Schiavona Animations and some details about the weapon (video)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

This time about the schiavona sword attack animations for new character of Hellish Quart. Long story short - we got the real sword to record proper animations and get the feeling of how it is to fight with it.

I am a bit surprised that on videos it looks "light", while in reality it feels very heavy. I did not speed it up in mocap animations either.

We also 3d-scanned another big batch of historical clothes for making various new characters - both fencers and story npcs.


Story mode and mini-quests:

We decided to delay them, because we changed the concept of the stories a bit. Instead of a series of loose, random quests, every character will now have his own adventure that leads to the big, main storyline. Also, every mini-quest is now written by Jacek Komuda, our writer/historian - this way the entire plot and all the characters' fates create one coherent universe.
