Hi guys

I just wanted to say something here about dusk, namely that from a preview video I have seem it looks amazing!!

Color me surprised when I heard the developer name. I thought hey that sounds extremely familiar and yes is was indeed the same guy who made little but very cool indie games like The Moon Sliver and Fingerbones! But instead of a small, atmospheric story driven game, it's this time a old school fps that from the looks of it actually looks like it's getting what is fun about old fps! A thing most indie games promised but completely missunderstood.

What's even cooler is that he is or used to be regular on this forum as well!!! (I am not putting in more info because he might not like that, I just don't know)

So if he is still around: the game looks amazing! Good job and I am very interested in it. Do you have any info about price, release and the episode structure?

This "Dusk"?:

Most badass sounding OST (courtesy of Andrew Hushult) I've heard in a while too:

I believe they said they also want to have it out on gog too, if possible. Definitely looking forward to that.

YES that dusk :D

The game's old-skool FPS graphics looked somewhat familiar, so was this the forum-dweller who asked here for input how his FPS game engine looks?

It is kinda amazing if it became a real game after all. Back then I somehow thought it is just a hobbyist project that will be dropped at some point (at least that would have probably happened if it had been my project), but glad he pulled it through to the goal (if it was the same person/game).

You're talking about Jefequeso and he most definitely doesn't mind that people know that's his nickname, especially considering that he's using it on his games' discussion boards on Steam. Indeed, I haven't seen him around the GOG forums in a while but I guess it's just because he's super busy working on Dusk. Creating a game like that entirely on your own is quite an endeavour. Admittedly I'm not sure if he's not getting some external support at this point. I only know that someone else is doing the music. I don't think so, Jefequeso is not a programmer and he didn't write his own engine for Dusk.

he is getting some support of some kind from "New Blood Interactive" which is headed up by former interceptor PR manager by the name of Dave Oshry following that companies becoming "3D Realms" (a legacy Interceptor does not deserve) (Dave is a legit good guy, only part of Interceptor I liked).

Yeah I know, but I was talking about people actually working on the game itself.

This is great news to all of those folks who got massively disappointed by STRAFE (I'm not one of them, but I understand the overall sentiment; perhaps next time don't get hyped only because of a trailer, and notice how the developers never hid the game would be a roguelite with random generation?).

Sadly, I look at this footage and though I love the engine and the gameplay, the art direction is really subpar... enemies and -- especially -- guns look bland and downright ugly and badly designed. I mean... yeah, it's cool emulating old games, but old graphics alone mean nothing if your art direction is crap.

Best of luck with the game, though; I do hope it gets on GOG, since it would probably make a lot of old-school FPS fans happy, and that's always a good thing.

If this game will be rejected by Gog , i will be very angry .

Me too.

I know wishlists aren't the key to getting a game here, but it doesn't hurt to vote.

Wishlist: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/dusk

I actually kinda like how it looks but I agree about the guns, they look very weird (and not in a good way). That being said all I really care about is how it play and how the maps are, and from what I have seen that looks great!

Me three. I've been keeping an eye on it for quite awhile now and it actually looks the closest to capturing the look, design and feel of Quake 1, Blood and the like of the newer fps games i've seen. This MUST come to gog. If gog staff are reading, GET THIS GAME ON YOUR STORE.

Posting the wishlist link again for good measure: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/dusk

Alright, I'll vote for this game ASAP !

That's the guy I was talking about, I just remembered wrong he'd be doing his own game engine (probably I was just assuming so).

This is the discussion I was referring to:

and this is the gameplay video that I remembered seeing and felt familiar when seeing that new video:

If this happens I'll raise Cthulhu out of his sleep.
