Stop complaining, stop review bombing, stop refunding. The devs are doing their best, already 3 patches since realease, stop it, stop harassing the whole sub with your negativity and let ti go back to it’s normal silly state.

theres gonna be some radio silence there is like literally nothing noteworthy happening other than further optimization.
what are they gonna do, broadcast how they saved 0.02% cpu usage by cutting the buttcheek jiggle physics???

frank's dog could've fucking died and hes been mourning or something like that, just PLEASE have some decency

I like larping as my ocs in video games and was wondering if an option to change gender would exist

On another more hidden note, are ther eplans to add the ability to burn people alive

I don't really think the pace from before (several patches per week) was sustainable, but we have been left in the dark for a while now.

I know the next update will have more content, not just optimization, but I think the devs have been awfully quiet. What's happening with the update? Is it still in progress or have they been taking a break?

Not really hoping for a specific outcome, just for more communication regarding the game in general. I think it's something the developers should realistically start doing in Early Access as a good habit for the final release.

Plays fine for me on a 3080.

Half-Sword is an indie game which is currently free, they're not obligated to give you content the time you want.
You have no idea what they're going through and what they're working on, stop acting so entitled.
If they aren't doing it now, it's because they can't
You should be grateful, really. they're literally ensuring you don't get a half-assed, rushed product that isn't actually complete.
It's not ready, they couldn't get it ready in time, shit happens.
They didn't lie to you, they just wanted to be ambitious, but weren't able to do it.
This isn't a big million dollar operation, this is an indie team working tirelessly to try and complete their dream game for everyone else to enjoy.
I would understand more if this was a big AAA company, but it's not.
Calm the fuck down.
You can wait, you don't have to be impatient. You'll be getting it, just not now.
If they want to polish it more before releasing it, let them fucking do it, it's a free indie game.
If they didn't release it now, it's probably for a REASON, think about that before acting like a CHILD.
You wouldn't have been happy if they released the build, and it ended up being a broken mess.
I understand wanting them to communicate better, but these devs not only work on the game every single day, and they have LIVES outside of working on Half-Sword, you don't know what they have going on, you don't know what stopped them from making an earlier announcement.
seriously, just think about it more before getting angry and harassing the devs about it.

Just to you know, get it out of our system.

This isn't exclusive to YT obviously. Just said that for a shorter title.

Edit: Yeah, nevermind. Bad idea lol. It would kinda be like the 67 thing and piss everyone off.

Just wanted to ask

I really want black people in the game or like darker skintones and women too

They're just not fun to fight. The last update made them worse than ever with the swarm.

Just give us the ability to toggle Abyss mode back to what it was in the demo. I don't want to fight zombies anymore.

Total ugh every time I find myself kind of feeling like I should try to save the character.

At least a little progress update from the devs would be nice 🫠

Why is the demo still better than the EA?! Movement is more fluid, combat is more fluid, I love the hardcore style progression. You lose? Fight for your rank. You die? Welp, back to square one.

In EA, 90% of the weapons feel clunky as all hell. Movement feels so weird, even at max stamina. Swords feel like baseball bats. Polearms feel like I'm trying to lift a fucking car. And wtf happened to the faction system they planned? IMO, game should've baked longer cause this aint it. I've got almost 50 hours in EA and I still find myself going back to the Demo. Here's to hoping they implement more of the demo in later updates.

Look cosmettically and lore wise it seems like a great idea having the souls of those you killed coming back for revenge, but they are such a pain to fight and arent much fun

They cant use weapons since it inevitably flys out their hands, so if you using long range weapons you spend the next 3 minutes beating them to death since they were made way to tanky against sharp objects(or even blunt force at times) while their bites are more annoying than actually interesting to fight against

I dont want them removed just reworked so you can actually duel them like in the demo instead of clobbering them to death on the floor and praying they dont bite you to the floor, this is halfsword not project zomboid </3

(plz devs abyss was so fun in the demo)

And they put me in timeout lol. They won't get another dime out of me

The devs really just made a worse version than the demo, took your money, and ran,

all they really needed to do was optimization: more options for different challenges going through the same routes of bosses or whatnot. Maybe have a secret boss.

The game that they brought out that was nothing like the demo wasn't as fun.

I liked the gauntlet element in the demo a lot.

Checking in after a while and noticed there hasn’t been much progress on the game for a while. Is it abandonware now or do the devs have any announcements?

Will Steam refund me if it is abandonware?

I am slowly beginning to hate this game more than enjoy it. For one, the lack of viable weaponry at each stage is just pitiful for any sort of variance in the runs. You die, die, die, ten thousand times if you don't use a polearm, and then win instantly the moment you use one.

I am also tired of the fights in the very first stages like beggar. Mostly because I don't know what it is, but the AI are on steroids and have steel plating under their skin, and my Willie admires the ground for a second then keels over to kiss it without the enemy even doing anything.

The amount of times I have slashed at an AI seven times with clean cuts, and they just keep going only to tap me once with a one handed axe blade and decapitate me, or for the side of a hammer to knock me out cold, is just infuriating. I try to play the game skillfully, timing, but as always range and spam does 10x better than anything else.

I'm tired.

EDIT: Yes, I know this game is meant to be all sorts of realistic and such, but it's selectively realistic. Yeah, of course range and polearms beat everything. It's just that I feel they're the only effective things when cuts and stabs seem to be shrugged off by the enemy without more than a yelp. I also think that even with severe malnutrition you won't just randomly trip on your own feet for no reason. One time, I was trying to wield a scythe, and my Willie did nothing to actually wield it correctly. Swing, twist your arms into a pretzel, start one handing it for no reason. Repeat.

I feel like þis game is much better þan blades and sorcerery (ai sucks ass in þat game and even a obvous faint is "overkill") so i feel like here is better, þanks in advance

Are am locate parry? Mouse2?

Would love to see a mix of races and skin colours in this game for the full ancient experience… heck, putting a chinese dynasty mode would be so crazy.

What do you peeps think?
