GOKEN v1.4.0 - полная версия

It's finally here people!

Since GOKEN's Early Access release back in July, it's hard to believe that it has already been two full months...

With great help from the community and insights from extremely helpful reviewers, GOKEN has reached a stage where we feel comfortable saying that it is now a full retail product!

Allow us to "re-introduce" you to GOKEN.


-Scenario-

Long ago, when gods lived amongst people...

There lived a swordsman who was given five swords forged by god himself.

Using these swords, the swordsman brought peace and order to the world.

People called the swordsman, "Wielder of the Five Swords"...

One day, during a fete to praise the gods, the blades of the swordsman turn against the gods for reasons unknown.

One of the gods, Ozone, furious with all his powers, sealed the swordsman away at the top of a mountain now known as Swords Peak.

This tale begins 5,000 years after the battle between the two, near the small village of Cardina.



-Game Overview-

Seamless open-world game mechanics
While the game features a rather old school “quarter view” mechanic, the map transitions and event scenes, even the combat is all seamless as can be to enhance the overall gaming experience.

Real time strategic action battle system
Utilizing 2 primary attack buttons, users can assign different weapons to each button to create a unique combo that fits the users need as they go. Monsters, bosses and stage gimmicks can require a specific type of weapon at times creating opportunities for users to strategize their best route of approach.

Customizable Tattoo system
Utilizing "tattoos", users are given specific points upon leveling to get the protagonist inked as a form of powering up so it could be built to one’s own. Raising MAX HP and Stamina, learning new and special moves are just a few of many ways players are able to customize their character depending on their play style.



Improvements made during Early Access

-Completely re-tuned the stamina system.
-Added ability to "sprint/"
-Adjusted weapon balance for each weapon to stand out more.
-Added support for Linux / Steam OS/ (yay!)
-Added extra scenarios for users to play.
-Added additional bosses to fight in case the game wasn't difficult enough >:D
-Added Side Quests for more game play.
-Added an "Endless Colosseum" mode for even MORE game play.
-New and improved Tattoo System 2.0 for character customization.
-Wiz Point system for even MORE character customization.
-Performance enhancements to rid those pesky stutters.
-Fixed many bugs and spelling errors.

Let us hear your voices in the forums, and as always, thank you for all your support!

Thanks for the wait guys!

We just released a new patch for GOKEN!

This hotfix includes the following.

-New Locations for Nimbus Cotton
We added more locations to where players can access with the Nimbus Cotton. Now players can land right in front of visited dungeons.

-Improved Balance in Combat
Made various adjustments for weapons in combat. Some weapons should feel a lot stronger than how they previously did. Find out which one in-game!

-Improved Game Performance
The system has been revamped to greatly improve performance compared to previous versions of GOKEN. Many of the stuttering issues should be fixed with this update if the previous one hadn't!

-Renewed Tattoo System
The Tattoo system has been renewed both graphically and systematically. The screen should make more sense now and customizability has been greatly increased.

WARNING
The update to the tattoo system required us to reset all ink points. All skills unlocked at the parlor have been reset after this update. (All ink points have been returned to players.)

Other Bug Fixes
Many small bugs have also been fixed, both that have been reported and not.


Let us know what you think about this update and tell us what you think about the update and what you would like more!

GOKEN takes another big step towards its full release with our 1.2.0 update released!



Here's what we have to offer...

-Wiz Points
A new customization option "Wiz Points" is added to further enable players to customize their hero to their liking.
Find the Tat Wiz somewhere in the world to receive "Wiz Points." The cooler your tattoo is, the more points you will receive!


-Quests
Aside from the main story, we have now added "Quests" to be played on the side with an all new interface supporting the system.
Complete these quests to receive items that will aid your journey and looting!


-Additional Story
A few extra episodes have been added to the main story!
These stories contain some new dungeons and very powerful bosses, even for those who have already beaten the game are sure to be challenged... BE AWARE.



-Cloud Saving
Cloud saving is added for those who plan on playing GOKEN cross platforms.
Make sure to "save" in-game prior to using this feature as the save file itself needs to be updated.

We are, unfortunately, experiencing trouble transfering save datas to and from Steam OS.
i.e.
Steam OS to Windows OS
(Steam OS to Steam OS works flawlessly.)

We are working on a fix but in the mean time, please do not attempt transfering your save from Steam OS to another operating system.


-Game Balance
The enemies have been almost entirely revamped to better fit the new environment.
Due to the players extreme buff by the new Wiz Point system, the game should feel a lot more challenging.


-Others
Some minor bugs have been tweaked out.


This update contains many new content and systems, so much and so, that players who have already beat the game are sure in for a surprise! (and a challenge of course!)

I'd like to use this opportunity to thank everyone again for their continued support and hope you enjoy this new chapter of GOKEN!

-Fixed a bug which prevented certain saved files to load properly
-Improved game play when using certain weapons
-Removed enemies from areas where they were not supposed to spawn in

Hello guys.
It's come to our attention that we had a critical bug that prevented some users with outdated dll files from booting GOKEN.

These users would have experienced a hang just after the GIANTY splash logo upon booting the game.

Seeing this as a rather critical issue, we decided to release a patch to fix specifically this error.

We apologize for any inconvenience we have caused until now.

Stay tuned for future updates and keep your voices coming!
