Dear Ninjas, It's my pleasure to announce that we'll be releasing the game this Sunday (15 Sep - time in the post below this one) for all Gold (& Silver) Ninja. This will be the first phase of the 2nd Early Alpha Test. The second phase will of course come a few days after that and be open for everyone else! About Forum/Game Accounts Take note that now that the Authentication server is complete, the server will be accessed with your forum login name. Once in the game, the name that will display as your Ninja's name will be that of your forum display name. In preparation for the release, all members have been given a free name change! The server will only be accessible to accounts which have donated for the Gold Ninja Badge. Why get Gold Ninja early? Don't miss out on the chance to get into the game world early (though you will not have much of an upper hand besides experiencing the game & it's new content earlier), get your Gold Ninja badge by visiting the Nin Online store. A reminder is that the Early Gold Ninja Reward is still up for grabs until this Sunday where the extended offer will finally close for good. From then, the Gold Ninja Forehead protector will never be available again! Offer is now over! When will normal players get to test? We're hoping to clear a large amount of bugs before releasing it to public, but at the same time we want to test for more bugs and things we can improve on with a smaller testing group - hence we're calling for our benefactors to do us the favor. The public test could be anytime from 4 days to a week later! How will I get into the game? You will be provided instructions through a forum PM when the Alpha Test is about to commence. Regards, Rory

Dear Ninja, It's been awhile since the last development log. I thought I'd share some sweet news about the development along with some pretty screenshots to please your eyes for the time being. We've been taking trips to visit Konoha between our long hours working on the game, and I can only describe the place with this word - "Home". Each time I log in and visit the pier I feel like I could just chill with my friends there for hours and talk about anything! I can't help but feel proud that I built this village myself with this as the objective. I wanted to create a home for all the leaf ninjas to feel like they belonged somewhere. I was largely influenced by Ragnarok Online in my teenage years to know the importance of creating a grand hub where players could enjoy just hanging out with their friends in. Ignore the naked, bald men selling food in the night market. This is a picture of our visit to the Night Market today. It was rather cloudy as you can see! Update on Authentication Server Abhi has gotten the Authentication server done and almost bug free. What this means is that as I type this, I'm playing Nin Online with my forum account! It won't be long before we release a stable client for everyone to play. Update on other problems Unfortunately, the 1024x768 resolution is still not optional at this point in time. We're going to work to fix this as soon as possible. It's a problem which mainly affects those who use 1366x768 monitors (mostly laptops), and it's a problem we want to fix. It is quite a bit of work required though. Update on content Abhi is likely going to revamp much of the mission system which is in place at the moment. It's isn't adequate if we want to build the game around interesting missions for everyone! The Academy Student phase of the Leaf Village up until the end of the Genin Test and graduating is complete! The Konoha outskirts are much much more vast than they were before now. Hope these screenshots can satisfy your thirstiness for Nin Online for the time being while we work hard to push for a release as soon as possible. All I can say is Gold Ninjas should stay tuned for a closed test really soon! Regards, Rory

Rory double posted, time to report.

i might just buy gold

I use to follow the game years ago and every blue moon, I'd randomly check to see if you picked the project back up... and here I am. :-)

I remember years ago when you first started this project. I always had a feeling you'd pick it back up, everything is looking good and I can't wait to play! :-)

alright calm down you're both peasants to me

Man oh man this doesn't satisfy my thirst. It made me more thirsty, >.<

Aww, but you made the forum so much more fun :3 I'll probably have to run my own fan art contest soon.

Is that the Lion Combo?
