Open Beta

Furvilla will be in open beta registration from July 1st - July 8th. During this period, any player who is interested in engaging in the open beta is welcome to register an account. Accounts will be given a beta trophy upon registration that will remain with their account when launch is scheduled. After the registration period, the game will commence through beta until it is prepared for launch, in which registration will open again.

A note about beta testing: the goals of beta testing are finding and eliminating bugs in the game as well as attempting to balance to economy. Ideally, the amount of money and items flowing into the economy from the game's features should equal the amount of money and items flowing out of the economy into the features. We may reset currency/items, accounts, or features as we work to balance the game so it's fun without being too hard or too easy. We anticipate that players will be able to keep their accounts, but they may not be able to keep all the contents of the account.

A note on premium currency: the premium currency (FurDollar) functions are working right now. While we don't anticipate having to reset premium currencies or items, please know that if we do (such as a bug is discovered that generates premium currency) we will promptly return the currency and items to their purchasers immediately after.

Happy testing!

    • Guess it's kind of quick but already had a few more comments. I hope this isn't to much, never really beta tested anything before, feel free to ignore me!

      1. Navigation is kind of hard. A lot of things there's only one way to access it and it's not the most obvious. You need drop down menus when scrolling over the bar. An example would be when you wave your mouse over Inventory. There should be the ability to click to your inventory where you then have options such as quickstock, etc at the top. However, there should also be a drop down menu where you don't have to click thru to the menu, it would just say quickstock, transfers, stalls, stables, etc.
      2. When you buy an item from a stall there is no way to view that stall without going to the user's profile. There should be an option when browsing items in the stalls to go directly to that persons stall from the page. Also an option to view the stall after buying something from it.
      3. I don't know if it's done purposely to make the game tougher, but maybe consider showing the gender of the companions a user is going to buy before they buy them?
      4. Considering the limit on inventory many sites use a deposit box or bank to store money and items, that could be very useful.
      5. Lastly, the town hall page is very cluttered, you have to scroll down a lot to view everything. Using the scroll down menus you could split the town hall into multiple sections. Shops, places/jobs/ and passing wanderer.
      6. Maybe instead of showing one passing wanderer at a time have an Inn in place of something like an adoption center. It could say something like "You stumble across an Inn full of passing wanderers. They all seem to be keeping to themselves and you wonder if perhaps one of them would like to join you. Why not ask?" Then instead of showing one at a time show like four that users could choose from.

      That's it for now again! Been exploring the different jobs so far and it's been pretty fun! Let me know any other way I could help or clarify my above ideas.


    • Aw man, last post I mean't to write "So none of this may even be Furvilla's fault." Brain went ahead to the next part of that sentence.
      As a suggestion, maybe add the ability to edit posts here, in case we muck up on our grammar and don't notice until after posting~.


    • Hmmm. Sorry for posting again, but I am having an issue.
      I have no idea if it my internet dying as the night becomes late or not, but it takes a while for pages to load. If they even do. During my last battle session, I had to refresh five or more times. The server could, however, be becoming overloaded due to the sheer number of new members flooding in. Or it can even be lag due to advertisements, but I am unsure.
      The site, I have no idea what site it is that you guys are running on, seems to be having a lot of issues lately. On one of the other games I play, the site keeps crashing there as well. So none of this may even be Furvilla's site, but rather the host site. I am not sure however.


    • id like an option where i can report myself


    • 1. I have gotten multiple different errors while exploring the site. The time out error 522, and also a 404 error when I was first attempting to sign up, among other errors. Possibly just due to an overload at that time?
      2. The way the user shops are sorted by price can be kind of confusing. You have items priced by furcash and furdollars mixed in with each other. It is very easy to accidentally spend furdollars instead of furcash if not paying attention. Perhaps add a way to sort items bu FC or FD?
      3. I would love to see a few mini games in the future! I know it probably won't be an addition at this time but they could really add a lot. There could be trophies for high scores, ways to earn a little cash, etc.
      4. A map to explore the world would also be great. When I selected my town it wasn't clear to me that would be the only one I would be able to access. I know they all have different items so the ability to explore different areas, and get those items would be great.

      I'm pretty new but looks like it has a lot of promise! I would love to see the forums up and running again, but I am enjoying the art and content I've seen thus far. I will try to leave more thoughts for you soon!


    • First,
      I randomly seem to get an Error505.
      Second.
      If we could have an option of world exploration so that we can get items from other towns, that would be great.
      Third.
      Maybe do hourly shop updates with new stock? So far I've seen very limited items in shops. Maybe even make them limited number until the hourly updates?
      Fourth.
      Houses. I see that I have one, but I can't customize it or actually see it? It would be amazing to be able to get that "home" feel. Maybe make it a bit more immersive.


    • alSO PLEASE DONT JUDGE ME IM TRYING TO HELP I Dont know what being a beta tester includes im just trying to help dcbhdbghjs i sound so annoying also im rly nervous so forgive me for ,, so much awkwardness dhsbjcbdshcbusbshbdj


    • sO i sent a message to someone about all this but everyone's posting stuff about stuff here so i'm gonna ,, Contribute ,, also disclaimer this is all copy/paste (mostly),, anyways here's some,, commentary + suggestions + critique + major awkwardness and anxiety ft. Me, your friendly nervous neighborhood genderless void

      "ok so my encounters: website goes offline like always (error 520, as i'm sure you've noticed, i'm sure this'll be fixed soon but yea), account settings like don't exist (they just worked as of now but like the page generally crashes for me), random typos (list below), painties is like the worst name you could've chosen i'm so sorry (maybe that's opinion-based but .. i think the site's users, as a whole, agree w/ me), i think that's it

      some of the items w/ typos i've noticed include:
      the Spiderweb in the Haunted Weaponry shop (punctuation),
      the Beast Pattern Book in the Supernatural Supplies shop (what is even happening in that sentence),
      the description of the Eerie Objects shop (what im not even gonna point it out just go read it),
      the description of the Witch's Brew shop (i think?? the very last punctuation mark is odd),
      the Wolf Morphing Potion Recipe (same abt the punctuation),
      the Black Bat in the Slimy Companions shop (punctuation?????),
      Animal Fangs from exploring (is that even a description),
      Eyeris Seed from exploring (punctuation?????????? idk??),
      Haunted Pine Slab from exploring (ghdbvdbb punctuation),
      Infection Plant Seed from exploring (pUNCTUATION),
      Knuckle Bones from exploring (is that.. supposed to be a question mark im not even sure),
      Slime Bucket from exploring (guess what!! thas rite!! punctuation!!!!!!)

      thas all for now im done whining about punctuation

      also this is purely a suggestion not a critique: i think there should be a section discussing the differences between gender options (and maybe a ref for the symbols) bc despite the fact i am a pansexual/panromantic genderless void of Gayness, i don't quite understand or recognize the terms or the differences between specific ones (ex: genderfluid and genderflux) so like ,, yeah. i've done minor research but it's still so ...... confusing and i just think it would be helpful dnbchdbdsesjh

      aLSO can we not change our town??????? i regret my choice so much,, is that just like .. not an Option? i understand the items are specific to the town but what if like we sold all our items or received the new town's equivalent ??? or something ????? idk i know its complicated esp. for beta but there i said it ,, i dont wanna make a new acc but ....... contemplating"

      ok thats all goodbye im gonna go,, be awkward somewhere else lmao


    • Hmm, seem to be getting an Error 520 now and again.
      No matter, probably just a little bug. I have no idea what could be causing it however.
      Hopefully it is an easy fix for you guys :)!


    • what kind of crazy world is this where you have to scavenge for raw materials to build everyday items but leather boots come premade and you can just pick them up off the ground
