crazy iron sights lmao

[craggy ore]

Spacemarine 2 Goated

[soft osprey]

RTS is my go to genre

Age of empires 3, or 4. Any total war game that’s not fuckin warhammer

Manor lords maybe?

I’m not a huge fan of shooters so can’t help you there

[visual trail]

warhammer looked hard

i wanted to give it a try but its too expensive

[craggy ore]

Just wait for the 9th and get the 60 dollar release rbh

Shit’s cash honestly best video game release since like og modern warfare black ops era

[brisk osprey]

wait for halfsword full release and buy as many copies as u can

[silver kayak]

anyway for me to get the full game?

it looks fun asf but i can only get the demo

[silver kayak]

it says request

i did but i cant play it

[little verge]

Search your steam library for Playtest

[silver kayak]

nope only the demo

do i have to wait to be accepted or sum?

[fallow ginkgo]

[silver kayak]

OHHH i see it mb

[little verge]

Already accepted search your steam library for playtest.

[graceful cosmos]

Gib iron harvest a try it u haven't

[twin jetty]

is the version with full armour free or to people who fund the kickstarter as i have the play test and is only two modes the armour mode looks great

[near arch]

in the main menu there are class icons hidden in the background. Click em they look like little portraits in boxes

[grim flume]

could anyone accept my request?

i really wanna play beta

mrwonderbeast

[wicked mirage]

how long it takes for someone to accpet playtest request

[wise mason]

Half Sword is my new favorite game

[wise halo]

I think he just cleared every request

so u can play it I guess

[hexed hemlock]

why is there no blood in the playtest

[craggy ore]

Click on the little icons to the right of your character on the main menu, they are classes and the top ones have armor

[craggy ore]

You have to paypal me $200

[languid forge]

when they add a multiplayer please mention me

[stable mesa]

it sucks that we cant put the really big swords on our backs

hint hint

[visual trail]

space marine two doesnt look too good

thats my opinion though

[visual trail]

not my type of game

[soft osprey]

Your opinion is wrong

[visual trail]

id prefer ready or not or body cam

[opal sundial]

it’s a really good game. But I respect your opinion on it

[visual trail]

whatever has the best blood

[civic tundra]

#1281681380006428672 😦

[visual trail]

im sure its fun

just isnt something i would choose

if my friends had it or something id play it

[karmic sedge]

Anyone else get a nice right hook and just feel so satisfied

[opal sundial]

I get that. I suppose I was really backing it from the start since I love warhammer.

[civic tundra]

ayo wtf, the game just opened after 2 days of trying**

[karmic sedge]

Im talking like a nice real big juicy hook

[visual trail]

coolest thing you can do in halfsword is chop someones head off while they are still standing

its so awesome

[wind charm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Cq4ZwItjI

[visual trail]

oh and i got mine chopped off too

[languid forge]

gimme some

[gray crag]

Same, i thought about baldurs gets 3

And then ofcourse Stalker 2 on release. Unfortunately all the world changing games come in 2025.

Monster hunter wilds, kingdom come 2, gta 6

[opal sundial]

I suppose 2024 isn’t the year for mainstream games. (Although Space Marine 2 came close. And yes, I will keep glazing Space Marine 2 without shame)

[gray crag]

What even is space marine

[opal sundial]

check it. (These are my own screenshots btw)

also this one

[jolly gorge]

@manic lake skibidi sigma rizzler ohio sigma giga Chad

[jolly gorge]

Is it good? Are there zombies in it?

[opal sundial]

tf you mean zombies

[jolly gorge]

Zombies

I mean zombies, does it have zombies

[opal sundial]

no?

why would it?

[jolly gorge]

I thought all warhammer games have zombies

[opal sundial]

elaborate on what kind of zombies

[jolly gorge]

Uhhh, like classical undead

[opal sundial]

not really

you might be thinking of the fantasy version of warhammer

[jolly gorge]

What is this game tho?

[opal sundial]

Space Marine 2

the sequel to Space Marine (which came out 13 years ago lol)

[jolly gorge]

BRO IT LOOKS LIKE IF HELLDIVERS 2 AND DOOM HAD A BABY

[opal sundial]

basically yeah

[fleet stump]

It's really good, playing it on ps5 atm

[opal sundial]

yooo

[grim flume]

mod can you pls

[opal sundial]

[grim flume]

[livid fable]

[scenic mango]

Update when?

[brazen surge]

love how even if this game it's suposed to be funny mechanics it looks like those real combat videos when they just bash each other lol

[oblique shard]

theres no modern buildings

this game is so old

they need to update the game

[severe seal]

fr

[neon mantle]

Playtest on steam

[round cypress]

terminator 3000

[analog acorn]

that'll buff out

[fast bramble]

Damn that's the first time I've seen a helmet fly off in the playtest and it wasn't even me that knocked it off, it was the fence

[outer pagoda]

how do i get more weapons in the 1v1 mode?

[outer pagoda]

ty bbg

[devout hinge]

😫

[outer pagoda]

i love u

[analog acorn]

so like, what does lock on actually do?

[vital lark]

i tried the play test and idk I vibe with the demo more... like the atmosphere of getting dropped into nothingless, trying to scavenge for weapons is too cool for me xD

[devout hinge]

focuses your camera on the enemy

[vital lark]

but man the shields are so much more fun in the play test tho, the animations are way better

[analog acorn]

Does it?

I honestly cant tell a difference

[devout hinge]

it does

i prefer to turn lock on strenght in the settings to the max

because sometimes its weird and doesnt work that well

[outer pagoda]

btw how do i activate blood bbg

[analog acorn]

oh WORD theres a slider

excellent

[analog acorn]

thank you demi

[outer pagoda]

oopsie doopsie redoopsie boopsie voopsie moopsie noopsie

[vital lark]

XD

[devout hinge]

yeah but because this is supposed to be shown at a gameshow the settings dont save after you leave the game they go back to default

[analog acorn]

thats fine

[devout hinge]

atleast thats why i think they dont save

[devout hinge]

there are no animations!!! only physics and mouse movements!! 😡😡🤬👿

[analog acorn]

Ok only works when swinging

sick, gotta make note of that

[vital lark]

no i mean like they hold it better than in demo

[devout hinge]

yeah in the playtest willie has functional elbows

[vital lark]

so that's why..

[outer pagoda]

arent there different maps?

[devout hinge]

on the playtest and demo no

[solar lark]

how long does it usually take to get playtest?

[devout hinge]

5 minutes to 24 hours

everyone gets accepted

[solar lark]

[jolly gorge]

It took me 30-50 mins i js got it

[dense folio]

[fast bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/chill-out-mr-freeze-arnold-batman-and-robin-punny-hd-gif-24346311

[fast bramble]

That's fair, I told them to keep in mind that satire/sarcasm doesn't always come across over text. If they keep giving you a hard time let me know.

[rapid bronze]

[fast bramble]

I should probably sleep tho it's 5:55AM

[rapid bronze]

[soft osprey]

September-November

[wispy stag]

am I garbage or is thrusting wayyy harder than cuts

when I double click they thrust with basically no force and it's very difficult to be accurate

spears especially seem pretty bad

[soft osprey]

Playtest or demo? In playtest you can hold alt key to stab

It’s much easier

[weak crescent]

I’m ready for battle

[weak crescent]

Use alt as well, where your hand is is going to be where they stab from, so if your hand is behind head you’ll have more reach to stab forward

[wispy stag]

I was not aware you could alt key

and yeah, positioning the hand further back is a good idea, thanks

[solar lark]

my first try not using duble handed swords as knight

[soft osprey]

Absolute baller

[tough yew]

messing around with the data of the save file

[sullen quarry]

when did yall add ufc physics

[tough yew]

that build is like 9 months old hehe

[near bluff]

will they be co-op/multiplayer this would be fun to 1v1 friends?

[soft osprey]

I know local split screen has been successfully tested but I doubt it’ll be full multiplayer

[tough yew]

MP won't be a thing for a while now, but they are working on splitscreen and its lookin good

[near bluff]

ahhh nice thanks yall

[soft osprey]

No problem, it’s what I do. Be a champion

[tough yew]

np, and enjoy!

[sullen quarry]

😼

i got playtest but i kinda like the demo more

[soft osprey]

You’re not alone in that sentiment. I love the demos gameplay, and the gore is good too. But the playtest physics and combat in general feels so much better

[tough yew]

is it because of the gore orr

[sullen quarry]

true

[outer pagoda]

how do i select another map_

[sullen quarry]

yeah lol and other reasons

[tough yew]

well anyhow im not gonna scorn you for playing an older version of the game, keep havin fun

[sullen quarry]

i like the demos combat more imo

[waxen light]

i like the demo for the general fighting with weapons, and the playtest because of fist fights

[sullen quarry]

like you can tell the difference

[tough yew]

You must request the play test on the steam page and wait a little

[sullen quarry]

yeah fist in demo is pointless and not that good but in the playtest its nice

[waxen light]

kinda want half sword physics in a mma game

[outer pagoda]

yeah i have already the play test but arent there another maps i have seen em on tiktok or on the images of the game in steam

[tough yew]

those are probably from an older version of the game or unreleased stuff that is not yet available

[outer pagoda]

oh tysm

[sullen quarry]

a katana would be sick in the demo

but like the scythe where you can cut bodies in half

[soft osprey]

That’s a sick picture

[tough yew]

game is planning to be on a very specific time period 1450-1480 germany and won't have stuff that's out of that time frame

[soft osprey]

If we ever get modding capabilities(beyond the two mods we have for the demo)I’m sure someone will add new models to the game

[cobalt ruin]

I would love it if you guys added kinda like a sandbox mode where you can give yourself superstrenght and shit and just rip people apart

[soft osprey]

There’s a trainer mod for the demo on nexus

[tough yew]

not sure about that in general I haven't heard much talk of that

but yea there's a mod trainer that kinda allows you to do that

[outer pagoda]

i would like a mode in where when u win ur opponent u start jerking on him

[sullen quarry]

id have to get back into modelling

anyone watched bleach?

[outer pagoda]

yeah bount arc is peak

[sullen quarry]

W but i modelled zangetsus sword

could add that

[outer pagoda]

noice

[soft osprey]

Jerking you say?

[sullen quarry]

how.

[outer pagoda]

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL PEAK!

[sullen quarry]

HOW IN SUCH SMALL TIME

is this the trainer?

[tough yew]

yea

you can download the mod installer to pretty much do it on one click

[outer pagoda]

wait are there mods for this game

[sullen quarry]

seems like it

[outer pagoda]

a star wars mod would be fire ngl

or THE SEX mod

[soft osprey]

I have a LOT more like this. Even spicier. I’ll let you see them for some #1270577738826256536 pics

[tough yew]

ONLY for the demo though for now

they're very small but sweet

[tough yew]

@boreal path

[outer pagoda]

well thats already ok

[tough yew]

managed to add the rondela helmet

with some data trickery

[outer pagoda]

yo could i ask u where do u install those mods pls?

[tough yew]

You can find all of them on the nexus page for the game

[outer pagoda]

tysm

[outer pagoda]

i love u bbg

[tough yew]

No problem and enjoy

[outer pagoda]

[soft osprey]

Though I guess this is halfsword chat

[feral heart]

https://tenor.com/view/hiii-gif-24270980

[sullen quarry]

chat is this real

[fleet stump]

Hu

[weak roost]

You spelt hi wrong

[fleet stump]

Huh

[tough yew]

👋

how are you doing Pierrot?

currently editing the data of the save files to add different helmets and what not

what i got so far

[fleet stump]

Doing good

We busy preparing tokyo and a lot of other things dev side and business side

Im really impressed by the team

[jovial wren]

sex update when? /j

Im hyped to see how this game evolves bro

[near lichen]

Can't wait to finally see the IGN feature 🙌

Also I saw that ex NaturalMotion lead dev follows Half Sword Games, so awesome

[tough yew]

absolutely drooooling to see what the folks are making

[soft osprey]

It’s already here

[near lichen]

The Japanese about to be impressed when they see franky walk in TGS in full knight armor

[tough yew]

maybe ivan... who knows

[fleet stump]

A brand new full body armor was made for Ivan

[soft osprey]

Just to be countered by a man in full samurai armor advertising half katana

[jovial wren]

is the event gunna be live streamed?

[jovial wren]

cuz if so i would def watch the half sword presentation

[fleet stump]

And when I say full body armor, I dont mean cosplay shit

But real armor

[tough yew]

yea its actual armor

[soft osprey]

Will you be having a demonstration of its protective qualities

[tough yew]

did help him out a lil by showing him some good smiths that make some good reconstructions of actual armor

[tender quest]

i'll bring my ghal'maraz

[jovial wren]

this entire game was actually just advertising medievel body armor

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/ghal-maraz-gif-7120420855724100844

[jovial wren]

oh shit thats crazy

[fleet stump]

Not spoiling the end result

But it was forged for him

[tough yew]

amazing stuff, can't wait to see it in good condition

[silk bolt]

Somebody know a game like half sword??

[fleet stump]

Team is due to visit medieval castles to help on level design

[tough yew]

oh yeah didn't galaxy visit one the other day? I remember him showing a few screenshots of that

[jovial wren]

half sword

peak medievel

[tough yew]

also a museum to collect a few references for the arms and armor

[silk bolt]

But like multiplayer

[jovial wren]

holy shit thats insane, i did not know how much effort the devs put into realism!

[gray crag]

Unpopular opinion : full body armor fights with swords is boring as hell

[fleet stump]

Yeah Ivan being loremaster, they are rly serious about you guys playing historically accurate armors, weapons, environments...

Even if its to disembowel willies or play football with brains (soon)

[tough yew]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1271632822372925491/Fence_Throw.gif

[fleet stump]

In the playtest, full body without gore, injuries and material resistance is basically tank vs tank

[gray crag]

Yeah

[tough yew]

ivan knows what he's talking about

[fleet stump]

Once a few systems are added...full body will be different.

[gray crag]

If i spend 100.000€ over the curse of one month, would that help the company

[fleet stump]

Not really, why?

Playtesting helps

[jovial wren]

sick, cuz right now its just "whoever falls over first instantly dies, no other way to win unless you get really damn lucky"

[gray crag]

Just wanted to know

[fleet stump]

Aye

[gray crag]

Alright

[fleet stump]

But lets say that if you get stun damage

Or destructible pieces

[gray crag]

https://youtube.com/shorts/NgZXCipzMxs?si=X-kx2dwvWOJl2jpf

[fleet stump]

The meta changes completely

[tough yew]

brain damage

[jovial wren]

are you saying you can destroy armor????? cuz if so that is so hype

[gray crag]

If only there was a way to make stabbing more humane with the controls

It's insanely hard/awkward

[fleet stump]

Lots to be made folks

You got 5% of the game rn, just basic systems.

[tough yew]

pretty sure they're gonna work on that and the combat in general in the later months/years

[gray crag]

Gimme new playtest 2.0

Or anyone shall make a new mod menu for 2.0

[tough yew]

new guy

[gray crag]

I need my sandbox ngl

[jovial wren]

we definately need a mod menu for the playtest

[gray crag]

I can still dream about a player stats slider that gives you adjustable height and weight so you can either make yourself a fast weak twink or a 300 pounds 6'2 Monster

[jovial wren]

bro did not just refer to a short fast person as a "twink" in a medievel fighting game

i cant wait for the thigh highs update

[tough yew]

there was some talk about a height slider, could definitely be a thing later on

[gray crag]

Let's goo

But make weight based on height then guys :))

As a tall guy myself i need something to relate to

[jovial wren]

gyat slider when?

[gray crag]

Reject modernity brother

[jovial wren]

fire picture, you should decrease brightness though

[gray crag]

But indeed the playtest feels like a triple a game compared to the normal demo, it's an insane improvement

[jovial wren]

ikr

[tough yew]

here's an alt

just lowers the brightness I guess

[gray crag]

Unfortunately this version of UE is harder to mod or something

I doubt we will get anything like it, if only the devs added some dev menu :)))

[jovial wren]

a dev menu would be cool

[gray crag]

Go add it asap@tough yew

[jovial wren]

bro in the demo i got jumpscared so bad while holding an axe that i spun around and instantly cut off the enemys head, the enemy started grabbing at their once preasent neck

[eager ether]

Mohamed Ali out here

[gray crag]

True another thing about boxing

We need like, not such a goofy way of boxing

Make it more weighty.

Take rdr2 for example

[jovial wren]

hes being taken to the time out corner (im going to beat his skull in with a hammer cuz he was naughty)

[low drum]

is this playtest?

[jovial wren]

we made it to the time out corner

[eager ether]

Yes

[jovial wren]

I call this one "willie regrets"

shit i forgot vitgnet

[severe seal]

he seemed happy doing it

[low drum]

i requested access, looks promising

[severe seal]

i mean rdr2 is animation not physics

[gray crag]

Yeah true

[severe seal]

it still has great physics tho

[gray crag]

Btw is there any way to change like some basic stuff like player walk speed somewhere in the files @tough yew

[severe seal]

playtest or demo

[tough yew]

not that I think of

[near lichen]

The audience will be looking at them like it's godzilla vs king Kong

[severe seal]

thats the reason they will never add katana to half sword

[devout hinge]

i like imagining franky and someone else will duel on stage before revealing halfsword

[sinful raven]

btw whats the white faction supposed to be

[worn heron]

It definitely can haha!

[jolly gorge]

its halfsword time

[lament dew]

what are some good game settings to use?

[soft osprey]

Warhammer inquisitor

[low drum]

How long does it usually takes to get access to the play test

[graceful scarab]

did you not read faq they said in mins or days

[jolly gorge]

im too good at halfsword

[rancid night]

hey guys is it normal that at the beginning of spoilance and carnage rounds the character stays idle for a second?

it doesn't respond for a second and you get rushed and killed

[lament dew]

what game settings do you guys use? not sure whats the most fun

[rancid night]

everythings unchanged

didnt touch anything

[south quartz]

how do I play fisticuffs?

[tough yew]

request the play test on steam and wait for a little, and a side note it isn't only fist play, there's classes with different arms and armor that you can choose via the icons of peasants and knights

[south quartz]

Thats so cool thanks bro

[gray crag]

Is the locked one a king or something?

[tough yew]

i like to call it the saint tier

[sharp moat]

hello, I just started playing the game and i've seen videos where people are in a really bright map but I always spawn in a dark one, can someone tell me how to get the other one ?

[devout hinge]

request the playtest from the steam page

[worn heron]

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 420,000 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 #faq , and you can ask the mods for help too!

[jolly gorge]

so thats the demo, you gotta request playtest from steam page

[soft osprey]

Wdym what? I stole your access.

I’ll do it to your gore too if you don’t watch your tone

[worn heron]

Oh were you serious about waiting to get accepted but just joking about applying over a year ago lol

[graceful scarab]

yes

[worn heron]

yeah because we are using steams playtest system, we cannot accept people automatically, we may have to just ditch their playtest system because of the sheer amount of people joining. We have had over 450,000 people join the playtest so far.

everybody will be accepted within a day after applying

[graceful scarab]

YES

[worn heron]

if it's been a couple hours, check your steam library and search up "playtest". It will be automatically added to your steam library under Half Sword Playtest when you get an email from the devs.

[graceful scarab]

ok

[stone barn]

Spin 😄

[boreal path]

you cannot

[devout hinge]

when its done

[dusky pilot]

Oh, this is why I was getting memory error..

My dumbo butt was using Direct x12 and I guess it was too much for my RTX

I have 16gb of ram.

I was error regarding GPU ram

Which I only have 8gb off my 3060Ti

[soft osprey]

Dx12 is the biggest cause of crashes for the playtest. If you crash odds are very high you have to switch to dx11

[dusky pilot]

Not that much ram tbh. only 1,2gb

It just take a lot of GPU resources

Even in battle, I'll try other gamemode brb

Depending on games yeah, but UE5 takes a lot of resourced if badly optimized

[sacred apex]

theres ass on my screen

can we make this a feature

[dusky pilot]

How the fuck you get that much ram usage?

I barely go above 2gb

Using Dx12?

And you game crashed as I can see here.

Either way the error message it gives me is a vram allocation and not ram

[graceful scarab]

what for a sec i thought he had no arms

[sacred apex]

no

he has arms but hes naked

[graceful scarab]

i know

[sacred apex]

no weiner 💔

[kind vessel]

no update

guh

[feral walrus]

are you able to play more than just the dark space in the steam demo? the stuff in the trailer?

or is it just in the playtests?

[fallow ginkgo]

playtest can be requested on their page

[feral walrus]

do many people get given it?

[fallow ginkgo]

afaik everyone

wishlist fast-tracks it

[feral walrus]

oh nice

how long does it take?

[fallow ginkgo]

dont take my word for it tho
but after requesting it's between 1-24hrs

[cursive gate]

i'm in the demo and i'm trying to disassemble someone into as many pieces as psosible, any tips

[opal sundial]

keep hitting them

simple as that

[thick valley]

Does does the Playtest not have blood?

[soft osprey]

Wait! I have something for you

[thick valley]

ah okay makes sense

[slow anchor]

Damn, my fps on epic settings just doubled and I don't know why

[sullen arch]

I think its more blades need a buff

[neon mantle]

Didn't beg hard enough

[ripe ibex]

how do you get full armor in demo?

[soft osprey]

You have to get far enough

Full armor is around boss 5-6

[hardy stream]

get gud

(i havent gotten full armor yet)

[ripe ibex]

theres more bosses????

i only been to the guy whit the scythe

[soft osprey]

Yeah there’s 6 total

[long sandal]

[muted tree]

I second this

There's cuckold for starters

[long sandal]

ragamuffin and hedgeborn

[muted tree]

Coward too

[frank scarab]

also eggard

[cold cliff]

[ripe ibex]

[loud river]

Gotta keep goin

[loud river]

September 26th - 29th, Tokyo Game Show

[pliant plume]

reggamuffin as well

and harlot and coward

[cold cliff]

no now

[devout hinge]

What did you do

[slow anchor]

Nothing

[devout hinge]

Impossible

[slow anchor]

I always play on high and just changed it to epic for a picture

[devout hinge]

The sun must've hit wacky and changed a 0 to a 1, overclocking your GPU to unseen levels even by nvidia

[devout hinge]

Something something bottleneck

[slow anchor]

A space particle hit my pc and it optimized the game

[devout hinge]

Cruelty squad art goes hard

[light idol]

Yo

How do i get pass the dark part

Basically the tutorial

[sullen arch]

You dont

[light idol]

.

[sullen arch]

Apply for the playtest its fun

[light idol]

I applied

[light idol]

Just waiting

[sullen arch]

I got mine in like an hour

[fallow ginkgo]

[brazen surge]

that butt pierce was just rude

[zenith sigil]

We need Swiss or German halberds on the game, that will be so cool

[hot agate]

Big update is coming around the end of the month eh?

[light idol]

is this aura chat

[gusty junco]

bro im using a 1650 running perfectly fine

[wise halo]

This is literally normal

[worn heron]

I hope you enjoy my friend!

[wise halo]

aRE YOU MURICAN

sorry caps

[worn heron]

nope

Canadian

[wise halo]

Pfew

[worn heron]

For sure, you'll enjoy it! The playtest upgraded physics and combat overhaul is amazing

Even without gore, it's incredible imo

[shy maple]

how do yall deal with spear mfs

theyre like tarkov scavs with their accuracy for some reason

[soft osprey]

Shield, knock the spear to the left and charge in.
Or, side step and charge in.
Or, scythe, knock up the spear and slice

[shy maple]

yeah i usually use 2 handed

and just knock up the spear

[south urchin]

Hi guys can someone help me. How do i play one vs one fist fight in game?

[soft osprey]

You have to request access to the playtest through the steam store page and then wait up to 28 hours

[south urchin]

Ohh thank you men

[subtle star]

Is the playtest or the demo the "main attraction"

[native ridge]

how do i get myself out of the black void area?

[subtle star]

How do you get urself into the black void area?

[native ridge]

demo

[opal sundial]

You don’t. The place you see that’s outside in an arena is the playtest.

whereas the void is the demo.

[native ridge]

how do i get the playtest?

[soft osprey]

Scroll up a bit

[opal sundial]

You can request access to in on the steam page

[native ridge]

i found it and did it

this wont go away

[soft osprey]

Yeah happens to some people

Ask in general chat

Or wait for a mod

And ask them here

[native ridge]

k

how long should i have to wait for the playtest?

[soft osprey]

1min-28 hours

Typically pretty fast

[native ridge]

k

doing the demo is kinda hard

[opal sundial]

Yeah Franky and the CM are online right now. Should be pretty fast.

[viscid leaf]

For me it only really took like 10 min

[native ridge]

k

has anyone really beaten the demo?

[opal sundial]

I have. Multiple times

[viscid leaf]

But it won't start even though the demo works just fine

[viscid leaf]

I just did

[opal sundial]

Is there an error message?

[native ridge]

i cant saddly

streamin me playing demo in the vc rn

[viscid leaf]

No that's the strange part

[opal sundial]

Huh. What are your PC specifications?

[native ridge]

tips on what to grab?

[viscid leaf]

I checked the requirements online and it's all okay with my specs

[opal sundial]

there’s no set weapon that’s better or worse.

[opal sundial]

There’s other reasons why it might not work because of your specs than just “my specs meet/don’t meet the requirements”

[viscid leaf]

What are some of those?

[opal sundial]

Like known issues with your graphics driver. Known issues with your CPU/GPU, etc

[left nexus]

guys

[opal sundial]

Or that your GPU/CPU is just known to be buggy as fuck

[left nexus]

is there a spawn tool ?

And can someone tell me some tips

[opal sundial]

For the demo? Not officially. But there is a mod that allows you to. For the playtest, no.

[left nexus]

How do you get mods?

[opal sundial]

Nexus Mods

[viscid leaf]

I don't think thats the issue I'm going to check with all that again though thanks for letting me know

[left nexus]

Where is that?

[native ridge]

wow

[opal sundial]

Just search it up.

[left nexus]

k

[opal sundial]

It may be something with your RAM also

[native ridge]

i got the playtest now

[left nexus]

what is better

demo or playtest

[opaque creek]

is there a mod that you can restart a match after dying in playtest

[native ridge]

demo is like waves, playtest is like the main game

[left nexus]

How do you get playtest?

[viscid leaf]

Yeah I just never had this happen with other games so I'm going to check for problems with all that

[native ridge]

demo is fun cause you can grab weapons and gear

[opal sundial]

Playtest by a mile. Looks better. And handles better.

[opaque creek]

playtest for footwork

but the menus are not good so far

[native ridge]

demo for if you like wave like stuff and freeish roam

[left nexus]

how do you get play test though

[opaque creek]

request access on steam page

[opal sundial]

It’s just hard to go back to the demo once you’ve played the playtest

[opaque creek]

under the demo

[jovial wren]

go to the steam page and hit "request playtest"

[native ridge]

ill likely play both cause i wanna beat the demo

[jovial wren]

youll get accepted pretty soon

[left nexus]

where?

[jovial wren]

on the halfsword steam store page

[native ridge]

eyes?

[opal sundial]

If you do play the playtest, I’ll guarantee the demo will eventually start feeling wrong after a while, no matter how much you like it right now. You’ll see what I mean.

[left nexus]

Just requested

[native ridge]

that looks scary

[opaque creek]

demo mechanically is not as fun

tbh

[opal sundial]

The weapon handling just feels wrong. Like stiff, and less controlled compared to the playtest.

[jovial wren]

i feel like its really easy to get bored of the playtest after a while cuz its just a lot of the same

[opaque creek]

the movement especially

[amber sable]

In the play test do you even fight real people, sorry for the dumb question

[opaque creek]

because there are ways to abuse the movement physics in playtest that makes spacing easier

[opal sundial]

no

[jovial wren]

its ais but the ai can be pretty realistic

[amber sable]

Thought so, it just feels like sometimes they’re on crack and others it’s just a free win

[opaque creek]

The AI is insane at fisticuffs

[amber sable]

Fr

[opaque creek]

no stamina required for them it feels like

[jovial wren]

i do feel like in the ffa game modes they target the player unfairly

[opal sundial]

The AI will seem erratic because it depends on how you play rounds mostly. Like the AI will instantly take advantage of mistakes, but if you don’t make any/don’t make any big ones then it’s easy.

[steep cosmos]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/iDquuEMqVWWN-BYgC/d13375bvee0J?invite=cr-MSxGWjgsMTkyNDgwODc4LA i guess

[opal sundial]

They have stamina. They’ll eventually back off for a few seconds if you defend enough.

[opaque creek]

Thats helpful to know

[amber sable]

Gotcha thanks, I’m assuming the main game would be player vs player?

[jovial wren]

like ill be fighting someone and the enemys will be fighting eachother and suddenly they'll all start ganging on me

[opal sundial]

Unlikely.

[amber sable]

Oh really that’s surprising

[opaque creek]

Also an issue that you can get permanently exhausted for no reason and have to hold G

[jovial wren]

thats from getting hit in the head

i believe

[opaque creek]

so brutal

pvp wll be brutal

[opal sundial]

The game is so dependent on physics that it’ll be hard to sync it up between two different devices. Like one movement might play out differently on your opponents screen compared to your screen since the physics are non-deterministic

[left nexus]

crazy

[opaque creek]

i cant imagine this with latency

[amber sable]

I feel like the game wouldn’t have replayablity then, just fighting AI the exact same would get boring after at max 10 hours. You’d just know everything

[jovial wren]

you would have to have near perfect wifi for online

[amber sable]

Yea

[craggy ore]

I have 100 hours on the playtest and havent got bored yet

[jovial wren]

Lmao no, i have 33 hours on the playtest and ive only had the game for a week

[opal sundial]

They’re planning to add more maps, customization, and a story mode. So basically everything Half Sword Gauntlet had (except for the story mode)

[opaque creek]

i would have half my playtime if i didnt have to exit to menu every death

[steep cosmos]

whats the full screen button?

[steep cosmos]

that is insanely annoying im ngl

[amber sable]

Gotcha

Alright that’s cool thanks

[steep cosmos]

wish under menu it said "restart: or "retry"

[opaque creek]

Hope devs know

demo had it right with restart menu buton

[steep cosmos]

takes like 30 seconds each time

[tender quest]

hold g then hit esc and it will surrender while paused

[steep cosmos]

ig that will help

sometimes i just insta die tho

[opal sundial]

I do wish they added a retry button yes. But also, having that extra pain of going back to the menu when you die adds extra encouragement to do better in the rounds, and not die.

[opaque creek]

if i dont get destroyed quick enough i can do the pause surrender sure

[jovial wren]

oh i didnt know that thats sick

[feral dew]

Why do people keep begging for multiplayer when they know this is meant to be a singleplayer game

[jovial wren]

probs gunna be patched at the end of the month

[steep cosmos]

i play this game like a sandbox tho. i js wanna get in and fight

[opal sundial]

If you really wanna do that, just download the trainer mod for the demo.

[jovial wren]

I have gotten decent at the game so i tend to make like challenges, like using only the shield or trying to throw them out of the ring without weapons

[opaque creek]

the mods for this game will carry

[native ridge]

is this anything?

[craggy ore]

No

[opal sundial]

We speculate it’s another tier, it just hasn’t been fully developed yet

[native ridge]

maybe you unlock it somehow

secret

[opal sundial]

You don’t.

The playtest has no secrets of any kind.

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-donkey-its-top-secret-top-secret-secret-gif-24816394

[opal sundial]

And no, I’m not joking. It’s truly just a playtest, the devs are certainly not looking to add secrets before adding vital aspects of the game

[steep cosmos]

how i do that?

also what is it

[subtle star]

Ive been having trouble doing downward hits, anyoen have any advice

[jovial wren]

go to the nexus page for halfsword and download the mod installer

[opal sundial]

It’s on nexus mods. Just install the mod named “Trainer Mod Installer” or something like that. And that mod installs the trainer mod for you with a literal click.

[steep cosmos]

i have to go into files or something

[native ridge]

dragging a man

[jovial wren]

raise your weapon and hit alt and it will swing downward into the swab position

[steep cosmos]

thats how it is for b&s

[opal sundial]

No. That’s what’s nice about the installer. You literally just click a button when you open the mod installer

[jovial wren]

no you just hit one button

[subtle star]

W

[subtle star]

Also in the keybinds it says rmb x2 to stab or something, it doesn't seem to do anything though

[opal sundial]

It does stab, just like holding alt stabs.

[jovial wren]

it should thrust ur weapon forward

[opal sundial]

Mods pull up that one clip of Willie fucking the other Willie in the ass (yes this is a real clip that the CM himself sent)

[subtle star]

Ohhhh. Its probably not working because ive been holding alt when clicking

[steep cosmos]

im lost with the trainer thing

where do i go from here

[opal sundial]

You open the folder that says “trainer mod” I assume? Seems pretty straightforward to me

[jovial wren]

you downloaded the wrong thing

[tender quest]

just tried it and it feels much weaker then my usual method of doing overhead slashes

[jovial wren]

its called like mod installer or smth

[opal sundial]

Nvm. Yeah

[jovial wren]

yeah but it is much easier

[opal sundial]

You installed the mod itself, not the installer

The installer makes it easier than manually installing the mod

[jovial wren]

its litteraly one click with the installer

[steep cosmos]

said i installed it
