I can uppercut ppl into oblivion, 10/10 will buy once it's released
I do feel like constantly spamming attacks from 2 different directions is a little op as of now though, the enemies (or shopkeeper) can't do anything against it yet even when overencumbered
so spin to win is a viable option which is pretty funny tho
(also why does litterature or a leaf do more damage when thrown than a axe or other weapon lol)
Hey Zergs! Thank you for the awesome feedback!
Yeah lol - The item damage calculation definitely needs a coat of paint, on my list :D
Looks interesting. BTW, I have a question - in the future, when someone will buy Sword Hero on itch.io, Crytivo will still benefit from such purchase?
Thank you! Well - the nitty gritty details of itch.io haven't been discussed yet, but I'd presume.
For now, itch.io was mainly just a way to let people in Germany play, because the Demo was banned there temporarily due to violence.
A gothic-esque Science-Fantasy RPG from an Solo-Dev based in Europe? You sir, have my interest... and sword and prob. my money as soon as this goes live on Kickstarter.
Sincerly, your German Gothic fanatic.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it so far! :D
Can't wait to show off the RPG part of it all, since that's what I've been looking forward the most too.
Just saw the Youtube trailer and instantly downloaded the demo haha
It already plays really nicely, I also love the sound effects.
Искренне надеюсь что игру таки выпустят, это Бриллиант среди игр
Готика на Максималках? Определенно)
Thank you, glad you like it! Hah - I cannot wait to show you guys the open world design. I feel like my love for Gothic will really shine through there.
Oh my god man, this has that Gothic vibe I have been craving, I spent like 4 hours with this tiny demo and still craving more. I just need to know, is it possible to get the door open??? I really want to get in there!
Also the combat is really fricking spot on, it feels incredible stringing together a combo that does a number on the enemy, aswell as being punished hard for letting enemy combos through. It creates an incredibly tight risk-reward balance.
Hey man! Thank you very much, I'm really glad you like it! I tried to create a sort of amalgam of the classic Gothic combat mixed with a little Rune, I'm glad it turned out well.
As for the key - I saw someone on the Discord managed to get it, but spoiler alert - it is not in the Arena itself :D
Though I might add an easier way to get it, so people can walk around outside a bit, even if there is nothing, aside from a few little things in the test world.
I actually never heard of Rune before now but if that is the main inspiration along with Gothic I feel like I need to play it. But first I'm gonna get that key! Best of luck with development!
Oh.My.God. This looks like a dream game! Gothic and Rune vibes all over it!
Thank you very much, really glad you liked the Combat! The open world will deliver more of those classic vibes, can't wait to show off what I have properly.
I know these kind of questions are hard to answer but do you have an estimate on when you can show more or even a release window?
I think around January sounds realistic in that regard - (First Alpha)
Very impressed. I can tell there's lots of love put into this already
Hey there, thank you! Indeed, and I feel like the best is yet to come.
This is peak
Hey man! (Here too) - Glad you liked it, and thanks for leaving a comment.
