In the world of <em>KaraCreate<\/em>, an energy source called Elekiter is used to power steam engines. At some point it was discovered that if a machine (called Kikai) was powered by Elekiter that had been infused with a soul, the machine would come to life. Based on the results of that research, many Kikai were made to have souls. But before long, the Kikai went on a rampage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time, a researcher by the name of Hiraga Gennai invented a tool called the \u201cHun and Po driver,\u201d which causes Kikai to become attached to the registered user. As more Kikai were created and systems were put in place, Kikai permeated throughout society. The protagonist of the game is a young man that wishes to study abroad and sets off on a journey with his grandfather\u2019s Hun and Po driver in hand. Through the adventure, the story of the soul infused Karakura unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-600x422.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-380x267.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-696x489.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-597x420.jpg 597w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-001-100x70.jpg 100w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-600x422.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-380x267.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-696x489.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-597x420.jpg 597w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184328-002-100x70.jpg 100w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining different materials, the protagonist can craft Karakuri. For example, combining a fire element with a fish soul might craft something like a fire infused pufferfish. Depending on the combination of materials, it\u2019s possible to make all sorts of different Kikai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game also has Karakuri battles where you\u2019ll fight wild Karakuri, rivals, and suspicious organizations. During battles, it\u2019s important to be aware of what type of Karakuri you\u2019re using when selecting their skills. The game has an elemental system where if say a water infused fish Karakuri is attacked by a lightning attack, it will take 4x as much damage. The game will likely revolve around crafting and strengthening your Karakuri through battle so you can continue fighting even stronger Karakuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is being developed by Logari of LogariGames. Logari is an indie game developer in Japan that \u201clikes Unity and is making a variety of games.\u201d According to tweets from Logari, this game is also being made in Unity and development started in January of 2020. Since then, they\u2019ve been continuing development on the game while also working on other projects. Besides Twitter, Logari also posts updates on their progress to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logarigames.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LogariGames official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>KaraCreate<\/em> is currently in development and is planned to release on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1823430\/KaraCreate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>.
