Short introduction for idea
click >
If there's something I always noticed when I was seeking for roleplays, was the lack of groups that accepted multi-species. Specially if you don't play with the most common types of animals, you will struggle finding a group to accept you, which kinda of "forces" you to create a specific character to join.
And I mean, that's not a bad thing, I understand why group leaders would like to regulate which types of characters join their roleplay, specially for groups based on packs or prides of the same species of animals. But this does means that some more specific-types of characters will rarely ever find their place in a roleplaying group, which can effectively "kill" a character.

 Have you ever created that different species of animal, but never got to play as them since you never found a group they would fit in?
 Have you wanted to play as the weird-one out?
 Maybe you are the leader of a roleplaying group and needs someone to interpret an extremely specific role, but have a hard time finding people who roleplays that kind of character?

Don't get what I'm saying? I'll give you an example then:
Say you are the owner of a WC-inspired roleplaying group, and you also interpret one of the clan leaders. All of the clans already have a good number of members distributed equally, and everything is fitting nicely. But there's something lacking: there's a lore where in one of the clans, the deputy of the clan befriended a crow, and is secretly stealing some part of the fresh-kill to exchange with the crow for some information about the other clans! But since all of the players of your roleplaying group only roleplays as cats, there's no one to roleplay as the crow which resort you to the boring NPC-style of roleplaying. But that's not what you wanted! You wanted the crow to be a different, unique character with a personality just like everyone else in the group!

 

Wouldn't it be far more insteresting if someone roleplayed that "specific but unusual character"? But you know that opening a single spot just to find someone to fill that roleplaying niche would be frustrating.

So what is my suggestion?
To make it easier for you to finally find a roleplay where your character can fit in, or for you to find someone you think will fit nicely in your group, I proppose to you: The Character Advertising Board!
Where instead of you having to go after a group and send them your character's info and roleplay sample, you put your character's info and roleplay sample for THEM TO INVITE YOU!

How would it work?
You, the owner of the character, would create a thread where you mandatorily would have to make a relatively short bio for your character AND make a roleplay sample which would be publicly available for others to see. Group leaders seeking for specific-types of characters would look at your character's description and see if they think you would fit in their group or not. If they find your character appealing, or think you would fit a specific niche, they would PM you seeing they were interested in your character and ask if you want to join. Then, after you see what their group is about, you may decide if you want to join or not!


A REALLY Short example where someone would advertise their character:

Name: Ciel, (Named as "LostFeather" by the local warrior cats)
Species: Crow, or any type of corvid character
Gender: Male
Personality: "A shady and greedy bird, but with a good heart for those he trusts!"
 
Character specifications: I do have a backstory for this Ciel, but I won't mind changing it to fit a character niche for a roleplay.

Character preferences: I'll only join Warrior Cats's style of groups, as some short of untrustable unexpected-spy type of character! I'll may also join wolf packs too. I only do feralheart-only roleplays.
Character limitations: I won't join fantasy, big cats, human or magic-style of groups!

Description: Like an ordinary corvid, he's a small, dark-grey (almost black) bird with a lighter coloured beak! He also lacks one of his fingers, as it was cut on a kite's string accident. I use a preset! It can be found here: "insert preset url"
Picture of character In-game: "insert picture here"


Roleplay sample: "Insert roleplay sample here"

It would work something like this. I know there are the character's board and group roleplay board, but they are not enginered specificaly for someone who have a character wanting to join.

What do you think of this idea? Do you think it would work?

Request Other Mods/Creations / Deer/Reindeer .MP3 file for Roar/Howl
« on: November 17, 2018, 01:21:55 pm »
The subject is quite explanatory. I need a mp3 for deer or caribou to substitute the default howl and roar. If anyone know a mod that does that, link me please.

Game Discussion / Discord-Only Vs. FH Roleplays
« on: November 11, 2018, 12:51:26 pm »
So, there is something that have been bothering me a lot.

As time has passed, more and more people has been opting for Discord based roleplays, where all the roleplaying happens within the more convenient, non-limiting chatbox of the software/website. Which well, I don't blame then, in-game Roleplaying can be hard, and being able to post during a trip or in the work does have it's advantages.

Warning: If you don't want to see my rant, don't click the spoiler button
spoiler
But let me say one thing I've been seeing A LOT.



So it's Saturday. You are finally free and have been craving some good RP, so you go to the forum ingame and search in the roleplay advertising section. And oh! It's that one obscure fandom you really love, and it is hosting about your favourite series! You can't lose the opportunity!

 So you read all the paragraphs about the roleplay, check their website and starts to explode in excitement. I can't wait to join!
 But then, you scroll down and see the following words...





Discord-only.





Well, I guess if you like Discord rps, you won't mind. But if you're someone like me, who joined FH to be able to roleplay with some graphical representation, it's tiring.



Well, why did I even search on the forums anyway? I should go in game and wait for the recruiter, this time I couldn't go wrong!

So it's Sunday, and you hop on FH and find a nice spot to sit back and wait for a video adv. After some long hours resisting the temptation to just tab out or go to Cherika, a group that has interested you starts advertising!
 Oh my, that's unique! I would love to apply for your grou...







Discord-based.






Well... Now, it can be tiring to go through the Roleplaying advertisment section and all the rps that interest you being discord-only, but hoping IN-GAME, so you join a group that doesn't EVEN play the game actively?



Well, If no groups play in-game, then I guess I would have to make my own, right?

So you create a group, and struggle to gain members since it's about that obscure fandom no one but a handful people know about. But eventually, you start grow in numbers and can finally sigh in relief! But then, the new members go out their way and ask.





So, where is the group's discord?







You decide to control the urge to implode, and calmly informs the member the group has no discord. The member says they only like roleplaying with discord and leave. I guess you win some and lose others, no? ...



Well, most "active" and organized groups have a discord to list rules and rankings anyway, so maybe it won't hurt making a discord server to list the important announcements and plan when we are going to play in-game, no?

So you create a discord server, maybe even a site, to list all rules, ranks, art, announcements and yadda yadda. You go to recruit in game, they join your discord and everyone starts to mingle happily on the discord-server, talking about all those cool character and history ideas and suggestions they have for the group. Everytime is good, a lot of people joined and you can't wait to rp with them! So you call them to hop on Bonfire to play with you and then...






Wait, so we are not going to play on the RP channels?




You sigh frustatedly, talk with them but they convince you they like to play through discord and we could have both! and all of the other members agree! So, you create RP-channels so they can play there, while occasionaly you and your members can hop ingame when they can and play on FH! Nothing could go wrong, right? Why not both?




But as time passes, NO ONE even hops in-game and only play through Discord, leaving you thorn between the choice of either playing along, or leaving you to play alone.





And that's how you go back to the forums and search for another roleplay frustatedly, only to find Discord-only roleplays!

If I wanted to join a Discord roleplay, I WOULDN'T BE SEARCHING ON FERALHEART, A GAME THAT PROVIDES IT'S OWN PLATFORM!


Of course, it's my opinion and if you disagree, that's fine. I just want to know if I'm the only one who's been having this problem.
So, what are your thoughts on Discord-only, or FH-only roleplays? why do you like your choice?

Work In Progress Maps & Map Discussion / [W.I.P] - Nunavik
« on: November 02, 2018, 11:50:59 pm »
This is a big project I'm working on: a 40000 width and 1000 height map!
After a short hiatus, I decided to get into map making.


Started 2nd November 2018.

Inspired on the beautiful landscape featured in Brother Bear(2003) and Brother Bear 2(2006); I'll love to present an upcoming map!

Nunavik (Ondulating Tundra in Inuktitut)


This map is being made for an upcoming Brother Bear-based RP group I've been planning with a friend. The map will include a few of the known landmarks (The 2 Inuit villages, the waterfall, the mountain where the Sky touches the Earth, the lava lands... And the Bear waterfalls!)


Currently the work done is:


[Current on hiatus]

  Terrain HeightMap - [87% - Need some tweaks]
  MapMask - [45% - Needs to tweaked for non-worked areas]
 
  The Northwest area - Polar Ranges [ 2% done]
  The Northern area  - (Unnamed, transition area) - 5% done
  The northeast area - Grizzly Falls [- 95% done]
  The Western area  - Inuit Village/frozen lands [- 0% done]
  The Cental area - Where the Sky touches the Earth [ - 10% done]
  The Eastern area  -  The pine forest [ - 45% done]
  The Southwest area - The wilderness falls [- 5% done]
  The Southern area   - Inuit Village, Southern forest [- 22% ]
  The Southeast area - Caribou forest, wilderness of danger and beauty [ - 12%]


A little bit of spoiler of the almost done Grizzly falls ~~

( Psst, I'm going to include a area for bears to hang out soon)
[02/11/2018 - 07:36 pm]



(Probably will change the rock texture to a non-sedimentary rock later. The current rock is a placeholder)




If you have any suggestion, I would love to hear! But keep in mind the Brother Bear story takes place in Alaska, so all elements must fit in a tundra landscape!

Game Help / Presets not showing/Broken Lonely cave
« on: October 22, 2018, 12:14:30 am »
This is also happening with my friends. Suddenly, presets stopped working on other characters and only your own preset shows. Apparently, only old presets show too, but most broke (for me at least(

Another problem is that I no longer can connect to the lonely cave. Since all characters I had were reseted to the LC, I can no longer play with that account (every char is stuck) and I only could connect with an alt account that was in the grounds.

"Have you heard about the time gears?"

Long time ago, there was a world inhabited by creatures called pokémon. But differently from other worlds, only pokémon lived there.
 Everything was peaceful, pokémon explored and had fun together, in a world where harmony was kept thanks to the power of the legendary pokémon of the space and time.



ATTENTION: Contains Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky Spoilers.
But not everyone was happy

 
Darkrai, the Pitch-black Mythical pokémon, wanted to cover the world in darkness. For his domain was dependant on such power.


Hungry for that power, the nightmarish creature severed the stability of time, stealing magical artifacts known as time gears. By doing so, he doomed the future to suffer with an unnatural phenomenon known as "world paralysis".
And what is a world paralysis, you may ask? Well, in a world where time has been paralyzed...

"No winds blow... The day never comes... Neither spring nor summer ever comes... It's a world of unrelenting darkness... It would be no exaggeration to call it the complete ruin of the world."





But fortunately, his plans didn't conclude.

Thanks to the bravery of 5 pokémon, the time gears were brought back to their rightful place: the Temporal tower, and for this they had Dialga's eternal gratitude.

Thus, they were known as the heroes of time and darkness.



But not long after, Darkrai attempted to corrupt the world again, but this time, ruining the fabric of space.
But the heroes once again stopped his plan. Gaining Palkia's favor too.



And with both Dialga and Palkia favour, the world was at balance again, and Arceus, the creator of everything, stepped up to make sure no one would break the balance of Space and Time again.
 






But this happened long ago.
















It's been centuries since the time and space was restored, and the heroes of time and darkness are long forgotten. For the pokémon of the present, they were only characters of an ancient tale, and the time gears weren't anything but a myth. But everything they had yet to discover was not only past their time, but their worlds!





 
- "A group of poochyenas found out a "portal" opened in the middle of nowhere. Our scholars reported a distortion happened in the fabric of space and time. We were wary at first, but our bravest exploration teams were sent to explore and find out where this portal was linking us to. It seems it's not a teleportation portal, but a dimensional link! When entering, we were brought to a whole new world, diferent from ours. A world where pokémon and humans live together!"

"A portal opened in the middle of nowhere. Scientists gathered around the area for examination and fortunately, it seems the portal has nothing to do with the Ultra Beasts. But instead, Pokémon appeared! But they didn't seem like ordinary pokémon. They were wearing scarves, glasses, bags and seemed to have a sophisticated form of communication. Some of our members attempted to challenge the peculiar pokémon in a battle to capture them, but they didn't seem to understand nor want to fight with our pokémon."







And thus, two realities collided, preparing to sing a Worldly Hymn.
Where will your voice come from?







 

 
Worldly Hymn, A Pokémon Roleplay.

Welcome to Worldly Hymn! We are a sited, complex multi-dimensional based Pokémon RP.

Currently we are:


- Plotted.
- Literate/semi-literate.
- Mature.
- Sited.(http://pokemonrpguild.boards.net/) The site may pass through reparations.
- Multi-mapped (soon)
- No Roleplay sample required

In this world (or worlds) there are two different dimensions. One based in the core pokémon games, and other based on the spin-off mystery dungeon games. Whether you are from the former or latter, may affect your relation with others!

Currently we accept:

PMD pokémon (Those who came from the Mystery Dungeon dimension)
Core Pokémon (Those who came from the core games dimension.)
Humans (MUST come from the core games world.)

And we do have a shop system where you may buy items like evolutionary stones, Poké balls, extra char slots, shiny slots and even the abillity to become a Gijinka!

- How do I get money?

Every week, we will make missions that you will have to complete during RP. You will have a week to complete the mission, if you do, you will get your reward stored in your user's bank account (You NEED to have an account on our site for this)

- The map question.

This RP world is centered around the Core world and the Mystery world.

 Since the mystery world is based around Mystery dungeon, you know it can't lack you know... Mystery dungeons... So as time passes, we will be releasing new map extensions connected to the PMD world. These will be the Mystery dungeons, where PMD pokémon (and core, along with humans) will explore! Some maps will be unlocked as events.

 But of course, you can live as a loner rogue pokémon, hatch as an egg, make packs, groups and live as a wild pokémon and just don't care about all that prophecy thing! It's your choice after all!

Game Help / Can't connect to The Grounds.
« on: September 15, 2018, 03:20:51 pm »
 Some days has passed and I still can't connect to The Grounds, specifically. Whenever I try the error message appears:
  "Failed to Connect to map server. Retry?" Retrying doesn't work and closing the window and openning FH again doesn't work either. Seaside Grove, The Cape of Distant worlds and Lonely Cave works just fine.

 So, just to make it clear:

  - Yes, I have the web validation page on. I tried waiting a few minutes before logging too, but still doesn't work.
  - I tried entering TG both through the Seaside Portal and Lonely cave portal, didn't work.
  - I tried joining with different characters too, didn't work.
  - I did reset all homes and sent home using the User pannel with ALL of the characters too, didn't work.
  - I tried logging with an alternate Account and using a character from there, didn't work.
  - I tried installing a complete new, untouched Feral Heart client, didn't work.
  - I tried changing the water reflection, view distance and the graphic system too, didn't work.
  - I tried a combination of ALL THE ABOVE, didn't work.
  - I attempted to connect during the entire week, in different times too.

 
 This connection issue started last Sunday. Ever since, I can't go to TG or any of the other maps (Ficho, Cherika, Eastern Pass, Kiwimbi, Bonfire and Zama) Since the only way there is through The Grounds.

Screenshots / Pawfreak's nest
« on: July 13, 2018, 10:21:12 pm »
Henlo my frens!

As you probably never met me before, I'll introduce myself now: I go by the username Pawfreak, and my main "wolf" goes by the name Guaraná (Captain Guarana in the game, Feral heart is hostile with... Unicode characters...) and I'm a NEW MEMBER! In fact, never played Feral Heart before! Unlike most here, that seems to have played the game for a while.

So, Enough with the introductions, because this isn't the introduction board! Let's go down to business the screenshots! So I'll explain: the reason why I have "wolf" in quotes is that I actually ain't one (Ohh, but that's not even a big deal!) But nor I am a canine or horse or a human or giant floof ball... I am a:

P A R R O T

Which does not seem to be a common option around here... Seeing my kind so under appreciated makes me fell so lonely! So I decided to do parrot thingys to show to all of you, so maybe more people will appreciate us!

First off, I'll introduce you to Guaraná (Captain Guaraná):



Guaraná is my main character, and she adds to the psitaccine AND Scarlet Macaw (Ara Macao) population! The Scarlet Macaw is one of my favourite birds and my favourite parrot.

So, as you can see, bird aren't really... a option, in Feral Heart, So I when I first joined the game last month, I was pretty bummed by it. But after I discovered the magic of           P r e s e t s, I HAD to make a Scarlet Macaw character... So I... Tried and I failed but I'm content, for my first try it's not that bad... Right...?

Well, the thing is, since the game models are made for canines and felines, I had quite the difficult to make a bird and of course, there are some "unparrot" things that were unavoidable, like:
Guaraná flying looks like bird of prey
Guaraná walking looks like a rainbow chicken
And Guaraná laying looks like a ded bird

But you know what? THAT'S THE BEST PART OF IT, my parrot flies like a majestic chicken of prey!

OBS: The date system used here is MM/DD/YYYY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here I'll post any screenshots that I take in the game, and birds that I plan making in the future!

1 - This was Guarana's second official design! When she wasn't "Captain Guarana" and I attempted to do the preset by copying parts of a real Scarlet Macaw and pasting. Guarana's atual design is hand drawn! Taken: 07/11/2018


2 - This is a non-Guaraná screenshot! instead it features another of my characters (Galaxy, nowadays their name is Supernova) Taken: 07/11/2018


3 - Another Supernova screenshot, this one was taken yesterday during a campfire history telling with my friends ~ Taken: 07/12/2018
 

4 -This one I think a few members here may know! This picture was taken 07/12/2018 during a trip through the Eastern pass, where everyone walked together to Bonfire islands! special thanks to Universe for leading again!


5 - This is Fantasy, one of the first characters that I did, and is the ONLY character that is a "normal" lion! (He's a Liger though) Taken: 07/01/2018


6 - Guaraná FIRST EVER DESIGN! She looked really colorful, but too plain and simple! Taken: 07/09/2018


7 - And this was MY FIRST EVER SCREENSHOT in the game! AND my first created character (aaaand it was neither a lion or wolf... Surprisingly, most of my characters don't have paws) His name used to be Mirage! Taken: 07/01/2018


8 - And this is Mirage today, his name is Cappucino now! Taken:07/13/2018 (RIGHT NOW!)




There will be more Screenshots soon!
