Ultrakill as a version of the Harrowing of Hell
liberating the souls of the damned by giving them true rest
mighty narwhal
i continue to think that at least some machines are dying and going to hell. take as a specific example layer 7, specifically the machines introduced there. guttermen (and guttertanks, presumably) date back to what i believe is implied to be ww1 - given v1's last firmware update was in 2112, few if any are likely to have survived. as for the earthmovers, i assume they'd be too big to get down the long way
honest cairn
hell probably swallowed them from the surface, at least the Earthmovers
shy musk
Remind me is there an explanation for enemies teleporting in?
leaden wren
Probably Hell
spark cradle
Hell yes
If i recall correctly, the panopticon arg text established that hell has learned human technology, and a enemy entry/book notes something Else has been teleporting things in
and I believe Hakita mentioned that people should think about why the doors lock and "laugh" before enemies appear
but it's been a while since i reviewed the lore
uncut trout

Also I need tips on the alt shotgun cause my muscle memory with the damn thing just makes me not happy
sinful badger
I run alt shotgun on the chainsaw slot; main use is instakilling maurice (whiplash into them, cancel the whiplash with a punch so you hit harder, smack them with the blunt end)
you can also deal buttloads of damage by just incorporating more bunnyhopping and little slam storages into your movement to get speed
you can also bonk mines with it which is tasty
uncut trout
yeah whiplash cancelling is the easiest way to get those big hits, i think using it similarly to the railgun in a way is a good way to think about it
it's a big hit of damage that'll kill most things if you hit em but has a cooldown
sinful badger
core eject alt shotgun is where all the juicy tech is
since alt shotgun turns explosive projectiles into hitscans, so you can do coin shenanigans
honest cairn
can't you do that with the red railcannon?
sharp pewter
Yeah but then your railcanon is down

sacred gale
I thought they were just female in general
spark cradle
that's one way to interpret it, i just personally thought the idea of Making your own cherished body and such being a little similar to trans stories
sacred gale
Good point
Mind Flayers ARE just the mechanical parts. The body is just made by them.
I presumed they'd wear the chassis of the body they'd best identify as, seeing as they were just machines with no specific set gender
sacred gale
Would that count as them being trans?
They don't START as the gender they appear as, they instead choose the one that they feel they are.
spark cradle
Would that count as them being trans?
i interpret them that way, I'm not going to say it's the definitive right interpretation though
sacred gale
Yeah thats fair. Nothing in the lore really says so.
But we are allowed to have opinions on it
spark cradle
mhm
part of why i like ultrakill lore (and fromsoft game lore) is the subtlety
explicit canon is scarce and a lot of it is unsaid, but there's just enough to put the pieces together
though it may be an unintentional byproduct of how they handle writing, i still think it's wonderfully done
uncut trout
Would that count as them being trans?
thereās also a blahaj in a secret level so iām inclined to say them being trans was the intention

errr depending on what you get frustrated by?
generally i don't think the game breaks rules, if you get surprised it tends to be because new mechanics/content are added rather than things break established rules
kindred hamlet
How frustrating is this game?
not as much, you just gotta invite yourself to try new tech every now and then
like spamming the default pistol when you already have two or three other weapons won't be as fun as trying to quick swap and do combos while buzzing around the place
round cobalt
There are a couple of bosses that will probably be decently hard on your first playthrough, maybe even very hard. I know one stumped me for a long time and I ended up mostly cheesing them. However, then you get past them, and then if you play for p-ranks you'll be able to come back and smash those bosses with your improved skills, which is very satisfying.
Playing for p-ranks, that being playing for perfect mission completion (all kills, no deaths, lots of style) can be frustrating in a couple of cases, but I find it very fun once you get a mission down (except for God Damn the Sun, god damn that level). Then there are some levels locked behind p-ranking everything, and those are hard as hell.
livid vale
to the last point, to paraphrase a youtube content creator i don't want to promote but has fun lines: P ranking all the requisite stages is not a requirement, but a warning for what's to come after you unlock the secret levels

As someone that is, despite THE GAY AGENDA's best efforts, is still straight and very much into Ultrakill, I would make the brave statement that Ultrakill isn't "For the gays", but rather "For the attention-deficit", of there are definitely a lot of gays.
I would say the deep association with the gays of Ultrakill is SurvivorShipping-bias in effect. Those who ship are those who are down bad and since there's only one major character, Gabriel, who is definitely gay (so gay very the gay), you only have so much to ship with.
iron stream
maiden marsh
as another straight person, I get you, however Gabriel and V1 have something crazy going on
that's not just survivorshipping, my man Gabe is giggling after their near-death duel and discovering things he never knew about himself
velvet prawn
I've basically just said that if the story didn't focus on Gabriel it wouldn't be as "for the gays", but that's a nothing statement, really.
I will say, and this was where my thought originally laid, that by having a smaller stable of characters, and fewer personable ones, fanworks can only work with so much. Hence the Survivor Shipping-bias.
I am gonna drop this so I don't reiterate myself forever. Thanks for listening to my UnTed Talk.

But is there any new playable content in this update?!
Indeed there is! Two Encore levels!
Encore levels, which you may previously thought of as mere replayable levels with radiant enemies... are now so much more.They don't look anything like the levels they're based on, they don't play anything like the levels they're based on, and they're about 10x harder than the levels they're based on.
GOOD LUCK. (They only unlock once you beat all the base levels available the game)And since you have been so patient waiting for this REVAMP, Hakita has decided to release these two Encore levels for you! (which he had time to work on while the programming team was working on their rewrites)
The rest of the Encore levels will be released as a post launch update (free of course) so look forward to that. Or don't because they're insanely hard. Harder than any level in the base game. Because that's the point of them. You've been warned.
i wonder if by "any level" they includ P-2

Does anyone have a strat for the floor is lava encounter of 1-E, its our number ...
||rocket ride over to where the far one spawns, slam jackhammer it (you dont have to full impact) to chunk it, if you run 2 jackhammers like I do you can do it again - that plus a single parry/kb punch should kill it on violent||
||you can repeat on the closer one, and once you've got at least the far one dead you're good, since you generally have enough time to kill the close one & get around the wall corner to dodge the far sentry||
||(and a single coin can disrupt whichever sentry you're closer to anyway, even if your chargebacks (like me) are not consistent)||
||broadly, ive found that even a single strong jackhammer hit really works well on guttermen - shield break + high burst damage is just a good setup, since kb breaking can knock you back (and you don't have a lot of good places to be knocked back to in that room)||

I'm not the greatest aerial combatant in this game so when I'm getting thrown down (and when there's no kick back out) it's just GGs
tiny pelican
ah, yeah, that makes sense. especially in the final part w/ the two cerbs
wispy lintel
It's not enemies but the tunnel itself to fuck me over. If I panic for butter a moment, it's just joever
I think I got in blood tunnel total of like 10ish times, died in there about 7, died 2 in the mass room, and died once to Sissy xD
Most grind was the hectic fights with two mindflayers - damage is batshit, so one missed attack can cost us everything
But yeah, frankly speaking, chainsaw trap, scredriver, alt jumpstarter and red rocket was enough
I think fight wiyh Sysiphus took like 30 seconds
Who could've thought that training I got while slamming my forehead on P-2 will actually pay off and make me refine the gameplay, eh?
I remember how even cerb\ferryman room seemed absolutely fkn impossible, and now I'm able to somewhat consistently instakill all five of them
wispy lintel
Actually, the most stressful part was that I don't know the style requires for P-ranking... and when I entered Sysiphus fight, I was still on A there.
It would've sucked so much to get booted due to low style >.>

I dunno if it's been changed but the monster battling just wasn't enjoyable

And like. Yeah, I dunno, I just wish them fighting was a little more interesting, I guess

That's valid
bleak phoenix
I took "it's pokemon with guns" too seriously and ended up being deeply disappointed by the lack of actual pal battle mechanics
shy musk
I've admittedly avoided Palworld content to not get too wishful (can't run it) but that definitely sounds like it'd rub odd
bleak phoenix
So that's... what, 30 bucks wasted for a total of maybe 10 hours of novelty?
Imo it doesn't really have enough merit to stand on its own as a game
Maybe it's changed with the new updates
So... I'll have to play it again before I completely write it off
shy musk
Sound idea
...if secret levels are meant to be chill (the prologue's aside (ok that's spooky chill maybe)) I feel like a Palworld secret level would be part cooking sim

||after like 20 attempts i settled on just lighting him on fire w/ firestarter RL, and then using nailgun for the rest of it, with the occasional railgun shot when it was off cooldown. but the thing below the hp bar seemed to be an invulnerability phase thing? or maybe a stagger bar? i'm not 100% sure, he did a stagger thing ONCE for me but never again. but he's definitely got some invuln phase or just invuln armor like minotaur?||
also, minorly surprised that layer 8 didn't add ||the 4th arm, the gold one. i guess it'll be 9-1 then? the codex entry for powers (gabriel lites) explicitly mentions they have a "useless gold arm", so my best guess is that it'll come from a proper miniboss fight with them? but i mean you kill like 4-5 in layer 8 already so i'm not sure how that'll work. and i'm pretty sure V2 is cooked atp so there's no 2nd rematch there.||

ooh yeah i bet
ouch :(
iron stream
probably just needs an update for the entity culling algorithm or smth
bc damn that's a lot of rendering
tiny pelican
yeahh. not really 100% sure what the best fix for that is. maybe just a setting for only rendering like ||3 layers deep? or something? i'm not sure how you'd handle that, since its also possibly to rocket ride/movement tech and go through 'the transitions' repeatedly||
tiny pelican
dunno. i wouldn't be surprised if this is the layer that receives the most fixes/changes
iron stream
absolutely
tiny pelican
for a mix of:
- optimizations, if/where possible
- clipping issues. there's a lot of places with gravity flips that probably need thicker walls of some kind. it's super easy to clip out of bounds by just dashing while gravity flips, which i kept doing accidentally in a couple arenas
- maybe, possibly, 1-2 more signs indicating intended path through the level
