New Species and More
Posted by Admin-Mat on 20 Jul 2016, 3:59 pm
Greetings, villagers! Furvilla has been joined by a new species: the Shifty! This is a new rare species that can be crafted out of Tigereye Peak, and brings with it a large change to the Paintie System. Because canonically the Shifty can mimic the appearance of anything it sees, Painties for the Shifty have a large range of artist freedom and do not require the use of a Furvilla base.
The full rules for the Shifty can be read by visiting the Paintie Rules page.
We have released Morphing Potions for the entirety of species available on Furvilla. The recipes for these potions are stocking in their respective village shops, as all potions have been split up among the villages In addition, an option has been added to the Potions Shop of your village that permits you to pay the shopkeeper to obtain a specific result out of a species potion. For those of you who have been asking for a way around the randomness of a potion, especially as we release new colors for our species, this should definitely help!
In addition, some Paintie Rules have been clarified or amended by the Paintie Admins:
- Rule 1 Amendment: When creating a Paintie for a costume, the Paintie must match the base of the costume.
- Rule 2 Amendment: Species changes allowed on a Furvilla base involve subgroups of animals that are similar to each other, such as deer and goats.
- Rule 2 Amendment (2): Masks are permitted as a head edit.
- Rule 3 Amendment: Players are allowed to use base artwork of Costumes that match the Costume they are designing a Paintie for. For instance, when designing an Aquatic Wolf, players are permitted to use body parts from other Aquatic Costumes, provided they are not a costume for a rare species (which does not exist yet).
- Rule 6 Amendment: Rule Six was changed to "Painties May Not Include Prohibited Content" and also clarify that our rules regarding alcohol and drug use apply to Painties as well.
- Rule 6 Amendment (2): Indicates that the Paintie Team reserves the right to reject a Paintie for sexual content even if the specific item is not listed, if the Paintie comes off as sexual.
- Rule 8 Amendment: Players may shrink the base slightly to accommodate edits to the head area of the base, provided that the base is not made smaller than 3/4ths its original size.
Last among the major changes is that we have uncapped the ability to create villagers, though the Villagers page has a steep cost to adding additional villagers. We know that you have wanted to add additional characters to your accounts and hope that this change gives you the freedom to do so, while also providing a good sink for FurCash. We are currently working on capping all careers to a reasonable level so that the unlimited villagers option does not have a detrimental effect on the economy.
Have a great day!
Making my first shifty ^_^
Oh I can't wait. I will be able to make four more after, until I plant some more cotton seeds XD
Houses are made by your construction worker.
Are those houses?! How do you get a house? I noticed some villager slots require a house item in order to purchase another slot.
oMG YES
Fumi-LEX XD;; yeah, considering the overwhelming backlash right now? Its a wait and see, and I would certainly love to see this get implemented with closed species owners like yourself. This is def encouraging to create our own thing and not feel super restricted, so its a great idea, just a bit bad execution. But they've listened to community response before, so I think it should (Fingers crossed) be changed soon enough.
And I'd love that! I have a Fumi myself, so I'd love to have a base for my brute bb to have fun on this site!

You can still get seeds from other villages, yes. But since Tigereye is the only one with the most in-demand, most versatile potion and the only one that can spawn the supplies for it, they now have the financial freedom to ask anything they want in trade, FC, or FD because they know people will try to pay it. You can't honestly expect me to believe that the same players who want 100FC for a 10FC sellback seed that's used for a potion with a fraction of that versatility will be generous and not raise prices through the roof even though limited supply and massive demand means they can.
Thanks so much for the clarification on paintie rules! And I've gotta go get me a blob now.
This game just keeps on getting better and better! Well done for all the hard work you've put into this!
I feel like, in terms of capping the careers (since its really hard to tell what the intentions are on 'capping'), don't cap the career itself. As in, don't limit the amount of items one career can produce, but either limit how many villagers can have that career, or limit the amount of villagers that can work.
For example, there's no need to have more than 3 explorers, so the cap could be no more than 3 explorers. Or, maybe only x number of villagers can work, and players can choose how to manage what villager has what career.
I do feel like some people are getting...angry for no reason. This is beta after all, Sometimes, we won't know how something affects the game until its implemented. That's the point of beta. Trial and error until we find a way that things work well within the grand scheme of things. I'm not saying people shouldn't complain if its a bad implementation...I just think some people are getting excessively angry and hostile for no reason :T
Hmm, OK. Let's make some potions then! :D
