Furcadia screenshot Characters The character, or on Furcadia can be set to one of 11 free species, including both humans, insects, and animals. Players can choose between one of three genders: male, female, and unspecified. These genders modify the default portrait, butler (the large character art), and specitags, icons seen to the left of players' names in chat. Customization Players can customize their avatars by choosing colors from a palette. These colors are shown on the butler, walkabout, and portrait. The walkabout has a walking animation with the ability to stand, sit, or lie down. There are default portraits for each avatar, however, players may upload a 95x95 custom portrait for a small fee.
22 Custom avatars (non-gendered) may be added and used inside private dreams, for free. Each character can also have a written description, which can include character details, external links to websites, or internal links to private dreams. Some players choose to link to third-party websites to extend their descriptions beyond the character-limit the standard Furcadia description allows. Dreams The primary focus of Furcadia is.
To this end, the Furcadia game download includes an art editor, a map creating program, a skin editor, and a script editor. Users are encouraged to create their own, called Dreams, using these free tools. These worlds can be uploaded to the Furcadia server for free and used for a variety of purposes, examples being text based, a place to hang out with friends, or playing games and quests with other users, etc. Dreams remain open to the public area in which they are uploaded, so long as it is inhabited, and, if unoccupied, it is eventually unloaded automatically. While there are several types of dreams that are popular, users continue to create new things with the tools they are given. Furcadia hosts a variety of roleplaying dreams, ranging from strict-continuity roleplay (in which the dream is its own independent world) to. Roleplaying dreams also come in a number of different forms, ranging from (wild animal) to furre (anthropomorphic animal) to.
Many dreams revolve around plots and themes, based on, ancient, or original creations of Furcadia players. Furcadia itself is basically made up of several dreams, the ones made by its users and the main maps. Patches Almost all of the 6,000+ default art files shown in Furcadia can be over and displayed in a Dream, including the, buttons, avatars, items, walls, effects, lighting, ambience, portals, and floors. Additional art may be added to a Dream in file types ending with 'e', such as iteme, floore, etc., which does not overwrite the default art. Much user created patch art is available for download via third party websites. Dreams can also include the use of audio files in the, and (.mid) formats.
Scripting Players may add interactivity to dreams chiefly through a known as DragonSpeak, or 'DS'. DragonSpeak commands may be by in-game actions or by custom buttons displayed over the. Other custom scripting tools include PhoenixSpeak, which is used to store information to a permanent, and an scripting language called KitterSpeak. These scripting languages enable players to script actions ranging from the simple, like opening a door, to the more complex, such as a complete game of. Dream owners are allowed to make and use to accomplish things that DragonSpeak cannot, but these are not officially supported by Furcadia. Dream standards Although Furcadia itself is unrated, individual dreams may specify a standard which details what kind of behavior, language, and content may be allowed. Before March 2007, Furcadia used a rating system akin to the.
Since March 2007, Furcadia uses its own Dream which allows users to define exactly what kind of behavior should be allowed on a per-dream basis. The Dream standards are based on age groups, ranging from Everyone8+ to Adult Only, with specific behavior, language, and content restrictions. Some main maps—FurN and Hawthorn (previously Haven/New Haven)—immediately block the user from entering the main map if they are not within the specified age group and parental controls are enabled. Development. Furcadia developer Dr. Cat in 2009 at David Shapiro (AKA Dr.
Cat), a former employee of, launched DragonSpires as one of the Internet's first graphics-based (MUDs) in 1994. Unlike other graphical video games, DragonSpires focused on social relationships and peaceable community-building over combat and violence. The game was free to access. The novelty of the game interested multiple venture capital firms as well as Origin. The developers remade the title as Furcadia.
First opened to the public on December 16, 1996, Furcadia is developed by Dragon's Eye Productions, Inc (DEP) and later, Catnip Studios. At its public release, Furcadia featured a graphical improvement: art with a 256 color palette. At the time, Furcadia was never intended to be an exclusively 'furry' game. New support for non-remappable portraits (the first art to extend beyond 256 colors), and support were implemented in the April 6, 2007 'Kitterwing Edition.' On December 16, 2006, Furcadia became the first-ever MMORPG to celebrate ten years of continual service. Furcadia was originally designed and programmed by David Shapiro (also known as Dr. Cat, or Felorin in-game) and 'Manda (known as Talzhemir in-game).
Additional people have since been included as part owners for their work: game Emerald Kaiten Catz (known as Emerald Flame), who coordinates new development on the game, as well as who developed (and still coordinates) the Beekin volunteers project, Aleksi Asikainen (known as Fox, or sanctimonious), who created the game's editors and was involved in coding the client / server, though he no longer works for Furcadia, Ben Jans (known as Gar), the game's, and Michael Vondung (known as Cironir), who manages the community. The other DEP staff are involved with the game's art and programming development, as well as community affairs. The iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch client was released on July 19, 2010, though it is no longer available for download.
In 2012 Furcadia launched a Kickstarter campaign to renovate the entire game in a series of updates called The Second Dreaming. This campaign was successful, and raised more than $100,000.
