So i have been thinking and have some ideas:
Character Creator:
1. A colour chooser like this one below, which is actually the one from Paintshop Pro, (as well as the already existing sliders) to make it quicker and easier to choose a specific colour without spending ages moving the sliders around.
2. Fur length should be changeable - for example you have a slider to change the size of the ears, you should also have one to change the length of the fur on your character. The same could also apply to manes and tufts.
3. A gender selection option that would show your gender in your info along with your name, username and group.
4. The ability to see who is online BEFORE you select a character, so you know who is online, where they are and therefore do not have to log on to find you need to log off then log back on again on another character. Just an idea to save time....
5. The option to have markings AND scars at the same time, instead of having scar as a marking. So your character can have their usual pelt markings then a separate option to enable to overlay your markings. Or even this option, but make it like the markings option so you could then choose from a variety of different types of scar.
6. The ability to have different coloured eyes, in the case of heterochromia, which is common in huskies. Or even the choice to have one blind eye and one normal eye (and the ability to choose which one is which).
7. A different section for markings that are included in the game to markings that are custom ones, because im always putting markings on my characters that nobody else can see without the markings pack simply by accident. To avoid this confusion perhaps a 'custom markings' list could be of use?
8. More.... markings, tufts, manes, tails in general.... (E.G my previous post with visual examples -

9. Options like..... idk.... say if you were to have a pregnant character, you could have the option to make them look pregnant, because tbh i would like to be able to tell the difference between a fat character and a pregnant one, and also that when you use the weight slider, the way the character puts weight on doesnt really change much so the difference isnt that obvious....
10. Perhaps the ability to increase your characters muscle size instead of having to increase the characters weight. And maybe there could be a possibility to go to the other extreme and have super boney characters.

Now some ingame ideas:
1. Seasons
2. New actions eg. snarl, ear flick, thrashing tail, head lowering (for example in an attack pose), play (like dogs do), and others along those lines.
3. More weather like rainbows, thunder and lightening etc.
4. just for looking nice, perhaps insects buzzing around, birds in the sky, that sort of thing.
5. The ability to turn on a chat filter would be good, so if people do not want to see cuss words then they dont necessarily have to report them. that way it might save work for Moderators and Admins so they dont have to go through messages upon messages of reports of people swearing. If they dont like cuss words, they can block them out completely with the optional chat filter.
6. when it rains, perhaps puddles should form on the ground that you can interact with, eg drink from them, splash in them (which leads onto my next idea)
7. The ability to click on an object and interact with it would be cool, like flowers you could click on it and options could come up with things such as 'play', 'eat', 'pick' etc etc. Also would be cool with water, so you could 'drink', 'splash', etc.
8. the ability to interact with each others characters would be nice. So say if you were a cub, you could click on someone's character and choose options like 'climb on', 'play with tail', etc. And if your an adult you could pick up cubs and pups by the scruff, carry them on your back etc. But in order for the interactions to occur a message is sent to the other user so they can accept the action or decline it so they're not forced into it.
9. as always, PvP and fight actions which mean you can claw a character and theyll be knocked back sort of thing....
10. Perhaps life bars such as stamina could be added if prey gets added, so they run down after a certain length of time, running making the bars decrease faster than walking, and laying down barely makes the stamina fall. Once the stamina is lower than a certain point, maybe characters could appear fatigued, weak and easily tired out, as well as hungry with audibly hunger and the characters could maybe shuffle about impatiently below that set level of stamina. Also another idea about that is if the bar reaches an even lower set point then the character could pass out for 30 seconds to a minute. Of course the stamina bar would have to be added after prey. If any of your have played Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater, then you will understand what i am meaning by this bar. Sorry, perhaps thats too many ideas......... but hey, least i got them off my chest. Lemme know what you guys think of them
