Kura5 V0.2 Update Notes!


Here's all the stuff that's new this update!


Technical

  • Squashed tons and tons of bugs. (Emil refused to eat them, however.) Updated the engine from Unity 4 to Unity 2017.
  • Gave the game a graphical makeover, tons of shaders and models have been updated/cleaned up.
  • Polished UI
  • WeatherSync's Geolocator API has changed to geoplugin. We still use OpenWeatherMap for tracking weather.
  • You can now specify Celsius or Fahrenheit for temperature display.
  • For people who have trouble reading the boktai font, you can swap it to OpenDyslexic in the options menu.

Art

  • The music has been refreshed. Other songs have been replaced: a remix of Battle Drive has replaced the old purification theme.
  • Annie and Emil's portraits have been updated, and new ones have been added.
  • Some older models have been updated too. (Annie and Emil now have actual chins, Boks look more Bokky, etc.)
  • Camera post processing been adjusted for better colors.

Mechanics

  • Added equippable weapons and gun frames. They can be obtained either via exploring or defeating bosses in their respective purifications.
  • New magic system: Annie can summon various creatures to help her deal with the undead, while Emil can use transformation magic.
  • Added tons of items: including fresh tomatoes, mooncakes, biscuits, healer, steak, and more.
  • Purification no longer happens immediately after the boss fight. You must now drag the coffin outside to begin purification.
  • Purification minigame for the daytime now resembles that of boktai1's. The night version has been changed too.
  • Combat has been tweaked to feel less sluggish.
  • Emil can now perform Zero Shift if you attack when a counter indicator pops up on the target reticle.
  • Emil's parry move can deflect projectiles. Rolling and attacking at the same time allows for an alt-attack.
  • New targeting system: you can now swap targets. Wall tapping/wall sneaking has made a return.
  • Chocolate melting, except it melts in heat instead of sunlight.
  • You can now reset a room using Dark Loans. However, you cannot yet take out a loan.
  • But you should still repay what you owe :)

World

  • The entire story has been heavily rewritten.
  • The story's path will change depending on whether you play the game during the night/during the day.
  • Added Folun, Voodoo Dolls, Skeletons, and other enemies to the world.
  • The Wadjet Temple and the Ghost Town have had their layouts updated. Two Undead dungeons have been added.
  • Small things in the world might change based off of moon phase too.

San Miguel

  • The Solar Bank, Item Shop, Library, and Annie's house is open.
  • There's a lot of new people to talk to while in-town.
  • You can talk to Toasty to exchange Lunar Knights/Boktai DS passwords for rewards.
