Feral Heart

Most of the maps you see that aren't from FH itself belong to rps. Granted a few are public, but the majority, nay. Thus, you have to join said rp before you're permitted to download their map. The owners worked hard to have a place for their group, and them alone, and don't make the maps publicly downloadable.

Right now there's a map called ElderCircle up on the bar. I'm in the group it belongs to. They have a website which they put the link on, so that it'd be hidden. Sometimes, though, groups will put the link in either the leader's or group's bio, in which case if I'm going to join, I'll usually download it in advance.

I remember when I first downloaded FH+. Was so cool. Seems like it'll be even better now, and once again populated.

Put in FH > Media > Terrains.

To get the yellow areas on the mask, you have to click the arrow in map maker to the fourth page. Should work, I think.

Hey, all. Pakhet here. You know how painful it is to try over and over (and over and...) to get into Fluorite during rush hour? It's a pain in the rear. So I'm attempting to make a FP wanna-be map. I just started today (1/7), but I'm making progress and decided to start a thread. My idea is to remake Ficho and Bonfire as well, and turn this into a map pack. But for now, it's just one.

I've decided it'll be public, and thus if you have suggestions, let me know. Also, I'd like to find some beta-testers in advance. Post or PM me if you want to be one.

Alright, so this project got put on a back burner a while. Life happened. (The ER played a part. Dun ask. ._.) But! After that got cleaned up, it turns out my mask somehow got deleted. (Either that or aliens abducted it...) Thus version 1 has come out, sans mask, for beta testing. If anyone would like to take a stab at a mask, I can PM you the height map.


UPDATES:

1/30: Version one out. Still needs mask.
1/10: Most items are in, now working on details and plants.
1/8: Height map complete. Skipping the mask until I have items in.
1/8: Decided height map was too different from FP to use, and am editing.
1/7: Replaced the N/Z and moved the Compass to an island.

Items used: All default FH stuff, put into their own group so it doesn't mess with other maps.

Release date: Currently active for V.1

Stage in creation: Testing and working on mask


SCREENSHOTS:


I call this the Compass, because it's composed of four arrows. (The waterfalls are on the flat backsides of the arrows.) It's on the island formerly known as Cape, however will not be replacing it. Cape is being moved southward.


The new L Island: Whale Island! Now with trees!


The Steps/Glitch dens new look. Wonder if they're still glitchy....


A little camp thing I added. It's south of the Y river, and north of the Plus.


That little heart-shaped thing NE of the N/Z. Does it even have a name?


The N/Z from the Ficho side.


The Stone Bridge.


-Pictures coming soon-
Temple's makeover,
Y river,
Stone bridge den.
I'm lazy, and I gotta keep a few secrets...

EDIT:  I posted without reading the last page, and it seems the thread's maker has ended the discussion. So, read it if you want. It's rather void now.




Here's my go at this. For the record, I rp all kinds of things; humans, wolves, lions, WCs, demon, etc. Just for want of variety.

Like lots of people have said, most of the good, human-centered games aren't free, or require money to get a good experience. I liked SecondLife, but you can't do diddly if you don't pay.

And, I like rping. Not aimless chat. And even when there happens to be a free, half-decent game, it's either so focus on fighting NPCs and leveling, it ends up being boring within the first couple hours. FH, on the other hand, has a great (mostly... >.>) community centered around rping. What else is there? Explore? Not if you've played so long you memorized the maps. Kill stuff? Nope. Not possible. Level up? See previous answer. The only viable interactions are through chatting, and everything else is accomplished by rp.

So do humans bother me? No, they don't.

To those who've said 'why play as a human? That's just replaying reality.' Look at it this way: I /could/, technically, rob a bank in real life. Or shoot someone, or do drugs, or be homeless, or tame a wolf. But in the first three examples, I'd get my butt locked up in prison. Not exactly a brilliant idea. The other two? Technically possible, but unwanted for reality or beyond my current abilities.

As a rper on here, or anywhere else, it doesn't matter what my character does. It doesn't affect me, personally. So one can do whatever they like. Make a nuke out of Windex? Why not! Chase people with a hotdog? Go for it!

In a world in which there are no lasting consequences and in which one can live a thousand lives that could happen, it's fun to experiment. Not just as the impossible fantasy of animals, but to pick and choose a human life and see it run its course.
