For what's essentially a tech demo at the moment, this is lots of fun, and I love how involved you seem to be with the community, replying to lots of people and updating frequently. It'd be cool to see some levels or at least a level creator when you're done padding out the gameplay, something like this could be neat in some classic 90's to mid 2000's style campaign, just straight forward combat focused levels, thinking like blade of darkness and the sort.
It has potential to be unironically one of the best fighting games on this site, but the lack of polish is holding it back. And please, for the love of god, get rid of the "spam space to get back up" function. It's terrible
your voice been heard although I might disagree >:(
BUT I chaged that (:
Starting from next update you will need to HOLD space (lower face button on gamepads) to get up. Also getting up is now faster. Unless your legs are broken (: or head
Also I have some activation problems with the thrusting cause it's a double click.
(I'd also like to see better dismemberment damage to were it actually cuts a limb off where I hit it and doesn't just phase through. Multi-layer damage, deformation or hit decals, semi-dismemberment, one of the above would be nice to see. Get rid of the spam space thing please.)
What is the problem? Is it unpacking? if so try downloading txt file “If yo can’t unpack it, try downloading from here.txt” and download a single archive from the link inside
I dont got money ;-; if this geta in steam ill be happy cuz frankie gets what he deserves for his hard work but then ill be stuck watching youtube about this game but anyway good job frankie i love the new map and the new gore and stuff i think the stringy organs were a good touch love the skull crushing finale too XD keep it up and i cant wait to see even more gore coming with more weapons and maps and realism and if it would be possible the arms of characters keep breaking when I try and swing can it be stiffened a bit for slight easier and better hits
Hi, it's me again, I finally managed to solve that error, and i can say that game has a lot of potencial, really good, and fun too. Here are some suggestions of what else you can add from the game.
*Audience sounds. ( Which can change tone as deaths or dismemberments are made.)
*An arena mode. (where there may be more Npc's to fight.)
*Customization. ( Character customization, such as choosing weapons, armor, or shields.)
*A shop system. ( Can be used to buy items for customization.)
*Small details. ( Like birds, step effects, bloody footprints, and more.)
*A difficulty system. (self explanatory.)
*Easier body dismemberment. (this is just an ideia.)
*New maps. (self explanatory.)
*Magic swords. ( I know this is supposed to be a medieval game, buit i can't get over that fact that magic swords, realistic or not, would be pretty cool.)
Like i said, you game looks amazing, i managed to fix that bug last night, and i should have a few hours playing by now. And i would buy it even if it was 200 dollars. Great game man, very good.
i know my comment about the easier dismemberment seems strange, i just thought ripping off the head is harder than the legs or arms, i was thinking of making lower limbs a little harder, and the head a little easier. But that's not a problem, just a suggestion. Great game, very good job.
By the way, i have a few more ideias for your game, i made a little list. If you want me send it just let me know ;)
I love this game and it is very fun! If possible could you try to get charecter customization? you don't have to, its just a little thing i thought would've been cool.
Hey hey! No worries, I am alive! Just half a planet away from my workspace, so updates are coming out much slower now. But new update is soon and I will also start paying attention to social networks too.
I suggest the addition of different maps, such as a battlefield outside a castle or town, then another map that is the inside of the town which is a village. Then one that's a sort of empty grasslands, then a swampy map or marshland. More map suggestions would be a entire forest with interactable places spread through out, a desert, a cliff where you can kick people off if kicking is added, then a arena sort of a colosseum or something. Now for general game suggestions, instead of having to restart or having the NPC already there, why not add a menu where you can spawn a variety of NPC's with a variety of weapons or with no weapon, with armor and helmets or without, and a clothing menu where you can change your clothes with a variety of shirts, pants, shoes, armors, helmets, hairs, and faces. A final suggestion would be adding modding to the game and making a sort of workshop and downloading page inside the game which allows you to use the mods.
We will add most of the things you described as we progress through the development. We don’t have most systems and mechanics yet, but, when we get to actual gameplay loop we are aiming for, things should get more diverse and interesting.
This game was loads of fun, and I can't wait to play it again as the game is worked on more, it's a little difficult to direct your swings at some points but some of that adds to the charm of the game!
This game is so fun and is the best physics based itch.io game especially playing in the 1.5.2 version of the game which has the ability to push people.
As fun as this game is, I have some suggestions:
-I know this is a medieval game, but I would like a gun if it's possible - better first person cuz I think it's a little too shaky - bring back the push ability - pressing 1 gives you the sword, I would like if I could spawn the rest of the weapons. - ability to jump -customization for your character or enemy (armor or clothes) -ability to spawn enemies instead of restarting - motion blur option for realism and depth of field - remove the man under the ground as it scares me every time my first person camera clips through

Been here since the lemon men ages and I'm really glad how far this game has come, great work!
Thank you!!
Wow that’s quite some time already, huh?
I hope we are not letting down the og followers(:

hehe thank you (:
I'd put it like this "d be cool too see level creator or AT LEAST some levels".
I have feeling that creating the whole new tool would be harder than making several levels(:
And yes, we might try out some more complex maps
I don't know why I find this hilarious, but I'm laughing my butt off right now.
man getting stabbed from all directions
Thought it was atragedy
But it`s a comedy
yeah..
in the new update slomo doesnt work :(
It's now on E key(:
Alt is now stabby mode
It has potential to be unironically one of the best fighting games on this site, but the lack of polish is holding it back. And please, for the love of god, get rid of the "spam space to get back up" function. It's terrible
oh no, my smash space bar mini-game was supposed to be as fun as Oblivion dialog wheel:(
what went wrong?...
I will try to come up with something different(:
your voice been heard
although I might disagree >:(
BUT I chaged that (:
Starting from next update you will need to HOLD space (lower face button on gamepads) to get up. Also getting up is now faster. Unless your legs are broken (: or head
I will think about polish.........
i think the real problem is the charictar geting up even when hes not damaged its like controlling a red dead horse over mountains
Cool beans. By the way, the new update is amazing. Keep up the good work developer man!
I like but I keep stepping on spiked balls ):
Also I have some activation problems with the thrusting cause it's a double click.
(I'd also like to see better dismemberment damage to were it actually cuts a limb off where I hit it and doesn't just phase through. Multi-layer damage, deformation or hit decals, semi-dismemberment, one of the above would be nice to see. Get rid of the spam space thing please.)
first 2 - fixed!
last one... that gonna need some time (:
Windowed mode! got it! Will try not to forget (:
Nice technique!
Weeeelllllll
I would love to try the new updates, but i won't unpack. I'll try the new link, but i think that really needs to be fixed :/
itch doesn’t allow me to upload files larger than 1gb. Maybe I can ask them to give me 2gb limit for the next update…
But now you can try to download from a google drive link, it should work
Ah, I didn't know. Thanks for telling me!
what r theminimum requirements bae?
UE5 says it needs:
But I am running it with 8 gb ram, and gtx860M
Windows 10 + is a must though
sadge
how much ram do you need?
because it says memory low is its starting to piss me off
my potato laptop has 8 gb ram and I run it there. What’s your setup?
4 gb ram on a potato
Damn, I thought I had a potato :(
Problem is that I am building on Unreal Engine 5 and it needs some meat in that potato(
UE4 was far more forgiving((
i would play it but i got the most worst potato
can you add grabbing weapon from the ground
Sure! Once the mechanics for that are ready :)))
The more you play it the more fun it becomes ->
Awesome!!! It should also play better soon! (I hope)
The new downloads are password protected
Also, RIP underground giant.
and I recommend trying to get up here! nice new map! =)
hehehe ;) ;) ;)
Found the secret of the ancients? ;) ;)
I remember making all the downloads free to access without password..
What is the password?(:
strange… will check that once I get to PC
hmmmmm..
I checked it.. Should be free to download and free to open
what a nice screenshot btw.. snatching that:)))

What is the problem? Is it unpacking? if so try downloading txt file “If yo can’t unpack it, try downloading from here.txt” and download a single archive from the link inside
Thanks! i downloaded the txt and it worked! :D
Noice!

DAMN forgot to build for mac again...
Ok, I will set a reminder not to forget next time..
Sorry, we don't have a version for mac atm, but we will try to prepare it asap
damn....... Seems like I need an actual mac to build for mac.. didn't know that before.. Seems like I need a mac now
oh no... if you can't do it it's fine
graphics seem beefy, will this run on a potato?
There is a potato mode in settings! (after you start the game)
Also do you have discord frankie ?
Sure! https://discord.gg/RdV2RG6B
I need to put it some better visible place
I dont got money ;-; if this geta in steam ill be happy cuz frankie gets what he deserves for his hard work but then ill be stuck watching youtube about this game but anyway good job frankie i love the new map and the new gore and stuff i think the stringy organs were a good touch love the skull crushing finale too XD keep it up and i cant wait to see even more gore coming with more weapons and maps and realism and if it would be possible the arms of characters keep breaking when I try and swing can it be stiffened a bit for slight easier and better hits
Hehehe! Thank you! Nice to see a fellow member of a broke club! We will figure something out for the likes of us (:
And I will try to fix physical wankiness soon!

You should release this on steam! i would defiantly pay 20+ dollars for this :D
Ooh I could buy candies for whole week for $20!!!
We will definitely release on steam once we are ready!
Cant wait!!

Thank you a lot!!
Wow! Believe or not, but most of those things are already planned, we just need "some" time to make them ((:
But EASIER dismemberment? Most of people complained it is too easy now hehe (:
Cool!!!
i know my comment about the easier dismemberment seems strange, i just thought ripping off the head is harder than the legs or arms, i was thinking of making lower limbs a little harder, and the head a little easier. But that's not a problem, just a suggestion. Great game, very good job.

Hehe
Shoot!
You can also post them in the #feedback channel in Discord. We are making a roadmap and we include those suggestions there as well.
https://discord.gg/TKhNAXpd
Thanks!!
My name in discord is Pedraum'-', if i can i'll send you in private so as i not disturb other in the suggestions channel.
imagine this in vr...
just play gorn wtf
Maybe some day :))))))
I love this game and it is very fun! If possible could you try to get charecter customization? you don't have to, its just a little thing i thought would've been cool.
Thank you!
We don't have this system in the works now, but we might have it further in the development. I would love to have it in that game too (:
what is the requirement of this game?
I am building this on Unreal Engine 5, so I suppose the rquirements are the same as the engines:
that's what google showed me.
I have a potato laptop and still run it with potato graphics somehow :))))
the only unavoidable part is Windows 10
yo frank you good its been a while?
hes working on the game, just chill bro
I know mate just checking if he is ok i dont care about updates as long as he is ok
Hey hey! No worries, I am alive! Just half a planet away from my workspace, so updates are coming out much slower now. But new update is soon and I will also start paying attention to social networks too.
thats good to hear man and dont worry about your updates as long as you are good
I AM BACK! And I brought the update!
Discord link doesn't work, only brings me to an empty text channel
sorry, updated it. Try this one
https://discord.gg/S3YyNyG6

About maps: noted (:
i crash everytime i press start how do i fix this
Does it say anything? Any error window?
it says memory low
You do not have enough of ram
how much ram do i need?
I am running this with 8gb
When I launch the game, it says Fatal Error. How do I fix this?
Go to the Half-Sword folder > Binaries > Win64 > HalfSwordUE5.exe
Worked for me
Did it work? If not, maybe this video has some answers
This game was loads of fun, and I can't wait to play it again as the game is worked on more, it's a little difficult to direct your swings at some points but some of that adds to the charm of the game!
Ow ow ow this is awesome! I hope we will have something more to showcase the gameplay (:
We will work on performance along the way too.. and add v-sync
nice cuts btw (:
Hey ive been wondering how long it took you to make this game?
Maybe add a good ol' fashioned mace?
Hey knives frank! Other people are requesting guns and stuff, but how about the good ol' fashioned bow and arrow?
It would fit nicely with the medieval theme.
or different eras with sabres and muskets
yeah! But around that time period
What you have right here is an amazing game. Keep working on it and I'm sure you'll get some massive following with this. Top tier physics combat.
Im guessing a big update is coming cuz there is no update yet
XD ( im hyped sorry )
This game is so fun and is the best physics based itch.io game especially playing in the 1.5.2 version of the game which has the ability to push people.
As fun as this game is, I have some suggestions:

- ability to jump
-customization for your character or enemy (armor or clothes)
-ability to spawn enemies instead of restarting
- motion blur option for realism and depth of field
- remove the man under the ground as it scares me every time my first person camera clips through
Movement is clunky and the weapon handling needs work, but the concept is amazing, other comments sum up other ideas nicely
Yes!
Will be trying to change that soon!
Thank you!
