“You need to practice every day. So when the time comes, you will be ready.”
To announce the game 9 Monkeys of Shaolin we directed and produced this intro to the game’s protagonist Wei Cheng. His grandfather always taught him to prepare for battle. Unskilled, yet training daily with his grandfather’s memory. Wei, who is just a regular fisherman, charges into battle against the pirate raid to defend his own village.
