Those stories are so cute! I can especially relate to stuffing my face with food after stumbling on such a packed table. Nice Job, Kedamono!

Game Discussion / Re: This game isn't dying, it's already dead: a proposal
« on: June 12, 2020, 04:31:33 pm »Yes, this game continued for a reason, so we can all still enjoy it, but really i dont think we are with all of this drama so we should just find a solution to stopping this drama and with that i dont mean shutting down the game, i want a real solution
I second this- but I'm going to have to agree with Sura also because as pointed out above- people are focusing on the staff instead of the game because the game hasn't been updated as often as people would like. While I'm of the mindset that this is a free game very niche game I'm content to wait for whatever the staff are working on. That being said, I also think letting the community somewhat in the loop with teasers would be very appreciated instead of what is happening now. I definitely know that it takes a lot of discussion and work before things can be shown off and I'm sure that in itself is frustrating for both parties. I'm sure it will take even more discussion to find a good solution for the community and game as a whole.
As for pulling the plug, which was the original statement made in this thread, I'm going to have to politely disagree and counter with letting people who want to ride out the game to do so. I understand most of this comes from a place of love/frustration with the game but calling for it to die while there are still people who actively use the game is, in my opinion, not the best option. I hope this next part doesn't come off as rude: but I think it would be a better alternative that if you're suggesting the game die you move on to something else and let the game be. I'm not trying to say don't provide criticism/suggestions just that if you think the game should end to move on.
On a side note: watching people change sura's words live on this thread has made me even more on the fence of how I feel about communication as a whole. It's obvious both sides need to work on how they communicate but it's even more apparent to me that the community needs to read carefully instead of assuming meaning behind well-worded statements by staff.
I don't mean any of this to come off rudely ;; I'm not the best at articulating my thoughts so feel free to correct me if I misunderstood something.

They assume we are "attacking" them. Or as Sura stated: "giving constant misinformation, doubt, ridicule, trolling, death threats and so forth." Honestly? The doubt is valid considering all the drama in this furry game. The ridicule is actually critique. Trolling? People see this game as a joke. Doesn't justify it, but still. As for Death Threats? You can literally report them to the police. You have IP addresses, use them.
Ok, gonna have to disagree on a few things here as I feel your statements are very general. While I'm sure most of the comments and stuff on the forums and communicated to the devs is actual well-meaning critique and trying to reach out- you can't totally deny there are some accounts of what Sura mentioned before. There is a lot of drama in this "furry game", however we shouldn't let the drama drive us to constant complaining of the staff and/or the game. I know it is frustrating. I'm frustrated too that the game that I love is stagnant and appears to be declining- but we can't shovel all the blame onto the staff.
As for the death threats- it doesn't matter if you can or do report them to the police. Receiving and reading death threats is draining and stressful on the spirit and mind and can outweight the good if seen often. I'm incredibly impressed the staff and devs remain as dedicated to the game as they do in the light of having threatening messages sent to them online over a free game.
I do agree that both sides need to work on being better. That much is true- but it appears that we're all talking about it more and that will lead somewhere.

Ah- I'd like to put my two cents in again as I feel I wasn't particularly good at explaining myself the first time.
I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about it, I was praising the devs/staff because it can be disheartening to hear people talk about pulling the plug on a game that they have poured their hard work and dedication into. Especially since FH is a free game, I feel reminding the devs that we do care about their work and want to communicate with them is important. No one wants to work on something they fear is unwanted or unpopular.
As for talking about these things I also believe providing better communication within the community between staff and players is especially important. It is a popular belief that surprises are not what the community wants and they do want to see what's coming despite it possibly falling through. However, I can also see why that can be scary/unpopular among the devs when there is already so much backlash around the new maps which are so beautifully done and really incredible.
FHU and FH should be individual and separate things that people can switch between as they are appearing to be moving in opposite directions. So why take away one when they aren't together? I do believe what Leda says is true- that if we don't want to see the game die we just have to keep working on making sure it doesn't.

« on: June 12, 2020, 12:24:30 am »Why not just let it die?
Because of the same reason you’re working on FHU?
Because we care about our community and the game. We want to see it thrive, and we want to preserve a place that still means so much to many. A place that after several years of absence you still see old users return to and look fondly upon.
For those that seem to think we don’t care, aren’t listening, and aren’t trying, do you ever just question then why we are still here? Does it really make sense to think that a staff team that has to deal with constant misinformation, doubt, ridicule, trolling, death threats and so forth would stick around for nothing? You’ve got folks here who have busy personal lives, health struggles, relationships, kids, jobs, etc pouring their time and souls into an absolutely free internet game daily for seemingly no reward.
There’s got to be a reason, and that’s because we care. We want to make you all happy. We value the feelings and desires of total strangers enough to stick around for countless years. We keep trying, and you know what? We don’t always succeed. That’s life. That goes for anything you do. You can’t always make everyone happy, even yourself, but heck we sure will try and if that means we have to keep trying then so be it. That’s why we are still here, and that’s why we will not just let it die.
Because to let it die, is to simply give up! To give up on caring... And honestly I think thats more of a failure then any possible unpopular patch or future decision.
^^^ Full praise to the staff/dev team for dealing with an influx of these kinds of posts. Not everyone wants the game to go away and some of us are looking forward to whatever new content comes our way.
