Title: More animals? (:
Post by: MFP07 on January 09, 2012, 06:31:29 pm
I have been seeing alot of people Role-playing as Miscellaneous animals that do not belong in the game, such as Mares and Dragons! I think it would be a good idea to add another set for horses at the least because if you walk around I am sure you will see people with the word "Mare" in their mane.

Anyone think otherwise or have anymore suggestions? (:

I'm pretty sure there aren't gonna be anymore animals added. It'd be too much work to mesh and stuff.

That or an option to exchange your legs. Even if your roleplaying a horse, all you need is a bit of imagination because it's not soo far fetched, but I spotted people with Orca's or Dolphin characters that had decent designs, but swimming with four paws. Such as having hooves, missing legs, or fish tails would be interesting. Even new manes, ones where it cascades down from the neck would be geared towards the horse roleplayers. I'd say the tails are fairly accurate for a horse tail as it is. It'd probably more a matter of character movement that would hold up the idea. Their legs bend differently and it'd take time to test and modify, I would imagine?

LOVE the idea Jegrde! what about the option of having hooves and whale tails and maybe even change body shape? you could even pretend to be an aquatic alien creature! XD

I think it would be a good but as Nitrobug said it would take time sculpting and meshing these models to fit perfectly on the character. You would have to be a very good mesh maker to create these things.

Or maybe they can modify an existing mesh, for say the wolfs or the lions mesh to fit a desired animal?

I think it has been discussed before, and there wasn't much likelihood that other animals were going to be added. You can though make presets, and do some modifications with the character creator to try to look as much like the desired animal as possible.

I highly doubt other animals will be added so im sorry to say but i dont think horse tails and such will be added.

As Windance said presets is the best way to get different looking animal. Using a transparent code i have made a preset with a dolphin looking tail.

Its actually the normal wolf tail but erased bits created the tail shape.

I'm sure a good idea way Ingredient, as I had need tail dragon for Canine?
 but the Feral heart does not add model tail

There is a Nightfury tail item you can use as a dragon tail you know?

I like the new animals idea, but wouldn't it take up more space on a PC? oAo?

Not much at all, that's not the real problem. It's more about the making of the skeleton and the mesh for new animals that would be time-consuming.

Dragons don't really fit FH anyway, and wouldn't it make the game very laggy in Flourite?

Dragons will just be like any other character in Fluorite, I would presume.
Since we've gotten the wings, we don't really need characters like dragons or birds, its possible to make them now with just a canine/feline. Imagination. c:

I'm not a big fan on adding new animals to the game. It's not that I don't like the idea, I just think that "feral" would not be relative to horses and dragons and other such things. In my opinion, there is simply something... off with the idea. And I've seen some fabulous presets that do horses and dragons justice.

I don't see why it would. Is a map more laggy when you around a group of felines or a group of wolves? I don't see how this would change if there were dragons added to the game. It's just another charrie around. It's not like adding a multiple meshes that are very massive to a map. The lag wouldn't change, I don't think.

I think it would be a fun idea to have different meshes, just to give the player(s) a bit more room to stretch their imagination. Though it's not likely that the staff will do such a thing, it's a good idea! I do like the idea of having new manes, just to boost it up a bit. Even if it's just a new mane. It's possible to make presets for such matters, as shown several posts before mine.

~But yes indeed it would be interesting to have a 'bit more creativity in character creation, even markings besides markings packs could be a help. But that's just my opinion.

It's not hard to model a character or to rig them if one's skilled enough (with enough reference photos, a friend and I can make models between a few hours or a couple of days). The annoying part is animating them.

To put a new species into FeralHeart, all that would need to really be done is to recycle code for the programming part. I mean, there's already flying because of wings, right? It'd be easy as pie to put a dragon or bird in XD

It's the animating/importing part that would take time, as well as texturing and other things.

But either way, even if it took a long time, things that take time seem to be better. If it was really fast then it wouldn't have a good quality, LOL.

I don't really agree with other animals on the game, as it simply doesn't seem to fit very well with FeralHeart as a basic whole, so it's not the amount of work that bothers me personally, but trying to make them fit both in the game society and artistically.

I mean, really, what would a dragon character honestly look like with the art style of FH, anyway? That would always be my first question, because too realistic/too cartoony would clash with the other models.

I agree there should be more but I doubt they would ever do it.

As much as this idea is a really good one, that need cannot be met due to Kovu leaving us behind and taking the code with him. However people do add presets and markings and even items to make your character unique and quite familiar and recognisable as a different specie.

I do sometimes wish there could be horses, bears and even birds. People could customize the horses into giraffes by making the neck longer or into a zebra by changing the markings or even a deer/stag. And the bears could be a panda or red panda or even a sloth. whereas birds could be albatrosses, seagulls, crows, robins, eagles etc whatever floats ya boat floof.

However I am aware that Impressive title contains such models of deer, bears, wolves, lions etc. xD well IT servers overall.

I was hoping they could add birds, but the person who made the game left, the person that had the source code... So we need someone that knows coding as good as their own name (not me o.o) to do this, otherwise, your just going to have to live with it!
