Title: Welcome to the website! + Update Previews
Post by: RakshaWw on May 30, 2014, 03:33:28 PM
Thread updated June 13th, ignore the created date

Hello everyone,
This is the new Official 'Last Moon' forum. Myz has actually purchased this web address so it's not only a forum, we have a whole website set up! Such as a proper Downloads page, Staff page, etc.
And to answer one of the first questions you may have... we have a .org website because .com was taken lol

I hope you like the setup of the forum - after a lot of discussion and debate, the staff have decided to give this website a dark space theme instead of the brighter style that the old forum had(your feedback/ideas would be great!).
We have also cut down the amount of boards as well. It makes the forum look much more small and organised. If you think we have missed an important board, let us know and we'll look into adding it.


In case some of you are interested, these are the forum posting ranks
(http://i.imgur.com/FRAAinz.png)
I will not tell you how many posts are required to earn those ranks ;D Just note that the last 3 (Eclipse, Nebula & Cosmos) may get you some ingame prizes once you have them. I will not say what the prizes are although I will say they will be very rare because these 3 ranks do require a lot of posts and you all know that single word posts, spam, etc is not tolerated so these ranks need to be earned over time!

Another thing I'm sure you're all interested in finding out more on is the new playable models that will be released in the new version of the game.
I can now 100% confirm that there will be completely new, made from scratch canine & feline playable models! These models have been made by Kino. RakshaWw will be making additional body parts such as ears, manes & tails, Forests will be doing the canine fur, Zaroque is doing the feline fur and willing staff members will be doing markings. So we're all working really hard on these models and hope you enjoy them :) They're all WIP at the moment(canine is 90% done, feline 50% done at the time of writing this) so your feedback, comments & opinions about them would be great.

These models are very low poly meaning they should not cause any lag!
Also, currently in the character creator you choose the head you want. In the update you will choose the ears you want! And the ears move in animations & emotes!
The UV map is very simple compared to the current ones so making presets will be much easier. Also, the UV map is all on one image so instead of making a head tex, tail tex etc you can just make a single texture that has all the body parts on it. This will make preset files a lot smaller.

Weather & Improved Graphics
If you have liked us on Facebook, you would have seen these images of LMs new sky, shading/lighting & terrain.

The game also has a new GUI layout, I won't post images at this time as it is not complete yet. The chat is now taking up less space & all the buttons under the Attack/HP bar have all been merged into a single Actions button(shot key G) which comes up with a menu to open your Emotes/Animations, Quests, Friends List, etc.

One last thing.. Staff Demotion, Promotion & Information.
As said before, staff will remain the same - no one is being fired just because we're changing a heap of things. If you notice a staff member is no longer on the list, they have been removed for other reasons. Rimisa has been moved up from Global Admin to Co-Owner. Zaroque has been moved up from Forum Admin/Global Mod to Admin. Joshtiger has been promoted to Developer. Shamboro has been promoted to Developer. Everyone else remains the same as they were.
We've also shortened down the staff ranks. Previously, we had ranks such as Global Admin, Game Admin, Forum Admin, etc, it has now been changed so there's only a single 'Admin' group. All Admins have powers both on forum & ingame.
We may also be hiring more Forum Mods & Map/World Developers & Mesh(3D Models) Developers soon so keep an eye on the Staff Applications board.

That's about it at this point!
The update is expected to be released around the end of July.
You can find more information on the update & ask questions on the F.A.Q.

OMG HELLS TO THE YES NEW FUR TEXTURES. That was the one thing I had always loved in FeralHeart and sorely missed when I moved to Last Moon. I'm looking forward to this update. Keep up the good work, folks! :D

Does the new update require downloading the game again? Because if it does my laptop will get even more slower.

The models are perfect lol.. Just the back legs need some work but I'm pretty sure you will fix them, xD

Yeah we needed a new forum. I despise ProBoard's current layout.

New game's looking nice. :B
Title: Re: Welcome to the website! + Update Previews
Post by: RakshaWw on June 16, 2014, 04:21:05 PM
The body will be made longer soon so hopefully that makes the legs look a little better :) If not I'll mess with them too. Feedback is important so we can make the models look perfect so don't be afraid to point out anything that looks wrong/weird

Can not freaking wait. Hopefully, I'll be back by then c:
 Will say this though, Will there be a different Texture for eyes? I think That would be pretty cool. Maybe even a option for eyes. Like different types of them.

No fur tex on these & the masks are still WIP.
This is the -most likely- final edit of the canine model in general.

Oh, the new update of the Canine bodies are looking pretty cool.

OOOOhh, love the new models! Everything is looking fantabulous*derp*. But will the old and untextured bodies still be here? I would miss them so..

Very nice, I love it and I hope my game will work so I can play it! :)

Post by: roaria on June 24, 2014, 11:45:34 PM
I've been thinking, and... i am really not a huge fan of this update now. The great heads/tails and beautiful models we already have will be gone, and i'd miss them too much. I loved LM so much, and i hate seeing it change to have such little customation, and basicly turn into a copy of Wolf Soul but with felines. It reminds me of Feral Heart almost now.

They're available on almost every other server tho?

I don't understand what you mean? There's going to be more customization than ever, possibly even fur texture(such as Curly fur, Long fur, Light fur, etc) selection.

Other than the fact that we have reflective water, canine & feline models(and more species coming in the future) & fur textures, I can't see how it seems like Feral Heart? FH neither WS have a quest system, NPC shops where you can purchase & sell items, species specific stats(run faster/slower, hit harder, etc).


Thanks for your comment though, I'm pretty sure you'll grow to like it once you're able to play :)

Post by: roaria on June 25, 2014, 02:14:03 PM
Rak, i thank you for explaining everything, but the only server with all these bodies i've ever seen is Impressive Space and it is seriously covered in rus. Dragon's Den has the tails and heads, otherwise that's it. That i've seen anyway. Don't take this as if i'm trying to argue, but i don't know it i like the new things..

Hei,
Imma throw my idea's on the table so :
Maybe it is a good idea too put ''Feline pup bodies'' and ''Canine Cub Bodies'' Into the game, Many players like to be a cub in roleplay But then its like that they are just some smaller and don't look like a cub :I

I'd like too see more new Bodies, like ehm.. Birds ? Dragons ?

And maybe it's a good idea to check everything, My Rainbow unicorn has no texture,Strong and he gives same damage as a dragon, And it cost only 2 silver ?!

Imma think for more idea's

This all sounds pretty cool! Although I will miss the old simple last moon with no body fur texture and simple IT maps, I will miss the default too, most IT servers are moving away from the original look and more to this style in their game, though the new last moon is also looking pretty good too! ^.^

I love the new models and maps although the canine's eyes don't really suit my liking but oh well. I love the texture.

The model has been updated since these photos.
Take a look at more recent update threads :D

Locking this as it's old and out of date.
