"His frustration accumulates."
So does mine. This boss fight is quite hard.
I really like how you made working armor, instead of spray painted cradboard like so many other games.
This gives the fight much more tension, as the player has to work with the new mechanic instead of simply pressing the attack button.
Well done. The game is not even finished and it is already one of my favourites.
1:28 - sooo smooth
6:19 - how ROW works xD
6:30 - awesome, realistic parry-riposte
13:28 - well prepared hellish quart!
I also thought 5:30 looked really good from the bots perspective!
I love the twist on the usual win conditions for Samuel. With how often people will reach the first stage, do you think you could add more of those cutscenes for variety? Or just more taunting voice lines in general
I thought that specific cutscenes which mark certain "milestones" are better at signaling at which boss "stage" you are at. They are skippable btw.
@@Kubold That reminds me AC Unity and QTE on Notre Dame - and especially my too slow PC, which was making me going back and forth from 1st stage to 2nd, because PC didn't process my clicks - I remember until now the animations between the stages. That was only getting more and more annoying xD I think the thing that you can skip the cutscene, should appear somewhere on the screen, so one could know about it earlier than reading somewhere else than the game or skip accidentally lol
Oh my my favourite tide animation creator likes this game too, cool :)
@@Kubold
Can you make characters talk ?
@@mohamed-fb9vt Voices for characters are not something that can be added bit by bit, as we develop. Voiceovers for cutscenes need to be recorded all together, at one big recording session, after the initial animatics for the entire game are done - so near the end of the production. At the same time the voice actors will record gameplay efforts, one-liners etc.
Nice run Kubold! As a Gedeon main I appreciate it the most. I already won with him but the boss fight wasn't easy at all as it should be. As playing with keyboard I have noticed that the lack of proper assigned keys for pushing or grabbing makes me sometimes to have undesired movements when I press two attack keys very close in time instead. Could you add specific keys by default and disable by default the two-keys input for the push and grab? Thanks for yor commitment with the game and the continuous efforts for balance
You can bind any key to Push in Options, but I will add some as default, sure.
@@Kubold yeah, playing on keyboard and trying to finish somebody is like 50/50 between doing so and just punching somebody (ironically pushing works all fine, at least for me). When was playing with my friend (he on a pad), he had serious advantage over me because of that xD
@Kubold Great work. If I suggested something, it would be to replace the morale indicator with a graphical element. A banner is the only object that matches function and historical placement that comes to mind. If it gets longer than 5, it unravels from the scroll, but if it's shorter, it gets tarnished, torn, and finally sets on fire at 1 and turns ashes at zero. And if there is an animation, that banner movement could correlate to airflow while the camera is moving.
Do you plan some ladder of progress screen on progress to the boss instead of just loading screen? e.g. trail path on the map.
I like the burning village in the background. Awesome update!
Beware the Drunken Blade of Divine Purgation
This game has so much more content since the last time I saw it, I'm amazed! It's really shaping up. I love how the boss character just has armour, it's so mundane but brilliant!
From a viewer’s perspective, this game has all the potential to become huge. It can rival Tekken’s e-sport scene. This can bring massive attention and popularity to the game, more than one would expect.
All I’d suggest right now would be to shorten the reset/loading screen inbetween rounds. Cut a few frames, more precisely the frames during which the screen is 100% black and 100% unanimated. After the fade to black has ended, those are the "still" frames I’m talking about. Start the screen when the "crossing swords" animation starts and keep it shown for as long as the animation is active. Nothing inactive before that.
Amazing gameplay, this is truly a great game. I’m buying it and I’ll follow the advancement with great interest.
Amazing stuff!
A small flavor text explaining why you are fighting each character would be pretty cool.
I love that Maria high guarded that last one and tried to grab you
Also love the game over picture and the character backgrounds before you start arcade mode.
Awesome work man! Good to have something difficult to strive for as a player who doesn't really have others to play with. Keep it up! :)
After watching MajorKade's videos, in which he treats Lazslo to many stabs, it was odd to see so many cuts :P This game always puts me in the mood to play Blade and Sorcery. Excellent vid, guv. And great game, but it sucks mightily that if you lose at Samuel's final form, you have to fight him from the start all over again rather than just restart on the same round
Daaamn nice! If Samuel had a spear nobody could beat him.
So basically you can't harm Samuel when you hit his armor (makes sense), you must aim at the gaps. And hitting him multiple times (no matter where) will eventually anger him as well, leading to next stages. Great run, and a great idea for an arcade mode. Just needs a bit more... polishing 😃
Edit: also, after winning 3 rounds the part when Samuel just takes off his armor without any trouble after being crushed by a burning logs is a bit unrealistic. Maybe changing that scene for him taking off only his helmet would be a better Idea, so you must hit him in the head to defeat him?
I think the idea is that after the logs fall on him, the armor saves him from being crushed but the heat causes the metal to burn him, so he takes the armor off. If that’s what’s happening I think the cutscene could do a better job of communicating it, but it’s a tricky thing to get across with only visuals.
@@Lavarpsu10 true, but it's kinda unrealistic when he just takes it off without any effort, using one hand, like it was a pajama, or something.
no, its actually not too unrealistic
@@matthaeusdecuiavia8637 He is able to so effortlessly remove it because it is broken.
amazing work
Bruh did you just "You haven't seen my final form" me rn
hey kubold, i beat him with Isabella, Kalstein and Gedeon, i loved this bossfight, is the best i had in fighting games in years
thats very cool. a boss covered in armor. coounters so many of the basic cuts
@Kubold Can we get a feature for disabling specific maps from all game modes? On a Laptop this game is playable with some tweaking, but only on certain maps (the ones without visual effects and many assets).
This game is a masterpiece, I love it!
When will the Spanish Conquistador be playable? I am really looking forward to trying that character
This boss fight is pure slapstick humor.
If I can make a suggestion, you should make it so that the AI on the boss becomes faster and more aggresive the more frustrated he is. Like each time you "win" it becomes harder to beat
I bought the game on Christmas and I'm having a blast learning all fighting styles! I'm eager to see what the new updates will bring to the game!
Is there any way I can contact you to report some bugs I have encountered? I tried using the Steam discussions page, but I got no reply.
I would like to know what are the next news, modifications, new characters, and if there is a mailbox to send ideas to the developers.
I must say this update was a great birthday present. Thank you
That's a wicked game over screen
i love it!
That was one hell of a bossfight. Looks very frustating.
I guess everyone is different, but to me frustrating is when the boss is a bulletsponge. And him - you can one shot him (In the forearm, the head... ), but the trick is to do it safely. In pure theory this bossfight cound be done under a minute, which is often the case on easy difficulty.
@@Kubold He ABSOLUTELY is a bulletsponge. He can easily take 5 sabre swings in the torso and then trade you in one shot. And I think having to trudge through his armor stage over and over just do die to his last is also sponginess in a way.
@@greengo6489
Examples of me one-shotting this boss on hard difficulty:
ua-cam.com/video/wSPEEZaZI7A/v-deo.html
9:31 - oneshot
11:30 - oneshot
12:25 - also oneshot, but a double hit, so I lose
12:56-13:06 - in two shots
13:31 - one shot
Like any other character in the game, his body parts each have different "health". His torso, where he has this thick hardened steel plate has the most. His head and the right forearm - least. Aim there to one-shot him every time.
Next, since you can't actually hurt him, but he can hurt you - in case of a double kill, he wins. You should only attack when it is safe to block or avoid the afterblow, or even better, when he can't retaliate. For example use attacks in tempo or punish his whiffs, or win a measured and controlled cut exchange.
If you keep dying over and over - change your tactic. Some characters do best when keeping their distance and sniping for that hand hit. Some characters do best when you just press forward and mash the combos. The trick is to know when to start the attack and at what distance.
@@Kubold It is quite _possible_ to get him in one hit, yes, but on hardest difficulty more often than not it doesn't happen and I've hit him more than once even in the face and he kept going.
It's also very hard to actually try sniping the hand or head because his guard is excellent and due to his size he has long reach, plus dodging.
I finally got him on hardest difficulty last night and he's quite the ordeal to be honest. Overall after a whole bunch of runs my conclusion was that staying aggressive works better than letting him do what he wants. I didn't try on Marta and Marie too much so maybe they need to counter attack after all, don't know.
My first post was a bit out of frustration but thanks for replying anyway, the game is a lot of fun overall and is one of a kind 🤺
@@Kubold I usually, though I don't play as often as most, just get back, and then find an opportunity to rush forward and stab in his torso with a sword. And repeat. Until he loses his armour. It takes some time but is more reliable than trying to aim for the weak spots.
Its great to have armor in at last. Cant wait for armored PvP.
U know you're fucked when even the developer doesn't want the smoke.
Великолепное обновление! Босс крайне суров и внушителен, настоящий шляхтич.
Does this mean there will consider an armored duel mode made like the time you considered First Person view? How interesting things will go moving forward if so.
This game should be release on PS 4 console
Any console can work just right now It is not possible for right now
Poor Gedeon. As if his past trauma wasn't enough..
Glad I'm not the only one who had a tough time with him
I normally play Kalkstein and tried without success to beat Samuel. I switched to Marie and spammed her cheesy thrusts to best him.
6:45 - is there any link for this music track?
Kubold vs Samuel? That's a boss against another boss 😜
Nice coincidence, I was just fencing outside with a girl for 30 minutes today, really missed HEMA and Hellish Quart
I like to call Samuel "Jinsamuel Misihima", lots of reminders to the Jinpaichi boss fight hahaha.
Jokes aside I like the boss fight and I love the game. Oh, btw if we want to tell you about bugs, how should we do it?
Since the last patch Samuel has this fun bug where he twists his wrists in bizarre and impossible ways.
First Boss: Cuirass and helmet.
Second Boss: Full plate armor.
Please give Marie her hair
Świetne, tak jak na to patrzę, to jedyne, czego tutaj brakuje, żeby nostalgia uderzyła aż za mocno, to plansza z lasem bambusowym z pierwszego Bushido Blade, jeżeli masz już taką zrobioną a o niej nie wiem, to się dowiem xD a jeżeli nie masz to to była by bomba hehe, świetna produkcja !!
i am glad its in polish, it makes it more immersive
Where's hood skin for father Zera? Please add asap.
so close, game looks amazing
AWESOME IDEA!!!
Managed to beat boss Samuel on my 2nd go with Isabella! Great fun!
@10:26 Get up Gedeon. Now is not the time to pee in your pants!
challenge accepted, Marta and I will beat this guy. But wow! he looks so cool! the armor, the scenery the music, everything is so menacing and I love it!
I was surprised when I saw the little cinematic. This guy is scary!
love the new boss fight, really had to earn that win :D
Jedna prośba - zatrudnijcie proszę kogoś żeby nagrał porządnie głos Samuela, bo niestety i jakość nagrania i dykcja, i sami brzmienie głosu strasznie boli :(
Dlaczego nie został puszczony film z Samuelem!? Pytam poważnie. Bym wiedział, że został dodany miesiąc temu, bym grę zaktualizował dopiero wtedy, nie teraz xD (grę śledzę, ale patrzę przy właśnie większych nowościach puszczanych na kanał, 30 godzin to chyba i tak dużo przy tego typu grze w stanie na dzień dzisiejszy xD) Po prostu jedna wielka uczta dla oczu, jeśli chodzi o jego ataki - co jak co, o ile z Jackiem trzymam się od samego początku, to teraz chyba się rozejdę na rzecz nowej postaci. Trochę też szkoda, że nie dostał w ramach alternatywnego stroju tego żupanu od bossa-Samuela teraz, ale no.
Ale naprawdę, pierwsze wrażenie miałem, jak właśnie zobaczyłem go jako bossa - te jego młyńce, łał. Później się zorientowałem, że ten, cóż, na pierwszy rzut oka „żul” to właśnie on (wtedy imion nie skojarzyłem) i zacząłem się nim bawić. Najpierw na sucho na treningu po prostu zobaczyć, jakie ma ataki, naprawdę ładne a przy niektórych to aż zachwyt poczułem w brzuchu - mimo że mówimy o manewrach, których brak byłby zwyczajnym błędem pokroju 2+2=5, ale to nie umniejsza temu, jak bardzo finezyjne czy pełne gracji są te „machnięcia”. A później zaczęła się gra, zabawa z tymi postawami (których osobiście, prawdę mówiąc, jestem przeciwnikiem*, rozwinę poniżej). Moje zdumione i soczyste „... o kurwa” mocno przeszło czat głosowy, kiedy odlewem ściąłem Żerę w sumie dosyć nieumyślnie. Postać po prostu mistrzostwo.
Jeżeli można by było, prosiłbym więcej wrzut, o co większych nowościach w Hellishu na YT - niekoniecznie w postaci filmu, nawet wpis z obrazkiem na społeczności jest wystarczający.
* - a dokładniej różnorodności, że taki Jacek ma tę postawę podstawową i daleką, Samuel czy Maria natomiast dodatkowo mają górną i dolną a Izabela z Gideonem mają zestawy ataków zależne od tego, którą stroną stroją - wszystko jak najbardziej historycznie na miejscu i wręcz „ciekawe urozmaicenie”, tylko teraz pozostaje takie pytanie, czy np. Jacek z Barabaszem nie powinni też dostać tych dwóch dodatkowych postaw (a w szczególności Jacek); oraz wtóre, ważniejsze pytanie, odnośnie do ujednolicenia postaci, bo teraz po prostu jedne postacie są łatwiejsze do „wymasterowania”, inne trudniejsze (i mówimy o, moim zdaniem, sporej rozbieżności) - i teraz pytanie, jak to może wpływać w przyszłości na balans trybu wieloosobowego, a nerfienie ataków tych „łatwiejszych” postaci zupełnie minie się z sensem gry. Fajnie byłoby pooglądać jakieś turnieje w Hellishu, ale oglądanie, jak całkowita większość gra, powiedzmy, Jackiem czy Marią (załóżmy, że miecze długie zostały zakazane xD), bo meta i bilans trudności do efektywności, to może z tego wyjść dosyć wtórne widowisko.
Is multiplayer still not available?
You can aim for his feet too! But with that you have to beat his HP out of him normally lol
Even if you let the longsword characters use the mordhau grip, he seems pretty difficult to defeat.
Evil husar? Burning village? It’s some sort of a russian nightmare level?😂
Anyway, wcale nie było słychać kwestii Samaela, jego słowa giną w dźwiękach otoczenia. Pomysł na bossa w zbroi - genialny.
I mean, Samuel was burning Ruthenian villages all around, so XD About the sound, it worked all fine for me - but then, I had worked with the sound options on my own, because my headphones loves to make all the stuff way too loud.
Maa Shaa Allah!!! The new boss fight is amazing!!! Also, the armor mechanic is chef’s kiss, Allahu Akbar!!!!! Quick question, what does the Procedural Feet Stabilization setting option do?
Can you play as the hussar? It would be really cool dueling a friend with the hussar while your friend also plays hussar
Yes, Samuel is playable, although with no amour. Everyone else on the entire roster isn't armoured either in duels (Other than Kalkstein (16th Century-ish German arming sword fencer) wearing a Fencing Doublet (Which really makes no difference in the game, it's just part of his attire)).
@@Zetboi thanks for the answer
Jego zbroja jest strasznie twarda żadna szabla go nie przebije - właśnie szabla ... może by stworzyć postać posługującą się nadziakiem ?
I can't wait for this to be released on console. My poor laptop can't run this game at any FPS higher than 10 :/
I almost beat him as Alex on the highest difficulty. I put it lower and beat him far easier just to see the outcome. Will his unarmoured outfit be added later as a customisable?
What a nice update.
It would be nice, if You add knights too in later updates.
Knights in plate armour were already kind of 'decommissioned' around the technology level that Hellish Quart seems to have. What you see on Samuel (hussar armour) was already a rarity worn by elite troops. Sure an occasional breastplate over quilted armour could do, but fully armoured would be quite unlikely (and very inconvenient to walk around and start a surprise fight in).
Would love to see a samurai character in the game, he'd be perfect, he'd have a semi unique weapon with the katana and a semi unique fighting style and overall standout
Who was the winged hussars in the thumbnail
Hey, that's totally wrong, I've seen lots of Hollywood movies and armor doesn't work that way! It's like paper, won't stop any blade!
Nice work as usual. If only you could go back to give us another set of FPP melee animations for unreal engine 😁
Alex’s stance looks similar to capoeira
Будет ли у Самуила скин гусара?
Can Marie finally get facial expressions?
kubold, I am a fan with more than 300+ hours of playing time. I have some opinions,
I think the action of pushing the enemy away with hands is unnecessary. Pushing away will cause the attacker to be unnaturally interrupted by the attack animation, I know that sword fighting can easily cause dogfights at close range. But I think it is enough to have a melee attack, for example Isabella's attack with Pommel and kick animations are smoother, and after the melee attack, she can match the next move by herself. Rather than just keep pushing away and dying as long as you get close.
I absolutely love this game. This is art, please keep up the great work! Thanks! :D
Gedeon is the easiest one to beat the boss. You can still rush close and sucker punch him.
Please add flail and other medieval weapons, why ? because will be more fun...
will there be a 12th century samurai in the game?
bro please add a jannisary character or any ottoman character please it will bhi great as the game is from that era
i will be very happy
I am sad you added a Hussar but he is not playable :(
I almost defeated the boss on the 3rd difficulty, got him 2 times, then he got me 2 times and it was game over :(
Ja tylko czekam na porządne multi, i wtedy się zacznie gruba jazda bez trzymanki.
CAN YOU MADE YOUR GAME FOR PS3 ? (and keep updates working on ps3 of course) ? ?
And i was thinking about creating a character that is almost myself in the game - i would like kind of alot - i got Real personality i are remeberable nothing similar to others/ unic style - but i not rich - canot get because the money !?!
It looks really cool and promising. However, I think it is a real shame that historical accuracy was sacrificed in the design of Samuel Zborowski in favor of what looks cool. Wearing a cartridge pouch over hussar armour is a "reenactionsim", something invented by historical reenactors which weren't practiced back in the day.
He also wears leather gloves with wasn't something at all popular within Commonwealth. Especially in combination with armour, at least not before mid-XVIIIth century.
Then there is a problem with the hussar armour which is a Skórkowski type which, again, only appeared in the early XVIII century. If this part of the story isn't set during or after the reign of August II then I am afraid it is completely out of place.
I suppose his armour is consistent with the saber he is using, but in such case, he still should not be wearing that ammo pouch and gloves.
Nitpicking.
@@douglasknupp4574 In the case of every other game this would totally count as nitpicking but in the case of this game, I think my complaints are justified.
I mean, Kubold went the extra mile to ensure a lot of details are accurate. Scanning authentic clothing, making sure all weapons are not only historically accurate but also used in a historically accurate or plausible way (aside from obviously silly characters like Father Żera).
The author of this game obviously cares about little details and history a lot.
Although on second thought, you may be right, I am probably nitpicking. It is a game, after all, gameplay and the "cool factor" take precedence.
@@kamilszadkowski8864 I see both sides of the argument. But if you play Samuel's storyline it may make sense that everything that goes on isn't 100% accurate or realistic. Including the fact that villain Samuel is unusually tall. I don't want to spoil it here if you haven't done it yet but it seems like the "canon" storyline out of the bunch based on the ending.
@@Subutai_Khan Yeah, I've done it already and you might be right. Putting it in this context it actually makes sense.
I really like the new boss but Samuel's VA is very unconvincing as a blood-covered, battle-hardened man. He could do with his words not being so crisp and properly said, with more intention behind them. As it is, he sounds like a character, which could be what you are going for - this being a story from a book and all!
Few months late, but cutscenes have a tiny "placeholder voiceovers" written in the lower mid. So I suspect it'll be changed at some point.
If the developer, the one playing the game the most, can't beat the boss, then how can anyone compete in a game like this? Is it just random who wins? This doesn't seem skilled at all.
dev would surely play the game a lot but certainly not the most
it's players who play the game the most, and while I can’t speak for all players, I have beat Samuel many times
hard, but certainly not impossible
Hope this comes to consoles!!!!!!
Piękna gra, ale nadal brakuje ważnej rzeczy, prawię nie słyszę bohaterów.
