Are the dev team furries?
Are the dev team furries?
Lugaru undeniably appeals to the furry fandom, I don't think anyone can disagree on that. So, Wolfire...will we be seeing you at Anthrocon? Or are you at least slightly furry?
I went through a phase with 'furriness' - mainly my own art style, I didn't get involved at all - but I started looking into it.
I just gotta say this much:
The internet is evil. The internet is wrong. And for the love of [whatever personal deity or power you personally hold dear] don't put furry into an unprotected search engine!
**Tries to patch up his bleeding eyes**

Re: Are the dev team furries?
David chose animals because of a theory he has where, basically, using unrealistic things such as animals fighting makes the game actually more immersive, whereas if you had real humans knifing each other, it might be kind of hard to palette. He is not a furry and in fact, until some very creepy fan-emails started trickling in, he did not even really know what a furry was.XerxesQ wrote:Lugaru undeniably appeals to the furry fandom, I don't think anyone can disagree on that.

I know that a lot of furries are not creepy and sexual and I would like to go to anthrocons to promote Lugaru, because it really is the perfect outlet for Lugaru... With that said, I would not go by myself.
I do not think that I am an animal spirit trapped in a human body or anything like that, but I think anthropomorphic characters are a great way to tell certain kinds of stories while avoiding preconceptions and stigma associated with human characters. I don't have anything against furries, and I think they are unfairly persecuted and stigmatized by many internet communities.
Also, like Jeff pointed out, I much prefer abstracting the violence away from humans in my games. Aside from avoiding the uncanny valley, this is why I always make the characters robots, polygonal humans, zombies, furries, faceless monks, and so on. I always try to make my games as believable (in their own context) as possible, so if I were to use realistic human characters it would be very disturbing. I.e. you could shoot someone in the spine and they would start rolling around and screaming about how they can't feel their legs and so on.
Furries are also underrepresented in serious non-cartoon games; and I like to work in relatively unexplored game niches.
I wouldn't mind going to Anthrocon to promote Lugaru 2 if it is at a convenient time and place.

I'm glad you're not like "Lol furysaz r teh fagz". I'm good friends with a furry, actually. He's a really cool guy. xD He really like lugaru, actually... You should go to a furry convention, it would be great.David wrote:I do not think that I am an animal spirit trapped in a human body or anything like that, but I think anthropomorphic characters are a great way to tell certain kinds of stories while avoiding preconceptions and stigma associated with human characters.

Once again, thanks for being so progressive.
My brother is a member of the furry community 
. Gotta say, judging just from his favourites on his deviantArt account I wouldn't touch that with a flaming sword of justice (The justice would disintegrate).
Furries are people who like thinking they're animals and have a anthropomorphic animal fetish, which is funny because my brother is NOT like an animal, in anyway, besides the fact he is TECHNICALLY a mammal. But, some of the people are indeed cool.
I say go the con and promote the game, just bring a gun or sharp stick.

I agree, and so does the crator of Ozy and MillieDavid wrote:I think anthropomorphic characters are a great way to tell certain kinds of stories while avoiding preconceptions and stigma associated with human characters.
Wheras it's awesome if a wolfie does that. Maybe you could also compare a human being hit by a car, and a wolf being hit by a car? Just kidding.I.e. you could shoot someone in the spine and they would start rolling around and screaming about how they can't feel their legs and so on.
