Half Sword Devlog 00 - Active Ragdoll, Medieval Armor, Kickstarter

[@UVB-76_Enjoyer]

This game has serious potential, I NEVER would've expected to put 50+ hours into a demo lol

[@Timurisoverhere]

Same, even with so little content, it shines even at that

[@CantTouchDizz]

Reminds me of being a kid and playing some of the first games I ever played on PS2 through demo disks. Some of the best video game fun I have had in years!

[@jirikrajak]

Guys you're absolutely great... You have my support and i swear i try to be the first one who buy this game when it's out... I just download it and played 5 hours straight... I would continue if i do not go to work another day... :D This will be the best medieval combat game ever... Can't wait..

[@user-pn7wq9cl1g]

I downloaded your game. I tried it. I thought it was a fun little melee combat game inspired by QWOP. I thought the Death Scythe Dude was the final boss, and that his weapon was chosen for its cheese level. Then I realized just how much thought was put into the way your inactive hand "helps" your main hand perform HEMA techniques, like when you go both hands limp into right hand thrustmode after initiating a strike to control your hips for a strong, shallow attack, or switch from left to right as your weapon connects for a power swing. Then I parried Death Scythe Dude's face in with Chivalry II-like finesse. Then I found a shortsword, and actually chambered the next AI who tried me. As someone who trains formally in German long sword, and trains informally in shaolinquan weaponry, this game is the closest I have come to feeling like I am sparring with someone at the guild! I clicked this video in the hopes that you devs would see this comment. Your studio is precious and must be protected at all costs. God fucking speed. I look forward to buying your game for all of my friends and booting up a parsec server the attosecond you drop Duel mode.

Been playing the demo and I can honestly flat out say that I’m thrilled to have found a gem of a game like this. There’s so much potential for it, and I’m excited to see this game grow in the future!

[@RandomMadnessChannel]

Great vid guys, can't wait for the new build!

[@monstruolio]

Valentin noticed the game!

[@RandomMadnessChannel]

@@monstruolio I interviewed the devs twice on the channel

[@gavins3492]

I will keep an eye out for the update, which I hope is going to be this. It will be epic to see knights vs. knights npc wars. It. Will. Be..... AWESOME.

[@Christopher-uo5cf]

Half Sword Team. I never saw a Small Team, with a Game with such Insane Potential. Stay Small, and keep on your current work, you guys will master everything, big studios didnt even could.

Why of course GHM is working on this... whelp, I know where my money is going now.

[@AdamgamesCZ]

Can't wait for the new update :)

[@LaBruteIntrepide]

I'm very happy to see that a small indie studio can create such a great game. I believe it has huge potential! I see so many possibilities in it, and I can't wait to see what's next! Thank you for bringing fresh ideas to the medieval genre

[@xeus1]

best game ever i swear this game will explode if a big streamer or youtuber find out. Hope the potential seen love u guys.

[@brandonr2188]

an MMO with this style of simulation would be absolutely incredible

[@FeDeRaTTay]

Amazing how far it's gone since a cool video of yellow dudes on Twitter

[@beantheboy]

this game is perfect it is the peak

[@josephinefranke8623]

Half Sword devs invented peak

[@ZomboJoe]

Demo was very fun, felt like Exanima with vastly improved controls and camera.

[@danielwhitman2255]

Bro it was great but the controls were worse

[@chuckEcheddarcheese]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[@GLASSHEAD]

legends, such a amazing demo so excited!!!!!

[@jadeo2]

respect!

[@kefefaki]

you guys have been a huge inspiration to me as a game developer! That dedicated video about physics control is something that i would definitely like to see.

[@EdnovStormbrewer]

I love the dedication the devs put in to this game. this seems like a legit kickstarter project that's gaining popularity. Jaboody Dubs stream brought me here

[@Vitindograu780]

I'm sure this will be the best medieval game in the world

[@vivious_]

game is shaping up very nicely!!!

[@doctorhipno]

Guys! I’ve been playing the demo on steam for about 5 hours now, I can’t stop! The combat is amazing, it looks amazing, It’s really really good! I don’t think I have ever been this hyped for a game! Keep doing what your doing and I cannot wait for the final build!

[@droxi1059]

Come here from the playtest, stellar stuff! Cant wait for more

[@91tears94]

Absolutely frickin amazing!!! Guys, please do more of these. Honestly, never expected ya'll to release a devlog, especially one with this level of quality. It was very interesting to look at, and the only gripe i have with it is that its too short haha. Keep it up fellas!

[@Yujnaya_Morjlandiya]

Guys, I played the demo version for about 6 hours and I'll tell you, it's just amazing! As soon as the game is released in full, I will definitely purchase it. Good luck to you!

[@rekware9320]

I loce this game. Keep it up. Your making something really unique. Cant wait for full release. I'll be buying it day one.

[@Matt-to3ri]

1:24 Also very excited lol

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

Its a good balance of Medieval combat accuracy and ragdoll comedy, looks really cool

[@Whyisthismansonotsigma]

Thank you for letting me test play! I can't wait for more updates.

[@DRXtacgame]

This game is such a refreshment nothing will be like this if you guys keep it up its absolutely amazing and I am allready sweating in the playtest ❤❤😂😂

[@STFwrinkle]

HALF SWORD YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@gtagmodderz]

cant wait for the full release!!! games got a lot of potential.

[@nazshev]

This is game changer. No other games except Exanima did this and you just did it on a complete different level. Other games gonna start copying you!

[@Dryuku]

I just played the demo, really satisfying gameplay ! As a big fan of exanima i'm really happy to see other people trying to make similar games. Good luck with the developement and dont make us wait too much ^^ !

[@urstepdaddd]

so awesone guys i have every version on my PC. you guys have a great vision. some kind of story mode or monster battles would be AMAZING

[@TheCompleteMental]

That metal looks so good. I'm glad to see a dedication to accuracy, especially since you guys pull it off so incredibly and it adds a very unique style, counterintuitively.

[@TonyPort]

The game is awesome! Thank you! Looking forward for release

[@Danger_N00dle]

The games looks both fun and a bit derpy which may lead to hilarious moments I wish you good luck! I seriously hope this will be mod friendly as it typically helps creating a strong community backing it up.

[@TehHamburglar365]

Love the demo! I think you guys really have something here. I look forward to seeing where it goes!

[@oddjarb]

I cant stop playing the 0.3 demo. This is so much fuggin fun

[@Timurisoverhere]

If the multiplayer option is ever brought to the table by developers, its gonna be an atomic hit to say the least, something of a Mordhau/Chivalry successor, perhaps on a smaller scale though.

[@memeingfulSkits]

Just wanted to say this game has HUGE potential. I've downloaded the demo and in my opinion, it is more fun then Hellish Quart. Keep going I am really looking forward to a finished game!

[@sal6695]

Love your guy's game, it feels so real, and though its silly it also very immersive and sometimes feels badass as hell!

[@syntax_3rr0r]

HECK YES

[@gabridntdnt9071]

great vid!!! can't wait for the more deep video about physic

[@ledionosmani]

Dude thsi has to be the best game ive ever seen, I just requested playtest I cant wait

[@mr_kwkd]

I stumbled upon this game not too long ago and I’m glad to hear there was some inspiration from exanima because it made me think of it right away, looking great!!

[@chrisivan_yt]

Hey I beat the demo and it was super tough but so much fun :-) You guys earned a long time supporter for sure! This is just such a cool concept and I love the wobbly knights! A full game experience would be to die for haha

[@AmKindaMad]

I've been playing this game a lot these days and it's so fun. Literally, stayed all night playing it hahahah

[@clintcollins8966]

I'll just say I'm in love with your game. Keep up the great work. Try to put in a report a bug feature would be great.

[@thereyplays]

Hello from Russia. Played both versions of the game both versions very much liked.I will be very happy if the release will be not only duels but also a history mode (like the version in steam at the moment). You are the best! Привет из России. Поиграл в обе версии игры обе версии очень понравились.Я буду очень рад если в релизе будут не только дуэли но и режим истории (как версия в стиме на текущий момент). Вы лучшие! 🇷🇺

[@KnivesFrank]

I play games like chivalry 2 like its my religion lol i can even imagine how fun this game will be in future this demo is the only demo iv been obsessed with ever and see my self play over and over again .the level of death detail u guys have put into the game is truly amazing the sence of real is 1000% there not only can i chop people into little pieces and rip out thier intestines and beat them with their own organs and body parts their vocal lines and suffering and pain really stands out to me. im gona send this clip to all my mates i wana support u guys full on i love what you are doing keep up the awesome work and again thank you so much for the free demo its truly so much fun and its only 1.5gb big but they got bosses and the danger increases after killing a boss till u eventually beat the final boss and when u do win they dont force u back to the start u can keep fighting till you die i love i have allot more positive things to say but if i do im gona have to write a book on how much i love this game XD

[@zapagoogas]

Excellent game you guys have here. Have poured many hours into the demo so far. Would absolutely love an explanation for the system behind the balancing active ragdolls. Best i've seen so far outside of proprietary technology.

[@memeconnect4489]

[@CosmicComputer]

Just checking back to see if you guys would still be willing to do the physics control active ragdoll overview video 🙏

[@OGharambelivesgaming]

Bruh I got nearly 10 hours already, love the gore, grew up with manhunt and some other stuff but the npc reaction is really sicknecking and devastating, will try to help kickstarter for sure given the oportunity
