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 a variety of roles based on the skills you equip.

Credits

• me (Nines), for envisioning this project and bringing it to fruition. I concepted all the skill ideas, made all of the VFX, set up 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, item display code, 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.

• bee9k for the model

• _ahvi for the animations

• Violet Chaolan for giving me guidance on Wwise and helping with the soundtracks

• dgosling for providing me with the swirling chains visual effect and fixing the shader to work with Prime Meridian and Sulfur Pools postprocessing <3

• previous code contributions for Sobu Gekishoha, Soei Musou: Jinsoku, and passive skill swapping by Dragonyck

• sounds and music taken from Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth

Additional Special Thanks

Known Issues

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

• When rebinding skills, make sure to navigate with controller if you're using controller or navigate with k&m if you're using k&m, clicking with the mouse and rebinding with a controller input doesn't work. This is a vanilla problem and also extends to ExtraSkillSlots.
• Jump pads will lock your movement to zero if you use Proxy Apotheosis without touching the ground after using them
• Clay templar tar blast tends to permanently force you in a direction until you land(?)
• Summon Nugwisomkami has some difficult networking issues to trace, so it's disabled for people who aren't the host
• The particle FX for Honoka's Veil are broken somehow. I presume this is another "Gearbox removed grandparent boulder" situation. I'll fix it at some point

Misc. Dev Comments

The Kamunagi have item displays too, but only as many as I felt like doing/ thought wouldn't look out of place. Most reds, yellows, void items, and items that "follow" you are done. I also did most of the Seeker's items too.

The mobility skills are available in either the Divine Skill slot or the Utility skill slot, to maximize available skill combinations.

Comes with 3 custom soundtracks that play during the teleporter event on Titanic Plains, Sundered Grove, and Siren's Call.

The Kamunagi are somewhat lacking in animations for a couple reasons

• Working with two skeletons is pretty difficult not to mention tedious
• Using 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

The animations they do have are based off of their moveset from Utawarerumono ZAN 2

Future Plans

• Fix bugs
• maybe make Mashiro's Blessing a shareable buff
• That's it. I spent a really long time making this, I already did the plans
