Ninja Forever

[Kon-Tiki]

Ok, this's where that discussion from the SCI-board continues.
For those who can't follow:
I'm making another AGI-game besides Little Pirate (just so I wouldn't grow tired of doing the same thing for months) It's about a ninja who's going on missions from his trainer/boss-thingy. I want it to have some fighting-sequences like FF (and a custom weapon-making feature ), interactive flashbacks to his training/childhood/etc, sneak-command, light/shadow-sensitiveness, etc. While doing the missions, he slowly but surely get clues to a complot, which he'll have to solve at the end of the game.

What I've done so far:
*Title screen (with full animation and sound)
*Ego-view
*Story in big lines

What I need to do:
*Make the game
*Find information (like name, ninja-background, etc)

The information is so I wouldn't make the ninja have flashbacks to when he's 8 and eating dinner with his grandmother, while ninja's're training when they're 8 (for example, really don't know that). Basically, it should be more or less correct without being educative.

Sounds like this could be a Very interesting game. Very uniqe gameplay/story.

I suggest you locate some "ninja-related-websites" and from there learn about the ninja's history and background.

here's a link (don't know how usefull it is...)  http://www.winjutsu.com/ninjakids/nk_stories.html

Good luck and please keep us posted about the project!

Sounds like a very interesting game. I like those new kind of ideas, same thing with Little Pirate. Maybe I'll make a game that is located in Rome, year 14. It could be a quite lot of fun^^I study latin and history of rome and that would be a great help. Anyways, nice idea, me delectat, hope to see some screenshots soon.

A Ninja-link that is of no use to you at all:
http://www.realultimatepower.net/ (Don't forget to click on seppuku)

A link that might be more useful, especially because there is a game making competition (your game will have to be about Ninjai though):
http://www.ninjai.com/index.html (really awsome flash movies!!! Check chapter 1 for a really kewl ninja-weapon!)
Contest: http://ww1.ninjai.com/support/games.php
Check the message board for some interesting stuff about ninja's.

You'll find this rather informative too:

This should be a very interesting thread, especially if you're going to situate the game in the past. Veel leesplezier!

realultimatepower.net is hallarious! You can learn alot from that website.

[Lord Hart]

You should check out the American Ninja movies (1 & 2). You will not learn a single thing from then, its just that they are cool!

The idea is great, now all we have to do is wait half a year to see some of it  .  The best part will be giving your ego a ridiculously stereotypical name. I suggest Haizutu, Mugatu, Kisaki, Rafiki, Yakamoto, etc.   Good luck on it, can't wait

Wasn't Rafiki the baboon from the Lion King?

[Kon-Tiki]

Hmmm, Rafiki... I like that for some mysterious reason
One name's been set: Omochi.
Btw: Look out for screenshots tomorrow or the day after that (I'm studying far less than I should , but it gives more time for making the rooms )

Omochi? That's a japanese term designating a rice cake.

Yeah, but this will be one deadly rice cake.
