Travel through a beautiful, fictional rendition of the 16th century of Feudal Japan. Choose between four types of warriors as you learn to master intuitive, directionally-driven swordplay while also choosing unique abilities to ensure victory over your foes. Join your friends in an immersive multiplayer campaign across Japan in pursuit of either preserving the peace and honor of the Emperor or bringing on chaos and death by playing across four different game modes with different objectives and strategies. Whether you prefer the blade wielding Kenshi or Naginata Samurai, the range and precision of the Samurai Archer, or the deceptive Ninja, the options are vast and the battles fierce.
Creative Director Matt Canei shows off recent progress on the Hanako Castle siege environment. A majority of the level is complete and low level population, foliage and other level polishing remains.

maybe some more details and eye candy? looks kinda bare right now.
See the description... Low-level population hasn't been implemented yet.
lovely architecture
What about tiles? In Edo Japan, the roads inside these large places consists of rocks rather than dirt road... And having these rocky areas in alleyways and such as pathway allows for footsteps to be heard better.
Great suggestion was looking through some other Feudal era games doing some more competitive analysis and came across this as a solution as well, I'm going to repaint the terrain from scratch over the next few days
I'm not really fond of that ninja look, ninjas had armor and there's no real proof that they did wear black (but if it has to be black then it should rather be all black than black and grey)
and the headgarment wouldn't sit that tight, it would be a bit more loose
anyways it looks great (except the grass :/)
well mr i dont remember history books saying ninjas wore armor. in fact i applaud them for not just going generic black. good job guys for taking another route. im sure that down the road you guys will develop different styles to your charcters
ninjas wore armor, that's a fact
I doubt you've read a lot of books on ninjas
well im going to need the book then that states for fact that ninja always wore armor.
All the research we've conducted as a team indicates ninja were scrappy, poor farmers often in scrappy clothing or had a similar look to the look we have. Of course we stylized our model to fit the art style of the game, however we are well aware because of how endeared ninja are conceptually it'll be impossible to please everyone's personal concept of what ninja should look like.
Our references come from many Stephen Turnbull samurai books (he's written around ten I believe.) Like Dragoon said if you have historically factual books please send a link on Amazon and perhaps in the future we'll revisit or have alternative customizable outfits for each class.
