so if someone asks if you have a pair for valentine's day

you can say "yep. four"

[vestal star]

Haha

That's funny

So u from russia, mikey?

[warped vector]

Christmas in Brazil used to be an early thing

We had Christmas ads on TV on the day of Halloween, because Halloween isn't a thing here

[vestal star]

then they would be alive

[split arch]

well there's a fall in the demo you can't skip

they'll fall regardless

[meager musk]

There's also Forgive Me Father that came out in Early Access recently.

[warped vector]

Oh shit, yeah, i actually was interested in that one

[tough drum]

I got it pretty early on and it is really nice. 🙂

The weapon upgrading is very well done so far, especially with how it not only alters how a weapon behaves, but also how it looks.

Like that there's one upgrade for the shotgun that basically has it get hijacked by some Eldritch entity that now lets the shotgun shells bounce on walls and enemies.

You can see that upgrade in action in this video at 2:04: https://youtu.be/Ty0Ods6GTQw

[warped vector]

That sounds like both a great way to improve in combat and also a way to sell your soul away to hell

[tough drum]

According to the roadmap for the game, they plan on having a new game plus mode too once the game enters full release.

I might just buy the game this sale

[tough drum]

No problem!

The Aces Have Fallen

[next oyster]

So I had a questions for some fans. Bare with me. Some feedback would be useful. What things (in specific detail) do you think could be improved upon with the enemy AI?

[fiery yew]

maybe make the ai more aware of their surroundings in general

i feel that i get away with the most stupidest shit with the enemies cause of the behavoir

[opaque carbon]

make it so that they have better hearing

if am running around past some people then the people that are hearing it should prepare to stop me

though i dont know if thats even possible

for them to

hear

[dry moon]

i find it that they focus to much on line of sight but that may just be my own nitpick on the design

https://youtu.be/zXsiwzuNGK4
https://youtu.be/dlJKVHbi9KA
https://youtu.be/S1M0BGVZOT4
https://youtu.be/OTcNwLlEY-U
https://youtu.be/nnvwONQqKZU

these might help

[opaque carbon]

wtf

[opal zenith]

i think they trend towards friendly fire a bit too often and bunching in mobs can be both effective but again if a mobster is knocked into another mobster it's an instant kill. I think the current lineup with just three is fine but it would be interesting if there were other enemy types that tried to flank around the player making them be more cautious with regards to navigating the map (think of it like Pac Man in a way). Also enemies with grenade-type attacks, even just toxic fumes to flush out the player from vents can be very effective in mitigating a huge cheese to diminish enemy attention

[wheat needle]

I think the AI is too slow to detect the player at close range. IMO if you're close, standing in the light, and they're looking in your direction then they should detect you basically instantly. Also like ok I think they should hear and react more quickly to the sounds you make.

[next oyster]

lol I aint takin advice from Sandy Peterson

[opal zenith]

c'mon trey

made glassjaw's hideout literally a fucking hand

do it i dare you

[vestal star]

Nothing funnier than you running away from 10 mooks, only for 3 to completely forget where you are

I'd just say that the most noticeable things are reaction time and them just going free for all when in groups

[mighty folio]

add machine learning

do it

bet you won't

[vestal star]

it's like 2 devs bruv

[mighty folio]

yes

[vestal star]

man if they pull it off they are legends

[mighty folio]

it'd also be a really dumb choice

[vestal star]

you never know

[visual valve]

Machine learning is a solution to a problem no one has

It's like someone trying to write a paper using a paintball gun

[cunning geyser]

But you could watch those videos to see what not to do!

This is also very helpful

[vestal star]

yeah, fair enough

[cunning geyser]

??

Are you saying we dont need self-driving cars and stuff like that?

[tranquil bough]

I feel like the “detection and hunting” ai is too easy, mooks will simply forget about you after a few seconds

[stoic sleet]

mooks tend to bunch up together and it can lead to really cheesable situations (friendly fire, domino tripping.) a flanking ai as mentioned before would help with that

[warped vector]

Whos Sandy Peterson?

[tranquil bough]

Doom dev

[next oyster]

Well pipe guys do circle you a bit more than the goons

I think one other thing enemies could do is back away from you.

I think less enemies but tougher ones would be better

[vestal star]

I mean I still like a fair share of group battles, but they do need to stop stabbing each other in the back so often

but yeah, I would mostly agree

[next oyster]

Future goon variants will have combo and block attacks as well

[vestal star]

oh damn

that could be bad

imagine missing a hit and getting 5 hit comboed in the face

[tranquil bough]

Combo breaker

[vestal star]

aka the kick

[next oyster]

Also the grab strangle

[tranquil bough]

Some visual changes and it’ll look like something from faith

https://tenor.com/view/faith-faith-the-game-horror-gif-18060452

[next oyster]

Don't wanna block properly eh? How bout I just strangle you until you learn

[warped vector]

Hey, thats a good way to make players learn how to block

[tranquil bough]

Yea,making them shit their pants

[warped vector]

Ive been wanting an incentive to learn It, because hitting people with the pipe on their heads was Just too effective

[vestal star]

exactly

[split arch]

I feel personally attacked

even though I beat the game using fists and kicks only each saturday I still can't block

speaking of

time to beat the game using fists and kicks only

[paper meteor]

Now I know you said specific detail, but I was never good at that. Anyways even on the hardest difficulty you can beat the game easily just by spamming heavy attacks (with or without a weapon). Maybe have the enemies gank you the second they detect you're out of stamina

[opaque carbon]

fallen asses

[paper meteor]

Since if you dash then heavy attack, it's very easy to go hitless until ranged attackers get involved

[vestal star]

yes

[steady panther]

sup

[next oyster]

Unrelated, I noticed a fan mentioned attacks don't have any impact to them...

Like I could get that for fist attacks, but that's cuz they're fist attacks

[valid shale]

fisting attacks

[opaque carbon]

fallen fist

[valid shale]

[icy ice]

ooh

what about a book you can pick up which gives you like a fighting style or something

[stoic sleet]

matrix upgrades

[fiery yew]

[dry moon]

that or maybe swapping out characters? idk but this could easily be converted into a kung fu movie since Jack has a lot of brawling moves

oh hell

a bruce lee character to kick ass or to kick your ass

[next oyster]

I mean, ya got a spin kick.

[opaque carbon]

dAmn

[valid shale]

add an upgrade system that lets you increase the number of speens in the kill animation

[split arch]

imagine upgrading it to a certain level

and you gib them on impact

and then on max level you use the gibs as projectile that hurt anyone hit by the gibs

[vestal star]

ok well to be fair the kick's just a teeny tiny weak

jsut a teeny tiny weeny winy bit

[warped vector]

The kick sometimes knocks your enemies back by a lot

You can play Bowling with that Kick

[vestal star]

yeah I know, but like

you can make the punches push them 10 metres away, but it doesn't feel that powerful

[warped vector]

OH, New suggestion. If you knock down a group of enemies all at once, a Strike sound effect should play

[vestal star]

hell no

[next oyster]

I would be cool to play as one of the aces. But I think Mike is gonna be the main focus

[vestal star]

aight

we really need to see Delia in action to properly judge her

[warped vector]

I got a big idea

Co-op mode where you and friends play as Aces

[vestal star]

well uh

actually, I will hold off on that

is that gonna be a thing?

[tranquil bough]

I would kinda like that

[warped vector]

You would either need entirely New maps for that, or Just flood the already existing ones with 3x more enemies

[next oyster]

Not sure how that would work

[tranquil bough]

I guess just more stuff to balance things for two players

[warped vector]

Yeah, thats what i mean

Because one player on it's own already can take down like 10 goons if he plays well, so four players would do tremendous damage If they stuck together

[mossy galleon]

God, I can't wait for the EA of Fallen Aces

[warped vector]

I'm sorry, the EA?

[tranquil bough]

early access

[warped vector]

Oh, i see

[next oyster]

No I mean the amount of extra animation that would take seems unrealistic

[spice gorge]

Just two Aces T-posing, problem solved.

[shadow edge]

There is something I do notice about fallen aces

[vestal star]

that they fall?

[shadow edge]

The game really gives an archer vibe

[vestal star]

archer?

[tranquil bough]

Tv show

[shadow edge]

The show

[tranquil bough]

Similar aesthetic

[vestal star]

ok, I need to look that up

[shadow edge]

Also a reference

[tranquil bough]

Alcohol consumption

[warped vector]

Oh shit, yeah

The comic book style and violent action does that

[opaque carbon]

ok

[next oyster]

It always makes me laugh when people are surprised how violent the game is when NB also publishes Ultrakill and Dusk.

I don't know because it's grittier or what. I feel it should be the opposite since it's cartoony looking

[mighty folio]

i was expecting a relaxing walking simulator with a charming art style

I'm going to refund the demo

[tranquil bough]

#gloomwood

[mighty folio]

yes

[stoic sleet]

for ultrakill's case, all the enemy designs are inhuman (or at least uncanny valley)
same with dusk for the most part, the enemy models being low poly helps with the exceptions

in contrast, the fallen aces enemies are undeniably human and more detailed then the former two, so you cant disassociate from them as easily

[warped vector]

Yeah, in Fallen Aces, that's the only game where what you're fighting is 100% human and not at all demonic possessed or corrupted.

[tranquil bough]

at least the first episode

[stoic sleet]

in the full release we find out that fallen aces is dusk 2

[next oyster]

Local man brutally murders 20 gangsters with a lead pipe

[warped vector]

I can just imagine what kind of twist the game is gonna have later on

[next oyster]

a fucked up kind

[tranquil bough]

Worse than the apartment

[next oyster]

Oh that guy was fine. He just spilled some spaghetti in bed

[stoic sleet]

gib pasta, a switchblade city classic

[tranquil bough]

Yea that decapitated head was just a meatball

[warped vector]

Still, i'm pretty sure the purpose of that room was to shock us, to show us that fucked up things are happening in town and that we should get ready and prepare ourselves for things like that

Just a guess

[next oyster]

somethin fishy goin on

[warped vector]

Yeah, there's a difficulty named Sleeping With the Fishes

Speaking of Fish, i got a suggestion

You think something like this would fit in the game?

[next oyster]

as a melee weapon

[warped vector]

Yep

[long sierra]

no, as a gun

[meager musk]

the gun will shoot fish eyes

[shadow edge]

When a dev team is called new blood then what should they expect

Has that great title for a reason no doubt

[cunning geyser]

people just expect new blood gui key for roblox

[shadow edge]

You dare bring up that putrid game up

[vestal star]

it's mostly because of the comic book style and the jokes, I'd say

especially the mooks

they seem like less of a threat and more like underpaid bumbling bimbos who never finished school

and that's why I love 'em

[warped vector]

Yeah, those guys are lovable goons, and i fell bad about killing them. I feel like if i beat them up just right, they'll realize that life of crime isn't for them and try to do an honest earning later

After they leave the hospital and get better from their injuries of course

Then again, if the health care system in this world is anything like in the US, they're done for

[tranquil bough]

“Ay vinny,the plumber is here”

[next oyster]

no thats Mike

grabbin a much needed pipe

[opal zenith]

virgin "uses a pipe" fans vs chad "just sprints into enemies over and over" enjoyers

[split arch]

some fuck spilled ketchup all over the bed

[late raven]

Honestly it’s probs the fact that like

Just having played the demo

It FEELS more violent than either of those games

And I mean that as a huge compliment

[meager musk]

maybe its because the game has much more ways of killing than UK and DUSK.

[late raven]

I felt like I was genuinely in the fucking daredevil hallway fight

[late raven]

Basically this

In Dusk you do a flip and then blast a cultist with your dual shotguns

In gloomwood you repeatedly bash and then cut up a mook with a broken bottle before proceeding to kick him through a door

Like the level of violence feels a lot more real and gritty

And it is so fucking good

Like it actually somehow takes the weird contrast between the goofy noir story and legit gritty combat of max Payne to both extremes

Like the cutscenes and writing are spectacular cheeseball Sin-City-but-with-more-superheroes-and-less-Frank-Miller

And every fight in gameplay has you feeling like the dude in Oldboy

It’s just chef’s kiss

[next oyster]

So Daredevil and Atomic Blonde were sorta inspirations for the style of combat

[opaque carbon]

make slappin' please

[icy grail]

I must have played the demo wrong because I don't remember Oh Dae-Su kiting enemies for 3 minutes

[tranquil bough]

[warped vector]

Duuuude, i loved Atomic Blonde

Such an underrated movie, it's great

It's Francis man, dude has perfected the comic Book art style

this is on top of the lighter, grab, and all the other stuff that was shown

@next oyster bad game please fix

fallen aces is a hard game

both guns are loaded btw

[rustic bolt]

what are you trying to point out?

[meager musk]

probably the shadow clipping trough a wall

and if so, who the hell cares about some one shadow?

[next oyster]

I've heard it's too easy

[fiery yew]

maybe remove some gas tanks/guns so you cant spam easily

[opaque carbon]

[tranquil bough]

yea,those are the reason it's easy

[next oyster]

What am I looking at?

[meager musk]

A hidden A.C.E. The Watcher

[fiery yew]

i dunno why, but even when i was doing stupid shit the mooks wouldnt detect me unless i moved

in the shadows

[meager musk]

He watches Mike everywhere he goes

(you can see his shadow on the door)

[tranquil bough]

he is:the boogieman

[next oyster]

They can't see you in complete darkness unless you move

[meager musk]

but what about the watcher?

why is he there?

[fiery yew]

bad idea, but what if you gave enemys kevlar vests (or experimental power armor if you wanna fit in with the style of the game

make enemies with a mark 1 iron man suit like this

[next oyster]

That's ep 2 stuff you madman

I've got a peer reviewed study here...

it says...

hmm, says you're a pussy

[late raven]

Absolute ultimate brained suggestion:

Make Delia playable, and give HER the Jeet Kune Do polished martial arts animations

parries, jump kicks, kick combos, better fist combos

she's canonically a badass, so ofc ppl are gonna wanna play her

and it'd set her apart from Mike

[opal zenith]

i don't think extra playable characters is in the itinerary

especially with how flexible Mike's playstyle already is

it'd be a lot of work to balance multiple levels and enemy types around different characters

[rough lion]

Bruh I don’t need extra characters I just want to throw trash cans at mooks

[late raven]

Oh no, I was just thinking for like, 1 or 2 levels

like she wouldn't be selectable for every level or anything like that

[brazen locust]

I'd say probably not, other playable characters would mean new first person animations for
every weapon, item, finisher etc, that ain't in our scope lol

[vestal star]

Man's know his scope

Respectable decision

If you really want a reskin, it's possible to make your own

Just sayin'

Now i don't know about that, but the demo is indeed pretty good

I got a bad prediction for the upcoming game

One im not Comfortable saying

[next oyster]

We don't demand anything. But if ya want to play a game we worked hard to make and tried to make good I would hope people would pay for it.

[opaque carbon]

i would pay for it

oh um

Your job's not done

[weary dust]

Fallen aces? nah, Droppin' Duces. I loved that about the game from the begining

[floral magnet]

So im a dusk guy, can somebody explain what fallen aces is like? It looks kind of like doom with a noir twist.

[tranquil bough]

Berserk power up:the game

[next oyster]

I know that's what NB marketed it as. But the game itself is hard to pin down.

[floral magnet]

Well i dont know much about it, just what ive seen from screenshots. If theres actual story or something i would definitely be intrigued. Its a demo right now right?

[tranquil bough]

yes

[next oyster]

Yeah story and characters and whatnot. Demo is up

[warped vector]

Yeah, that's the thing about Fallen Aces, it's actually a very unique game to pin down. Usually you use other games to narrow down what a game is, make it easier for people to understand what the game is.

You can say Dusk is Quake inspired, Amid Evil is Heretic/Hexen inspired, Gloomwood takes obvious inspiration from Thief, but Fallen Aces?

Only games that compare to it are Dark Messiah Might and Magic and Condemned, and those games don't nail the vibe of the game at all

[weary dust]

There is. You are a detective in the 30s beating up gangs for some reason

[next oyster]

because they hate you

[next oyster]

You'll be happy to know that fights look a lil more brutal in the update

[tranquil bough]

noticed with the recent screenshots, the bodies and mike's portrait have a high contrast?

like some of the mooks almost seem pink

what.........

why in the name of god does fallen aces need a jojo reference

[next oyster]

why not?

[next oyster]

I'm hoping the new update makes the combat a bit more enjoyable. A big fear of mine is people playing aces for the first time and saying "this sucks"

[fresh nest]

I was informed there was a long ladder climb with James Bond Jazz playing here

Speaking of uh the combat tho last time i played the demo I ran out of actual weapons and there were a bunch of mooks in a room who I had to kill by throwing different pool balls

Now I will throw the bodies instead

[next oyster]

Yeah jazzy james bond music, that's our goal. Hopefully more updbeat bigband jazzy stuff for later levels

[shell oxide]

The fallback combat when outnumbered of 'throw whatever is lying around at them' is great. Interested to see what comes with new enemies and changes

[opal zenith]

do you want this channel to be #ultrakill 2

but yea i have very big faith in the combat update

i already found the combat satisfying n fresh

[thin walrus]

i've never used ultimate doom builder before in my life but i'm glad making custom episodes is sort of easy 😭

[vestal star]

I wish you luck mate

[thin walrus]

i'll need it

[weary dust]

when will there be a new update? sorry for asking

[tranquil bough]

[weary dust]

Should've seen that coming

I've heard about the new combat.

sounds fun ngl

[next oyster]

When the sun touches the east of the glimmering skyline of the tallest skyscraper in Umburgh. Only then

[weary dust]

Got it

I swear I played the demo and beat it 509696969 times and I'm still finding new stuff

[weary dust]

really good work

[weary dust]

when I first played it I loved it since my pc is a little crappy

[thin walrus]

does anyone have this audio bug that's fixed by going into the audio settings?

[vestal star]

no?

[next oyster]

audio bug?

Gianni shitting his brains out isn't a bug. It's a feature

[vestal star]

the most important one as well

[warped vector]

I'm super excited for the new demo, even if the new things it's gonna have can be counted in one hand

Unless there's more than those and some surprises for us, i'm gonna play through the demo to find out

[vestal star]

we all will

[warped vector]

Also i got a small suggestion: Breakable mirrors or glass, which can be broken and also the small pieces of it could be used as edged weapons

[next oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-thinking-batman-gif-14744673

[warped vector]

You know the mirror in the makeup room? I tried shooting that.

[vestal star]

it's just gonna be Mike cutting himself accidentally

[warped vector]

Another cool idea is having windows and other glass related stuff be broken and their shards flying around and hurting enemies or yourself

[tranquil bough]

Throwing enemies into glass causes bleeding damage

[vestal star]

ez boolean that subtracts health

[thin walrus]

it started happening back with the first update, after the demo release.

since i'm a newbie i can't send vids, basically the audio distorts so bad and doesn't get fixed until i get into the audio settings

[icy ice]

like just entering the audio settings or changing something, and if its by changing the settings, what fixes it?

[weary dust]

How much will the full game be?

I want to know incase so I can save some money for ti

[paper meteor]

Probably around $20 usd

[weary dust]

Thats not bad

[paper meteor]

Yeah, but I'm just guessing

Every other NB title has been like $20 so I think that it's a fair guess, but only Dave / Trey know for certain what they'll put it at.

[drifting sonnet]

I uhh

I think the game will be 10$

Lmao

tackle is a move?

[next oyster]

"tackle" you can sprint into guys and knock them over and damage them slightly

The only run that would count would be my "speedrun" attempts, mainly 'cause that's the only way I did dmg but accidentally hitting a goon

killing everyone tackle only though 😰

[vestal star]

Haven't come across something like this yet. Been trying to figure out what broke

[mystic vault]

Wait, FA modding is already a thing?

[vestal star]

has been since the demo's release

this is my second map rn and I somehow broke the sector

[mystic vault]

huh, didn't know until now

[vestal star]

it's fun

although map editing is the most reliable modding you can do rn

[next oyster]

ye got sector holes is what ye got

[vestal star]

yes, I did

but there's no misplaced lines

at least as far as I can tell]

so what could be the cause of these mumbo jumbos?

[next oyster]

ye gotta make a spider web

[vestal star]

ah yes, of co- a fucking what?

[next oyster]

can't have a shape floating in the middle of a sector, gotta connect the edges together like a web. Or else it causes holes

To better explain what I mean, look at the fountain in the club map wad.

[vestal star]

in the outside?

I fear referencing that place. It has a 50/50 of crashing gzdoom builder

but I will go look

[vestal star]

my god, were you talking about this?

[next oyster]

yes

spider web. Have fun

[vestal star]

I-

[tranquil bough]

[vestal star]

wh-

[next oyster]

It'll work

[vestal star]

I have to make that monstrosity?

[next oyster]

No but you have to connect all your edges

[vestal star]

hmm, I'll try it. You know any reason why this happens?

[next oyster]

demons

[vestal star]

that's the one answer I feared

the horrors of engine limitations and mysteries follow one everywhere

thanks for the explanation 😄

yeah ok the spider web fixed it

thank you, trey

[brazen locust]

Just gotta make sure you've got no sectors that completely surround another, don't necessarily need to make a spiderweb

[brazen locust]

The floor here surrounds the desk and box sectors, you could split the floor into two halves, that would be the easiest way to fix it

[vestal star]

Aaaah

Sadly I've already made a frankenstein of a sector collection, but I'll keep that in mind when it happens again. Ptobs gonna need it when making the outside alleyways

Thanks for explaining!

[brazen locust]

No worries, I knew someone would run into this at some point lol

Me Playing fallen aces;

[weary dust]

Yeah your rihgt

My obs is crap

I can send a vid though my phone but it won't be too great

[thin walrus]

did you get textures with transparency to work in-game, by any chance? I bet there's something more besides placing them but, since I haven't used doom builder, I had to ask

[vestal star]

I don't really remember right now and I need 3 hours before I can get to my computer. If you don't wanna wait, I recommend loading up the levels in the demo and see how trey and jason did it.

[thin walrus]

how can I do that, if I don't take up too much of your time 😭

[vestal star]

Get yourself an empty or almost empty level, put it in slade and replace its text file with one of the demo's

The demo text files are somewhere in aces data

[thin walrus]

alright, got it! haven't thought of that

thank you !!

[vestal star]

Warning! Be careful with the outisde level, it might crash your doom builder

[thin walrus]

will try it just to see if it does lmao

[meager musk]

why are aces fallen?

[drifting sonnet]

Cause the aces is falling

Or maybe later there's gonna be a card launcher weapon

[quartz pulsar]

I would be concerned if someone pet their cat like that

[spice gorge]

Also, will there be any level involving a train, later in the game? Heard about the idea of the biplane level, which seems kinda funny in a good way.

[thin walrus]

I can see that happening tbh

[warped vector]

Oh, this game needs a Train level, train levels are always some of the best parts of FPS games

[fiery yew]

keep your promise noir man

[warped vector]

Speaking of which, i was thinking of which kind of levels in FPS are always a hit

[cunning geyser]

Sewer levels, why else would there be one in every single game?

[split arch]

racing minigame

I mean it looks like the 1920s

and racing was a prominent theme then

[warped vector]

Also maybe a Steamboat section

[drifting sonnet]

Also maybe add soap

[split arch]

so interesting thing

trolleys were quite prominent in the early 20th century

appearing in Philadelphia, Newton, Dallas, El Paso, Memphis and San Francisco of course

so Fallen Aces could be set anywhere

but if we follow the accents then it's probably East Coast

with plenty italian immigration

so this either a replacement New York City

or Boston

[warped vector]

I mean, i don't even think it's set in our world itself, it has a massive Golden city in the background that's where the rich people all live while everybody else is at Switchblade city.

This game has social class disparity as big as Bioshock

[split arch]

no one's doubting it's in a different reality

a) you can roundhouse kick things into orbit

b) the radio you use to contact Nightwave has a video feed, or maybe Mike just clipped on a picture of his good friend

so it seems ACES were a pseudo super hero program before being defunded

according to
a) appearance of comics starring ACES agents

b) Nightwave's get up

the appearance of super heroes was in the 1937-39 with Marvel and DC

but looking at the car design it's more likely set in the 1940-50s

[warped vector]

I think they were more like Vigilantes, like the Watchmen comic

[split arch]

but the 1940s and 1950s were quite different

while 1940s were the last decade of the Great Depression, allowing for such corruption to exist

the 1950s take a bigger tone on McCarthyism and The Red Scare

so Nightwave would be hunting communists and unions if it were the 1950s

so the more likely decade is 1940s

[warped vector]

I think you're overthinking things a little bit

I don't think Real life politics and economics are gonna fit well into this game

[split arch]

well the Great Depression gives an easy explanation for the Switchblade City and Golden Tower

even though Golden is more associated with the West Coast, California being the Golden State

so it's either upstate NY, or between LA and SF

also following the streecar appearance trend in North America, I would more linger with the West Coast

however West Coast was prominent with colored crime, Hispanic, African American, much less but not none at all Italian Mafia appeance

so the facts point more to it being East Coast

[split arch]

mind you, this is based on LA Noire

the conclusion that is

or rather thinking

from the facts given

[drifting sonnet]

The next level of fallen aces will be groove street

[split arch]

the year is likely 1938-1940

and Switchblade City is likely in upstate NY or even a district of NYC

[tranquil bough]

[split arch]

or it is an alternate reality NYC/Boston

can't wait for Big Himbо Mike to come in and say "um actually it's in Nevada"

[obsidian meteor]

@split arch, please keep all discussions in English.

[split arch]

I avoided the Himbo filter

oh

it was removed

then yeah sure

Anti Crime Enforcement Squad

given the name, it is either an infamous Vigilante group or was an endorsed Police or even Federal Law Enforcement Group

given the fact that Nightwave now operates with volunteers such as Mike and Dalia they were either budget cut

or were Vigilante all along

the access to radios and hardware, according to the fact that NW will leave you caches in the full game, he either has connections to the military, or illicit connections

[mighty folio]

vigilante makes more sense to me

[tranquil bough]

or you know,fucking dead

[split arch]

NW isn't dead

Mike isn't dead

Dalia isn't dead

therefore it isn't dead

[tranquil bough]

referring to aces in general,as the organisation

[split arch]

we also find Vinny, mutilated by The Eye's Watching You

and NW says "same MO as the other ACES"

so I assume even Mike is considered an ACE

[fiery yew]

3 people isnt exactly a big group

[split arch]

Vinny makes 4 and it is still a group

it doesn't have to big

[fiery yew]

and i have a head cannon that mike's part in the ACES is like a unpaid intern lmao

[split arch]

a secret vigilante movement cannot be big

[tranquil bough]

pretty sure vinny isnt an aces

[fiery yew]

but it can have more then 3 people

[split arch]

according to dialogue from NW and the note, he was maybe an undercover member of the Malone gang

[tranquil bough]

but he wasnt working for nightwave

[fiery yew]

i thought nightwive would just know him

[split arch]

if Eyes Watching You is hunting ACES, which we get the implication from the newspapers

[fiery yew]

but the murderer is secret

[split arch]

then Vinny must have been related to ACES in one way or another

[fiery yew]

what if its like a heigharchy

like nightwave is a leader

dahlia and Mike are high top

[split arch]

I doubt NW is at the top

leader perhaps, but he likely gets orders from somewhere, someone

[fiery yew]

and vinny is like a starting guy according to your theory

plottwist, glassjaw?

[split arch]

the hierarchy is your theory

[split arch]

for all we know, could be

[fiery yew]

i mean the vinny is a part of the ACES theory

[split arch]

so the conclusion I wanted to draw is this

chapter 3, how could arson help organized crime and why is Malone at the bottom

throughout the history of organized crime, hitmen and otherwise small favor handlers, such as arson

were most of the time as much disposable as the target itself

a gambler down on his luck owes a lot of money to a certain mob

they offer him to whack someone to clear his debt

after he's done the job they'd end up sending a guy to stake out him coming home so he couldn't talk

so I doubt Malone would be missed in the organization

and I doubt Glassjaw is crucial to the organization

we don't know what he does

his jurisdiction

his connections

could be a Lieutenant in the Organization, but again, it's too soon to tell

and if the gist of the game is "kill all mob bosses until you kill the biggest mob boss" that would certainly not reduce crime

existing members of the organization, seeing that their superior is dead, would seek to replace his place

thus if mike were to do that

it would only accomplish new faces as leaders or a full gang war in Switchblade City

which is worse in comparison

right now as I see it there's one major criminal organization

imagine being racketeered by two different mobs

so according to the conclusion made earlier, that the year is 1938

corruption was still rampant from prohibition

and the budget cuts brought by the great depression

could limit the active policing area to the Golden Tower

thus vigilantes like ACES have to stand up

[mighty folio]

[split arch]

but it's a wonder why are the newspapers operating smootly

firstly, if they're produced locally, in Switchblade City, why doesn't this Criminal Organization have control of the press

the articles found mention dead ACES, Switch Blade City and also the Thrilling Tales

so I would assume the newspaper is run out of the Golden Tower

[tranquil bough]

Can we let this game come out in general first

[next oyster]

Some very interesting theories going in here. You are on the right track with some, but I won't say which ones.

Not the switch stuff. More plot related stuff

All the stuff Mike was talkin bout

I know

[next oyster]

There is a lot going on with the plot. More than it may initially seem.

Main focus is bad man sends bad guys wearing silly hats to kill you, you must find him and punch him in the face repeatedly.
