Recreating feudal Japan (even if it is just a tiny slice of it) is going to take time - but that’s not to say we can’t use a few techniques to help speed things up! Taking a modular approach with regards to asset creation is one of the ways that we can churn out environment models at a consistent pace and quality!

We’ve also taken this modular approach to designing weapons, as shown by the screenshot below which shows various Tsuba designs (hand guard) on our standard Katana. We’ll take a closer look at weapon customisation in a separate post - but for now, check out some of our latest creations below!

Can you believe it - it's our 3 year anniversary this month?! Bushido has certainly become a labour of love for those of us on the development team, but with the end finally in sight - we wanted to share some the latest developments update you as to the status of the project.

In this blog post, we’re going to look at some of the latest assets the team has been working on over the past couple of month. We’ve also got some exciting news in terms of developments in gameplay - with the Katana and Character customisation feature newly finished.

First things first, we just wanted to say a big thank you to all our fans who have supported us and continued to show interest in the project, despite the fact that we haven’t posted many developments over the last couple of months. Without your continual support and enthusiasm - we wouldn’t be able to keep doing what we’re doing. THANKS!
