you don't even need to dash, incredible
see
Yeah you guys are hackers
GODDAMIT
I play vanilla
fuck yeah
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO UPLOAD MY NEW RUN
haha
lmao
where should i upload runs?
it was the one that broke the 1:28 barrier
we be speedrunning this bitch up
i just upload to my youtube then i link it usually
Finally broke the 1:28 barrier. it can still be improved but frankly im tired gn.
da run
just turned out you can do a large skip from the beginning to the park
good time
1 minute!
yeah i know
wait
Yeah so far my 100% Speedrun is sitting at 36 seconds
where do we end the split?
Room for improvement tho
gotta find put how to quickly gop through the second floor
i end it the second i press untie on delia
This is counting cutscenes
Wait you have to get the book to talk to her?
I thought it was optional
oh you don't need it?
yeah its optional
then probably I couldn't rescue her because the enemies were looking for me
I haven't beaten it without the book but I assumed it's optional
you get the book in 100%
vid now
No
ok
nightdick
anyway back to running

wait no i exported it weird
it just launched
You're insane!

but can you jump up a near 90 degree slope and get out of the map to reach the end trigger within 40 seconds

davinci resolve you fucking piece ofs hit
you could skip that door this way
That fence was made to be hopped
Anybody find the aces badge?
FUCK I didn't think of making everyone stay outside the room with her
ye
It's in her ||dressing room||
I saw it my first run, now I don't even remember where I saw it lol
not sure how effective it is
or what's the actual condition for being able to untie her
ok okay, here
I got her out by knocking only the first dude next to her in my first run
man speedruning this game has been fun this game is actually the first time ive ever tried to speedrun anything
here
how do i convert a zdoom map to a txt file man
idk if its faster than just shooting everyone in the face quickly
no it's not, I tried that many times lol
This shit is getting insane lol
these clips are low key making me want want to try some runs
in slade
yeah its super fun
export as textmap
how i am big dumb dumb
make sure you add .txt after your file name
Seems like it, I might run through it casually a few more times and then try some
my atttempts started as me briskly walking through the demo then it became sprinting, then it became sprinting with multiple skips
and these times are being done not even a day in too
I know i cant stop i wanted to go to sleep 30 minutes ago
I got my whole night free so imma be busy
ok i believe i have done it correct this time, (i probably havent im a very stupid man) but im like 99.99% sure that this is the first ever custom fallen aces map.
You can find the demo in steam! Also, I would recommend you this one!
MOTHERFUCKER I BEAT YOU TO IT BUT CAN'T GET IT RUNNING
HAHA
my map is literally just one sector with one texture a player start a weapon and a single enemy
Will that actually run though?
That's a wad file, Aces will only load raw UDMF textmaps
knew i probably did something wrong
i'm trying to remember how to even export into a textmap in Slade
Cause i can't
rememberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
speedrunning this game reminds me of the fng course in cod 4
i am a very stupid man and am inept at using basic programs
how do i export as raw UDMF textmap?
Make sure your map was created in UDMF format in Doom Builder, and then open your map wad in Slade
Then just export the map lump
yup and then to load it ingame, add a new episode
just follow how the mothdemo folder is set up
I AM THE FIRST EVER TO MAKE A CUSTOM FALLEN ACES MAP
That's how I did it the first time
it just works lol
I WILL RECORD FOOTAGE PRONTO
NO I JUST FINISHED TOO
WE ARE THE FIRST
I MADE A STUPID GIANT ROOM WITH MALONES FACE
I thought I'd have to deal with the other guy too
I SENT IT FIRST SO THEREFORE I AM THE FIRST
NO
anyway that might be an optimal run already lol
same, until I remembered how I accidentally did it the first time
ok i will be uploading my final run in a sec
The orig.wad of Fallen Aces
yes
mr.fallen aces are you proud of me
i modded it -5 seconds so therefore its a good game
it's pretty epic
no seriously though how did you get it to load
the beginning of a new wave of terry.wads
magic
this time iss very good by expect people to beat it soon but for now gn
we've been going through a whole speedrun discovery arc you can see it on my channel
I DIDN'T SAY THAT
see i actually did it
based
@odd tuskHave you tried going over the higher roof and not even going into the park to jump over the gate? seems faster to me
can i get £20 in new blood store credit for my contribution to the community
I had high expectations for the demo
not length wise but material wise
it did deliver and beyond
I mean this
I am in love
this game is too cool
tried it and it Felt faster for sure
I'll open the demo once again
damn you guys already trying to break the game?
very
JUST CONFIRMED THE TRICK EXISTS AND IS FASTER
not a difficulty at all lol
FUCK NO LONGER GN
defo faster
inb4 someone says they found a way to just clip out
lol
if I ever recover from this massive earr*
weirdest bug I've EVER seen
or, heard, in this case
god i love the fallen aces soundtrack
I OPENED IT AGAIN AND THE VOLUME WAS STILL LIKE 1000%
I fixed it by touching the master volume bar lmao

lol so its a bug
anyone run into this bug
never happened to me, i was wondering why spruce said her ears got fucked
its that time of the month
Their face?
I'll assume you know it but for those who don't, I got below the mook, he fell down and stayed like that
Can confirm mordetwi's map works. Which I think makes me the first person to play another person's custom map in Fallen Aces 
ok there's something wrong with the option bars
if I lower them, close the game, and then open it again
anybody had steam say the demo is still playing but the process for it closed?
everything that I lowered goes up for like 1000%
I had to force quit steam for it to close
not with the demo but with other games it can happen
everytime everyone uploads a new vid i get ptsd thinking its a new speedrun trick
that's how I got my ears fucked, because the master volume was lower
I can imagine it having to do with a 1.0x / 1% confusion but that's just speculation
There was a bug in Hylics 2 for a while that was that and it made enemies do 99% less damage
and with that gn
would it be possible to save time running on this fence and going through the bathroom?
gotta record all of this and time that shit
FUCK IM OUT OF RETIREMENT AGAIN
lol
im going to eat dinner, report back with findings
also do you crash into the trash can in front of the vent? maybe not a real time save but it's convenient to just sprint into it and have it break like that
not having to care about it
cant wait to be put in the history books
giving it 3 hours before people start making TAS runs
yeah, I gotta try that one
waht are the tools used to have a counter in a corner?
now you gotta start making some real maps
I do that when I'm not horrible enough to miss the trash can with my sprint lol
WHEN I FIND OUT HOW TEXTURES WORK THAT IS
@naive raft managed to figure that part out I think
currently a maybe
Its possible but idk if its faster
it makes me really happy seeing my drawing there
Anyway very nice demo 😘 Way better than I expected, and I didn't expect it to be bad at all.
is from my screenshot cutout I guess
Yeah I bet
idk man getting red all over my splits it might be slower
similar to dusk alpha to the final product, or the gloomwood demo to the final product
yeah, this demo is amazing and really fun
its honestly like a SUPER tiny fraction of what they have planned
any ways its 1 am wher i am now so im done gn and i mean it this time
I really like the title intro splash, the title screen and the menu
Not that I don't like the actual game too, just saying that a nice title is nice to have
Really welcoming
Nicest title screen from NB so far
uhh
yeah, cozier
tbh i forgot about ultrakill
it has a functional menu that looks ok but not as sexy as FA
Trey & Jason actually had that menu before we even started publishing the game
It was very cool to see
oh nice
Fallen Angels lol
really nice feel along with the background and the music
Yeah that's the original editor before we switched to using Doom Builder
I just hope we get to play this demo one day
once the whole game comes out
Might be cool to release it like other NB prototypes yeah
like amid evil's alpha pack
That was a fun demo. I look forward to the full version.
Seems like the logical companion piece to the Dusk + AE bundle.

ultrawood
kyle and FA bundle
Fallen aces is stylistically like archer except fun
Played some of the fallen aces demo
Was fun
Still slightly miffed you can’t make enemies slip and fall with the banana peel
I was honestly expecting that too
you can i think its just bugged
well, to be honest
it's kinda funny to think you can just knock someome out by throwing a banana peel on their face
Yeah we just didn't have time to implement it
oh yeah? I though it was bugged lol
ouch
there were times that they jumped over the banana peels, like they knew it was there
reminds me of l4d zombies climbing over street signs
Is it possible a ost will release for the demo ala ultrakill or is that gonna wait a bit longer?
||the mobster closet joke was fantastic btw||
I had to put together what things would have been like had I not blown up that canister
was busy beating up the dozen guys that got alerted
where should i start my splits for the run? right when the crosshair appears or when i can move
id say crosshair, soulds like it's easier to tell exact time from that
anyone know how to get though cracked walls?
blow them up
with what?
propane tanks
havent seen any. ill look around inside a bit ig
i know of two,there might be moretho
I start right as the game fades in
hats off to the devs, ive been listening to a guy shit himself for 7 mins straight now and im still waiting for it to finish
why the fuck is everything black
like as in, its a bug? or you just dislike darkness?
When I first tried the game out almost everything was either black or transparent, though turning off the occlusion setting fixed it. Maybe that's the issue he's having?
Didn't help the abysmal framerate, though. I have no idea what the issue was, but this game would NOT run well on my computer.
44s 
Speck and shine your record is mine.
oh shit
Ghosting in this is so fun
what’s that
Not being seen at all
Right
I was able to hide from Malone and 6+ goons behind a small sofa and chopping all of them
After a few stealth runs I just decided to walk straight into the middle of the Moth and Flame and pack a bunch of sodas
Was fun
the chop is satisfying
it's the little musical stinger that plays when you do it that makes it
the chop is the epitome of satisfying
Heard Malone say something about Glass Jaw but I never could figure out what the whole sentence was
i wasnt sold on the game at first when i seen the original trailer
but it seems like new blood doesnt know how to disapoint
probably the only game i'll skip on is gloomwood and thats more down to me not liking survival horror as much
AYYY did you Goombas know that there is a noir filter?
did mike just yall goombas
The ability to grab a guy by his collar, move him around, and punch him through a fence sold me on this.
That's coming, we didn't have time to add it in. Like many other features in the trailer, headshots, carrying bodies, burping etc
Do you mean it's not in the demo, or won't be in the game itself on release?
It'll be in the main game
The most important feature:being able to have Bodley noises 
This game feels like it'll be a very long, multi-faceted bar fight the entire time and I love it.
There will be more enemies than just these ones. EP2 we have weird enemies planned
beat the demo, gotta say it was great and im excited for the full game keep up the good work
Will they have just as amazing dialogue as the current ones
People seemed mixed on the dialogue. I tried to write it the best I could.
I love it
It gives personality to the experience
The codec calls are done pretty well
i think it fits the theme really well
What do some not like about it?
I think some people felt it was cheesey or force but like some of the campier stuff was intetional. Like the gangster lines are supposed to be a lil corny.
i mean the game emulates what a mob film sounded like
Mike, Malone, Delia and Nightwave's stuff was supposed to be more serious
The cheesiness is part of why I like it
dialog felt spot on for what it's supposed to be IMO
There's a good combination of both I think
Obv the poopin guy was supposed to be ultra serious depiction of IBS
@GetGianni This line is going to get a lot of attention (as it should), but my favorite is the tutorial goon at the building edge being like “oooh I just hope some sap tries sneaking up on me. I’ll even keep my back turned so I can spin around at the last second and kick his ass.”
The dangers of bowel problems 😔
Makes me laugh every time
if this makes any sense to anyone, the games dialog sounds like your typical 60's/70's film depicting the 1920's/30's as a film noir
I gotta play Deathloop. Dave tells me it's full of self aware stuff like this
yep lol
The Untouchables is one of my favorite period mob movies so that might be why
Like alerted enemies being like “hey I’m feeling left out!” when Colt beats the stuffing out of several enemies
so, the dialog sounds and feels like it fits right into to what it is
and yeah toilet guy, i jumped over the stall wall and punched him
played demo. it was great, excited for full release
I love how he reads a comic too 
keep up the great work
like i said over in gami_g i wasnt sold on the game with the first trailer, the demo did sell me though
So some funny dialogue happens if you let enemies wake up other enemies that are knocked out
yep
its hilarious when you knock them back out
right in front of the guy too
gave me that skyrim style stealth logic
i think my fav parts is the level intro dialogue
Must have been the wind
but yeah when i first seen the game in the trailer, my main thought was, "oh cool, you really dont see that cel shaded comic noir look these days"
but wasnt sold on the gameplay
actually getting to play though gave me a good impression on it though
probably the game that i instantly thought of seein fallen aces at first was XIII
Matches Malone? Is that a Batman reference?
So I went the extra mile and had a lore explanation for why his shitting is SO violent. If ya read why the kitchen door is locked, it's because this guy was stealing food. They gave him horse laxatives. https://t.co/00UmUW5N2n
how has he not shit out his intestines
it looks just like him holy shit
match and everything
Batman TAS didnt even come up honestly
when i see the name malone for a mobster i think of Bugsy
I took inspiration from TAS alot but never knew of this alias
yeah i never knew that
the only batman esque thing i was aware of is how nightwave is a shitty failed batman lol
my wallet's gonna be hurting
Yeah he's Kinda like Batman/The Shadow
Except bad at his job
Monster Hunter Rise, Postal: Brain Damaged, Elden Ring, now Fallen Aces
wait till they meet the other aces
The dead ones you mean lol?
Delia is cool, she's the only one who isn't a complete fuck up
at least the stuff youve shown us
some of their designs are 💯 👌
I should show that off, some people may have never seen them. You'll meet some of the ACES later. The alive ones anyway. And learn more about them and what happened to get them disbanded and why the city is a mess. They all have human flaws just like Mike
Like an image of them all
Yeah one sec
Love the goon line when they didn't fully detect you that say "must've had a stroke again"
They are a few missing from that one
scuba Steven and greyhound
||the eyes watching you thing scared the shit out of me ||
there we go
dat demo chef kiss
who is fallen aces and why is he beating up all the gopniks
Oh vinnie? He didn't make it
That's why they loose sight of you so easily, not bad AI it's cuz they've had multiple strokes.
Because it makes the game more forgiving and easier to try cool things 
By all means, I think most stuff I could complain about are nitpicks
sadly
I'm glad people like the lore/story I really wanted to step it up with the voice acting and plot compared to other NB titles (Faith and Gloomwood excluded) To have the game really focus on characters and story a bit more.
Definitely interested in seeing what you guys have cooked up. I really enjoy the writing so far, nice mix of seriousness and levity
i think it works out really well, seeing this chat makes me hyped for whats to come
finally completed the whole demo
very fun
wasnt expecting the fuckin gun to come out of the piano lul
“Mozart if he was a good pianist”
The reason he was deaf was because of he kept capping off his 45.
plz tell me the dog is alive
We are trying to get one of these as an emote
don't kill the puppo
do enemys actually slip on banana peels or no because ive been trying for it for so long
It’s not in the demo
so its just a throwable
I'm seeing condemned being mentioned in reference to fallen aces, idk the game really and I can't find much about it on youtube
can someone give me a tldr
Fallen Aces. What a way to finish off my day of Next Fest. I fell in love as soon as I saw the massive building in the skybox.
You can throw trash cans at people. 10/10.
tl;dr fallen aces combat but slow-paced and spooky
Not entirely accurate but close enough for tl;dr standards
Condemned is just survival horror David Fincher Aces.
is it a indie game?
i like this game @next oyster
no
No Monolith made it, Big AAA game
i am extremely excited for this, you got no idea 
Oh
The matrix online people?
Blood people
good job with the combat and the weapon health system for pipes and bottles love the flow of combat
Fear people
anf FEAR
they made Blood (fortunately) and made Blood 2 (unfortunately)
but most importantly the matrix online people
yes but that's not what people around here remember them for
or most people for that matter, but that's beyond the point
Yeah I'm glad no one complained about weapon derogation..
I mean me neither I just watched a video about it today lol
Not yet. In the future yee
Fuck you steam next fest stop having cool demos
I like it. It gives you a reason to try other weapons.
Oh yeah
i found it more fair and fun then anything else
Speaking of which Caddicarus had a good video on Condemned if you're having trouble finding videos about it on youtube

im not sure if my PC is just ass but everytime the game loads to a different place, my pc just crashes
Love this one and pyro one
it gives a sense that u need to be wary of how frequent u use a weapon
also about the ai i don't want to call it bad but its not the smartest
it gives me a sense of panic
they had strokes
thats the fun part 
indeed
Too much horse laxatives
ive been fucked hard by the weapon derogation sm and i love it
see thats why i use the K I C K to stop me from dying
^
Yea,it’s not like you’re defenceless without weapons
i just kick them in the balls then run to find something to throw at them
thats why its good in this game unlike botw where if ur weapon breaks ur screwed
yeah
guardian flashbacks
So enemies will react to weapons you pickup.
also i like how you did guns you made them really op but low ammo and you can use them as a melee to
i swear i heard a line where i picked up a bottle and they said play fair or something like that
“My hands are in the air and they’re waving like they don’t care”
They'll also react to you if you are beating the shit outa their buddies, if you broke your weapon, if you kill one of their buddies, or they find bodies, blood or sleeping enemies
They'll also notice things that are different or if you opened a door
If you are out of ammo they'll say things like "He's out RUSH HIM!"
That will be added in the future so you can stealth hide bodies
eh i don't need stealth hide bodies
i need to kill them with bodies
but yeah that would be nice so i don't need to kick them everywhere
Is there an importance to leaving them alive?
No blood but they can be woken up
Not really, just a moral choice if you want that. Nightwave might get pissy.
Yea,he has a voice line if you kill Malone
"put that thing down and fight me like a real man"
wait you can KILL MALONE
I feel weird in games like Uncharted when you murder like 400 people and you are "the good guy"
i kept stealthing him
u can leave them unconscious or brutally kill them ur pick
Just got home and just started playing.
spoiler ahead:
||when the fuck did this turn into a horror game through the window.||
||found that scared the shit that he died ||
I uh, just found ||the room||
||EYE room?||
Yup
i thought something was gonna jump out on me
Wonder what happened to him
||He fell to pieces like the Aces lmao||
||yeah im sure||
hes just taking a spaghetti nap
seems comfy
Too much to eat
pasta fazool, he is a fool
Wait Trey, was that sound queue in that room the first few measures of Into the Fire?
also have you thought at making it when you die you restart at a check point and the ai resets so i don't get stuck crowed with enemys
@next oyster So me and another guy got custom maps to SORT OF work but we can't seem to figure out textures. We've both gotten them to work in UDB but when we try to run it in Aces it refuses to fully load
The save system is placeholder for now
you punch a window and theres a locked door
you climb
Hit it enough
you kick it
this is such a cool art-style
yeah
game was very fun btw great demo
hmmm DM me sometime and I'll get back to you on how to do that hopefully
We did get it working without textures
kk
Other guy is currently asleep as far as i'm aware
We both tried Aces, he got it running without textures but neither of us could get it working WITH textures
We did manage to get npcs working, but thats about it
im really just wondering how many easter eggs there are.. guess ill find out eventually
Probalby some kind data loading issue
I used an output log to see what the errors were and it seemed like meshes were loading twice?
there is an ultrakill reference in there
It certainly #ultrakill
i broke him
how visible is the refrence, i just NEED this.
like a small thing, or something on the level of the room?
think horny
oh lmao
Gamig
hm, ascension
It "technically" works like this, though fighting is more guesswork as to the enemy's location than actual strategy
It's kinda like that one Doom 2016 xbox bug but worse
Photoshopped, where are the endless black lines?
found a blue pixel in the wrong spot, literally unplayable
i love garbage can stacking in this game
also him short
i found out how to recreate this bug
what if you could fire the gun during the spinning animation, but you just accidently shoot yourself and die.
you'll shoot your eye out kid
they can't see me
i hope
i did kill one of them while they were watching in that spot but i think they think he had a stroke

can't wait
jakob,gary,and glassjaw
Not Glassjaw, someone...much much worse
uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Champion fucking did a shitty job of literally killing Evil apparently
i must say,all new blood villians know howto dress 
absolutely
Is this something I can open up, or am I just thinking too hard?
thinking too hard
Don't go in there
It used to be an exit out of the level. Prolly will be in the future
We just bricked up the stairs
You know you say that and I was thinking: "This would make an excellent exfil point for me and the VIP."
||Or VID for Very Important Dame||
Hey Trey, can you name the toilet goon "Johnny"
he's taking a big john 
Exactly.
Welp I just found the toilet goon. No one deserves that punishment.
Comics zone 2 is real 😳
Why are the sounds so accurate?!
cuz they are real
He's got a name. It's Marty
Sharty Marty.
I wonder how much Gianni billed for 5 and a half minutes of shit
50lbs bag of kibble. That's what Civvie gives him.
Did Civvie do a stream? Anybody got a link?
I tried that and got a restraining order
How can this be Fallen Aces when there's only one Fallen Ace?
It was referenced in one of his last videos. Civvie said he paid Gianni in kibble as a bit.
Delia did that.
She hates poker
he's just exhausted
He ate horse laxatives
Hahahaha he's reading an ACES comic on the crapper when I peaked over to make sure he was okay.
Btw, Sugar-Free Gummy Bears will do to you what those laxatives did to Marty.
Ate a small 4oz bag as a joke (like a few handfulls) and uh, I was on the pot for HOURS.
I've heard that
I tried to set a trap with a banana peel by throwing it on the ground but it just disintegrated 
1.not implemented in the demo,2.just drop it
how
nvm figured it out
Demo's taking quite a bit of time to load.....
hey badpiggy!
it be like that
Yup. Stuck on a black screen rn
similar thing happening to me rn too
except it crashes afterwards
Seems reinstalling the demo helped
Civvie streams?
is it possible to noclip through the bathroom stall to watch the man poop
How many devs are working on the game?
You can kinda watch him from the counter next to where he's shitting
Looking over the stall
incredible
you could see him if you go up there
oh no 
it's just the first frame of when you get inside
and front facing you, because it'd be pretty dumb to draw and animate the 8 angles of him shitting lmao
only a madman
wait until the FA SDK comes out
lol
i love the fact that you can jump in there
Just found out a way to skip the second lock
you could do it with the first lock to
yeah
you can skip all the locks
speedrun straits
Marty violently shit any%
is there any way to turn off the hud
all frames are drawn with A MOUSE
wait really
yes
this man needs a raise
Alright, I got it down to 1:10.26
I need to get better with quickly opening up the locks
more like how
jesus ask Dave to send you a drawing tablet
Wait I just realized are they gonna update the demo? I saw a new blood tweet saying it’s gonna get updated
probably to fix bugs
we're working on a fix for this, apologies for the inconvenience
yes its gonna get updated
mostly for bug fixes?
like when I open the game, I always get assblasted by the music being 1000% louder, and the mouse sensitivity too being extremely fast 
It's a'ight
if so i know a bug
1:07:21
LET'S FUCKING GO
Mr. Dev man, do you support diarrhea speedruns of your game?
i think its a full solid not diarrhea
hey dev man how do you think of letting you choose your finisher
It sounds wet
i think thats just the water
nah full solid
Like Condemned?
its something no human has ever seen nor experienced
I stg the dev said it's diarrhea
Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.
Really chunky diarrhea
same
I'm guessing it's gonna be $20 like other nb titles?
we'll see!
that will be decided when we ourselves understand the full scope of whats been created, and whats fair
trey and jason gotta eat!
With all the work put in (especially the drawings with mouse), I'd totally be down for paying $30-35
ill be down even paying 40 to 60 with all the work going in
dusk 5
Please...my family is starving. My medical bills from the bear wounds are outrageous, I might have to sell the farm.
I mean it's only creating an entire fucking video game, how hard could it be?
Just played through the demo again on the hard difficulty. Good shit, looking forward to the full release even more now.
i just found out
if you do a finisher
and walk towards another enemy and make them go infront of you
it one shots them
and not the person you started on
so that means
you can do some cool one shot kills
i just killed Mallon with a banana
Does the truth serum do anything?
we gotta wise guy ova here
To continue cheesy 1920's dialouge, please insert 25 cents
fuck im out of quarters you take pennys

Who the fuck carries 25 pennies on them at once
got change for a dollar?
yeah i have 100 pennies that good
don't question me
You just keep em in a sack?
no a jar
got big pockets
You carry around a jar of pennies
yep
Flesh pocket or pants pocket?
depends on the pants im wearing
Jeans
hmm
Great to see the fallen aces chat have two conversations going where one is about speedrunning the demo and whether or not the goons assblasting is chunky or solid
Hey
depends on the brand
I'm helping to foster the community
Diarrhea speedrunning helps to build a sense of community
A familial sense even
Found one of the secret areas
i think thats the only secret room
also the ultrakill easter egg is cool
and guns
Somewhere right before the demo came out Mr. Powell said there'd be two big secrets I think
really
There some secrets yeah, small ones tho
You callin' that room "small" wise guy?
Smallness is something goons complain about in their dialogue a lot actually.
Do you have any intentions on adding the word "gabagool" to their dialouge?
possibly
Superb
i just played it it dont miss at all holy shit that was awesome
i think the max stamina should be reduced a fair bit
it would push me to think more about the actions i take during combat which would make it more thoughtful and engaging
also i've beaten this demo 4 times and its still a banger. i found one more hidden path to the building.
also the way parrying/blocking works is kinda scuffed
like i get how it works but the way its implimented feels unnatural
Blame Dave, you used to run out of stamina a lot more
Gotta time it right
and watch for fakes
i know how to time it its just that the way its implimented is the polar opposite of the other games i've played. like in sekiro you hold block right before the attack is about to hit you. but in fallen aces you have to hold down block while they're winding up and then when they hit you its a parry
its just kinda weird i guess. i dont rly know how to explain it
at first i thought they were just not going through with the attack because i stepped back too far. but then i realized it was a fakeout and i think thats pretty fucking cool
Depends on the weapon too, Frying pan is good for blocking, fists not as much
Fists also cant block weapon damage, only absorb it
Frying pan confirmed best
no one is allowed to disagree
played the demo today for the first time, fuckin FANTASTIC
Weapons have diff stats yeah, pipe is slow frying pan is slowest but good at block, Bottle is fast but can't block
each weapon has diff reach and durability
damn thats cool
will be more apparent when we add more weapons
apologies if this question gets asked a lot, but will there be a way to move bodies? to hide em after you smack em
:)
yes there will be a way to move bodies
we just didnt get it done in time
straight up
anything you feel like is missing, is probably planned
we just had to meet a deadline
there was a deadline
yes, the steam demo festival
hard to say, fallen aces had to be rebuilt in an entirely new engine from scratch
but a lot of the design work, assets, etc already existed in the previous engine
you could say when you started on the new engine
ok
seems about 1 year to the day
basically late last september
but its important to note we werent in full production mode that whole time
really, the demo you played was built in the last 2-3 months
thats really really impressive
closer to 4 actually, i guess? just checking commit logs lol
heres a visualization!
In the future youll be able to pick up and throw them
you can see a bulk of the work was done in the past 2-4 months
Yeah super mega crunch. it was tough lol
but now they can relax a ittle, and take it at a more reasonable pace
And get Mike a actual drawing tablet, cause while I can commend drawing with a mouse (as a fellow mouse artist) holy hell the carpal tunnel
oh, poggers
How much does a drawing tablet cost
I really like how kicking enemies into other enemies can sow chaos, I imagine THROWING an enemy into a group will be similarly nice
jesus christ people, it's extremely impressive to know that you did all of this in 4 months

I hope it got well received
oh shit 4 months? got DAMN
I absolutely loved fallen aces, I really wanna see where the story goes
I can already tell this game is something special, and I'll gladly wait for the future launch 🙂
the demo was absolutely great, but feels a bit too easy even on hard mode, i guess it's only a demo after all but still
Thank ya all
same. I was interested in Fallen Aces before, but the demo definitely turned it into excitement
even goin full loud
I figure that as the systems get more complex, you'll see more difficulty
simply backpedalling while dealing blows solves a lot of problems, but i guess guns can solve that
still i loved it, and especially the classic "listen to guard dialogue = funny" moments
cuz they ARE funny
yeah omg. "oh, must have just been a stroke" or whatever it was, I lost it.
same, what a chad
Yeah the enemy variety will help a lot
and also, the combat loop is not quite finished yet
yo is it true that fallen aces is actually in a "futuristic" setting? i remember seeing the dev say something about it on twitter
We are planning on adding a switchblade enemy and a BIG GUY
!! BIG GUY !!
can't have combat like that without a BIG GUY
yeah retro futurism
This will be great feedback so we can start to tune the combat much better
i hope his name is John
the biggest cheese was due to the fact that the attack speed is so quick and short stuns enemies without em putting up any resistance
The idea fo rthe big guy is won't be able to kick him down and daze him, plus he'll hit pretty hard
there is also gonna be more advanced types of the enemies you've been fighting that'll have more advanced moves
then EP2 is where the weird enemies come in
it's satisfying and fun but simple
and i get it's a demo so i can't wait for the combat to be more fleshed out with more enemy variety
yeah, that was something we were very aware of, its important to recognize its way better for a first impression to be too easy than to be ball bustingly difficult
def buying the game when it's out
cant wait to see vriska maps for fallen aces
mod support? 
the maps are doom format
OH SHIT
you can make custom ones with doombuilder
also, what engine is fallen aces running in?
yoooo let's goooo
unity
chungus Mook model for FALLEN ACES comes first probably
or sprite rather
So for now, the way to do it is doombuilder
but the game will ship with an editor of its own at launch
for now
dont judge
jujj
hold on are you saying you can do doombuilder stuff and use it in FA right NOW?
Yes
or am i misunderstanding
right now
technically yeah
YOOOOOOOOOOO
the second I get free from these tests, I'll make another Fallen Aces fanart
chungus mike
yeah someone posted a screenshot of that already
been a while since i touched doombuilder let's go
😔
now you're the fallen ace
Gabriel in fallen aces!1+!!11!
