Final Release Date for Y5 Co-op + Current Plans

Hello everyone, Yakuza 5 co-op will come out on the 10th of July, date is set in stone and there will be no more delays, if you have paid attention, i added an extra week because continously working on these have burnt me out bad and took a toll on my mental health

Following the release of the mod, i will be focusing on Y0 Co-op and Like A Brawler 7 Kiwami, i originally wasnt expecting to start on Like A Brawler 7 Kiwami this soon but it has been enjoyable so i imagine myself working ...

Expanding This Fight

Deleted a post earlier because it was the wrong video, oops!

Waiting for animation to be done for Y5 Co-op so i decided to do more work on Like A Brawler 7 Kiwami. One thing i always wanted to do was to add NPC support (like how there are some sections in Yakuza 8) although there can be only one supporter active at a time (because RGGS spaghetti code) its better than nothing and lets me add Kiryu as a supporter for this battle for instance. I also intend on expanding this battle to make...

Its Happening

Like A Brawler 7 Kiwami that brings Like a Brawler 8 features is officially underway. Yakuza 5/0/YK1 co-op is still top priority so don't expect updates on this soon. Just setting things up so i have something to work with when the time comes, just testing bare minimum functionality with Ichiban's LAB8 moveset automatically converted

Work Goes On

The cutscenes are still being animated so i can't show much but great things are happening for the Shinada chapter. Let us cook, there will be no more delays

Release Delay Imminent

As much as i was hoping to release this mod on the 20th, cutscene work and bugs, on top of having to record the big video its unrealistic that it would be out on 2 days, i'm looking into a 1-2 week delay to get everything sorted out which should be plenty of time. I sincerely apologize for the delay. On other news, the Y5 Co-op build i uploaded recently was updated again which fixes several crashes. If you were experiencing them, redownloading the rar and installing the mod again will (hopefu...

Y5 Co-op Build

The most complete build of the mod i have so far. Includes the new Shinada cutscenes, one Haruka cutscene was remade, all encounter dynamic intros now have co-op variations, dance battle start intro for co-op. New settings were added to the INI file (AI Controlled Ichiban, Disappear on Talk Cutscenes) the mod might get delayed by 1-2 weeks, i'm not fully sure yet, mainly because Janfon1 has returned and i want to finish what cutscenes are left (I have some amazing ideas for Shinada) i also ne...

Rare Battle Intro

I have been meaning to add this to the co-op mod. I'll add it to some battles but not all of them and limit to Shinada/Akiyama only (i think its unfitting for Kiryu and Saejima and as we know Haruka cant fight)

Almost Final Build Soon-ish And Yakuza 0/1 Co-op Plans

Hey everyone! I'll be releasing what is probably the near final version (unless i make any addittions) on the 14-15th, the mod comes out on 20th. I still have around 3-4 cutscene ideas on my head (particularly around Shinada-Akiyama/Haruka chapters) and i hope i can do them before release. I'm sorry i don't have much to show recently but the mod is nearing completion and things should change around when i start the next co-op mod.

After the mod is done we'll move to Yakuza 0/Kiwami Co-...

Small Stuff

As we slowly approach the release of Yakuza 5 co-op and prepare for the journey of Yakuaz 0 co-op i'm just mainly wrapping things up, i dont think i will be adding much to the mod in the upcoming 1-2 weeks but i may just have one last surprise for all of you depending on if i manage to make it happen or not

No Friend No Problem

One of the youtube comments suggested that i add a setting to make Ichiban AI controlled (which kinda defeats the purpose of the mod, dont you think?) but considering that this is more than just a mod that spawns a second player, in that sense that it has its own cutscenes, action sequences and movesets, it made sense to add that feature. When this setting is enabled, Ichiban will assist you in battles and also appear in any minigames, not all co-op cutscenes may play but most of them will 2025-06-04 18:32:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Current Release Plan For Yakuza 5 Co-op

I'm thinking of releasing the mod on the 16-20th, after that, i'll move onto Yakuza 0 Co-op as that's the next project everyone has overwhelmingly voted in favor of

On my last youtube video, people have overwhelmingly requested me to add Ichiban to the game UI as well (i even got Discord messages about it, that has never happened before) so i have been working on that. I'll probably add him to the top left in taxi minigame as well

One interesting feature that someone requested tha...

Project Poll

Just gauging interest again on what yall care about the most after Yakuza 5 Co-op comes out

This time, i added some batshit insane ideas to the mix as well

Y5Coop 1.03b Update

Here's the big update at last! As always, please read the information below to ensure everything goes accordingly. All patrons have been credited on the mod description as well (if you are missing or want to be credited differently, please let me know!)

Don't forget to update Y5Lib from the libraries tab in SRMM to version 0.12 (important!)

Also update your Shin Ryu Mod Manager to at least v4.5.7! (Super duper important!)

New settings have been added to the INI file and one ...

Current Tag Teams + Future Plans

Here are the current tag teams i have for the mod (some need SFX and VFX work) i'm thinking when Yakuza 5 co-op comes out next month, i'll balance my time and effort around Yakuza 3 co-op and Like A Brawler Kiwami (remaking the yakuza 7 brawler mod with knowledge i have from Like a Brawler 8)

I also apologize for the consistent delays on the upcoming update of Yakuza 5 co-op but i take pride in my work and i'd rather not release something half arsed

Tiny Delay But Good News

I'll be postponing the update by just a little but good news is one of the most requested features - tag team heat actions will be part of the mod and the next update!

Update Soon

Hello guys, hope all of you are doing well. I will be releasing the big Y5 Co-op update tomorrow or the day after, i ended up giving him two of his heat actions from Like A Brawler 8, improved his voicelines and gave him a new downed attack, currently his moveset is good enough for a release and i'm just ensuring the mod works as intended before sending it right over to you guys!

Almost Done With Ichiban's Movest

I knew i said i would drop a update soon, but i have decided to delay it till his moveset is ready . Not much is left other than adding some basic effects, improving hit strength and improving Ichiban's sounds (preventing things like Ichiban shouting KURAE or OURYAHH twice in a row)

I've also had the opportunity to fix so many bugs, including some annoying crashes and fixing Ichiban's heat actions (the bug where it appeared as Kiryu doing it although Ichiban performed it), i think the ...

Ichiban Moveset Progress

Working on a script that automatically converts a Dragon Engine moveset onto Yakuza 5 (in this instance, Ichiban's Like A Brawler 8 moveset) and the result is not bad at all, just a few improvements and the thing will mostly be finished and i just need to do the finishing touches like fixing up any animation bugs

Ichiban Moveset Survey

I recently found out how to give Ichiban a custom moveset for the co-op mod, just making a poll to see what moveset people would like to see him use

Not to worry, there will be a setting in the mod that lets you give him any moveset you want (including current player) this is just the default moveset he is gonna have.

Further Progress

I hope everyone is doing well. As always i have been working on refining the co-op mode for its release next month. Ichiban now has battle start anims, i fixed several crashes, and i have actually managed to fix the princess league/idol practice softlock bug! Will hopefully release an update here soon along with new cutscenes included as well

Yakuza 5 Co-op Release Date

I will be releasing the co-op mod in June! I initially intended to keep this as a very basic mod but the outpouring support from you guys has enabled me to pay animators and turned this mod to the same ambitious giant Like A Brawler 8 was (maybe even more ambitious!), Janfon1 is doing an AMAZING job and continues to make new custom co-op cutscenes that don't mess with the narrative of the game of course. Here's the progress on the current one

Y5 Co-op Haruka Bugfix

Just a small hotfix file for Yakuza 5 co-op. This removes ichiban from dance practices and idol battles which can prevent you from progressing the game when you finish them. Unfortunately at this moment i havent been able to fix the softlocking problem so removing it for the time being, i have a few ideas on how to fix it and if they dont work chances are Ichibum will not be returning for those segments. Install this on top of 1.02b, overwrite the files

Yakuza 5 Co-op Survey

I'm only asking this to those of you have played and tested out the different camera modes in the mod (although i suppose i wont stop you from voting here if you did neither)

Which camera felt the best for you in overworld? (Aka not in battles)

Y5Coop 1.02b

This update updates some of the cutscenes in the Akiyama chapter and adds a new one. Also fixes the mod forgetting the input device type for player 1 when using two controller setups

I also updated the credits list of course

The installation/usage instructions can be found here (nothing has changed)

Yakuza 5 Co-op Update Soon-ish?

Hey everybody! Hopefully the mod will be updated with new cutscenes soon. Janfon1 recently joined the mod team to make custom cutscene animations for the mod and they have been AMAZING! I have also been reading your bugreports and fixing them and if everything goes accordingly to plan, the mod will be out fully in 1-2 months for everybody and then we'll be moving right to Yakuza 3 Co-op! Here's a clip of a work in progress cutscene

Yakuza 5 Co-op 1.01b

Hey everyone! The new version of the mod is available now.

Please read below carefully as there is new information that is important!

Y5Lib was updated to 0.11, so don't forget to update it from Libraries tab in SRMM

It is now recommended to enable Steam Input instead of disabling it.

Various bugfixes and improvements have been made to the mod.

Please check the mod settings ini file at least once to ensure everything is configured to your liking.

New camer...

Camera Improvements

One of the complaints was that it was really difficult to navigate small areas because it would frequently clip out of the wall. I also took the opportunity to improve that a little so that the camera can get even closer to the player when they are standing close to eachother

A reminder that you can and will be able to edit camera settings in the mod ini file. I also added more settings for that in the upcoming update

Another Yakuza 5 Co-op Update

Hello gamers. I got my xbox 360 controller today and i have been able to fix the controller bug. There is also a 70% chance the mod will now support two controllers (i've had success with Xbox 360 and some cheap gamepad) hopefully i'll be able to release the update soon!

Yakuza 5 Co-op Update

Hello guys, some of you have reported that Xbox controllers dont work with the mod. And i have tested it with several people and can verify that the mod does not take inputs from xbox controllers right now. Current workaround is to emulate it as a dualshock controller with DS4Windows. I have ordered a xbox 360 controller and i'm just waiting for it to be delivered so i can look into fixing it. Thank you for your patience
