I would love to hop around as a Kangaroo some day xD Although I don't think FeralHeart is the type of game to have such an assortment of species.

I think FeralHeart will be sticking with the feline/canine thing. Maybe different feline and canine meshes will be made (That have a different body structure to the ones we already have), that would be cool. The feline and canine theme fits FeralHeart, and I reckon it should stick with it.

I think they should add smaller/less elongated models of the felines and canines. Also, for the canine, make the forehead above the snout flatter :c

I like the idea of hyenas.  I tried to make one with the canine model, but it looked like a fox on steroids, so...  >n>''

I think they look like cats or foxes...

Post by: NuclearParadox on January 10, 2011, 01:48:11 am
Jackals please :V  I've tried making one already, but...eh.  Jackals have a more fox-ish look/anatomy about them that the wolf model can't really get.  Plus their ears are about three times bigger/rounder.

Oh, and hyenas would be pretty cool, too.

I would love to have owls or something similar,Though I am not that bothered. After all, as Teal said, FH will stick with the Feline/Canine theme.

snakes =u=
large birds of prey (golden eagles in mongolia are used to hunt wolves, they ftw lol)
wild boars

It would be very epic if there was a game where you could play such a large variety of animals xD
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Hezaru on January 10, 2011, 11:36:22 pm
@teal:
I agree ( I personally would love to play as a warthog (always liked warthogs can figure out why though) or eagle)
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: DimensionGal on January 10, 2011, 11:57:03 pm
I'd like to play as a lizard or something.

But in general, I like the feline/canine theme. It's like there are two separate worlds that have come together in one~

If you want multiple species, there's a game called Arokai that's releasing a bajillion playable animals. Not out yet, though.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Duskers on January 11, 2011, 12:15:00 am
Yer. There was a huuuuge fight between FH and A'K fantards xD It's hilarious, considering how friendly the teams are to eachother.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: TealSkeletore on January 11, 2011, 12:30:22 am
Well no you can only choose from 7 animals in Arokai. And I don't think they are adding anymore because they already have a story line and they said it would be difficult to fit another species into it.

I honestly think Feral Hearts have enough species. It's good we have the variation of Feline and Canine, but  I think that's the max x3

Post by: kaityk55 on January 11, 2011, 01:47:11 am
Arokai is the one with a ton of species, while FeralHeart has a nice simple selection. If there is less of a wide variety, packs and prides would be a bit easier since you are either a wolf or a lion.

Species? As in character creation or as prey?

I would like to see some turtles or some other reptiles in game.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Duskers on January 11, 2011, 08:13:02 am
Guys, you don't know how much you're asking for. Adding new species, even one, would take MONTHS of coding to do. You should be happy for what you get.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Staceybob on January 11, 2011, 09:40:56 am
Not really a species addition, but I'd love to see cubs and puppy meshes.

Cuter, smaller and chubbier. You can make small lions and wolves, but they dont have that same puppy look.

Great ideas! ^-^
But it takes time to make a lot of animals.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Robin_Wolfieh on January 11, 2011, 06:47:52 pm
@Stacy
I'm not saying INSTANTLY create them, just some suggestions for prey. At least the turtles that is.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Hezaru on January 11, 2011, 07:22:51 pm
@ Duskers: if you would of read the original post i didn't request new species instantly, I said " i believe would make for lovely updates in the future."

@Carmen:
I ment them as player species but i can add a prey section if you wish

As far as reptiles go, an edit of the wolf model would do... Remove the fur texture, ears, change the tail and make it shorter and you'd have a lizard. You can almost do it now anyway, if you could just make it long but shorter in height. Or lizard-esque thing. It's what I tried to make with the wolf. I say it's a lizard and I'm stickin' to it.

xD Nice Mindo, and Hez, I know, but it'd take so much time and work that it'd be hard to get anything else done in the game.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Hezaru on January 11, 2011, 09:33:26 pm
@mindo: that is a wonderful job

@duskers: ah i see
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Robin_Wolfieh on January 12, 2011, 01:11:33 am
That would be cool. An thread on "Prey Ideas/Suggestions" would be nice (it'll lessen confusion).

I would love to see a dragon. Yes, a dragon. They probably existed at one point in time. It would be nice to see them in the game. :3

I would love to see Horses. I have ALWAYS wanted to play as a horse in a game...
Title: Re: Species Suggestions

Dragons = Istaria (you do have to pay after 2 weeks but it's worth it)

Horses = ?

Post by: Aroxy on January 14, 2011, 04:34:54 pm
ahhh.. personally, i think that if you want such a variety of species, you should move to Arokai :p
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Duskers on January 14, 2011, 11:16:10 pm
Aro'kai isn't even out yet. ;P

Post by: Liekos on January 16, 2011, 02:10:12 pm
i think the canine model needs the cheek tuff/mane option. in most images you of wolves they got the tuff thing going on there. the model atm looks too foxy for my taste. what do you guys think? o:

Moles, Beavers...and,hmmm...

Lemurs? Oh, elephants..hippos and antilopes too c:
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Dogdev3 on February 09, 2011, 05:01:53 pm
I myself would like to see... -clears throat-
Avian
Ursine
Lapine

... I used those because the current meshes are titled "Feline" and "Canine", so... xD
Birds, bear-like meshes, and rabbit-like?
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: DimensionGal on February 09, 2011, 07:46:49 pm
^ I kind of agree with the bear-like mesh. Or at least the option to make the canine models chunkier.

I play a bunch of Waheela characters, which are/were bear-wolf cryptids that existed/rumored to still exist. It's awfully hard to make one look all big, powerful, and stalky like they're supposed to look (see below)  when the model makes everything so streamlined.
(http://i53BannedImageSite/30w86pw.png)

The Avian mesh would be nice, as well. Maybe have some of the "hairstyles" available on Canines available for Felines, like the "Backwards Mohawk" or the like.

But what I really, REALLY, wanna see are Dragons. They could either look like my character (as drawn by my friend) Fenomano (http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/004/0/c/FL_RP_Fenomano_by_noot.jpg), or very Spyro-esque. However, I think the Spyro-esque (http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/13588/299096_full.jpg) models would be easier for the designers, since they're already so similar to the current Feline and Canine models.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: M0N0KR0MAE on February 09, 2011, 08:05:44 pm
The bearcanid thing is cool.

BUT, as for dragons, i'd HATE to see Spyro-esque things. I never liked those box-mouthed banana-horned things.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Dogdev3 on February 09, 2011, 08:08:46 pm
Well, I actually don't agree about the dragon thing - because they're a fantasy species, their appearance is very broad. If you go with one way, you'll offend one half (or whatever percentage it may be) of the dragon fanbase, but if you go the other, the same thing happens. And we can't really expect there to be many more meshes made... to please everyone, you'd need at least 3 different dragons...

if we get hunting maps like IT

then i'd say we need monster to like u have to work together to beat  it, for example ogres , gryphon, dragon and more....
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Duskers on February 10, 2011, 12:47:49 am
Guys, I doubt any new species will be added... Or at least in the near future. I think the canine model's face is way, WAY too pointy. And the paws are too small :C
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: M0N0KR0MAE on February 10, 2011, 04:49:51 pm
The canine model's texture is also deplorable in comparison with the feline's...
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Duskers on February 11, 2011, 07:03:30 am
I think they should at least add different textures if no other species.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: slycan on February 11, 2011, 07:15:24 am
There were a ton more Marking to be added

but the point of the game is to be creative and make presets instead ^^
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Wildcat26 on February 11, 2011, 07:24:19 am
^^True, but then we're very limited on presets too, only 10. That doesn't leave much room for alot of creation. ::)
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: TealSkeletore on February 11, 2011, 07:36:44 am
lol What are you talking about? 10 presets is heaps! And if you have more than 10 you can always just switch the files.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Wildcat26 on February 11, 2011, 09:00:32 am
10 doesnt' even cover the the family of chars I have from my species. X3 And yea you can switch, but I don't think it's possible for others you send them to, to see unless they would switch the files too. Oor do I have that wrong. ::)
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: TealSkeletore on February 11, 2011, 09:11:23 am
Not sure.. you'd have to experiment a bit to find out.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: Kirsui on February 11, 2011, 09:24:16 am
^ with the preset files being named like they are, I doubt it would be possible to have more than 10, at least if the files were to stay in the same folder.
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: M0N0KR0MAE on February 11, 2011, 05:25:55 pm
Shouldn't you be able to modify something in the coding so that you may "clone" the base for the preset files?

Probably not...but what if maybe...
Title: Re: Species Suggestions
Post by: nexus196 on February 11, 2011, 05:37:37 pm
what happens if 3 players have there preset on nr4 and i got them presets

would  be able to see them all in one place with there preset?
