Funny you guys start about it.You see:i play games like guildwars and world of warcraft and i low mmo's and i had an idea in my head.I was thinking of species like vykkhers and glukkons and muds and...well all known humanoids anyway including outlaw's and steef's and if your a glukkon for example you can give slig players a job to guard a facility and turn muds into slaves and sligs can get pet's like meeches and slogs.And the vykkhers can build facility's where you make items like buttflow and homemade items,something like spices and gabbitcorn or stuff liek that and i have so menny idea's so im not ganna explain it all.But i wanted to send my idea's to oddworld inhapitends and hopping they could make a mmo outa it but i cant find a suggestion E-mail link to oddworld inhabitents.Anyway i could help with idea's for the gameplay,worldmap,species info and stuff liek that but i think you guys dont have use for that :P
(example)like in most mmo you have to pay for stuff to buy(thats why its called buy)and the money unit for natives could be spooch and for industrails moolah

The problem with Furcadia that it is player-driven which means, if you're a Slig and you want a pet Slog, either you pretend to have one and control it yourself, or have a friend who plays as your Slog. (This does not have to be roleplay, you can be lounging around casually chatting and still pretend if you want :P).
The reason I picked it in spite of this was because it's a small file over all, it will work on just about any system because the requirements are so low, and it's the simplest thing I can find out there. It takes a lot of work to draw things from scratch but in the end, it's often worth it.
---------------
On the note of progress, getting the avatars started is actually much more difficult than I thought it would be. See, unlike most of the other things I've done, Oddworld has put a lot of thought into what they have created. I made a Deku avatar once, and hey, it's a Deku. It's a plant-like creature. But we move to Oddworldian creatures, and woah. They have to be just right. They have to walk and look as Oddworld expects them to. One of the worst bumps I'm hitting is how Mudokons walk with their knees constantly bent (I know the slave ones do, at least). I actually am getting to work on a Paramite, it isn't a big worry, but it should be finished soon. I practiced on drawing them this morning.
If anyone has good drawings or pictures of species they want that happen to be facing furcadian avatar directions, (ne, nw, se, sw) that would help me lots so I can have a better idea of what they look like from different views.
Anyway, I'll really try hard to get things done. I have a question for anyone reading, though; what enviornment would you want the dream to be? I can't fit a whole lot onto one map, but I was planning some industrial facility with a native village forest outside. There should be enviornment for wildlife, natives, and industrialists, but is there anything anyone wants in particular? Suggestions like "oh, I want it like necrum!" or "put webs around where paramites live!" would help.
Use your imagination, I'm like a blind mud tryin' ta get to a bird portal without even being greeted first.
