Furcadia: The Second Dreaming

Posted by Kim on November 24, 2012, 4:12pm

Because so very many of you come to us from the game Furcadia, I want to make sure you're all aware of the amazing transformation that game is about to undergo; with your help. Furcadia has recently launched a kickstarter campaign to help them raise the money to update the game and become something even more amazing.

I owe Furcadia a special debt of gratitude. Their simple "Dragon Speak" scripts gently re-introduced me to the core concepts of programming. When my dad first started teaching me to program, I was 8 years old, and totally overwhelmed by the complexities of programming. As a teen, when I thought about programming, all I could remember was how frustrated I'd been as a small child. Through Furcadia, it was completely unintimidating to build my own maps and script my own games and adventures into them -- and from there, it wasn't so far a leap for me to pick up all that old schooling and forge ahead into the world of full-fledged programming, eventually producing our beloved RP Repository.

I know that many of you have made friends, spent hours, days and weeks RPing, and even learned new skills (or rekindled the love of old skills) on Furcadia. If you've got a special place in your heart for them, please consider checking out their kickstarter campaign.

I love Furc, I do minor DS on it. It's enjoyable and helps with my stress levels.

I still have no idea what a Furcadia is, but if it teachers you to talk like a dragon, I so approve of this.
