Hellish Quart News

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2025.01.07.0

NEW:
- Marta: new skin
- Customizable camera (work in progress - still has bugs):

During fight (unpaused):
F7 - switch normal / custom camera
F8 - mouse rotate / auto rotate
1 - fight preview off / on
2 - hide / show this text
4 - FOV change
IJKL / Right Stick - pan camera
Scroll Wheel - zoom

This setup will carry over to next fights

FIX:
- AI: fixes for certain scenarios involving canceling and grabbing defense
- Victory camera now should detect per arena if fog is rendered over the skybox or not

TWEAK:
- Moved some persistent scripts from Main Menu to the initial loading screen (longer initial loading, faster Main Menu loading)
- Marie, Marta: turned off IK wrist aiming (experimental)

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.12.20.0

FIX:
- Maryna's head wound decal in cutscenes now does not react to head wounds in fights with other characters

TWEAK:
- Music in the final cutscene

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.12.19.2

TWEAK:
- Jacek: swapped the finisher move to a potentially non-lethal-looking, to limit the dissonance between fighting gameplay and cutscenes
- Physics passes number increased to ensure better accuracy

NEW:
- Maryna in cutscenes should now have a head wound decal visible (in addition to "general bloodiness"), if you hit her in the head in gameplay

This update brings the last chapter of Jacek's Story.

The Story Mode will soon be updated with more character Stories. They will not feature as many cinematics as this one, but we hope the stories and duels will immerse you further into the world of 17th-century Ruthenia.

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.12.18.0

NEW:
- Story Mode, Jacek: added new chapters. Jacek's Story is now playable from start to finish.
- Laszlo, Gedeon: new skins to unlock

TWEAK:
- Survival Mode: scoring inflation (more points for time and successful finishers)
- Alexander is now listed as Dynis, to avoid confusion with Aleksander Tarnavski (the voiceovers were recorded a long time ago and I didn't notice they are both named Aleksander).


IMPORTANT:

If you have "strange" technical problems (crashes, "pink" textures, not working menus, etc.) with the game after updating it, please check the integrity of the local game files.

1. Load Steam
2. From the Library tab, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu
3. Select the Local files tab and click Verify integrity of game files...
4. Steam will verify the game's files and fix them if something is wrong

More technical help can be found in the Troubleshooting section here.

For anyone who missed this, Hellish Quart also supports Mods.
