Sengoku Dynasty News

Youkoso!

As work continues diligently on the game, let's take a quick look at some of the contents of the latest scrolls.

Ame-no-Uzume is a legendary figure of the Japanese pantheon. She is much discussed among scholars and we try to find a context to a dance.

An important figure of the late Sengoku and early Edo era is Date Masamune, a warlord and daimyo from northeastern Japan who helped Tokugawa Ieyasu to victory at the Battle of Sekigahara. Read more about this colourful person.

In this issue, we also take a little detour into the Unreal Engine 5 and its new features.

Furthermore, there are interesting facts about paper production, clothing and the scholar Tenjin.

Are you excited to learn more about Sengoku Dynasty, its gameplay, and its mechanics? Do you have burning questions about the game set in Japan’s era of strife and conflict? We’re looking forward to hosting a Q&A and were looking for questions (Mind, we know the most important question, we really do) 😉

So, contemplate and focus on the questions that spring to your mind and note them here or our social media channels as comments!

Don't miss out on this opportunity to ask questions! You have one week to post your questions, the deadline is 19 May 2023, midnight.

Youkoso!

You may have been wondering which engine we used to develop Sengoku Dynasty.

Initially, we started with Unreal Engine 4, even though Unreal Engine 5 was on the horizon. We were excited about the new changes, as was anyone with an interest in game development. However, from a technical and business standpoint, it was too early for us to switch, so we decided to stick with UE4…



…but that's not where the story ends! In December 2022, with the implementation of UE5.1, we finally felt that there was enough incentive in the new possibilities, as well as stability in the engine. So now, we can proudly say that we are officially a UE5 game, and one of the first to hit Steam very soon!



Attached are some screenshots taken from the game to whet your appetite. Stay tuned for more exciting materials coming soon!

Arigato!

Today is the Emperor’s Birthday. Tennō tanjōbi, as it is called in Japan, is an annual holiday celebrating the birthday of the reigning Emperor. The best place to celebrate is the Tokyo Imperial Palace, where the Emperor and Empress greets the gathered members of public from the balcony.

Did you know that the imperial family is probably the longest-running royal family in the world, spanning more than 1,500 years?

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!
