/fur/ - Furry★

Originally I was not gonna make this a furry game but instead maybe just have a few anthros a characters seen through out, but I decided to change my mind and go down a different route, I think I might make this a furry game after all. As for it's story, I wanted it to be exciting with some epic fights and cool music score. I want this cyberpunkness to be really far into the future as well, as far as 5603 ad.

That is pretty far ahead in time, maybe have the setting be set after the world has destroyed itself several times causing tech to either stagnate or regress. maybe the old corporations are now viewed as religions with their A.I's seen as gods. The rich who donate and/or work in religions institutions live in star trek tier orbital colonies, while the rest are fucked and have to live on an earth that's either wasteland or ruins of ancient mega cities. Anthros can be the product of an AI that used to design mascots for business, getting it's hands on gene therapy tech and going slightly insane from a previous world war.

Okay, maybe I should move it down to 2300s or something along those lines.

If you feel like submitting some art for free go ahead, that's welcome. I don't mind.

It depends how realistic you want to make it. For hard-realism, anything more than a few hundred years and you're already looking at merely the languages being incomparable to anything spoken today. For example, here's what English was like 1000 years ago (from the opening lines of Beowulf):

Hwæt! Wé Gárdena in géardagum

þéodcyninga þrym gefrúnon·

Also keep in mind that while Beowulf was transcribed into the Latin alphabet (where possible) for a manuscript post-dating the original poem likely by centuries, Old English from earlier was written using runes. So it not only doesn't SOUND like modern English, it doesn't LOOK like it, either.

Of course, all religion and culture is going to be completely different, too. Probably even more than historical precedent suggests, because modern technological changes and globalization are accelerating cultural drift.

A drug dealer.

Or a cyber drug dealer. Someone that goes around with a briefcase and some kind of headset/neural link and sells people artificial memories and feelings.

Well 5603 AD wouldn't be far into the future if Humans died out, but some contaminated Retrovirus leaked out and of some privatized no red tape McLab in Burgeralnd and caused anthros to exist. 5603AD would be he hunter gathers of that civilization. If you want furries to be high tech in 5603AD you'll need them to exist in a way that doesn't cause the destruction of human civilization, so in that case about 70%-10% of the characters should be human. If you want it to just be furries and have this anthro civilization exist after human civilization wipes it's self out you'll need a few ten thousand years for civilization to develop to a high tech stage.

>>74629

That’s much more realistic if this anthro civilization developed as a byproduct of human civilization. If you want anthros to exist after humanity destroyed it’s self you’ll need tens of thousands of years from now.

>I'm trying to come up with an all new character design using a new art style, don't know whether he's an agent, some civilian or hoodlum guy or what not.

He’s a scenario. Furries are created by corporations as a cheep pool of labor because there not humans they don’t have human rights they can be put in slave conditions and give no pay. And there’s an insurrection by the furries against this. Your main character could be a rebel leader.

What if this all furry world is in another realm that's like zootopia in that way though?

>>74707

OP said 5603AD that clearly implies our realm.

>>74716

Okay, then I suppose we should go with some kind of retro virus that transforms 70 % of humans into anthro animals then.

Personally I think you should go with an anime style unique to your game, and make your serval character look cool with some Mohawk that slightly is spikey and slightly hangs down. And give him some biker looking outfit.

Give him muscle too.

>At what point does it stop being cyberpunk and start being sci-fi?

Cyberpunk is a sci-fi sub-genre.

I get what you mean tho.

Cyberpunk is all about the contrast between technological advancement and societal regression. The former being the cause of the latter. Dark/earthy and neon colors. Gloomy enviroments.

"Other" sci-fi genres generally make both tech and society advance in equal measure. White/grey, aseptic colors prevail.

>>74659

Pretty good, would hire for mercenary work again. 9/10

>>74788

The author should definitely consult >>>/sci/ about technological realism.

>>74956

Don't worry about it. "Retrovirus" is just the newest technobabble solution for a thing that can do ANYTHING; just like nanomachines, robots, and radiation that came before it in decades past.

thanks

Maybe you could have humans largely inhabiting separate cities and locations than anthros in the world. sort of like some sort of hyper racial segregation.

Middle East and North Africa for humans, and everything else for Furrys.

>>75687

Having a war between the two could be a good plot.
