KamunagiOfChains

Introduction

This is 50% my vision of what a more mechanically diverse and nearly "perfect" Artificer would look like (with better perma-flight a la Ion Surge)

and 50% a love letter to one two of my favorite characters from my favorite video game ever made: Utawarerumono.

The Kamunagi of Chains are a caster character designed such that you can spec into survivability, raw dps, mobility, or summoning an army, but usually not all of those at once.

Ability Details

Credits

• me, for envisioning this project and bringing it to fruition. I concepted all the skill ideas, made (or edited) all of the VFX, did all the SFX, worked in Unity animator controller hell, wrote all of the Secondaries, most of the Utilities, The Great Sealing, Light of Nature's Axiom, and Soei Musou: Hono Gekko.

• Bubbet for co-developing this entire mod with me and making ConcentricContent. Additional contributions include the zeal bar, the health overlay on Mashiro's Blessing, multiplayer compatability and networking, actually making the soundtrack replacement code work, helping port the project to SotS, and fixing 10 trillion errors in EffectManager. He also wrote Woshis' Miasma, Atuy's Sweeping Tides, Soei Musou: Seed, both passives, and all of the Divine Skills.

Known Issues

-- All feedback is welcome! Feel free to mention me in the RoR2 Modding Discord @Unit_9_Type_S

• Jump pads will lock your movement to zero if you use Dark Ascension without touching the ground after using them
• Clay templar tar blast will permanently force you in a direction until you land

Misc. Dev Comments

The Kamunagi are somewhat lacking in animations for a couple reasons

• Working with two skeletons is pretty difficult not to mention tedious
• With Artificer as my precedent, she doesn't really have cast anims with a lot of motion either so shrug
• You're intended to be flying a lot of the time and making animations that work both on the ground and in the air is very tricky
• I'm not asking someone to animate this shit
• Animations are also expensive

Future Plans

• Fix bugs
• That's it. I spent a really long time making this, I already did the plans
• Maybe item displays after I do a line of coke
