Hello!

New KAUNA update has arrived. This time focus has been on creating first boss fight and fixing more and less ugly bugs.

There are also couple of new sound effects and unique boss line (thanks to Antti Kokko). 

First Boss - Mega Baron X

After completing level E1M4 player will go to new E1M5 which is now boss level. Old E1M5 map was incomplete and I decided to shelf it for now and replace it with first boss fight. Once player triggers boss enemy's attention, the fight starts and boss health bar appears at the top of the screen.

Mega Baron X is a giant Baron enemy which shoots grenades and hits player with lightning strike if it gets close enough.

Note! Boss 3D model is not final one and is currently using default Baron enemy 3d model

Lightning Sword pick up

Lightning sword pick up enhances player sword with lightning. When sword it thrown it will hit nearby enemies with thunder bolt, similar that new boss enemy uses.

Sword is not currently available in levels E0M1 - E1M4, but after completing boss level E1M5 there is a way to get the sword when ever you like...

Bug fixes

Some of the nasty game breaking bugs has been fixed (thanks to Goony124!), in example if player saved without picking up any weapons it would crash after loading. 

Harpy demon enemy AI was also fixed and it will not get stuck on ceilings anymore and will try to attack player properly if in range.

Full list of fixes are listed below.

What next

In next release I have been planning to create new level, update boss enemy 3D model and add more details to existing levels.
