[NEW FACTION: The Hidden Sand Village]

In the heart of a boundless desert, beneath the searing sun, an elite squadron of ebony-garbed ninjas strides forward, their umbrellas shielding them from the unforgiving elements. A recent alliance has been forged between the enigmatic Lord Amekage and a clandestine organization known only as the Hawks' Eye. Purporting to represent the elusive Kazekage, the group's true motives remain shrouded in mystery, as every soul who has ventured into this desolate expanse has vanished without a trace.

Amidst the swirling desert sands, a figure donning a gas mask utters a solemn sentiment, "I hope... this will turn the tide in this war." As the winds continue to rise, the ninjas press on through the treacherous terrain of the Land of Wind, determined to uncover the truth and bring victory to their cause.
 

 

ANNOUNCING NEW PLAYABLE FACTION

The Hidden Sand Village  -  Nestled amidst the sweeping dunes of the Land of Wind, the Hidden Sand Village stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of its inhabitants. This enigmatic settlement, veiled by both its natural surroundings and its inhabitants' mastery of stealth, serves as a hub for the most skilled and cunning shinobi. The village's labyrinthine streets are lined with sunbaked adobe buildings, providing shelter from the relentless desert climate. The Hidden Sand Village is governed by the wise and enigmatic Kazekage, who leads with a steady hand and a keen understanding of the harsh world that surrounds them. In this bastion of secrecy, the villagers forge powerful bonds and hone their unique ninjutsu techniques, ever vigilant and prepared to defend their home against any who dare to challenge their might.

AN OPPERTUNISTIC ALLIANCE

In an unprecedented turn of events, the Hidden Sand and Hidden Rain Villages have forged a formidable military alliance, merging their unique strengths and mastery of subterfuge to create a powerful new playable faction. As tensions rise, this newly formed coalition prepares to engage in a conflict with the Leaf Village. Players will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the strategic intricacies and fierce battles that arise from this alliance, as the combined forces of the Hidden Sand and Hidden Rain strive to challenge the Leaf Village's supremacy. The stark contrast of the arid desert and the perpetual downpour that defines the two villages adds a layer of depth and complexity to the gameplay, as players navigate both the physical and political landscapes of a world on the brink of war.

 

The alliance between the Hidden Sand and Hidden Rain Villages offers players new gameplay opportunities, as they can now level up and complete quests in each other's territories. The Blackwind Pass, a valley connecting the two villages, serves as the key link between these distinct landscapes. With the addition of the Pass, the game map effectively doubles in size, providing players with diverse environments and challenges to explore.

As players journey through the arid desert, the relentless rain, and the treacherous Black Wind Pass, they will encounter unique challenges and rewards in each location. This expansion of playable territory encourages collaboration between the two factions and enhances the overall gaming experience, strengthening their united front against the Leaf Village.

The Blackwind Pass, the guarded border which connects the Land of Wind to Land of Rain

 

NEW WAR-TORN LAND

The Land of Rivers  -  a region shrouded in mystery and intrigue, is controlled by a powerful and ruthless crime organization. Its strategic location, where the territories of the Hidden Sand, Hidden Rain, and Leaf Villages converge, makes it the ultimate battleground for these three great lands. As tensions escalate, the Land of Rivers transforms into a theater of war, with each faction vying for supremacy over the resource-rich region. The crime organization's influence casts a sinister shadow over the conflict, adding an element of danger and uncertainty to every encounter. Players must navigate this treacherous terrain, balancing the art of diplomacy with the ever-present threat of betrayal, as they engage in epic battles and forge uneasy alliances to secure victory for their respective factions.

[Shinobi Story Beta Announcement!]

 

Ninja,

It is with great excitement that we announce a new era of updates coming to our beloved game. We have been listening closely to your feedback and are thrilled to unveil a series of new features that will take gameplay to the next level. From stunning new Jutsu to new stories with a fresh cast of characters, this update promises to deliver an even more immersive and captivating gaming experience based on a deep love for the Ninja World as our game’s theme.

Reading your feedback over the months has led us to make the decision to stop chasing monthly updates and focus on fixing and remastering core issues with the very fundamentals of the game. Rather than constant bandaid fixes which lead to further issues, we believe that it is time to redefine what Shinobi Story is as a game and to maximize the fun and gameplay richness that we know we are able to achieve.

The transition of Shinobi Story from alpha to beta represents a major milestone in our journey to create a game that is both immersive and exciting, offering you, our beloved players, a fresh new take on the ninja world that you know and love. We are humbled to have you as our partners in this journey, and together, with your feedback, testing, and community presence, we will be able to create the most content-rich ninja game possible.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Shinobi Story. We can't wait for you to experience what we have in store for you in the upcoming beta release.

 

 

 

 

NEW MASTERY TALENT TREES
We are pleased to announce that Shinobi Story will feature a new Talent Tree System that is set to revolutionize the way players approach their favorite masteries. Taking inspiration from recent successes in the gaming scene, we have recreated our Mastery system to be deeper, richer, and more customizable, offering new ways to make your ninja truly unique to you!

 

Uchiha Clan Mastery Talent Tree

 

Weapon Techniques Mastery Talent Tree (Right Side: Human Self Puppetry Tank Build)

 

Lightning Ninjutsu Mastery Talent Tree (Right Side: Raikage Lightning Cloak Tank Build)

 

Medical Ninjutsu Mastery Talent Tree

 

Aburame Clan Mastery Talent Tree - Neox's Choice for winning!

 

Players will be able to reset within their Mastery with Koban, allowing players to try out different builds and points combinations without having to buy a scroll; but switching masteries will still require a Reset Scroll

 

With our new Talent Tree System, you will be able to fully spec into a single mastery if you choose, creating builds not seen before such as Full Uchiha, Full Medical, and many more. By removing previous restrictions, players will be able to delve into theorycrafting and explore endless possibilities to tailor their playstyle to their liking. With this new system, we are confident that players will have a more immersive and exciting experience than ever before.

 

 

NEW MASTERIES & REDESIGNS

Announcing a range of new masteries and redesigns for Shinobi Story. The new masteries include the Aburame Clan, which offers both Ranged DPS and Melee DPS specializations, and Weapons Techniques/Puppets, which features Ten-Ten Style Weapons Techniques, Puppetry Pet Spec, and Human Puppetry Tank Spec.

We are also excited to introduce the Magnet Combination Mastery, inspired by Gaara's Sand Tank, which offers Iron Sand Ranged DPS. Additionally, the Spiritualism mastery includes Jashinism Melee DPS/Tank Hybrid and Holy Monk Melee DPS/Support Hybrid specializations.

In addition to these new masteries, we will also be designing new ones such as Inuzuka, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Nara, Kaguya, Namizake, and Explosion to offer a more engaging and immersive gameplay experience for our players. These updates represent a significant step forward for the game, promising to deliver exciting new opportunities for players to do battle like never before!

A few examples...

 Fire Style: Phoenix Flare Punch

 Fire Style: Fire Fist Technique

 Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu

 Water Style: Life Currents Jutsu

 Fan Style: Wind Slicing Barrage

 Wind Style: Tornado Fists Technique

 

REMASTERED WORLD & VILLAGE

In collaboration with an additional world designer, we will be undertaking a major overhaul of our maps. Our goal is to bring our game world to a much higher level of quality by adding depth, replacing lower quality models, and injecting new content zones throughout the world. With this new attention to detail, we aim to create a more immersive and full-bodied gaming experience that will leave players truly immersed in the Ninja World!

We are delighted to announce that we will be releasing two new lands in our game world, along with a revamped Hidden Leaf Village. The new version of the village will be free of lag, feature unique districts for each major clan, offer numerous RP spots, building interiors, and boast a completely new layout. In addition, we will be introducing a Major Hidden Village that will be a playable faction, which will bring the total number of Hidden Villages to three. This new addition will elevate roleplay customization and PvP balance, allowing players to explore and adventure in a game world that is richer and more rewarding than ever before. 

 

FACTION SYSTEM OVERHAUL
We are thrilled to announce that Shinobi Story will be featuring two new Hidden Villages as playable factions, offering players a fresh new take on the ninja world. In addition, we are redesigning our Faction system to be more semi-serious, providing players with the freedom to switch factions depending on the story they want to tell, and the ever-changing goals they have.

With this new system, players will be able to join factions that fit their playstyle and create alliances that are meaningful and engaging. As part of this redesign, we are also removing "Rogue" as a solid faction and instead turning them into criminals who are hated by all. After their sentence, they will be able to repent and join a different Hidden Village faction, creating a sense of redemption and a deeper level of player engagement.

These changes to our Faction system promise to bring a new level of excitement and immersion to our game world, in addition to faction-specific cosmetics and faction-tied stat boosts to promote a sense of loyalty to villages for those who stick to their choices!  With greater flexibility and more meaningful player choices, players will have many options of play… and players may even see the return of Player Kages with a completely automated system inside of the faction!

 

NEW PROGRESSION SYSTEM
We would like to unveil a complete overhaul of the progression system in Shinobi Story, designed to take the game to a more streamlined design. Our team is working to remove the old, confusing, and multi-layered system that has frustrated many early-level players, replacing it with a new Main Storyline that will take players from level 1-60 in a immersive way. With no need for mindless grinding, players will be able to progress at their own pace, enjoying a seamless and engaging experience.

But that's not all - we are also removing the tedious daily grind for Chuunin and Jonin ranks, instead allowing players to progress by exploring the ninja world, completing missions, and engaging with the game's many exciting features. This new progression system is designed to provide players with a sense of purpose and accomplishment, while freeing them from the monotony of repetitive tasks and sending them on their way to the end-game content! 

Our goal is to deepen the in-game lore and story aspect of Shinobi Story, and delivering it through more thought-out questlines as well as introduce new voice acted quests to truly impress the players with our new development skill!

 

PLAYER HOUSING
Introducing a new feature to Shinobi Story: Player Housing. Our goal is to create several Housing Districts throughout the game world that will feature Torii Gate portals, providing players with their own instanced land that is appropriately themed to the district they own a house in. For example, a District in the Land of Fire will have grass, trees, and a skybox as the surroundings, while a Rain Housing District will resemble that zone.

With this new feature, players will be able to fully customize their land as they see fit, with the freedom to build whatever they desire. From player farms and restaurants to art projects and recreations of villages, the possibilities for creative expression are limitless. This feature is set to be an exciting addition to the game, promising to bring a new level of player engagement and creativity to Shinobi Story.

RAIDS & DUNGEONS
We have been wanting to introduce Raids and Dungeons for a long time now, and some of our new concepts are: The Tomb of Jashin & The Underground Laboratory which promise to tell unique stories, and offer many challenging bosses to defeat with your squads! We are also interested in introducing a Mythic Plus (M+) style system for dungeons which will scale enemies to be much harder, but also reward better loot - both dungeons and raids will have a high score system to truly distinguish which squads are the most elite! 

NEW UI REMASTER
With the release of the Shinobi Story Beta, we are excited to unveil a fresh new look for the player's layout and view, one that strikes a balance between modernity and original design charm. We have worked to deliver changes that immediately stand out, starting with the more prominent minimap (that works) and health bar, providing players with greater viewable space.

New User Interface in Shinobi Story's upcoming Beta Release

 

We have removed unnecessary clutter and streamlined the layout to create a more intuitive and user-friendly experience. Additionally, while staying true to the game's iconic design, we have refreshed the appearance of the Action Bar, giving it a clean and polished look.

Elite mobs will be shown with a gold portrait frame & a Elite symbol 

 

These changes represent a significant step forward for the game, improving the overall quality and enhancing the player's experience. We can't wait for players to experience the updated layout and view firsthand, as we believe it will elevate the game to a new level of visual appeal and functionality.

 

MAP & MINIMAP
We understand that navigating the vast and intricate world of Shinobi Story can be a daunting task for both new and veteran players. That's why, with the release of the Beta, we are excited to announce that we will be providing a full map and minimap to assist players in their travels.

This update is aimed at providing players with a more immersive and intuitive experience, making it easier to understand where they are in relation to where they want to go. With the addition of these new tools, players will be able to navigate the game world with greater ease, improving the overall quality of their gameplay experience.

Whether you're a new player just starting out or a seasoned veteran, these changes are sure to enhance your journey through the world of Shinobi Story. Get ready to explore the game world like never before!

 

Additional Bulletpoints We're Developing..

• Introducing a vast array of new cosmetics to help players truly personalize their characters and make them stand out in the ninja world.
• Exploration & Puzzle solving open world main progression system
• Huge focus being placed on open world exploration & interaction with the world in unique ways to utilize unique masteries
• New battlegrounds, offering exciting new ways for players to test their skills against one another in thrilling and competitive combat.
• A range of new evergreen content that is always relevant, giving players fresh challenges and experiences that they can enjoy at any time.

• Professions overhaul - offering deeper levels of crafting for each profession as well as a couple new ones, including unique and rare recipes, formulas, and blueprints to truly make a name for yourself as a legendary crafter!
• Organization/Guild leveling perks so groups can work together to unlock organization-exclusive rewards!

• All masteries will be played similar to WoW classes in a sense that there will always be buttons to press and very low (if any) downtime! 
• New Energy mechanic, doing away with movement charges! This will allow ninja to use movement abilities that cost energy rather than charges. This will allow us to explore mechanics and talents based around energy consumption & generation!
• Vastly improved tutorial and early game to increase early player retention.
• Greatly reducing Download size to 7-10 GB roughly to increase downloads/cut back on waste and bloat
• Completely remade new player experience to keep new players engaged enough to be able to have fun straight away!

 

 

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our players who have taken part in the alpha journey thus far. It has been an incredible ride, from the game's humble beginnings to the robust and immersive world it has become today.

As we transition to the Beta phase of development, we are excited to embark on a new chapter in the game's evolution. We understand that this will not be an easy or quick process, but with the support and feedback of our community, we are confident that we can create the most unique and content-rich ninja game ever made.

We deeply appreciate your patience and assistance as we undertake this overhaul, and we look forward to working with you to create a game that truly captures the spirit and excitement of the Ninja World unlike any other game.

“Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise.”

 

 

With Gratitude,

[First Leaf Village Council General Elections]

All those who wish to run for office of Leaf Village Council, please reply with your player's name. 

You must be: Chuunin or Jonin

And able to enter the Leaf Village without being attacked by guards

 

Edit:  For all of those Leaf-affiliates who are "rogues" due to PvP, we will be resetting your reputation before the vote. The only people we will not reset are: rogues,  non-leaf affiliates, or "unaffiliated" members

[Village Leadership Structure]

Ninja,

This is the new Ninja World government structure for each village, as well as rules, regulations, and customs they must follow.

ALL Village leaders are representatives of the game, and must act with that in mind. Recently, we have failed to establish proper rules and procedures for these positions, and so effective immediately these are in place. If the Village Leaders choose to act in a way which would hinder Shinobi Story's growth, I reserve full ability to remove and sanction that player(s). 

 

<The Hidden X Village> Organization organization will be given to the new Village Leaders, and ONLY official members of the government listed in this post will be permitted to join, acting as a form of official verification so players know if they are interacting with a real village leader. This is to give the chance for many different types of organizations to form in their respective villages, and be able to have your squad name or personal organization be your Org Name.

 

 

 

 

Village Leader: Hokage

The Hokage is the village head of the Leaf Village, and is aided by 5 Councilmembers. He or she has the ability to approve or veto laws set by the Leaf Council, and acts as the figurehead for the village in times of peace and times of war. The Hokage cannot pass laws independently from the Leaf Council, and the Council must have the Hokage's approval for any new laws.

Each of the Hokage's terms is 6 months, and each is limited to 3 terms maximum (18 months) which may only be served consecutively to avoid confusion/weird lore. 

The Hokage can be impeached, but not in the first 30 days of holding office. 

* As the highest ranking member of the Village's army, the Hokage may declare war without the approval of the Leaf Council

The Hokage will retain the exclusive and sole power to: Assign and dismiss ANBU members, and assign or dismiss Jonin Team Captains as he or she sees fit. 

The Hokage is able to appoint the following positions: Hokage's Assistant, Leaf Police Captain, Chief Medical Ninja, Academy Headmaster

 

Legislative: The Leaf Council

The Leaf Council's term runs parallel to the Hokage's, meaning that each Councilmember has a term of 6 months (excluding upcoming election, which will serve out the remaining term of the 2nd Hokage's first term.) 

They Council has the authority to elect the Hokage, alongside the Feudal Lord's Ministers. The Leaf Council cannot be impeached, unless directly dismissed from office by the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire. 

Every 6 months (except for upcoming election) a new direct-vote will be held in the Leaf Village town square, and all citizens who are: able to enter the village, and have at least Chuunin Rank are entitled to 1 vote. Any roleplay status is null for the duration of the election. If the player is able to enter the guarded voting station, and is at least of the Chuunin rank, then they are entitled to 1 vote, regardless of any assigned roleplay status. The citizens will directly vote for each councilmember running for office at a designated time. 

The top 5 voted candidates will be elected into office, and subsequently join 5 of the Feudal Lord's Ministers to form a 10-member electing committee, which will decide who the next Hokage will be. 

If a Hokage is elected from the pool of 5 Councilmembers, then the vacancy will be filled by whoever gathered the 6th largest amount of votes.

The Leaf Council has the authority to impeach the Hokage by calling a referendum popular vote of no-confidence, but only with the permission of the Feudal Lord.

 

 

 

Village Leader: Supreme Leader

The Rain Village is ruled with an iron fist by the Supreme Leader, and the Black Cloud paramilitary intelligence agency. The Supreme Leader position is held for a period of 6 months each term. The position is voted on with a direct-vote election by all Chuunin or higher Rain Ninja, who are able to enter a heavily protected area to cast a vote. 

The Supreme Leader is is limited to 3 terms maximum (18 months) and must be served consecutively. 

The Supreme Leader has the authority to appoint the Lord of the Black Cloud, which acts as an internal secret police organization to enforce his or her will. 

The Supreme Leader cannot be impeached, unless defeated in a Civil War*

The Supreme Leader is able to appoint and dismiss Village ANBU

 

Legislative: The Rain Council

The Rain Council's term runs parallel to the Supreme Leader's, meaning that each Councilmember has a term of 6 months.

They have the direct authority to oversee the training and conscription of new recruits or refugees. The Rain Council is the only organization able to pass laws, but all laws must be sanctioned by the Supreme Leader. 

The Rain Council is unable to govern or hold any authority over the Black Cloud internal police.

[Shinobi Story in Q4 2022]

Ninja, 

It is with great privilege that I write to you today. I wanted to share a few things with the community in regards to upcoming updates and our direction as a game. So marking the end of our first year being live, we have taken up the task of looking at ourselves in the mirror and making some gameplay decisions that come out of a year of learning and observing the players. We're grown so, so much in the last 12 months, and we intend to keep going with constant changes and an ever-growing game! 
 

Please answer the survey questions here!
A random voter will get 20 [Reverse Summoning Scrolls] 

With that, i'd like to first mention some upcoming features in the coming months..

 

 

New Village: Hidden Rain Village

To anyone who has been paying attentrion, it is clear the Hidden Rain Village's release is approaching- with most of the mapping already done (check our Youtube Channel to see more!) which paves the way for content, systems, and cosmetics to start being designed for this village. We have even begun adding changes to the player model to bring forward a more updated and higher quality player customization experience! 

This village will be selectable when first creating a character, but you will also have the option to defect to any opposing village (and vice versa). This will allow us to technically be at 3 factions - Leaf, Rogue, and Rain, giving us a nice spread to explore what direction we wish to expand the lands into, but it will also put us at 3 lands being unlocked so far: Fire, Waves, and soon Rain! 


 

New Masteries

Masteries are one of the ways we can keep the game fresher feeling - when we add new playstyles and counterplay for everyone to learn, but also to flesh out the world more and give players all the tools to make a truly custom ninja, especially since now we have branching masteries! The next two masteries that will be released in the upcoming patch will be Ice Style Ninjutsu, and Lava Style Ninjutsu! Our intent is to add more and more, until we eventually have almost everything, and once we have made almost absolutely all types of jutsu from the original material, we will begin to develop masteries we crafted ourselves! 

Also, summoning! 

 

Player Housing

Have you ever met a player who hated player housing? I haven't - and this is perhaps a feature I am most excited about!  Players will be able to buy an instanced plot of land (which changes depending on where your house is located at, similar to OSRS), and start building! We want all the tools to be there for players to create houses, towns, cities, organization towns, organization bases, restaurants, roleplaying scenes, private meeting spaces, and even random works of art - the choice will be fully yours! 

You will be able to pick which of your friends can co-build, who can enter, and even who is blocked from your house; I think this will unlock the game's potential even further.. stay tuned! 

Please answer the survey questions here!
A random voter will get 20 [Reverse Summoning Scrolls] 

Our goals for this game stretch far, and we are doing great with the team of our size - we're in it for the long run!

We're going to be a splendid game!

To enhance playability and to offer more exciting combos players can choose from, we have introduced Hybrid Scaling which means the ability will scale equally off of Attack Power and Jutsu Power, meaning these abilities will be viable for you regardless of which stat is your main type!  See examples below

Wind Style Ninjutsu

We tried something new with Wind at the start- but unfortunately (or fortunately, that is)Wind just was in a bad spot, relegated to a meme mastery. our goal here at Shinobi Story is to make sure every mastery fulfils a purpose, is competitive, and feels good to play.
