Ooops! sorry I didn't reply sooner. I forgot to click the button to post the reply, heheh.

Thank you very much! I want to do something else about kitsune, but I haven't come up with anything yet.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the game. I actually cheated a bit with the variety, since three of the endings stem from a single choice. It only occurred to me while writing that it’s not just about choice between "liberty" and "duty", but also "rejection" (yep, it took me a while to realize that this would be the most obvious behaviour of the hunter's apprentice in this situation, hehe). What's your headcanon ending?

Thank you!
She gets confused and starts the ritual again, asking questions from the first one.

Thank you so much for such kind words! I'm really glad you liked the game, and I'll try not to let the quality drop in my next games (though sometimes it doesn't quite work out, hehe).

The horror element appeared pretty randomly. The furry jam theme was "chained". So I started thinking that the main character should somehow be bound and have restricted movement. Then I thought a plot twist was needed. Also, I watched the first episodes of Babylon 5 (unfortunately dropped it), and I really liked the idea of the first aggressive contact between humans and Minbari. And the puzzle came together: it would be good to write that he's not a prisoner of war, but was killed in a previous life, and in this one he's only trapped inside the shell. And that the drakian is trying to exist on the border between death and new life.The theme is terrifying (but one we've already gone through and will go through many, many more times).

I just don't know how to write without hope, hehe. Otherwise it gets really sad even when coming up with bad endings. That's why I softened the ending for the militarist version — so that he still finds like-minded people (maybe someone among the drakians on the station used to be human too, and that's why they could easily get along with humans).

Oops! I will add a disclaimer now. I am sorry. I didn't realize that even in that comedic situation, the scene still be embarrassing, you're right. Once again, I apologize and thank you very much!

Yeah, typical Penalty, hehe. He can only flatter. At first, I thought about just adding him as a reference, but then I got the idea to bring back Sapphire (especially when I started reading online about how reincarnation works according to Buddhists and how the soul can reincarnate with people it's attached to), so I decided to make Penalty the father for the sake of humor.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the game. 

Thank you very-very-very much for the kind words! I completely agree—the Republic could have helped those people and even turned the situation around, for example by engineering a new virus strain that would spread to recovered carriers and revert their genotype and phenotype to fully human. But that would’ve required enormous resources: rebuilding the lab, tracking down all the staff—including the lead scientist, who’s either hiding in Kangshar with other escapees or already outside the Republic.

By the way, I’m thinking of someday making something like a Dictator (1982) game about the President. If he juggle the front-line situation, the General’s demands, Tericheva's loyal police, the civilian economy, and invest in science and humanitarian efforts, he could cure the Kangsharans and either make peace with the Empire or adapt to a new society of humans and meta-humans and drive the Empire off Republic soil (with an uncertain future). Some spin-off with modular endings.

P.S. You’re a good person for trying to care for others in such a situation. If I were in that hotel owner’s shoes, I’d panic first, think about barricading myself inside, rush to the nearest store, and try to buy everything—food, boards, anything—not noticing some porcupine-person walking in with me. In my panic, I’d end up as one of the first-wave victims of the disease, hehe!

P.P.S. And then, after the fever and transformation, I’d probably start helping anyway, offering rooms at a discount or even for free, since many neighbors could’ve been left homeless due to the city chaos. But then Civil Defense would evict us all((

SebaCeba, can you please make a new link? The old link was temporary for 7 days.

Server of furry game developers and for Furry Games and Dev Jam
Other server of furry game developers and for Furry Game Jam (other jam)

Sorry for the late reply. I've added the ability to download files to your computer.

I suggest joining a Discord server of furry game developers, Furry Games and Dev. It has chats and catalogs related to furries, but we could also ask for separate chats for present and future Jams and for games and discussions about the TF genre, I think.

Yes, you're right! In another case, handing out food to those marauders (in a city warehouse outside the safe zone? I've already forgotten the plot, haha!) could have resulted in a dagger in the back for excessive good nature, which could have been perceived as weakness. The city is in chaos, and many are losing the last parts of their humanity, including morality, including the principle of "good for good." And in all cases, handing out food is also debatable: yes, those people are starving, but people in the safe zone are starving too. Is it possible to share food that was intended for the hungry people with starving people, when it is unclear whether there will be food for the hungry person tomorrow or if this food would save them from the fate of starving.

Sorry for the demagogic rant. In short, damn this blockade and the General :)

Thank you!

Thank you very much for playing!

Hahah! I tried to make the idea that after a right-winged turn there would be a left-winged turn, and after a left-winged turn there would be a right-winged one, but politically biased. Then, unfortunately, the idea didn't work in the endings. Yes, I think I'm closer to a left-winged soyjak than to a centrist, heh.

Phahahhah!!

Hahahh! Thank you!

Thank you very, very much!

Thank you very much!

I agree with you that the theme of the jam may not be visible, I only mentioned it once in the game, in one or two sentences. Reflection is as reflection in the mirror when you see a scar healing and want to make a photo but you see a human in camera pictures and in the mirror.

Thank you very much for three wonderful games! It was an extremely informative and interesting experience! I even created an account specifically to thank you. Surely in the future we will be able to build real AI and to expand the boundaries of self-expression. Well, we will also be able to build a socially oriented market economy. I believe that YES WE CAN :) :) :)

Thank you very much for your careful observation! I was also shocked by the story and didn’t pay attention to it, but when I read your comment and decided to check it in the game, I realized that "the owls are not what they seem". It's very interesting!

It’s even cool that humanity remained in the character, even though he went through complete robotization, because humanity remained in him as a moral system and his past. This is more important than biological humanity. Utilikins also have humanity, as I learned from all three games (maybe I understood wrongly, I'm sorry), but they went about it in a different way.
