Rory's Development Log #8: The darker places It's been awhile since my last development log. Since then, we had a short early alpha test release, which brought to light many many problems which we're working on fixing before the near alpha test. I have also taken the time to create and implement new content. In the early alpha, everyone was confined in a bright and shiny Konoha. I've decided to open up the world just a little bit bigger. You can now explore the forests surrounding Konoha and even enter some darker places. Who knows what kind of dangers lie in stall for you outside of the village! Without further ado, here are some of the maps that I've created. For those who don't know much about mapping, it's a lot of work especially for tiles on a grander scale than the usual BYOND 32x32 tiles. It's made harder by the fact you have to balance between layers above the characters and below. Luckily, our map editor is user friendly enough and I've managed to complete 5 forest maps so far. This one is a familiar scene to Naruto fans! Also notice how we've added some really pretty light rays for day time in the maps. We now have a time system, 2x faster than the real world clock. Hiding jutsus will work more effectively at night, so invasions and fights in the night are going to be interesting! On to some.. darker places. These are war zones, so everyone is in danger here regardless of whether anyone has toggled PvP. Here is a blocked bridge. And.. a small road split. These are some screenshots of the 4 times of day in action. Night Sunrise Sunset Sunrise You've seen this in the screenshots at the beginning of the dev log. Well now that everyone has seen what we've been up to.. I hope you guys understand when I say, there's still a lot to do. We definitely won't be able to make a re-release within the next 10 days. So hold your horses for a little while! We apologize. Regards, Rory

Let's be honest here, Origins is waaay more powerful than BYOND. That's not an insult, that's not arrogant pride, it's fact. Comparing a custom-built, performance conscious, open-source application to a user-friendly scripting engine is like comparing apples and oranges. Each one serves a different purpose. BYOND's tech is there to make it as easy as possible for people new to computers to make any kind of game. Origins was developed precisely because applications like that are inherently wasteful and slow. If you look in the code, especially in terms of the networking system, you'll see that anything we do will be miles ahead of anything from the competition. Is it perfect? God no. In fact compared to our newest stuff it's pretty damn shoddy. However the people who've worked on it have put everything they had in to it and made something used by hundreds of not thousands of people around the world. Both systems serve their own purpose and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Starting an argument over which one is 'better' is subjective and just plain childish.

I think the prologue is genius, seriously, I've never witnessed such a roleplaying powerful prologue. First of all they tell us that the balance of the world war/peace related is unstable and that its up to us to make it up, UP TO US, THE PLAYERS, means the whole game depends on US and our interactions with each other. Then they add a threat, not major, so that we actually have the option to get that organization to work for us or we can ally to beat it, honestly, such a short thing with so much story and possibilities makes me proud to read, very good job, can't wait for more to be added.

Thanks. Well sorry if my comparisons hurt your feelings. I'm speaking very generally to the majority of BYOND games, not those which push the engine to its limits like Spirit Age and your mystical better than Nin BYOND game.

Abhi's Development Log #1 New Login System And Possibly Release Date! Hello fellow Nin Onliners, This is my first Development Log, so please bear with me. Almost the entire community would like to know how and why I became a developer. Along with what I am doing. I became a Developer a few days back. For those who don't I created the Updater. (Its open-source) and I basically helped everyone with DirectX problems. So, I thought why not just help with the game. I am currently working on an Authentication or Login Server. Auth Server/Login Server An Authentication or a Login Server a separate server that will take care of player login and other BTS stuff. This will reduce the load on the game server. The new Auth Server is linked to the Forum MySQL database. It "authenticates" or cross-checks the username and password of the player while login with the actual data. If the details are valid then it starts filling up your account with the necessary data, including your Forum Display Name as your IGN and your forum group. All Administrators will automatically become Game-Admins and all Developers will become Game-Mods. The same with Gold Shinobis. As most of you might be knowing Rory's going to be working on cosmetic items that will be sold in a "Forum-Store" (You can buy it from a store which is going to come up in the Forums.") When one buys items, the item will automatically be updated in the game. The Auth-Server will help a lot in this. Now for the best part, the Release Date. I don't want to spoil on the fun so I am not going to say much. But what I can say is that it is coming soon. (Within the next 10 days.) If anyone wants to guess when its coming up, please do so in their posts in this topic. Please do not create multiple topics discussing it. Best Regards, Abhi2011 - Developer

You guys should make a game trailer, showing the features that you will have in the game. I want the game to have more people and I think a trailer would attract a lot of them.

the only thing to do during peace is to prepare for chaos. for it will happen

You know, In times of peace there is nothing to do but make babies, because...ya know there is peace and things are lovely.

I will swag yolo all over you and you will swag in it. You’re fucking dead, nikka.

Leave rory alone! ...because he's awesome and needs to work on the game

i won one of your comps although i already have gold so PANCAKES!

Lots of people are complaining about the 200 years but no one is offering a new one. I have serious doubts that anyone in this community is capable of writing a more interesting prologue, let alone one that is grammatically and syntaxially correct. Who will prove me wrong?

I'll stick to my generic Leaf Ninja Path for now... xD

The girl in the picture's kinda attractive, anyone agree?

I'll be... whoever leads the ninja of the Sound Village, I guess. Is this just, like, our aspirations or what? I dunno how in-depth this game is gonna let us customize our characters in the way of jutsu and/or position, but I have had an RP character for some time that I've never really gotten a chance to fully utilize . A-Hem: My name is Onryo Buraku, Elite Jonin of Otogakure. I was born into an ignoble, decentralized clan that only escaped discrimination in Orochimaru's "haven for outsiders." In my youth, I accompanied my mother and a few other members of my clan, traveling through the Land of Sound to provide services of channeling and exorcism. I was in training to be a medium. At the age of four, bandits attacked our party, leaving most of our group injured and my mother dead. I saw her bleed out in front of my eyes for half an hour, and was faced with a profound sense of despair that even while she was still clinging to life, I was unable to do anything to aid her. Those who survived the bandit raid knew I would become dead weight if I did not learn the skills only my mother was prepared to teach me, so they brought me to a nearby orphanage instead. Like many orphans in the Land of Sound, I was transferred to a ninja academy so that I could be of use to Otogakure, a lot in life I would later come to consider something of a "true calling." After passing Ninja Academy exams with flying colors, I was apprenticed to an elderly jonin of great skill and perfectly balanced temperament. At the time, I was still distraught at the memory of my mother's death, and tormented by my own powerlessness in the face of it. I feared that her soul would never rest if I never did anything to rectify this powerlessness, and so I attempted to learn medical-ninjutsu to save others from dying as she had. When it became clear that I had no talent for medical-ninjutsu, my sensei took it upon himself to remove the aspiration from my head. I was subsequently taught not to care whether my mother rested in peace or not, and told that fear and hatred were tools to be used, not disabilities to be overcome. I found my niche in genjutsu, wherein I was able to utilize the hatred I grew to have for others, and twist my own fears into illusions to torture them. After a while I even found a way to combine genjutsu with ninjutsu, in order to damage my opponents whilst fooling them into thinking their wounds were more or less serious than they truly were. I came to see those who embody fear, despair and vulgarity as ideal in this world, dropping my animosity against those who had attacked my clan and I in my childhood, realizing that they did well to torment us so. Over the years, I tried to become the ideal kunoichi, striking terror into the hearts of foe and friend alike, in hopes of gaining a measure of submissive respect from those around me. Although I eventually reached a position of high power within Otogakure, organizing and commanding its ninja forces, I tend to keep a low, unambitious profile. I have few hobbies and fewer friends. A vague reputation as an opponent to be feared, and the chance to pass my skills on to the next generation, are all I need to feel as if I can live and die contentedly.

That's correct, Unanimus, Macs can get viruses. Apple just claims that it can't. They play on their consumer's ignorance in order to make a sale. In reality, not enough people give a shit about Macs to make viruses for them because they're useless.

Sounds fun. But i cannot join for not only do i want to be tsuchikage but this sounds like most of the people i chill with but i will recommend one soldier for you. I assure you she is powerful Her is her picture:

@Rory I don't know what people's problem with trying to find an error in a story line, just shut the hell up and deal with it then progress from then and play the god damn game.

Well yeah, but we're changing things. 200 years is a lot of time, I agree. We'll be sure to stay true to the situation by adding new things and feeling free to change things if we please to fit it.

Why does everyone have S rank skills. Lmao, prob don't even know what rp is.

Whats up guys! My name is Shuran as you can see, and my character is going to be named Kaguya, Azuto from the village, Kirigakure. Azuto is a young boy, and appears to be around seven or eight to others, but he is actually eleven. Azuto was an orphan and was abused by his peers, and the owners since a very young age. He ran from the orphanage after about three years of abuse. He was there for about six years in total. He was brought there when he was two, and then the first year there was fine. So at the age of three, the abuse started, and he left at the age of six. He went to forest where he trained and fended for himself, getting stronger physically. Now that Azuto is eleven, he has decided to join the Academy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personality : Cold, Distant Hair Color : Silver Eye Color : Dark Blue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fighting Style

I sometimes lie to my dog about the fact that Santa Claus fights with Tooth Fairies monkeys in my neighborhood garden...

same as PS3/Xbox more than likely you will need to hook up a Xbox/Ps3 remote to play it though

I would hold off on game trailers until we have a stable game with a lot more content so players don't login & log right now when nothing is in the game because they'll most likely look at the game every time after that as a bad game.

Yup! I'm afraid having more done would be more important at this point. I have thought about doing gameplay videos, but that will also come later on. We're just aiming for a release at this point
