TK's Tweaks: Age of Barbarian Extended Cut

[Tori Kamal]

My ongoing thread for tweaks to Age Of Barbarian

[Tori Kamal]

Thumbstick:
Allow a option where moving the left thumbstick on the joystick all the way to the left will trigger running. The left joystick is not currently usable as you really need to use the D-pad to run with any amount of control. However, the left joystick is much more comfortable to use than the D-pad. Or enable shoulder buttons, and use one of those to switch to run mode. Having the other trigger button be available as a block button also feels natural too.

Subtitles:
Allow toggling subtitles on and off.

Campfires:
Have a very brief scene or image (that you can easily skip) for when you camp. This is purely aesthetic, but it would be a great way to establish mood.

Jump Attacks:
I would like to have simple jump attacks added in. Where you can just jump in the air and swing your sword. It feels like that would be a natural part of combat.

Pickup Sound And Visual Cue
While gold does have a pickup sound and cue, most other items don't. Since you are sometimes trying to pick up items that are obscured or hard to see, it would be very helpful to be able to have an audio and visual cue notifying you that you have picked something up.

Achievements
Lizard Lord: Avoid an encounter during the lizard riding mounts chase in area 5.

Weirdly, the left thumb stick can be used to navigate the menus but not to control the character. I really hope this gets fixed. As i really don't like the xbox360 D-Pad. But otherwise they are good controllers.

I'm actually on the fence whether to refund it now, but if a dev can give me an assurance that it is something that will be fixed or looked at, i'll keep the game as i otherwise like the setting very much.

Additionally, you will notice that the Z-axis (triggers on the Xbox Controllers) cannot be bound to any controls.

CrianSoft is still busy/working hard on his next game, AoB ARENA. He plans to make it available on Steam this week.
I don't really know if he can get free time to work on your requests but I hope so

How to disable subtitles? which button on the keyboard?

[BridgetFisher]

Skippable Campfire scene would be very cozy! Since game looks mostly action this would be a nice balance.

Did the dev fix the non working triggers on standard xbox controllers we use for gaming? Is that an engine limitation or something?

Maybe for a "Dash" like many games do, they could make it so if the player moves right or left twice in succession that the character dashes to that side of the screen?

Pick up sound is really needed. How do we know if the character picks anything up with no audio queue?

Subtitle disable option plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just got the game because it looks great, the visuals are incredible and imaginative. Concept creation seems much better than the rehash trash coming out of many AAA studios like Ubisoft. Really hope the dev doesnt drop support on this game since many of us just got it or found out about it and it has such great potential of becoming a cult classic with its gameplay and visuals.

Yes it is a great game indeed. It is still supported. There is a dedicated thread for Bug. CrianSoft watchs it frequently

Dev Team is currently focusing on setting up the first DLC for this game, scheduled for the end of January, 2018. There might be a huge update when the DLC is released.

FIX item pickup!!!

Was showing this to friends. Intro was great, the story was awesome, everyone loved how gritty and real the game was. Then we started playing, chose the guy and started playing. Watching him pull himself off of that wood emplacement was epic.

Then someone complained about the bird sounds... Then more bird sounds, their quite loud and are nonstop at least at the start. Even went in a cave and those bird sounds kept going. Played some more and went in that hut with the items on the ground. Tried diff buttons and nothing worked to pick them up. Then crouched down and the item looked like he sucked it up his butt. Same with the next item, now everyone was laughing which ruined the serious tone of the game so we turned it off.

The controls are a joke. They don't respond fluidly. Try to run it takes several goes on the Steam Controller anyway. When you start that duel you are frozen and can only move when the old guy hits you. ALT F4.

I met this issue with my walkthrough with Sheyna using a xbox360 controller too.

This issue is shown on video below at 00:40

I will try to report it on the dedicated thread for bugs
