Hey guys question I saw some multiplayer gameplay of it a day ago, and I tried to play the game rn, but all I get is a black void with npc, how can ya play online?

[wispy plank]

thats the playtest and that isnt online just 3 bots

[glossy lintel]

ooh I got the game but how can I join the playtest then? I wanna play online as well it looks fun XD

maybe I need to reinstall

[cold cliff]

why cant my bro get up he got hit once with a blunt weapon and acts like he cant push himself back up

[glossy lintel]

I'm assuming blunt weapons hurt XD

[weak crescent]

You go and get hit once with a blunt weapon and get up after

[cold cliff]

i cant even if i get up i fall right over😭

[weak crescent]

No online for the foreseeable future and just request playtest from steam page and wait for email

[cold cliff]

YESSSS IM BACK UP!!

[wispy plank]

just go to half sword on steam and join playtest on store

[glossy lintel]

ooh I see my bad I thought it was online!, looks like a fun game though

[weak roost]

Concussion be real

[weak crescent]

Maybe in future we will but for the most part it'll be singleplayer

[split wraith]

willie

[glossy lintel]

That's fair! I think this could be a really good game, I'm just a sucker for multiplayer, and thought 1v1ing some guys would be fun here XD

[split wraith]

oh wow someone actually can see what im saying

[frozen carbon]

Does anyone actually have any sense of what they're doing in the game or are you all just flailing your weapon around ?

[split wraith]

ive got a pretty good sense

[cold cliff]

oh poop the voice actor....

Hello, Mr. Willie.

[jolly nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/black-man-down-syndrome-rizz-gif-13021584249069787017

[cold cliff]

i wonder what they used as referance🤔 🤔

[hollow plume]

does anyone know how to fix the disk write error on my half sword demo

[split wraith]

may i ask a question since you know what the lines where??

[humble bloom]

Yeah

[frozen carbon]

So.. Like I'm a fencer in real life, I've played both mordhau and chivarly but this game simply escapes me. I can't do anything that I'd want to but it's fun nonetheless.. 🤷‍♂️

[brittle robin]

Put ur sword in the Posta di coda longa guard and do underhand swing to the head

[split wraith]

so me and 2 of my friends noticed this one line sounds like willie is straight up calling me the n word lmao. and figured.

[cold cliff]

proof?

[covert edge]

"EGGARD!"

[split wraith]

ahhh now it makes all the much more sense

[wispy plank]

so ur the one saying choke soudns

[devout hinge]

how the fuck do people understand eggard as the nword it sounds more like "retard" than that

[split wraith]

the mouse movements are pretty precise id say, also mordhau is cool but i wasnt dedicated enough to skill up in that game lol

[split wraith]

accent thing i reckon

[frozen carbon]

Just hit some dude with the blunt side of the sword in the head so hard he dieded.. Works good enough I'd say 👍

[humble bloom]

The only one I can think of is egad, which is just "oh god"

[split wraith]

yea well ur used to death sounds so that makes sense too lmao

[frozen carbon]

Mordhau has nothing to do with actual fencing at the higher levels but it's a'ight.

[split wraith]

if u like fencing try hellish quart, its pretty cool.

[wispy plank]

he stabbed himself

[split wraith]

with a spear?

[wispy plank]

happens

[frozen carbon]

Oh yeah I heard about that one too. I'll definitely try sometime in the future.

[split wraith]

bonk
flump

[devout hinge]

sharp at low tier and blunt at the top 2 tiers

[cold cliff]

my fav low teir weapon is the 2 handed axe

[raw arch]

yesss my friend requested for quickplay

[split wraith]

dare u edit it

[frozen carbon]

Sword gripped by the blade is a blunt weapon a'ight 🤷‍♂️

[devout hinge]

nuh uh its not

[cold cliff]

wait kinda like a...... Half Sword©

[frozen carbon]

kinda like a... MORDHAU

[split wraith]

its really hard to clip half sword how do i do it? ive tried xbox and geforce i dont wanna have to have some other one :[

[frozen carbon]

I use steelseries GG atm.

[split wraith]

good quality and fps? doesnt take up too much sys? doesnt shove its filthy logo in the way until i pay money?

[devout hinge]

tell me you dont know how the mordhau grip looks like without telling me you dont know how it looks like

[frozen carbon]

For the quality and fps
You can choose the resolution and fps of the clip.

I personally don't care about sys so much as I've got a beast pc and it DOES shove a logo but it's pretty small. It's not in the actual video file itself. Only when you actually export the video using their software so it can be avoided easily.

[wispy plank]

i ídentify as

[split wraith]

ah so i can download my footage and no stinking logo? rad ill have it then :3

[frozen carbon]

I do know what it looks like. 🤷‍♂️ I do fence with a longsword.

[devout hinge]

then you can recognize that halfswording and mordhau grip arent quite related

[covert edge]

What the fuck is this

[frozen carbon]

Well Steelseries saves the clips in your pc 🤷‍♂️

[humble bloom]

Half sword stabs vs the half sword baseball bat

[weak crescent]

One of my new stickers

[jolly nexus]

when willie freeman will turn into sticker?

[split wraith]

NOBLOOD

[frozen carbon]

Duuuh I was talking about taking the sword by the blade 🤷‍♂️ But still while halfswording you can simply bash someone in the head with the guard + pommel using it as a blunt weapon ?

[weak crescent]

I can make a Willie freeman

[jolly nexus]

do it please 🙏

[weak crescent]

I will after nap

[devout hinge]

well yeah but youre using the only blunt parts of a sharp object

[frozen carbon]

against armored opponents blunt parts are your friends.

[celest patrol]

when i play on the full plate i like to "sheath" the shield and use with both hands the mace

[devout hinge]

you got a whole fucking mace or warhammer as your secondary on the top tiers

[vapid heart]

How do i go first person?

[soft osprey]

Good morning half sworders! I had another dream about half sword last night, causing me to wake up with quite the full sword

[lunar solstice]

[weak roost]

Longsword/greatsword best weapon.

[rigid wing]

True

[covert edge]

Mace is better for execution fr

[weak roost]

That is true, 50% of the time I pull it out whent hey hit the ground.

[restive light]

yall arent just liquifying their brains on the first hit?

[rigid wing]

Longsword combines every type of damage, both sharp and blunt

[devout hinge]

tell me you never fought at top tier

[weak roost]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1JevKViURcw

[soft osprey]

I just like swords because when you’re in full armor it drags the fight out like a mother fucker and I love the challenge of a long duel

[restive light]

a sword can do fine in all settings while a mace or two handed polearm is mid for non 1v1 or when people get tooc lose

[loud river]

Check out #1263248218297339915! It's not perfect, but we try our hardest to learn the longswords in this game. The pins have some key clips and lessons we've learned.

[idle crane]

Also if you do sword and buckler fencing https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1272867246984659005

I totally missed that. Thanks !

bro can we PLEASE get these names right?

[idle crane]

It's a thread so it's pretty hidden unless revealed

Fellows call me the Willie

[tawdry solar]

you are a common willie tier 2

[restive light]

If i knock someone out I wanna hear them snore instead of them asking for mercy

[full trench]

Honk Shmimi overlapping with cries and please

[restive light]

^

[soft osprey]

Idk if it’s listed in the sword guide as I haven’t checked it out in there yet but I recently discovered using alt key in your strikes lets you swing faster and more accurately. Helping keep your sword in front of you and makes for easier swings

[full trench]

Grant me leave to snore

[true zealot]

that means that they're struggling to get oxygen into their system 😭

[restive light]

completely valid.

[waxen marten]

how come there is no blood becasuse of the japanese game show? why not have an option in the game for gore so at the show you show no gore and if you want to play with it or not you can

[true zealot]

if it has gore at all then i think it requires them to get a different venue with id checks and shit, so its just easier to remove it for the time being

[loud river]

It's been patrially known from the false edge tech, but make a clip and write up the lesson if you wanna get a pin 😄

[waxen marten]

ok that makes a lot more sence thank you

[jolly gorge]

whens the TGS event ending lowkey

[idle crane]

29th September

[loud river]

It has nothing to do with Japan's censorship. It's a public game showing, and we are cannot show off stuff like this in a public crowd. You need to rent a private venue to show off things like this. Same in Germany, same in Canada, US, and likely the EU.
The physics system got an entire overhaul, so the new blood tech is not ready to be implemented, and the old blood tech needs to be tweaked to be compatible with the new physics engine, if that makes sense.

There's a lot of fine lines to the situation, but it's not down to "because of Japan", I want people to know that on the forefront.

[jolly gorge]

thats actually shocking 😧

[loud river]

The TGS hasn't even started yet my mans

[hallow tree]

was about to ask into this

[jolly gorge]

realest shit in this server

[true zealot]

wish the game had a consciousness slider as well as a damage slider, im tired of turning down damage and shit just to get an instant win or loss from being knocked out in 2 seconds

[soft osprey]

For sure I’ll make one later today and post it

[hallow tree]

honestly the biggest reason i want blood back is make it easier to tell how lethal my hit was / how lethal my enemy's hit was

kind of just the visual feedback helps

[jade panther]

Ay this aint even out, but imagine a a guts mod from berserk in this game, with these physics and gore? It'll go absolutely MENTAL

[restive light]

With these physics... gl lifting the sword dumby

[devout hinge]

there is a big sword available to the 2 top tier classes

[jade panther]

Thats what modding is for

[covert edge]

Berserk mentioned, you are BANNED

[jade panther]

Mod it to where it feels properly while being managable to handle

[jade panther]

Except the ending of it its a solid wym 😭

its gonna take a good while to add the workshop to the game id imagine

also what is this japanese game show even called

[devout hinge]

first of all its gonna take a good while to develop the game

[jade panther]

Your telling me you'd not want to wield a CHUNK of metal and cut mf's in half with it

[true zealot]

the enemies are so fucking tweaked dude im done

[hallow tree]

i can do that already

[true zealot]

this guy has a sword in my hip and im on the floor, but the AI is too stupid to recognise the fact his sword is stuck IN ME, so he's just trying to repeatedly drag it up and down to hit me, but it just keeps me on the edge of consciousness and im not even bleeding out, i cant even stand, fight back or grab him

[devout hinge]

Hold G to give up!

[true zealot]

I refuse to give up to a pussy ass AI

[jade panther]

I fight till im dead or knocked in this hoe

[jolly gorge]

rs

[vernal pivot]

hi

[true zealot]

I can grab him with my left hand, it's just I need my character to regain enough strength to bring his right over his torso to fully grapple his leg and get the chance I need to stand

[restive light]

this guy wouldnt give up so i held my blade to his crotch til he did.

[jade panther]

I often jam a fork into them till they give up

[true zealot]

HIS SWORD IS OUT OF ME, WE MIGHT BE UP??

[jolly gorge]

his sword better go into you again

[restive light]

brave stand is the best gamemodes.

[vernal pivot]

@jolly gorge how first person

[jolly gorge]

how do you not know
press v

stupid 15 second slowmode.....

[vernal pivot]

I legit just downloaded it..

[jolly gorge]

my faul

max out fov in settings so first person doesnt suck much

[gritty hull]

why is the demo lowkey clear of the play test

[restive light]

because gore, next question

[gritty hull]

bro knows it all

[devout hinge]

no he doesnt

[covert edge]

NO GORE???

[vernal pivot]

just download it on itch.io

[gritty hull]

he does

[gritty hull]

tf is that

[devout hinge]

the itch.io version is the oldest version and shittiest version possible of halfsword at the moment i do not reccomend installing it

[vernal pivot]

yea its pretty bad

[unborn stream]

hey guys new here

[gritty hull]

whats so special about it?

[vernal pivot]

but atleast gore even though I dont even play on it 💀

[restive light]

real talk, if in first person, bump up the bass in the audio and it will make people feel like they are in game more

[true zealot]

I'm back on my feet, He is so fucked.

[unborn stream]

when does the game release anyone know?

[devout hinge]

#faq

[unborn stream]

thanks

[gritty hull]

whats so special about the itch.io version?

[rough grotto]

my mask

[true zealot]

I lost because of the stupidest fucking reason, I tried to run into him for a tackle, he did the shitty swap grip thing and just instantly knocked me out

thank you half sword, very cool

[restive light]

Deserved.

[true zealot]

I didnt have a weapon equipped and I was able to knock him off his feet a little, I tried to give him a full push so I could run back and pick my sword up

[devout hinge]

nothing

[gritty hull]

so why tf did he ask me to get it from itch.io if i have it on steam?

[devout hinge]

because he may be a dummy

[gritty hull]

okay

[devout hinge]

or you can just download it yknow its free

[gritty hull]

i have it on steam 😭

[hallow tree]

me at the start of a swordfight switching my sword to half sword grip and running at my enemy to impale him in the heart with my sword

[gritty hull]

i fr need a gore mod cuz i feel like its gonna take forever until the release

[weak roost]

Go play the demo.

[covert edge]

Soon

[gritty hull]

demo doesnt have big boi armor

[restive light]

it does

[gritty hull]

does it?

[restive light]

you just gotta keep progressing

[hallow tree]

or yknow in the forehead

[gritty hull]

aight

[tranquil oyster]

It does have the big boy stuff very late

[true zealot]

Imagine this, right
the game devs release a blood "mod" as a nexus thing and its just the blood system but downloadable

[weak roost]

Gore and armor are pretty opposing concepts.

If you wear armor there will be less gore.

[main patrol]

how do you play in that map?

[true zealot]

playtest

[gritty hull]

now i know

[main patrol]

my map is dark

[true zealot]

request access on the steam page

[main patrol]

i are how long does it take you'd say?

[tranquil oyster]

Anyone else disappointed about the stabs being near useless?

[hallow tree]

took me like 2 minutes

[gritty hull]

exactly, i like when its unfair, i put all of the biggest armors and fight 4 little naked guy

[restive light]

aim.

[tranquil oyster]

Took 20 minutes for me

[weak roost]

I disagree.

[main patrol]

ill just check in a bit then shouldnt take too long

[wooden socket]

whats your favorite tier to play in this game? mines prob tiers 4-6

[hallow tree]

[granite harness]

why people footage are so smooth

my weapon just goes wobbly all the way

[hallow tree]

you wont believe me but my pc runs like booty

oh you mean footing

[granite harness]

im talking about the grip

[restive light]

hold F

[hallow tree]

practice i guess

[granite harness]

F ?

[restive light]

yes

[meager yarrow]

when will gore be back?

[granite harness]

i finished the game twice

[devout hinge]

#1087768514024181870

[frozen carbon]

SAME

[granite harness]

the final boss is the naked man

[wooden socket]

hmmmmm

[granite harness]

ill try holding F and see

[hallow tree]

play test has better physics and combat

[granite harness]

but no cursor sadly

[meager yarrow]

:/

[hallow tree]

you dont need a cursor

[meager yarrow]

btw, what does body density, blood, and bone snapping option does? just curious

[loud river]

In the demo, each option does what they say on the tin.

[river wigeon]

i've been playing this game since the demo released when i saw the playtest i was hard

[loud river]

In the playtest there is no gore, so blood doesn't do anything, but the rest still function

[hallow tree]

im excited for slow mode

[restive light]

well we cant cut limbs off. In the demo that is a core aspect of fighting/disarming opponents

[river wigeon]

i am excited for everything

[jolly gorge]

We love 30s slow mode here

[hallow tree]

you where WHAT

[river wigeon]

nothing :3

[hallow tree]

i meant in the game dingleberry

[humble bloom]

body density affects how easily sharp weapons cut in and out of the body.
blood affects how many blood particles are spawned for bleeding in the demo, and bone snapping makes it easier to break bones with blunt weapons, or sharp weapons embedded in the body.

[hallow tree]

they said they plan on adding a slow mo

[loud river]

Fairly true, but the density does still affect how smooth your cuts are, and how stuck your weapon can get in an enemy.

[river wigeon]

i have more hours on the demo of this game then in other fully released games xd

[jolly gorge]

Watch your tone boy

[hallow tree]

sorry boss

[torpid lynx]

milk that tastes like real milk

[hallow tree]

what?

[restive light]

Step 1. Grab their face.
Step 2. press x
Step 3. Watch as a longsword gets teleported into their frontal lobe.

[loud river]

So real, I think I stopped playing the demo at like 260 something hours, and I'm already 220 in the playtest.

[torpid lynx]

that is crazy

[river wigeon]

i have more hours on the demo then in hell let loose foxhole cs go combained

[hallow tree]

they really made sure death was slow and painful

[river wigeon]

I LOVE IT

[gritty hull]

bro what is there more to do 😭

[torpid lynx]

is there any talk of what modes will be coming with the launch as of yet?

[gritty hull]

10 hours and you did everything

[loud river]

you're never done learning, and the combat is fresh nearly every time, nothing is repetitive

Perks of a fully physically simulated combat engine

[restive light]

if you guys havent learned how to throw daggers yet, you havent played enough

[river wigeon]

when i have a bad day and i stab peasants i feel free

[hallow tree]

fully physics game translates to unlimited fun

[loud river]

I love the good ol grab n stab fr

[torpid lynx]

I feel like the AI has been less terminator like since the previous hotfix

they yield when knocked down alot more now

[river wigeon]

i found a way to win against any bot xd

[loud river]

I kinda miss the AI being more deadly.

I get killed more to them switching hands and that still bein broken than I do legit

[torpid lynx]

IDK ill be on a good run then out of no where they just decide to one shot me xD

[river wigeon]

when this game is gonna be out i can't wait for competitive tourneys

[torpid lynx]

that an a arena mode

[loud river]

Won't be out for a while. We'll know more around the TGS.

[jolly gorge]

How can we enter this map? I'm tired of playing in a dark environment all the time.

[river wigeon]

get the playtest

you are in dark in the demo

[jolly gorge]

Do I need to download playtest?

[river wigeon]

be my pookie

[loud river]

Gotta go to the steam store page for Half Sword, and request access to the playtest

[jolly gorge]

OK, I requested access, I hope it will be accepted.

[loud river]

You will! Check back later today

[jolly gorge]

I was playing at the moment and I got bored of a dark environment, I wanted to get help via DC, thank you for the help.

It's not the full game, and there is no gore. I trust you can read about why when you start up the game.

[worn heron]

ow

that one really fucking hurt guys

I gotta stop looking at my phone

[frozen carbon]

Why does bro actually sound a bit like jschlatt ?

[hallow tree]

got a friend who just told me he probably wont play half sword because he already has blade and sorcery

[frozen carbon]

Valid

[hallow tree]

is it tho

[frozen carbon]

Isn't it tho

[loud river]

I mean they're like super different games.

One is largely physics based, the other is weirdly goofy with it's animations and graphics. One is wholly historical, the other is fantastical, one is VR, and the other is K&M.

[worn heron]

[frozen carbon]

Yeah sure. You can't really compare the two, but if it's just the actual swordfighting you're after you can get goofy with it in blade and sorcery. But I honestly just play both of them. Half sword is great for when I've got nothing to do for a while since it literally takes 0seconds to boot up and I'm already hitting some baldie over the head with a mallet. 🤷‍♂️

[humble sandal]

does anyone get stuck here a lot aswell?

[loud river]

Press the windows key! It'll let you select the modes

[silk void]

when will we see the wip items in the demo release?

[covert edge]

Soon

[loud river]

Could you rephrase that? I don't understand.

[tranquil ivy]

Hey in the demo what is that thing that pops up when you kill the scythe guy?

[hallow tree]

honestly he kinda just walked right into my sword

[silk void]

When will we see the content posted in the wip channel part of the demo release on steam... better??

[loud river]

Ah ok I see. Most of that will come in the 0.4 update of the demo, which likely won't be coming until early next year.

[silk void]

okay, thx for the update

[loud river]

No problem!

[lunar solstice]

why i dont have blood on playtest please

[loud river]

It's been removed!

Holy chad

[tranquil ivy]

I see on the playtest there the highest tier is not clickable, is it a work in progress or do you have to unlock it?

[shy fog]

whats cookin good lookin

[loud river]

I wonder what it's like seeing yourself get brutally murdered every day?

[shy fog]

Don't post it again, you're cool. I don't wanna see you banned 😄

[loud river]

Add Willie smiles

[bitter wadi]

Hey, what is the formal name of the fighting system used in Half Sword?

[frozen carbon]

I didn't post it. I've got no clue what it says either It's just funny because of the dude throwing stones.

[bitter wadi]

that the sword follows the cursor

[loud river]

Yeah, was a racist gif against Romanis.

[frozen carbon]

oop

[loud river]

Thank you demi

[devout hinge]

im a certified romanian fr

[loud river]

but we don't need it in chat again

[frozen carbon]

I translated it after bro got banned. Figured it was something like that.

[sterile flume]

in 2 days it has gone up 9 slots

[loud river]

Honestly have no clue this type of combat might be the first one of its kind

[bitter wadi]

ok, thanks

[grave aurora]

i need to change my pants now

[frigid cave]

why does it keep making me download the unreal prerequisites each time i open the game

[humble bloom]

Because you havent downloaded it.

[frigid cave]

but i have like 8 times

[worn heron]

yeah same I have no clue what it's called. It's a physics based system

[worn heron]

do it

[worn heron]

SteelSeries moments? Paused.

[tawdry solar]

Yeah that's rare, i usually only hear it when i slash and that's like pretty rare

Also did you optimize your recording? it's alot easier for me to load the video now lmao

Limited it to 50 Megabytes, coulda done 25 but I like it to be visibly legible

[tawdry solar]

Ah nice

[frigid cave]

is the demo any different from the playtest

[loud river]

Loads

[jolly gorge]

Gore.

[loud river]

Basically 2 different games

[frigid cave]

yay

[loud river]

Combat is entirely overhauled, no gore (yet), gamemodes, light, etc.

New armor

And weapons.

[frigid cave]

oh

[frigid cave]

i swear to god if the demo crashes also

[brittle robin]

Holy shit frank is hot 🔥🥵

[restive light]

yall are crashing?

[loud river]

Dude everyone on HSG is hot fr

World's Hottest Game Dev Studio

[near lichen]

Ngl I prefer horizontal slashes from the abyss demo, maybe they can bring that back after tgs. Keep the overhead slashes though.

[frigid cave]

the demo also crashed

[undone ruin]

YOO its him?😭

[loud river]

I dunno, the demo just has wonky arms. The whole reason the playtest's combat is better is because your arms act like actual arms now.

[frigid cave]

i just like the combat because you can actually control your arms

[loud river]

They're no longer locked at full extension like you popped a viagra

[oblique flint]

Shave

[near lichen]

The horizontal slashes from the playtest feels a little weak

[restive garnet]

irl willie is a man not a child

[oblique flint]

Neither is the game willie

And real willie's beard requires shaving as it is not DEVELOPED

[restive garnet]

yes

[loud river]

Maybe, but I see that as realistic. You don't really "horizontal slash" in real combat, as far as I've seen.

[tender quest]

which weapon?

[oblique flint]

The paddle

[shy fog]

Hes been mewing I see

[oblique flint]

They're referencing the paddle

[tender quest]

oh ok

[loud river]

lmfao no we're not

Just in general

[oblique flint]

True i lied

[brittle robin]

Can you make him do this face

[near lichen]

Why not? Perfect for backhand slashes

Ofc u can go low too

can you demonstrate the slash you're trying to do?

wasted like 5 minutes of my time attempting

[tender quest]

something to with UESS4 or something like that

[worn heron]

If it's any worth, the Willie Reshade works on the playtest c:

[worn heron]

Yeah the trainer mod is incompatible with the new UE engine, UE 5.4

[tough folio]

hey, how to change map

[loud river]

[worn heron]

I'll get my copypasta for ya

[tough folio]

pls teach me iam new

[worn heron]

Alright, For the playtest, Go to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2397300/Half_Sword/ to request access, wait for a confirmation email from the devs. From there you'll have the playtest available to install directly in your steam library, just please be patient as there have been 250,000 people accepted so far, so things may take a little bit, depending on who's online, it can take 1-12 hours typically.

When the confirmation email is in your inbox (be sure to check your spam just in case!) the game will be automatically added to your steam library under "Half Sword Playtest"

enjoy and welcome to HalfSword!

If you have any additional questions, check the #1087768514024181870 , and you can ask the mods for help too!

[tough folio]

Willie is en route

he will be there soon

I apologize of course, but how long will I have to wait approximately?

[hallow tree]

would u guys say wireless keyboard and mouse is a disadvantage?

[jolly nexus]

what do we got behind this door? would it be the consequences of all the truths in the universe or the existential emptiness that traps willie in an infinite loop?

[worn heron]

it's usually quick, depends if the devs are awake. Community manager can also accept people. Can be like 5 minutes to 12 hours max

It'll be in your steam library automatically when youre accepted c:

[tough folio]

Oh okay, tysm

[worn heron]

it's just Chicago, Willie has to start paying taxes

[jolly nexus]

dang that's worse than dying

[worn heron]

yeah personally. My friend has a Bluetooth mouse and he always complains of mouse latency and lagging with his mouse in games. I try to tell him, it's because of his mouse.

"No man I have no problems with it"

bro then why do it disconnect on you in the middle of a warzone match

as per a keyboard? I can't say, I don't have experience

[loud river]

2.4 wifi is better, but yeah get a wired mouse for competative gaming 💀

[viral narwhal]

Hey fellas is there any way to pick gamemode in the playtest, like I played the last stand thingy but I cant pick it every time :(

[worn heron]

the fact it's raining when I finished the monument got me ded too

[worn heron]

Not really, some game modes are specific to certain classes

[worn heron]

Brave stand for example is exclusive to the top two

[viral narwhal]

Yeahh but I cant pick it whenever I want, like right now I can pick singe combat or the 3v3

[idle crane]

There is a pinned list of what classes you have to be for what game modes

[worn heron]

Yeah it only shows up sometimes

[viral narwhal]

Ah okay then im not missing something

@worn heron So its just luck if I get to pick that gamemode?

[worn wing]

yo

[worn heron]

Pretty much! It's usually like a 1/3 chance for me

[worn wing]

is there a way to have blood in the game?

[worn heron]

Top 2 armoured classes

[worn heron]

Nope not rn

[humble path]

did they add a stamina mechanic?

[worn wing]

alright thanks

[worn heron]

Check pinned messages for more details

[worn heron]

Yup!

[viral narwhal]

Okay :)

[humble path]

yooooo thats so sick im really liking what they are doing with this game its awesome

[worn wing]

im glad i got access to the game

[rustic oxide]

@worn heron when i join the game it lets me in a dark room

[dry bluff]

that’s the demo, the playtest has different modes and classes

[humble path]

did they add it last night?

[rustic oxide]

look

[humble path]

walk forward

[rustic oxide]

i want to play like this guy

[idle crane]

Stamina has been in from the very start of the playtest

[dry bluff]

I believe you, what im saying is the demo and the playtest are two different things

[humble path]

[idle crane]

Wdym?

[eager mist]

[worn wing]

the game is fun with first person it feels like ur a ufc fighter

[oblique flint]

I accept you bro ❤️

[idle crane]

You will be accepted today or tomorrow dont worry

[dense python]

lmao I cant wait till im accepetd

[jolly gorge]

yo i like grabbing the opponent head and punching it with the other hand

[eager mist]

[worn wing]

me too

[eager mist]

you didnt

[oblique flint]

I accept you the way you are. Everything about thou

[eager mist]

ok

[dense python]

what the wait limit on acceptance? like a couple days or so?

[heavy onyx]

i can make the demo easier by increasing damage to npc and reducing damage to player right?

[dense python]

nvm i read it in faq

[heavy onyx]

cant i just make myself invincible then lmao

[idle crane]

almost its like 99% damage reduction

[rustic oxide]

yes

[heavy onyx]

im gonna box my way to 1 gazillion score

[jolly gorge]

Hey! Hope you're all having a great day. I've been interested in Half-Sword for a while now.

[rustic oxide]

i played this game for 53h

[idle crane]

between demo and playtest i have like 120hrs

[jolly gorge]

I've played the demo (not the playtest even) for an embarrassing number of hours.

[viral narwhal]

Damn 😭

[rustic oxide]

me to

[tawdry solar]

I only had 7 hours on the demo, play test alone was 38 lmao

[humble path]

how do yall play in first person its so hard

[tawdry solar]

You just get used to it i guess

[humble path]

with a helmet on its awful

[tawdry solar]

Also maybe turning the lock on sliders all the way up would help as well

[jolly gorge]

First person does seem like an afterthought but this is only a proof of concept build.

It may be fleshed out later.

[idle crane]

increase FOV and avoid using helmets with thin slits. And especially avoid the barbute. you cant see at all

[fast stump]

how are people playing in that arena and boxxing mine it just black

[humble path]

yeah learned that the hard way

[idle crane]

First person will be improved

[humble path]

i really hope they go the multiplayer route, i really liked the fact that they called the 3v3 buhurt bc thats the historical name for it and is what we still call the sport today

[idle crane]

Markiplier would also enjoy he would become physchotic immediatly guarenteed

[loud river]

that's an old one no?

[humble path]

i hope they add 5v5

[loud river]

Local split screen has been tested with some success, it still remains to be seen how it will work out with networking once all the mechanics are in. it is being looked into but primary focus of development is the single player experience.

[humble path]

17 hours

[humble path]

yeah i understand that 100%

[worn wing]

i got accepted in 30 mins

am i lucky?

[idle crane]

it just depends when the devs are accepting the next batch. if you sign up as they are about to do it you get accepted very fast

[worn wing]

oh

[worn wing]

makes sense

[worn heron]

Sorry I just got back to this. If nobody replied, it has existed since the playtest released, it exhausted faster if you sprint. It punishes spam swinging

Yup!

[humble path]

yeah i just didnt notice it

[worn wing]

DUDE WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER 26?

[worn heron]

you sure will if you go for a jog around the arena

[worn heron]

probably after that, actually

[worn heron]

I would if I could

[viral narwhal]

@worn heron Im about to start going crazy with this mouse sens resetting every time

[worn heron]

I'm sorry I knooow

[jolly gorge]

Excited for that. Always memorable when an opponent fights to the death with one hand down and only 1/4th of a face left.

[dense python]

Hey man I appreciate it.

[jolly gorge]

Though I'm not sure if they'll just surrender or not at that point.

[dense python]

I keep checking my email but nothing😭

[worn heron]

If our community manager manages to hop on before he can probably getcha in time

[worn heron]

Search up "playtest" in your steam library, sometimes you'll see it before your email. Just in case

[viral narwhal]

My guy looks like a damn zombie at this point 😭

[gentle heron]

should I higher my dpi speed to hit harder?

[dense python]

😭

[worn heron]

That won't really change much, sometimes larger weapons have better impact if you swing slower and more precise actually

[worn heron]

I'm sorry I tried

[viral narwhal]

I LOVE BLUNT DAMAGE!!!

[gentle heron]

ah, I feel like my swords aren't dealing any dmg to them

[worn heron]

I will beam the playtest into your steam library via brain waves

[jolly gorge]

In my experiance hitting the head/neck/torso with a solid slash is more deveststing than just speed.

[idle crane]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-same-wavelength-twins-thinking-cosmic-energy-gif-15106217

[cerulean needle]

Swords deal damage the closer you are to the hilt of the blade with the blade, has more impact weight. Ideally you use the pommel torward armor. IF you hit decent headshots with a sword more torward the hilt on the blade it will 100% KO enemies in armor

[worn wing]

is it bannable if someone plays itch io version?

[worn heron]

Oh no you're free to go ahead! Let me get you the link, there is a fake malware version some scumbag made on itch, so I'll make sure you get the right one

[worn wing]

oh cool

cuz i think that version has blood in it so i want to check it out

[dense python]

all good lmao

[worn heron]

As long as it says it's from "knives_frank" it's safe, windows may flag it because it's from itch, tho.
https://knives-frank.itch.io/halfsword

[gentle heron]

btw what is the locked class thingy on the top? is it comming soon or just not a class

[humble path]

the angle your weapon starts at is also really important

[worn wing]

alright thanks

[worn heron]

There's also a secret on the winter map if you can manage to climb onto the Rocks up to the marble pillars. It will show you about the development of the game.

[viral narwhal]

@worn heron How do we feel about Mr bones

[copper plover]

Are you guys using ALS for animation layering? I've messed around w/ it and it's cool how you can layer anims. (i'm a game dev so i can't help but be curious)

[jolly gorge]

Sidebar: is there a planned campaign or story for Half-sword or will it just be an arena combat game?

[little wren]

[worn heron]

[worn wing]

im georgian too

[little wren]

Nice

[worn heron]

[little wren]

Yes

[dense python]

pwease

[jolly gorge]

[signal quest]

[worn heron]

[humble path]

what are you playing on

[loud river]

enjoy

[signal quest]

maybe my pc just needs a restart. that usually magically fixes things

[worn heron]

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-time-saddicus-cat-gif-6993257508743170170

enjoy my friend

[worn wing]

this what patience gets u

[dense python]

lmaoooo

[humble path]

the 1660s is under the minimum requirements for unreal engine 5

[signal quest]

if that's true then i don't believe it because 9/10 the game runs very smoothly on its highest settings

[humble path]

hmm idk then

[signal quest]

either way restart fixed it lol

[humble path]

nice

[signal quest]

but thanks for letting me know i'm assuming its running as smooth as it is rn because there isn't no gore mechanics implemented

and my gpu doesn't have to sweat rendering all of them particles

[soft osprey]

That’s the demo, plays like an endless rogue lite game

[worn wing]

oh

[topaz meadow]

hi

[tough yew]

Yea and if you want to play in an arena you have to request the new build and wait for a few hours

[worn heron]

Yeh it has 6 bosses and gets harder as it goes. It's endless

[worn wing]

demo seems to have better graphics and everything

[worn wing]

sorry but how to request

[worn heron]

might run better on your rig as the playtest is not fully optimized

Alright, For the playtest, Go to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2397300/Half_Sword/ to request access, wait for a confirmation email from the devs. From there you'll have the playtest available to install directly in your steam library, just please be patient as there have been 250,000 people accepted so far, so things may take a little bit, depending on who's online, it can take 1-12 hours typically.

When the confirmation email is in your inbox (be sure to check your spam just in case!) the game will be automatically added to your steam library under "Half Sword Playtest"

enjoy and welcome to HalfSword!

If you have any additional questions, check the #1087768514024181870 , and you can ask the mods for help too!

[worn wing]

oh ok

[tender quest]

Dislocated his shoulder

[soft osprey]

playtest is vastly improved combat, and I thought graphics too. Except it’s missing gore!

[tough yew]

you just click on the request button on the steam page

simple as

[worn heron]

beat u

[worn wing]

i have the playtest lmao

[worn wing]

i thought there was new builds for demo

[worn heron]

brother you asked

[nimble sphinx]

what are the reccomended specs for half sword

[worn heron]

[tough yew]

it was a goof it seems

[soft osprey]

A working computer

[worn heron]

I know I'm just giving him a hard time

[oblique flint]

Windows vista 4gb ram

[worn wing]

THATS INAPPROPIATE WAAAA😭

[prisma stream]

does anyone have custom keybind that make the game better to control?

[tough yew]

can't change those I think

[topaz meadow]

is there a keybind to go in 1st person?

[primal roost]

How do you win playing as knight class without a spear, everytime i use a sword i cant kill the enemy, what part do i have to hit?

[soft osprey]

Not trying to knock you but what could even be better? WASD is the default cause you can easily press each key close to each other and then the rest of the movement is with the mouse. Genuinely curious 🧐

[prisma stream]

well not better but easier to control maybe i just suck

[soft osprey]

There’s a learning curve don’t even sweat it! I was genuinely curious what keys you would set it up for. I’m so used to WASD I’ve never really tried anything different. Maybe arrow key movement?

[worn wing]

v

[prisma stream]

i was talking bout the swinging the games fun as hell but i keep getting my shit rocked😂

[fast bramble]

Press V, I also recommend turning the fov up

[fast bramble]

WASD is a lil tricky on DVORAK keyboards for example, so I understand why some might want to be able to customize keybinds. Hopefully we get the option soon

[gentle hound]

how do i stab? i cant really understand

[fast bramble]

There's two different ways to stab

[fast bramble]

Double click does an automatic poke forward, but doesn't really give you much options for aiming it, holding alt while moving the mouse will let you control the direction and angle of the stab

[restive garnet]

he gmod noclipping. its the gmod darkrp admin

[tender quest]

it happens

[gentle hound]

double click with any mouse button or only rmb?

[severe seal]

" , . p y f keyboard

[prisma stream]

lmao

[restive garnet]

lmaoo

[trail pivot]

ban willie for abusing his admin powers

[tender quest]

they bullied meeeee 😭

[trail nacelle]

A good way to fight is to alt stab mode thingy and keep the willies backwhile swinging for one

[fast bramble]

Double clicking lmb will stab with your right arm, double clicking with rmb will stab with your left arm, good for if you have a dagger in that hand or a shield you want to bash with

[restive garnet]

hahahaha

[iron obsidian]

If you’re on controller you have to click the right joystick and move your left joystick forward to stab

[ashen stream]

dude fainted

[devout hinge]

trying to figure out how you actually killed him

[trail nacelle]

If that makes sense

[loud river]

Draw cut across his face

Using the false edge

[prisma stream]

wait you can play on controller?

[devout hinge]

im built different i wouldnt die from that

[gentle hound]

thanks man, trying it out now 🙏

Willie is a champion...
