Hounds of the Blade

[Guest]

Hey guys, ya know NanoCrisis? Wanna know why it was never finished? Well, because Inufactory decided to make this, Hounds of the Blade.

It looks, sounds, feels, and plays similarly to NanoCrisis. Although still in development, you download it at this website: http://inufactory.sakura.ne.jp

Click the download button and on the next page click the first link. In the next page type in "blade" (without quotation marks) in the first box and in the 2nd box type in whatever you see in the captcha. Hit enter and the rest should be self explanatory.

 

Additionally, you can english translations of the game in the ULMF thread here: http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=17582 

The latest translation can be found on page 151 (20141123 version of the game) by a user named Wessex (thanks man!).

 

http://inufactory.blog111.fc2.com/ is the link to the old development site. It's defunct now.

 

Controls:
Z=Confirm/Attack
X: Cancel/Skill
C: Jump
A: Dash
Q: Pause
F: Skills menu/ Game configurer


Enjoy.

Ah yes, how could I forget. Thanks!

Ah, this demo was INCREDIBLY short. But, it's much faster and more fun than Nanocrisis.

It plays hard and fast, with combos and jumping attacks and a skill button that does nothing. The enemies die super fast, the animations don't last 120 seconds, and armor IS USEFUL this time around.

A perfect learning experience from Nano Crisis, apparently, as he has improved on everything.

Be warned that, at the time of this writing, there is only one level with one sex animation and a game-over rape scene of sorts. It's confusing.

Good gameplay and a cute protagonist, and SKIPPING CUTSCENES. THANK GOD.

I'll be watching this one.

To me, personally, I find the game a bit too easy. The katana does 700+ damage (2 strikes kill all enemies). Double jumping 2 stories, super fast attacks, sprinting, as well as the fact that katana can strike both front and back regardless of where you're facing. Enemies come by the dozens and you are unstoppable. Even on the absolute highest difficulty (above very hard, enemies will take off 1/3 of your health in one strike and knock you onto your ass, bumps also incapacitate you) it's extremely easy to just stand there and win (the gun guy is a bit tricky, but easy to dodge). Hopefully the katana is only that strong for debug or other reasons. We'll see.

I don't think this demo is the start of the game.

 

All tho the only thing that irks me about his games is.... No nudity? I know she is wearing a mini mini skirt and a thong... But he should make it break off as your armor falls.

 

Just my opinion. And he might. Only time will tell.

 

But in nano crisis you were penetrated through your one piece.

This looks pretty good. Any english translation for this yet ???

[Daguy]

There is another scene now, two infact, after the first level. You can lose in what seems to be a simulation against a dummy. It will rape the PC after you give up, leading to the option to give in and end up in an... interesting (what seems to be blackmail) blowjob scene.

[Ark of Truth]

I prefer NanoCrisis to this one. Nothing like shooting your enemy with a gun, they have guns ln a game basedin the future and she's using a sword.

[Wisher]

I couldn't get the controls to works for this game as well as NanoCrisis. I tried changing them, but nothing worked. I just cant do anything at the main menu. Any solutions for this?

Unfortunately, I haven't seen or found any. Hopefully one will be created in the near future.

[loverslab987]

This guy seems to have made a rough english translation, but I haven't checked that out yet.

Its pretty good, if its the one i'm thinking of, though I got mine from Hongfire. Explains things pretty well and adds contextual sexay.

[Guest]

Just want to bump this thread to notify you guys that the dev has made quite a few updates to this game! I recommend trying it out again. Go here for an english translation.

 

Also, does anyone know if there's any way to tweak the damage of the katana? The player char is extraordinarily OP thanks to the uber katana and a bunch of other things. I'd think changing the amount of damage that the katana does would be the easiest change.

Is that upadate with fly level? And for being OP just hike up difficulty it in options

I've heard about some fly that they put into the game, I've yet to see it though.

 

And as for difficulty, the difference in difficulty between Very Hard and "Kichiku" (the hardest difficulty) is ridiculous. However the game is a cake-walk at Very hard.

Hi, i tweaked garbage-level a little. Added a rat probability to "easy" (left) location and Ziga(s) to right. Backup files have underscore in extentions.

(a hour ago posted it to ulmf)

 

i think it'll be good to make some 'statics' (as it is on testers-level) and to dig in scripts for something more clever than adding a line. Whoever want to try, take in mind, if you going to add new enemy, change not only spawn-script, but "preloading" script too (in my case it was SpriteLoading.gml). In my zero-attempt i had muzzle-fire and bullets without zigas themself.

So your edit adds more spawns?

 

 

 

Also, does anyone know how to get to the "fly" level?

after you get past the sewer level go back to the hunter office, THEN go talk to the dwarf character in the shop for the 'unoffical' assignment. Go back to ship and you'll see the 3rd landing zone on the map.

 

 

I also echo your sentiment that the game is too easy. Once I get over losing my laptop, the HD got cancer (sheds tear), I think I'll jump into trying to decompile and mod the game a bit. It kills me when you have to allow yourself to lose to see the content.

Do as Mrblack said.

At the left half of "fly"\"garbage" location one of possible flies replaced with tunnel rat, so you'll get approx 2..4 flies and one rat on a screen; at its right ("more complex") side i add two ziga's spawns with low probability, in game you will meet them not every time you step into this loc. -- but after abt. 6 attempts i got 2 around me just arrived there.

 

I'm not sure how bad-ends from added spawns will be calculated - did not tested them.

 

About "too easy" game - may be i'll find the way to tweak savegame for lowering pc-level and stats -- fex, to ~20% percent of current..

I'll tell you what it really needs.

 

Fixed hit boxes. Her sword shouldn't hit behind her. Better grabs, you shouldn't have to ALLOW a monster grab her. Rats are a great example they grab all the time, but only when you stand completely still do they land. Shield regeneration needs to be tweaked. Even after I allow a grab, shield is full before another grab. Health hits are fine on very hard. And I would like to double the flys in the fly level.

 

Just my thoughts. I wish I could post suggestions on the dev's page, and maybe send him a donation because I love the game so much.

Same here. I'm forced to handicap myself to enjoy the game (not a good thing!).

 

Also, sorry for your laptop man

I completely agree. Along with fixing the hit-box, the devs should also give rats either more speed or perhaps a temporary stun when they attack. Something to make them at least a bit more powerful so that the player doesn't have to literally stand there and wait for the rat to "grab" the player. More health would also be good (or have the player do less damage).

 

The dogs from NanoCrisis are an example of an enemy with not too much health but are a challenge to kill (so challenging that when I failed that level after killing 36 of them I threw in the towel and haven't picked up Nanocrisis since). I think that the dogs would fit even better as enemies here than in nanocrisis. Let's hope the game dev takes this or similar advice. This game has huge potential.

Hey guys, he just recently updated the blog! Does anyone know what this update is about?

[Guest]

Another update. It links to another site which may or may not have games on it. However there is no new update for HotB unless I'm mistaken and it's on that site somewhere.
