TechLand has a new developer diary video about sword fighting in Hellraid.



Developers of Hellraid work hard on the game's melee combat system. This video contains an interview with the game's producer, shows a medieval sword fighting training carried out by members of the ARMA-PL association and presents glimpses of gameplay.
More information.

Excellent hit feedback on that skeleton!

I had to save this video it was so instructional, since I'm doing something similar for my game as well. Envy that giant motion capture studio / training hall and their fight instructors.

Reminds me of the motion detection work that was done for The Witcher; although gameplay wise I'm not too sure what to make of this - for some reason it has evoked my memories of the Witchhaven series. :)

We definitely do need to see more well crafted melee systems in the tradition of Dark Messiah to help evolve this game-play style more.
