Feral Heart

Okay, so... a friend of mine has decided that he is going to re-make FH.. in his own version. With an all-new source code, new game engine, etc.

Basically, this will be FeralHeart for Unity3D. It will start out as VERY close to FH's gameplay and such, but it will recieve constant updates, unlike the original FH, which has been abandoned by the creator.

NO, we do NOT have the original source code. This game will be entirely designed from scratch.

Features:

Shadows~
This version of FeralHeart will have actual shadows. I have heard that FH was originally programmed to have shadows... but that part of the programming was never finished.

More maps, and better maps~
The maps in WH will be much more realistic and diverse than in FH. 'Fluorite' will be replaced with a large savanna grassland, with maybe even a pride rock. South Pole will be changed into a more arctic-like zone, with caves, and ice, tracks in snow, etc. Bonfire may be eliminated completely. Ficho will be an underground section of tunnels, leading to many different maps.
Atlantis will remain like it is now, but much more detailed, as with other maps. Ascension Island will be more detailed, as will Sky's Rim. Sky's Rim will be more of a dragonic type area, a place for dragon rps, mostly. More maps will be added.

Better models~
The character models will be a lot like FH's, but much more detailed and realistic, with claws added. More tails, manes, and ears will be available. There will also be a large sizing scale, meaning characters can be VERY small, like the size of a newborn kitten, or VERY big, like the size of an adult lion. This way, we won't have  cats the size of lions.

NEW models~
If you get tired of the 'realistic', or 'Pridelander' look of the current character, we will also have a more... 'outlandish' model. Kinda like Zira. We may also include actual hyena models, horses, etc.

HUNTING~

You will be able to hunt in WH. And no, it will not be IT-style hunting. You will actually ATTACK the prey realistically.

More emotes~
More emotes will be added in, along with new actions.

That is all for now. The website is located at http://wild-heart.freeforums.net
The website is still under construction, hence why there is only one board.

WH is looking for a skilled design team.

This team can consist of any of the following:
FH Texture modders~ You can do texturing of the model.

FH Interface modders~ You can help design interfaces

Basically, ANYONE who can make anything for FH, can probably work for WildHearts. Though, we are also in need of:

Programmers

Map Makers- UNITY. UNITY map designing is SOMEWHAT like FH's, but a bit more complicated.

Riggers

Animators

Scripters

Basically, anyone who can work in game design. Any and all help would be appreciated.

This is a new game that is going to begin development in the very near future.  This is based on the anime, "Death Note", but with a slight... twist.

Maps~
The maps will be mostly actual places in the world, and will probably be highly detailed and realistic. This game is not recomended for people with low-tech computers.

Plot~
In this game, the world's dominant species is no longer humans... but wolves. They still run and walk and do wolven actions, but have also evolved. They can now use their originally non-posable thumbs, and their brains have increased capacity for intelligence. They have learned how to use computers, and other communication devices. Including TV, warfare, and other such things only known to human civilization... until now.

The Races~
Of course, as is the Death Note theme, there will be a shinigami race, and a wolf race.
Shinigami: These are the wolves that have used the Death Note in life. Now, they are doomed to neither go to heaven, or hell, and live in... nothingness. However, there is that rare occasion that the death note falls to the earth, and a shinigami must descend... //Note: You can only become a shinigami by use of the death note, and then dying. Admins will be the first shinigamis.//

Wolf: The normal race. They are intelligent canines that have dominated the world. Only 1 wolf in the entire game can have the death note at a time, UNLESS an admin spawns another.  If the wolf with the death note is offline for a period of three weeks or more, their death note is dropped for another to pick up, or it is returned to the shinigami.

How the Death Note works~

Every character will have two names. Their real name, and an optional alias. If they use an alias, it is the alias that shows on their nametag. Only users with the shinigami eyes can see another's real name. To kill, you must open up the death note, and type in the real character name of the user you wish to kill, and select the cause of death. It will happen, whether they are online or not.

L?~

Yes. L will exist, as a re-incarnated wolf form. It is the same L from Death Note, only a wolf. He is played by me. No one else can be him.

Other detectives?~

Yes, there may be others working alongside L to defeat the user known as "Kira".

Will admins know who Kira is?~

No. We will not. This is to prevent godmodding and auto-assuming. No one will know who Kira is without investigation.

Who is Kira?~

"Kira" is the name given to the user with the Death Note. L and the task force are out to stop this player, whoever it may be. "Kira" in the anime was Light Yagami.

Will you be able to play as pups?

Yes, as this game is hyper-realistic in most aspects, except for the usage of the death note and existence of shinigami.

Will there be weapons and PvP?

Yes. There will be. There will be guns, knives, all sorts of things, and they can be used to kill other players. When you die... you do not respawn. You become a ghost. Best bet is to make a new character.

Will there be jails?

Of course, this is death note for shinigami's sake.

Mello, Matt, and Near?

Probably not. But I might add them in. It depends, though.

Light Yagami?

I'm sorry, but no... I am not bringing back an old Kira. All death note holders will be new faces. No more Light.

Will there be detailed blood and gore?

There will be blood. Hyperrealistic blood. But there will probably be no gore. We might add in 'blood filters' that you can turn on to reduce the blood.

More will come soon.

You may apply to be staff in this thread if you wish, but at the moment we are focused on game designers. And please, if you want to apply, be GOOD at your work.
