    Remember that dragon furry that was posted a couple days ago?

    I de-furrized it:




    Feedback?


    Your strength seems to be hair.
    I quite like the eyes too.

    What was the original?

    I am currently working on the next update.

    I don't really care on the color for the EXP bar as long as it's not something too out-there like bright pink, but to give my two cents as usual I feel a desaturated green might work, something that appears to be slightly-transparent when compared with the background color.

    I've messed with colors in the GUI now, and I have to say: I rather dislike having green in the pallet.
    It seems very odd.
    I'll probably make the bar less 'sectioned', however.


    Quote from Rydian


    My concern wasn't so much the primary color, but the lack of definition. The contrast is so low, and the color scheme so narrow, that other than the facial features (first shot) they just look like dark blobs (second shot).

    I've tried making untamed wolves greyer and darkening the shading on their coats. The detailing is much more obvious now!

    Quote from Rydian

    Awesome, I'll see what I can make. What's the proper pronunciation of the pack and your username? ^^;


    Xenocontendi is pronounced something like: Zee-no-con-ten-dee.
    The latter part, contendi, is where the word 'contend' comes from.



    Disethas is a bit more complex.

    Disethas can rhyme with
    'His DEATH Mess'
    or perhaps
    'Frizz METH Less'
    The emphasis is on the middle syllable.


    dɪsɛθɛs is the notation in IPA.

    I also tend to speak the θ with stress on the T, and the S at the end may or may not come out like a Z. The A near the end is very light, so it usually ends up closer to an E sound.


    Quote from Rydian

    EDIT: Also, is it just me or are the clouds messed up?


    I've noticed that. Not sure what could be causing it.

    Three questions, because I love bothering you. ^^;
    • What's with the EXP bar numbers?


    This was long before exp was given a purpose; I decided to make nice numbers along the meter so one could keep track of it.
    The meter turned out to be very tenuous and didn't fill square-by-square, so the numbers could indeed seem odd.
    I can easily remove the numbers if you'd like!


    If anyone likes the numbers, let me know.

    I can see someone wanting the bar to be green; as the numbers are precoded green. I personally despise the hue of green used for the text and would love to change it.

    Messing with green for the foilage is a strange experience. I adore certain colors of green and hate others.
    The English language has not suited itself to describing shades of green.


    Quote from Rydian
    • I think dog/wolf skins look odd, they're almost entirely shades of grey and look like a lighting error, is that how it's supposed to be? I can grab some screenshots if it's just me or something.


    Huh, that doesn't sound right. They're a brownish grey color. A screenshot would be informative.

    Somewhat related to the subject: I was actually toying with the idea of making untamed wolves a bit greyer so they could contrast better with the tamed dogs.


    Quote from Rydian
    • Would you like a short little spotlight video on your pack?


    That would be fantastic, actually. I feel rather obscure.

    There's a missing pixel in your clay D:


    Good eye; didn't notice until you pointed it out. Thanks.

    The fix for that should be added very soon, alongside new netherbrick, magma slimes, and perhaps other changes.

    I'd like to inform that CTM messes up the newer sandstone blocks. They display as normal sandstone until you disable CTM.
    This definitely needs to be amended.

    Bluhhh; if you put text above or below the signature, it will distort the image and cause blurring.
    I can insert a credits' page.

    In the next version I'm probably going to edit the nether brick textures so they're more pleasing to the eye. I've found myself rather unhappy with their appearance.

    I also have had a request for a hotbar alternative where the selected box's gold rim will pop out a bit, not unlike the vanilla hotbar.

    I did make an awkward comment about him though. Some song came on, I said something along the lines of "She has a kind of pretty voice." The response was "She's a he."


    My first impression, about two or three years ago, was when someone (a girl) on Mabinogi suggested I composed a Justin Bieber song.
    "Who?"
    I quickly googled 'Who on Earth is Justin Bieber?' and found
    video.
    Deduced his origins soon after. A few weeks later, intense Justin Bieber hate sprang up across the internet.

    Apparently 'Who [the f***/hell/s***/on Earth] is Justin Bieber?' was a very popular search term on Google around the time this happened.

    Not entirely what I meant.

    My sister is 13 years old, has Justin Bieber all over her walls, intentionally misspells words on FB & Twitter, and has a crush on Justin Bieber and other people (such as actors etc).


    To be fair, he is objectively handsome/cute. His appearance is usually what sells his music.

    posted a message on A message to everyone - and to those under depression
    Quote from Acetyl

    How are you, how are you feeling. Why do you think you feel this way? When did this start, what would you want to do about it?



    What you described there is called therapy.
    Therapy is not a cold and callous process, and a simple pill that can fix some instances of depression isn't an indicator of an uncaring system. Usually therapy comes long before any medication is prescribed.

    they have told us that this isn't a democracy and if it was it would be a wreck.


    This is what people don't tend to realize, perhaps Americans in particular. Putting things to a vote is not always an option. I've never gotten the impression that any of the admins are belligerent though.

    Quote from Kaeetayel

    Fun fact: The "belieber" stereotype is true. My sister is one to the T.


    This seems almost recursive. A Justin Bieber fan is a fan of Justin Bieber?
