Or shitting
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.
Yeah, shot myself in the foot with that one.
Check Malone's office
And... There really isn't an easier way
It's pretty obvious why all the enemies in urban brawl have one directional set of frames...
People have told me to export models as sprites in blender but if I did that it wouldn't look like my han dawn stuff. I'd have to go back and change everything.
i did it i just say that cause it was well hidden
I'm a sadist
Will there be pallette swaps of enemies?
I'm picturing mooks with different color hats, pants and shirts
yes actually
there's a pic somewhere
not on my pc saved rn
Noice
i finished
congrats
Good work
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
I don't doubt it, i'm super excited for it
probably the most laborous game I've ever seen imo
massive respect for Trey and Jason
Making unity our bitch
loving the chaos
milkshakes and mayhem 
Good level name
Cannot wait for this game to come out
Hey buddy, fuggedaboutit
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
welcome to the club
i love all the different ways you can beat the shit out of malone
its a really awesome concept for a game
i just whipped him with the pan, panicked when all the guys went out, beat em, only saw malone's gun when there was 2 mooks left
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
dont worry, their duke nukem forever is coming!
Who’s gonna leak the builds
wuhwoh!!!
Maybe they'll even pull a cyberpunk 2077
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
yet
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
Thats pretty much it, yeah
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
hop on fallen aces
yeee they basically make what they want
basically a traditional game studio but without the investors
Battleborn is coming
im always using thompson.
Just rushing into the room, and shooting at everyone
Arent its just a publisher?
I looked it up, they're a studio
also publishers
since they mostly run their business on steam
a platform where indie devs can self publish
they dont publish games they didnt make tho
or contributed significant amount at least
so saying "just a publisher" is pretty far off
Neat model, I’d try and work with them but have nothing to offer (at least until they branch into RPGs)
They are making a RPG already
Oh shit, who’s in charge of that one?
no clue no deets
all we have is couple 2 second clips of it and that it's influenced by fallout
Friendship ended with Fallen Aces, untitled New Blood RPG is my new best friend
treason
wheres the thompson?
Basement
traitorous scum
sentenced to 1 hour of goon shitting
NOOOOOO
what the fuck
why does the guy in the bathroom have like 5 minutes of lines
legit just noises of him taking a shit and talking
also the thompson is fun as hell
Yes.
whyyyy
Because Gianni is built different
Gianni had to find a way to capitalize on his extraordinary bowel movements
Money makes a man do some wild shit
Literally
wow
there's a LOT of med kits if you know where to look
also 🤨
so thats why he takes a massive shit
ayo is that an ultrakill reference
yes
well he ended up enjoying it
it seems
Poo lore
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
same tbh
I don't think anybody's tried exploding a gas canister at Marty or the bathroom stall door. Someone should try it.
god did you make it so that the explosion turns brown
just guessin here
gonna try it out now
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
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
is that fucking Aces in 4:3?
I was curious of what would happen. Never really took into account players blowing up Marty. Wasn't sure what would happen.
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
Yeah I love shooting the chandeliers down to hit goons
Makes me feel like a regular wyatt earp
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
I'm guessing because of...levels being made in doombuilder...?
also where is the ladies room?
perhaps Moth and Flame is a men attracted to the same gender bar where there are female performances on occasion
but what if the female performers need to go to the restroom?
do they go to the same room anyway?
perhaps a secret room in the backstage area
one we have not seen? 
Well, it's just that Blood is the only boomer shooter i know where the locations look like actual places
If Fallen Aces requires us to blow up walls and objects to progress with the level tho? That changes everything
Did ya find the spaghetti room?
what
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
Nope, it's in the outdoor area
oooh I think ik what Trey means
Crimbus?
fuck
also i love all the secrets
ik there's 3 medkits in the outside area
4
4 of em
um
pasghetti room
that's the spaghetti room?
I assume so
nice!
what a shame...
may his Barbine, Bavette, Bigoli, Bucatini, Busiate, Capellini, Fedelini, Ferrazzuoli, Fettuccine, Fileja, Linguine, Lagane, Lasagna, Lasagnette, Lasagnotte, Maccheroni alla molinara, Maccheroncini di Campofilone, Mafalde, Matriciani, Pappardelle, Perciatelli, Picagge, Pici, Pillus, Rustiche, Sagne 'ncannulate, Scialatelli, Spaghetti, Spaghetti alla chitarra, Spaghettini, Spaghettoni, Stringozzi, Su Filindeu, Tagliatelle, Taglierini, Trenette, Tripoline, Vermicelli, and Ziti rest in peace
(yes i just went through the wikipedia page for pasta and copy and pasted everything for this stupid fucking joke)
so spaghetti room is just free gun?
Is it normal that the game crashes after the intro? :o
Someone know how to fix that?
yeah waht the fuck
im not sure if it's because i beat the demo or because i found spaghetti room
yeah i'm currently playing on an exceptionally shitty laptop
the only stable resolution i can run it on
Sometimes the game will crash on loading screen. Just restart
The fuck did I just find
"the eyes are watching"
YEAH I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR A HORROR GAME
Or did you?
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
Squad. There are some inconstancies.
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
so a jump kick of sorts?
I really have some struggles with close quarters fights here, cuz i need to be really close to an enemy to land a hit
With the fists?
niceeeee
damn das nice
nightwave my beloved ❤️
Fists are kinda meant to be a bit stubby with attacks to nudge ya to use the environment as a weapon, like pipes and bottles. Some have more reach than others. We will have more weapons in the future that have more reach.
they actually have range? wow
like i didnt even noticed this, but really most of the times i had problems with kicking people
So kicking is more for getting guys away from you to give ya space and to kick them into hazards (example: the trolley, or by electrocuting them by kicking them into a soda machine or radio) in the future we'll have it so kicks will make them stumble backwards if they don't fly back.
yeah, i found it out, but hit registration is kinda "bulky"?
Can they block your kick? Or it will always push them away?
also cool bat
No more super kicks 😔
Mike’s been skipping out of leg day
question
how do you get the secret ||Dead Aces menu screen? The one with the title card saying Dead Aces and some guy outside your window.||
||i think its a rare chance probably 1/10 (maybe even 1/5) upon your return to the menu after finding the diced person room in your play session||
||Spaghetti room||
it only happens once i'm pretty sure
I thought you get it after dying
Will i be able to slap a goon so hard they become chicken?
love it when I do a super hit with a pipe then I kick
That's the neat thing, ||you can't.||
what do you mean
shit
so its just there to creep ya
yeah
||I was in the torture room where Delia was|| and ig I got pushed out of bounds by a projectile? I have no idea what happened
I did lure quite tjhe mod inside tho
very odd.
doom secret room reference
doom secret room reference
i guess theres a way into the room that doesn't involve stacking trash cans?
Yes there is, there's a newspaper stand that you can just jump on top, and run and jump onto the window
You don't need no key, you can kick doors down
you need to break it down fully
The door cracks more and more until it breaks open
3 kicks does it

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
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?
mike looks like he has been thru a lot
truly
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
I was really critical of the demo cutscenes art. When I saw the new ones, I was immediately sold.
Judging by Fallen Aces clip on New Blood, he actually was. There is one or two comic pictures where someone(presumably Nightwave) calls him and tells him that someone is going to kill him.
he actually was and he actually is 😔
that used to be my pfp
what is your pfp now? Looks like FA fanart
Comic filter 
yeah it is a fan art thing I found it online
link? :)
can't find it
awesome
ACES lore? 👁️ 👁️
So, the only reason Mike took the job is because he needs to pay his rent? Brutal.
You seen housing pricing these days,sure would do anything for payment
It's Umburgh! There's so much gangs, I'm surprised that you actually pay to live here, and not the other way around.
is there a new update for fallen aces demo?
no
Damn. I saw someone say there's an update
Mike
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?
So I've started a new game hundreds of times I think I know
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
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
Oh

Fuck
Idk
That's actually never happened to me
Maybe try reinstalling or like validating the game files
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.
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
I only had Steam open at the time, but yeah I could’ve been. I’m restarting the computer which is taking a while.
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.
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.
Makes sense
I think I just killed my computer man.
I have not used my gaming laptop in 4 months
It ain’t starting up at all now fuck.
It's plugged in right
Yes it is
Hmm that's really fucking odd
I force shut it down so I’m trying again
Gianni shitting was just too much for the craptop
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
I think it just happened to me, it’s been loading for far too long
It's a demanding voice clip
Damn I don't really understand computers so let me think
Oh maybe google?
Lol
That's where I go always
Usually find something
So what happens when you turn on your laptop
Stuck on the startup loading screen
With seemingly no end
If it does get past that, black screen
Oh shit it might, it did say it had an update ready
Oh shit something else came up
“Preparing automatic repair”
yea it's just resetting
i know that message too well from blue screens 
Glad it's fine
God I can't wait for the new fallen aces content
Gonna speedrun the shit out of it
Me too if my craptop ever gets it shit together
But yeah it’s fixing itself, man I got worried
I wanna keep this
Oh god
That happens a lot with me
I feel ya
It said it couldn’t repair
Man
I’m so done with my craptop man I just wanted to run Fallen Aces
Fallen aces is a virus now apparently
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
I'm wishing you the best
It said update failed and it’s on a loading screen again
Also thanks, I hope it works
Never trying that again on it, but at least it runs again!
At least everything else works great on it
Is Dagoth Ur a fallen ace?
Mike can punch and beat anything except his rent
Idk if it’s me using linux but fallen aces chugs for me while uk and dusk work fine
Literally every time I play fallen aces it’s like a game of “will I have to restart my pc or not”
Haven’t finished the demo cuz of that
Also have to run the game on the lowest resolution to get 40fps
Worth mentioning my specs suck doodoo
The opening part of the game is pretty laggy for me
Yeah it's just normal
yea the demo is not really optimized that well
the 3gb download should've been a hint lol
Figures
He talks

These clowns are burning down the whole damn neighborhood

ho ho ho
nice
Fallen Acres

A farmer widow dating site
babe wake up new fake url just dropped
Creator died. So not soon
im going to beat the creator to death
Again?
f
It's fallen
Was it the Chainsaw bears again?
HEYYYY
Newblood devs when you ask them when their game is going to come out (they have no concept of the existence of time and live as omniscient beings)
game development sadly takes a lot of time
especially with the 2 man team that's working on Fallen Aces currently
Very good so far
the demo for fallen aces is top notch
super excited for more even ive gotta wait awhile
Just played the demo. I need mooooore.

yknow i really like this channel
lotta good people in it
and it really does feel like i learn somethin new about the game pretty regularly
it's like one of the only channels I have unmuted lol
I don't really care for the other NB games
ive played it like 12 times
rookie numbers
i hope we get a big guy fallen aces cameo
He owns a clothing line
^ 
hit an enemy in the balls. special animation
bots are braindead lmfao
Gaming
found out today that the tommy gun has a spinning animation when thrown
1911 also spins around when thrown
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
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
Well they have conversations with each other
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
whoa
holy shit
just found a secret
there's ANOTHER pistol up here
damn i didn't even think anything would be up here
I still can't forgive Trey for blocking out the roof part of the demo with an invisible wall 
you get:another gun
trey get:stop skipping the tutorial section you cunts
Still glad to be one of the first ones to find out how to skip the blocked iron gate :)
Famous last words
finding how to reach that part and skip the tutorial was the moment I fell in love with the demo 
so is there no longer a way around it
mike running at the speed of a motorcycle while swaying his arms up and down is the funniest shit I've seen today
Propane 😔
Not that door, another one
that one was hard to find for me but I found it, it was dumb luck
same buddy
Sometimes the game crashed
Sometimes
Counterpoint: if you know enough of the mechanics to skip it, you don't need it
i mean you can turn off the tutorial messages at the very least
mike reaction to that 
anyone have any idea what the names of the songs are that play on the radio in game?
here are the songs (source: trey)
i don't know which ones are actually in the game
heyy thanks!
You can jump to the roofs from your spawn, then go left
precisely what i did
thats why i thought it was so odd that anything was even up there
what is the main character's full name?
like their first and last?
i know the first is mike
mike chad
^
thank you man!
what's the battle music?
Mike Hawk
i know this is old as shit but i cant stop fucking laughing
Hey who are the artist that make the sprites
trey
They got a Twitter or an online profolio I can see?
One of the main devs
Sweet
dude I can't wait for a update to the demo
No more updates
why update demo when you can spend that time making the game instead?
I can’t wait to play the full game.
I wanna do detective things.
I wanna reskin the player model and have genni do Columbo voice lines
For like mod the game
“Just one more thing” flicks cigar ash on the floor.
do wonder if custom sprites will be possible 
why wouldn't they be
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
he refused your offering of fire, better kill him
indeed
wow that was quick!
I must assume EB synth is a true helper for this project
really love how this game looks so far, reminds me of the original XIII
Are they dropping life essence though?
You've been playing too much Blood my friend
I wonder actually
how does Trey record his footage for EbSynth?
does he have like 5 cameras recording him run?
@brazen locust @next oyster How did you guys import Doombuilder maps into the Unity Engine?
fallen acres is going to be a revolution in the farming industry
The yields will skyrocket for sure
that's a smooth ass animation wtf
btw that looks like a lovely neighbourhood i hope nothing bad happens in it
@mighty folio you export the textmap with slade, check how the levels are set up in the episodes folder
I can't wait to kill everyone now 🙂
Episodes folder?
Acesdata
Lol
it's really curious to see how some people don't know fallen aces has a demo
its because of pc gaming show
i think
a lot of people also dont know hrot has a demo
I imagine its also because having demos isnt common
lol yea that surprises me
😮
Don't tell me you didn't knew either
That one also is fairly updated, which is nice
Well, for me, it's that I don't keep up with too many other games.
I primarily play Doom and Borderlands.
And other games along those lines.
how did you guys do the 3d sprite effect
I'm trying to replicate it for new blood kart
Black magic
ok cool
finished demo, DAMN this game looks good
i think it's plausible
the art assets is what's mostly holding them back
isn't it just early access and not full release though?
early access
it'll come out with episode 1, 5-7 levels if i remember correctly
and with the level editor, i hope 
I think i saw 5 levels for every episode
ep1 at least will have 7
and levels seem to be long since we only played half of one
Well that's good, better 7 than 5
shit you were fast
The demo was like half the level and it takes like half an hour for me to finish, so i'm excited
Also it’s really replayable
The main game will be even more repayable hopefully.
damn u guys are getting me even more hyped than I thought I could be
Will there be more gianny shiting?
Is gianni gonna be like that owl in castle crashers? Every time you find him, he's shitting
So what you're saying is because Unity is a PITA you render 8 different planes for each angle and unity just hides whatever plane isn't parallel to the player?
Whats PITA?
pain in the ass
Thank you
I should just do a video on how I create sprites
You would?
Would be interesting to see some insight into the dev process
More funny greyboxes yes please ty sir
That'd be VERY helpful
(for me)
would be for lots a people
this is mike's kart in new blood kart
niice
Oh my god i love it
It should have a cup holder, but instead of a cup it's wiskey
then it wouldn't be a cup holder
When he does a trick off a ramp make him smoke a cig
I go over how animation is created for the hit game Fallen Aces.
Wishlist Fallen Aces on Steam acesfallen.com
yoooo
hell yes
Oh huh you've started using Ebsynth for the rotoscoping.
always have
Even for the mook walk cycle?
Esp for the walk cycle
Think you mentioned this software thing before
i wonder if #faith uses a similar process?
I saw a video where airdorf said that he got reference videos (usually of himself) doing the actions and then tracing them out in whatever editing software he used
This reminds me of that game, Another World, where they used a similar process of rotoscoping to make their game
It's super cool to see this technique being used again, it's underrated
that was REALLY fast
thank you based Trey
you got a new subscriber 
WHWHWHA YUES HAHAHA YES
Pog
i love the buzzing sound in the background, really brings back memories
Lol I don't a proper mic
Nither do I
I can call my laptop barely a working pc
that's awesome!! why you do sprites instead of 3d animation? I'm gonna quote Kennedy and say: "we don't do these things because they are easy, we do them because they are hard!" keep up the good work.. game looks awesome with these sprites...
Said in the video, when beginning development neither dev really knew how to model
Honestly I think it's for the benefit of the game
Very unique and while showcased to be an absolute NIGHTMARE sometimes, I'm not sure it'd be the same without it
MANS A REAL LIFE GIGA CHAD
does anyone know when this game will be out?
Soon (TM)
I believe its said to be coming out this year as an early access title!
the wait is painful I know haha
Everyone smokes
doesn't he smoke in the intro
People don’t breathe oxygen in FA universe, they inhale smoke to stay alive.
They’re like living steam locomotives
But smoke
Thats Just what living in L.A. does to you
True!
FA people need Co2 to survive
hey I've been thinking, what if different enemy types had different card symbols for their detection meter?
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
Ngl its hella neat
Watcha mean?
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
Oh wow, that looks kinda cool
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
that's pretty damn cool actually
So creative!!
fallen aces
Fallen aces
fallen aces
The Aces That Have Fallen
fallen aces
fallen aces
when the aces are fallen!
Legit ugh
fallen aces
what's that?
my aces has fallen!
This is awesome! Love the creativity and it fits perfectly with the whole aesthetic
when this game is out someone should make a mod that adds onomatopoeia whenever you hit a guy
would be cool seeing "POW!" or "BANG!" on top of a mook while you're brutally beating him up

A man has fallen into aces in Lego City!
HEY!
Reload the Tommy gun and begin to shoot!
"even the aces has fallen"
-John Fallenace
Everything in general really. Though, that’d be a lot of text
Tommy gun could go ratatatat for instance, breaking a window could do something
Probably best for this hypothetical mod to be configurable to the users taste
Every walking step gives you text
You cannot escape it
XIII does that
every walking step you accidentally kick an ace card causing it to fall
the goons always leave a mess
this is a nice game
right?
yep i remeber playing it long ago but i wanted to replay it. i forgot the name and like searched for 3day! this game isn't enough advertised and it's so much cool
Glad ya liked it
okay but what ranks would the suits represent?
this game looked promising in the trailers
but then i saw that gameplay was mostly clunky first-person melee combat
instantly killed my interest
oh well
Did you play the demo?
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
there's more than just one on one fights
Yeah, you need to play the game to see how real shit can get
and then you punch it out like some sort of boxing ring match, people don't fight like that
if you're gonna make a fighting system you really should make it look and feel like a real fight
These are mooks in a gang in an alternate 20's, they're not gonna know kung fu. Punching and throwing stuff is the best these guys can do
Wrong channel
my bad sr
tell me you've never been in a fight without telling me you've never been in a fight
What does a “real fight” entail
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
You haven't even played the demo yet
Even if so, FA does a good job at it
watching it is enough mate
You can always give yourself a better understanding by playing it
It's true, game sucks major ass. Main dev is a huge duche.
Good thing he’s dead
hahaha
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?
show em the spin kick boys
I mean you can use guns.
its in first person and you can shoot
ok just saw the spin kick
pretty cool
will there be more moves like that in the final game?
It's not Sifu but it's never marketed towards that audience
You'd do yourself a favor to at least do a run or two of the demo
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
yeah but i wish it was an fps with melee on the side, and not the other way...
There are a couple of different finishers. Will be more in the final game
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
Yeah later levels there will be more guys with tommy guns n such.
Buddy, i've seen The Warriors, and only 2 people in that entire movie had handguns
i see
And the warriors is fucking badass
Yeah we looked at the Warriors a little for inspiration among other things
i must say, the gunshot response animations look satisfying
ah makes sense that i got manhunt 1 vibes from the first bit of the demo then
Yeah guns hurt. Don't get shot
Oh another thing: The full game is gonna have enemies grapple you and try to strangle you
cos manhunt 1 was influenced by the warriors too
Of course you don't have to fight anybody you can just karate chop them and throw their bodies at their friends
yeah that sounds fun
The demo is free and it's like 30 minutes tops
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.
Oh yeah, you can kick enemies back, knocking other enemies in the process
Human bowling
Yeah basically. Enemies right now are a bit basic, but later enemies will have more movesets.
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.
condemned combat is amazing
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
You add that to the game, people will talk about the game for decades to come
It's in the demo. Pipe guys and goons will fake you out so you panic block.
I mean the running away
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.
Only other game that did that was Fear i think, and the wounded enemies limping would be amazing
I think that's something the warriors did. They would crawl away n stuff.
Without their legs 
Wanted fights to feel like Mike is just a maniac
then ya chuck an espresso machine at a goon
bro it's a videogame
I don't think you really understand what the game's about
it's really just a first person brawler that goes in on 50's comic books as an artstyle
and also in gameplay
Mike was a boxer as well
true dat
😳
ayo???????
By the way, will there be more weapons in the final game? I saw rubber duck somewhere...
Of course
It would be fun to see landmines in this game. Throw one somewhere, then landmine.
KABOOM.
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
and this is the point of the game
nah as in melee

we will have to see
im assuming they have durability
same as all the other weapons
from the trailer I could see a stiletto being able to kill a wiseguy with just one swing
yeah
they do but yea
but what's even the point when you can only kill like one dude with it?
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
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
yeah thats understandable
but also you can be killed very easily
so hopefully itll balance out
but we will have to see i guess
a good point, but there are a ton of ways to balance it: durability, speed, rarity, chapter locked etc.
wonder how Trey will balance this all out
I hope so
some might get scrapped, some might be area/chapter locked... There are ways, but it's early to tell
hyped af for this game
same
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
same here
yesss
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
are these supposed to be hud icons?
Yeah, in place of these
They would fill up all the same, I just shaded it to look nice
Bigger badder enemies obv
But also power in numbers obv. One guy ain't nothin, but a horde of gangsters? Forget it
just don't be seen 🧠
also sound ques could be an idea
like different types of footsteps
Yeah we recently added footsteps for enemies
The clap of my booty cheeks ain't gonna let me hide in the shadows
Don’t you mean fuggetaboutet?
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
It's like that right now with enemies. Harder difficulties has more enemy subtypes that have more complex attacks and are more agressive.
this was so long ago now lmao
I got told you can kill downed enemies with paper balls
Yep
Amazing
Yeah kinda makes the paper% run a little less impressive but
i really hope there's more breakable stuff in early access because throwing goons through doors feels fucking fantastic
I think we patched that
Why?
ok this game has grown on me
but it still needs more guns
it's immersion breaking
to have enemies with no guns
don't worry
Malone will be a recurring enemy
also saw some art of a tommy gun guy
and a goon wielding a revolver
Really?
yes
can't find it rn but there were several images showing a man pointing a tommygun at us
somewhere in this channel's history
yes
well actually
he resembles more of a younger pipe wielding mook who took a shower
Huh, wow. That's gonna be a problem in the future
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
they're just the cultist from blood 
Oh fucking hell. I hope at least they give an attention tell to show us they're about to shoot, like Malone does cocking his 45
just hitscan snipers
To be fair, guns are illegal in the city
why don't you enjoy melee combat :(
for real 😦
dude this game is absolutely swell
how much of a himbo will mike be in the regular game]
will he be a snuck or a total wimp
He's pretty himboey I guess
as one is
