Kasurian Atlas (Furcadia map project)

Just making a thread for this so I can bump it later.

Some stuff I'm hoping to tackle next:

• Jujinka & Summer festival
  
• Free dreams offered in the Patch Archives
  
• Some more maps from Furcish Download Heaven
  

Speaking of, I was thinking it might be nice to cover the whole contents of the Patch Archive, but I don't know necessarily how relevant that would be... there's some really wild stuff in there, though...

I've reformatted the official maps section (it looks worse right now, but in the long run it will look better) and added the seasonal maps I do have. I thought I had Jujinka's but I do not :(

I also made a section for maps of misc source.

My personal highlight: "Meovanni turned into hell"

I made a links section. For the past week I have gone through dozens, literally nearly a hundred links looking for more. I think I might have exhausted everything that can be trivially found without connections.

So towards the end I started going a little crazy looking for any more leads. On Songhigh Knoll I found evidence of a "message maker" and even found a picture of it in the Furcadia archives. It looks like one part Animal Crossing mail, one part that sticker drawing game every edutainment game has. I wanted any information on this and the frustration got so bad that I actually got the 1997 Furcadia archive.org client connecting to a local server.

... and that's as far as it went. I couldn't figure out how to get the client to let me initiate the mysterious Message Maker. I'm not even convinced that it's accessible through the version I have, though text strings related to it still exist in the EXE.

Finally, to get some closure, I downloaded the new Furcadia and played with its map editor for 5 seconds. I did not play the game itself. The new map editor is fine I guess.

I dumped all the stickers that the Message Maker comes with into bmp files, but there's like 400 of them and it's going to be a pain. And I guess I still need to tackle the maps available on the official Patch Archive, but I have no idea if that will make me feel better or worse.
