Turkish Janissary Coming Soon
A new fighter is almost ready to join Hellish Quart's roster. The update should be live at the end of the week.
Update 2025.04.14.0
FIX:
- Zera: code quality pass
- Fixed a bug that caused the hit detector to be disabled for 1 frame when the opponent also hit
- Highlands arena: fixed a bug with wrong Building icons showing on Level Selection screen
TWEAK:
- Zera: shorter recovery on sword impact in most attacks
Update 2025.04.10.0
FIX:
- Marta: fixed a bug with her weapon duplicating when dropped
- Isabella: Fixes in Movelist
- Marta, Marie: Less stiff muscles
Update 2025.04.07.0
FIX:
- Fixed a bug where sim-attack slomo would trigger in Survival mode anyway, even if you turned it off in Options
- Connor: fixed a Movelist mistake
Update 2025.04.06.0
NEW:
- You can now set the quality of the water shader to "Simple Water" in Options. This might add a few more FPS on "water levels" (1%-5% more - but this might be the difference between 55-57 and a stable 60 fps on low-spec machines, for example)
TWEAK:
- River, Siedliska: Used a faster terrain shader
Hotfix 2025.04.04.1
FIX:
- Fixed a bug where the game would freeze when trying to load the Highlands Ruined Castle arena in Arcade, Survival, or History Buff mode
- Samuel, Samuel Boss: fixed regression: a bug where using Long Guard + A would break the input
New Fencer: Connor
Armed with a basket-hilted broadsword and a targe, he’s deadly on offense and nearly unbreakable on defense. Clash steel in a brand-new arena set among the dramatic Scottish cliffs.
This update also brings two fresh music tracks inspired by Scottish folklore, pulling you deeper into the Highland atmosphere. Connor’s fighting style is bold, complex, and relentless — a true test of your skill. Ready to master the Highland way of the sword? Jump in and give Connor a spin!
Update 2025.03.03.0
FIX:
- Father Zera, Isabella: fixed regression, where the attack range animation blending did not work
- Marta: fixed regression: Cloth not turning on in the final build
- Jan: attack animation variables - paying off some technical debt
TWEAK:
- Sim-attack slo-mo feature: you can turn it on or off in the Weapon Type menu and the Story Mode menu now too, as well as in Gameplay Options
- Sim-attack slo-mo feature: added a "clock" sound cue and a little exclamation mark UI icon, to make it more obvious that the time slows down on purpose, to show the incoming hit or miss better, and not because your PC can't handle the framerate
- Sim-attack slo-mo feature: turns back to normal time right after the active frames of the attack finish, instead of a pre-set amount of time (the obsolete option to set slo-mo time is gone from Options too)
- Sim-attack slo-mo feature: has a 5 second cooldown, to prevent it from happening all the time, if both fencers choose to attack simultaneously all the time
