Chat Bubbles

Look the chat system is great, but it's hard to see who you're talking to some times. So I am suggesting that Chat bubbles be implemented. It would make the game more appealing, and make it easier to chat with people etc.

Moving this over to the Game Opinions & Ideas board. Although we don't have the tools to update the game itself, this is a very cute idea. I had never thought about chat bubbles for the game before.

Firstly, the staff do not have any way of updating the game right now; FH's creator abandoned the game and took the source code (way of updating) with him

As for your idea, it would make it clear as to who is talking at any given moment, but in my opinion it would be more of a hassle because many chat bubbles would take up a large portion of the screen (like, imagine seeing all those chat bubbles in Bonfire during the rush hour? Your screen would be bombarded). Plus, there's nothing wrong with sitting by someone and having your character look at theirs, is there? c:

I agree mostly in part with Kiki~

Places where congestion is frequent such as Bonfire Island and the Stone Bridge in Fluorite would be a mad house. There'd be a jumble of bubbles and I'm sure it'd be a struggle trying to see what certain people are saying. Advertising would certainly become a hassle.

But in whole, it's a nice idea; simply maybe not so good for such a crowded game as FH.

I have to agree with Kiki on this one. While it is a cute idea, could you imagine sitting on Bonfire when it's rush hour and your whole screen is just filled with chat bubbles? xD

The bubble chat sounds pretty awesome if you think about it. I totally support the idea if the source code was ever to be retrieved and shared with the staff. Sadly tho, there's not much to hope for but I'll keep this idea in mind! Great idea.

Also to combat the Bubble problem with it spamming the screen, have the bubbles seen by so many meters. Like have them go away over distance, and keep the bubbles up for only like 20 - 30 seconds.

This is a cool idea, to be honest. Even though it may never happen xD

I feel like, just like lip-syncing, there should be a way to toggle on and off the chat bubbles, for those who don't want them. So that if you need to see something, you can just turn it off.

Like the idea <3

Chat bubbles would be neat, and as JessicaBonney said, having them only visible from so far away would be cool. I do realize that the source code was never left with anyone, it would be almost impossible to implement, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to create this as a mod. Although even with the visibility being set only a certain distance, it might get crowded even then.

There are people out there willing to ha ck to get the source code. Ethical ha ckers are the best way to go. I don't know if it's legal or not, since the FHC left the project. If you could, then a Hacker could always find the Source. Modders and Ha ckers do it on games all the time like big AAA titles. So Idk.

But I got a load of great Ideas that could improve the game. I just wish the source was there. *cries in my cave*
