Friday Update #55

[SV]

Welcome to Friday Update #55!

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

Naruto: Naiteki Kensei Mod for Half-Life Videos & Audio - Mod DB

High Quality version CLICK HERE

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

Brilliant  
I like the spin effect after the attack! Its LOOKS AWESOME!!
Though I didnt see it in the video can you dash with the rasengan? If not it would make it a very easy jutsu to dodge.

i was wondering what you meant by someones dream comming true SV lol thx

'Actually this isn't the HL1 engine'

This was the first thought that came to my mind when i saw this video

That's totally awesome  
Omg i wouldn't be suprised if this mod would be a standalone-game like 'Killing Floor'
I'm so amazed that this engine could get so far (especially the spin)
This is really the best Naruto game (i'm not going to say mod  ) i've ever seen

I love it guys, the Rasengan sprite is awesome really and the spin effect + sprite later on is looking really nice! I mean it must have taken a lot of work and it really is purty...must feel good nailing that one into an opponent and just watch them set off Awesome...But I have 2 questions?

Hitting the wall after getting hit by Rasengan? Will he continue to spin on the wall? Or will it be a direct stop? And I'm having just a bit of an aesthetic question. When the little ball hits an opponent, it develops into a big white sphere between you and him. I was wondering if it isn't a bit "better looking if the sphere was more "diffuse" and more like light that engulfs the opponent and then knocks him off. Because now there is no contact between Narutos hand and the enemy's body?

<3 You know I love you all!

You can indeed dash while holding the Rasengan.

Hitting the wall after getting hit by Rasengan? Will he continue to spin on the wall? Or will it be a direct stop?

We have been brainstorming about this for a while. There was a plan to have the players crashing against the wall, but that brings up a whole new system of stun and recovery, which we decided to delay for next release. Just had to clear that out up front.

And I'm having just a bit of an aesthetic question. When the little ball hits an opponent, it develops into a big white sphere between you and him. I was wondering if it isn't a bit "better looking if the sphere was more "diffuse" and more like light that engulfs the opponent and then knocks him off.

I didn't quite understood the question but if you're talking about the contact between Naruto and the enemy, sometimes it's a bit off. Mostly when the two players are moving really fast. We'll try to work on that and see if we can fix it.

Oh and... you guys might want to examine the video very thoroughly. Maybe you'll find something interesting. D:
