As you can probably see...

Nin Online is now out on Steam!

Nin Online has been operating out of it's own website exclusively for the last 12 years since the first alpha test. While it's seen its first beta release and launch in 2019, it's ran mostly from people finding it through word of mouth. Steam is the largest game publishing platform by a large margin, and so being on Steam allows us to reach audiences who find new games through the platform.

We've had to delay the Steam release for years now because there were barriers in implementing the Steam API and meeting the requirements for launch, but we've finally got the approval!

There's some risk involved in our launch to Steam, but we hope that it pays off. One thing that will happen is the same that a lot of Free to Play games experience. Games that are one-and-done give players a good 20 hours experience and they leave it feeling pleasant and leave a good review, whereas for online games with endless play time potential like Nin Online, the chances of players getting banned for something and coming back to leave a negative review is high. There's also players who have enjoyed the game for thousands of hours but because of an update they dislike will review bomb the game.

If you enjoy and love Nin Online, or have played it and loved it at some point, I hope you will leave a positive review. It helps the game continue going. I've dedicated 12 years of my life to making Nin Online the best I can as a solo developer with the help of community members. Building an MMORPG is hard, and was even harder back in 2013. So it's only going to get better from here!
