Update #42: Weapons and animations!

Oh yeah, why is a mace considering a trusting weapon? You don't usually thrust with a mace, you normally just bash and swing it. I guess it depends on type of mace it is, you could probably trust with a morning star though. These are the things I wonder.

I'm surprised this has this many posts. Not trying to sound like a jerk, but the only bit of new info here is the bullets being used. I can't blame the team for that though demo mining spoiled the fun.

Good point. I didn't even think about the piercing armor thing.

Yeah, i guess that's right. Not everyone looked at it. I guess I'm aiming it more at the people who have looked at it. I figured some of the people in here have, and they're acting like they haven't. So it was curious to me. MAYBE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO LOOKED

I didn't read the mod thread either, lol. I think I saw the first few posts and that was it.

Aren't the weapon categories in the demo equip menu in-game anyway, though?

Well also: should they base their updates around the fact that they knew people would mine the demo and find all of that, or continue on as they planned with the assumption that the bulk of people seeing the updates either dont know how to mine the demo or didn't see videos like that?

I'd say that while there are a few people bummed out that the update was about things they'd already seen thanks to cracking the demo, the bulk of the fanbase has never seen any animation besides the sword, kick and katana.

Pacing the updates is gonna be tricky from here on. After all *if* the team still wants to launch in march (a BIG if) then we have 7-8 updates left: one of which would be the Steam beta. When one looks at how much we've actually seen over the last 16-ish months, they've kept us hooked with very little meat: a boss here, a couple enemies there, a couple songs, one character etc. They've really done a good job of keeping the tease satisfying whilst hiding the vast bulk of the game. Even the E3 demo was just the opening segment: two weapons, two songs, and what, five enemies and a boss?

Granted I'm expecting at least one push back to later in 2017, which would mean more updates. I have to wonder if the next few will be pretty light so they can play a longer game if it comes to it.

EDIT: playing it safe the next few months is honestly a good call. If they DO launch in March (and the launch is successful without major bugs etc.) then they will have played a master hand with keeping people hype without spoiling much. If they have to push it back, well then by playing it conservative they will have left plenty of material to sate us with as they work towards the launch. 

Looks good, except if guns use different types of bullets and have different varieties of the guns themselves, the stats may vary quite exponentially. In Circle of the Moon the gun fired very slowly, however in Dawn of Sorrow it fired rapidly. :p

I expected some news about the prequel mini game, for example a screenshot and release date this November.
The weapon types and animations look great. Good to see a whip! I just don't like guns for Igavanias, but it is not like I will have no choice Thanks for the nice update, anyway, I always look forward to them as they make me excited and eager to play the game.
