• BRUTAL KATANA v1.0.4 - 8 December 2024

  Added shader compilation to the startup sequence of the game. This will make the gameplay experience smoother for lower-end hardware and will also make sure that the experience is smoother in the following scenarios: after a graphics driver update, after purposeful/accidental clearing of shader cache, and after updating to newer versions of BRUTAL KATANA. Fixed the texture sampling for UI textures, they now look silky smooth again! Fixed a typo in the ending cutscenes' dialogue.

  Added more resolutions to the Display > Resolution setting. Added ambience to Main Menu (had forgotten to unmute it lol). Added setting to mute game audio when the game window is not in focus. Can be toggled with Audio > Mute UnFocused Window setting. Minor 3D rendering optimizations. The game's frames per seconds no longer drops as much when rendering the Level Complete Menu. The music in the credits sequence is now affected by the Audio > Music Volume setting. Fixed a targeting system bug. Fixed the Display > Resolution setting only showing a max resolution of 1920x1080 due to a bug. Now resolutions larger than 1080p are available for monitors that support them.
