Flight Rising Kickstarter Campaign is now Live!
The time is finally here! The next stage of Flight Rising's launch plans have now begun, and our Kickstarter Campaign is off and running! The fundraising campaign will be running until April 9th, 2013 11:00PM EST, so you have plenty of time to jump in and participate (and we hope you do!)
Flight Rising's Kickstarter campaign will be helping fund an upgrade to our hosting server, as well as support the current and ongoing development of the site's content.
We have tons of special goodies lined up for those who donate, so please check 'em out! We appreciate any and all support you guys provide. Thank you!

Customs, Semi-Customs, and Breedings are OPENEvery Featherweather is bound by the T&Cs of ownership as found on in my DA ID on the front page.
Customs, Semi-Customs, and Breedings are available for points (via DA) or cash (via Paypal). If you want to pay with points you MUST use the widget located on the front page. Points sent via the regular gifting system will be considered a donation only. If you want to pay with PayPal, you'll save a few bucks by just paying me directly (featherweavers@gmail.com). Please NOTE ME to make sure I accept your PayPal commission before sending payment.
All Featherweavers have one of three base linearts:
Running (aka Striders):

Jumping (aka Jumpers):

Sitting (aka Crafters):

However, each Featherweaver is lovingly hand-crafted. These are not cheap, quick designs. Each Featherweaver will be a finished product with high detail work, colored lines, and colored shading. I spend a good amount o

Flight RisingFlight Rising is an online browser-based game about dragons. The game itself is nearing completion but is not yet released. The team has opened up several social communities where we will trickle in previews, host contests, and give away alpha-codes. If you've enjoyed some of the art that's been posted for it, perhaps you might be interested in following one of our social communities!

Beta Key Give-a-Way OpportuntiesFlight Rising will be entering closed beta in mid-December this year. If you didn't enter the Something about dragons contest but still want to participate in beta, we're going to be making keys available through our various social media groups over the coming weeks.
We recently ran a give-a-way on our facebook page, and have one that's currently going on one of our youtube videos. We'll be releasing keys to all of our Flight Rising pages, including the deviantart group, so keep your eyes peeled.
I should note that beta is a test, and not a head start. We are running a beta so that we can get early feedback, make tweaks to the economy of the game and balance of the coliseum, make changes to help make our site easy to pick up for a new user, and uncover errors and glitches in the website. For our testers, this means that there will be constant revisi

Feature: Familiar BondingThe development team has been hard at work on creating and implementing new features, and we'd like to debut one of them today called Familiar Bonding!
This system allows you to visit your attached familiars each day to increase their familiarity (heh) with you, and earn daily rewards. We feel this system will be attractive to players who love collecting familiars, but would like a little bit more of a progression style of gameplay.
Familiars have several levels of attachment to your clan, however, we would like to keep those levels a bit of a surprise, so we won't be listing them here. Visiting a familiar each day will provide you with a small sum of treasure, and if your familiar reaches a new level, they will give you an extra special gift!
Each unique familiar type can be leveled once for your clan, and their progression will be saved (meaning, if you bonded with a Hedgehog for 30 days and leveled it up, removed it, and paired it with another dragon in your clan, its bonding

Kickstarter Update # 1 - Spirals are close!
What an amazing first day we had. Our friends, family, and supporters have lovingly pledged a total of $8,480 so far - blowing past our $3,500 goal and unlocking the first stretch goal! And now, we're creeping very close to the second: Spiral Dragons at launch! And the awesome part? We still have a whole month to make it happen!
Now is the perfect time to join in on the fundraising -- We've got tons of special Kickstarter-only goodies lined up, which will become rare and valuable after the game goes live, since they will not be available ever again!
If you cannot pledge, that is totally okay! Even sharing this link with all your interested friends and family means so much to our team. Thank you again, everyone!

Feature: Dominance SystemFlight Rising is happy to debut a feature we have been working on behind the scenes for awhile: Flight Dominance! The Flight Dominance system is a way for the various elemental flights to compete against one another for weekly rewards.
Competing is simple: exalt dragons from your lair to send them to the front lines.
Exalted dragons contribute to your flight's army, and the flight with the most exaltations each Saturday will receive a week's worth of special benefits. These benefits are:
- An extra 250 treasure per day
- A 10% discount on all Marketplace merchandise (treasure shops only)
- A +1 boost to every stat of each of your dragons
You can track your flight's ranking live from the Flight Dominance page, which updates each page refresh. The left-side ladder displays how your flight is doing in the race for next week's tally. The right side image indicates which flight is holding dominance for the current week.

How can we win alpha codes? I know you mentioned there would be contests and such, but I haven't seen any chances and I'm practically seizing in my chair just dying to play this.

The amazing Darren H just finished programming our unique-key beta code invitation system. We now have the technology to actually give out beta codes!

There will be code give-a-ways in the future. If you're following Flight Rising on DA, FB, Twitter, OR Tumblr, you're probably going to be notified when codes become available.

I do want to emphasize that our beta is a true beta test. No dragons, wealth, or scores will be carrying over into live. We do have a little thank you gift lined up for our testers, but testing the game is not the same thing as an early start. It's testing and providing feedback on the site. When we do go live for-real, we hope to have a site that is as close to bug-free as possible, easy-to-use, and has benefited from the suggestions of our testers.

That's a fantastic idea, and makes perfect sense. Thanks for the answer! I'll keep a close look-out
