What is inside

SERVER-AUTHORITATIVE COMBATDamage, posture, parry windows, stamina, cooldowns, executions and ults are all decided on the server. Clients send intents and render the event stream — the anti-cheat is the architecture.
PROCEDURAL ANIMATIONPose clips authored in character space, conjugated onto each rig's Motor6D joints — one data set drives R6 players, R15 players and NPC ronin identically. Trails ride the blade only during the strike window.
AI THAT PLAYS BY YOUR RULESRonin read real attack windups and react with human delays — blocking, parrying, punishing whiffs, heavy-breaking turtles, executing you when your posture shatters. Fog dulls their eyes.
A HAND-BUILT WORLDStone duel arena, vermillion torii, three-tier pagoda, dojo with training dummies, cherry trees shedding petals, bamboo groves, stone lanterns, koi pond, ink mountains — all parts and terrain, built at boot.
FIVE WEATHERS + BLOOD MOONBlood Sunset, Full Moon fireflies, Storm with thunder-flashes, First Snow, Ghost Fog. Every ~8 minutes the Blood Moon rises: deeper night, doubled rewards.
PERSISTENCE & PROGRESSIONCoins, XP, levels, kills, wins and parries saved via DataStore with retries, autosave and shutdown flush. Leaderstats on the player list. Every reward number lives in one Config file.

Tune it

Every number in the game — parry window, posture decay, attack timings, stance multipliers, weather palettes, AI reaction times, coin rates — lives in ReplicatedStorage/Shared/Config. Edit in Studio's Explorer, or edit the source tree and rebuild with python3 scripts/build_rbxlx.py (Rojo users: default.project.json is included).

Audio uses engine-built-in rbxasset:// sounds so nothing can fail to load; drop licensed catalog ids into Shared/Sounds whenever you're ready for richer ambience.
