This indie dev is making a game where the combat is based on real capoeira movements. - Motion captured from a real capoeirista - Fluid, dance-like combat - Inspired by Brazilian folklore It’s called Saci: Son of the Wind. Would you play this?

"Saci: Son of the Wind is a narrative game of psychological horror and exploration." this looks so cool! you can wishlist here:

A Eddy spin-off game?

it remind me of🤣

Its giving this tiktok trend where people act like they are about to fight and then just dance

😅- looks really good though!

I mean the trend is pretty enjoyable, not hating on the game just reminded me of it. :D

Precisa ter uma skin do goat!!

Oh my goodness, I took a capoeria class in college, and the amount of energy it takes to pull off these moves is something else. Just incredible that this game honors that fluid style by being so accurate!! 😱👏

You shoud take a look at this brazilian movie (Besouro, 2009). Maybe it will inspire you

First time seeing capoeira in a game was Tekken 3. Would be awesome to play as a capoeirista

He'll never be him

All depends on the input response and frame response. Animations look cool but if it's doing more animation then responding the end result will be questionable. Hoping that it comes out proper! Good luck to the team!

The movements are all from modern capoeira, it would be cool to see some headbutts and a Baiana (double leg) and Capoeira Angola movements. The character is dressed as a native African instead of a Brazilian African in the context of slavery and colonial-era clothing.

Honestly? Yeah, looks neat and I love me a good brawler. Capoeria is also a unique choice for fighting style, and id love to see more games make it an option for fighting style. Ill keep an eye out

If you want a good addition to the combat it was also common to fight holding razor blades and sometimes strapped on the ankle or between the toes of the feet. Do a quick search about "Jogo da Navalha" (the razor game) and the Maltas of Rio de Janeiro

UFC Fighter Michel Pereira uses Capoeira to an extent in the cage

nosso cenário br de desenvolvimento de jogos melhorando a cada dia!

@DBakaba check it!

No... And I am brazilian. No offense meant to the dev, but it's a sht idea. It does provide content for meme tho lmao

Who is the game developer? @IndieGameJoe

I'm Brazilian and I didn't know that! Incredible!

Capoeira isn't a martial art. It's the dance that enslaved Africans used to disguise their actual martial arts training The game concept looks great, but this misconception is a serious pet peeve of mine 😭

Da denkt man doch direkt an Eddy aus #Tekken 🙃

Jogo chama saci, mas o protagonista tem duas pernas... sei não 🤣 Zueras à parte, que ideia legal! Muito interessante.

this is cool, but the biggest problem with how ridiculously flashy capoeira is... when it comes to actually fighting, man with metal stick would just poke funny dancer to death. and knowing that kinda just kills it for me.

The most impractical martial art. Shit does not work for fighting

NICE! I've always been fascinates with Capoeira... I love Eddie Gordo and Christie Montero, but i'm really excited to see a non-fighting game incorporate that fighting style.

paizão, espero que tenha MUITA macumba na lore. vai usar o itã do saci abraçado por oya e esu? o guardião dos caminhos? caralho, que projeto foda. o enredo pode ter uma profundidade maior do que todos os AC misturados.

Man that combat system is gonna be complex, but motion matching should make that a lot easier these days.

looks like a great idea. should just look into the impacts, Half Sword has great feel on impacts and its also a small project physics based engine -maybe get some ideas form there.

If it feels as good as it looks, yes I would.

There was this guy who used to perform some capoeira moves in mma, it was pretty cool ngl

looks retarded lol

capoeira is so shit. who tf fights with techniques with so many big spins from EVERY stance.
