Title: Community Q&A Questions
Post by: Xendrus... on March 19, 2016, 16:00:53
It's that time again my fellow Shinobi! As March comes to a close and spring coming into full swing the team of SLO has decided it'd be nice to bring back an enjoyed event from the past, the Live Stream Q&A.

There are still things to be done and plans to be arranged, such as the exact date (April 2nd), who will be participating - hopefully some new Devs, it's always nice for the community to know the creators and not just us curators - and a few other tasks. However, this also gives you guys quite some time to ask those burning questions no one has asked or to re-ask that one question you just aren't sure about.

The format will be retained from the last Q&A, but for those of you who weren't with us then or if you've forgotten the simple rules (with one addition), here they are:

That's it. Get those cogs in motion and ask away! I'll be updating this post as the date and other factors solidify.

Edit: Thank you Vipto for bringing this to my attention. Don't be afraid too much of your spelling and/or grammatical mistakes. Also, the exact date has been determined - April 2nd, 2016.

i would love to see building being destroyed when someone is fighting and trees and the ground too and maybe like after 30 min it would go back to normal. Will that be a thing or not? (im sorry my vocabulary isnt enough to explain better) .-.

What is the next step after buildings and environment? and How many ninjutsu do you want in before we see Targeting and Taijutsu?
How do you envision taijutsu and kenjutsu working and do you want customizable combos like kingdom of paradise or a button combo that activate specific animated attacks like ninja storm or a combination of both?

I have a few questions regarding the game:
1st: Will we be able to interact with characters from the show? Or will it be a completely different story with different characters?
2nd: Will there be a group of antagonists like the Akatsuki that we can join or fight against? If so, will those groups have a distinctive costume that targets them as enemies?

1. Nothing directly from Naruto will be in the game. There will also be few NPC's, the game will be player run with players building houses, making weapons, being Kage, teachers etc
2. There will be many bad groups. Hell you could even form one yourself. Again, these will be made by the players and it will be their choice to wear a distinctive costume. Their names and faces, however, might be in the bingo book. They could wear a mask in villages to hide this.

Yes to all
Spoiler: show
Sorry for going off topic by answering questions


My questions
Would it be possible to have actual players do the tutorial if they speak the same language as the new player(s)?
How many servers will there be at the start of the MMO?
Will there be instances?
How will you verify someone is actually a part of a clan in the full game and they haven't just claimed to be in a clan they're not?

1. How are you going to have the pve? Is there going to be just random shinobi AI, or have you planned for a more mmo-esque approach to that?

2. Will there ever come a time when there's set dates for the updates or will the game get updated only when there's something implemented?(will dates depend on your progress, or will you develop depending on the dates)

3. Are you going to reuse some of the building assets for other villages, or will each of them have their own distinct architecture?

4. When are you guys going to set up kick-starter? (I know that the game needs to become more popular. Just a ball park)

1) Will there be an option to capture a shinobi if they are defeated in a perma death zone, and imprison them and probably torture and kill them later?

2) Can a village be taken over by rogue ninjas and the kage removed from power?

3) Will villages have elder councils? If so how will the council members be chosen and what can they possibly do ?

4) Will there be a jutsu similiar to edo tensei (reanimation jutsu)?

If we could aim it, we could use it as a defense jutsu and attack jutsu.
Hope we will be able to aim it.

Will people who donate (like jonin level and up) be able to  play the game one or two days before release to chose whether or not they want to be a teacher, in the anbu, or rouge as well as to get a feel for missions and also if one person can elected to be the kage for the start of the game?

Will be mad af if I can't make love to ken.

I suggest kissing be a premium emote. But if you're craving sex in an MMO you should really get out more
no its just fun to see guys running around in nothing but there pants have a orgy.
so you mean like......or nvm i dont want to start something....
Saying what you said pretty much is starting something. Not that I will act on what you said because it is pathetic. Just pointing it out to you that you might as well said it because you already hinted it.

As for the whole kissing thing, idk why it can't be some sort of emote you can use on other players. Maybe add a permission filter so people like Sanji don't get kissed by all the guys trolling him. Maybe if said person receiving the kiss emote can choose to decline it and it gives off a "Turned down" emote instead of the kiss one. Personally I would love such emotes and many others. Such as a simple wave or sitting emote.

Have you planned any mechanics for capturing a village, and will doing so actually have huge effects on the politics of the shinobi world?

Would it be possible to disguise yourself as someone else to, let's say, infiltrate an org, like Roguhanta or Katakiuchi.

Is there going to be a substitution jutsu? =P

Are there going to be one handed seals?

Will there be a trident figured weapon in the final release? (Not so important but more of a personal question)

In the same style as Reminance,
Will there be Scythes in the full game usable as weapons?

In case a few people don't know what a Scythe is:

 1:When do you think (ET) will be first person mode?

2:And when First Person mode is in will it be followed by the first addition of VR eg: Oculus Rift mixed with FPM (First Person Mode)?

3:And also are you guys working on community created stores like for instance Mars ramen or will players be able to buy the shop in the final game and then add a logo onto it and customize the store?  :P

What are the developers thoughts on training skills, stamina and increasing chakra?
Will there be some kind of chakra control skill and will it affect stats and stamina?

How in depth the economy system will be?
I know that there will be mainly based on what players do, but will someone be able to invest his own money into village building development thus owning a surface of the village as his property? And maybe if that surface contains some shops he would gain a part of the profit...?

How will prisons work in SLO, as in will it be possible for a village nin to defeat a  shinobi and choose to hold them prisoner and torture them and ask for ransom and if this is possible then will rogues have an option to this as well?

Hey not development related, but rather social related. will you ever update your other media platforms like YouTube and Twitter? I saw that you updated the Indiedb page and was just curious.

Have you started on developing the mmo already, and how much longer will it take for the mmo to be out? Also do you have any idea of how to pay for the servers?
Title: Re: Community Q&A Questions
Post by: Shivraj on March 29, 2016, 12:05:25
Are you planning on adding a system for a person to become a "pirate" of the seas? Like raiding merchants that travel between the hidden snow and the mainland etc. and have your own ship with cannons, or is that going to ruin the mood/setting of the MMOARPG?

Is there going to be more to the SLO world than just the shinobi villages? Like different areas than the shinobi continent, or maybe non-shinobi villages?

Would there be a way to become a journalist in the SLO world, and will there be an option to have your OWN NEWSPAPER (cause if that's the case, fuck going rogue, I'm going journalist :D jk xD)

Old unanswered question:
"Will there be religions that you can follow and which can grant you some special techniques, like Jashin in Naruto? They will be like a different tree skill: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Shukyojutsu (Religion), etc."

I'm just wondering, will any of the villages have alliances by default or is that up to their leaders at the time?
I'm also thinking if taijutsu will have any aim assist?
Lastly which hidden village are you looking forward to creating most? I can't wait to see what you do with hidden volcano

First question: Do you like potato salad with, or without, garlic sauce?

Second question: What perks do Sennin Donators have relating to the full release of the game?

Third question: I heard our donated amount will become currency to buy cosmetics in full release. Was this ever true, or true at all?
