Eastern Exorcist Major Update! Full version now playable!
Thank you all for the wait! Eastern Exorcist has now been updated to the full version.
As the first game of Wildfire Studio, Eastern Exorcist has been produced and polished for almost 4 years. Thanks to our players who have supported us along the way, who gave us a lot of valuable suggestions during the early access version of the game, so that we can take the game further.
The development process is difficult. Fortunately, many players support us, which makes us feel a little light in the middle of the night. We have limited abilities, but we want to do our best to finish the game Eastern Exorcist and do it well.
Of course, everyone in the team will not relax in the future and will continue to understand everyone's opinions and insist on polishing the game.
Thank you for staying with us! And enjoy the game!
* Turkish localization will be added very soon
* Part of the English localization is still under polishing, thank you for understanding
【斩妖秘籍】“斩” 的修行（新手斩妖人必看）
临近完整版上线，看到有好多初入江湖的斩妖人加入了我们，真的很开心~ 也看到了不少玩家反映游戏的体力不够，所以我们决定在十大心法第一期重点来讲讲“斩”~
“斩”是角色操作进阶的核心，也是贯穿始终对耐力控制起到良性作用的招式。特点简而言之——高伤害，高连携，无耐力消耗！
下面两张动图，请各位斩妖人观察怪物的血条以及角色的体力条：
普攻4连击
普攻3连击+斩
各位斩妖人应该可以看出：
1.“斩”攻击威力强大，比较普通攻击具备更高的输出伤害。
2. “斩”不会消耗耐力，而且在“斩”释放的过程中，耐力条便会开始恢复。
在讨伐恶妖的死战中，仅一息之差便可能殒命当场。想要保持耐力源源不断，熟练且合理的打出“斩”非常的必要。
l 斩的释放方式。
在基础攻击的第三招间隙，闪避反击，蓄力重击，破，跳劈，下劈攻击后，都会出现一个聚气特效的提示，在这个时间点，迅速按下攻击，就能触发“斩”攻击。
普攻+斩
蓄力+斩
闪避反击+斩
弹返+斩
跳劈+斩
下劈+斩
普攻、蓄力重击、跳劈、下劈攻击皆会消耗耐力对敌人造成伤害，紧接着释放“斩”会有效回复耐力，并形成连续技对敌人造成大量的伤害。
完美闪避反击，破招反击（这两个招式完美释放了会出“闪”和“破”字）则不会消耗耐力，并对敌人造成较高的伤害。之后紧接着释放“斩”可以对敌人造成持续的更强的伤害。
综上所述，“斩”可以作为所有招式的终结技，也是回复耐力的最佳选择，更是斩妖人们的克敌利器。各位斩妖人快快一起把“斩”操练起来吧~！
最后提一句，在我们暂停界面的“教学”里可以看到各种操作的教学哦~

【Eastern Exorcist · Devlog】 Game Art
As the official launch date is approaching, we would love to share more about the game's development process with you, so that we could review the journey we've traveled this year, together with our old friends who have been following us, and at the same time introducing the world of 'Eastern Exorcist' to our new players!
Today's development story is told by the art team behind the game.
The art of Eastern Exorcist has always been one of the highlights of the game. which makes our art teammates breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, at the beginning of the development, we weren't sure which style to go with; cartoon or realistic, American manga or Japanese manga. Everything feels 'good', but at the same time, everything is not 'good' enough.
So we went through researches on many indie game titles, and we really feel the importance of a game's art style. It must be unique, and in line with the game's own worldview and background,
At the end, we decided to try out something with Chinese watercolor painting.(ง •_•)ง
In the initial stage, we think of the full picture of all the art performances with the expression of Chinese painting, here comes the birth of our first ever picture.
The traditional Chinese painting could really show the mountains and clouds, in a moody way by using haloing. We decided to use ink haloing to make a distant scene, so that the picture becomes stronger in space and also provides a special mood.
The flowers, birds, insects, fish and plants are particularly depicted in Chinese painting. For the flowers and plants in the focal layer, we refer to the common shapes in Chinese painting, fully hand-painted, hoping to ensure that the shapes have enough flavor of Chinese painting, while striving to make the sense of volume stronger and also strengthen the richness of colors.
We hope to make the whole picture through this method, showcasing both the traditional painting feel and modern painting's realistic look, with the general direction, we began the second concept design:
After the concept of the map came out, the team agreed that the effect is 'not bad', so we began to do a few other levels following this style.
Then, we referred to some of the popular artists for Chinese painting, especially for painting plants, to finely draw out the plantation inside the scene.
Finally, all materials will be imported into the 3D scene in accordance with the distance of the view, devided into far, medium, and near.
Our vision is to use the traditional hand-painted Chinese ink painting style together with a more modern technique, in combination to create a variety of different scenery and immersion in the world of Eastern Exorcist, while enjoying the game itself, players could also experience the unique charm of the Oriental ink.
Finally, here is the producer's small stone statue! We can't wait to see you in our game on the 8th July!
【Eastern Exorcist · Devlog】 Half-Fox female character - Xiahou Xue
How do you like our new trailer? Excited to introduce our new playable character, Xiahou Xue, who is a Half-Fox female character, with a whole new story and new skills!
This character will be unlocked together with the game's 1.0 version, (on July 8)
Living in Mingzhou City, a girl of half-demon descent, in order to save her loved ones, she did not hesitate to commit dangers and fight against powerful enemies with her own strength and embarked on an adventure.....
At the initial stage of the project, in order to enrich the experience and different tastes of the players. We have determined the plan for the male and female double protagonists, unfortunately, there was a delay in development, our EA version only discloses the content of the male protagonist.
But actually, the male and female double protagonists would make up to be the full version of the game. (ง •_•)ง。
In-game character development has always been a core focus within our team. We very much hope that through the accumulation of experience and continuous attempts to complete the shaping of each role, we will present to everyone the oriental magical world we want to show. I also sincerely hope that everyone can enjoy the story of the Eastern Exocist series.
【some character sketches】
【Xiahou Xue movement designs, she use to have red hair in the early versions 】
When constructing the stories of the two characters, we hope to take our players to try out two different experiences. The half-demon heroine would be more lively and young (in age), Compared with the much heavier story of the male character, we hope that the heroine can bring you a playful and more relaxed plot and experience.
Additionally, the female protagonist's operating game feel is slightly different from that of the male protagonist.
The use of heavy weapons will slightly slow down the output, but there will be enhancements in the air and attack power. It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In terms of skills, the heroine will have a set of her own brand-new skills, but there will also be similar skills as our male character, we will also introduce to you later.
Finally, we look forward to seeing everyone try out our new half-demon girl-Xiahou Xue! See you soon!
