About AI

I did used AI to make some texts for the game. 

On this update, I have replaced all AI generated texts with mine with tiny help from AI to fix my grammar (I’m no english speaker)

I will no longer use AI for any creative part (Art, Text, Sound, Images) on my game in the future

- Tons of bug fixes and adjustments for playtesters.

- New Areas for YMIR!

- Achievements!

Fixed the issue that caused the loss of game progress

Hey Demon Hunters!

It’s been a while since our last update—and we’ve been very busy behind the scenes. From level design to new gameplay mechanics, visuals, and UI polish, there’s a lot to share. Here’s a full breakdown of what we’ve been working on.

We’ve officially started grayboxing the next levels! This means we're laying out the structure of new stages, testing flow, and figuring out how traversal and combat feel in these new environments.

▶️ Partial walkthrough of Level 2:

• New food sprites added (yum!)
  

• We're mocking up character checkpoint scenes for Kenzo, Nezumo, and Akana—these will act as spots where you can change loadouts or upgrade skills.

We’ve implemented cutscenes into the current demo! These are now playable and help ground the narrative as you move through the story.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the new zones we’re planning:

• Ruins Area

  

• Castle Dungeon Area

  

• Castle Tower Weekly Updates

  

• Updated Throne Room

• Vault Mockup

  

• Lost City

Each area has its own distinct vibe, from eerie dungeons to crumbling temples.

We’re experimenting with more reactive environments, including:

• Crumbling Platform Tiles

  

• Shoji Screens

We’re starting to mock up the tower climb level. Akana begins at the base after Nezumo rides the elevator up—your job is to climb, fight, and reach Mathonas at the summit. The tower is pagoda-style, with red wooden beams, ornate decor, and vertical traversal challenges.

We’ve begun layering environmental details—like rubble from broken staircases—to give each scene more depth and visual texture.

• Visual Clarity Improvements for Key Scenes

  • We reduced NPCs.

  • Added a more defined main character outline.

  • Introduced an arrow indicator to cut down visual clutter and enhance visibility in key scenes.

• Kenzo Swimming Upgrade

  • Now swims fast and fluidly, with a new animation by @MetalZebra.

  • Walls now react better during swim mode.

  • Enemies slow down in shallow water, and instantly die if they fall into deep water.

• Loadout Screen Progress

  • Weapon selection now functional!

  • UI now populates correctly when switching secondary weapons.

  • SFX/VFX still in progress.

• Seal System In Progress

  A new system to grant passive perks and modifiers during each run. These are based on Shinto and Buddhist seals with abstract, symbol-based designs—think Hollow Knight charms. Here are some mocks we are considering:

  [carousel][/carousel]

• KG Rushdown Move Added

  • Includes a three-hit, multi-weapon combo with a new “slam” finisher.

The keyboard layout now updates based on the player’s selected language, helping international users get the most intuitive experience.

Here’s a quick recap:

• Localized into 14 languages:
  Arabic, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Portugal & Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Spain & Latin America).

• Kenzo’s Fury Demo Launched October 1st
