Bushido: Legend of the Samurai is a Multiplayer Melee Combat game set during during the turbulent feudal period of medieval Japan.
Kieran has been busy sculpting some new faces for Bushido! This image shows a quick sample of his work and some of the facial hair / scarring options that'll be available in customization!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Awww yiss
Will there be only 1 face for each class or we can wait for multiple options for classes ?
Hi RoyalWatcher! The idea is that you can pick any face for any class, and then customize it with hairstyles, scars, etc... We're still really nailing down the customization stuff as focus over the last 4-6 months has really been in-game stuff and multiplayer!
Yes if i remember correctly from what Kierran said (some time ago) there is not going to be so much a class system as an persistent character (mount and blade style) system.
Exactly that - we're using the term 'class' to sort of define a style of armour etc... We're still playing with this concept a lot so it may change if we think it works better in a different way!
Hey,
We're aiming to have a bunch of different heads that you pick from, they wont be tied to class.
Internally I'm creating these faces with 'who is this character?' in my mind to try and bring a bit more character to them than the heads we used earlier in the project. But just to be clear, we want you to be able to use whatever face you want in the end no matter the armor! ;)
Good job Sir!
Think them as "what is this one was a Ninja-Monk?" too! ^^
haha will do!
Woah Im glad to hear that!
Question:
-Will there be body customisation too ? Like having a belly, or looking like being born in gym ?
Main idea of Asking that is Can I a fatty Old Ninja-Monk ?
-Ninja-Monk
Body customization isn't currently planned :(
Is it possible for you guys to add Onna-bugeisha to the game as well?
Hi Blackfalcon501 - its definitely on the 'to-do' list... We've got a lot of experimenting to do but I'm hoping it'll just be a case of changing the faces/hair styles and possibly minor adjustments to the overall size of the player? Creating brand-new 'female' models just wouldn't work time-wise.
I'd really love to, I think they're a great historical icon and would bring a lot to the table visually. Unfortunately in order to do them justice they would need their own body type which means existing sculpts of armors and other customization elements would have to be re-created as well. Currently they're not on the essentials list for development time reasons but it's something I want to be able to do.
Wow!
Thanks for the awesome comments everyone!
