[silent gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-fortnite-scream-fortnite-dance-gif-4795167745947838865

[last geyser]

Is there a suggestion about guns

Being put in half word

[silent gorge]

early muskets blowing away oppenents would be fun

[neon mantle]

Yes, don't.

[silent gorge]

theres probably some out

[last geyser]

Ok

[broken venture]

No

[last geyser]

Just making some

Sure

[broken venture]

It is a medieval game not colonial game

[neon mantle]

Don't make any

Just. Stow. It.

[last geyser]

I meant sure

Not some

[silent gorge]

there are super old pipe guns

[broken venture]

Super old

You said musket

[neon mantle]

I'll give you a pipe gun

[silent gorge]

idk i just call muskets pipe guns

[broken venture]

Chinesse fireworks

[silent gorge]

all muskets are pipe guns but all pipe guns arent muskets

[neon mantle]

UH nope

[silent gorge]

but all jokes aside itt could be interesting

im just joking

[last geyser]

I think a single shot Arquebus could be cool

[broken venture]

I'd like to have azteca weapons or roman empire weapons

[last geyser]

Like a one use sorta thing

[neon mantle]

I think, no

[broken venture]

Like scatus or gladius

[silent gorge]

definitely

who knows what will be added

the game has a lot of potential for different cultures and weapons

[neon mantle]

Notice how the game isn't in that period

[broken venture]

I will suggest what I just said

[silent gorge]

its a physics based game after all

[neon mantle]

Ah yes. Potential for 15th century europe ok

[last geyser]

Isn’t the game from 1450-80

[silent gorge]

remember kids the opponent cant kill you if you use a door (roman approved)

[broken venture]

Aztecas not

I mean yes

[neon mantle]

What

[broken venture]

Aztecas yes are from that perios

period

BRO

[neon mantle]

Not that location

[broken venture]

HOW DON'T YOU KNOW

[neon mantle]

I know

[silent gorge]

chinese would be cool in the same sense

[broken venture]

Why location has to be important

[neon mantle]

Ok for honor

[broken venture]

or japanesse

[neon mantle]

Because the game is set 15th century europe

And devs have said that's where the game is staying for the foreseeable.

So

[silent gorge]

japanese had some crazy armor but not much great weapons
but by then there are plenty of muskets and stuff

but whatever lets see what the devs do

[neon mantle]

Please continue to waste your time with wishes

[silent gorge]

yes

[neon mantle]

That noone else wishes to hear

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[last geyser]

So it’s only in Germany from 1450-80

[silent gorge]

feature creep is a very real thing

[neon mantle]

Europe

[last geyser]

That’s all that it’s about

Ok

[neon mantle]

Doesn't mean JUST germany

😂😂😂

[last geyser]

On a suggestion thread they said Germany only

So I don’t know who to believe

[neon mantle]

1450's hiter marching in

Fuckin COMENSEHERE good sir

Or whatever

Afaik iirc it's 15th cent europe inc germany/england etc

If it was Germany only, they'd ONLY speak German?

[silent gorge]

i feel like a lot of the wishes are just related to thoughts about concepts that could work in the physics engine

[cerulean needle]

Boy wait till you hear about this concept called immigration

[broken venture]

Who is instagram half sword manager

[silent gorge]

modding tools could serve the same purpose without allowing feature creeps

[last geyser]

Have they said no to bows and crossbows

[broken venture]

Idk

But who is instagram manager

[whole parrot]

Instagram manager?

[broken venture]

Yes

[whole parrot]

HS has an insta?

[last geyser]

They have an official

Yeah

[whole parrot]

I dont use insta so it's news to me

[last geyser]

[cerulean needle]

There is a clear lack of trauma in todays kids

[dense island]

I mean I am also pretty traumatizing ig

[cerulean needle]

It all started with touch tag football

[broken venture]

The only trauma I have is from school, I have 15

[dense island]

I hate that they banned dodgeball in a lot of places

nothing was more fun then tasting that red rubber ball bitch slap you in the lips

[cerulean needle]

Rubber smacking you at mach 1 speed teaches you to dodge

[dense island]

[broken venture]

One day in dodge ball I jumped to dodge a ball and I timed it bad so I step on the ball and I almost made backflip

[tender quest]

@weak roost

[near spruce]

Sweet vengeance

[acoustic stirrup]

finally made it to the end of the demo

its kinda weird after

theres no music

[serene solstice]

does anyone know if the original DEMO uses dx12?

[bitter zinc]

Does the steam demo have slo mo like the itch.io demo?

[tough yew]

nada

mod trainer has it as a feature so, you can check that out

[tender quest]

the tiers are on the main menu

[tough yew]

kickstarter's canceled, what you're looking for is the play test for steam, simply request it and wait for a lil.

[naive iron]

stabbing with the candlestick is grand

[tough yew]

oh yeah to also note, gore's not on that version as its not finished and will be coming back soontm. Also as militus mentioned there are icons on the right side of the menu, those are the classes.

[rapid bronze]

alright

thats it

WHERE IS MY GORE

I WANT GORE

[tender quest]

this cheeky mfer faked me out

[rapid bronze]

idk how you are so good with the sword

[tender quest]

[tough yew]

[fast bramble]

[tough yew]

no lifting visor

[elfin frigate]

[fast bramble]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[tough yew]

that is the only exception

[fast bramble]

Soon

Yeah we need more viable helmets and/or visor lifting

[rapid bronze]

when is soooooooooonn

plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[soft osprey]

Gore isn’t real

[rapid bronze]

goreeeeeeeeeee

[tough yew]

its something that'll be added soon eventually

[limber holly]

what is everyones favorite version?

[tough yew]

play test imo

[limber holly]

ive really been digging demo

[fast bramble]

Soonday, the soonth of Sune, twenty soonty soon

[soft osprey]

The playtest

[rapid bronze]

ah okay

thanks for clearing up the confusion baby rubber

awesome name btw

[soft osprey]

Baby rubber

[tough yew]

demo's good but it's locomotion/combat just doesn't hit hard as the play test.

[fast bramble]

Playtest is the best one, I wouldn't mind having the abyss from the demo back but they're working on that

[fast bramble]

God maybe I should change my name back to regular text, everyone keeps calling me that

[tough yew]

though fret not as the abyss will make it's way back on the game, way later though I think.

[fast bramble]

It's Lady Rubber

Lmao

[rapid bronze]

OH LMAO

yes please change it

it really looks like a fucking B lmao

[soft osprey]

That text is very easy to misread! Like mantis

[limber holly]

yeah idk i really like destruction in games the demo just hits for that reason

love the customizability of loadouts tho

[soft osprey]

Playtest gore will come soon! I know it

[fast bramble]

Gore will come soon, the gameplay loop of the demo (going through an endless abyss with waves of enemies) will also come soon

[elfin frigate]

so theyre just gonna rerelease the demo?

[limber holly]

nice yeah im excited just found the game a few days ago and already have like 10 hours in demo

[tough yew]

no

[fast bramble]

From my understanding it'll be an additional gamemode alongside the playtest arena but with playtest physics and gore, it's an overhaul

[weak roost]

Sketchy random Korean app, can find it on Reddit

[nimble delta]

@tender quest

[soft osprey]

I’m very excited

[tough yew]

the game isn't just gonna be the abyss and arena [both will be expanded with a lot of neat stuff] its also gonna include the adventure mode where all the cool stuff happens I guess

[fast bramble]

We're only seeing like 5% of the final game right now

[fast bramble]

We're testing it piece by piece

[tender quest]

sketchy you say?

[tough yew]

ovrdth didnt get kidnapped so its free game

[weak roost]

What did I miss

[tough yew]

nothin' lmao, just some random joke.

[last geyser]

Is there any other things that should be anticipated OTHER than gore in the next update

Like other features, gameplay improvements, etc

[tough yew]

potentially yea

it cant be just the gore

[last geyser]

Ok since I’ve only heard about the dumbass gore shit so i didn’t know if it was only gonna be that

[winter quarry]

Supposed to be out this week right?

[tough yew]

potentially, potentially not

Pierrot initially teased something like that to come off this week

[soft osprey]

We have until Sunday before we can riot

[tough yew]

the guys who will riot

will be shot with arquebuses

[weak roost]

Saturday.

Starting tomorrow I am adding a third rabble.

Rabble rabble.

[tough yew]

yknow someone needs to make a channel that uploads videos daily on HS, twist is they make videos of "day ___ since the last update"

[weak roost]

“Day 1 of letting the spiky bat hit me in the back until Pierrot stops giving me blue balls”

[tough yew]

now that’s the good stuff.

ALBERD

YEHAHAHAHAHA

[alpine lynx]

thats a poleaxe goob

[broken venture]

No

[restive glade]

yeah but its still somewhat of a halberd

[broken venture]

Literally the deffinition of alberd is that

Google told me alberd is a type lf poleaxe but ChatGPT said google was wrong

I trust more google

So

[alpine lynx]

a halberd is a polearm

[alpine lynx]

also the game does have a halberd

[restive glade]

also its called halberd not alberd

[alpine lynx]

but its not that

[broken venture]

ty

[alpine lynx]

the halberd is in peasant tier the two handed axe looking thing

[restive glade]

my guy

it is a halberd

[broken venture]

the seconds one is literally this

GAME HAS HALBERD

F*** YOU WHO SAID NO

[alpine lynx]

thats a poleaxe

[alpine lynx]

fuck you too

[broken venture]

Its not

It has axe head a pike in the other side and a blade in the top

[alpine lynx]

a hammerhead and an axehead

a poleaxe

[broken venture]

No bro

You stupid

Look closely

Omg

[alpine lynx]

a hammerhead dumbass

[broken venture]

That's a pike

Lemme show you it closely

See?

A pike, a axehead and a blade on the top

If you say no I will send you norkorean fireworks

You have nothing to say?

Accept there are halberds

[alpine lynx]

this is a halberd

[broken venture]

And that's too

There are different types of halberd

Omg

Lemme call someone

@hollow mason Help me

Bros saying there is no halberd

[alpine lynx]

there is just not that

[broken venture]

THEYRE LITERALLY THE SAME

[alpine lynx]

how the fuck are those the same

[broken venture]

Stop saying no bro there are

[alpine lynx]

YES THERE ARE

BUT ITS NOT THAT

[opal sundial]

this is the most brainrotted conversation known to man

[broken venture]

One is older and the other is younger

[alpine lynx]

real

[broken venture]

Let me show you it in a better way

[restive garnet]

you srsly ping a mod, to help with this?

use google?

[broken venture]

He keeps saying no

Omg

@alpine lynx these 3 are halberds

[alpine lynx]

yes

but the axe you showed is not a halberd

halberds have different axeheads

[broken venture]

This is halberd too

[alpine lynx]

a poleaxe

[broken venture]

Just the same of the middle halberd but the axehead not curved

[restive garnet]

yes

in game its called pole axe

[broken venture]

Yes

But actually it is halberd

It doesn't have a hammer head

It has a pike

And a axehead

[alpine lynx]

halberds have funny looking blades

late 15th century halberd

15th century swiss halberd

poleaxe that looks similar to that one in game

@broken venture wake up

[calm zealot]

Halberds typically have a longer shaft and bulkier more hatchet like head that flows. Point is, halberd is usually chunkier and has longer shaft, doesn't have a convex cutting blade like a poleaxe does

Well sometimes it do, but the function of the hook and length of spikes blades whatever are different to pollaxe. And longer shaft on halberd

[calm zealot]

That spike in the back is for puncturing whereas a halberd spike is for pulling and moving

ALSO poleaxe has a smaller blade size, halberd are typically big af

[near spruce]

Halberd when?

https://youtu.be/92_TKngfYFQ?si=Q7QdW5Vm2Zjk81Ti

[broken venture]

I had to go

[broken venture]

its for them to have less weight and better combat for who is using it

And manoubreavility

[broken venture]

ik

In conclusion there are poleaxe and halabard in the game

Halabards depending in how you look at it

Bc there are halabards that are a lot similar to poleaxes

[calm zealot]

Nah there's a voulge tho, no halberd

[neon mantle]

[idle crane]

You either used a voulge or a pollaxes. Not a halberd

[broken venture]

😭

[tough yew]

there are halberds in the play test

this guy was trying to hit me with one with malicious intent.

[alpine lynx]

it doesnt have the funny pike thing on the other side of it i think thats a different polearm

[brittle robin]

Blood

[tough yew]

wouldnt count on it

[brittle robin]

That's a bardiche

[alpine lynx]

no thats not a bardiche

thats a different polearm

[tough yew]

[brittle robin]

Yes it's a bardiche

[tough yew]

simple as

[brittle robin]

No it's not a halberd

[alpine lynx]

no i dont think thats a polearm either

idk what it is

[brittle robin]

It's either a voulge or bardiche or glaive. Clearly not a halberd

[tough yew]

using modern art gg

[alpine lynx]

yes its definitely not a halberd

[alpine lynx]

?

[brittle robin]

Back in the day they would just call it a polearm. Of course using modern terms because we like things in boxes.

[tough yew]

https://royalarmouries.org/collection/object/object-1281

[alpine lynx]

ip grabber

[brittle robin]

Calls it a Voulge right there. Ez clap

Not a halberd

[tough yew]

[alpine lynx]

the one in game doesnt have the spearhead thingy behind the blade so i think thats a voulge

It's. Not. A. Halberd.

[wind charm]

Here's a clip of a how a billhook can actually look good in combat

[tough yew]

orr there's actually variants and not one simple piece!!!!

[alpine lynx]

yes that

the variant in HS playtest is a voulge

[alpine lynx]

zamn

[tough yew]

never contact me again

[brittle robin]

You are all wrong. That is clearly not a halberd. It's a voulge.

[wind charm]

that is a metal thing innit?

[alpine lynx]

no youre all wrong thats clearly a spear!11

[restive garnet]

obv a cleaver on a stick

[idle crane]

See when i said these were halberds when playtest first dropped. Alot of people were saying they are voulges

[brittle robin]

Cuz they ain't halberds.

[alpine lynx]

false... mantic said so

[idle crane]

idk what to believe anymore. Definitions are all over the place 🤷‍♂️

[tough yew]

you could believe the official render by ivan himself

[alpine lynx]

are those going to be in 0.4

[brittle robin]

Just cause he made the render doesn't mean he knows what it's called

[idle crane]

As ivan says here the names are for organisation purpose. They may not be necessarily accurate

[brittle robin]

Call it whatever you want. But the real intellectuals will know that it is not a halberd, and it is in fact a voulge.

[alpine lynx]

what the hell is a forward

[idle crane]

This

[brittle robin]

Which is exactly why we should use modern terms and definitions. They may have called it a halberd back then, but it's not anymore.

@tough yew you're wrong

[wind charm]

is this ragebait?

[alpine lynx]

probably

[idle crane]

From the scroll📜 to the bout 🥊 to the quill to the king

[wind charm]

This is sexy fucking gameplay getting nerfed to the gutter in the update?

because it is too cool for yall

[alpine lynx]

?

[wind charm]

stance shifting

[alpine lynx]

its not getting nerfed?

[frank scarab]

From the poor 💸 to the squire, 🐿️ to the knight, to the king 👑 half swording sound where's my golden kettle helm? that's my horse 🐴 .

[wind charm]

i heard from a guy who heard another guy that stance shifting is either getting removed or nerfed catastrophically

[steady skiff]

is there anyway to play multiplayer in playtest

[idle crane]

Yours doesnt hold the original meaning

[idle crane]

X causing fast pops will probably get fixed. This is just a guess tho

[wind charm]

my tech actually benefits from a slower stance shift

[alpine lynx]

no

there is no multiplayer

[steady skiff]

😦

[hollow lintel]

how do i play online?

[alpine lynx]

😭

[frank scarab]

which is better cause anything that still holds the original lyrics will make the guards go ahead and executes themself.

[alpine lynx]

maybe look at previous messages

[hollow lintel]

im on demo and all i do is walk around a dark room what else can i do

[steady skiff]

lmao

[wind charm]

me in the nightclub after 40 beers

[alpine lynx]

request access to playtest on steam store page of half sword

[hollow lintel]

is there anything else after the dark room or is that it

how long to get playtest

[alpine lynx]

there is no multiplayer

[wind charm]

there is no multiplayer

[alpine lynx]

12 hours or less

[steady skiff]

i thought the demo was just a test for the tutorial

[hollow lintel]

i have requested is there a admin i can ask to accept me

[wind charm]

how long ago?

[alpine lynx]

they accept a lot of people at once

not one by one

[hollow lintel]

i requested 10 minutes ago im new to pc so sorry if i sound dumb

[alpine lynx]

wait

[wind charm]

ah, there you go

give it a day max

[hollow lintel]

okay thank you guys

do any of u play siege i have a really big problem with that on my pc could use some help

[wind charm]

no stress man, I was ITCHING to be accepted the first time

[alpine lynx]

this is half sword chat

[tough yew]

it just won’t be like instantaneous i think. we’ll see

[alpine lynx]

go ask in general

[hollow lintel]

i know but i just need help its okay if u cant help

[alpine lynx]

i dont play siege

[frank scarab]

the community manager and beyond are the ones to accept, but don't bother pinging them.

[hollow lintel]

can i private message them#

[alpine lynx]

no

they dont accept individually

please dont

[steady skiff]

can you get banned if you ping them?

[alpine lynx]

no

[hollow lintel]

okay thats fine i just need help with something else on my pc now been looking everywhere

[alpine lynx]

ask in general chat

[hollow lintel]

i have no1 said anything yet

[wind charm]

this is good, the polearm's mechanics have a really high skill ceiling that can look really stylish if done correctly.

[alpine lynx]

i love polearms

[wind charm]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NjIqAi9Q0os
This is my favorite clip I got

[frank scarab]

what he said, you'll be told off by one of the mods

[steady skiff]

what about muted?

[frank scarab]

but possibly if you ping the entire dev team, game seer represents, and community manager multiple times and they are all also on a busy day then maybe you could get a timeout or two, but i'm answering questions that i don't know the answers to.

[wind charm]

how does one get content creator?

I am polehammer skill doer

plus, I haven't seen many content creators specifically main polehammer

[steady skiff]

so if you ping every single member you would get a timeout?

[frank scarab]

first you have to make make content about sword (obviously) second you have to ask the community manager or mod when they're in the chat.

[wind charm]

In your personal opinion, do you think my halfsword videos are goated in the sauce?

[frank scarab]

most likely, but yet again, i'm answering a question that i don't have the answers to.

[steady skiff]

that is like way more chill than most servers

most you would get muted for like a couple hours just pinging one mod

[tough yew]

I’ll need to consult to mcwonder beast to give you the role.

[deft trail]

they gotta make the ai beg for mercy less bruh 😭

[wind charm]

hey if you want to have a sneak peak of the best polehammer montage of your life, I will open up my sony vegas and show you right now

[deft trail]

i aint even swinging near them and they wont stop yapping

[tough yew]

no need to, though you can show that to mcwonder potentially.

[frank scarab]

click, wait for 5 mins - 28 hours, check your email once and a while, and then you'll have the arena.

[undone cradle]

What happened with this game on steam deck?

[wind charm]

I'll get this video done, and the absolute mastery of the polearm in the video alone will show you just how stylish It can be

Polehammer doer ( me )

[tough yew]

sounds good

[light pike]

wdym

in the demo or

ig since the playtest doesnt have gore yet

you cant in the playtest

theres genuinely no gore whatsoever

demo has jank physics

harder to aim slashes n stuff

you apply for the playtest

and everyone gets accepted basically

playtest has better gameplay

on the steam page irrc

Its cool but I haven't figured out how to replicate it

my best guess is you crouched right when hitting s

tho it could have just been a slight bug

[hot mango]

Oh wow people still playing the old demo? nice

Does anyone know how to install that trainer mod for the old one

[tough yew]

There’s a dedicated mod installer for that

[hot mango]

Thats what i mean is there like a visual video or something i can follow

[wind charm]

https://youtu.be/87Ws3rkVbbI?si=bAjsaNR20dr40SeZ
If this is the slickest parry you've ever seen

[wheat isle]

It’s extremely easy, no need for visual content

[hot mango]

then is there a tutorial somewhere

[abstract geyser]

I mean it's cool, but parrys like that happen all the time in HS

[wind charm]

I am proud of myself, do not invalidate my happiness

[abstract geyser]

if you're proud of yourself, why the need for external validation?

[wind charm]

I have no wish to be validated, only to show the fruit of my efforts

I just cut people's neck

[broken venture]

the first and the 6th ones are halberds

[jolly gorge]

can i fix this when i go to the menu after dying or by pause screen the game crashes

\

[jolly gorge]

how should i efficiently slam a person in fist play..

[brittle robin]

No, it's a voulge with a back spike.

[broken venture]

Bro search "15 century halberd"

It is

Literally the def of halberd says what is that

[brittle robin]

?

[broken venture]

In the 4th photo

[brittle robin]

Ya that's a halberd. Looks nothing like the voulges in the render

[broken venture]

Someone that finally says I am true

omg

[brittle robin]

These look nothing alike

[broken venture]

The only fucking difference is that the 2nd one's head is not full of iron

In the 1st one you can't see wod

Wood

In 2nd one yes

Its only difference

Bro

[brittle robin]

That's a lot of differences. It's almost like they're completely different weapons

@tough yew you're wrong

[tough yew]

dude its been like 8 hours and you guys are still arguing whether that's a halberd or vouge

the bait is real

[brittle robin]

It's called dedication and perseverance. This is important. You're talking about history, craftsmanship, and the precise art of medieval weaponry. We can’t just throw around terms like it's nothing. Accuracy matters.

[regal stump]

bodyslam

[broken venture]

Just accept that's a halberd

[broken venture]

no

[brittle robin]

I will never accept that. Because it's not a halberd. Calling it a halberd is just completely and objectively wrong. It's 100% factually logically a voulge and I will accept nothing else.

Even royal arms and armory calls is a voulge. They can't be wrong.

[tough yew]

if you dont stop being schizophrenic ill time you out for a minute

[broken venture]

I agree with Fencer

[brittle robin]

I am not crazy! I know it's a voulge and not a halberd. Ivan is lying. I knew it from the start, I studied the curvature, the blade shape—everything. As if I could ever mistake a halberd for a voulge. Never. Never! I just... I just couldn’t prove it. He muddied the waters, got that so-called "weapons expert" to back him up, that hack! You think this is just some innocent debate? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse! The reenactment! Are you telling me that Ivan just "misidentified" the weapon? No! He orchestrated the whole thing! Ivan! He lied about it in front of everyone, and I tried to set it straight! And I shouldn’t have. I defended him. What was I thinking? He’ll never admit he’s wrong. He’ll never change! Ever since he was a kid, always the same! Always misidentifying weapons and pulling this crap. But not Ivan! Oh no, Ivan can’t be wrong! He’s just a misunderstood history buff, right? Wrong! He’s a fraud! And people still listen to him? It’s a sick joke! I should’ve called him out when I had the chance!

[fast bramble]

It's an old trick for doing gore in games, it's hard to cleanly separate models where you strike (you can look at the old Wolverine game for an example of how messy it can look trying to fill in the broken mesh) so they make premade severing points and models, shrink the limb that was removed, put a gore cap over the shrunken part, and spawn a gib

New gore system will look miles better

[brittle robin]

This is censorship! Straight up 1984 level thought-policing. They time me out because they can’t handle the truth. I know I’m right, and they can’t stand it! Everyone else is wrong, blinded by their ignorance, and I’m the only one who sees things clearly. They call me schizophrenic because they’re scared—scared of my knowledge, scared that I’ll expose them for the frauds they are!

This isn’t just about a weapon. This is about principle. About fighting for what’s true. They can try to silence me, but I won’t stop. I’ll prove it. The voulge is real, and I’m going to show all of you. Every. Last. One. You’ll see. You’ll all see!

yeah especially the gore in the playtest. way more detailed

[crude flower]

Halfhammer

[crude flower]

Yeah, but it still slaps and you cannot tell me differently

Just don't put blood all the way up or it'll crash your game lololol

[elfin frigate]

wait what still slaps

[chrome flame]

Haven't played this game in a while, have they added blood to the play test yet?

nvm just looked at some clips

Do we know when/if they're adding blood to the play test?

I don't even like gore, just like the visual feedback it gives

[last geyser]

Bro

[weak roost]

Ask Pierrot who keeps teasing

[last geyser]

It is plastered all over the server

[midnight rivet]

ive been trying to find a version of the game where you can do the fist fight and stuff. I seen alot of youtubers with that version but I just can not seem to find it

[weak roost]

I don’t think you’ve been trying very hard.

[midnight rivet]

i might be geekin

[trail nacelle]

The playtest?

[wind charm]

The playtest differs from the demo

[midnight rivet]

that would probably make sense why I do not have the same version as the one I have seen

[elfin frigate]

playtest gore edition has been out for like 2 weeks idk why people keep asking about this smh

[cerulean needle]

The atmosphere is darkness and cobblestone

so you like london

[trail nacelle]

The demo is more rewarding and has blood and bosses.

Playtest has better combat

[cerulean needle]

The playtest is literally built for one specific purpose, all aspects are going to be in the final anyway

[trail nacelle]

I can't wait for the unicorn dlc

[elfin frigate]

wait if you lose a limb in the demo you dont bleed out?

havnt played it since playtest released

[tough yew]

the abyss mode will return

[near grotto]

Guys devs just dmed me and said blood is getting released in 2026

They're waiting for GTA 6 after it inevitably gets delayed

Then they'll release it

[young goblet]

2026?!

[scenic belfry]

how it feels to spread misinformation

this can't be shown in tokyo with gore

real shit the mechanics > gore imo

[royal epoch]

Sometimes I go back to the first demo because I miss the gore mechanic, but the gameplay is just so much better in the playtest that it's hard to go back.

[elfin frigate]

tokyo just DMed me and said theyre ok with gore now

[remote crypt]

gameplay like this doesn't happen in chiv

You don't get that same feeling of accomplishment for getting better

nor fine control

nor CLANG

for example this parry is satisfying BECAUSE YOU HAD TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT.
Other games are just right click + directional

You can't bullshit your way through as effectively as other games

[royal epoch]

I agree, you can get some really good looking fights and a lot of control

[remote crypt]

oh my goodness yeah

I got a surprise goedengag parry one day

and it looked so damn hot

[royal epoch]

you can get realistic looking stances and swings too

and if you swing left to right with a halfsword swing and let go early you can build up some crazy momentum

[remote crypt]

true as fuck

[remote crypt]

perfect example

[worn heron]

if you click your mouse just once time, it'll change how you idly hold the blade as well.

If you didn't notice

Can make for great screenshots, and nice openers

[royal epoch]

not my best fight but the execution was perfect at the end

[royal epoch]

I have noticed this or using alt to parry strikes at the torso works too

[worn heron]

yee, alt works good for a lot of different things, like overhead strikes and stabs.

I prefer to use double click to stab, cause I have a specific method of aiming that I go for which I find to be much more accurate

[remote crypt]

gets cinematic af

[remote crypt]

True true. I tend to work in passive/active parry/riposte now that I've got some more control over my mouse

[royal epoch]

I really struggle with double click because I can't generate very much stabbing power, which I guess doesn't matter with a pointy sharp object

[remote crypt]

perfect example of such

[remote crypt]

It actually does

[royal epoch]

I've played around 60 hours of exanima so alt already feels natural to me also

[worn heron]

My advice, hold right click to stance your weapon and drag your mouse to aim first, then double click left mouse and hold it. It's great for openings and finishers when they're on the ground

I'll get a clip of a perfect example. It gives you a proper halfsword thrusting pose

[royal epoch]

Its crazy how fast the devs are developing this combat system, because its super sweet

[worn heron]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/isJV0pQgDMgXVmpNE/spok?invite=cr-MSxsMmgsMjAxMzQ4MTMyLA

good ole pokey poke

[royal epoch]

I havent thought of this I will have to try it. Do you think it would work with longswords?

[worn heron]

It works just the same! Perfectly. I just am a polearm aficionado, so most of my clips are all with polearms.

you can even drag your mouse to the left and hit them with the hilt

if you struggle to aim a bit, try turning your sensitivity down some, that usually helps most people

I know I play on lower sens

[royal epoch]

I like to hold right click and hit them with the opposite end of the polearm, since some have spikes

I play on sense to the max, and generate power by switching through the stances

you can kinda feel when the game is coded to switch between them

[worn heron]

Yeee, even the unreinforced wooden poles can break necks with a good swing

[royal epoch]

like bottom left to top right

[worn heron]

I never felt a lot of luck with this myself. I use the polearms mainly like said, and I found that slower, more precise strikes tend to get the best force, for me at least. Dpi also will play a role

so people's sensitivity will be different

[royal epoch]

I agree that it isnt about the mouse speed at all

I think its mostly on what leg is forward

and if you step into it or not

[elfin frigate]

bro with the axe was absolutely flailing for a min

[royal epoch]

other power generators
