[lean elk]

Guys i found an amazing glitch!

when you die but win like moments before (example: you decapitate someone but you get stabbed)

you cold turn almost completely white! (but just clothing like pants, gambeson, etc.)

[timid imp]

oh yeah that is willie the white

[lean elk]

ya lol

its such a cool glitch

hope the devs keep it

[timid imp]

i've never gotten him but i've seen some of my friends get him before

hopefully

[lean elk]

ive gotten him twice now

today was his second coming

like i decapitaded a guy than got stabbed thru the gut

and lived to become death

[light garnet]

waiter! waiter! more bevors please!

[gaunt dagger]

protecting my neck with drip

[young jasper]

Finally my throat can be safe from getting slit

Ive been playing on max HP and find it enjoyable to stab a guy with my sword and leave it in him

[sturdy jolt]

Early access release tomorrow?

[little verge]

Nope. Quarter four 2025.

[visual heath]

Damn we’re getting silksong before halfsword 😔

[tough yew]

doubtful

[long veldt]

I really hope that among the different armor types we get the Maximillian armor! It's maybe my favourite one

[tough yew]

maximallian armor is out of the time period for this game unfortunately

[lean elk]

HES DEAD 😭

[long veldt]

oof ;_;

which one's the fanciest that we may get?

[tough yew]

fanciest thing? something like this potentially

[cobalt rivet]

when slowmo mode and coursor settings maybe?

[topaz epoch]

missing the dick armor/decoration

[blissful coral]

My boy got those coconuts

[still hollow]

archduke sigismund's armor is my favorite armor set

its the perfect balance between being gucci as fuck while still looking like a piece of armor youd actually wear to go fight

Like the 16th century gucci armors are clearly designed just to be decoration pieces for royals

[tough yew]

not really no

[still hollow]

while this one still looks baller as shit but also looks like something youd go wear for battle

[tough yew]

they were meant to be fought with

[still hollow]

talkin bout the greenwich sets where the armor piece is like gilded from top to bottom

[tough yew]

like most surviving renaissance harnesses were meant to be fought with. their decorations are only meant to express their status

george cliffords harness today still looks stunning to look at. (despite it loosing some of the features it had back then) and it was meant to be a foot combat harness.

but yeah im pretty sure we agree anyways

[floral stratus]

Can we please get an update

[solemn holly]

the playtest is no longer being updated

devs are working on early access release for q4 2025

[floral stratus]

awesome

[dusk karma]

YESSS, YEEEEEESSSS

[floral stratus]

goes from update soon q4 release\

awesome

[feral blade]

Does someone know what will be in full version?

[dusk karma]

That shi looks like the weakness in a boss

[hard vault]

Make sure no one hits ya pizzle

[tough yew]

wear mail

[terse cypress]

i gave him a chance to forfeit. he didn't take it.

[minor jacinth]

balls out

[terse cypress]

The armour stays on during se-

[snow gulch]

just gotta practice lol, looks better doing clean swing anyways

[dark hazel]

the new bevor that has been announced looks cool

[hidden zenith]

Till now no update?

[hidden zenith]

Agreed

[terse cypress]

the playtest will not update.

[hidden zenith]

Oh

Didn't know that

[small parcel]

RAAAAH

[tall saffron]

guys

how to get game

[terse cypress]

Go steam

Get playtest (or the demo)

either fine

request access for playtest or download demo

they’re both different

access is given instantly

[dusk karma]

The demo is underrated

[tall saffron]

how to get access

[dusk karma]

You got into the server before getting the game?

[dusk karma]

There's people accepting requests all the time

Js click it and in a few hours you should have access

[tall saffron]

tnk

[terse cypress]

i got access literally instantly

[dusk karma]

I waited like an hour and it was done

But i didn't check it out for the whole hour

So it very well could've been accepted instantly

[tall saffron]

i got game in steam but is not like footage in discord

[terse cypress]

it’s not the full game dude

it says playtest for a reason

[tall saffron]

ok tnk

[tough crystal]

How do you guys grab with both hands

I keep trying to but my other hand keeps bouncing off of them every time I try to grab them

Half the time the game won't let me grab at all

[agile oyster]

Q and e iirc

[tough crystal]

Nah that's the thing that I'm confused about

I'm literally pressing the grab buttons

And half the time the game just bounces my hands off of them

[agile oyster]

i would try having the object at your feet

its wonky for me to but thats the method thats helped me

[tough crystal]

I'm trying to grab people

[agile oyster]

either that or crouchwalking into the object when the grab is activated

oh lol

[tough crystal]

The items can be buggy too though yeah

[agile oyster]

i tbh havent had issue grabbing people

if anything i get stuck grabbing people lol

Im unsure--it being physics--if theyve accounted for heavier armors not grasping vs bare hands

[terse cypress]

it does sometimes just bounce off for me too

[agile oyster]

itd make sense if youre a knight, it being next to impossible grabbing onto anothers piece of armor

[terse cypress]

I use it to my advantage though because spamming it counts as hitting lol

[agile oyster]

when you yourself are limited in finger motion

[terse cypress]

It happens in the peasant/commoner classes too

[agile oyster]

Ooo, im unsure of any methods to make it more indicative

[terse cypress]

denial again

[dark hazel]

lucky

[terse cypress]

Not really

brother choreographed that overhead a mile away

[dark hazel]

you kinda just flailed that sword

tryna hit a small spot

if i were you

i would hit their head

tillv concousion

[terse cypress]

no

[dark hazel]

or actuall head surgery

[terse cypress]

I like the satisfaction of stabbing armpit

[dark hazel]

you looked like you tried to pull your sword away more than aim for the armpits

[terse cypress]

also define flailing

[scenic isle]

i wish there was mordschlag in half sword

[dark hazel]

trying to hit something by randomly swinging your sword

[dark hazel]

yea

[terse cypress]

That was not at all what i was doing but go off i guess

[dark hazel]

upgrade from the damn sledgehammers in the game

[scenic isle]

i stg swinging polearms in this game feels like shit

[copper eagle]

anyone think its weird that half sword publisher is giving the game out for free

[scenic isle]

why does my willie have the range of motion of a 80 year old grandma as soon as he picks up a long stick

[dark hazel]

i rather swing axes

[copper eagle]

i hope the devs are getting paid

they should be making a killing

[scenic isle]

its just the playtest, the full game prolly gonna be paid

[copper eagle]

its one of the most played games on steam

devs should be making money

[dark hazel]

no

[scenic isle]

even axes are kinda awkward to swing

[copper eagle]

cuz the game is gonna get boringe ventually

[terse cypress]

brotha

[dark hazel]

it's a damn arena playtest

[terse cypress]

that’s called playing a game too much

[dark hazel]

it's 5% of the game

[copper eagle]

lmao

its fire

[dark hazel]

also we are half sword players

[copper eagle]

should be paid

[terse cypress]

when you do the same thing over and over of course shit’ll get boring

[copper eagle]

stfu lumi

nobody cares

shh nobody cares

poor halfsword devs are getting scammed by publisher

[dark hazel]

what

[copper eagle]

also i saw a dev interview, it seems like they arent making their own game anymore but just doing whta the pub tells them to

[terse cypress]

@little verge

[scenic isle]

i would like half sword to have a sort of campain but i dont think the way the game is made is made for that, not yet at least, if they make willies not trip so much, give more range of motion to polearms so they arent only usefull in m2 mode and make it easier to pick up shit from the ground i think they could make something neat

[copper eagle]

calling the mod?

hahahahaha

[copper eagle]

game needs multiplayer

[scenic isle]

true

[dark hazel]

#faq

[copper eagle]

imjust saying

[terse cypress]

Read the rules lmao

[copper eagle]

game needs multiplayer

[copper eagle]

nobody cares ipromise

[lethal crag]

https://tenor.com/view/megs-slap-slap-fluxpuck-gif-26568210

[copper eagle]

cant even react to message

tf is this

[soft osprey]

Stop baiting, it’s literally in the very first rule
#rules

If you don’t like the server you don’t need to be here

[scenic isle]

yeah but lets me honest here, it would most likely be infested with cheaters and if thats the case its better off without it

[lethal crag]

🫡

[copper eagle]

its illetgal to say nobodt cares lol

[copper eagle]

play with friends

type shi

[soft osprey]

You’re being a dick to everyone.

[lethal crag]

to ragebait

[copper eagle]

or discord

[soft osprey]

Learn how to respectfully communicate. Also one of the first rules

[copper eagle]

the game needs multiplayer no kizzy

[dark hazel]

wait are we banning the guy becuase of react immage

[soft osprey]

#faq

[dark hazel]

that's what i siad

[copper eagle]

im just saying the game needs multiplayer

no kizz

[soft osprey]

Okay we got that

[terse cypress]

He’s telling you to read the FAQ

it’s mentioned in there

[tough yew]

i mean what you said is the exact opposite of what the publisher wants hsg to do but go on about it i guess

[copper eagle]

wym

[steep herald]

bro it's just a meme chill

[scenic isle]

not all games need multiplayer, and with halfsword if there was multiplayer it would both have a insanely high skillgap and be infested with cheaters, not to mention that currently the controls are still very cluncky

[copper eagle]

halfsword needs multiplayer :DD

[tough yew]

it doesn't

[dark hazel]

i am going to

sledgehammer you

[copper eagle]

cry

[tough yew]

its outside of their vision that they want to deliver

[scenic isle]

then explain how you would implement multiplayer in halfsword, enlighten me

[spare drift]

Maybe needs is too strong of a word

Half sword would be nice with multiplayer

[copper eagle]

i made a game b4

multiplayer in gamesis hard asf

[terse cypress]

x to doubt

[copper eagle]

but

[scenic isle]

i smell cap

[copper eagle]

shit hard for everyone

[copper eagle]

it was a shitty infinite runner

[scenic isle]

constipation

[dark hazel]

have you added multiplayer in it?

[copper eagle]

fax

[copper eagle]

no

[tough yew]

if he added multiplayer in it it wouldn't even matter

[dark hazel]

you have no right to talk then.

[copper eagle]

wym

[tough yew]

phyiscs based games are hard to get working on multiplayer

[copper eagle]

im saying multiplayeris hard

[scenic isle]

not only that but playing in high latency would be borderline impossible

[dark hazel]

(he never siad that)

[steep herald]

how is someone gonna cheat in a physics based game, most cheats break with physics, last time i tried that in this game i got flung

[copper eagle]

you guys are letting the devs cry all the while r.e.p.o. is fully functional

[tough yew]

hence why they're making local split screen

[copper eagle]

yall soft

[spare drift]

To be fair tho, from a business standpoint he is the consumer and the consumer has a right to make suggestions about the product

[spare drift]

Hes entirely wrong but he has the right

[tough yew]

repo doesn't have the same complex phyiscis system that half sword has

[terse cypress]

says the dude crying and baiting

[steep herald]

yo fr? they making two player?

[dark hazel]

what the fuck does repo and half sword have in common???

[scenic isle]

i think that maybe splitscreen/local mp would work but other than that i doubt it

[copper eagle]

r.e.p.o. is fully fledged multiplayer physics game

[spare drift]

Just shh now

[dark hazel]

if you are gonna rage bait make fucking sense!

[copper eagle]

so mad i made u cry to the mods

[terse cypress]

Nope

[dark hazel]

it was 1 guy

[copper eagle]

they are both physics games

[terse cypress]

I referred them because you broke rules

[copper eagle]

idk what ur so upset about

[steep herald]

wtf happened? why is there a war

[copper eagle]

itsa physics game

[terse cypress]

maybe learn how to read

[copper eagle]

idk why hes somad

[soft osprey]

Alright I gave you multiple warnings

[copper eagle]

i made him cry to0 the mod

[spare drift]

Ok but rigid bodies are way less complex than whatever tf halfsword chugs with

[dark hazel]

THERE IS A BIG IDFFERENCE BETWEEN FULLY IRGGING A BODY AND JUST ADDING GRAVITY

[steep herald]

somad?

[dark hazel]

somad

[spare drift]

Nomad

[dark hazel]

no he is mad

[spare drift]

Like blade and sorcery

Just call me Shakespeare already

[steep herald]

nah picasso

https://tenor.com/view/ok-i-like-it-picasso-gif-25278181

[scenic isle]

thats like comparing the physics of the bottles in the cs2 maps to the physics in teardown

[timid imp]

https://tenor.com/view/ragebait-rage-bait-lol-lmao-gif-3554026694133497645

[soft osprey]

He’s timed out just move on from him

[spare drift]

No mods needed, my bullshit was enough to shut him up

Oh

Nevermind

[steep herald]

the physics in teardown lowkey go hard

[terse cypress]

Thank you good sire

[scenic isle]

ngl i think a duel to the death would be a better way to settle the argument without the mods

[steep herald]

alr wth happened why is there a whole war

[dark hazel]

RAGE BAITING!!!

https://tenor.com/view/kill-monster-franzj-killer-monster-drink-gif-19166821

[calm ivy]

I'm working on a Halfsword project.. does anyone have the list of insults, or really, a list of all the voice lines said in the game?

[dark hazel]

pinned messages

[scenic isle]

cuckold, scratch, i dont know the rest

[spare drift]

I think I heard the n word at some point

[dark hazel]

check there

[steep herald]

idk ask chatgpt

[soft osprey]

Sure; unfortunately I don’t trust you guys to set up a fair duel without cheating and a bunch of ridiculousness to go with it

[soft belfry]

Maybe LAN multiplayer could be something though. It would be possible to host tournaments that way and lag is pretty much gone on LAN

[dark hazel]

egad, he says egad

[scenic isle]

i meant irl

[soft osprey]

Me too

[steep herald]

our plan was to give the ragebaiter a knife and those guys shotguns

[spare drift]

Idk man I think the VAs were just having too much fun with the insults

[terse cypress]

Sounds fair to me

[calm ivy]

Found it! Couldn't find em in the pins earlier somehow lol Thnx everyone!

[dark hazel]

ye np

[scenic isle]

btw am i tripping or is "cuckold" rlly an insult in the game? i stg i heard it before

[dark hazel]

ye

[steep herald]

yes

[calm ivy]

It is

[steep herald]

idk why but yes

[terse cypress]

It’s the best insult ever tf you mean you don’t know why

[scenic isle]

stabbed a guy in the dick and then called him a cuck

[steep herald]

a mirror exists

[dark hazel]

chad move

[lapis marsh]

hedgeborn is my new favourite insult

[steep herald]

WTF IS THAT USERNAME I JUST SAW IN THE TYPING BAR

[scenic isle]

what username

[terse cypress]

yeah what’re you talking about

[scenic isle]

bro sniffed too much willie blood

[dark hazel]

what

[steep herald]

there was a user whos name ended in tussybussy

[terse cypress]

Doesn’t take much that shit is potent

[steep herald]

i made it that way]

[dark hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/day-nice-gif-12467950029864401189

[steep herald]

but why you drinking the blood of the willies? that's meant to be put on an altar and sacrificed to me

[dark hazel]

their blood is wine

[terse cypress]

Because i get thirsty af and it tastes so good

[terse cypress]

Basically this

[lapis marsh]

vampire gaming

[scenic isle]

fr tho, half of the times i win a duel i just keep stabbing the why until somehow his body becomes slashproof or he becomes a nugget

[terse cypress]

No you

[calm ivy]

One of the voicelines I've heard after victory sounded like "Speaken ye of poems".. but then it sounds like "speaken WE of poem".. =S lol

[terse cypress]

I think it says terms

idk though

[steep herald]

well that war ended fast

[dark hazel]

dunno raggamuffin is a close second

[steep herald]

i think dolt takes the cake

[terse cypress]

Cuckold #1 insult

[dark hazel]

cuck hole

[terse cypress]

Still used in the modern era albeit shortened

[terse cypress]

I prefer unused things

[dark hazel]

that's fucked up

[calm ivy]

Oh, TERMS???! .."speak in TERMS of poems"... that makes A LOTTA SENSE lol 🤯

[steep herald]

[terse cypress]

That’s just me with any blunt impact weapon honestly

YOU FOOL!

[minor garden]

[terse cypress]

YOU THOUGHT I WOULD COMPLAIN!

ALAS, I WILL PLAY ALONG

[steep herald]

[soft osprey]

Bruh I said reaction spam

Not emoji

[steep herald]

ok we'll only type one weird reaction for each message

[minor garden]

how you think the idea of brain damage cause your key bind to be randomized

[minor garden]

this

[soft osprey]

You’re the one who complained about sexual talk but then you’re also spamming clearly sexual innuendo reactions. Kinda hypocritical no?

[minor garden]

me?

[soft osprey]

No

[minor garden]

oh oki

[steep herald]

i was joking not complaining

[soft osprey]

You literally dm me about it

💀

Yes Ty

[karmic echo]

[terse cypress]

I’m kidding moai

[minor garden]

[soft osprey]

@terse cypress As I already stop stop spamming reactions please

[steep herald]

How would I reach out to the team if I wanted to help with the project?

[soft osprey]

You can create a ticket in #modmail or try to reach out to Mcwonderbeast directly, he is the community manager

[split vigil]

Do you guys hold lmb for the entirety of the swing? Is there any benefit of releasing it mid-swing?

[wind knoll]

damn I got ticket #69

[scenic isle]

i dont think theres any benefit

[elfin chasm]

hi sigma

[scenic isle]

btw is there anyone who actualy enjoys using those lil mini axes things

[karmic echo]

lil mini axe things?

[tender quest]

gave it a try

[karmic echo]

like the nordic hatchet or something else?

[scenic isle]

like those weird clubs with little axe blade

[karmic echo]

pic?

[scenic isle]

1 sec

[karmic echo]

smooth swings

[split vigil]

i mean visually there seems to be some "whiplash action" and swings look stronger but the control is much worse than simply holding down

[tender quest]

once you let go of lmb the lock on stops aswell resulting in jerking movements

[scenic isle]

this piece of shit @karmic echo

is there anyone who actualy likes using it

[tawdry scroll]

jamon

[split vigil]

yep that too

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-reaction-me-too-yes-acknowledge-me-gif-27117775

[scenic isle]

i dont understand how, its mid at cutting, mid at being like a mace and bad at stabbing

[lapis marsh]

poleaxe is superior

[karmic echo]

its axe with a point on the end usefull and hits heavy better then a few wepons billhook for 1

[little verge]

I mean maybe you have not used it enough to not be mid? It is not the best weapon at all and I certainly do not favor it. I have had allot of fun with it though.

[lapis marsh]

slander

billhook is goated

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/conbrosations-eddie-hot-takes-salt-bae-gif-26059723

[novel oriole]

i love half sword

its my fav

[karmic echo]

truth

[lapis marsh]

ive beaten top tier armors with billhook

[novel oriole]

i love the game and not hitting lvl3 so i can talk in cord

[soft osprey]

Good man

[junior epoch]

I mean it works but it’s heavy

Any weapon is good as long as you learn how to use it

[dark hazel]

hey man how do you control the greatsword with that precision?

when i swing it it's very slow

[jolly gorge]

way ahead of ya

https://tenor.com/view/vine-ascend-flying-epic-vsauce-gif-21863167

[dark hazel]

houston we have a problem.

[junior epoch]

Are you locked on?

[dark hazel]

always

[tender quest]

at 21 seconds you see i do that swipe to the left then lift my arms up which makes the wrists twist like that i do it again at 24 seconds, it adds extra elastic force to the swing

[jolly gorge]

whatever comes up must come back down

as they say

they being the lizard people

[dark hazel]

thanks!

[copper eagle]

game needs multiplayer no kizz

it would be so amazing

:DDD

[jolly gorge]

what tech is this chat

[copper eagle]

rmb +lmb tech

u can swing it crazy when u spam it

[jolly gorge]

is this stance competitively viable

or is it so op its tournament banned

absolute cinema

slammed bro into another game

think ive mastered this game i think its joever

[copper eagle]

see we could discuss this if the game had multiplayer

[jolly gorge]

true

its gonna be added eventuahlley right

games just too early for now

[copper eagle]

it better ‼️

[naive holly]

After the game is complete they'll consider working in it, is what they've said

They'd like to though, but it's not currently in the to-do list

[jolly gorge]

woohoo cant wait for a spear and whatever the hell that stick with spikes on it is called meta

gonna be a "great" meta

[naive holly]

Plançon

2h axe too is busted

[jolly gorge]

problems gonna be balancing since there no reason to use anythign that is less then 10 feet long

[copper eagle]

you will probably be able to ban/choose weapons

[jolly gorge]

still theres enough spear like weapons for the meta to be just spears

[wary pewter]

They did say if they don’t have multiplayer added by release they’ll personally mail every player a set of armor and weapons to fight one another in real life. It’s great to see a game dev company that actually cares about its players for once! Loving the commitment to the community. They’re even going to be hand-sharpened!

[jolly gorge]

i already do that

im a prodigy in the international medieval combat federation

medieval mma is goated

[jolly gorge]

whats the channel for bug reports

or is there none

sometimes when willies fall over even if they have ZERO injuries they never get up again

whimsical

[terse cypress]

I know you already asked and got an answer from someone far more competent than I but I’ve personally found some of the greatswords feel lighter than other greatswords

[dark hazel]

dunno other swords are really light

[copper eagle]

you can beat long weapons with short just need to be gud

[dark hazel]

like the t3 long sword

[terse cypress]

yeah

I meant compared to other greatswords

probably should have been more clear on that, my apologies

[jolly gorge]

???? you can beat a full armored knight as someone with no gear and no weapons you just need to be gud

do you know what a "meta" is

[terse cypress]

Could you imagine lmao

some dude just fucken one punch ko’s a knight without getting scratched

[jolly gorge]

too bad 9/10 that crashes the game

have you ever tried punching with the gauntlets

9/10 its a crash

[terse cypress]

I have yeah

I meant without anything like you said

[jolly gorge]

worst part is its my favorite "weapon" in the game

its literally the punch but better

[terse cypress]

No gear no weapons just bare hands

it is quite effective yeah

[jolly gorge]

i mean the game can still crash if you punch something like a helmet with bare hands

its happened to me

[terse cypress]

Wait actually lmao

I’m yet to see that personally

[jolly gorge]

also devs PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE

dont remove the feature (not bug) where you can fling ppl

[terse cypress]

Rocket man intensifies

[terse cypress]

also that dudes prolly trying to bait you try to ignore him lmao

[copper eagle]

mind ya business

[terse cypress]

<@&1080390104562016306>

[copper eagle]

im not arguing with that

[worn heron]

What's the issue?

[terse cypress]

baiting

again

same dude from earlier today

[covert quiver]

i decapitated someone so badly it crashed my game

[terse cypress]

You decapitated your computer didn’t you

[worn heron]

I'm going to be honest, I'm looking through his message history, and I can't really confidently define this as "baiting"— everybody has their own subjective opinions and experiences.
They've been sharing photos and replying to others, as well as engaging in conversations about the game and its potential for the future— I can't say they're baiting because they are sharing their own experiences.

I'll keep an eye out, but that's my two cents

[terse cypress]

Okay fair enough

[covert quiver]

😭

[dark hazel]

oh it's roboto again

[terse cypress]

Correct

Sadly

[dark hazel]

sadly

[worn heron]

Just know all reports are taken seriously! I appreciate the report— thank you for helping to keep our community friendly

[terse cypress]

No, thank youu

[worn heron]

man that sounded really PR huh

[terse cypress]

lmao

[worn heron]

Are you playing in dx12 perchance?

[dark hazel]

laugh at this dx12 user

[worn heron]

I can play in dx12, I just can't record or stream in it

Sadge

[little verge]

dx12 is superior knave.

[terse cypress]

i use dx2929838292982833 fear me

[worn heron]

I read this in Willie voice

[dark hazel]

you knaue, dx12 has many more bugs and gives lower fps

[little verge]

Not on my PC.

[worn heron]

I have made a due mistake

[worn heron]

This whole thing

I read the entire history of the wrong user.

[dark hazel]

most people reccomend dx11 you oaf!

[worn heron]

[dark hazel]

[worn heron]

Yeah I deserve that

[little verge]

lol who's gonna tell em?

[worn heron]

[dark hazel]

[terse cypress]

so uh
same thoughts, or…?

[worn heron]

bunger

[terse cypress]

tahw

[worn heron]

no idea I'm reading up on it rn lol I saw that our community manager took action regarding your report, so I was like "perhaps I should reassess this"

[dark hazel]

i mean he got timed out already

we should wait, if he does that shit again

[terse cypress]

if he’s continuing to bait though he’s prolly not gonna stop

[little verge]

tis has been dealt with we can move on. 😉

[dark hazel]

we'll see

[terse cypress]

i guess we will yeah

[tulip coral]

what even happened

[dark hazel]

[terse cypress]

half sword should be an RPG in which you kill everyone and there is no story elements whatsoever you just spawn in an arena after choosing how gorey you want it and selecting one of eight classes from idiot peasant to chad knight

[tulip coral]

[terse cypress]

No

[lapis marsh]

this is already what it is lmao

[terse cypress]

Exactly

[worn heron]

But yeah blueberry I’m chatting on this server way too much to be a mod

[dark hazel]

[worn heron]

unfortunately yes, I cannot pledge my life to

[worn heron]

How can I not?

[dark hazel]

sacrafice this man

[worn heron]

when I am ready

[terse cypress]

SACRIFICE! SACRIFICE! SACK OF RICE! SACRIFICE!

i love cutting willies belly open like a purse and then my willie says “what gain is there in bloodshed” as the enemy willie bleeds out

[tulip coral]

pinata

[terse cypress]

Why do direct hits to any shield that isn’t the buckler sound the same as cutting into willie

[neat jasper]

I haven't noticed that

[terse cypress]

The (I’m guessing blackened steel?) plate armour looks so feckin cool imo

[lapis marsh]

yes

[terse cypress]

Even if it has this helmet shape

[lapis marsh]

it always has that helmet shape

[terse cypress]

I know

[lapis marsh]

also i think that looks cool

[terse cypress]

i think that helmet looks kinda silly but that’s just me lol

Stop lmao

[neat jasper]

goofy

[lapis marsh]

what now

[manic cradle]

where does the game saves screenshots

[terse cypress]

Somewhere I’d imagine

[lapis marsh]

when you take screenshots theres a little pop up in the bottom right corner it'll take you there

[manic cradle]

nothing appears for me

[terse cypress]

Just take a steam screenshot if you cba

that’s what i do

[manic cradle]

broo i want to retrieve my sceenshots!!!

[tulip coral]

its in a folder inside the game files

you'll find it

its like 2 folders deep

[fluid moat]

So where should I post footage of bugs? I just found out why blunt secondary weapons feel weird to me, it's because the hitbox doesn't work half the time.

[inner tide]

I just spent a minute and a half trying to shove a sword up a man's ass.

[fluid moat]

As one does.

[inner tide]

Truly, the pinnicale of technology.

[inner tide]

I'd assume in feedback?

No

Nevermind

Goes in #1262488181035630634

Or feedback

Either one actually

[lapis marsh]

the duality of man

[inner tide]

No, this should be all man.

I believe that the true reason behind humans being put on Earth, was to create Halfsword and decimate Willy in the most brutal ways one could possibly think of.

[dull iron]

hi

[distant kernel]

what do i have to do to be able to talk in vc

[lapis marsh]

talk more to level up

[mortal sonnet]

Right click on “Half Sword Playtest” in your steam library, go to “Manage”, then “Browse local files”. Then navigate to this:

Half Sword Playtest > VersionTest54 > Screenshots

[ivory ferry]

imma go stream half sword who wants to watch

[sharp light]

how do i accurately stab? every time i try to thrust it either misses or doesnt go with enough force to actually stab

[dull iron]

i have the same problem

[opaque creek]

Keep the weapon reeled back before double clicking

at the right distance

[dull iron]

i use alt

[naive holly]

Does anyone know how to get the gore and blood sliders to stay between sessions? I usually play with like 25% blood, but the presets are 0 or 50 and I have to move it every time

[sleek gull]

Yummy Clips!

[lost bison]

Y us it when I load up this game I just can't move

It's not everytime but it's often enough that it's really annoying

[junior epoch]

[lean niche]

Stabbing Advice 🔪

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

if the demo is anything to go off of im sure they might atleast have bosses

[tulip coral]

I think its just an endless wave of willies

[snow gulch]

nah they have boss fights in it

[tulip coral]

the demo?

[snow gulch]

and theres an end

ye

[tulip coral]

I never finished it

[snow gulch]

if only we got void demo with the playtest combat 😔

[tulip coral]

the true void were the friends we made along the way

[quartz geyser]

If only we got demo progression with playtest map.

[snow gulch]

or i remember in the sneak peeks of the combat for playtest a while back they had a map with a hole in the middle, id love to have that too

[quartz geyser]

I don't quite mind demo, I get to give willie shaken baby sydrome and stop his heart.

[snow gulch]

yeah its still great and i prefer some things like how AI doesn't immediately give up when hurt, makes for some really fun moments

also redirecting attacks was fun

[quartz geyser]

Not even, I just ran at a willie with a shield until he gives up.

It kills their stamina and they can't do anything.

[snow gulch]

speaking of shields i have an example of redirecting with one 😎

[tulip coral]

hes fine

[snow gulch]

some ibuprofen and he'll be up and at em

[tulip coral]

nahh an ice pack will do

[snow gulch]

true

i also loved the way the blood was in demo tbh, probably istn as realistic as playtest but the blood rain was so satisfying

[tulip coral]

reminds me of wolfenstein blood

[azure tangle]

where are images from the game stored in files?

[tulip coral]

its in the main file in the versiontest file I think

[snow gulch]

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half Sword Demo\HalfSwordUE5\Screenshots

thats what i got from pinned atleast

in #photography📷

[timid imp]

i am in almost every single conversation that has happened over the last 4ish months

also i talk in vc chat rather than using voice cause i despise it

so that contributes a lot

[steep herald]

that's a lot of conversations

[timid imp]

yes it does add up

[lethal crag]

i dabble in yapenese

[thorny stream]

[brazen cloak]

[naive holly]

Tyty. Imma peep yours rn

You have got the upward swing DOWN. That second clip is my fav of the 4

[timid imp]

first one was a bit of a mess but i like the stab at end : )

[timid imp]

that little sidestep swing is one of my main moves

i think my favorite is the 4th

i also have these but they are with axes so idk if they count

[torpid mortar]

took my leg so i used up all i had left to break his jaw 😔

Hey, I just got here. I can't find a way to chat in other areas of the server such as the support section. Could anybody help me out?

[keen galleon]

[terse cypress]

is anyone gonna tell him?

[naive holly]

Multiplayer is not currently on the developers radar so no 1v1s with anyone here

For a long long while

[naive holly]

Not sure what you mean. There's #1262488181035630634 which is the support section. Do you not have access to that? Shouldn't be restricted afaik

[terse cypress]

what

#faq

Read

[naive holly]

Soooo, no

[keen galleon]

It's fine I just came here to find out how to do play testing and I figured that out

[naive holly]

Tier 6 personally. Best amount of armor so that it's not a slog but still a challenge

[terse cypress]

Laughs in greatsword

[naive holly]

Yeah yeah big sword go bonk

[terse cypress]

I agree

Just giving fair warning

Oh my bad

I misread

That’s on me lmao

I thought you said is this better not this is

My bad dude lmao

[naive holly]

They're not even similar games other than the theme

No plans for cats so far.

Aa someone with like 800 hours in Chiv2.

Same

[terse cypress]

My favourite topic, HEMAC
historical Europoean martial arts for cats

Nah but fr though my bad lmao i genuinely misread what you said

anyways I’m close to hitting 100 hours on the game lmao

[naive holly]

I boot off the .exe and not steam itself so I have no idea where in at. But probably close to that

I like t5 for that reason. Just a tiny bit of armor.

[neat jasper]

You have to level up in the server

[naive holly]

Damn

One two three ezpz

[neat jasper]

You can't wield that sword, your hands stink. Wash them first

[turbid osprey]

Anyone else having problems with the play test for some reason keeps on crashing on me

[naive holly]

Depends, mine crashes cuz I push the overclocking and have a garbo pc

[turbid osprey]

It just goes to a black screen, and then my AMD thing says that my driver canceled out or something

[somber geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-halfsword-gif-12256655659672538621 wee

[naive holly]

If you're having a persistent problem I would just do a clean install

Make sure your drivers up updated etc, but you probs know that

[turbid osprey]

Like reinstalling it?

And how do I do that?

[naive holly]

So what you'll want to do.

Right click on half sword,

Browse local game files

delete everything

Right click on half sword again

verify integrity of game files.

This ensures everything installed is new, and steam doesn't try to just reuse the same files.

[turbid osprey]

I just remembered it keeps on saying Virgin test 54 keeps on crashing

Version

Version!

[naive holly]

Lol

Test54 is just what the game is called underneath the hood so that's normal

[turbid osprey]

All right, let me just delete these files real quick

[naive holly]

To update your drivers go to the windows search bar and type device manager. Find your amd processor, right click it, check for updates

What's your PC specs?

[turbid osprey]

How do I verify the files?

And I can’t put images in here

You probably saw it, but yeah, those are my specs

[naive holly]

You need to talk for a while to level up your server rank to get image perms

To verify files, right click on half sword, go to properties, and there should be a button clear as day

Somewhere in the properties window

[turbid osprey]

26 files failed to validate and will be required 💀

Well, gotta wait for my game to re-download now

I guess I’ll check my driver while I’m at it

The best drivers are already installed so it’s something else

[naive holly]

Well that's cuz you deleted everything that was the point

[naive holly]

Shouldn't take too long it's like 3gb haha

[naive holly]

Let's hope the reinstall helps

[slim bough]

uhhh does anyone have the private beta password i didnt think they would delete and i was going to bed smhh

[turbid osprey]

working now

Waaaaahoooo

[naive holly]

[keen mica]

Yo guys im new here i just had a question will there be an online mode when the game comes out?

honestly im terrified rn

[eager blade]

I think that's just the de facto like "you beat everything in the demo" point

I may have broke my own leg but at least I have something to sit on and watch the fight

[slim sequoia]

damn lots of anatomy here.

[slim sequoia]

me love ax

[eager blade]

tfw ur playing with ur sibling and then they get hurt

[slim sequoia]

[sharp rampart]

ONE PUUUUUUUUNCH

[slim sequoia]

bro got delimbed after walking in my arena

broski's neck meat got removed

[eager blade]

I tried to be cool and throw him out of the ring but almost reversal'd myself

[slim sequoia]

poor guy got 1 tapped without me using my axe

his nose and some of his eye got removed

wtf this thing was moving and we dont have a hand removed.

bro was thinking "oh damn he got me."

poor guy didnt realise what was coming for his jaw

(damn i exited photo mode and his neck cracked

moment before disaster

(nvm it wasnt too bad)

huh? didnt his hand get sliced off or is this guy a wizard that can regrow his hand

slight headache

bros nose got shortened

how tf are the teeth so realistic

[dense yoke]

Willie is joe rogan

[fringe raven]

wait i can die in fist fight

if i get hit in the neck

[restive garnet]

They are meant to be punched out. Eventually in Early Access

[restive garnet]

The internal organs are detailed too, and animate inside. Beating heart and breathing lungs.

Butt the wip new gore tech erases the organs like the skin. Forgot to set that to ignore.

Just a fun fact

In early access there will be major arteries and organ physics, breakable bones ect.

[fringe raven]

do you guys know some other ways you can die in fist fight ?

[jolly mulch]

since when could u pvp like this

[wind charm]

gaming

[jolly mulch]

nice

[slim sequoia]

ooooooooooooooooooooo yummy gore leaks

[jolly mulch]

forgot how do u dual wield something ?

[wind charm]

right click :3

[jolly mulch]

nope

it just equips it into another hand

[wind charm]

wdym

like what

[jolly mulch]

like if i press right it goes to right hand if i press left it goes to left hand

[wind charm]

x

[jolly mulch]

nvm diffrent keybinds

i got it

[fringe raven]

i have a question is there a way to know if your oponent is dead or just unconscious ?

[jolly mulch]

i mean

i think u know when hes dead and when not

[fringe raven]

In fist fight

sometimes you can kill him

[dreamy phoenix]

just played the itch.io version of Half-Sword for a bit

man, this game has already come a long way lmao

this is how I've first experienced the game but the difference between the playtest and Gauntlet is staggering

I do like that the Gauntlet (itch) version doesn't mind emitting sparkle particles more often when the weapons collide or when you strike somebody on the armor

also the WAAAHHHHH scream is just funny, khkh

[dreamy phoenix]

they usually wake up after a while

and they start making sounds, either saying they're giving up or just grunting

if they don't, you've probably broken their neck, that's the only lethal blunt hit that I know about

big hit on the head usually results in a knockout, but you break their neck if you go lower

[fringe raven]

thx

[dreamy phoenix]

!!1

[fringe raven]

and do you any consistent way of a neck break

like in a grapple or something

[dreamy phoenix]

I have no idea how to do it in during a fist fight, sorry

with blunt weapons it works when you hit in the general direction of a neck, lol

[fringe raven]

ok

[torpid mortar]

he disarmed me

[torpid mortar]

got a tiny bit angry
