Abhi

I'm still around, fixing issues and doing shit. And yea, I let Seth and Rory deal with the community. They're much better at it. But still, show me some love... (no homo)

Why you don't like me?

There aren't any others. It's just me and Seth and we take two different parts of the game development. He does all the front end stuff of the game (The stuff which is seen by you guys) and I do the back end stuff.

Each and every positive feedback is golden to our ears. Let the positive feedback keep coming!!

Dear Ninja, It's been more than a year since my last Development log. I usually refrain from writing one of these since I'm really bad this. But due to the long blackout of information here I thought why not.. Introduction For the last few months we haven't told you anything about the progress of the game. We've not written any dev logs nor have we shown any proof of work being done and on behalf of the entire Nin team I'd like to apologize for this. I hope this Dev log is one of the many to come within the next few weeks. Preview We added in Facebook, Google and Twitter login to the forum but we didn't have Social Network Login implemented into the game. Due to this many people who registered through their social network account couldn't login to the game during tests without tweaking at their account settings. Social Network Connection was in our list but we didn't prioratize it enough. During this long break I finally got some time to implement this into the game. You can now login without having to enter in through Facebook or Google or even Twitter. Conclusion This may not seem much of a big update but at least it's something. Many of you complain that we aren't do any work but you've got to understand that our team is a team of mainly just 2 programmers, Seth and me. Seth is usually the only person who works on the game like almost everyday. All the negative feedback puts a lot of stress on him and the more the stress the less he works. I hope you guys don't stress him out too much your you can Nin Online, goodbye. Regards, Abhi2011

I don't play it. I'm the one programming for the dude. You don't need to install the run-time files if you have already done it for Nin Online. They all use the same run time files. For anyfurther help PM me. Don't spam on this topic please. Edit: Damn. Seth beat me to it!!

What are the odds!! And no it doesn't use EW. It uses another engine that was made by Brandon

We've been aiming for this dev blog ever since the last close alpha. Everything is preplanned on what is to be done and how it is to be presented.

afaik packet spooking is really difficult unless they know how the game actually works. It would be better to make a bot.

They should check before asking stupid questions everywhere. Once in a while its not a problem. It is fun answering the questions. But if a lot of newbies come online and start asking the same question over and over again it can become annoying. I have tried adding the server status to the sidebar but due to my bad PHP knowledge I couldn't get it to work. (The sidebar doesn't accept PHP properly)

This topic has been created because there has been an increasing amount people asking whether the download is up/server is up/when the server will be up. There is no download! The server is not up! The server will be up when it is ready! Any person hereby found asking questions related to the questions stated up will be warned for spamming.

Awesome launcher! Good work Whack!

Thanks for that.

I'm not sure. If they need arises then most probably they will be added in.

It won't take much but it will take a bit out. Yes updating your display name will update it in the game. Actually, its just a basic connector connected to the SQL db. In a way we are unifying. But there won't be any highscores or anything. Something like that might come in the near future. No promises though.

Try guessing out a day in the coming 10 days. Will be a lot easier for me. Thanks

Solving what?

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

I would have bought it if I could. (I have no cash unfortunately) /off-topic So this is why you got warned?
