Hey!


Thanks to the grant a few very talented developers joined our team.

Combat system core is ready.  It has counter attacks, feints, dodges, directional foot and separately knee attacks, soaking wounds, and so on, you will be able to read more about it on the new website.

We are upgrading it to reach the desired 2.0. As said before, there is a lack of animations, we need pretty much due to FPP/TPP, but now the work on them is ongoing and with their insert the fun will begin.

Weapon test is a new option in the menu. Today we add its early beginning with just two handed axe which animations are placeholders, but this option will grow into advanced system connected with customization. With the next update there will be more weapons and features.

  • Wounds system added.
    Each body part can be wounded.
    Wounds soak differently after hit.
    Wounds look and size are different depending on attack type (slash, stab, other). To be adjusted.




  • Blood splashes follow the attack direction and depend on attack type added

  • Different swing and blood trails per weapon added.

  • Souraunded audio added.
    Hit sounds in world and depend on attack type.
    Enemies cry with attenuation when fly away hit by Mjolnir.

  • Pickup system fixed.
    You can pickup weapon by pressing E while looking at it. Fixed aiming bug.

  • Weapon test option in menu added.
    A new map (not optimized yet) where you can take weapon and test on character.

  • Two handed axe added.

  • Block and counter attacks added.
    Fists block animation. 

  • Multiplayer put in temp maintenance mode.

  • New character added.

  • Music playing at the beginning fixed.

  • Attacks blending system reworked.
    Now it is possible for us to customize all the attack stages and morphes easily. It will result in much better gameplay feeling.




We give all backers and testers who joined us before Beta launch an exclusive legendary axe!
