I think that's the SweetFX ASCII shader
Thanks to a fellow FPer, I managed to get my hands in this game, and boy it is good
I got 184 seconds in my best run, quite the improvement from the 94 last time (bear in mind i was using a laptop mousepad)
Only got a single issue, sometimes when I click the M1, insead of doing the dagger blast I only shoot a single dagger, which is quite annoying tbh, and occasionaly, FPS drops (then again this is a intelhd laptop so nothing unusual)
Just noticed 2 people beat DraQu, this is the new record:

This game is intense as fuck.
[QUOTE=paul simon;50014475]Tried this, didn't work :([/QUOTE]
The game started working suddenly. I suppose the dev pushed a patch fixing the issue I had.
Haven't played this game in a while, can barely break the 150+ mark before getting overrun, damnit
Major updates on the game:
[quote]Along with the Mac build we've added a soundtrack and some new game features to PC and Mac:
- 2 new enemies and updated progression.
- Fov slider and vsync options.
- HRTF processing for virtual surround sound when using headphones.
The new version of the game uses a new leaderboard. If you want to watch old replays or play the old version, it's still available by opting in to the "2015" beta in Steam.[/quote]

Also, the leaderboards got reset today in concurrence with the Mac version launch and several updates/wave tweaks.
Pretty cool that you can turn off vsync now, but I think it might be messing with the timing when the framerate's really high. No fps lock so I was running 300+ fps and couldn't kill the centipedes consistently. 5 runs and they always had at least 1 gem left when I shot at them from underneath, which pretty much always worked before.

I had 300 fps even before this patch and had no issues
Though now the game doens't boot at all, stays stuck in a black screen eventually forcing me to click on the screen until the dd.exe is not responding thing happens
There's some secret stuff in this update too, remember those hidden platforms we were on about earlier?
[img]http://i.imgur.com/b0ECOao.png[/img]
On the topic of hidden stuff, someone on the forums pointed out that there are some new sounds in the game's files, and pointed out some interesting file names. I took his tool and extracted the files and gave them all a brief listen. There will be a link posted at the bottom with all of the game's sounds if you want to give them a listen again/for the first time.
[quote=Some guy]
Then we have some other sounds:
- daggersteal1 - 5
- daggerdivert
- legends
- sorathstone
- land2
- spawnandras
- chatterandras
- andrasrise
- andrasimpact
- damageandras
- killandras[/quote]
Daggersteal1-5; Sounds sort of like a knife being drawn from a scabbard and clanging against another. As the numbers increase, so does the intensity of the clanging.
Dagger divert; Loud wind whipping sounds that drastically increases in intensity. "Divert" leads me to believe that whatever Andras is might just be able to keep daggers off of him.
Legends; a musical track, same with Sorath Stone/Sorath's Tone
Land 2; A landing sound effect. Sounds heavy.
Now here's where things get fucking crazy. In the same thread on the Steam Forums [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/app/422970/discussions/0/358417008716716493/"](Linkareino)[/URL], Andras is actually the name of a Grand Marquis of Hell who has an article on Wikipedia [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_demons_in_the_Ars_Goetia#Marquis_Andras"]here.[/URL] When things get even more nuts is when you read the description of Andras and how it may tie in to the wings model/texture, the feathers that appear around the dagger when you collect a new one, and the following sounds.
[quote=Wikipedia]
Andras is a Great Marquis of Hell, having under his command thirty legions of demons.
According to the Goetia, Andras was a Grand Marquis of Hell, appearing with a winged angel's body and the head of an owl or raven, riding upon a strong black wolf and wielding a sharp and bright sword. He was also responsible for sowing discord, and commanded 30 infernal legions.[/quote]
The bit about the legions would certainly fit the games tone.
Spawn Andras; A loud, birdlike screeching noise accompanied by flapping wings.
Chatter Andras; White noise with interludes of heavily distorted speech. Might be pitched up and backwards, who fucking knows? Someone get on this.
Andras Rise; Wings flapping before a sound of lift off.
Andras Impact; Heavy landing sound with an almost metal effect, like knives spraying out across the ground.
Damage Andras; Very pinpoint sound effect, 1 second in length. If Andras is a boss, a sound like this would be good because it's not grating.
Kill Andras; Very short, three seconds in length, sort of a dying breath sort of sound.
Also worth noting is that hidden in the chatter for Squid III or "Ultra Squid" as it's referred to in the games files towards the end is a voice that sounds like it's saying "souls" and in the sound effect of it spawning is the word "ATTACK".

it's a hidden message left by physiocrats describing the 18th century farming economy of France.

Hidden platforms have textures now? Or what is this
[editline]8th July 2016[/editline]
Whatever V3nom posted looks to be a part of the texture 'Sorath Stone', which is also the name of a musical piece hidden within this update.

There's a video showing two secrets with hidden platforms which are relatively easy to find even without. The image V3nom posted is part of one of them. I don't know if I should post the video or not.
Also I wonder if spending your homing daggers slows down the upgrade progress for the new next hand level. Or if you just really need to harvest the three centipedes for crystals to get that level up.

Those triple centipedes screw me royally.

I'd appreciate the video if you don't mind.
Sojk confirmed in the comments of one of his videos that Hand 4 is related to your amount of homing daggers, yes.

[sp]That explains where Legends and Sorath Stone are played. Neat! I hate that this game turns me into a secret hunting fanatic. [/sp]
those sounds imply they might be for a pvp mode.
This update is hard core. Can't wait for the next one. I bet they'll have some big baddie appear after the first "boss".
[editline]9th July 2016[/editline]
I feel like it's easier to kill skulls though. Maybe my aim is just getting better thanks to Overwatch, but I'm easily getting into the 300 seconds mark.
