[h3]Samurai GUNN 2 New Engine Progress[/h3]

A lot has happened since the last Samurai GUNN 2 Update. We've moved on from using Game Maker, built our own game engine, and have been hard at work re-writing the entire game. Because of this we've been able to address some major issues and create a strong technical foundation so that we can support the game long term.

Our task tracker says we're 58.33% done! ːsteamthumbsupː

Here's a bit of what we've got cooking:



- Character Buffs!
We're adding some extra sauce to every character! For example, Slug can now run on ceilings, and Pops has a deadly new throw.

- Rollback Netcode
We have re-built the entire game from the ground up with a focus on rollback netcode. It works, and it rules.

- Ranked and Casual Matchmaking
Find your most exciting and balanced match-ups thanks to our new matchmaking features which implement the Glicko-2 rating system. Not in it to win it? Hop into the casual queue and enjoy a variety of less serious game modes instead.

- Cross Platform Networking
We've been very serious about creating a code-base that's stable long term so we can support the game on Switch, PS5, Xbox, and whatever new devices may arrive in the future. Not only that, but you'll be able to play against anyone online, regardless of what platform they're using.



Thanks for reading! We're looking forward to the re-launch of Samurai GUNN 2

If you'd like to keep up with our work, you can peep our day-to-day git commits in the #devlog channel of the Samurai Gunn 2 discord.

Just announced at Rivals Direct 5, Ranno will be the next "FRIENDS" character to join Samurai Gunn 2!



We've revealed one of his abilities already... what do you think the rest of his kit will be? Discuss with the rest of the community on our Discord!

🚨 Also, this is the first character built entirely in the new engine! We've been working hard and will have a lot more to show soon...

[h2]New Samurai: ISAO![/h2]

🪵 Isao's log swap catches every opponent when they least expect it.


🌰 Isao has a SLINGSHOT! And he loads it with acorns.


🌊 And since he likes water, he can shoot his acorns even when he gets wet.

[h2]New Spelunky Content![/h2]


LISE Project, Au, and Pilot blast in for some fun! There's sticky bombs, rocks, skulls, torches, and more!

[h2]New Minit Content![/h2]

The gang's all here, with 3 new Minit characters! And the Minit kit got a whole rework—watering can boost rocket, bullet-deflecting sword throws, less active frames on slash, dash through Minit's sword throw... it's all been buffed, it's all been nerfed, flee in terror and have the time of your life! ☠️

[h2]2 New Stages![/h2]

[h2]GUNNDROP Mode![/h2]



In GUNNDROP Mode, KO'ed fighters drop an orb containing 3 ammo. The orb will absorb any stray bullets that are fired its way as well. The first fighter to touch the orb gets all the ammo!

Ana found a few friends on the moon: introducing LISE Project, Au, and Pilot!



They brought along their custom ropes!



And their sticky bombs!



We added rocks to the Spelunky stage. Don't hit yourself! (But do check out that Spelunky-style blood!)


There is even a chance the stage will spawn LIGHTS OUT!

We love Spelunky so much, we added a ton of other little touches, but you'll have to play the update tomorrow to find them all!
