Hello,

This is a very nice game, I must congratulate the author for a nice piece of work. It's very dynamic and fluid, however, I have some comments to the combat system:

1) Weapon fight is constant reversal spamming which is annoying (especially with swords). Such moves would be immensely more difficult to pull of in real sword fight.

2) Absence of a reliable block function. Basically, I would prefer a system that would feature (sorted by how often a technique occurs):

blocks > dodges > reversals.

Block is most reliable and easy to perform. Dodge must be well timed and reversal can be only done on special conditions (opponent too close, blow too strong, etc)

Basically, the game is a good and funny mock kungfu with rabbits, but the weapon combat could be much more elaborate.

Anyway, nice little game!

One: This is not attempting to be realistic, the jumping is a little over-the-top, too, even for rabbits :wink:
Two: I don't think any changes are going to happen to the game, even bug fixes would be rare, and david must've just not thought about putting blocks in, ie: reversals were all he thought of at the time, and dodges (hopping back away from a weapon attack)

P.S: I think I heard something about lugaru being in a "final release", as in FINAL, REALLY REALLY FINAL

OK nice, nice impression I'm glad you like Lugaru (probably not as glad as David is for reciving his millionth complement :P). However as Mr. Rabbit Stick said, Lugaru is at it's final, there will most likely be no changes to the game of course as it has been released for quite some time.

However that doesn't mean these aren't bad ideas for Lugaru 2, by all means check out the "wolfire software" section and post whatever you want to say there (there's already an "Additions to the Combat system" forum that had recently broken up due to complications. It's kind of lonely there...). And don't worry, every one reads pretty much every single post (at least I think so), so there's no need to create a new thread if you want people to hear your awesome idea, we'll see it.

Yep, I read every single post… except for when there is HEAPS to read, I LOVE to read, but not always :P

I wish it didn't reset it to "read everything, no new posts anywhere in the forum" when you stopped looking at the forum

I read almost every post as well, of course that is largeley because these forums are one of my means of procrastinating, like right now I should be working on a paper due tommorow...
