Feral Heart

Hello guys! I have been here since 2011 and have loved Feralheart relentlessly. It's honestly a shame to see members dying out, so I have invented some things that might revitalize this wonderful game. Just a warning now, some of these ideas might seem radical or a bit far-fetched, but they are only suggestions to help this game thrive like it once did. My answer? Diversify the roleplaying experience. I believe that with a bit of work, we can become a central roleplaying hub for all to enjoy.

1. Expand and diversify the maps
I know there are independent content creators that have many maps for us to download, but there is one observation I, as well as many others, have probably noticed: when the new maps rolled out, we lost quite a few members. There are many explanations for this. Some people were probably angry, not everyone adapts to change well. Admit it, Fluorite Plains has a certain nostalgia that cannot be replaced; Even if the new maps are beautiful, they don't contain the nostalgia that the old maps did. I don't want to ramble endlessly, so here is my solution for this: if we still have the old map files, add them. Do not delete these new maps because they are quite beautiful and have become the new homes for many, but add another portal in Lonely Cave that takes you to the old maps. Here is another radical map-related idea:

Add new, diverse maps. My ultimate solution to revitalize FH is to give true incentive for people to join us. Create diverse maps, like savannas and deserts and human maps and horror maps: I'm thinking of Dragons Den as reference because they have a ton of maps that allow for many different roleplaying situations. I bet you're asking, "you can download maps like that!", but not everyone knows how to download maps, and many people would prefer these maps to be default so everyone can enjoy them and have the same experience.

2. Expand and diversify the character experience
Again, we have tons of potential here. Create human models, bear models, hooved models, for all to enjoy. That way, people who prefer human roleplaying can feel included too. Yes, I know you could "make a human" out of a canine, but that isn't the same. And I know Feral Heart was intended to be for animals, but I'm simply tossing ideas that can encompass a larger crowd of players. In order to thrive, we have to excite people, and lure people in. I also strongly believe we should expand the markings so that we don't need to install them from independent creators. Again, not everyone knows how. Even if it can be easily explained, it's still better to have an array of things as default. For Dragons Den, you don't have to go hunting for exciting content, it's already there. I hate to keep referring to them, because they've shrunk tremendously too, but if you want me to be honest, I overall prefer Dragons Den to Feral Heart because of the diversity they have with character creation and maps. I prefer the Feral Heart community and the interface and the fact that it doesn't crash, but Dragons Den has the upper hand with in-game content.

People are switching to Discord for roleplaying, and it makes me wonder why. I'm not trying to be offensive, and I don't feel this way myself, but a pretty good guess is that Feral Heart is getting boring. Especially once your friends die out, and you're just chilln' by yourself in TG, almost dead silence. I bet more people would get online if there were things to explore. I'm not saying to make a million maps like DD has, but at least spice things up a little bit!

Basically, if you don't feel like reading all that, my idea is......

Expand and Diversify.

Hello! I am looking for more experience so I'm willing to make some presets for free. I can't do anything too fancy but am willing to try! I'll post some samples of presets I've made. I can do felines and canines.

disclaimer: I do NOT take credit for any textures or eyes. Credit goes to the rightful owners. I don't know them off the top of my head but can retrieve them if necessary. Buried in my files!

To make things simpler, if you want a preset, just message me, because I am going to ask a bunch of questions regarding specifications. Or you can reply here and I'll message you.

I will finish the preset rather quickly, and will work on a first come first serve basis.

SLOTS:
1) Daimondrose
2) Nawazish
3)open

I will reopen the slots for grabs once I'm done with the existing ones.

A character of mine, Soteris


My other character, Benji side 1


Benji, side 2


A preset I made for a friend


A jackal I made (yes, i know it doesn't really look like a jackal LOL)


A random one I made, yes the mane is messed up, but I know how to fix it now.

Hello, so I want to texture an object I have. It's solid white right now and I can't find any tutorials on how to texture an object. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I've been requesting a lot of stuff lately! I need some terrain/ground textures because I deleted the entire game and now only have the vanilla textures. I'm not asking anyone to make the textures, I know downloadable textures exist, but I suck at finding them. Here's what I need:

-The one I really want is one I can't remember. All of the textures began with an E, it was a name of some sort, and there were over 30 of them. It was like Edinos or something like that, I wish I could remember

- Need a variety of nice, seamless grass textures, unique ones It's for a medieval forest map. Both realistic and kinda cartoony accepted
- Need some sort of rock or brick texture, anything that would make a good pathway (medieval)
- Finally, need some dry grass textures or any kind of dirt or rock or anything else unique you might know of! This is for the river-bottoms and the tunnel-like area in my map

Seamless is preferred

Thank you for anyone who can help find these! I think something's wrong with my DA because I can hardly find anything anymore when DA used to have tons of FH stuff

I don't know why it's so hard for me to find meshes but I can't lol. All I need are:

- That one deer-hide mesh for bedding/rug (I can't find it anywhere!)

- That one lava-y brick structure thing that kinda looks like a blacksmith stand

- Any other medieval meshes you guys may have! I already have some buildings but could use more if you have any cool ones!

**Please have the object file included and I prefer zip to rar, I don't know how to use object maker and I no longer have rar**
