Is there gonna be a campaign?

tough yew
#

an "adventure mode" that has you building up you're character from the ground up

jolly gorge
#

Yesss, that's what I was hoping for

#

Literally why I love the demo so much

tough yew
#

and an arena mode as well to pair with it, that's probably gonna be expanded

jolly gorge
#

I hope I'll be able to buy the game once it fully drops

is the playtest or the demo more similar to how the game will play on release?

I've had a new and fun bug that I hope stays in game

where sometimes the enemies flop

and they jump in the air like fuckin mario smashing his forehead on a brick

weak roost
#

I’m all for it, if it’s done right. But some pretty impressive tech would need to come out or be developed.

low meteor
#

latency would definitely be a nightmare in correspondence with the physics, but the duel layout if done right would be very interesting to see in pvp. with players developing different strategies and this game possibly being a competitive league. so youre right, a rough thing to make happen, but i think it would be far more worth it to try

cerulean needle
#

Its literally just a matter of sync of the game between players in tune with the physics engine. I'm going to play this game every day multiplayer or not

loud river
#

Right now, the current MP angle is local co-op, with the potential of streaming remotely. Online network play remains to be seen. Split screen has been made to work though.

loud river
# cerulean needle Its literally just a matter of sync of the game between players in tune with the...

It's more of an issue than you think. Multiplayer for these kinds of games is finnicky at best, and impossible at worst.

The big problem with physics based network games is that game physics is non-deterministic which means you can't accurately predict what location and rotation some physics object will be in the future due to variations in frame rate. Multiplayer games need to replicate the location, rotation, velocity and other physics properties to each player for each frame which can require a lot of bandwidth. The more physics objects you have the more bandwidth is required. Also, the time between when the server sends something and when the client receives it means that the physics data is already out of date so you wind up with physics objects that look fine on the server having jitter and collision issues on the client.

cerulean needle
#

I wasn't downplaying the difficulty of getting it to work, the biggest hurdle is sync of the physics engine so its kept up at real time

low meteor
loud river
#

Yeah, it ain’t impossible, but right now local play is the primary multiplayer angle being considered, and is all but assured to happen.

idle nexus
#

So is the long stick with spikes on it a goedendag, a morningstar, or what?

is there a new version coming out or something? I keep seeing youtubers playing a version of halfsword that seems way improved with a pile of different maps to pick from

gusty kestrel

#

The playtest

gusty kestrel
#

im assuming what he's talking abt is the playtest

sick igloo
#

Is 1 map and like 4 game modes

gusty kestrel
#

ah

#

oh my brain did NOT read

#

sorry for misinformation 🤭

I'm in the playtest and having a blast. This is what I'm talking about

ah

#

yeah idk

On the playtest download

gusty kestrel

#

thanks

#

yep, the beta is in fact closed. I dont have it either

sick igloo
#

I dont

#

So idk

#

Unless they modified it

agile wasp
#

That's the itch version I think

idle nexus
#

If that video above is the closed beta then it doesn't really look as advanced as the current playtest tbh

#

In terms of weapon control I mean

agile wasp
#

There're gifs on the itch.io page that match the maps in that video, and they mention in an old steam post that it's a different version to the playtest and the demo

umbral tide
#

there's a glitch that when you lose a fight you get kicked out the game

#

I don't know if that's only for me but it happens

sick igloo

But i haven't experienced it

thanks

what's this long mace thing even called hmmz

supple cedar
#

mace

gusty kestrel
#

he is NOT happy

smoky quail
#

so far I've learned that, unless you're against a fully armored opponent, blunt weapons are absolutely dog shit

gusty kestrel
#

yeah

lament wraith
drifting pine
#

ive put 130 hours into the demo and i just found out that the playtest is a different thing than the demo lmao

smoky quail
#

I hit the boi like 5 times in the knee with a long mace and literally nothing happens, meanwhile if I did that with a Vogue or even with the non-stabby version of the Billhook, they immidieatly get downed

smoky quail
lament wraith
#

the scythe isnt in the playtest is it?

smoky quail
#

farmers truly were broken back in the old days

smoky quail
lament wraith
drifting pine
#

lmao i hope i can get into the playtest. game is so much fun i cant believe ive been missing that lolllll

#

i love that scythe

lament wraith
#

slashing weapons were so op in the demo rofl

smoky quail
drifting pine
#

DONT SPOIK ME ON THE META IN THE PLAYTEST

#

it was so much fun testing out the effectiveness and handling of each weapon

smoky quail
lament wraith
drifting pine
#

why would i

#

a naked man has nothing to lose

idle crane
#

NO META JUST WILLIE BEATING FUN

gusty kestrel
#

this is how a real man holds a sword

smoky quail
#

it's literally so heavy that trying to parry it probably won't work, and you'll also get stabbed by the tiny spears in the process, only way I've been able to beat it is by baiting out an attack since the recovery on it on a miss is kinda slow

lament wraith
smoky quail
#

if only the other end of the Voulge also had a sharp end to it Kappa

lament wraith
#

if the voulge was barbed like the goedendag is atm itd be so very meta

smoky quail
#

nah go barb the sharp billhook and you're cooking

#

maximum range on that shit

lament wraith
#

long stick that ouchies

#

petition to make the billhook even longer

smoky quail
#

as long as Willie actually holds that shit properly

lament wraith
#

we NEED an anti cavalry pike

smoky quail
#

isn't that also the basic spear and the one wish sharp sides

lament wraith
#

uhh yeah i think so

#

afaik thats supposed to be an earspoon/rogantina spear

lament wraith
smoky quail
#

doing overheads with spears against a shield user is always rewarding

lament wraith
#

polearms are overall just solid, ive found myself using halfsword around pavises

smoky quail
#

unless you're already using the goedendag , then just swing through their defenses, the shield can't save them KEKW

lament wraith
#

using goedendag really does feel like a cheatcode

#

its like one of those weapons youd get in resident evil for beating the game

smoky quail
#

only real problem with it is that sometimes it gets stuck in their limbs, but they don't actually die from it

gusty kestrel
#

yeah uh

lament wraith
#

peasant duels are pretty fun all things considered

smoky quail
#

Pitchfork supremacy

smoky quail
#

I want to like the hoe, but it kinda just feels so weird to try to maneuver it around

gusty kestrel
#

why is the aspect ratio

lament wraith
#

the short spear is a lot of fun when it doesnt get stuck on my body

#

hoplite grind never ends

smoky quail
#

I want to like the short spear, but why ever use it over the spear that has blades on it's sides KEKW

lament wraith
smoky quail
#

I guess the short spear is the only spear that can be used one handed

gusty kestrel
#

what the hell

smoky quail
#

never really liked the spear + shield loadout

woven nexus
#

Goedendag is good but it looses to good footwork+ a solid parry

#

Remember they are worse at spiking you when you are in their face

smoky quail
gusty kestrel
woven nexus
#

Aim for spiked part with parry

smoky quail
#

unless you're using the biggest shield, trying to block it is probably just going to get you stabbed by the tiny spikes

woven nexus
#

It binds

#

Active parry i should say

#

Swing at their weapon a bit

King of the Willies, interesting. I've received a new title

rancid sundial
#

how do i get playtest

#

im trying to get fist play

keen vault
#

It Can take between a few minutes to 24h

cerulean needle
jolly gorge
#

He got right up though

cerulean needle
#

If you played this game long enough, you'd know some people don't die instantly when hit in the throat

#

Thanks for the feedback

jolly gorge
#

I did play it long enough and it didn't seem like killing to me 🤩 You're welcome btw

cerulean needle
#

Excellent response

jolly gorge
#

Wha

cerulean needle
jolly gorge
#

Want to duke it out in Mordhau till it comes out?

#

Can show you some sick kills there

cerulean needle
#

I dont play arcade games

jolly gorge
#

Is this supposed to be insulting the game? don't get it

cerulean needle
#

no

#

It's an arcade style fighting game with static animations

#

just like chivalry

jolly gorge
#

Oh i see

cerulean needle
#

I dont find them enjoyable

jolly gorge
#

I mean what else is there like Half Sword that is phsyic based

cerulean needle
#

Not much

trail pivot
#

exanima

cerulean needle
#

yea but i fall asleep playing exanima

jolly gorge
trail pivot
#

yeah i mean i played exanima but half sword is more my type aswell

#

sums it up with how i have 40 hours on exanima and almost 60 hours on half sword, and thats just the gore-less playtest

cerulean needle
jolly gorge
#

I don't know why but i enjoyed the gory one more, i guess because of gore of course and having a level based structure

cerulean needle
#

Yeah but the weapon handling is far worse in the demo

jolly gorge
#

Feels easier

trail pivot
#

once we get the new gore that is gonna be far more extreme, and everything else, itll be perfect

#

the possibilities for brutal kills will be endless, especially on brave stand

mossy kelp
#

how do you slow mo?

unique merlin
#

I just played the play test, and this game blows chivalry and mordhau out of the water

#

It's almost addictive

livid escarp
#

damn why is using an axe unarmored so satisfying

unique merlin
#

Barbarian playstyle

mossy kelp
#

is there a button to slow mo or is that just the clip being slowed down

storm osprey
#

no button to slow mo

#

only available in the itch.io version or with the trainer for demo branch

jolly gorge
#

Gameplay-wise, yeah, way more fun

unique merlin
#

If it only gets better than it is now, this game will replace chiv and mord for me

jolly gorge
#

How are they gonna handle multiplayer is what i'm curious about

storm osprey
#

it definitely gets better than now...

storm osprey
#

local coop yes. multiplayer no

jolly gorge
#

Then it won't be able ro replace Mordhau for me sadly, still gonna sunk in a lot of hours though

storm osprey
#

for multiplayer, the main aspect of the game (physics) would need either removal or heavy tinkering

velvet heron
#

will the next update be released immediately after the tokyo gameshow?

little verge
languid shard
#

I've discovered an interesting move

#

I call it the mordhau punch

#

By locking your sword under the enemy's side, then trying to perform the half sword grip and then swinging your hand to meet the sword, you'll deliver a deadly punch that from what I've found, is effective 7/10

arctic cradle
#

What rank we at for the tokyo show on the stream list?

#

Or how high up are we i guess for better terms

It’s sharp but also heavy so it can easily one shot with helmets

Can’t wait for gore to be added

Probably not

I got accepted into the playtest, when I click the play test (not the demo) it states in the homescreen "Play Demo" even though I downloaded the beta, is that normal?

Game development?

#

It’s not an early access my guy.

fiery vale
#

2 months no update got me like:

flat fern
#

mfw people think a playtest will get regular updates:

#

(their focusing on the blood system at the moment and the playtest is not getting blood)

#

(i think dont take my word on this)

Blood is coming when it’s coming

how do I get better at this game

loud river
#

The pins in the guilds have good lessons

#

The blademaster’s guild is the most fleshed out one for normal combat atm

weak roost
#

Overall, learning the game with the Longsword will let you get a feel for pretty much all of the mechanics

#

Idk why I capitalized longsword

loud river
#

Eh looks cool anyway

#

The Longsword

weak roost
#

At the end of the day, getting a feel for what your character is doing and how the weapons weight is transferred is a good goal to aim for.

loud river
#

Simply learning your spacing and footwork will do a lot, as well as learning to intuit weapon ranges.

#

Polearms get wildly op at higher skill levels.

# final wind i mean this

I think this one was from an old medieval text, though I'm not too sure. Though, Milek does majority of our 2d art, he does a phenomenal job

tawdry solar

Yeah you can one hit kill with polearms at high levels

I know this is more of a game footage thing, but I messed around with the Medal editor/cheap recording equipment and literally made a MOVIE SCENE, with my own voice acting and royalty free orchestral music lololl (not a pro, but I did do theater in high school):

#

the "problem" is that you cant swing mindlessly and kill someone

keen vault
#

Yeah you need to give momentum to the weapon before swinging , and not do large movement

tawdry zodiac
#

mainly those two, i have ran into one other thing but it happened once might have been a me thing, i just randomly died but i have my hud off so i could have just been bleeding out and not realized

idle crane

I think alot of bugs happen from changing tabs so avoid that

Try DX 11 if you it's not already on . And change to fullscreen or bordeless . I had this issue Yesterday. But for the majority of my 15h in game i didn't had any problems
