that's how gauntlet mode works
it's a one life mode, if you die, you start over from the beginning
if you get past beggar and you die, you're sent to the abyss, and if you kill the boss in their you get your progress back
if you die in the abyss, you start over from the beginning

technically this server allows files up to 50mb in size but keeping things smaller is always more fun
also if you wanna share stuff from this server on other servers that have lower file upload settings, just copy the link to the video itself and paste it in those other servers and it'll show up as a playable video same as if you'd uploaded the file

if you're on other servers, and those servers aren't as fancy as this one so that their file upload size limits are restricted to 10mb of some crap like that, you can bypass the restriction by just linking the video itself

this isn't about how good the game is without gore it's just an undeniable fact ...
Its mainly due to the fact that the way gore works right now is by duping the cut off body part, it just renders the part you cut off invisible but it is still there. Which on the ultimate challenge absolutely devestates the engine.

in the ultimate challenge
they'll drop their shoes or a shield
so i'll be fighting 4 armored guys and ill have a kettle helmet
minor veldt
Fighting a tier eight axe guy is such a nightmare lowkey
modest whale
and win that fight and lose to the baron because he stabbed my foot

The moment I get close enough to deal real damage his axe just slices through my armour and kills me

do you try for overheads or no?
This is basically worst case scenario as far as blunt weapons goes. short ass mace. I never use shields so it plays very wonky and risky.

I am very excited for early access.

The demo is only 5% of the game

I hope they update the demo more, but I understand if they don't.

The demo is only 5% of the game
and its already so fun i play it like every day

I hope they update the demo more, but I understand if they don't.
I’m sure they will as they go along but they only have one person on the demo and the rest on early access
rancid sluice
the impression i got was that this is the last iteration before the early access
which is fair since early access is coming out this year
soft osprey
the impression i got was that this is the last iteration before the early access
It is most likely, but nothings set in stone. They might release a patch before, who knows
mint wadi
business wise, I would bet the demo doesn't get updated. I think it's crucial to keep the other 95% of the game a small bit of a mystery. What they do with the wip channel is pretty great. There's so much hype surrounding this game.
soft osprey
In reality we don’t know all that much more

Seriously I don't know if they're ready to see what kind of numbers this game will do lol

well, over the week.
Assuming 20% turn into purchases.
Either way it's set to break some niche indie game records.

Haha we will see, I’m sure itll be well received though. They have a lot behind the scenes they haven’t shows us

going for the one hit KO is more fun, bonus points if they're up against the fence (it was the shield and not the mace but still you get what i mean)
modest whale
the one i am holding is longer
quasi rain
thats not short tho?
modest whale
it is for me
its too short
they will just break my arms and ill have to drop it anyways
mint wadi
It's just Moai working on the game for the past 30 years.
You should have seen what Half Sword looked like in the late 90s.
quasi rain
its at perfect lengh tho, you just gotta make good use out of the spear on top
soft osprey
How many devs are working on the demo, and how many on the early access
I don’t own it.
But there’s only one dev on the demo currently as far as we know.

Who here thinks it is possible to beat ultimate challenge unarmed? As in: no weapons. Only kicking, punching, heatbutting, grappling, etc. Gauntlets picked up in the arena don't count.
modest whale

i shouldn't have tried it
i picked it up and they instantly broke my arm
now i have to use the billhook with a broken arm
