What we're going through right now is a polishing phase for the new features and reworking some existing older features to make sure they are the quality expected by today's standards. This includes improving simple animations, fixing bugs and making sure things work the way they should.
Nin Online is participating in a Steam Festival in February so we're getting things ready for new players!
New Pathfinding Modes
Added a ton of new pathfinding behaviors for NPCs that allow for us to make more variations of NPC behavior. This update includes reworking the whole pathfinding system to work like an API that takes in different algorithms and swap them on the fly. Included a new Adaptive Pathfinding mode for NPCs that uses a mix of different pathfinding modes depending on the situation. Also improved the movement of escort NPCs with this.

Players in Teams will now have a "Accept with Team" button in the Mission Offer prompt. If they press this button, their team mates will receive the prompt as well.
