This is a nice concept and I too (as well as many others), would love to see FeralHeart thrive with new players.
Though, as it stands, there isn't many very used social medias that FeralHeart - I feel would fit into in regards to catching the eyes of an audience. I'm sure something could be figured out, but it is all up to the staff team! Most of the community I am sure would feel positively towards the idea, though!
I am behind this idea though if it ever was brought to life or considered again by the staff members!
I agree that advertising FeralHeart with actual ads would be amazing, and yes it would help the game in many regards. I remember reading through Fonzie's thread a couple months back, but never commented. Guess I can say my peace now, eh?
I wouldn't leave the advertising solely to the staff. We as members of this community, staff or not, need to help spread the word that this little game exists. You can help by simply mentioning FeralHeart's name on another game or platform such as a forum or social media in the manner of "I play X game in my free time" or however else you would want to go about it, just as I do on my DeviantArt page.
To help advertise this game, you can make YouTube videos about FeralHeart. Maybe make a music video, or one that goes over all the fun and silly things that happen. Or, you could make one about all the cool and neat things you can do with this game, such as make and implement your own meshes, animations, textures, items, maps, presets, markings, everything. You can mention the game in your signature or bio on other platforms, too. (Doing this just as long as it's okay when on another game's forum. Always respect other's rules.) Generally, throwing out the name of something will gather interest if nobody has heard of it before. Be it in a discord server you're active in, a twitter post, tumbler post, on a forum--anywhere would do. If more of us started doing this wherever we can or want to, I'm sure FeralHeart's name will get around.
Needless to say, go for it! Tell other people about FeralHeart if you want to do that in hopes of helping it grow again. It's always fun to talk about games you love to others. Hopefully they'll want to experience the game as well with you. That's how games get around anyways~
First of all, thanks to everyone that supports the idea.

I used to see some video music videos and that was a reason I joined to the game in 2012. It would be awesome that they return and create videos again. And yes, advertising is not always a staff job, what better publishment that the players who play it? Thank you for supporting this idea.
Official FH Trailers.
Do you mean that FH have official trailers? Or that FH needs official trailers? Yes, they need.
i made a thread on this a few months back- i remember the staff said something like they didn't plan to make official ads, but members are more than welcome to advertise if they want to. so yes, i 100% agree that feralheart should be advertised... though i'm not sure where. most places don't appreciate random posts about other sites. it's just a matter of finding the right website to advertise on and knowing your audience.
I didn't readed your post but I'm so happy that someone spoked this before than me! <3 I love so much this game and I want it to grow up, maybe this game helps others like happened to me...
