Unofficial Overgrowth a175, weekly build

[Daedal]

Yay ! This obviously is a great update, and the new fighting style is really refreshing, besides being well made. The only problem is that it messes up your ability to throw one handed swords efficiently, once you enter the stance. Oh and, for some reason I noticed some suspicious blood trails, that is, it looks like some of them aren't good at physics. Well, what I mean with that " joke " is that when you kill an enemy with a sword ( especially two-handed ones ) and the said enemy is close to a wall ( or any element, I guess ), it leaves a very strange angular blood splatter on that wall. All other blood effects remain subject to the oh so awesome physics engine, but that particular one is completely unrealistic and looks more like a glitch. It may not be new, but for some reason I hadn't noticed that before.

Help i wanna do one handed sword fighting to

Something similar happened to me a while ago, and it turned out to be caused by a mistake I did when I updated the game. To fix it I had to reinstall the game. I don't know if it will solve your problem too, but you can always try.

Ive noticed a couple things with the new one-handed weapons, and it is kinda weird. You lose grip of the sword really fast. It's as if turner is holding on with his pinkie or something. Also, I think the one-handed weapons are too strong. Why use the broadsword or bastard sword, which are both slower than the one-handed swords, and do the same amount of damage. I think the one-handed swords should be at the same damage level as the spear, which takes 2 hits to kill someone.

you can edit the xml to make it a two hit kill, infact i did just that. and david did say that he just focused on the animation of it this week and that he said that he needs to work on balancing it alot more, so its not done yet.

Did he now? Well then I'll have to wait until David finishes polishing the swords then. How do you edit the xml so it's a two-hit kill?

So no alpha this week without letting us know?

EDIT: Tweets but no forum update, guess that's what I get for not having twitter.

David mentioned on the Wolfire twitter page that there is no video because he was moving this week.
