here i am, debating wether to play gta or half sword goddamnit
congratsss
Honestly. I cant wait to get good old blood clips
I will too
both
did they pay caseoh?
yayy!
Dang that’s pretty messed up
who
then again my clips are mediocre and not flashy compared to @wind charm here with his dope ass plays.
MEDIOCRE?
No they didn’t pay like xqc or caseoh but hopefully they swing back
I am my own monster, you must become your own
oh my
Is that face thing in the update
caseoh
I am. In a diff way
faq says one of the inspirations is tarkov. ||extraction mode???||
dont think so
Did you see euphoria leak? On YouTube gta 6 shooting leak etc
The one thing ive been told consistently is that I am very versatile. Which, is a strength
pay me 1 pack of ciggies and I will never stop making HalfSword content
nah, it was all abt gta v six star shootouts
did you see the video
no
Wait prob shouldn’t send that
send it in the dms
i saw like 3 frames of that but it looked like animations
its a shootout
the death looked like animations
I don’t know what’s up with the planking? Could be bug
m00 particle accelerator headshot
I hope new voice lines are added really used to these
I actually cannot believe that half sword used to be isometric
Anyone know if bleed outs and delayed deaths will be a thing? For example, if I cut a mans legs off, he crawl around a little bit before dying?
In reference
Apparently the update coming out should change a lot which is good game been same a long time so hopefully they cooked
real shit though, anybody know how to flip from your belly to your back when youre on the ground?
you dont really. not that ive noticed
I've attempted to, i typically use one arm to try and encourage a roll over
I wonder if half sword is a huge hit if they will mark a blood trail like game in modern
same here, i feel like thats fr the only way im guessing
melon I see you.
That would be cool
Hopefully without the smoking crack to heal
shit had me so weak when i played it
It’s so jank but looks so good in desktop
Bloodtrail tends to get memed on pretty heavily here
fiddling with spear. trying something dumb, cant tell if it has any advantage. does anyone know if holding rmb and releasing mid-thrust with a spear helps at all? i hope itd give me some extra velocity/damage more or less but im also not good at this game lol
you mean shit on
Why
I was trying to be polite
Is there any way to access that version of half sword
oh right oops
Why is slow mode it's still like 2 'days til the update
But yeah shit on works too
What’s wrong with it other than clunky
A lot
I'd love to see how it holds up compared to more modern stuff
exanima
Weird developer?
I mean, thats fair, i already have that tho
the devs use real gore as an example
the game barely gets updates
the ragdoll system is shitty
npcs are way too heavy
devs are edgy
knees weak
arms are heavy
I just wanna see this older one to see how its mechanics are ig lol
Dev is strange , rag doll bad, but what do you mean what else can they base on or do they post that stuff
movie gore
What do you think that is based on
using real gore as an example for your game/art is frowned upon heavily
they literally watch real life gore for the shit of it
only a slight snippet what it could actually be like, its missing some stuff including the top down view, i'll get the link,
my pc is going to fry for this upcoming update
Hopefully they adapt system to modern game eventually
Galaxy doesn't use real gore as references or textures, he uses his imagination, movie references, medical documents/advice, etc.
rockstar games aren’t based from real gore either
I wouldn’t want to look at that. But imagination is a reach.
and they’re awesome usually, gore and everything
Y’all, no way they don’t research with real footage
big dawg imagination is all it takes
Why traumatize yourself and insult the memory of the people injured or dead when you could just use the countless other ethical references available?
and a really creepy and gore fiending community, much worse then some people here.
yeah like liveleak (jk plz dont smite me)
talented VFX artist dont need real stuff. I personally dont need that, in my head i can work out the physics and math behind it. its talent, not only blood but for all vfx stuff
if you cant get behind it, idk what to tell you
were the gmod blood mods also vfx you made?
weird as the people behind the channels tend to be, there's no shortage of youtube videos of ballistics dummies getting brutalized
all the work i did are
wow, i’m pretty impressed
good ol' food coloring and flour
Not saying for you is not true but euphoria is meant to simulate nervous system countless hours of footage analyzed for sure
that too!
tyy tyyy!
Or if you're working in black and white, chocolate sauce
of course, i’m shocked most games i play have a blood mod by you
Edgelords definitely leave a bad taste in the mouth

But blood trail has some good ideas like eyes and nose bleeding as collateral etc
i love vfx
how do you feel about on how you are possibly one of or the best blood modders?
I wonder if dDefinder has worked on any games
i just look it at that in this way, that i am able to have made many ppl happy and satisfied with the work i did. that what matters.
But you watch the dev log for blood trail and you might be genuinely scared
i am humbly thankfull to be such a person
Have you considered node bleeds or mouth, or eye reddening ?
dude
thats all for Early access
Is early access the Friday update
no
early access is in the future
the friday update is the free update
the early access is not
I hope to see a huge blunt force update bruising and whatnot
I'm ready to fax money to cut in line on early access
🥹
same
this is insane how far this game has came
Not many free games get this much time out of me

Is half sword going for good physics game or best in class for blood and such
since you’re a vfx artist, on the team of this game, if it’s not too much to ask, what do you get that you can tell us of?
both perchance 
cool vfx soon
very realistic
and satisfying
is that what you mean?
is VFX just particles and stuff
Pretty sure it's the game, then it'll receive further updates until it leaves early access
vfx is everything happening on the screen, i have ideas abt certain tech, i ask tech artists if its possible, we make it, till it fits my vision
vfx is for example, fire effects spreading ect ect destruction allat
My main concern is slash effects. They looked a little strange like tiger stripes in the pictures maybe they were old
Post processing or is that more GFX?
Will there be cloth soaking is that VFX
that too
how did you get into all of that?
Oh are molotovs being added
I wish I stuck with it when I started getting a passion for it doing game mods, ENB, etc.
also, tell me again for our newer people in the chat, how did you find and start working for the lovely half sword dev team?
Random madness will make new half sword video
i feel you, i want to build my own games, but i dont even know where to start lol
i did cause of valentin the mad, he introduced me to frank and ivan. they needed a vfx artist and bloodddd
i meant like
Bro just name dropped random madness
you get early access right? is there anything else?
if it’s too much to ask you don’t gotta answer
Yeah, it's always been a thing I've wanted to dabble more with, but I've already got so much else going on now. At the time my computer could barely keep up with how far I wanted to push graphics, I was getting like 2 seconds per frame, struggled to learn Blender, etc. and other things like making music and growing plants took its place
I mean he working on game
yes I work on the game daily, so early access. and the future of HS but thats all NDA
alright, i won’t press you
the best part is the dev team
What is the best improvement in this update coming
the are super talented and chill, also are my friends
gore probably
same for game seer
i’ve really wanted to make my own games but unity sucks ass for beginners and i only know a portion of c#
Oh hopefully wounded states of all variations
dude i feel that, i just finally got a pc well enough to do all of it now. i also struggle with blender as well
honestly what kept me going in vfx / blood mods is the community following i have. they where very very supportive
Legit just got a PC good enough for it all this year too lol. I guess in the end you don't have to learn everything, as long as you've got some sort of skill you can provide a team.
are you and some of the dev team particularly good at half sword?
this is like a qna i love it
I used to go ham on Skyrim photography
i sadly dont play alot of HS in my free time, but i am def not a pro. maybe after the blood update i ll try to become a "pro"
oh no why is todd here 
true lmao
and the others?
Whoever does the trailers seems to be pretty decent at it
thats awesomeee
good malware
Nice lol
frank is really good
that song leak earlier was fire
Wait is the Friday update just blood ? Or the other stuff like models being added
i hope along with splitscreen we can get lan multiplayer or friends only multiplayer
there’s a few other things i’ve heard of i’m pretty sure
You mean we are t getting all the good features? Drats
i dunno though i’m not an insider
Did a ton of other games, too, but I don't want to flood the channel with it lol
is that real??
thats oke we can always move to general too
yeah thats frank and ivan
Is Friday update a lot of stuff or just blood back with minor improvement
looks peak
frr
I'll post a few of my more highly voted ones in general then

I guess we will find out
i am just not gonna spoil anything
this is what he is prob talking about
yup
who took the video joker!!
do the songs in the game have actual names
yes
omg manhunt 1 beta is so dark and gritty
what’s the name of that one song from the half sword soundtrack that’s pretty upbeat and you usually hear it fighting the final boss of the demo
it’s like the only song that’s kinda upbeat

let me just go play the demo real quick
i don’t think i’ve ever heard isolation actually
is that unused?
also somebody please change the slowmo to like 5 seconds or smth nobody’s even on rn
its probs for EA
I'm looking forward to Court Room returning
someone cooked here
guys i only started playing when gore was removed and a bunch of other stuff tell me what it was like

We had this song
i feel like i’ve heard this before
It's in the demo
yup its court room
spedrun the game
iconic song, why was it removed with the gore??
If it's not Court Room it's the one that plays after you beat the game and that one's not in the video
damn you gotta upload that to speedrun.com
that was fast as hell
Omg is that a blender reference
I love blender its the best
Ive been making stuff in blender for 4 years and i wanna try getting more into vfx stuff but that shit is hard and blender isn’t really the best for making realtime stuff so id probably have to learn how to use unreal
Unreal's probably where I'd start if I ever get back into it, spread myself too thin trying to learn 3D modeling alongside the other stuff
5 minutes wtf???
i didn’t realize how quick that actually was
Yeah true ive tried to learn unreal before but i kinda just booted it up and messed around for like 20 minutes and closed it and i havent used it since, that was like months ago
I should probably try to learn it again since its workflows are a better for creating large environments faster which is what i usually do, but I have a lot on my plate rn in terms of projects that ive started and never finished so that will have to wait
i love court room
oh my god that just made things so much cornier
🤣🤣🤣
I will have a better night if you convert to Freedom
you too but please never say “fellow violence enjoyers” again
Duty
Facts
Hope you're having a good night/day, too!
I am, im eating a peanut butter sandwich
Nice
i just weaponized barrel spears
if you smack them they can go flying like a gunshot piercing through people
Interesting
just wait for the arquebus
Man its cold right now, its 2°C outside
You mean no coop in Stalker? Shocking
more #work-in-progress or #announcements today who knows they could be here anytime 
hes not alive
(the actual date is 22/11/24)
i can clearly see his eyeballs still in, imagine with the internal organs and shit. GUHHH
that one is still giving me trauma
what??????
same
i assume the brain will have its own physics and realistic insides??
yeah
this game is so fun
excited for the gore
will the skin and flesh hang anywhere? i mean, when it comes to the preview for procedural slicing the density slider was different for the sake of showing the tech, so usually i feel like the cut wont go entirely through especially with gambesons
yes
god the aftermaths for the bigger battles is just gonna be gruesome
ohh totally!
only thing is i assume that the blood and gore has a pretty decent impact on performance, with how advanced the tech really is
Based on Galaxy's specs I should be able to run it fine
one way to find out, it to see it friday! and if performance is an huge issue, patches can fix it
i mean my pc can run HS as it is and do perfectly smooth on small buhurts on epic, but i feel like even mine will be beat if ill try small buhurt with blood and gore
This is so good
the gore is new, the blood particles are new, the blood textures are new, the blood staining is new. alot are new. soooo friday is the test dayyyy
I intend to test its limits as much as I can
yeah rubber
sponser mi!
what’s your specs?
you will make willie sushi like 1000 pieces
you run this game way too smooth
dayum
damn bro you’re prepared for this question
the only thing that bugs me about blood is yesterdays video, with how blood on armor and skin, in some moments felt too perfect in shape, compared to the environmental blood, where it has all the splatter
i get this asked alot lmao
okay yeah i should be fine with a 4070 then
thats vertex paint, i ll not use that for Early access cause new next gen tech. that will be unused. for the free update this is fine.
8 terabytes of space? God daymn
fr where did he get that computer from
vfx takes ALOT of space
good to know its already known and will be better 
i have made over 160 blood textures for the new update, lets see if it will be all used
To be fair yeah. As an artist I need plenty of space as well. I only got like 1 terabyte tho
Hopefully all of it
so the blood is a mix of real time sim and textures or?
You know what's gonna be wild to see?
Bleeding Willies turning into blood tornadoes
decals and vertex pain, the real time sim is for Early access
i have see the nvidia trailer
tonss of stutterrring

I have concerns after they released the specs
First thing I thought was "They left Cinematic mode on didn't they"
even the 4090 needed to use frame gen and dlss
i cant type
lol
sooooo idk mannn
I've only got a 4080 Super lmao
I've avoided most trailers, clips, etc. Trying to experience it as fresh as I can
All good lol I've seen what it looks like, and I'm not lol

carnage with peasant is gonna be so brutal on friday
I'm mostly just trying to avoid what I did with Skyrim where I kept up with every little detail that came out, made it feel like I already played everything as soon as I started it for the first time
i also went into in blind, was my first rpg and elder scroll game
on ps3
the cart ride was mental
Did it glitch out for you or run normally?
yea! GLITCHES
Lmfao it was sooooo borked
Silly bee
do you guys think half sword might ever get a story mode or smth
i loved the atmosphere so much
dafuk of a story do you want? willie screaming and calling you bad words?
🤣
I want to learn where he learned the words he uses
willie gets drunk and they all scream at him and force him to gladiate so they send him to the hobbit basement from the demo to kill mega willie

from his sensei he learned
I had a good bit of fun with the game but the atmosphere is what kept me playing, eventually getting into game photography (and then real photography) through it
willie japanese dlc when
i don’t even understand what he’s saying half the time but it sounds rude 
dayummm
Young Willie Flashback QTE event
Cast out of the tallest tower to the lowest pig trough
Gonna prove his dad wrong
the stress of the whole event, rendering him permanently bald
very true
*His millions of other dads
true true
the man of many fathers, or so the prophecy foretells

His fathers' names? Willie
cordyceps
you know what this server needs? Willie pog
if facial animations gets added, oh BOI
this server needs infi cap on emojis and stickers
it'll be OVER for my 2070 super XD
how incredibly rude of unreal
What do you mean? He's already extremely expressive
HEY! he's just practicing his ventriloquism! to impress his many fathers!
true true
Was Willie modelled after someone or he is one of a kind?
He seems to be modeled after a schizophrenic's hallucination
Could be
this face reminds me of a sound effect of a spongebob boat honking. idk how to explain it
That makes sense
Lmfao
his face makes me think of Tobey Maguire
I see the resemblance
I love that sound
lmaooo
xd
willie * dies *
are you going to make it
i might tbh
what’s the type of fighting called where you hold the handle and the blade of a sword
isn’t it literally called half swording or smth
yess
feel like this would play after every embarrassing fail
slicing willies
lmaoooo
god i cant wait for friday because i just hate how legs are unbreakable, hitting them with a polehammer multiple times and willie will still stand as if nothing ever happened

He's so happy!

please let me know if you do 
Well, the Army made good and dang sure I'll never work another day in my life, and school gets me bored, I'll definitely try and make this man pog!

willpog...
gm bleedberry, have you seen willie dangling face?
The FAQ says that mods will only be allowed when in line with game lore, does that mean something like Energy sword or lightsabers won’t be possible?
When modding becomes available
yes
we wanna keep it historical accurate
modding is too early to tell
i mean ppl can make what ever mod they like
I understand if not, but i always enjoy such options
i’ve been hooked on the demo for some reason
fair fair
@restive garnet Will Willie finally get a Willie in this update, or is that reserved for EA?
and playtest 🥹
hehehe no genitalsssss
I want waves of Willies with playtest mechanics
willie fungusss
Playtest is great, i just wish there was gore. I know it’s being added later
In 2 days
oooooohhh
check #work-in-progress and #announcements
I'm more excited for an eventual kicking update. I wanna throw knees in the clinch so bad
I saw there may be character customization later. Does that only include armor, or can u mess with body proportions? I didn’t find where it was stated if it was.
oh god thats brutal, i love it
Will the gore stuff work in hand to hand? I kinda wanna bare knuckle brawl
we shall see fridayyss
2 Devs have mentioned the Willie fungus lore now. It's official 
To be fair, not much gore involved in a fist fight. Broken bones on the other hand...
Well I mean like facial cuts and bloody noses and stuff
Who else has mentioned it?
Fair
Kepon
The gore seems to be very in depth but I don't know how exactly in depth they're intending to go with it. It's one of those things that I'm sure would be a pain in the ass to implement lmao

very
to become the beamng of medieval combat
My only concern is that if it tanks performance that's gonna suck
performance is last in game dev
I've never seen such great words typed before

Oh it's gonna run like piss at first lmao an early access game with that level of detail is gonna be very hard on a system
Buhurts especially are gonna be rough but I imagine single combat will be decent
Buhurts are already rough on my system so I just avoid them when they come up. Goes from like 144 fps in single combat to 50 in a buhurt
Idc how well it runs the fact it's coming on my bday is a hell of a thing to me can't wait to paint the arena red
Early access beamng level detail: 
Early access beamng level performance: 
I play beamng in vr you can only imagine how bad that can be at times even with a 7700x and 7800xt
we will do our best to fix it
cause that fluid blood tech, runs flawlessly and stuff
runs hella better then decals
Take your time with it this game is one of the most fun I've played in a long time can't wait for the blood tho
heck yeah! we shall
When you guys are recording it, is the fps in real time or is it changed to look like it's in real time?
lmao its all real time
I feel like that tells a lot already
Sure it's not rendering the rest of the game but it's still not causing things to dip like crazy
At least on its own
yeah!! thats why it has soo much potential! and its truly next gen tech
you can paint the whole ass map
I'm curious how the blood in the old demo version was handled then never had issues with it on thier but realtime sounds amazing
I actually meant the question to be about the gore videos that came out recently, but that's really good to know too!
just decals spawning, and the blood pools are vertex paint
ohhh!!!
well that one is the first version soo its to be expected to run rough
later patches will fixies
i trust fronk
It didn't look like it ran that rough to me
how does the new blood system work compared to the old one
In this video there's no stuttering even as the meat is flapping and the computer is trying to calculate all that
Alright that makes sense then gonna see the difference between both versions once the new tech comes then really hope that kind of gamemode is in the full release since it was fun to wander a never ending darkness fighting what I like to see as random drunks armed with whatever
i see that blood seeps through cracks in demo
blood is decals staining the area with droplets, its nothing magical. but does the job! its like the demo but a bit betterr. i believe there will be better staining i hope.
fair fairr! that what surprised me too
oh, but i noticed in demo the blood looked like to have its own pattern of filling through cracks of the cobblestone or the flagstone
the new one uses the same bloodpool tech as the demo (free update)
Oh I believe it. The staff is very dedicated it seems
hey and i see that the half sliced willy can hang from its body

And when they fall to their knees the rest of the torso can rip off
truee
how much damage would kicks cause
One dolt's worth
no dismember on kick lmao
or is it enough to cause blood or broken limbs on default
it aint doom
Now I want the ability to curb stomp someone against a hammer or something
ok. ok then
bruises perhaps
Dead Space stomp
Oh Galaxy I guess this is a chance to ask, me and someone else were discussing the kicking in that video with the curb stomping, it looked like it was a bit hard to see what you were doing and was a bit stiff, has that been adjusted at all?
Do we have a time for the update btw? is it 19.00 CET like most games?
what the fuck is 19.00 CET
I'm not expecting GTA animation type of curb stomping obviously, just wondering since it's been a month since that video was made
American spotted lmao
im thai
i havent seen the new new new build yet, butttt kicking in FPS mode is the way to GO!!
Haha, awesome!
sorry the wink did me in
I noticed there was a decent bit of FPS footage in the new video they put out
the screw everything in that direction button
if willie gets too close, KICK
wonder if willie can kick me
does clothing give any armor value in demo
If Willie has no willie, then Willie can't kick Willie in the willie 😥
very little but yeah
If you brush up against a pitchfork sticking out you're less likely to get it stuck in your leg when you wear pants
so how protective would a gambeson be
wait a second
what (nvm I figured it out)
Hello,
New Half Sword Playtest Kicking
And new Willie 2.0 A.I. will kick your ass too!!
follow us on:
https://www.youtube.com/@HalfSwordGames
I Have Spoken,
GalaxyHighMarshal
Destroyed his whole pelvis
i told you, its powerful
To be honest, I'm a bit worried how powerful the kick is
irl kicks are powerful too
in 3 days..... no more Questions about That Thing
True, but it shouldn't make someone not in motion fall over
have you ever been kicked dawg? like full force?
It shouldnt blast someone away like 4 feet but yeah pushing someone over is definitely realistic
a bit too powerfull
i'm one step ahead of you guys.
what month is 20
I haven't been kicked full force but I have had a 350 pound man fall onto me which I suspect is similar in power
sepvember
same thing happened to me when ya mum tripped ( Oh Yeah!💪 Zinger!)
octropber
Yea wasn't a fun day had to pull out the vacumm
that would have split his head FO SUR
england streets
How about this one lol
bruise, he aint a watermelon
Yay, no more random head popping from the demo

teeth gone
Just got kicked today
It was shocking for a second
With the new procedural generated dismemberment, will entrails still be there?
That’s a good question
Thats a cool half character in the announcements, but he's looking kinda hollow
yes, theyll work on giving all organs their own unique features, so maybe we wont have them now but everything will come together in EA
soon??
is that gonna be early access?
not a playtest?
ah that's great
Two days blood coming woooo
yes
Never for you. Laziness does not get rewarded
W rizz
who dat
You a hoe fr
actually after thinking about it i think i may be in trouble
It’s because you keep clowning on W rizz
tf is going on
L rizz is happening in the chat
Sorry. 😣
Ok violence is not the answer though don’t be posting violence
Peace ☮️ to the world 🌎 🌍.
we love the earth
This is the heart attack I had after seeing that gif in real time
Half sword server is against violence 
2 days until blood
sharp jawline
so does gore release tommroow
2 days
added some new stuff in my reshade that should make it a little better
dang when are u gonna release it
soon

i want the kicking update,i want to kick my enemies in the balls
that is much better, i like everything about it lol
What do the body density and bone sliders even do?
The devs should add slugcats
will abyss mode and the fan favorite scythe return some day?
middle english
despite the game being set in western/southern germany
dont ask
why do the cars float and fly away
flying cars they said...
thats not a car thats a vehicle
Boimg :)
mode of transportation

arent some of the lines in swedish, german & french ?
blood soon
nah
just fancy schmancy english
So soon
This game is too addicting, it doesnt even hasve progression
ikr? its very strange, it just swallows u whole
The progression is your own skill 
Everything has progression?
Always had
the willie curse
i had 958 hours in gmod but when i saw half sword i forgot abt gmod.
thats mad
gmod is addicting too
yeah i rly want it, but i also need my friends t get it
i love cutting willies
has anyone else mastered throwing?
the corbin de bic is literally anti armor
my only good throw in my 100 hours that unfortunately didnt kill, although i dont really practice throwing
although it left him stunned
there were times where i would practice for a few matches but the multiple missed throws were getting annoying, constantly restarting and failing anyways
some people have. Kryk one of the other mods is great at throwing
what if, we throw our secondary in the air and use our main weapon like a baseball bat, make the secondary hit willie
blood in gauntlet is like dropped peperoni
and blood in demo looks like it seeps through cracks
if you do that i will buy you the game when it releases
what would you describe the upcoming 22 blood as.
i describe it as willie salami
do you think body density affects the cutting
bet (i just have to win a lottery ticket in hitting it and making sure willie has distance, otherwise, theres no skill involved)
but im curious in trying if its even possible to hit it like that
🤷♂️
AGHHH 2 more days
I NEED ITTTT. RIP AND TEARRRRR
1 question, what playtest version are we gonna have if the update comes out in 2 days???
i dont know if its 0.5 or 0.4
this should be 0.4
alright thanks, because i got a friend that said "in 2 days its gonna be 0.5" and others saying "its gonna be 0.4" so i really needed the answer
both the demo and playtest going to be updated?
nah only the playtest
😔
Why double or triple the work when PT is the superior build
i cant play playtest because of low fps so i asked if it demo was getting an update since i can only play it
i dont say "why demo is not getting an update"
A little bit.
But its mostly bone snapping.
Low body density means you can reach the bones easier to snap them with a blade, but if the bone snapping is low too, it doesnt matter if you are cutting through them like a lightsaber,.
Its all about the bones
thanks
Demo i think is up and coming soon. They're switching back to it just to update the combat i'm guessing or something
that’s odd, the playtest is significantly better optimized in my experience
Low fps i'm guessing is because of the armor
But it's also on an upgraded engine too so 🤷🏻♂️
I also have issues running armor only duels
same graphics, i have 20-30fps in PT and 40-50 and 60 sometimes in demo
hope so
I'd wager you would have worse fps once you get to harder zones if you haven't already
yes it goes down to around 30 fps after the final boss
Wouldn't it just be nice if they added void demo as a game mode in pt?
agree
Willie got jumped in mexico
🕊️
i would play pt just because of that even if its low fps for me
Suggestions?
What a pitbull named "princess" does to hyperactive children
im just excited to have fist fights with blood
sameee
so what yo0ure saying is that we should all actually get our skin surgically removed and replaced with transparent metal armour filled with nescesairy fluids and hydraulicaly sealed.
That would be immensely difficult with the amount of segmentation needed
I could imagine it would require an immense amount of rubber gaskets and whatnot
car
yes
hello coros
how sweet of you
I think they're going back and forth. Demo and playtest are gonna be upgraded separately and will stay that way for some time
Good way to make sure everything always works
They really need to add playtest's combat to demo
Think it's their next thing
demo's willie is so frail and noodly and has NO technique
Lol
Foolin around with slo-mo
i finally tried playing with the controller, i like how it feels
I hate swinging with the control stick is my main issue.
how did u get the slow mo??
Edited after I clipped, not in game.
how else would you swing?
ohh
Well the game is designed in a way that makes it so you actually swing or move to swing so a button wouldn't really work, I'm just saying that swinging with the stick feels weird and I'm not as in control as i am with a mouse, however I way better a pushing ontrollers buttons than I am at WASD lol.
DEAR GOD THAT WAS BRUTAL
lobotomized
right in the eye
feels like Willie is about to do a Zach hadle scream or something.
This would have had, blood running down his eye socket
i felt like this shit is gonna make it bloody
We shall see what Friday brings
would look like this
Probably needs patches afterwards tho
True
i wish i could just forget about assignments and exams and just try out the update when it releases.

yes
was frank really just left to work on everything for the free update? or by that were talking about fixing remaining bugs, optimizing the blood and gore? i mean im guessing he was left with some things finished, like blood, since i dont think frank works on blood tech, only gore no?
but maybe thats just because i had to complete a 4000 word essay a couple of days ago with a group that never even met in person and just started working on it basically the last week.
Yupp
i think frank works on physics stuff mostly
the gore models are made by def0rp and fibre i think
I did made him blood textures and particles. Some guidance on blood looks
6 PM friday, yes?
surprize lobotomy you say?

Ivan made few good surprises with fiber

Hello
friday
Gore is the 22nd
not freak 😩
how do people even enjoy watching gore
Some people are sick in the head.
if they arent mentally insane or something
Some act like they are because they think it's cool, while some others suffer from it.
americans thinking their smart doin 🤓 👆errm its gona be the 22nd month and the 12th day when the update comes out for anyone that dosent know 🤓 👆
half sword is about physics based combat, actually 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I don’t enjoy it I just think it is more realistic
Also you can see where the enemy is hit so it kinda looks better
no im talking about real gore
never enjoyed any of the gore i have unfortunatley seen lol
i only would like "gore" to actually see what i did. when i hit a guy and hes like "AAAUUGHH" i dont really know where i hit him lol
arena
come ooon the gore is so silly right, its so silly, its so silly right? right??? its so silly?? right?
ew
silly sword is the new name
clicker will
John Carpenter's "The Thing"
i do wonder how the hell hes still making noise lol
Grand tomfoolery wagon V
how tf is this even possible XD
slider for damage to enemy all the way down
willie is a cell you know
dang
he isnt human. this is meiosis willie is doing
now we need custom sounds for this type of situation
poor willie getting tortured for testing
there is nothing about it being the most suggested thing there
we will get a lot of new sounds, let me find that one old mp3 file for the new gruesome ones
"hah, i sliceth thy faceth"
(idk sorry lol)
new sounds are peak
it is in fact, bardzo możliwe
i need mfs to see me playing this game and think im some sort of maniac
i wonder who did the "voice acting" or just screaming ig
there is no suggestions channel?
I mean irl someone wouldn't be screaming or allive at this point
this is the upcoming new SFX
idk if #1047240101152960525 counts 😅
ill scream eternal suffering noises for Early Access
thats the old one
did they send a new one that i missed
let not thee hand-- Auauaughh
Blood blood blood !
the stuff there is just people asking why there isnt any blood and if its a bug
Diyyyeeeee
galaxy did its peak as fuck
Mercy!
the occasional normal voice line lmao 😭
ima check credits rq to see who did the voice heh
ooh okay thats the one i was looking for
Damn, but how is it possible to be alive? I just can't understand it. Isnt the body bleed out very quickly winth damages like that?
did they also do the lines?
the lines were done by ivan pretty sure
i was genuinely gonna make like a suggestion for like adding sound effects whenever you twist a weapon that is already inside of somebody like Bones cracking and shit but it seems yall are already doing it lol
it used to be just fleshy sfx
cursed
freak
hed be fucking dead he couldnt scream
sounds like someone blowing air into a straw thats inside some kind of milkshake
idk
yes lads, they put armor denting
they did indeed, its more visible on yesterdays announcements
well, how about the brain? Wouldn't id just fall out or something ? lol
it would
Holy mother of god.
will it be in early access or the free update though
That is crazy.
Hard to spot but yeah i guess
What's up with this?
this conversation is making me uncomfertable lmao. ima go play a cozy game 💀
slowmode
its been like this for a few days, feels like too much, 10 seconds would be enough
Server been blowing up with messages while i was gone?
No? Lol. There's a thing called the brainstem attached to the top of the spinal cord and all lmao
neither
its just preparation for when blood releases
For people wondering where i got this, i found it on the Itch.io page of Half Sword
Fair enough
At this point of gore, i guess bunch of players will get ptsd after playing the game XD
Yeah, imagine it in vr tho 
Dude its.not like a hose or spaghetti.. Go to school and learn anatomy
15 secs does seem a litttle much though, considering it's a #NoBlood day
when adrak sent an image with blood chat went crazy
I'd like to imagine it just fell on him and crushed him alive.
I now actually wonder what happens if something heavy falls on a willie in the new update.
is he saying a brain is like spaghetti?
No, I grew up in England. Good sir.
goofy asf
This chat is making me lol
No, thays intestine
intestines dont fall like that either there is a yellow substance keeping it from falling like spaghetti
instead of pulling out the brain, lobotomize him like this and itll be enough
Ain't that called "fat"
forgor what it was called
Hello,
New Half Sword Playtest Kicking
And new Willie 2.0 A.I. will kick your ass too!!
follow us on:
https://www.youtube.com/@HalfSwordGames
I Have Spoken,
GalaxyHighMarshal
Looks like an actual bullethole.
They posted so many new images.
Dude if you call it lines and compare to spaghetti, you didn't graduate school.
The cracking sound
curious how much have you missed
I've been off the server for about 2 days
For the people that want to see lol
My name is Miami. Miami Metro.
have you seen this one
Cracking you say?
mesentery
Saw it briefly earlier today, not the full vid tho.
Looking absolutely crazy.
Thx for sharing
his head would have been like: 
Cracking, i do say
lmao, are we all Dexter Morgan's dark passenger?
Yes, or explode like in the demo.. 
the new head exploding is crazy
I imagine with all the new gore tech it will make quite a mess of things
The blades would then reveal a song of ice and fire
A song of blood and gore

Feeling very good today on Half-Sword, got myself in the flow.
Did my usual parry practice for about 10 mins with npc health and mine on full so it lasts longer,
Basically got myself back in schedule since i was a bit rusty after not playing for a bit.
And i'm somehow playing better than usual, which is good to see.
Managed to also incorporate spins into my attacks, in a way that they're actually useful,
Like quickly spinning around whilst moving your sword in a specific direction so that your arm extends quick and with power to reach an enemy that is farther away when you know they're low.
Or just to knock people on the ground or get usual hits in.
woah 
after my 100+ hours, ive started developing a better playstyle myself, my moves are more flowy and slow, no aggressive swinging till my stamina is out, i just wait till my enemy strikes first
Starting to do the same, got about 85 hours in the playtest so far
Though doing more close combat with the enemy is still fun, so i'll get a bit more agressive there
Clean
Or just accidentally parry B)
🔥
bro just stared at you in shock
He was confused !!!
So close.
also i had an encounter yesterday where my opponent wanted a fist-fight
even after i knocked him out twice, he got up but didnt pull out his weapons
god strat, he cant even attack with his arm like that, so i can punch him calmly
So very, very close. Heres a pommel striek :3
Never seen a backwards pommel strike until now
BOMK !!
he died in shame after covering his face with the shield
What i love about pommel strikes is that if they got a hat, it just goes flying with a bunch of smoke
The key is breaking your wrists <3

Winning a brave stand with only pommel strikes would be a pretty crazy challange
Speedrun category
@wind charm New postion for polearm lol
The recoil on that thang is crazy.
Close Quarters Bonkage
hm, my game is different
