fallen-aces

[tranquil bough]

Question:how long will he demo leave be?

[next oyster]

Idk depends how long you play it

[last hare]

Demo
Next
Week

[tranquil bough]

[last hare]

oh wait sorry for the @

[wheat needle]

Less than a week now, assuming it's coming out on October 1st

[next oyster]

Until I decide to cancel it again.

[tranquil bough]

damn chainsaw bears holding trey hostage

[odd tusk]

they can't keep getting away with it

[half leaf]

Supplice Demo also drops on October 1st...

[static basin]

this game seems cool cant wait for the demoi rly wanne play it

not my first time to get exicted for new blood game

[tranquil bough]

Wrong channel rudi

[hazy sandal]

What

[plain quiver]

I posted an Æ screenshot

[dry fable]

Is there a demo coming this Friday? I heard in one of the other channels.

[wheat needle]

Yes

Technically Trey said this week rather than this Friday, but since Friday marks the start of Steam Next Fest that's almost certainly the day.

[tranquil bough]

Next fest runs from 1st to the 7th

https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest_preview

got a lot of other cool demos in there too

[next oyster]

Yeah Oct 1st or whatever

[valid estuary]

what engine was this game made on

[tranquil bough]

Unity

[valid estuary]

oh

ok I'll stick to gamemaker

[opal zenith]

bruh

[valid estuary]

indeed

[sand oracle]

Another events to try demos, majority of which are meh!

Buuuuut this time we might have Fallen Aces!

[mystic vault]

How much content will the demo have?

[rough lion]

Bout 4 gallons

[last crow]

at least 2 cutscenes worth

[mystic vault]

more then ultrakills, im sold

[last crow]

ultrakill pwn'd epically

[sand oracle]

At least 1 level?

[cursive hemlock]

Probably about one corridor with 2 enemies

[river ember]

2 is pushing it a bit too far

1 enemy is more likely

[cunning geyser]

I heard the development is pretty far, you can walk, jump and use mouse to look around

[last crow]

it's good, I promise

but don't skip the cutscenes or I will never forgive you

[mystic vault]

i bet some loser worked on them

[last crow]

listen here wise guy

[tranquil bough]

Honestly time around I’m finding a lot more demos to try

Besides fallen aces,the biggest one there is probably postal brain damage

[next oyster]

Demo is around 20 mins roughly. Depends how quickly you play it honestly

It's a mini sandbox design so you set the pace.

[brisk rose]

i'm gonna replay it

like

50 times

yo what if there's a secret boss fight where you literally fight a chainsaw bear

would be funny and terrifying

[next oyster]

https://c.tenor.com/FKn-8Ac5M7oAAAAM/no-bugs-bunny.gif

So there are lots of Lil routes ya can take through the level. A hidden area or two.

[solar abyss]

a speedrunner dream

[long sierra]

oh god

leave the speedrunning to ultrakill

[native rover]

No, keep the speedrunning tech open for all games

I'm super stoked to try out the FA demo

[safe blade]

Will the demo be timed or will it stay forever?

[valid shale]

It will probably stay forever like for other NB games

timed demos are stupid

[safe blade]

they are dumb, but next fest demos tend to be timed

[valid shale]

not all

[upbeat kestrel]

when's the switch port

[valid shale]

i doub't they're required to be timed

[long sierra]

if they are

the demo can always be added to the steam page afterwards

[valid shale]

also idk in what way time limiting your demo isn't shooting yourself in the foot a bit

like why

what benefit does a dev or publisher have from limiting for how long people can try out a demo of a game

i understand time limiting free offers of a full game but not time limiting demos

you're just limiting the exposure of your own product

it's understandable if it requires connection a server the devs need to maintain but also it's kinda bad when a game requires that

[next oyster]

We don't do no timed demos. You nuts?

[opal zenith]

so is the Demo basically the "E1M1" of the game?

and if so how long do you project each "Episode" will be?

cuz 20 minutes is pretty long especially for first level

[valid shale]

Are both of you devs making levels for the game?

[icy ice]

timed demos make no sense because people will just speedrun your whole game then never have to play it again (saying you actually demo the full game instead of making a demo sized game but adding a timer)

[next oyster]

More like E1m3. Expect big levels

What sense would it make to work on a demo for a year a half put all that work into only for people to play it for like a week.

20 mins being if you like are looking for all the little lore notes n such, playing stealthy.

I'm sure somebody could plow through it in like 15

[opal zenith]

i think timed demos are just for FOMO stupidity which is

stupid

and understood

i'm excited

very excited

it is TIME for MICHAEL to LAY DOWN THE PIPEWORK

in the most wholesome way possible

[wide kestrel]

I’m sad nobody got my last Boy Scout reference reply I was really proud of that one

[next oyster]

I got it

[valid shale]

[wide kestrel]

nice

[native rover]

I've never seen The Last Boy Scout but I've seen Last Action Hero a bunch

[next oyster]

both are great

[wide kestrel]

Last Boy Scout has like probably one of the most hateable villains ever

Milo is brilliant because he just oozes bad juju

[tranquil bough]

Didn’t know the mooks were such good artists

[upper wharf]

So, the company I work for decided that this exact week was the perfect time to send me literally across the state for some important training. To say I'm livid is an extreme understatement.

[next oyster]

Ay my job decided this was the perfect week to have me not work there anymore cuz I quit to work on Aces fulltime.

[upper wharf]

Ayyyy
I do hope everything is going well for you guys. Y'all have been working your ||asses|| Aces off over this project.

[tranquil bough]

So that’s where it comes from

[next oyster]

3 years in total. A year and half restarting from scratch trying to balance my day job

[tranquil bough]

Fallen angels

[upper wharf]

Holy crap. That is an insane amount of work. Didn't yall have to do an entire engine swap at one point?

[tranquil bough]

Well congrats trey,all your work shall be judged

[next oyster]

Yeah, we had to swap engines and start from the ground up. All the stuff you see in the first trailer was all on Game Maker

[tranquil bough]

Damn

Quite an impressive transition

[static basin]

ello

[upper wharf]

Wait, that OG trailer was in GameMaker? That's insane! I thought it was some build engine port you were working with.

Fallen ACES is now on Unity, isn't it?

[tranquil bough]

Yea

[iron sonnet]

Yeah, the original was indeed on Game Maker, Jason did a great job getting all the rendering and stuff working, it was very impressive when we first got to try it

The current version is on Unity though, yes

[next oyster]

It was Zombie's idea to port Doombuilder wads into unity I think

[upper wharf]

I didn't know you could port those assets into Unity. Bet that took a lot of getting used to. Been thinking of getting into it to make a game I've had in my head awhile.

[next oyster]

Which was beneficial in the end because the GM map editor wasn't super user friendly and was hard to make maps with. DB is, plus Zombie and the other NB know how DB works pretty well. On top of that I'm pretty familiar on how to make maps with it so I ended up being able to make much more detailed maps with it.

[iron sonnet]

Yeah I suggested using the doom map format

I can't take credit for the actual implementation though, that was all Jason

[next oyster]

Yeah, it took a long time to get everything working. It has some quirks. The og editor couldn't even handle small sectors and angled walls/slopes

[iron sonnet]

It's also nice because we get custom map support for free

[next oyster]

Yeah I'll do a video tutorial at some point on how to map aces maps. It's fairly easy to do now.

As long as you have the acesdata file and UDB you can make your own maps

[tranquil bough]

FA SDK

[upper wharf]

Welp, im sure my work Surface Pro tablet would be able to handle this game. Might see if I can get Steam on this bad boy and not get a grilling for it.

[iron sonnet]

Yeah it's still a little rough around the edges atm since we don't have the definitions set up fully, but it's workable

People will probably have some custom stuff going within a day of the demo release lol

[next oyster]

The biggest issue you'll run into is "sector holes"

[tranquil bough]

like parts not loading in?

[upper wharf]

Isn't that what V1 has? Hehehehe

[next oyster]

If you have a sector that isn't square it'll load as a void, to avoid this you have to connect the sector to another via linedefs. Like a big spiderweb

[iron sonnet]

Yeah the game requires sectors to be convex at the moment

[upper wharf]

Alrighty, y'all have a good night. Passing out for the night
I might have my work trainer check out the game as well since we chatted about his gaming rig in training today.

[next oyster]

ye tell ur friends, tell their friends, tell yo dog, yo wife, enemies etc.

[upper wharf]

Who needs friends when you have NewBlood?

[tranquil bough]

so more people can join the cult our server

[odd tusk]

You mean this trailer??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rFsrp11NLQ&t=14s

...gamemaker can do 3D style games?

[next oyster]

Ye all Gamemaker

[odd tusk]

fucking hell lmao

I genuinely didn't knew it was even possible to make something like this in gamemaker

pretty cool

[red condor]

Ga_e mak_r

[iron sonnet]

Yeah Game Maker has been capable of 3D since like

Game Maker 6.0 or something?

It was initially very limited but you've basically always been able to do doom-style stuff, it's just a lot of work

Version 6.0 (October 2004) introduced limited functionality for use of 3D graphics, as well as migrating the runtime's drawing pipeline from VCL to DirectX.
Hell yeah, my memory hasn't failed me

[odd tusk]

[wheat needle]

Making a game like Fallen Aces in Game Maker sounds maddening

Props to Trey and Jason for getting as far as they did in that engine

[mystic vault]

Do we have bear traps around trey's house this time?

[long sierra]

We lend him a 2-bore stopper, should do the trick

[mystic vault]

good avi to go with that post

[long sierra]

Leon when the bears arrive

[mystic vault]

What the bears see

[long sierra]

[tranquil bough]

[rough lion]

Oh yeah that’s a gun alright, anyone know the name?

[long sierra]

it's a custom 2-bore stopping rifle

i think it was nicknamed the Double Deuce

[upbeat kestrel]

I wonder what the modding potential is like.

[iron sonnet]

Right now, a subset of ZDoom-format UDMF for maps, with the ability to have custom textures (since those are loaded externally)

Note the levels aren't (currently) stored in zip files or wads, the game will load the raw textmap data, so you can't just drop in existing doom maps and expect them to load

You'd need to rip that file out of the wad using Slade or something

[tranquil bough]

So you would need to convert FA’s maps?

[iron sonnet]

There's no actual conversion, the format is ultimately the same

They're just not stored inside a WAD

[upbeat kestrel]

Interesting

I was mostly thinking about texture swaps and the like ngl

[iron sonnet]

We'll probably support WAD and stuff later, the focus was just on "get the demo done" rather than "make modding really convenient" lmao

[tranquil bough]

Have a finished game first

[iron sonnet]

Pretty much

[upbeat kestrel]

Was just curious! Seemed like it would be a simpler ordeal than Dusk, for example

[iron sonnet]

Doing it from the start definitely makes it easier, yeah

[mighty folio]

FASDK

[terse thistle]

is the demo for oct 1?

[tranquil bough]

Yes

[terse thistle]

nice

[long sierra]

tomorrow indeed

[next oyster]

You know what? I think I'll go for a nice hike. For ol time sake.

[long sierra]

bring your stopping rifle in case of bears

[next oyster]

I'll bring hugs.

[stuck kraken]

question, oct 1 is in 8 minutes for me, but i live in australia, is steam games fest linked to US time or somin?

i would assume so

if so i would have to wait like 15 more hours or so

[next oyster]

10am valve time

[stuck kraken]

ah i see, thank you very much

[opal zenith]

10 A.M. VALVe time????

are you kidding???

yooo Fallen Aces Demo dropping October 1st 3021

Gotcha

[stuck kraken]

and its like 6:30pm 30th of september where they are so we will have to wait alot longer

[mighty folio]

One more day?

[stuck kraken]

yea

[next oyster]

When demo comes out I wanna hear from ya guys, whatcha liked, didn't like. Be annoying about it.

Tell me about your experiences

[brisk rose]

Understood

[tranquil bough]

dont worry,i'll ping you with my clips

[velvet steppe]

What the fuck is with the shotgun

why does it have two barrels and break open? what?

[next oyster]

??

[tranquil bough]

#gloomwood?

The business folding shotgun?

[next oyster]

I'm confused as you are

[tranquil bough]

break open is how most double barrels work,unless you're talking about the quake 2 one

[velvet steppe]

the burgess is the only shotgun i know, since its from the realistic burglary with firearms simulator, Gloomwood

Also the shotgun spread is too unrealistic. In many video games i see that the shotguns are often ineffective at long ranges. This isnt actually the case, shotguns in actually realistic games, like doom 3, are inneffective at every range

Holy shit you're not kidding

[upbeat kestrel]

oh neat

[stuck kraken]

DAMN

lmao

thats very cool

ok fuck bed ima pay

[wheat needle]

Stuck in a work meeting right now but will play once I'm out.

[solar flame]

I’m stuck in classes until 2 et

hol up

i assume this isnt supposed to happen

prob cause of the hardware im on, but it might not be

[next oyster]

hmmm

whatcha usin?

[stuck kraken]

im currently on my crappy laptop, with integrated graphics

runs the game at like 40 fps (ikr crap)

[iron sonnet]

does it do that if you disable occlusion culling in settings?

[stuck kraken]

i dont think i did that

ill run the game again and report back

[iron sonnet]

I think the occlusion culling is done as a compute shader, which probably has problems on shitty integrated cards

[next oyster]

I know my shitty laptop can't run it. Badaboom

[stuck kraken]

yep, i disabled occlusion culling and it stopped doing it

[sonic furnace]

let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[stuck kraken]

everythang look normal now, im not in the 4th dimension

[long sierra]

yoooooooooooo

[zenith yarrow]

work be like

[iron sonnet]

btw can you provide the exact specs?

will be useful for us to investigate with

a log file would also help (put -logFile output_log.txt in your Steam launch options for the game, run the game, quit, and then go to the game folder and post output_log.txt here)

[wide kestrel]

I’ll be playing the aces demo as soon as I finish downloading this

[stuck kraken]

yep, hol up one second

Specs for craptop:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065g7 CPU

[outer leaf]

just finished the demo that was cool

[vestal star]

THE DEMO'S OUT??

[next oyster]

dayum, that was quick

[iron sonnet]

It looks like that laptop has a dedicated GPU too

[vestal star]

HOLY POLY MOLY WITH A STICK

[steel zinc]

the way fallen aces looks kinda reminds me of XIII

[finite mural]

[iron sonnet]

If you go into the game folder and right click on the Aces exe file, do you see a "Run with graphics processor" option?

You should be able to pick "NVIDIA GeForce MX230" and then the game should run better and maybe the culling will work properly

[stuck kraken]

no, im pretty sure my laptop only has integrated graphics

[iron sonnet]

the specs page has this

[stuck kraken]

i think there is multiple models of that laptop or somin

[bronze basin]

So happy this is finally out

[iron sonnet]

Task manager won't always show all of your GPUs

Particularly older ones in laptops and such

[vestal star]

I'm hopping on this right now

[stuck kraken]

yeah i checked the laptop is def the inspiron 5593 but im not sure my one has the NVIDIA gpu

[sage mason]

🥔 specs

[valid shale]

A

[reef spindle]

time to test it on my shitty 2008 thinkpad

[shut river]

why is the download size so large

[stuck kraken]

wait no thats the video controller right?, not a dedicated card?, or am i stupid

[valid shale]

gotta do an assignment then imma play

[mighty folio]

glad the demo is out

[iron sonnet]

well, discrete card not dedicated, I used the wrong term

but it's another gpu yeah

[shut river]

why is the download size so large tho? isn't this game build engine?

[next oyster]

The level is massive

[sage mason]

Probably uncompressed music too.

[shut river]

one level?

well the cultic demo was one massive level

[long sierra]

This game isn't build, it's unity

from what i recall

[iron sonnet]

It's Unity, yes

[shut river]

fair, so was dusk

unity is versatile I'll say that

[iron sonnet]

The game contains a lot of assets + video files, so that's the bulk of the size

[sage mason]

Music with real instruments takes up way more space than MIDI files.

[long sierra]

i am gonna see if i can force this game to run off of my 1050 and not the integrated one

[cunning harness]

Out of curiosity - where did you get that its running on build?

[iron sonnet]

Reminds me of people thinking it was running on GZDoom

[long sierra]

what do they think this is, hedon?

[mighty gulch]

is this compatible with brutal doom?

[shut river]

it looks like it runs on it

[long sierra]

will it be balanced on this super obscure mappack?

why does it look like it runs on build?

[shut river]

idk, just gives me that vibe

except not as... weird

[cunning harness]

I mean I get the gzdoom assumption in a way

[shut river]

you know
unstable engine and all

[mighty gulch]

thats the power of 2.5D

[long sierra]

where did you get that it was unstable from?

[next oyster]

Build but not ass

[cunning harness]

But build?

[upper wharf]

8+ hours until I get home from training. Suuuper excited to play this when I get back.

[opal zenith]

trey

help me

[stuck kraken]

yeah, i think your right, im so fucking stupid, ive been using this laptop for months and I had no idea that it had a discrete GPU

[iron sonnet]

lmao

easy thing to miss

[iron sonnet]

Are you using an integrated intel gpu?

[opal zenith]

i think so

[stuck kraken]

agh yeah, i had the same issue, you need to disable a certain option in the video settings

[iron sonnet]

Check if you have a second GPU you can use

[stuck kraken]

that one

[opal zenith]

gotcha

ty

[iron sonnet]

If not, you can disable occlusion culling to fix it, yeah

(At a performance cost, of course)

[mighty folio]

Good job gamers

[solar flame]

Gonna be able to play in 3 hours

[stuck kraken]

rip

[mental osprey]

Well, lets close this

[iron sonnet]

another one lmao, do you have an intel card?

[mental osprey]

Idk let me see

[iron sonnet]

You can disable occlusion culling to fix that if you don't have another GPU you can tell the game to use

It's an option in settings

[mental osprey]

Ohh thanks

[long sierra]

gah

[shut river]

I'm stuck

[long sierra]

nvidia control panel keeps crashing so i can't even see what GPU it's trying to run off of

[iron sonnet]

You can right click on the game exe and hover over "Run with graphics processor"

The one it's using will be marked default

[shut river]

environments are just a tad bit jank in some places

I got stuck on a window because the pane was too far away from the wall

[long sierra]

it's a demo, what do you expect?

[shut river]

yeah exactly

I was about to say, it's a demo so it's to be expected

[novel meteor]

I made an interesting enterance at the club

[shut river]

the hud is amazing

the game looks like it's gonna be a blast

[vivid ether]

is the game any good?

[next oyster]

naw it sucks

[long sierra]

it's a demo, it's free to try

[spice mango]

gianni shitting is the best part of the game

[deft mason]

anyone know how long the Fallen Aces demo is? approx how many hours?

or minutes

[long sierra]

53.8 weeks

[earnest dagger]

I just finished the demo and i want more!

I LOVE IT!

[deft mason]

how long did it take you to finish

[earnest dagger]

about 25 minutes

[deft mason]

great, thanks

[earnest dagger]

but it is pretty replayable

That was just a single run

it is just me or does someone else has this problem?

[iron sonnet]

Intel cards seem to have that issue

You can fix it by turning off occlusion culling in settings

Or by running the game with your other GPU if you have a laptop with two

[tough drum]

Short but nice demo there. 🙂

[wintry latch]

Hmm, my laptop surpasses the recommended specs by quite a bit, yet the demo has been running really badly, and has actually been frozen for the past 5 or so minutes

[valid shale]

NVM
assignment deadline has just been postponed by 5 days and I'm partly done already

[iron sonnet]

What are your specs? And where/how did the game freeze?

[sudden fjord]

where do you find delia?

[iron sonnet]

||Look for a button in Malone's office||

[sudden fjord]

ahh

[wintry latch]

I have an i5, 8gb of ram, and an NVIDIA 920mx, re-reading the specs on steam I can see that I don’t surpass all reccomended specs but I should meet the minimum. And it’s freezing at the area with the first thug

[sudden fjord]

how did i miss that

i'm an idiot

lmao

[tough drum]

How old is your laptop?

If you don't mind me asking.

[iron sonnet]

I'm pretty sure the specs on Steam are a placeholder

I could be wrong

that's a pretty old card though

[wintry latch]

Not sure, was given to me by a family member a while ago. But not too modern

[iron sonnet]

It definitely shouldn't be freezing though, that sounds like a bug

Could you get us a log?

[tough drum]

And yeah, I agree with Zombie that's a pretty old GPU your laptop has got.

[wintry latch]

How would I do that?

[iron sonnet]

Put -logFile output_log.txt in your Steam launch options for the game, then launch the game and get to the point where it freezes

[wintry latch]

Okay

[iron sonnet]

Then close the game and open the game folder, then send the output_log.txt file here

[tough drum]

Or well, old and old, its about 5 years old, that GPU.

At least going by a quick Google search on that particular Nvidia card.

[undone quarry]

I get the same problem yeah

[river island]

will the game run on integrated?

[undone quarry]

you're not alone

[tough drum]

The demo ran just fine for me, no issues whatsoever.

[iron sonnet]

Yes, though there's a bug currently where Intel cards won't render things properly. You can fix it by disabling occlusion culling in the game's settings

[river island]

because i keep crashing while loading after the first cinematic

[wintry latch]

I’m having to restart my laptop because the game won’t close, I’ll send the log when I get a chance

[iron sonnet]

Alt+F4 not closing it?

Not even able to Ctrl+Alt+Del into task manager?

[wintry latch]

Nope

[sudden fjord]

aight, i finished it, really good demo

can't wait for the full game

[undone quarry]

i also get the same problem, not able to alt+tab, ctrl+alt+del or alt+f4

[iron sonnet]

That's very strange

[wintry latch]

Tried everything to close it, it’s just not letting me do anything

[valid shale]

Sexy menu music
Did you manage to get live orchestra?

[next oyster]

Goon sends a log to the toilet bowl

[undone quarry]

i have way above the recommended settings but the game stutters like every few seconds, lemme wait a bit before trying again.

[river island]

thats not even the issue, its just loading, then forcibly full screens, then crashes outright

[undone quarry]

on my end it just stops responding yeah.

[iron sonnet]

[river island]

at least it closed out for me though

[undone quarry]

i got around that with not using exclusive fullscreen but idk if that will work for you

[iron sonnet]

why are launches never easy

lol

[river island]

thats why we got demos lol

[undone quarry]

yeah i'm not complaining the game's pretty solid

[tough drum]

I mean, yeah, that's what demos generally are for.

[whole brook]

Game kicks ass

The stealth system is way better than I would've imagined

Good shit

[tough drum]

Not only give people a first impression of the game, but also to find if there are any bugs that snuck past.

And yeah, the sneaking was quite nice. 🙂

[river island]

yeah i cant even get the game to load past the first cinematic

i'm currently trying every single setting to see what might be screwing with it

[wintry latch]

Also on another note, less a bug but more just something I’ve noticed, in video options there are saddening amounts of options to tweak for performance. It would be nice to have some more options to help performance

[undone quarry]

so far i encountered no bugs but performance problems, hopefully will be fixed before launch.

[river island]

laptop just has an i3 and 16 gigs of ram

ssd too

[undone quarry]

i got a gt730 and 8gb also i3

[river island]

the i3 might be the issue, in fairness

[undone quarry]

that should run it fairly easily

[wintry latch]

How does one acquire an i3 yet have 16gb ram

[iron sonnet]

You can force the game to skip the intro video by going into AcesData -> Episodes -> MothDemo -> Chapter1 -> chapterInfo.txt and removing the intro video line

See if that makes a difference

[river island]

weird laptop

[upbeat storm]

Love this detail btw

[wintry latch]

Fair enough

[river island]

i dunno

[iron sonnet]

Also, are you mashing buttons or anything while it's loading? It's normal for it to go "not responding" for a little bit during the initial load

[wheat needle]

Just did two playthroughs of the demo, one on normal and the other on hard. It's great! I do have some feedback though:

1. Enemies seem to be a little too oblivious when it comes to detecting you. I think it's fine for normal but I'd like to see them be a little more aware on hard mode.
2. Related to the above, it'd be nice to see the ability to turn off enemy awareness indicators in the HUD in the full game.
3. Speaking of options, gamma adjustments would be nice. Had to turn up the brightness on my monitor as even the well-lit areas were kind of on the dark side.
4. When you die, you're able to get up and continue through the area almost as if nothing ever happened. Will it be like that for the full game or is that just a demo thing since there's no saving?

[river island]

its not the new blood thing, its the story cinematic

[river island]

it quite literally loads for about 1 second, then flat out closes itself

[iron sonnet]

The game hasn't actually crashed in this scenario, it's just loading a bunch of stuff so Windows thinks it's not responding. If you start mashing buttons then Windows will forcefully close it

[river island]

no crash report from unity either

[iron sonnet]

Hmm, that's really weird

[atomic barn]

great game

I love it

the demo was dope

[snow skiff]

yay demo is out

too bad i cant play it im on linux

[iron sonnet]

It should run fine under Proton

[long sierra]

genuinely dissappointed we can't pick up the hat

[wheat needle]

5. I was able to rebind my keys without issue unlike the 1.0 version of the Gloomwood demo so Fallen Aces is clearly better.

[river island]

lowering the resolution hasn't fixed it either

neither has adjusting any variety of settings

hell i even tried noir filter on/off

[open dome]

I HOTFIXED THAT LIKE IMMEDIATELY

[last hare]

Devs still work hard

[river island]

ill have to just try it on my pc when i get back

oh well

[wheat needle]

lmao fair

[atomic barn]

I loved the style, the gameplay was so fluid when I saw the trailer I don´t I image some clumsy first person fighting... like action doom 2 lol... but damn it was really fun.

Also the stealth was dope.

[next oyster]

The full game will have a proper saving and loading system

[valid shale]

thx guys

[upbeat storm]

I think a sign of the demo being good is me going "Fuck thats it? I want to play moreeeee" after finishing it

[iron sonnet]

You can technically make custom levels, so I mean, if you want more you can make it

[long sierra]

i? the fuck is wrong with you

[next oyster]

You could retry playing a different way

[upbeat storm]

Yeah I probs will

[valid shale]

replace "it's" with "its" in intro where appropriate

otherwise really cool

[upbeat storm]

Also I want to be clear this isn't a like me being idk entitled thing this is a thing of the demo being great and making me more hyped for the full release

[atomic barn]

Stealth perfected

[upbeat storm]

wym?

[atomic barn]

I back this up.

[rancid tree]

Demo was great! Lets you either punch or sneak your way into a situation with simple fast movement of a shooter complimented with stealth mechanics. Curios tho if there was a way to carry bodies if ever?

[long sierra]

. @upbeat storm

[upbeat storm]

Oh lmao

[thin walrus]

demo was great imma cry

[next oyster]

In the future there is going to be, yes

[atomic barn]

I was wondering if you are going to allow the cutscenes to have the noir filter... I was planning to use it during gameplay but I was taken out by the cut scenes being in color.

[next oyster]

So you can hide them

[wide kestrel]

I found the ||secret room|| I wonder how many more there are in the demo

[next oyster]

There is a Noir filter for in-game

[silk bridge]

fuck i cant get the game to run under proton

ill report back if i get it to work at all

[upbeat storm]

I know development can be unpredictable but out of curiosity is there any like aimed release window for the early access release?

[tardy brook]

Just finished the demo, I trust the plan

[next oyster]

hell no

[upbeat storm]

Probs for the best lol

[next oyster]

5 years

[tardy brook]

This scene right here is what cemented my trust in this game

[upbeat storm]

Inbetween now and 2100

[tardy brook]

Inbetween now and the heat death of the Universe

[opal zenith]

Demo was REALLY FUCKING GOOD DUDE

[atomic barn]

would it be possible to beat the game with only chops?

[opal zenith]

I loved it

[wide coral]

just listend to gianni shit his brains out 10/10

[opal zenith]

the cutscenes were fuckin' mint, the gameplay (at least on the Medium skill) was perfectly balanced, it was beautiful, and the art and environment work was phenomenal, just top fuckin' tier

[silk bridge]

ok update on my progress

i got proton to launch it

[severe blade]

Classic dillon move forcing his standards onto other people lmao

[silk bridge]

somehow

i did nothing different

but it crashes upon starting a new game

[next oyster]

Probably yeah, I've stealthed the whole map before.

[upbeat storm]

Fallen aces is more of a imsim right?

[valid shale]

[silk bridge]

now your chance to

[iron sonnet]

We're getting a few cases of that, not sure what the cause is yet

[radiant vigil]

I beat the demo twice, once on normal and one on hard.

[silk bridge]

this is specifically me running linux

[radiant vigil]

Pretty good stealth is well...pretty broken but still good.

[iron sonnet]

You're the first one on Linux as far as I know, so I don't think it's specific to that

[silk bridge]

ok fair enough

like the game boots up great so thats worth something

[opal zenith]

my only points of criticism would be that I think the map system could use a locational marker as to where you are, the keys could be better marked because there was a lotta keys and I couldn't figure out where they went to exactly since a lot of them looked the same, and perhaps a different keybind to pick-up and store items because i consumed two medkits by total accident at full health when i wanted to store them

[iron sonnet]

Do you get the cutscene before the loading screen?

[silk bridge]

its just on loading a map the screen goes black after the colour test then crashes to unity crash repirter

[tough drum]

Ah, Spamton's favorite brand. XD

[silk bridge]

no i get nothing but the main menu

[iron sonnet]

You can try going into AcesData/Episodes/MothDemo/Chapter1 and editing chapterInfo.txt

Remove the intro video line

Might make a difference?

[silk bridge]

ok lets see how that owrks

[jaunty rock]

Got through the demo already but HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING TREY, HOLY FUCK

[radiant vigil]

I do wanna see how fast I can speedrun the demo...because I got an idea where to run.

[opal zenith]

what I immediately appreciated what the mook in the dark alleyway, and how you could see his silhouette in total jet blackness, that was just... so good, thank you so much

[jaunty rock]

The voice acting could be a little better but overall it's nailed that grit and feel, I could practically smell the smoke from the cigars with that atmosphere.

[opal zenith]

yeah the atmosphere was fucking amazing

[radiant vigil]

I mean cheesie Noir is fantastic.

[jaunty rock]

So now I also have to pester Trey for early access on top of pestering Dillon

[tough drum]

I think the voice acting was quite nice. 🙂

[opal zenith]

yeah honestly

it was never too intrusive on the ears

[jaunty rock]

Yeah, the voice acting isn't bad, but I feel some lines could be delivered better, is all.

But overall it's nailed it. Even when I didn't use weapons much if at all, grabbing shit to throw at people was amazing.

[silk bridge]

unfortunatley not but i may have a lead for you

i just noticed that discord crashes alongside the game ever time

[next oyster]

I like punching guys the most

[iron sonnet]

Oh? What if you close Discord when you try to play the game?

[silk bridge]

lets try that

[iron sonnet]

Maybe it's the Discord overlay or something

[silk bridge]

ill brb

well

linux doesnt have discord overlay

but it might be trying to hook into it

[iron sonnet]

Worth a shot anyway yeah

[silk bridge]

ill be back though

[upbeat storm]

So is fallen aces a imsim?

feels like one

[modern iron]

This game whoops ass. The presentation is classy, and the music is fantastic. Absolutely cannot wait for the main game

[severe blade]

When fallen aces is objectively better than gloomwood

[upbeat storm]

and tbh I love we are getting more indie immersive sims, the genre is super under serviced so seeing some indie devs putting out games with the design philosophy is great

[iron sonnet]

When Jab is objectively Udonge

[severe blade]

Ok zombie

[wheat needle]

Now all we need is Trey to stream himself grilling and his dominance over Dillon will be complete.

[severe blade]

Don’t you have an sdk to be procrastinating on?

[next oyster]

Yes

[open dome]

I’ll just cancel Gloomwood then

[iron sonnet]

Struck a nerve

[severe blade]

I’ll strike you

Cmere

[silk bridge]

damn

it crashed with discord closed too

[wheat needle]

Will this give you more time to grill?

[next oyster]

There is enough love to go around for all NB insims

[severe blade]

Except gloomwood

[iron sonnet]

Hmm

[severe blade]

Sry

[modern iron]

Such a nice touch

[next oyster]

I hope people like ACES and Gloomwood equally.

[severe blade]

I hope it divides NB

[modern iron]

I think they both whoop ass

[upbeat storm]

I especially like all the multiple routes

[severe blade]

Channel fight

[silk bridge]

i loved the gloomwood demo but i didnt finish it lo

[next oyster]

I'd rather the channels be friends so we can both conquer the ultrakill channel togther

[silk bridge]

ill try and troubleshoot this some more though

[iron sonnet]

imsims gotta stick together

[silk bridge]

see if i can help yall in the end

[wheat needle]

I mean I do but meming on Dillon is also fun.

[upbeat storm]

like I thought, Can I stack trash cans to get over this wall into the club? And yep 100% could

[open dome]

lol even if you combined FA and GW channel there’s zero way we’d take on UK

[severe blade]

UK is like Detroit, there’s nothing to conquer you just look at it and feel sad

[iron sonnet]

I'll see if we can put a test build of the demo on another branch for the crashes

Hopefully it's just a Unity bug or something and upgrading'll fix it

[silk bridge]

british 🤮

[solar flame]

Actually based

[silk bridge]

-an irish lass

[severe blade]

Tbh y’all better scared for the return of #sgs

[wheat needle]

but if you conquer the ultrakill channel then where does the horny go

[severe blade]

Gonna rock your fucking socks

[solar flame]

Back to Twitter

[upbeat storm]

Idk the mark of a imsim to me is the mindset of "can I do this thing" and then the game going "yes" and this demo did that a few times

[silk bridge]

to me the mark of an imsim is a game that i despise but still repeatedly play over and over to see everything

half joking

[opal zenith]

i love all my NewBlood games like children

all of them are so fucking mint

[opal zenith]

also if you banded with DUSK and AMID EVIL

you'd have a chance against ULTRAKILL

strength in numbers

[severe blade]

Lmoa

Based pic

[upbeat storm]

Optimistic

[wheat needle]

As someone who was born in Chicago, this is blatantly false

[opal zenith]

better than pessimism

[wheat needle]

Not enough gunfire in the background

[upbeat storm]

(There isn't hate against ultrakill right this is just memeing)

[severe blade]

No

Fuck UK

I legit hate the channel

[tardy brook]

Oh?

[viscid rose]

just finished the demo, anyone found any secrets?

[severe blade]

Game is whatever

[open dome]

All the devs know the UK channel is cursed too don’t worry

[solar flame]

I would make a joke but I don’t wanna get in trouble again for mentioning something

[scarlet hearth]

gianni having a shit

[upbeat storm]

Ah rip I liked the ultrakill demo

[severe blade]

The fans are something else

[silk bridge]

anyways as i wait for a lead on this fallen aces bug im gonna try to find a way to get 東方妖々夢 imported here for a decent price lo

dont tell hakita

theyll try to take it from me

[opal zenith]

to get what imported

[silk bridge]

touhou youyoumu

the 6th one

my personal favourite

[next oyster]

I do hope people experiment with different ways to play the demo. Not a ton there but there is some little things ya can try.

[opal zenith]

oh i definitely want to

i wanna try a min-kills run

that'd be funny

[solar flame]

That’s enough for me :)

[opal zenith]

or perhaps even outright pacifist if possible

[upbeat storm]

See my brain is going "I bet the ultrakill channel can't be that bad" but I haven't been in it yet

[silk bridge]

the messages im seeing here imply a twist in the demo which makes me even more upset that i cant get it to fucking run

[fair aurora]

thats touhou 7 btw

[severe blade]

Youmu fumo

[ornate rose]

where tf do you go from malones office??!

[prime linden]

i like this new game

[opal zenith]

button behind the desk

[silk bridge]

yea that was a typo

sorry

[wheat needle]

||button on malone's desk||

[ornate rose]

ah

im dumb

[silk bridge]

perfect cherry blossom is my favourite

[opal zenith]

also a weaponless run would be fun too

fists only

[silk bridge]

https://www.protondb.com/app/1411910 waiting for something to show up here

[tardy brook]

Anyone wanna talk about this God-tier music?

[opal zenith]

also it took me a moment to realize that Mooks drop fruit on being executed

[severe blade]

SA is my personal fave

[opal zenith]

there's glory kills in this game, with fucking fruit

[next oyster]

Yeah if you use a finisher on enemies, sometiems thye drop snacks

[prime linden]

it gimme this cool vibe i havent felt in ages

[opal zenith]

also I don't think I managed to get any of the mooks to slip on banana peels

[viscid rose]

oh yeah forgot to mention that I do really like the spin kick finisher

feels good to use

[next oyster]

Not implemented yet

[opal zenith]

ahhhhh, gotcha

[severe blade]

True imsim would let me pickpocket

[silk bridge]

at least its not imperishable night

[next oyster]

true imsim they wouldn't have bananas smashed into their pockets

[opal zenith]

but you can't store the bananas anyways

[severe blade]

Yeah you can

Up ur butt lol

[open dome]

They’re not storing them in their pockets

[opal zenith]

[open dome]

Dammit jab lol

[opal zenith]

don't threaten me with a good time jab

[solar flame]

I was thinking about it and I’d buy a shirt with the fella on it

[tardy brook]

I think of Fallen Aces more as an action game with ImSim elements than something that's actively trying to be an ImSim

[wheat needle]

is that why gianni was on the toilet

[silk bridge]

bananas
god dammit is this demo just one big deltarune joke

[upbeat storm]

Not all imsims are stealth games

[upbeat kestrel]

Has anyone figured out who Stephan Weyte voices

[silk bridge]

i saw there was a big shot reference

[severe blade]

Remember that one time at pax East where I had to pull 13 banans out of dillons butt good times but I would defo rent that horse again

[opal zenith]

lads i don't

i don't think toby fox invented bananas

[wheat needle]

That and you stealth through most of the demo anyway

[tardy brook]

I mean like the alternate paths and combat styles

[upbeat storm]

If you play the original system shock thats pretty much a action game lol

[upbeat kestrel]

Got bad news for ya

[open dome]

Ah can’t wait for this channel to become just like Gloomwood where it’s “is X an immersive sim?” every moment of the day. I’m just the mods are going to be thrilled about that.

[silk bridge]

tis simply a joke

[severe blade]

Another fedora channel

[olive quartz]

Guys, I can't play the demo

[severe blade]

Anything is better than UK

[wheat needle]

We'll reserve the Thief 1 vs Thief 2 discussions for your channel though, don't worry

[olive quartz]

It won't get past the loading screen

[silk bridge]

lemme guess rashes on level one loading

[upbeat storm]

I found a good few paths in the demo

[fair aurora]

we're investigating issues like that right now

[upbeat storm]

also you know just a demo

[upbeat kestrel]

I mean that can just be answered by "Do I have fun playing it"

[last hare]

Can't find a certain key rn lol stuck

[fair aurora]

@olive quartz is it crashing? or is it just a black screen?

you only need one single key in the whole demo

find another solution!

[tardy brook]

I wanna extract this music so badly it sounds so fucking good

[olive quartz]

Uh

[upbeat storm]

The easy solution is to change your username to "Yes for the final time gloomwood is a imsim"

[olive quartz]

It was loading for 10 to 15 minutes

But just now it turned to this

Like

OK

[open dome]

@fair aurora correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you can actually do the demo keyless?

[olive quartz]

IT FINALLY WPRKS

[opal zenith]

the only key i can think you need is like the Gate Key with the Fountain encounter

but you might be able to skip that?

[open dome]

You can jump the fence

[olive quartz]

Thanks anyway

[opal zenith]

right

what about the key tutorial thing

the one with the key in the vent

[wheat needle]

I think this is the only required one

[open dome]

Oh right that’s the key he is talking about. Yeah.

[opal zenith]

interesting

[civic escarp]

Ive been shilling Fallen Aces all morning

[last hare]

There's a locked door with a crack in a wall nearby what do

[severe blade]

Dillon when you grilling

[upbeat storm]

Literally unplayable without a no key run/s

[brisk rose]

Took me 41 mins to beat the demo. I explored every nook and cranny too. Was a great experience. Only thing is it kinda feels like the game is constantly stuttering but it still says 60fps. Also if i knock out an enemy whos right next to another he wont notice. But besides that i love it.

[opal zenith]

it was kinda funny accidentally alerting the entire fucking building by destroying the Ambush Room

like "hell yeah i used the gas canister to destroy the trap :)"

[last hare]

yes

[opal zenith]

and then like 15 mooks came charging through the door

i didn't die during the demo properly; i fell off the rooftops stumbling in the Fuck Space before I turned off Occlusion Culling

[fair aurora]

we're investigating possible performance issue chiemkim, we appreciate the patience with it

[static basin]

im going to try fallend aces for the first time

[opal zenith]

did try the medium skill; gunna try the harder one later

[fair aurora]

its an alpha demo, so these things will get ironed out over time

[lavish cypress]

Played through the game on medium. Pretty great overall but I do feel the kick is a bit overpowered?

[upbeat storm]

good

[lavish cypress]

didn't have to block a single thing

just ape brain smashed, which was totally fun

maybe it won't work on hard

[wheat needle]

dark messiah moment

[brisk rose]

What is anti aliasing, texture filtering, and occlusion culling?

[knotty pelican]

i liked the demo but i think the ai is a bit to easy to cheese

[fair aurora]

keep in mind youre only fighting the very very lowest tier enemies in this demo

only one of them has a gun lol

its like fighting imps and zombie soldiers only

except they cant shoot

[lavish cypress]

true

I like curbstomping them

[last hare]

Kick! KICK LIKE THE POSTAL DUDE!

[opal zenith]

but the Lead Pipe mooks say "Eat Lead!" when throwing their pipes!

[lavish cypress]

they also keep their pipe when they throw them

[opal zenith]

yeah because they have like their trenchcoats lined with lead pipes

[lavish cypress]

it's like that squidward clock meme

[hollow forge]

Love the ost to this, I sometimes forgo stealth to just hear it while beating dudes up

[last hare]

||Where's the key to malone's room btw?||

[lavish cypress]

||right at the room where you enter second floor||

[last hare]

must've missed it

[prime linden]

what do i do at the part after you kill the thugs in the club thing?

like where theres a propane

[lavish cypress]

if you're still on first floor you need to find the black book and go to the second floor

[prime linden]

okay

the door is lokced

[lavish cypress]

you need to find another way

[leaden sable]

Is there any morale/karma system for murdering thugs/key characters?

I threw a gas canister into crowd, instagibbed them and then felt like crap

[prime linden]

i did it

:)

[twilit marsh]

just finished the demo, was pretty good

[open coral]

started up the demo and it crashed on me immediately

11/10

[leaden sable]

Undertale/Dishonored traumatised me into going pacifist when possible

[wheat needle]

The Fallen Aces demo only runs for good little boys and girls

[open coral]

[valid shale]

is this how u play (activate windows)

[oak dust]

load into the game

[mighty folio]

runs flawlessly for me, therefore your issues don't exist

[oak dust]

gets what I assume is a bug

I'd send a ss but I don't have image perms

[open coral]

I can only see the opening cutscene and the first loading screen before it crashes on me

[leaden sable]

Have you tried turning off your computor and turning it on?

[twilit marsh]

anyone else killed the dude with his own gun?

[mystic vault]

I like how you have the option of stealthing or beating the shit out of everyone

lets me spice some stuff up

[lavish cypress]

or just take down as much as possible before going off

[opal zenith]

you can disarm Malone?

how

[mystic vault]

I think he means when you uh

stealth takedown him

then shoot him

[twilit marsh]

ye

[mystic vault]

which is what I did

[opal zenith]

ahhhh

i couldn't figure out how to stealth to him

[leaden sable]

Just beat the shit out of him, kick him flying and he drops the whatever weapon held

[lavish cypress]

that's a lot of mooks in his room

[open coral]

YOOO IT FINALLY LOADED

[mystic vault]

they leave if you wait

[lavish cypress]

and yeah, I got the gun by kicking him until he's down

[open coral]

and nvm it crashed again

[twilit marsh]

get his goons to come get you, he doesn't get alerted for some reason

[mystic vault]

got all the mooks while they were out and then kicked his ass

[opal zenith]

I should've conserved a gas canister

what is the point of the basement

[lavish cypress]

I thought there was a hidden room

maybe it's just not present in the demo

[twilit marsh]

why wouldn't there be a basement

[opal zenith]

there might've been

[twilit marsh]

I like the idea of having things with no point to them, just bc they would be there

[atomic barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVP_cotUYbA

[opal zenith]

but it seemed entirely empty except for a gas canister, which is fairness is indeed a grenade

but yea

holy shit

[atomic barn]

I speedrun through th demo

[mighty folio]

can't you just run through the boards

[static basin]

does anyone know how to fix the game being stuck on loading for like 10 minutes and then crush

[leaden sable]

Demo goes public
speedrun 20 mins after
bruh

[open coral]

I just want to try the demo

[valid shale]

[next oyster]

Did anybody find any lore?

[opal zenith]

what a fucking run

[static basin]

can u help me with that

[opal zenith]

nice work

and i found the comic book and the newspaper

and the receipt

and the kitchen note

good stuffs

my playthrough was about 52 minutes

[atomic barn]

found some notes, in the room where the key was.

[brisk rose]

Lol this might need some work

[oak dust]

has anyone had a bug where the whole envoirment is basically unloaded

[brisk rose]

Personally not really a fan of enemies being exactly how you left them after death. Since it undermines dying since nothing was lost.

[oak dust]

like everything seems to be working ok but everything's either see through, black or invisible

[open coral]

aaaand it's fucked

[oak dust]

yep

I got the exact same bug

[atomic barn]

I back this up too

[harsh atlas]

same

[prime linden]

yeah

[oak dust]

I'm getting the same issue no clue what's causing it

[open coral]

well it's the first time the game has at least successfully loaded for me

[prime linden]

idk the game runned well for me

[oak dust]

it's loaded everytime for me

just

looks like that

[harsh atlas]

i beat the whole demo with no bugs

[static basin]

i just want to play the game

[atomic barn]

Me too... I even speedrunned

[mystic vault]

gonna be honest

[atomic barn]

(meaning I played multiple times)

[arctic wharf]

||that one room with the dead guy near the beginning who may or may not be an ace||

aren’t all the characters hand-drawn?

[valid shale]

is there a certain door that's just locked with no key?

[static basin]

I think I found a solution turn all the settings the lowest possible and it works and then u can turn u settings back inside of the game even tho my pc runs soon eternel and Titan Fall it somehow does this

[leaden sable]

banana peels
enemies don't trip on them
unplayable

[fallow seal]

If you're using an intel HD integrated chip, you have to disable occlusion culling

[fallow seal]

That should fix this issue

[opal zenith]

what does that option do exactly

[mighty folio]

47 moment

[open coral]

oh alright

I’ll see if it works

ok it did

[sterile marsh]

played a bit of the demo and already love it

[open coral]

[sterile marsh]

stylish

[mighty folio]

demo out! yaaay!

[oak dust]

yeah it does!!

[fallow seal]

Sorry about that! We're working on a fix

[sterile marsh]

maybe they should make it so higher difficulties respawn enemies?

[south cedar]

It'd be neat if you could interact with this lever again so you could bait guys into this room and trap them in

[earnest thunder]

Can you guys stop making such fun games my wallet can't keep up.

[stark skiff]

Bro this game looks good asf

[earnest thunder]

Jk this game is incredible.

[devout timber]

good game for potato laptop like mine

not complaining tho

[atomic barn]

when the pipe dudes throws the pipe at you and say "eat lead" is a reference to Rise of the triad?

[iron harness]

fallen aces in 4 words - cool noir action doom

[valid shale]

Oh I guess the door I found was some Vincent person's

[mystic vault]

its a reference to them throwing a lead pipe at your cranium

[atomic barn]

Is getting hit a reference to doom?

[leaden sable]

I assume it's demo thing since there is no save function

[cunning harness]

yea thats plausible

[valid shale]

lmao I alerted the whole fucking nightclub

anyway guess it's cleared out now at least

wow apples are healthy af

[past pivot]

Damn, the demo looks good

[opal zenith]

i want to subsist off a diet of bananas, apples and cola

so i can grow up big and strong like Mike

[static basin]

The game is lagging so much I can't even move it just crashes when I move and I have the recommended requirements

And more

Can anyone help

[past pivot]

Idk man

[past pivot]

strong like Mike Wazowski

[open coral]

I think this game would benefit a lot from a flashlight

[past pivot]

I think flashlights should be used by a specific kind of enemy

[open coral]

why not just have one attached to your person already

have it be some “nightwave gear” or something

[past pivot]

uhhh, because you would be easily be found ?

[open coral]

so?

that’s the case with most stealth games that include flashlights

[past pivot]

fair enough

[open coral]

i just don't really like groping my way through vents in the dark trying to figure out where they go lol

[mighty folio]

Fun demo

Moved to proper section

Also whoever voiced the protagonist and Miss Price sounded great.

[valid shale]

demo pan

[half leaf]

Wait... Is there no option to invert the Y axis?

[valid shale]

just turn ur screen upside down

or use a mirror rather

[iron sonnet]

Not currently

We'll add it in a patch

[half leaf]

That's a huge yikes for me. I'll have to wait until that's fixed.

[atomic barn]

someone already beat my speedrun D:

[iron sonnet]

I can put together a quick DLL patch now for it, gimme a sec

[half leaf]

If you do, definitely tweet a link.

A couple other people in the Doom community also raised this issue upon starting the demo.

[timber stirrup]

Just finished the demo, definitely enjoyed it, gonna throw in my two cents:

• Windup attacks should use more stamina, as from what it felt for me the stamina bar charges too quickly so I could just keep chaining windup attacks on mooks
• Some areas were a bit too dark and I had trouble finding objects in such areas, at least on my monitor

[iron sonnet]

@half leaf

Replace the original file in Fallen Aces Demo_Data/Managed/, and the game will have inverted Y-look

Feel free to share it around but we probably won't shout about this because it's only a temporary fix and won't work with future updates

In fact, using this with future builds would likely break them

[valid shale]

does the demo end suddenly perhaps or will it be obvious what will be the end trigger?

[cursive ember]

Theres a whole cutscene and stuff

[half leaf]

Thanks, will do.

[valid shale]

i mean i just don't want to accidentally end it by walking into a trigger

[cursive ember]

nah you gotta talk to someone

[fair aurora]

There is a very obvious end yeah

you wont do it on accident

[opal zenith]

yea

[valid shale]

ok thx

[opal zenith]

I almost thought there was gunna be an escape sequence

i'm assuming that'll be E1M4

[valid shale]

are there checkpoints perhaps?

[opal zenith]

nope
