Happy Halloween! – HoT Vamparity

October 31, 2012 in Games, General, House of Tail

Happy Halloween!

We hope you’ll have much fun and candy. (The real party doesn’t start for us until a few days later when all that candy goes on sale–best of times!)

Vamparity in House of Tail

I floated the idea of adding a pony character to House of Tail’s roster, and the reactions were so silly and crazy that I had to draw at least one. I hope you won’t mind. She’s a vampire based off of Rarity, © Hasbro’s My Little Pony.

Since it’s a free game and all, we thought we could get away with a little parody. We are open to suggestions for other female characters, as the game’s lacking a bit there. No promises though, as these things take way too long to draw ;_;

Sebastion Tease | AWA ’12

September 27, 2012 in Common Grounds, Games, General, House of Tail

Sebastion slacking off and being goofy in House of Tail

That sneaky raccoon–how did he get into House of Tail?!

Character request update: we have about 8 more to finish and send out for final approval. Almost there! Should have close to THIRTY characters for the initial release.

Team Fupoco will be away at Anime Weekend Atlanta this weekend, (September 28-30.)

After having experienced two furry conventions, we only thought it honest and true to see an anime one for perspective. I, for one, shall take many pictures and seek out the more ‘interesting’ things and dutifully report my findings. Have already seen events listed as ‘Maid the RPG’ and ‘Yaoi Pajama Party’, which is at like 3 in the morning!

September 2012 Update – HoT Mordecai

September 22, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

Mordecai - House of Tail character

Finished Garou’s request, a prankster-punk albino squirrel character. Drew a little inspiration from Sean Connery in Zardoz.

We should be sending out the rest of the finished character drafts shortly. Then it’s just a hop and a skip till that juicy initial release~

HoT – 17 Sketches COMPLETE

August 25, 2012 in Common Grounds, Games, House of Tail

House of Tail sketch of sebastion playing a game

Major props to the wonderful person who requested Sebastion, (our favorite raccoon from Common Grounds.) Since he’s our own character, I felt okay in drawing him very goofy.

I’ve finished sketching all the character requests. 2 pictures per character, for a total of 34! And I’ve learned something. Next time I’m not taking more than 5 per batch XD

Hot – Sketching MADNESS

August 16, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

house of tail character sketches

What have we been up to the past week or so? Well, we decided to include all 17 character requests into House of Tail 🙂

So far, 10 character sketches (20 pics!) have been drawn. Will begin posting them as soon as the final drafts have been approved. After that, we’ll need to include a few more characters, to bump up the total to around 30.

And I know it’s way past due, and I was hoping to simply show you the game to explain it, but if I have some more time later, will do my best to detail how this thing will play.

Hint: it is *not* a dating sim.

I fear some people might be expecting another one. We will make more, but it’s not all we’d like to make. Hopefully HoT will expand and enhance your expectations of what Fupoco is capable of 😉

HoT – Victoria | Thanks for the requests!

August 5, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

Victoria the vixen in House of Tail

This is Victoria, a vixen you can control in House of Tail. She’s also our first female character! Unless you count Kizzneth~

Character requests are closed!

Thanks for submitting your characters and ideas for ones! With a good size character roster, we can finally start playtesting and balancing the game. Hopefully we will bombard you with updates from here on out!

HoT – Bonnie

August 2, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

Bonnie the crossdressing pink bunny boy

IT’S A TRAP!!

Here we have the 3rd House of Tail character, Bonnie, the cross-dressing bunny.

About the request for characters

You guys are amazing. We were overwhelmed by the response and filled all the slots, and then some, in little over a day.

While we don’t want to leave anyone out because they weren’t fast enough, we do feel we have enough characters for the time being. You’re still welcome to make a request, at least until the end of the weekend.

Please don’t be mad if we end up not adding your character because of this. We really don’t want to have to use the ‘random number generator’ option, but if the list gets any bigger, we’ll probably have to.

If anyone has ideas on how to better handle this kind of request in the future, we’re all ears! Thanks again 🙂

HoT – Kizzneth

July 31, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

House of Tail - Kizzneth tease

I told you we’d have ladies in this one! XD

This is Kizzneth, a ‘c-boi’, who graciously allowed us to draw and include his or her character into the game.

Would you like to have your own character in this too? I went ahead and wrote the official request here. Looking forward to see what happens 🙂

HoT – Second Picture

July 27, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

cat having sex in House of Tail game

Follow up to the previous post: here we see the as yet unnamed cat character having sex.

The first four characters have been drawn, can’t wait to show you. But the next task is to write an official request for characters. Sorry for the wait, we’re almost there!

To clear some things up based on what people are asking us:

  • This game isn’t exactly another dating sim. It’s more about managing characters.
  • There will be women in this one.
  • We’d like to release it as soon as it’s playable, but not when it’s finished. This way, you don’t have to wait too long, and you can have a say in the updates!

House of Tail – Art Direction

July 24, 2012 in Games, House of Tail

Side by side comparison of shading styles for HoT cat

First character drawn, showcasing the visual style.

Originally, the plan was to draw them like the one on the left, maybe with some cell shading, but after playing with brushes and drawing a few more to check consistency, the air brushed look on the right won me over. It looks even better slightly shrunk to fit in the game, since it smooths the black outline.

I hope the javascript warning box is enough of a “NOT SAFE FOR WORK” tag. While I do want to keep the website and games classy, (read: tasteful and tasty,) this is porn we’re talking about! Pics or it isn’t happening XD

The initial release will need a lot of characters, so I will probably take requests. Details will be posted later. Please be patient 🙂
