Hey Ninjas, How have you been? For us, the past few months had been rather difficult. For a closely knitted team who is used to working in the same office, it was not easy for us to transit to working remotely from home.

Despite the challenges, we somehow managed to stick to our schedule to release a free content update containing 2 new maps and a new weapon just in time for the Steam Summer Sale. As most of you will know, we have continuously updated the game with a generous amount of free content even after the game was completed.

- Wishlist Our Upcoming Game Gordian Quest! - 24 November 2019
Hey Guys, We just want to let you know that we are working hard on our next game release. The bad news is - it's not a VR game. The good news is - we believe that it's going to be a hell of a fun game. As game developers, our core mission is to create great fun games.

Our upcoming game is a PC roguelike/lite RPG that combines the best elements of deckbuilding, tactical combat and strategic decision-making. It’s called Gordian Quest and slated to launch on Steam’s Early Access between December 2019 to Early 2020. ---------------- What Kind of Game is Gordian Quest? The game is best described as an old school RPG presented in a modern way. We are huge fans of old cult classics like Wizardry, Ultima, Dungeons and Dragons and Might and Magic. There is something charming about the old-school way of forming your team…

- Another Bumper Update (v1.5.0p8) - 22 November 2018
Greetings Ninjas, It's been a while since our last update, and we're excited to talk about what's in patch 1.5. Updated Locomotion Clipping and falling through the environment - It's probably happened to you more than once, and it's no way to experience being a ninja.

You are no longer limited to backflips off walls - you can now trigger directional flips in the air, and also sideflip off a wallrun. The trigger is the same as before - raise both hands in the air as you jump. Additionally, you can also trigger the flip at any time along the upward portion of a jump, so you can time your flips to have maximum air-time. Gliding Gliding is a n…
