So Xu's production is still coming along nicely at an even pace. We are looking to release an Alpha phase sometime next month with a bit of extensive icons, coding, and gameplay. Imma give you a run down of what I would like the Alpha to be.

First I want the player to see a cut scene which basically tells them of what's been going on in the world of Xu and etc. These cut scenes will most likely be drawn or iconned by me. Once filled in on the current situation, you will awaken in the first town which you were born (and everyone else.) Your town is under attack and you travel to the north ridge of the island to find an old man! He looks wounded and in need of help! You decide, since you're a nice person, to help him up the stairs to the sacred Dragon Temple.

Unfortunately for you there are evil demons attacking you on your way up the stairs and you have to utilize your normal punches and kicks to defeat them! (Basic tutorial on the status bars as well as punching, kicking, and combos.) Inside you discover the elder is a kung fu master and not wounded at all! There are multiple statues in the temple, each one depicting a martial arts style. Once you have seen the one you like the most, you touch the statue and fall into a dazed state where you temporarily obtain that martial arts style! When in this state the main antagonist (Xu...Ironically the name of his region and the name of the game...) attacks in the dragon temple. When you look around the elder has disappeared! You are left to battle Xu!

After defeating Xu (Which is the second portion of a tutorial...((Usage of Qi attacks or regular skills.))) The elder comes back and explains how you were able to preform such moves and defeat a Xu Phantom. Then the area is cured of the war like state it was in. After this you awaken in a field where you question the experience to be real or not. There are some animals in this area in which you can attack, but there are also players in which you can fight. Although you have lost your martial arts skills, you can still use the street fighting like techniques you have already known such as Punching and Kicking.

After getting to level 5 you can search around the island for quests. One particular quest giver is abnormal as he is a kung fu master! All the statues in the dragon temple he has learned and if helped he will be willing to teach! When you touched the statue in the dragon temple you decided your style of fighting. Don't fear there is a way to change this if you find you don't prefer the style. But once you have completed that strange master's quest he will teach you the basics of your fighting style. Each style will be handled as a passive. When this passive is on your normal punches and kicks will turn into punches and kicks from that style. (This will be a graphic perspective.) As well as the different styles looking different, each will playing into your strengths. While some may focus on strong as hell fists that break bones but can't defend others may focus on an iron body to defend with.

That's all I'm going to spill about the game :] become a fan of the game, watch it, favorite, become a fan of my blog so it can be easier for you to follow the game. Duces.
