Spoiler warning! I'll be going into plot stuff for Arc 3! So for the 4 people out there that actually care about the plot we have going on, this is a spoiler warning!
So I was talking to some players about their feedback on the map, and I realised that I didn't actually explain what Arc 3 is about and there were some confusion about what was going on, so yeap haha, this is as good a time as any to explain what's going to happen in Arc 3!
Plot and timeline
Arc 3 will begin shortly after the Great Ninja War, Kaguya has been defeated and the various villages are recovering from their loses after war. As Saru mentioned before, there is now an influx of refugees after the destruction. The main character will take this time to leave Konoha to start his own village, one step closer to rebuilding his clan.
Goals
So for arc 3, there are 3 main goals our MC will have to acheive:
-Find a way to keep the village safe forever
-Keep the village alive
-Find new allies with powerful chakra to power something
The village
The village will be your new base, and you will be upgrading it to get more items, allies and other things.
-You will need to defend your village against certain threats
-There will be a change in the combat system (hopefully it's more interesting)
Allies
The Bread and Butter of Jikage Rising haha. So at the start, only a handful of your allies will join you in the village, because suddenly having 20 highly trained and reputable female kunoichi joining a village that no one has heard of at once in go a will be uh, "suspicious" to say the least. Taking account into the feedback that we got for Arc 2, there will be more flexibility on who to "invite" to your village. For example, Sakura won't be joining you at the start of the game, but once you build the Hospital, you will be able to formally "invite" her to join your village.
As of now, all Arc 1-2 character will be able to join the village, with those in more important positions having a slightly different condition.
There will also be new characters joining the village, but the list will be confidential for now, after all, it's more fun to keep it a surprise haha.
There are a bit more stuff planned, but I think it's best to keep it under wraps for now, at least until we're sure most of the current stuff is finalised / works as intended!
