Calligraphic Design for Wukong Black Myth vol.4 - Golden Shell 黑神话悟空 书法字体设计 第四章 金钟罩特效

Recently the new demo of Wukong Black Myth was released. By using new UE5 the 3D effects and motions are highly impressive. Can't wait to see the final version.

The development of Wukong Black Myth catches the eyes globally. A a Chinese personally I think it's a great opportunity to introduce our art and culture to the world. Although the team is paying efforts on importing many cultural elements in, I found that ONE IMPORTANT THING is still MISSING, that is the Chinese calligraphic design.
Although the Chinese character may not be readable for many non-Chinese gamers, it's unique shape and inspirational visual expression should be shared to the world.

Perhaps it's still under development and too many things need to be dealed with at this stage. Like many successful Japanese games I hope the team can consider the calligraphic / font design more seriously. Instead of simply using stock fonts / templates, personally I highly suggest the team to think of the designs based on hand-drawing, because calligraphy 书法 is something like the core value of Asian aesthetics.

Here as a piece of fan art, I tried the effect design of protection skill in this game called Golden Shell. This is based on my hand-drawing of Chinese Calligraphy.

Hope it will inspire the team and lots of Wukong fans.
