I just started a fun (soon to be tactical) first-person ninja combat game. You can choose to stab with your weapons or throw them, and enemies can disarm you. There will be hand to hand combat, knives, throwing knives, katanas, throwing stars, kamas, and chains.
The whole point is to make an open, dynamic, and most importantly, fun-to-play melee combat game.

I’m brand new to 2.6 and so far I really hate it, but it’s going well thankfully…
If you could turn this into a multiplayer web game, then increase the count to like 50 players all who can only carry one knife, the fight scene would be insane!
Also loving the music choice
Ok this is my third play view for just the music alone, could you please tell us what you used?
Very interesting. I would recommend that you add the ability to turn off the blood and gore for those who prefer not to have it. Also, the weapon’s held kind of awkwardly (in the center of the screen) - seems like it’d be better to be held on the right of the screen. Of course, I’m sure you have a reason to have it in the center.
While SolarLune is definitely right with giving the Option of Turning off the Violence being a good Idea, I also think that the strong Contrast between the »cute« Pixelgraphics and the exaggerated Violence definitely is a strong Part of the Style… »graphical Style«. ; )
I would not be able to do that, but that would be really fun.
Yeah, the weapons will be held by hand in a later update, only reason it’s in the center now is because I had no hand. I don’t think I will make an option to turn off the blood because I enjoy it myself. I could possibly make an option though to turn it down slightly, but I will not give an option to rid it completely.
exactly There will be different deaths not as intense as the one shown, but it’s easier to start at the most graphic and work down.
Anyone else who is interested in the music used, check out Fantomenk here:
You’re progressing fast like the Light! ^^
Great Additions! The Smoke Bomb looks somehow fascinating, visually – it reminds me of the Smoke Trails in Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner… just more 8-bitty.
Wow, this game looks amazing, you’ve progressed so fast too! It’s very gory but I’m not saying thats a bad thing! I really wanna play, it looks like you’ve done everything you need already (programming-wise). Keep it up!
It s looking cool, but I was thinking, its weird to sneak on the back of the enemy while he is looking at you, you could add a back view of the enemy, well its my oppinion, other than that is looking nice.
leonnn, you are right, and it is not just Opinion but a Fact that it looks weird. A Back View would be very adequate, but first an Enemy should only face the Player if triggered (by Distance/Near/Radar).
this is sooo cool! and quick development also i would recommend that when you punch the enemies that when they die they instead like fall over instead of exploding and maybe when they get hit by the knife they bleed and fall over this way you still get the gory type feel but not so overwhelming. and also i multiplayer support would be awesome with this.
i really like how you can throw knifes but ya i could imagine an all out 10 vs 10 melee fight or 4 player co-op or something.
