Flight Rising Discussion

[b]Note[/b]: We've seen an increase in "ETA" type questions. We know you're excited about upcoming features (we're excited, too!) but we don't provide estimated release times. Any number of things can happen during the development process to delay or indefinitely delay a feature or update. [quote]What is the design and creation process like for new Familiars? Do artists come to staff with sketches and ideas? Do the staff tell the artists what kind of creatures they are looking for? How long does it usually take from Idea Creation to Release? Can you show us any old drafts of Familiars that didn't make the cut?[/quote] It's a little of both. For some familiar projects, a clear description of what is required is provided to the artists. For some projects, a loose prompt is provided so the artist has a bit more freedom. And some projects are artist's choice, and the artist presents a sketch for consideration/approval to move onto a final design. [br][br] [quote]Will battle stuff, apparel, eggs, and other rare drops be added to the Crystal Pools?[/quote] Yes, they will. Once the rare drop item release for Crystal Pools comes out, we'll be updating the loot table to also include eggs and battle stones. [br][br] [quote]Is a Tundras fur water-resistant, or would any non-water tundra thrown into the water suddenly weigh twice its original weight from its fur soaking it up?[/quote] Their fur is water-resistant, but not water proof. They have a double coat. If water penetrates the coarse outer coat protected by natural oils and reaches the undercoat, the tundra would become wet and waterlogged. [br][br] [quote]not a site-wise question, but i was wondering if it was alright to include some FR elements into NaNoWriMo ? i'm writing a story and i realized i've put in some things from here but i want to make sure that's alright ??[/quote] If you're writing a story with intent to publish/sell, we ask that you set it in your own original world rather than using the [i]Flight Rising[/i] IP. If you'd like to make a fanwork available online free, we think fanfiction is great as long as it is clearly designated as such! [br][br] [quote]When feeding dragons you get a pop saying "All of your dragons are happy and full of energy" and yet Tomo has a question asking something like "What emotion has never been seen on a dragon"...answer: Happiness. So do they experience happiness or not?[/quote] The question was "[i]The Brilliant Bobtail Squid conveys its emotions through bioluminescent displays. Which emotional display has never been observed by a dragon?[/i]". The question was about the squid. Both the squid and the dragon can be happy, but a squid is never happy to see a dragon! Onomnomnom.
