"Journey to the West Mobile -Achieve nirvana and ascend" is the ascension expansion pack CG of the Chinese style turn-based game "Journey to the West Mobile". It uses beautiful audio-visual language to show the story of Xuantianji accepting the thunder tribulation, Ni Tianmo and Wu Zunshen working together to help successfully overcome the tribulation. The core content of the ascension system is revealed to players: experiencing the nine tribulations of thunder and lightning, and finally achieving nirvana and ascension.
This film not only shows the gameplay of Ascension, but more importantly, it shows a deeper worldview in the game through Nirvana Ascension. Xuantianji's ascension is closely related to the reincarnation of Wangchuan; the first alliance between Daozu Demon Lord in the face of the difficulty of ascension is also very important; the dialogue between the Awakened One and Ziyuan Jun also hints at reincarnation and ascension. It plays a very important role in further expanding the world view and shaping the characters at multiple levels.
Combining traditional Chinese mythological elements with the product's ascension expansion pack, it presents an audio-visual experience that is different from competing products in the market. The film shows the ritual sense of ascension through the story of Xuantianji facing the nine thunder tribulations, breaking out of reincarnation, and becoming the first ascendant of the five tribes in the Three Realms. At the same time, more importantly, it further demonstrates the broad world view behind the game.
Visually, we use the art style of stylization + realism + Chinese traditionational style, and comprehensively make rich material and modeling settings for the performance of various elements. Strive to show a unique art world of "Journey to the West Mobile" in the final film.
