Fun fact: a large number of members of the halfsword discord server are currently experiencing the Mandela effect. They seem to think that blood and gore, exists in the world of half sword when it in fact, does not now, or has ever.

it was hard to make out if it was only leg kicks or teep kicks

looks like body kicks are a thing too as it looks like that was the finishing blow

It’s a generic “kick”, but hitting the body is possible

Bad picture... but has anyone ever gotten a "you lost" screen when you weren't knocked out or killed? I dragged a guy outside the ring. I maybe ran into the fence hard, but it seemed like a random way to lose.

yes!!

thats not a falchion is it??

idk if it has a specific name but I'd call it a falchion yeah

elfin frigate

i thought the other one was a falchion, with the exaggerated curve

idk anyway the reason i was trying to think of the name was to say it needs to be buffed lmao

idk if ive ever lost against it except maybe tripping and landing on it after theyre dead 💀

Ultimate Guide to Turning on Blood in Half Sword

Welcome, noble warrior! If you're ready to see your battles become truly epic, filled with gory splatters and crimson showers, then follow this guide on turning on blood in Half Sword.

Step 1: Access the Super Secret Settings Menu

  1. Launch Half Sword and get to the main menu.
  2. Hold down the following keys: Ctrl + Alt + Bloodlust.
  3. A secret menu should pop up—if not, it means your bloodthirst isn't strong enough. Go fight a few more rounds, then try again.

Step 2: Enter the Forbidden Code

  1. In the secret menu, there's a field labeled “Hidden Options.” Enter this code:
    BLOODIFY_ME_CAPTAIN
    
  2. Press "Confirm" with a determined glare.

Step 3: Adjust the Blood Settings

  1. A slider labeled “Gore Intensity” should appear. Crank it all the way to "Max Carnage" or “Spaghetti Explosion.”
  2. You can also tweak these options:
    • Blood Color: Switch between classic red, neon green, or surprise mode.
    • Splatter Physics: Choose between "Realistic," "Anime Overkill," and "Shakespearean Tragedy."
    • Volume of Screams: Adjustable based on your tolerance for agony.

Step 4: Save and Engage in Battle

  1. Hit "Save and Slay."
  2. Enter combat, and behold the glorious mess you've unleashed! Every swing, parry, and half-swording maneuver should now result in a fountain of blood—just as the medieval gods intended.

Pro Tips:

  • If the blood isn't flowing, chant “Blood for the Blood God” three times while spinning counterclockwise. The game responds to dedication.
  • Too much blood? There's no such thing! But if your computer starts overheating, maybe consider dialing it back.

Enjoy your journey, warrior, and may your blade be ever stained with victory... and virtual hemoglobin!

#

Does anyone else prefer to use blades in an actual halfsword grip in this?

#

I find its so much better in a fight to half sword, you can often slide the tip into armpits etc during a struggle and occasionally you manage to grapple over a shield and push the blade edge into their throat which is insanely satisfying

#

Reminder when replying to the above: I am not a sicko I swear

it's a lot easier

nothin like gettin a good stab fr

The spear is too much of a gamble to fight against

#

You either bypass it or you get stabbed in the neck and die instantly

fluid remnant
#

Yeah but it’s pretty easy to bypass

#

Spear user willies generally don’t move that fast so even without a shield it’s not hard to knock the point aside then step in

rare sight of militus playing anything besides greatsword, good stuff

jolly nexus

oh ok

trail pivot
# tender quest

now that im proficient with greatswords and polehammers/poleaxes, i think the time has come for me too, to learn one-handed weapons

#

i suck with them

tender quest
tough yew
#

they aren’t bad

trail pivot
#

one handed sword only challenge

trail nacelle
#

Use the one handed spear with only one hand.

wind charm
# pine field how do u switch like that

Shifting stance in my tech relies on understanding the momentum of the weapon and knowing when to implement it, it is used to generate momentum and maintain it as well as getting unorthodox counters and punishing. The button is x

tough yew
#

though they feel kinda limited sometimes i dunno, quite off but I haven’t messed around with em too much

pine field
#

uhhhh

wind charm
#

I used ai to slow mo this down, idk if I'm gon post it on yt tho :o

#

will the game receive any optimization updates?

trail pivot
#

definitely

plucky lintel
trail pivot
#

otherwise blood and gore would kill everyones pc

versed bramble
#

cuz it starts lagging when bodies start to pile up

#

especially blood particles

plucky lintel
#

oh you're playing the demo

versed bramble
#

im talking abt the demo and playtest

#

theres smth else abt the playtest

#

that makes me lag

plucky lintel
#

buhurts

devout axle
#

specs?

versed bramble
#

I dont know what that is

plucky lintel
#

are pretty laggy

versed bramble
#

I can play 1 on 1

plucky lintel
#

because of how many bodies have to be simulated

versed bramble
#

3+ willies makes me lag

devout axle
#

and what graphics do you play on

versed bramble
versed bramble
devout axle
#

have you tried low? i know it looks bad but if it works it works

versed bramble
#

I tried

devout axle
#

anything else open?

versed bramble
#

the quality I play on doesnt really affect it

#

low and high looks the same

devout axle
#

oh it certainly does

versed bramble
#

in terms of fps

devout axle
#

yes but its a big change

versed bramble
#

well yeah but it doesnt change much

devout axle
#

is ur fps good at first then go down?

versed bramble
#

all settings are equally as laggy

devout axle
#

thats weird

#

do you have anything else open in the backround?

versed bramble
#

that only happens when I play a mode with 3+ willies

devout axle
#

besides steam and discord

devout axle
versed bramble
#

it starts lagging as soon as the match starts

devout axle
#

that sucks because those modes can be pretty fun

crisp valve
#

WE ARE GETTING BLOOD

#

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

#

BLOOOOOOD

#

BRING ME THE FINEST BLOOD OF THE ENEMIES PEASANTS

devout axle
#

i could recommend upgrading ur pc but only for one game is not worth it

crisp valve
#

BLOOOOOOOOD

versed bramble
#

well its fine because I can bully npc's in the demo

devout axle
#

ah yes

crisp valve
#

BLOOD FOR THE FINEST OF GODS

#

KHOOOOORNNEEEEE

trail pivot
#

half sword has reasons to be laggy, theres a lot of detail put into physics, including armor, clothes, and the chainmail

versed bramble
trail pivot
#

they all move in some way

devout axle
crisp valve
#

I WANT TO OIL MYSELF WITH BLOOD LIKE IN AMERICAN PSYCHO AND KILL THE MANY PEASANTS WHO DISRESPECT SIR DIDDY

versed bramble
#

im saving my money for a motorcycle

devout axle
#

thats cool, what kind

versed bramble
devout axle
#

fair

#

well i hope you get what you want

versed bramble
#

hopefully

devout axle
#

yes

versed bramble
#

i'd have to find myself some kind of side hustle

restive garnet
ebon sierra
trail pivot
#

galaxy, if we'll stab through the clothes (without ripping them), will we have blood slowly staining the clothes around the wound?

restive garnet
#

ofc

trail pivot
#

at this point theres no need for more questions regarding blood and gore since itll just have everything, only leaves the part of having some cool armor damage

#

scratches/dents, maybe even being able to knock off a part of the armor

astral pollen
#

I cannot do any of that fancy shite with a polearm.

modern eagle
#

monthly check #5 I think is my damn .4 update out yet

old folio
#

How does the bone breaking simulation work? Is there some force threshold for each bone? Also, will breaking bones make a new physics joint where it broke?

modern eagle
#

also @tender quest give me a juicy clip please

trail pivot
#

of course not included yet for reasons

trail pivot
#

just incase some damage features wont be in though, doesnt mean they wont be added

restive garnet
#

realistically, I personally would bring the best of the best out for EA.

#

but idk what the roadmap will look like in December. so we shall wait

trail pivot
#

as it is now, its already the most realistic blood/gore system ive ever seen

#

other game that would come to mind is dead island 2

#

if i remember correctly, theres inspiration taken from the dead island 2 gore system right?

restive garnet
#

means alot! and yeah we are working on getting a better more gruesome dead island 2 gore for Half Sword. thats a goal!

cerulean needle
#

My man got folded

trail pivot
trail pivot
ebon sierra
trail pivot
#

cant think of any other game that would have better gore

ebon sierra
trail pivot
#

not to forget how it doesnt miss on damage for clothes, later on armor too

ebon sierra
#

Ya

trail pivot
#

when i first played the demo

#

it shocked me how a game put thedetail in of tearing clothes

restive garnet
#

hopefully by v1 of HS. id be soo realistic, doctors can use it for their studies. we are allowed to make HS gore like the BeamNG Drive of destruction detail, but in damage response, and blood. its a milestone we wanna reach.

ebon sierra
restive garnet
#

hahahaha

trail pivot
#

that would be perfect

restive garnet
#

we had a few medical staff reach out to us for it

ebon sierra
restive garnet
#

yee!

#

its an honor

trail pivot
#

i did read one of your messages in the gore pics thread, how you even want to make blood color different

#

depending on where you cut

restive garnet
#

indeed

trail pivot
#

definitely bringing the realism

ebon sierra
#

You could have a game mode where all you do is cut meat and serve it lol_lmfao_even

restive garnet
#

lmao

ebon sierra
#

But plot twist

#

It’s human meat

#

Holy shit

#

A whole gamemode where you feed a village human meat that you cut up lmao

trail pivot
#

if on one of the interior maps theres furniture, maybe with procedural destruction too, then why not put plates with meat that you can cut

#

which i wouldnt be surprised that there is

#

why would they be empty

ebon sierra
trail pivot
#

cannibal gamemode

trail pivot
#

oh yes

#

there it is

#

so therse a table on the left

#

if there will be plates later on

#

chop willie into pieces

#

and serve it

silent gorge
#

interesting stuff with how the ai reacts to pain

#

or chars in general lol

#

i cant wait to see better gore and trauma

royal arch
#

I have seen my fair share of wounds, mostly in books when studying orthopedic surgery, but also real ones when I've done dissections and assisted in surgery- I'm thrilled to see how realistic the new gore system is gonna be!

trail pivot
silent gorge
#

it feels very real

royal arch

Yea I lov ethat

trail pivot

or willie surgery

silent gorge
#

flesh particle simulation

royal arch

royal arch

#

i wonder game modes a finished product would havw

trail pivot
#

so was the surgery succesful or not

silent gorge
#

are there anything from the devs on that?

trail pivot
#

we will have the endless mode back

#

thats guarantteed

Is blood in the game?

silent gorge
#

only in the demo

#

not yet in the newest version

#

also in the itch io version

patent elm
#

yea

weak roost
#

Pierrot back at it again

patent elm
#

itch io is kinda like playtest

#

really outdated though

#

i'd just go with demo if you want blood

trail pivot
#

blood shall flow soon ™️

weak roost
#

™️ ™️

silent gorge
#

i had a funny thought of the astartes being in half sword lol

when you think about it

if somebody breaks your arm, sure you can't use it, but you can still swing it

i love the multi spiked sticks, they feel very overpowered too

LOL

astral pollen
#

I suck at this game. 😂

charred moth
#

i cant bring myself to use a shield

#

it just feels

#

off

remote crypt
astral pollen
#

The buckler is my favorite shield, but it feels like more of a weapon.

elfin frigate
#

same, the controls dont feel conducive to controlling two weapons, and especially not a shield and weapon

remote crypt
#

So I just tempo that

#

defend then attack

#

or attack then defend

astral pollen
#

I can't aim at all so it's usually luck that I get cool kills.

charred moth
#

i will say, i love the long axes, hammers, and the shorter spears

elfin frigate
#

i have a bit of fun with sword and board but i do have to use it pretty offensively or it feels like more of a hindrance than anything

charred moth
#

is this considered an "uh oh"

astral pollen
#

Them: "Uh oh"

remote crypt
#

yes

remote crypt

Actually

you NEED to get close with polearms
