This update comes as I take a break from working on the planned major content expansion to work on important code updates that make running Nin Online as a live service smoother as well as important new features and bug fixes.

I\'m also back from a break that I have to take yearly as I have to return to my country to serve in the military for a few weeks each year! So expect more regular updates again.

Replaced AI Generated animations in Introduction video in line with player feedback

In line with player feedback, I\'ve reworked the introduction video of Nin Online to one that does not contain AI-generated animation/artwork, and I do believe that this is for the better of the game and keeps the spirit of Nin Online more intact as it utilizes the original introduction graphics that artist Daikai did in 2018.

Thank you for your feedback!

Features

• New Fishing Mini-game

  We\'ve redesigned the fishing mini-game to one that requires a little more skill, it\'s inspired by the famous Stardew Valley Fishing mechanic, which is personally my favorite fishing minigame of all time.

Changes
