[supple flint]

What site is it

[true zealot]

just search reshade

[pearl ferry]

basic spear has a pretty nasty black hole right at the tip. yeah it's not the same range but if you get one good stab they fold instantly. pitchfork has a little LESS range than billhook but still, one overhead swing will 100% fold any armored willie

[thorn sundial]

Yeah but whenever I try that I get outranged. Are there any movement technique I'm missing here?

[maiden cipher]

Bro wtf

okay so I click the abyss button on the bottom

At beggar stage

My neck gets snapped and then I run through and kill the boss

I get the icon for the farmer

How do I cash that out

[true zealot]

anything done in abyss doesnt save to gauntlet

gotta do it in the arena.

[maiden cipher]

Oh, the Abyss is just an extra mode

[true zealot]

abyss is an extra and also a way to save yourself

if you die in gauntlet, you redeem yourself in the arena and your progress isnt reset.

[maiden cipher]

With a different progression and game loop

[pearl ferry]

well, it just depends really. are you the first to swign, are there multiple people swinging at you, etc. my best advice is to just stick to it; baron challenge will take you more than a few tries, but once you get a lucky drop like the planchon or billhook it gets far easier

[maiden cipher]

Like on a run-to-run basis kind of like the ultimate challenge is right

[pearl ferry]

Yes abyss is the roguelike mode

[cunning aspen]

So how can i get a higher level to send screenshots?

[true zealot]

talking

[pearl ferry]

Post

[glass quiver]

Talk.

[molten galleon]

#stat-rank-check for using /rank to check your progress

[thorn sundial]

I've been going at it for three days but I keep running into two or three polearm dudes and dying.

[pearl ferry]

if it makes you feel better, it took me about a week of on and off playing to beat it

[ornate estuary]

been getting more success with this

[pearl ferry]

absolutely devious

[ornate estuary]

thanks very much

[light storm]

holy shit this the first time i saw an npc equip a helm in spoilance

prob meant to grab smth else but he ended up getting this

[unkempt linden]

how d'you dodge

[soft osprey]

Shift + tap movement keys

[light storm]

with the body density setting on the lowest you can go so fucking fast

but too bad it aint there no more

[pearl ferry]

you can still go fast if you have a polearm

raise it above your head while you dodge back

polearm momentum will carry u back way more than normal

[light storm]

yeah ik that

[cunning aspen]

Damn commoner boss is so annoying

[sinful violet]

how do you pick things up

[light storm]

e or q

q for left hand e for right hand

[sinful violet]

do i have to hold it?

[light storm]

no

your hand(s) will go to the handle on the weapon

like theyre gonna float to it

but if youre damaged your arms aint picking up shit

just hold them out with mouse 1 or 2

[pearl ferry]

btw you pick things up easier if you grab it by the head instead of by the handle

or rather grab objects by the largest part of the model

[light storm]

yeqa

yea

[cursive shale]

works with the knife too lol

[light storm]

nah really

oh shit yeah

[odd kiln]

wtf are you doing

[light storm]

scroll up a bit

kicked in the back of the fucking neck

[vapid hull]

The spear is oh so fun

I need to get good with it again thoughghhh

[summer pollen]

i dropped my own sword into my head lol

[vapid hull]

How did this happen

[summer pollen]

lag, mostly

[vapid hull]

Mmmm, unoptimizationnn

Thats okay though, they’ll fix it when its readyy

In the mean time

[graceful sluice]

Will Half Sword ever bring back the feature where intestines come out?

[vapid hull]

Probably

[tough yew]

yes

[river steppe]

calculated

[wooden socket]

anyone else noticed that getting up at high armor tiers is really hard now_

[split wharf]

Alt f4 for the really quick dodge however it uses a lot of stamia.

[ornate estuary]

dope disarm

[unkempt linden]

Haha

[cursive shale]

guess who's finally getting his powers

are you sure

https://tenor.com/view/immortal-where-is-omni-man-where-is-he-invincible-gif-17913376818474440095

[fresh walrus]

Is there a objective best weapon or is it just personal preference?

I'm not crazy then lmao I was convinced they were better

[cursive shale]

theres alot of undiscovered stuff

[idle crane]

11 messages up from this one

[cursive shale]

hes looking for omni man

kisma

[fresh walrus]

So far Axe and longsword for me

[idle crane]

2 handed mace

[cursive shale]

the butcher knife is peak

[violet coral]

I don't notice as my character refuses to get up or just stand up, I'm pretty sure that Willie has narcolepsy, the slightest arm tap and I go tumbling

The light hatchet in farmer rank, every hit dismembers or disembowels

The lil axe in the peasant rank

I mean yeah, I've used practically every weapon

[cursive shale]

[fresh walrus]

I'm afraid to try new weapons cause i only run the gauntlet mode or whatever its called and the last time I tried sword and dagger combo I got fucked up cause I lost my range in exchange for the two weapons instead of one I usually have

[violet coral]

I still hate the little ball head 2 handed mace, that shit is so ass

[cursive shale]

its time to use butcher knife bro

[violet coral]

Kisma ass

Ehehehehehehe

[cursive shale]

[violet coral]

Gotcha

Lol

Anyways imma go commit heinous crimes against Willie kind

[twilit escarp]

oof, ouch. this guy got the wolfenstein treatment.

[fresh walrus]

Do we know how much the game will be on release?

[flat stag]

chat how do u kill the greatsword boss? his sword kisses u and u get split in half

[golden shell]

Knock it over and then stomp and punch 2 death

[flat stag]

his sword one taps u

[opaque creek]

Pitchfork every boss that doesn’t have leg armor on the leg

Like for the next 3 tiers they have no leg armor

[fresh walrus]

I try to stay to his left side then I run in and get a tap right after he swings

Thats been working for me

[drowsy geode]

are there any news about a new update?

okay?

so?

I don't want to play your game broski

I like halfsword

[opaque creek]

And it sounds really boring

[drowsy geode]

and I don't like getting advertised everywhere on the internet

[opaque creek]

Dumb game idea

[drowsy geode]

no one does

it might not be a bad game but this is not the way to advertise

you're just making people dislike you and your game by doing this

[coarse remnant]

is it halfsword 1.5

??

😭

this MIGHT be halfsword

[opaque creek]

Half sword is where it’s at

It has swords, blood, physics

[bright beacon]

@silk current lookin ass

you fell off

not their fault

[rugged lichen]

Guys, he's obviously joking

[fresh walrus]

[bright beacon]

[rugged lichen]

[fresh walrus]

[bright beacon]

[opaque creek]

[fresh walrus]

"ill just rush this guy he's only got a knife I got range on him" Me three seconds before losing my right arm

[bright beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

why wont this fucker die

[opaque creek]

I have low damage on sliders and they work

[bright beacon]

yeah me too

[opaque creek]

I think Devs turn damage sliders down too

[bright beacon]

setting damage sliders to low is fun for beggar carnage

[drowsy geode]

I am gay thank you very much

[soft osprey]

Download?

Like virtual ram?

[next sage]

idk its probably something else then

[solemn holly]

[sharp glade]

where can i install mods to the half sword?

[solemn holly]

if it happens during the ultimate challenge, disabling blood and gore helps

[sharp glade]

or i can't

[civic helm]

you cant

I think

[solemn holly]

nexus mods

[sharp glade]

okay

[next sage]

thats exactly what happens to me

[sharp glade]

thanks

[next sage]

but without gore its half as fun

lowkey

[solemn holly]

you can turn it back on again afterwards

[bronze dust]

Awesome, thanks a ton

[solemn holly]

[civic helm]

[bronze dust]

No way

You’re lying to me

[novel dirge]

[naive iron]

Is it just me or is it super easy to fall over in the abyss?

[rough coral]

i cant get past the unreal screen

[rich ibex]

I am currently stuck in photomode

[golden shell]

Lowkey love when lock on locks on to the guy fighting the other guy 10 feet away while someone tries to cut through your skull

[rocky wave]

add an option to keep bodies when they die in abyss instead of desintegrating

[golden shell]

Just restart the game

[rich ibex]

got some good screenshots from it tho

[supple bear]

alt f4

[novel dirge]

u have space on ur pc?

[golden shell]

With the photo mode?

Cuz those just save

[novel dirge]

sometimes games crash if you dont have any free space on a computer

[rich ibex]

screenshotted

and photo gallery

i sent the screenshots in photo channel

[amber pollen]

This knot on the doublet I don't think exists for a multitude of reasons. like how two strings could turn to a singular knot, indicated by the single loop knot and any examples working to find this knot has gone futile, as none seem to fit this visual description, a simple bow knot or just making both of the knots into slip knots would have been a preferred decision for the sake of a knot, unless if the other part of the string is inside the doublet. then, first of all, why? second of all, you'd want that second string to tie something onto you, more string is more options

I could have put it in feedback but here's generally more active

I should just put it there too actually, just in case

[olive basalt]

wtf im seeing today

[novel dirge]

gng i split his head in to like huh

how does that happen

[olive basalt]

discord does not let me send game footage on #game-footage-🎮🎥

[soft osprey]

Make sure you’re running the game in dx11.
Right click halfsword in your steam library, press properties. Under General there’s a line for Launch Options. In there type in: -dx11

[olive basalt]

oh hi u look like dev or someone who know stuff

do you think that guy that got leg cut by me

should still move

and his leg should still move?

[rough coral]

did that already

and still its not working

[soft osprey]

Try a full clean reinstall.

[lean niche]

Gore Selection BUG

[soft osprey]

Ignore the bug, it’s the same fix

[rough coral]

[sleek gull]

Insert Banana Edit

[hazy moat]

I really like polearms but beyond a certain lenght the character seems to really struggle to hold them

billhook, for instance. It's my favorite ancient weapon but it is rather difficult to get my character to actually hold with both hands lol

[deep cradle]

DAMN nice one man!!

[novel dirge]

you just gotta watch his axe

[deep cradle]

Not for me....

[pearl ferry]

[fallow sentinel]

the 3rd and 7th one is the hardest out of them all

[novel dirge]

[ornate nacelle]

I cant download the game

[novel dirge]

you wanna stay close enough to where he cant swing his axe

[deep cradle]

A, i win VERY fast and very easily (sometimes)

or B

[fallow sentinel]

dont pick up any weapons just run into him and punch and kick drop combos on that boy

[deep cradle]

i struggle a lot and not win

which happens most of the time

[fallow sentinel]

u just gotta overwhelm them

[deep cradle]

actually when i think about it its the only way ive won

ill try that RN

[toxic drift]

we can admit:

peasent axe is overpowered

[sleek gull]

Another one lol

[pearl ferry]

i have another one hold on lemme find it

[fallow sentinel]

i fought everyone bare fist as beggar all the way to ultimate challenge its hard but u gotta take advantage of how bad their awareness is and they'll fall over for u to kick there heads in

[deep cradle]

PITCHFORKS TOO!!

[deep cradle]

DAMNN

nice!!

[toxic drift]

yeah. i hate pitchforks so much

[sleek gull]

Love the sparks!

[deep cradle]

:(

[deep cradle]

this is how it went https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kiDrSNZh9aRfNnoJR?invite=cr-MSxFYk4sMjUwODUzOTE3

[novel dirge]

slash 1

[deep cradle]

willie got his ankles broken

[novel dirge]

remember to kick

[deep cradle]

i was kicking!!

i just didnt have enough stamina at the end

[novel dirge]

slash 2

final slash

[novel dirge]

ill clip and show u how i beat him

[sleek gull]

Thats mine now!

[novel dirge]

headbutt at the end

[mental acorn]

Hi everyone! I'm new!

[novel dirge]

hey nice to meet you

[novel dirge]

this is how i beat him

[deep cradle]

but

u said not to grab a weapon

[novel dirge]

you can beat him without a weapon but the idea is the same

let him swing then stay close to his body

[deep cradle]

that was my technique untill now

[novel dirge]

so close to the point where if he does swing his axe the blade cant hit you

[deep cradle]

but even if i get close he can still hit me

[deep cradle]

yeah but the pole still hits me

[novel dirge]

only with the handle of the axe so you wont die or get knocked down unless its a hit to the head

well anyways

thats how i beat him

[deep cradle]

yea but i DO get knocked down

[novel dirge]

do what i did then

[deep cradle]

ahh

from what i see, you ATTACKED him

that would be very helpful thank you :)

oh btw did u know that candel holders actually have a sharp end?

the other end is sharp

its really good to stab people like that

[novel dirge]

yeah

you can use that end to stab him once

and hes done

[deep cradle]

yeah

[burnt smelt]

@deep cradle Yeah so what I usually do is pretty much juke his swing and get up in his face.

There's always going to be a knife in the center of the squared ring

[deep cradle]

i do that too but he still hits me

[molten galleon]

Call him mean names and make him cry

[deep cradle]

lol

that might actually be the winning strat

[cunning aspen]

Damn I sliced Willie's head vertically and cut half of it off

[fallow sentinel]

would anyone play this?

[jagged stream]

what does faster dodging do? faster weapon movement?

[lime phoenix]

#photography📷 message I didnt mean to kick the poor guys leg inwards :(

[fallow sentinel]

probably overall movement fast kicking is the best for surviving without any chance of death

[jagged stream]

take the knife, let him swing and then charge in

[jagged stream]

why is it the best fdor surviving

[honest thorn]

depends on if a human made this image or a robot

if a person put forth the creativity to make it, then im all for it

[fallow sentinel]

sorry for the spam but im getting ai to make it

[modern valve]

Kindly fuck off

[fallow sentinel]

fucked off indeed

[lucid moon]

??? lol

[lucid moon]

hi mega man biggest fan

[honest thorn]

as long as the ai is a tool to help YOU make it. id be more fine. i dont like people using ai to solve their problems, rather than use it to enhance their skills. skills you should be developing.

[fallow sentinel]

no i asked it very vigarous questions to come up with the idea then now imma try and get an engine for it

then prolly gonna move to development but for now just pet project

[honest thorn]

make the story your own then. worldbuild. dont use it to think for you

using it to generate art as concepts is one thing yknow

[fallow sentinel]

im just messing with the ai ive never used it before

[honest thorn]

right. it makes the whole process easy right

[fallow sentinel]

its inspiring new ideas

[sleek gull]

Punished for all of his mistakes lol

[fallow sentinel]

i asked for an innovative game concept that hasnt been done before it gave me an image i now i have the concept in my mind on how mechanics will work survival looter shooter with a cartoonish boarderlands art style

seems fun on paper

[honest thorn]

it didnt really create anything beyond mushing together other examples of "innovative game concepts" and then will present this mush as "never been done before"

that information has to come from SOMEWHERE yknow

[fallow sentinel]

ofc it has

[honest thorn]

just keep that in mind when you use it

[solemn holly]

every game has been done before

[fallow sentinel]

but playing as a sloth man seems funny and generally thinking about how i would animate his movement would he be slow or would he be fast or normal

[modern valve]

What language do you code in?

[fallow sentinel]

python, java

[honest thorn]

i like the idea of drawing from janky movement like from octodad

sloths are lanky

lanky to me means noodly movement

[fallow sentinel]

yea its all just an idea lol i dont develop games as low funds but would be cool to see what i can muster up as a joke

[amber terrace]

Why cant i play the playtest

It says some error game isnt released

?

[fallow sentinel]

the game is dead dude

[amber terrace]

why

[honest thorn]

yeah we just talk about willys now

[fallow sentinel]

im joking the demo is updateds

[amber terrace]

oo

haha

is it more optimized now?

[honest thorn]

the demo off steam is what you need, not the playtest

[fallow sentinel]

pffft

[solemn holly]

no

[amber terrace]

hahah

[honest thorn]

lol no, theyre still building framework for the rest of the game. optimization will come later

[fallow sentinel]

no its got the class we could never play as and a new mode where u rank up to unlock characters for free play

[noble laurel]

the ultimate challenge is ridiculus

one hit and your run is over

even if you lightly damage your arm/leg

yal have any tips? bc i have been trying for hours

[crude escarp]

dont get hit

[mossy fog]

turn off blood so the game doesn't crash

because it does that for some reason

[noble laurel]

aight but fighting wise

its ridiculus early and late run

all i get is a knife and if they run into me its over for my arms

[fallow sentinel]

bro it said i should use UE5 lmao hell nawww ai be wilding

[vapid hull]

Boop

[fallow sentinel]

i think UE4 would be better so all the brokies like myself can make it lol

[sleek gull]

Rali! There are children watching!!

[vapid hull]

I’ll go for more cartoony

[sleek gull]

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-gaguinho-gif-20708508

lil fence slam at the end.

[odd kiln]

think I hit a pretty important part of his brain 🐱

[mossy fog]

he can still fight

its no biggie

[fallow sentinel]

he did some ballerina shit

[mossy fog]

try and get a polearm early on, those are super good for the challenge

[modern valve]

why does my pointed sharp weapon do this when i stab someone in this game?

[rich flax]

Hi guys

I'm new

[sleek gull]

I can never get enough of the sound of a bone breaking in Half Sword lol

[analog gale]

how do I delete my game save?

[frail carbon]

Guys if i die in the Ultimate challenge i lose all of my progress in the game??

[modern valve]

This is what I mean, my knife acts like a feather lol

[gaunt nimbus]

double kill

and double-faced willie again

[shut crescent]

might be a dumb question but is this game planned to have vr support

[river steppe]

maybe 30 years from now

[woven hatch]

where are album photos stored?

[novel dirge]

hey friends

[noble laurel]

not for me atleast

[simple herald]

[steady carbon]

ben shapiro cosplay

[modest whale]

[steady carbon]

i love his sketchers

[simple herald]

i don't get how im supposed to beat the final gold guy

i get to 11 progress

[steady carbon]

simply hit him in the head

[simple herald]

and then i can only fight him as a naked willy

without a weapon

[steady carbon]

what

[modest whale]

willy???

[steady carbon]

kill the first guy you see with your fists then take his weapon

[modest whale]

i thought his name was willie

[steady carbon]

then kill more guys and take their armour and weapons

[simple herald]

not sure not that active in the community

[simple herald]

i mean

when i fight him

[steady carbon]

what do you mean

[simple herald]

in the lower ranks not the baron level

[steady carbon]

that shouldnt be happening

[simple herald]

i cant send screenshots here but

if i take the man at arms for example i get to 11 progress and get stuck there dont fight any bosses

but when i get the begger stage i fight the gold dude

[steady carbon]

this is the weirdest bug ive heard of so fa

[finite river]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kic3TKef9JgLlrhWx?invite=cr-MSwwRzQsNDgwODEyNQ

[steady carbon]

far

go report it in the bug channel

[modest whale]

silent hill fog

[steady carbon]

its probably something fucky with the way the game issues you opponents

[modest whale]

my favorite willie voiceline is when he's like

[simple herald]

[steady carbon]

[grave narwhal]

[modest whale]

[grave narwhal]

[glass quiver]
