Incline Hellish Quart - 17th century historical dueling game with physics based combat

[Zariusz]

Heh, for lulz i checked Lovers Lab for Hellish Quart thread, yes it somehow exist and coomers are already in the motion . I wonder how much time will pass before first Isabella and Marie nude mods.

This is backwards... they need to mod Hellish Quart into an actual game.

Who is "they"?
It's just one guy with great ambitions.
And possibly no sensible development plan.

This guy AND all the game dev studios out there that couldn't make a good aRPG combat system if their life depended on it (e.g. Bethesda, Bioware, Obsidian, even FromSoftware lately).

The cross-guard seems effective.

The cross-guard seems effective.

Heh balls-like crossguard was actually used in late medieval daggers called Bollock knives.

From what i remember those were worn in a way as a symbol of your manliness. You could insult someone by talking shit about his dagger and he had to react, if he did nothing then it was assumed that the insult was true.

Working on the Story Mode

Hi,

You might have noticed that the updates are not coming as often as usual right now. This is because we are working on an entirely new story mode section - new mechanics and cutscenes for Hellish Quart. The first short story will be a side quest for Jacek, which will connect to the plot of the main campaign at the end.

This mode will include not only cutscenes, but also some entirely new adventure gameplay and a few new characters. This is quite a lot of content to make for a small studio like ours, so we need a bit of time to make this into a complete section of the game, for you to play from start to finish. We hope this story driven, single player experience will finally complete the feature list of the game and shape Hellish Quart into the game we imagined initially. It will also clear the way for producing the main campaign, which we will start right after completing this short story.

We ask you for a bit more patience and will upload Jacek's side quest as soon as it's done!

Thank you for your support,

Can we change the tag for "vaporwave"?

I wonder if they changed perspective, screenshots here look more like 3rd person while old story mode video was isometric.

 

[Zariusz]

It seem that i was right about new perspective and they finally started to implement proper dubbing, i wonder if its going to share the cast with that upcoming tv series adaptation of Komuda book. Funny how old Jacek got dethroned.

The story mode could be really interesting in this, looking forward to it much more than the arena stuff.

Feature creep shovelware not unsimilar to Exanima.

Feature creep shovelware not unsimilar to Exanima.

Adventure story mode is not something new for fighting games, besides can you really compare this with Exanima and its procedurally generated insanity?

 

[gabel]

I'm comparing the feature creep primarily, and the development time to an extent.
Both have the same business model of attracting buyers with an appealing but unfinished game.
The only difference is that Exanima is in the lead by half a decade or so.

Update from last sunday with fresh new mode:

In this update, we introduce a remade Survival Mode and Steam Leaderboards feature.

In the new Survival Mode, you will attempt to fight and survive through 30 consecutive duels. Regardless of the outcome, your fighting skills will be scored, with each game character having a separate score. The objective of this game mode is to achieve the highest score possible. You must decide between fighting cautiously to maximize the chance of progressing to another duel and fighting fast and risky to maximize your score.

You earn points for:

- A quick win - how swiftly you can defeat the opponent; the longer the match lasts, the fewer points you receive
- Aggression - points are added for advancing towards the enemy and forcing them to block your attacks
- Successful attacks - when you wound your opponent
- Hitting the Opponent in the head or body
- Blocking an attack
- Winning a Round by grappling
- Flawless Victory - you gain the most points for a one-hit clean kill, some points for parry-riposte kills, and no points if you get hit

You lose points for:

- Attacks that missed - when you swing in the air without hitting anything
- Getting hit
- Lack of aggression - walking backward or allowing the opponent to advance

You can find this information in the Training\Tutorial menu in the game.

Whether you survive the entire 30 fights or not, your top score will be uploaded to a Steam Leaderboard, so you and everyone else can see how well you did.

As always, this is all optional.

When launching Hellish Quart, you can choose to play with or without Steam. If you choose to play without Steam, the game will simply not initialize the Steam SDK and will be launched as a completely standalone, DRM-free program. The new Survival Mode will work, but the score will be saved only in a save file on your hard drive, and will not be uploaded anywhere.

Have fun and good luck getting on top of the leaderboards!
