Nope, that won't happen here. This summer I'm going to do some heavy development so that hopefully after the summer we'll have a basic MMO running

I was already going for a combat system like you mentioned, but thanks for the suggestion anyway

Well odds are I will become an Evil clan, and of course go with the name "akatsuki" and we will make a village some place else. Hoply whenever I get my computer back I can help with somestuff and also I plan on donating to this project.

Great Don't forget to let any Naruto loving friends know about the project. We gotta make dis community grow.

Would this be possible? I know in the show some ninjas can "Create" their own jutsu, would it be possible to allow clans to have a jutsu made for their clan? Or at least give them a special one for being in the clan or something? It would add an awesome dynamic to the game I think.

I think we're getting way ahead of ourselves, I mean all that we've already planned won't be easy to make. Let alone letting the people create their own attacks, how many games do you know that allow that? Yes it would be awesome, but I don't see it happen anytime soon. Don't get me wrong, our other plans will also take a lot of time to be developed.

Sounds like a good idea, if you need any helping designing the map and world, I could always help once I have my computer again. I haven't used unity in a while but I can get back into it. I will also have photoshop so I can make up some graphic, textures, etc for you while I have free time.

Great, we can use all the help we can get

I agree Vreg, I think if that is possible you should require a high amount of players to own a village. So if it drops below say 20, its automatically deleted. Also I think it should require some kind of daily upkeep, like gathering materials, removing random debire that might blow in, After all they will be in a wooded area. and of course a cash amount monthly*game time wise*.

We wouldn't want a village being owned by 1 person. I think a group of say 20 should be the requirement to make a village, then reward them with better stuff for the more people inside their village, 20 for a base village, 30 for more buildings or resource gathering places, etc, etc. Might add more reason for people to try and get a stronger clan with more people, instead of everyone trying to make their own for a village.

Also I would say a max of 5 - 10 player owned ones, which means a minimum of 200 players to own all, if you go with 10 that is. So if we had say 1000 people playing, it would prove interesting if someone wanted to take a village.


or if someone who owned a village, wanted to take over one that is close by, to expand their reach? Then they could appoint a clans sub-leader to own that village, while they owned the main one?

I was actually thinking of putting no limit to the amount of villages that can be built by players. As long as there are enough players in the clan, the clan leader can build a village. Let's say you have a clan of 20, and you create a village. 20 is the minimum to be allowed to build a village. Now what if people start leaving the clan, will you loose your village and all the resources you put in it? No you won't. Once you build your village, it's secured, unless your clan gets deleted. That can only happen if the member count of your clan drops below 10. If your clan gets deleted, then the village associated with it also gets deleted (including any conquered villages).

The main village is considered to be the main district of your village. It will be possible to conquer any village, but you can only attack another village once a week. After you conquer another village, it will be part of your clan's village, it'll just be a different district of the clan's village. You'll have the main district of your clan's village and the newly conquered districts of your clan's village (which are the newly conquered villages). That way every clan is only part one village, that exists out of the main district and any optionally conquered districts.

The clan leader is the obligated leader of the clan's main district, and he is by default set as the leader of any conquered districts. But he will have the option to appoint anyone in the clan as the leader of a conquered district.

Every clan will have an emblem, the village with it's districts owned by a clan will be marked on the map with that emblem. Being member of a clan automatically binds you to any village associated with it. If your clan is not member of a hidden village, then neither will you be. If your clan leader builds a village, then you'll be automatically bound to that village. Hidden villages are special in the way that they allow any clan to join them (of course this is only interesting for small clans or clans that don't have enough resources to build their own village), and they allow any clanless person to join them.

one of the best games ever, good graphics, smooth and yet so so amazing.
sorry i wanted to be part of this 

Welcome to Shinobi Life Online. Although it's not a game just yet, I'm glad you like the project

I am just asking....
is it possible for introducing creation of own clan? of course this power should be given to a very few people like 4 or 5......
Just saying....
and the hokage appointing stuff.... really nice. Keep it up Vreg!

You can only be member of one clan. And each clan can only be created if the creator has 9 people ready to become a member of that soon to be clan. Once the member count of a clan reaches below 10, a clan will get an automatic deletion. This way we avoid having to deal with a lot of junk clans. Image if we had 1000 players, then the maximum possible clans in the Shinobi Life Online universe would be 100.
