Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2025.12.06.0
NEW:
- New default option: the muscles in the right arm are now dynamically weakened in the active frames and gradually strengthened in the recovery phase during cut attacks. Additionally, in the moment of swords clashing, both fighters' wrist muscles go to 0 for a split second. This should make the moment of block or hit 100% physics driven, and not just 50-70%, as before. This works best with the "Precise" collision setting. You can turn this OFF in Options if you like.
- New info panel: If you play the game on Steam Deck, a panel will show in the Graphics Options menu that informs how to set up your Steam Deck hardware for the game to run on your display as smoothly as possible
TWEAK:
- Blade collision mode Precise is now the default, because more physics on collision rarely results in "sticky blades" error
- Maximum physics simulation angular speed increased
- Animation variables pass to fine tune active frames range - now necessary because weakening of arm muscles depends on this
FIX:
- Kalkstein: fixed a few animations with rotating left hand, added missing leg switch notifies in in-place attack impact animations
- Animation variables pass to make sure back edge cuts are marked properly
- Numerous small fixes
OPTIMIZATION:
- Watermill arena: rocks and grass instantiation fix, works properly now
- Meadow arena: rocks and grass instantiation fix, works properly now
NOTE:
You can change the physics collisions options to ones you prefer, including turning off the new changes in the Gameplay Options menu.
