Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates
Posted by Mat on 12 Jul 2016, 12:26 pm
We have been consolidating and reviewing a lot of feedback on various rules we have, and are happy to announce that all of the updated rules have been released.
1. The Terms of Service no longer forbids breasts, but instead focuses entirely on nipple exposure. Breasts are now allowed on Painties as well as artwork posted on Furvilla provided they follow the nipple rule. We feel this best represents a SFW environment while also not implying sexualization of people with that body shape.
2. The Terms of Service clarify our position on game asset trading with other browser games. The short answer is, we are fine with trading, however, we would like you to wait until the game is out of beta before doing so.
3. The Code of Conduct now indicates that CSS should not be used to cover or alter game stat information, including hiding or altering your or your villager's stats, or replacing your villager's image with CSS.
4. Our Forum Rules have now been updated to indicate that the phrase 'illegal drugs' refers to United States federal law, as there are discrepancies between the laws of different countries regarding what is an illegal drug, as well as individual states within the US.
5. Finally, after taking in all feedback with Painties and speaking with our Paintie moderators, we have completely revamped the Painties rule page in a way we hope clarifies everything regarding Paintie rules. We have been struggling with the inventive ways that players are creating some Painties, but unfortunately some are created in ways we did not intend for our bases to be used. We hope that this guide clarifies what we consider permissible for the use of our bases and helps clear confusion.
That now covers all the rules that have been changed thanks to your feedback. We also wanted to let you know that moderator applications are now closed. We received over a thousand applications and have hired our team. We do not yet have an ETA on releasing the forums as the moderators are occupied with ironing out issues with Painties. We will provide you an update when we have an idea of when the forums will be ready to re-release.
Last, here are a list of changes that have been implemented since Monday, the majority of them from suggestions e-mailed to us:
- grayed out Change Career button when idle
- destroy unwanted recipes from career page
- removed white gradient on long Private Messages
- Transfer Currency / Transfer Item on user page
- horizontal scrollbar appear in the message box when needed
- view all recipes/their reagents for reference: searching items in the museum now provides a list of reagents (for recipes), or a link to the recipe that crafts the item, or links to all recipes that use the item
- placed a button in the blacksmith career page that straight away takes you to repair requests
- Villagers page indicates which villagers are sick and with what
- item pages now include links to NPC shops if the item stocks there
- Paintie Removal button to strip a Paintie from a villager at the user's request
- the following items can now be used from the inventory on villagers who are not the active villager: medicines, pets, recipes, costumes, species potions, hp potions
@InkArtistSans both my manokit panties have face edits! Check 37740 and 16259 for the examples. I changed their features while keeping their shapes the same.
I love Hawkfeather 's idea. We need some parts to use to edit the bases while still being within FV rules. Extra arms, hooves, wings, horns, claws, legs, etc. would be wonderful.
How can I find an item in market?The only way I know is finding a recipe with the item in it.

.PNG I believe. At least that's what is said when directed to the uploading page: 'Please note this must be a PNG file'
Maybe something like a page of 'paintie assets' is in order. A lot of the problems people have with the rare species rule seems to stem from people wanting simple common aspects of those bases. So maybe a set of feathered wings that aren't part of any base, a set of horns, claws, etc will help people with limited artistic ability by giving them access to these parts without needed to lift them from rare species.
A change that isn't listed is that the villagers on the side bar are now alphabetically sorted instead of being reverse order from the profile page. Which messes me up because I had them sorted how I liked them and now I have the one I want at the end smack dab in the middle of everyone else TT_TT
I doubt that will be reverted, though...
It also means that my sona gets shoved into the middle when he's not active, instead of on-top for easiest reactivation >.<
Okay, cool I get it sort of. But I just want to be sure of this one thing. At the time I'm making a paintie (first attempt rip) for my Dutch, but it was only now I realized the base has the large wings while my Dutch has small wings. Is it still eligible or..?
ouo I'm paranoid, forgive me.
Heya! I've got a question too! I have an OC that would generally be considered a water dragon, but the base closest to them is the Manokit! Would it be allowed to modify the Manokit's head to better fit the OC, such as opening the eyes, replacing big ears with big head-fins, etc? The body itself would remain the same, and be obvious to tell it was originally a Manokit.
Besides Makaha, I have another OC related to her that looks similar to her. I don't have any refs on hand at the moment of her, but I can show you her relative, Maui! http://imgur.com/a/QDzNn
do painties have to be submitted as .png files, or can they be .psd or even .gif (could I give my paintie an idle animation like bouncing or blinking?)
Dursky the DAD design rules do not apply here. They were forfitted for the use in the game
