Hellish Quart - Longsword And New Arenas

Oooooh the NPC changed the way she attacked after you cut her hand, that´s very nice

[@eddie6951]

There's a toggle-able stamina bar in the game(off by default). When it gets low, your attacks and parries become less effective. They stated there would also be some locational damage shenanigans - such as limping when hit in the leg - as well, so it might also be that. From what I gather from the demo, these are the actions that drain your stamina: Attacking < Blocking < Being hit by a non-lethal attack

I was surprised, but I played like 60 fights yesterday with a friend through steam remote and it was really fun and stable. Don't think physics-based game can be made to reliably work on multiplayer without implementing custom physics engine, though

[@DwarfElvishDiplomacy]

I love it, dont get overwhelmed by all the things people want. Multiplayer would be nice but hard to achieve in a physics based fighting game + the people crying about nerfing and buffing will be awfull. Just keep on doing what you are doing, i got all my friends to have your game on the wishlist . PS : A nice feature that wouldnt be too hard to add would be a replay feature so you can see what you did right or wrong

[@Kubold]

I understand that by saying "multiplayer" everyone means "GGPO online netcode". At this stage, multiplayer will look like this, during Early Access period on PC: - local 2 player mode - online 2 player mode with in-game Parsec integration (you will be able to play random people or friends and there will be a lobby inside the game - but it is still streaming, so high speed internet is advised) - online 2 player mode with Steam Remote Play Together (only Steam, not GOG) You can play online. I do it all the time in the Hellish Quart demo, using Parsec, with random people or friends. It works very well, if you have 20Mbit/s+ internet (I know, not everyone has this). I also know, there are no score boards, ranks, which takes away from the online experience. For now GGPO netcode it is way beyond my know-how. I do the next best thing I can, to make this game be playable online. But story mode is coming, a full single player, cinematic campaign.

Dude I've been watching development for this game for awhile now and I have to say I haven't been so excited for a game in a long time! Please, just remember the game comes first and don't release it if you don't think it's totally complete to you personally. I know money isn't free... But trust in yourself with this project as I believe it has the potential to be the next big thing. As long as it does not lose its heart and soul.

[@smigleson]

Dear Kubold; Thank you for developing this game and keeping us up to date with it's increasingly complex plethora of animations and physics. By now I know the moveset of the Demo by heart, and if i might be so bold as to ask you for a thing. It would be to update the new physics especially the weak vs strong block to the demo, for it detracts a lot of the realism experience, which might undersell for people playing for the first time. I completly understand that the demo has to have some limitations or else nobody would feel tempted to buy the game to enjoy the full experience, but having the combat as fleshed out as it could between the 3 characters of it would mean more people impressed with your marvelous work.

[@charlesratcliff2016]

I am a huge fan of HEMA. KZbin recommended this video to and I am glad they did because it is awesome. You got a new subscriber.

[@Riot076]

This and Manor Lords (and also Bloodlines 2,but shhhh) are my 2 absolutely most anticipated games of this year. And really the whole idea with stances is brilliant. The character movement also becomes smoother and smoother with every video you share. Gonna love the game when it finally comes out!

[@userJanus3003]

4:26 No problem combining different sources in one character. People get way too worked up over which master teaches what moves.

[@DerHerbman]

don't tell the HEMA Police!

[@Ambaryerno]

TBH, I'm sure there were fencers who DID learn multiple disciplines. There's even some evidence that Fiore himself studied with Liechtenauer.

[@userJanus3003]

No doubt. And it's not like that just because a specific technique doesn't show up in a manual that everyone in that time and region was physically incapable of doing it.

[@epic321123]

I see online in the main menu, hope it's more than steam share This is looking better and better the more I watch the video. And your mumbling doesn't matter, your work speaks for itself

[@Kubold]

For Early Access on PC there will be Parsec in-game integration. It works faster than Steam and it has matchmaking with random players. I know it is still not ggpo netcode, but it is way beyond my knowledge how to do that in a non deterministic physics based ragdoll game.

[@epic321123]

​@@Kubold That's great! Hopefully if the game explodes and earns money you can hire someone to work on netcode. For now matchmaking will be a tremendous upgrade and the game will have a continuous playerbase

[@gigiozzolo]

If I can give you a little bit of advice: to avoid mumbling and stuttering with a second language, the best strategy is to draw a simple chart of the video you are going to realize and select the topics you are going to talk about. Then, after preparing, say, introduction, exposition, gameplay and ending, you pick the various topics to be discussed and, for the more spoken parts of the video, you prepare a number of quick sentences referring to the various points, and practice those sentences until they come quickly to your mouth. Practical example: you have to speak about the various guards for the longsword. You repeat ad nauseam the sentence "to access the various alternative guards, you have to press the right shoulder button to get to the long guard and then you can do either the forward or the backwards quarter circle. This way you get the wrath and the iron gate. This it what they look like". You say that, proceed to execute the motions, show a few attacks, mumble something to the audience -literally- to keep them engaged. After you finish, you can choose another topic, e.g. the execution of thrust and lunges. After that, you say "let's kill the opponent" and proceed to duel. I hope I'm being helpful!

[@BananaSauceification]

Exactly, i was skipping most of the video as it was kind of frustrating to have multiple half spoken ideas and just no structure at all.

[@jakubpetras3605]

Pro tip: punch the buttons on the game pad really hard for maximum attack power. Also makes menus load faster.

[@shylomossberg]

Imagine actually having a serious battle with someone and you all are ducking each other's attacks and swiftly dodging attacks and boom!!! Someone's head is gone that fast because you wasn't quick enough with your defense. This is going to be a perfectly designed game with serious physics. It doesn't look like the typical swing and punch attacks from old fighting games where the attacks never look as if it actually hits the characters. This seems more realistic with the cuts and slices. The way the weapons nip away at certain parts of the characters.

[@tylerissla7139]

I have a question about the pflug (plow) stance with the longsword. Wouldn't it make more sense for the fencer to point the tip toward the opponent in pflug instead of off of the side to give the impression that the opponent needs to get past the point to avoid getting stabbed?

I don't know wether there is a story based in eastern Europe, but for the duels later you could add perhaps some exotic figures and fighting styles, like a south-east Asian (Malaysia or so) and Japanese guy. They were potential adversaries in the 16th/17th c.
