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!
LOWER THE GATES!
