I am pleased to announce that I'm almost ready to create the article! :)

Here is the latest content update:

Feral Heart is an animal MMORPG with feline and canine characters. The player gets to create their own character and explore various maps that make up the game as well as talk to other players. Many people play games together too.

====History====
Feral Heart was created by KovuLKD. The game came out at the end of 2010. At the start, it only had a few markings and maps. Party chat was added in June 2011. Stretch and roar/howl animations weren't added until July 2011. Feralheart+ (aka feralistic) was released near the end of 2011, it included improvements to the maps as well as high resolution textures. A patch with new emotes and bugfixes was released in December 2011, and the game became available on Macs. The patch also included wings and new maps. Kovu finished work on the game sometime in 2012.

====Maps====
===Lonely Cave===
A cave where no other players appear. Your own private home of sorts. It has a single den and signs with the rules and useful game info.

===The Grounds===
Most people tend to hang out in this savannah map and chat.

===Cape of Distant Worlds===
A map where it is always night. It connects the Lonely Cave to your own private maps.

===Fichno Tunnels===
A series of tunnels that connect The Grounds to Cherika Vally and Kibou Ridge.

A map with a lot of rocks and trees. It also has a waterfall, some ponds, and a beach.

===Cherika Valley===
A large valley that is great for playing hide-and-seek.

===Kibou Ridge===
A beautiful snowy mountain range with valleys, dens, a stream, some campfires, and even a single glowing crystal. This map was created by Lady_Alizaran. The cave paintings in the dens have inspired various players to come up with lore about the game itself.

===Kiwimba Beach===
A beautiful beach that also has some waterfalls.

===Zama Grotto===
A series of beautiful underwater caves.

===Bonfire Islands===
A group of islands that have waterfalls and campfires.

I could use some more info for the map descriptions, if anyone has any ideas. I've already taken a picture of each map.

make sure you utilize the actual format/structures that come with the wiki and to keep it organized

maybe ditch the 'fancy' signage unless it's a bulletin.

Actually, what I posted is the "source code" for the wiki. The "=" and "*" get converted to headings and bullet points. XD

good lad.

i only said it because i see people do that on normal forums for the sake of it looking COOL and RAD and HIP and instead it just looks like a failed attempt at being pretentious.

Here are a few recommendations!

===Lonely Cave===
A cave where no other players appear. Your own private home of sorts. It has a single den and signs with the rules and useful game info.
I would also mention that Lonely Cave is the map that you first spawn in at. Maybe this:
"A map where you first spawn in at where no other players appear. Your own private home of sorts. It has a single den and signs with the rules and useful game info." ??

===Cherika Valley===
A large valley that is great for playing hide-and-seek.
"A large valley full of pines and oaks, dens, and even a mysterious temple structure that is great for playing hide-and-seek."

Plus some spelling fixes:
Kiwimba Beach is actually Kiwimbi Beach
And Fichno Tunnels is Ficho Tunnels ^^

Heh heh, sorry, but I have to bring it up here since this thread is about marketing...

I play iRacing - an online motor racing simulator - race cars are moving marketing billboards and of course people love painting their cars up with different colors and different logos - who would be the correct person to ask about getting permission to race with Feral-Heart on the side of some of my cars on iRacing? Now before you say... "eh... I don't think marketing to people who play motor racing games is the right kind of audience," truth is that I know there are quite a few furries who play the game and also many of these races are broadcast/live streamed on YouTube where there is a younger audience. For the record, I have been known to race with my "Machungwa63" logo on the side of my car to try and promote my YouTube channel with Lenny the lion, etc. although I don't know how well that's worked... but the car looks neat:



So yeah... back to my original question... who would be the correct person to get permission from to put Feral-Heart on an iRacing car?
I make FH movies on YouTube! Be sure to check them out and subscribe at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx0ehjAstAokZb3BBgs61uA

Does anyone actually hold the copyright to Feral Heart anymore?
