New Species and More
Posted by Mat on 20 Jul 2016, 3:59 pm
Greetings, villagers! Furvilla has been joined by a new species: the Shifty! This is a new rare species that can be crafted out of Tigereye Peak, and brings with it a large change to the Paintie System. Because canonically the Shifty can mimic the appearance of anything it sees, Painties for the Shifty have a large range of artist freedom and do not require the use of a Furvilla base.
The full rules for the Shifty can be read by visiting the Paintie Rules page.
We have released Morphing Potions for the entirety of species available on Furvilla. The recipes for these potions are stocking in their respective village shops, as all potions have been split up among the villages In addition, an option has been added to the Potions Shop of your village that permits you to pay the shopkeeper to obtain a specific result out of a species potion. For those of you who have been asking for a way around the randomness of a potion, especially as we release new colors for our species, this should definitely help!
In addition, some Paintie Rules have been clarified or amended by the Paintie Admins:
- Rule 1 Amendment: When creating a Paintie for a costume, the Paintie must match the base of the costume.
- Rule 2 Amendment: Species changes allowed on a Furvilla base involve subgroups of animals that are similar to each other, such as deer and goats.
- Rule 2 Amendment (2): Masks are permitted as a head edit.
- Rule 3 Amendment: Players are allowed to use base artwork of Costumes that match the Costume they are designing a Paintie for. For instance, when designing an Aquatic Wolf, players are permitted to use body parts from other Aquatic Costumes, provided they are not a costume for a rare species (which does not exist yet).
- Rule 6 Amendment: Rule Six was changed to "Painties May Not Include Prohibited Content" and also clarify that our rules regarding alcohol and drug use apply to Painties as well.
- Rule 6 Amendment (2): Indicates that the Paintie Team reserves the right to reject a Paintie for sexual content even if the specific item is not listed, if the Paintie comes off as sexual.
- Rule 8 Amendment: Players may shrink the base slightly to accommodate edits to the head area of the base, provided that the base is not made smaller than 3/4ths its original size.
Last among the major changes is that we have uncapped the ability to create villagers, though the Villagers page has a steep cost to adding additional villagers. We know that you have wanted to add additional characters to your accounts and hope that this change gives you the freedom to do so, while also providing a good sink for FurCash. We are currently working on capping all careers to a reasonable level so that the unlimited villagers option does not have a detrimental effect on the economy.
Have a great day!
So...only one village can make it though? Seems a bit rigged but okay.
The costumed pets having to use a costumed base seems kind of wrong to me. The reason I say this is that if I dressed up one of my current painties into a costume, does this mean that I lose the paintie? And if not, does this mean you can now REMOVE my paintie for "not matching the species" just because it's not in the costume currently on the species?
I think that costumed pets should be allowed to use the regular base for their species as well as the costumed one if they so want. But removing the base from the costume options doesn't seem right to me :/
Thank you thank you thank you <3
The custom species is the most fair way to add the option to create custom painties, so very happy to see this
I love the shifty idea! Mostly because I'd rather use my own sort of art style over using someone's base ;w; this is so awesome!
I agree with people are saying that having the ability to make a custom species being restricted to one village is a bit unfair.
I'm super glad to hear about the removal of the villager cap! I'm going to have so many...
THANK YOU!
I just love it <3
I can finally create my western dragon :3
YOU STAFF ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you for unlocking villagers!! <33
Oh so now I have to save up for a shifty potion too.
People on Tiger Eye Peak, once the recipe is open to buy let me know and I'll buy one over or if it's expensive (5k) and you want one, I'll trade the recipe for a DAD one. :}
