Feral Heart

Just a 5-map network I've been working on for a week or so :3
If you see anything you've made, thanks for making it I used a whole lot of stuff, so I can't really remember where it all came from XD but yeah, you're awesome!

Rules:
Just basic stuff. No claiming as your own, no den or space claiming on any of the maps, and just generally be nice to one another Have fun!

(It's in two parts because the whole thing was too big for MediaFire.)

NOTE: The first versions of the download had some maaajor problems, as I soon discovered when half of the music files and water textures were missing when other people downloaded it -_- the links up here now should have everything you need, and the instructions are very clear. So fingers crossed, I hope it actually works this time!

Oh geez, I forgot one of the water textures apparently -_- so here's the link just for that! Follow the readme instructions and everything should finally be fine XD

This network consists of:

World Map - Just the home base with all the portals (Inspired by Kingdom Hearts, which will become pretty obvious from the music )

Starsong Wood - A relatively simple forest map, which took way longer than it should have(Hey, cloning 1000 fir trees is pretty hard on the fingers!)

Sharkmaw - A small town situated inside the mouth of a massive shark. Heck yes.

Treacherous Waterway - A map made almost entirely of water, watch out for the ill-tempered sea bass!

Floating Paradise - A map made mostly of floating water-textured platforms with random stuff in/on them. I seriously whipped this one up in like 20 minutes because I needed a 5th map. Sorry for the awfulness >.< (NOTE: I have recently...VERY recently...discovered that the gate to this map has come out in the wrong place -_- you'll need wings to get to any of the platforms anyway, but yeah. Bugger.)



Screenies!

I once came across a rather nasty group trying to claim the whole stepping stone thing in Fluorite(not just the cave, the whole thing!). They even went to the extreme lengths of trying to kill a lioness and her cub by pushing them off D: after the lioness tried to protest, one of the wolves said "we killed u and ur poor cub UR DEAD NOW SO U HAVE TO LEAVE". Ugh, they couldn't even spell it right...

Yet more, my loves a particularly vicious lot, this time. They were in the stepping stones cave, and immediately reacted to anyone who came in. After a while, they even tried to kick off everyone sitting on the roof :/ it was...depressing. At one point one of them said(and this is the exact quote): "we killed u and ur poor cub" to one of the lionesses sitting there minding her own business D: I even asked them if they had read the rules and they said "Yes, but we're making up our own." Good job. Totally disregarding the official FH rules, getting frustrated over a pointless cause and generally being a big ol' meanie pants? *slow clap*

UPDATE: Ok, I wouldn't normally do this, but this guy has been on the same character all day, still viciously den claiming O_O look out for "smythe". He seems to be an insistently rude person, it's like a hobby to him.

When I'm in a literate roleplay, I often find myself getting a little flowery with my language(gotta love them adjectives!), but wolfspeak has never entered into my vocabulary. It confuses me to no end! Only yesterday, I got into a spontaneous RP with two wolves in a cave, and when one of them described my character as a "brute", the first thing I thought was that they were implying my character was violent and stupid. I had no idea that they simply meant "male wolf".

It would almost be nice if we just divided 'literate' and 'wolfspeak' into two categories and advertised accordingly, same as we do with literate/non-literate. Since some people like to use it, and it tends to read like an entirely different dialect of English, it seems like a logical solution.

I like this suggestion actually, because then everyone could easily enter into/avoid whichever dialect they want.

Yet again, everyone XD
This time my pack and I were peacefully chatting in one corner of the den, when this tiny lil' feline comes up and starts raging at us to leave because it's "His den". I said what I always say, the whole "Public map, nobody owns it" thing, but it didn't help that my packmates played along with him :/ ah well, I tried.
