Welcome everybody to our first Friday night update
Today we'd like to introduce you to a minor but pretty neat feature, facial expressions.
It may not have a big impact on the actual gameplay (which will be revealed during the coming weeks) but we just love that kind of eye candy and to us, it adds a certain kind of depth to the game. :)
First, your character will perform certain facial animations depending on what he is actually doing. For instance, if you are hit by something and you scream a pain sound, your character will actually "scream " that sound. Though we don't actually have lip synced animations.
Now another nice little feature is that these animations will also react to anything you type into the ingame chat. So you will be able to perform certain expressions whenever you want, probably even combined with a "full body" animation if you're just standing idle while using the chat :)
Furthermore, we'd like to share one little wallpaper with you rendered by our talented artist Super Vegetto. More wallpapers will probably follow in the next few news updates.

See you next time,
- the NNK Team
lol @ the facial expressions. that's pretty cool. very reminiscent of the manga/anime.
do they blend?
Nice!
i cant see a screaming face?
The expressions on those two screenshots are only a few examples. There will be more then 8.
The mouth is 100% animated so the animation itself will blend, the eyes are a subskin that will just stich on/off
Have you heard of the head crab jutsu?
Damn. I may not be a fan of Naruto, but...this looks nice.
Naruto is ******* gay. not only that but this is for the HL1 engine and nobody plays it anymore. nobody will play this mod
Uuh wow, I think we should all then just stop modding this instant because some 14 year old retard doesn't like Naruto or Half-Life
I don't give a **** about whether you like it or not.
Youngsters who can't appreciate the essence of modding. You disgust me. I bet you're one of those people who can't even do a simple hello world app without using a book (or ebook because you are to cheap to actually buy one) yet you demand kickass nextgen quality content from hobbyists made without any funds within a couple of months.
