Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last game update (we are far more active and informative on the Gensokyo Odyssey Discord server) and I've come with a lot of news regarding the game.
First off, the game update itself. This update is v2.0 and includes quite a large amount of changes.
- Subtitles added to all the cutscenes, you can turn them on in the Preferences menu
- 3 new achievements in the fights
- A new "overtime" phase has been added to the secret boss, giving an alternate way to defeat them
- Dialogue has been added to Kakkoi's boss fight (MORE LORE!! YAHOOO!!!!)
- Resolution now defaults to whatever resolution you'd like to set it to
- New dialogue has been added to the Blackjack Minigame
- Fixed a softlock when playing Blackjack immediately after beating the game for the first time
- Bug fixes on some fights
- A few more QoL additions that I forgot to mention
This update also introduces the Russian localization of the game! For the first time since the game's release, people who aren't fluent in English can enjoy the game. This is the first of what I hope to be many translations of the game. People from all over the world deserve the chance to be able to enjoy the game, so if you'd like to localize the game for your language, feel free to contact us at [email protected]
In other news, I'll be adding a new post-game minigame, Kakkoi's Money Laundromat. This has been mentioned on the Gensokyo Odyssey discord server and is more frequently discussed there.
Kakkoi went and gambled all her money on blackjack. Idiot. What better way to get her money back than to "take back" what's rightfully hers, in the form of a daring robbery? Or two? Or ten? Or as many as it takes to get it all back? With a little style, a little cunning, and a lot of adrenaline, Kakkoi... wait, if people see her robbing again they might remember her, and the police most certainly will if she gets caught! That's right, we're gonna let Okuu, Kakkoi's trusty right-hand and muscle, do the robbing. After all, she likes blowing people up.
But with all that new hard-earned moola, you can't just go around town with bags of cash! Luckily, Kakkoi has the perfect solution: money laundering! Set up a few front businesses, open a casino or two (maybe even gamble your cash there!), and voila - clean, legitimate money. Upgrade Okuu's heist skills by teaching her what and what not to do in robberies, persuade other characters and their businesses to join you via charisma or blackmail, pimp out your room, and watch your fortune grow.
Just remember to keep your schemes discreet, because if the police catch on, it's game over! Stay one step ahead of the law... and your own greed!
I have a much larger content update planned after development on this is complete, so stay tuned. Other than that, have a good day and a happy Halloween in advance! (please dont scare the children with a kakkoi cosplay)
