Hellish Quart News

Fixed the Character Selection Screen bug, where single player and two player selection modes were turned on simultaneously.

Hellish Quart can now be played in VR!



From this point on you have an option to play the game with OpenVR (HTC Vive, Valve Index) or Oculus (Quest 2, CV1). You can also play on normal monitors, as usual. VR is just an additional way to enjoy the game.

The VR mode doesn't change the gameplay - you still play the game with a gamepad or the keyboard, and the view is as if you were a spectator. There are two options for the VR experience: lifesize and miniature.

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.09.02

NEW:
- Added Virtual Reality mode for SteamVR and Oculus (some things don't work yet - UI during the match, win/lose UI screens, etc.)
- Rematch button after a fight


FIX:
- Fixed double fade out after a fight in Survival Mode
- Minor UI fixes in Character Select Screen

Known Issues:
- VR: When you run the game in Oculus VR mode, and you have the Quest 2 connected to Oculus PC using Air Link, Steam Client might report that Hellish Quart is incompatible with your headset. Ignore the message and run it anyway, it should work normally.
- VR: In-fight UI doesn't work properly yet.

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.08.19.0

TWEAK:
- Gedeon: Special Attacks tweaks
- Barabasz: Special Attacks tweaks
- Alexander: General Attack tweaks
- Characters now don't do a low attack leg slip dodge if further than 2.2m from the opponent
- Default Muscle Power is now a bit lower (adjustable in Options)

NEW:
- Move Lists now show which attack is a FEINT. Feints are attacks that confuse the opponent and cause him to assume an incorrect guard position unless the opponent presses (or is pressing) Backwards during the attack. FEINTs are indicated visually by particles and audio when performed. TL;DR: Press or hold the backward button to block this.

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.08.16.0

FIX:
- Marta: fixed some wrong attack animation transitions in very close distance
- Jacek: fixed a bug where Jacek would do a step forward after Fwd + X Attack animation finishes playing
- Alexander: Blade Away guard should now work

TWEAK:
- Every character's Hit Reaction stun (from sword) lasts 1s (may change), but can be cancelled at any moment by Dodge Back (tap 2x Backwards Button). The Dodge animation will not trigger if the character is Limping, but the Stun will still be cancelled.
- Tweaked Close Attack (punch) Hit Reactions stun time across all characters
- Further tweaks of the sword collision system

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.08.14.0

NEW:
- Marta: has new X and Long Guard + X combos (that should also fix the attacks spamming)
- Marta: a quick cut attack (Down, Fwd, X)

FIX:
- Marta: fixed some Long Guard attack triggering
- fixed bug where you were able to train with sharp weapons in FPP
- Barabasz: adjusted feet colliders to prevent feet from dragging on the ground
- Marta: Close Attack (punch, kick) is now triggered properly at a very close distance
- Marta: Fixed Long Guard: Y, X attack not inflicting damage if the first attack in the combo was blocked
- Fixed regression: a cut in the weak part of the blade now forces through the opponent's guard and inflicts reduced damage if scores a hit

TWEAK:
- Marie: a bit less inertia on the sword
- Marie: a different High Guard + X attack animation (a very quick cut)
