"The long days are over, but we're still waiting on a half-portrait from @." Hi Ninjas, This is going to be a feature-rich demonstration showcasing some of the changes we've made on the engine side as well as a side of Music. Music and Sound The game has had all its music revamped thanks to @Afilion. We also have improved the sound volume of the interface to be quieter than the other sounds in the game such as animations and Jutsus. Emotes We've fixed numerous issues with our emote system, improving the fluency of the animations and adding more features such as repeating and slower animating. @Rory also has improved the heart emote and added a new one. Interactions and Combat There is no longer an attack animation such as kicking or swinging your weapon when interacting with an ally NPC or event. You now will only punch toward their direction. You don't have to use control anymore to swing your weapon, kick, or even punch. It can all be done by the right mouse button. This works great with WASD, arrow keys, and mouse movement. Shop We've made improvements to the shop to display your current gear rather than a naked version of yourself only with what you are hovering over. Conclusion This is my first one, but it isn't my biggest one coming before Open Alpha 3. We've made many small changes to the game, this is just a cosmetic preview of the most significant changes that you will notice. Stay tuned for my big one in a few weeks!

Dear Ninjas, This must be the 100th time I've started a topic with "Dear Ninjas". Each time I do that, I feel a sense of achievement, because I'm either presenting something that the team has worked on, or announcing something to the followers of this project. Over 10 years ago, I was doing exactly what you guys are doing today, checking in on a Naruto fan MMO. I had watched 30+ episodes of Naruto and thought to myself "this concept is WAY too amazing to not have an MMORPG", so I googled it and found a bunch of fan games at the time - NarutoRealm and NarutoQuest mainly. I followed these two projects religiously, checking on the forums to see if there were any updates every few days. I was always looking forward to a release date, so you can imagine my disappointment and heart break to see both these projects slowly fade into death. This was when I decided to make Nin Online, and would spend years practicing art and game development to the point where I could create the game I so desperately wanted. Hence, you could say that Nin Online is not just another Naruto fan game. Nin Online is NarutoRealm, Nin Online is NarutoQuest, Nin Online is Last Ninja Online, Nin Online is Hidden Villages Online, Nin Online is NarutoRivals. Nin Online is the game that every person in the last 10 years has attempted to make, but had given up before even reaching a test stage. I have followed every single one of these projects. This game's purpose is to carry on the hours of work and heart put into all these projects, but this time we will see it happen. In 2013, I finally decided to make this dream game of my happen, and so I started working on it alone for a month before finally getting Whack on the team and announcing the game to the world. I was so surprised that the game gained an instant following. Flash forward to today, I still have my 'ninjas' coming in here everyday, giving me ideas, suggestions, advice, critique and even their money to make this game. It has been 2 years of development, and while we are only on the verge of a beta.. I am proud that Nin Online has gotten this far. Further than any other attempt at a Naruto fan game of this scale by years of work and I couldn't have gotten here without the support of all of my Ninjas, Gold Ninjas, Silver Ninjas and especially not without my trustworthy team of developers. It doesn't cross my mind on a day-to-day basis, but we have something really magical going on here. It's a collective dream happening. I am glad to be the one follower of this project 10 years ago, to finally make it happen. It doesn't stop here! Give my team your support as we push for a beta announcement date! Thank you for these 2 years, Ninjas. Thank you for making Nin Online what it is today! Regards, Rory

Couldn't resist.

Ok so where do I begin with this. Like this and that last post that Rory put up, man you guys are doing an amazing job and seeing this kind of stuff turns me on down below and in the heart *Yummy Yummy* That new emote thing is freaking amazing. I've never actually seen that in an MMO before so there's something new and with regards to the shop, Yo! I've been saying this for the longest! We needed that Seth THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!! Now I won't have to worry about buying something new and not knowing what it would look like on me until after I buy it. We needed this. Excellent update. Also, nice touch to the combat interaction deal. Made me feel strange swinging my sword at the npc's in order to engage into a conversation. Now for the grand finale! The mouse right click used for attacking. Now I can actually combined my taijutsu and ninjutsu together effectively instead of having to switch up my hands every single time I run out of chakara. This is a very good addition to the game and this post is fantastic OMG!! If I was a chick I would be soaked! Awesome job! THIS POST HAS EARNED MY BAD ASS SEAL OF APPROVAL!

Seth is being modest right here. He also has made numerous combat & audio improvements.

It's not Sharingan. It is just a Jutsu for fun. Coding in a no-animation feature just for that one Jutsu is a waste of time.

Jeez got moist looking at those previews
