  11. Introducing Guilds

    in Announcements

    Posted

    Dear Ninja,

    image.png

    We've just launched a brand new major feature - Guilds!

    Guilds are player organizations where you can contribute towards a common goal, and build towards a large community of like-minded individuals, collectively getting more powerful.

    Be warned that guild names cannot be changed and owners cannot be transferred without restarting.

    Guild Features

    image.png

    Guild Perks

    image.png

    Guilds comes with many cool features, like Guild Ranks, Guild Emblems, Bulletin Boards, Guild Chat Channel, Friendly Fire Toggling, Alliances and more, all unlockable through the Guild Perks System.

    Guild Emblems

    image.png

    There are hundreds of customizable pieces to choose from to create your guild's unique emblem. With the current pieces, there are a whopping 400,000+ possible combinations of Guild Emblems to create, not even including color options!

    Creating a Guild

    image.png

    Creating a guild can be done through the Guild menu by Gold & Silver Ninja. It costs 10,000 Ryo.

     

    Conclusion

    With this Nin Online is now complete faction-wise. You are born into the ninja world alone, but you choose a village to be born in, choose a clan (family) to be born as, join a corporation as an occupation and join or create your own guild, which is like your friend circle, and find teams to go on short-term missions with.

    We hope you enjoy this new feature!

    Improved Login/Quick Login
    Fixed issue where it was expiring tokens when you relogged in while your character is still in-game
    Now only applies 30 second PvP timer (stay in-game) when you logout with a PvP timer
    Sped up the process to logout if you have no PvP timer substantially.
    Added warning when logging out.

    Map Capturing System

    This is a major new gameplay mechanic!

    image.gif

    Capture Points on maps allow (up to 4) ninja to stand or fight within them to capture the map. Ninja of enemy villages can oppose by standing in any capture point on the same map to defend the map. Once a map is captured it provides a 1.25x Drop Rate bonus to ninja of that village.

    image.gif

    If a village map is captured, it will become a War Zone until it is reclaimed by it's original village.

    image.png

    Captured maps will glow the village color on the world map

    image.png

    Captured maps will show an Icon of the village beside the name of the village

    Other changes

    Repositioned Ninja menu expand character button so it doesn't clash with "Spend Mastery Point"
    Improved Mini-map Icon art

    Nin Online version 4.6.1 has been released with the following changes
    Resyncing Cash Shop Items is now threaded (optimized)
    Fixed a bug where cash items could no longer be claimed under rare circumstances if stashed
    Added live stats to Maps (similar to live stats for villages and tournaments)
    Map Name fade in/out now standardized across frame rates
    Improved styling for Player Info window (right-click player menu)

    image.png

    Features.png

    (Admin) Added better selectors for Item and Jutsu Icons

    Prettier UI for Inventory Expansion
    It also now opens the in-game cash shop instead of the website (less intrusive)

    (Backend) Variables/Switches can now be set to reset on login/logout

    (Backend) Events can now set variables to "scopes"
    For example, setting the player's team's variables, or everyone on the map the event is ran on.

    Election System

    This is another step towards a more automated and significant role in factions and politics in Nin Online. While it is a huge change, we hope that players will understand that these changes with the political systems will eventually facilitate a much better overall experience. We will further build upon this to make players able to control much more within the game's state by participating in these RP systems.

    Apply to run for council member
    Also able to see what other candidates are like before the voting begins. The application stage is set to 4 days at the moment, but we can increase this through our server settings at any time.

    image.png

    Manage your campaign slogan and appearance on the voting page
    Once the voting begins, you will no longer be able to update it!

    image.png

    Vote for your favorite candidate for council member
    Pick people who represent your ideals, support your causes and will choose the Kage you will be proud of.
    There will be 7 days (we can adjust this too, but only before an election starts) to vote and you can visit the voting station at any time.

    image.png

    Council members will then decide on the next Kage
    Council members will have 3 days to finalize their decision for Kage, they will manage it by accessing their Village RP Menu and putting in their pick for Kage.

    If there is a tie, nobody will be picked and the dateline for Kage selection is delayed a day (the Kage term is not extended).

    image.png

    image.png

    This system will roll out and replace all manual leadership systems for all villages, including Mist and Sand. We will no longer manually manage who leads each village. There will not be any different political systems per village (in the near future).

    Bugs.png

    Ninja Menu improvements to stats adding
    If you reset stats, it will immediately update without you re-opening the menu

    Stat Resets won't be consumed if it will take no effect
    If a stat reset is used when there are no stats to reset, it will not be consumed. To prevent accidentally resetting stats multiple times mostly.

    Fixed bug where Experience from Missions are not granted to you if you are fainted when it completes

  20. Transparency

    in Discussion

    Posted

    When you say transparency, you’re asking us to tell you want we’re working on at all times. When I told the community I was working on Advanced Masteries and then later changed priorities, I was harassed for years and mocked because no matter what hundred content and features were added, instead of celebration, it was met with “advanced when?”. I’ve learnt as a developer to just let players be happy when the thing is added and not hype things before they are done.

     

    Patreon was announced and close to nobody contributed. It wasn’t worth the time.

     

    The community doesn’t need to know what I’m working on. As far as everyone needs to know is that the game is being worked on and that shows based on how it’s been 10 years and I’m still pushing updates. I’m not one to promise anything and therefore encourage people to spend more money on the game. If they are happy with it how it is now, they should spend. If they aren’t, don’t.

    As a gamer myself, I don’t like preorders, one should not pay money on the promise of coming content. Pay when it’s there.

    Also, you say no communications, but there’s been spans of months where I’m constantly interacting with the community daily for months. But it’s tiring, I’m constantly mocked and harassed and spoken down to, there’s only so much one can take. You are hundreds of people, I am one person.

    Improvements to sorting of winners for tournament leaderboard
    It was previously only sorted by Tournament Wins. When it was a tie, it was sorting randomly. Now it's sorting by Tournament Wins and then secondarily, Match wins. I still want to prioritize Tournament Wins so as to not make smaller tournaments not worth much.

    Added an option to outright ban specific items and jutsu from tournaments
    Previously this was a pretty hacky conditional check to see if the item/jutsu belonged to a corp or had a high index. Now we can be more selective.

    World Map Feature rework (+ World Map Editor)
    I've reworked the World Map system completely. It's been one of last UI elements that needed a severe rework.
    New players will now have a much easier time locating quests and locations in general in the future.
    It comes with a fancy editor for us to make maps. It also supports maps for separate locations, the toad mountain area, indoor locations. etc.

    We're still working on the actual map though!

    (On the backend side) World maps are now our first list based data type instead of using fixed arrays.

    Tournaments Leaderboards Pages
    All players who participate in tournaments are now visible on the leaderboards, leaderboards are sorted into pages.

    Other changes
    Texture dictionaries now support subdirectories

    Toad Arc now has a proper map

    New version (v4.5.4) has been released with an update to the World Map
    After @Erox completed filling up the world map, I realized the world map really needed to be bigger. In order to encompass this, I've added dragging to large world maps. Also, Admins/GMs can now double click on the icons on maps to teleport to those locations.

    v4.5.5 has been released with another update to world maps
    World maps now have lines to show the direction of the linked maps, making it a lot clearer.

    Other changes
    Improved rain splash animation to not spawn in walls/blocked tiles
    Fixed mailbox item amounts rendering

    A hotfix for Bubble Clone Technique (Exploding NPCs) not triggering properly when attacked from downwards direction has been pushed live.

    Medcorp Jutsu Changes
    Name: Hundred Healings Mark > Hundred Healings Orb
    Description: A medical technique that allows the user to collect chakra and concentrates it into an Orb which amplifies the power of their techniques by 12%.
    Visual: changed from the purple aura to a blue orb that floats next to the player.

    Neo Akatsuki Changes
    Visual: Changed the Red Aura to the Purple Aura (It seems more menacing, also give me room to work on something else which is TBA).

    Kage Clothing
    General: The colored version of each set is now locked to the "Kage" Rank and of course the respective Village, this is so the active Kage can stand out among the crowd (Unless of course someone transforms into them)

    (Note: Due to the hierarchy in the class editor missing nin are still able to wear the colored versions of the kage clothing, theres nothing i can do to fix this.)

    The Ambassador: An NPC has shown up in Takumi seeking former leaders (Ex Kage), if you have the original Kage drip and still want to wear it you can get a version of the original from him. 
     

    Puppet Brigade Changes
    Member limit increased from 10 to 12

    Medcorp Jutsu Changes
    This isnt so much a change but a grammar fix, the jutsu has always been useable by Special Jonin but the text said "Must be Chunin or Higher to use", it has been changed to "Must be a Ranked Ninja to use" to avoid any confusion 

    Added 3 new Headband/Forehead Protector Styles!
    Backwards Bandana Protector (All Villages)
    Single Horned Forehead Protector (Mist)
    Double Horned Forehead Protector (Mist)

  24. Ninonline is now ours officially

    in Development Logs

    Posted

    Since 30 June 2023, as part of our leading up to our 10th Anniversary, we actually own ninonline.com!

    This comes after 10 years of negotiating with the company that was parking on the domain.

    The domain name used to belong to Nine-Inch Nails (Yes, the rock band) but was later bought by a company that was parking on the domain waiting for it to be bought. This is a common (though, technically illegal) practice done across the world.

    Nin Online has historically used ninonline.org not out of choice, but necessity, due to the .com being taken. .Org domains are supposed to be used for non-profit organizations, which doesn't fit what Nin Online is. Therefore, finally holding the .com (short for commercial) domain name makes more sense for us.

    After 10 years of negotiating, we finally got it to a point where they agreed to sell it at a reasonable price.

    While Nin Online doesn't need the domain name, it does do a little for our credibility to own our own domain name, and thus I decided to finally spend the still sizeable amount to take ownership of the name of our legacy online for real. The discussions have gotten pretty annoying (for both parties) but I'm glad it finally worked out.

    Just a mini win for Nin Online I wanted to talk about!
