Hey everyone, we are holding a survival mode streak contest on the First Cut subreddit. If you are interested please check out the page! Streak challenge Info
someone help me, my game stopped working suddenly, I installed the game and it worked normal and after I closed it, one day later I went to open the game again and it just crashed when I opened it, and it's still crashing, every time that I open the game, it shows the image of that red spiral circle and then it crash, please someone help me, I love this game but I can't play it
Hi, does it give you an error message? The usual reason for that crash is a missing DirectX update (see the troubleshooting section above the download), but the game can also be false-flagged by an anti-virus.
The game also seems to check for these installations:
VisualStudioDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat WindowsSDKDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1
It might be worth checking those locations although I'm not very knowledgeable about how it works.
The error that appears says '' First Cut.exe has stopped working '', I updated my directX and it still didn't work, I tested it with other games and apparently this error only occurs in your games, but it's all my fault, since I have a weak computer and many games don't run on it, I just don't understand why my game suddenly stopped working, however, I will keep looking for other attempts to get the game running on my computer again! Good luck with the game's development, it looks amazing!
Did you try simply deleting the game and downloading it again? Maybe the files got corrupted or damaged somehow. Also try to install Visual C++ packs, although I don't know which one in particular the game needs. I'm guessing 2012 versions by the folder path, so I'd download Visual C++ 2012 x86 and x64.
Hi, guy. I loved the game, and I have some suggestions, I don't know how to communicate in English, so I'll use a translator. Well. 1 - To be able to choose the climate/environment/time of the scenario that will fight because sometimes an epic climate appears, for example in the waterfall, has that INCREDIBLE blood waterfall. 2 - As much as new weapons are legal, I think they would be very complicated to apply, as well as practically changing the entire system. However, I think the use of two swords would work, since they could work as follows, it has a double defense, like, up and down, and defense in the middle, but when it uses the double defense it could kind of have a certain time of pro-combatant weakness of a sword attack in the middle. I think it made sense how it works, I hope.; ~; 3 - cosmetics would be cool too, like flowers in the kimono, or flames, or sword changes, something else that would be cool to add, is power by different color on the bottom and top of the kimono. Well, that's all. I want the translator to translate everything right, and congratulations on the game, I'm addicted to it.
The new Fatigue system sounds awesome man and I am seriously excited to try some custom backgrounds. Thanks for a great new update and I hope you had a fun Halloween.
I seemed to have run into an issue so far. It seems that my game is running much slower than normal and there seems to be less smoothness overall compared to the 2019 version. Just thought I'd mention that.
If the game is running slowly it might be the old 'SleepMargin' issue. Check the troubleshooting section. I'm pretty sure I'd already changed that setting in the 2019 version but I forgot to tweak it again when I compiled the new one.
Edit: So I was able to get the game to 60 by using the nvidia software to scale it up. I think this work around is okay for me for now but I didn't have to do this before which I find interesting.
Someone in the comments posted a tutorial on how to play it through Steam Remote Play, I think. Officially, you can't play online, or not yet. The dev stated that he would like to do it if he were to release it on Steam and such.
pls update the game this is the best game i have ever tried pls make the game multiplayer so more players will join and add new weapons if not that pls add a story mode
Hey, man! I love your game and I made an account just to write to you! I've played it with my girlfriend for hundreds of rounds already, and I'm pretty sure we'll be playing it for thousands. It's an easy to learn, hard to master game that you can play on and off for years on end, and the short time investment required for a session makes it great for those with busier lives that maybe just want to feel like they've played something with a loved one that day (That's not me, but I can see the value because my girlfriend sometimes asks to play this after she comes home from work at 23:00. We've played dozens of games together, but this one is perfect for that purpose.).
This is coming from a guy that finished hundreds of games and that also spent probably over 30.000 hours in competitive games like For Honor, DotA, Titanfall 2, CoH etc. and after all that experience I STILL think that your game is a gem! I've had more fun with this than with recent AAA titles!
Now I'm not a game developer and I don't know what it would take, but I really think you should try to release this at least on Steam and GOG for around $5. All you would have to do, in my opinion, are 3 things:
1. Add a quit button. 2. When you get the rematch/return screen, make it clearer which one is selected by maybe adding an arrow before the one you selected. I intuitively thought it was the blue one, since it pops out more. 3. There's a bug in this version that the second player can't change clothing color at all, it's always a pale green. The rest of the customization settings work correctly. I tested it on 3 different computers to make sure it's not an isolated issue. If you don't have the time to check it out, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me where the game saves customization settings, so I can maybe change the color manually from the config file or registry, since me and my girlfriend will be playing this for a long time.
If you release it and the game takes off in sales, then maybe invest some extra time to do some other things you want to do, but they are not absolutely required. I'm also a freelancer in another field and a serial procrastinator and perfectionist and trust me - it will never be perfect for launch for your own standards, but it's great for other people, and that's what matters!
I will personally contribute with $60 to this page if you make these changes. It's not a big amount, but my intention is to show you that people value your work and maybe encourage you to release it on some platforms. If I'm willing to pay $60 for it, then there are certainly other people that are willing to pay $5 for it.
I hope you see this message. I wish you all the best!
Hey man, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Thanks for writing all this, it's always encouraging when someone has had fun with one of my projects. I actually created this game so my friend and would have another fighting game to play so it's great you're enjoying the multiplayer.
I appreciate your thoughts on the future of the project too and my intention is to someday create a more polished variant for a commercial release. I'd ideally like to get some kind of online working first though.
Those changes sound easy enough to fix up and I'll try to address them sooner than later this time around. I had a small patch planned months ago with some extra control options but I ran into a few technical issues that roadblocked me. I've been working very hard on a singleplayer project that will hopefully be ready to demo soon and that has been eating all my time lately.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to me! I wish the best of luck to you with all of your projects! Just take care not to overwhelm yourself with too many, I know I have this problem sometimes.
I'm looking forward to your next update! My girlfriend will be very happy to be able to change colors! I offered her my starting position, but she already got used to the right side of the screen by then.
For us, First Cut is awesome because I'm much more experienced at games than my girlfriend and I just smash her in most competitive games, but in this one she will always win a decent amount of rounds and feel good about it (we usually play to 15 or 20 wins a few times in a row). The one hit kill system and quick attacks are what make it possible, making the skill gap between us smaller. Sometimes she even beats me when I spend a few rounds practicing my blocking to give her an extra chance. When we played Mortal Kombat 9, it was not fun for her because she would very rarely win a round, but in First Cut we're both having a blast every time we play it, and we play it with visitors too.
for some reason my game isnt opening anymore, i try to open it, and show that inicial red screen with that red circle, and then the game stop running for some reason, please someone help me
Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Does the game give you an error message? From what you mentioned it sounds like it could be an anti-virus blocking the game or a problem with DirectX. Do other games work okay?
This game is amazing, and tbh I really think that a lot of people will enjoy it! The only thing I would add is maybe some post-kill dismemberment stuff? For example, say you kill your enemy and he falls to his knees. You could then proceed to do a mid height slash and decapitate him. Idk, just a thought
I created a online multiplayer guide. This method requires steam but it is completely free with pretty good latency. I apologize if the audio isnt that good but I kept the guide very simple and straight forward. Hope this helps you guys!
Finally got around to making the Subreddit. If your interested please join https://www.reddit.com/r/FirstCutTheGame/ ! The sub is meant to be a place where we can come together and discuss this amazing game as well as hopefully figure out a way to play online multiplayer ( Parsec might work for now) . I am definitely open to suggestions as well since I have never moderated before.
Love this game so much. But how the crap do I beat the Master!!!!! I've only one once with luck. I wanna kill that Master damn it!!! (literally after I said that I killed him 3 more times. So nvm lol I got his asss)

Ahh okay Ill give that a shot and report back!
Looks like that fix didn't work for me. I
Edit: So I was able to get the game to 60 by using the nvidia software to scale it up. I think this work around is okay for me for now but I didn't have to do this before which I find interesting.
I would say the game was good because im sure it is but i cant play the game, how do i fix the
FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation
ShaderName: shColorReplaceBlend2
D3DXCompile failed - result
called from - gml_Object_obj_menu3_Draw_73 (line 97) error
The fix is a few lines above your comment, in the game description. Update DirectX. There's a link there.
thank you
Is it possible to make this game online? other than that it's a great game to play
Someone in the comments posted a tutorial on how to play it through Steam Remote Play, I think. Officially, you can't play online, or not yet. The dev stated that he would like to do it if he were to release it on Steam and such.

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Does the game give you an error message? From what you mentioned it sounds like it could be an anti-virus blocking the game or a problem with DirectX. Do other games work okay?
i got a virus
._.
how did i get a virus from a itch.io game
i didnt so might be ur browser idk
You most definitely did not get it from this game.
VERY NICE
the thing is its windowed besides that its awesome 👍👍
if you go to setting you can make it fullscreen
the game is very nice and background and the noise and can u make it to be able to full screen?
bruh, go to settings and change it to fullscreen
well didnt know
i love this game greatest game to play with death metal in the background:)
really like this game, really helps me calm down when im stressed
would be pretty epic if you keep updating it and adding new stuff
just amazing, no words to express it honestly. i freaking love it. every aspect of it.
Great game I would love if you continue expanding it
the scenery is very beautiful. I was fascinated. I missed an animation of the samurai wiping blood from the sword. congratulations for your work
I wish you luck (and good health), really love the game and I hope you will expand on it!
This game is amazing, and tbh I really think that a lot of people will enjoy it! The only thing I would add is maybe some post-kill dismemberment stuff? For example, say you kill your enemy and he falls to his knees. You could then proceed to do a mid height slash and decapitate him. Idk, just a thought
Well, I found this game randomly, I uploaded it on my YouTube channel
been playing it for hours now its so Good !Seems like you can beat any AI by just spamming attack as neither hit when both characters attack. Should probably fix that?
I created a online multiplayer guide. This method requires steam but it is completely free with pretty good latency. I apologize if the audio isnt that good but I kept the guide very simple and straight forward. Hope this helps you guys!
Hey man, thanks for putting this together. I might give it a shot myself.
Bruuuh its insanely cool! Nice visuals, nice combat, tonns of blood everywhere what else do you need? Good job, keep it up
