Feral Heart

[If this topic is similar to any other relevant topic, then I’m sorry for repeating someone else’s ideas.]

Hello, everyone! I’m an old time player and I haven’t been around in at least a few years. I’ve poked around the game and forum every so often from a force of habit and just to see how the community has been holding up. Hellos and introduction out of the way, allow me to go ahead to the topic, we’re busy people. (Also, I'm not anyone with any authority of Feral Heart, I'm just a player ).

Feral Heart has been around for a long time now. I am sure we’ve heard and said this a thousand times before, "we can’t change [-blank-] about the game because we don’t have the source code." After all this time, I can safely say the original creator is never coming back nor has any intention to allow access to the code.

Feral Heart is one of the few games I know that seem to be at a standstill. In an age of growing progress in technology and new talents coming up every day, you would think a community rich place like Feral Heart would make meaningful changes (yes, I know, there have been few changes, but hear me out). With all the limitations Feral Heart faces in its current and outdated state, why can’t Feral Heart simply be revamped? From the game engine, the models, the animations, everything.

These changes would include practically anything and everything the community has been asking for years. From providing central chats, different species, improved mechanics, services from reliable third parties, if needed be, etc. Feral Heart could finally be free from its “code” shackles, the community could, at last, receive the changes they’ve desired, and the longevity of both would be cemented.

What do you think? Do you agree that Feral Heart should receive a complete remake?
Do you think Feral Heart is fine as is?

[Personal Opinion]: I would like Feral Heart to be like other games I enjoy. Even if the game developers are far from perfect, they still experiment with and build their games the best they can be. I feel like Feral Heart wants to do the same, but it feels like something keeps it back.

I see people create amazing game projects and even tried making my own. Then I think about Feral Heart and ask, "wow, how would Feral Heart be if they tried [-blank-] or added [-blank-]." I’m not saying Feral Heart should try to be like other games, but evolve over time as they do.

I've had a thought about situations where people do things without thinking it over. Then there are times, you do think about it beforehand, but it still turns out unfavorable. Then, those moments where people would try to help you out, but you're too much of a hot-head to heed them.

Next thing you know, you're sitting on a rock, whining like a baby for someone, anyone to give an opinion. As for myself, I've had a number of moments where I've been proven wrong or didn't take someone's advice. These days, I'm always for that word of criticism or correction. It took time in my early days to realize people were just trying to help me from an embarrassing and narrow-mindedful fate.

How about anyone else? Ever had that moment or event where you were acting like a know-it-all baby or just being a baby in general? Or had that time where you tried to be the one to help a fella out?

Hello, good people of the four-legged world. As a few people may I have noticed, I haven't been around in-game or on the forum that much. So picture a clumsy ox, a convenient glass of water, and an already-needed-to-be-repaired portable device used for both constructive projects and entertainment. After that, the rest is history. So, with my said device being shipped to be repaired, I hope it's soon so I can continue my laid-back routine. In the meantime, you all continue to be fuzzy and safe.
Peace. ~

We all like to have interesting characters, even if it means breaking their legs. Playing a character with a disability is both fun and a learning experience. Whether it's physical, mental, social, and so forth, it's just another aspect to explore with and share with others through your character. Handicap for the win, yea?

However, though it be, another person brought another thing to my attention. They said, "most characters with a mental illness is a psychopath," and this is true. Suffering from schizophrenia myself, it can be discouraging and stereotypical. Added, it is cliche, as if to say any character (and sometimes even real life people) who are mentally disable are like this.

There's never anything wrong with playing a character with an illness as long as you understand it. Like cannibalism, a disability of any kind should be played with respect. If you have a character or plan to create a character with a disability, play it through the character's eyes. Not just to be cool out-of-character or gain attention. Just be yourself and be your character while telling their story with dignity.

So how about you all? What kind of disabilities you like to experiment with or find a bit overused and abused? Do you like to play handicap characters? What ever the case, share your thoughts.
