Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the coverage!! :) Just one thing we want to point out regarding the AI structure: The symbol next to the "regular" or Agressive" title is the untie condition if multiple characters are available, so for instance in regular mode the Ashigaru will target the enemy with the highest armor in range but when they are aggressive they would target the one with the lowest value. Besides that from the sequences under "regular" or "Agressive" only ONE is executed. The Ashigaru will try to execute the first one, but if it can't be fully done then will go to the second, and if not available will try the 3rd and so on. Realize that the last one is always available (move to the closest enemy of his). Besides this Michael did a great job explaining all of the info we shared with him and we hope you'll all ask for more :). Thanks again to all of you for your interested and specially to Michael for investing part of his limited time to share with you the info about our project.
We want more, I would love to see how the AI works. Does not need to be a full game, just one encounter just to see how well the AI works. I am tired of AI that is not a challenge. I would to love to see what you have done. Personally I love to see ponts of the game were you can loose but have a save point where you can start again.
Thanks for this, Michael! I've been following this project thanks to your videos and can't wait to see more things like the IA system or some more details about the campaign. It looks promising and please we would like to watch more videos. The more the merrier!
Very interesting. Will definitely be keeping an eye for more Harakiri in the future. Gameplay is king, so please keep up sharing stuff about that as well ;)
From the moment I saw it (harakiri) I have no doubt, I will go for it as soon as it comes out on KS. I'm firmly convinced that it's the KS game that nobody expects and that it's the positive surprise... for me it's a similar case to Middara.
I definitely want to know more about Harakiri. It's on my short list. The devil is in the details, and you do a good job of rooting out the details. Thanks! - toby
Yes super interested!! Wow, def will be following this one, holding off on Chronicles of Drunagor, Tanares Adventures is delivering soon so.. can only play so many games. This has some amazing potential! Would love to see skill trees, customization and leveling up of some sort. Still a HUGE fan of how Gloomhaven does leveling up. Also love how GH has 8 monster cards and after a few encounters you start to learn about what they might do. No generic move and attack.
Ever since you first showed it. Same with senkokushin. I have been hooked. I feel I need this game. I've been holding off on kickstarter for these two games. I LOVE JAPANESE everything! Lol. So yes I need more please.
friend !! I've been following him for a long time !! and Harakiri made me very Hype Hype Hype !!!! I want news from you about how the project is going !!!! 😍😍😍
This game looks very interesting! Love the artwork and personally very interested in Japanese themed games etc. The ‘dress’ is call a hakama by the way, and is actually an extremely baggy pair of trousers
Very cool looking game. The art is superb, looking forward to more content on this. I’m very interested in seeing more gameplay details especially, what makes this stand out (like open spaces)?
We feel we managed to create something fresh based on several mechanics we will be showing with the gameplays you all will have access to before the campaigns starts. Once you know it at it will be just up to you :)
@@SYNERGICGAMES thank you! The art and theme are awesome, I’m just to a point in my collection where I need something different to pull me in. I look forward to it
This looks really good! I need to see more of the gameplay 😀 ... just that the image of ashigaru kind of bothers me a little. I don't know if they meant it to be a samurai or a ronin or really ashigaru... because ashigaru are peasants, and peasants shouldnt be rich enough to own a full suit of armor, lest carrying the symbol of status which is a katana.
Hi there, Ashigaru here is the militar rank gained for some of the members for the Shogun's Army. They have access to that equipment (tanegashima matchlock) because they are members of that army. Then there are the Kachis (another kind of enemy) who have a lower level of equipment and therefore don't have access to those and focus on sword attacks and Close Quarter Combat. :)
This game look incredible. I'm so down with backing this. Where did you get the extra previews from, like the tiles and character boards? I haven't seen them on their Facebook page or BGG page Did they send them to you direct? Also, point well taken about having previews that go beyond art and renders. That's something I've been working on for us because we're definitely a bit behind on getting that info out there. As always, thanks for the video!
Hi Steve, it's great to see your interest in our game. We will post all the info included in this video soon on our FB and BGG, we just wanted to Michael to show it all to you before that :)
Yeah great point and agreed fully! It's always nice to know how a game plays, and I always find it valuable info to know when a company shares their gameplay info as a preview and not just pretty renders or art. It shows that they are confident that the gameplay itself is a selling point too :) Half the time even on the KS page you aren't sure how some of these games play :D
Hello everyone, there is one other thing we think we should comment on. During the video there has been talk about the night/day/dusk/early morning cycles and how the game will have tiles that will vary the timing during the scenarios. Just to make it clear that there will not be several versions of the same tile at different moments of the day. There will be different light conditions for different locations. So for instance whenever you go to the cemetery it will be by night (¡surprise!) As Michael commented, this means having more tiles, since you are not going to be in a night village and the next tile be some stairs at noon, but we believe it will be worth the effort and will greatly improve the theming and immersion during the game sessions. Again, thanks to all!!
ooooooh gotcha okay cool cool. When Kingdom Hearts started their whole "x blade" with a fancy x and said "key" I looked it up and saw Chi, but not Ki. Gotcha now :D
They are pretty close to the renders :) Minis are "good". (my rating tends to be garbage, below average, good, great and top tier). They fairly flat on the x plane which limits sculpt design a lot, but detail wise they hold the detail needed, but no more than that. I wouldn't suggest buying the game for the minis. It'll be interesting to see the big baddies though!
@@TheKingofAverage Ok, I think they were pritty bad, but I come from GW and have no where a realistic view on the topic. Darklight Memento Mori Minis were realy great, but I gues you don't have that game. Not the best gameplay. To compare to an other game. What you think of Death may die and Massive Darkness? Detail is better, but the designe? I am really just asking to understand you.
This looks cool, problem I have is the theme. I personally am a big fan of any type of theme. I have one friend that is really into this theme and cowboy theme. The other two people that join my game prefer space theme, and cthulhu theme respectively. However Everyone doesn't like the other theme's to the point their checked out of a game if it has that theme. Like example I played Eldritch Horror which is cthulhu theme and the one guy was enjoying it so much, other guys however were bored and basically said " I just don't get why you like this theme so much". So what ends up happening is we end up playing standard Fantasy themed games, cause everyone enjoys them.
Me: do I need another dungeon crawler? Not really - unless it does something special Also Me: have you seen the art? Have you seen the setting? Take my money.... now!
The way you rationalize this is you focus on how the theme is different (fantasy japan). That way you can excuse this to yourself and yourself as to why you need another dungeon crawler.
Hope you will get a prototype. Finaly an other setting. Drunagor is realy not my setting avter S&S. Darklight is great, and an Asian Setting. They got me, but the mechaniks have to be great.
Ki = key. Chi = chee. It seems you have a very good understanding of pronunciation of the words. I'm not sure why this is questioned. Except for hakama. Ha ka ma. His dress thing. BTW, they are pants, with two separate legs. Yes I want to know and see more about the game.
Hi Dennis, the tap word is used there just to indicate that the next activation for that enemy won't take place. It is not about any kind of resource. Anyways, as far as we know the "tap" copyright thing is more a urband legend than a fact, and even in worst case scenario we will just change the word. Thanks for your concerns though :)
Playing Forbidden Fortress right now. The best dungeon crawler I've played. And the minis are beautiful. But good luck with Harakiri being as good as SoB.. ;)

I would to love to see what you have done. Personally I love to see ponts of the game were you can loose but have a save point where you can start again.
Great, I was afraid it is really a dice role. Realy would hate that. Great that they have an AI, not like Drunagor.
But when/where can I support you and give you my money?
Awesome! totally getting it!!!!
Looks great! Really looking fwd for it's release!!!
HARAKIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Amazing, I cannot wait to see this threasure, it looks like my next best game 🥰
Might be the first kickstarter I've backed in months.
glad to read that, we will gladly be the ones breaking your streak ;)
Need more info please. So beautiful game!!!
looks great!
not backed any Kickstarters since 2019 but this and the new Vampire Hunters game will sorely test my resolve!
Nice miniatures. Some of them looks like Sub-Zero, kung lao or Goro from Mortal Kombat
This game looks very interesting! Love the artwork and personally very interested in Japanese themed games etc. The ‘dress’ is call a hakama by the way, and is actually an extremely baggy pair of trousers
Yes please more content like this and more of this ip please and thank you sir.
This looks very interesting. I hope you get a prototype and can do a gameplay video.
Impresionante, el arte, las minis, las losetas... Infinitas ganas de probarlo!!!
Very cool looking game. The art is superb, looking forward to more content on this. I’m very interested in seeing more gameplay details especially, what makes this stand out (like open spaces)?
Looks cool definitely do more coverage
It looks amazing!give us more info about it!
happy to know you liked it all, Laura :)
That women with thesnakes reminds me of a similar creature from a manga film. A bit twisted where the snakes emerge from...
Looks interesting. Will have to keep an eye on this for the future. Do you know a timeline on when they plan to launch this?
Q4 2021
please cover this game more
would like to discover it in more depth
I very much enjoy the large AI card approach to enemies. Helps to make them feel more unique from each other.
yes, AI card will be 168*120mm so it will have space enough to explain it all properly and have different behaviours for each enemy.
All-in 4 me!!!
Fantastic channel, thank you for your efforts.
You are quite welcome :)
I like the video. Hard to tell what this does different from all of the games I have coming.
We feel we managed to create something fresh based on several mechanics we will be showing with the gameplays you all will have access to before the campaigns starts. Once you know it at it will be just up to you :)
@@SYNERGICGAMES thank you! The art and theme are awesome, I’m just to a point in my collection where I need something different to pull me in. I look forward to it
I want more coverage of this game. Specially when the print copy is done. It will be fantastic to see your review
I'll be seeing it soon! :)
This looks really good! I need to see more of the gameplay 😀

good video
bring more yep
Damn my timing for a break is good.^^
A great video thats making me want to buy a game i was totally unfamiliar with..
I hope it's soloable.( it's a word)
Just need an eta on that Kickstarter
Q4 2021
Looks great! Btw, Ki is pronounced “key” in Japanese. Chi is the Chinese pronunciation.
ooooooh gotcha okay cool cool. When Kingdom Hearts started their whole "x blade" with a fancy x and said "key" I looked it up and saw Chi, but not Ki. Gotcha now :D
@@TheKingofAverage it is "KI".
ah, now I see you talking about the minis. What you think about the drunagor Minis? And how close are they for you to the renders?.....

I am really just asking to understand you.
So the fighting part will be resolved via dice rolls?
I want it, I want it now. Do we have an approximate release date and on which platform?
Q4 2021. Most probably KS but not fully decided so far.
@@SYNERGICGAMES Cant wait! All in pledge for sure if the game ends up being as good as the preview made it seem.
They are planning a true solo mode. I am all ears.
Where do I support this? Sorry, I was having audio issues if you mentioned it.
Nothing yet, looks to be Q4 2021 at the earliest. There is a link in the description you can find out more info though :)

@@freedom2663 - Spock... Is that you?
(That's exactly what I said, but in a less fun way)
My interest is definitely piqued on this one. I will be looking out for it.
I think it looks awesome, my wallet wants to commit you know what 😁
Didn't you make a more recent video? Can't find it
I did! There are 3 now, linked in the most recent video I know you've seen ;)
Hope you will get a prototype. Finaly an other setting. Drunagor is realy not my setting avter S&S. Darklight is great, and an Asian Setting. They got me, but the mechaniks have to be great.
He will :)
I’m just glad it’s not another Norse/Vikings/Nordic theme
don't know why but this makes me want to play conan
Ki = key. Chi = chee.
It seems you have a very good understanding of pronunciation of the words. I'm not sure why this is questioned.
Except for hakama. Ha ka ma. His dress thing. BTW, they are pants, with two separate legs.
Yes I want to know and see more about the game.
I guessed lucky, or enough anime has seeped into my brain, one or the other :D
This or Sankokushin. Tricky!
Instead of 200 tiles... hope it could be books (1 or 2) like jaws of the lions 😅
Isn't "tap" like a copyright/trademark by WotC? They should go check that.
Also, the way the monsters move/activate reminds me of Sword & Sorcery but a bit different.
Hi Dennis, the tap word is used there just to indicate that the next activation for that enemy won't take place. It is not about any kind of resource. Anyways, as far as we know the "tap" copyright thing is more a urband legend than a fact, and even in worst case scenario we will just change the word. Thanks for your concerns though :)
I don't doubt WotC would just love to have that copyrighted, but no clue on actuality :)
If it doesn't have a 100 boxes then maybe. :D
we got rid of our whole SoB stuff because there are games like this ... so that is a yes please :-)
I bought Forbidden Fortress hoping for something like this so right there yes ya! :D
Playing Forbidden Fortress right now. The best dungeon crawler I've played. And the minis are beautiful. But good luck with Harakiri being as good as SoB.. ;)
Bye bye money
I dont want to like it... i try to stay strong... i can withstand... at least i hope 🤷♂️
This looks great!
