I believe Gamahiro is finishing a similar game like this for OPB but in php, when it's out you can go try it out there.

Well if it was made for premium members only, it wouldn't be charging money or it, it would be charging money for premium membership, and having this be an added benefit of paying for premium. The reason I say premium only is because it would boost sales, and something like this wouldn't be free or easy to make, so therefore so sort of income would need to be generated, even if just enough to pay for the game itself with no extra profit.

well as Kage ryuu said a fortune could be made from all the people who would go premium for this, but thats illegal

How would it be any different than the system they have of charging for premium membership? There are millions of games on the internet people charge money for. And if its made from scratch, and the creators are careful about what images and names are used, then whats the big deal? Plus as I said, it wouldn't be selling the game, it would just be giving premium members something new. Its not directly selling the game itself.

its different since premium here doesnt apply to the naruto part of nb. if you needed premium to read manga and view anime, then itd be the same as what youre saying. since the game is based on naruto, needing to pay so you can play the game would be illegal

It's an already made game, but it takes shitloads of work to even actually set it up, not to talk about keep it running. Not to mention that it costs like 80 € too. You have to put in all the moves, characters, items, what functions the items have, how things interact. Even when using a ready built game engine to create a game, its several months worth of work.

Creating a simple math program where you have x and y which are 2 random numbers between 0 and 9, and you have a textfield, where you input the answer for x*y = " " is around 400 lines of coding. And sometimes the code is wrong, and you have to find out what is wrong.

Creating an RPG game, turn based or not, would be like 1 million lines of coding in java, at least. The "login" screen alone would be around 2000 lines.

Writing that much code, and getting it to work properly, would take over a year for 1 person.
(The numbers are rough estimate). 2 person -> 6 months. 4 person 3 months. Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup.
(I'm counting up to 3 hours a day)

I don't think anyone would want to put that much time and effort into something like that. If you want it so much, I suggest you learn Java or Flash, and do it yourself.

Even using a ready built engine, it would require a lot of time, money and effort. Time, money and effort that could have been put into more important things.

It's not a bad idea, but neither is wanting 1 billion dollars.

I like the idea allot, I've wanted to do some rp, but with the current text system i get that too late for the party sense. In no way could i build such a game, but if someone can, I'd certainly give it a go.

So only people with premium would be allowed to RP now? How is that fair?

I like the idea bro.

Make it like kinda oldschool pokemon blue/red battle style, except like add the player vs player element into it.

You could have unlockable jutsus and ones that can only be given by certain people etc

There are a lot of java based games online, Naruto Base is a forum and what we do here is Forum based role play.. adding Java script will ruin the awesome purpose and will limit the strategies and extreme minds to almost nothing. With text base RP you not only RP but you learn a lot, using script is like cutting down ur brain power to 10% from 90%. Totally disagree with the suggestion because it will end up destroying the forum based system ^^

Is this an outlet to let NB know we need more entertainment?

It is like bringing an elephant into a house only to get more guests.


This is only an anime forum. Someone's going to have to maintain and update it. If they left, we'd have to find someone else! Ditching the new system would be a waste, so the whole RP would crash down.


All this for what? Novelty? Text is more versatile.
