Hellish Quart News

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2021.05.10.0

FIX:
- Laszlo: fixed bug where you could launch an obsolete attack animation

NEW:
- New character models (not playable yet, we are animating them now)
- Jacek: Win but wounded animations

Hint:
If you don't want to unlock non-cosmetic content as you play (like Laszlo character), but want to have it unlocked from the start, now and in the future, type this secret code:

in Main Menu screen.

Just a quick info what we are doing and why it takes more time than at first expected. First mini-quest needs character customization system to create new characters and rewards. So...



This week we were preparing new clothes for Hellish Quart to build new characters. Those are real historical reconstruction clothes - we use photogrammetry to scan them. It's quite fun to hold them physically in your hands, before they are digitized and put in the game.



New clothes will not only be available as customisation items for Player characters. They will also be essential for creating NPCs, like guards, badits, bystanders etc.

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2021.04.30.0

FIX:
- Isabella: fixed too weak physics muscles

NEW:
- Isabella: Win, But Wounded system test (different win animations, if the character is wounded)
- When starting History Buff mode, the game will try to assign first free controller to Left Player, if it is not already assigned

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2021.04.25.0

FIX:
- Fixed bug when Marie couldn't assume Long Guard (rapier up) pose after she was grabbed
- Fixed some typing mistakes in History Buff cards
- Fixed bug where History Buff cards did not randomize properly

(seeing History Buff fixes requires going through all old versions, so the list resets)

TWEAK:
- Barabasz is 2% faster
- Barabasz: some attacks are 5% faster
- Isabella: Upwards attacks deal 10% less damage
- Isabella: Downwards attacks deal 10% more damage
- Isabella: some attacks are 4% slower
- Laszlo: Wrist Hinge combo second attack is 10% slower
- Laszlo: Go Around attack is changed a bit

KNOWN ISSUES:
- one or two of History Buff cards may not display correctly

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2021.04.24.0


NEW:
- Chinese localization (Automatic translation, so there are errors for sure - final version of the translation will be done after completing the game)
- "History Buff" mode
- new music track in Meadow arena
- new character model (not playable yet)
- option to choose opponent's weapon sharpness in "vs. AI" battle

TWEAK:

- survival mode now shows the score in big font and notifies of new record
- survival mode difficulty curve is now easier - we start with opponents with almost blunt weapons and gradually move to razor sharp weapons

----------

I still need a few more days to make the first "mini quest" world. Since almost one third of Hellish Quart Players are from China, it was important to implement a localization system in the game, before it starts to be text heavy. Translation to more languages will follow.
