| IMPORTANT UPDATE ON ROGUE SAMURAI – THANK YOU FOR THE JOURNEY! | 2025-04-22 | Hey Samurai, I grew up in a small village, and my favorite memories from childhood involve the breeze gently sweeping through lush green fields, making everything look like a painting.

Because of this personal connection, I put my heart into making the game, but as a first-time developer, I couldn’t fully translate this vision into reality. For this, I truly apologize. We've had an amazing journey together since the launch of Rogue Samurai. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and support have meant everyt |

| Rogue Samurai - Devlog 0 | 2024-02-20 | Hey everybody, I'm Alican. 3D artist of the team. And this is the story of how started making Rogue Samurai. This is devlog 0. So I will start from the beginning. I had never read any manga before in my life. I hadn't watched much anime either. But a friend from work kept talking to me about this anime, Berserk. So, I decided to read the manga first and then watch the anime. I fell in love with this series and started searching for more content similar to it.
