Booster Pack: Furries!
I want too. So hopefully the other artists will comply - it's stuff we've been asking for since the start. It took so long to get bunny tails, and even longer for them on males, ears the same way...
I'd definitely pay 10 bucks to have proper furry stuffs.

i'd like animal leg's that didn't bend backwords to. it is so hard to make a werewolf with backwards knees look right.
No.
Wait, let me think about it for a.... no.
But if it were... no.
Head pieces aside, all the fur and scales in the world would pale compared to getting some decent tails. The generic cat tail is ok, but we would need tail feathers, a decent canine tail, perhaps some physics on the tails so the arent static polygons (if capes can react to movement, so can tails).

So you agree NetMinder you just want for tails rather than other stuff... I agree i just didn't list it so :P

The knee is fine on the anthro model, what are refering to is the long ankle joint. Which is proper for the digitigrade stance. If you have a dog, have him/her/it stand on thier hind legs.. look at how long the foot is with them really just standing on thier toes. Human walking has us walking on our entire foot, not just the toes.
(digitigrade - toe walker, plantigrade - foot walker)

i'm not referong to that specifically. i would like an option that gives claw feet that look normal just like on any werewolf from the old movies. the clawed feet they have now look kind of silly when tryin to achieve that.

Not really. Well maybe.
I just dont want Paragon City any "furry-ier" that it already is. And before this turns into a flamefest, Im not bashing furries (that hard), but I could see dev time and effort being put into things that would have a greater appeal to the masses. Most people are pretty galvanized on the issue (love vs. hate) and this would just cause contention.

Thats cause the only "monsterous" form is digitigrade. It would be nice to have a plantigrade model with the monsterous-digitigrade options (claws etc). That should be a simple texture graft on to the normal model.

See... here's the thing NetMinder. You're against the name furry, not the idea it appears, but why shouldn't we get this stuff? This is all over comics and such. It's not a "We want furries in here!" it's a we want more options that match anthropomorphic characters. And while you say this would only benefit furries...well that's nonsense. I'm not a furry and I'd love this stuff as would others who are not furry.
Oh good, I was hoping you would spot that.
Simply renaming the pack to something less flammable would help alot. Even in the preliminary phase of gathering support.
(FWIW, two of my toons are very much anthro, I even made a halloween costume from one. So Im all for some extra anthro options. It would just be a shame to see it deep-6'ed because of poor marketing/naming.)

"I am not sure if my portrayal of being insane is accurate, but damn its fun all the same."
More costume options are always nice. And I have to say, it would be very nice to be able to get clawed feet without having to choose the monstrous option. Actually, now that that was brought to mind, it would be nice to just plain-old have toes.

Characters
NetMinder, I can't think up a better name so whatever ^.^
And yes toes would be nice.
What about "mutant"...? Or is that too obvious.
Well, it was hinted the mutant pack may have furries.
things i would like to see in a fur and fethers pack are.
Id mostly like to see a fluffy fox/cat/skunk/wolf tail id like to see this tail textureable with stripes spots centerstripe(skunk) tip(fox). it does not need to be animated any more than the long ponytails are. they should use the fur technique from the magic cloak and chrismas boots.
Id also like to see some bird parts. maybe reskin the witch bussle with feather. and for pete sake please give beaks im tired of seeing all the chicken people wearing gassmasks
more cat/wolf/fox/monsterous faces would be cool also. and I want to see a bunch of the monsterous heads made to wear hats/hoods. i want to see a bunch of 8 foot werewolves in a trenchcoat and fadora its like a comic staple.
Yeah having the monsterous feet for normal legs would be very nice.
But also having skirts/kilts for monsterous legs = love.
I don't really understand the hate behind the word furry, the people who you're thinking of when negative thoughts come along are NOT the same as the rest of us who like drawing/writing, or whatevr and the character happens to have an animal feature.
Having a full on booster for specific animal traits would be exactly as necessary or desirable as the Robotic stuff, exactly as pervasive in the game. I see just as many catgirls as demons and robotics, so... yeah I'm hoping that the "mutant" pack is mostly this.

I definitely want more and better animal costume elements. The critter heads we have now are pretty horrible, and the tail selection comes up far short, as well. If they could finally give us moving tails (maybe they could adapt the trenchcoat tech?), that would be wonderful.
The ridiculous knee-jerk anti-furry responses that would likely arise if they actually called it the Super Furry Booster Pack probably makes another name advisable. If the pieces aren't in the Mutant pack (which I would expect them to have to share with third-eye faces and other oddities), perhaps a Beast Booster Pack?

Why? Do explain, why having extra costume equipment which has 'fur' appearances, is any more horrific than the robotic/cyborg stuff from the other pack?
Personally, I'm *terrified* of robots. Physically I get dizzy looking at 'realistic' robots like you see on youtube. That's horror for me.
I still bought - and USE - those costume parts, because they're part of one of my character's background.
Just as any given 'magical cat girl' or 'uplifted porcupine' has their own place.
The only horror about "furries" is the lack of information and the huge prejudice against them because of that lack.

All the modern werewolves look like what we've got.
Also: I can't remember where, but I've heard a rumor that the mutant booster is slated to have animal bits.

How about just calling it the Natural or Bestial Booster Pack?
While I want parts such as this they should not reference deviant sexual behavior in their title. Thank you. This is a TEEN rated game.
It doesn't reference it. Animals are furry thus they are called furry. And being a furry is not a deviant behavior but this is not the place for that.

Exactly. There's nothing whatsoever about "furry" - however the word BEASTIAL does directly imply beastiality, and I would avoid that entirely.

Edited to explain my feelings a little better, and hopefully not get caught up in the flame war.
I'll admit that I'm fairly ignorant of the "furry community". When I hear the word furry, I think of people dressing up in animal costumes to have sex. And unfortunately that seems to be the impression that the average person has of it. It might not be fair, but it's reality. If you want an example, go to google image search, turn off safesearch, and type in furry or furries. Over half the returns are either furry porn or jokes about furry sex. So tying the name furries to animal costume parts is going to give people the wrong idea.
If you still don't get where I'm coming from, please support MY ideas as well then. I've listed them here for your perusal.
