Its kind of like Tenchu meets Splinter Cell, though all real Bujinkan Ninjutsu techniques. No fantasy or flying around with grappling hooks. Its all planned to be the way it was. Works been a lil slow at the moment with the new studio coming up.

Hellz no, you'll see in the outline that its a stealth based ninja game though more realistic then the others you've seen out there.

Well, we plan to enter the competition with a 2-3 stage demo in I think August next year for the final stage of the competition. The winner gets a licence to use Unreal Engine to publish a game, so yeah I guess id try get it on shelves if possible.

But in saying that its a big task and there are some GREAT teams out there. For now we'll just keep working away at this for ourselves and see how we do. (^__^)

Cheers for the input, but the game design is pretty much already decided. Stealth will be a key part of the game so the UE3 AI will play a large role. We wont be speeding up time as you suggested. This is a realistic Stealth simulation. Time will go as normal and most missions will be during the early morning, sunset and the cover of night.

Nah not dead at all. We've just been busy lately. As this is our part time project some times we will be side tracked. Im moving overseas shortly so that takes up alot of my time. But anyways I'll be looking at getting things back up and running asap!

Thanks for the input. But to be fair to our modeller the pics up atm on Moddb aren't the best quality. I am thinking about getting parts of the texture redone though.

Sorry another question, as this sounds interesting is will it be more realistic sword technique based or will they be slashing giant beams of light and dashing at sonic speeds?

Are you going to make up characters or use actual swordsman like Miyamoto Musashi and Yagyu Jubei etc?

Thank you, once we get further along we should bring out a quick video of in game basic movements. Hopefully it's not going to be too far away.

I think quite a few people dont realise the reason we have this page. We're basicly putting up any steps we make in this game to show the community. Similar to our blog but abit more basic. So people dont need to ask why models look basic and why screen shots are small etc. What we show we show (^__^) As the game progresses and higher quality models are placed in map then we will post nicer shots etc.

We do appreciate peoples interest, but please realise we are showing a step by step MOD in the making. Our methods may be different then others, but this is the path we've decided to take.

Thanks for reading!

Hehe fair enough, most of em are just work in progress pictures at the moment. A lot of the current model will be changed out etc. Done worry though, once we have more to show we'll make them High Def (^__^)
