Only for the Willy opposition to start fighting among one another
I'd post pictures, but no perms so womp womp
i dont know what i am but i taste really good
hello ill be your killer fish tonight
thank you
Update: They're still killing each other
And goddamn, is the Billhook efficient at it
Just tried it. It's pretty good for me ngl. I might use it more than greatswords
That's the beauty of halfsword though. Everyone has different playstyles which results in people liking different weapons
mhm mhm
Polehammer is more of a vertical swing and poking weapon
Which doesn't work that well with my side swing playstyle.
But I'm glad you like it and are able to efficiently use it.
you can side swing with half-swording but I get what you mean
I also think it's more diagonal swing than vertical
Which is why it fits me so much. I like diagonal swings
I also like how it can do both blunt and sharp damage
for those in the speedrun community for this game, is first person allowed?
Massive point up, ya
THE COMBO I JUST UNLEASHED ON THE FIRST GUY IN BLUE (and everything else, but especially that lol):

Things that poke you make physics crazy lol
Very beautiful
So uhm, I found the game while rummaging through the Steam store, I play a hour, and then the game just breaks for me. Whenever I go into a match, it makes me lose instantly and IDK how to fix (dunno what channel to use bc no bugs channel)
I dunno like, for sure, any way to fix it, but worst worst case they uninstalling and reinstalling
did that, didn't work
In fact I did 5 times 🙂
playtest version btw
uhh, not good enough to handle the demo version
(dunno off the top off of my head)
That might just be your issue, check your settings, they're on low right? Graphics
I may have them on medium
Small question for anyone who could be bothered to answer: is there anyway to enable a cursor/reticle while in game? There was one back in the abyss/void version of halfsword, which helped out alot to help me aim my attacks, though I cant find a way to enable it in the most latest version.
bc, for the demo version, I open it and my entire PC just freezes
Try low
Not that I know of
ok, i will ty it on low
meh, thats too bad, hopefully the devs will add it back in the future.
They could be working on like a better one, that moves maybe with weapon and ect
Hopefully maybe
Maybe, the old reticle may not work so well with the improved movements in the current version ( but imo any would do ). But whatever, we'll just have to see, or rather pray.
Indeed but I have faith
Trainer Mod
It worked
I can't wait for the customization update👀
What is the best way to stab?
dont use alt if youre using a sword
ok
uninstall it and reinstall should work
otherwise go into files and change it manually
the quality 😔
no
the steam playtest is
Half Sword is an immersive, physics-based medieval combat simulator that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe.

blacksmith dreams
🤔 but it has more than the playtest
has more what? I have played the itch version for a long time, they have not updated it to my knowledge
It has different maps
I hate sand so I'll probably just play the itch.io version till the maps get added to the playtest
Alright also anakin!>!?
Idk how to describe my hatred for it
It's just pale yellow everywhere, no shades or nothing just pale yellow, it hurts my eyes to look at
How come when i take a photo in the photo mode it always comes out to low pixel size
192 x 108
1v1 friends when
i think i heard someone say the devs wont cus its a physics based game?
…how did you do that? My sword never draw cuts when I try to do that kind of thing
why does every kick from the ai turn my legs into paper mache
A spear is more effective than I originally anticipated
Quick jab to the gut when they're in range and the fight is over
The Chinese called it the "king of weapons."
how do you guys run it so smooth? I can't get more than 15 fps on lowest setting
Good GPUs. I've got an RX 6600XT and this is the only game I've played that I can't run at max with 1080p. I really hope the Early Access has a more optimized light engine...
how do i put npc on my team with trainer mod
I've got the same GPU
I usually play on 1440p because anything else feels too pixelated for me
I got stuck with a hand-me-down 1080p monitor with 6-bit color depth...
skill issue
I'm at rtx 1660super
that move where you kind of dragged the blade behind you was cool
It'd be very difficult
how come
It would be cool if you could select if you wanted to start your strike from your shoulders, elbows or wrists
i dont know much in coding so
Great question
Although it would be complicated
Physics games have insane client-side issues
Like be able to do throw thrusts
Seeing the same thing on every screen
You know what a throwing thrust is right?
I'd imagine you throw yourself with your sword out in front
Not exactly it’s like you throw your sword and then catch it by the pummel
Buh
So the momentum of the sword being thrown generates most of your power it’s not necessarily the most stable move but it has a lot of power
Well, not exactly the Pomel , but you catch it by the end of the handle
hitting literally everything but what youre trying to hit
what is the best way to block
yo guys
what's the lowest tier of armor (Or however they're called) with the Brave Stand Gamemode?
Pvp in this game is going to be impossible
Depends on the weapon. Assuming you’re using some kind of 2 handed sword, getting familiar with the passive parry system is a good place to start
Half Sword Playtest - Tutorial - Passive Parry
This is my second guide in regards to parrying/defensive play in the Half Sword Playtest. If you haven't seen the first one, I would recommend to check it out if you're confused about anything.
*** First Video: ***
https://youtu.be/sz0o8Ewks-Y?si=9u29S2WTEZeO_iaU
This is mostly just to expand on...
high sense gaming
It would be nice if we had like a stance menu
Physically press it and you go into a different sword fighting stance based on your weapon
Like like point fools guard plow guard things like that
Long point
Is the AI also Willie? Is everyone Willie?
we r all willie
So carnage is me getting hit by three big willies at once. My deepest apologies for writing that.
Back on the main topic, is there a way to swap grips on the polehammer and hit with the crow's beak side?
switching hands I believe?
not 100% sure tho
Huh. Not what that weapon is supposed to do.
It's like a lego game then. Just pop and all the limbs are off
true
Damn, two hoes?

Got a sexy little body and ya booty...
this is what hes whispering in my ear
Damn, no GIFs
What sensitivity are you guys playing on? I can't seem to find a good balance between slow enough to actually do things and still swinging fast enough to do damage
how much time are you putting in to practice?
I've played for about two hours and my inputs are still mostly inconsistent
how to win against spear weapons with long sword
parry
i guess i need to git gud on parry
Knock his stupid stick aside and half sword him to death
can i abuse their long reach and do half sword
anyone can drop their settings. it most likely wont positively effect how you play. just gotta keep playing around with it
ok i will saw their stupid head off god i hate the porcupine stick thing one the most
It most likely will given that other people seem to have found a sens that works well with this game
everyone plays different. like i said you gotta play around with it for yourself.
the chosen one...
"Use the Force, Willie!"
why does the center crosshair option not work
i'm gonna be posting more photos about now, just a heads up
Because there isn’t a crosshair
How come in the demo theres one
I do hope they add it back i keep messing up my slashes it would help a ton with players like me
Idk how but i cut his arm off
i see
Fellas, I'm learning how to 3D animate, do any of yall know any sword attack references?
yo how to make my character shirtless?
Fencing manuals and treatises r a good source
I need actual references
aight thanks.
this is not true
off you go
the marble cow just went too hard
btw, the thing im trying to find is zweihandler type references.
There r treatises covering two handed swords
In fact most if not all treatises include two-handed swords
oh ok
the flourishing swordsman
Flourisher
if i may ask, wtf is a treatises?
im praying for a setting to turn grabbing off.
man, I wish they added grappling back.
I'd like to toss my opponent into the fense once more.
oh okay
i just hate loading into it and being grabbed in the first 10 seconds
kril issue bro, kill them in 9 seconds then.
to be fair, some grabs by the AI opponent literally makes you unable to move.
thats what im sayin
How much pain is this on the balls?
Hey fellas, it’s been awhile since I’ve looked through this server, but is there any talk about upcoming updates at all?
no PVP, its hard to implement combat on physics based games.
There wont be any PVP online except for splitscreen.
Bots
Where did they say that? I thought online multiplayer was coming after release
there was a QnA type thing, I think it was removed or the server changed, I can't remember.'
Don't take my word for it though.
Devs suggested they will experiment with multiplayer (likely in a non-public build), but that feature is not a priority and will likely not come for a long time. If at all
The FAQ channel addresses multiplayer
where is the FAQ channel now
Multiplayer would be a pain in the ass. One person starts lagging 200 ms and I would just look in horror as he manages to hit me at mach 2
I'm not sure how servers work, but the physics in halsword uses velocity and stuff to calculate dmg.
"we will do our utmost to provide multiplayer after release"
doesn't seem unlikely to me, just will take some time
that's fair
200 ms is fine whatp
Could differ IMO
Going for the leg is very effective
Man, I know this is a sword fighting game, but I really want bows, I just love the look of arrows penetrating my enemies or arrows sticking out of my enemies as they continues to march with their undying resolve.
Well, bows weren't always actually effective, especcially not aginst full plate armor knights
They didnt always just go through the armor
Or armor wouldnt of been worn
But it did penetrate lower quality armor a majority of an army would wear
Better than nothin
What would be better is having bombards (Medieval pre cannon cannons) in game or Matchlock Arquebusses
Bows in my opinion.
152mm Howitzers
ICBM when
1000 arrows vs 1 guy in full plate
In the new U.S military update
my favourite thing to do is to shank willies with knives.
There were never 1000:1 odds in a actual battle, maybe a small skirmish not a batter
In full plate armor I drop my main weapon take out the dagger, grab my opponent hold alt and try to stab them in the neck
new variant? I havent seen this before
Death paddle
Man, I hate accidently stabbign ym enemy through the neck
how do i mod halfsword
good ol' shovel from demo
Glaxy :)
ral:)
That one's been around for a bit, there's also the other shovel
Femtaral
When gore first game out the long version of that one could easily split people in half from top down
It's a falchion
i'd love to see that lol
thought it was a falchion, but didn't know if it actually was one until now
I'll see if I can dig up a clip
whatever willie sharpened it must've chosen a wicked sharp blade angle
thats so rad lmao
It can still chop a Willie up pretty good but I haven't been able to bisect someone like this with it since then lol
dying light 1 ah cut
i havent done top down, but i have chopped them in half horizontally a good number of times
Yeah that one still works well, also works with the two handed sword from that tier
This axe also does it well
he good?
'Tis but a scratch
So true lad rubb :)
-# also hiii hellooo hiii!!!
Hii!
Youtube had cooked my brain, I double tapped this to like it
Smash that like button
Brofist!!!
HII!!
lmaoooo
idk bout yall but i cant wait until i am able to manually modify the physical properties of a weapon
how the hell did this kill him? T-T
the same happened to one of my opponents, the only diffrence is that he had armor
hmm
maybe it hit his heart a lil bit?
idk man
idk bro
yeah idk
just started playing today xd
ty
I cooked
why is there a cat meowing when i die
Damn
i remain the only one with a full green build
The Green fit goes hard AF. Imagine painted armor as well.
Customisable name imprinted on armour when 
schizophrenia
House Banners and heraldry on breast plates would be amazing
That would be fire AF. Personalized Etching would go hard.
-# Thanks Rubber for saving me from the itch.
Even a herald badge on the cloth chest pieces.
I'll pay for Franky's energy drinks to make it happen
oof, you don;t know what you signed up for......
This would be so great
how to customise clothes like this???
It is a combo on Mods. Check out the modder-guild-hall channel
thanks
Fuck it, I'll give him my vape too 
Lol I was about to post the video but I forgot it was not public already [bummer](#creators-chat message).
The man never stops working.
I don't think I want personalized itching
Sounds itchy
Lol damn, wrong consonant again!
-# Foiled by the public education system once agina......
agina
I really wish I could say that was porpoise.
-# that one was.
Was the lack of "on" on porpoise?
I feel like this a cryptic message that we need to solve. so far it appears the next update will involve a porpoise with an embarrassing allergy.
Reminds me of when I was a kid in science class and someone was supposed to read a line from the book we were going through, they reached the part where they were supposed to say "organism" and ended up saying "orgasm", then correcting themselves to "organasm"
My dyslexic ahh cannot be saying shi rn
100 arrows vs 1 fully plated man at arms
Sorry for the late reply, im at school!
lol. I feel like every bio teacher gave that passage to the poor readers on purpose. I also have this experience.
Lmfao
Next update...brought to you by @little verge
Bro I wish I was dyslexic at least then I would have a reason. I just type far slower then I think and do not proof read in chat.
Needs more Psychedelic imagery. Dolphins are hyper sentient creatures trying to save us from the enslavement of the Fungal consciousness prison.
So I'm gonna be that person again. It's a vowel, not a consonant
a bot cut off my hand and then my head
well than and mcwondering best. why can are so smart then I prove read that then? huh?
I understood that....I cannot recreate it to respond but I understood it.
Willie is a talented SOB.
fr
yeah and okay to then, mc wandering breast... we are the can see about that...
NEW LORE DROP! LETS GO!
Willie is learning from us all
i was running in circles screaming before he grabbed me and slit my throat
Your never not gonna have ever will.
BARS
lol Maybe I should make a Dyslexia AI rap.
I dont need AI 😈
Listen here guy, Some of us can hear good music but have zero ability to recreate it!
I went to the store!
and I when to the Pool!
I when yeah when the score!
and I then exit pool!
Raggamuf....dead
Reasons to invest in a bevor.
It's easy, you just start up a DAW, slap in a couple synths, and then stare at it all in existential dread as everything you create sounds like a turd and everyone else tells you it's great
lol. For me I'm grooving and everyone looks at me with that look of 'haha yeah buddy you do you'.
Lmfao
The double bonk tho
every time I log into this game, it scares the shit out of me with this fucking chorus, the sound of which turns down after half a second by himself...
OHH!----
AH!~
That is true horror experience.

Poll [Willocracy](#general-catfish-🐱🐟 message) in Action
why is it so funny
the main thing is that my PC loads the game for quite a long time, and during this time you have time to relax and start enjoying the silence. My God, this is a real screamer.
when do we think the next update will relase?? Just from seeing the WIP posts im exited.
I'll take it ig
Early access, which releases in Q4 of this year
A
MUST.... TURN UP GORE.... MUST.... GET SICK ASS HEART PHOTO........ ARUUGHH
mfw I get repeatedly stabbed in the face
loony toones lookin' picture
"never give up!"
That's wild asf
tfw you want to rest but then you remember what that fucker said about you
one-legged grasshopper style
how to get new hat
gopnik style
forgot how fun this is
do i know how to play? no
am i having fun? yes
holy shit lowering my sense feels so much better
You’ll get there champ 
bro is there any way i can pick someone up and slam them
like wheres the best place to grab
If you sprint into attacks you hit harder
I really wanna be able to shoulder ram someone off a castle
somehow, the more i play, the more awkward i feel with the sword...
is there a way to like stomp downwards
Is there a way to drop ye gloves?
I don't think so, just space to kick.
tis pretty sweet.
added points if you fall off too but end up stabbing them when you hit the ground
moving the camera in the direction you want the kick can add ALOT of power, do a ( or ) motion when kicking for big money.
here is a example
shame it is still so far away
great times take time.
sadly
when update
soon™️
jokes aside probably q4 of this year
wtf...
Mohannes Alich
Croissant

accidentally decapitated this guy https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jLORhJnRsJspLq-1_?invite=cr-MSwyNG4sMzU4MDU3ODc3LA
We need a goddamn pointer to see where the hell willie is thrusting
real bro
like the thing in the demo
man i cant wait for the next update
WHEN?
idk im fishing for info
i'd love to see dlss and new maps like the one on the store page
the SECOND modding becomes a thing in this game I want a glock
I think everyone can agree with me here
we all want glocks to our medieval combat simulator
Bro the game is lagging for me idk why
It was fine earlier nows it so choppy does anyone know why
when’s the next update
October 2025 or so
this could be a manuscript illustration
is it just me or does m2 with a weapon and a shield hit harder than m1
shields are insanely good blunt weapons
yeah
This small, little, spear wielder is now surrending
Planning to use his own long stick against him
I guess he won't be smelling the flowers anytime soon
goddamn
Hi btw, I'm the professional spear hater
This fearful, fearful Willie didn't just went spear, but also shield, AND armour on his arms
"Hah, got your nose!"
But he didnt covered his legs
Jump button?
those screams sound unfamiliar
How do I thrust?
I just made my opponets sword fly behind me lol
The spiked spear isn’t that hard to fight with longsword. I use half sword grip, low until in range and violently raise my sword to throw their spear up. It tends to clip me, but I can get in close and saw them back and forth with my half sword
Half Swording is effective
and fun
So which release are people playing the most atm?
no updates???
I just one shot a Fully armoured knight with a single thrust
in Half Sword mode. . .
thrusts seem so clunky to me
I wish armor could get damaged over time because sometimes I spent ten minutes fighting a knight, and I know that’s realistic butttttttt man it sucks
Thrusts are only really effective if you get a 2-3 step head start into it. Also consider using the alt-thrust when half-swording or doing alt stances
i dont get how there hasnt been any updates since December
never tried using alt befor
When stabbing with alt (with swords), pull your weapon in closer to your body as opposed to extending your elbow out. It's much more accurate and stable.
Alternatively If it's a two handed weapon it is recommended to hold right click first, then drag your mouse to aim the weapon. Then from there double click and hold left mouse (you can try alt a little as well but clicking is more stable)
This is a much more stable and accurate stabbing pose, and a proper halfsword thrusting stance.
To practice your aiming, there's two different ways you can keep your FOV.
Third Person- with Low FOV, so you get a closer view.
or alternatively;
First Person- with High FOV, so you get a wide view of your weapon and it's positioning.
-# note, this works best for polearms or two handed swords
[Watch This Clip to see it in action!](#game-footage-🎮🎥 message)
there are no more updates, its a playtest.
focus is on early access which releases in Q4 of this year
ok
q4?
the last 3 months of the year
oh wow sheesh
The controls show "center crosshair" but I get no crosshair.
Still waiting
How do you even kick?
space
ok
I just one shotted a max armoured enemy. . .
again. ..
I just disarmed a enemy without even harming him
noob here just downloaded how do i access the actual arena? still in the cave "experimental" mode
there is a Cave area?
Playtest
yeah i meant playtest, forgor lol
Demo version crashes my ENTIRE PC
thx yall!
np have fun man
Get rekt
wait, so your armor can get dented???
True
i headbutted a willie on accident and my helmet has a giant dent
SWAG
True
Wat how
I just cut off both of a willie's arms after he grabbed me and held me on the ground for like 3 minutes
this is CATHARSIS
is it me or the ragdoll mechanis in the demo feel weird and unstable compared to the playtest
These guys were BUTCHERED lol:

Smack a helmet a bunch of times in the same spot with a mace or something
It'll start crunching and become red
I'm guessing there's also chances of punching through armor with billhooks and such since i've done it (probably unless it glitched through)
I guess you may be affected by a skill issue
Sorry for your loss
Rude
armor can dent, but it's hard to really notice whilst fighting
still really cool when you notice it though
used a mod to get it in t3, i use trainer mod and ovrdth's selector
you can find more info about them in #modders-guild-hall
thanks bro
It is extremely easy to bait the ai to attack in a certain direction and counter their attack in a long sword duel
you can also find info on them on youtube
are these available on the steam workshop or theyre external
nexus and i got the trainer on github
Yup
HalfRat
what does the trainer do vs the selector
Adds a nuclear ICBM
trainer lets you spawn stuff in, selector lets you save said loadouts and load em up to use em
you can also use quality of life mod to spawn stuff in but i prefer trainer
nop
ok preciate the help
whats the name of this weapon in the ovrdthj selector
tier 2 mace long i think
something like that i know its a long version of mace i just dont remember which one
Selector trains and trainer selectors
#game-footage-🎮🎥 i only have limtied loadouts do i have to manually add them
ooo i forgor to tell you
so when you make a loadout in trainer, press ctrl + L, then open the selector mod and press the save loadout button, name it and you good
the loadouts already there are just prebuilt ones from ovrdth
in the selector mod by ovrdeath where does it say save loadout?
wtf what version is that
you mighta installed the wrong one 😭
yea i got it from his vid
or maybe mine is not up to date
ima go look rn
https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/11?tab=description dis is the one you installed right?
when u double click ovrdths loadouts does it show u loadouts cuz mine doesnt
nvm i figured it out
I found a drawing of you
holy shit
that is fucking amazing that might have to be my new pfp
hm
keep it
now you must exclusively use halberds in any game that has them
-# that's a halberd, right?
its debated a lot in this server
i just call it a halberd or a voulge
i have no clue about medieval weaponry man
the pole HAMMER is a pole AXE and I was informed that it apparently just translates to polehammer or something and I have no idea
also I recently found out scimitars are apparently racist which is certainly something
i get all of my info from robin swords and a few other youtubers so take what I say with a few pounds of salt
I like it, I wish you could fit the tail and halberd in but then the rat would be too small. I think you nailed it

Since you are not holding left or right click it’s not on anyway
In my 5 hours of gameplay, I have knocked myself out against the training dummy, stepped on a sword and lost a foot, won a fight by being the last person to bleed out, cut a man in half with spear, fought a guy hopping around on one leg with one arm like the black knight (monty python), and escaped the bounds of the ring by being kicked over it.
10/10 most fun I had goofing around with fancy pokey sticks.
in my 200 hours of gameplay, i have recently learned how to do this

jus put your leg over the fence using kick
One message removed from a suspended account.
Just had a team fight where early on a teammate went down, me and a spearman managed to win and as the last guy dropped I let go of my weapon ran over to my teammate, I grabbed his hand and then a split-second later he succumbed to his injuries :(
The friends we lsot ont he way to glory.
you mourn your allies. i make sure they stay dead. we are NOT the same
okay... I tried to do the kick jump thing
it did not go well.
(I kind of destroyed my pelvis and bleed out in 2 seconds)
dont feel bad. ive only done it twice
this was the first one. it didnt record very well so i had to get my redemption
I was gonna post a pic.. need to keep chatting lol
Progress, I am on the fence, not dead... but I also can't move. Nap time.
you're using shift when you turn right?
I have learned a thing.
:D

you guys are getting creative, that's awesome
I hit a guy hard enough with the back of my spear, his brains fell out. Head was still good. Probably out there trying to peddle MLMs stuff.
MACE >:D
Mace to the Face... not a pretty way to go.
some guy just tripped over his own shield while charging at me for the second time
Did you yeet a shield?
yeet em whenever you can. cant risk willie keeping that kind of leverage
im pretty inconsistent still but im getting there...
I had one fly to right and out of exisistence.. closest I got so far.
Just YEET, good bye sword.
#game-footage-🎮🎥 message I still can't get over this
has anyone else lost a foot by stepping on a weapon?
Once
I tend to avoid dropped weapons now if I don't have good footwear

weapons are usually best in your hands lol

next time I'll try to remember this
you get a very small window before the autosave hits
I went through like 40 or so rounds with that loadout and only had to giveup once before that happened :/
I like getting the random loads out myself.
it's annoying that I hit him in the head then he recovered so quick then half-sworded through the armor plate sideways somehow???
I assume at some point there will be more control on that.
Yeah weapon customization is planned and willie customization
Willie is the nickname for the generic fighter I take it?
looks at his bald head No further questions.

#work-in-progress message weapon customization, then a bit down is willie customization
I presume we'll also be able to select what armor we'll use but they haven't revealed anything like that yet
just remember, if your diving into the unkown, dont forget to put some protection on your willie

getting hurt on the willie would be painful
getting your willie hurt would be pretty painful
pissing blood on willie
what did willie do to deserve this
but did he actually deserve your willie's willie blood to be on willies head
YES
These guys deserve it too…
carnage turned into a brave stand 😭
"THEY JUMPING ME SAVE YOUR BOY"
Sounds like a horror game.
Lol hamster... just... praying one of them decides to take someone else out.
how to do suplex and takedown in wrestling half sword
Any reccomendations on mods? Which are the best?
I wanted to make a joke that I am the best mod in here but that would be cheap so I won't do that
So I'll just answer your question that I use MassClown's mod since the 0.3 demo and always had a blast with it, helped me with my photography to set the stage lots of times too and such so I would highly recommend giving it a try
not gonna lie imo the fist play is completely fucking terrible now. respectfully. i used to love it until that big update, now i’m getting grabbed and kicked 10 seconds into every fight and cant do anything about it since the mf wont let go of me. still gonna play it tho
this guy tripped me with his hoe but he made the grave mistake of letting me get back up
true
You get used to it and find ways around it. Trust.
i’ve got plenty of hours on the game and i’m still yet to figure out a way around it. They grab you and don’t let go, if ur lucky you will get a bot that doesn’t do it at all or will let go instantly, if they grab the arm area I’ve noticed u can get out easily. But anywhere else at all ur cooked. idk i’m just crashing out over it since i really enjoyed the game before.
Utilize the kicks 😎
but that shits boring imo, im not gonna have fun with a dude grabbign me as we spin around spamming each others shins
Also you can grab his hand from almost all parts of the front of your body
yeah i noticed u could do that but most of the time im being grabbed on the shoulder where i cant do anything
or on the ground he grabs my torso and i cant get up since we get tangled together and he doesnt let go
If shoulder grabbed, you can use your other hand. Just give a nice swing and grab
idk im just rambling because it annoys me every time ill probably happily play it again next time
Ground grabs are tricky. Usually spamming kick gets me out quick though.
HAS ANYone here found the most 'grounded" gore settings
even if i get up from the ground the mf still holdin on tight
the middle one is still pretty od
Ended my career with this grab…
haha ive literally been grabbed and flung across the whole arena and out the fence. its lovely
I did this to him 1 too many times. He got fed up.
i clipped it but its on my computer and im lazy so im not getting it
damnnnn
yeah i kinda just swing my fists listening to music i cant do all that fancy stuff
pretty cool
a disappointing amount of hours on just fist play too
I spent a large chunk on fist play too. Probably my most played STILL. I didn’t like the weapon play as much at first.
😭 beautiful
yeah im pushing 100 hours on just fist. somehow.
maybe its time to stop!
I’ve stepped away from the “fancy stuff” and started learning how to parry
HI FRIENDO!
hallo
This mf took my hand like some anime special attack.
same here, quite not easy
I saw a video yesterday about the passive parry system
oh? mind linking it?
@winter wasp
Yessir!
update really ruined wrestling brah
Update?
When will the early acces be out
#game-footage-🎮🎥 message trying out long-long sword, pretty fun tbh
do you possibly have a link to tyhat tracker you have?
i stream and i think it could be cool to have my viewers see it
TuboMouseTracker by mikehama, JP Getting Over It speedrun twitch streamer
his twitch about page will have link and FAQ
thanks homie
thoughts on the final move lol
both those clips were wild. did it yesterday while streaming and chat was going crazy lmao
i saw people on different maps is that possible?
what different map?
idk i was watching youtube and someone was fighting in like a house or a tavern
there are 3 versions of the game, early demo, demo and playtest. early demo has 4 different maps
that might have been a development tool tho
maybe idk
where can i find the early demo
oh
man, two-face is different from what i remembered
Can I control which leg I kick with? seems to always be random
how do you kick?
when does one get embed perms?
i believe at level 2
halberd rat stays then : )
That's new for early access
can i use it myself or is it for devs?
Gentle Hammer is probably my new favorite playstile
A few gentle tabs on the head, and when they wake up, just hug them until they surrender.
Afterwards, shake their hand.
always protect your willie?
https://youtube.com/shorts/dBJImhAdA5Q?si=1o8LS7SGzqoexEem has anyone managed to do this in halfsword yet?
epik
It is an important thing to do!
Looking very good
assuming this is very much different to the demo on the steam page
everything about that model is yummy
Guys what do i feel like the WIP news are the same armor in game but smoother
thirsting for more cuirasses
puddle'ing for more
I long for the day when the scythe returns
will there be different models in the early access other than willie or is that saved for full release
Not me waiting for the new update to drop Soon.
It's definetly coming, so be prepared
been confirmed a while ago
I’ve been waiting so long for my baby😭
there will be, i reckon willie will be removed and replaced with a proper human model
Nooo, not Willie
Awww :c
Willie replaced by Franky
NOOOOOOO
Sadge
tragedy.
He should be a skin that you unlock.
I'd love to see Willie go against Frank in a duel.
oi im not certain now, dont take my word for granted
willie will return
Willie will remain in our hearts forever
Like an Hour/playtime based achievement & reward system or smth.
I hath awoken from mine slumber for but 10 minutes - pray tell, is there yet a date for the next patch?
Ahem….
Hit his little knife mid-air
S00N…

Very nice

Soon it is (i have the willie shakes)
I thought they were done with patches for the playtest?
We should every time people start asking for an update lolz.
If so, we got a long wait ahead for the early access release
Just the entire HS chat starts spamming soon lmao
This might happen sometime
Can't wait to avoid my family and responsibilities once more - soon
There's surprisingly more messages in general than here
HAHA
I’m so stoked for the next update!


SSON
but 
guys I dont think it's gonna be 
october i think the time frame is saying for the early access
guys how can be a wip?
Does it actually take that long to make a helmet or are they just releasing small sneakpeaks
sploinky
is there a mod that lets you customize your loadout?
these won't be added in free updates, they'll all be included (and a lot of other stuff) in the early access version
How’s much is early access gonna be
Hilarious
that is unknown, cant help you there
how would we know
kind of wish they hadn't left us on the patch that messed up fist fighting and high armored longswords 😭
Probably gonna be 10-20$
yes
whats it called
almost definitely more than 10
how would we know
intuition
Oh my goodness how does one obtain it
intuition that they are money hungry?
Sweeto
Just say you're poor 🫃
it depends on how much content the game has imo
i have a question is wip people that have the playtest or am i completely wrong
Save $1 dollar each month, when it comes out, you would most probably have enough money to buy it
everyone can get the playtest
Yeah? How much bank do you have
true but considering it'll launch in early access and they'll add more content later on I'm pretty confident that it'll be at least $20
yeah fair
@tender quest my master, would you please me with some private lessons?
on using greatsword?
Is the play test still the newest version or?
lesson one
Hoy do you make the quick air changes without ending on the flor?
Like that swing is crazy
But the speed and the precision makes it almost impossible
Probably reduced sensitivity which gives you more control over your swing but they're typing now sooo
when im going for a wide arc swing i hold shift to widen my stance so i dont fall over
Always be shiftin
what software do people use to record gameplay? ive never done it before
how did you gwt that armours?
don't do that, really just dont
always holding shift leads to awkward moments
but its easier to dodge
trainer mod?
correct
so i can get rid of clothes in rank 1?
Not really just leane how to balance yourself with your mouse and opposite directional keys
Clearly somebody never played octodad XD
Wdym?
You can do that fr?
Had no idea
oh boy, i do wanna play that someday
a ghost interrupted my match
the intervention
slight error
what software do you record with?
i set up obs to autostart and buffer record
i fw the pfp i got the same painting as my desktop background on my laptop
I thought that wip ping said "hold onto your wife, willie" when I first got it I may be losing it
kicks are op damn
gave him a hard reset lmfao
It's fun, but I think the balancing in this game is alot of fun esl in full armor combat and your dude is bleeding out but you still up cuz you him and the enemy is debilitated so hard to where all he can do is yell "sire please give me mercy"
rib cage priviliges revoked.
it got such a nice rythm
One thing I wish you could do is grip with broken hands to just grab a shield or small knife
well your hand is broken tho
I think I'm starting to get the hang of polearms. It's a stark contrast to how the longsword feels and handles, but I actually think I like polearms more.
