Friday Update #64

[Kama]

Welcome to Friday update #64!

We know all you guys want to get a hold of NNK as soon as possible so we're letting you meet us half-way with our second community project, the Media Round Up!

During our development of NNK it's no secret that we frequently visit our own forums and keep in contact with you guys. What a lot of you might not know however is that we are always checking out the media you guys are posting on our message boards. And we have to say, we have some really talented fans!

We love seeing our community get swept up in the Naruto spirit like we have, and to promote that we're holding a Media Round Up! What we want all of you guys to do is get involved and help us out over at NNK! Unfortunately we don't have all the time we'd like to work on all the different characters and maps we'd like to give you guys when we release. That's where you come in!

Are you a modeler? Maybe you know a few mapping tricks? Perhaps you make awesome sound packs? Or heck, you might have no experience at all and have just been looking for a reason to break into modding! Well here it is! We want your media! And the best part is it doesn't matter what you make. We want all the media we can gather up! Whether you're new or have been doing it for years!

So what's in it for you? Anyone who submits a piece of media will be given early access to NNK on release day! While everyone else is waiting in line to download you'll be fighting your ninja buddies! But wait, you're new to the whole modding scene? Not a problem! We have a fantastic thread listing great tutorials on everything for you to get started! Click Here to check it out!

Media Round Up guidelines

• Submissions must have visible effort
• Any media type is accepted
• Shippuden characters and locations accepted
• All submitted work must be authors own creation
• Working together with friends permitted

Want to participate but not sure what you should make? Head on over to this thread to see what media your fellow fans are crying out for!

This project is on-going guys so do your best work! To show off your progress as you go, be sure to post in this thread! All submissions to this project are not going to be included in the official release. They will be hosted as optional downloads.


Can't wait to see what you guys produce!

 too bad i'm so useless to help with something...

[Oraito]

Good luck guys. Make us proud! =]

Don't forget, ripping is bad! It's not appreciated anywhere.
And here's a tip from me:

You're starting to learn modeling through tutorials, having a hard time and the thought "Man, this just isn't for me..." crosses your mind? Don't give in to it. It gets easier over time. Just STICK to it and you'll do just fine.
Don't forget you can always ask for help here in the forums. There are more than enough people who are willing to help and share their knowledge. =)

It can be anything you can think of! Sprites, character models, environment objects, textures, sound packs, weapons, etc. Be creative and have a good one! ^_^

[Damaera]

Make us proud! I want to see some sexy content for the first release.

[Sniper]

for mapping... don't we need some of the custom textures you guys use for nnk?

Well here it is! We want your media! And the best part is it doesn't matter what you make. We want all the media we can gather up! Whether you're new or have been doing it for years!

what if im making a map for another mod? will that count?


nvm... stupid question... the answer is no

OH well this will give me the chance to learn how to map in hl and also learn how to model, and i want to learn how to do some sprites as well

While I, quite literally, have nothing to offer and am quite positive that there's no way I can learn enough fundamentals to submit anything with "visible effort" in the next short while, I think this is a great idea!

It never hurts to encourage the modding population of the community, and having that stimulus help the project out is a great bonus.

Best of luck, modders! I promise not to make too many disparaging remarks about you when you're enjoying NNK while I'm in a download queue ;p

[JoeJustJoe]

Well using the links posted, I'm going to start learning C++.

Thank you for sharing those tutorials and programs!

I probably won't submit anything, as I probably won't progress to anything useful, but I really appreciate you opening this door for me.

[Damaera]

Best of luck, modders! I promise not to make too many disparaging remarks about you when you're enjoying NNK while I'm in a download queue ;p

He's lying. He's going to cuss out and ban each and everyone person who obtains NNK earlier than everyone else.

I dont know if you need it but ill start work on some concept art for you guys 

[Glac1al]

I'll try to make some models, can't imagine how i will make textures if i'm done 

[Sousuke]

I'm sure the Dev. team would help out. 

[Tom]

for mapping... don't we need some of the custom textures you guys use for nnk?

No, you would use your own textures (it's part of mapping afterall).

[Chaos]

well i would try to do something but i dont think its necessary... because
1. i have no experience in moddeling
2. i never thought of doing and it seems hard
3. if i did something it probably would be useless
4. u guys have so much experience it would be hard for a novice to surprise you

Don't be discouraged guys! The point is not that you create something that impresses us or even matches the quality of the NNK team, all we want is a lot of media for people to choose from! Don't worry about how good or bad you are, as long as you try your hardest to make something for us we'll be ecstatic and you'll get early access!

[Kurosai]

im not a modeler  but if yours want i can do some banners or  anything in photoshop  (Nnk Forum Userbars etc..)
