Studded leather! Chain mail! These provide good protection from bash damage but can be pierced. They currently all have the the same stats but will be tweaked. Plate blocks bladed weapons well but provides little protection from heavy impacts. Heavier armours provide better damage protection overall but slow down character movement. Armour UI https://imgur.com/Wte2fyW.gif With multiple armour options with their own benefits and negatives the armour ui gives you options to mix and match or replace damaged pieces. Holding Y, Δ or ALT opens the menu, movement or aiming (left stick or mouse), changes the selection and pickup/drop (RB, LB, LT, RT, Q, E) will drop the selected piece. Added Sledgehammer https://imgur.com/CRW1M1T.gif Forest Trial and Sword Challenge updated! http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25221188/e918f5d7658ec6c5a9b0577ee3a148a2eb7697a4.jpg Auto throw https://imgur.com/tqLJEEs.gif You can now auto throw by holding both triggers (overhead stance) then releasing both.

Alexey has moved on to a full time teaching job and we have all moved out of the old Frogshark HQ! Danny is now living and working from Sydney Australia and I am still in Auckland New Zealand. Danny and I are now back up to speed and completing the next update, just final few things left to finish it off. Really appreciate all the feedback on the new input modules - thanks again! After 0.5.0 we are planning to get back into expanding the single player / co-op - can't wait! We also participated in a New Zealand indie arts festival called Chromacon this previous weekend. It went really well!

Steam Controller(s), Gamepad(s) and Keyboard/mouse controls all seamlessly work together - both for multiplayer but also if your gamepad dies (for example), you can instantly pick things up on a different device. We still have the eight player limit in place for practically reasons. The cool thing with the current official default settings is that picking-up-as-a-dual-wielded-weapon has dedicated input buttons for each hand with the left and right grip buttons. This makes dual wielding weapons a lot simplier without any sacrifice and means you don't have to take your hands off of aiming while doing so. There is still further work to be done to complete kb/m, Steam Controller and finalize gamepad support. Most of this work is to do with UI (dynamically showing the correct input hints based on players' device(s)), updating the how to play section, adding appropriate settings, improving the menus etc. It would be awesome if anyone would try it out and let us know what you think!

If you have set Steam Big Picture to treat XInput devices as Steam Controllers; SWORDY will currently only recognise one.

Fixed bug where respawning in camp was not working. Fixed bug with character pooling system keeping objects around. Fixed bug with character look direction and velocity prediction objects not being removed. Fixed bug where characters falling out of bounds would not be removed. Improved gamemode arena selection memory when switching modes - @Majeflyer. Hey everyone! This is a patch for some minor bugs in version 0.4.0. These fixes should bring minor performance improvements - particularly for longer matches, or matches with many players. Discord We've created a Discord server for Swordy updates / support / bugs / chatting with us. I've found Steam notifications not great for urgent communication. Discord seems to be quite awesome, popular, and there is also a mobile app that sends message notifications so I'll get proper notifications if anyone needs help! We'll test it out, all going well I imagine it will replace the existing forum. Please join! All of our work lately is going into version 0.5.0. 0.5.0 sneak peek: Keyboard / Mouse Keyboard and mouse input support is up in the beta branch for testing. Thanks for all the feedback so far. All feedback so far has been positive. We are still interested in further feedback if anyone has more, or new people are willing to give it a go. The Discord server will be useful here - its awesome that people are adding me on Steam to give feedback (feel free to), but having discussions take place where the other devs can see too would help. Steam Controller Full Steam Controller support is basically ready to push to the beta branch also. I am just waiting for advice from Valve on an issue where I cannot update the public-official-default-Steam-Controller-config for some reason. Steam Controller, Gamepads and Keyboard/mouse all seamlessly work together, both for multiplayer but also if your gamepad dies (for example), you can instantly pick things up on a different device. We still have the eight player limit in place for practically reasons. There is still further work to be done to complete kb/m, Steam Controller and finalize gamepad support. Most of this work is to do with UI (showing correct input hints based on player's device), updating the how to play section, adding appropriate settings etc. Also minor fixes to menu interactions. White peak storm winds We are doing an iteration on the existing White Peak mountain arena to add environmental storm winds as an occasional murderous hazard. This is definitely our intent for new arenas (and improving the existing ones) to be more dynamic and interesting. New weapons! There are a bunch of new weapons coming and iteration on an existing one. We are not ready to announce which/what quite yet. Stay tuned!

Discord seems to be quite awesome, popular, and there is also a mobile app that sends message notifications so I'll get proper notifications if anyone needs help! We'll test it out, all going well I imagine it will replace the existing forum. Please join! All of our work lately is going into version 0.5.0. 0.5.0 sneak peek: Keyboard / Mouse Keyboard and mouse input support is up in the beta branch for testing. Thanks for all the feedback so far. All feedback so far has been positive. We are still interested in further feedback if anyone has more, or new people are willing to give it a go. The Discord server will be useful here - its awesome that people are adding me on Steam to give feedback (feel free to), but having discussions take place where the other devs can see too would help. Steam Controller Full Steam Controller support is basically ready to push to the beta branch also. I am just waiting for advice from Valve on an issue where I cannot update the public-official-default-Steam-Controller-config for some reason. Steam Controller, Gamepads and Keyboard/mouse all seamlessly work together, both for multiplayer but also if your gamepad dies (for example), you can instantly pick things up on a different device. We still have the eight player limit in place for practically reasons. There is still further work to be done to complete kb/m, Steam Controller and finalize gamepad support. Most of this work is to do with UI (showing correct input hints based on player's device), updating the how to play section, adding appropriate settings etc. Also minor fixes to menu interactions. White peak storm winds We are doing an iteration on the existing White Peak mountain arena to add environmental storm winds as an occasional murderous hazard. This is definitely our intent for new arenas (and improving the existing ones) to be more dynamic and interesting. New weapons! There are a bunch of new weapons coming and iteration on an existing one. We are not ready to announce which/what quite yet. Stay tuned! Keyboard + mouse input feedback request!Feb 8, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! I have pushed ~experimental~ keyboard and mouse controls to the Swordy "beta" branch. This will allow people without gamepads to play! Of course a kb+m player can also join in with gamepad players. It would be awesome if anyone would try it out and give us feedback! We went through a few iterations to get the mouse aiming to feel right. Quite happy with the current state focusing more on mouse intentions / directions than the exact mouse position - sort of mimicking a joystick. Mostly looking for feedback on: How mouse aiming + mouse UI feels. What you like about it. What you do not like about it. Anything you feel is missing or broken. To change branch on Steam: Go to your LIBRARY. Find and right click on SWORDY. Left click on "Properties". In the "Properties" pop-up window: left click on the "BETAS" tab. In the dropdown select the "beta" branch. Left click the "CLOSE" button to close the "Properties" window. Steam will then update Swordy automatically. Controls: Aim - mouse movement. Move - WASD. Left action - left click. Right action - right click. Pickup/drop - Q and E. Force pickup (for dual wielding) - CTRL. Dash - shift. Jump - space. Interact - F. Cancel - C. System menu - backspace. Pause menu - tab. The game should be fully playable with keyboard and mouse, but it's not ready for release yet. We still need to update the in-game signs and "how to" text to include kb+m (and other inputs...) - so refer to the "controls" list above. Settings will be added for mouse sensitivity etc. Let us know what you think! Updates: 2017-03-04: Added Steam Controller support to beta branch for feedback and testing. 2017-03-06: Fixed bug causing characters to not respawn in Deathmatch - also was causing the match not to end - bug was only present on beta branch. Fixed "Add Bot" / "Remove Bot" button input not setup on as action for Steam Controller. Fixed "Keep Input API" incorrect text layout on 4:3 screen aspect. Fixed game version text overlapping how to play text. 2017-03-09: Fixed Steam Controller bindings - all inputs working! Improved System menu. Added keyboard/mouse player enabled setting. Added mouse sensitivity setting Added mouse UI transparency setting. 2017-03-09: Fixed mouse not showing in map screen. Improved mouse UI and cursor handling. Fixed bug where on second return to map, gamemode navigation broke - bug was only present on beta branch.

Potions! v0.4.0Dec 23, 2016 - Community Announcementshttp://imgur.com/3Y7R7Ge.gif Version 0.4.0 EA Release - version 4 2016-12-24 Hair styles! Eyebrows! Beards! Added health potions! Improved AI - sense of self preservation. Improved AI - improved targetting. Fixed bug with AI getting stuck in air / on top of each other. Improved Music manager to be "game mode based" tracks. Fixed "SSAO" toggle in settings menu and renamed to "Ambient Occlusion". Added "Screen Space Reflections" toggle to settings menu. Happy holidays! Hope everyone is enjoying some time with their friends and family. Good time for local-multiplayer gaming :D We've added a bit more character and customizability with hair styles, eyebrows and beards on characters. You can play with different options in the Camp level. Health potions are a thing! Potions spawn occasionally in the Forrest Trial instead of hidden healing. http://imgur.com/MAe9zIa.gif Enemies will now try to dodge attacks, and try to evade and generally mix things up a bit more. With the improved AI targeting enemies will aim toward where they think you will be (instead of directly on you) - you can fake 'em out. We have made internal changes to the Music manager that will help us moving forward with music tracks in missions / connected levels. Previously music was linked to levels. Steam controller support is in the works too but not quite ready yet. We'll be pushing this to the beta branch soon for feedback. Enjoy! As always, let us know what you think! FrogsharkHair styles!

FrogsharkSWORDY Updated (Version 0.3.1)Dec 7, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsVersion 0.3.1 EA Release - version 3 - patch 1 2016-12-08 Stability improvements - fixed crashes related to events library. Champions mode change: if final players die at the "same" time no point awarded. Improved support for most screen resolutions/ratios (including super wide and portrait*). Added "how to dual wield" signs to Champions armouries. Updated game engine (Unity 5.4.3f1). Fixed black screen bug in results screen related to cleaving. Fixed minor bug with crown on Deathmatch restart from results screen. Fixed minor bug with cleaving during match. Fixed bug with bot count not resetting on restart. Fixed minor bug with Champions Helm trophy. Fixed missing collisions in Camp. Hey everyone. Another patch, another day! The major here is an improvement to stability, helping fix the random crashes that have happened in the past - turned out to be an issue with the events library we used. We saw moments in Champions mode were two remaining players would kill each other at the same time, it felt a bit unfair to award one of them points (because one died milliseconds before the other) when they are both now dead. We have changed it so that no points will be awarded in this case, and the match continues to the next round. We also noticed in some "Let's Play" videos in Champions mode, some players would not realize they can dual wield. We have added the "how to dual wield" signs from the Camp into the Champions armouries to help hint at dual wielding. Through fixing bugs related to screen ratios and ui, we have improved support for non-standard (non-16:9 / 16:10) ratios. Previously the Unity Canvas (UI) was disappearing in portrait ratios, this is fixed. The game is still designed for wide-screen but everything should work. Manual resizing of the window is now enabled. Also Swordy force adds 1080 and 720 resolution options even if not detected as options by Unity (portrait monitors). Plus the other bugs and fixes mentioned above in the changelog. As always, let us know what you think!
