Welcome to Friday update #59!

As always we're striving to improve NNK's quality. So today we're taking a look at our updated Chuunin Finals!

---

---

As you guys know, we've already given you a couple of looks at Chuunin Finals in our earlier updates you can find here and here.

It has always been one of the most played maps over the months. Being our most open arena map we wanted to make sure that no details were spared and all players got the true experience of fighting in the massive arena with Konoha towering in the distance. A lot of work has gone into our maps since day one and more work continues to be done each week. It has been a goal of NNK to release everything at high quality instead of a mod with a lot of mediocre content. 59 weeks later we can say we've held true to that goal.

So enjoy the screens of our new revamped textures and backdrop!

Welcome to Friday update #58!

We're all about options here at NNK, so this week we're giving you a better look at Smoke Bombs!

---

---

NNK has been a fast game since day one, and we wanted to make sure you had every tool you'd need to play as defensively or offensively as you wanted to. Smoke bombs are one of the most exciting tools you have at your disposal. Sometimes when the battle gets too intense a smoke bomb is the only escape option available to buy you those extra few seconds to regroup.

Regardless what your play style is Smoke Bombs suit your needs. They can be used as cover to charge up a devastating attack, a way to blind your opponent from seeing where you ran to, or even thrown down to hide in while making bunshins of yourself to confuse your enemies!

Whatever your play style you'll find yourself using Smoke Bombs nearly every fight.

Time to grace your mornings with some new NNK goodness. Take it easy this week, sit back with a warm drink and admire the team you'll soon be able to beat the snot out of your friends with.

As always we're doing our best to get our project out there for you guys to play. This week we just had a return of one of our programmers who had to take a leave for his studies. We're glad to have him back and can't wait to show you what he's pumping out!

Welcome to Friday update #56!

We've had a lot of exciting updates these past few weeks, here's another one on our Facial Animations!

---

---

Progress is faster than ever and every week newer and more exciting features are being finalized and put in-game! One feature we're all really excited about are facial animations during melee battles. Now your characters face will change no matter what they are doing, from idling in a corner keeping a watchful eye or shouting out in pain when taking a fist to the chest. All of your favorite characters come to life in ways thought originally too subtle for Half-life!

Keep your eyes open for some more exciting updates coming in the next few weeks!

Welcome to Friday Update #55!

We know you've all been asking for it, so we finally caved! Here's Rasengan!

---

---

Naruto's signature jutsu has always been a hot topic here at NNK. As a trademark to the series, we knew it would take us a few tries to get it totally right.

We previously showed you a teaser in Friday Update #35 back in January. Since then, we've taken steps to ensure that not only will it look great on the screen, but also perform well in battle! Watch as they spin away after impact, cool huh?

We apologize for the late update this week, and hope you understand.

Until next time,
- THE NNK TEAM WITH GUEST EDITOR CRAIGCITY
