old fr screenshots please! | Flight Rising Discussion

The old roundhorns had a nicer, more natural appearance but WHEW they were SO janky on all but like, three breed poses because of how they were like, pasted onto most dragons with no regard to the head angles.

Vin: We don't have any screenshots ourselves, but we do know of a few interesting things from earlier FR! I'm a big fan of beta, prototype, etc things for games, and FR is no exception.

Undel's DeviantArt has a lot of interesting concept art for dragons and other assets, including early deities and alternate hatchling poses!

One I think is interesting are Guardians, which originally male hatchlings would have a beard!

The deities also looked much different, check out the Flamecaller, then called The Fire Lord, who had a more phoenix-like design!

I believe there might also be more in Undel's book? Though we don't own it, it's on our wishlist though.

Look at this Coliseum concept with the old website concept! I don't think I've seen that banner asset anywhere, also the "refill" next to the gems (though that might be for beta testing).

A couple tidbits from the kickstarter as well
-There was a tier to design a an item, and these were Amethyst Striker, Emerald Striker, Onyx Cobra, and Opal Cobra by Opal; Ancestral Incense by EW; Depleted Sacridite, Impure Sacridite, and Sacridite by Darrin P; Haunted Stone Orb by Nick B; Moonglow Foxtail and Wispy Foxtail by KravenFoxy; and Nickel Cat Figurine by MiKayla.
-Similarly we had monster sponsors, and these were Bamboo Phytocat by kiohl; Bluemoon Aviar and Renegade Aviar by ZeSethis, Brilliant Psywurm and Psywurm by Mythka, Clouddancer and Sunspot Clouddancer by Vahilor; Crimson Emperor and Death's-Head Stag by Windswept; Nochnyr and Permafrost Impaler by Zen.
Poultrygeist by Madame; Salve, Sickle, and Scythe Kamaitachi by Larthan; Shalebuck and Venerable Shalebuck by Tumblebuck; Spinel Vulstal and Tourmaline Vulstal by Lune.
-Then there was an apparel sponser and we got the Peacekeeping apparel sets by DragonMistress and Face Mask/Haori apparel sets by Jazz!
- Then there was one for a gene, and this ended up being Seraph from warriorjames!
-Skydancers were also a sponsored breed by Scorpius!
-There were also button sets released, I wonder who got them? I'd love to see picture !
-There was also a dragon sketch tier and I really wonder who got that and what their sketch was!
-There was a physical beastiary book released! I think some pages were also released on Undel's DA, but I would love to own one of these.
