Dear Ninja, It's been a really long time since I've posted a development log. This is going to be the first one of 2018.. don't expect a lot of these though! It takes up time to write these and prepare pictures and stuff, so most of the time, I'm just going to implement them into the game quietly. But as we move into the next development phase, I thought it'd be interesting to share some plans for the future. The current development timeline is.. Mastery Combinations The recent balance changes was to make way for new jutsu based on hybrid stats builds. This is the start of level 50+ content, jutsu styles like Medical + Taijutsu giving Tsunade/Sakura aka. Inner Strength style. Inner Strength style will be scaled based on Agility and Chakra stat. We will release these combinations one by one starting with Inner Strength, then Taijutsu and Sword + Elemental Masteries, eg. Water + Sword to get Suigetsu/Zabuza style jutsu. Lightning + Taijutsu will give you Raikage style jutsu. Elemental Kekkai Genkai will take a backseat for now (eg. Wood Release). Second Non-ninja village Takumi village is a smaller, non-ninja village. There are multiple of these planned for each country. Takumi village is in the land of rivers, ran by the Daimyo of the land. The next one is a slightly larger casino/gambling village inspired by Tanzaku Quarters (the village they found Tsunade in), which will feature ways to lose all your savings! Forbidden Techniques I get this question about jutsu like Rasengan or Hiraishin Technique a lot. "What mastery is it going to be?". It's been one of the trickiest thing to balance, but I think I've managed to find a way to balance such techniques without being over powered. The latest addition of limited jutsu slot is one of the changes made to accommodate such a balance. With limited slots, just learning every jutsu becomes impossible. Combined with the rarity of these scrolls, you will find that even though very few ninja will have Rasengan for example, it will not break the game because they will be sacrificing another jutsu to make way for their Forbidden techniques. It will still be a challenge to fine tune these jutsu to not be over powered, but still feel valuable and pay homage to their anime counterparts, but I have no doubt we're going in the right direction! Specialized Masteries Once you reach level 50, you will be given the choice to specialize in your previous mastery to unlock Advanced Jutsu for that mastery. Eg. Taijutsu + Specialize will give you 8 Gates style Taijutsu. Fire + Specialize will give you Advanced Fire Ninjutsu which will feature even more crazy AoE. Specialized Masteries continue to scale with damage. Land of Iron This one has been in the works for the longest time. But it was postponed due to it being something from Shippuden. So it felt like it had to be level 50+ content. Once the new jutsu are released, it should be about time to implement all the art done for it. Mist village A slightly more distant goal, the hope is to release the legendary bloody mist sometime within the year. I hope this gets you excited for the year ahead! There's also probably going to be a lot of smaller misc. things added through the year. As always, it's not going to be easy mass producing high quality art, so I hope for your support in this journey. Regards, Rory

Hell yeah!! *Resets Itachi to get pure fire*

It is time

Bonus [not an entry]:

Added optional readable books in each academy that contain knowledge on various less vital subjects in the game. Mutant Rat spawns are now random. Daily Missions no longer give Holiday Tokens.

Yea, having a larger world to play in excites me as well.

Im not gonna lie. This is my favorite out of all. Its time to get rich.

Just an extra one to use in the future

"no title"

Typical day of missing ninja

What you do is really amazing. It's breathtaking. Without Nin, my life would be much more boring. The only thing I can say is 'Thank you' for creating such beautiful things.

you can be 2nd Mizukage

Looks like a lot of things are coming our way! Thanks for all your hard work c:

Finally I get to be a Mizukage. #make2018ninGreat.

I am really looking for World Map working after this!

Can we uhh get that wiki updated with the new justsus before it comes out so we know weather or not we want to master our previous mastery?

The thought of Mist being released this year has me extremely excited. It has been my favorite village for the longest time. Now I need to decide whether or not I'll go with pure Tai or Tai/Medic...choices. When all this is released I hope you give mastery resets, as-well as village resets (when mist is added). The only reason I would not join Mist is due to having to re-level my character. Just some stuff to think about as y'all move forward.

Love this!

It seems that I will have to wait some time before I can get what I want but this is a start. I also think it will help out with balancing if the very powerful jutsus thats Forbiden Techniques are limmited to one per ninja and also it should use 2 jutsu slot and not just 1 because if they are anything like the one we had before (cursed seal) then it is as good or even better than 2 jutsus. How long must I wait for summoning.

@Balcoin

So many Mizukages. I just want Paper or Sand release. ^^

Finally, the Hozuki Clan can take back their rightful spots as a ninja of the Blood Mist village! also look forward to serving @Mell as my Mizukage. You're going to be Mizukage right?

Lightning and Water gives you Storm Release if I'm not mistaken.

OMG!! I can't wait for all this new content.

Sweet updates! @Rory Can't wait for the casino! Also increasing lightning damage with water as combination.

I've taken my time to hand craft this character in preparation for everything to come. I'm excited to wreak havoc across the land.

The time really goes fast, i can still remember when NinOnline was this, and how it evolved onto this. NinOnline, a game that makes your dreams real and the realistic one of this types.

I wasn't expecting such tough competition or such heavy edits, now I'm gonna lose. My chosen screenshot is the one I uploaded right here - the screenshots that are on Imgur are the rest which I didn't pick for the contest but could still be used as promotion material or something. https://imgur.com/a/pNL5O

This is one of my favorites posted. Really well done The life and death of @Anatsu Dan

Spirit of the Bandit Sword...

What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil? Personally, I commit evil deeds to defeat the greater evil. It's all in the name of true peace.

Leaf Festival!

My favorite photo, the beginning of a journey!

Just leaving this here. :3

I don't know what it is about this picture, but it's friggin awesome. So simple, but yet so cool. @Niti and I made a gif of us using chidori on each other and teleporting to the middle (After what seemed like a hundred failed attempts).. We had someone else stand in the middle and targeted and teleported to him and just photo shopped him out of it. unfortunately the copy I had was lost when my hardrive was wiped. Idk if he still has it though
