III. Early Access Advisory: Known Issues & Workarounds

We are aware of several high-priority issues and are working diligently to resolve them. Here are the current major issues and their temporary solutions.

Jutsu Tree – When leveling up an attribute like health, chakra recovery, etc only add one jutsu point at a time. Add the point, hit the “Apply” button at the bottom right, then add another point and repeat. However, you can select multiple different attributes at once, just not the same attribute more than once before hitting apply. If you don’t do this, only one point will be recognized and you will not see the benefits of the extra levels.

1. Combat Update

• Issue: We recognize that the current combat system feels stiff and lacks fluidity.

• Status: A complete Combat System Overhaul is the highest-priority development task once our new workstation is operational. Our goal is to deliver a dynamic, strategic, and engaging combat experience worthy of a true shinobi.

IV. A Note from the Daimyo (Lead Developer)

My vision for Shinobi Unleashed has always been to create a genuine, open-world game that evolves over time—a world where you, the player, can truly feel the progression of a shinobi rising from nothing to unleash your ultimate power. This is the game I’ve always wanted to play, an immersive universe built from the ground up.

As a solo developer, this is a massive undertaking. Your support and patience mean the world to me as I build this experience piece by piece. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
