#reboot project

Some explanation: I'm a huge fan of Minecraft Story Mode and have always dreamed of making the game playable again for everyone. So after a lot of thinking and I mean A LOT, I've devised a plan. Minecraft Story Mode is a choose-your-own-adventure show with extra steps. Netflix proved that you could take the extra steps away and still get something half decent. With that in mind, I hope to make a YouTube channel dedicated to Minecraft Story Mode and make it playable. You can link videos at the end of a video, meaning it would take "players" to their next action.

I adore VLD Allura, but just like her original version, I feel she never get the chance to be fully explored. So in my reboot things would like this.

Appearance: I would kept VLD basic design, cause I loved black Allura and I believe she should, at least, be dark skin from now on. So I would change some details like add more African characteristics as thick limps, bulky shape and hair would be more curly. Ah, and her hair would be short, so we can have the best of two worlds: practical haircut and still appreciated her curls. 

Personality: She wouldn't be so serious and distant most of the time. Actually I think she would be more cheerful, optimistic and confident. She thinks is important for a leader keep the team motivated and make them believe they can do it. But reboot Allura is like a fusion of Anna and Elsa (frozen), so deep down she feel she have to hide her fears and uncertain to keep everyone calm and focus.  

She is kinda Michael (good place) dealing with mess. Pretend everything is under control but freaking out inside

Background: Well, Altea continue as a destroyed planet. It happened when she was a child (I gonna give more details in another post). But she was sent to a ship with  survivors. So, in my universe, Allura is the princess regent in charge of keep left Altean alive in a giant city-ship (like Macross) while they are hidden from Galra Empire waiting the lions return to them stop to live as fugitives. I think this cool cause it give Allura already a position as leader and previous experience before Voltron arrive. And as royal she already understand things are not black and white, her people are not saint and galras aren't demons as well. She has a mature view about her enemies, that is why she say loud her issues are with Zarkon not with Galra race.

Relationship with Lotor: I already talked about the basis of this relationship in reboot Lotor post. So, some more details. In the beginning, Lotor is in good terms with Zarkon, what means his squad is in charge to capture Voltron. But in the process, Allura will notice he is not so determinate in defeat them. The more encounters they have more she sees his lack of motivation can make him an ally material. And she kinda feel something different in him (I will explain this "chosen thing"better in lions post). He is stoic and suspicious while she is more friendly, strategic and persuasive. Lotor doesn't underestimate her and know she is far for be the naive girl that Zarkon and Sendak think she is. Their friendship have rom-com elements: mutual implication but yet implicit respect and admiration. He quickly learn how to read her and push her to be sincere with him, and mainly, with herself. He is the only person she doesn't mind in show the tired and frustrated face that she is always hidden from paladins. She get the habit to try make him laugh, not a mean or sarcastic laugh, a true laugh. It will be hard but she will accomplish this mission. 

Hi fellow Arc fans on Tumblr! It’s Aruru again.

I tweeted about the item linked above already on my personal account there, so I’ll try to keep the first points of this post brief (on mobile right now).

The above link posted leads to the initial tweet from the official Twitter account for the new Arc game, as well as a link to the series’ new website: https://arcthelad.com (only has the same teaser image as the tweet for now).

From what I was able to understand, we will finally hear some new information on July 30 in Japan (therefore, for many of us, the announcements will likely fall on the 29th).

We’ll keep an eye out for things, but I’d definitely recommend that anyone with a Twitter account that you follow theirs and check their website.

Also, consider RTing other fans, adding your own supportive comments, and search/use hashtags like #ArcTheLad or #アークザラッド while there. (You can send me a DM on my main account, or send a message via Ask if you wish to let us know how to find you/your tweets on the topic over there.)

——

Now, for some updates/announcements related to the fanblog:

- We’ve NOT forgotten or abandoned this Tumblr project at all.

- We have continued having some issues of some kind at this point. (Mod Aruru notes: Much in my particular case has been related to the aftermath of hurricane Maria, but we’re not going into that here.)

- We’re still committed to sharing with everyone why we love the Arc series, and reblogging and linking that we find of interest outside Tumblr, though we might be changing some things (or how we go about them) a bit.

- The reason I say “we” now is because one of the things I’ve been delayed in announcing is that there is now a co-mod: Please welcome Sparrow, aka @rainhawk! (Among the things we’re hoping to do is work on possibly searching out and translating harder-to-acquire information on Arc-related topics.)

- We might be interested for others to join this Tumblr. If somone wishes to discuss it with us, send an Ask, email, etc!

- We’ve also been working/talking on a Discord server for a bit. A few of you who’d heard about it already have joined, too, and we’re all seeing out other fans to hang with. If interested, keep an eye on us here, or send a message/Ask in the meanwhile for details ahead of time.

- We’ve also made acquaintance with Mr. Jigen, current admin of the Arc the Lad Wiki (http://arcthelad.wikia.com), and trying to assist him there. Please consider joining any/all of us there too if you wish to help out!

Anyway, thank you all for your time reading this post! I hope to hear from you, and let’s keep tabs on the upcoming news!

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend!

For the first of tonight’s updates, I wanted to help keep everyone informed of the status of the previously announced Arc mobile game to be released as part of the “Reboot Project” for it and the Wild Arms series.

While currently there is still no new actual information or details about the project (or the Wild Arms title, for that matter), for those of you who wish to keep track on the matter personally, fellow Tumblr user @tan-yal-son has located the placeholder pages on appget.com and 4Gamer.net for the game.

From these, I have located the ForwardWorks website (already working, though no new information there either) and the site for AltPlus, the developer working with them on the Arc mobile title. (English version of site here.)

While there is no information at all on Arc or the Reboot Project itself present anywhere on the AltPlus site, it is worth noting that this developer has already worked in developing titles for mobile gaming, including the most recent entry in Square Enix’s SaGa series, one of the Idolm@ster games (with male idols insead of women) for Bandai Namco, and a BL visual novel, among others. (If anyone has experience with any of the titles listed on their site and would like to share your thoughts on this developer, please feel free to reply/reblog!)

If I hear of any new developments I will try to keep readers posted. Let’s hope we hear more information soon!
