Hi Phyerboss
thats really good questions.
1. it will be other forms of weapons ..hammers clubs and others .. the plan is to make this weapons slow but powerfull. We dont plan to add bow crossbow for the player but for the enemys.
2. thats a really good idea .. i will think about it ..at the moment you can only use one handed sword and shield.
3. i dont think so ..but you will have other options to chage your fighting tactics ..i think about heavy slow attacks
4. you will found magic scrolls with powerfull magic or other items to use.. (novas , fireballs, arcane , ice.. summoning scelletons, bombs) ..at the moment the plan is you can only carry one scroll or item to use.
overall:
Our Problem is that we are a 3 men team that make this game in our free time .. beside our other real life
and we want to make the game good with a good balancing and we want to finish the development in 1 year. we dont can make the fighting system so complex like in dark souls or bloodbourne ..we dont have enough time / money / skill
..but i will do my best for a unique and nice gaming experience.
