Furry Poll
Added 2024-02-13 05:40:30 +0000 UTC
Alright, I've been saying for a long time now that I'd like to cater to a broad variety of fetishes in VT, and we're finally coming up on the first potentially divisive one. Since I have a very broad range of interests myself, I've been thinking that whenever I'm going to add something that might not be to everyone's taste, I'll do a poll here to see how people generally feel about it. Whether I add it or not won't actually be decided by the poll's results, I assume most people are pretty open in this community anyway, but it will help me make a better informed decision on if I want to include it and, if so, how much.
Furry seems extremely popular in the vore community (and vice-versa?), so I think it makes sense to include some furry characters in Vessel Tactics. I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea, though, so before I decide on anything I'd like to see what the general consensus on it here is. To help you make your decision, I sketched up a design for a potential new monster girl to give you an idea of what one might look like if they get added, too. While I think the above is generally the level of furry I'll shoot for, you should probably assume that there may be some furrier looking girls as well. I should also say that this isn't a sudden shift into making VT a furry game, it will likely just be a handful of characters at most.
With all that out of the way, what would you say your opinion on furry is, particularly in the style shown above?

2024-02-18 02:43:24 +0000 UTCAs long as the body is not 100% hair and has a similarity to what is already in the game, it seems fine to me, even 70% hair seems acceptable to me.

2024-02-14 20:26:39 +0000 UTCI apologize, but furry is not my flavor. I can probably tolerate a ratio of "90% Human to 10% Furry" at most. (Like Felicia from DarkStalkers.) Other than that I don't understand the lure.

2024-02-14 14:18:30 +0000 UTCNo worries, since I'm going for an anime aesthetic anyway, any furries that get added will be in a kemono style.

2024-02-14 07:19:56 +0000 UTCThank you for all your responses! Based on the results and what you've said, I think I'll go forward as planned in adding a few furry girls in a similar style to this one. I can't say for certain when they'll appear, since I may prioritize other MGs with more unique gameplay implications at the moment, but I'm very glad to know that people are generally receptive to the idea. Sorry to those who aren't too interested in it! If there's something else you really like that isn't represented in VT at the moment, please feel free to reply with it below. Even if not all the characters are for everyone, I think it would be great if people could assemble a team of characters that suit their tastes, so I'm pretty open to different ideas. Either way, thank you so much for all your support!

2024-02-14 07:13:21 +0000 UTCI don't really like furry and sometimes actively avoid them, but i understand that different characters are suited for different people and we should respect others taste, so im all up for design variety in VS!So i did a positive vote and i hope other people enjoy the design & i at least enjoy the unit gameplay! Keep the good work

2024-02-13 13:06:06 +0000 UTCI Am fine with JP style furry (Kemono), I do not find western style furry to be visually appealing.

2024-02-13 12:03:04 +0000 UTCI think that it is something that you would want to do more than just a decision made with the comunity. This is you baby your project. I'll talk for me but I hope I'm not the only one that think that but I'll keep folowing you vision for the game because I like it and adding some different type of character don't change the base of the game. Beside with the monster girl that you have already implemented in the game that wouldn't make any difference with the furry if you ake wolf girl or others carnivore animal. The only difference is how far in the furry disine. But I just let my preference as you aske for the comunity. I prefer mouth rather muzzle. Anyway I'm exited to try your next version and thank's for your implication with us that is very apriciated!

2024-02-13 11:29:16 +0000 UTCA really good way to get the best of both worlds would be to design the furry characters so they are easily "demi"-fied. Anime-esque styles always allow a little leeway with furry faces because the Japanese cute drawing style is based on a cat anyway. In the example drawing, simply having an alternate colour scheme for the torso and face to make it skin-like should be enough to get away with the character being a demi, much like in popular anime/manga. As long as the furry features aren't too strong, a comparatively simple colour/texture change for torso and face should be good enough to placate 95% of non furries without an incredible amount of work. Having it on a setting would mean everyone could get what they are happy with. Smiles all around.

2024-02-13 10:53:00 +0000 UTCHit doesn't ruin it for me up above, but personally that image is on the razor edge of being too furry for me. I like the design as a character design, but I suspect it's not gonna do anything for me once it's in color, with the full body fur and all. I'd prefer not to have furries, but as long as there aren't a ton of them it won't put me off the game. Hm. Maybe I should have hit the harshest option.

2024-02-13 08:30:22 +0000 UTCI may or may not be biased on this matter

2024-02-13 07:35:30 +0000 UTCI think Furry vessels could be really cool if you explained it in the lore, like an arctic explorer with added fur for more insulation or a caretaker with fur to help keep others warm.

2024-02-13 07:23:31 +0000 UTCJust make sure to keep human/humanoid attributes at the forefront, I really want to avoid seeing something resembling a literal dog. The face is usually the biggest issue for me, the example above is sort of pushing it. Animalistic features are fine and can even enhance the character design. It really depends on how they are executed and how "human" the end result is.

2024-02-13 07:22:18 +0000 UTCI think that is an amazing idea! It's hard for me to tell, with just the outlines, how I'll feel about it when actually in the game. The sketch looks promising, but it'd be a shame if I ended up not using a character just because their looks are a turn-off for me.

2024-02-13 07:05:13 +0000 UTCI think furry characters will be well-liked in VT by most people; the level of furry displayed in the example is relatively low. Personally, I really like the character; the inverted nipples and the chubby belly - and belly squish - are absolutely perfect (she'd probably be my favorite girl) and I think other people will love her too. Additionally, the level of furry is around what I prefer, though, I like that you kept the muzzle short, given I prefer shorter muzzles; I'm decidedly neutral on long muzzles and, in some cases, I find that it doesn't look good in some art styles.

2024-02-13 06:38:22 +0000 UTCif its like the drawing i think its fine. as an example, i don think i should be able to imagine the head on an animals body and think it looks right.

2024-02-13 06:20:55 +0000 UTCI don't have any particular interest in furries, but I don't dislike them either. It's just like how I am with the more human characters: My opinion on them is in the personality. Any aesthetic preference I have is a much, much lower priority. The storyteller in me, however, can't resist a gorgeous world with pleasant character designs. Keep up the good work.
Lackey2
2024-02-13 06:07:59 +0000 UTCA good design goes a long way, I think a lot of dislike for furries comes from bad character design choices. I'm glad you show an example of what they might look like in the game because this is honestly looking good!

2024-02-13 06:07:26 +0000 UTCobviously with my profile i'm all for seeing some furry's , but if it bother people , you could just make them into some Alt costume of character so that people that can hop in or out by just switching the costume ,without locking them out of a character cause they dont like their furry looks
TreeBuddy
2024-02-13 06:01:10 +0000 UTCA good variety of options is always a treat. Considering the current vote proportions, I think a second vote on Demi-humans or monster girls as the person above me mentioned would be interesting to poll.

2024-02-13 05:44:58 +0000 UTCMy absolute favorite are Demi-humans, or monster girls, or whatever you want to call them, but fury can be cute too!
