別式女 - Besshikime

粗筋　Summary

Besshikime (別式女) were, historically, women trained as samurais to protect the house of concubines of lords (and other samurais), as a measure to prevent affairs with guards. Most of them were daughters of dojo masters, trained since their childhood to become fierce fighters.

In our game, you play as the young Tsuruginomiya Sagiri (剱ノ宮狭霧), the sole pupil of the tsuruginomiya-ryuu (剱ノ宮流) dojo. Once a prestigious warrior training ground, now crestfallen from the passage of time, with no students besides our protagonist, it is on the verge of disappearing altogether. To make matters worse, enter our villain, Tatsuhara Hebio (龍原蛇夫), a low ranking scoundrel from the local loan sharks, sent in to take the premises of the dojo by force and expand the territory under their command.

That is, if he can take on Sagiri, the spiritual successor of the besshikime of ages long past.

To retaliate, first you must pay attention to the enemy’s stance (high or low), and choose the appropriate offensive option: the side attacks (low) or the frontal attack (high).The side attacks can be performed by pressing the corresponding mouse button, left side attack (left click) and right side attack (right click), the frontal attack however, is performed by pressing W + left click simultaneously.

開発について　About/Credits

Made in two weeks (Jan 18th - Feb 1st) for the Samurai Game Jam. This was our first venture into game development, and let’s just say that we bit a little more than we could chew（笑）

It was tough, but we also learned a ton. Hopefully, we’re able to polish this prototype into a more finished state in the coming weeks, so it can come a little closer to our initial vision.

Programming, Music, SFX - Sergio Luiz Machado de Oliveira JR
