BACK TO SCHOOL FOR THE SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT
So back to school and it is the Spring semester 2013 and the 2nd part of my Senior Capstone project! I just plunged in and was in-grafted to Ninja-Royale team as a programmer. The team is a bunch of EAE students full of great ideas and with a good sense of humor. I promised to do the least damage to their current development :-) and hopefully add some of my things there. This game has its potential it sounds to me like RPG in 3D environment and if there is some interesting storytelling this can be very playable.

I was always interested in old BW Japanese movies about samurais, about quiet men following their codes of honor and combat. Especially how they with a lighting speed, guttural shout, and swishing sound of their samurai sword detach the heads of their enemies :-). Here I found some interesting info about differences between ninja and samurai:

"A ninja (忍者) or shinobi (忍び) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan who specialized in unorthodox warfare. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, and open combat in certain situations.[1] Their covert methods of waging war contrasted the ninja with the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat"

As of now I am trying to catch up with their project they already spent 5 months in.
