Ok I know you plan to have all the villages, and such. But in my opinion if you make clans enabled, you should have empty villages, in which clans could claim, and have their emblems show up on banners/flags. In which players can go back to have say vaults to store stuff.

How I think it could get set up.

Clans require 5 players.
Ability to claim a village, 10members.
Clans can fight over villages, doing sieges on villages.
If you have different type of ninjas; Medics, combat, etc. Allow them to have some they can "cloak" the village to hide it, which would require a ninja of equal to higher level, use a jutsu to "dispel" the cloaking, before they can siege/raid the village.
Have a online/ingame map, that updates the clan owned areas, so people can see if they are friendly, neutral, or evil.

Wow Krack, I really like that idea. The clan system and player owned villages, of course that last one would cost the clan a lot of money. A village doesn't build itself. And you'd be able to attack other villages to conquer them, help villages or just stay neutral. This could then result in big clans owning many villages and awesome wars.

But then there's also the hidden villages like Konoha and such, which are property of the game and not the players. Anyone can choose to just be a member of one of the hidden villages. Players can't own those villages, but a player can be appointed as the leader. He has to be voted for Kage by the members of that village. Only the hidden villages can have Kages. Being member of a clan does not bind you to a village, being member of a village is a personal choice. Although building a village requires for you to be the leader of a clan with at least 20 players. We don't want junk villages all over the place.

Wars with hidden villages can only be organized by some system. Player owned villages can attack and get attacked at any time.

Since we have the akatsuki in the original series we should have the ability to create an elite group of ninjas you know the ones who have hit a reasonably high level. The other thing I wanted to say was that for sprinting we should have a time limit and a sprint toggle button causes the need to keep pressing shift. For a few people it is hindrance.Hope this helps!

Your character will become elite after some time of playing the game. What you decide to do with your character after that point is up to you. Whether it's trying to destroy villages or protect them.

Sprinting will consume chakra, so you can't use it all the time. About the sprinting controls, it might be a good idea to introduce some sort of lock button for when you're sprinting. This would mean that you could point towards a direction with the movement keys and your character would keep running into that direction in sprint mode. I think something like that can come in handy when you're traveling long distances.

I'm sure something around that will happen in the future, but atm I have other priorities.

Because I don't want a "simulation"? :/ But whatever, your game, I just won't care about it

If you're looking for storyline only, you should check out the playstation Naruto games.

Welcome to Shinobi Life Online I'm afraid I'll have to dissapoint you, this project has the goal of eventually becoming an MMO.

Actually, seals on Shinobi Life Online were originally programmed to the numeric keypad. Why did I change it? Because when you use the numeric keypad, certain buttons shut down. This causes all kinds of unwanted twerks in-game.

What do you mean certain numbers shut down? Are you sure you just weren't hitting the num lock key?

No lol, no accidental numlock hits. Here's an example: If you press and hold shift, pressing a key from the keypad disabled that shift temporarily. Not only that, the numeric key does not get registered as pressed. Therefore running and doing a seal results in the character just walking and nothing more.

By using letters on the keyboard, this problem does not occur. It's not that bad.

T Y U I O P
G H J
V B N

Those are the keys that will be linked to the seals. They work both for Azerty and Qwerty.

1. bird T
2. boar Y
3. dog U

4. dragon G
5. ox H
6. tiger J

7. snake V
8. rat B
9. horse N

10. monkey I
11. hare O
12. ram P

That's ^ an official list of how the seals will look on the keyboard.

When the forum gets more people, I'll make a Naruto board.
