Genuinely, I wouldn't call FU a successor by any means; if anything, coming from an outsider perspective, due to it not being an official continuation of FeralHeart it's more of a knock-off at best. That's just my own personal view on it, though. From what I've seen they do have very talented devs, creative minds, and a drive to create. I'm just glad they're enjoying their time with it. I truly hope they treat their community well- but with that said, I'm sorry you got booted out of there. That's a real shame.
I truly wish we could show off progress too. I've tried poking the blue beast with a 100ft pole, but he still persists we keep quiet. It's a real shame and it breaks my heart that we can't share with you all. Despite this, though, I have, kinda sorta, dropped hints here and there as to what's gonna go into this update. I can share though that the stuff we have planned is a few things that should've happened a long time ago.
People do still make maps and presets~ Unfortunately I have seen most of it hidden in discord servers rather than here the game's forum, but oh well. I'm just happy to know there are still some extremely creative minds out there creating for this game.
