BANSHŌ

Second alpha (0.2.0).

NEW

• Story mode, Arc 1: the Academy. Learn Bunshin, Henge and Kawarimi, then pass the exam to become a Genin.
• Dialogue box: villagers, masters, the trader and your instructor now speak to you face to face.
• Summoning scroll: seal a creature inside, then summon it back from a summoning circle.
• Chūnin: new shinobi NPCs who lead a squad of Genin, some with a Kekkei Genkai.
• Shikon no Jutsu, a new medical technique (replaces Byakugō no In, which will return with the modes).
• Hand seals before every technique, and screen effects for every ultimate.
• 3D emblems, Haku's wig, Uchiha Sasuke's hair reworked.

WORLD AND PROGRESSION

• The world grows old: mostly Academy students at first, then Genin and Chūnin as the weeks go by.
• At most 5 shinobi around you. Foreign shinobi leave Academy students alone, unless attacked first.
• You start at level 0. Stats go up to 1000.
• Mastery now unlocks the next technique at 50%. Ultimates require 100 Ninjutsu points.
• A Kekkei Genkai must be earned: level 10, 30 Ninjutsu points, and your base natures mastered.
• Missions offer a third reward (5 experience levels). The trader sells headbands and flak jackets by rank.

TECHNIQUES AND FIXES

• Reworked: Kuropansa, Kirin, Dai Bakusui Shōha, Genkai Hakuri, Kazekiri, Doryūdan.
• Round shapes no longer show flat faces. Fire looks right with shaders.
• Clan and Kekkei Genkai scrolls 2 to 6 are now really given. Mission rewards are no longer lost.
• Items stay in their slot after death. Many first-person fixes.

Played through in survival without cheats from level 0, and tested on a dedicated server (but in solo).
