I know lots of us like the idea of a cheap fursuit, but these are a huge scam. Not only is it a scam, but they steal the artwork from other suiters and personal characters/fursonas.

Hello! You can call me Kita. I am a 21, 22 on the 14th, goth chick. I love video games, guns, archery, futuristic stuff, and dark sounding music of any genre. My sona is a transgender Maine Coon girl living in the year 3046 with her sister, Damaris. You can see here here and here! She wears the respirator nearly 24/7 as her lungs cannot seperate oxygen from the air, and her eyes started to go blind in her early teens so she had them replaced with the same model implants as her sister who was born without eyes. That's pretty much all I have right now, I look forward to being a regular here!

Ok, so. Lets say you've just won the lottery and now you have a million dollars. What would be your FIRST Furry-Related purchase?

This week’s illustration is from “Fell,” tabletop players-vs-board game now on Kickstarter

I’m curious about how to approach the game, “Fursuit Frenzy.” There’s a lot about it that I can agree on—the creator wants to make a nice, streamlined little game for conventions that isn’t based on Furotica’s weird harem-building dynamic and that isn’t fundamentally pornographic. On the other paw, the creator has a lot of the dark snark that makes it hard to know whether a project’s serious or not. That, and there’s the masochistic hate-love-hate relationship some people have with Furry that makes them sit at the edge and mock it.

Dear 4chan and friends, the only thing less cool than splashing in an inflatable wading pool is sitting at the edge of a wading pool making fun of the people in it. Just saying. Either way everyone involved is a bunch of children, but at least the wading pool’s kind of fun.

Anyway, I just don’t know if this is real or not. If it’s a hoax, the creator spent a lot of time making up rules. They seem kind of complex–a little too much Pokemon, not enough Germany School of Board Game Design. If it’s real, I’d be remiss if I didn’t give it a callout, but there’s some venom here that’s hard to reconcile with the product. I dunno. At $25 out of a $500 goal it may not matter.

 

Reviews this week: Cutesy fantasy gay dating sim “Fantastic Boyfriends.” Oh, I get it, fantastic. Corbeau is slow on the uptake this week.

 

For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page New Projects Art

Fantasy and anthro art by Cam Kendell, artist of Percival Pundragon

Give Life To My Creatures (Ends: 7/26/2015)
Surreal french critters on print and postcard

Children’s Products

Rose: Crowdsourced Kid’s Platformer (Ends: 6/28/2015)
An adorable kitten scampers through a world created from children’s art. Educational, cat-focused.

Comics/Graphic Novels

Kings of the Wasteland (Ends: 6/18/2015)
Web-to-print of #2 of Del Hewitt‘s anthro post-apocalypse webcomic

Dreamkeepers #4: Descent to the Archives (Ends: 6/19/2015)
The latest title in the anthro/dreamscape webcomic/graphic novel series, Dreamkeepers

Fandom Convention History Project (Ends: 6/22/2015)
A “history of…” comic focusing on the fandoms of Maryland and DC, including Anthrocon, Bronycon, Otaku, Furthemore…
Slow start on this one, probably not viable–doesn’t look like the creator is really working all the angles. Neat project if you are interested in the greater Fandom of Fandoms.

SpaceRamblers in print (Ends: 6/29/2015)
Web-to-print of Russian sci-fi space opera, SpaceRamblers

Moonu Animated Comic (Ends: 7/25/2015)
A children’s comic project with 2D animation and a graphic novel layout
While there IS an anthro rabbit-thing, this is more interesting because it’s an art style I don’t often see on crowdfunding sites

Tabletop Games

Netherworld’s Edge (Ends: 6/18/2015)
An “Anthropophic Epic” of 28mm tabletop minis, primarily rats vs mice locked in a rodent feud

Fursuit Frenzy (Ends: 6/19/2015)
A rock-paper-scissors based fighting card game with lots of fursuit photography
I’m not sure if the artist really has permission to use these photograph likenesses. Regardless, there’s no way to BUY this card game in the Kickstarter itself, which is probably a weakness in the marketing strategy.

Fell (Ends: 6/27/2015)
A mix-and-match boardgame of players vs. huge, primordial monsters
Not super-furry, but the pencil art is good and fantasy/monster is a combination that dips easily into the anthropomorphic.

Video Games

Fantastic Boyfriends (Ends: 6/29/2015)
A gay-themed mobile JRPG: One young man saving the world with his very sturdy boyfriend.
Cute stuff on the game’s Character Page, including werewolves and a pretty cute world-crushing serpent. Overall kind of Osamu Tezuka in style.

Adult

Miu Print Collection (Ends: 6/15/2015)
A collected reprint series of Miu/Michael Vega art and comics, primarily rodent-oriented cheesecake
SO VERY over goal…

…Causes

Iberian Wolf Recovery Center (Ends: 7/2/2015): Raising money to buy a 42-acre site in Portugal to preserve a wolf sanctuary for the Iberian wolf.

…Just for fun

Flash Pup Light Up Apparel (Ends: 6/9/2015): Sound-activated raver and geek formal apparel, a few furry-friendly items, but glowing is always popular

 What’s Corbeau Backing This Week?
Certain sad little xoloitzcuintli are still “pursuing employment opportunities” and shouldn’t even be looking at Kickstarter. That being said, the second I get a job, I’m going to dump $100 or so on these guys, because I love the look of the product, I love induction burners and kitchen gimcrackery, and I really love tea. This is a perfect combination of design and tea. So beautiful.

An epic JRPG quest/dating sim to find hot guys, save the world from hot guys.

Fantastic Boyfriends: Legend of Midearth

Indiegogo ending 6/29/15

It happens to everyone. You download a fantasy game app, there’s a blinding light, you’re transported to the corner of Waterdeep and Caer Paravel, and a half-dozen hot guys start fighting over you and talking about your “legendary sword.”

Okay, maybe that doesn’t happen, and I’ve been led to understand that dating sims are different from real life in certain important ways, particularly in the number of hot guys throwing themselves at you. That’s probably why they call it “wish fulfillment…”

Fantastic Boyfriends is a mobile JRPG/Dating Sim, currently available in Japan, and crowdfunding for an English translation over on Indiegogo. And it’s pretty darn cute. The basic “You’re the chosen one, Harry!” plot is that [Your Name Here], lonely gay guy, clicks on a link for a new fantasy dating sim, and finds himself in the middle of a fantasy world, quickly in the possession of a legendary sword, and standing by the open gate to a quest to save the kingdom from invading demons. Of course, you’re still a lonely gay guy, but since you’re a chosen warrior from beyond their world, small talk is really more of a formality and “let’s go out!” is the perfect pickup line.

Well, these are gays, so…maybe?

I’m not at all making fun of this game, though it’s got more than a few silly conceits and an internal world where the odds that anyone is completely available and has an avatar with rippling abs is about the same as on Pounced.com. The illustrations are super-cute, with big jovial smiles and big surly frowns, with a look that’s old-school Anime (I think the style is more or less Osamu Tezuka’s, but maybe it’s another artist that’s got the “cute friendly guy built like a smiling brick” thing going on. I confess my manga ignorance here.)

In the prologue video we meet most of the main four–the tough-but-frowny ogre warrior; the noble paladin who’s got a bit of an older-guy thing going on, probably smells like Old Spice and virtue; the “how did you get muscles like that?” bartender; and the beginning of a quest for the dangerously magical dragon/bachelor number 4, Fafnir. You can also take a quick look at the preview trailer, only three minutes long, but sadly just in Japanese. You can also glance over the game’s character profile page, which has some tidbits about the guys you’ll encounter (dragons: amoral but like treasure. Warriors: cheapskates who don’t pay their bartab, but are easy. Elves: Possibly incestuous, no chest. Apprentice blacksmith: EXTREMELY LOW WAISTLINE, though not, in fairness, as low as the barbarian’s.) I’m curious to know if the elf and apprentice blacksmith are available as accessories to go with your Legendary Sword, it’d add some variety to the “built like a brick” look of the characters in the prologue.

Is it furry? Well, yes and no. The artist, BomBom, seems to be a kemono artist, if you skim over his Tumblr—though that’s a pretty NSFW image stream. There’s some anthro imagery, with some werewolves and dragons in various stages of anthropomorphism. Is it relevant? Probably. Games targeted at the LGBT market are pretty rare, and this one’s had some success in Japan–though there’s the open question of whether this form of game is strong enough in America to make its modest crowdfunding goal. Furries aren’t necessarily LGBT, but the majority of us are spread across the rainbow somewhere.

You know, I was going to ask the same question.

I’m a little put off by the backer awards, since you have to go up to $250 to get to a physical product (art book with print version), and the awards at $750 are “book and an illustration of your favorite character.” Unsure what that means. An original piece? A poster? With sharply limited quantities available, they’re likely original pieces, but there’s no elaboration. Further, the game itself is not going to be available as a perk–although as a iphone/android app it’s not likely to be bank-breaking, the game’s plan is to have separate purchasable quests, and it’s hard to guess how much that’s going to cost to get the “whole” story (or at least the one that lets you drag one of those werewolves home.) Still, it’s good to hear that it’s expandable. It does feel like $50 for digital perks and $250 for print is a little on the high side, and it looks like their backers are having trouble swallowing that pill, too. So this really is more of a “donate to support the cause” project than a “give $$$ get swag” project. That’s okay, it’s just worth knowing what model you’re dealing with.

Sooo I'm going to be waiting in line for a long time shortly. My university just disbanded and merged with another school, and our first semester as UTRGV is this Fall. Just went to register for Fall and every single part of my academic record is messed up. It has me listed as a senior (I'm a junior), literally half my transcript is missing, and my credits that did make it aren't accurate (some are listed as transfer credits instead of the actual classes).

So I'll be waiting in line behind the other thousand students messed up by this and wanna talk :3

---Before you read through this wall of text, I live just south of Houston, TX---

Hiya...I feel awful posting this, I hate asking for help.

My parents are kicking me out because they found out I'm gay...I'm 18 but I'm not ready to live on my own yet. I'll be moving in with my boyfriend very soon, (as soon as our rent house becomes available): within a couple weeks, a month max.

I don't have anywhere to stay :-/

Any of you fuzzybutts have a place where I can hang out for a couple weeks while I wait for my rent house to become available? I unfortunately can't compensate immediately...monetarily at least. You can have my Blu Ray collection, electric keyboard and plenty of cuddles though 0.0

I'm super clean and quiet and can sleep on a couch. I realize this isn't the best pitch but I don't really have much to offer right now >_<

Once again, I live just south of Houston, TX. Thanks fellow fuzzbutts <3
