So far this game is fun except...

everything to do with swinging the weapons around. The weapons just do not go where I expect them, sometimes the swing does damage and sometimes it just changes the side I hold the weapon. Swinging left and right in the air feels and looks okay, but overheads never come out correctly for me, thrusting feels sluggish and inaccurate. Honestly, I could chalk a lot of this up to me just being bad at it, but the tutorial isn't exactly informative, and explains absolutely nothing about the nuances of weapon co...

Blood update is here!

22 Nov

Hello Half Sworders,

Soon has finally come! And with it we bring you the first major update for the Half Sword Playtest!

This update has more small and big changes than we can remember but here is a rough list:

COMBAT SYSTEM

Added Kicking! (Space Bar)
Tweaked Parrying! Now you have more control over it
Nerfed blunt damage and boosted armor defense against it
Improved grip switching! Now you will not do One Punch Man punch every time you grab your weapon... not every time...

GAME

Added practice dummy! Perfect for sharpening your skills before you face human opponents (when ingame, hold the G key to skip this part).
Tweaked physics, as we always do.

SOUND

Added new juicy slashing and crushing sounds!

and as the pinnacle of this update...

BLOOD AND GORE

Added new blood particles (WIP)
Added new blood effects including blood running down from the wounds
Blood pooling is back!
Armor and clothing damage!
Bruises!
Internal organs!
And finally.. first time since 2013 (might be untrue)... DYNAMIC SLICING!!!

Yes Yes! You can split em wide open wherever you slice ! And As many times as you want!
Please note: this is very WIP!!!!

This system is still very much work in progress and is not stable yet. You WILL encounter lots of bugs with it.. duplicated bodies, slices not appearing, etc...
We are actively working on this system to bring the best slicing since Metal Gear Rising to our game and we promise that eventually, it will work properly (:

We will be adding gore and blood settings soon - now you are free to enjoy a default brutality (:

We are aware of numerous bugs and issues you may experience in this update and we will be releasing fixes for them constantly in nearest future...
If you encounter any... abnormalities... please report them on our official Discord - you can find the link in-game.

Thanks for your continued support!

Is MP in games like these even technically possible?

With all the physics it seems undoable

Kicking is too OP

You can legit defeat someone just by spamming kick. I think there should be a cooldown and make you more exhausted between kicks since it’s physically exhausting irl doing it all the time
