    Let me tell your guys something, Sun Wu Kong, his so-called 72 kinds of transformation are described in Chinese. In the original novel, especially in Chinese, the 72 kinds of transformation do not mean that he can become 72 kinds of creatures or become Things, In fact, WuKong can transform into anything he wants, and Wu Kong has 72 skills, and transformation is just one of these 72 skills. Just want to let you all know. And Wu Kong, he is not just a monkey, he was not born naturally from monkey reproduction, he was conceived from a stone, and this stone is from another Chinese mythological character "Nu Wa". At that time, "Nu wa" used the sacred stone to mend the sky. In the end, one of the five-colored sacred stone was being left. For thousands of years, the five-colored sacred stone absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and gave birth to the Monkey King - 孙 悟空 Many people are confused when they see another Wu Kong. In Journey to the West, there are a total of four sacred monkeys. They are called the "Four Monkeys", and Wu Kong is one of them. In the novel story, there is a chapter called . The real Monkey King(Wu Kong) is being called "Lingming Stone Monkey". The other fake Monkey King is the "Six-eared Macaque". The abilities of the "Six-eared Macaque" are the same as those of Monkey King(Wu Kong). And he look the same as Monkey King(Wu Kong). And The "Six-eared macaque" robbed Tang Seng and took their luggage. Afterwards, Wu Kong fought a battle with the "Six-eared Macaque". Because of the same strength, it was impossible to tell the winner. So they went to the gods to identify who is the real Monkey King. But none of the gods can recognize who the real Monkey King is, because they have the same abilities and the same looks. In the end, Buddha Tathagata recognized the "six-eared macaque", covered it with a golden bowl, and was beaten to death by Monkey King with a stick. There has always been a lot of controversy in this place. Some people think that the Buddha who covered the golden bowl with the golden bowl was WuKong, not the "six-eared macaque", so the one who was killed may be WuKong. Why is there controversy? Because WuKong’s master is Taoism. The mission of protecting the monk Tang from going to the west to learn the scriptures was Buddhism. After WuKong learned the power of Taoism, he making havoc in heaven, and all the gods could not stop him. In the end, the Buddha trapped him with the "Five Elements Mountain" until Guanyin Bodhisattva gave him a mission to help Tang Seng go to the West to learn the sutras. But WuKong did not obey the discipline, so Guanyin Bodhisattva gave Tang Seng a golden hoop and let him wear it on WuKong's head. When WuKong did not obey the discipline, he would use the "Tighten the hoop spell". WuKong would have a splitting headache and be forced to obey discipline. But WuKong has always been rebellious. So many people think that the Buddha might take this opportunity to kill the real Monkey King(WuKong). Let the fake Monkey King "six-eared macaque" take over the position of Monkey King. Then explain their weapons. WuKong's weapon is called "如(Ru)意 (Yi)金(Jin)箍(Gu)棒(Bang)". The weapon of the "Six-eared Macaque" is called "随(Sui)心(Xin)铁(Tie)杆(Gan)兵(Bing)". Although the names of their weapons are different, the meanings they express are basically the same. All are "whatever you want." "如(Ru)意(Yi)" - "As I wish." "随(Sui)心(Xin)" - "Follow my heart." They are all sticks They can all be bigger and smaller. In theory, it can be infinitely large or infinitely small. WuKong usually Shrink his weapon to the size of an embroidery needle and put it in his ear. By the way, WuKong's weapon weight is 6750KG Then I have a very interesting thing to say. The huge wolf boss that you saw in the video was originally called "凌(Ling)虚(Xu)子(Zi)". In the game, he was renamed "灵(Ling)虚(Xu)子(Zi)". Maybe you have found out. Their pronunciation is the same, but the text is different. What's interesting is that "凌(Ling)虚(Xu)子(Zi)" is a friend of the black bear spirit in the original novel. Not long after the beginning of the whole story, "凌(Ling)虚(Xu)子(Zi)" went to see the birthday party of the black bear spirit. On the way to go, he accidentally bumped into Monkey King. At that moment, he was beaten to death by Monkey King with a stick. It was just one hit. To the head. Then he died. If you want to ask: Is it possible that we are playing the fake Monkey King in the game. Honesty I.. have no idea.. You know, this is a PER-ALPHA Game Build. And the content of the story they may adjust at any time. Some people in China were lucky to interview the development team before, why they chose to publish this video at this point in time? For the current development team, the shortage of personnel is currently a very serious problem. And the current atmosphere of China's domestic game industry is very different from that outside the sea. The development team believes that it is necessary for domestic industry developers to show what we are currently doing, hoping to change the status quo of the Chinese game industry, and to announce this video to tell everyone that we are indeed doing something different from before, and hope to be able to Get the trust and recognition of various talents in the Chinese game industry. When people find that the development team is indeed trying to make a breakthrough and have already made a certain breakthrough, everyone will contribute their abilities, technology, and experience to the development team, and even join them, To help them complete all actions that want to have a different view of Chinese games. I think this is great. If you want to know how long it will take for this game to be available, I personally have an interview with the content shown in the video and the development team. I think they still need at least 2~3 years to polish their products. Avoid disappointing players who are passionate about it. Conjecture in my head. When Monkey King and Tang Seng went to the West to learn the scriptures, they met the fake Monkey King. Then for some reason, the Buddha used the fake Monkey King to kill the real Monkey King. But the real Monkey King did not die, but was imprisoned or sealed somewhere. After thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, the true Monkey King broke the seal and escaped. He began his road of revenge. Why do I have this conjecture? Remember the beginning of the video, an old man telling 3 stories about Journey to the West? The first story he told: Sun Wukong protected Tang Seng and obtained the scriptures, and was later named the fighting god Buddha, and finally stayed in Lingshan. The second story he told: Monkey King was dead on the way to learn the sutras, and the one who became Buddha was not him at all. The third story he told: Monkey King is just a monkey written by a storyteller. At the end, he said that he will tell a story that no one has ever heard... What do you think the above means? I think that when he is narrating, the story of Journey to the West has already happened and is over. And he said that the narrative is what happened after Journey to the West. So, now you may be able to understand why I have this kind of conjecture. What we saw at the beginning of the video may be the real Monkey King. And his weapon was snatched by the fake Monkey King when he was framed. And the weapon he currently has may be the weapon of the fake Monkey King at the time. Because the fake Monkey King acquired the weapons of the real Monkey King, the fake Monkey King abandoned his own weapons. Or perhaps, the fake Monkey King at that time sealed the real Monkey King with his own weapons and with the help of the power of the Buddha. When the real Monkey King broke the seal, he turned the abandoned weapon that had sealed him for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years into his own weapon. Hope you enjoy it.

    to some who don't know, Sun WuKong is a character from a Chinese myth novel 400 years ago called Journey to the West. In the myth, some of his powers include riding clouds, transforming (72 forms), that magical staff he wields can lengthen and shorten, he also hides it in his ears when it's tiny. When he tears off strands of his hair, each strand can turn into a clone of himself. Oh, and let's not forget he can freeze people with words. that's all i remember for the moment. but he's pretty dope!! lots of animes are inspired by him and his story Journey to the West. Like Goku from Dragonball is pretty much WuKong (Goku is WuKong in Japanese), Naruto's shadow clones, the nine-tailed fox, Sandaime's transformation... are all inspired by WuKong.

    Chinese mythology is a very complex system. I can explain the basic concept of the chinese mythology. First the structure of chinese pantheon. Chinese traditional mythology is called Daoism. But after Buddhism come to China, it got absorbed by Chinese pantheon. The supreme god king governing heaven in daoism is jade emperor. But the one who created the universe was the ancient titan pangu. Pangu died from exhaustion soon after he creates the universe. The jade emperor and three pure one control most of the universe after him. They assigned king Yama to govern the underworld. Four great dragon kings to govern the sea. But they all pledge loyalty to jade emperor. Great goddess Nuwa creates humanity after the creation of the world. Buddha is technically the most powerful entity after the death of pangu. Because Buddhism believe he is one with universe. Therefore both Buddhism god and daoism god show respect to each other, and often work together. Second is the power structure of chinese mythology. The biggest difference between Chinese mythology and western mythology. Is the fact that in Chinese mythology, mortal can become god by practicing daoism or Buddhism. Which many western mythology can’t. This gives people more hope and give them reason to study daoism and Buddhism. However this freedom also give birth to demon(youkai). In chinese the concept of demon is not the same as west. Chinese demon were once mortal creatures who practiced daoism or Buddhism. They use the power in evil way and became corrupted. This goes for animal too. Both human and animals have possibilities of becoming demon. That’s why in journey of west there are tiger demon or fish demon. Due to the fact all youkai Practice daoism or Buddhism. In chinese mythology demon are considered very intelligent beings. Also most demon aim to become god, because in chinese mythology gods are the final stage of evolution. Now we can talk about monkey king wukong and journey of the west. Monkey king is the hero in chinese mythology. He’s just like Thor in Norse mythology or Hercules in Greek. Monkey king was loved by chinese people. But monkey king wasn’t a righteous figure when he first appeared. Monkey king was a stone monkey who came from the magical stone of goddess nuwa. He was a trickster and a morally neutral existence. He soon became the king of monkeys and learn daoism under a great daoist saint. During the process he learn immortality and become so powerful that almost no god can beat him. After he gain such strength, he went to the dragon king palace and acquired weapons and armor. Went to underworld and delete his name from book of death. He soon make alliance with demon kings in the mortal realm. Making him one of the greatest demon king in existence. When jade emperor discovered this, he give wukong a job in heaven. Which wukong gladly accept. But jade emperor still didn’t quite understand how strong wukong is. So he give him a position as stable boy for taming heavenly horses. Wukong feels extremely humiliated. So he quit the job and give him self the title of great sage equal to heaven in revenge. Heaven sees wukong’s refusal of the job as an insult. But after long discussion, they give wukong the title of great sage equal to heaven and invite him once more to live in heaven. As guardian of immortal peach garden. But monkey screw up his job again, because he end up eating all the peaches and even steal some pills of immortality. That finally angered the jade emperor. He dispatched the entire army of Heaven to arrest wukong. Monkey king was unrivaled in power even for gods. Only the great warrior god Erlang could fight him in equal strength. They eventually did capture the monkey through trap, but can’t find any way to kill him. Because he’s so bloody immortal, nothing can hurt him. He eventually break loss again and causing even greater havoc in heaven. Jade emperor finally calls the buddha himself to fix the problems. Buddha being the strongest beings in existence, easily subdue wukong, and trap him under a magical mountain. 500 years later Buddha send a chinese monk name Xiang Zang to retrieve the holy scripture from India. He choose wukong as one of monks body guards. Finally wukong was freed from the prison. But this time he humbly protect the monk in his journey to the west. During the process he starts to respect the monk. Also becoming a more humble and righteous person. He eventually was reworded by the Buddha and become a Buddha himself.

    Thank you so much for this reaction, MicDubTV. This trailer-gameplay looks amazing and beautiful! I'm in love with a Sun Wukong, is a wonderful character. I read "Journey To The West", is a epic story. (TAKE MY MONEY, Black Myth: Wukong!).
  • MicDubTV, this pre-alpha gameplay was made by 20 people from a production company called GAME SCIENCE, based in China. Whoever made the game needs more people to finish the game and they were unable to continue because of the pandemic.
