Sengoku Dynasty News

Youkoso!

Another scroll has arrived in the valley, spreading word of the Sengoku era!

This time in the Sengoku scrolls:

Probably the most important weapon of all in medieval Japan: cheap, effective, and always available - spears (yari). By now, the developers know which spears are to be included in the game and how you can stab someone in and with style.

Let's stay with the weapons and move on to the Japanese longbow (yumi). This bow - compared to its European counterpart - is unusually shaped, the grip is positioned rather low, but there's a theory to explain why this is the case.

Finally, this little preview gets martial once more. You can find out what's behind the onna-bugeisha in the new edition.

Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Then get the latest Sengoku script quickly!

Arigato!

Clang, clang, crunch, scratch! We don't just play and watch games, we also listen keenly. In quite a few genres, such as horror or science fiction, sound effects are crucial parts of the gaming experience. Sengoku Dynasty lets you listen as well!

Today's fifth Insider Video is all about sound.

Great and appealing visuals in games are important, but it's the sound design that makes a game believable, authentic and realistic. A real world like medieval Japan, that comes with a fictional narrative, needs a realistic representation of the environment and all the objects that should or can be used in it.

To achieve this, sound designers are needed, and today Agnieszka from Superkami answers a few questions about how the world of Sengoku Dynasty will sound!

Now that you've heard a bit of Sengoku Dynasty, what sound - apart from the drawing of a katana - do you think belongs in this world? Tell us in the comments or on our social media channels!

Arigato!

Youkoso!

We know you've been waiting impatiently for this! The new insider video takes you into the world of crafting.

Our developer team has delved deep into the matter and looked at how craftsmen of the Japanese Middle Ages mastered their craft. Instead of gathering a lot of obscure materials, you will acquire more sophisticated and complex knowledge of manufacturing.

You will be able to create common objects and decorative items that have both a use in the game and fit aesthetically into the overall picture.

Most important for most of you: building! You will be able to construct a number of buildings: Huts, houses, shrines, watchtowers and much more. In addition, there are the special projects. These are large structures such as bridges or large watchtowers.

Are your fingers already tingling? Then take a quick look at the insider video!

Youkoso!

You roam the prairie at the bright hour, unequal to your purpose, unequal to your desires. All you want is a lucrative place to settle, a place as fertile as life, a place plain enough for the fields, a place you can call home.

Finding the right place to settle is always a challenge. Natural conditions such as flatness, fertility, access to water and natural protection from wind and weather are not always easy to find. But first and foremost, settle where your heart and your feelings tell you: this is where I want to stay, this is where I want to live.

Arigato!
