Yeah true, so will clan specific Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan be appearing or is this a completely different 'timeline' if you will where the Uchiha clan doesn't exist?

The game will be based in an alternate universe that is exactly the same as the Naruto universe as far as base principles go, only populated by us instead of the Naruto characters. The hidden villages will also have different names, etc. An alternate universe as I said. This means that none of the existing clans will be present. Players could always make a clan and call it the Uchiha clan, and then make that clan famous or infamous based on their actions. Players are born so to speak in one of the hidden villages, not part of any clan. Clan specific Kekkei Genkai only comes from birth, and since the players can't be born into clans, players can't have a clan specific Kekkei Genaki either. So joining a clan at a later time in the character's life obviously does not grant him/her a bloodline limit.

It's also not a different timeline I'm talking about, just a completely alternate universe with a different history. This has many advantages. One of which is that we can have our own story and not be bound to Naruto too much (I can finally let my inner writer come to surface), another advantage is that we are doing it right when it comes to copyrights.

Even the creator of all ninjutsu is going to be a player (me), but with a different name and different abilities.

Sounds good, I'd love to write some of the history of the alternate universe, I'm also an avid writer and I've already wrote a six part Naruto (I don't like the phrase 'fan fiction' but I guess that is what it is) set 50 years after Naruto and with a completely original set of characters that I've developed over time.

Wow that's impressive, I will make sure to keep you in mind when story writing needs to be done

I had already planned almost exactly what you said. At character creation you choose your primary chakra nature. After a certain level (the one equal to Jonin if you're part of a hidden village), you'll be able to choose a second chakra nature.

However, since we're simulating the Naruto Universe, I can't just give the option for everyone to get a Kekkei Genkai. I will introduce a random system that will select a couple of players and enable Kekkei Genkai for them when they reach that level of a second chakra nature. They won't get much advantage though to keep things fair.

Hey! My names Lewis my screen name is ZetsuusteZ, Gameowner4000 on Kongregate.

I stumbled across Naruto by seeing the opening 2 of Shippuden on YouTube somehow after never even watching Anime before and I've been hooked on it ever since.

I honestly can't wait to see how this project will come along as it looks so promising and I can only imagine a huge community in different clans warring for land in the near future with all custom characters with different Chakra Natures and Taijutsu techniques *Basks in glory of this project*

Anyway, goodbye 

Welcome to Shinobi Life Online! You have the exact same vision as I do for the future of this project

I got hooked on Naruto by chance as well, when I randomly saw the Lee vs Gara fight on TV. Had never watched the anime before that

Welcome to the Shinobi Life Online Forum Indeed I remember you. And yes, at some point I'll introduce custom clans that can build custom villages

I am a student though I'm trying to start my own business on the side I try to learn code I know tid bits of ruby, some java though I gave up on it cause just to much math from me xD. And was learning python some months ago. I'm thinking of sticking with python or trying to find away to practice the "C" coding stuff. To bad I wasn't good enough in whatever coding this game uses to help lol

Well the game is programmed in C#, it's very similar to Java.

Welcome to the project David

I will help if Verg needs some help starting Friday on this project. At least advertising stuff.

Help with advertising is always welcome
