the union boys start saying "drop that thing and fight me like I man"
then I take out my bottle, break it against their face and stab them eleven times
and if couldn't tell
yes I am a psychopath
Love everything from the demo. Noir ex gonna be fire
I just finished the demo and I fucking loved it, almost entirely stealthed it, only got caught twice, one of those times was blowing a hole into a wall killing like 4 other guys or something idk hard to tell from pieces left over, guess i'll be buying this day 1 whenever soon™️ is
I somewhat hope this won't be one of those super gib happy games
i wonder if there will be uploads of the music in the demo posted somewhere
even tho the games not fully finished, it'd be nice to listen to the music already included
even if its just uploads to yt or something
im wondering what the current record is for the beta speedruns
All I've seen of this game is the shitting scene and that makes me wanna play it
that dank 520 🍀
I found a run that was 40 seconds but the route they used got patched
jesus
Ima attempt to get a better run later today
the full game will probably be at least 1 second longer than that
OMG ppl are already speedrunning, well done
Speedsleuthing
I don't think it took more than an hour after it got released
proud of ya
That’s not my run it’s really good tho

HERE IT IS
THE
BIG
ONE
#FALLENACES #DEMO #SPEEDRUN
Might have been wrong with starting my splits, so consider this a practice run
Sucks this was patched
Yea I’m the other video I sent the guy mentions it in the comments
i like how mike's alright with that
he feels sorry for marty :(
yeah, poor guy
Maybe there should be a sad face sprite thing when mike hears all this
Because thats just brutal
are you guys playing it in noir color or not
mike me or mike protagonist
mike protagonist
so me
what
If you haven't caught on to the bit yet idk what to tell you
i needed this thanks
glad to be of service
I just listened to a man shit out his soul for 5 minutes
ROTT?
damn right
i was thinking i would have trouble with judging dissidents but i did ok, mainly due to me doing stealth
Who's making the levels?
Alright so I just want to know if it's possible to get a tommy gun in the demo. Like a secret or something. Not asking where it is I just want to know if it's possible?
Not yet
Maybe in a later patch they'll add another weapon
To a place that doesn't really have anything at the moment
he's dead for sure this time
I simply love this game
I selected sleep with the fishes
and as intended
it was the thugs who chose that resting place

Nice
I submitted a request on speedrun.com so we can have a leaderboard and everything
It said it could take 1-4 weeks so it should be up soon
hell yeah, is there a discord server?
Nah but I can make one later
alright sick
I joined this one cause I couldn’t find on for speed running
I been here cause newblood is just sick
Facts
sure
The game seems to break when trying to customize controls.
Specifically, when I try to set movement to arrow keys.
GAMING.
@pallid crystal i found a new method for getting delia faster at the end without the chop
you crouch punch the dude and then press e on her
Anyone notice how the cutscenes use up all of the computer's gpu and end up being laggy (I am able to skip the cutscenes without any issue, it's just a weird thing when the cutscenes end up not running very well)
I don't have a very powerful laptop, but that was the first time I've ever encountered a somewhat broken cutscene that took up all of my GPU and continued to run with the cutscene skipping parts, images, and voice lines along the way. Good demo though
hole shit
outdated
I know I was just showing off the method at the end and my pb
does look like it saves a second
Yea ima try and grind so i can get a better run and use that end thing
I'm curious about the sound design here... 🤔
https://mobile.twitter.com/GavinUK86/status/1443991122141921280
What in the actual fuck @TreyPowell1964 @NewBlood
😄😄😆😆😂😂🤣🤣
#FallenAces
And it just continues for like another 5+ minutes with the most violent shitting I have ever heard https://t.co/2FK9odGA0d

Where'd you get the sounds?
new blood has deep pockets
... and deeper bowels.
I told you people. WE BUGGED GIANNIS BATHROOM!
What's so hard to understand about that?
That explains a lot.
"Oh, hey babe." 😏
If I hadn't found this message, I would have thought Amontillado's skeleton was behind there.
How come when I get to the part with the burning building I can't kick the guys through the windows and into the inferno?
cuz fire prorogation hasn't been implemented yet and we only had 4 months to get the demo out the door.
Because they have ligma, which makes them immune to fire
wuts ligma
[/clueless]
fire protection i guess
Fallen Aces Murder %
Oh yeah I saw that but couldn’t figure it out
you hit the dude and press e immediately after
I remember reading someone said that Giannis performance reminded them of a time when they had food poisoning
Gianni has the power to invoke pepole's poop PTSD
voice acting at it's finest
Marty
Marty ending (True ending)
also I kicked a Medkit out of boredom and serendipity but it seems to produce... glass shattering sounds???
and the glass just spawns out of Mike's head
also i want to know the farms where Switchblade City gets their bananas and apples from
because Mike's kick can shatter lamps, vending machines, jukeboxes, all manners of chairs, and the likes in just one singular kick
however, the apples and bananas weather four kicks to be destroyed
that's as much durability as doors
how strong does your teeth have to be to eat apples in this world 
will there be high risk high reward melee weapons in the future?
One thing i really liked about condemned was the fact that fire axes and sledgehammers felt so good to kill with because they required a lot of commitment to actually hit an enemy
this isnt because i only use greatswords, greataxes and greathammers in dark souls
yes
what a face
You asked for it, we got it.
u did it
honestly surprised it wasn't in from the beginning
The world is at peace
Yeaaaah!
bannana peel only run when
This is the first time I've opened this chat and this is the first thing I saw
Welcome to the family, son
Everyone's talking about how you can hear Gianni shitting for 5 minutes but no one is talking about how you can interrupt his shitting by jumping over the stall and beating that very shit out of him with a pipe, leaving him a defeated, shit-covered husk.
Wanted it to happen from the beginning, it was still fun throwing the peel at my enemies
WTH is going on here

I gathered them in a pile and propane
just found out you can sprint into enemies to charge into them
why does the coke drinking sound sound like mikes drinking it right next to my ear
ain't that how all people drink coke?
just beat the game twice on sleep with the fishes without weapon or otherwise
just my fists and legs
first time I left the microphone on so the sound doubled
and the second time I died for the first time during my 2.7 hours of playing the Demo
found this
so here's the video
Recorded here is my first death through my two hours of playing the Demo, you can see my confusion when it happens.
ok beat the demo
this is really really good
hell yeah it is, that's why I have like 5 hours in it already
i can imagine some character using that as their attack
there is only one ACES card and it's in the dressing room
That’s a badge
Well that ruins poker for the goons
Now they don't have ace cards
They're stuck with extra jokers
this could actually be hilariously powerful because enemies that would slip over are vulnerable from an insta-kill from either a punch or a kick
banana is the new soap
everything is the new soap here
been listening to the menu theme slowed down by 20% for a while
i just realized something,marty isnt shitting on the toilet 
I wasn't drawing rotations for that man. I don't want nightmares
Marty's practicing levitation
fair enough
Trey: I'm not drawing a man's asshole for a video game.
Meanwhile, in Amid Evil:
fallen aces soundtrack when?
I just realised that the goon who's having a bad day in the bathroom sounds like one of the VAs for the arkham series goons
its gianni
I can't tell if that's a yes or a no
I think it might be coincidental
since I assume they tried to do a typical goon accent
it's not just the accent
it's the growl and tone of his voice that captured my attention
I might be mistaken though
it has been a while since I played any arkham game
Gianni wasn't a VA for any of the Arkham games
Demo is great, very hype for game. Thank you dev
https://youtu.be/ZAiohRRsWHY my friend got this run we gettin close
has that cola always been there
really good run
i feel like that cola was put there to compensate for the rooftop skip fix lol
in which case it's pretty awesome
Ngl shouldn’t have played the demo
Now I’m infinitely more impatient for the full release
fill that void with outspeedrunning the speedrunners
You cannot beat my 42.57
me and kenny on our way bro
I’ve played through the demo several times and have been debating on attempting a speedrun
@pallid crystal kenny just got 40.29 lmao
lol
still not .57
https://youtu.be/-gqvXecc12w
he got a 40 ill send it rn
no way
im getting it rn
i retimed it in an editing software and he got 40.02 with loads and 38. something without
WHAT
no timer
and he yells "41.88"
while title claims 40.02
I'm gonna not count that
download it and put it in an editing software
no
his pc glitches out with his recording program
i could send you a sc of it
no
aight man
lmfaoo alr buddy
beat the demo with no weapons/throwing objects
only played on wise guy, eh? but it was still fun
not that hard, chops make a lot of encounters easier and if you hit someone when they're knocked down they're instantly knocked out
@dense scaffold https://youtu.be/CSQIef9uJic
Recorded here is my first death through my two hours of playing the Demo, you can see my confusion when it happens.
what a great little demo! max payne/XIII with fists (+kicks) I was medium before but now I'm omega in! ^_^
good shit
just finished the demo
Will this be released on GOG when done?
@brazen locust sorry to ping you but there's a question
I don't know actually, ask Dave lol

who's dave?
and since we're here
do you guys have a separate discord?
lmao
I dono dude maybe it might be possible
Recorded here is my first death through my two hours of playing the Demo, you can see my confusion when it happens.
Just played through the demo, dude that's gonna be a easy buy when it comes out
indeed
Where's the GABAGOOL
woke up this mornin! GA BA GA BA!
So what? No fuckin ziti now?
I'd really appreciate any feedback on this video
It's a review of Fallen Aces, please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think
Oh, it's my first video, too 🙂
https://youtu.be/agxann_acZ8
Hello everyone and welcome to Fallen Aces.
Fallen Aces is a crime noir FPS that plays right out of the '90s and looks right out of the comics. That's what New Blood Interactive say, anyway.
This unique take on a modern yet classic game developed by Trey Powell and Jason Bond is a game I've been excited to try out as soon as I heard about it.
Wat...
halfway through it at the moment, but excellent review so far
I would not have guessed this was your first time, keep going
I did a sleep with the fishes, no items run and I only died twice
Thank you so so much! Will do 🙂
Feel free to message me privately about games you'd like to see reviewed or any other content you think could work, I'm open to suggestions
Appreciate the time!
heres a run
does the E interaction for objects and food need the release input too? i feel like im spamming it yet the item has ultra instinct and is dodging
it likes to make me hold food when im basically just pressing the key
oh that would explain it
it probably checks whether you still have the crosshair on the thing on key release
not a fan of the tap/hold in general but it was fine for the demo
I'm probalby gonna swap the hold thingy. Instead of hold to store, It'll be hold to use, tap to store
that sounds better
that way we can hold E to swipe items since holding the key then going over it will hold it
im holding E by the way
heres maybe my last run
I have a question
If, by a coincidence, someone like ME wanted to make another Fallen Aces fanart, but this time I want to stick to the artstyle even more...
What are some good sources to use as references for the colors and drawing style?
Is the dash at the beginning faster than just sprinting?

0 clue but it does transfer the momentum so maybe
Ok
Bro that’s crazy we gonna be under 40 seconds for sure now
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/752224678369820685/893971706476130346/Fallen_Aces_Demo_2021-10-02_14-22-22.mp4 here was an older run that didnt use cola
guess its gotta redownload itself to embed?
I dunno, just look at screenshots
@icy ice how do you do the dash and keep that speed?
hello boomer shooter protagonist, my name is boomer shooter protagonist
not bad
ok tried again
1:39.72
at the second locked gate you can jump over the fence with the guys chasing you if you jump on their heads
gonna play the gianni shit tape over the work speaker wish me luck
I can get it down to 1:30 I think
bloody hell
1:17.79
current strats:
jump over as much shit as possible in the first bit, drink the coke for the speed boost, then run past as many guys as possible till the second gate. jump on one of the benches, wait for one of the guys to start swinging and hope you can jump over the fence. then leg it for the sneaky entrance
if anyone gets sub 1 min ping me
the cola gives you infinite stamina is all (i think)
Sorry I was on the spaceship
No signal
Im back on earth though
don't go to switchblade city tho
epic duke nukem theme plays
banger game

Is there secrets in the demo
Yes
If Aces had a lame Golden Age comic type villian, what would it be? What would his gimmick be?
Marty: The Atomic Dumper
the house:the worlds biggest loan sharks
is he part shark?
that would be interesting
I hope the game references pulp like, "The Shadow," and has some dramatic villians in that style too, aha. Maybe some references to, "War of the Worlds," and whatnot.
Maybe some references to the Weird Tales Magazines, or even the old detective comics.
if you want him to be lame but still an actual villain with gameplay make him Household Objects Man or something and give him that mega-nailgun idea that was thrown around in here
a normal guy lugging around basically an entire workbench and air compressor for their dumb megagun is peak golden age jobber that still puts up way too much of a fight
I only found, the notes, the black book, the hidden pistol and an aces badge, what else is there?
Where can you find Ms. Price's book in the demo? I looked in the files and found 2 cutscenes for the end: delia_cutscene & delia_cutscene_no_book
Bathroom
Behind the moth
Thanks vro 😄 found it!
👍
This chat has some gen vibes
also, are there any other levels other than MothDemo and TestEpisode?
Nope
TestEpisode is in the files?
Well yeah we had a strict deadline lol
zombie go to the secret hideout inside the club section
and look at the wooden beams on the ceiling
they a bit buggy
There's a lot we wanted to get in there but didn't have time for
but we're still proud of how it turned out
you guys have a great game on your hands
disregarding the (albeit hilarious) bugs , its pretty great
id say another thing that needs work is the way parrying works
there were some pretty hilarious bugs prior to release
its way too clunky to figure out the window
more hilarious than looking through the void by watching a wooden beam?
unconscious enemies could wake up other unconscious enemies
or enemies snoring after being shot in the head lol
is it not impossible to sleep next to another person irl too
this one's still in lol
imma copy and paste what my buddy found since i cant send an image
"ngl had a decent time with the Fallen Aces demo. It's not perfect, not by a long ways, but it definitely shows some promise
the voice acting is really spotty in places, the dialogue is inconsistent, and the combat feels a bit clunky at times, but I like the art style and presentation of the comic book cutscenes. They actually did their research and didn't go overboard with color, but a more lowkey color scheme that actually more accurately reflects noir comics of that era
I do think the game is a little excessive with the hand-holding. I died twice during the demo, once because I just took too much damage, and the second death being on purpose to test my theory. It only resets you near the most recently-unlocked floor door. Given how small the levels are, this can be as little as like 20 feet away from where you died
also, when you die and respawn back in, enemies maintain the same health as when you were last alive, making endgame boss fights fairly easy, as you can just yolo it by hurling yourself at the enemies without restraint, because death holds no meaningful consequence
the game definitely needs some more polish in regards to both gameplay balance and general bugs. I noticed a lot of dead bloodied enemies snoring on the ground after being shot in the head, which was funny but odd. Likewise, enemies would sometimes just melt into and become one with the floor in some instances, which I think is a visual bug resulting from the shared 2D nature of both the enemy models and the 2D-inspired level art style" - my buddy Dan
i'd say this
Yeah the respawning thing is because we didn't have enough time to do a save system
That's just for the demo
the game's way way way too easy
i played on sleep with the fishes
i beat the ever loving shit out of the club level
and never died once throughout my 3 playthroughs
will there be more difficulty settings
also i appreciate that pistol on top of the building
love the names of the current ones btw
i love using game mechanics to find goodies
also wanna know the funny bit
i found the secret way in the club on my first playthrough lol
which secret way?
so when you get to the street with the club on it
grab a trash can, i think theres like a bench there, put it on the bench, jump on it, over the wall and bam, looksie to the left
theres a way in
hang on gotta play again
There are three ways into the club, yeah
yeah
another thing
just got to the club in like 6 ish mins
you can just run past enemies with no consequence lol
pretty funny ngl
yeah just go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallen Aces Demo\AcesData\Episodes\TestEpisode
open the episodeInfo.txt file and change Priority to 10
and change the episodeInfo.txt file in MothDemo to 0
Interesting, I guess the episode selection menu was just disabled for the demo or something
Normally when there's more than one episode in the files you'll get a menu to select them
It's just tall white room with shadows, destructible props, and a pipe weapon
Yeah I've seen it
I'm guessing that it will be in the full game as there's a poster for the Moth chapter in the demo
I just didn't think we included it in the demo files
there
took me 4 mins to run through the club
so 10 mins in total
if you just book it
If you ask me, that's more of a "doctor, it hurts when I beat the shit out of myself" lol
"just don't do that"
lol
oh yeah neat stuff with the eye room
really unsettling
good job on that
also a thing i hope gets solved
some things have pixelated textures
like the planks
There are 2, one on the left beside the main door. It's an open vent blocked off by trashcan props. This will take you behind the stage in the bar.
And the one behind the wall on the far right of the entrance. You'll need to use the bench and a trashcan prop to stand-on to get inside. This brings you into the toilets where the Delia's book is .
As in they don't have texture filtering? Or do you just mean they're low res?
Most of the assets in the AcesData folder are lower res than usual, so that's probably it
Chances are it'll be fixed later
perks of being a manga artist is that i get to draw simplified stuff lol
so it shouldnt be hard
also yeah might be bugged
If it bothers you, you can replace the file in the AcesData folder and the game will use that instead
You'll just need to find where that texture is located
now that's moddable alright
oh god
lmfao
im gonna turn all the enemies into the rat
Currently the game only loads map textures and levels from there
The other files are ignored atm
Any other assets in there are just so they can be seen in Doom Builder
i thought it was unity lol
It's Unity yeah, but the levels are made in Doom Builder
thats actually really neat
they still got a decent to good amount of detail even like that
the textures help a lot
also zombie i hate to be that guy
but locks that go in the middle of the gate means that its two gates lol

aaaah you cheeky bastards
you drew the lighting directly on the textures didntcha
in some instances it might be done that way
helps with dramatic lighting
Most of the lighting is done in the map though
makes sense
also i cant find the plank texture
eh whatever ill just draw a new one and just plonk it in here for whoever wants to use it
It should be in AcesData/Textures/General/_Wood
I knew something seemed a bit doom-y with the levels
Another passing look and you could mistake fallen aces to be running in gzdoom
Several people have assumed it ran on GZDoom lol
We've even had people go around confidently telling other people it runs on GZDoom
@iron sonnet i have made your plank good sir
heres your plank
dont even gotta use it
That was fast lol
i just wanted to draw a plank
lol
also yeah stuff like this doesnt take long
character drawing takes me longer
especially if i gotta paint it
lol
i can't wait to try and find the monitor
Scarlet Whisper is our equivalent of The Shadow
the almighty plank is a better villain
I imagine Plank from Ed Edd and Eddy but with a fedora
May I ask what specifically didn't work for you with the dialogue? What parts DID you like?
Yeah feedback is always good.
i already said what i thought a few days ago
could use some more polish
i like the open endedness
tutorials appear a bit too late for my taste
youre told pretty late in the demo to take your own path
also the beams of the abyss inside the basement of the club lol
kenny the plank
also neat youre the main dev
or at least one of the two
Skinny "Plank" Malone
Nice Plank. Yeah saw your other feedback. But I'm interested in feedback for story and dialogue because I don't get complaints about those elements as much. But always interested to see what we can improve on.
What pushed this sweet boy into a life of crime? https://ed.fandom.com/wiki/Plank
id say the mook dialogue doesnt stand out as much since i dont really stop to wait for them to say their spiel
also doesnt help that theres no subtitles for them either
id say you need 2 types of subtitles
type 1: story subtitles
type 2: random dialogue subtitle
that's a good point. Goon dialogue subtitles would be good. Wonder if we should do them as comic bubbles.
story subtitles would be the stuff about "ey mikey, didja patch up that stupid wall the otha' day or is it as loose as a patron's pockets?"
random bs would be "GET HIM" or "WHERE DID HE GO?!"
that kinda stuff
first 1 gives you details about the story or environment
second is just stuff thats random
I can't wait to see a comic bubble over that one unarmed goon, sound effects included
Transcribe Gianni
you have the great advantage of using directly drawn sprites as your "models" so to speak
Goons do talk about stuff that helps the player sometimes. Example being the convo where Delia is being held. You also discover what happened in the poker room.
I'd like the filler dialogue to be included with the nighwave subtitles
aye, they do, my problem is, subtitles to me means important stuff
so i dont really pay attention to what they say unless it pops up on the screen
so if i accidentally miss something
like not hear some dialogue
it pops up in the bottom so i can just read that so i dont miss important info
oh also mike, if you need random bullshit like skinny plank kenny drawn just ping me lol its fun
But the actual dialogue, like the lines themselves. Was there anything specific ya didn't like?
nothing really, they were really good and entertaining
@next oyster ya wise guys have a separate discord?
no?
story is so cliché i love it
well ya gotta start with cliches if you are gonna subvert some of em
example being: ||Delia being Scarlet Whisper and murdering like 3 goons||
I guess one good moment in the demo is the secret room in the park
the window instantly caught my eye and so I jumped inside it
at first I thought it was just an empty corridor
after a while I learned that doors were destructible props
and I was pleasantly surprised when there was a pistol, a frying pan, healing items, and a call from nightwave
im glad i found that out on my own
nah not really, good stuff , nightwave is way too loud though
like not his actual speaking
the volume of his voice
One thing I set up is Delia being your typical beautiful Damsel, you see pictures of her. But when you meet face to face she's almost unrecognizable, her face is mashed to a pulp.
The reason for the gangster's barbarity goes beyond them just being thugs
a thing i also like
shes badass
she beat the shit out of a few of em before they beat the shit out of her
and started stickin her with truth serum
and yes, i did read all the papers lol
and found the eye room
||Well when they blew her cover, she killed the 3 guys but there was enough of them she got corned and captured, she tried to escape again but was again caught. So they pumped full of the sodium thiopental they looted from one of the pharmacies they torched to see if they could get her to talk, that's why she's kinda loopy when you meet her. The combination of the drug and being beat half to death is why she dosen't just leave easily." ||
yep
I feel Delia feels uncomfortable in a cocktail dress, not her style.
i feel bad for reggie's arm
she seems more like a chick that wears a more classic femme fatale look
that one looks more comfortable
also another issue with nightwave's dialogue
its actually volume inconsistency
sometimes too loud, sometimes too low
like in the cutscenes
Yeah we'll have to have them all mastered properly at some point
gonna draw operator Delia
in the game's style
ngl my only issue i got with the artstyle is that there's too much pixelation for my taste
i like my lines smooth
unless i draw manga or something
Thanks for the reply, Mike. I've only recently began looking at the game. Looks great!
Well her main outfit looks more like this....
Pixelation can't be helped. It was all drawn with a mouse and pencil brush.
Yeah everything. Except cutscene art.
No, probably not
is there gonna be ingame lore like tapes or notes?
there are already in game notes.
theres notes already
I must have missed them
tapes would work since theres the device nightwave uses to contact you
you can find a broken one in the interrogation room
which is delia's
There is one minor issue I have
the face on the hud that represents your health seems a bit too resilient
I can have like 60 health and all my guy has is a nosebleed
@next oyster yo mike, is the team behind the game part of newblood or is new blood just doing publishing
Well the "team" is just Jason Bond and myself. NB QA guys help out a lot with fixing the game and ensuring it works properly, NB handles marketing and publishing as well as QA and funding.
Does Jason work on the engine and maps?
so separate team and publisher
jason is the programmer
not really, we all help each other out. Always talking, sharing ideas, lending hands where necessary, etc
New Blood's kinda morphed into more of a developer than publisher these days
Or maybe a "hybrid" would be a better way of putting it
it's trey and jason's baby though, they get to make all the creative decisions
so all of you are part of new blood, but you do things on your own
Yeah that's the way to put it. We help each other out but we also let eachother make their visions as see fit. Example: I work on some art stuff for Gloomood, but it's his game.
nice

@next oyster i have made the ultimate feedback list
theres gonna be stuff i already said so do keep that in mind
cuz its for a video my friend's making for first impressions
Holy Steam forums post.

my friend asked me to make a big ass list of pros and cons of the demo
so i did lol
It's likely to get lost in the sea of posts; plus Trey'd be more likely to be able to cross-reference it on Steam.

Didn't do anything wrong. No need to apologize.
Just letting you know, if you want to guarantee he'll see it, that's where to put stuff.
No guarantees if it is here.
Great review
I fucking dig the combat in this game
though I feel like the ai can be touched up on a bit more
and even on hard there seems like there is too much health lying around even when you go fists blazing.
outside of that kino game
Who voices Mike?
Me
I wonder what Fallen Aces slogan text will be?
And if it'll be black instead of white to contrast with the background?
Funny noir doom game go brrrrr
Would it be possible to make the game load during scenes?
I've thought about that too
mike's so powerful he can instakill a downed person with a ball of curled up paper
or a banana peel
nah
I just throw apples at them until they die from obesity
@valid shale YO
I JUST BEAT THE GAME WITH JUST KICKS AND THROWING THE PAPER
ON SWF
reduce,reuse,recycle
*Sleeping with the fishes
the same paper, yes
I snuck up on Malone, kicked him across his office and threw a paper at him

ok got the first part down to 1:15- what the fuck
ok this guy just speedran the part I did in 15 seconds
I just did a kick n paper only run for record
uploading now
of course I didn't knock out everyone
that'd take way too long
maybe tomorrow
if the date goes sour
damn
it's fucking 7 minutes long
jeez
the upload is taking 7 times longer than the video
what the fuck is my internet
i mean in my experience upload speed is always noticeably shitty compared to download speed so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@next oyster https://youtu.be/3wH2c7MKMaM
Yeah, I'm using Shadowplay, what of it?
John Wick ain't got nothin on you.
Ah, the famous Mike Hawk
or maybe Thane idr
Mike Thane kinda sounds like nicotine, which is fitting
wait is there not a usable cigarette in the game
not yet
@next oyster there's a Fallen Aces gif on giphy already
sorry with all the pings I'm just real excited
also question
what does A.C.E.S mean?
Anti crime enforcement something
will we able to kill with second hand smoking?
Is there a fallen aces press kit of some kind?
playing at 640x800 resolution with the noir filter has no right to be as cool as it is
Squad
not yet
Imagine if there was a special physical edition of Fallen Aces stuff that all came in a briefcase.
$150usd for a faux-leather briefcase that contains:
- an ACES badge
- Fallen Aces themed playing cards
- A manila folder full of character bios
- hand-drawn full-body art pieces (laminated) signed by Trey
- A Fallen Aces postcard with a Steam code printed on it for a Collector's Edition of the game
another merch idea:replica black book
I might tweet that at Dave.
Can I include your black book replica, Galv?
sure

Idea for a limited-run promo @DaveOshry,
Imagine if there was a special physical edition of Fallen Aces stuff that all came in a briefcase.
$150USD (est.) for a faux-leather briefcase that contains:
(1/2)
That'd be cool
No comic book?
Didn't think of it. You can add it to the tweet though. (also, shit.. .forgot to tag you too, lol.)
So don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the game so far. I just think something feels off. I can't really figure out what it is, but maybe it's just how easy it seemed? I blasted through the demo in no time on the max difficulty and it just felt like the gameplay didn't match the tone? I cannot reiterate enough that I honestly can't figure out how to word the way it felt to play. I think the movement was much more floaty than I expected, and the combat was sort of the same. Not as weighty as I would have expected from the gameplay trailer? I don't really know, again I don't want to just seem like I'm trying to nitpick, but I was really excited to try the demo and it didn't end up being what I thought it would be. Anyone else sort of feel the same? It looked fantastic but I feel like maybe some things need tweaking. I saw someone mention that the AI needed some work also and I sort of agree. Still super pumped to see the final product though, the bois here at New Blood have never let me down.
Can I have a pin up of the main character with a bottle of whiskey tastefully hidding his dong?
That's up to Trey if he wants to draw Mike that way, lol.
comic book with a mini suitcase inside of it
That's Francis's job.
Okay, what if ALL the characters have massive dongs?
Is there a speedrun channel for the demo
no?
people just post their runs here
the person with the fastest speedrun wins an ace shaped cookie
hey look it's max payne's blonde cousin, Fax Wayne
It's the demo
What's important is the art style, how the game looks, and all that
The gameplay is still being worked on
If there's no glaring issues with the fighting, then they'll try to improve it
Glaring issues as in bugs, glitches, unfair advantages
funny thing
I redid the kicks and punches run
uploading now
if you guys can think of any other interesting challenges for me to do then ping me with em
like the crumpled paper only run
it turns out you can avoid the damage at the healing tutorial by going across to those rail things and sort of sliding down them
i fell like halfway and held into them which slowed my fall and let me drop to the ground unharmed
so it's possible to do a damageless run, I've only just done it on fuhgeddaboutit

That is fair, which is why I didn't wanna be like rude or anything. The combat does feel good though I just think some items need to do less damage or have less durability and some things need more durability. In terms of fairness that is. Maybe a guy with a gun or two more a bit earlier on. It would add a little less trivialization to the horde of goons you can just kinda conga line around
Oh yeah I feel you. I definitely think they'll add variety do enemies and add more as the game goes on. What's important is you let the devs know and appreciate what they did right
I literally didn't heal more than twice on my first run till after the boss fight lol
Oh they did almost everything right
almost
But that's like beyond what I expect anymore tbh
So like, still #1 in my book.
The crazy bastards at New Blood have lived up to the likes of old school naughty dog. I don't even doubt they'll polish it to high hell.
I would prefer that it come with a steam code AND a big box release with a DRM CD.
The steam code being a backup.
I only originated the idea. Where it evolves from there is up to Trey, Mr. Oshry and the Merch team at New Blood.
Is fallen aces out
I ate the demo when it released I'm just being a dick
Yup, the demo is gone
Rudi ate it
Now the ones who have it are going to sell their steam accounts
and get a lot of monies
no dick-being or demo-eating
the virgin demo vs the chad hoping its good then wasting money to see if its shit or not
The sigma = steam refund demo
will there be an armor system later on, since theres gonna be guns
like you can find bullet vests n stuff
and if so, how would it work
Am I the only one weirded out by the stealth system
I’m not knocking it
It just surprised me

You can see hints of the armor system in pre demo screenshots
I think a lot of people were surprised by features in aces.
But anyways to answer yer question. Armor, you'll be able to drink booze to use as armor that will temp give you a armor boost. Some enemies will drop body armor. Obv too much booze will fuck up your ability to aim.
oh hell yeah
i like that hooligans style
i rate the fallen aces demo a 32/32 broken teeth
finally, Duskdude and Mike can share a real one
real talk
I had the opportunity to talk with the co-creator of Fallen Aces a few days ago, and discuss the production of the demo, what to expect in the full game, etc etc
That interview/report should be out next week. https://t.co/I3FqMxn2DN
looking forward to this 👀
oh god not tyler
I like Tyler :(
He's a bit weird sometimes and often hurries too much with stuff but he's likeable
Also more publicity for the game
And more to know about the game

What's wrong with him
i used to be a fan but he just lied a whole bunch, i wont go over everything
when reporting i mean
he had some very nasty tf2 clickbait too
anyway whatever fallen aces is cool
when does the full game come out?
Tonight
in an hour
in the next 3 minutes
Hurry up guys
smh, time to post "bad game is bad forever" memes
literally stuck in development hell
😔
btw Mike kinda feels like a shitty person
every character feels like a somewhat shitty person in a cool way, it's funny
don't you dare rush this masterpiece
It's a beautiful game Mike. You're doin' a good job. I will patiently wait for the release. Fyi, I'm 180 mins deep in demo!
C'mon guys! It's a comic style noir first person beat em up game! I can't wish for anything better!
👍 💯
Sorry I jumped right in...
👍
👍
👎
They are trying their best
they're an aces in our hearts
Mike isn't necessarily an actually employed person, is he?
cuz it mentions on the Steam Store, and forgive me for misremembering, that he's an ex-cop
he's basically just a vigilante like the Aces of yesteryear, no?
so I think we can forgive his more dubious methods

some feedback: you shouldn't be able to make the elevator in the bar go up from the outside.
multiple times now i've pressed it twice by accident
Then you'll get stuck
what do you mean?
you can make it go up from the inside since there's a button there too.
Yeah but if you came downstairs and left it on the top floor it would be stuck up there
The only way for it to come down would be to hit it from the inside. Which makes no sense
oh ok
Ex PI
yea
so realistically you got this jobless bloke coming in and going for everyone's favorite approach of "shoot first ask questions never"
I mean given it's Switchblade City
it's not like any of the current police officers are going to care about all the mobsters that Mike covered in fingerprints

So a few things on that. The gangsters have a beef with Mike and want him dead specifically. Police are privatized in the city so they pick abd choose who they go after.
Mike is fresh outa prison
ahhhhh
damn corruption
He's from the big tower you saw, but he did a nono and got stripped of his PI license
And then thrown in jail for a couple years
very interesting
i really hope smth like E3 is the Golden Tower
feels like a Thing the game is building up to
and would be a gorgeous environment to explore
where are those from?
🤷♂️
how many enemies are in the Demo, across all three difficulties?
i think SwtF is like, 40?
No idea.
The demo is my favorite bar fight simulator
The annoying thing about the FA demo is that I now want to play FA all fucken day
agreed
I want a Tommy gun and a knife and some imsim tomfoolery
although the slim hitboxes (due to enemies being 2d) to tend to make me miss by a pixel
but it's fine
I want to dark messiah a bunch of cunts into fuseboxes or off roofs
try a charged up hit from below (aiming upwards), makes them jump to the ceiling
oh?
https://youtu.be/elDcYcpSI7s extremely similar to how I play
t h e r e ' s m o r e?
5 guns by my count
mein gott

Dunno what the RNG is on the pistol or if there are headshot hit boxes, some of these bozos seem very bulletproof but some of them die instantly like honourless cowards
Ok fine.
The brown colored bozos use only punches and are weaker, thus die to one headshot.
The grey ones have a bit more hp, so a headshot gets like 80-85(?)% of their hp
that's what I've noticed anyway
Usually takes 1 or 2 headshots
We have headshot animations to add back in like in the trailer
They were glorious
the one where the head got absolutely cooked?
yes, truly glorious
but yeah, I bet 5 dollars that grey suit bozos need 2 headshots on full hp
also, we need a skin where it's mike but with sunglasses for no other reason than to look cool
Man
I’m gonna say it
I’m gonna fucking say it
@next oyster Devs, I fucking ||really like the game so far and I’m looking forward to the full release. I really appreciate all the hard work y’all are doing. ||
I second that
This demo was the final push for me to start learning game dev
I love it and I can wait as long as it's needed to get the full release
it is VERY satisfying filling your inventory with .45s and just doming everyone in the night club
"NOO YOU CAN'T JUST SHOOT UP A NIGHT CLUB FULL OF GANGSTERS WITH A BUNCH OF 1911S"
"haha colt go boom"
there is only two on the level, right?
one is carried by Malone
and the other is in the piano stash
yep
wrong
hmm
there's at least 4
oh well yeah
where
||"speedrunners hideout",one near that construction spot,and one in the room||
:)
DM please
I wanna make an all collectibles video at some point
so please DM me with information
#fallen-aces message @split arch
and how do you get there?
do the standard jump,then climb on the smoke stacks
super secret
||go to the bathroom and wait 5 minutes. Marty will eventually shit it out at the end of his spiel.||
I did wait till the end, my friend almost died laughing as Montegrato died shitting
Mantegrano
I apologize
marty is our martyr 😔
amen 😩
so where do I get this gun
same roof jump,then go left
you do realize that I'm nothing of a speedrunner?
I'm just a guy who likes handing out fisticuffs
guess its randomized?
nothing in the game is randomized as far as I can tell
goon placement, key placement, item placement
they never move
which would be a cool thing if it was random
you broke both your legs
see a medical professional
or eat two apples
dont worry,theres a med-kit there
🍾
does it have pickels?
um
find yum.png
Just played the demo, this game is amazing.
i see now
definitely yum

also fucking hell why is it in the water folder
found #ultrakill 
||idk if this has been answered or not but I think there's 5. If you jump to the smokestacks right across the spawn area and climb up to the rooftop there's a gun, bottle, and medkit. Then run to the billboard and try to find another rooftop, the gun should be there, haven't done this one in a while so my instructions aren't the best, afterwards the area with the key to the entrance of the nightclub there should be a window on the building on the left, smash it and smash the door, there's a gun on the bed, then the last two are the piano gun and Malone's||
gun locations for those who wanna be unspoiled
there are 5, 3 outside and 2 inside
later today I can try and send screenshots if needed
needed for sure
uhhhh besides shitting Marty and the eyes room none that I can think of
eyes room?
The guy on that rooftop edge has a funny monologue
3rd gun location
fifth was added with a patch
damn
there'll probably also be a tommy or something in the basement sometime
So that's why the basements there
Initially I thought Delia was in there and kept looking around for a switch or cracked wall before I gave up and went upstairs
I waited it out
but no gun
maybe the voice line goes on longer?
after he takes the biggest shit the audio ends
I brak open the door and no weapon
I believe you may have been rendered a fool
I dont think Marty shits out a gun (it would be funny if he did tho)
where's the tommy gun then?
or is it not in the game yet?
perhaps I am rendered a fool
I dont believe it's in the game yet sadly
In the full game it might be in the basement since that area's currently unused
will you be able to pull a Tommy gun out of your pocket to surprise your enemies like a certain animated japanese tv show
not sure about the anime, but perhaps it'll be like a holdable item and won't go into a slot
like dumpster or crumpled paper
sneak peak
bruh i wanted to try this but ehh, it doesn't work. intro animation is laggy af, and then it has solid black screen afterwards, and then crashes
it just eats all my system resources and ceases to load anyth
it has some memory leak it seems
it is done
rendering
What program is he using?
Sleep tight
*Everything that I could find, do comment what I've missed, might make a Part II.

sorry for mass pinging
just took me a while to make this
and I'm real proud
Cool. Now someone should find every single typo
