Regarding failed pledges by US patrons (not your fault, Patreon's fault)

NOTE: This is relevant to US patrons only who use credit card for pledges!

Hello!

If you're wondering why your pledges aren't going through, apparently Patreon has changed their banking into UK and not informed patrons of the change and what happened was that many US patrons pledges are now marked as "fraud" (or something similar, I don't know exacts because Patreon hasn't...

Gaze XVI - Build, build, build your boa-... character!

Hi everyone!

I’m Nullbunny and I’m one of the coders on Hunt and Snare. Welcome to my first post. :)

Today I want to give you a little preview of one of the new features we have in store for you in the next update of Hunt and Snare.

The Character Creator

With the next build we’re rolling out an extended version of the Character Customizer along with the n...

Streaming on Picarto (occasionally, no plans, no mic, just music)

Hello!

I've been "practicing" some streaming as of late, often with Cookiedraggy, and I'm comfortable enough with people watching now, so I wanted to "officially" announce I'm going to, sometimes, stream while working.

I don't have any plans, and most of the work done isn't necessarily exciting, but if yo...

Gaze XIV - Spawn, Breed, Build

New Spawner

As mentioned in an earlier gaze; Drathek has been doing some refactoring work and improving various core mechanics (like gunplay and movement system), and they're next going to tackle the spawning system. 

Currently the spawning system works so that we have spawners (spawning spheres with specific kind of prey than can spawn) check if player is in range, a...

Gaze XIII - Big Books with Sex, Please!

Hello there, luvies! <3

I wanted to write a small update on the progress of the next build as it is taking longer than initially intended. A little background; The core features of the upcoming build is Conversation System and a transition away from the "demo island" (into a better optimized, prettier, and more expandable Skiia).

Gaze XII - Happy Friendship Day!

I know it is normally, in English, Valentine's Day, but in Finland it's actually called as Ystävänpäivä which literally means Friend's Day. But when building with friends, you want to build friendships, not friendboats. So. 

Happy Friendship Day! <3

This is also a formal goodbye to "Is...

Poll: Writing format for pronouns when addressing player

Hello!

Time for another poll, because I love polls, and I love to know what you like the most ^^

As we're almost ready for conversations, I'd like to hear what you would prefer to be referred with in game. Rule number 1 is that everyone is going to be referred with something, and rule number 2 is that no one is called as a male or female against their will (basically means, you'll get to p...

Small reward tier changes

Hello!

I have made small changes to reward tiers. First and foremost; I have changed Iron Cohort (1 usd) to not include early access to public build, as it wasn't really used often enough to warrant that. 

I think going forward I will still transition patreon builds to Iron Cohort before going public, but Iron Cohort is still primarily a voting tier with access to developer posts -tie...

Hunt and Snare - r4.18 - Sweetshop Selection

NOTE: This is an old build, get newest public build from https://www.patreon.com/rufflenecks/posts?tag=public%20build

Poll: Fondling futas

How should we handle futas? Everyone has a different image of how futas work, thus, and I am interested in what is your view of them ^^

Note: You will be able to control spawning of futas, just as you can currently control spawning of male vs female prey. So even if you don't like futas, but they are added into the game, you can still disable spawning of them. 

Poll: What would a fetish fetish if fetish could fetish a fetish? Fetish of course!

This is not to determine what new fetish gets into the game, this is just here to collect knowledge of what kind of things your luvlies would like to see ^^

Note: Bondage is not added to the list, because it is very common these days, and there is definitely going to be some (varying) degrees of bondage in Hunt and Snare :3

Quick Poll: What is your favorite act combination(s)?

Pick your peaches, pick all the peaces that apply to your interests <3

M : Character with penis
F : Character without penis

Generally one character does, other receives

We'll do more advanced fetish polls next as Patreon doesn't allow giving all the options I want to give x)

Hello there everyfur!

I hope your 2018 has started well, and if not, I hope it will improve soon! Ours has started quite well, with little bit of general sickness, cold weather, all the classic January things that we've come to expect from change of years ^^' 

First and foremost, thank you for the awesome last year! I'm very grateful for the support, of all past, present, and future p...

Good day and good evening, my fuzzy little silky butts of love! :3

We're now nearly at the very beginning of 2018, and this is the final Gaze of 2017, posted too late. I shall call it... *drumroll* ...Yearly Gaze. You definitely couldn't have guessed this in advance! You did? Oh. Uhm. *Clears throat* Welcome to the Yearly Gaze I. The first, and one of the many more to come!

I hope you all have a great holiday!

CRITICAL POLL - This will determine minimum requirements for Hunt and Snare and will only take you 5 minutes

As technology advances, we get more and better ways to improve graphical fidelity and optimize rendering, but as technology advances, more and more people might be left behind if they don't have new enough graphical cards to support the technology required.

This poll is CRITICAL, meaning, if you skipped the quick test, and didn't let us know the test didn't work for you, it's po...

Weekly Gaze X - You can't eat that little! You're still growing up!

Hello every single furson and unfurson out there!

First and foremost, sorry for no weekly gaze / monthly gaze, it's been a hectic couple of weeks with both game development and huge amount of new people joining up! It's always a happy problem to have, but I don't like missing these gazes ^^

Weekly Gaze IX - Prey Processing

Hello and welcome to the IXth (I guess you shouldn't use th with Roman numerals) Weekly Gaze! This weeks topic is Prey-...play.. uhm, I mean, processing. What a weird topic for a furry sex game? Well, probably not that weird! Do note these are very rough drafts and things may change based on feedback and tests! ^^

A tiny goal change

All goals except for the #2 are the same, but I have completely replaced the old second goal because it was boring and it didn't add anything cool for you in the game. Basically the first goal is still the good old "reach this, and we can do this" -goal, the second however... is Multiple character acts :3

I have also dropped the threshold for the goal because there was a bit too...

A Gaze into the Future - VII - Also a soft call for feline OC skins

Wow! Is this really the seventh monthly Gaze or did I mess up the numbering at some point? I guess this is! Madness.
