Hellish Quart - Better FPP Camera | Fencing Game

Add Hellish Quart to your Wish List on Steam (Early Access):
store.steampow...
Note: FPP mode is not replacing the normal, side game view. This is just an additional option, like in Bushido Blade 2.
------------
Hellish Quart is a fighting game about sword dueling, in which the blades really clash using physics, and the characters use motion captured fencing techniques. Play as one of many 17th century warriors and use sabers, rapiers, broadswords and many other blades in single player campaign, arcade, or local multiplayer with friends.

This is going to revolutionize sword fighting games. First it was Mount and blades directional attack and block now it will be this.

[@SuperZabojca]

Don't think so, this is not the first game like this, Kingdom Come was also kinda good for 1v1. Hellish Quart is similar to Bushido Blade. 1v2, big battles etc. Mount and Blade has the upper hand, because you can freely change between opponents, game mechanics really suit fighting more than one. You can't just put Hellish Quart mechanics there and expect it to work. Game is made for duels. I think the only possibilty to go next level is VR. Edit. Imagine Blade and Sorcery as a multiplayer game.

@@The_Marlo it's mean that I have two different eyes, in my case left is perfectly healthy 0.0 but right one have some issue. I don't remember is my right eye + or - but it's not much something between 1.2-1.5 So when I see something I see it perfectly sharp because my dominat eye is 0.0 but the point is that I have dominat eye, so I see mainly with one eye therefore I shouldn't see 3D space in way that healthy pepole do. I don't know is that true tho. Maybe in my case the difference is not that significant, but I can't really say, because I can't compare my vision to somebodies else vision on my own. If you don't have problem with eyes you can cover one and see the world in way I probably see it.

[@lluiscavalcanticalvo1192]

Looking so much better than the previos version! (looks likeyou follow exacly the suggestions I made in last vide, but I am not going to pretend to take credit for that XD). The camera moves much smoother and with intent, not as shaky as before, and the arm/shoulder seems more steady, not clipping as much as well. I would say judging depth is still a question mark, although maybe this changes when actually playing the game. There are a couple things I noticed, though: - Your shadow does not have a head. This is probably due to the FP model missing the head f just collapsing it to prevent it obstructing the view. The shadow reveals the trick, and it needs a better solution. Maybe you can have a shader with just cast shadow on it without any surface rendering. Many games do that, specially when the FP and TP meshes and skeletons are different. - The distance blur on the arm work quite well to focus attention on the opponent, but the textures on the arm look more blured than the edges. This might be because the texture resolution is much lower than it needs to be, since it was originally made for a much further view (standard side TP view). When the camera is that close to the texture, you need to increase the resolution significantly, since more pixels of your render view per pixel in the texture. Ideally you would want to have 3 or 4 LOD ( Levels of detail), in the case, FP character, TP characters, Background close elements, and background back elements. I believe you already do this in the environment, but for this FP view you also need it for the characters to get a better presentation.

[@GamerSaga]
