Amid Evil

Episode 4 First Look

Warriors! The Solar Solstice approaches with the fury of a thousand suns


(or something)

Fresh from PAX East we've got your first look at Episode 4 (The Solar Solstice) thanks to our friends at EVGA . Ep. 4 will be another 4 level episode that features BRIGHT new locales, DARK new enemies and DANK new lore. (kinda)

Check it out!
https://youtu.be/MR7Bbsb01S0 You know what else made it to PAX? The Axe of the Black Labyrinth! Yes, the REAL axe. Well, it's a prop made by Volpin Props but it's still pretty sweet, eh?




First things fourth: Episode 4 will feature NEW enemies such as:

Voidy dancers:

Shieldy bois:

and Sol Butchahs:


These enemies will exhibit all new behaviors like blocking, reflecting, throwing spears, ground pounding and of course, eating solar flares and spitting them back out at you.


The gang's all here and waiting for ya m8


The Solar Solstice begins at sunrise... (naturally)

Then takes you through The Bright Pass

Into The Sol Temple


Through to the watery Illumation Complex


up the winding Tower of Light...



and then finally you shall come upon the Solar Sanctuary - where the Solar Saint awaits...


But wait - what would a DUSK or AMID EVIL update be without some NEW Andrew Hulshult to go with it?!

BEHOLD

Episode 4: The Solar Solstice will (of course) come as a FREE update to anyone who already owns AMID EVIL - so what are you waiting for, warriors?!

AMID Update #3

Warriors! We've just released the third update for AMID EVIL!

Changes include...



  • An upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.19 (we didn't break anything!)
  • Flight mode less slippery (like an eagle)
  • Insta death torches fixed (sorry)
  • Apostle's Shrine lift bug fixed (no squish)
  • Weapon switch while firing is now a thing (you're welcome)
  • Getting out of water is now easier (you're very welcome)
  • Hordes of Evil end score now front and center (haha u ded)
  • New water death for Azure Orb overkill (they'll float too)
  • Flying enemy AI won't get in your face (t'was broken)
  • More souls required for Hard and Evil, less souls required for Easy (good balance)
  • Holding fire won't activate soul mode 'til your next fire (no more accidents!)

The quality of life improvements such as the soul changes, new flying AI and NOT being able to accidentally trigger soul mode (it happens to thhe best of us) really change the way the game feels at its core - we think you'll dig it!

But we couldn't keep improving and tweaking AMID EVIL without your feedback so...

KEEP. IT. COMING.

Until next time, warriors...

  • Weapon fire and impact sound improvements (BEEFIER)
  • Smooth camera movement on stairs (smoooth)
  • Trails for enemies falling into black holes (looks real cool)
  • New animation for enemies falling into black holes (also looks cool)
  • Enemies no longer get lost (nice)
  • Fixed not going to next episode after dying in gateway bug (whoops)
  • Can't get stuck inside lifts (yay)
  • New Load screen tips (useful!)
  • Cheat codex fixed (people still won't read it)
  • New cheat: AEXTREME - Actually makes weapons fire fast
  • AEROBICS changed to AELYMPICS
  • New cheat: AEBABY - Soul mode toggle (infinite duration)
  • New cheat: AEMEMES - memes (memes)
  • Other misc bugfixes (memes)

But wait - we've also added the much requested...

COLOUR THEORY SLIDER!



https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/976593013886472192

So now those of you who thought AMID EVIL was a bit TOO COLOURFUL or just want to mess around and play AE in Black & White... you can!



There's also a whole bunch of fun cheats you can use to mess with the way AMID EVIL looks so... use em! (they're in the Codex)


(don't do this please)

In addition to all this is WARRIOR MODE which (much like DUSK's INTRUDER MODE) will have you start each level with ONLY the Axe of the Black Labyrinth. (Like a true warrior!)



YOU'RE WELCOME.

AMID Update #1

Warriors! We've just released the first update for AMID EVIL!

Changes include...



  • New Planets for the Celestial Claw
  • Planets randomize a lot nicer now, you won't get the same planet twice.
  • Earth shows up less frequently, so you can commit genocide LESS.
  • Voltride casts Chain Lightning on overkill now. (also a cool Steely Dan song)
  • Frame cap slider can now go to UNLIMITED (power!!!!)
  • Weapon keys can be rebound.
  • Reset to default should actually do something.
  • Can change HUD message size in HUD options.
  • Mana numbers on the HUD gotta go fast now instead of slow
  • Asynchronous saving added so speedrunners won't get angry at me. (no hitches on saving).
  • Axe does 5 MORE DAMAGE, yay. (this will actually 1 shot many enemies)
  • Sword projectile does more damage on direct hit. Pass thru damage is the same.
  • Some enemies will enter their pain state (flinch) more often.
  • Achievements should activate when you get level awards.


Oh and the Axe of the Black Labyrinth now ACTUALLY works as a boat propeller

YOU'RE WELCOME.
