Hello, I just want to say thank you for clicking this thread. Before I get started, I will have a fair
warning: This topic you are about to read is very long. So if you do not like reading long posts I suggest you just click the back button on the top left corner and read another post. For those who are willing to read the long topic, then let us begin.
After three years that feral heart has been out (or four correct me if I am wrong.) Me and a couple of friends were debating whether or not we should start a series on FH. Now before any of you claim that I am copying off of Icecub's ideal, I am not. This series for feral heart was being talked about among me and couple of friends a month after feral heart was now going public. I will be giving you a bit or a long of a back story of why I have decided to announce the series to the forums so late.
The back story of the planning for the series:So as I have mention a bit above the headliner. I had said that this series was being discussed in the making 1 month after feral heart went public. Me and a couple of friends had everything set and prepared for first episode of our series. However, before we actually begin to do work in game. One of my friends. (Kairi if you know her in game). Was our recorder and video editor. I was the one who created the plots, and another friend made the settings for our series. Kairi had made her first feral heart video (Anima Libera, which is now gone on youtube due to her deleting her account on youtube.) This video was a test to see if her laptop can record feral heart or not.
It was a hit, however Kairi did not like the way it turned out. It was a bit too laggy for her taste. She wanted a laptop that can record feral heart at a smooth frame rate, and also for video editing. Once she set on her dream laptop that can handle and record feral heart, kairi started saving up money for the high priced laptop. So the series was on hiatus for the entire year due to Kairi refusing to record feral heart with her computer.
I Have to agree with her though because some scenes would probably be to much force for the laptop to handle. A year later (last year) We decided to cancel our FH series project and go with a new series for Arokai. Kairi had wrote about the series in the Arokai official site. By the time Arokai would be out, Kairi would have her laptop and we would be working on the series in game on that following weekend of it's release.
Sadly, Arokai project has seemed to be cancel or is on Hiatus by feesh (In my opinion.) We have then given up hope for the game. So we dropped the series for Arokai. In the end of summer of 2012, Kairi had officially stated on her DA that she had quit playing feral heart. My other friend had quit the project right after kairi had refuse to record the series also because she was busy in real life. It was just me, myself and I.
I had given up on the hopes of my story actually becoming a series... Until last chirstmas my mom had suggest that I should start saving up and getting me a better laptop. So... That was my next goal getting a high performance laptop and over the next eleven months. I had finally FINALLY gotten the gaming laptop that I wanted. I did a few testings with this laptop before actually announcing the series... but I am proud to say that my Hard work had paid off and now I will be introducing you to the series.
Introducing the title of the series:
The Legend of the Serengeti PrideThat's right, it is a lion pride series. So I am very sorry for the wolves and warriors out there. This series is only for African animals. Here is a fun fact though: In Arokai this series was going to star as a wolf pack. If this series becomes a success and IF I complete the whole series. Then I will be thinking about making another series featuring a pack and maybe another for warriors, but warriors might be rolled on another Animal mmorpg, due to no cat model. I have finally came up with a name of the series. At first, it was going to be called Alchoretta... But since the main character of the story had quitted FH along with her friends... There had to be changes in this series. Including a new Title... Because the story has nothing to do with "Alchoretta."
So Why not call it Serengeti since the story is mostly dealing with Africa and Lions... Also a pride... So there you have it. Now onto the story of this series. We are almost done with this article of the series in the making.
The story: The story is about two Sisters (shown in the picture above.) Named, Nahillia and Aseilli. Who were born in a northern pride. Tired of the same old life style, the sisters had dream of having to leave their peaceful pride and Join or make their own pride... In a place where it is lush green grass, plenty of food and water, and the rays of the sun beaming down of their pelt. Little did they know that their wishes would come true, when their pride was under attack by humans.
Once being driven out and moving into the Serengeti, the two females did not get a warming welcome by an outlander from a different pride that has chased one of the sisters off. Luckily, A king that ruled the main parts of the Serengeti. Had chased off the rogue and accepted the two sisters into his pride. As year went by, Nahillia and Aselli learned the way of the Serengeti pride.
They did not know that they were living a pride that is head to head with another pride. When hearing about this war between the two prides, Aseili and Nahillia decided to stick around and help the Maasai A.K.A The Serengeti protect their lands from the Tavi Outlanders. There are Many Betrayal and drama in the series.

The editing for clips would be worked on right after recording is done which is hopefully be between Friday, Saturday or Sunday. So that being said episodes should be released by the following day or through out the weekend.
Will the series be on youtube? Is this a novel or an actual series?It is an actual series, and yes it will be put on a YouTube. The series episode will be announced also on feral heart forums in the media section.
Will there be any voice acting? What about Lip sync?NO. Simply No voice acting will be taking place in this series. It is just too much work. As for Lip Sync, I am debating whatever or not the series should have lip sync or not. I am leaning onto a no side, but things might change if people want lip sync. There will be written text on the bottom of the screen for those to read like this video that Kairi had made on her other youtube channel for example:
WARNING: NOT FH RELATED. but it shown to show those who are confused about what I am doing here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L42YOb9_6c Will there be maps to download?:Sadly no... However if anyone is kind enough to make a map for my series then I will appreciate it. All players who have been accepted to role as a character in the series must know/can download maps. But until then... Maps are not confirmed at this time.
What will my character be doing?Your character will be basically expressing his or herself through various emotes/actions... Maybe even lip syncing... so there might be a bit of role playing in this.
Cool! How do I audition for the role I wish to receive?:The audition and rules about joining are below this sentence.
Auditioning: Open!Auditioning for parts are open. Only ONE person can get one role as a character, this is to make it fair for others who wish to join the series. There will be at times where I will give another role to one of the players to role as... but for a minor character. To Qualify for your part and to Verify that you had READ what I posted a question will be posted at the end of the article. I have LITTLE patience for those who are not patient. Video recording and editing is time consuming and can be very frustrating, those who are not willing to be patient might as well stop reading this article. This article is not made for you. Only patience can make this series a success.
Survey: Please copy and paste these questions down below in the comment section:
Which character you wish to role as?: (Note: Some characters are taken so not every character is available.)
1.
Why do you think you are the perfect match for this character's role?:2.
Are you a very patient person?:3.
Are you busy on the weekends?:4.
Are you above the age of 13? (if I find out that you are not 13 years old or older, then you will not be allowed to work in my series):5.
Are you active on Feral heart?:6.
What is your GMT= your time zone?7.

What was the last thing I had said in the topic before moving onto the Auditioning?:Good luck to all! c: I hope to get the intro and episode one done by next weekend! ^^ If you have any questions feel free to write a comment.
Update 9/30/13:So, after sometime I have gotten a few complaints from those who are not above the age of 13 and up, who wish to join the series. I have of course consulted with them, but I had also told them that I will talk it over about removing the age setting for our series. The reason for putting an age limit is because we felt that it may stir up some problems, because the series do have some inappropriate material that parents would not want to watch their kid to be watching, and at the fact that since we are using feral heart for our production... We have to give the game some credit in our series, which again would most likely redirect adults to this site and bash on the admins and mods.
I felt bad that I had to reject some people because of their age group, but finally after a this whole week debating with my friend. She finally had decided to give me the okay sign to say this. You guys asked for it, so I am proud to say that we will now let 12 and under to join.
However you still need to follow rules on here and also need a skype.
And no, for those who are concerned that we will be webcaming, or voice chatting. We will not be doing any of that. It is just to keep all of us connected in a group chat.
Announcements for those who had qualify for a character's role will be announced on the 28th of September! So good luck to those who get their part they wanted.
Please remember the best way to get the part you so desire is the way how you describe why does getting that character role is a perfect match for you?
**UPDATE 10/7/13**just a small update of pictures of characters that did not had a photo... Since there were little of auditioning the group had to make these characters... Their roles are still available for the taking. It is just now they have an appearance. Also color description has now been deleted... I will be submitting a photo of queen char maybe later on.
