    Swordcery: Prologue is a rogue-like, melee-based action RPG. Test your mettle (but also your metal) as you discover and unleash the power behind a multitude of magical swords to defeat an otherworldly Celestial evil! Your quest will challenge your reactions, lead you through treacherous biomes, and pit you against the most formidable enemies and bosses.
    FIGHT THE CORRUPTION
    A giant blade has plunged into the Earth bringing a hail of smaller blades along with it. The calamitous sword, stabbed into the mountains, seems to be draining the power of the Earth itself and with each passing day the rain of swords grows heavier and heavier. To undo this vile corruption, you’ll play as Colt, an unwitting hero who has gained the ability to wield the fallen blades.

    Thanks so much for playing the demo Retromation! It was awesome to hear your thoughts on the game so far. Pretty much everything you had an issue with, we're planning to fix and polish for the final game!

      Game looks absolutely great but I do got a question since you're here. Can't remember if he suggested it but do you plan to include combos for the different types of weapons? Maybe as a reward for using certain type a lot or collecting scrolls/learning from nature spirits. I think it'd be way too much work to program in individual combinations of every weapon, but it would feel weird without them since you have a melee weapons focus simply by the nature of the game.

    • @templedoorgames2541

      @@DemonKing19951 Thanks dude! and yeah! so currently there are unique light combos and heavy combos for each Sword Class (ie: katana, shortsword, titan sword, etc.) But we're actually planning to implement a way to transition from light attacks to heavy attacks and vice versa. Maybe even unique attacks that only happen when going from one to the other. For example doing a Light, Light, Heavy combo on a shortsword might end up changing the Heavy attack of the shortsword to a retreating fade away slash etc.
      Also in the works is a sword wheel for quick switching that may also enabling combos from one sword class into another. Our game isn't intended to be super combo heavy but we definitely want to increase the ways players can transition from one thing to another and overall just be more flexible. Leveling up sword classes as you mentioned to unlock different attack combo finishers or swap out attacks is also a possibility.

    This seems right up my alley. I love the concept of Gungeon but I don't like bullet-hell shooters. And I love swords/melee style RPG stuff so this seems like the perfect mix. It's got qualities of Hades/Gungeon/Deadcells/Skul in the rogue like elements. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game grows through development.

    29:00 The Songblades and the scribe 'Aych-Beoh' (read: HBO) are definitely a reference to Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire) and the fact that the toggled effect becomes less powerful, just as GoT got worse over time.

    It looks like the sharpness mechanic is similar to mhw in a way (the whole fighting mechanic in fact, also very different in a way but it reminds me of it), so every time it goes down a level you deal less damage. If reto found it out and I missed it than I’m sorry…

  • @straypaper
    @straypaper 2 года назад +3

    1) This feels like Monster Hunter for now in the sense that battles are more technical. Instead of banking on reflexes to respond on your toes and being free to combo and dodge cancel whenever you want (and have to), you line up the enemies to dodge at the right time or look for opening to combo at the right time because you can't attack and dodge at the same time and are punished for doing the wrong one at the wrong time, which is not bad.
    2) If you want more identity for your game, then it definitely can come from the fact that you can carry multiple swords. I think the combat needs to change to be faster, and I don't mean make the Titan Sword swings faster, but like Retro said in the video, incorporate sword switching in the combo and enable guard/dodge cancelling. No point in toolboxing multiple swords if you can't integrate them with one another. Currently the awesome swords only feel like spares you keep when your main sword runs out of durability. This shouldn't be so. We should be able to utilize all the swords at once and make actual sword combo out of multiple swords, not have them be spares.

    I know these feels. I have many more criticisms of games I really enjoy because I like them so much and I want to see them reach their full potential. I always hope game devs see this as coming from a good place and not that I dislike their game.
    Also it's their game in the end so all that really matters is that they stay true to their vision.

    Father Johannes = Papa John confirmed.
    Edit: @20:45 10/10 flavor text. Best I've ever seen I think. It makes it funnier that it's like 3 times longer than the other ones too, I really hope they expand the epic tale of the kingdom of papa john, maybe his downfall can be that he can't stop saying a word that he's not allowed to say (except make it a magic incantation or something).
