Journey to the West News

This week, we continue working on developing game content, including new character cards, and effects, extending the MOD’s capability to profoundly modify the game, and wrapping up chapter4’s dialog translation work

• We finished creating all the cards and effects of Swine King. Later, we will focus on developing the corresponding music and animations
  
• Swine King main builds: Shape Shifting, Eat, Commandment, High Max HP, Bleeding
  
• We refactor most of the implementation of cards, consumables, and relics which gives the MOD’s creators the freedom to deeply modify the game’s content and logic
  
• We work on the English translation of chapter 4 dialogs. Currently, 1/3 of the work has been done
  

Next week, we plan to introduce new companions, please look forward to it!

There are 3 challenging storylines in Chapter 4, each comes after different chapter 3 bosses. There are different plots and prerequisites to enter the final chapters for each hero, and each hero has a couple of different ends (currently we have 37 different ends).

Heaven is the final chapter that you can enter after defeating Divine of Justice at the end of Chapter 3. You will face the four generals guarding the Gate of Heaven in elite combat, and later face The Jade Emperor and his powerful team in the final combat. Based on your encounter before, you might be able to collaborate with both the Divine of Justice and the Fallen Monkey General to take revenge and destroy Heaven!


Soul Mountains is the final chapter that you can enter after defeating the Fallen Phoenix at the end of Chapter 3. Based on your encounters and choices before, you will be able to collaborate with Golden Eyebrows and Fallen Phoenix, encounter the Goddess of Cruelty (Goddess of Mercy’s sister) in elite combat, confront the High Buddha, defeat the ultimate evil, and choose the true love for Holy Monk!



The Plane of Eternity is the final chapter that you can enter after defeating the Hell Emperor at the end of Chapter 3. The Plane of Eternity is the home and prison of Omen - the immortal being formed by sins, pain, and hatred. The seal of five elements was broken and the Omen was partially released and started its bad influence on the world, creating war, chaos, and killings. You will help the Goddess of Mercy to rebuild the Five Elements Seal to seal the Omen, face your own desires and sins, and make the right decisions.

• Neutral: not Good nor Evil

[h3]How to earn Good Points? [/h3]
