Staff Recruitment

[Seth]

Introduction
We are looking for skilled individuals that are willing to dedicate themselves in getting better and working on astounding projects at an indie level. While we want people who are talented and experienced, something that is so much more important is dedication and passion, so don't hesitate if you have these characteristics. We believe in making games for fun and getting better over making a paycheck since you know only good people make it in the industry or corporations with lots of money to throw.
 
This game is commercial and aimed at making money. We eventually plan to go through Steam Greenlight and possibly Kickstarter to fund a more sophisticated engine.
 

Concept
Nin Online is a 2-D MMORPG, set in a universe inspired by Naruto.

 

The game takes place in an original timeline, where the players define the story of the world. You play as your own alter ego, choosing your own path as a ninja. You start as an Academy Student in the village of your choice and train to become a powerful Ninja. You can participate in events such as Kage Elections, Diplomatic meetings, Wars, Chunnin Exams and more.

Community is the focus of the game. We will build systems which integrate the community, while still creating a fun and diverse PvP environment where you will be facing all kinds of enemy ninjas, from conflicts between organisations, conflicts between different villages, to conflicts between random enemy ninjas while travelling the world. Every player will have a background story, and it will go down in the history of Nin Online.

To emphasis the importance of community, we have spent countless hours building a large world filled with leisure areas to chill with your friends, and places to explore with your team, and we will continue to build it as we progress further into development.
