Do some detective work. There are some hints where both of them are located. Try reading notes or listening to some goons talking

The diarrhea lore is very important

as an ultrakill player its hard to read but i found the book

#

Nice. Delia is in a secret room somewhere. Just gotta find the switch

#

I know everyone wants to know how development is going. It's going great, we are still working on it every day. I wish we could go faster but we are only 2 guys. We will have more cool shit to show off once we are ready. Gloomwood has been in development for a few years, Aces is no different.

#

ok im gonna be honest this was such a well hidden button

#

Plus, the way you're making art assets is an enormous time sink.

#

I think future episodes will be easier to produce but episode 1 will be the hardest because we are still setting up systems and stuff for the editor.

Keep plugging away, aces is looking good

will aces gonna get localisation to other languages? Or its gonna be only english?

#

I wanna double down on what trey said here, those boys are working extremely hard on it, and while we didn't show much, the game has made a lot of progress

#

The technical side of things has gotten a huge number of improvements and features

warped vector
#

I don't doubt it, i'm super excited for it

dawn bluff
#

probably the most laborous game I've ever seen imo

Hey buddy, fuggedaboutit

left oak
#

ay i just played the demo, still havent beaten it yet, im in the nightclub

#

i REALLY regret putting this game under my radar haha

#

aight beat up malone and beat the demo]

#

honestly im REALLY into this

dawn bluff
#

welcome to the club

fading plover
#

i love all the different ways you can beat the shit out of malone

left oak
#

its a really awesome concept for a game

left oak
fading plover
#

you can also chuck a gas canister at him

#

and he literally explodes

left oak
#

oh yeah there's gibs

#

i saw them first outside of the nightclub with the train

#

i put every enemy who was unconsious there

#

and they all popped

#

also i always kill enemies

#

dont care if they're just unconsious

#

they better have that dead tag

#

also question about NB

#

why are all their games bangers

#

like i liked dusk, i liked gloomwood, i liked ultrakill and i liked this game

cunning geyser
#

dont worry, their duke nukem forever is coming!

tranquil bough
#

Who’s gonna leak the builds

cunning geyser
#

Maybe they'll even pull a cyberpunk 2077

dawn bluff
#

doubt it

#

companies like studio project red have investors they have to please

#

afaik New Blood doesn't have that

#

so they can take as long as they want

#

only thing they can really lose is interest in the game atm

cunning geyser
dawn bluff
#

I mean is New Blood even a studio?

#

from what I've seen it's more the less of a group of developers doing own thing under one banner

#

they do get paid tho

#

idk where the money comes from tho

#

perhaps they take money from game sales and distribute it equally

#

actually yes they are a studio

warped vector
#

They do have direction from Dave Oshry, the Head Honcho, so the games turn out in a way that fits their brand, and often devs from other games help each other

glacial nacelle
#

hop on fallen aces

dawn bluff
#

basically a traditional game studio but without the investors

cunning geyser
#

Battleborn is coming

elfin barn
elfin barn
dawn bluff
#

also publishers

#

since they mostly run their business on steam

#

a platform where indie devs can self publish

cunning geyser
#

they dont publish games they didnt make tho

#

or contributed significant amount at least

#

so saying "just a publisher" is pretty far off

paper meteor
#

Neat model, I’d try and work with them but have nothing to offer (at least until they branch into RPGs)

cunning geyser
#

They are making a RPG already

paper meteor
#

Oh shit, who’s in charge of that one?

cunning geyser
#

no clue no deets

#

all we have is couple 2 second clips of it and that it's influenced by fallout

there's a LOT of med kits if you know where to look

so thats why he takes a massive shit

faint wharf
tranquil bough
#

yes

mighty folio
#

it seems

south cedar
fading plover
#

kind of bothers me how nothing happens when the shitting audio ends

#

i mean he just stays in there perfectly fine, even after "the big one"

#

what if he fucking exploded like a gas canister afterwards

dawn bluff
#

same tbh

next oyster
#

I don't think anybody's tried exploding a gas canister at Marty or the bathroom stall door. Someone should try it.

fading plover
#

god did you make it so that the explosion turns brown

#

just guessin here

#

gonna try it out now

fading plover
#

hmm

#

it doesn't look like anything special is happening

#

though i did it right outside the door

#

let me try throwing it directly at marty

#

yeah there doesn't seem to be any real difference

#

he definitely does explode

#

unless im supposed to wait until after the big one

#

on an unrelated note

#

i had no idea you could hit the chandeliers

#

that shit is cool

#

and the fact that they literally fall down too

dawn bluff
#

falling down chandeliers in a videogame?

#

never heard of that before

#

lol

fading plover
#

cool shit nonetheless

#

man now i gotta see how much damage they do

#

alright i can now confirm nothing special happens even after the big one

#

no shitsplosions in sight

#

yeah nothin

#

damn

#

i tried to knock out malone multiple times to see if i could spawn infinite pistols

#

unfortunately did not work

dawn bluff
#

is that fucking Aces in 4:3?

next oyster
#

I was curious of what would happen. Never really took into account players blowing up Marty. Wasn't sure what would happen.

left oak
#

also this game is awesome from all the shit in it

#

like in my playthroughs after the first one, i didnt know unconsious enemies could wake up, you could take pipes from the walls, didn't know there was a tommy gun, and a bunch of other jazz

paper meteor
#

Makes me feel like a regular wyatt earp

warped vector
#

This is the great thing about the game, all the cool little things that make it more immersive

#

I just realized something, this might be because i played Blood for 15 hours now, but i feel like this game feels a bit like a Build Engine game

dawn bluff
#

what no way

#

where'd you pull that conclusion from?

vestal star
#

I'm guessing because of...levels being made in doombuilder...?

dawn bluff
#

also where is the ladies room?

flint kraken
#

youll never know

dawn bluff
#

perhaps Moth and Flame is a men attracted to the same gender bar where there are female performances on occasion

vestal star
#

but what if the female performers need to go to the restroom?

#

do they go to the same room anyway?

dawn bluff
#

perhaps a secret room in the backstage area

vestal star
#

one we have not seen? BigThink

warped vector
#

If Fallen Aces requires us to blow up walls and objects to progress with the level tho? That changes everything

next oyster
left oak
#

fuck

#

i still gotta find a fucking spaghetti room

#

any hints?

#

just a hint, don't directly tell me where it is

#

you say room, so i assume it's in the club

next oyster
#

Nope, it's in the outdoor area

dawn bluff
#

oooh I think ik what Trey means

"the eyes are watching"

YEAH I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR A HORROR GAME

flint kraken
#

Or did you?

mighty folio
#

I am hyped for this game plot

fading plover
#

so is A.C.E.S. supposed to be the Anti-Crime Enforcement Squad or is it Service?

#

because on the newspaper outside the moth and flame it says squad

#

but on the badge (||presumably delia's||) in the fitting room, it says service

next oyster
#

Squad. There are some inconstancies.

fading plover
#

gotcha

#

man i think my favorite move in combat is literally breaking goons' necks with the sheer might of mike's kick

#

because you can just jump up and aim down at a goon

#

and when you kick the force of it literally sends them down to the ground so fast they break their neck

#

i live for the bone crunch sound

tranquil bough
#

so a jump kick of sorts?

fading plover
#

yeah

#

but it has to be aimed at the ground

#

for some reason whenever I skip the cutscene at the beginning of the game and actually load in. My game is actually 1 fps

#

And my pc is good enough.

Sounds like they are using the cutscene as a loading screen

jade quartz

It seems that you were dealt a shitty hand

I had forgotten how... Pedestrian... The old cutscenes were. The new cutscenes are so delightful.

There are new cutscenes?

Yeah

So fucking good

They perfectly capture the pulp comic look of the game

It would be amazing if the engine could replicate the pantone look in real time

At the very least, a film grain would be nice

You captured my favorite look for a comic ever

So I’m having an issue running the Fallen Aces demo on my laptop, and not really sure where else to put. The game just becomes completely black and crashes after watching/skipping the first cutscene, and I have no idea what to do to fix it. Anyone got any advice?

open laurel
#

So the first time I start a new game after firing up the game it freezes and has a not working g windows thingy

#

Or sometimes ot just freezes

#

You have to a wait a little longer

#

But that's just me other people are probably different

#

I've started a new game about 3000 times lol

jagged dew
#

How long roughly should I wait? It’s been about 5 minutes or so I’m kinda unsure.

#

Oh dear god what happened why is it pulling up security options

open laurel
#

Oh

open laurel
#

Fuck

#

Idk

#

That's actually never happened to me

#

Maybe try reinstalling or like validating the game files

jagged dew
#

I mean I know I’m running it on a craptop but Ultrakill and Dusk run fine enough, maybe I just accidentally activated it since I was just hitting buttons a ton.

#

Also good idea, I’ll try that.

open laurel
#

If you can run those games I feel you could run fallen aces

#

Maybe you have to many other things opened

#

Probably not

#

Just assuming at this point

#

That typo

jagged dew
#

I only had Steam open at the time, but yeah I could’ve been. I’m restarting the computer which is taking a while.

open laurel
#

I used to have a shitty laptop as well

#

Know how it is

jagged dew
#

Man I hate using the craptop.

#

I do have a nice computer I’ve used in the past but it’s not set up at the moment.

open laurel
#

Oh I see

#

Do you plan to set it up anytime soon

jagged dew
#

Once I finally get my apartment cleaned then yes hopefully, but it’s still be nice to at least have the demo on both machines.

open laurel
#

Makes sense

jagged dew
#

I think I just killed my computer man.

I force shut it down so I’m trying again

#

God this is why I am on a break from pc gaming

Too stressful for me

I have an irrational fear that my computer will fuckibg die

With seemingly no end

#

If it does get past that, black screen

It might be updating something

Just let it run for a bit and see

But yeah it’s fixing itself, man I got worried

I wanna keep this

jagged dew
#

Oh god

open laurel

I feel ya

jagged dew
#

It said it couldn’t repair

#

Man

#

I’m so done with my craptop man I just wanted to run Fallen Aces

open laurel
#

Fallen aces is a virus now apparently

jagged dew
#

I went to advanced options and clicked load up windows 10 anyways

#

Now it’s on the black screen

#

I swear if I just bricked my computer for this

open laurel
#

I'm wishing you the best

jagged dew
#

It said update failed and it’s on a loading screen again

#

Also thanks, I hope it works

open laurel
#

Glad I could kind of help

#

Apparently you should just retry

jagged dew
#

I’m just letting it do it’s thing

#

OH DEAR GOD IT TURNED ON

#

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

open laurel
#

YES!

Never trying that again on it, but at least it runs again!

At least everything else works great on it

Literally every time I play fallen aces it’s like a game of “will I have to restart my pc or not”

yknow i think it's comical just how easily you can lure the moth and flame guards onto the train tracks

#

to the point where i hope there are some ai improvements to make that harder in the full release

#

or maybe to make the goons investigate a bit more

cunning geyser
#

where is the fun in that?

#

Make them splash

fading plover
#

well i think this is definitely something that could be in "Sleep with the fishes"

#

but maybe it could be toned down in the other difficulties

#

still on the goons, though i think it would be cool if they were like actually around and doing stuff

#

like the shitting goon

#

you find him on the toilet and then he rises up

tranquil bough
#

Well they have conversations with each other

fading plover
#

yeah and i like that

#

but like what if the goons at the billiards table were like actually standing around it or looking at the table

#

or hell even playing

#

i think idle chatter could be intersting too

#

although it could get repetitive

#

yknow just stuff to make em feel a bit more alive instead of standing around and saying nothing

#

especially in a bar too

The only question is how difficult it would be to add them

#

Someone already picked Iron Lung to pieces and replaced ocean of blood with ocean of beans

#

It shouldn’t be too difficult. I assume fallen aces is a unity game so you would have to find the sprites and change them with your own custom ones

#

I haven’t picked a unity game apart before. I’m more surface level stuff. File snooping and what not

hey I've been thinking, what if different enemy types had different card symbols for their detection meter?

jade quartz
#

This is my favorite idea yet

#

And if you kill them, the card falls

vestal star
#

I've been experimenting with it, but since every enemy has the same icon, I could only change it to an ace for every goon

#

still looks kinda cool

jade quartz
#

Ngl its hella neat

next oyster
#

Watcha mean?

vestal star
#

Well, as the devs you could probably add more visual flair to it, but the basic idea is this

#

and then different enemy types can have different card symbols for the detection meter

#

might be super unnecessary but could also help with distinguishing who's a bigger threat

#

or something along those lines

warped vector
#

Oh wow, that looks kinda cool

vestal star
#

I've got more ideas cooking up but I'll see what I can do with current restrictions

but yeah I think the different detection symbols would be cool

this game looked promising in the trailers

instantly killed my interest

i watched it

Play the demo, it's good

there's only a gun in the end and people fight like they're in a boxing ring not a real fight

#

too unrealistic

Buddy you have no idea, this demo fully commits to it being like a full real fight, the enemies gang up on you and corner you when they're big in numbers

tranquil bough
#

there's more than just one on one fights

Yeah, you need to play the game to see how real shit can get

if you're gonna make a fighting system you really should make it look and feel like a real fight

it means you're not one to talk lmao

#

you don't need to know kung fu to do more than mimick boxing

i just feel that the game has design aspects that heavily conflict with each other

like it's not a good idea to make a first person beat em up game with sprites, everything is just so clunky

Yeah, guys an asshole, glad he died. But you are doing yourself a favor by not playing it. Game definitely doesn't let you pick up anything as a weapon, doesn't allow for stealth gameplay, doesn't have open ended level design and definitely doesn't let you spin kick guys into trains.

spin kick?

will there be more moves like that in the final game?

#

i have soooo many problems with that game

#

I just picked a game with an in-depth hand to hand system

If fact, ya got a number of different weapons. And not all the enemies fist fight, some have guns bats and knives

There's pistols hidden in the demo, and a special secret unveils a tommy gun

#

like seeing thugs on the street somehow not carrying a piece

The dev said that the full game will have a lot more guns in general too, like the mission will have guards with pistols on them

next oyster
#

Yeah later levels there will be more guys with tommy guns n such.

warped vector
#

Buddy, i've seen The Warriors, and only 2 people in that entire movie had handguns

crystal silo
#

i see

warped vector
#

And the warriors is fucking badass

next oyster
#

Yeah we looked at the Warriors a little for inspiration among other things

crystal silo
#

i must say, the gunshot response animations look satisfying

crystal silo
next oyster
#

Yeah guns hurt. Don't get shot

warped vector
#

Oh another thing: The full game is gonna have enemies grapple you and try to strangle you

crystal silo
#

cos manhunt 1 was influenced by the warriors too

next oyster
#

Of course you don't have to fight anybody you can just karate chop them and throw their bodies at their friends

warped vector
#

The demo is free and it's like 30 minutes tops

next oyster
#

Of course well have molotovs and grenades. But you can also use the environment to kill enemies like kicking them into a radio to electrocute them.

#

Or just kick em in the balls a bunch, that works too.

warped vector
#

Oh yeah, you can kick enemies back, knocking other enemies in the process

tranquil bough
#

Human bowling

next oyster
#

Yeah basically. Enemies right now are a bit basic, but later enemies will have more movesets.

crystal silo
#

reminds me a bit of that vr game

#

path of the warrior

#

gameplay wise

next oyster
#

Condemned was the main inspiration for combat. So enemies will attack and block, but also feign attacks n stuff. We might have it so enemies will run away if you are beating their asses too bad.

crystal silo
#

condemned combat is amazing

next oyster
#

The only thing they can't do is pick up weapons like you can. Bit too advanced for us to pull off. As cool as that would be

warped vector
next oyster
#

It's in the demo. Pipe guys and goons will fake you out so you panic block.

warped vector
#

I mean the running away

next oyster
#

Oh, yeah we were dabbling with the idea of a morale system

#

There are some other things I want to try like having wounded enemies limp away n stuff.

warped vector
#

Only other game that did that was Fear i think, and the wounded enemies limping would be amazing

next oyster
#

I think that's something the warriors did. They would crawl away n stuff.

KABOOM.

dawn bluff
#

what about battlefield dynamite?

#

yk, dropping bombs that can be detonated remotely?

#

although that kinda brings me to one concern I have for the game

#

where there are so many weapons that look pretty op make the game too easy

#

or giving the player too many choices

flint kraken
#

i mean they are op but so far dont show up much

#

and have limited ammo

flint kraken
dawn bluff
#

nah as in melee

flint kraken
#

we will have to see

#

im assuming they have durability

#

same as all the other weapons

dawn bluff
#

from the trailer I could see a stiletto being able to kill a wiseguy with just one swing

flint kraken
#

yeah

dawn bluff
#

they do but yea

#

but what's even the point when you can only kill like one dude with it?

flint kraken
#

i mean this game is technically an imsim, but different as its much more fast paced then the average imsim

#

your supposed to grab a weapon, use it, throw it, dodge back and find something else to use

#

thats the basic battle style

dawn bluff
#

you're not seeing my point here

#

really I'm slightly concerned there'd be too many powerful weapons lying around, making the game a bit easy

flint kraken
#

yeah thats understandable

#

but also you can be killed very easily

#

so hopefully itll balance out

#

but we will have to see i guess

dawn bluff
#

yes

#

there'll be more enemies

vestal star
#

a good point, but there are a ton of ways to balance it: durability, speed, rarity, chapter locked etc.

dawn bluff
#

wonder how Trey will balance this all out

flint kraken
#

its definitely gonna be difficult

#

but im sure the end result will be fine

dawn bluff
#

I hope so

vestal star
#

some might get scrapped, some might be area/chapter locked... There are ways, but it's early to tell

dawn bluff
#

hyped af for this game

flint kraken
#

same

vestal star
#

besides, I think the game will be early access, which is an even better way for the devs to test out ideas for balance and see if they work

vestal star
vestal star
# next oyster okay but what ranks would the suits represent?

btw, to follow up, it entirely depends on how many types and enemies the final game would have. Each suit (or maybe the royalty as well) could also represent how strong an enemy is, differentiating enemies into different categories based on your preference, although it might not fit that well

#

Another idea would be to have an icon for the different enemies(goons, pipe guys, guys with guns etc.) and have one of the suits (or royalty) on it. The icon would show the type of enemy and the suit could show the strength/sub-type

#

these aren't to look final btw, just to visualize the idea

dawn bluff
#

are these supposed to be hud icons?

vestal star
#

Yeah, in place of these

They would fill up all the same, I just shaded it to look nice

But also power in numbers obv. One guy ain't nothin, but a horde of gangsters? Forget it

Damn mike that boy got a fat ass

paper meteor
fading plover
#

yknow i wonder what the "intended" difficulty is

#

because me personally i think sleep with the fishes is the most fun way to play

#

but i would assume the normal difficulty is what every weapon and enemy will be balanced around

#

speaking of difficulty

#

in the full release, are the difficulties going to amount to more than just "more enemies more damage"?

#

like will there be enemy behaviors or even weapon placements unique to each difficulty

#

like i think for the first two difficulties there are more than enough healthkits around

#

but maybe these would be decreased on hard or heal less

if he got one that is

Prob melee attack you with the gun like Malone does

no but like malone is gonna throw molotovs in the base game

so I assume tommy gunner might get smth too
