Complete Story of Felvidek

[@mgedecim8tors]

One thing I should clarify- the hussites depicted in the game are the extremists that emerged after Hus’s execution. Every religion has their leaves that go a bit wild.

[@robertkalinic335]

Was that supposed to be really bad history lesson or its just what happens in the game, you got me so confused. Keep pile of shit under your highest window just in case.

[@mgedecim8tors]

@@robertkalinic335 what happens in game

[@redanthalas8830]

Oh no, ALL of the Hussites were extremist protestants, the whole point of the religion was breaking with catholic traditions and defending against the Czechs that remained catholic and the later HRE crusades. Ultrakviste part of the movement later joined the catholics against other Hussites, when they were promised freedom of religion. It's a complex topic and it's not really possible to talk about it without extensive research. Raiding Hungarians and other neighbourgs was not motivated by the religion, but it's simply what people did to enemies.

The hussites irl actually did win in the end. They forced the pope to adopt their reform and the pope actually praised jan hus and his peoples moral integrity. The moderates who were happy with getting everything they wanted then went to help the catholics beat the extremists who wanted to destroy the church itself.

[@mgedecim8tors]

Yeah, that end part is what I interpreted the hussites in game as, the extremists, not the whole.

[@kamikazoo6599]

@@mgedecim8tors Well the game takes place after the hussite wars. The hussites in the game are hussite merceneries led by Jan Jiskra who was send there by queen Elizabeth of Luxemburg to take care of her estates after she fled Hungary (or atleast according to wikipedia)

So nobody actually gets that "qahwah" is an old name for coffee?

[@ledzep215]

Id argue Hussites were more of a pseudo-protestant group rather than actually Roman Catholic but great video either way. Digging the focus on indie games :3

[@justinwang3294]

Especially when they leaned more heavily into millennial themes than the Catholic Church ever did since it advocated an overthrow of social order on any basis of iniquity, be it anything personal or otherwise.

[@rafaelbalsan4512]

They were proto-protestants in a way.

[@kloa4219]

1:45 Yeah, there was a lot of infighting back then. There's some who want to return to that era too lol

[@redanthalas8830]

The Hussites were early protestants and the situation was way more complicated. Also, it's the 15th century, not 14th.

All history from this region for all time is like "They continued to fight each other after a shaky, short lived peace." Minor Catholic victory.

[@holextv5595]

2:15 nope the victory was for moderate hussites not a holy Roman empire, moderate Hussites was just a another hussite clan wich defeated radical Hussites, the actual defeat of Hussite was in 1620. But the church itself survive with Moravian Church.

Excellent video here! I felt the summary was pretty concise alongside the enjoyable commentary on your part. One thing I'd like to point out is the music you used.

I still haven't found all the secrets documented. I wonder if going back to the tower before the final fight does anything. That second sword has to be used somehow. And I totally missed the thief side quest because I used dynamite to clear the ambush. I wonder if the siege on the village can be won on your own if you have enough items, I made it to 4 battles before I ran out of tool replenishments. I never understood why I'd waste a turn blocking if it didn't do anything afaik other than carry on a temporary buff for the next turn? I felt underwhelmed like I played through well enough that there weren't many hooks and that everything pretty much played out okay, except for the daughter getting shot.

[@jurtheorc8117]

Talking about random indie games can help a lot. Stuff like the Zeno Clash series (prequel Clash: Artifacts of Chaos came out in 2023), Cookie Cutter, No Straight Roads, Wuppo, Harold Halibut, Soulstice, Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip, My Familiair, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Genokids, Kings of Hell, Tohu, anything by Amanita Design, Zoink! and Moonhood Studio... there's so much out there deserving to be more known. Regardless of how tough it is to actually get out word of all those.

[@mgedecim8tors]

@@jurtheorc8117 I’ll unironically look through these and see if any hold my attention.

[@jurtheorc8117]

@@mgedecim8tors That makes me very glad and delighted to hear! No promises you'll like every one of them, let alone love them, (i don't know your specific tastes), but I hope you'll walk away from these games or remember them with a positive lasting impact and can spread word on them to people who are interested. Soulstice is one of my personal favourites and a good newcomer in the hack-and-slash/character action (Darksiders, DMC, Bayonetta-type stuff) genre, but i've seen people say that either the middle or the beginning drags on, a central mechanic is rather divisive, and the camera... isn't as optimal as it could be. But still, for a newcomer in a genre so little-catered to these days, it does a lot of good stuff, has a cool world with fairly extensive lore and nice writing, and moment-to-moment gameplay does *feel* good with a boatload of different enemy types and weapons. I'm saying this all because part of me is nervous that this may be the game you'll dip from the soonest, which i assume from... pretty much nothing, but nonetheless I hope you may spread word of that one. Perhaps to friends that are fan of the genre. The Zeno Clash series will probably more easily hold one's attention for how weird the art direction is. And the protagonist of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos specifically is uncannily weird and ugly and I love him. Cookie Cutter was also a favourite. It's a solid game as is that took a long time to make. The lead dev is quick on the draw in asking for criticism/mentions of bugs to make the base game as technically solid as can be, and loves to share ideas on twitter. He has stated his desire to further build up the base game, with stuff like new NPCs, quests, enemies, areas, story beats, bosses, and weapons. The most recent weapon idea he teased was a robot gimp that gets used like a whip, a shield and a skipping rope. (Weapons so far include a metal fist, a chainsaw, an electric guitar and two others). Like i said, i do hope you'll find them all interesting or at least look back on them all positively after looking into them. Have a good one and take care.

[@janaussiger4111]

The game is so much more fun in the Slovakian language (I'm not a Slovák myself, fortunately) as there are many dialect variants being used, as the area the game is set in was a huge melting pot of languages and faiths. The english version tries but it can't really get there.
