Shadow Fist Kung Fu

Posted on

It's been a while! We've been working on a lot of stuff under the hood and working on some exciting new features. Sadly not everything is finished yet, so we hope this update is good enough to tide you over.

  • Changed Calibration code - Old way: the game would measure the player's arm length to calculate shadow strike distance and enemy positioning. New way: the game measures the distance between the player's body and the target.
    • The problem we realized with the old way, is that everyone has different comfort zones in regards to fighting. You may have really long arms but prefer to get up close and personal, or maybe you have short arms and prefer to keep that at reach. So now, we let you strike the target, and show the distance enemies will stand.

  • Startup Calibration Scene - On game load, you're instantly taking to a calibration zone before you're allowed to even go to the basement menu. It's super simple so as to be as quick as a load time as we could make it.
    • We plan to add a 'quick start' option that skips the basement entirely so you can go straight from calibration to game play.
  • New enemy models! We've been working...and reworking.... and reworking.. the models to create distinctive, yet stylized enemies for you to punch. It's a fine balance between looks and optimization but we think we've managed to achieve that with this first enemy. The Punk!
  • Oculus native support! Technically this isn't new, but we found a few areas where it would mistakenly load SteamVR instead.
  • Under the hood optimizations: we've studied areas of the game that would tank the frame rate and managed to increase frame rates by 15%!
    • Cool notes for Nerds (like us!)
      • Realtime Dynamic hit recoil system is toggled on/off based on distance from player. Every now and then, there's a tiny frame drop when you shadow step to an enemy and it turns the system on for the first time. We have a few leads on how to fix this and speed up the entire system in general. The system is what makes the punches feel like real punches as it simulates the impact on a humanoid body. Unfortunately, it's responsible for 90% of the lag spikes.
      • Changed Lighting system from 100% baked lighting to a combination of baked and probed light. (The sheer amount of props and clutter in the level was taking up so much space on the light maps, it was having to use multiple maps which increased the Draw Calls per frame. Which is bad.)
      • Changed scoring, body disposal, timer, and shadowstrike to an Event driven system. Before this, we were using coroutines and updates to handle these things. Which is a normal way of handling this since they are all time driven! But in spots where the framerate would tank, we would run into weird, non deterministic behavior. The most noticeable was the level timer. Sometimes it would pause, then rapidly skip numbers, or never restart. We mess with the TimeScale a lot, combined with occasional lag spikes time dependent co-routines would start to fail out or improperly fire.

Plot[edit]

The story begins with a voiceover saying when the snake style of kung fu was at its peak a vicious fighter by the name of Hsia Sa was one of the greatest exponents of the style. The snake style can be a vicious style and Hsia Sa was a vicious fighter and had an ambition to dominate the fighting world and had killed many experts until one day he challenged a monkey style expert called Koo Ting-sang and they held a contest. As Hsia Sa is walking through a jungle he sees Koo Ting-sang appear from nowhere and jump tree from tree until he lands on the ground and demands why Hsia Sa has challenged him saying he wants to kill him. Hsia Sa says he is right and today he will die. Koo Ting-sang shocked by Hsia Sa words says he is conceited about his style and also remarks that while Hsia Sa snake style is great his monkey style can kill snakes and engages him in a lengthy fight and defeats and badly injures Hsia Sa. Although he could easily kill him Koo Ting-sang spares Hsia Sa life and Hsia Sa remarks that if Koo Ting-sang doesn’t kill him now he will regret it however Koo Ting-sang laughs of his threat saying if he can beat him once he can do it again and Hsia Sa staggers away.

The story then revolves around Lung, a poor, young fishmonger who aspires to learn kung-fu. After a late delivery of fish to the local, wealthy Yan family he is subjected to a savage and humiliating assault by two of Yan's sons. Although Lung's interest in kung-fu was limited to spying on a local school, this incident forces him to approach Teacher Ho, the Drunken-style kung-fu expert who runs the school. In spite of his plea for a place at the school Ho is adamant that the school is full. In order to get rid of Lung, the teacher tricks him into getting drunk resulting in Lung passing out. Lung awakes to find himself in the country-side faced with the presence of a deadly cobra. Enter Koo Ting-sang, a Monkey-form kung-fu expert, who saves Lung from the life-threatening predicament.

Lung returns to Ho and manages to talk his way into getting a place at the school, but only as a 'cleaner-up.' One day, Teacher Ho catches his students ganging up on Lung and, impressed by Lung's courage, gives him a place as a student. Lung pays a visit to Koo Ting-sang with a gift in acknowledgment of Koo's earlier favour; in turn Koo offers Lung tuition in Monkey-style, however upon learning that his would-be teacher is in fact a real monkey, Lung declines the offer. Instead, Lung shows off his newly acquired Drunken-style skill to Koo Ting-sang by taking revenge on the Yan brothers who have conveniently arrived to take control of Koo's land. A result of this revenge is for the Yan family to complain to Teacher Ho directly. Whilst Ho doesn't appreciate the attention brought about by his student's actions, he is less pleased about the Yan family's arrogant manner and a brawl ensues resulting in the Yan family returning home, beaten and humiliated. Whilst licking their wounds, the father is informed by an aide that two Snake-style experts happen to be passing through the area and so he summons them to assassinate Teacher Ho.

Lung arrives at the school to find Ho being attacked by the Snake-stylists, Hsia Sa and his partner. Despite helping his teacher the assassins defeat them both and kill Teacher Ho. Barely conscious, Lung staggers to Koo Ting-sang to describe what happened. Koo Ting-sang realises that he fought and defeated one of the Snake-style experts in the opening sequence to the movie and that they could be after him as revenge. Indeed, this turns out to be true and Koo Ting-sang, who could handle one 'snake,' is defeated by the combined power of two.

Lung, determined to avenge the death of Ho and Koo, constructs a training ground to develop his technique further. The viewer is taken through a prolonged scene involving Lung balancing upon pots and the use of an elaborate rotating wooden dummy, as well as a pivotal scene of Koo's master, a monkey, killing a snake. This sight gives Lung the idea of mixing some Monkey-style with his Drunken technique.

The final fight between Lung and the two Snake-style experts takes place on an open, grassy terrain. Lung symbolically bites the hand of his opponent, mimicking the way Koo's monkey killed the snake, and after a long and arduous fight Lung defeats and kills both experts and avenges Teacher Ho and Koo Ting-Sang

Themes[edit]

Various kung-fu styles are presented in the movie. Although styles with similar names are practiced in real-life, often the film presents its own take on each.

Drunken technique[edit]

Aside from the love of wine, a pillar of the style, as portrayed in the movie, appears to be the 'Hooking technique'. Training this technique involves the student attempting to, by use of the hooked forefinger, snatch tea cups that have been placed on poles situated around him. In opposition, the teacher will attempt to prevent the student from collecting any cups.

Teacher Ho sums up the style when he gives Lung some advice, 'be calm and be gentle, with [a] supple waist. Steps must be light, as though slightly drunk. All movements smooth, no rigid muscles, everything relaxed... in particular your hands. Don't forget the secret is its deceptiveness.'

Lung develops his own hybrid of the Drunken and Monkey styles however this is not necessarily related to the true Drunken Monkey style.

Snake form[edit]

A signature of this style appears to be the Snake-fist stance where either hand and arm is poised to resemble a provoked cobra. Striking is accompanied by a hissing noise and contact is made only by the tips of the fingers. In some scenes Hsia Sa is seen slithering about.

Monkey form[edit]

In addition to simply biting the opponent's hand, we see various actions particular to the style:

Tree-hopping. In the first proper fight-scene Koo Ting-sang uses his monkey technique against the snake-stylist Hsia Sa on the banks of the Pia Cha(?) river. At various points Koo Ting-sang is seen to leap from tree to tree clinging to the tree-trunk either by frontally embracing the trunk or wrapping his lower legs round the tree while keeping his back flat against the trunk. Despite being visually impressive, these moves would be difficult to execute in reality.

Four-limbed running is also demonstrated in various scenes.

Tiger Claw and Mantis-fist[edit]

The Yan family practiced this style. The Tiger-fist is seen with all fingers flexed into a paw-like shape, whereas the Mantis-fist is shown as having the index finger pointing straight down with the other fingers bunched into a fist. At one point, Lung and Koo ridicule the Mantis-fist by pointing out that the practitioner looks more like a crippled duck.

Noteworthy Dialogue (English dubbed version)[edit]

  • Just before Koo Ting-sang and the foremost exponent of the snake-style, Hsia Sa, engage in a fight to the death, Koo Ting-sang boasts, 'I know that your snake-style's terrific, but my Monkey-technique can kill snakes!'
  • After being presented with a gift of wine from Lung (possibly cost Lung his entire savings), Teacher Ho offers, 'Right! I'll take you... but as a cleaner-up!'
  • Reluctant to carry fish to a client, Lung to his co-worker, 'You're a lazy old bastard!'
