Dear Ninja, It's been ages since I did a non-development log show-off post. So I'd like to do just that! @Seth recently added support for different resolution sizes, but did you know we also support 2560 x 1080 Ultrawide resolution? The more you know! Regards, Rory

Both! Battle Injuries is meant to keep your out of combat, for you to do other things! Where can I see your art?

That's the thing I want to stay away from, I don't want them to contribute to PvP/PvE. That defeats the purpose of doing something else and they just end up becoming part of the PvP meta game.

Hey Ninja, This is going to be something different! Mostly because we've reached a point in development where I'm pretty happy with the amount of content in combat, besides the bugs we'd like sorted out as soon as we can, I'd like to take some time to talk about my plans for the game from here. This is going to be my first development log which has no pictures! Inspiration Reflection Direction If you have ideas, please do write about it in the suggestions section. I may not reply to all of them, but I look at them when it comes to times where I'm looking for inspiration. If you want to throw a fit of rage, comments!

Dear Ninja, Nin Online is back online! We're proud to finally say, that after a long period of downtime, we're resuming our Closed Beta phase. If everything goes smoothly, we should be in Open Beta really soon as well. We've also made so much progress to the game, since we were last online Missions Daily missions that you can take from the Mission Assignment Desks Resolution Options & Fullscreen You can find these settings in the Updater settings tab Control Settings It's been one of the most requested feature by our veteran players. You can now change your control scheme in the updater settings tab! Gentle Fist Sub-path for Taijutsu STR Path for Taijutsu mastery. Leaf village hidden techniques. Fan Style Sub-path for Wind STR Path for Wind mastery. Sand village hidden techniques. Sword Style Sub-path for Weapon STR Path for Weapon mastery. Available for all.

We hope that our Gold/Silver members will return and help us prepare the game for everyone and hope to see you online soon! We'll be distributing special items to compensate for the time lost. Regards, Rory

It was transferable between servers from the start. There was a brief period in time where they rolled back a few hours when you swapped between, without waiting for the character to save. But that was over a year ago.

Characters can be moved across servers seamlessly, they're more like channels.

And my time thanks.

Exactly. I don't get it either.

Dear Ninja, First of all, I want to take some time to talk about the status of the beta phase. We really like it. We're almost done making Nin Me and Seth have been working hard enough to get things done, and slacked off enough to not get burnt out for the past 6 months and so after a good 6 months of hard work work.. without further ado.. The game world is basically complete as you can see, all we need to do is add some buildings and trees and what not and it'll be a full game I'm sure! Premium Masteries So we asked ourselves internally, what does a pancreas do exactly? We decided that it would be best to add new masteries for everyone, because 8 just wasn't doing it. Some of the ideas that we considered included Seals mastery, Genjutsu mastery and of course Puppet mastery. So presenting to you... Uchiha Mastery The mastery of Itachijutsu, Uchiha Mastery makes you a Itachi, a prodigy of the Leaf Village's Uchiha Clan, who became an international criminal after murdering his entire clan, sparing only his younger brother, Sasuke. Itachi-nin can learn jutsus such as Sharingan and Raven Fireball Technique. Scorpion Mastery Scorpion Mastery is the specialization of clawjutsu, it transforms you into a Scorpion and you get a variety of customization options for your scorpion-nin. I'm sure you guys will have a lot of questions, especially "why is there no red option?" We initially included a red scorpion option, but we eventually decided to remove it because it looked too much like a lobster. Which brings us to the final mastery! Lobster Mastery Unlike Scorpion Mastery, however, Lobster Mastery does not have customization, as we firmly believe that lobsters should remain red. Paid Masteries As we've hinted in the title of this development log, these masteries will be Cash Shop purchases. We've yet to set a price to unlock them, but we're looking at a subscription model. Thank you for taking your time to read this! Please leave us your feedback. Regards, Rory

Fingers crossed for next generation

That's how I felt when I finished the manga. I'll probably continue watching from the point I stopped in the anime someday, and definitely want to get to those filler arcs, flashbacks and side stories that aren't in the manga. I can't wait to see how it goes, but I'm still skeptic about it. I don't like how Boruto and a lot of the kids just follow after their parents in design too much. I feel like that it limited how much a new generation of ninjas could've been if they didn't make all the main characters just kids of the previous main characters. :/

So an unrelated anime just ended its run after 10 years, how about that!

Welcome to the team and looking forward to what you will add to the community

Sub-paths are based on stats, so you'll require a certain amount of STR for Gentle Fist jutsus and AGI for Speed Style. If you put your stats split among them, you could be a mix of both, but at the cost of not being very good at either. I don't think that will be recommended, but players are free to try!

Don't worry about world blessings, they will all be returned to you even if you used them or not! Seth is working on missions as we speak and it's looking good. We will relaunch with a few variation of dailies, but I'll add more as we go along. It might be slightly repetitive at first, but we'll add more as we go. Hopefully with more things to do, and with dailies that force players to traverse the world, it'll make the game feel less repetitive and grindy. The mission system will also be what we need to create story missions finally!!

I cannot refund time, but I can offer to refund your money. Its never nice to feel cheated of your money, as I always say, Gold ninja is not a purchase of early access or buying a game, I put that tier out to people who want to support our development and help us continue to maintain the server and the fees that come with developing an MMORPG. It's a free game at it's core and you can still enjoy it that way - when it's out of beta. Thanks for the positive responses guys, unfortunately, I can't agree to restore levels based on screenshots because that would be horrific to those who did not take screenshots. Instead, we're aiming for a fair way to reimburse everyone of their time. As much as possible, I want atleast everyone who is in closed beta to be level 30 in a few days with minimal effort. We'll see in a few days..!

I've been trying to get him to rest more as well, thanks for all the support, did not expect the bad news to be received well at all. Regarding the timing for the event, @Absolianconsidering not everyone will be free during a set timed event. I think it would be more appriopriate to give out XP boost items but I'll look into the viability of that. Thanks!

Dear Ninjas, As some of you may have known, our programmer, Seth was previously hospitalized due to personal health issues. Bad News During his hospitalization, something unfortunate happened, as Seth was the one doing manual transactions to pay for the dedicated server, he was unable to make payment in time for our server and as such, the server went offline and our provider went ahead and wiped the server of all our data. We did not lose much progress in development, but due to our lack of foresight, we lost all the player save data during Closed Beta up until now. We're sincerely sorry for the trouble this has been and we'll be trying our best to make it up to you guys.. Better News Since Seth is back, things are starting to progress again, and we're thinking of how we can make things up to everyone who had worked so hard during closed beta. We don't have any way of restoring everyone's leveling progress. But I definitely do not want to force everyone to go through that again. Before we bring Closed Beta back live, we're going to be implementing a few new features including Daily Missions, to make the leveling experience less repetitive. We also will definitely do an XP event in the coming weeks. Seth has also been working hard to fix countless bugs that were reported during the tests and features that I need to continue development to ensure going forward, things will be smoother. He's just recovered, but he's more worried about how to make it up to the players for this incident this than he is for his own health right now, and I understand why. I know we will have lost the trust in many of you guys. But I promise we will learn from this situation and we're already putting systems in place to prevent such an incident from happening ever again. I hope you stay with us as we continue to bring you updates about whats to happen in the coming days. Regards, Rory

Dear Ninja, First of all, I apologize for the lack of updates once again! Hopefully things will start picking back up soon. It's such a waste that we can't get Open Beta out quicker. I don't want to over hype whats coming, but we've been working on the new sub-paths for masteries, namely Kenjutsu (Sword Style), Gentle Fist and Fan Style. Sword Style This is one of the jutsus I've completed for Sword Style! It's called Risky Blade Technique. Why is it risky? You'll see! Gentle Fist Though it's name states it's gentle, the amount of power these techniques will push out will depend on the controlled strength of the user. Art by @Master Ant In addition to it's regular kit, Gentle Fist will be the first sub-style to include a Hidden Technique, which will be rare and not attainable through scribes. Fan Style Wind Mask Technique is a utility Jutsu for Fan Users that I think will come in handy for a lot of war/pvp situations. Art by @Master Ant I hope everyone continues to give us your support and patience as we try to make sure the game is ready for Open Beta! Also, do note that from now on we'll be trying our best to roll out large changes like entire new sub-paths at once. Also, new mob coming soon! Also, miss you guys! Regards, Rory
