Nidhogg |OT| GET THAT DICK (Steam, PC)
- Thread starter Clawww
- Start date
Another thing I noticed is that when there is lag, the game pretty much refuses to recognize more than one input at a time. So you can fence and all that, works fine, but you cant jump while running (sometimes you can!) or throw your sword, or cartwheel. 
It's dumb, because the game is fucking awesome. It needs more Euro players D:

Awesome stuff! I like the nods to the art style of the game.

So check it:
I know a lot of people were complaining about how the Matchmaking requires a mouse. Well I just found out that the trackpad of the DS4 solves this. I don't know why I didn't think to use it before. Its awesome. When you go into the matchmaking screen just enable the touchpad and use it it like a mouse to enter into matchmaking.

I found out today the game was made with Game Maker and took 2+ years to make/release.
I paid $15.00 ~ £9.31
Although I love the gameplay and asthetic, I'm very disappointed for the amount of bang I got for my buck.
I really feel that this game's full potential could be unlocked with the following fixes/features/improvements:
Someone send messhof a small indie dev team in the mail please?

- Support for different resolutions (aspect ratios), VSync, Anti-Aliasing.
- Optimized (bug-free) netcode, cart wheeling doesn't work online
- A Level Editor (Steam Workshop).
- More game types, (Duel, CTF, 2v2 Duel, etc.)

Haven't seen anything on his twitter or through steam community posts, so your guess is as good as mine. He did say in an interview around launch that he planned to continue supporting/improving the game over time.

I kinda fell out of it, to be honest. I got super slammed with a new Dark Souls character and now Broken Age is out. I might not get back to nidhoggin' for like a week or something. I also started playing Starbound as well.
I played some Nidhogg at work last night with 3 other people. We decided to do a little tournament consisting of a round robin where everyone played each other twice followed by a double elimination bracket. It worked out really well, as there was more pressure to perform. Everye had an absolute blast.
I wish the game had better built-in tournament options, though. I'd also like to see a sudden death mode where you can set the number of rounds. After each death, a short timer starts before the next one.

Thinking of buying Nidhogg and taking it over my friends house so a few of us can play. They're not usually into the indie stuff so hopefully they'll enjoy it.
Plugging in a ps3 controller works ok with it right?

High ground defender situations are the worst. They can just sit there and not have to budge.
Exactly.
Castle sucks. I've had friends play games that go on for 20-30 minutes on Castle because of the choke points.
Mines > Wilds > Clouds >>> Castle.
Played this yesterday for the first time. Wonderful stuff! Really like the fastpaced back-and-forth mindfuckkery. Does your stance (high-mid-low) influence your reach? I get the Bushido Blade nods people have pointed out - also immediately made me crave a Nidhogg-styled game with Samurai/Katana's.

uh-oh, a bump. Now the mods will move this to community.. Noooooooooooooooooooooo...
Local is amazing and quite honestly some of the most competitive gaming fun I've ever had.
Online is bad, but can be tolerable if you know someone who has low latency to you.

Here's an old bump but a worthy one:
Messhof posted a Steam Discussion topic yesterday about working with a netcode programmer over the past 3+ months. They've been overhauling the multiplayer's netcode. And everyone who owns the game can try out the multiplayer beta branch. All you need to do is go to Steam Library > Nidhogg > Properties > Betas and then select beta from the dropdown. There is no password needed. You'll download a small patch and then you'll be good to go.
I just played with someone where we shared a 100ms~ connection (yes, now it shows ping!), and let's just say it was way more stable and playable than any same region connections I experienced with the game at launch. There were some minor stuttering quirks, but I am more than optimistic with how this is turning out.
I had originally feared this game would be lost in the ether due to its spotty netcode hurting recommendations. I'm so glad to see messhof coming back to this game to support it after so long.

Your link doesn't work?
I wish he patched the controls. You can only use the analogue stick, so any "retro" controller with only a digital direction pad won't work out of the box with it.
Also where is the Linux version? The Steam Machines are due "soon", and I need my Nidhogg on it
