Bug? Game story stuck after reporting Yota to Iruka-sensei, task stays the same and i cant progres
Oh, that's because there is no content left after that.
The final part of that story arc will be released in the next update.
Oh! Thanks, i thought I broke the game lol
Looking forward to more
Help im stuck in night
Hi,
In what part of the story are you at?
I had to restart, it was fine, but i have a new bug now, which is in my latest comment
I dont really see why the night would be usefull, as I have not found anything you can do. In the changelog it states that you should be able to do agility training during the night, but you cant. Still way better then the game breaking if you try thou.
I dont know if this was also happening in 2.0.0 but now i go do agility training and the status bar disapears, escape stops working, etc. This is not always happening, but i dont really know when it is.
Perhaps my savegame is bricked, so this might be a me issue.
Hello, there was a small mistake in the changelog that has already been corrected. It should not be possible to perform any common activities at night.
Regarding the utility of the night, it will be used for some specific events in the future, for the main story, and for certain character routes. But we will consider allow training until night time.
It can be an issue with your save. We cannot guarantee compatibility from one update to another.
When trying go out of the small talk menu, there is an error. You can just ignore it, the game will still work, but its anoying.
(linux)
Hi, we will try to reproduce that error to fix it!
Thanks for reporting it!
I was just wondering, is this the only way to reach out to the dev team? it would be nice to have a better way to report bugs than a comment section. If this grows in the future, perhaps it would be nice to have something like an issue tracker on github, so you can see if someone has had the same issue as you, and how they resolved it. Even if its not a bug, but just needing help with progressing in the story. Or perhaps a community discord or something, it just seems a little plain to only have this comment section where you need to create an itch.io account to comment. I think there might be a lot of people who might have found a bug, just want to say the game is awesome or have an idea for a feature, but don't comment because they need to create an itch.io account. This is just my personal opinion, but every indie game should have a way for the community to interact with the devs and among themselves.
Hi,
Currently, this is the only way to contact us.
We thought that creating a Discord server would be too much. However, considering your suggestion and the fact that you're not the first person asking for a Discord server, coupled with the requirement to create an Itch account to comment, that makes a pretty valid argument for us to create a Discord server.
It will happen!
Thanks for the suggestions, we appreciate all kinds of feedback that allow us to improve.
Nice game, but i just have the issue of being stuck in a time loop.
!spoiler!
This happened after meeting that weather guy. On sunday, after training, specifically agility, don't know if this applies to other ones too. I trained till night, and after that, i went to sleep. Issue is that i woke up back on sunday morining, two times in a row, then i tried the grounds, only till evening, and after sleeping it was monday, as it shoud be. However, there is still the issue of every transition animation being made with the grounds as backgound. I cant even open the escape menu, it just acts like a back button, till my initial training with agility, where then i can finaly save. It did stay monday however, eventhou it reverted to the events that happend on the 2. or 3. sunday. (i am not sure anymore wich it was, but if it was the second it would make sense that it is now monday)
since i could not open the escape menu, and the buttons on the bottom for quicksave where gone i could not save. otherwise i would have uploaded my savegame, in hopes that it would help you find the issue.
it could also be that the issue is just staying up till night, cause it also happened on monday and tuesady, and now its showing the classroom when changing scenses, either this does not cooperate well with linux, is still very alpha, or i bricked my savegame somehow. But i am pretty sure its the nightly agility that is the issue, because that is where the bar at the bottom dissapears, and the esc rewinding starts.
hope this helps, im running on linux mint by the way
Hi, thanks for the comment!
We appreciate your report.
We'll look into reproducing the bug and working on a fix.
The game is nice but there are loading problems which break the immersion, especially since the game is quite repetitive. And why Kiba have a cat?
Hello,
Can you specify where the loading issues are occurring?
Regarding Kiba, we tried to make the designs a bit different from the usual to avoid potential copyright problems.
Between each scene (for example when I am in home and I go to the world map) it sometimes takes between 5 and 10 seconds to load the next scene.
And to avoid copyright problems? but there is naruto music in your game no? and the characters have their original names..so I don't see why the fact that Akamaru is a dog will cause copyright problems.
In what platform do you play? Like, android or windows..
About Akamaru, yeah, you're right.
In our first approach, we wanted to use only the original character names, and everything else be custom made. But since we dont have resources for the custom made stuff, probably we will stick to the original content.
We will change Akamaru sprite for the next update.
My platform is windows so i dont know its me who have that problem or all other windows user.
Until now, nobody reported that problem to us. We use windows to develop it and we dont had any of that issues, but we will see if we can do something about it
How do I access the the training grounds and the new mini game?
Hi, you need to progress in the history.
Check the notepad, there is hints there for you to be able to progress in the game
romance routes when
Hi,thanks for the comment!
This game will not have romance routes due to their age.
Only when they grow up.
thats what i meant ugg hate text bast commination
It will be done when they reach 18y, but that will take a long time until we reach that part
hi man what about your channel in youtube what are you gonna do about it like will you make a video every time you update your game
we don't know yet what to do with the YouTube channel.
For now, the only purpose was to publish the trailer.
hello again there's question in my mind is it possible to steal the nine tails from naruto and become jinchuriki myself or steal sharingan from sasuke or other members of the uchiha or can i steal forbidden books or techniques and what effects my morality exactly i mean killing is fine because they are ninja's so what else effect it and if you reached boruto era will he have kids thank you again have wonderful day
Hello, I will answer your questions by topic to make it easier to read:
If you have more questions, please feel free to leave a comment.
Hello again, so how far can i change the story exactly like can i stop sasuke from leaving the village or helping naruto graduate from school or i can make him hate the village and can i effect others relationship like i can tell naruto that hinata likes him like how much of impact i am to the story
Hi, the protagonist presence will affect the story only at a certain level. Major events will remain untouched even with the protagonist presence.
ok then what about the rest of the projects will i have big impact or not
The rest of the games will be a direct sequel, and the actions taken in the previous game will impact the story in the newer games.
hi man when do you think you would finish this game and start the next one the classic era
Hi, thanks for the comment!
It will take us a years before passing to the next game, probably 2-3 years. We are currently finishing the second update for this game, and it's like 7-8% of the total game content.
thanks for answering my question then how long this game will take to complete it because i really love this game and i really hope you Don't abandon it
Thank you for your support!
Your positive feedback is crucial in keeping us motivated.
We have no intention of abandoning this project, as it's our dream endeavor.
We anticipate its completion in 2-3 years.
thanks again for replying if you don't mind my question i hope you don't take offense to it but why is it tacking this long exactly and i really hope you succeed in this game thank you for your hard work and this beautiful game and please know your hard work is much appreciated
Hey, thanks for your support, it's very gratifying to see our project being appreciated!
Well, for the second update, it's because of the amount of dialogues.
The second update will have almost 10x more words than the first version .
All the features planned for the update are done, just need to do some minor adjustments. But the dialogues are very time consuming, and there is only one person working on the project. And It's currently his exam season in his university, so he need to spend more time studying.
To complete the entire game, we need 2-3 years because we have planned 4 main arcs for main history, all of them with different choices, paths and consequences. 12 routes for every character that you can develop a relationship with, developing their history. Events like Christmas and Halloween, more features, and a fighting mechanic.
And there is more to be done to the game. All we need is time to make all the ideas to fit perfectly.
I love the game but it wont allow me to attend class after the first test
Hi, thanks for the feedback.
The first version of the game doesn't have more classes after the first test.
I played the free version, and I really liked it so far, however I have the sneaking suspicion that the character models are made with an AI. I hope you´re going to hire an artist to redo the portraits, or did you already do so in the current version?
Its kinda immersion breaking,
but everything else I saw so far is great
Hi, thanks for your comment!
We appreciate your appreciation for our work.
About the character models, unfortunately, is made with an AI because we dont have budget to hire an artist.
Our main goal is get enough funds to hire an artist to redo all the character models.
But, while that doesn't happened, we are forced to use AI. Otherwise, the game couldn't be released.
It would be great if you can add various hair styles and face features in the future to make it more immersive for players so we can engage more with the game :). And i'm curious: will you consider the option where the player maybe can choose as a male mc or female mc? Just asking of course, and it's a suggestion. Please don't feel pressured or anything! Feel free to create the game however you like!
I can't wait to see the next update :). This one definitely in my watch list, so i won't miss out. Take care, dev!
Hey, thanks for the comment!
I'll break down the questions by topics to make it easier to read:

thoughts on having the main character go through Anbu training as he gets older? I think it would be cool
Hello, thanks for the comment. The main character will be part of Anbu when he gets older.
its up for debate but I've seen it written somewhere that anbu is a division/type of ninja like how medical ninja is a type not a rank above jounin, thought some people treat it as a rank above jounin. Both chuunin and genin where shown to be anbu, this wouldn't be possible if anbu was an actual rank above jounin.
Hello, thank you for the comment!
In our interpretation, the anbu is a division/squad where its members have a rank, like chunin or jounin.
In our game, the anbu will be treated as such, where the player can take on both anbu missions and what are considered normal missions.
How long with the current amount of subscribers you have do you think it will take until you have an edition with nsfw content? and what kinks if any are off the table once thats in?
Thank you for the comment.
Currently, with the number of subscribers we have, it's impossible for us to produce any NSFW content. The updates we provide consume a lot of time because we're working hard to deliver quality content. There are no plans to add that type of content to our current game due to the age of the characters. However, it might be possible to include such content in a future game where the characters are 18+, but that's still several years away at this pace. Even if introduced, there wouldn't be much since the game isn't a sex simulator. Regarding kinks, we're unsure as it's something we've never considered implementing.
This game was something I was not expecting to exist, yet was hoping for. I played the first version and did all that was possible on it and there is definitely potential in it and I am looking forward to seeing more of it.
On that note I'd like to inquire about when the next update is going to be? Also in regards to the story, will it follow the events of what happened in the manga/anime and if yes how much would the player be able to affect what happens? Also will we see events such as what happened to the Uchiha clan in this game and its impact on the world and characters? Also although that might be a bit too far in the future but would the various teams be made as they were in Naruto or will the player be able to be put on any team based on what has happened in the game and will there be missions unique to this game which are not part of what happened in the manga/anime?
Thank you for making this game and a final suggestion, although it might sound hypocritical coming from me but perhaps it would be a good idea to take some time to flesh out dialogue as I noticed quite a few mistakes at least in the first version. Hope you have much success!
Hey, thank you for sharing you thoughts!
We're glad to see our efforts paying off in creating a unique game that hasn't been done before.
For clarity, I'll break down your questions and answers by topic.
About the dialogue, all the dialogue system will be revamped for the next version, and that include the dialogues as well.
Thank you again for the feedback and support.
If you have more questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.
First off, even if I write quite a while after the response I wish to thank you for it! During this period I have come up with some new questions that interest me in regards to this game and its story/character.
Firstly, will the main character have any unique doujutsu associated with his mysterious unknown clan?
Secondly, will the main character, depending on his element/s be able to create their own jutsus? By that I mean that it doesn't necessarily have to be something incredibely overpowered or of the likes but something unique to him. And by extension if the character is allowed to choose a "non-native" element, have perhaps the jutsu that he could make be unique to that element/combination with main element. So say there is a special jutsu for if his main element is fire and secondary is lightning and the same if it's fire and water and so on.
Thirdly in terms of customization I wonder will it be possible to wear a mask akin to that which Kakashi wears in the actual series and will we be able to put the headband on different places? Some characters instead of having a standard headband, they wear Konoha's symbol on their necks or even arms so will these things be possible?
And lastly, although this one may be way out into the future but should this prove successful would you consider making a game like this but set in the Boruto era with a story unique to it and unrelated to this one?
Hello, I'll address your points in topics to make it clearer.

So I had just finshed the first month and now I can't go into classroom to do lessions but at the end of the week I get a visit from the teacher asking why I haven't becoming to class so what am I meant to do?
10 question correct on test
I've almost maxed ninjisu as well
Is that everything in this version ?
I'm playing on android btw
Hi, thank you for your comment.
That's all the content we have planned for this version, but we are very happy to know that you have made everything that has to be done in this version.
We can tell you, that there is a secret scene in a specific class that can be unlocked by having a good relationship with a specific character.
If you have more questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I will happly reply and take notes
could you make mini games skippable depending on which ones and maybe have a quest log of sorts and maybe have a few different hair colors but more importantly i think it would be cool to be able to save any character if your strong enough but it also would be nice to be able to buy your own house later maybe not in this version
Hi, thanks for the comment.
I will answer every question in topics.
If you have more questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I will happly reply and take notes.
not what i meant for the house buying i meant like when he becomes a teen later could you put in some sort thing to show that you maxed out in certain stat then and what i mean is save them from danger
actually i think it would be cool to be able to chose your ninja class like medical and others but it is only an idea that could take some work
i have a better idea instead of what i said before why dont you make a few different model you can leave him as a boy some could look more feminine or masculine and each different body it wont change the story just the appearance maybe put in outfit customization and it would be nice to have something like a ranking system and combat system
The idea of having different male bodys sounds good to me!
I will take note.
About the outfits, I had that in mind, and it will probably be in game.
Ranking system and combat system will be added in the future!
will you all the character to grow up over time and being able to add romance to it in truth i think romance can change the story's outcome it would be nice to chose your own gender own clan own element(s) it could influence the story a bit but it wont change much and it would be cool to not follow the main plot where your morality affects the story more
