  • This is Blade and Sorcery, one of the most popular Virtual Reality (VR) fighting games on the market - and unfortunately it is dying this year. Today we will look at the reasons behind this decision for the developers to end support, what this game signifies to the community, and what the future holds for the VR industry.
    🎧 I highly recommend watching this video with headphones 🎧
    For more information on the 1.0 Update and what it means for Blade and Sorcery, you can read this post from the developers:

    Hey, Baron from Warpfrog here! Thanks for making this video, Dizzy. I remember you asking about that stuff, so it's cool to see the video now, and thanks for including the context form our chat.
    Yeah after 5 years WIP it's mad to think of a world without B&S active development! You said it in the video, but to reiterate, 1.0 marks the point that we consider the game "done" but it doesn't mean we would never touch it again as there will surely be patches and so forth, but it would be considered the last major update. After this point any updates we do would be for fixing or stabilizing the game instead of adding content, so there would be no more heavy handed changes that would break mods going forward, etc. This means hopefully 1.0 (or 1.2, 1.2, whatever) will bet he best shape the game can be in for new players coming into the game and for modders/regular players who can mod without worrying about the next update breaking their mods.
    In the past, updates have usually been new features added to the game engine or new content. With 1.0 we wanted to finish with a bang, so the 1.0 update is like a new game dropping on top of the old game engine. From a studio / marketing / team sanity perspective it's completely nuts and why it's taking so long to finish, but we really, really wanted to make this one special for the final major update. 😄
    What I really wanted to comment on though, is for anyone wondering why not keep developing B&S forever because there is so much more that could be added (which is the gift/curse of the game being a sandbox simulation!). The behind-the-scenes is that we have really hit a wall with Thunder Road, which is what we use to make B&S. Kospy was a first time rookie developer when he started coding B&S, and then we added a bunch of other devs contributing to the code, so after 5 years of crazy spaghetti code it has become a huge pain to work with Thunder Road and even changing or adding the smallest thing takes FOREVER to do. You change one thing and the game breaks in ten other ways, so you dev something for one day and then spend 10 days fixing the thing that broke.
    This basically means we hit a productivity ceiling with Thunder Road, so we would love to move on to Thunder Road 2 (for our sanity if nothing else!), and make a new game on this lovely engine which will be so much faster and more pleasant, and it will raise the ceiling on what we can achieve. It's a bit like how games go Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim instead of just adding infinite expansion packs or updates to Morrowind. They are all RPGs in the same world but sometimes you gotta brush off the canvas so to go higher on the next game with the experience you learned on the last game.
    If you are unfamiliar with how game development works or what I mean by "spaghetti code", here is a visual example - smartgrowth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/street-grids.jpg
    If you look at the city planning and roads layout in places like Tunis or Paris, these are places where civilization had roads grow organically around the population as the city grew over many centuries. But compared to New York which is a more modern city, there was all the knowledge and foresight of modern city planning at the time, so the layout is a nice and clean grid style. So in any city you can ultimately get to where you wanna go, but in Tunis you are going go through a maze of streets and backroads first. This would be like ThunderRoad!
    So with ThunderRoad 2 we would have all the benefit of 5 years development in B&S and a chance to rewrite with less spaghetti code and iron out some long nagging issues. This means development of game 2 can be faster, more efficient and more ambitious.
    Cheers, everyone!

      This gerenally made cry this is probably favorite vr game and what got me into vr into the first place. This is one of those games that no matter how far down the gutter it goes will always have a very special place in Mt heart and I will always come back too with same happiness and eager to play as the very first time i played thank you warp frog for this game. Proving you don't need a battle pass or any such things that all you need is a good delvpoer team that wants to make a game somebody out enjoys so they can have fun I would have happily dropped 100 bucks for whatever the first build of the game I played was easily. Thank you so much.

      Hey Baron, we've spoken before on reddit about the state of the game and adding new animations. I recall you telling me that there are people on the team with a HEMA background, and while you all love sword fighting, you didn't want to put in the resources required to add more fighting animations.
      To this day, I still think that is a huge mistake. The game, as impressive as it is, lacks real progressive challenge. Once you learn the counters to the AI's limited moveset, the power fantasy is largely broken. While I'm excited to see what crystal hunt brings to the table, I can't help but feel all that work on a skill tree will be wasted when there's nothing challenging enough to warrant all these new abilities.
      It seems like it's too late to add in what I would have considered a basic complete experience (AI that can wield two handed weapons, dagger animations, more attack options), It's not too late to add explicit mod support for custom AI animations and behaviors. This isn't new content but is instead new back-end functionality, and could be delivered in an update post 1.0.
      This would allow modders to "hold down the fort" and add in these features that are very clearly missing from a game all about medieval weapon fighting. It would also be nice if modders could add custom spells to enemy spellcasters. Right now, every difficulty and AI mod simply speeds up the animations and makes the AI dodge endlessly, which shows that the modding system is lacking severely in this regard. I hope I can have fun playing your game again sometime in the future.

    What are you talking about? When a game is finished, nothing more is added apart from minor patches. You're acting like this is the first time an early access game has been fully released. The game isn't going to "die". Do new games that come out completely finished with no major content additions die instantly? Additionally, the modding community is going to be more than enough to keep this game fresh for years to come, look at Skyrim.

    Modder and game dev here - this won't kill BaS. If anything, it'll part ways for a new age of modding, since old code will no longer deprecate. There'll be more time for 1.0 modders to create community documentation for modding tools and make it significantly easier for new modders to get into scripting. Blade and sorcery, for the longest time, isn't entirely a game - as a sandbox this open to modding, it's also an engine of its own. I'm sure there'll be plenty of mods for it in the future. Hell, the game is in a place at the moment where someone could build an entire RPG using the features supplied, if given the time and motivation.
    Crystal hunt will finally bring BaS from a sandbox to a game, and it's a welcomed update on my behalf. Good things can't last forever, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Warpfrog and the modding community have in store for us in the coming years.

Warpfrog's always been a breath of fresh air for the game development space, and even if official updates are stopping, i don't think this game'll ever die out completely.

    @Guardian179 Před měsícem +1

    Welcome to 2024, where a game coming out of Early Access, and being considered "complete" is viewed as "dying". I'm going to sound so damn old here, but there was a time when games were released on physical media, and were just complete at launch. No continued support, feature updates, added weapons or maps. What you got in the box was all you were going to ever get out of that game.
    Now, we have created this culture of gamers that can't understand that a game can be good, while also not being a live service game supported well beyond its release. It's funny, because it doesn't apply to all games, and you really see it in early access titles. Once a game accomplishes what it set out to be and leaves early access, it should be able to considered complete. Otherwise, it will get tied up in development hell, where feature creep causes the game to never actually releases. Look at Star Citizen for the most glaring example of development hell.
    Additionally, once you have a solid modding community, the game can go on forever. Look at Skyrim or Arma to see what a healthy modding community can do for game longevity.

    Single player games don't die, especially games with regular content updates. They just get finished. You don't look at ARC and call it a dead game because it doesn't get truckloads of new content every tear

  • @thepredhulkchronicles5934

    Now that the game will be practically finished, modders will begin to slowly increase their skill and then mark my words, well have full on game remakes in B&S, especially since the boss battle with the golem means that non-humanoid enemy framework is coming.

    Your choice of title implies a finality that is quite misleading. Singleplayer games don't "die" when a game fully releases. Now, I too am feeling bittersweet about 1.0, but the future of Warpfrog will be better for it, and B&S is complete.
    Luckily the titling was not an indication for the video itself, which was great!

    This is an outrageous take for a game that is mostly focused on mods and sandbox. The game was good enough without the tweaks and any other features that the game lacks are brought to the table by the huge and improving modding community.

      @elijah5573 No, playstation is just thinking about enabling pcvr support for pc users. They aren't mixing at all. Blade and Sorcery is built on an old engine that the team doesn't even use anymore, and the code is a mess apparently, so I really doubt they would ever go through the headache of dealing with all of that again just for another port. Probably a sequal though I bet

    The game isn’t dying by any means. The fact that you are starting out your video like this is actually crazy. You shouldn’t mislead like this just for clicks my guy. The game is officially releasing, not dying. They will also still update the game with quality of life updates and what not to keep it stable. Plus they are also updating the SDK and more people will make mods. My tip to you would be to not “shit where you eat.” Don’t just make a video saying the game is dying, then expect to also make videos on it when it releases, you will quickly find that people won’t be watching.

    • @dizdimension
      @dizdimension  Před měsícem +1

      Hey there, I appreciate you stopping by giving your honest feedback.
      The intent of this video is to document and celebrate the work they've done so far and alert people that the game is nearing its end point.
      I made active efforts in this video to discuss the fact that the game will continue to have a vibrant future with mods. However, I also stated that the advancement of hardware and the lack of dedicated support will cause it to become outcompeted in the modern VR Game industry. That is my opinion. But the information about the developers ceasing to support this game after 1.0 is the truth. You can refer to the official post from the developers in the description or see the Baron's pinned comment on this video.
      Again, thanks for stopping by and giving your input. I think it's easy to breeze past the important information I discussed when you fixate on the term "dying." I do agree with you in some part though, it may have been more accurate to say that the developers are "sunsetting" the game. But that doesn't clearly communicate the reality of the situation and the departure from their previous support.

  • @bogyma7915

    I bet the next one will not be fragmented like Nomad. Better enemy animations. Maybe even some sort of pairing system that can be activated. I hope the second one starts off with a story mode. But besides upgrading the engine and new animations, I can't really think about what can make this game better. It's already so awesome.

    As someone who was excited for quite some time for the possibility of non Modded native Multiplayer since U6 or so it is quite sad I won't be able to fiddle with a random NPCs Physics around his left foot while my friend beats it senseless across the head. I mean, with Mods that could be done, but I am not interested in IP sharing neither is the janky Desync all that worth trying out.
    But I am glad that after all that trouble they went through for a fun game, they finally get to take good long deep breaths of non-spaghetti code for their next project, which I am hopeful means that they will dive like crazy into update/content projects, which ultimately means an even better new game later on.
