Ideas/etc. from 'ol Goony [Expressions/Actions/Etc.]
« on: October 11, 2011, 05:14:07 am »
As we all know, one thing Feral Heart is lacking greatly is more actions. Sure, there's lots of great expressions, but some more actions would be wonderful for the sake of communication and role play.

More fun actions can include more dances [some that can't be used in sexual ways would be preferred, mainly the Moonwalk. Who here that has played IT can say that they honestly don't miss the Moonwalk action?] and a "playing stance." You know, how dogs raise their rumps in the air and such. And maybe some swatting actions, like play swatting mainly. I know I've wanted to paw at people plenty of times, perhaps that's just me.

If anything, a fighting stance would be mighty nice, just to set a mood instead of having your lion/wolf stand and glare the enemy to death. Perhaps when in the fighting stance, a lion can unsheathe its claws, then retract them when back in their regular stance.
But as for actions, licking [despite this possibly being abused it's still a cute action to have with friends. We all know actions are going to be abused one way or another anyway] and nuzzling... And a tilted head. Not just a simple head tilt, but a tilt you can turn on and off. Perhaps a tail swishing action to show anger/aggravation, and a growl/bark/hiss action, because not all felines roar and not all canines howl. It would be nice to communicate with other felid/canid sounds, anyway.
And for the sake of role play: drinking/eating actions would be a nice add. In no way should this be seen as complicated, it would just at least be a simple animation so we could specify we were omming foods or sipping at the water.

A series of growls and yelps and yowls could be added so you can chose sounds to make according to your situation. :] Other than that another needed action is ear twitches/movements. This way if your character is a generally silent one you can show you're listening to the world around you with your eaarrrrs. /cheesy


As for other ideas, if anything more objects for us to use, possibly moving ones, which would be fun.

The game obviously has some ways to go, but I'm still unsure myself if I'm excited to see items and wings come out, I somewhat like the natural feel when I'm not around blinding rainbow characters. xD However the need for more tails [some possibly shorter, like how a serval has a short tail, and etc etc] and ears and such would be nice. <3

I doubt we can get the whole rude people and mating junk out of the way, there's no real way to do that unless some one wants to mod around the game everywhere constantly telling people to stop.
Feral Heart does probably need more coders and meshers, though, that way things could get done quicker and easier without so much stress on a certain number of people. <3

Brain died before I could properly finish this topic.

Rumors spread like wildfire and confused the brain dead like I. I'm glad items aren't, since now IT is all about item grabbing.

Prey is totally fine with me, just the thought of wings urks me. Sure, they could look pretty but I still like the thought of sticking without them.

  Yeah. I was really hoping FH would be its own game, not slowly turn into IT. But it seems that's whats going on, Kovu is slowly turning it into IT.

I think, despite whether it's becoming IT or not, FH needs to be more like IT. Because everyone loved IT, and they expect FH to be the same, after all, it is created by the same person. But that's me. Moonwalk is amazing, and more than once have I logged into FH and was going to click Moonwalk before I realized it's not there. xD
So yes! FH needs more actions/emotes. Totally agreeing with ya Goon. ;3
