you get one from the secret zone if you interact with the obelisk at the begining while having light on and the interacting with the pulsing eye in the basement.
The other weapons are WiPs that you unlock through cheats, pressing F5 and then F4
I have no idea, you should be able to modify or delete files however you want. There might be some problem with your windows file permissions, so check that.
Really liked the game. I'm always excited when someone tries to mix things up in the magic department, gives me warm, nostalgic feelings for Arx Fatalis and stuff like that. Its cool to input your own spell combinations. Aside from that, controls are responsive and combat is crunchy and on-point. It never stops being hilarious to lure enemies onto traps. Maybe make them a bit smarter, so that isn't a failsafe go-to for any hard battle? Dunno, just nitpicking, the demo is solid in concept, and it feels like a living world, with the animal folks worshipping the Earth Mother, sacrificing blood and body to the great womb. So good luck onwards! Looking forward to seeing more of this.
I loved the demo and style of the world! It was great fun and brought me back to memories of playing DS2 on my dad's Xbox and raging at the Dragonslayer ^w^ Can't wait to play the full game! the only thing that pains me about it is that I cannot fund the kickstarter anymore >^< would've loved a guide to the world and the other goodies, need more Sang!
PS: After writing this comment I've decided I need more Sang in my life to an absurd degree, would it be possible in the slightest of chances to be able to buy the kickstarter content somehow? This has become my new obsession and I need more.
I hate souls games...yet I also played all the Souls games from Demon Souls to Elden Ring... Have I beaten any of them? Lol nope... The games are fantastic! I just hate getting angry...but I also really like a challenge... To put it simply, it's not the game's fault. It's merely a skill issue. This is a great demo and I love it so far, but also at the same time I hate it with a burning passion and I look forward to the full release.
What an excellent demo! The art, character design, music, world and story are all excellent and I can't wait to see how you build on all of it!
In terms of the gameplay, I think there is a lot of great stuff here. Even in just the demo, I love the build variety! Starting builds, different weapons, different accessories and effects, talents. All stuff I love.
Attack, heavy attack, spell, parry, and dodge are simple but effective core features for a combat system and I had fun with it. The effects on a successful dodge/parry are also great, firstly because it lets me know I was successful, and also it because it feels satisfying. There was also a good amount of enemies with different attack patterns and even a boss, which I thought were all a good difficulty. I also enjoy the spell system, and liked that you use magic in combat and for exploration. Even found a secret spell which is fun!
As for things I'd like to see improved, it's all stuff I'm sure you have your eye on changing anyway. One or two enemy attacks were a bit awkward to parry, and the stamina felt a little too restrictive. Its also a little awkward casting a spell in battle. For a game still in development, these are very small points.
I'm very impressed and had a lot of fun! Sad I missed the kickstarter, but I'll definitely be following this project from now on. (Also I can't find any donation links anywhere, but would love to chuck a few bucks your way to support you!)
Great art style btw!! Really hope to get farther into the game soon.
One concern: I'm definitely not a grinder but this game gives me major Crypt of the Necrodancer vibes with how hard the enemies are. I chose Ygraku as my god, so that definitely hinders my situation, my fault for that tho lol. The enemies doing so much damage so early on in the game is a bit much for new players, in my opinion.
The dungeon in the third checkpoint seems a bit clustered, as well.
In general I'm still getting used to this game only having played it for my first time for an hour straight, but I'm really looking forward to playing it again!!
I absolutely loved this demo. The combat is really nice once you get the hang of it and the mechanics strongly resemble a souls-like which makes it 100% better (in my opinion). The most I enjoyed were the character themselves (Npcs) and their design. I hope it meets further development and becomes a full-fledged game!
Wow, this game is interesting but challenging especially if you decide to choose the difficult mode(from the lizard guy) before fighting the boss. I chose the easy way guys.
Hi! i just played the new version but i didnt get any new content like in the pictures. i've delete save, quit the game and relaunch it but it still didnt give me new stuff. i've beat the boss like 4 times already :v didnt know what i did wrong
correct in my demo run i explain its compatible whit a xbox controller base on my exp. am a gamer from atari age so not much in to the keyboard mouse thing lucky i did not had to map the keys to my controller whit a program i only had use mouse for the rest and located skill points and level up my stats combat runs pretty well whit the controller
Hello, I have completed the new version of the game and I would like to ask a question and report a bug
1. This is about bugs, I had such a bug several times that after death in a place with toxins, my ghost is not there, and all points were lost, I have not seen more bugs
And the question is, the content that is shown on screenshots and gifs, is this for higher versions? Since I didn't come across this in version 0.26
Unfortunately, the bug arose on a new save, I replayed it not for the first time, and the bug was still there, I'm not sure if everyone has it, maybe it's just me
Hello, I have just played and finished the Sang: The Desert Blade Demo and enjoyed it very much and I look forwards to playing the full release. However, there are a few critiques I have for it though.
1. Now I play games with a controller as I am not very comfortable using a mouse and keyboard due to how spread out the buttons are and I always have to look down to be sure I press the right button as a result. I'm far better with a controller due to the buttons not being spread out and I know exactly where they are. While I'm thankful the demo works fine enough with a controller, the button prompts in the demo were only matched to the mouse and keyboard with nothing for the controller and because of that I did not know which prompt worked for which button on the controller. There were also certain actions I could only carry out properly with the controller and I could only do it with the mouse and keyboard which was the the items menu and the menu for the Alter where you can spend Soul Points to level up and regain health. Another one was that while with some things like talking with NPCs and interacting with certain objects like pulling levers, entering and exiting rooms, reading those books and other things, whenever I found a chest with an item inside for some reason it refused to open the chest when I used the controller and I could only open it with the keyboard. But since this is a demo and not the final game, I'll give it a pass for now though as I'm certain it will be ironed out eventually. Just so you know I used an Xbox Series X Turtle Beach Recon Controller when playing the game.
2. Another issue was that I lost track of where I was in the section of the dungeon that was very dark so the addition of a map would be nice too or is there one planned for the final release or is there one in the game and I'm just not yet aware of it?
3. Now this is not really an issue with the game itself and more that I just do not know how to save the game or I'm unsure if you even can save the game. Can you save the game and if so where? I tried looking in the pause menu and I did not find anything that let you save it or does the game save automatically or is it The Alters you save at? I played a bit of the game yesterday and reached one of those alters but when I opened it again I could not find a Continue option.
That's all the critiques that I have for now. I'll probably share more if I can remember anymore. I'm definitely going to play more of the demo to see if I can find anymore issues that need ironing out.
Other than that besides some things needing to be ironed out, there is not really a whole lot of problems with the game and is near perfection with what you already have with it in my opinion.
I very much like the artstyle (I can see you are based Hyper Light Drifter appreciators).
Here are my critiques:
1. PLEASE give us an option to disable chromatic aberration and vignette. I absolutely despise these effects.
2. The letterboxing during parries is very jarring and unnecessary.
3. No need for the "Press [button] to do thing" prompts more than once. They're unnecessary and negatively impact the atmosphere. If the player sees a lever, they'll understand trying to press the interact key next to it.
4. The dust effect when sprinting looks a bit silly.
5. Simple blade has a typo in its description ("it's" should be "its"), and Cutlass repeats "Pretty nice sword" over the entire description area.
6. Sang's response to Malak's second book would be better worded as "Whatever these priests were", not "Whatever were these priests" - the latter would be used for questioning.
7. The "spark" effect when cutting objects looks a bit out of place in the artstyle, in my opinion.
8. Similar to Sang's response, the first part of the Symbol of Poison description would be better phrased "Your weapon applies poison damage over time to your target, lasting 4 seconds." Would also be nice to know how much damage the poison does.
1. Lot's of these effect like Chromatic aberration and noise filter are gone and won't be in the next update. Vignette is staying but will likely have an option to be disabled in the future.
2. I agree it's quite jarring and will likely be gone in the future. The reason why it's happening is it's tied to some of the systems that make sure you can't move and are immortal etc.
3. Levers are pretty obvious I agree but there might be some more vague things like the drawing on the wall that you can interact with in the demo. I think it's fine as it is for now.
The grammar errors will be fixed towards the end of development as I will have people which's first language is english check it. Effect and all that will also be changing throughout the development .
Glad to hear you take polite criticism well - makes me even more excited for the game. The more games that give me the same dread and mystery of Hyper Light Drifter, the better.
In regards to the interaction button, perhaps instead you could have a simple interaction marker that floats over things when you're near them, like Hyper Light Drifter does?
First of all, I HATE the boss (probably because I don't want to turn off hard mode). Second of all, this is an amazing game and I love it you did an amazing job. And third of all, is this still being worked on and if so when will the next update/full game come out?
Hi! Next update will come with a Kickstarter launch. It's gonna be similar to this version with lot's of tweaks, bugfixes and new stuff but nothing new beyond the boss as this is a demo. You can follow my discord or twitter for updates. Thank you!
great game,honestly speaking i was shocked by the first boss that was soooo coooool! anyways i think theres something wrong with the game. The crates are somehow problematic and so do the iventory. When i press c it just dont show out. also sometimes i cant open a crate when pressing e as following the instructions, hope u guys fix this, cant wait the new update. also i hope to add a save and load system, cause each time when i quit the game, i need to start from the beginning. great game
Hi thanks for trying out the game. Not being able to open inventory or chests is a new one, I don't think that happened to anyone. Are you playing on ENG keyboard layout? If you have french or any other non eng layout it could mess stuff up.

dang i remember seeing an ad for the kick starter for this about a year or two ago on yiffer nice to see its playable now
haha thanks :D
This game is very good!!!
I really love this game!
Thanks a lot! <3
i've only beaten the game once with the warrior god and the ending made me really confused but intrigued for what could come next
Thank you for playing!
also how do get the other weapons? i only have the first 2
you get one from the secret zone if you interact with the obelisk at the begining while having light on and the interacting with the pulsing eye in the basement.
The other weapons are WiPs that you unlock through cheats, pressing F5 and then F4
Love the game! Looking forward to it!
i accidentally duplicated the music files and fsr it wont delete, any idea on how to solve this problem?
PS: love the game btw
I have no idea, you should be able to modify or delete files however you want. There might be some problem with your windows file permissions, so check that.
couldnt find freddy fazbear 0/10
I really love the demo even though I haven't really got into souls games. It feels like I'm missing a lot of good games :(
Is it ok if I share the vid here?
Thank you for trying it out!
Really liked the game. I'm always excited when someone tries to mix things up in the magic department, gives me warm, nostalgic feelings for Arx Fatalis and stuff like that. Its cool to input your own spell combinations. Aside from that, controls are responsive and combat is crunchy and on-point. It never stops being hilarious to lure enemies onto traps. Maybe make them a bit smarter, so that isn't a failsafe go-to for any hard battle? Dunno, just nitpicking, the demo is solid in concept, and it feels like a living world, with the animal folks worshipping the Earth Mother, sacrificing blood and body to the great womb. So good luck onwards! Looking forward to seeing more of this.
Thank you! AI is fine as it is, there won't be always traps to help you out haha.
(yes, Arx Fatalis was the inspiration for the casting system)
I loved the demo and style of the world! It was great fun and brought me back to memories of playing DS2 on my dad's Xbox and raging at the Dragonslayer ^w^ Can't wait to play the full game! the only thing that pains me about it is that I cannot fund the kickstarter anymore >^< would've loved a guide to the world and the other goodies, need more Sang!

Haha thank you! All I can say is maybe, it's lots of extra work haha. <3
Yes! Blessings upon blessings upon you! /^W^/ Have a great day!
I hate souls games...yet I also played all the Souls games from Demon Souls to Elden Ring... Have I beaten any of them? Lol nope...

Already rage quit within 30 minutes. Keep it up! :D

Hi! Thanks a lot for playing the game.
You should not pick Ygraku! It gives you -80% Max health which means everything kills you in one hit, it's for people that want more challenge.
THIS WAS LITERALLY SO MUCH FUN!!! :D
this is what i've been wanting out of a furry game! I can't wait for new updates!!!
Thank you <3

Great game btw!
Hello!
The demo is only the tutorial, for more you gonna have to wait for the full version hehe!
Thank you!
ah okay that clear things up ty!
very good boss fight no damage taken the demo run still working on it maybe tomorrow whit small commentary
Good job!
I see you're playing on a controller, it's still not oficially supported but you did well!
correct in my demo run i explain its compatible whit a xbox controller base on my exp. am a gamer from atari age so not much in to the keyboard mouse thing lucky i did not had to map the keys to my controller whit a program i only had use mouse for the rest and located skill points and level up my stats combat runs pretty well whit the controller

And the question is, the content that is shown on screenshots and gifs, is this for higher versions? Since I didn't come across this in version 0.26
Hello!
The new version has some weird interaction with old savefiles, clicking delete save should hopefully fix that.
Demo is just the tutorial section + boss, some of the screenshots show stuff that are further in game.
Thanks for playing!
Unfortunately, the bug arose on a new save, I replayed it not for the first time, and the bug was still there, I'm not sure if everyone has it, maybe it's just me
I think you have to delete the save and then close the game and boot it up again for it to be fixed.
Sorry for that!

1. Controller is not officialy supported yet, but I'm working on it and making sure it feels good.
2. There will be no map in the game, I'll try making sure each rooms is more different and that there's more landmarks.
3.This version of the game only saves if you beat the demo so you can continue into ng+ of the demo. Next version will have a proper continue button.
Thank's again!

Thanks a lot!

i think im using a english keyboard layout
Question, will this be on Consoles or Mobile? I don't usually use my computer.
It will be ported to consoles.
Nice, can't wait to try it in the future.
It seems like a great game in the making, plus there's not many furry Themed Games on Consoles sadly so can't wait.
The pixel art is really beautiful, there are many wonderful details and great gameplay. Amazing game, congrats.
Thank you!!
Dude this is AMAZING, do you think there might be multiplayer sometime in the future
Thanks! The game is designed for singleplayer, multiplayer would be incredibly difficult to implement.
