Sword Hero News

I was at an impasse the first time I reached the end of open world RPG Sword Hero's combat arena demo. I managed to bandage up the stump where my right arm used to be, recently hacked off by the big burly knight man locked in the arena with me, but could no longer pick up my weapon...

I hope your week is awesome so far. Mine surely is, after the huge surprise that IronPineApple decided to give Sword Hero a try - it was incredible to see him play the Demo.

Ahem.. I digress.

Hey Everyone! I hope your Monday was fairly bearable.

While churning out some patches for the Demo, (including the combat-sprint-removal experiment which was removed shortly after) - I've been chipping away at texturing the northest part of Wes, which will be included in the Alpha.

For the full version, I've chosen to hand-model my entire Terrain - and texture using trimsheets, for that nice authenticity.
I was pretty happy with how the overall vibe of how the first area is turning out, so I wanted to share a little clip with you all.

Despite beginning in a tame looking mountain, your journey on Wes will take you through rather alien landscapes as well at some points, as you might have expected it from a Ringworld that got attacked by unspeakable beings just a couple hundred years ago.

Let me know what you think!
