Oh, right! Well our first 5 locations are planned to be located within Japan. But we would likely expand future levels to cover major cities throughout the world. NY, Paris, Moscow, The Great Wall, etc. would all be likely locations as we expand the level load. Right now, financially, we really could only afford a limited number. But thankfully the game can easily be expanded to have more after the fact. We do not intend to make those IAP's unless it really takes off and we can afford to make a reasonable level package (like 10+ in a single purchase) Another thing we'd like to consider are making 3 or so additional players you can use IAP to play as, like his Sous Chef.
Alright. My recommendation for IAP is to release 1 or 2 additional levels as an updates besides the IAPs.
Thank you for the recommendation iSky! To be honest, right now our focus is just to get the game build and out there! Once it is though, we're definitely going to be having a conversation, both internally and with the community at large, about how best to bundle or make available additional levels and playable characters. Most likely those that will be for purchase will be packaged into larger groups, and there will be a certain number that will given away for free as part of updates. We've been impressed with how games like 100 Rogues and Plants vs Zombies have opted to give away large amounts of improvements and expansion of gameplay for free to users.
New Vs. Artwork Some new artwork from the game shows off the bosses and ninjas of levels 1-3! We hope you enjoy. Also, if you've been enjoying please do considering visiting our Kickstarter. It's our last 24hrs so any help at all would be more than helpful!
Last Day for Pledges! We're in our last day looking for pledge for Legend of Fat Ninja, and we're under the $2,500 left to go mark! If you've been enjoying looking at Legend of Fat Ninja so far, please consider pledging at least $3. You'll get the app for free on your choice of device when it comes out, so it's a win/win! We'll also throw more Level 4 artwork up here in just a few hours.
More Level 4 Work in Progress! More Artwork from Level 4 as we continue to complete the design of it, we hope you enjoy!
We did it! Just wanted to let everyone know that we did it, Legend of Fat Ninja's Kickstarter has been fully funded in the last hour or so. Thank you very much to the community for your support, and we look forward to sharing more resources with you here on the forums so you can see this game as it continues through to the end! Best, Team Fat Ninja
Guys, I just read about Fat Ninja and, wow, I'm sure it will look REALLY nice. I'm glad your game will be funded and I'm looking forward to playing it! let us know if you have any news about this project, I'm definitely loving its artwork. best of luck to Fat Ninja Team!
Toy Store! Thank you very much Bianca, and best of luck on your upcoming Toy Store project as well! Definitely a unique and fun looking art style to your project. We'll probably post a bit more artwork and level items in the next few days. Right now the team is decompressing a little bit after our past 72 hr fundraising and design drive!
Thank you iSky! We're really excited to be expanding the game a bit, getting in some new levels and making the other platform happen. Will keep up the posts on art and such though so you guys see how it comes together! The Fat Ninja Team
Level 4 Complete We just sent out all of our Kickstarter/Pledge surveys, and we've moved forward with the level design! Level 4 is now complete (see the attached to see how the final level design looks) and we're moving on to designing levels 5, 6, and a secret hidden level within the game. Have a great weekend everyone! The Fat Ninja Team
Level 5 Work in Progress Here are some great samples from our work on Level 5! I'm also going to edit the first post a bit to put up some of this great artwork so people can see it from the outset.
Level 5 All Wrapped up! Here is the remaining work in progress shots of Edo's Graveyard, run by head chef Nobunaga. His undead ninja hordes will challenge the Fat Ninja in his quest for the world's greatest foods!
Level 6, and Previews! Hello every one! So we'd like to share some work in progress artwork from level 6, as well as reach out to those of you have been enjoying our updates! What are some of your favorite review/preview sites for iOS/Casual Games? We are planning on giving Preview/Beta access to a half dozen reviewer websites. So let us know what your favorite site is, so we reach out to those you think do some excellent writing! Back to the art! Level 6 is a treetops level which will feature the Fat Ninja actually starting in the middle of the level. There will be more fliers in this level, as pedestrians will be limited to smaller walking areas and platforms. Next post we'll get more into the boss and theme of the level. We look forward to your feedback!
Characters and Objects Just thought we'd share some new character and object art from levels 5 and 6 (accidentally labeled 3A) The level 6 art is clearly a bit Harvey Birdman inspired, so we hope you enjoy!
Wow, this game looks great! I really love the artwork. When's the approximate release date do you know?
Tentative Launch Date Hi all! Great question. Right now our target for launch is September 27th. We expect to submit the app to the store during the first week of September to give us some time to deal with Apple issues, should they come up, as well as to give reviewers/websites time to play the game and get their thoughts/writeups done for launch. We're actually sending out access to a few publications this week to our internal beta build, so they can get a chance to play and perhaps gives folks a heads up about the game in the next few weeks. Thank you for the compliment, and we look forward to sharing more with you guys! The Fat Ninja Team
How to Play / Story Hi folks! Just a few samples from Legend of Fat Ninja's Story and How to Play sections. It's all coming together, we're only a week to two weeks away from wrapping up for submission! Best, The Fat Ninja Team
