General Xen Chit-Chat Thread

I’m interested in seeing the “beneathacle” I mean how will it work if it’s underwater does it pull u under, does it try to eat you like a barnacle, and what color is it? is it brown like the barnacle or is it blue or green to go along with the aquatic life?

this is its texture, but we dont have a model yet for it, it looks as if the tongue will float up and it will drag you underwater to its jaws

Man I love the variants of already established enemies. sort of like frogs and toads, similar but different. Glad it’s a different tone of color from the barnacle. Similar to how the hoteyes are red and houndeyes are green. Looking forward to seeing this in action. I’m also looking forward to the fight with the Gonarch.

If i understand correctly, the full Xen experience will be availabe in a few months or something right? So i’m curious, if i play up to the third part of the Xen chapter, will the save still work if the game updates in the remaining parts of Xen?

No, your save will not work.

I finally installed the beta and started playing it while my youngest watched. Every time I didnt do something he thought should have been done, he kept saying “let me try!” and I was like “no way man, I wanna play.”

Finally at a certain point I handed it over and told him to go ahead and play the rest. Within 2 minutes he reached the message “this ends the beta release” (or whatever that message is.) My kid gave me the glare of a lifetime. HAHAHAHAAAA!!!

“you need a straw? So you can SUCK IT UP???!!! HAHAHAHA!”

You’ve got to think like a Dad!

  1. Tell him you wanted to get to the easy part so he wouldn’t have a hard time.
  2. Ask him if he’d like to try it himself.
  3. Before doing all this, change the options to Hard Difficulty, change the mouse sensitivity, change the mouse acceleration and remove ‘Enable Auto Aim’
    Later, bring him a straw!

For anyone else who didn’t notice, there was another Mini Update posted recently! Here’s the link: https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791438194191/announcements/detail/1615021499138499644

I’ve been mostly avoiding the steam updates to avoid spoilers, but the new UI looks pretty sleek, I like it.

There gonna be QUAKING!

Looking and dev’s responses, Interlooper will be 8 maps long.
I really like the idea having break in first Xen maps from tough combat areas (Surface tension and Lambda core) and slowly accelerating combat through Gonarch’s lair and Interlooper.
