Is this game using built in RT from U5 or something?

I see artifacting that looks like it. Or maybe its just using Lumen
Either way RT is not something I think is necessary for Halfsword at all based on current scope

the lagtime between input and output alone would be unplayable
yeah thats why i said it will become too laggy and slow though
dapper coral
Would be the only way really, ofc. I play a very physucs heavy game where one PC does all the calculations and just sends the appropriate packets to clients to render, and it indeed is very taxing
Even then shortcuts were made such as interpolating physics frames for clients.
lapis marsh
desync would be very very likely
dapper coral
I'm not sure how halfsword would do it. I know fuckall about game design and coding but I'd guess it'd be harder since halfsword is rather unique
tawdry void
You ever seen desynced paradox games that would be this whole thing
jolly gorge
and if each client is doing physics themselfs, if someone has a lower end computer, they will become decsyned
young saffron
adding multiplayer would mean no more mods tho. and that means no more chokeslamming willie from space 😢

Halfsword has so much promise that I honestly am not too concerned about MP. Clearly the devs (and I agree) want to focus on a quality core experience and MP would just be a luxury if they find its actually feasible.

very successful
and yet before it launched barely anyone knew about it

it just has to go from 'nobody knows about it' to 'mainstream or almost mainstream'

A lot of the ones I have still aren't that well known as far as games go, but anyone who plays roguelites in general has likely played or heard of them.

it's funny how we're all just agressively agreeing that halfsword is gonna be popular at launch

Or at minimum does it better than other games (within similar scope)
Not considering multiplayer in this equation

Yes
lapis marsh
the closest games to halfsword that i know of would be chivalry 2 or mordhau
runic steeple

so just dont move alot and it will do the job?
The window for parry is extremely narrow. If you move too far left or right your sword will miss the place it needs to be in
just try it with Arrow Time and see if it helps

it's not as much swinging your weapon against the other as much as placing it there
and letting (hoping) it actually catches
@serene tulip about 30 seconds worth of battle axe parrying
serene tulip
I worked on parrying the battle axe a little bit last night. Mainly this evening I just watched my friend play the game for the first time and then I went and slugged it out with a greatsword for a bit
So satisfying
bright belfry
parrying with and parrying against battleaxes and axes in general are a pain in a ass for me

Not sure what I cut but damn that was smooth lol
Back of neck?
serene tulip

I'm thinking of it because swords irl kind of have a snap to them
Like if I strike you with a Broadsword it is going to slightly recoil
And in doing so it swings to the center of my strike
So it is possible
