DUSK - an actually-authentic retro shooter wtf

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Am I fighting the KKK in this game?

Not explicitly so, no. What you are fighting against is essentially a demonic cult.

I think Ms. Rand and my character Oscar the Grouch would have a lot to talk about actually. I am laughing out loud at this idea.

AYN RAND
Why would I want to talk to him. What has he achieved or trying to achieve.

JIM HENSON
He has achieved what I think is the ultimate goal of your way of thinking.

I do not get it.

Oscar the Grouch is extremely grouchy.

Ayn Rand is known as one of the most inward-thinking thinkers in modern history. She is one of the people who made the whole concept of "if it doesn't affect me, it doesn't matter" as popular as it is today - her novel, Atlas Shrugged, is often cited in politics for this very idea. This ideology is extremely unpopular with leftists and I don't think I need to get into why - it's really not worth a debate on this forum about it, especially that we don't condone political discussion here. Needless to say, she seems like the kind of type to be really grouchy.

I would suggest, if you are still confused, that you ask about it in a politics forum. There are sure to be some people who can provide you with some illuminating responses - hopefully, if you're lucky, from both sides.

And here I thought it was a joke about how Oscar lives in a trash can. =/

And that actually kinda goes right along the lines of what I was saying about Rand. >_>

[Scripten]

Thanks guys. I just spooked my officemate by snorting out loud.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

I am familiar with those two. What I do not get is what they have to do with DUSK.

KKK:Dusk baddies:demonic cult
::
Rand:Oscar:garbage can

[JohnnyTheWolf]

I still do not get it. Whatever.

[Trance]

Me neither. Can you connect the dots a bit more, Vaecrius?

[Amuscaria]

I'm assuming he means the cult-like behavior of people that subscribe to the Ayn Rand philosophy, like those in the Ayn Rand Institute, and they're evil something-something. But I'm not sure either.

[wildweasel]

Did anybody else want to talk about the game? =/

[Matt]

The ultimate goal of the sort of society the Klan wants is demonic.

Does the game run natively on Linux?

[AlphaSoraKun]

Based on what I've played of it, it's so far impressive for a game built by one guy.

Pros:
-Reminds me of my favorite games like BLOOD, Heretic, Redneck Rampage, Doom and Quake
-Models are fluid
-Voice acting is decent
-The physics work as intended

Cons:
-None that I can think of

And this is just my thoughts!

Have been watching playthroughs of the first episode a-lot. With the impending release incoming very soon (Halloween), is it still too soon to gather a group effort and create a faithful TC to this game for GZDoom yet?

[Arctangent]

Why?
