Killer Bean - Official Trailer 

Thanks for watching the live Premiere everyone! 🥰. The chat just ended, but you can ask any questions here! Answers here: - I'm working hard for an Early Access release on Steam around Feb-Mar 2024. - All major console ports will start after it goes through early access on Steam. That way I can fix all the bugs before console ports. (PS4, PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch) - Steam Deck will be supported 100% - Unfortunately there won't be mobile ports, because the game will be 10+ gb, and there's way too many mobile devices to support and test on each one. - The price will be $20 USD, but Steam varies the price by country, so it might be cheaper depending where you are. - There will be multi language subtitles. I will put in as much as I can, starting with the biggest audience first. But a lot of languages will be added over time. - For multiplayer, there is currently co-op local splitscreen. - Online might be added later, but that is a big maybe or maybe not, because it might break the game, so we will see. - I'm a solo developer, and my favorite part of developing was making all of Killer Bean's skills! - The zombies are part of a Shadow Agency experiment gone wrong, very wrong. - The story will be the conclusion of Killer Bean Forever and the episode series, but since this game is roguelike, there will be multiple stories and multiple endings. Each play through will be different for every player. So I can't really say that it is canon 😁 - In the game world, the beans are about 4 ft tall, and pretty wide 😅 - As playable characters, after Killer Bean, I will add a customizable character (play as a Bad Bean or Merc). Then Jet Bean is next. After that is Vagan, Cromwell, and Chintow! Kessler possibly! - I don't know if I'll ever make Killer Bean Forever 2, but after this game I might make a new series about Killer Bean's missions when he was still with the Shadow Agency. The goal is to make the episodes using this game, and then I will update the game so that you can play the same exact mission that was in the episode. I think that would be really cool. - In first person mode, there will be options to turn off camera rolling. - In terms of development completion, it's still a long way off, and still a lot of features I want to add. It will be in early access for a while. - This game is inspired by Just Cause, Far Cry, Metal Gear Solid, GTA, Max Payne, Borderlands, Doom Eternal, and Streets of Rogue. - There will be multiple outfits for Killer Bean, especially the KB1 and KB2 skins which will be unlockable with achievements. - Killer Bean's Car is a concept roadster, but inspired by the Pontiac Solstice. - For each full campaign, there will be 9 main missions, and multiple side quests. It will be divided into 3 chapters with 3 main missions each. - There will be lots of Achievements! If you have ideas for achievements, you can suggest them on the Killer Bean Steam Community forum. There is a thread with Achievement Ideas. - Yes, I can add a naked coffee bean option 😅 - This game has been in development for 2 years so far. - There will be some cutscenes but not many. - Why beans? It goes way back to when I was learning animation. I wanted a simple character to animate, a sphere with 2 arms and 2 legs. I was a big John Woo fan back then, so I gave this character 2 guns. It was then when Killer Bean was born. - There will possibly be a closed beta. - I would like to add a dancing mini-game! - Fists can kill when the enemy is dizzy. Or you can choose to do a finisher or interrogate the enemy. - Adding legs and body to first person mode is planned, but maybe later in early access. - A style meter will be added! - For First Person Mode, some parts will be forced to go into Third Person, like driving vehicles or performing finishers. - Yes, Steam Workshop will be added! - In terms of PC game stores, probably only on Steam in the beginning. Maybe I'll add it to more stores for PC later. - For dialogue, it will all be text-based dialogue like in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That way it will be easier to develop for procedural missions. - Yes, you will be able to holster your guns and just use your fists. Just be sure to upgrade the Melee Skill Tree! - For desktop, Windows, Mac, and Linux will be supported. - The game takes place on Shadow Bean Island, which will be 3km x 3km. It will be controlled by 3 factions, Bad Beans, Mercenaries, and Shadow Beans. Neither faction likes each other, and you can align with Bad Beans or Mercs if you choose to. - Killer Bean will have 3 or 4 skill trees that you can upgrade, similar to Borderlands and Far Cry. So far they are: Guns Blazing, Melee, Parkour, and maybe Survival. For customizable characters, you'll be able to select 3 skill trees for your character. Other skill trees will be like: Pro Driver, Stealth, etc. - So far, the main modes of transportation are vehicles, aircraft, and boats. Jet packs will be added, and of course motorcycles. There will be fast travel modes too. - When this game launches in Early Access, it will hopefully be a basic playable campaign. There will be a lot of things added during early access, like more roguelike variations of stories, missions, characters, vehicles, weapons, skills. Plus sandbox and Steam Workshop. More melee moves and more wrestling. - There will be some individual buildings like warehouses that you can do "Dramatic Entrances" on. For large interiors, it will have to be a separate scene loaded. - In terms of availability in which countries, it is highly dependent on Steam itself. - In terms of voice acting, the majority of the dialogue will be text-based, like in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but I will try to get some of the original voice actors back for one-liners. - Yes, it's quite crazy to me to see how big Killer Bean has gotten! I never imagined when I was first creating Killer Bean. - Killer Bean won't come to your house unless you are playing the music too loud. - Eventually I might make a campaign where you can play through the story of Killer Bean Forever 😁 - Yes, there will be machines that will grind up enemies into coffee 😄 - There will be lots of different guns. Gun customization will only be for legendary weapons like Killer Bean's guns. - Yes there will be sandbox mode. - The full game will have much more than what the trailer shows. - The game soundtrack will probably be released on Spotify. - Coop will be split screen for now. I'm not sure if I can make it online coop.

It’s crazy to think that this all started from a small animation made 27 years ago. Jeff’s dedication is legendary

Never in my life did I think I’d get excited to play a video game about killer beans, but here we are.

They called me crazy for having faith that this game would come out soon, but here we are... Looking forward to it being released on Steam to find out what awaits our particular protagonist

"Yo GTA 6 is coming out in 2025!" Bro in 2024:

i want to play this so bad

This goes hard, looking forward to release

Finally… it’s here.

The undead beans and the reverse under-the-leg grenade dunk at the very end sold me 😂

Finally a game I can feel confident won't let me down. it even has all the movie's attributes and the graphics fit right in. 10/10 before review.

It all started as a small project, then a movie, then a mobile game and now a game worth spending hours on plus it looks AMAZING, this goes on my wish list, great job Jeff thanks for your hard work and dedication 👏

i absolutely love how it seemed like a meme game at first and then it actually unironically looks freaking awesome

A trailer that actually shows gameplay. Well done.

Jeff Lew and his creation of Killer Bean are both absolute Legends, both rising to massive online fame from nothing. I'm so glad this game is in the works, and I can't wait to play it. Who knows what other memes will be spawned from it.

I'm unironically more excited for this game than anything a AAA studio could make, this looked immaculate

Man I love Max Payne inspired games!

This game is turning out exactly what I was hoping for it to be. I'd honestly would love to get a hard copy of this game. I hope it'll still be released on consoles. I'm buying it once it's up on market. Since 2007 I followed and I'm happy to see it flourish into this amazing display. There's even max payne elements and the first person option is perfect.

I completely forgot about Killer Bean. Absolutely cannot believe it went from a short 90s animation to this. Hats off. Game genuinely looks like time and effort have been put in.

Looks like this will bean amazing experience

this genuinely looks like an actual good game

we got killer bean before gta 6

Since I was 9 years old, i watched non-stop the Killer Bean movie, I loved the story, the characters, everything. When I found out a videogame was in the making, I felt like my childhood was back, and with this trailer, now I feel complete. Thank you for this, Jeff Lew

This man Jeff Lew is a frickin legend. Decades ago he showed us how to make a bad ass animation film and now he is showing us how to make bad ass games.

This already looks amazing, the goat simulator 3 vibe is honestly great for this type of game. Great work!

the fact it actually looks really fun is crazy

I haven't kept track of this since the first devlog where it was just Killer Bean clicking on enemies in an empty warehouse. This has evolved so much I love it

You have no idea how long I've waited for this. Praise Killer Bean !

The fact that this was made by one guy and it looks really clean and better then most games made by a whole team really shows how much love he has for this game, and the fact that he even listens to his community and fixes or adds things that they want is really cool and just shows that he has more respect for this game unlike other dev teams

Honestly Jeff Lew did a good job on the visuals, the explosions and the action with the weapons, as every fan was and will be a dream come true driving Killer Bean in the city With the characters and choosing your weapons to launch into battle is a dream come true, this game does have to have great support because of the great potential it has and also because of the great love that they put into this great project. I imagine how many will feel so happy playing this, it will be like the first time they met this great character.❤

Ok, this seems very ambicious, and it worries me a bit, but if it goes well, this might be one of the best games i've ever played. I really like the action mechanics and it amazes me how this will be an open world game with each campaign being different from each other. I just don't have words. Already on wishlist 👍🏻

Holy this looks awesome

I love the ultra realistic environments!!!…filled with Bean people

Already looks better than most games out there

This Is Gonna Be Awsome! Feel's like Max payne, Fps Games Like Call Of Duty & Battlefield, Saint Row & GTA V And More Perfect Combo And I'm So Excited To Play The Demo!

open world, roguelike, and killer bean in the same sentence has me feeling some things

honestly the animations look amazing. the only thing that might be a problem is the procedural generation. it might get annyoing if the missions turn out to be all more or less the same fight over and over while also not taking all that long. the gameplay itself looks top notch. especially the way you made everything work in not only third but also first person.

Woah... Hard to believe that we are finally getting a trailer for the game Can't wait for for both demo and full release!

Ok this guy definitely had fun with his action figures as a kid i just know😅

Whether it's a good game or bad one, THIS is a piece of history everyone should own.

A game made with actual care, its gonna sell well for sure!

Bro you out done yourself. The visuals look so damn beautiful and you even added first person mode with zombies. This is genuinely so sick. I can't wait to play it 😍

You are a LEGEND, you deserve all our respect and attention!

This actually looks amazing. And I have no shame in saying this: It looks a hundred times better than most of the stuff we see in triple A games.

This is definitely going to be one of the games of all time.

Yesss, my lil bros are going to love thisss

I’m so excited to play this and watch Charlie do a play through. I wonder is he’s returning to his role as the drone guy

Hopefully this comes to consoles after release, we need more fun unique games like this.

1:20 perfect timing on grenade throwing

I remember sharing the video from HDD to HDD like 20 years ago

This is a blast from the past! Congrats to Jeff Lew for making this happen, he was one of my animation heroes back in the day.

Lew, youre currently one of my biggest inspirations. From a 3 minute short from the 90s to a whole game you always put soul and dedication to your works. That's the real MVP right here. Possibly my first ever pre-order.

I'm looking forward to exploring this game in full! The idea of walking around a city and actually seeing pedestrians is something I've been wanting to see for a long time! Edit: Some of you might’ve missed the obvious fact I was commenting about the trailer lol

"We got GTA at home" GTA at home:

This movie was such a great part of my childhood, and i was always a fan of videogames. Two of the best things from my childhood coming together and its better than most modern media. Huge props to the creator Jeff Lew.

This is literally everything I wanted in a game and I can't believe it's finally happening.

Never have I ever thought that one of my favourite franchise killer bean is gonne get a game and the fact that it looks actually good just blows me away

Everything about this game looks so amazing! The lighting and environments looks accurate to the series, the view models are soo well animated, and just the gameplay in general with all of the slow-mo scenes is just... *Chefs kiss*

This will 100% be one of the greatest games ever made. This isn’t a joke, everything from the animations to the gunplay, it’s just perfect. I cannot wait to play the game!

It just goes to show you that all games have the potential to be great like this with the right people working on it. This literally looks better than most “next gen” games that have released already

This game and movie is a masterpiece and the best part is that there isn’t one character with a gun or one scene without a gun and it’s a masterpiece

The fact a bean game is better than a lot of AAA game development studios says A LOT

Looks like a game from the age when games were just plain fun.

Hey Jeff Lew! I bought your "Learning 3D Character Animation" DVD as a kid and then got my A.A.S in Animation and now I'm working on games and living the dream!

0:55 why does that look soo smooth

I love every aspect of this masterpiece, especially zombie mode 😮. That's something I honestly didn't expect from the Killer Bean franchise but a welcome surprise.

Now we got three games about beans

1:03 Zombeans

This looks amazing Jeff! I’ve been following the development of the game for a long time and I never expected it would become this expansive. Awesome job!

It's the year 2023. One of the most masculine fictional characters blowing up on the internet is a bean with two guns.

THIS IS THE GAME OF MY DREAMS! Switching from 3rd to 1st person, well-developed combat, good graphics, time dilation and parkour tricks! If the game allowed you to run on the walls and there would be stealth in it, I would definitely buy it

This will be the pinnacle of gaming without a shadow of a doubt.

POV me realizing this is the year the game comes out

Genuinley looks so fun and interesting. Really excited this is coming out! I’ll be buying this day 1.

Unexpected, but a truly masterpiece

This is the best game trailer I’ve ever seen. No BS, straight to the action and god damn, I’m excited… Instant wishlist.

gameplay looks so smooth. i hope you can take this game as far as you want

This trailer was what I expected the most during these 2 years that the game has been running, and it left me speechless, I'm very excited for it to come out, Bravoo Mr Lew

In a franchise that does not take itself serious, they ended up making a seriously cooler game than most studios could dream of

If you had told me 20+ years ago that Killer Bean 2.1 would eventually be turned into an A Tier FPS game I would have called you a fool. Yet here we are.

Charlie is going to have a field day with this one.

The music drop at 0:50 is a bit too clean lol

I love that slow-mo bullet-time when you’re in the air, really reminds me of BoTw. it just adds to the action even more!

Bro, custom characters, slow Mo, first person shooter this game is getting so many attention and awards I bet

The amount of love this dude has for his creation is on another level

I wouldn't be surprised if this game will win Game of the Year award, it actually looks more creative and engaging than most of the other shooters realesed in the past 5 years.

Bro im a Killer Bean Og but seeing this makes me want the game for real now.

Killer Bean's adventure continues in huge scale and it already exceeds our expectations. It's gonna be very sweet!

this looks so so hype - ignoring the fact that, majority, everyone loves the Killer Bean franchise - this so so good, and genuinely something I get for myself - if I had the set-up for it - definitely on my wishlist!

I'm amazed about the fact of someone from the FILM industry doing a better job at making games that most game companies. not so much because we´re talking about the person behind Killer bean, more about the general idea of this happening.

We are so back.

The game I never knew I wanted but now I want it more than anything else.

Killer bean is promising us more content in a game than most games do today. Huge respect killer bean, keep it up!

It is absolutely crazy that killer bean of all things is getting a video game. What’s crazier is that this game looks really good and fun and I actually want to play it.

Not the game we deserve, but the game we need

I’ve never been more excited in my life 😭😭😭😭

Anybody remember that old game called “Wet” because the diving part gives me those vibes where things go into slow motion 1:09 WAS THAT ZOMBIES A FEW SECONDS AGO

This game looks AMAZING! It's been awesome following the games development, and It's great seeing a developer who listens to community feedback. I'm super hyped for this game.

It’s always nice being genuinely excited for a video game, un-ironically looks really fun to play. Cant wait!

I first watched Killer Bean 2.1 when I was a child, I guess you could say I grew up with it. Seeing Killer Bean Forever was already incredible but this is like a dream come true, up there with the Madness Combat games

This is a work of passion , not a cash grab here people . For one man creating this whole thing is a shitton of work , times and love . Godbless Jeff Lew
