Greetings everyone. Today, I thought id update you all on the Shenmue Gaiden project. Everything is going according to plan and we're making great progress. It's certainly a very ambitious project, but i'm confident we can all make it a reality.





Shenmue Gaiden currently has two types of models, original and new. The upcoming demo will contain the original models, whilst the full game will contain the new detailed versions. These new renders take time unfortunately. Here's a sample of both types.



The image on the right is the newer model. It has improved lighting, textures, details and special effects. Esspiral continues to improve and his work is simply amazing. I wish I could show you more



Fully animated weather has now been implemented into Shenmue Gaiden. Currently, only rain is functional. Expect more in the full game.



Although this is a still image, the rain particles are fully animated when playing. This effect gives the game a more professional a authentic feel.



We now have the original Shenmue Modder, LanDC working with us. LanDC will be composing music for the title. I've heard a few sample tracks from him already and they sound GREAT!!!. Check out his latest public Shenmue remix below.





In addition to this, we've also been given some other great amazing music for the project. Samples to come in following updates.



I'm happy to say that after some testing, Characters will now be able to blink and have their mouths move when speaking in a conversation. Here is a prototype shot of one of the characters.





During certain periods of the game, you'll be able to freely explore various areas. To do so, we've implemented a world map containing the playable areas of Guilin. Simply choose an area which you wish Ryo to visit and you'll be taken there instantly. Pick carefully, as each area will have different sub stories.





Throughout the game, you'll be given the option to spend more time with certain characters. You'll be given a ton of choices to choose from when engaging in conversation. Choose wisely. Each choice will alter the character's response and perception of you.






We now have a sample script for those who wish to do voice acting. Please record as many characters as you'd like and upload your demo reel to youtube or email them directly to [email protected]

Finally, we'll be posting a new help thread in the community section. This thread will be use to request specific help from everyone. We can't make this project fully without your input. Please help as much as you can. Link to follow.


That's Novembers update for you. Please give us your feedback, suggestions and questions. If you'd like to help out on the project, please send us an email. [email protected]

Thanks everyone.

How have I not heard about this until tonight? I think it's a brilliant idea and I look forward to seeing what happens. Best of luck!

Best of luck with the project.

Hey guys

I have some slight unfortunate news. We wont be able to release a demo on Christmas day as planned. The demo has been completed using prototype assets and backgrounds, but there are a number of other issues and bugs preventing it from being released

More info to come

Hey ! How are you guys progressing on the demo ?
Thank you for your work and dedication for Shenmue

will this game run on Linux?, and is it a flash game that can run in a browser?

also are there minimum spec requirements?

thanks

Shensun, I am not sure if you have a way to contact me but feel free to send me a private message whenever I have to work on the French translation.

Thanks !

If you want a Spanish version, I can help you out.

Thanks MJC The Great and code l name

The Demo is coming along great. I'm sure you guys will love it.

Right now, only windows will run the game. We'll see about Linux in the future. All PC's will be able to run it. It wont be demanding at all .
