Why do we still use FA?

Furry Reddit - Tue 17 Feb 2015 - 12:03

So lately, I've been doing some digging about all the --shit-- fun stuff that's happened in FA's history.

From the bad track record of choosing Mods and Admins, to the leaked notes between Dragoneer and some, unscrupulous people.

Needless to say, the site is broken. (Robots.txt anyone?)

So why do we stay? I understand that the community is so huge, compared to some of the other sites available to us, and that's a huge draw for artists trying to develop a base of watchers and commissioners.

I'm asking you guys because I genuinely have no idea why I, or anyone else still uses the site when there are alternatives that are much more fleshed out and are all around better from a back end standpoint.

Halp.

EDIT 1: So the general consensus is that it's moving thousands of people that would be bad. So, instead of just talking about how shitty it is, why don't we all try to come up with some sort of way to fix the shittiness? I always thought that if FA had the capability (Funds) to rework every damn thing, they would do it. I see the kind of, "It's not broken; don't fix it" mentality whenever I read the announcements about changes.

Questions on reference sheets.

Furry Reddit - Tue 17 Feb 2015 - 09:46

So I'm thinking about commissioning a reference sheet of my 'sona but don't really know where to start. He's never been drawn before and I really have no artistic aptitude, so drawing something myself is out. My question for you artists are, what is your usual procedure for this sort of thing? What would be the best way to prepare?

If there was a furry browser MMO similar to Furcadia, Club penguin and Animal Jam, what would you like to see in it?

Furry Reddit - Tue 17 Feb 2015 - 07:09

I'm researching different online MMOs and I was going to make a concept of one to put on my portfolio. Does anyone have any ideas? I have a few already.

  • No in game purchases, donations only
  • Hosted on a Linux server
  • Multiple maps
  • Chat + Teamspeak compatibility
  • 2.5d
  • Customisable anthro animal character
  • HTML5 based

/u/electricfoxx MUF (Maybe, Lua scripting.) Very customizable character format. You could always have default characters to choose from.

/u/Rolo_Swag Instead of waving to other players you can hug them

/u/Chake1 A good soundtrack from artists that furries will know e.g. Niic, renard, etc. and an economy/house building system. Customization in furries is absolutely key. A decent plotline.

/u/Eddyoshi Being able to role play in it like in a D&D type way, Roleplay gear, etc Actions can be used between players such as hugging, kissing etc.

/u/shastrocks Vector graphics to make the game scaleable (SVG files instead of bitmap) In house code

/u/Admiral_Fuzzles

  • Player auction house. Found a rare thing you don't want, but the merchants are ripping you off? Throw it up on the market for your own profit. (Kinda wish they had this for GTAV with cars...)

  • Party/Group System. This would disable friendly damage, and missions payouts/rewards would be split evenly between joined group members. Nothing overcomplex, just "create group" and "invite/boot from group" options. Additionally, players could offer mercenary services for a percentage cut of the reward, if for some reason they don't want to be in a full-on group/alliance.

  • Minimize DLC. Too much DLC fractures the playerbase. The DLC should also stay cosmetic, no XP Boost/unique weapons.

  • Player Houses. Just a personal preference. Spend money to upgrade/customize. And let it have STORAGE SPACE. I hate carrying everything on me at all times. L

Looking for a furry movie.

Furry Reddit - Mon 16 Feb 2015 - 23:51

I'm looking for a furry movie. All I can remember is that the movie was in Spanish and the plot was mainly about some kids who friend dies and as a result they construct fursuits. I know this film exists and I need to find it again.
