Forums » Art & Creativity » Alluvial's 32bit Furcadia Patches (free!)

I have several years' worth of 32bit patches from when I still played Furcadia and created content for the community. Previously paid patches, I've posted the entirety of my archive to Roamheart for download for free. I am also going to be posting up some avatar bases that I created for my own use originally.

I'd post previews here but it's like... dozens and dozens of downloads, and I am not inclined to upload and link them here. You can peep everything right here, no account necessary.

If you make neat stuff with them, please feel free to post screencaps here so I can see! 👀

The witch shack, goth rococo room, and desert outpost are my favorites! Great stuff!

I'm soooo fascinated to see which themes have gotten the most downloads. Witch Shack is up there, along with the forest floor + light beams, tree mega pack, and grass and dirt mega pack. This is like...... many years' worth of art that was just rotting on my external SSD, so I was like, heck it, let's just release them at this point.

One thing that was really interesting to me from a back end perspective is that I could really see my growing pains from when I was learning the ins and outs of the 32bit editors (like how arm rests on the rococo chairs are effects and not baked into the item because I didn't understand how layering with animation worked yet). I didn't have the wherewithal to go in and clean things up to modern knowledge/standards, but I think people can still get use out of them nonetheless.

I did upload four new avatar bases as well that are pending approval, although those are in PSD form like my other ones. I have a few more that need organizing and bundling for uploading, but this heat has me pretty tuckered out and not able to sink the brain cells into it right now. I've done a few hundred avatars, so I've got loads of avatar resources kicking around.

I should probably put together a tutorial on how I use my remap swatch tool. It's soooo great for custom avatars and remapping portraits for characters who otherwise don't match the game's color sets. I've yet to encounter a character design I couldn't translate to avatar form, no matter how wild the colors are.

That sounds awesome, despite the struggles you've had! I also look forward to the avatars when you upload them. So far, my favorite ones you've made are the feudal Japanese anthros. The feline maiko is my favorite of that set in specific - she's so cute! I have a soft spot for characters like these since I've been huge into the karyukai (the "Flower & Willow World" of geisha & yujo, for those who read this and don't know).

It kinda makes me wonder things about what an OC for that could be like: What is her okiya? How long ago was her minarai? Who is her okaa-san? Who is her onee-san? Does she have any patrons sponsoring her yet? What's her favorite instrument to play? Does she prefer dancing or playing music?

So many great ideas from just one avatar!

How fun, Lizbeth is born on Furcadia, so I might have seen or used some of these patches. I might not download them, I decided to stop playing there and go more slow paced role playing here on RPR. (Nostalgic feelings rising)

I actually made the avatar because the Edo era group I was in had hanamachi RP! We had geiko and maiko of multiple generations (so if you see any wandering around Imag with the name Mayu-, that's quite possibly my lineage). It was a big special interest of mine back in high school and college. I have loads of books and documentaries still, somewhere. It was a PG-13ish group, so no yujo, though I do have an oiran character that I made later to RP elsewhere.

I saw the movie Sakuran and was deeply inspired. It was the Japanese answer to Arthur Golden's atrocity, "Memoirs of a Geisha." He was like "oh there were no suitable Japanese women to play the part" and Mika Ninagawa was like "bet." Highly recommend it! I haven't read the manga, but the art is gorgeous.

I played the game on and off for............................. twenty years, I think, which makes me feel very old. I joined the community when I was 15. I mostly stuck to human-focused RP, though, once I was able to find it. I started making 32bit patches in 2016, as soon as I had access to polished editors to do so. It's unlikely that you've used them, unless you purchased the rights from me through Patreon, Gumroad, or Ko-fi. They were previously not free.

Oh of course, silly me. Lizbeth was created somewhere back in 2012, Max was a bit earlier, I can’t remember. Patreon is known to me (unable to say when or where). But believe me, you’re not old 😉
