Making a First Person Samurai Rogue like | Devlog #1 

Maybe make an upgrade that knocks all beans away from you when you parry, save for the one you parried, letting you single him out for a kill while he's stunned

The music is techy Egyptian and Japanese all at the same time

Whenever I hear “inspired by vampire survivors” I get worried but this looks really good

This is truly amazing! Ideas to add: - different attack types; e.g. fast, heavy or combo attack - ultimate spells (that actually feel ultimate bcs it's difficult to obtain them or use them right) - fireball. - more fireball. - the never ending war between eternal darkness and light of hope, which is a never ending war and also hasn't come to an end yet, although it never ends. - fireball again.

Awesome stuff! I love the progression from prototype cylinders to fully modelled characters and scenery, it's looking polished! Have you thought about using behaviour trees for the AI, if you aren't already using them? Looking forward to see how the game progresses!

It'd be such a great multiplayer game haha.

OMG what a quality! I love how you designed the scenes. This is truly awsome, looking forward to updates. Keep it up!!

Your 3D art skills are genuinely fantastic and testing enemy AI by fighting then against other enemy AI is such genius idea!

This is perfect. I love this. You can probably make a general/sensei type to summon AI although it might destroy the fun for some players. You're really good at modeling and effects. You need more subscribers

THIS GAME LOOKS SO COOL! I really want to see the progress of this game!

I know this is quite generic, but after certain amt of kills or xp, you could choose a sword that combats the elemental type of the enemies, such as water sword for fire enemeis, etc. You can choose different swords on basis of buttons, like e for fire, q for water, etc etc.

Amazing work dude, checking out the demo in a bit.

This looks soo cool and I’m glad your developing it. Some story stuff could be this: you are a lone samurai (ronin if you will) your home country has been invaded and destroyed. You must survive the bounty placed on your head but the traitors are not the only threats lurking in the shadows (oni or demons)

Fantastic video! Good to see how simple beans on a checker floor turns into a game. It was also funny.

Emis: "I had an idea for a game" Everyone in a 5 mile radius: "WOOOO YEAH THATS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR BABY YEAH WOOOOOOOOOO"

You're talented man, your vfx skills are crazy good.

The combat looks really satisfying! Can't wait to see more!

100% would download, honestly amazing! You have so much potential to work in a huge company, great job on this, if it's ever finished I'll be playing it! One suggestion is maybe adding bosses or multiplayer and more elements outside of the 4 elements

I love these types of videos, I've never coded my own code but It's still cool to watch.

Game Looks Promising. U Earned a Sub!

bro the game looks sick! awesome atmosphere and fun game overall, very impressive

Love it, I even think there is a really fun potential in the ninja clan fighting (when you tested AI), so its a Vampire Survivors where you upgrade your clan skills

Hi emis,you inspired me a lot to make a unity game,btw this is a great project

This game looks amazing! great video, I’ve subbed 😊

Wow this loooks awesome! It might be a good idea to at some point during the game team up with one faction to defeat another faction. Teaming up with AI can be really fun!

You have a such a good sense of humor and your videos are fun to watch. I am a new subscriber, but I would love it if you would include links to any tutorials you reference, such as the skybox tutorial you mentioned. Thanks so much for the awesome content. I am looking forward to more from you.

NIIICE i always wanted to make a game like this, even with the opponents still having the capsule shape, this is awesome!

this is amazing progress for the first part of a devlog

This is the FIRST dev log of this game???? Holy smokes

the game inviorment looks soo pretty

Great video! Keep doing these videos and you'll get to 10k in no time!

looks great! an idea for the enemy AI is to make their movement less like a chase. You can have them go around you and attack you from different angles to limit the amount of slashing while walkign backwards.

god do i love the mountain map. with the trees and the edges

Great devlog))). Suggestion: then slashing ninjas you could split them into 2 pieces thus adding a bit more variety and impact to the combat. I guess making them canon-glass would also make sense as they do not have any armor.

I LOVE THIS GAME, so good looking and also love the BEAN characters 👌🥔🥔

this is so sick!!!! keep up the good work.

Awesome idea and nice design!! Enemies that look like ninjas could throw shurikens from the distance :D

What if elements had trade offs, like earth might have slower but harder hitting attacks. Oh, and special attacks gotten by items would be great, you would have to choose between AOE, or a large dmg single strike. And if there is bosses there better be one that can only be defeated by depleating it's poise.

Dude this content is amazing, I was laughing hard at 5:27, thanks for good emotions :3

I love watching the beans fight :)

it reminds me of that wii sports resort game about swords where you fight lots of waves of coloured people and bosses, so cool :)

This is so cool... And cute, look at them smol samurai beans

Add upgrades that give you special moves, like maybe one could give you a teleport attack, btw loved the vid

holy shit the music is actually so good 😮😮😮😮

You need to make a full version of the intro song, it's so good!!

I wasn't sure about video at beginning because al those beans looked like another meme-creation of another meme-gemadev. Yey you proved me wrong with legit work. Looking really good. My personal opinion about things and what to add: - Proper enemies models, not beans. They might be simple ghost-like flying bodyes with head, stilysh yet not over simplistic. - tbh thats all

I'm amazed over how good you make it look by Simply using basic graphics

watching the beans battle was what I found to be the most entertaining, I hope that there will still be large battles between the AI factions in the final game

god speed on that project, you need it

Add more weapons that you can buy with xp like a spear or a bo staff with wide range. (Also congrats on making it to 4k subs :))

Nice job on the game! I haven't seen many games like this, it looks like the movement and the combat are having equal time put into developing the! It reminds me of Karlson lol :) As a suggestion, it would be cool if the yin and yang symbol was added in some way since your going for the whole samurai kinda thing, maybe you could add it as some sort of element or weapon?

Very nice project with such satisfying attacks ! One way of improving the whole experience would be by changing how your AI works : using FSMA (Finite State Machine Animator), this would make your code cleaner and would also allow you to make different kinds of AI reusing code parts. Great job !

another banger game from emis! got some feedback, the stun is kinda hard to see, you might want to add some vertical element on it since you can barely see the ring spin

I like the look of this game. A cool addition will be a side bar to house smoke bomb or grenade? Maybe as more waves spawn Monsters get added to the mix, like ogres, or demons. Worth considering to shake up the gameplay from just bashing hordes of ronin. Really cool game concept that I would definitely play

Make an upgrade that when you parry, the bean that got parried gets disarmed and uses its fists,dealing lower damage, but having a lower cooldown for attacking

Pirmas 🎉 Šaunus projektas, taip ir toliau 😉

Wtf, the intro song is bonkers. Please release it, I need it in my life.

This looks great!

The game reminds me of Warlord Britannia. I like that you can hire your own troops in it to fight with you and build a base to help with defending when enemies come to attack you. But obviously make this game your own!

İf this guy doesnt make this a real game ima throw hands and im not kidding. Btw a suggestions: try adding a story line and stuff i think it would be cool if we could also pick between ninja and samurai getting different quests etc.

It would be cool, if you added a factions mechanic were the ai fight among themselves cause of factions. Would be even cooler if you could join one and help them in major battles, I think it would be funny to see a major scale battle for such a goofy game.

This looks so cool !!!!

this is amazing good job

ideas: 1) have the enemies try to surround you more 2) additional weapons: spear, bow, flintlock, kunai 3) maybe a parry teleport move keep it up this looks great. Kinda getting first person dynasty warriors vibes.

ok who decided to release a bunch of devlog #1 videos at the same time haha thoughts for game.. give some enemies nodachi so you have to guess how long the sword is if they carry it behind them. maps with archers, throwing stars might be a quick way to add some fun. also get blazed and go over your AI code again ;)

you are the reason why i started making games

If your inspiration is Vampire survivor remember that people love to see those damage numbers

Love the idea and the maps, how about a new type of enemy that uses bows instead, and the player throwing knifes

The music is sick 😀

I would love to see a slow down time upgrade... I'm not really sure how you will implement it, but I feel like it will make the game more satisfying.

The best part are the eyes, they look not so serious but when you see multiple of them rushing at you then its Psycho level, or goofy level depending on whats happening Dont worry everything starts out initially ugly but with effort it grows more into perfection

The game looks amazing

wow , you have to telll me how much time it took you to do this much , i feel kinda slow compared to you . great video Btw you got a sub

I would love to see ragdoll to really show the impact of your swings, crazy elemental effects from upgrades, big orc bosses, blood moon maps and demon katanas and enemies!!

I liked the glowing eyes effect and think you should bring them back

woah woah bruh this is amazing

That is purely epic

That music be fire tho

I think each element promoting a different playstyle would be something to consider, while also being able to combine it with other elements What I'm thinking let's say going for a Fire build lets you do AoE DoT damage, upgrades like your weapon is doing Fire damage, enemies that die of fire spread it to other enemies, etc etc. But you could combine a Fire build with Water build, that when extinguishing enemies, damages the remaining fire DoT to the enemy (like a kind of "Shock"), so the build becomes about building up tons of DoT and then killing them all at once with this built up damage Looking forward to your game!

Hey bro, we are making the same kind of game called Rogue Samurai. It's roguelike action game like yours. Your game looks fun :)

The music be fire🔥

Now add a rechargeable flintlock pistol attack, because samurai loved guns.

Wow this looks so fun in vr

Love it, continue !

I love the idea of elemental upgrades! when taking a katana and elemental stuff i cant help but to think about demon slayer' maybe it's a good place for inspiration for elemental effects that goes with sword combat!

some graphic design ideas (this is gonna be a long): 1-I liked the comment by Ruben D where he suggested ninja's throwing shuriken's at U it gave me an idea, you will prolly be able to block them, and it got me thinking, it would be weird if you had your sword in the same position every time you block something, so what if the sword was set to a random angle every time you block so it looks cooler. but not too off angle cause then it would look wierd. (think of how the light sabers block the bullets in star wars) 2- since the game has katanas and everything, what if you had an animation when you join the game of you having a cool animation of you unsheathing your sword before the game starts.

I really love the idea. Have you ever thought about making it more third person? I don't mean a shoulder cam, I think more of a more upper cam with a more top down /third person middle path. I think this would make your fights a lot more overseeable. Something like in the Mario Galaxy/Sunshine games

Dude make this shit a fully fledged multiplayer game I could see a bunch of people playing this

Hear me out on a upgrade. You could grapple a bean and pull yourself towards it or be able to pull it towards you. It could be on a bow weapon where you shoot a grapple arrow on to a bean.

Add 1 more way of attacking. Maybe a spell or shuriken or kunai but still a recharging Secondary attack. I feel that slashing 24/7 would get annoying or would limit skill. (great video btw ganme looks very cool)

wow im early damnn insanee game

Epic if you could do this an open world, build ur own castle and army, ... I would definetly buy that

The golden field could make a nice background for the main menu

Savage stuff

good work

very nice!

You could make this into a beautiful openworld game

I would love to see this roguelike take inspiration from games other than Vampire survivors. Others games like Enter The Gungeon, The Binding Of Isaac, Gods Will Fall, Hades, and more games of that nature. From Enter The Gungeon you could implement things like the in depth fun story, multiple base characters to play, chest and key system, secret rooms, shop, floor design, the synergy system, the home hub area in which you use your meta currency, etc... From The Binding Of Isaac you have lots of overlap with the previous but also the ability to get items that can entirely alter how you play, very unique game changing and sometimes breaking combos, a system inspired by the angel and devil rooms, etc... From Gods Will Fall the unique bosses, somewhat random starts, passing things between runs, (Particularly in combination with the others you could start with x characters, say 4, each character is always their character and they come with something unique to them such as a weapon, passive item, or active item, but they also get random gear. Then if you die with one you can continue with the next until your entire group dies in which you restart and go to the hub. This could also allow easy multiplayer implementation.), Etc... From Hades you could add the unique separate upgrade routes that the gods offer, the relic you can have for a positive modifier in every run, the ability to choose paths based on rewards perhaps combined with the others open path concept, Between floor rests, etc... And obviously there could be a lot of overlap with each other. If you stick solely to a Vampire survivors style game I think you would miss out on some major potential for an amazing roguelike, keeping the killing for xp system which then allows you to upgrade while also implementing some of these other systems could make an entirely unique and awesome super cool roguelike that I could definitely play for hours on end.

Maybe throwable kunai dagger things? :D

Should add a stun meter that slowly builds up the more of a combo you get, then you can release a powerful hit that stuns enamels. (inspired by cube world rouge class) haha
