   Guys quick question:

   I'm currently doing the music for Ninjamurai. When I went back and played Sonic 1, I noticed that music-wise there was just the 1 track per zone and the boss music was the same for each boss... It was an over-arching boss theme as opposed to individual boss tunes. I think there is a little purity to that but I want to know if more musical content is better or would I be as well off sticking with the over-arching boss theme I'm quite happy with? What do you guys think?

   Kindest Regards,

   Paddy M.

   I think the overarching boss theme and audible elements sounds like good idea.

   There should be blood effect or else it doesn't feel right for a body chopping game to be honest

   Also I noticed that in the trailer, when the ninja does a triple wall jump, he doesn't even touch the wall

   A good idea would be to have one main Boss track with remixes and different arrangements of that track… basically turning one track into many… Just an idea. ;)

   P.S. Don’t forget about an ‘Audio Mode’ (music and sound effects).

   Hey dudes,

   Well to give ye an update we have a few boss tracks in the game - thus far we're up to 14 music tracks in the game - not bad! Also, Audio Mode is a go, Thumb-Bandit so you will be able to enjoy the tuneage and SFX at your leisure! :D

   We are in the late stages of development now so we should have an awesome reveal of the final product coming very soon and then it'll be in your hands before you know it!!!

   Thanks guys, Can't wait to give y'all Ninjamurai :)

   Kindest,

    It's probably too late to impliment the following idea... but I'll tell you it anyway.
    How about bilboards in the background of Ninjamurai (as some free) advertising (for) your current (and future) games.
    Halfbrick did something similar with (the then called) Rocket Racing, it was, is and always will be a great idea. ;)

    Actually Thumb,

    Its funny because we decided a few days ago to put those types of advertisements into Revoltin' Youth instead as it was too late in the dev cycle for Ninjamurai. Great minds think alike eh?

    All the best,

    Paddy M.

    Namco had billboards for some of its contemporary games in Pole Position, I recall. I think Atari's release of the game in American arcades replaced those with billboards for its own titles.

    And, of course, Ridge Racer has multiple references to other Namco games all over the place. I think I remember seeing "Bosconian" and "Solvalou" written on some cars.

    Yo guys -

    The worlds first Ninjamurai hands on has gone up over on Bone-Idle.eu -
    http://www.bone-idle.eu/?p=158

    We're really happy with what they thought of the game. The marketing band wagon should begin rolling from here on out with more screenshots, story snippets and videos leaking out in the coming weeks before release. Stay tuned over on the ninjamurai facebook for more details - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ninjamurai/168837769830096

    Cheers yo :)
    4 Track OST Sampler available on request also, send requests to info@openemotionstudios.com

    Hey CRyan1997 - We're based in Limerick, but we're kinda from all over. I'm from Clare myself :) Thats awesome that we were mentioned over on IGN - Fingers crossed now that he likes the game :D Really looking forward to delivering ye all an awesome game with Ninjamurai :)

    Aim is to release it simultaneously in the US and NA and we're on track for that as ESRB and PEGI are being sorted at the same time as opposed to Mad Blocker.

    Cheers guys,

    Paddy M.

    Hi Paddy - I've just had a proper read of the hands-on preview at Bone-Idle.

    Really interesting to hear that the game allows you to take two different play styles (fast & slow), each approach offering different advantages (fast allows you to avoid enemies and slow allows you to deal more powerful attacks).

    This game sounds awesome - I can't wait to play it!

    pls add blood effects

    But there's no 'C' in the title for them to replace with a 'K'! ;P

    Don't worry; the blood will be available in the Genesis/Mega Drive version.

    The game looks like it'll turn out as good as I was hoping it would when you guys first announced it. Can't wait for the NA release, hopefully I won't have to wait too long.
