Right now there is a lot of drafting of ideas and stuff going on since I'm also learning on how to use this game engine. I'm not sure when In May that I'll have a prototype released. It's a short game project that will also be FOSS. So far there are only 3 girls or love interests as you would call them. Two are cat-girls and one of them is a mouse-girl.
The MC and the title were created in mind to mesh with the music genre I have picked for this game project, and that music genre is Emo Pop-Punk fusion. Think bands such as Name Taken, Stars Hide Fire, The Nuclear Saturday. The music was not just an afterthought, it's influence is on the MC and the game title, which brought forward some ideas to explore.

As for the furry girls, the designs wills be on the scale to 2-2.8. The target audience isn't actually furries, I believe you don't have to be one to enjoy something that is on the scale of 2. One thing I'm not sure is if these loli like females are considered cub. When designing them, I had loli like features intended for them.
Do not mistake this as a game for "Furries", this is not one of them.

Update: With how things currently look this could be done before May 12 of 2026

This is visually unlike anything I've seen stylistically. But I'm still pretty new, so maybe I haven't stumbled on similar things yet. As far as furry, I'm 0-1. I agree that if the girl is hot, art is good, kinks are good, I could enjoy 2-2.8. Especially if you start lower and introduce LI's higher on the fur scale later. I think forepaws/teeth/muzzle/excessive body fur is probably the breaking point for me personally. Screenshots are good, would give me enough info to make a download decision, but probably wouldn't download without more game mechanic info, maybe screenshots of stat screens if they exist (rpg). Premise seems fun, humorous, probably meta-aware on some level, a clear theme you already seem to be playing into. It's not a confused-seeming game, I'll likely check it out!

It's going to be a short project. However, I do plan on having a prototype with actual content. I usually make prototypes with a generous amounts of content unlike those from game devs who need to put food on the table. As a hobby dev, I can do that without worrying about any profits from my work.

As for it's RPG combat, it's turn-based with only one controllable character. This is mostly to break away from the usual teams of characters that RPG's tend to do often. Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior 1 was like that.
I will update the about info section a bit later. I don't have any screenshots currently of combat or some of the deeper dungeon parts where there's some changes and differences.

I will say that I'm sticking to the dungeon as being one great big dungeon with many rooms and some branches of different areas.
This game won't be scene heavy either, it will be more on exploring and getting some lore from your dungeon exploration. Though there are 3 love interests that give some insight to the world when you ask them some questions.

I just wanted to drop this notification of a thread about this new project that will coming out sooner rather than later. It also uses the RPG Paper Maker Game engine (RPM) which could use some support since it's only one main creator working on it.

Edit: I will have some combat screenshots added too. and some more details to update the game page.

Good info, sounds promising! I think you earned my eventual download! I do like the one character aspect. If I'm diving into a short porn game, simplicity of mechanics is good. Simple, but engaging, satisfying. Sounds like you're thinking in that vein too.
