Ninja Town / Yokai Survivor - January 2025 update
25 days ago – Sun, Jan 05, 2025 at 04:26:34 AM

Hi all!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas break!

Plenty of progress has been happening since the last update and the game has slowly morphed into something new and different. I have made the decisions a little while back to change direction for the game based on a lot of feedback, and it has turned into a bullet-hell / survivor game based around the same world and themes.

I understand everyone supported the project based on the original game pitch, so if anyone would like a refund, I will sort this out over the next few months. Please just reach out to me directly at [email protected].

If you're happy to still support the project as is, then thank you. Anyone with the higher tier pledges, and still want to support, happy to work with you on contributing other design elements to the game.

I'm aiming for a March for the first Early Access build, which will include the following:
  • One world
  • 2 different starting classes 
  • 6 different weapons
  • 10 enemies
  • 2 optional quests
  • 6 different upgrade types

The goal will be to release additional worlds, weapons, enemies over the course of this year and as we get close to version 1.0. The PS5 port will be up next.


There will be unique classes to start each run. Each run will be unique in world layout, with optional side quests to complete.




Work in progress perma upgrade screen, which will be accessible from the main title screen.


You'll get to pick an upgrade after each level up during gameplay. These will be temporary.


Checking the player and current game stats whilst in game.


Many thanks,
Khuong

Ninja Town - November Update
3 months ago – Tue, Nov 05, 2024 at 04:37:34 AM

Hi all,

Its been a little while since the last update and a lot has happened since.
For starters we had the Steam Next Fest demo and plenty of feedback from it. One of the major feedback I wanted to address and flesh out more is the combat mechanics. I have been experimenting a bit more with a simple automated approach (survivor/bullet-hell) and I think its coming together nicely. I've updated a video of it in action, check it out below and please ignore the enemies not attacking for the mean time :)





Hopefully I'll have more to show in the coming weeks, until then, happy gaming!

Many thanks,
Khuong

Ninja Town - October Update
4 months ago – Mon, Sep 23, 2024 at 05:45:48 AM

Hi all,

An early update for the upcoming month of October and it will be a somewhat short update. The demo build has been approved on Steam, and is ready for the Steam Next Fest in October, however as promised in the last update, any of the backers will get a early peek into it!

I have just sent out the Ninja Town pre release demo key to everyone. Please check your spam folder if you haven't received it yet. Have a play when you get a chance, and happy for you to send some feedback through :)

For the next few weeks I'll be working on any feedback received from Steam Next Fest, the game may change course depending on feedback and then continue building out the rest of the game from there towards Early Access.

Many thanks,
Khuong

Ninja Town - September Update
5 months ago – Mon, Sep 02, 2024 at 04:04:20 AM

Hello again everyone!

Plenty of progress has been made this past month towards the demo build albeit a few health issues. The demo will be include the first few quests in the game, introducing the player to movement, NPC interactions, farming, stealth and combat! There will be a secret ninjutsu ability to be found thrown in for good measures!

I'm currently working on fine tuning the demo and even though it is based on a super early build of the game, it will give you a taste of whats to come for Early Access in Q1 2025. For the backers of this project, I will look to send out access keys to the demo build in the coming weeks, so stay tune!

Below are some screen shots of the current demo build.








Many thanks,
Khuong

Ninja Town - Huge August Update!
6 months ago – Wed, Jul 31, 2024 at 07:02:18 AM

Hello!

Time of the month for another Ninja Town update!

Its a big update this month as I have been busy getting a demo build of the game ready for Steam's Next Fest in October! I have revamped Fire Town from the ground up, adjusted the layout and visuals, there are still more work in progress items around and will probably take some time to get "right" but thats part of the fun of doing an early access game.

Please check out the latest video below that I've just uploaded to Youtube. In the video I explore and jump around Fire Town and the surrounding forest area. The NPCs and enemies don't do anything in the video but I should have a basic quest up and running by the end of August. Hopefully you'll enjoy the video and be sure to leave a comment here or on Youtube :)



Many thanks,
Khuong
