@noble agate

[noble agate]

[naive holly]

You cannot

Enhancer is only for the demo

The moment key rebinding becomes a thing, my Willie will become a helicopter. No pun intended

[bold radish]

many a willie died to my special the cheap neck shot

[meager oxide]

Javelin and Shield have been my favorite mid-tier combo recently

Its always the best when throwing the spear actually works

[meager oxide]

nasty shot!

[bold radish]

i dont know how to play thsi game

i learned this first hour in

and no matter how i try to change it almost always comes down to

half sword in the neck

[tulip spire]

i love clips where the person in the clip doesn't do any fancy shit like spinning a halberd over their head or throwing a sickle into a barons neck and instead just does what i do and stabs and pulls back until something starts bleeding because then i can point and go "heh that's so me" and then i feel good

[azure mirage]

LOL

[bold radish]

skill issue (same)

[keen forge]

Wait is half sword releasing next week or what

[azure mirage]

[woeful crescent]

[tough yew]

Not making any wip posts before its released

[azure mirage]

nah games out before next wed trust

[woeful crescent]

[little verge]

Yes.

[lapis marsh]

[hallow forum]

tuff

[quiet ferry]

Can every time someone asks when early access is coming out y’all delay the release of early access by a week

[devout talon]

We would only get it in 5 years then

[little verge]

Several people ask a minute, your math is off.

[devout talon]

Alright well lets say that 3 people ask a minute. 3x60=180 180x24=4,320 4320/52=83

So every day, we would lose 83 years

no thank you

[quiet ferry]

Bare minimum

Educate those filthy peasants to stop begging

[quaint sphinx]

so its going to prolly be in october

because this is the last wip before release

implying that the game releases soon

which means that it will release next Wednesday most likely

true

but you can hope

[soft osprey]

This is quite a leap

[quaint sphinx]

also smalled

[quaint sphinx]

still im betting on October

[lapis marsh]

it aint happenin bro

they edited the post 😭

[quaint sphinx]

lmao

fr

anyway i still think october is likely

[humble bloom]

I think the game is already released we just havent searched hard enough.
The holy grail.
The fountain of youth.
Its just a matter of time

[uneven galleon]

[lapis marsh]

i will find it

[uneven galleon]

EMBED FAIL

DONT ACT LIKE WE DIDNT SEE THAT

[devout talon]

Thou shall not speak of an item that cannot be seen

[azure mirage]

not at all dude

[uneven galleon]

😔

[quaint sphinx]

i was being optimistic

didnt realise they edited it

still im betting on october

[devout talon]

Kepontrucken, do you voice act ALL of the voices or just some?

[humble bloom]

This is the last weekly wip post.
I'm sure they'll sneak more things, just not as regularly.
I doubt they're doing nothing for the next fest

[quaint sphinx]

or early November

[humble bloom]

The pain and death sound effects

[devout talon]

Ah

[quaint sphinx]

what about the begging ones

who does that

[humble bloom]

Ivan the art director

[quaint sphinx]

ah

[devout talon]

Who doesn the Ragamufin

[humble bloom]

Hey it’s me Easter. Im Here to ask you about gurgling and screaming

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-spongebob-squarepants-wow-mindblown-gif-13169052

[humble bloom]

Me

[lapis marsh]

"kepon we need some more voice lines time to stab you in the throat again"

[devout talon]

*Casualy hits with a stim after

[humble bloom]

I actually forced the gurgling on them by volunteering it before they got an investor.
So now they're stuck with me.

[devout talon]

Hell be okay

[lapis marsh]

just making gurgling noises until they hired you

[devout talon]

Thats um

[lapis marsh]

tf????

[humble bloom]

It was rather immediate, because I was the only one.

Memory holed.forget about it.

[devout talon]

At that point, give up on the sword, just grab his head and slam it against the fence for a bit

Barbarian trait

[barren hare]

So are we going to get early access realease during steam next fest?

[azure mirage]

no

probbably

[naive iron]

Consult the spirits

[barren hare]

Alright

[warped apex]

I threw my buckler like a baseball and he hit it back lol

[restive barn]

all that aurafarming js to lose anyway

[astral rock]

Anyway to get playtest?

[quiet ferry]

Steam

Half Sword

Half Sword is an immersive, physics-based medieval combat simulator that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe.

Release Date

2025

▶ Play video

Pretty sure they renamed it to tech demo so

[spice vessel]

[jolly gorge]

yo can someone translate what they said on #work-in-progress

im kinda slow

[soft osprey]

What

[quiet ferry]

Every Wednesday half sword games appears and drops an asset of soemthing that will be in half sword

[soft osprey]

Youre speaking English

[quiet ferry]

They aren’t doing that anymore because early access is very soon

[torpid lion]

Fatal Error is still the hardest enemy to beat

change my mind

[quiet ferry]

There is

A CRAZY way to beat it

[astral rock]

The demo is not the same as what others have

[quiet ferry]

Turn off blood

[astral rock]

They got rid of it but I’ve heard you can install .exe file version of playtest onto steam

[quiet ferry]

⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️

[astral rock]

Does anyone know how

[quiet ferry]

Uhhh

[astral rock]

Its literally only the void

That’s it

[quiet ferry]

Idk I’m big dumb

[spice vessel]

u mean the first version of half sword

[quiet ferry]

I guess they like

[spice vessel]

before demo

[torpid lion]

the original playtest i guess

[quiet ferry]

Removed the playtest???????

I got no clu

[spice vessel]

why don,t u just play abyss

[torpid lion]

Yea they removed it when the demo "released"

[astral rock]

Because I would like to add armor and fight bots and shit instead of just scavaging for random shit

I wish they didn’t get rid of playtest

[spice vessel]

bruv what

[quiet ferry]

Pprobably cause early access soon

And

[torpid lion]

Isnt abyss exactly that?

[spice vessel]

yea

[quiet ferry]

They want people to buy that

[spice vessel]

abyss bro

[astral rock]

Abyss you spawn naked and find random weapons instead of things I’ve seen where you can customize weapons and stuff and add bits to fight

[quiet ferry]

Well
You scavenge and fight other bots in the abyss so

[astral rock]

You can’t do that on demo

[torpid lion]

You can

[soft osprey]

Free play mode + halfsword enhancer mod + loadout selector mod

[spice vessel]

you can install mod ig

[spice vessel]

exactly

[quiet ferry]

True

[regal igloo]

thiss

[soft osprey]

If you have the old playtest files(never uninstalled it when it merged with the demo) you can launch it through the exe in the files. Beyond that, Youre out of luck as distributing it is not allowed. Granted we can’t stop people behind closed doors but not publicly

[regal igloo]

the crashing in the baron fight is so fucking annoying

and disbalingblood and gore feels lik im doing no damage

[quiet ferry]

It’s just a blood problem

Not a gore problem

Well

Mostly a blood problem

[regal igloo]

but i'm saying disabling blood

does it reducee damage given/takeen

[soft osprey]

It certainly makes it a bit harder to see how much damage there is but realistically.. it doesn’t matter showing or not, because either way you’ll keep swinging until you win

[soft osprey]

No

Gore affects ease of dismemberment though so if you lowered that

Then yes Youre doing less damage

[near nymph]

How i can have the play test

[soft osprey]

Download the demo on steam or epic games store

[worn citrus]

so errmmm. I have center crosshair on but I dont see it..

[naive holly]

Tis broken in the new demo

Doesn't work

Unfortunately

[austere salmon]

@naive holly right myrmidon is stubborn and changing its artillery screws its drones for some fucken reason, BUT the pilum works

[worn citrus]

😭

[naive holly]

Yo thats sick

Bzzzrrrtzzt

[austere salmon]

so now instead of a t2 railgun and a piledriver, the pilum now wields a heavy penetrator cannon and a thunderous rifle

[austere salmon]

i didnt like its basic ass railgun so i cranked it up to a heavy, single shot penetrator cannon

now it fires slower but fires a heavy fucken orb of steel that penetrates and does huge damage

[acoustic stirrup]

me when the

[naive holly]

This is better

[tiny nacelle]

Hi, everyone. I'm confused.
What's Half Sword project supposed to be? I thought it was just a medieval tournament concept, is it more than that?

[austere salmon]

nah its just a funny arena game

[austere salmon]

oh his jaw is gone

[naive holly]

As of right now its just an arena type sandbox with a progression mode, and a roguelite mode.

This is just a demo and not representative of the final gameplay loop. More a glimpse into the game's features.

We dont know what its going to look like on actuality

[tiny nacelle]

The WIP stuff they're showing seems far more complex than what the demo offers.

[austere salmon]

check this one out

[naive holly]

Lots of good stuff

[naive holly]

I raise you

[tiny nacelle]

Hope there are courtesans as well.

[austere salmon]

you like stabbing, figured that was a solid thrust, up to the hilt

[naive holly]

Out of pocket but I see you lol

[naive holly]

Its true, that stab is brutal af

[austere salmon]

right in the gob too

[naive holly]

Still my favorite stab to date I think

Or this one

[austere salmon]

beautiful impale

god did i ever show you the win i got that looked like dark souls style environmental storytelling?

[keen summit]

hi

[warped apex]

I like the camera mode

[austere salmon]

think i got em

[soft drift]

wtf could have possibly happened😭

[acoustic stirrup]

nevada

[narrow hatch]

why when im fighting the scythe boss he can hook it around me and tug on me a little bit and i get bisected but sometimes i fully thrust in someone it doesnt even go in?

[soft drift]

god the barons polarm sucks ass

[humble bloom]

There's several factors involved, sometimes errors occur in calculations.

[narrow hatch]

also what the fuck is this

[upbeat oasis]

will there be not split screen?

like

multiplayer online

not lan or somesort

[naive holly]

Only splitscreen

[upbeat oasis]

:C

[naive holly]

But I think you will be able to use steam remote play to 1v1 friends online

[shell bronze]

back on half sworde

too much fodder !

[upbeat oasis]

so whenever the splitscreen things happen, can we get a tutorial on how we're going to do it the thing

[tiny nacelle]

What's the ideal DPI for the mouse in combats?
I noticed that on my 4k display when I play at 2k windowed mode, the blows are far stronger and lethal. even in fist fights

[vapid hull]

fast usually works

[neat crow]

A peace offering

[shell bronze]

what a messy fight

[wind charm]

moments before

[neat crow]

lmao

I tried to take a shot with the shadow splitting the body and the head but the corpse despawned :/

[naive holly]

1600 dpi is what I use

[neat crow]

selfie

[shell bronze]

dishonorable conduct

[naive holly]

Did I post this already

Yall

Gnarls Barkley

[tiny nacelle]

what res?

[neat crow]

your parrying game is nuts

[naive holly]

1080 lol

[warped apex]

Thoughts on this head bash?

[naive holly]

Fpv master here

Ive been using fpv lately

[warped apex]

I am in love with bashing people on the fence

[naive holly]

Third feels funky mow

[warped apex]

Good

Very good

[neat crow]

relatable

[warped apex]

@naive holly now learn tricks

[shell bronze]

this sucks icl

feint me again i dare you

[vapid hull]

lmfao I caught him

[vapid hull]

ignore the whiff

[pearl zinc]

the joker

[naive holly]

Are you the dude who posts the horrifyingly insane fpv compilations on reddit

Because holy shit

[timber pilot]

y'all ever modify the enemy willie to match your outfit for an epic duel

[naive holly]

Sounds like a skill issue brah

[shell bronze]

me when i dislike excessive camera wobble that does not account for the natural stabilization the human eyes provide

[naive holly]

Yk im just giving you shit lol

[pearl zinc]

hes now moaning

[naive holly]

AND JESUSSS WEPT

This is for you qqq

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze i hate how this worked

[shell bronze]

i mean a bind is a bind

[urban finch]

thats me when after trying to drive after 7 pints

[atomic stump]

yeah it should not have worked

[atomic stump]

😩

[pearl zinc]

three long candle sticks in one round

[pearl zinc]

imma try beat the baron like this

bro i died cuz i got cut in the hand

just a minor cooking accident

ok the then i got my head split down by an axe

ok what

if u zoom in

ok i cant cuz i deid

died

but if u zoom in on the dude u can see i cut his bottom jaw with an axe

and hes just chilling

[shell bronze]

bro plays on minimum npc damage and expects them to die to anything but full stabs and decapitation

[timber pilot]

my brother in christ you put yourself into this situation

[pearl zinc]

i literally somehow sliced someone's stomach in half in the first part which is how i got the axe

[pearl zinc]

so i expected more out of an axe

[timber pilot]

you turned the axe into a foam weapon with the damage settings

[pearl zinc]

what about the cleaver or whatever it is

[timber pilot]

you turned it into a lightsaber because you set the damage for yourself to max

[pearl zinc]

i didnt

i kept it as minimum

[timber pilot]

these are literally your settings

[pearl zinc]

anyways imma watch yt cuz im bored\

[warped grotto]

bro is like 14

[timber pilot]

damage to player is max
damage to npc is lowest

[pearl zinc]

yeah ik

the cleaver was strong but the axe wasnt

i was just pointing that out;-;

[timber pilot]

because you made the willies nigh immune to damage?

[warped grotto]

He can't explain it to you any simpler than your sliders lol

If you can't understand that, that's on you

[pearl zinc]

bro

ik

[warped grotto]

Bro.

Then

?

[pearl zinc]

i made it hard

[warped grotto]

Pause

[pearl zinc]

but the cleaver was still strong

[pearl zinc]

ok bro

[timber pilot]

so why are you complaining that they are harder to fight and easier for you to die

[pearl zinc]

its all im tryna point out man

[warped grotto]

Phrasing.. Anyways, enemy wield weapon = instakill gorefest

you wield weapon = foam prop

sliders

[pearl zinc]

ye

cleaver still strong tho

[warped grotto]

<_<

[pearl zinc]

thats what ive been saying

[timber pilot]

let it be known that a cleaver is used to butcher animals

[pearl zinc]

like its not meant to be strong

[timber pilot]

it is highly expected for it to butcher humans too

[warped grotto]

So like okay

what are you wanting from us? Honestly

Cause at this point I don't get what you're trying to like... your end point

[pearl zinc]

i was just sending shit bro

[warped grotto]

...kay

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze completely unnecessary but really funny

[shell bronze]

honestly i don't be comboing people unless they're fodder or pmo

[atomic stump]

i combo bc its fun

[atomic stump]

do you do this shit lmao

[timber pilot]

the lamp merchant

[keen summit]

hi im new on the game

i been playing and currently im on man at arms

[shell bronze]

used to until it got played out

[atomic stump]

fair

[shell bronze]

same reason why i don't go for combos most of the time

[keen summit]

can someone recommend me a weapon?

[atomic stump]

two handed axe

[shell bronze]

ending the duel with one or two decisive strikes and not partaking in overkill is the honorable way

[shell bronze]

big axe or long axe

[naive holly]

Lately ive been hitting em with the rondel

[atomic stump]

im nothing but honorable

[keen summit]

oh thx

[atomic stump]

what if i accidently cut them in half is that honorable

[crisp ivy]

Who is Alla Tedesca (see latest and last WIP)?

[naive holly]

Its Italian meaning "german style"

Idk i googled

[shell bronze]

coup de grace

[shell bronze]

yes

[rocky quest]

when does the game release

[atomic stump]

never

[shell bronze]

never

project canceled

[naive holly]

Its not happening

[rocky quest]

ok

[naive holly]

Sorry

[atomic stump]

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE

[atomic stump]

no in seriousness it is q4 2025

[rocky quest]

oh so like mid october or smth

[atomic stump]

Oct-Dec yeah

[rocky quest]

demo has been really fun

[atomic stump]

YES

[rocky quest]

bro ima try to do a challenge where i can solo everything with fists

[shell bronze]

these words were uttered by many like you before

[rocky quest]

has anyone ever done it?

[naive holly]

Yeppers

Good luck

[shell bronze]

completed it fair and square, i haven't heard of

[rocky quest]

ight

[shell bronze]

attempted? many

[rocky quest]

(also knight gloves count too)

[faint crater]

are you pushing against the enemies sword when there is collision? I feel like whenever I DO get a parry it breaks my block

[shell bronze]

piss baby can't handle a little love tap

[shell bronze]

gotta incorporate a little movement too

[naive holly]

1-2

[faint crater]

omg is that why youre always crouching into and out of a parry

i was wondering if that was just so you had extra time or what

[naive holly]

Standing up is good

For pushing

[shell bronze]

me when i don't take this guy seriously and he still dies

[shell bronze]

the crouching adds that additional bit of coverage because it lowers you and reduces the areas where they can hit you from (legs usually)

[keen summit]

thanks a lot i reache knight

[rocky quest]

any tips on getting more fps in the game

[faint crater]

ah okay

[rocky quest]

am running a shitty pc

[shell bronze]

and also allows you to effectively deflect/semi-dodge higher sweeps

looks cool, works well

[vapid hull]

buying a 5070 worked pretty well for me

[faint crater]

I think that will help the most for me when they do lower attacks. I still haven't been able to hit those away effectively yet. Always seem to miss the clash a tiny bit

[shell bronze]

jackass kicked me

[vapid hull]

in the mean time you can probby just crank the settings all the way down

[rocky quest]

dont got dat kinda scrill

[rocky quest]

alr

[shell bronze]

it's janky to block leg sweeps standing

[vapid hull]

Neither do I

[faint crater]

I'm usually at least in the sprint form

[rocky quest]

ima tone down setting and practice with fists

[shell bronze]

those kendo love taps hit different

[shell bronze]

you can read a lot of leg sweeps/middle to low attacks as they happen

sometimes they feint and you get cut in half if you overcommit but that's part of the game

[faint crater]

Download MSI Afterburner to overclock your gpu

[atomic stump]

quick and painless death

[shell bronze]

this is why you wear neck armor children

[shell bronze]

[atomic stump]

shush

that clip isnt real

[azure mirage]

hello

[keen summit]

i dont wanna play anymore

[soft osprey]

this is actually illegal

[atomic stump]

you HAVE to play forever

[keen summit]

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze two questions, was this painless and HOW THE FUCK

[shell bronze]

gore jank

and probably painless

[soft osprey]

Two answers

Yes and yes

[shell bronze]

a lil scratch never hurt

[atomic stump]

NO

[faint crater]

having a little trouble with enhancer

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze talk about a damn bind

[faint crater]

trying to rebind something cant find where

[atomic stump]

whyatcha trying to rebind

[shell bronze]

that was not no bind

[faint crater]

the key to open the menu

[atomic stump]

oh

[faint crater]

I do not have a insert key

[shell bronze]

that boy screeching in pain unable to fight back

[atomic stump]

LMAO

[lilac nacelle]

You could use this audio as a sample in an EDM remix

[atomic stump]

his mace was in the way tho

[atomic stump]

oh uh

[atomic stump]

doesnt the game open with it open?

[faint crater]

Oh should I close out and reopen

[atomic stump]

yeah

then look through and see if you can find a rebind

[faint crater]

do I always open with the enhancer launcher now?

[atomic stump]

you should if you launch through enchancer

and you change keybind in the settings tab with GUI

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS

@shell bronze BRO

[faint crater]

yeah I found it out thank you so much

[atomic stump]

ofc man!

[shell bronze]

yeah happens when you stab certain spots
they have a secret lawnmower mode

[faint crater]

they dont have the sword i like on the list :(

[atomic stump]

Im surprised i got my sword out of him

[fierce sun]

does anyone know where to find the soundtrack?

or is it just not out anywhere

[naive holly]

@shell bronze this was sweet

faces of true gentlemen

Smoothest decapation ever?

[astral raven]

How do yall practice blocking

[maiden ore]

using slow motion to practice reacting to incoming attacks

[astral raven]

I see

[crude path]

usually your keyboard will have a shortcut for it

for example my old Keychron you'd press Fn+delete

[grave aurora]

you have to practice abt as much as you would to block an actual swing from an actual sword and then you just do it ig

[crude path]

and you could press FN+I+D to toggle the delete key between being insert and delete

[keen summit]

reached knight again

im scared

[atomic stump]

can i give advice

[keen summit]

yes please

[atomic stump]

you can use lower level tiers at knight, use man at arms with the two handed axe, it works best for me

[frigid oracle]

today i learned that repeated blunt attacks to armor cna actually damage the armor

[atomic stump]

then just play it safe, if you think you cant parry or counter attack their attack, bounce back and try again, aint no fault in holding G to give up

[keen summit]

fatal error

[atomic stump]

blood crash

[keen summit]

,im gonna cry

[keen summit]

thx

[keen summit]

disable blood?

[atomic stump]

or lower it

up to you

[keen summit]

ok

[soft osprey]

Lower to reduce crashes, disable to stop them. When you reach ultimate challenge though, I’d recommend turning it off completely

[keen summit]

my progress saved

love god

[azure mirage]

YouTube

Half sword Demo OSTs

there's a playlist

[atomic stump]

let me "speedrun gauntlet rq so i can show you my strat

[keen summit]

boss

[timber pilot]

i just watched this guy get a plancon lodged onto his thigh, kept on fighting, until he looked down and surrendered

looney tunes ass defeat

[frigid oracle]

i love half sword enhancer because it makes willies look like this and still able to be fighting

[keen summit]

i win

im king now

[frigid oracle]

his arm is cleaved through to the BONE and hes still fighting

what a champ

head cut off

still keeping it pushing

what a goat

[azure mirage]

"If you try to move the camera while in first person it looks like this" flashing lights warning

did this happen to anyone else?

he went into first person and the game started to explode pretty much

[atomic stump]

did yo ubeat baron?

[keen summit]

no im going to

[atomic stump]

oki that fight you should do blind first

get a feel

it saves at ultimate i believe

[keen summit]

what

[azure mirage]

remember to turn off blood completely please!!!
Settings - Game - below the Npc
damage sliders click "GORE" - turn off blood completely

[atomic stump]

danya does the game save your progress at ultimate

[azure mirage]

its a MUST

[atomic stump]

like when you get there

[azure mirage]

if you die you appear in ultimate challenge again

die

[atomic stump]

ok

[keen summit]

oh thx

[azure mirage]

so you don't go back to abyss if u die

[frigid oracle]

for me i just turned off spotify

and that did the trick

[timber pilot]

how do you do this without getting a fatal error

[sand herald]

I usually play with my damage to npc set at 50%

Lower blood and gore values in the settings helps as well

[timber pilot]

icic

[keen summit]

bruh i died like 15 times

[azure mirage]

it be like that twan

[acoustic stirrup]

this image explains how i feel every day

[keen summit]

early access comes out tomorrow 6pm est

[wind charm]

Eleven labs voice

[azure mirage]

early access in Q4 2025 (Last 3 months of the year.), no official date known

[timber pilot]

his name is elv en lads

[azure mirage]

"this audio was made by cantina dot com" watermark is needed

[keen summit]

nah

i lost everyting to a game crash

[timber pilot]

if you've already beaten the ultimate challenge, then your gauntlet progress thingimajig resets

[keen summit]

oh

[azure mirage]

[keen summit]

[azure mirage]

[keen summit]

[keen summit]

Overhead strikes

[vital perch]

pretty sure his name is ben dover idk tho

[timber pilot]

that's the other guy

[teal star]

how r u so smooth

[vital perch]

practice

lots of practice

[wraith bolt]

It would be cool if someone could QuickDraw swords like they do in anime

[shell bronze]

already done it

it sucks and is insanely difficult to pull off

[mental kelp]

You can pull it directly into ochs and it looks pretty much exact and goes fully straight but auto parry wil def fuck it up

[shell bronze]

yeah it's actually where prime/first position came from in fencing

[timber pilot]

what y'all know about the lamp method

[split brook]

I rarely ever look at half sword related content or the discord or anything and I'm really glad I started cause what in peaks name am I looking at

[dark folio]

Uh oh

[mint barn]

Anyone know how much this game is going to cost when it comes out?

[dark folio]

I imagine it costing 25 euros

[mint barn]

That’s like what 50AUD?

My guess is the range would be between 30 - 60AUD

[neon inlet]

When ds realse

[summer moon]

Is there a way I can gain access to play test full game? Only had the demo and love it

[brittle robin]

80 doller

[dark folio]

The full game aint even devoloped yet💔

[dark folio]

Q4 this year

[crude path]

What are your settings for the mod lol

[summer moon]

I know I know but I saw you could apply for a play test access?

[crude path]

That was awhile ago

[summer moon]

I’m late to this party

[crude path]

There were 2 versions, the demo (abyss) and the play test (arena, no blood)

Now they're one game

(the current steam demo)

[summer moon]

Yes ive played and completed the arena one, very fun

[dark folio]

That was a while ago i think

[crude path]

That's all there is, there's no other version anymore

Full game isn't out yet and what used to be the play test is now the steam demo

[summer moon]

This is sad news, I look forward to further updates, excited to play more

[crude path]

And the Abyss mode in the steam demo is the old steam demo

[summer moon]

I have on steam yes

[crude path]

(there's also the old itch.io version which is pretty cool, it has a bunch of arenas and weapon/enemy spawning options but the tech in it is pretty outdated and buggy)

I don't even know if that version still exists tbh

[dark folio]

[restive barn]

[grizzled palm]

Absolutely beautiful!

[soft yoke]

[soft yoke]

[grizzled palm]

as you can see, inside the top is hollow, so we will give it a filling

[soft yoke]

send me the recipe later

buh-bye

[grizzled palm]

Sir Harry the Handsome Butcher!

[dark folio]

Yummy

[grizzled palm]

and for the next meal, we will be making a pasta

[dark folio]

Sounds good

[grizzled palm]

first, we make the pasta noodle and the sauce

if you kept the willie alive through out the process, the taste would be fantastic!

[dark folio]

Good to know

[grizzled palm]

here as a picture of me failing to do so, but dont worry! dead willies is eaiser to make!

some willies have a tough shell, so we have to tenderize it with a good axing and hammering

[grizzled palm]

finnished up by removing the head, that will be the deser and volia!

[dark folio]

Rules vro

[proven spoke]

My bad big man

[grizzled palm]

willies pasta (extra crunchy) with a side a authentic sauce

[dark folio]

Tasty

[grizzled palm]

given with a tenderizer to make it go down eaiser

Enjoy!

[grizzled palm]

nnext up, we are making willies BBQ on a stick

[spiral hound]

is it only me

or do weapons seem 10x sharper when wielded by bosses?

like, a slight tap is enough to cut you in half vertically 😭

[grizzled palm]

First, you remove the leg as usual (leave the meaty bit for the skewer
The leg of this willies is extra tough so we have to use the axe to tenderize and break it
second, you poke out the eye of the willies and then skewer the face

[restive barn]

I MISSED

[wind charm]

Sheathe parry

max

[loud isle]

Smooth pole axe moves

[calm kelp]

what is this game suppose to be in the end product?

[rigid stirrup]

physics based medieval combat from 1450-1470

[balmy kernel]

I haven’t gotten past the 4th area in gauntlet but this game is so fun I already have 10 hours just messing with the physics and aura farming

[mental phoenix]

omg, I was finally on a roll again on the ultimate challenge, but I had forgotten to turn the blood off 😭

[rustic oxide]

guys can anyone help me i am bugged when i try to play the gauntlet mode and chose beggar it makes me fight the knight idk if anyone can help me /and i have beat the knight and i can play the ultimate challenge but i want to restart but cant

[reef folio]

Do you use a graphics mod or something?

[mental phoenix]

I finally beat the ultimate challenge 😄

[dark folio]

Quarter spear

[dark folio]

Good job

[dark folio]

Now do short bilhook only challenge

[wind charm]

I made a custom preset on reshade

[reef folio]

Oh okay

[warped apex]

I am slowly getting better on my new pc

[karmic axle]

does sensitivity play any role in this game?

[warped apex]

yes

[karmic axle]

so I should increase sens so swing faster?

[karmic axle]

my character swing so slow

[sleek gull]

What is your in game sensitivity set to, and what is your mouse's DPI set to?

I set mine to

[karmic axle]

I got middel ingame and 500 dpi

1800 is crazy high

[sleek gull]

Bump up your DPI if your mouse can do that. I suggest going to 1,000. Then if you want more, bump it up by increments of 200

My mouse maxes out at 26,000. 1,800 isn't really all that high.

I do have a 2k monitor though, so it will depend on your resolution.

[karmic axle]

1440p

even though I drag mouse from one corner to other the character swing in slowmo

[sleek gull]

Does your mouse allow you to set your DPI? Or is it locked at 500?

[karmic axle]

i can change

its razer

[sleek gull]

Give it a shot. Try 1,000

[karmic axle]

Also I wonder how i am supposed to hold the spear straight forward

[sleek gull]

I have a corsair set up. So I can make profiles. I have two for Half Sword. 1 for Long Sword, and 1 for Buckler/One Handed.

[karmic axle]

I double click but it always get pointed to the right

[restive barn]

VIDEO LOOK AT VIDEO

[wind charm]

i like halfsword!1

[karmic axle]

is the game supposed to be that hard

[sleek gull]

For thrusting, I use Alt. I dislike the double click as it locks you in until you click again. Those short moments can be dangerous.

[karmic axle]

is this game gonna have multiplayer

[signal wedge]

Hey buddy I'm gonna need you to change your pfp

[restive barn]

no politics

[signal wedge]

No politics is a rule we take seriously here and that includes pfp's

[restive barn]

bcz politics spark debate

and drama

[karmic axle]

bruh, okay

[signal wedge]

Sorry mate

[dark folio]

Hold alt

[sleek gull]

It will have Local Split Screen, which can be played with Parsec or Steam Share Play. But it will not be a hosted matchmaking system. Maybe one day in the future, but currently no plans or timeline.
