I've been contemplating going over the setting/premise of my game in a text post here, but I though it might be better to deliver the complete experience via an introductory release of a "Story demo version" of my game.
I have updated the LINKS section of the parent post.
Please note that this is NOT intended to be a demo, but simply an introduction to the story. It contains less than 5% of the content included in my 0.1 version, to be released sometime in this month!
I'd love to hear initial thoughts/feedback/opinions on:
-Writing/Setting
-Art and CG quality/consistency
-Sound mixing
Or just in general, anything you might think is worth discussing!

No spoilers but uuh, women's fertility play a pivotal role in the premise of the game's story. Even the initial story demo I uploaded has a scene very early into the game that implies pregnancy. At the same time, I don't want to promise the world when it comes to the main girls. Don't expect to be able to impregnate your M/S an hour into the game
Greetings one and all!
I am posting another demo here, this time exploring a core gameplay-loop of "House of Shinobi"
You can play it
In this demo you'll stumble upon two side characters (
Meet Obo and his wife Yoru!(Looks familiar?) Their relationship might not be what it seems at first. You'll find out more once the initial version of HoS releases later this month.
For now, let's focus on the task at hand. In this technical demo you'll be attempting to prove your worth to Obo.
To do so you'll have to perform to the best of your abilities in Obo's renowned ramen restaurant.
Your performance will be pivotal in both, your economical well-being as well as the state of your relationship with Obo and Yoru.
The better you perform, the more likely you'll be to uncover Obo and Yoru's secrets!
If you play through this technical demo, I would love to hear your feedback on how difficult or easy the game was for you.
And as a fun little challenge, try beating some of the high-scores you'll find listed within the demo itself.
Beat mine and come back here to rub it in my face, or
Who knows, maybe there'll be a little competition with a few rewards for those who want to scratch their competitive itch!

Not quite. There are multiple side characters with their own paths. You'll see an example right on my previous post!
Unlike Main characters, side characters won't possess unique attributes. Instead, your approach towards them will largely be affected by the main character's attributes and your choices when it comes to their corresponding stories.
Intro to game mechanics V2 - Navigation/Exploration
Greetings all,
As I am wrapping up development of the initial release (To be released within the next 14 days)
I am ready to share with you some more information in regards to a pivotal system that'll be present in "House of Shinobi"
I've stated before that this is NOT intended to be just another VN where clicking through endless dialogue would be the primary 'gameplay' element.
As such, I've been working on implementing a sandbox aspect to the game that'll play a crucial role in how you engage with various characters and events.
In combination with the

, Navigating the game world will present you with different options at different times, based on your stats.In this example, you enter Hinata's room to find her perhaps prepping for another one of her sweaty workouts...
By using the action buttons in the middle left of the screen, or by hovering your cursor over her you can initiate various interactions with her or other characters you may come across within the various rooms/areas of the game world.
The circular icons at the bottom left represent different rooms you can visit within your household. A green dot should help you keep track of rooms where potential actions could be taken.
Of course, you'll also have access to a world map:
The world map allows you to navigate to places that are outside your household. Every location presents opportunities to meet new characters or find new events.
Besides navigating the game world, you'll also have opportunities to explore certain areas, potentially uncovering secrets, or hidden items.
The particularly perceptive players among you, might even be able to piece together information that will prove to be helpful in your adventures...
With that, I am going to wrap up this devlog update. Expect another one before the game's initial release within the coming days!If you haven't yet checked out the

! (If you do, I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas!)I played the demo, so are we going to able to capture the females of the other villages like temari, samui, mei etc.and keep them for ourselves? If so are they going to be side lis?
And is this a harem? Will both the main lis and side lis are going to be in the harem?
There's a lot to unpack in those questions and I don't want to overpromise and under-deliver.
In that regard I want to be concise and limit my answer to what's in the scope for the immediate future.
For starters, the game will launch with:
Boruto (MC)
Hinata (MC)
Himawari (MC)
Ino (SC/LI)
Tsunade (SC/LI)
Tenten (SC/LI)
Yoruichi (SC/LI)
Naruto (SC)
Obo (SC - Original Character)
Some unnamed Original Character1(SC)
Some unnamed Original Character2(SC)

Two more popular female characters from the Naruto universe are planned for the immediate updates following the initial release:

The fact that there is Tsunade, Yoruichi and Tenten and no Sakura and Sarada is really weird.

Release Date Announcement + Game Mechanics V3
Greetings all and welcome to the last devlog update before the initial release!
First things first, House of Shinobi's initial release (barring any unexpected life-altering events) is set for:
Release Date: 15th of August - 15/08/24
The initial release of HoS is set to include:
-Multiple hours of content for you to exploreThe initial release of HoS is set to include:
-An introductory storyline + surrounding events amounting to 60k+ words.
-A metric fuckton of CG + Sprites + Animation-lites
-More than 400 choices (2/3rds with some sort of impact, 1/3rd with conversational impact)
-Events with multiple endings
-And much more you'll come to experience when you play the game!
Of course, HoS is and will be, in active development for the foreseeable future! In that regard the initial release will of course, NOT be a complete game.
The goal of the initial release is to introduce to the players to the setting, story and main characters of the game, along with all gameplay-related systems that'll serve as the foundation of future content. Some of these systems might be incomplete or under-utilized in the initial release but opting to include them will make the process of adding content and iterating upon them faster in the future.
Which brings us to the subject of this devlog and one of those aforementioned under-utilized features that'll be present in HoS' initial release:
Intro to game mechanics V3 - Shopkeeper
After you unlock the world map you'll quickly stumble upon a familiar looking character.
Tenten, following the events of the last shinobi war, has set up a small all-purpose shop within Konoha's market area.
Trying to make ends meet, Tenten will sell anything and everything to anyone who's willing to pay a fair price for her services.
Her desperation to acquire currency at any cost, has her morals end where money begins to flow.
You'll quickly come to realize that Tenten stocks up on items of... peculiar use. Condoms, lockpicks, weapons and various tools of questionable usage are only some of the items you will find in her establishment.
Of course, Tenten being a slave to money, could perhaps be easily influenced by someone who's willing to spend it.
Is there a reason why she's willing to go that far for money? Will you choose to use that against her?
Her fate will be in your hands.
While Tenten and her shop will make an appearance in HoS's initial release, it'll be very much so in an introductory capacity as she and the shop are largely content still in development.
Her role as a side character with her own story/events and quests, will be fleshed-out in future updates of HoS!
With that, I hope to see you all playing House of Shinobi when it releases on the 15th of August - 15/08/24
Until then, I'll be hard at work to deliver HoS' initial release at its best possible state.
