Dev Blog #5 Combat

It's a tutorial map from Chivalry. So much fucking effort, wow.

True, but it looks like the combat is a great improvement. To me playing Chivalry always felt like trying to wade up a river while drunk.

Mele Battleground is the best idea so far and by far, how it will end up we can only guess.
2nd in line would probably be Life is feudal. But not sure how well it will go with such a horrible fighting system and low amount of equipment. And no large scale battles as in strategus.
Everything else is just to kill time until Mele is out. Games without purpose like Native.

But its hard to follow game with no cookies and very rare updates. Would be interesting to follow process even if its small things. I hope chadz preparing something big for next update.

I think they may have scraped the whole idea of blogs and just put all their time and effort into the game. As long as the game is playable ASAP without sacrificing it's quality of course.

How much could a one-monthly short video or text+screenshots possibly cut from the development time?

I find the system they used in the upcoming game Mordhau very well though:

His point about realism at the end should be considered by all CRPG players, especially by those who love to pull it out to justify a personal dislike of something.

Every second counts!

It seems like they are changing too many things to be giving specifics about the game. Maybe in a bit more time things will start to be a little more concrete and they can set out a steady flow of updates/blogs.

Possibly, but still would be nice to see anything even a screenshot from the world map or characters doing something other than fighting.

I think the focus for now is on combat, but what do I know...

We saw some sawing wood animation in the background in the first of the Belfast devblogs.

Mordhau just strikes me as a improved chivalry. Melee has that RPG aspect, where as, some of these other games are just combat focused.

Light RPG elements cRPG offers is enough for me tbh. Not into Strategus or grand strategies of that kind. Combat comes first everything else after. If Donkeys focus is on game systems like Life is Feudal where you spend more time gathering resources and building stuff than fighting, then it's not a game for me.

Based on what I saw in latest video, Mordhau is much better than Chivalry, which is ultimately arcade game for simpletons. Mordhau seems to have everything from Warband but much improved. Combat finally looks natural and realistic, unlike Warband which is complex but looks awful.

Edit: Would like to see singleplayer campaign in Mordhau like the one in Kingdom Come. Maybe even co-op. But game for austists like cRPG Strategus, no thanks.
