It's been a stressful 48-hours since the launch of Nin Online's Movement Unlocked Update, one of the most fundamental features of Nin Online, movement having been reworked from the ground up from a grid-based system to a pixel movement system, providing complete freedom to the movement system.We apologize for the rocky start, as we've tried our best to prevent as many bugs as possible by releasing a test server a week prior. Unfortunately, many bugs slipped through the cracks as they are only found when players play the game through all it's edge cases. As such, we've been working around the c

Movement & Combat UnlockedNin Online's movement system has been rebuilt around pixel movement, giving you finer control over where you move and stop.

I hope for your understa

We're following up the Land of Spirits update with another big update. This update contains large amounts of new content, fixes and features. We hope you enjoy!Over the last couple of months, I've been delegating a lot more work and creating pipelines for the rest of the development team to be able to push updates independently of me (Ueda). This is taking awhile to get working perfectly, but it allows our developers to push content updates faster, but part of this change means less frequent but larger code updates.In our first year on Steam, we were pushing out code updates almost every day,
