It stayed at "...", unable to bind to anything or close the menu
I tried pressing "esc" to go back, the game froze for a moment
I can go back to the "press any key" screen, but clicking or pressing anything doesn't work.
I wonder if the fact that I'm using a latin american keyboard has anything to do with this...
next oyster
Hmmm
warped vector
Okay, so
I played the demo and noticed two things: First, the damage you give to enemies is a lot bigger than before, downing enemies with a glass bottle and lesser hits overall.
Problem is, to balance that, the enemies are smarter, they fucking strife around you and are harder to hit. You can't no longer just jump around to deal with crowds, now you need to watch out for them surrouding you quickly
I thought the combat was gonna be easier and was quickly proven wrong in seconds.
It's great
wheat needle
Yeah, new demo update is excellent
rustic bolt
tbh Fallen Aces needs holstering...
wheat needle
You can holster if you have an empty inventory slot
Would be nice if you could do it with a full inventory though
Aside from that my only real remaining complaint about the game is how it handles death
Hopefully that'll get changed in the full game

vestal star
Finally got around to the update. Honestly, I love it. Now fighting groups on hard is an actual challenge and way more fun. The hold-to-block fits in perfectly, I'd say. Although I have had a few issues, main 2 being that body throwing has some issues and sometimes enemies get past my block somehow, even if the block wasn't broken

So the finishers are in sequence with the grab being first, but you can only grab if you're standing and not holding anything in your left hand but also not holding an unstorable prop
Otherwise you'll just do a spinkick
vestal star
ah, that explains it. But do you not think it would be more fun to choose when you can punch them forwards?

infinitely hold them

well no, they could wake up from their daze and push you away or some thing like that

Yeah maybe a way to choose would be cool, though it'd depend how that's handled

vestal star

Well it could still be random
just when you pick them up they are dazed for some time,. But if you hold them for too long, they push you away with a smidget of hp left
this is all brainstorming and honestly, testing should be the deciding factor
but coupled in with everything else the game needs, this is all just sideline talk
hell, if the serializefield cockblocks stop preventing, people could just try to mod that in
just some food for thought
tranquil bough

How y'all liking the update?
tranquil bough
Das güd
vestal star
Loving the hold-to-block feature, as if the game was made for it
It doesn't make it significantly less challenging, just lets you not get pissed on by the delayed attacks as much
The new enemy types are interesting and add variety, hoping to see more. Though the pipe guys are still my biggest problem 'cause they are always throwing shit at ya
Also really liking how enemies react more to what you do, I noticed enemies dodging my attacks way more
next oyster
It is possible to block projectiles
vestal star
Trey, my reaction time is shit
tranquil bough
you guys block?
vestal star
at this point with the added AI and new types, if you don't block you are either a reflex master, always go for stealth or are already 6 feet below
TL;DR I love the changes, now it feels a load more exciting to actually get in a huge group fight and win
It's a really decent challenge
(this is all form the perspective of the hardest difficulty btw)
tranquil bough
found the pipe mooks (both regular and pink) to be more tougher than before,also that they tend to drop more broken pipes instead
vestal star
found the pipe mooks (both regular and pink) to be more tougher than before,also...

Enemies can also sometimes punch the wall by accident
brazen locust
Ya gotta be holding a movement key first, then tap shift
vestal star
hmm. For me it feels intuitive, especially when combining it with sprinting. You can go from 0 to faster than normal sprint in a second
I love doing that btw, pls do not nerf

The sprint has to build up a bit of momentum first.

not when you dodge into it

Same if you keep throwing stuff from the dark

cough cough lasso tool emberassment cough cough
next oyster
Yeah the way the colors look separated like that is just the filter
I use it for everything because it also smooths out lines
vestal star
I spent entire 2 fucking days looking at how those were made
thin walrus
can i ask something about doors...........
next oyster
Ye
vestal star
If it's about how they are done, it's actually answered in this channel up above
thin walrus
internet went off 🥲
thin walrus
i know how to do them, i just don't know how to make them pivot in the opposite direction
thin walrus
nah, lemme see if i can explain this correctly bcs english isn't my main language lmao
so since doors are made to open to the left on default (i guess), i don't know how to make a double door because both open to the same direction
thin walrus
i can't seem to flip linedefs, only when they face the wrong direction
i'll dig into it tomorrow, i might be too tired rn
vestal star
good sleep is a good work ethic

So I can do the grab finisher but it seems like Mike just floors the dude in like 2 seconds if I don't do anything quick enough.
I think I'm mucking up something. :x
vestal star
it's automatic as of now
vestal star
it is!
safe fractal
At least I still got the almighty spinkick/uppercut finisher.
Also was the ability to windup your punch/swing there in the beginning? I honestly don't remember being able to do it.
vestal star
Yep, it was always there

Maybe like some others said, have the goon fidget their way out of a grab or maybe have a small stunlock penalty if you hold on to them for too long.
vestal star
I'd never say that

Blame Discord and their gif feature.
That's right, I'm blaming everything else but myself.
vestal star
safe fractal
Well, it is the boomer way.
vestal star
True
safe fractal
idk if it was ever said but in the story for FA are we going to have levels where we play as Dahlia or Nightwave?
vestal star
I think the devs said that it might be an option in some levels, but Mike is gonna be the primary focus for sure
safe fractal
I figured as much, would be cool to have some alternate viewpoints.
I'm happy with whatever comes our way for sure though.
vestal star
Same here
safe fractal
IF the feature for playing as other character does become a thing though, it would be neat for them to all have their own fighting style.
I noticed Mike is a total brawler type.
vestal star
Yeah
thin walrus
stealth mission as delia 😳
vestal star
All of this has been talked about with the devs in this channel, so if you wanna read up a bit more, scroll up a bit

Nightwave I can see being more like Batman, sticking to the shadows, only fighting when need be.

All of this has been talked about with the devs in this channel, so if you wanna...
Oh badass, for sure.

how many played hours you guys have in fallen aces
vestal star
not that much, like about 11.7 hours
That's not including all the hours on launching and seeing how my level looks
safe fractal
Only for 5.6 hours, kinda surprising tbh.
I feel like I'm always booting up the demo and experimenting with combat or something in the game.
vestal star
same
safe fractal
To say I'm obsessively waiting for this and Gloomwood is an understatement.
vestal star
I'm in the same boat as you are, my friend
thin walrus
i have about 30 hours, most of it was just running in the background while editing the map tbh
thin walrus
it does, just start a new game 😎
vestal star
thin walrus
got ya with that one, can't fool me
vestal star
I just haven't tested that yet is all
although technically, since the code just draws everything back once you start a new game (I think), that should work
thin walrus
i'm curious about how long did it take to make the demo episode
vestal star
well, trey has said he is well-versed in doom builder
So i'm guessing somewhere around moderate time
hard to put into months tho
thin walrus
i can tell he's well-versed lmao
vestal star
that outside map is crash-your-app city I swear
thin walrus
didn't crash mine but lagged a lot

pins do help, but there are a lot of small technical bumps that do need explaining

what
vestal star
yep that's what I expected
thin walrus
have you used doom builder before?
split arch
I only used Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Pattern Maker
vestal star
nice
thin walrus
yep that's what I expected
you know i have a notepad with all the custom lines i find lmao
vestal star
wdym custom lines
thin walrus
the custom properties
vestal star
ahhh
I haven't gotten around to all the custom events, mostly just shaping the map rn
May have gotten a bit too ambitious, but it shouldn't take long
it's mostly just looking at how to make it fun
thin walrus
you making a playable level, right?
vestal star
yep, for all the denizens of this channel
thin walrus
i'm just making things that look cool
vestal star
it's a great exercise for getting good at texturing and level design
thin walrus
I should plan out a level too but i have 0 idea of level design
vestal star
it's not about making the best map that you don't have the skills to do - it's more about making them to learn what you could do better to get closer to that goal
thin walrus
I know that for sure, but I demand too much of myself so I usually get stuck a lot with my projects
vestal star
I was the same (and mostly still am), but I try to stop comparing myself to accomplished artists and instead comparing my current work with work I had done before
really helps get that sense of accomplishment

pastel zephyr
what are the commands
tranquil bough
no clip and god mode so far
thin walrus
which was the name of the setting the game is set in?
vestal star
noir?
thin walrus
I think it was something more specific, I believe trey said the world is based on how people in the 20's thought the future was going to be like
vestal star
oh really?
vestal star
ah ok
thin walrus
i was searching by the term noirpunk and didn't find much stuff, I guess it's retro futurism
safe fractal
I get rough late 60's-70's vibes from the game.
safe fractal
What other modern tech is there aside from the communicator that Mike and Nightwave use?
I honestly didn't notice.
thin walrus
the coffee? machine has a pretty futuristic shape i guess
but still has that vintage look
vestal star
I think the big fucking golden tower is a big flag that this isn't a normal noir era
safe fractal
Oh well that too, lmfao.
thin walrus
lmao
safe fractal
I hope we get to go to that golden tower in the full game. 😄

Noirpunk

it's probs too early to say anything about the technology, all we visited was some shite bar I would never come back to

so I say we should wait for the other levels, you see

there's a game engine (mostly for 2D I think) called gamemaker studio
I've played around with it, idk how they managed that

i asked trey before about having mooks be in iron man suits mk1 style, and he said thats for next chapter
brazen locust
Yeah initially it was Gamemaker, I wasn't experienced with Unity at the time but I knew GM well. As the game got bigger we decided to
port to Unity since it'd be easier to maintain and we'd have less limitations
vestal star
I'd say it's a good decision. The thought of expanding a game like this on Gamemaker makes me shudder from horror
dense scaffold
Playing through the demo again rn, seems to be running better than last time
Definitely a huge improvement over the og demo, lighter is great, enemies are more fun to take down and the game feels a lot more rewarding
Like you're rewarded for remembering weapon locations and accurately landing your shots
Overall, fuckin love this game LMAO
Currently listening to Gianni shitting his guts out it's great

And only just played the demo when it released.
But is there any general date on when it might be released?
tranquil bough
halcyon lantern
Not good enough.
Gotta be some approx date.
1st quarter, 3rd quarter etc
Something vague.
I'm really looking forward to this game.
solar prism
halcyon lantern
A vague time period.
I'd be fine with that.
But it's said "soon" for a long time now.
So it doesn't really mean anything.
severe blade
there isnt a date
thats why its
actually there is
sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

could be something with first playthroughs?

either that, or playing it with noir filter
anyways the best easter egg of this game is getting deaf thanks to a bug
whenever you leave something like Master audio under 100%, next time you load the game it goes to like fucking 1000% or something
it's been there since day 1, and now it's my friend
it even happens with the mouse sensitivity I think
Here's the proof!
WATCHOUT WITH THE VOLUME PLEASE

Yeah the game doesn't like widescreen at the moment
brazen locust
Here's the proof!
Whoa that is cursed, when you leave the volume under 100% could you check the settings file and see what it says under "MasterVolume"?
Should be in %username%/AppData/LocalLow/New Blood Interactive/Fallen Aces Demo/user.cfg
odd tusk
Your gun crosshair seems off.
maybe it's because I'm playing in Ultrawide, tho I haven't realized it until you mentioned it lol
brazen locust
Thanks, that looks normal to me. I'll have to look into this some more
odd tusk
watchout for the volume
this bug is really funny, and I'm curious to see how it even happened lmao
lemme test if the sensitivity is also really high
yep
the second I open the options to see the presets, the game suddenly remembers the true value it's supposed to have lol
drifting sonnet
watchout for the volume
It's so beautiful
brazen locust
Lol, hm I wonder if happens with FOV or brightness/contrast
odd tusk
Lol, hm I wonder if happens with FOV or brightness/contrast
afaik I never had any issue with FOV, and I didn't touch brightness or contrast
I'll try those later, the electricity just went off lol
safe fractal
I'm curious, will Fallen Aces have controller support on full release?
I have no issues playing with K+M but would not be able to play long stretchs due to a slight disability with my hands.
next oyster
Yeah controller support will be added down the line
brazen locust
watchout for the volume
What I'm thinking is the game ignores the decimal point and just sets the volume to 99 ( Out of 0-1 )
Next time I guess try setting it to 0.1 and see if that counts as max volume in game
ty btw for the info on this!
vestal star
Lol I just noticed this when doing a full stealth run. The highlights tend to go through sprites, like the wooden boards
rustic bolt
watchout for the volume
I hope there will be a developer note to not set the volume config higher than it's supposed to
next oyster
Malone has the best insults
rustic bolt
Malone has the best insults
for reale?

I didnt even knew he had insults, he died so fast or all the gunfire would muffle whatever he had to say
Maybe something else the game should have is subtitles

I've used the trolley to kill the guards on occasion, but one time I knocked them all out and placed their bodies on the track

brazen locust
Btw, you can bait Malone to use up all his mags

also, btw, if you jump just before landing you can avoid fall damage
not sure why

also one of the goons is punching my dead body right now, or at least that's what the sounds suggest
