Well guys were doing it.
We've got a new studio underway so things have been a little slow development wise. We will have a new web page specifically for the Studio and Ninja:Rekishi shortly and will be posting the address here once the site is complete.
For a better look into the process of our game development please view our blog until the team page is up.
Please visit our development blog at: Ninjamod.blogspot.com
Ninja: Rekishi (Ninja:History) will be a historically correct Ninja simulation/stealth game. There will be NO flying grappling hooks or invisibility techniques. The game will come down to pure skill such as misdirection, stealth and technique. The game itself will be based around the player taking control of a Ninja/Shinobi from the feudal period in Japan. As a Ninja the player will have missions to accomplish as given to him by his ruling Daimyo and clan leader.
A lot of historical ninja tools will be available such as: Tanto, Testu-bishi, Ninja-to, Bo, Fukiya and Metsubishi. Just to name a few. For those who have no idea of the few tools I just named. It means you will be able to use everything from Blinding powders, Ninja swords and knives to blowpipes and grappling hooks. All in all the game will be very well rounded when it comes to the tools and weapons available. Though the tools themselves will be historically correct and wont have any "special" abilities and so on.
At the moment the Single player demo is underway, which will let players go through the training stage. Later we plan to release Single Player Story, Co-Op Story and Multiplayer Vs Modes.
This is Great! Makesomethingunreal.com Epic have made a contest for Modding groups such as our own. Basically what will happen is that Modding groups from around the world that use the Unreal 3 Engine have a chance to win a full licence to publish the game they make, not to mention make some $$$. I this this as a great opportunity for us to gain so interest from around the world! So we will be entering this competition. Wish us luck (^__^)

Too bad it looks like this mod is dead, as its exactly what I am looking for.
There are people who want to play a realistic ninja stealth game without the ridiculous anime inspired theme.
Seriously did you give up?
can't wait for this mod. will there be a cook for the ps3?
No news for months, what's going on? Dead?
Oh and, if your gonna include music ingame, limit it to certain conditions... Too many sounds can mess up a multiplayer stealth game cause music can prevent you from hearing enemies...
EDIT: Will there be team assassination moves like in Tenchu Z? It would be neat to have players cooperate to kill all enemies in a area in quick and perfect timing, and have players trying to prevent the ninjas from doing so.
Also, the difficulty needs to be hard enough to penalize you for not using stealth and trying to go rambo...
A samurai is much more dangerous than you think when he has his guard up and is coming at you...
Tracking this mod... very excited to see a japan-themed mod going on for UT3!
Will this be knitty-gritty, realistic ninjas? Or more ninja gaiden bollocks with magic etc?
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.
Sounds like my perfect game. Can't wait :D
Hey guys, just a summary upade. We've made a big step and will conintue this project as a studio demo. Come back and check it out every so often as a new WEB PAGE link will be posted shortly.
Congrats and good luck on opening the studio. The work shown so far looks great, I'm sure your team will go far =)
Thanks man, appreciate it.
