Hello everyone,
Since the closing of ARCS some of you may be wondering how we plan on regrowing upon the group re-opening.
While we will not discuss this, we do plan on telling you our new development process and a little bit about why we have closed. I will also do a FAQ at the end.
So ARCS was closed due to mainly the group being dead. But also because we weren’t going to be able to honour our game deadlines to meet your expectations, to which we are deeply sorry. HOWEVER! We are going to come back. Bigger than ever. We will officially have our own site and will have everything we need in it. From departmental spawns to other things. This site will be catered to our needs. Now look, the final product will not be the most fanciest thing out there, but we are trying to create you the best experience we can offer with the team we currently have.
THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
- We are building the site from scratch first - Everything will be made by us and will not be bought assets.
- All departments will have a spawn (YES EVEN TSO).
- The site will be scripted mostly after development but will be somewhat done during the building process.
- UI’s will be made
- Morphs will most likely be completely rehauled although some might stay the same, such as the OD morphs. This being said, the morph system will need to be replaced and adjusted.
Please note that it was previously mentioned that this game would be our “roleplay” experience, however this will not be the case. This site will be our realism site and will NOT contain any “roleplay”.
- That was only a VERY brief rundown of the development plan.
FAQ:
Q: Can I have my old rank back?
A: Unfortunately we will not be giving roles back as this would defeat the purpose of ARCS having a complete closure. But the application will be open shortly after the release of the site and you will have the oportunity to apply for a rank and department of your choice.
Side note: Cloud will be the only person to remain in their previous position.
Q: When are you going to open back up?
A: As one of the main reasons we closed were because we couldn’t meet deadlines, we will not be dignifying this question with a response so that we may not come to the same ending.
Q: Are you looking for HR’s again?
A: No. We are working on a new HR system. Nothing else is going to be discussed about this.
Q: Wheres your server?
A: We dont have one. It was deleted. It will come back just before the game release.
Q: What type of weapons system will you be using?
A: We are learning towards a TPS system however this could change.
Q: Will the site be “open world” or just a single site?
A: We will be doing and Open World type site.
Thats it for now. Thanks for reading, we will not be answering any more questions as this answers most of the general stuff.
