大江湖之苍龙与白鸟 News

Dear players, we apologize for the delay in our original plan to start testing and release in Q2. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
Based on our current progress, we expect to begin testing in August. After testing, there will be a brief adjustment period before the official version is released. Thank you for your patience!

[h2]Reasons for the Delay:[/h2]
The original EA script was intended to be 200,000 Chinese characters, with the Central Plains chapter estimated at 250,000 Chinese characters. However, the final script for the Central Plains chapter expanded to 400,000 Chinese characters, pushing the total storyline script beyond 600,000 Chinese characters (excluding skills, equipment, anecdotes, and character info). In addition to the three main storylines, various character arcs will also unfold within the Central Plains chapter. Player choices will not only influence different endings but also have the potential to reshape history. The intricate branching paths necessitate extensive debugging and dialogue refinement, contributing to the delays.

[h2]Preview of New Content for the Official Release:[/h2]



Recommendations for the Central Plains Chapter:
1. There are 10 main storylines available, including Ragged Ranger, Feather Robe, Wulu Palace, Shaolin, Mount Heng, Prodigy of the East, Wide of the West, and Recluse of the North.

2. Each of these storylines contains hidden branches, leading to a total of 17 different endings.

3. Players can unlock the final fate of teammates in each storyline. In the Ragged Ranger storyline, players have the chance to unlock endings for all martial characters apart from the main ones. The endings for the same character vary depending on the storyline chosen.

4. Some storylines feature romantic confession plots❤, and the characters available for confession may differ slightly based on the protagonist's gender. However, for certain unconventional martial artists, gender norms may not be so rigid...

5. In one storyline, players will change the course of real history.

6. In another storyline, players can mediate between sects & forces, prevent the collapse of the dynasty, and trigger a perfect ending. A prophet at a certain ferry crossing will provide hints for the perfect storyline.

7. The scope of each storyline varies. It is recommended to start with the Feather Robe > Wulu Palace > Ragged Ranger (without joining any sect) for the first playthrough, and then explore other storylines after becoming familiar with the background.

Preview of New Teammates in the Central Plains Chapter:
In addition to the teammates from the EA version, the Central Plains chapter introduces new martial world characters:
1. Chen Sengzhi and Chen Nanxu, descendants of a noble family devastated by tragedy, searching for their lost relatives.

2. Huoshaoyun of the desert, a bandit of mixed Uyghur and Han heritage.

Huoshaoyun of the desert found in the Gaochang Market, harbors a deep hatred for all martial artists from the Central Plains.

3. Utu Kunmi, the owner of the Kunmi King’s Tomb.

Within the mysterious Kunmi King’s Tomb in the Western Regions, a blood pool formed from the blood of countless souls lies hidden...

4. The passionate youth at the Lankao Ferry: Tan Fu.

5. Even the Four Talents of Jiangnan will have their moment to shine.

Every character will have a complete life story. The Four Talents of Jiangnan will continue their tales in the martial world.

6. In addition to new teammates, more followers will be available for you to recruit.

All of the above characters have the opportunity to join your team or become followers.



Separated Aspects
In the Central Plains chapter, you will reunite with an old friend along with the Ragged Brother. The old friend mentioned that you and Wanyan Yong were Separated Aspects who would never see each other again. Now, at this crossroads, your paths may lead to an uncertain future.

*Separated Aspects: "the incompatibility of Shen and Shang stars." This phrase originates from ancient Chinese astronomy and literature, specifically referring to the stars Shen (Orion) and Shang (Antares). These stars are noted for their astronomical opposition: when one rises, the other sets, symbolizing separation and discord.

Hooray! We can't wait to celebrate the 2024 Chinese New Year already!
This time we bring you the freshest wallpapers of characters, scenes and the world map from the World of Kungfu, and hope you'll like it just as we do ;)


They lead you into the swirl of the Kungfu World. Which plot impress you the most?


The Four Greatest Heros. Do you remember their titles?


The sword masters in black and in white await you in the Northern Desert.


The map of the World of Kungfu. We've put some hints of mysterious spots in it.



Finally, we wish you a lucky year ahead!

In the past few months, we've been reviewing plots, adjusting numerical values, and working on other miscellaneous tasks... And here are all the recent updates we can't wait to show you guys. Come take a look at what new content has been added to The World of Kungfu!



1. In the official release, the max level will be raised to Lv.100 from Lv.20 in the EA. Simultaneously, character attributes such as STR, AGI, and STA will also increase from a maximum of 25 to 30.
*P.S. The random addition of attributes will perhaps be removed from the final release, as we noticed that it confused players.
2. It might worry some of you that this leap of level caps will cause a waste of attribute points. However, it's hard to max out on every attribute in the first playthrough, since higher attributes still require more attribute points. Players can still enjoy careful planning when allocating the points ;)
*P.S. Teammates with low levels but high talents are highly recommended for enhancement.



1. The controller support is now under development. In the future, The World of Kungfu will support PS, Xbox, and other controllers to the best of our abilities.
2. All the UI in the following screenshots are controller-supported.



1. In the character creation menu, players can customize their faces, costumes, and accessories of their portrait and sprite.
*P.S. We're still working on the portraits available for players. (On the pic it's Wu Yansi, a nobody eunuch who got lucky to be chosen as the "poster boy" here... Well, fortune favors the prepared.)
2. Unlock hidden costumes and accessories with multiple playthroughs.
3. Here's a piece of the custom sprite feature. Note that this feature has a long way to go...



4. Also, you must have noticed that we added color sliders for customization enthusiasts!





In addition to the previous roll design, we added a new design. Players can choose whichever design they favor more.
Mode I: the original design with a new lock feature, which allows players to pin down stats and traits randomly generated.
*First-time players will have 1 lock, and as they finish each playthrough, they will get an additional lock.



Mode II: the allocating design allows players to allocate the points to talent stats (e.g., STR, AGI) as they want. Basic stats (e.g., HP, MP) and talent skills (e.g., Sword, Wine Art) are fixed.
Also, players can select the traits from the nine-grid (which will be further introduced down below).
*Players gain 1 stat point from each completion of playthroughs.





1. Players will be able to collect Kungfu, Equipment, and Teammates.
The Kungfu collection is categorized into Sword, Saber, etc. so that first-time players can quickly get an overview of the Kungfu classes. In addition, players may learn how to unlock Kungfu from NPCs.



We encourage every player to complete the full equipment collection (as it's not that hard!).



Players will meet different teammates as they go with different routes. Complete the collection with multiple playthroughs, or...turn a master traitor that adeptly navigates between sects within one playthrough. Still, it's not an answer to achieve a full collection, as you won't be able to unlock all the teammates with the traitor route.





1. In the official release, players can collect mythical Jianghu sets. Put on three pieces of a set to activate the set buff.



2. Some set buffs are just perfect matches for certain low-level Kungfu, transforming them into top-level Kungfu that can even rival Divine Kungfu.
3. Many pieces of equipment that players may have collected in places such as Jiangnan and Xiaoxiang areas when playing the early access version are probably from a myth set. Don't overlook the least shiny equipment.



1. Previously, we've unveiled the feature of capturing NPC as your teammates. Captured teammates can be selected as companions.
*Open the selection menu, and select companions from the list:



2. After you join a sect, Jianghu teammates will leave your team, but companions follow you...forever.
3. NPC Capture 101:
a) Use Jianghu Favor Orders rewarded from special city bounties to capture (or persuade, if you prefer) human NPCs. But governments rarely issue Favor Orders.
b) Use rare items collected from certain cities to capture animal NPCs.
c) Several special traits including "Born to Lead" and "King of Beasts" allow players to persuade enemy NPCs during battles with probabilities. If successful, NPCs will be captured after battles.

*Added a feature that allows players to check out NPC's stats during battles, e.g. STR, AGI, and STA. We're considering expanding the range of information available here. Some NPCs have randomly generated stat, so make it a habit of checking NPCs out to never miss out on a "Shiny Hoothoot".





We received some feedback on the unclear labels shown in the backpack menu, so we've re-designed the labels, added a feature of showing the item's name by long-pressing it, and developed further the filters.
If you have any suggestions for a better backpack, please feel free to share them with us!
*Find stuff easier:



*Long-press to show the item's name:



*Better filter features, also available for equipment and Kungfu:





1. Traits like Taihu Hero, Qingcheng Hero, and Southern Hero will become titles. Each character can only have one title, but the stats buffs of titles are increased greatly.
2. Added a nine-grid for traits:
a) Traits are classified into type I, II, III...to IX, plus type null;
b) Traits can only go into their designated slot;
c) But type null can fit in any slot;
d) Traits that relate to the body (e.g., "virgin" or ones that associate with disabilities) are not removable or replaceable once selected when creating the character. But the stats buffs are increased greatly, and certain Kungfu may benefit from traits of this kind. So think twice (or more times) before deciding your mind.
e) Chances to acquire different types of traits from cultivating corresponding star-levels of Kungfu. Also, players can learn rare traits from fulfilling some NPC's requests.
3. Traits learned progressively from cultivating a certain school of Kungfu may trigger chain buffs. As shown below, the traits of types 2, 5, and 8 (highlighted with bright yellow) trigger a Taoist chain effect:





1. In the official release, players can go to the Blind Blacksmith, an NPC in the mythical Xiaoxiang Areas, to unlock the equipment enhancement feature.



2. Different ores offer different attributes for equipment:
a) Ores can only enhance existing attributes if the equipment already has four modifiers;
b) If not, ores can add a new modifier to the equipment.
3. Added the character stat "forge":
a) The max level of equipment enhancement depends on this stat; caps at +10;
b) Different traits, equipment and forging places may combine to different enhance outcomes.
4. High forging stats won't lead to excessive equipment stats, and ores are generally not rare. This feature aims for players to have fun experimenting with combinations of ores and equipment.
5. Enhancing some equipment to +10 may result in "Descent of Artifact" (shown at the top of the screen when it happens, as presented in the screenshot below). There are already many artifacts in EA.



6. After the equipment reaches +10, the modifiers can be refined:
a) Players can replace all added modifiers;
b) Special modifiers for the fifth slot offer skill stats such as increasing the chance of successful poisoning;
c) Refining equipment costs Meteorite Fragments, which are very rare. Players can only find several of them in the whole world of Kungfu, so remember to keep a sharp mind when using them.
7. Players can reset enhanced equipment at the Blind Blacksmith's place.
8. Ores can be spotted from the world map, caves and mazes:



a) Ores can be specific to areas. Find the ores you need in their born places. Ores will automatically reappear in caves and mazes after a certain period.
b) Use a shovel to mine, and players may also find mysterious pots when mining ores. Take them to pawn shops in cities for appraisal:



*Some pots are authentic antiques, while others are as fresh as last week's pottery. Pots can be sold, so players can earn travel expenses through mining in the beginning. Players may also find rare treasures and scriptures when mining. Some scriptures are even critical for learning 8-star or 9-star Kungfu.



1. In the official release, we've added a stat "Kungfu". This stat increases with each level-up of Kungfu. The higher the stat, the more likely the Kungfu you invented is of higher damage or star-level.
2. Players will unlock two features, Kungfu Invention and Kungfu Breakthrough, after defeating the enemies in Central Plains again.
a) Kungfu Invention. Unlock the options in the nine-grids and invent your own Kungfu. First, choose a class and a pattern to set a foundation for your Kungfu:



You can also choose a visual effect that suits your Kungfu the most:



Also, the character's trait nine-grid provides buffs to your invention:
- Type II and IV traits relate to the shoulder, increasing base damage, damage increases per level, and NP cost, etc.
- Type VI and VIII relate to the legs, increasing the chance to stun enemies, or increasing damage based on the character's Qing Kung level (a Kungfu with high agility), etc.
- Type I, III, VII and IX offer attributes per level, and provide special effects such as damage range +1.
- Type V sits in the center of the grid, deciding the school, such as Taoist or Buddhist, level and star-level.
2) Kungfu Breakthrough. Successful breakthrough increases the damage, level and star-level.
For example, Extant Dragon Palms is only an 8-level Kungfu for missing three moves. If players can recover the three moves from breakthrough, the star-level should be increased without a doubt.
Kungfu with higher potential is more suitable for breakthroughs.
First, choose the Kungfu you want to breakthrough:



Next, choose four traits. Please note that the four traits chosen for the breakthrough will be removed:



Descent of Divine Kungfu



Divine Kungfu refers to 10-level Kungfu. Kungfu can become Divine Kungfu with breakthroughs, and will thus be marked as divine:





We've also made various attempts to create distinctive characters. Here are some drafts.



New Jianghu stories and characters are coming up in the official release.
We also met challenges in designing certain characters, as we wanted them to be iconic and fit their stories perfectly.



Well, we know that you're eager for the portrait of Nightfox Ye, but we decided to do this later, as we hope to give our all in designing her when the time comes!
The design process has had its ups and downs, yet it's all worth it. In the end, we aim for the best effects of illustrations and narratives for all the players to immerse themselves in the complex relations, love and hatred between the Jianghu characters.
Even though it has taken a considerable amount of time, we hope to provide everyone with an immersive and rich experience in the vast world of Kungfu!

And finally, if you're interested... The background image in the Kungfu Invention menu takes its inspiration from the Suzhou astronomical chart, engraved on stone between 1078 to 1085 (during the Northern Song Dynasty). It is said that the chart was drawn by Huang Shang, a renowned literary figure and poet during the Northern Song Dynasty, also known as Mian Zhong (his zi, "字"), Yan Shan and Zi Xuan Weng (his hao, "号").

This is still subject to verification, and you can do some research if you're interested.

Also, we attach a wallpaper featuring Grandmaster Freewings of Kongtong Clan.



The illustration draws inspiration from a classic film character. Can you recognize who it is?

Finally, wishing all of you a year brimming with prosperity, good health, and genuine joy.
We will see you in 2024!
