[modern cliff]

[fallen dust]

OH HELL YEAH

[meager nebula]

Whats ground fight?

[quick wolf]

GETTING UP IS FASTER LETS GO

[tight isle]

swinging sword on ground

[pastel siren]

It’s only gonna get larger, and seems to only crash in the ultimate challenge if you get that fat

[worthy folio]

YOU CAN FIGHT ON THE GROUND NOW!

[gilded frigate]

Updart...

[tight isle]

"im about to die but im gonna take my time to get up with this hammer coming at my head"

[quick wolf]

Tbh if it comes down to it may need to update my computer

[fallen dust]

The Scurrier will fucking RISE. He will slash at ankles and bite on knees.

[meager nebula]

Interesting

[quick wolf]

This plus getting up faster is sick ngl

[gilded frigate]

Im just waiting for the spooky spikey spire

[quick wolf]

Im gonna spend 2k to get a decent computer for the full release I think i have to

[supple oar]

I get there’s no plans for multiplayer. But how can they simply not understand that this game being multiplayer is EXACTLY what people need right now

[fallen dust]

He looks disappointed. How could you do this do him >:(

[quick wolf]

Bro they literally said they plan on releasing multiplayer in the future after release read the #faq

[fallen dust]

They gotta work on the core first, it's just a matter of prioritizing

[supple oar]

YO REALLY??

[deep shale]

where patchnotes

[supple oar]

Really?? when was this?? Last I heard they were fully staying with no multiplayer

That’s a big w

[tight isle]

multiplayer is more like a if it happens it happens

[torpid mortar]

execution

[fallen dust]

I'm gonna see if they fixed Axe handling real quick, that's been a little janky since the last update

[tight isle]

please i hope

[supple oar]

Meh I get it’s “if it happens it happens” but this is the type of game that would fully go viral. I hope someone makes a mod for it soon

[torpid mortar]

that first swing was a little off

[tight isle]

would be awesome but i feel like desync would be a nightmare to deal with

[torpid mortar]

riposte

[tropic valve]

Is it going to be paid or free to play when it releases

[tight isle]

paid

[fleet stump]

we will keep telling you there is no multiplayer, until we eventually release it

[worthy folio]

paid

[tropic valve]

How much would it be

10. 15?

[tight isle]

$40 prob

[worthy folio]

most people assume over 30 usd

[fleet stump]

definitely not

[tawdry solar]

What does this mean exactly?

[worthy folio]

under 30 or over 30

[fallen dust]

Initial swings are pretty good but your arms start bending weird if you swing it like a caveman. Which, you shouldn't be doing anyways....

But yeah they're way better now.

[tawdry solar]

I don't think i've seen a ground fight in action

[summer pollen]

you can move and swing around in the ground

[tight isle]

i thought someone official said $40 to me once maybe i got #trolled

[tawdry solar]

oh wtf that was a thing?

[tropic valve]

I think 15 would be good with the current player base

[tawdry solar]

Damn that actually sounds sick

[summer pollen]

never was, this is new

[fleet stump]

definitely under 30$ and we are going to survey the discord to get a better idea of how players perceive our game as far as pricing

[naive holly]

Love yall, it absolutely should be at least

[worthy folio]

I WAS RIGHT

[tawdry solar]

damn aight

[tropic valve]

20$ max

[worthy folio]

@stiff belfry

i think 25 is fair

[quick wolf]

You also dont know everything thats in the full game and everything their planning, so hard to give a value for that

[dapper solstice]

Why can't I see any patch notes anywhere?

[worthy folio]

bruh theyre gonna be adding so mcuh content compared to now, i think even 30 will be fine

[fleet stump]

If you can get 100 hours for the price of a good hearty meal + a drink, then the price feels probably right

[tight isle]

id love for it to be cheaper but i think getting like 250+ hours for free already id be willing to pay over 30

[tropic valve]

Well the player base is large

[fleet stump]

where I live thats definitely under 30$

[tawdry solar]

Will the game prices be dynamically set by countries? I live in a third world country kekw

[tropic valve]

I think 20$ should be peak profit

[fleet stump]

yes

[tawdry solar]

Lets gooo thanks

[tough yew]

ah yes one more patchie to ease in the pain

[fleet stump]

We observe : Lethal Company, REPO, Shedule 1

[heady cloak]

i would buy it for $20 but only if it has multiplayer

[fallen dust]

Hellish Quart is like 25 bucks, so I feel like 25 or 30 bucks would seem like a good pricing for Half Sword

[quick wolf]

I think anything under $30 would be fine, schedule 1 for example is $25 and loads of people bought it, and I dont think it has nearly as much content or potential for time played

[tawdry solar]

Ah yeah those games do have decent pricing even for my country's standards

[fleet stump]

we will only have millions of players, if millions of players agree that what they get is fairly priced, so this is why discord surveys matter, there is 112 000 of your in here, please voice your opinion when we will ask for it around pricing

[tropic valve]

The price tag has to be perfect to get max profit

[stiff belfry]

no way lmfao if they price this at anything under $40 their scamming themselves

[summer pollen]

Would there be a limited time demo at launch (or sometime after) so people can experience the game and see if their pc can run it, if it is their cup of tea, etc?

[final shard]

I agree on 25 bucks.

[stiff belfry]

theres supposed to be a whole campaign + sandbox

[fleet stump]

it is better to have 5 million players at 20$ , than 1 million at 40$

[quick wolf]

No ones paying that much though for a 12 person indie game

[heady cloak]

no one is paying 40 buckeroons for this game dude

[tropic valve]

That's what i mean

If it's too expensive not a lot will buy it

Losing sales

[soft rune]

What changed

[daring violet]

I’d be happy to but the game for 20 if it was 25 I’d buy it but I’d do one of these: :(

[worthy folio]

i would be intrested in seeing a poll for it

[stiff belfry]

maybe i just live in a higher tax bracket but that sounds reasonable to me

[naive holly]

True true it just speaks to the quality and charm of what yall have going

[valid rock]

damn its running good

[spiral meteor]

the game’s not worth that much

[worthy folio]

Hello everyone,

Here's a small update addressing some of the frustrations you mentioned in the previous build:

Falling down is now harder
Getting up is faster
Weapon handling has been improved
Performance improvement (might not be perfect though, we're stil working on it)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand:

We brought ground fight back.

[final shard]

Do what nintendo did and make it 90$ 🤑

[heady cloak]

you likely do, most people i know are hesitant to buy a $20 game lol

[soft rune]

Whats ground fight

[hard gull]

I just hope they didn't fix the glitch where you could bring in a full suit of armor to a fist fight

[quick wolf]

why not 10,000?

[hard gull]

because that's a fun glitch

[worthy folio]

you can swing ur weapon while ur on the ground

[tawdry solar]

I'm gonna see so many cheesy Jiu Jitsu moves being pulled on the grappler guild

[soft rune]

Ahhh

[fleet stump]

Keep in mind a community MAKES the success of a game. If people want to pay 40$ cool, then they will be pleasantly surprised to pay 20$, and the ones able to only pay 20$ will probably feels it's right. We count on the first two players to let the one that wants only to pay 10$ to get massive FOMO through Tiktok, Youtube and Twitch hehe

[worthy folio]

praying for the game's success

[tropic valve]

What's fomo

[fleet stump]

Im just here for the memes anyways

[hard gull]

testing to see if this still works rn

[worthy folio]

fear of missing out

[quick wolf]

Better to over deliver on price than to over charge

[tropic valve]

Ah

2am mobile user rn

[worthy folio]

would you say the gore/blood system is pretty much final and that its only minor improvements here on out? or are we looking at a drastic change in the future?

[fleet stump]

over deliver = sales
over charge = fail

[naive holly]

Drastic change has been communicated iirc

[hard gull]

chat it still works, im happy :)

[heady cloak]

i will prob just stick with the demo unless you guys add mp

[fleet stump]

If you get 100+ hours for 20 bucks, I know you will tell your friends, if you don't, you will take a dump on us in the steam reviews

[worthy folio]

gotcha, really hoping for more blunt weapon damage being visible

[tropic valve]

Will the game still be optimized in terms of vram usage

[valid rock]

ive gotten 100+ hours out of the demos for free so far. god tier deal

[tawdry solar]

I do wonder how big the performance improvement is considering I have a 4 core cpu

[fleet stump]

We have potentially the team that optimized TABS to help us this summer, not yet decided

[tawdry solar]

gonna test it out rq

[naive holly]

Very excited to test the update ofc im out of town

[tropic valve]

Ah. Because my friend gets fatal errors from screensharing

[naive holly]

Just small things is all I need to give the demo a 10/10 currently for what it is

[tawdry solar]

That's a conveniently placed hat

[heady cloak]

i hope optimisation goes well, this game is so fun but it's so poorly optimised

[fleet stump]

I hope the ground combat coming back and falling over / getting up being fixed will please yall ! enjoy !

[fallen dust]

I don't know why, but they made running headfirst into the fence do more damage.

I'm at 40% damage rn and it fucking KO'ed me in 2, when it normally takes 3-4 at the normal, 50%

[drowsy geode]

I don't mind the price tag as long as there's sales

[fleet stump]

it's not yet optimized, not gone through QA yet.

[naive holly]

As it should be

[valid rock]

I assume they added some multi threading because my CPU usage is up in certain scenarios but it's keeping a higher framerate

[fleet stump]

try to do it irl see what happens

[tropic valve]

Im assuming async in the future

[heady cloak]

makes sense

[tropic valve]

I love getting in a coma

W injury

[tough yew]

getting into a coma would be more than enough time for half sword to release fully

[drowsy geode]

new strat just dropped

[tropic valve]

Omg no

[drowsy geode]

can't wait till Q4? comatose yourself today!

[tropic valve]

Lmaooo

[near briar]

booboo

[drowsy geode]

it's never been easier with the new technology of running into fences

[stiff belfry]

anyways, im calling this move the tornado spin and seeing what it looks like in 3rd person. im gonna be the best quarterstaffer to ever live

[tropic valve]

Want a faster way? Try a baseball bat on your head!

[fallen dust]

Is that a fucking pool inflatable?

[drowsy geode]

with our new patented 'brain damage', you won't even be able to tell when half sword drops!

[tropic valve]

Freaky willie

[heady cloak]

i threw someone earlier lol, im tryna refine the technique

[finite river]

[topaz oak]

what is ground fight?

[tropic valve]

Bloodbath

Carnage

[heady cloak]

it actually kinda does lol

[vast elm]

so what is the update? hotfixes?

[tropic valve]

Scroll up

[fallen dust]

So

You're on the ground

And you start swinging like a madman.

On your back. Like a baby.

[tropic valve]

Turtle

[topaz oak]

oh lol i figured, the kinda worded it like it was a game mode

[cinder stone]

o: updete?

[jagged lantern]

where is the patch note?

[edgy jacinth]

falling down is now harder huh

that was already the only thing stopping me from going full saiyan

it's over for these willies

also ground fighting is back awesome change, allows for fun shenanigans

[cinder stone]

ground fighting?

[dense ridge]

Where you reading these patch notes?

[cinder stone]

which ones?

[edgy jacinth]

somebody pasted them a little further up in this chat

[cinder stone]

oooh

[edgy jacinth]

bout to load up to try it myself

[cinder stone]

^

[jagged lantern]

any link?

[tulip spire]

how did i manage to get through the ultimate challenge the first time without throwing my computer out of a window

[edgy jacinth]

ur built different

[worthy folio]

Hello everyone,

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand:

[cinder stone]

you kick ass and/or you fiddled with the health settings you naughty you~

lol

either way it's still neat, especially back when the bosses could topple you over so easily

[quick wolf]

Getting up faster is my fav, usually if you get knocked down its game over, cant wait to see if this changes things

[edgy jacinth]

wow it definitely feels harder to fall over

willie got some balance now

it's harder to knock over opp willie too though it feels like lol

[cinder stone]

ooooh, Epic graphics on my rig (amd ryzen 5600x, nvidia rtx 3060 12gb, 64gb ram) feels a bit smoother now o:

[worthy folio]

affects ai as well though

[cinder stone]

like it's still laggy, but it's less choppy

[worthy folio]

ai is able to get up as fast as you which can be more challenging and fun

[worthy folio]

dx11 or dx12

[quick wolf]

oh damnnn didnt think about that, thats a fair trade imo tho, when someone gets knocked down you have plenty of time to hit them again, even if they get back up theyre off balance

[cinder stone]

dx12

[edgy jacinth]

oh man

ground fighting is gonna be so fun lmao

[cinder stone]

what's ground fighting?

[edgy jacinth]

you can use your arms on the ground again

[cinder stone]

cool!

[edgy jacinth]

throw punches and kicks

[edgy granite]

no way

[quick wolf]

Get knocked on the ground but can still take out someones legs with an axe

[median pike]

wdym smoother? i have same gpu but ryzen 7600 and 32gb ram. i get 45fps max xd

ah sorry

[median pike]

didnt read this

youre correct

high graphics on dx12 is running at 75-80fps but i feel a bit of input lag so ill change back to dx11

[snow fulcrum]

i beat the game finally

[cinder stone]

poo, still can't keep fighting after losing an arm :c I kinda miss that from the old abyss demo

[cinder stone]

I mean, it can't hurt forever does it?

[edgy jacinth]

feels much harder to knock each other over now

[quick wolf]

damn any tips? my highest is man at arms so far

[eager blade]

Don't die before your opponent

[brave rose]

So, never got a crash since i reduced the blood. Put the gore on max and the blood on the lowest before it switches from grotesque. The rest on graphics remains high and on fhd

[quick wolf]

thanks gng

[near lichen]

W UPDATE

[modest veldt]

there's an update?

[topaz oak]

goddamn its like impossible to fall over now

[harsh oak]

i'm literally doing Spinjitzu movements no problems now dayumn

[unborn current]

Thanks dude, but where u found it?

[wintry imp]

https://gyazo.com/6ed4c0ae231d1811a6d785a0eaba26cb
pardon the framerate im running the game on my samsung smart toilet

ah shit it wont embed. fuck!

either way i was trying to get a clip running straight into a sword and accidentally did this

[quick wolf]

It was pasted into here earlier, not sure where it was posted originally

[agile salmon]

tis an update rn?

[quick wolf]

Yeah

[agile salmon]

tbh Im kinda curious

Will they add more weapons from europe

like from eastern europe from the balkans from southern europe

from russia from ballictic states

or is it all js gonna be western europe

[near lichen]

bodies feel heavier now nice

streaming in voice

[quick wolf]

If you look at #announcements it seems like for the full game they are adding a crazy amount of weapons so theres prob a good chance

[agile salmon]

And I hope they add some armour of serbian knights

bc serbian knights were super good

[cinder stone]

There's no pleasing some people, sheesh

also oops, got fatality'd by a rake

[quick wolf]

Like this?

[ebon maple]

Was thy demo jyst patched or is it only a new anouncement ?

[quick wolf]

Yeah, new update

[ebon maple]

Insane for a free demo

Yay. Cant wait to spend some money to thy team

[edgy jacinth]

devs go hard

[analog stream]

And they patched the stuff that bothered the most too

[ebon maple]

Anouncement end message got me hyped yet it remains mysterious

Any patch notes ?

Ahaha amazing

[cinder stone]

this is already more managable :3

[agile salmon]

Nope

[quick wolf]

damn well send a pic

[stiff belfry]

i have an unhealthy relationship with this game

[agile salmon]

And this

[agile salmon]

tis is serbian armour

[snow fulcrum]

long weapons only

[quick wolf]

bro is blind 😭

[quick wolf]

facts

[snow fulcrum]

deadass cant win without them ateast i cant

[tulip spire]

i hate to be insensitive or anything but like. that looks exactly like the armor in the knight tier.

[snow fulcrum]

try not to strike first

[quick wolf]

what weapon do you use at man at arms level?

[jolly gorge]

whats in update?

[agile salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/heavy-tf2-gif-26558298

[quick wolf]

this would be crazy to fight against, absolutely no skin, just gotta use a hammer or sum

[snow fulcrum]

not sure what its called i havent even played the recent update

[tulip spire]

https://tenor.com/view/crowley-shrug-knight-black-knight-gif-14919879

i would literally need each individual difference described to me bc that's already in the game from my pov

[agile salmon]

it's not the same

At all

that's missing chain mail

and has some spots

to be hit from

[cinder stone]

it's like he gave up at the end lol

[quick wolf]

it does seem similar tbh

[tulip spire]

that does have a bulge in the face and some more spots on the arms with more armor

but you can NOT say it's not similar at all

[snow fulcrum]

mind if i dm you so i can show you i dont have image perms😭

[quick wolf]

he was in a giving mood

[tulip spire]

i think that's an insult to people with eyes

[cinder stone]

after 5 minutes of knocking him around he oughta

[quick wolf]

Yes please honestly

[long veldt]

update? game is updating, what's new?

[snow fulcrum]

the final fight is so funnn

[agile salmon]

Similiar yes

did i sound mad lol? i was just stating an observation

compared to how easy it was before to fall over

[quiet spear]

:D

wait, what does ground fighting mean? Is it like how it was in the Abyss demo?

[edgy jacinth]

man it is really hard to knock willie over now lmao

i just snapped this man's leg in half and he's still hopping around

[topaz oak]

yeah i was getting bent 90 degrees and staying on my feet

[edgy jacinth]

well, trying to anyways

[topaz oak]

also the new arrow time effect is cool

[lean lintel]

oh mb

[jolly gorge]

what is ground fight?

[quick wolf]

You can swing your arms or a weapon while you on your back

wish enemies would not surrender and fight till the end but fighting on ground is nice enough

[agile salmon]

it kinda reminds me of this

tbh

[snow fulcrum]

what all is new in the update?

[agile salmon]

I mean they areh umans

if a huge axe cut ur leg for even a bit

or arm

[amber mortar]

[agile salmon]

Yea I wont question it

Cuz im there too

[rancid sluice]

I was gonna try to go back to sleep but nah I guess I'm gonna download the patch

[strong mango]

using a shield as a weapon in this game does no dmg

[snow fulcrum]

thanks lmaoo

[distant drum]

when i turn on slow mo i can some kinda objects clash constantly then i just drop my weapon?

[strong mango]

bro I wacked someone in the head like 6 times and it didnt do nun

[jolly gorge]

i mean its a gory game where you fight people, fight till the end by both end have more fun than quickly ended fight because you damage them beyond repair

[quick wolf]

I havent tried but I heard people saying that swinging is better

[jolly gorge]

i wish there were some meter to adjust pain tolerence from both sides, would be cool

[rancid sluice]

I mean... There is

[errant igloo]

hey can I ask where the patch notes are

[rancid sluice]

lol

[errant igloo]

👁️

[agile salmon]

I mean I aim for their neck most of the time

[strong mango]

I find that if u do it with just a shield u have to use it like you're punching where u hold left and right click and just punch punch

[agile salmon]

and it pisses me off how sometimes the sword js goes thro the neck and doesnt even cut it off

but when a part of the axe's wood touches someone neck

[cinder stone]

that'll get fixed in due time, I'm sure

[agile salmon]

it magically fails off

😭

[jolly gorge]

not really, there such things as cut of limb or impale is making bots surrender/holding to place where you hit them so its not a fight anymore

[agile salmon]

AND SMOOTH TOO

I do.

Because im a bloody bastard.

and I take enjoyment in cutting off heads.

[grim grail]

has anyone else had this? Every willie i play as has like really wobbly knees at the start and he just falls over / stops randomly (i can't send the clip)

[jolly gorge]

there is one weird moment tho

[rancid sluice]

The game's focus is still on realism at the end of the day

[cunning nebula]

I’m childish

[strong mango]

Is there a shield in game that has like a pointed edge or sum

I do nto want the lil willie

[rancid sluice]

seriously? big if true

[jolly gorge]

when your leg is cutted of and damage to you is scrolled to zero, you trying to jump like tiger from winny the pooh

[agile salmon]

what if for example

I cut your head in half

[cunning nebula]

If I can’t use my legs I headbutt tf outta them

[fallow sentinel]

round housed like crazy

[jolly gorge]

and corpses in abyss would be a cherry on top

[smoky quail]

what exactly got added this update?

[agile salmon]

weapon handling

ground fight

improvments to fps

[fallow sentinel]

get me in half sword UFC

[agile salmon]

so buhurt is acutally playable

[agile salmon]

nah uh

you come here and pull up to swordsmanship

[sick marten]

I'm among the players who are beating willies everyday

[agile salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/fencing-match-pauline-ranvier-marta-martyanova-france-fencing-team-russia-fencing-team-gif-22848616

[fallow sentinel]

nah u get my round house kicks

[agile salmon]

I cut willie's in half daily

[agile salmon]

do you wanna end up getting cut in half

or shall I use my mace to snap ur neck

Mad eraser im feeling bored

how should I fight the willie, very stilish way and not begin hit once and trying not to mind the gore

[agile salmon]

orrrr

be brutal as fuck and don't care about the damage

[agile salmon]

one of many willies lost in the war

against players

[fallow sentinel]

like this

[agile salmon]

no beheading shame

btw what rank do I go to?

fuc-

rank?

veteran man at arms

[gaunt cedar]

I hate when people beat my willy

[agile salmon]

knight

[agile salmon]

Do you hate it when they cut him in half

so man at arms

[gaunt cedar]

Yeah its so annoying when im fighting the bigger willies and they cut my willy in half

[rancid sluice]

it's only because you're beating their willies first

[agile salmon]

today

I declare war

to all pole arms enjoyers

[rancid sluice]

you'd lose

[agile salmon]

Nah id win.

[gaunt cedar]

No

[agile salmon]

with skill and tech

[strong mango]

is it mean to hide behind a shield while hitting someone in the knees with a mace

[agile salmon]

sword beats the pole arm

[agile salmon]

it's coward like

[gaunt cedar]

No

[rancid sluice]

you wouldn't even get close enough

[gaunt cedar]

Thats how they beat my willy

[neon swallow]

Hi guys

[gaunt cedar]

They hide behind shields

[strong mango]

not really, if you are better equipped its the other persons fault really

[agile salmon]

I would

[neon swallow]

Yeah

[strong mango]

My character broke both legs and arms and is still fighting.

[neon swallow]

Guys, it's okay that my leg was cut off and: 1) I didn't die from blood loss 2) I learned to fly by kicking?

[rancid sluice]

seems like polearm handling has improved a bit in terms of stabbing

[snow galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/кот-удивление-страх-поражение-шок-gif-2398927295581466925

[fallow sentinel]

dont question my swordsmanship

im the goat

[shell onyx]

what was in the new update that came out today?

[agile salmon]

A single swordsman

beat 3 pole arms

[quick wolf]

Hello everyone,

Here's a small update addressing some of the frustrations you mentioned in the previous build:

Falling down is now harder
Getting up is faster
Weapon handling has been improved
Performance improvement (might not be perfect though, we're stil working on it)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand:

We brought ground fight back.

[rancid sluice]

lol nevermind that you're in full plate and none of them are armoured

[agile salmon]

correct

[shell onyx]

If so why is this update not mentioned in #updates or on the steam page XD

[pearl cliff]

the pants stealer

[quick wolf]

its on the steam community page

[dreamy phoenix]

it actually is mentioned on the steam page, it's just in the community hub

I'd appreciate it if they also made the updates show up when you choose the game in Steam

is it just me or the vertical downward hits are much easier to land now?

[wooden socket]

whats the best factions

[shell onyx]

yeah I only check the "announcements" tab for news. Steam forums these days are just toxic sludge.

[rancid sluice]

most stabbery and the like have been improved handling-wise

[dreamy phoenix]

depends on what you need, I liked more stamina at first but then gravitated towards more HP

[rancid sluice]

more kicking, obviously

[dreamy phoenix]

gonna test the stabs more

[wintry imp]

i finally beat the baron

YOU GET TO PLAY AS HIM

[shell onyx]

You have not beaten me

[pearl cliff]

idk what the fuss is about, i beat baron first try

and i wasnt even using any cheats or any modifiers

[harsh sorrel]

Exactly

[rancid sluice]

i also beat the baron on my first try, it was just getting there that was a pain in the ass

[wintry imp]

i only recently started playing

[pearl cliff]

exactly

[wintry imp]

which is why im excited :>

[wispy patio]

Half sword vr when

[rancid sluice]

probably never

[quick wolf]

thats just embarrassing

[harsh sorrel]

Never

[cunning nebula]

I got all the way to him on my first try then failed then it took me like 50 tries to get to him again

[fallow sentinel]

bot

[harsh sorrel]

This game is ACTUALLY peak, but at the same time can be SO ass

[fallow sentinel]

fight 3 knights as beggar

[pearl cliff]

if anyone knows about loadouts and stuff, please check modders guild hall

[fallow sentinel]

ight

[wintry imp]

i feel like a little kid

[deep shale]

where patch notes

[dreamy phoenix]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2397300/

[deep shale]

yippe!!

[pearl cliff]

thanks

[shell onyx]

For some reason new update doesnt shown on the steam peg

[rancid sluice]

i think it's only on the community hub

maybe they'll update the pages later?

[deep shale]

now that groundfighting is back, i can better protect my melon head when i topple to the floor

[rancid sluice]

whatever the most current version of the tech demo you get, steam will auto-update and have the patch in place

[chrome flame]

Halfsword vr released yet?

[rancid sluice]

never

[gilded breach]

fatal errors still happening

[rancid sluice]

they addressed it in the patch notes

probably not going to have a fix until early access

[dark yoke]

what does it mean “a patch for you check notes”

holy that’s bad english

nevermind that was a stupid question

[rancid sluice]

i'm going to continue to blame UE5 lol

even if it's a third party plugin

[gilded breach]

ive been trying to find the patch notes where can i see em?

[dreamy phoenix]

UE5 is a weird engine in general

but I'll be honest, UE4 was as bad when it was relevant, khkh

same with UE3, I'm just not a huge fan of UE in general, I suppose

[rancid sluice]

someone's probably gonna have to put the patch notes in the pins for this channel

[dreamy phoenix]

aside from the first one

holy shit, peasant weapons got buffed the fuck up

I can destroy people with both axes now

[gilded breach]

like where are this notes that pierre is talking about

[rancid sluice]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2397300/view/536602812925083875?l=english

[haughty spear]

Y’all, whacking some ragamuffin in the skull with a mace has to be my favorite pastime

[wooden socket]

the fighting lowkey feels really fluid and even better than its ever been

[rancid sluice]

i'm really liking the patches so far

it especially scratches my polearm monkey brain

[dreamy phoenix]

oh yeah, polearms got better definitely

they still got the soapy hands problem during stabbing though

[wicked needle]

people still blaming the hammer when people squish their fingers with it

[dreamy phoenix]

Willy doesn't always grab the best part of the polearm

[dreamy phoenix]

I'm gonna squish your fingers rn

[open sparrow]

how long does it usually take to get good enough to beat the gauntlet? Been grinding for hours but can't get past stage 3

[rancid sluice]

does anyone else get the splitting 'pain' audio whenever a willy gets split in half? is that intentional?

it probably took me about 20 or so hours?

[finite river]

Where is half sword set, old england?

[rancid sluice]

a 1400s german-speaking country

idr why it's german specifically but that's what i've been told

[dreamy phoenix]

could be a bug but it's pretty fun

[finite river]

Doesn't really seem like they're speaking the old german we learned in school

[dreamy phoenix]

I think it feels more like Middle English

[finite river]

Because I live in Germany and we learned a bunch of that in history class but may just be a different region of Germany ig

[dreamy phoenix]

I could be wrong though

[finite river]

Yeah

[rancid sluice]

either way i know it's the 15th century

[limpid storm]

not sure if its even german. seems to sound more like the englisch sided language

[dense ridge]

holy crap, you fall down WAY less

[rancid sluice]

yeah, supposed to be harder to fall and easier to get up

[finite river]

I mean iirc a lot of english words back in the day came from either german or latin but it's more like medieval english yeah

[dreamy phoenix]

German. Latin and French

[limpid storm]

yea same, the only thing i understand as a german is "knauser", the rest sounds a lot like old english

[dreamy phoenix]

Norman invasion was a thing

[finite river]

It's been a while since I learned this stuff though

[dreamy phoenix]

ban this guy

[analog pelican]

Why was there an update done? what did it do?

[rancid sluice]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2397300/view/536602812925083875?l=english

[analog pelican]

i see, very neat.

[dreamy phoenix]

oh SHIT there's a new slow-motion sound

I liked the old one more tbh

[rancid sluice]

huh

[dreamy phoenix]

I liked its brightness in particular

[rancid sluice]

i actually kinda like the new one

sounds like opening castle gates

[light storm]

erm i dont think legs are supposed to bend this way

[dreamy phoenix]

yeee it's also pretty cool

[light storm]

i may have broken this guys knee caps

oh btw you can get up so much faster now

cool

[dense ridge]

i havent been able to fall over yet

[gilded breach]

ye new sounds are nice and pleasing

[gilded breach]

same

[gilded breach]

cept for ult challenge where it means i instantly die

[rancid sluice]

i hate to say it but now it might be a little too hard to fall over?

[dreamy phoenix]

new sounds? Is there anything else aside from the new slowmo?

[gilded breach]

i still hate ult challenge

[rancid sluice]

i didn't really mind falling over before tbh

[dreamy phoenix]

same actually, for the most part

[light storm]

LMAO

[gilded breach]

i noticed willie surrender faster

[rancid sluice]

i fully accept that i probably have an unpopular opinion because i didn't really want falling fixed lol

[gilded breach]

like the enemy willies seem to take less before giving up

[rancid sluice]

but hey, it's probably better for more players

than masochists such as myself

[light garnet]

half sword first game to break one halfswordillion concurrent players

[gilded breach]

nah i was of the same opinion but its not a big deal

[dreamy phoenix]

I didn't mind the falling for the most part, it just felt a bit random at times

[dense ridge]

falling needed to be fixed. Thats just not what happens when you take a light tap with a weapon that was barely swung at you

but maybe now its too far in the opposite direction 😂

[gilded breach]

its almost never a light tap

[rancid sluice]

maybe, but now next to nothing is going to knock you over lol

[dreamy phoenix]

like, you try to go for a stab, collide with a guy and fall like a fuckin rock

[gilded breach]

its usually the momentum from u running into the enemies helmet/shield/whatever

[dreamy phoenix]

honestly, it kind of sounds like real life, pff

[dense ridge]

Like if a dude was holding his shield out, and it lightly tapped your head, you dropped like a rock, glass jaw

[dreamy phoenix]

oh ye, colliding with a shield used to be a huge problem
In a good way

[river steppe]

waow they changed the slow time sound

[rancid sluice]

don't run into shields, headass 😠

[pearl cliff]

yeah thats how i beat the baron, i lightly hit his head with a longsword and he just fell over and yielded

[dense ridge]

shields shouldnt KO you

[gilded breach]

just a light tap

[pearl cliff]

exactly

[dense ridge]

you can watch hema dudes get fucking slammed with a shield and be fine, because thats what helmets are for

[dreamy phoenix]

shield should totally KO, just not as easily

[rancid sluice]

willie's got a very vulnerable bald head

[gilded breach]

https://tenor.com/view/hook-hajime-no-ippo-kimura-boxing-gif-25832371

[pearl cliff]

hes just a lil vulnerable guy

[dreamy phoenix]

if only he had some hair...............

[gilded breach]

the light tap in question

[rancid sluice]

nah i'd win

[uncut sun]

absolute cinema

[rancid sluice]

i love the part where willie says it's half swording time and flibbertigibbets all over the place

[dense ridge]

alright they still wont let me swing a sword while i have a severed arm 😢

[rancid sluice]

brother why you out here losing arms smh

[dense ridge]

shit happens out in the battlefield

especially when you are running around trying to trip your opponent

😔

[rancid sluice]

sad but true

[limpid storm]

maybe not the way to go since its harder to fall lol

[dense ridge]

im just seeing if its even possible to push people over at all

[neon mirage]

willies give up so easily in fist fights

[rancid sluice]

it definitely is, but it's a challenge

[slender hull]

HOLY SHIT

[dense ridge]

When are they adding an option for friendly fire. Clearly my willie is beheading himself.

[rancid sluice]

i don't think they're giving up any easier. i think it's genuinely because they can't fall lmao

[cedar harness]

why did half sword require an update* is there new content or like a bug fix?

[dense ridge]

patch

[dreamy phoenix]

damn, that kick sent him FAR

[cedar harness]

grrr

[rancid sluice]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2397300/view/536602812925083875?l=english

[slender hull]

SWINGING WEAPONS ON THE GROUND

[neon mirage]

i dunno man earlier when i knocked em down they just got back up

but when i do now they just give up

maybe cuz its

harder for them to fall

[slender hull]

Which means legless combat is back

Time for clutch wins again

[dense ridge]

remember to feed your willies

[rancid sluice]

goddamn willie doesn't even know how to get CTE

[limber kiln]

What's up with this stealth update? The fact that you physically can't fall down anymore is just a shitty idea

[rancid sluice]

it's not a stealth update

[dense ridge]

this is what it takes to get him off his damn feet

[limber kiln]

I don't see no patchnotes in #updates, or anything in announcements.

[slender hull]

You can fall down if you’re hit hard enough

[slender hull]

Its on steam

[rancid sluice]

then you're not looking very hard

[limber kiln]

???

[errant fossil]

i hate willie getting knocked down

[dense ridge]

i mean its definitely not in updates

[limber kiln]

Steam doesn't show posts for demos in my library, most updates have been posted in #updates too, so why is it not there?

[dense ridge]

No more polearm shafts knocking you down when you try to get in close, this is great

[light storm]

holy fucking shit i love breaking their legs and watching them suffer since they dont die

[vital quiver]

half sword be making psychopaths now

[pallid oar]

Baby vs Hydro Bomb ahh

[light storm]

i agree

[limber kiln]

Yeah, I really don't like this update at all.

[pallid oar]

stupid peasant

[molten galleon]

New demo got much more gore though?

[limber kiln]

I've broken this guy's kneecap thoroughly, and he's still just walking over

[molten galleon]

It took Herculean effort to cut people in half in the old demo

[pallid oar]

better blood
willies are not organless anymore
better physics
baron
gauntlet

i agree

[hazy trench]

duuude why did they change the slowmo sfx

[vital quiver]

fr

[molten galleon]

Exactly king ❤️

[dense ridge]

So you can knock them over, you just need to cripple all of their limbs with a beat stick

[cosmic adder]

It is safe to assume that all the armour assets are original?
On the off chance it was bought I was hoping to get it if it is off the market place somewhere for my own game....

[tight isle]

its all original and u can see them in #work-in-progress

[molten galleon]

Gang the only gore Willie had was a giant noodle and textured blood

[cosmic adder]

thought so, they looks really good. Oh well, Ig I either have to find somewhere else or fire up blender myself

[rancid sluice]

yeah, i feel like people are misremembering the gore from the playtest. the gore doesn't involve organs rn (yet) but the willies actually have organs now

[molten galleon]

There are pics of Willie sliced open where you can very clearly see individual organs and whatnot

You can see the lungs here

[rancid sluice]

jesus willie put your shame back on

[tight isle]

Bro is just made of red

[pallid oar]

this tuff chat or nah?

[rancid sluice]

i'm gonna be so real, i don't see much of a difference

[rancid sluice]

minor throat irritation

[molten galleon]

While the new blood has its quirks, I still think it does a better job. The old textured blood didn't do well on fences if I remember, and the new gore system is only going to improve from here.

[tight isle]

that and i think id want to gore system to get more optimized for performance cause rn its the biggest source of frame drops (at least for me)

[pallid oar]

same

[rancid sluice]

yea

[tight isle]

thank u jynxi feet lover

[rancid sluice]

i got high hopes for early access

and if it isn't exactly what i want i will cry and shit my pants

[tight isle]

we expect a fully working multiplayer server browser and pierre on a pike

[warm osprey]

to save progress, how do you save file ? anyone??

[rancid sluice]

gauntlet progress automatically saves

you only lose progress if you die

[dense ridge]

alright, they are stable enough to stand while holding their legs off the ground

[warm osprey]

apparently theres a way to save progress even if you die, i just dont know how to

[gaunt cedar]

I love gore

[wispy lintel]

how do i kick

[tight isle]

space

[dense ridge]

space

[wispy lintel]

thx

[rancid sluice]

rocketship

[gaunt cedar]

Lift your foot up and shoot it forward

Basic kick

[tight isle]

chat did u know if u kick in slowmotion and spin ur mouse around really fast you become a ballerina

works better if u have slowmotion from a mod rather than the arrow time

[gaunt cedar]

And you can wipe your ass with the enemies body

[warm osprey]

waiting for online play🔥

[gaunt cedar]

Real

[tight isle]

see u in 2030

[rancid sluice]

you're gonna be waiting for a long time

[dense ridge]

online play is never

😂

[gaunt cedar]

Small buhurt with me n the bros

[warm osprey]

it will come

[gaunt cedar]

"BRO COME HELP ME TAKE DOWN THIS GUY HE GOT FULL ARMOR"

[rancid sluice]

nah

[gaunt cedar]

"BRO WHY THE FUCK CANT I MOVE ON THE GROUND"

[tight isle]

poleaxe superiority

[gaunt cedar]

"HES SHOVING HIS FUCKING MACE ON MY HEAD HELP"

[errant fossil]

average armour gameplay

[gaunt cedar]

"BRO HOW THE FUCK DID HE STAB ME THROUGH MY CHESTPLATE"

[dense ridge]

well thats gotta hurt

[gaunt cedar]

Put your penis away

[rancid sluice]

what are you expecting with mods bud

[gaunt cedar]

The willy has his willy out

It can

There can be health mods

I dont know any I dont mod

But there probably are some out there

[tight isle]

god i fucking love the dash speed increase in gauntlet mode

[rancid sluice]

can you chill the fuck out, dog, why are you on the offensive with everything lol

[river steppe]

why are there falling screams when falling from great heights isnt even supposed to happen

[tight isle]

he's not chill eraser

[rancid sluice]

true

[light storm]

fella bit the curb

[languid nest]

It will be a thing in the future

[river steppe]

elevation in half sword... looking forward

[tight isle]

https://tenor.com/view/nemesis-resident-evil-gif-25555465

[light storm]

in the older playtest i stuck polearms into the stomach of willie then picked it up then it launched him straight into the air

[storm storm]

how do I fix my arm

[light storm]

hearing his scream then it suddenly cutting off when he hit the ground was kinda sastisfying

[tight isle]

u can use mods to launch sky high and you'll start screaming

[light storm]

LMAO WHAT

[tight isle]

or buckler launch

flight of ganon willie

[fallen dust]

"Sir, this is a Wendy's"

[river steppe]

buckler launch has been heavily nerfed in the latest update </3

[lucid moon]

whats new in the patch!

[tight isle]

get up faster

knocked down less easy

[dense ridge]

im inspired

no eating for 1 year

[storm storm]

btw this is how it happened

[tight isle]

hit the nae nae of doom

[storm storm]

Bro it's permanently stuck there

[fallow sentinel]

round house gang

[storm storm]

he grabs backward too

[light storm]

why did this willie turn into a ghost

everything goes through him

[river steppe]

buckler launch as of the latest update

[fallow sentinel]

aint beating these UFC skills

[river steppe]

MY EARS

[tight isle]

spinning my polearms around like an idiot feels so good even if its inefficient

[fallen dust]

HE LEARNED HIS PLACE

[tight isle]

it makes me feel like a psycho seeing no one else play on max fov

id love to do first person more if half the helmets didnt block ur entire fuckin vision

[strange wasp]

uh idk whats up with the new "performance optimization" but i get a lag spike every time i hit someone now????

[dense ridge]

i had no such issue playing the update, report it in the bug feedback maybe with your hardware information

[fallow sentinel]

THE DETERMITION ON THIS FELLA IVE ROUND HOUSED HIM 30 TIMES TO THE BODY AND FACE AND HES STILL WILLIN G TO FIGHT LIKE A MAN

[tight isle]

my frame rate is higher but gore still lags me a shit ton so it might be that

if no one is hit i think my framerate jumped by about 10ish frames post update

[strange wasp]

it feels like an HDD issue but i had the game installed on my hdd before the update and i havent had it before

[storm storm]

I use lag as my excuse to use slow motion

it's really fun

[tight isle]

slow motion is so fun tho

[tight isle]

anyone know why this guard just stops working when u get too close to another willie (is it cause it sucks as a guard)

[storm storm]

funny ahhh weapon sticking

[fallow sentinel]

HE FINALLY GAVE UP

[hazy sandal]

My god, he’s the chosen one

[river steppe]

do yall know any good ways to fly bug

[fallow sentinel]

as u can see i have a red forehead from headbutting

[quiet spear]

help..

[river steppe]

how

[quiet spear]

I feel like a.. plastic bag flying through the sky lol

[quiet spear]

all I did was pull out a sword in the abyss lol

[tight isle]

exit stage left

[fallow sentinel]

u can do it in HSE by pressing a jump keybind

[quiet spear]

i don't have that enabled

[fallow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[quiet spear]

because it fucked up my progress on standard and kept getting me crashed

without UE4SS it doesn't work, thus

[fallow sentinel]

round housing in fist fight has to be my greatest achievement

[quiet spear]

idk, because I don't use it

[fallow sentinel]

i did i spinning head kick bro

thats a round house

[edgy jacinth]

round house is actually different

[latent moon]

its just a clip of willie falling over

[edgy jacinth]

no spin necessary for a round kick

[sinful flint]

whats new in the update ? only an horrible slowmow sound?

[fallow sentinel]

i spun and hit him in the jaw like im a UFC fighter

[wet stump]

anyone else unable to click the violence icons after the update?

[fallow sentinel]

i prefer it

its like playtest

[wet stump]

i cant even play the game

[rare hearth]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[wet stump]

thanks

[split schooner]

whutz da new stuff

[rare hearth]

you can fight back when youre on the ground

you can wake up faster

you get knocked down harder

[split schooner]

ah thats convenient

[rare hearth]

truely

[opal swallow]

is flying considered cheating (vanilla, no mods)?

[wispy glen]

yo the new slowmo sound is bad af

[rare hearth]

yes

[gilded breach]

Sure does

[shell onyx]

Well as you would have to hack or mod the game to have it I kinda think it is

[opal swallow]

even if it was caused by an item?

i was goin sideways, not up

[river steppe]

how would you fly though

[rare hearth]

you should just report it in #1047240101152960525

[opal swallow]

not fly but more of just go quite fast in one direction

[rare hearth]

thats a bug and it should be fixed

[river steppe]

how did you do it

[sinful flint]

new slow sound is horrific

[opal swallow]

i dont know, it just happened, i dont think i can recreate it at will without more research

[shell onyx]

right well going fast in one direction isn't flying

being above the ground and not falling is flying

[slow jolt]

hey yall, sorry for the probably common question but where do i find patch noes

[rancid sluice]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2397300/view/536602812925083875?l=english

[opal swallow]

i suppose

[slow jolt]

how does one find this black magic link

[opal swallow]

still a bug right?

[rancid sluice]

it's in the community hub on steam

[slow jolt]

oh, thank you

[wet stump]

is it just me or did the performance also improve? I'm not getting lag whenever i stab someone anymore.

[slow jolt]

with the exception of boss willies, are all willies equal or are some of them just unironically strogner than others

[rancid sluice]

maybe not stronger but some can be more stubborn

[coarse isle]

fight as peasant ant take the pitchfork, trust me its op as fuck, i run with that until the 6. champion

[slow jolt]

i see

also how can ai willies lop my arm off so easily

i must replicate this magic

[wet stump]

you can also do that severing limbs is really op

[slow jolt]

yes and i must know how

i must join the willies in the lopping

[wet stump]

depends on the weapon but usually you just hit hard with the edge and that works

[honest ibex]

personally the only way ive ever taken off a limb is by hacking at very precise points on a dead body with an axe for a couple minutes straight

[slow jolt]

but the willies look as if they do it with very little power

[wet stump]

what's your gore setting

[slow jolt]

like they dont seem to need to have too much momentum

[honest ibex]

middle, does that affect it? max gore destroys my pc

[wet stump]

turn it slightly higher than middle

[honest ibex]

interesting....

[wet stump]

slightly lower than middle basically removes it

[wet stump]

okay i cant be the only one who feels like they improved performance. Stabbing and chopping doesnt lag for me anymore

[drowsy geode]

I can't play it for the next 2 hours 😭

[honest ibex]

performance is definitely better, buhurts are still a lagfest but anything else runs noticeably more smoothly

[drowsy geode]

what changed??

[slow jolt]

the combat feels better for some reason

though that could just be placebo for me

[wet stump]

agreed, might just be placebo for me too since i havent played it in a little while

[wet stump]

but they improved stabbing and it shows, you can actually stab and rip properly, so a polearm isnt just for linear wounds anymore

[tight isle]

ignore the loud shitty music but you can just tell a billhook user "no"

[drowsy geode]

wide ass monitor jeez

[slow jolt]

so real

a few hours ago

my willie's knife DEFLECTED

[drowsy geode]

how do you do that weird sping above the head?

[wet stump]

my pc doesnt scream for mercy all the time now

they must have changed more than what they're saying in the update notes

[pearl cliff]

nice one

[tight isle]

if u create momentum spinning a poleaxe going up to the left you can use the "swap hands" button or X and it transfers the momentum to the right side like a spin

[drowsy geode]

guys star react this please I want to break the bot

[wintry void]

[drowsy geode]

[limpid vale]

[limpid vale]

[wet stump]

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-motivate-jack-black-happy-nacho-libre-gif-15033135

[amber dawn]

Wait so theres an update out now?

[sick cedar]

God please add more in depth graphic settings 🙏

[little verge]

Correct.

[gritty dew]

God I can’t wait to get home and play it

[limpid vale]

how do i play the small gauntlet arena

[tight isle]

sellsword arts loves their giant greatsword "the montante"

[cerulean cloud]

halfsword engine

[tardy patrol]

guys do u all play the demo or the game is released ?

[drowsy geode]

and a "reset to default" button for sliders

[tight isle]

its the demo

[gritty dew]

The demo

[drowsy geode]

ppl think it's a small thing, but it would change so much

[wet stump]

should be on the right in the menu then press play demo

[wet stump]

yeah but why would i think i am the sword

[gritty dew]

You are cooking

[spark flame]

half sword might be playable now

[obtuse pivot]

lot of halfsword updates rn

[tawny fog]

holy based patchnotes I was having issues with all four of those things lol

[obtuse pivot]

wait did it already get an update??

[wet stump]

yes please, gore too

[drowsy geode]

cause my OCD ass cannot push myself to change the sliders at all because I'm scared I'll never get them back to their original position

[stable holly]

i wonder if early access will have proper graphics settings now so i can turn down other settings but the global lighting

[sick cedar]

More gore settings would be nice but at the same time id rather just be able to set the games graphics to be able to run on my pc without killing the resolution

[gritty dew]

I wonder if the full version will have a skill tree

[wet stump]

the small changes wont do anything, trust me its fine but if its really bad you can delete the settings file and relaunch the game

[sick cedar]

half sword has been missing this forever and its really something it needs

[solar salmon]

I wonder if they will add martial arts of other cultures like the Japanese or Indians

[drowsy geode]

yeah, QOL goes a longggg way

[stable holly]

ikr

[glacial citrus]

Are Willies still made of paper?

Or I can finally play on grotesque?

[pearl cliff]

https://medal.tv/sv/games/half-sword/clips/k92QhZ0HzprQKX4a9?invite=cr-MSxHSk0sMTQ0ODY5MDMy

i was so pissed

[gritty dew]

Damn dude

[drowsy geode]

lmfao spider man

[gritty dew]

So would I

[glacial citrus]

Lmao

[stable holly]

the moment i will be able to do native resolution on half sword while also being able to turn down other unneccesary settings i shall be freed from my chains of pain

[tight isle]

[wet stump]
