the game I want to present you is Shinobi Densetsu, which roughly means "ninja legend", and thats what you aim to do in this game, to become the ultimate ninja. If i were to name a genre, that would be "Ninja Sonictroid" or "Ninja Sonicvania". Sonic is everywhere, in the form of subtle gameplay mechanics, and the 360º physics, that allow you to run on walls and ceiling. What the heck, it's a ninja, right?
The project consists in a RPG/Platformer crossover, inspired by Samurai-age Japan and Far east and with a lot of fantasy in the mix. To be honest, the idea came up to me while watching Naruto. The idea of supernatural ninjas was good game context, and they always organized missions in teams of 3, which by coincidence, was the number of playable characters in Open Sonic (Open Surge's elder brother)
Our website is a bit incomplete as the haste for replacing the ripped graphics led to a loss of time for anything else. it's slowly rebuilding and we even have a wiki now.
so this is the site: http://shinobidensetsu.webs.com
We surely would like to enlarge the team, starting with a resident programmer to mod the engine's source, level creators (which will do it from in-game, in the built-in level editor), graphic artists are always welcome, the more the merrier
we are currently reviewing the licenses of all assets and making sure we're not failing to abide to them. The complete credits will contain all that info, by the next major release (v0.4). It will be available in-game, with the game, and online.

The video is a bit long but it has audio comments and has a nice overview of the game, in which almost all areas (levels) were visited, with some scenes of the level editor.
I hope you guys like it. i look forward to read and reply to comments.
