We finished writing a rather lengthy page about offers to help! You can find it here:
At first we tried to write something shorter and more concise, but felt it’s better for both you and us if we simply spelled things out. Like it says, we’re not actively hiring, but we are interested in teaming up and working with fellow creative-types. We’ll update it as things come up.
GO TEAM!!

Two more pony characters added to House of Tail! I couldn’t stop. Still think the game needs more females, so am always open to ideas and/or parodies.
Currently finishing up the last bits of code, and fine-tuning the math. Will need to draw the map backgrounds, items, and a few story characters. And code the main menu / game select screen. Then onto beta-testing and release!

You guys and gals are the best! We appreciate the offers to help and don’t want to discourage anyone, but we’re kind of in an odd position because we’re doing this professionally.
Upon spending a lot of time responding to these offers in the past couple of months, and discussing this topic with the team, we’ve decided it’s way past time to write some kind of official page to explain things. We’ll probably put it in the About Us page somewhere.
We do want to grow the team and talk about game ideas, but there are issues involved! Policy forthcoming…

Updated Common Grounds’ troubleshooting faq about a “file is not opened for reading” error when you start the game, thanks to someone’s very helpful feedback.
Finally got around to putting in a dozen or so traps and tricks to handle spam.
It will take some time to adjust things, so please, please let us know if you are unable to register or comment in the forums by using the contact us form.

Hiya! How’s it going?!
The user interface is drawn, most every character is in, basic functions are in place like dragging and dropping icons and viewing stats.
What you’re seeing here is the main house map, where you can assign characters to rooms, have them build new ones, and be maids or the master/mistress of the house. We’ll start with 3 maps, and will add more as we go along, with an ear to what you’d like to see.
We’re very happy to have the game running as smooth as lube in a web browser format. It’s very graphical and animated and audible. We’re hoping it will make it very accessible and easy to get into. I think our best innovation is the character icon and slot system.
There are quite a few games in this genre that I’d like to show you in a review format, and they’re very amusing and fun, but they also tend to be confusing and difficult to get into, (the porn helps.)
I hope the lack of constant explicit sex and extreme kinks everywhere won’t hurt House of Tail, would rather it feel more implied and play open-ended. Meaning: you get to use your imagination about sexual details and the game will try to stay out of the way and let it happen! XD
Well… back to work!

– Erotic Furry Trading Card Game
Congrats to the Furoticon team and their fans for raising enough money to meet their funding goal for their online game, which as of this writing is over $35,000 with 6 days left to go!
You can check out their Offbeatr (like Kickstarter but with sex) here.
– Furry Dating-Game
Studio Knockout has released their first full game, congrats to them as well!
While we like to focus on adult furry games, we also would like to spotlight really cool non-adult ones like this as well. Just a heads up in case you download it expecting porn!
From what I can gather, they’ve been working on it since the beginning of 2010, and they’ve recently finished a character auction for the sequel, having raised $3,130 with 25 characters!
You can check out their game here.

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!)
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 ;_;

Updated the frequent asked questions:
If you have purchased a game and lost the installer, we will be happy to send you another, just ask!
If you have installed Common Grounds’ demo before installing the full game, there is a chance the game will think it’s still in demo-mode. Simply delete the game’s exe and reinstall.
A couple of fans have noticed Norton Antivirus flags the installer as a virus. The files aren’t infected and there’s no need to worry. It’s Norton’s reputation scorer giving us a bad grade, likely due to us not wanting to spend who knows how long trying to figure out how to properly code digital file signatures.

Our power was acting really crazy and we were offline for a week or so. After some time spent rewiring lights and outlets and a call to the power company to find something was wrong on their end, everything is OK.
We’re extremely excited to get back into this–it has been too long! I do believe it’s time to finish up 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!

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~

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
