Set in the White Snake Dynasty, “an empire ruled with absolute power by Emperor White Dragon in medieval Chinese era.” Due to the vast territory of the White Snake Dynasty, local defense force emerged in areas where the army is absent and later became the origin of thousands of martial art school. Wuxia, lone or organized group, are knights who protect the people with martial arts. The peaceful life of the people of White Snake is at stake rise of Northern Empire.

Knight<>Evil choice and consequence

Medallion of Fate

As the story proceed the main character will acquire a key item "Medallion of Fate". The medallion transmits vision into your mind 1 day prior of a person's end. Player will face interesting moral decision to alter fate or accept destiny.
I found it interesting to develop companion characters and questline's decision regards to fate, according to their characteristic.

Talent and Attribute

Character increase power by studying Martial Art secret and unblocking acupoint to release inner strength. In theory unblocking an acupoint allows the Chi(energy) to flow inside your body thus increase your power.

I added different colors of line to represent Wuxing(Five circle of element) and provide extra bonus if complete the set of acupoint.

Classic Acupoint reference "Yijin Jing"

Level

Props I created to reproduce the feel of ancient Chinese noodle stall. The map contains a relay station to provide food, shelter and supply to passengers. The road on left and right connect to forest and open road to main city.
