Major Combat & Progression Update

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since the last development update, and a lot has happened behind the scenes. Over the past few months I've been focused on expanding the core gameplay, polishing existing systems, and making every fight feel deeper and more rewarding.

Here's a look at what's new!

🥋 Brand-New Combat Mechanics

⚡ Stun System

🛡️ Counter Attack System

🌳 Completely Redesigned Skill Tree

New Combat Techniques

Unlock powerful martial techniques including:

• 🔥 Fire Fist

• 👁️ Revelation Eye

• 🌳 Wood Trunk Replacement

• 👊 Giant Fist

• 🎭 Attack Feint

• ♻️ Recall

• 🔄 Attack & Block Transmutators

New Fighting Style

Players can also unlock an entirely new martial arts style:

🥋 Jeet Kune Do

Rather than simply changing stats, this introduces an entirely different fighting style with its own animation set.

🎁 New Dynamic Reward System

The post-fight reward system has been completely redesigned.

Instead of simple one-off rewards, rewards are now built from modular combinations of:

• Buffs

• Conditions

• Penalties

This allows rewards to create meaningful decisions instead of simply granting stat increases.

Current reward effects include:

• Restore Life

• Restore Endurance

• Automatically reinforce your weakest endurance zone

• Temporary combat restrictions

• Random-choice modifiers

• Technique limitations

• Multiple reward durations (actions, sequences, entire fights, or full levels)

The entire system is data-driven, allowing many more reward combinations to be added in future updates.

🎮 Full Controller Support

Controller support has been expanded across the entire game.

Every major interface now supports smooth gamepad navigation, including:

• Main Menu

• Skill Tree

• Settings

• World Map

• Tutorial

• Combat

• Reward Selection

💥 Animation & Visual Improvements

Combat has received a major visual polish pass.

New additions include:

• Improved attack animations

• New blocking animations

• Dash and movement smoke effects

• Aura and buff visual effects

• Better hit timing

• Improved shader loading to eliminate first-hit stuttering

🌲 New Content

The world continues to grow with new content including:

• Forest Entrance environment

• New ninja characters

• Additional props

• Improved belt progression

• Better XP balancing

Thank you all for continuing to follow the development of Kung Fu Addiction.

Every update brings the game closer to the experience I've envisioned from the beginning, and there's still plenty more to come. I can't wait to share the next milestones with you!

If you haven't already, don't forget to wishlist the game and let me know what feature you're most excited to try!
