Dashing escape only when all keys are released (movement improvement)
Update v0.2.2 is now live
The new map system is now fully implemented. You can now enter into another map through a portal.
Development Log:
This took quite some time to implement due to all systems using single channels and I had to transition them all to be map-aware. On top of that, there was the handling of complex collisions and bunch of debugging with baking maps from Blender. Everything is now handled efficiently and seamlessly.
Please report any bugs you find!
In two days, it'll be Ninjora's 2 Month Anniversary. We've got some ways to go but we're inching closer and closer to where we need to be. Cheers!
Update v0.2.1 is now live
The next release v0.2.1 will feature a map system that fully integrates with authoring from Blender to the game and game server.
The system automatically bakes exported files from Blender into usable data for collisions, portals, objects, entities alike so that the game can display it and have the player interact with the environment precisely. Allowing game map creation flow to be straight-forward and essentially quick. Blender > Automatic Baker > Client displays > Server checks
What this means for the players
There will be world exploration as well as in-door maps, environmental objects, trees, rocks, etc. The game will no longer feature just running across a plain grass field. You will now be able to go inside the ramen shop and buy a meal.
Coming soon!
Authentication and Database live and fully integrated into the website.
Your character, game progression, and journey are now all saved. The system is seamlessly integrated with your community account which ensures your game account is the same as your community account.
The game has officially entered Alpha Phase:
expect to see much more game content, jutsus, real maps, monsters, missions.
Cheers!
Update v0.2.0 is now live
Ninjora is entering the progression & database phase where all game data / player information is saved. The system is currently working in the dev environment, it just needs a few tweaks and it'll be ready to deploy to the live game server.
