DEV UPDATE (March 2021)
Dear friends,
here we are with the latest development update sharing with you the progress that has been made on the project despite the circumstances slowing down our beloved game project - Die by the Blade.
If you're not into reading, find out more in a 3-minute long video update here > https://youtu.be/XZ1z8qiy78Q
So, curious to find out what's new? Long story short, a lot! Let us break it down for you step by step:
ANIMATIONS
As you know, animations play a crucial role in every fighting game, so we are super happy having managed to properly set up the motion capture system finally. It took us some time and brought a few funny moments, but it works flawlessly now and captures directly into the game engine, which is very helpful as it speeds up the process of animation recording.
WEAPONS & CHARACTERS‘ CUSTOMIZATION
A lot of work has been done on another important feature – customization. Both the weapons and characters will have endless customization options, so you can look forward to enjoying your gameplay with a fully customized hero like no other, that’s for sure!
SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN
Another important part of the overall game experience will be delivered in the single-player mission. We are working on two main things here – the gameplay itself and a completely new area, the burning village. We have almost 80% done in terms of modeling, texturing will follow soon, so that we can feature the single-player gameplay with all those bells and whistles in the final product, precisely textured and with all the effects. We also have the storyboards ready, a few tweaks in the storyline and conversations of the characters and we will be done with the story soon as well. We truly believe you will enjoy our single-player campaign as we do enjoy making it.
NETWORKING & MATCHMAKING
Important progress has been done also on the networking side, where we are working with the Edgegap team, who help us implementing the distributed server system and a complex matchmaking solution so that you can count on hundreds and hundreds of servers worldwide allowing you to enjoy smooth gameplay experience with least amount of lag possible.
That's it for today, we are thankful for all your patience and feedback, it helps us a lot - and you can do even more by sharing our project with your peers and help us build the community around Die by the Blade.
We will make sure to keep you updated every step of the way.
Thank you for all your support, may your swords remain sharp, warriors!

Dear friends,
we wanted to take a moment to update you on the development of Die by the Blade. The team at Triple Hill has been working hard on the game and although progress has been good, life has delivered some unexpected circumstances to our development schedule. We refuse to compromise on our promise of delivering a gameplay experience of the highest quality and we strive to follow through on our commitments to you, our loyal community. So as a team, we laid out our options and made the difficult decision to delay the release of Die by the Blade.
We want to reassure you that things are progressing well, it's just going to take us a little longer than we planned to deliver the final gameplay experience we promised you when we started. We haven’t yet settled on a new release window as we want to see how this project is progressing before making this important decision. We do not want to compromise on the quality and high gameplay experience, so we will continue to evaluate the status and plan from there.
It’s not all doom and gloom though!
We’ve finally managed to set up the motion capture system, so you can expect existing animation to be improved, as well as new ones being added. On top of that, we have implemented a fresh new UI, new weapon customization and tattoo systems, new banner designs and improved banner customization systems, as well as character tables for even deeper customization. We have also significantly improved the gameplay systems, locomotions, side switching and so on.

Development update video coming next week!
Actually, we are just preparing our latest dev update, which you’ll see soon – so make sure to stay tuned!
We thank you as always for your support, patience and understanding, it really helps to raise morale during the difficult times and motivates the team to continue to push through and keep creating this thrilling game. Stay tuned as we will of course keep you updated every step of the way.
Stay safe,
the team
