Firstly this game sounds interesting and I can't wait to see updates and rhings that will be added to show the progress of the game(?). I may not be able to help create the game as I have no experience in that department but I could give ideas and draw the tiger character if I find the time to; not the skelaton type as I'm not that talented but could draw outlines etc (also no animated but maybe different positions). But I must inform put me at the bottom for the sketches as I don't know if I'll find time to do it quick or at all as school is coming up and my social life. But I'll try.
Anyway enough of me babbling on and here are some ideas;
1- You could have 2 modes. A free play mode where you get the chance (like feralheart) to roam around freely in your own personalized character and role-play with other users; making groups, adding them as friends stuff like that. (But tigers are mainly solitary so people may choose to just 'hang out' instead of making a group).
2- The ability to hunt and do many other actions. Every game gets a little boring when the only movement you can do are jump, sit, lay, crouch and stand. So maybe add a few more such as maybe dig, climb, scratch, bite, pick up, hold on, swim, leap, lay down (in different positions), sit up/down (different positions), claw, roar, growl/snarl/hiss, maybe the ability to mate for the obviously older characters if you are making it realistic based, fold ears, twitch nose and whiskers, wag,sway tail and sleep.
2- Maybe add a section (again like feralheart) make an emotion part where you can add a few emotions to your characters face, obviously not with the 'Troll' face or 'Lol' face. More like more realistic ones like snarl/growl/hiss, smile, possibly a tongue out one for water, ear drops, rage, lick, like a playful type face, sleeping and many more.
3- The ability to hunt would also be good and if you choose (in the option menu) you get to choose if you want the food bar etc. Also a water bar showing how much water you've drank and maybe one telling you that you need air after being in the water.
4- You get a request. This meaning if another persons character wants to fight you they click on your character and a box comes up (showing many other options) and you click on fight which allows you to send a figh request and if they decline you down fight; but if its accepted you choose actions from the action box and choose to fight to the death or just a small clash (obviously again and option) and you fight.
5- Make it realistic. So when you fight real blood and fur will come out and your tiger will be marked with wounds. If hunting you get to actually eat the prey, you get to pick up cubs etc.
6- Make different maps. As we know different tigers live in different terrains, so maybe a arctic one, savannah/india type and and a forest type one, also a zoo/city one.
7- You may get to choose if you want to be wild or in captivity. If you do this you must follow rules and things, the humans (Who will obviously be played by the computer) can come near you and you click on them choosing actions for them to do to you; feed, realease, show and even pet if your tame.
Ok so sorry for the essay but I thought of these off the top of my head, and well. I kinda liked the ideas I came up with. Sorry if the ideas I have suggested are to complicated to do (as this often happens with me xD) I understand. But if you want a chat about some bits of what I've said or about other ideas feel free to pm me.
-Good luck
Taylor.
