This update puts the lunge back when you swing a sword or another swinging weapon. However, the timing is different: you lunge forward when the weapon swings forward, and the effect is slightly lessened.
The new setting is still experimental. We're looking for a way that make swinging weapons usable, whilst not making the combat boring.
Let us know if you think we succeeded.
Also as a bonus feature, myst producing Blue Bloats might pop up now and then.
