What
It will crash your computer if you keep playing
No
willie made me do a flip https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jsTJgzjY7xuhZNjZu?invite=cr-MSxMRTEsMzAyNjkxMjM5LA
So, I've got in the dozens of hours of play testing and video watching. I noticed, that despite being effective, Stepping into your strikes isn't a thing oin vids? Unless it's a hema move vid at least
i step into strikes all the time lmao. i just subconsicously do it
Thanks man. I must not be noticing it sub consciously in vids? Or am I just losing it? That'd be a fair assessment. I notice that most starters at least try going for the parry first instead of being aggressive
I did fencing in undergrad so I innately know to beat a blade then strke while avoiding the weapon
i think we are all losing it tbh, everyone online seems to think that everyones tryna start arguments, sure i shoulda worded it different and youve probably havent watched my clips since i dont really post here often.
Of course we're cool, I didn't pick up on anything hostile. I'm using utube for the vid watching. I'm of course am gonna take your word for it. My questions focus should've been more pronounced, which was on the "is stepping into your swings effective?". Get what I mean?
it was a backstab 😭
yeah i get it. i dont know much about the physics of this game to determine that. typically you just need to cut the face or run as you stab (so ig it kinda works there)
Ensure youre holding shift as well before swinging, it adds a lot more power to your strikes. It changes willies stance to a more proper one!
Stepping back can be really good too. https://streamable.com/g63py6
Thank y'all for the confirmation, I thought I was imagining things. I know from fencing that you can avoid a hit from stepping back
And yes that's hella sick
yes stepping back and going forward into your hits is the move
Foot work matters a lot
"move like water"
Side stepping to put enemies off line with you works really well also
Hold any two-handed sword out in stab mode, then when an attack comes in step to the side it isn't guarding
You'll block and then can go for your actual thrust
Speaking of momentum, you can use moving from neutral into thrusting stance kind of like a fools guard
Far smoother than most of what I pull off
Made one for The Simpsons fans! lol

Those spikes are fucken deadly lol
lol they are!
Too powerful
https:// www.youtube .com/ mrzacnono does a good job showcasing that weapon
And he's in this server lol
In generally just remember unlike most games, you don't have any active or inactive frames, if weapon bonks weapon bonks
There's a really nasty one-two combo with poleaxes too
https://streamable.com/rqfkbt
I find myself interrupting attacks that wind up, like the falchion and dagger forehand swing, I'll get undeneath the right arm with either my own backhand swing or left hand forehand swing
I'M NOT gonna be able to pull that off rn gang 😭
Yeah, the lines you have to swing some weapons are definitely a bit wonky, sometimes there's ways around them
I definitely do not pull moves off every attempt lol
Something I've been doing all night since I saw a vid of it this mourning is doing zero to heroes, starting with boxing and going up in ascending order as you win, never rerolling characters, and resetting on loss
Really good for practicing various armors and weapons, you might find you like some more than you knew with a bit of use
Put the vid of the one run I uploaded over here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV8atojN6sY saw that earlier
I've since learned the kickboxing meta :v
took dude 25 attempts
yeah same vid I saw :)
hahaha
Took two runs for me, but I got decent rolls and was also already warmed up
Another good reminder, every single button has multiple utilities. you can pull some pretty slick shit with good timing
Died my first try to a spear through the eyeball :v
goofy meme hit for yall as a cherry
Not actually as memey as you might think
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VvvtSdhDUzw?feature=share
Outside of the phasing through your body, of course :v
I forgot about that short lol
theres actually a speedrun of this
I bet there is lmao
thats why i came here lmfao
Interesting to have around, but idk, I don't really like how the game plays when rushing
fair
i mainly stick to the farmer class runs, not for speed, but how many kills in a row you can get with a certain weapon
See my problem is I like all of the armor classes lmao
That's why I've continued doing the zero to hero thing since
I enjoy hovering t5 - t6 armor, fighting t6 -t7. Makes things a little spicy but balances out my unending love of the Greatsword that Militus got me into
the moment I figure out the sauce to do this reliably I shall be complete
yk the world record is like...just over a minute...somehow, someway, they beat all of them in just over a minute...
what the fuck
did
you
just do
I've only done that on complete accident lol
thats sick af dude
I genuinely believe it's the auto guard, tried for a couple hours afterwards to do it again but no dice so far
not me but this is coolhttps://medal.tv/clips/jc41ZNiffGehPcMr8/vpiSFO4UY?invite=cr-MSxKbjAsMzAyNjkxMjM5LA
Them high velocity kicks go crazy
You can also basically always win boxing by just starting with a vanilla sprint kick
bro somehow didnt die...apparantly he doesnt have mods or damage turned all the way downhttps://medal.tv/clips/jpCuF9AtlzwadQONC/vpcfSdlSK?invite=cr-MSxOTngsMzAyNjkxMjM5LA
bro i do that at alot of farmer too, just get close and kick them...unless they have pitchfork then you have to legit fight for a bit until you get close
Also works well if you have a shield
kicking breaks my legs
yeah, any kind of spear is fucking deadly lol
Oh! I can answer that one. When you flinch from ramming into (or kicking) an enemy hard enough, it seems to force you into a sword swing that only has a bit lower power than normal
So if you hold a good chopper at ready and just bash into them, you often just turn it into an automatic combo
huh, interesting. Thank you!
Not a problem
It seems better the "bouncier" your weapon is, but I'm not 100% certain
I've just noticed it from doing sprinting kicks with the lighter armors
I really like most of the weapon in the game in their own ways, but man, it's hard to beat two-handed sword in medium armor for feeling good
Feels like of all the animations, they currently have the smoothest animations
Most one handed weapons def feel floppy
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jsUCAE5IGEma-tumn?invite=cr-MSxXaGgsMzAyNjkxMjM5LA never done this before lmao
That first axe handle tap must have precracked his skull or something lmfao
maybe lmfao
Is there ever going to be a thing where you can play against friends?
we're hoping so
A clean one tap always feel good
ok last one i swearhttps://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jsUIwwe4zhOFYn8HV?invite=cr-MSxrSUwsMzAyNjkxMjM5LA
you can intimidate willie if your power level is high enough. E X U D E T E R R O R
Have the forbidden technique in exchange
Man is ready to groove
id be confused too lmfao
do a barrell roll
He feels the pump from there. Knew he wanted 0 part
The martial school of the crocodile goes hard
imagine htis, but in real life
Nah homie, you got that Simon strat down. Be the drill that pierces the heavens!
And it happens to your buddy standing next to you in the pike line
Pierces the heavens you say? 🤔
Oof, Poor willie's willie has been abused by so many of us
Had to be done
Have you discovered the light that is m00vement yet? ;) Hand swaps make those brutal
Not familar with the term
Oh, that's because I'm absolutely forcing it lol. M00 showed me how to flourish with 2hs a while back so I've insisted upon the tech being referred to as such
haven't messed in a bit, habe old clip of it
basically, pull a strike back and up, swap hands, and strike downwards as you carry the momentum
whoa
spin
i meant for the trainer mod
Hmm, interesting
you can also go staight up, straight down to get some less arc'd strikes but maintain the momentum
does anyone know why i can't send images or videos in this chat or general or is there some level up system i don't know about
There’s a leveling system you don’t know about
anyone else have a problem when whenever they stab someone there game gets a ftal error and crashes?
got 43 in a row with peasant big axe
First attempt
can't say i've had that problem no
nice
lost to a hoe
It uh, worked sorta :v
Well the most common crash is due to direct X so let’s start with that
Make sure you’re running in dx11
Not dx12
pitchfork overrated, nothing is worse than your arm being insta grabbed by a willie
lemmie check
real
Pitcher fork is really dangerous to engage, but when you get past the end you're golden
i usually just slap the pitchfork away and then close in
and im gonna assume leveling up just happens by talking in the chats i guess
I thought I knew how to chekc but apparently not, could you help me out?
Go to your in game settings, it should tell you in the first section
yeah if you're using an weapon really you can manuver the pitchfork away then slash or stab
but what annoys me more about the pitchfork is it somehow can instant knock you out if the stick hits your head slightly lol
fr
that has happened too many times
yup Dx11
So this, basically?
lemmie get a clip of it happening
in a way it's like a feint you go t do one thing then switch it up like with the 2h weapon you used in the vid
and sometimes for some reason you just get smacked away by a weak 1h swing with the force of god
I think it magically fixed itself because I can't get it to happen again
You’re welcome
It’s what I do
messing with the inverted curve one myself rn, found that it has to be slightly more vertical due to being a touch shorter. also helps to do the movements slightly closer together, but the over all idea is there
you're presence must've fixed their game
That one was smoother
oddly enough, a good bit of follow through with the mouse is needed with this one as well
does anyone know if i can stream and record my footage with obs or is it one at a time?
nvm, queestion answered
Whens the next update?
Soon tm
no more for playtest, next Upd is EA proper as far as I know
EA proper? im stupid wdym by that
early access
ohhhh
right
well i'll be exited to see what that'll be like, i know the game still has so much further to go before FULL release given it's barely even in an actually early access but i'm exited to see what the full game will look like when it comes out
Just checking in, is the plan downline to ever add pvp?
like online pvp to fight players?
yeah maybe
cuz it's not confirmed but they'll test it and try it but it's VERY unlikely. And still unlikely but we could get a local multiplayer
to fight friends and that
because the balencing and the amount of reworking you'd have to do to get a multiplayer pvp, crossplatform or anything like more than 1v1 it would be very hard
So, I did it by accident this first try, but you can do a neat stab with swap
https://streamable.com/17ogbt
nice
i have a good understanding on what you can do in this game but idk how the hell ppl are finding new ways to stab
yup! they can be a lil odd at times, but the force is still enough to stagger if you hit armor :)
favorite stab tech ;)
I have way too many clips lmao
Ive actually done that one, it's a bit weird
is it hold right click, alt stab but press q?
hold left + right click, rotate to left and let go of right click right after. alt is optional but extends the range a bit more
Another technique for the crocodile school of martial arts
does anyone know if this is something like, "unlockable"?
yes, just mod the game to put something on that button
oh i guess thats one way to do it
It's probably going to be kingly level armor
doesn't work for me
nvm im a dumb ass i worked it out
weapon weight absolutely will play a role in the timing window
yeah
was my biggest hurdle to doing it consistently
You're basically just swapping back to normal grip just, so you're still in half sword grip, but you left hand is no longer on the sword
You kill willie in one run 250 times
really or are you joking?
I got the billhook to decapitate him
Im for fake
Im launching your leg in the air
im gonna do it anyways cuz im bored
Have fun
LOL 😭
no one has even got 250 yet lol
Frankyknifes told me once in a interview
UNASS MY A.O. >;)
excuse fucking me LOL
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
no, you actually need to reverse polevault willie by his willie, that unlocks it
easy!
ahh yes
Rip
Thats the free 50 dollars for steam link
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It's just streamable for uploading clips, this servers doesn't let it embed for w/e reason
need to grind chat for xp because fuckwits kept posting spicy stuff. iirc it's like 3-6 xp per minute, takes like 3 hours of nonstop xp for you to get perms. otherwise, it'll take a day or two of semi consistent chatting
I like the billhook a lotsies, what's your guys' favorite weapon?
is anyone else getting that glitch where getting hit in the head with a shield twice is enough to knock you out?
skill issue
do you think you'd be able to stand after getting hit in the head twice with a shield?
it's not enough force. a pushing motion over a distance of one foot shouldn't be enough to knock someone out
Ah, if just that, then np
I like fists because theyre cool
NPCs are pushing their shields into me. They're not hitting me over the head with them
and I'm still getting knocked out
even sometimes I run into them and get immediately knocked out
they're bugged, I tell ya
Hello everyone, please tell me.
Game crashes with this error - LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\PakFile\Private\IPlatformFilePak.cpp] [Line: 4758] Retry was NOT sucessful.
i hit a shield with my sword once and i got knocked out
was it a buckler
like the red one
ye like the rectangle ones small but knock me out i guess
One of these
they're the ones you see in tiers 5 and 6
please level 2
or maybe just 6
idk i'll try it again and see which shield was it, it might've just been a one off glitch
you probably bumped into it
most of the time you cant tell a shield is touching you from the front
unless you are in first person
Shields have a lot of mass to em
I yearn for full plate fist play
how do i play in those game modes im only in the abyss
Playtest not demo
ok thx\
anyone wanna chat and play halfsword?
im still trying to find where the playtest is
Steam store page
i looked but il look again
Feastables
what
it will say to play the full game when you click on the demo under play
then you go to play the playtest now
ok i will see
also damn how many hours do you guys hve on the game i have 66.7
thank you and 8.5
np
90.4 atm
how do i kick?
I did my first parry kill 😄 brought the sword up to deflect, used the back momentum to swing down and up into the armpit, down willy went
Spacebar
thank you
Just wait until you smack a blade aside with your gauntlet ;) it's 🤌
I still need to get good at swing control, and not doing broad movements with my mouse
Ye, there's a good bit of a learning curve. big moves have their place but can definitely put you in a bad spot fast haha
I use them too much, because the light attacks feel like they have no power. and I like playing armor vs armored because I can practice without instant death
and that's also something you have to learn, go for open weak spots like gaps in the armour, such as the armpits or occasionally parts of the legs
beyond stabbing, I'm unsure how. and I can't really get my stabs to connect. I do go for the legs, or at least try.
Never underestimate the use of ALT in your strikes. it can straight up be a "hit" button at times. ALT is also the primary stabby button, though there's a lot of ways to accomplish that
You usually don't want to go for the legs, it gives a reach disadvantage, the neck, armpits, and face, if their wearing a breastplate are usually best
for example, this is 100% alt. no mouse movement, nothing
I'm full armor vs full armor at the moment. usually I end up knocking them down and forcing them to surrender, as I am using a longsword
Usually the best method,but you can get in gasp sometimes
commence the jigglin'!
Halfsword hugging is also pretty effective if you can hook them in the transition, then saw like a mf while backstepping and kicking. pretty much ensures an owie
oh, really hard to replicate, but I think I just did a combo while swinging in the air, flicked my sword to the left like a parry, pulled it back to the right, back and into a thrust.
The sound he made when I sawed him in half here lmfao
Theres this historical halfsword technique thats works really well as a thrust, idk what its called though
Brother, thrust is is literally the most common attack from half sword
Its from halfsword to one handed thrust
Something like this
I am scurred I'm throwing too much info at ye, but try this stabby method. hold right and left click, let go of right click as you swing forward and optionally use alt. I usually sidestep to line up, but if you're more comfy with mouse movement you do you
even works close
What this guy did
not at all! I love all the info. gives me things to try out
Oh that is a BRUTAL stab
Definitly the hardest weapon to fight in low armor, the fucking christmas tree lmao
a bit hard to do the stab consistently though, I keep curving the stab into a one handed swing
Yeah the timing is pretty tight
You can pull shenanigans from that pommel thrust stance jsyk ;)
I like to parry a lot tbh, and do strong strikes, so this definitely works for me
It can set up some scary fast swipes too
grrr people the ai giving up but not LETTING GO of you super sucks
woops
cutting up the clip as we speak
ok maybe not my pirated capcut is acting up
i stand corrected
No more face
i hate the stab from the torso so fucking bad
it is the most useless attack in the game
it cant even generate enough force to cut their shirt and yet my character refuses to pull the knife to the side and do an actually useful attack
Do you double click or use ALT?
the alt stabbing, when your character can either stab from the side like a normal person or just lose all braincells and suck it in and out from his stomach futilely
gotta start a swing to dictate the start position of your stab
i do but that is the worst for tempo
something wild js happened
I decapitated myself with my enemies disarmed sword still flying through the air
i just want to be able to stab back and forth without my imbecile character getting confused and start beating on his stomach with the handle of the knife
Do an actual swing, then as you complete the swing transition into a stab
fucked around, when you pull back move your mouse left or right to adjust start angle
Rough example here, you want to transition between your attack, you should really be taking time to "set up" your next attack unless you've backed off from the enemy
sounds like he's referring to 1h
Ah, that middle stab is actually useful when you grapple with your offhand
get in close grab and arm to stap them from using their pole, then just start sticking them
can you go do that in a fight
i need to see if it works
because no matter how far i pull my hand right it will just gravitate towards his stomach
i am literally bringing my mouse to the end of my desk in knife fights trying to fight my character from sucking his knife into his stomach and letting loose an absolute waste of energy
i get an average of 4 successful knife throws and 7 thousand stomach pats with my handle
I'm trash at knife fights, but it can be done. I've noticed it'll lock in a pose if you dont give it a lil shimmy in each position as well. kinda janky but doable
alt held throughout
how far do you space when trying to poke homies? you need a lil bit more space than one would think to generate enough power to penetrate as well
like at least an arms reach
i try to maintain that but the enemies always want to kiss me and my character has drift back and to the left
Should be good that way. Idk man, I swing my big sticks and I don't have much issue.
And I'm on lowered willie damage as well, just for reference
Oooh, new accidental discovery for you. right clicking and trying to stab, I cant even get that center stab stance, it's just either side
yeah that's just using the 2h stab
Oh hey, I can embed now
I dont screw with 1h much so it's news to me lol
You should try out shields
They're not like, better. But they are interesting
pavisse boxing is fun
I try to be decently rounded in my abilities tbh, everything looked too much fun on a mechanical level to not dabble
Same problem I have
Only pain point I have are the great hammers, but even then there are.... tactics. ;)
Wooo I found a new bug
okay so the damage sliders : as you turn the damage slider down it makes bladed weapons more deadly. as you turn the sliders up it makes blunt weapons more deadly
the sweet spot seems to be very close to the "default" setting
but playing with the damage slider at max is a ton of fun
If you win a battle but then manage to knock yourself unconscious as you're holding G to win, the next match will be frozen and you have to quit the game manually
what a weird specific bug
but yea apparently after you defeat your opponent you can simultaneously win and knock yourself out and that breaks the game
That second fight was crisp
transition smacks are still the scariest thing a 2h hammer can pull imo
Does anyone know if enemy teams fighting each other in small buhurt and brave stand is a common issue? Or is it just one I have often?
and crouching imparts even MORE womp. I shouldn't be surprised, I'm always the one harping on not defining a key to just the function it's named.
19 Views. Watch BEST SPIKEY STICK TACTIC (NOT CLICKBAIT!!!) and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
I mean, I'd fuck right off into the stratosphere getting spiky pegged too
same energy, just less energy
I'm kind of not a fan of polearms. at least with the swords I can occasionally get into a weak point and slice knight willy up. but I just can't seem to do anything at all with a halberd.
I'm still struggling to have any oomph in the swings of some weapons. It's like that weird feeling where you are trying to fight something in a dream, but all you same to do is lightly pat them in the face and mildly agitate them
Why he grab it at the end
I assure you the polearms can hit weakpoints well, they just handle differently
The biggest thing for halberd chops is that you space well, and get your tip up to speed before it hit
If you cant do that, go for half sword, a kick, drop it and draw a backup
everyone shits on the mace, but the impact force is no joke
sorta dumb that it's more than the polehammers tho
Damn! Good hit! Drawing blood with a hammer strike is a challenge in this build
unless you manage to snag somewhere with the spike atleast
half-sword abyss trainer mod + SuperStrength ON + Mouse Sensitivity & Body Density all the way up = funny
if you want to add energy I recommend stabbing with the grip end of the polearm and leaving it in for a second, there's a fun bug that happens when you grab it again and the hammer snaps back into your hands
I mean, its usable, i definitely dont think its great
Watch Fly me to the moon and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
Yeah, it's more difficult to actually land hits
but it is a nice finisher if you manage to throw them to the ground first
Its more that blunt is pretty iffy when non blunt weapons can already give decent impact, especially axes
I tend to like throwing out a mace, then just deck them with my shield
anyone have links for like world record run info and stuff
behold, the willie who REALLY didn't like this
Yeah! Weightier weapons are nice for throwing! The big candlestick especially
Axes control just like swords, it's weird
the weight feels somewhere between a mace and a sword
i think my lock on strength is above default but i dont think i changed it
is it slightly higher than the other 2 settings by default?
yeah
ok thanks
Plus, our kicks have solid impact too, especially from a sprint
Idk, I like just clocking willie out with 1 or 2 hammer blows to the head
i see that this run is the WR https://www.speedrun.com/HalfSwordPlaytest/runs/zgjx4oez is there like specific world run categories for each class / weapon?
WR? People are doing speedruns?
well its world record for most kills in this video without dying
All methods of killing willie are acceptable
anyone have info on this #photography📷 message
I definitely think there should be different tiers for armour categories at some point
i need to be sure before recording lol
I just dont think blunt helps all that much until the end stages are armor vs other options
Yeah, I mean, I mainly use it for t8, just because going for decaps is a lot of fun
I notice that when I have polearms Willie just immediately charges in and starts spam stabbing me.
can't say I blame it. it is a bit annoying that they only have to tap me with their weapon and I fall apart. meanwhile I have to swing really hard to seemingly do anything to them. I think I'm just going to stick with swords and get good at those.
which polearms are you using?
may be stupid question, but do you reckon multiplayer would be in discussion
Anyway, just make sure to keep them at range
They are considering it, but it would likely be after the games full release
I could imagine tourneys with mates being hilarious
I'm using the bardiche, that weird thing with the two spiked bowls at the end, the poleaxe. pretty much all of them
wouldn’t it be sick to have sumn like a katana to swing around
Yeah, you still might be able to do that, just on splitscreen
Yeah, just keep them at range and keep striking them, when you get more accurate and faster with your strikes they won't stand a chance
can anyone send a screenshot of their settings in photography
also, when they get too close I recommend hitting them while halfswording, it pulls the blade in closer and gives you more force behind it
were you thinking of different settings?
oh ok i think the strength is slightly to the right by default
I have tweaked mine previously, so they're probably not at exact starting values, but I do remember both damage settings being slightly lower than the lock on strength settings when I started out
thoughts on Willie?
deserves everything we do to him
bonk!
you should’ve cut him up after
meh, it was funnier to knock him out with the helmet
and leave him with the mother of all face bruises
run into it, you'll bust his nose open
nvm, you did
it's better if he's running too
but then I'm a weirdo who almost always spares his opponents because it's funnier to see them cartwheel from a direct mace hit and then wake up seconds later going "NOOOOooo!"
the only ones who die are the ones who got something embedded in them during regular combat or the ones who pissed me off by doing something dumb like grabbing me
I feel bad when I kill a Willie dishonorably.
I mean, when you're playing blunt you gotta wait just to see if you got them in one hit
for that satisfaction
I generally try and end fights as quickly as possible
it's pretty simple maths: the longer a fight goes on, the higher your chances of dying gets
Same for the most part, unless I'm practicing punches and really enjoying watching willie flailing his shattered arms about
Then I'll typically keep aiming for the arms just so I can keep getting the satisfying bloodsplatter without knocking him out
Watch Eat my fist, raggamuffin and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
ngl this scares me in a primal way that I don't like
This is why you keep your willie clean, so the spores can't infect it
sometimes I'll just be an asshole though
grabbing a weapon after impalement is a must
that fall, dang
and the weirdest death I've had yet
I've noticed in the latest playtest that weapons phase through bodies harmlessly a whole lot more than before
Yeah, probably because of the dynamic slicing
Getting torso decaps always feels weird
Watch Half Sword and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
my weirdest death lol
that would be wild
ha
Guys, how you pick plate armor against non armor enemy?
honestly was wondering the same
yo this game is gunna be so good
literllay my favorite games the last 5 yearts
*literally
kinda pissed that its gunna be a whole year till early access
just been playing hellish quart until new stuff comes out
These games take a lot of time
ofcourse man
Just look at exanima, we're lucky to get updates once a year
The game already blew up
Unlike other games, we have a demo and a Playtest publicly available
but the streamers that play it are just playing it for laughs and giggles. where the game is SUPPER complex
At this early of development
most poeple think of it as a party game
Idm
Doesn't matter, it still gets the game out there
it's a pretty silly game
To play
besides, the later builds aren't as goofy looking as the early builds
True
like the demo combat looks silly as hell
Indeed
i laughed in the beginning but not many players are thinking about parrys and spacing and shit
so im worried about it being traated as a silly game
*trated
*treated
We are getting loads of free publicity
That stuff takes practice, no streamer is gonna just practice lol
We haven't started marketing yet
i hope the developers treat the game like the developers of hellish quart
So we aren't worried
We will treat our game like Half Sword
You just enjoy playing the game
dude seriously the best game ive played in awhile
are you working on the game?
Of course
No worries
bro please, let me play any updates yall got
You're already playing them
u a dev too?
no
oh lol
just a fan of the game
what yall have done with the armor is insane
the progressive mode in the demo is fun af it should b brought back
Early Access
I loved it just not the jank
but ive puts dozens of hours into just trying to master how to poke inbetween the armor for a kill
I just swing my sword at their head n knock em out LOL
even knocking people out is fun
Yeah, would be fire with playtest physics, we'll have to wait for early access tho
the reaction of hits is so god damn good
hope early access is sometime soon
i never got into HEMA type stuff before and now im looking at realistic medieval fights on youtube to learn more shit, obsessively
check the roadmap, it's not looking like it, we'll have to be patient
these games take a ton of work
itll be after gamescom and the steam showcase
everything needs tweaking all the time
chucked dude right before the game crashed
can blunt weapons destroy chainmail or is this maille standard just clipping into willie's chest?
aaaaaaa
don't worry mate, we exist
anti flail gamers are out there
i think the problem's that the ai don't punish you for doing that
like maybe the ai should be more and more realistic the more battles you survive?
can i play half sword from download on itch.io, when i launch it they said "GPU Crashed or D3D Removed"
I think it's because my pc tooooooo weak
Where do i report problems?
Thanks
how do you get armor like that
is big funnie pit updoot coming?
No joke I was fist playing and I tried to kick Willie AND I HIT A DAMN DOUBLE BACKFLIP, LAND ON MY CRANIUM AND DIE..
This game is amazing
I wish I hàd a damn clip bro

anyone know the button to kick
space bar
Space bar G 😎
how yall playing this arena shit
playtest
nah demo and playtest are different, just request access on the steam store page
it'll automatically accept you
ohh i got it
Does anyone know what exactly lock on strength, body density and bone snapping do?
from the demo options
Press F to lock onto enemies, strength is how well your camera tracks the enemies while holding either left or right click
body density is how thick their muscles/etc are, how easily you weapon can glide through them and, in turn, how easily you strike bone and break it.
Bone snapping is how brittle/how often bones break or fracture
Body density and bone snapping go hand in hand, if your body density is high then you wont be able to hit bone as often.
I'm a rocketman!
ohh ok thx
i hate full armor fighting its so boring
this aint boring to me
i wish we were able to crunch enemy's arms like this
everyyone has preferences just to me it feels like im tapping them instead of doing damage
I like the tanky T8 fights because they only end with perfect precision shots
The axe flying toward the base of your skull:
r8 the armbar
how to get image perms
level 3
damn
does anyone have a list of the item ids so i can spawn stuff with half sword QoL mod?
should be in the QoL files
thx, didnt notice it
wth is a modular weapon?
Most of the weapons are made of different modules. For example a sword is made of a blade, a cross guard, a grip and a pommel. There are lots of different versions of these which get randomly combined to make a weapon
Here's my daily clip, I'm going back to play Palworld now.
btw why is it that half of the time when i try to spawn a weapon with QoL half sword nothing spawns?
daily reminder to #1327207709715595336
right in the ass
are there any plans to make this game vr compatible
so eventually?
same as multiplayer, maybe
multiplayer would be actually so cool for this game
would be kinda hard with ping though
imagine training hema at home in vr
since movements are pretty precise in this game
why does this game actually have one of the best human gore sytems ive seen so far
yeah but like even aaa games arent on this level
Next-gen Engine and Next-gen Dev's.
genuinely what was the last time you saw AAA game actually cooking
Combo works well
indiana jones and the great circle
70$
bit pricey but still a good game
sir this is bethesda i can assure you game has so many bugs
suprisingly not that many
its a machineworks games
wolfenstein
bethesda only the publisher
oh
🤷
aaa games dont cook that much anyway
they seek profit indie devs mostly seek fun
why is it so hard to ping the mod role
@tender quest 
It’s not, you just @ mod
i think that just ends up pinging a player named mod
is it possible to change the arena?
There are no other maps yet
whats the class above armored knight gonna be
ah was just wondering from the trailer on steam
the one thats grayed out rn
That’s odd. I’m gonna try it
<@&1080390104562016306>
lemme try
It works
@sleek oracle
Well you are a mod
wtf.
Alright no more pinging though
press space after typing mod
Had to test it out myself
inb4 the whole server starts pinging mods


Didn't show up in the search bar, so i just assumed it wasn't an option, guess it works though.
how long is the current play test open for
Until it's not 🤷♂️
Probably until early access at least. Though nobody knows if they’re removing the playtest after 🤷♂️
Well
Id imagine they do
4 Vers of Half-Sword before full release is epic either way.
If the playtest gets removed then i guess whoever still has it, can show it off as a sort of collector's item
whats the diference between cinematic and epic graphics
why the big fps drop
i get 100 fps on epic and like 20 on cinematic
that makes sense
stabbing is actually op fr

thanks Willie
why did dude even try 😭 (ignore music)
Glory
Got a little tired of him
i can get my sword wrapped around a dude like that but- how'd you bring him to the ground?
It's basically just like a spin kick, with or without the kick
Wrap it around then spin with shift and then crouch
Sometimes it straight through him
think i got a good way t onerf the placene.
basically reduced the number of spikes and isolate them towards the top.
"reduced the number of spikes" ?
My god.
mmm. bloody
This must hurt a little
nahh hes fine
True, must be therapeutic for him
is this game online?
No Multiplayer
will there be multiplayer?
😐
guys what is the version youtubers are playing bc for me its a black flat map with npcs
apply for the playtest
i did how long do i have to wait
oh
then once you get it you can do cool shit like this!
im pretty goated with the daggers
ok why do i pass out after touching my opponent's shield
whats your player damage set to?
They coated it with cyanide
liquid cyanide is crazy
why is there a game demo and a playtest\
im immeddiately choosing the most violent setting
because the playtest is a better representation of the soon to be early access
does it cost money
No
probably
THIS IS GONNA BE FREE?
Full version definetly will
no
Yes
aint no way this quality is free
Its free
for now yes
Halfsword ea is free
Demo and Playtest is free, Full Version & EA is going to be paid for
we arent talking about the playtest. we're talking about early access
Its free
there is no early access yet
indeed
i think the end game goal for this game is to have multiplayer 1v1s in VR
we really do need a vr sword fighting multiplayer game
it's gonna take 10 years but im down
the closest thing we have is that sword fighting game on the Wii U
Blade and Sorcery is one
theres no real multiplayer
probably cheaper to get HEMA gear then a good vr setup
only garbage modded port multiplayer
its really not
Rip.
if you can even get a HEMA club in your city, it's a subscription of 40 dollars and up every month, and after a time, you're gonna want to get your own gear which will total up to thousands of dollars
idk how long you can leech of borrowing gear
can literally just buy a quest 3 through affirm for less
and the quest 3 is actually really nice
DAMN
40 dollars?
i mean people pay for netflix for some reason so this type of subscription wouldn't be crazy
that was the cheaper one
and the only one in my city
the other fencing one was like 170 dollars for 3 lessons
not even a full month
Damn
well, in my country things like phones, GPUs, consoles and other electronics are quite expensive but maybe i should've guessed it was different in the US
if you think about it, you're paying 40 bucks for future health insurance by exercising
Exercise, Entertainment, Neat Skill, Hobby, Sick Gear.
No wonder some people say it's life
plus, if you are a big history nerd you get to experience what you study
a fencing mask is literally steel mesh bound together by welding, the cheapest usable one you can get is 70 dollars
maybe i can go there and buy off old gear
it could be the strat
for now i've done swordfighting with my friends
you need to get full face coverage otherwise you might hit them in the face (i cheap out and can't get a durable face covering)
and the pvc pipe needs to be 3/4 inch+ and 50 inches+ in length
i know people that pay gym subscriptions so they can be fit enough for HEMA lol
no shot lol
i need image perms
Talk more
kinda funny how the first armour people historically acquired was a helmet, but in fantasy that's like the first thing writers and artists get rid off
The audience needs to gasp and faint of the sight of their favorite actor
Imagine Half-Sword E-Sports.
indeed, in movies and paintings it's ideal to the message or entertainment if you can convey emotions on your characters, having the face exposed helps alot in that aspect
Loving the Goedendag, been using it more and more lately.
Had an intense duel with a fellow user of it
Spinny attack
Love spinny attack
that was a crazy spin move lol
Funny thing is that even if it's just a fun and cinematic move to use, when you spin you actually cover more space in Half-Sword, so it does have it's benefits
why is my character having an extra chromosome
willie feels weak as hell but then he creates all this force by just dragging the mouse, doesn't even use stamina
Willie takes after their player 
momentum is a hell of a thing

damn you newton
My Willie (apparently)
what the hell even happen
Had to use my power-up special move
how did you teleport your weapon back
https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1327023891851382824 You can find more about it here
ok
ISTG they gotta add a flop button, sometimes I just wanna fall down manually and murder a mf with it
casually using the force
people who have a thousand hours on this bare-bones game on their way to atomize the poor willie for the 52354th time
He wouldn't let me go so I decided to start strangling the fuck out of him
Reasonable reaction
hey guys, when i get into about 10 - 15 battles my character and the npc characters legs start to go funny and its causing me to die or make it seem like a cheat win when i have to kill an npc that tripped over. does anyone else have this? if so is there a fix? it works to restart the game but id like to get into the higher level rounds and not be tripping all over the arena
Never heard of Funny Cursed Cheating Legs until now
its like theyre walking over invisible stairs or something
I cut off his back and he's still alive
okay he died now but he was alive for like 20 seconds
I guess it worked??
Try to get folded like a pretzel challenge
the spot
i wish they gave you either that gun they use to stun cattle for slaughter or a big mallet to finish people off with
i hate having to aim swords and missing 5 times
Just hold your sword next to their throat
that makes them surrender, not die
Sprinting kick to the head until their neck breaks :v
Just missed you
Its taking iver
that never ending gore sound comes up after like 5 rounds now and its so irritating
Yeah, i got it on my few last matches so i had to restart
I'd honestly be surprised if it wasn't removed next update
it makes me cringe so much.
Willie joinking his speae
I'm pretty sure I like, skinned his neck off
DAYUM
Watch Ayo?? Sensuwill and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
are mods allowed to post this kind of stuff??? 😳
how do i get the like arena game mode?
lmao. Died and won at the same time and is still letting me go on
And you'll be in full white as well
i cant WAIT for the new half sword update. i seen the leaks galaxy sent, and the Bruises look AMAZING.
you keep me and Willie out of this.
You wanna download the playtest.
how the fuck did you even get up there old man snow
Follow Willie here to our steam page and request access to the playtest! It'll be automatically added to your steam library
Ok
53 Views. Watch WILLIE SLAM and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
why can only mods use the /playtest command
this how
so You bastards dont spam it, because we know you.
One hell of a time
can they fix this gore sound glitch already? its making me want to commit an unspeakable act in a hotel room with a shotgun
What
a bit of a squirter aint yah?
hes just making sure his weapon is sturdy and durable before the weapon, checking for any kinks
Willie slam
Willie slam
"splinter Check"
make a role that allows you to use the command and if its spammed the role is removed🗣️
but give to who i dont know

What mods you people use
I just use the Trainer Mod by Mass Clown, myself, that's it.
I play Vanilla. #modders-guild-hall For mods.
Slow mo, n spawning weapons for me

oh, and this.

also do blunt weapons do anything if you hit armored opponents anywhere but head?
I cannot underestimate how epic that is
Literal Arrows
not too well anymore. They gotta be real good hits.
weaker limbs
I don't wanna clipspam but I have a clip from last night's stream of me struggling with a polehammer, hit bro three times in the face and he stood back up

i turned off the voices in the game quite a while ago because it gets really repetitive
Who needs weapons anyway when punches can do this
Targeting those hands
if you're unarmored and the enemy has a sharp sword janks very strong
Janks?
the hell is janks

what janks
the bladed weapon can sometimes clip inside of you or cut off a limb out of nowhere
music or actual sounds
voice volume
You're gonna make Kepon cry, such evil.
uh
i also turned off the music because i listen to other music instead
the sounds are pretty good though
it gets a bit repetitive hearing them say the same 10 lines after like 4 hours
this is so stupid
He stands up after full hit on face with warhammer
But fist strikes always one-shot
well fair enough
yeah the polehammers are quite shit for no reason at all...... really odd decision
The Tweak Stab
Not really shit, just harder to use
If they were to slightly up the damage and remove some of it's weight then it'd be a very nice weapon
i find the autoaim makes it a lot worse because it always aims you down so its harder to hit the head
there should be a non-vertical autoaim that only rotates the camera horizontally
It's got the same mechanics and stuff as a Goedendag, yet when i try, i cannot use it like one, because of the weight and other factors.
Doesn't seem like it would be as heavy as it's portrayed to be
BRUH, the moment i said it, the next enemy refused to go down even after like 6 good punches
SEVEN
And those counting headshots only
There were like 10 bodyshots
i think the main problem is if you hit their weapon it feels like all the momentum is just straight up gone
EIGHT
Clean neck slice
Kinda.
TEN
It's a good weapon, it's just "weirder" to get used to
HOLY SHIT FINALLY
actually just turned off autoaim and started using the polehammer again andits working a lot better than i remember
yeah definitely
me after blunt weapons nerf

6 Views. Watch sometimes i hate willie and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
i cut his neck and his leg but i failed to kill him when he fell over so i ran around until he fell over and did this
yeah blunt weapons are way too underpowered....
meanwhile ...

Watch M00 might get upset at this one... and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
these are the same damage settings from the same stream.
