Exanima
Melee combat system aficionados, behold hither! And see a nascent series of livestreams of video game going by the name of Exanima!
Unfinished, yet accessible to play for many moons, a diminutive party keeps their mettle and bring forth bemusing medieval melee experiences, should sounds of clanking and clothing bemuse thee, as they do me, admirer of sounds of space in other audio art pieces.
Hypertexthero Exanima video list:
- 6. Beyond the door (story beginning)
- 5. Precision in chaos (expert practice complete)
- 4. The weight of the swing
- 3. Finding the rhythm (novice practice complete)
- 2. Double-wielding & music improv
- 1. Physics vs. my sanity
The beauty of Exanima is it doesn’t let one “fake it.” Being present with the physical movements, in the moment, is necessary for progress.
Further notes shall, by the grace of the gods, befall upon this page!
- Change view with middle mouse button (MMB) held while dragging mouse.
- Scroll wheel zooms in and out.
- V to place camera behind you.
- Double-click left mouse button (LMB) and hold second click for overhead chop.
- Hold Alt and click for thrusting attack.
- Click LMB just right of opponent and hold, then quickly move mouse left for a powerful swing from the right, and vice versa for the left.
- “Your character is subject to physics, your inputs must work in harmony with them.”
- “Let go of LMB at any time to perform a feint or abandon your attack to defend instead.”
- “To deliver significant damage you must land clean hits with the correct part of your weapon.”
