I can't judge the hairy shambler adherents because I thought imps were hairy. Was confused when I read the DOOM novels since it describes their skin as reptilian.

It was advertised as a retro game that was a shooter. When it came out, it was a mess of a game that its best played like Painkiller with terrible shooting mechanics. The devs seemed to have wanted to ignore the criticism that it felt bad to play, so they made it sound as though the only criticism that they received was that any bad reviews were from dumb babies that thought it wouldn't have procgen/Roguelite, when in fact very few people were upset about that. They later did one of those "Redux" editions that plays slightly less like rear end but it's still not a good game.

drat, thanks for the warning. I'll keep looking I guess.

Finally bought Amid Evil/Dusk. Dusk is great fun yet super fugly, but what I really want to know what the gently caress is going on with that 5gig install size. AE got refunded due to proton issues, shame.

imps have smooth skin and assholes

Shamblers are beings whose skin has been forced to stretch over a larger than normal bone frame

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


the shambler is covered in pallid, decaying flesh

almost all the quake monsters are based on monsters from sandy peterson's call of cthulhu monsters guide



that's the spawn on the cover

here's the shambler from that book, a little more beige and with eyes than the in-game shambler, but clearly the inspiration



here's the official action figure which came out in the 90s



i rest my case

I will always claim Shambler is furry, not because I actually believe it, but rather because it always restarts the debate, which is one of the funniest loving video game minutiae arguments of all time.

I'm trying to judge the color palette:

Color filtering ON+ Dithering ON



Color filtering ON+ Dithering OFF



Color filtering OFF+ Dithering ON


Color filtering OFF+ Dithering OFF

It's a good first level, the theme isn't very strong but it's a good start, with some secrets, a few paths to choose, etc. I liked the weapons, although some cultists bugged out and doesn't seem they could move fro their spot.

I don't know if it is a good thing or not (most likely good) but it's been so long since I've been waiting for a AAA fps release, meanwhile there are a bunch of indie retro shooters that I'm loving hyped with like Selaco, Fallen Aces, HROT, Prodeus and Wrath.

Dusk, Amid Evil, Project Warlock, Post Void, Hedon... are some of the wave that are killing it. I love this "boomer shooter" trend.

Just wait, dusk becomes really cool to look at in later episodes.

It has tons of unique textures and stuff, and the levels are big meshes iirc, which means it's not well optimized for disk space. Also I believe the sound was huge originally (and took ages to load) but i think they fixed that a while back.

IIRC the issue was not that the sound was physically large, but that the game pre-loaded every single song in the game during the startup sequence because David Szymanski is, by his own admission, not very good at programming. This was changed to something saner back in October as part of the work to optimize the Switch version that I'm sure is coming any day now.

Is, uh, is this deliberately targeting a sub-30 frame rate? Or did they hit that by accident and then go, yeah, this is good, let's send this to the expo?

e: I mean it looks like it's aping Perfect Dark, so there's a non-zero chance here that they decided they wanted N64 frame rates to make it ~~authentic~~

Ah, well, that's a shame. Hope they get it ironed out.

I went with the default settings and to be honest I probably should have switched some stuff off because it was riding the line of unreadability for me.

Game seems good, if I've got a critique it'd be that the lever-action wasn't really justifying itself (should I have been using it for long range?) and the pickups are all these indistinguishable amorphous orange blobs.

Cultic is really cool. Love the interactivity in the environments.

However, the lack of weapon switch buttons is bizarre. I do not like the weapon wheel, especially since it keeps the mouse inversion (and my brain likes inversion in game but not for cursor interaction).
