While I understand that many have a bit of confusion, I tire of the same question over and over again.

We should have a link in the sidebar about what a fursona is, and perhaps we'll get a few less "What is a fursona?" questions.

Yet again, I can understand their confusion, and I can sympathize and am glad to help them, its just we should do something about these repetitive questions.

If there are furries like cows, deer, chicken, etc what exactly do the carnivores eat and do they eat each other?

I've been commissioning and gathering art for ages now and totally realized that i goofed and didnt credit the artists! I know some of these pieces are by you guys here so if you recognize any of them without an artist please tell me!

This week’s illustration is from the cute mythological card deck “Mythic Chibi Playing Cards,” now on Kickstarter

The endless stream of “potato salad” projects seems to be abating on Kickstarter, which is a good thing, although now Indiegogo is being infected with them.

In the final analysis, the only strength Kickstarter has–which is major–is that it sorts things by date. This is super-helpful if you want to see everything that’s being crowdfunded, but with tons of random stuff clogging up the pipe, maybe less meaningful. Indiegogo has a few useful tools Kickstarter doesn’t–an image gallery, the ability to have multiple members of your team, Paypal (in our youth-dominated fandom, this is a minor but solid edge)…I personally think their “flexible funding” thing is not a benefit at all, since people use it as the default without really considering the hit they can take to their credibility and business plan.

Yap, yap, yap. The two platforms seemed to have arrived at a consensus on the “anything goes!” front. This means that Kickstarter will probably be MUCH more friendly to adult projects, which is helpful for many artists. But on the other paw, there really isn’t a “professional face of crowdfunding” anymore, which maybe a sign that the bubble isn’t burst, but maybe the balloon is deflating.

Reviews this week: Zhivagod’s DIY character reference sheet, FCLG’s animated short, and Sand and Shadows, the sequel to “Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb.”

And, of course, Terrene Odyssey, I’ve been watching this project for over a year now and really want to see it take off…finally :) Good luck, Chris!

** Sorry if I offend anyone!!! ILY furrys >.=.< <3... I am British & stupid D: ... Just be nice to know I guess!.... Don't kill me :'( ***

So I have just found out about Otherkin.....and im quite new to fursona ect ...

What is your fursona supposed to represent? ie; Is it you? another form of you? or just a character you had thought up? or?....

What I have read & gathered about Otherkin, Is that you believe that you are not human... another animal or what not inside a human body .. i think...

Anyway! Lets say that you love your fursona.... & you make a fursuit? (I really want one :3 !! ) does that not kinda cross into otherkin?

Is being a furry and otherkin black and white? Or do these two ever cross I guess?

& Just anything else you want to add, hope I dont offend anyone!! Hope you are having a good day anyway. Thanks for reading .=.^

Hello! Sorry for the inconvenient yammer on, but i had a question. Could this and this be used in a comic, not the characters, but the art style. It's lazy, but i had a problem with it being similar to Bed fellows, and regular show. I'm not saying they are lazy because they are both in fact great series, but i'm going to make a series in this style. I'm calling it Miscellaneous Shenanigans. It will be just that!

PM me if you want your character to be in it, i'm open to anything.

After 20 years, a return to the post-apocalyptic/medieval world of “Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb”…

Inherit the Earth: Sand and Shadows

Kickstarter ending 8/19/14

The year is 1994, and computer graphics are what you’d expect them to be. “Dark Stalkers” spawns a few years of well-justified John Talbain/Galon rule 34, Sonic meets Tails, and things were kind of pixellated and grainy, but we didn’t know any better. Enter “Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb.”

The time: the unknowable future. Humanity is a thing of the past, having, according to Wiki, wiped itself out with a biological weapon. However many years later, Earth’s animals have established a medieval society in the wreckage, and humans are something of a myth, even a religion.

If you haven’t followed the original game, you might want to skim over the webcomic, which expands on and recaps the plot of the game and world. The game’s available online or (I think?) on portable devices, clever people can find a copy somewhere, and a trial version is available on the Kickstarter.  The story runs something like, “Rif, a fox, goes to the Big City (well, plot-centric village) to compete in a puzzle contest, but when the Orb of Storms–an old human techno-relic–is stolen, he’s accused, and goes on a quest to find the relic and its thief.” Oh, the puzzles that will be solved.

That was some years ago, and rumors are surfacing about the original orb surviving, and a terrible drought that is almost certainly tied to the orb’s weather-related functions. Rif sets out on another journey, this time with MUCH smoother graphics and a wider world.

At its heart, Inherit the Earth: Sand And Shadows is the child of its ancestor: a point-and-click  game, lots of dialog and conversation, lots of puzzles. The original game was set up for a sequel, maybe even a trilogy–what happened to the orb? Where are the humans?–and left on something of an open “The End…Or Is It?” note. So hopefully Sand and Shadows will answer a lot of questions.

The Kickstarter project itself? It’s strong. The pledge points are everything you’d hope for from a video game launch that’s targeting an established fan base. At low levels, some good swag–posters, a reasonably affordable “your character here” in the game as a background element ($600, a good price for this sort of thing, from what I’ve seen), with appropriately saliva-inducing bells at the high end: a speaking role in the game, attending the game’s launch party with travel expenses (!), and other good stuff. The stretchgoals are textbook, but in a good way: mobile device support, extra cut scenes, extra languages (I’d personally want that Android support at a lower level–or even as the starting point, the look and feel of the game really lends itself to portable devices.)

Criticism? I don’t really have any major ones. From an uneducated non-programmer perspective, as I said, I think the game lends itself well to portable devices, and that might be a better starting point, but I’m not remotely qualified to say whether that’s actually a good idea or not. One point made of the original game that may still be true, is that it has some very adult ideas and a “ages 11 and up” target audience, which may not be a viable audience range (particularly with the way anthro subject matter draws the target age downward, at least to the non-furry audience member.)

That, and the goal is going to be a challenge, and a long road. Games can meet the “crowdfunding for the actual cost of the game” goal, Armello managed it, but they had a strong launch campaign and seemed to capture a lot of audiences at once–board gaming convention goers, the greater video game community, and probably some furries as well. With Inherit it seems like their primary ask is to their existing fanbase, and that’s not going to bring in the money to hit that high, $160K goal.

Regardless! If you want to see this project succeed, it’s going to need retweets and reposts. Consider leaving a comment on their main page–that sort of thing helps the project look stronger on Kickstarter’s analytical engine. Talk it up–on the kickstarter page, and on your own social media–conversation goes a long way toward keeping the project viable through the full campaign.
