Little WIP of game design for my graduation project. I wasn't sure, but it turns out I can show a little...
So I'm working on the concept and animated intro of a mobile game based on "Journey to the West" by Wu Cheng. There's still a lot of work ahead of me, but I'm optimistic because I'm doing something I really enjoy!
Would you be interested in seeing more concepts and animated pieces?

Wu Kong is not just jealous; he's the complete concept of clinginess and possessiveness. 
He's a monkey; for a monkey, the concept of monogamy is just off, as strange is the concept that you could just give him. Noiw, if you end up in his clutches before the havoc in heaven, he can be quite tough to hang around.
If he had given the order to all his children that you're his guest and no one has to treat you bad, they of course gonna follow their king order, as they should after all, and they'll gonna act as they allways do with you. Playing in the fields, catching bugs, collecting fruits, enjoying nature—that's the great life on Flower Fruit Mountain; you can just live and don't care about anything! 
But if you ever mention the concept of monogamy to Wu Kong, something will start to move in his head.
He doesn't have to share? Not only that, if you're not into poligamy at all, that means that it doesn't matter if he has or does not have to; you simply won't go after another partner! Of course, he can always have you sitting on his lap, telling him stories of your world, while he just enjoys braiding your hair and scratching your scalp.
Now, there's the small issue of the possibility of someone else wanting you...
Nothing like a good old gruesome kill cannot be fixed.

Welcome to The Journey to the West (西游记) Daily!
You are about to beging a reading journey to get the hidden Buddhist texts accompanied by the monk Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie and Bai Long Ma.
To beging this journey you must subscribe to the newsletter, which you will find at https://journeytothewestdaily.substack.com/. You wil receive your first email this week, welcoming you and sharing information about what's to come and what I will include in the emails.
However, beforehand I want to tell you already that you won't receive a daily email, despite the name of the newsletter. The chapters are dense and full of references to folklore or religion references that you might be unfamiliar with, so you will receive an email every 2 or 3 days maximum.
If this is the first time that you hear about this newsletter and you don't know what Journey to the West is...
The classical Chinese novel Journey to the West is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the "Western Regions" (Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sūtras (sacred texts) and returned after many trials and much suffering. Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk, whose name in the novel is Tang Sanzang, and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as the monk's steed, a white horse. The group of pilgrims journey towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation.
The novel is perfect for the epistolary format, since it's is divided in different and disconnected adventures, so you don't have to always remember what happened in the previous chapter to read the next!
We'll be reading Anthony C. Yu's translation since it is the first unabridged version that we have available in English. It is about 100 chapters long.
As I said, you will receive a first email as soon as you subscribe and an introductory email in a few days. Please, share this post so more people can read along. Use the hashtag #jttwdaily if you want to comment your impressions. I'll share the most important dates soon.
May the Buddha help you in your endeavours.

Battle on Mount Huaguo!
After Wukong stole the wine and peaches and returned to earth, his monkeys declared him the great sage equal to heaven! Once Nezha lost to him, the celestials called up Erlang to help deal with him!

No Such Thing as Heaven
In which, maybe in the grand scheme of things, heaven was too good to be true.

monkey love language
i absolutely adore just how aggressively physical monkeys can be with affection. they just fully press their heads into each other, lots of tugging and pulling, almost throwing themselves at each other when they want attention. i bet it takes Wukong some adjustment so he doesn't use his full force when he gets grabbed by the need to just squeeze someone lmao, but just as much as the others need time to get used to a monkey perched on them every now and then. plus grooming is often a bargaining chip and a way to build relationships and a show of affection and trust. so, a bit of monkey love for each of the group! :D
aaaand Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing face reveal!! working on a fullbody lineup to show off their heights as well, so consider this a teaser ;3
Bajie is half wild boar, half babirusa. I love the four-tusk situation babirusa have going on, but his bristled mane is too iconic to handwave away. plus, pigs that go feral grow tusks and thicker fur, so i wanted to capture some of that with the half-and-half design.
as for Wujing, he's a complicated one to explain, but for his face i really wanted his beard to stand out as well as the six skulls necklace. i'm going for a "intermittent waters" concept with him, since he's originally connected to a desert before being made into a river demon, so i'm drawing on mudskippers for his ear fins and face spots.
