Is Furcadia going 3D?
This is a rumor that’s been going on for as long as Furcadia has been around. It probably got a boost in 1997 when a furre announced that they were creating “3D Furcadia”. (They weren’t affiliated with us, they just thought they could use the name.) Every so often somebody decides to do that. So far, nobody has, yet, and we aren’t currently planning on it. The short answer is “No, probably not.” If you’d like a little more explanation, read on. What has actually been discussed at Dragon’s Eye is making *just* the walkabouts 3D. The reason we might want to do this is to expand the repertoire of motions for the characters. Provided that all the characters remained bipeds, they could be given waving, dancing, handshaking, etc., animations. (If you want to know first-hand how this affects roleplaying and the feel of the game, you can check out The Sims Online or City of Heroes, which do this as well and smoothly as can reasonably be done in a multiplayer online game.) talz.coh.gif In my op
