I used a ps4 controller but this will also work with any other kind of external device, here's what you do:
1- Connect your controller to your computer via bluetooth or cable
2- Open steam and activate big picture mode
3- Go to settings → Controller → Controller settings and make sure your controller has been identified(I recomend naming it so you can recognize it more easily)
4- Go back to Controller → Base Configurations → Desktop Configurations
5- From there you can now customize and set the buttons according to the First Cut controller scheme you are using.
If you want a more visual aid I found this video helpful:
Finally, a game I downloaded from twitch for my games folder that isn't going into the 'hgames' subfolder. You should know this is high praise on this website.
absolutely awesome, makes me wanna play Ni Ten Ichi Ryu (Two Swords, One Heaven) by Photek with this game lol
love seeing this game getting updated, reminds me of Bushido Blade and Hellish Quart (fun fact : there was a Samurai called Hasekura Tsunenaga who went to the city of Rome around the 1600s, so maybe we could possibly see a samurai in HQ, or maybe when we see mods support)
One of the best games I've played in a while, I feel like it would benefit from an in game tutorial because the combat is so complex but the complexity makes the game really fun for me. 10/10
dude I mist be on something because when I dodge down I still die by the enemies down attack, but when he does the exact same thing he pulls it off? I don't understand this logic, and also my attacks are really slow some times. Ok if I have a lot of fatigue, but when the round just started!? I read how the fatigue stuff works, but sometimes it looks like some times the things that supposed to give fatigue doesn't. And the things that shouldn't does, either I have a old version (I got this game 7-6 days) or this game has a lot of bugs.
You're not tripping, you just have to dodge with your sword looking down so you're invulreable to side, and upward attacks, but the ai tries to switch do an attack from above, switch stances to counter.
For the low fps, check Drasnus's solution, I'll copy and paste it here for ease of use:
The game is running at half-speed (30-40fps consistently, feels sluggish and slow):
Try opening the options.ini file in notepad and changing 'AlternateSyncMethod' to 1.
You can also try running the exe in compatibility mode.
Also try installing Visual C++ 2012 x86 and x64.
And finally, turn on visable fps so you can see if it's the fatigue or just your computer. Also, it's buggy because it's more of a demo or initial version of the game, if you check the update logs you'll see Drasnus is constantly working on the new version. Hope this helps :)
ok thanks dude this helped a lot but ngl doesn't fixing the game by yourself just a bad idea? because who knows what could happen, and also doesn't itch.io have a standard of what games can be uploaded here? Not trying to insult them or anything but its sorta a mess.
Well yes, you have a point but it's still a prototype, quoting Drasnus: A small fighting game started in 2017.
It's currently more of a barebones version but Drasnus's working a Premium version which he'll release on steam idealy around november-december. You can see the progress he has made in the art passes, which is actually really impresive(It's right above the comment section).
So, with time, we'll get a nice, polished and refined game and I bet you it's gonna be worth the wait.
PS: sorry for the repition, I forgot I told you about the artpasses before
Amazing, it's a gem as it is. I hope it gets expanded as much as possible since the core gameplay is so good and could maybe be squeezed for a lot of content aside from the duel mode.
I mean, practice really does makes "perfect", I usually try to play the game as much as possible in my free time during classes and I've gotten quite good, to the point where I've gone from almost giving up on the game because I didn't understand how to even dodge, to the point where I have beaten the Master 100-65 at a quite consistent rate.
It just takes practice and learning the algorithem. Just make sure that before you advance in difficulty, you are profficiant in beating your current opponent. If you can barely beat the current AI, you're most definetly not ready for the next one.
(Heads up: Fighting the Master AI is not practice so you can then go fight your friends, the AI has a pattern you can memorise. You can't anticipate what a person does like you can a program. So try doing both, fighting your friends and the AI so you can get the best of both worlds). Hope this helps :)
Yes i saw the updates, it looks hella cool ngl if it was paid i wouldn't be able to get it because of my parents. but still the dev can do what ever they wants.
Edit: and also why doesnt he upload the new version, doesnt seem like everyone will be mad because they love the game. And also he can just leave the current version up so they can have there cake and eat it
Well, he wants to finish it before making it public so it isn't a buggy mess, he will leave the free version up though.
Also, unless your parents are super strict they'll let you get it. Grindologist(Drasnus's "payer") actually said that it'll be super afordable and pretty much inexpensive.
This game is my favourite game from itch.io i just beat the hardest difficulty bot in a first to three and made my little bro cry when i destroyed him. Very much recommended.
I see a lot of people have been asking for a Discord which is fair enough. I don't often use Discord myself, and I generally prefer to keep updates somewhere easily archived and accessible, but I'm sure it'd be convenient for people to get pinged whenever I post something. I'm going to update the blog some time soon with more of the new content so I'll consider making one. Thanks for playing.
Currently the art passes are our only form of insight besides the comments left, a discord would be awsome but it would take time to set up so let's see what they decide to do
CyB0RG200731 is right, I'm currently using the blog on this page to post progress. I think cross-posting, and smaller more frequent progress updates would be more valuable going forward though.
when you don't do anything, the opponent doesn't kill you. they just repeat horizontal slashes which are automatically blocked. Is it supposed to be like this?
Hi, I just did some testing. It seems to occur with the Master AI because it attacks so quickly that it doesn't have time to position itself closer before swinging again, and it keeps getting pushed back by the block. I couldn't replicate it with the other AI modes. This is an oversight, and I'll patch it some time soon. Thanks for the info.
Me and My friend loved this game so much, we are making a discord to host tournaments for it, just wanted to see if you be interested in joining, of course we called it the unofficial server
Great gameplay and visuals. Could you please add a CPU vs CPU option that would make really interesting fights to watch and makes replayability more. Also would make great Youtube AI fight series.
This game is beautiful! I often go into the game and cut enemies to pieces. Very nice backgrounds and characters, very much looking forward to new updates. And by the way, how much will the premium version of the game cost? What will it include? (There may be errors because I write through the translator)

so grea!
I keep on getting virus scan error, it is a thing that I have to fix or some error game files? because on itch.io downloading other games are fine
If this appears
Press More info and then run anyway should appear below and pressing that should let you run the game.
If you meant something else, try specifying your problem a bit more and maybe I or someone else can find a solution. Hope this helps.
How do I get my playstation controller to work in game?

Slick as a hell. Love all the little animations for each kill.
amazing, 2d bushido blade
Can you turn off blood?
There will be an option for that in the full release on Steam.
One of the best games I've played in a while, I feel like it would benefit from an in game tutorial because the combat is so complex but the complexity makes the game really fun for me. 10/10
Glad you like it! There will be a tutorial in the full version that will be released on Steam.

or maybe u post first cut on steam
Drasnus can we have naginatas and other weapons next update please
is the new thing out already?
Not yet. It will be on Steam when it's ready.
oo
Really Like this!
Amazing, it's a gem as it is. I hope it gets expanded as much as possible since the core gameplay is so good and could maybe be squeezed for a lot of content aside from the duel mode.
So well made game, Totally recommend it
more fun if you play with someone
Yea dude because if you play anything more than normal its impossible to kill them.
I mean, practice really does makes "perfect", I usually try to play the game as much as possible in my free time during classes and I've gotten quite good, to the point where I've gone from almost giving up on the game because I didn't understand how to even dodge, to the point where I have beaten the Master 100-65 at a quite consistent rate.

This game is my favourite game from itch.io i just beat the hardest difficulty bot in a first to three and made my little bro cry when i destroyed him. Very much recommended.
It's covered by the fps counter but I managed to get 14 kills on the master ai in survival.
Any chance on a discord for updates on the next game? Seriously cannot wait.
I see a lot of people have been asking for a Discord which is fair enough. I don't often use Discord myself, and I generally prefer to keep updates somewhere easily archived and accessible, but I'm sure it'd be convenient for people to get pinged whenever I post something. I'm going to update the blog some time soon with more of the new content so I'll consider making one. Thanks for playing.
Do you already have a place where you are currently posting updates?
Currently the art passes are our only form of insight besides the comments left, a discord would be awsome but it would take time to set up so let's see what they decide to do
CyB0RG200731 is right, I'm currently using the blog on this page to post progress. I think cross-posting, and smaller more frequent progress updates would be more valuable going forward though.
Amazing game! I love the pixel art and the fact you can turn more gore on and off.
10/10!

I think a coop campaign feature would be cool, but its propably hard to implement.
make a discord server for updates :)
I love this :))))
Me and My friend loved this game so much, we are making a discord to host tournaments for it, just wanted to see if you be interested in joining, of course we called it the unofficial server
Yeah, but it's all up to the creator, if you want it down, it's down, whatever you says goes.
https://discord.gg/hwnbnujz
Here's the link if you wanna check it out, right now, we are still in the middle of making it, so sorry for the mess rn
The invite expired.
yippie
Great gameplay and visuals. Could you please add a CPU vs CPU option that would make really interesting fights to watch and makes replayability more. Also would make great Youtube AI fight series.
Its fun and gory but a little short lived, that coming from someone who only played the free variant.
it would be fun if it wasn't the most inconsistent and annoying fucking game ever made
THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED
THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD

Goodness me it was so hard to find this game again after losing it the first time. Hell finding it the first time was impressive haha.
Same bro i just found it i had to look up 1v1 one shot sword game to find
This game is beautiful! I often go into the game and cut enemies to pieces. Very nice backgrounds and characters, very much looking forward to new updates. And by the way, how much will the premium version of the game cost? What will it include? (There may be errors because I write through the translator)
Under $10.
is there going to be online multiplayer?
It's not currently planned for launch but it's something I'd like to address eventually.
TOP, love it, my first donation to a free game, wish you could add at least one ninja in black suit. 😁
The premium version will have extended customization options.
Muito bom, te prende e suga sua alma até a fome ou o banheiro te tirar do pc
