CLOSED ALPHA PROGRESS:
100% Completed

Cervidae

is a game where you can explore the forest and fields as your deer. And collect antlers or decorations. Making the game very collection oriented. There will also be quests for you to do to earn tokens to trade in for very rare and valuable deer/items/pets.


These Preforums have many contests with amazing prizes. So be sure to join and check back often! Click here for more information (As the site will be using a premade code 'package', the site progress will jump up quite quickly when our coder becomes available in the next couple months.)

Hey everyone, first off sorry for the lack of updates. We've kind of hit a wall.. as far as development and I know I personally have had a hard time trying to get back into the swing of things. Anyhow this is just a small survey if you'd please fill it out :)

1. Would you be overly upset if we did a limited breed release? The reason behind this is that finding an Artist willing to draw one item on 13 different bases within my price range is proving to be impossible. I realize items would have to be drawn for all species eventually.

2. If you're not in favor of the first question, would you be upset if we made the Male and Female of each species the exact same pose? So Elk, caribous etc, would each have their own pose but the genders would be the same. Making slight changes to genderfy the poses would be a reasonable idea too.

3. What can Tevayus and I do to make your game experience better? I'm not necessarily talking about features to add, but what do you want to see from us?

4. Originally the idea was to collect items and dress up your deer, but as noted, finding an Artist is not going well. I just simply cannot afford to pay much and it has never been my goal to pay in game credit. Thus what items do you absolutely want to see and what time line would you like new material to be released on?

1. I would be a bit upset by the lack of species of deer

2. perfectly fine with same poses for male and female. they pretty much are all females till you put antlers on them. lol

3. little more in the update issues. like the main site is offline or something
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/cervideer/cervideer.com/news.php on line 2
or activity, games or something dunno

4. dress up is a nice function, though set spots for said items is kind of lame I was hoping for drag and drop set up, and avoid all the items that would require 13 different redraws. flora, stuff that only needs art once and you can hue slide the poop out of it and get many items. like trees, green teal, yellow, orange, red, white [snow] and dead. plants shrubs.
fauna birds, mice, bugs. stone ruins, whisp-o-wills.

not sure on timelines, :U

Rhee, are you sure you're using the right url? The site loads fine for me.
http://www.cervideer.com/

And I am really hoping we can do the item drag around, but I have no idea how that works coding wise so we'll all have to sweet talk Tevayus into figuring it out ;)

@jules
yeah now it works I was using an older cached link to the news and that no longer worked :P
if we do item drag around it would limit the need for drawing most items over again

and honestly if there are enough deco items the harness and bells and all the fit to body type items can wait till the site is pretty much self sustainable
I'm all for text based adds as well for the little bit of extra revenue.

Sorry for the late response!

1. As long as there were enough breeds released in the beginning (say 3 species or 6 bases) I'd be alright with it. I would hope that a few more would be released within a few months though.

2. I'd be fine with the same pose, it's not too big of a deal to me

3. I just like to see continued communication and keeping us up to date on what's going on c:

4. I don't know if I had any items I was absolutely hoping and praying for, but I would say maybe some floral or plant-based items (like the laurels). As for the timeline, possible every 6-7 weeks or so? I don't know the usual standard for this sort of thing, so I'm not sure if that's wildly unrealistic? :0

1. Have you tried searching on dA too? Perhaps artists from the group known as Fawnlings?

2. I don't mind poses really. Just standing is enough.

3. Communication please and keeping us to date is really all that's needed right now. Even small bits is good :3

4. I really don't like to dress up animals. Antlers is fine for caribou and the rest of the stags. For does, I can imagine flowers and some grass accessories and that's it for now on me. As for the timeline, every month as Jagwar said is pretty reasonable.

DA was one of the first places I looked, unfortunately alot of the artists I found were very expensive, even in pet site commissions and with no money coming in from the site right now and my financial status is in shambles there's no budget for art. I pay what I can, but sadly some payment is in game credits/incentive which most artist's are not willing to do, which I completely understand. With that said, we do have 2 new artists working for us so we're better off now then we were when I first made this post.

Also we will be keeping all the bases, with different versions for male and female. I haven't decided yet if they will be released all at once, or we might do a seasonal thing with some of them.
