KimetsuCraft - KC

Highlights

• Fixed several dedicated server crashes.
• Water, Flame and Demon techniques now have dedicated sound effects, with cues that follow the caster and line up better with each technique.
• First-person technique animations now work when Player Animator is installed, with client options for arm visibility.
• Combat Settings now brings skill slots, HUD mode, mouse wheel lock, and first-person animation options into one screen.
• The official wiki is now live at kimetsucraft.pages.dev.

Gameplay

• Stat progression is now smoother and more configurable. Server owners can tune each stat curve, and changes apply immediately to players and loaded NPCs.
• Demons have lower health, damage, and regeneration overall.
• Rengoku and Giyu were rebalanced to better fit the current progression.
• Flame Breathing received small damage increases on non-Rengoku techniques.
• Concentration now gives stronger stamina gains early and tapers near the stat cap.
• Water Wheel is more reliable, with one extra hit, a slightly later first hit, and improved movement/fall handling during startup.
• Slayer NPCs no longer damage Slayer players by default. Player-versus-player damage is unchanged.

Audio and VFX

• Added dedicated Water Breathing sounds for Water Surface Slash, Surging Current, Flowing Dance, Water Wheel, Drop Ripple Thrust, Whirlpool, Constant Flux, and Dead Calm.
• Added dedicated Flame Breathing sounds for Blazing Chain, Unknowing Fire, Ember Guard, Rising Scorching Sun, Blazing Universe, Blooming Undulation, Flame Tiger, and Rengoku.
• Rengoku now has charge, dragon spawn, rush, bite, and explosion audio cues for both players and NPCs.
• Added dedicated Demon technique sounds for Predator Leap, Frenzied Claws, Blood Area, and Blood Slash, with pitch that varies by demon variant.
• Removed placeholder sounds from Water and Flame techniques, including Ember Guard.
• Polished several Flame, Water, and Demon visual effects, including Water Wheel, Dead Calm, Flowing Dance, Surging Current, Flame Tiger, Rengoku, and Demon Bite.
• Fixed some visual effects that could fail to render in release builds.
