This week, we added five new companions: Hairy Monkey, Good Monk, Evil Monk, Water Dragon, and Ice Dragon! These new companions representing different builds of the existing Heroes (Wukong, Holy Monk, and White Dragon), and each comes with a set of current or extended skills inherited from the Hero.
Note that the Hero can’t hire their shadows; for example, Holy Monk can’t hire Good Monk or Evil Monk, while Wukong can’t hire Hair Monkey.
These new companions unlocked various new team-building strategies - come try them out! Soon, you will also be able to construct the legendary team in the Journey to the West novel!

Dev Log #031: 2022-10-16
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!
Balance and Improve
Cast aside gives a curse card
Spirit Cleaver can correctly increase damage in multiple plays such as God of Victory
Goddess of Mercy in the omen fight will always stand at 2nd place. Add more description about the seal.
Added a convenient dialog for Peach Fairy upgrading cards at the start of combat
Absolute Evasion cannot be removed by Apparition
Improved Black Lance
Flipping and back-facing cards cannot be selected in the card reward menu, to avoid misclick
Random attack won't affect the Protected target
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug on consumable target picking when the consumable is targeting a single target except yourself
Fixed a potential endless Debuff reflecting when using Shackle of Suffering on the High Buddha
Fixed tooth for a tooth moves back to hand when healing
Corrected Lazy Bear's AI when it is awakened from sleep
Fixed the discharge button issue when Shapeshifting, Spirit Shifting, Spirit Pact is retained in hand
Fixed a potential draw cards conflict bug

Introduction to Chapter 4
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).

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.
