That would be shit ngl

#

Scary? Yes
Annoying as hell? Yes

pseudo sedge
#

you dont spam it on every alarm

#

you just put it where it matters

#

once or twice in a whole rundown is enough

#

per rundown

#

Half of these sound kind of awful

#

and yet placed correctly they would be 10x more fun and enjoyable than "shooter but can lick" or "charger but tankier with a tumor in the chest"

upper idol
#

true

#

I do like the Nightmares on e2 tho

pseudo sedge
#

e2 imo fucks up a bit cause the waves of nightmares aren't properly mixed with other enemy types

#

(granted this is without the addition of new cool shit)

#

also for this: you don't even need to have him spawn when the alarm starts, have him spawn 20s later so u have to play around him, listen to his spawn sound

mellow hedge
#

guys, insane ball knowledge if you know, but what about a character that moves like ToyLitFrog from one night at froggers and its basically just "dont get caught"

#

and you just have to run away from him

near stag
#

see the vision tho

pseudo sedge
#

imagine the sec door opens to a zone and u see nothing, literally nothing, all black, as if there is no more level after it, u all jump into it and the level behind u disappears, then randomly the floor appears back out and it's ALL fleshy and gooey like in r8a2 secondary, the floors, the walls, everything is genuinely fucked. Then from the walls enemies start spawning, and u just do ur best to survive while trying to recognize the rooms u are in and how to get out, later u find out that that was your brain screwing with u because of all the trauma u've had to deal with and ur brain slowly becoming incapable of dealing with the horrors in the complex

GTFO honestly is one of the games that has a lot of potential simply because of the possibility to run with anything because of the multi dimensionality. You can genuinely justify horrors that are well above what other games can throw at the player with "this shit had millions of years to evolve into the perfect sentient being killer, good luck"

#

make the virus and parasite a threat not just in the lore, but throw it in the face of the player, make the player understand how dangerous and mental this is

#

not just reference the kill count in lore logs.

near stag
#

wasnt parasite one of the cut enemies?

rose nova
#

yes but i dont think it was nam v per se

#

it was more oof a bug

#

like an insect

remember the thing that was at the end of the first reveal trailer

the Striker tongue parasite

it made the Striker tongue sound but yknow

#

plus the unused enemy sounds like the exploder

r5a2 door 🔥

upper idol
#

we lowkey could've had a cielling hanging enemy like the cielling grabbers of deep rock galactic

#

it would've been a fun environmental hazard for like r2e1

#

or the Kraken fight in e2

rose nova
#

i wish they did the anemones it would seem fun for r2c2 kinds of levels

I wish we had one that covered its weakpoint with "teeth" (bones that grew like teeth) in the center of its body

kinda like the big flyer, but it swaps the side it shows when it hides one side from the players. Then give it some cool options to attack

also potato shouldve spawned nightmare babies than explode instead of attacking imo

pseudo sedge
#

another idea: u just walk into a room, see a dead body pile in the middle of it, with a bunch of dead bodies around the room, u start an alarm, but no wave comes, slowly the dead pile of bodies starts moving, u shit ur pants start shooting it as it starts to run around the room fucking u all up, it even picks up bodies from the room and heals itself, throws dead bodies at u, sometimes starts walking up on the ceiling, gets above a player and then just drops on a player instantly downing them if it hits

#

giant flyer was underused, but I understand why it wasn't used as much

sigh r7e1 reactor meat wall room

rose nova
#

from what i understand a lot of stuff on r8 was made as gtfo kinda knew its strenghts and what they could reutilize while being good- obvs-
but even r8 was finished like hhours before release, and if r7 snatcher came out with the bugs it did, something more complicated would be titanic

#

i compare it always to getting over it, where the narrator says working with a game its like quick dry cement

pseudo sedge
#

r8 was just "hack something together that ends the story"

#

that was it

rose nova
#

u do ur ideas, and at some point the code u do it limits u up until yoou cannot get much more oout of it

upper idol
#

I liked r8 Sue me

rose nova
#

and u either break iit oor work with it

#

maybe there couldve been mmore to r8 yees, i wouoldve liked more dimensional stuff but it wouldve been either crazy to develop new enemies or give so much time for it to be planned and done- moreso with dow in the background

#

the only big regret is the eliminatedd snatcher on kraken in e2 :[

#

wouldve been funny

pseudo sedge
#

the thing u are referencing is called technical and architectural debt, these are concepts in programming which basically ask the question: "how much in the future do u want to design this code for?". Everyone would love to design code that can withstand centuries but realistically... u make an educated guess for how long the code is going to be used and u design it to work until then.

upper idol
#

wait so r8 was finished hours before release

rose nova
pseudo sedge
#

In the case of GTFO imo the codebase they did it on doesn't seem genuinely bad. Yea it has some weird quirks but these are genuienly fixable and the devs "could" have done more had the game had a more general appeal and there was a desire to make this game into something more

rose nova
#

specifically e2 i think

upper idol
#

that's kinda crazy

lost lynx
#

Wasn't E2 made in a couple hours lol

#

I saw someone saying something like that

rose nova
rose nova
#

its beeen a while sinice i seen it and i could be wrong but i remeember them saying r8 was pushed to the limit of their deadline

pseudo sedge
# rose nova i guess u know more about the coding than i do, but i think both dow and gtfo ha...

DoW for 10C is economically a good play, the reality is the way GTFO was marketed and designed it wasn't going to become such a HUGE name for it to be worked on indefinitely (or at least longer than it was so that the content could actually have a "satisfying" end). Tho it had the potential which if realized earlier it could have honestly happened. (Satisfying in the second last sentence I use to mean: you get to that point where you got the feeling that if anything else get added it would just cause a bloated feeling rather than good new additions)

rose nova
#

a closure yes, end it before it becomes minecraft

pseudo sedge
#

honestly minecraft got to that point, the only difference being it's so big the modding community is hard carrying it

#

on the other hand: i've been looking to work on a gamemode for GTFO and one of the main things that piss me off rn is the enemy variety is just so shit I am insanely heavily limited by what I can do

#

even modded enemies just feel like vanilla enemies with better stats (at least most of them)

rose nova
rose nova
#

but ive seen some videos on modded enemies and even said it to some people, i dont get ir

#

like wheres the fun on enemies that 3 projectiles and ur 100% infected like bugged infection chickens ksks

#

maybe its cuz i havent tried them which could be fair, but a lot of the good ideas they seem to have are under those enemies and i dont see it really working as well as it could

#

thats why i love occlusion, cuz despite how simple it might seem what it does is just be what gtfo does best, keep the gameplay similar but spice it via the mechanics, weather reactors, warp gate reactors, a nightmare sequence- they work well

#

and u dont need to mod in crazy enemies to make that work as well as it does

pseudo sedge
#

one of the reason why this happens is making new modded enemies that have interesting new mechanics is genuienly insane. You need to model them, rig them, build everything about them, balance them, then u get to use them in what.... 2-3 levels?

#

in 2-3 sections

#

which means good job, u've spent 1 month of ur life and people are gonna be genuienly freaked out for 2 more minutes of their lives, give u a good review and then move on.

#

A person who is unpaid for this work doesn't afford to put this much work into this

#

so what ends up sticking will probably be either: "change stats and rebalance the game and make goofy looking stuff" or "make use of existing vanilla content by combining the best stuff of vanilla" or "work ur ass off to make new shit for barely any recognition"

#

honestly best example of this would be rundown X

#

i swear that shit is goated

#

and yet barely any people know and play it

rose nova
#

doing new stuff out of the game i feel lile its a different theme, and i dont say 'issue' but 'theme', as i feel like it goes with how much ur willing to do for a game u like regardless of the recognition
like obvs i cannot speak for anyone, but if u mod a game for upwards of a month to do something, ur liking whatever ur doing and its up to u if u wanna keep on doing it

#

at the end its a bit of a creative decision, u can compare it to animation i guess in a way of, do u wanna do storyboards and full on character sheets for a project, or do u wanna do more silly videos and both ways are fine- its a matter of direction

#

and both can be great as long as- of course- they have quality and stuff, which i cannot do examples of in the modding scene but im sure theres a rundown with a lot of reused enemies with different stats that is good and great

#

truth is the game "requires" other people, and it isn't exactly mod-friendly (as you stated, it's incredibly hard to create new content, but it isn't incredibly intuitive to mod the game either)

#

This game should have had some basic workshop implementation for it to has a more lasting effect

#

but I assume that'd be hard to make too

#

As someone profane, my uneducated impression is that this game's structure is jury-rigged and incredibly stiff.

pseudo sedge
#

the purpose of that is to say: the reward, work ratio for a rando person to mod this game and get something out there that is cool is genuienly insane

#

so there is a reason why most of the in game content is just vanilla stuff but slightly different stats

mellow hedge
#

In-game mod support would have helped massively

pseudo sedge
#

honestly releasing their in house editor would have helped massively

split marlin
#

gtfo would never going to become a cult classics

#

its too janked and not terribly interesting

#

its pretty hardcore, but thats about it

#

gameplay loop is incredibly repetitive, and the story is mostly vague nondescript

Most of the times when we loose is when 1 guy dies and we loose quarter of our fire power and then we get wiped

Which happens at the end when we get jumped by giant waves on C2

Or whatever happens at the end I genuinely have no idea

They just fuckin appear

pseudo sedge
# gaunt nacelle oh boy have you seen nothing

i was thinking of making a mod that adds this balance change: when u use AR, each shot marks an enemy, if the 2nd shot hits a marked enemy you "detonate" that mark dealing 5 extra damage (no mark is added if a mark was detonated). And funnily enough this would be technically balanced when compared to sawed off and hel shotty

#

9.4 dmg every 2 shots, means u beat sawed off efficiency by quite a bit but are still heavily behind hel shotty without pen

If the devs won't make difficulty scaling then people will find some rtrded ways ig

So true but I’m gonna touch you

runic anvil

#

I’m just trying to be semi optimistic

#

96% would be an insane number

gaunt nacelle
#

Yea and it’s kinda obviously untrue

naive rover
#

Right lol

naive rover
#

I think I talked about this with you and Pablo once.

gaunt nacelle
#

But I’ve heard stats that 1/4 of people who buy the game sticks around which sounds more plausible than 4%

naive rover
#

1/4th I could see

gaunt nacelle
#

I think I’ve seen Eva throw that number around

naive rover
#

I mean, there’s like 12 of you that actively still use the discord and maybe 30-40 that are in the VC’s lol

rose mason
#

I mean, if the % on the achievements are correct, then 25% makes sense

gaunt nacelle
#

It’s deflated

naive rover
#

Yeah cause it doesn’t account for OG conpletions

#

How many people are there that completed OG rundowns that never continued on to Alt’s?

#

Like who knows?

gaunt nacelle
#

Even if someone beat the game or got super far before achievements were introduced their stuff like kill scout without it waking wouldn’t be counting

naive rover
#

Yep

rose mason
naive rover
#

?

gaunt nacelle
#

Or well depends how they implement it

rose mason
gaunt nacelle
#

They could check if it’s been done

#

But I have also heard of tools which gives you achievements for free

rose mason
gaunt nacelle
#

Yep

rose mason
#

but it is interesting to see that after the achievements were implemented, not even 10% of the people have killed a scout without waking it up

#

and when I show beginners around, I always let them kill a scout even tho they mess up at the beginning

gaunt nacelle
#

The game is out of its prime but it does also seem slightly bugged?

#

Meh idk might be true

#

Because it’s essentially new scout kills/entire playerbase

I think shooting would also count? Idk

next time 🗣️ maybe 👏 watch a hani guide 📖😉. actually 🗣️ try beating r4e1 duo 👫⚔️ (and no, your 2-hour clears 🕑🚫 don’t count lmao 🤡). and while you’re at it, stop 🗣️ seeding 🌱 your e2 clears 😂. everybody knows that level’s free 🗺️💡 once you’re not faking it 🧠. 👩‍🦯‍➡️ let me show you how it’s done step by step 👶.

I particularly like the mechanics of R5c3, but I think this map is exaggeratedly large.

pseudo sedge
#

u can barely full send

hasty bobcat
#

i always knew r5c3 is terrible

graceful geode
#

it was also a terrible introduction to double uplink (or corrupted uplinks, whatever you want to call them) back when it came out

#

A 100% new mechanic you had to go through what, 4 alarms, scouts, cscouts and very little ammo?

#

Bha

modern verge
#

my introduction to double uplinks myself was R7C3

#

when doing it on PE

#

nobody who did it knew it was a double uplink

#

admittedly not the worst introduction? since there was a checkpoint right before

alpine scaffold
#

What is worse
R5c3 as the first double uplink
R2d2 as the first reactor with code hunting

lost lynx
#

R5D1

pseudo sedge
rose nova
#

c3 uplinks take a while more to get there, and are on complicated tiles

#

and if u misunderstand it u need to recover a fuck ton of time, resources and momentum

split marlin
#

r8e2 as your first e tier

alpine scaffold
#

Is r5b3 the first "room scan"?

hasty bobcat
#

I think so

#

c2 does it better even tho it's still not quite it

mystic moss
#

you gotta play og pre nerf r5c2 scan

#

play logless then

gaunt nacelle
#

Logless sounds even worse ngl 🥀

mellow hedge
#

it is

#

logless on that level is horrible

pure belfry
#

My offer for speedrunning R5A1 Sec remains open

burnt flume
#

it may be cool if there was a middle ground between logless and every spawn on the map that told you where keys and some other stuff were but still left mystery all around, would be cooler if that was ran for years until a lot of stuff happened semi-recently

#

point being that the longstanding standard has been completely forced out and new shit imposed on top which dramatically changes how the runs are played

mellow hedge
#

wrong

burnt flume
#

yeah yeah whatever

#

good thing i have work to return to isn't it, much more pleasant

mellow hedge
#

im actually having a lot of fun speedrunning

gaunt nacelle
#

If*

pure belfry
#

i hope

pseudo sedge
#

it's so fun going for 10 boxes on route and nothing is ammo so we just die

gaunt nacelle
#

Average speed moment

pseudo sedge
#

literally grabbing every box on route and we still die because unlucky, one of the 2 ammos that we needed spawned in a room that is not on path

mellow hedge
#

unlike keys, if you dont get res you CANT win

mellow hedge
gaunt nacelle
mellow hedge
#

yes

gaunt nacelle
#

Cuz idk how to correlate the number

#

To the spawn

#

Only crating maps

mellow hedge
#

the number in log will correlate to one box, so you just check which box the osip is in then write down the index

#

so you have to map the boxes first, THEN you do the seeds

gaunt nacelle
#

I thought they didn’t exist in logs?

mellow hedge
#

they do

#

itll be a long string of numbers

gaunt nacelle
#

Pain 😭

#

Might do it

mellow hedge
#

like r8b3 sec zone 33 a is
0 = 1009558016
1 = 863891456
2 = 1840989824
3 = 651540160
4 = 56161304
5 = 1001011840

#

it takes ages

#

r6d4 took me 4 hours

#

you only map actually feasible spawns

gaunt nacelle
#

Isn’t there a way to automate this?

#

Idk I might map but I feel like hours for one level like four people will run is bleh

pseudo sedge
gaunt nacelle
#

Unfort

mellow hedge
#

actually tgb probably there is

#

if something showed the index and the seed number

#

you could just drop until they load

gaunt nacelle
mellow hedge
#

instead of manually checking boxes

pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
#

cause wesleys dll shows the box number like locker_843, and the log file has the same box number next to the seed

at this point kinda

#

you know where everything is anyways

mystic moss
#

hiii tofu

mellow hedge
tall hawk
#

surely you explain why you think it's not

mystic moss
#

seeded is clearly not the same as logs

#

logs doesn't tell you where the room enemies spawn

junior latch
# tall hawk surely you explain why you think it's not

the biggest difference from knowledge aside (which theres still a bunch of things that impact what youd do that arent known) is that you get 1 attempt to run the level with whatever seed you got

As tutorial is the closest to seeded (only having changed position on res and orientation on enemies lol), its a decent showcase for how seeded would look vs how runs are now

mellow hedge
#

the start of my e2 solo runs became boring af because it was literally just the same shit over and over

#

im not gonna argue shit im so fucking sick of it

split marlin

hoary crescent

tell that to my solo r3d1 runs

pure belfry

tell that to R8C2 Z277

frozen olive
#

can you guys stop making up levels i only play e tiers

mellow hedge
gaunt nacelle
mellow hedge
frozen olive
#

my new logger will tell you the exact sequence of inputs to get wr

mellow hedge
#

the new logger is just ai that tells you the lines for a script which plays the level for you

sullen finch
#

new logger seeds a perfect run and then does a TAS for you

mellow hedge
#

i was actually gonna do a tutorial TAS

frozen olive
#

TAS for this game would be fun to see

junior latch
#

tutorial tas is already lots of work and thats basically seeded

mellow hedge
#

enemy ai variation makes TASing cooked

burnt flume
#

oh i missed a bunch of the stuff, ah well

#

fact of the matter is that the gap between logs for keys/objective room (HSU/uplink)/gather items and seed indexing for every relevant spawn is just as large, if not larger, than the gap from logless to logs

#

it dramatically changes how the game plays

#

and ostensibly there's no way to figure out such stuff from reading the log whereas 36_Area = Room A and 35_Area = Room B is something you could pick up on in vivo with the text reference from logs

#

and the difference the knowledge makes in the runs should qualify it to be marked separately on the leaderboards, imo

#

i don't know if it'd be wanted or in the spirit of the game to know, if that's an argument in the first place, and i don't believe the devs would have ever changed logs so it's all discernible with the naked eye, nor was there any push from anyone to do such a thjng

frozen olive
#

im not very involved with the speedrunning scene but i dont see why it hasnt been divided into seeded/logs/logless

mellow hedge
#

There is no seeded caregory, and logless and logs are seperate now

burnt flume
#

because "seeded" doesn't exist yet

#

its "seed indexing" which is reading the game in a way you couldn't feasibly do by hand which tells you near enough everything you want to know if it's been set up

frozen olive
#

oh im stupid i read that wrong

burnt flume
#

which is taken as being the same as "logs"

#

but you can absolutely not do the same with a log file in vivo as you can with a seed indexer

mellow hedge
#

Obviously not, but you are just drawing an arbitrary line

#

What about things like osips?

#

Why is the line not drawn there?

#

Literally all the logs give you is a seed number for the collectible

burnt flume
#

which consistently correlates to a box, yes?

#

all they give you for the the uplink room is a number

#

hsu, just a number

#

key box, just a number

#

unless i'm missing something

mellow hedge
#

And in a session seed which you get from the logs, a certain part of that seed consistently correlates to the same thing

#

This is how wesley originally did seedindexer

#

You find out what part of the seed does what, and you can consistently know res spawns, heavy pickups, etc

#

Lemme find i simplified image rq that kenny showed me

#

actually idek if this is simplified

gaunt nacelle
#

this is kinda how i imagined it

mellow hedge
#

I dont think any of this warrants insults, attacks and accusations though don't you think?

unreal crystal
#

what about lying

mellow hedge
#

About what?

burnt flume
#

ah well, if i may be selfish again, in gameplay i care about "monkey see" and "monkey do", once you get to "monkey spreadsheet" you lose me

mellow hedge
#

That is why we have split the categories, which is what was requested at the start and what the issue was in the first place

#

Of which i was a huge advocate for

gaunt nacelle
mellow hedge
#

And anyone who has ran r6a1 solo knows how actually horrible rolling for ammo is and is very glad the massive rng has been reduced

#

We started writing down seeds on spreadsheets because it was so bad

you shouldn't be in the fog zone during the giant wave tbh

or they loot 114 ids after all the blood doors 116/118(?) have been done

can i take the bio tracker please im colourblind

do u do 119 at all? it's the zone in the beginning with a blood door and requires a key to access

What we do is at start

pine root

It is a safe zone to do

pastel sky
#

We just list all ids

#

And see where they are

And then try do the zones we get the most ids

#

Like try get as least amount of new zones to get to 7 ids and just leave

oh ok sounds like u just need to lock in for one clear then

take only the minimum amount of id from the fog zone

#

use terminal to see which zone you have to go in

#

if youre playing quad its pretty easy to defend the guy on terminal

youll have to just get a bit good with knife

and ending giant spam is just 2 mines and a large door

Memorize the whole fog maze part

i already know the tile since its a common one

but i just walk literally in grid

#

the entire room

#

we did it after getting disinfected and resupply from the zone beyond tho

#

and checking how many id we need to grab

pure belfry
#

I don’t even check Z114 as I get there, I just book it to Z115, disinfect, and use the terminal there and get res from Z116/Z117, much safer than staying in Z114

split marlin
#

i assumed thats how everyone does it

pure belfry
#

I hope so; it’s the general best way to do it

It was a huge wall for my main playgroup when we got there initially

#

Stalling the alarm to 115 isn’t a bad idea tbf

its class two

you just shut the door and do the scan before booking it up the fog

Like not super bad ig

pure belfry

Did you forgor our Class II incident

gaunt nacelle
#

Probably

pure belfry
#

The Class II on the way to Z115 can be pretty tame most times but it is capable of multi-level scans similar to the first class III and it wastes significantly more time even if you had shut the doors and mined em

is there even a term in the res zone
