Hellllloooooo in hereeeeeeee
Hey it’s Avairian and more importantly, no the mod isn’t dead. 
Life has been a little busy for me lately but I haven’t stopped working on Nihonjin. I’m slowly updating Nihonjin for compatibility for Alpha 4 and will hopefully be releasing it sometime after the official Alpha 4 update.
If you havn’t heard from other sources, @Pandemic and I have decided to team up on our mod making!!! I shall be structuring up our mods, bug testing them and fixing them while @Pandemic tackles the art of it.
While testing out the new armor system in place in the latest alpha build I took this little teaser for you: 
@Pandemic has been hard at work updating my previously made models. Isn’t his revamp of the samurai armor amazing!?
P.S. If you havn’t, check out Pandemic’s thread for some more of his amazing artwork: Pandemic's Art and Modding Corner! Bringing Pretty Back since 2017!
