A frantic first-person shooter in a colorful fusion of sci-fi and Egyptian myth…

Retroblazer

Kickstarter ending 2/22/15

Just a quick and loose look at a video game now on Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight. Retroblazer is a frantic old-school first person shooter in the “run-and-gun” style, where you’re firmly planted behind your weapon looking down your muzzle–your gun’s muzzle, that is–at a very hostile world.

The world, in this case, is what caught my eye, as it’s an eye-searingly colorful world loaded with anthro characters, although since you’re sprinting through their territory and probably gunning them down you might miss that fact.

The scenery is a sci-fi re-envisioning of Egyptian motifs, with neon pyramids, brilliant hieroglyphs, day-glo sarcophagi, and the occasional viridian cartouch that leaves an interesting purple aftermirage in your eyes for a good 20 seconds.

I’m a sucker for a good 80s color palette, what can I say.

Story! Probably the least important aspect of this sort of game, but hey.

You play the young warrior Jonas, who, something something gunblazers, something something invaded by the evil Judgment Legion, something something hidden laboratory and mysterious armor, something something Automatrons, something  GunBlazers! It’s all covered in 20% greater detail on the RetroBlazer website, but let’s be honest, if you’re interested in this, it’s probably for the jackals and possibly the giant floating pyramids.

Game play seems kind of standard for this sort of game–weapons can be forged and customized with “crystals,” the internal currency of the RetroBlazer world. You sprint through a combat-intensive environment–very quickly, this is a dash-and-blast sort of experience–with just a bit of problem solving, and a healthy number of exploding barrels, bottomless chasms, and toxic pools. You can pick up the Alpha Demo, but note that it is the alpha, and has evolved somewhat (it sounds like they might have done away with some weapons using your energy crystals as a power source, for one.)

The kickstarter itself: cut and dried, the digital release, upgrade to soundtrack. In the Cadillac levels, get yourself hidden as an easter egg, or as an avatar in the game–personally, I think I’d look great in Future Egypt, grandma was a jackal. There are a few very special, expensive rewards that stand out–design your own secret weapon and hide it somewhere in a secret room, or for a cool grand, your own hidden shrine! Neat! Not free, but neat :)

You can learn more about the game’s features, music, and artists on Kickstarter, there’s a music sample there by soundtrack composer Solatrus (and if you thought RetroBlazer had some jarring colors, click that link…) Funding’s off to a slow start, but the team will be in San Antonio for PAX South this weekend, maybe they’ll be able to share their demo and get a mid-campaign bump!

Just looking for some more furs to talk to on Steam! Because you can never have too many friends I guess. My name is Shadiran.

I'm wondering how many Aussie furs are here. I'm from Sydney, and while I love talking to people from everywheres, I'm wondering if there's peeps from The Land Down Under who would be interested in befriending and maybe hanging out with a newbie.

Calling all of my fellow furry gamers! What games featuring anthropomorphic beings do you play online to pass the time?

Graphic Novel: A little romance, a little adventure, a lot of cats

Tabby

Kickstarter ending 2/8/15

One awesome thing about The “Tabby” Kickstarter: this is an artist that really knows how to work the system! With articles up on at least a dozen websites–probably more than, I just stopped searching after one or two screens of google hits, but “Sidney local news” is a particularly good one, and posts on comic review sites, crowdfunding sites…some amazing saturation bombing! Remember, launching a project on Kickstarter is its own full-time job, if you’re doing it right.

It helps that the author, Stephen Kok, is pretty interesting on his own. His blog, “Creating a Graphic Novel” goes back eight years, and is chock full of interviews, guest art, artist profiles…wow. Worth a read just for the passion in the subject.

Basically the Brady Bunch with fleas

Anyway, about Tabby! It’s a simple plot, and pretty human when you get down to it–a carefree bachelor, the rakish striped cat with a half-mask, happily lives one fish to the next, until his son, Tabby Jr, falls for the kitten next door. Interestingly, it’s a largely no-talking graphic novel, with the story told through expressions and action. It’s a 60+ page graphic novel so far, though the stretch goals may expand that somewhat–the $1500 stretch unlocked an extra three-page prologue, and there’s three more stretch goals ranging up to $5000 that could expand the content further (although project stretch is always a risk, Kok doesn’t seem very interested in expanding the core project, so he’s clearly got his head around the danger of the Cult of the Stretch Goal.)

A little scope stretch seems to be the only risk here. The art is already wrapped, with only lettering left to go, and Kok has been writing an “art and creation of the graphic novel” blog for most of a decade, so he knows the process.

This is a pretty solid Kickstarter, and one that I’m going to use for a model in the future. Pledge points: digital, print, print with poster, multipack, early bird specials, and a few different “Cadillac” options for the fans with sketches, and a fun “meet the artist” opportunity if you happen to live in Sidney. It’d be a great resource for anyone working on a graphic novel to look at and steal heavily from.

Check it out! Lots of process information on the Sigmate Studio blog, and you can meet the graphic artist, P.R. Dedelis, over on Deviant Art.

Combine this with a program who let es show our fursona(s) to other furries/-friends over our RL bodies.

OH MY! Can't wait!

But from different viewpoint, let's hope it isn't to realistic, or fursuit makers will loose their jobs.

Normally I wouldn't talk about something so lewd, as I am a more reversed person, but it's the next topic so here we go. So what sex are you? What sex is your fursona? If there is a difference, why? Which sex do you think is more attractive and why? Do you have any fetishes, and what are they? Anything you used to like and now don't? Anything you didn't like and now do? And as always feel free to ask or share any thoughts on anything I missed.

Edit: since I was suggested to answer my own questions I shall.

Male. Male, been thinking of doing a female mirror because why not. I think females are more attractive on the large scale although there are some pretty sexy men. I do have fetishes the are bbws and bears, fembois, and gay stuff? That's not really a fetish. I like cows too that's not really a fetish though they are just cute

I have been reading through the different 3.5 rule books and while flipping through savage species I found rules for anthropomorphic animals. It is needless to say that I was pleasantly surprised.

I was then curious to see if there were any current players of the 3.5 system or anyone who would be interested in playing such a game.

I'm willing to DM a session with Anthro Characters and teach new people, but I must warn people that I am not the most experienced, so if any of you are willing and more experienced, it would be amazing to have a volunteer.

General Guidelines for people I am looking to play with if I DM.

• Experienced or new players welcome
• Microphones preferred, with a Skype account and a account on Roll20, the site we will be using to play. (Basically Microphones will have priority over non-mics, but if we have a majority of non-microphone users, we will just use text) I also understand if when doing furry role-play if you prefer to use text.
• Mature players. I am not going to set an definitive age limit, as I am not interested in your age, nor am I looking for players to constantly act like professionals. Just in case a dispute comes up, I expect all players to be respectful.
• This goal for this campaign is to be role-play heavy. I know furries love their role-play, so I figured this would be fun.
• You must be able to handle the death of your character. This is a midevil RPG. Making your fursona into a playable character will be great, however I will not pull punches. I want the players to feel challenged when they do fight. I will not make seemingly possible encounters impossible, but it will be challenging. In case you do die, you can roll a new character.

If you are able to fit the bill as is now, I am totally open to helping you make a character and getting a chance to play with furends!

Hopefully you are as excited about this idea as I am!

I bought all the materials I need for my yarn tail...except for the brush. Will any old brush work or does it actually have to be a dog brush?

Bought a game on the humble store and noticed A few unredeemed Steam games.

• Company of heroes 2 WFA
• Sonic generations
• Viking: battle for asgard

To have a chance to win the game make a post with the game you want and an in-character reason why (or how) your fursona would play the game. (In essence, amuse me, prove you are not a robot ;)
