KH3 Light vs. Darkness [PC mod]
@kh3lvd.bsky.social
We're the team behind the "Light vs. Darkness" PC mod for #KingdomHearts 3! This fan-made #gamemod is a full rebalance of KH3's gameplay, adding depth, mechanics, music and enhancements.

There are several unused animations for playable characters in "Kingdom Hearts III". Among them, one for the Superglide ability (superseding the regular Glide).

There's a reference to this in in-game files listing abilities: "グライド ( Lv1 ~ Lv2 ※Lv2はスーパーグライド ) 空中で□ボタンを押すと、□ボタンを放すまで自由に飛ぶことが出来る"

Some improvements to the behaviour of party members for the next update! Here, you can use a special combat style ("Commando") to instruct an ally to always attack your target and to follow your actions.

It's useful if, in battle, you want to actively control more than one character at once!

One more battle example, with Goofy, Baymax and Donald fighting Nobodies themselves!

Note: this is post-game footage! To make your allies this strong, you'll have to go through the main story to level up, get strong equipment, and unlock then stack costly abilities like Extra Cast and MP Giftga.

More footage of smarter party members, this time with a full party in San Fransokyo!

With a good party setup (equipment + combat options + abilities), Donald, Goofy and others will dispatch the small fry more easily in late game. Feel free to focus on stronger targets they can't handle!

Another we worked on for a couple of years: making allies properly evade damage! Here, NPC (party member) Kairi can guard and counterattack.

Other allies may choose to run away from enemies, dodge-cancel their combos, etc. It's a no brainer, but many allies in KH3 didn't do this before.

One thing we've worked on for our KH3 mod: allowing NPC Sora (as in, Sora as a party member) to use Light Form!

If you play as Riku, Aqua, Kairi or Roxas with Sora in your party, he'll use this formchange to tackle enemies.

(Backstage, we're entirely rewriting his combat behaviour for this!)

A small teaser of what we've been working on for the 2.0 of our #gamemod: bringing new, useful abilities to party members—like Stopza for Mickey!

It's part of a larger chunk of work done to make all party members relevant and reliable in battle (with new skills, stats and behaviour in combat).

Continuing a bit with stat balancing for LvD 2.0, now with Sora's Keyblades! We'll be giving them new abilities, stats and descriptions.

We'll also move the OP abilities (like "Magic Roulette" and "Aeroza") up to higher Forge levels (LV7-LV9), with rare synthesis items needed to upgrade.

Also, Terra joins the party!

For the next update, we've developed him and added the list of party members in the game (without replacing anyone).

Aside from combos, he can summon meteors, cast Curaga, and use his Ultima Cannon shotlock from BBS.

Here is he in one of Olympus's battlegates:

One good example for today is Kairi!

In LvD 2.0, as a party member, she'll use Barrier to guard and counter-attack enemy damage, prioritising airborne foes, and using the same (expanded) moveset as when you directly play her.

Likewise, all party members will actively evade or dodge damage. (2/2)

The core of our "Light vs. Darkness" mod is a full rebalance of all of #KingdomHearts 3, including animations, stats, abilities, story rewards…

Part of it consists of making party members more useful and active in battle. In our mod, they have expanded abilities and new behaviours in combat. (1/2)
