Hellish Quart News

The old pre-release demo has ended, the Early Access game is now live

Our old demo is quickly getting different from the Early Access of Hellish Quart, that released on February 16th 2021. It will start misrepresenting the game more and more after each update, so we disabled it. When the game will come close to completion, we will make a new demo, but for now all our focus goes to making the game.

You can still play it if you have it on your hard drive, if you run it directly, outside of Steam. However if you like the game and want to check out new characters and mechanics - take part in the Early Access!

In today's update of Early Acces we bring you Practice mode (with wooden weapons - endless sparring). Check it out!

Update: pre-alpha v. 2021.02.22.0

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2021.02.22.0

TWEAK:
- AI tweaks
- Empty Arena has music back on
- stripping down Meadow scene for additional FPS (wip)

FIX:
- Isabella: changing stances when on the right side is now done with correct up/down diection instead of left/right in game logic
- Fixed bug when Jacek tried to enter ragdoll mode after decapitation
- Fixed bug where Isabella sometimes freezes when changing high and low guard stances
- Pushing down the blade (hold Long Guard and press one of low attacks) now works on Marie

NEW:
- Barabasz: some new attack animations (beginnig to differentiate Barabasz from Jacek)
- Added new music track for Gallows arena
- bashing an idle blade makes it lose aim upon thrust for 0.3s (for example: bash Marie's rapier right before she attacks and she will lose aim for a moment)
- Practice mode (wooden weapons, no blood, endless) - in production / unpolished yet

Steam Game Festival Autumn Edition ended today, thank you for playing the pre-Early Access Demo of Hellish Quart.

We will now focus on bringing the game to Early Access release - with new characters, weapons, mechanics, levels, game features, music and the same brutal, fast but way deeper combat system.
