Instead of triggering predefined swing animations, players directly control weapon position with the mouse, and a custom Harmonic Resonance Model simulates stiffness, elasticity, and energy dissipation so swords collide, rebound, deadlock, and deflect based on their actual position and angle. Blocking and parrying emerge from weapon geometry rather than scripted states, and the crossguard itself participates in collisions. The game is targeting a PC release with a Steam playtest currently available. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
