oh nice

valid shale
#

The guitar guy doesn't seem to have a strap

#

Immersion ruined

plush estuary
#

who needs a strap?

#

who needs to put a strap on?

valid shale
#

Anyway I hope he'll have a strap sometime

#

Or idk maybe he doesn't actually want to play it

plush estuary
#

urgh i feel like we have to wait almost half a year before a demo is considered

tough drum
#

It'll be worth it in the end.

sly hedge
#

remember that this end of the year will be a very busy one.... and also... there is another NB projects closer... Some more Gloomy ones....so time will pass faster I think. Anyway I hope things go faster now.

next oyster
#

Look at it this way. Now that we are onboard with Newblood, we can work on the game farrr faster than we ever could just by ourselves. So if anything, you are getting a demo "sooner" with them being involved.

tough drum
#

Yep and NB are quite reliable as a publisher too.

#

At least that's the impression I get.

next oyster
#

who knows how long it would have taken with just Jason and I. If at all.

open dome
#

@next oyster yeah, now you just have to deal with a scope 10x the size of your original scope!
laugh

plush estuary
next oyster
#

That was already a thing tho...We already knew we gonna be ballsdeep in this thing midway through getting the build to you guys lol

plush estuary
open dome
#

just wait for your dave crits

"it'd be cool if you could like - drive the cars and shit"
pain

next oyster
#

Oh right. I forgot about crazy Dave

open dome
#

the game you make in the end is also 10x cooler tho

tough drum
#

Make that an NPC in the game, "Crazy Dave" who just stands there babbling about things. XD

plush estuary
#

no, heavy breathing down your neck every now and then, you could've sworn it was somebody

#

and then halfway through the campaign

#

you hear "needs a little more culty stuff"

#

in your right ear

sly hedge
#

so @open dome Gloomwood will be 10x cooler than the demo? What is going to be? The original Deus Ex of our times? 😄

tough drum
#

And when you turn around, have a sting like the one when the protagonists in Halloween thought they saw/heard Myers.

plush estuary
#

now you're getting it!

open dome
#

@sly hedge nah, it's 10x cooler than the game you guys would have gotten without NewBlood. The demo is a lot cooler because of NewBlood.

plush estuary
#

bless 'em

rich abyss
#

I'm glad Trey has succeeded on his quest to join NB and become the 8th Szymanski brother!

tough drum
#

NB just keeps on growing.

plush estuary
#

the id software of our generation....?

sly hedge
#

NB, the new Disney of indiedevs 😄

rich abyss
#

They're gonna be as big as devolver in a few years at this rate

tough drum
#

Oh and if Trey is okay with it, I'm just gonna leave a Steam link for that horror game called Conscript that I talked about earlier here.

#

Its a game that'd be nice to see in NB's catalogue too.

next oyster
#

I seen things for it, looks sweet

tough drum
#

Tried out the demo for it during the summer festival and it was great. 🙂

#

Also, JD will be releasing a new version of the demo next month too.

next oyster
#

Shout out to anybody who caught me Sandman Mystery Theater as a reference for Fallen Aces. If you read the comic, then you are automatically cool.

red condor
#

Hey Trey I'm going to need you to scope creep by at least 200%

next oyster
#

There is like scope creep every day

red condor
#

Too bad, the scope must creep.

next oyster
#

Then I get comments like "Yeah that's cool but when can Mike huff his own farts?"

celest wadi
#

Yeah that's cool but when can Mike huff his own farts?

next oyster
red condor
#

Yeah that's cool but when can Mike's farts huff Mike?

#

Also when're we getting sandwich physics?

next oyster
#

There "could" be sandwhich physics.

red condor
#

Cool. now I'm just going to need a sandwich making minigame

#

I now expect this game to be a spiritual successor to Total Distortion.

#

If it isn't one then I will not consume this product.

plush estuary
#

holy shit my wallet's gonna be empty

#

thinking of buying the sandman mystery theatre comics you just talked about

grand flicker

celest wadi
#

Total Distortion is an absolute acid trip of a game

tough drum
#

Been watching let's plays and playthroughs of it over the years, quite the crazy 90's game there.

#

Wish it'd get a re-release on GOG.

red condor
#

Didn't the lead dev of Total Distortion disown it or something?

patent kestrel
#

unironically one thing I really like about new blood

#

is the collaborative efforts and inter-team assistance stuff

odd tusk
#

same, I'd love to join the NB family one day lol

paper meteor
#

If I knew how to make games I'd agree lol

plush estuary
#

feelscringe same here

atomic forge
#

If you want to do it, the only way to start is to stop thinking about it and start doing it. There are a ton of easily available resources these days.

next oyster
#

^^^

odd tusk
#

tho it's a student project

#

and I need to learn how to program

next oyster
#

You don't really have to have tech knowledge, although that really helps. But study and understand game design, play games you love and figure out how they tick. Experiment and fail often.

#

I have no programming skill whatsoever but I know how the game will play and what is needed to make it feel fun.

severe blade
#

wait so trey you just do the art then?

#

i still have no clue what the dev dynamic for FA is

next oyster
#

I do the art, story, dialogue music direction and project oversite. As a designer I figure out how the maps will be set up, how the weapons and mechanics will work and feel. Jason does the grunt work by doing the actual programming and testing to see if those mechanics work well or not, when they do we polish them until they feel right.

#

I'll help with level design and art direction as well. But figuring out how your game is gonna play, your scope, and how to balance all your mechanics is important.

severe blade
#

roger so its mostly a two man team then?

next oyster
#

Yes, but we get tons of help from newblood by getting feedback on things but also asking them questions about programming or design that we aren't certain on.

odd tusk
#

that's really great

severe blade
#

yeye i getchu, there was a lot of cross help between the devs when i was QA, glad to see that still going

#

anyway thanks for clearing up some things for me

next oyster
#

Newblood also comes up with suggestions for gameplay and things. That's why Dillon mentioned scope creep cuz we all suggest ideas for one another's games.

#

It's kind of a "You scratch my back, I scratch yours..." type of thing. For example, I come up with character designs and concepts for Gloomwood and give ideas for character's or small story things related to art.

plush estuary
#

ah so that's why you guys are so chill together

#

wholesome, needed this

rich abyss
#

It's like a family except the dad is the cult leader

plush estuary
#

FarCry5 vibes

#

wait, that's brothers

#

i like the idea of a bromance

#

everyone here's just bros

#

even the girls

#

it's just fun seeing devs meme on each other or share ideas on this server

paper meteor
#

In the event I were to try and get a game published by New Blood, would I also be able to bring other people as a part of a team?

remote tartan
#

New Blood cult is best cult.

next oyster
#

Dave is the cult leader. Is if you were to try and reach out to NB about a game, have something impressive to show off, have an idea of your scope, what it is, and reasons why people would wanna buy it. Jason and I came in as a team cuz I don't know how to program but I'm okay at art and coming up with weird ideas. So if your team and work ethic is strong I don't see why not.

#

I'd avoid retro shooters tho, got so many of those. do something unique with a cool twist.

open dome
#

(or if you do a retro shooter, have some neat twist like "it's like DMC" like Ultrakill)

stiff marten
#

tbh, i'd love to see someone do something like OG Red Faction but with a good campaign instead of shitty one

next oyster
#

I'd love to see newblood do an RPG in the future. That would be really neat.

stiff marten
#

maybe like Daggerfall

#

I know that team behind the Wayward Realms have had some trouble doing that

atomic forge
#

Wayward Realms sounds like it kinda imploded a few months ago and never had a clear vision of what it was supposed to be in the first place.

stiff marten
#

yeah, i read that article too but they seem to still be trucking along somehow

atomic forge
#

I could imagine NB publishing something like an Ultima clone as long as it had its own fresh twists. Not sure what exactly that unique twist would be but I'm not the one who's gonna develop it.

stiff marten
#

Ultima Clone but you're a traveling cook

atomic forge
#

Expanding on the bread baking mechanic from Ultima VII.

stiff marten
#

you travel into ruins and monster dens for ingredients in order to make money making cakes for nobles

atomic forge
#

Mmm. The problem is a game fundamentally based on collecting crafting materials is liable to get grindy and tedious.

stiff marten
#

yeah, maybe a good way to get around is that the monsters you're hunting aren't just animals

#

goblin stew anyone?

#

i'm just thinking of first person monster hunter now

atomic forge
#

I feel like if you want that kind of game to be successful, basically the player should never have to do the same dungeon twice unless you're doing something really interesting with it. And I wouldn't know how to both constantly send the player to new locations while having collecting resources for crafting being a thing.

stiff marten
#

that's a good point

atomic forge
#

In my mind, crafting only works when it's a question of how to manage limited resources, not a task to grind stuff up so you can make a new thing.

#

UnReal World is a perfect example of what I mean.

stiff marten
#

the way we've been talking about it reminds me too much of moonlighter and not in a good way

atomic forge
#

Yeah, I didn't play that one but I watched some of it, and it looks incredibly tedious. But I guess that's what does it for a certain kind of person.

stiff marten
#

its not really tedious

#

the problem is that the merchant part of the game is way too shallow

atomic forge
#

Maybe tedious isn't the word, but it's a game for the kind of person who's fine with just watching numbers go up instead of making any kind of decision or meaningful interaction.

stiff marten
#

pretty much

#

I really hoped that the merchant part would be more complex like having to build a repertoire with certain customers so you'd have a better idea of how to set prices instead of just pure trial and error based on customer reactions

#

its a real shame since i love the artwork and OST

atomic forge
#

Kinda like Reccettear?

#

Or however it's spelled.

stiff marten
#

its literally casual Recettear

#

I still need to play that despite it being in my steam library for years

atomic forge
#

I played it years ago now. It's interesting, because while it sounds like it should be a grindy, repetitive game, it's really not. The customer interaction aspect combined with the dungeon crawling for items means there's always some level of decision making keeping you focused.

#

You build rapport with customers by selling things at prices they like, and there's always a bit of brinksmanship in trying to squeeze as much profit as possible out of them without upsetting them.

stiff marten
#

yeah, i saw the Sseth review

#

and the memes long before that

atomic forge
#

It's a neat game. I wouldn't put it as an all-time favorite or anything but it's worth playing.

mint sedge
#

Its like marrowind ||with guns||

#

Hey Trey was wondering what some of your favorite movies were in terms of inspiration for Fallen Aces or just in general ? 🙂

next oyster
#

I mentioned a lot of that in the interview. The list is pretty endless

balmy iron
#

oh alright, sry I didn't see the interview

next oyster
#

But movies specifically? Dark City, Sin City, Watchmen, Robocop.

plush estuary
#

oh sweet, satirical humour in fallen aces? pog

next oyster
#

The whole game is satire of the 30s and 40s

plush estuary
#

i'd buy that for a dollar!

balmy iron
#

yoooooo Trey Dark City is amazing

#

Alex Proyas' second best after The Crow

next oyster
#

People have told me some elements of the demo remind them of the crow

balmy iron
#

oh shit, that's nice yeah The Crow was such a gem, RIP Brandon Lee

#

Sin City is an obvious influence but nonetheless great, didn't expect Watchmen on the list but with the whole watchful guardians of a noir crime-ridden city concept, yeah Watchmen seems quite the obvious influence too

next oyster
#

What if I told you I secretly don’t like Noir?

green kelp
#

i'd be disinclined to believe you

next oyster
#

It’s true...

balmy iron
#

what about Neo-Noir Trey ? 😉

next oyster
#

Meh

#

I like Memento and Seven

loud ridge
#

Tbh I'd believe you at face value because it's clear the game isn't dipping the most into that

#

Like the comic art style and colors don't scream noir at all

#

More just crime comic

upbeat kestrel
#

I think the art style is cool

#

What engine does the game use?

balmy iron
#

Seven is fucking art !

#

Fincher make a new movie already goddamnit 😠

Mindhunters is good

very but he needs to do another movie

what is the one thing that Trey likes?

it's been hours and we still don't know what the one thing Trey likes is

Hmm

My take:

#

System shock 1 is better than 2 and this is a fact

green kelp

now listen here

#

system shock 2 is a wonderful game

#

system shock 1 is a wonderful operating system

#

because it plays like one

clever sigil
#

Exactly

next oyster
#

I mean I think 1’s story and immersive elements are pretty interesting even today. Makes me excited for the remake

grand flicker
#

SS1 feels absolutely fine to control after an hour of playing with classic config

#

I don't get the fuss

golden cosmos
#

something about ss1 just felt too dated for me. I mean, I can appreciate the historical value of the game, but still

open dome
#

They're different games to me, but both are very enjoyable.

#

I really like that the hybrids feel like they're hunting you in SS2. The way they talk, search for you + the sounds you make. I love that stuff.

Hey Trey was wondering what genre/style of music the game’s gonna have ? 🙂

next oyster
#

Jazz/Noir/swing James Bondy

#

With live orchestra hopefully

Cool AF

that sounds great man

When the game was announced I was like "reeee it's not a game I was expecting"

next oyster
valid shale

But I really like what I've seen so far

#

Except for the lack of the guitar strap

next oyster
#

Interesting tidbit. Each character has there own melody. For example Delia's melody can be heard in the trailer only a broken distorted version. Along with Mike's theme.

Thank you Trey for these files, omg they're fantastic

balmy iron
#

Bullitt is a bit weak ngl, the car chase is the only standout sequence from the film, the rest of it has not aged well in terms of pacing, story or acting

#

it's severely perfunctory in those regards whereas the similar film The French Connection is the opposite, that aged beautifully ALONG with the car chase

next oyster
#

Yeah yeah. BUT THE SCORE!

balmy iron

excellent

people knew real music back then

Like, 1x zoom for max FOV and idk up to 2x

maybe a number in the menu showing the resulting FOVs

or canvas size

wouldnt a zoom slider just decrease fov in a pixelationizing way

no

well, if you implement it in an idiotic way, then yes

but anything can become shitty with shitty implementation

But that's The Phantom to you, they do not tolerate this kind of thing.

@fleet barn Scarlet Whisper

what's he like?

also @tough drum It's not just you swedes that like the phantom. In New Guinea one of the native tribes like to put him on their war shields https://io9.gizmodo.com/why-does-this-comic-book-hero-appear-on-so-many-new-gui-1621448221

io9

Lee Falk's hero the Phantom made his comic book debut in February 1936, but he also appears on dozens of traditional war shields made by people from the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea between the 1960s and 1980s. Why?

is he just a comic hero or is he based of a real person in the fallen aces world?

She. Real person

#

In the world

so this is like a comic loosely based off real events in fallen aces?

next oyster
#

All the ACES had comics and merchandise based on them. Usually they were embellished

hmmm

I smell some watchmen influence here

is the impetus for the plot a series of killings targeting aces?

eventually revealed to be the work of one of their own?

Next year

I wonder how you'll use the performance gains from making all characters 2D.

#

Like, if you take that 2D element, and run with it, what would be the progression? How far can you take it?

next oyster
#

We have 3 episodes planned. So a lot.

mighty folio
#

If you shoot guns, do 2D shells fall out?

prisma bison
#

is it gonna be billboard sprites then?

mighty folio
#

Could you theoretically keep every shell fired on the map? Since they're all 2D, and you probably have limited ammo.

next oyster
#

We use 2d billboarded sprites. Weapons that eject shell casings do.

After all, nobody really suspects a seemingly drunk hobo to be someone who's spying on them.

Did I ever tell you kids the story of the time Trey was a mob boss for a brief time?

Huh, really now?

It's true...a year ago I was cast in a Amazon TV show called "Mafia Ties" where I played a Mob Boss.

On a mobster related note, its quite interesting that John Romero's grandmothers was a mobster herself.

Also, on the subject of crime shows that have not gotten a good rating, there's that Young Wallander one on Netflix right now.

And it has not gotten a positive reception.

Peaky Blinders is my favorite crime show

Gothams me favorite

because im a Batman fanatic

Kurt Wallander (Swedish pronunciation: [vaˈlǎnːdɛr]) is a fictional Swedish police Inspector created by Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell (1948 – 2015). He is the protagonist of many mystery novels set in and around the town of Ystad, 56 km (35 mi) south-east of the city of...

seriously watch Gotham

its insane

#

The plot points are insane

BBC did a show based on Wallander and its quite funny hearing English people say the Swedish names of people and towns. XD

red sedge
#

I love it

tough drum
#

Also, it takes place in Skåne, or Scania as its known as in the English language.

#

The BBC show was even filmed here in Skåne.

red sedge

Nightwave seems kind of a meh name to me for a protagonist set in the 1950's asthetic

city

#

or 60's

#

i dunno

next oyster
#

Timeline is ambiguous

tough drum
#

Also, we've got another police detective by the name of Martin Beck, he's also quite famous.

#

Martin Beck is a fictional Swedish police detective and the main character in the ten novels by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, collectively titled The Story of a Crime. Frequently referred to as the Martin Beck stories, all have been adapted into films between 1967 and 1994, six ...

#

One of the TV movies they made based on the books is called "Mannen utan Ansikte" which translates directly to "The Man with no face"

red sedge
#

Batman: NOOOO I CANT KILL CRIMINALS! I WILL CROSS LINE BOO HOO!
Nightwave: haha tommy gun go brrrr

next oyster
#

I mean Batman is pretty dumb name.

tough drum
#

The plot of it is that Beck and his partner Gunvald Larsson are called to the scene of an especially gruesome murder where a man's face had been cut off.

next oyster
#

Let's see "He's a man, and hes bat themed...I know!"

red sedge
#

Nightwave means what exactly

tough drum
#

And what Beck and Gunvald later discover, it may be related to honor killing.

#

Which is unfortunately something that has happened sometimes here in Sweden.

#

People getting murdered because of "honor".

next oyster
#

Nothing. What does Scarlet Whisper mean. Nothing. What does anything mean?

red sedge

isn't honor killing still a thing in some middle eastern countries

What does Nightwing mean?

#

In particular one case involving a young woman by the name of Fadime Sahindal was murdered by her brother and her father because she chose to marry someone the family did not agree with.

He is in night doing stuff.... Oh I see

prisma bison
#

oh yeah i remember hearing about that

next oyster
#

He works at night lol

The father got a pretty long prison sentence and her brother was later shot and killed by police officers.

#

He's got thermal goggles on his face. What does wing mean?

red sedge
#

he was under the WING of batman i dunno

next oyster
#

Could stand for crimewave...I dunno. Doesn't really matter.

#

Just because he one of the only ACE'S Left dosen't mean he the coolest one

tough drum
#

I can tell you also that it doesn't happen very often that police officers in Sweden are forced to shoot and kill someone.

red sedge
#

The mafia boss is named Fortnite Burger and if you say no you are lying

#

including you trey

next oyster
#

I can tell you also that it doesn't happen very often that police officers in Sweden are forced to shoot and kill someone.
@tough drum happens all time here unfortunately

tough drum
#

The only other time I can remember where police officers were forced to shoot and kill someone was this lunatic neo-nazi who was attacking a school.

#

Perhaps you have heard about that?

prisma bison
#

no, i haven't heard about that at all

prisma bison
#

where was that

tough drum
#

Up in Trollhättan.

prisma bison
#

holy shit a sword?

tough drum
#

The police later discovered that the guy who was responsible for it was a Neo-Nazi sympathizer when they went through his computer.

#

And yeah, he was an utter loon.

#

And as the article also says, Trollhättan has a bit of a history when it comes to hate crimes, unfortunately.

So, apparently you'll be able to play the game in anyway you want?
