Starting a New Project! (codename: Little Ninja)

Hi everyone!

As you probably noticed, Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles for Dreamcast was released early this month, so we decided to start a new simple platform-adventure game, codename: Little Ninja!

Since Wind and Water was a very extensive and ambitious project, we want to keep this one simple. We’re mostly focusing on engine development, programming, scripting, as well as graphical issues that need to be resolved. Little Ninja may become the stage for our new big platform/adventure project, but for now, we’ll try to keep it simple, and we really hope this time we don’t mess it up We’ll be documenting the whole development process, both from my side (programming), as well as the artistical and musical part — Yuan’s part.

What is Little Ninja anyway?

Cool - nice to know you have another project in the pipe-line.

Is this going to be on Dreamcast? GP2X?

Hi there

Yeah, just a little project to take some vacation after Wind and Water. The truth is that we are not thinking of any console yet, let alone if it will be a commercial project. As for the current test version, it runs on PC/GP2X/Dreamcast since the code is 100% portable after W&W Let's just see what path it takes, there's still a looong way ahead before Little Ninja sees the light, or if it becomes the proof of concept for our next big ambitious puzzle/adventure game

Here's a new image from the latest post on the Dev Blog:
