#1 Official thread for Soul-Arena Well since there are new staff, its only right that there should be a new topic too. With the previous staff being inactive/dropping out, We have got new staff and started the project again, many of you have waited Soul-Arena for a long time, and although some has eagerly been waiting for it release, its has also been a disappointment for some as the it has taken awhile. But know this, there will be a Soul-Arena and it will be a dream come true. Also we would like to thank the previous staff for the work they have done, props for them. News and Announcements The ladder and roster are done,and updates to other things as well. New Staff Project Managers: Spirit in Black and Raizen-1 Character Design and Balance: Kostas and ZelosWilder Missions for Locked Characters: Kamatari and Leychance Images: pacman9269 and Leychance Artist and Designer: Nolith The coding would be left to Gametester and Mark as usual though. Game Progress Ladder Rankings = 100% Character Roster = 100% Unlocked Character Design, Skills and Description = 100% Locked Character Design, Skills and Description = 100% Missions and details for locked characters = 100% Images for character profiles and skills = 100% Artwork = 95% Coding process Site Development 90% Forum Development 70% InGame Development 90% Character Coding 90% Mission Coding 95% Frequently Asked Questions Is the game free? yes, of course, duh!!! Is there an Estimated release date? Around early January, please note that we would really not like to rush things as we would want to make the game bug free as possible. I am pretty sure you guys would want a quality well made game rather than rushed game with bugs, of course we wont promise it would be 100% bug free, since a random bug might appear every now and then. What is Soul-Arena based on? Soul-Arena is based on the anime/manga called "Bleach". If you don't know what that is, Google or check Wikipedia -> click Is it gonna be the same as Naruto-Arena? yes, the core engine would be the same, but the character designers have taken their best to make every character unique. The dull teams of NA such as Perma AoE teams, or Perma Stun teams, will not be as prominent. Instead a wider variety of skills and effects will exist. Is Luapman the character designer of Soul-Arena too? No, as for now, Kostas and ZelosWilder will be doing the character designs and balance changes. I want to help, can I join the staff? No, please don't ask or pm us, as its really distracting, if we feel a need to recruit more staff, we will ask them personally. Will there be Beta testing? Most likely but plans for such would be made later, so don't ask about it. Is SA having its separate forum, can I be a mod there? Yeah SA is having its separate forum, and no, dont ask to be a mod. For more information, pm Spirit in Black, if you feel the need that a question and answer should be added to the FAQ, pm Raizen-1. 1/7/09 New Info With SA's release looming over the horizon it was time we actually gave out some concrete info. This info is very unlikely to change so take it as fact. How many characters will there be? 31, 5 will be unlocked from the get go, 26.5 will be locked. Why so few unlocked characters? It was a majority decision, SA is a new game and due to the lesser amount of characters in it than NA it was only normal to have a smaller amount of unlocked characters. Also we don't want people to finish every mission right away, we want SA to be long lived. How will the missions work? Similarly to NA, the initial SA missions are much easier than the initial NA ones. By the first hour or two of SA it won't be a suprise to see an unlocked character. The later missions will of course get harder all the way up to the hardest missions we currently have. Our plan is by the time people reach the harder missions newer ones will be released, this way people will always have missions to do. What will SA be using as chakra? Like NA we have 4 types, those are: Hakuda Reiryoku Kidou Zanpakutou All are terms from Bleach by the way. What will be the character roster? Unlocked Kurosaki Ichigo Kuchiki Rukia Inoue Orihime Sado Yasutora Ishida Uryu Locked Kon Grand Fisher Don Kanonji Abarai Renji Shiba Ganju Kukaku Shiba Yamada Hanataro Izuru Kira Isane Kotetsu Momo Hinamori Ikkaku Madarame Yumichika Ayasegawa Nemu Kurotsuchi Kurotsuchi Mayuri Zaraki Kenpachi Kuchiki Byakuya Bankai Abarai Renji Komamura Sajin Tosen Kaname Ichimaru Gin Yoruichi Shihoin Soi Fong Hitsugaya Toshiro Bankai Ichigo Bankai Kuchiki Byakuya Aizen Sousuke Revised Sneak Preview Aizen, Gin, Yoruichi and Zaraki were initially given a sneak peak, their skills, aside from Zaraki were changed or balanced, here they are now. Sword Barrage Gin deals 15 physical damage to one enemy each turn for 3 turns. During this time Shoot to Kill, Shinsou is improved and deals 10 more physical damage, and if that enemy uses a skill they will take 5 physical damage. This skill will end if Gin uses Hawk Eye. 1 Hakuda, 1 Random 2 Cooldown Yoruichi Flash Cry Yoruichi concentrates high-pressure spiritual energy around her body allowing it to be fired at one opponent. One enemy target will take 40 reiatsu damage. Yoruichi gains 1 hakuda reiatsu and becomes invulnerable for 1 turn. 1 Hakuda, 1 Kidou 3 Cooldown Zaraki Kenpachi Taunt Kenpachi provokes the enemy team to protect his team from his enemies. For 2 turns, all enemies deal 5 less physical and reiatsu damage and all enemy skills and actions will be reflected to Kenpachi. This skill ignores invulnerability. If Kenpachi dies this skill ends. 2 Random 4 Cooldown Aizen Sousuke Absolute Hypnosis Aizen plunges his enemies in total confusion with his hypnosis. For 3 turns all enemy skills have their reiatsu cost changed to 3 random. During this time Shatter, Kyouka Suigetsu will not cost any reiatsu and will not have a cooldown. 1 Zanpakutou, Reiryoku, 1 Random 5 Cooldown Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. ||| My Showcase ||| Thanks Kamatari for the sig. ||| Quote by Knightmayre "You want proof Akatsuki is awesome?
