Wait is this just Sonic but with a normal running speed instead of DUDE FAST?
>Silver, but a fox
Is he the only playable character?
Seems like it
gave you a follow dev
I was going to make fun of your studio's socials having practically zero followers, but I decided I'm going to make fun of you for being Brazilian instead.
>including the ages because they know their game will generate degenerate porn and twitter schizos will seethe if it's the wrong number
They know
those schizos will just shift goalposts to "NOOO IT'S TOO SHORT TO BE AN ADULT SO IT'S STILL CHILD PORN"
they must assert their moral superiority over internet strangers at any cost
>these same schizos will also post how much they wanna see their anime boys kissing and fricking
Never take them seriously, mute and/or block.
>Autistic Sonic Adventures Clone
>When this could have easily been an indie dupe of Starfox

sadly still in early access though, so pirate it if you wanna play
Looks pretty good but I wouldn't have gone with Monkey girl protagonists.
Me either, never really liked monke; too similar to humans.
would have gone with cute mousegirls instead
not him, but there's Bat Galatic in the making. The dev is making progress but no steam page yet
>Sonic Adventures Clone
At that speed? That's some Mario shit.
Where's the big breasts?
dkvr
rape correction needed
sooo, where the men?
because the devs love to animate some thicc booty and sexy animal bits to cater to the furry degenerates who eat that shit up
Because it's a great way to completely sidestep the "muh diversity" homosexuals that will screech negative PR at your game until you add 500 Black person characters to it.

UHHGHHHHGHGGG
I prefer 3D platformers with humanoid 2D characters
I just wanna play good 3D platformers with neat characters.
This ain't one of them.
In the good days it was because you could show that the character you played as can burrow because it's a mole or roll because it's an armadillo. Then it just because the style because people struggle to get out of mindsets.
furries tend to attract to them and they can be a huge boost to your marketing+sales.
Gimme crotch fluff and I'm all in
Ugly. Why can't Westerners design cute characters?
obsessed (and wrong)
>Why can't Westerners design cute char-ACK
Alright I'll concede that vividlope is cute but you have to admit it's pretty rare for westerners
no, it isnt.
the demo is kinda fun but holy shit why is the mouse sensitivity for fricking high by default.
>No doggo and rabbit girl yet
Sad
Kids like talking animals and non-Mario platformers became a thing in the early 90s, when vidya as a whole was mostly seen as a little kid's thing besides doom (which of course was considered satanic etc for it).
Come to think of it I wonder if it's because Mario is the definitive platformer and is a human, that this had an influence for people to try to avoid making another platformer featuring a jumping dude to avoid being called a Mario copycat.

Nah.
The spam of animal mascot platformers was game devs trying to copy Sonic.
Because either they have small children running around as the MC or animal-people. The genre having its roots in N64/PS1 child-marketed games means that you will have 'cute characters' as the key design.
Some have robots instead but they're less common.
Of course there's also 3D Platformers in the style of Portal where you have some weird plot bullshit for why the MC is running around solving shit but they tend to be either philosophical wank or surreal shit.
Probably because it's more believable that an animal thing can jump 10 feet in the air. Whereas a human doing that requires a certain level of cognitive dissonance, or some contrived explanation.
american mc gee Alice
Doesn't she have butterflies flutter at her feet when she jumps? Plus the game takes place in a dream.
Alice is in a dream world.
Sybil too
ok, what about a robot then?
Because they're cute.
Next question.
>we have tails at home
It's fun browsing through SAGE's list of original games though the quality really varies.
Yeah, that event is always a treat.

Animals are superhuman in some ways, usually pretty mundane ways if they're mammals, and this gives you a good excuse as to why you're able to move around the environment in a superhuman way.
One of the first games I wanted to make was one where you play as a shapeshifter, so you can turn into a monkey to swing from things or throw shit at enemies, turn into a bull to ram a door down, turn into a cat to navigate rooftops and survive a long fall, turn into a mouse to sneak into the walls of a building and find small animal communities inside them, turn into a dog to track scents and dig up the ground, etc. I wanted it to be something you could spam, so you could do stuff like turn into a small animal to dodge an attack, then immediately jump into a larger form to counter attack. Stuff like that.
