swift
#

Fair warning it’s pretty difficult

#

Or I’m just bad

#

One of the two

mighty folio
#

It's probably just balls hard for the dedicated new blood fans

pseudo swift
#

I respect that

mighty folio
#

Yeah same, hard games are good games

it would be funny if we can throw our weapon (pistol or things like that) on the ennemies when it's empty ChadMike

flint kraken
#

you can

#

i think

dawn bluff
#

yes you can

#

when you gun is broken, you can either drop it or throw it away at an enemy

next oyster
#

You can throw it whenever you want.

warped vector
#

What if the enemy grabs the gun and starts shooting with it?

#

"It's all in the reflexes"

fading plover
#

that could be a sick idea actually

#

what if you could throw an empty gun and it would confuse them for a second

#

and then maybe the higher levels of a certain enemy type wouldn't fall for it

#

like the purple mooks for example
