The DLC is great too, and worth every penny. The developer is selling high quality audio of the BGM, and has more characters like a cop and a psychotic cat who crawls on the floor and bangs sticks together for sale. The psychotic cat is definitely my favorite so far, but more is on the way, including part 2, which was just announced yesterday.

I was wrong about one thing. The high quality soundtrack is free.

Some time ago I bought Fuga: Melodies of Steel, since the design looked nice and it sounded cool to pilot a tank.

Played a few hours and never touched it. Something felt very creepy with the character being all 4-10 year olds completely alone without any older figure. There isn't anything outwardly fetish-y about it, but it was less Miyazaki and more furry folder.

One time, this guy I know invited me to his Discord server, and this game came up. A bit of background:
He used to be an edgy troll type when I first met him, but long after we stopped talking he got troll's remorse and now he's disabled from some kind of illness and jerks off to porn all day and hangs out with non-binaries and troons and leftoids. Anyways we started chatting again and he added me to his server, which was full of weird furry and weaboo leftoids. Sometimes I would join their calls, chat with them, and observe their weird behavior for kicks.
This one really high strung artist girl (who can't draw very good at all) was streaming Fuga: Melodies of Steel, and after she beat a certain level, the guy immediately and confidently recognized the artist of one of the level transition drawings, stating their name. He opened up the artist's profile on Twitter and told us it was literally all softcore furry porn. Somebody asked him how he knew the artist, and he brushed it aside awkwardly, and an uncomfortable silence ensued. The weird thing is nobody else gave a shit about the game except this girl, but everyone (except for me) was pretending they were interested and it was really obvious.
I don't remember the artist's name, but the point is they got a softcore furry porn artist to design a level transition piece for this game where the entire main cast are children.

Just heard of this. Looks like junk, but the tacticool furries is a fun detail.

Yeah it's Chinajank. It uses the same engine as all the Chinese PUBG clones but they added abilities and more fluid movement. For some reason the sliding physics are very fucking good and it feels satisfying to slide around a corner and cap someone. The voice acting is legit awful across the board but whatever it's China.

I love the survey they sent to alpha playtesters though.

China knew what they were doing. Beta ends tomorrow but you might still be able to get in if you request access.
 
I got around to trying out Ex-Zodiac, yet another furry Star Fox clone: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/ExZodiac/

I count at least three such games: Ex-Zodiac, Fur Squadron, and this other Roguelite Survivor meme genre one I forget the name of. There's bound to be others, but Ex-Zodiac caught my eye for 1) also copying Space Harrier and 2) being exactly Star Fox SNES + Star Fox 64 but 60fps, which is all I ever really wanted. Nintendo's never publishing another game for me ever again, so I count on indies to pick up the slack.

Anyway, a couple levels in, it seems decent enough I suppose... if something's missing I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe by the end of the game I'll have a stronger opinion.

What would be nice is a rail shooter that doesn't have any furries and isn't a Star Fox clone, but I make do with what I can find. Air Twister was pretty nice.

I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit. It's best described as a mix of Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Dark Souls. The combat, world design, art direction are all great. One of the main gimmicks is that pages of the games own manual serves as the primary collectable that you use to figure out puzzles and progress. Once you get toward the end, there are some very clever mechanics introduced that add a lot to an already delightful experience.

I completely forgot that game existed, and had no idea it was an anthro game.

It's one of those games forever passed around game dev circles as an example of what the engine can do (I think it uses Godot) and of a low poly graphics retro clone, but it never seemed to come out. It's in early access now, but it's still not finished.

Of course. I wasn't even planning on playing this shit but for fuck's sakes my :optimistic: is wearing thin.

The devs don't even hide the fact that they're targeting furries.


That slide into a tail swish showing off her booty a few seconds in is what she does when you pick her on the character select screen. She's also not even that good but you see a ton of people playing her for obvious reasons.

I was a level or two into Ex-Zodiac before I realized everybody was an animal. The MC is a monkey girl who looks perfectly human other than the tail and is not sexualized in any way. It doesn't seem too far on the furry end of the furry spectrum, whereas with a game named "Fur Squadron" with prominent Fox/Wolf characters I'm already a bit negatively biased before I even look at it.

It is indeed made with Godot, the only 3D Godot game I've played. It's a lot less taxing on resources than a lot of (very basic) indie 2D Unity games I've tried, fwiw. Although it's still under development I think it's finishable and could pass for a complete if kind of basic game in its current state. ofc I'm assuming the final levels are actually there and not just a big "please try again later" sign.

The only furry adjacent game I own is Solotarobo on the DS. It was boring.
I only keep it because it's incredibly valuable for some gay reason.

The reason for it's value it's it's a rare game. One of those "hidden gems" that didn't really sell on release, but became a cult classic later. It's also part of a series of games (I think Fugo is one) that share a setting and developer.

It's FUGA! FUGA! FUGA! Or Little Tail Bronx franchise.
The reason why they never sold well is that they're the director's passion projects that uses the funds from the numerous anime game releases they created. That is the reason why despite FUGA garnering a very niche customer fanbase is now having a 3rd fucking installment, one year after the second game which was made 2 years after the first.

Us Figgers never even played that game, It's earned itself a mythical status among the fringe community. And I'm not going to blow cash on some 3ds game since it doesn't even directly fund the company.
Hopefully director plans on remaking it.
He stated that he's focusing on expanding the Little Tail Bronx universe after FUGA 3 which will be the final installment of the trilogy.

Raises the question what else CyberConnect2 commissioned from the artists.

Yoko Taro made a joke about it being an excuse for the director to indulge his furry lolicon fetish when he was asked to do a let's play sort of video for it. I'll be fair to them though, I've been playing it for the past few days and I haven't seen or read anything in it that even remotely sexualizes the characters. About the worst thing I can say so far is the characters don't really, well, have much character. I think the whole "anyone can be sacrificed at any point" gimmick hamstrung them a bit.

Unironically a fun video, would recommend watching it. Taro seems like a genuinely fun guy.
