Seeking Programming Talent
Posted by Staff on 7 Jul 2017, 2:00 pm
We come to you today with the unfortunate news that our developer has been missing since the server move in June. We know that some of you have been waiting for a fix to the daily streak, and many prospective players have e-mailed us expressing concern over being unable to join the game, but we have not been able to fix these problems without the aid of a developer. It appears at this time we must accept the inevitability of finding another programmer.
Until we are able to find a new programmer, the Oceandome event is on indefinite hiatus. Our focus right now is going to be finding a developer who can fix the registration bug and fix the IP queue (which was unfortunately damaged during the server move as well). At that point, we can address the daily streak and start thinking about the Oceandome event again, as all of the documents for the event are planned out and much of the content is ready, we simply need the programming to go forward with our plans.
This lack of programming staff has thrown a big wrench into all of our planned changes, so please bear with us while we try to find someone who can appropriately tend to our codebase. As you may guess, Furvilla is a very large and complex site. As such, we have to be vigilant with who we hire to ensure their skill level matches the demands of the codebase.
That said, if you are a programmer familiar with PHP and the Laravel framework and are interested in becoming a Furvilla developer, please contact us with your portfolio at [email protected].
We hope to find a new developer soon so we can get back on track. We'll let everyone know when we've found a good match!
NOTE: The Oceandome Event is NOT BEING CANCELLED, the Event is simply being POSTPONED.
Thank you for letting us know of the delay! It's cool! I'm rooting for you staff!
Oh no that's really bad to hear...
But I'm rooting for you and hope you find someone reliable. Personally I don't mind the event being postponed though. It's kinda sad but I actually prefer you doing it the way you are doing now. So good luck!
That must be so frustrating! I hope you find someone soon. If not soon, I'd personally rather have the Oceandome event delayed than have the related items released with no event until next year. Events are fun.
What a dang mess... It's disappointing but that is pretty minor to me personally. Most players will get over it. I just fear for the future of the site if you feel comfortable hyping players on something that you seem to have never gotten confirmation on happening in the first place.
It sounds like you guys are are having trouble managing your relationships with your devs. How do you plan on improving owner-developer relationships in the future? Are you going to be hiring people on full time?
Oh boi.. It just me or Oceandome has one bad of the luck? I hope you will find a shining start in programming soon. I will patiently await.. I am just slightly disappointed that this wasn't announced sooner since if it was we could have a new developer by now but i understand that sometimes things just don't work out. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Oh, I see, I was not aware of that. >_<
Oh gosh, I hope nothing bad happened to them. D: Good luck, Furvilla! If my coding/website knowledge included those things I'd offer.
This is very sad... I've only started working on programming so I wouldn't be that much of a help. Good luck!
Salem I see now. Yeah, definitely a streak of bad luck right there.
