Basically, it's a fantasy game about puppets, where you get to "take the strings" or "cut loose" different enemies. Stageplay style art, and a high skill ceiling.
Currently a dungeon crawler survival game yeah, a fox wouldn't be hard to add, I just need to throw together some art. It'll probably be a rogue type character with knives. Stealthy I think, with unique ways of jumping behind enemies. It could work.
So you make games? That sounds cool! Project Geneva, which is my comic here (id:2762742), by the way, was originally a game concept, although it's not really visible in the comic itself, although the name was inherited, though ciphered. I'm also an essayist, but I stop myself frequently.
Also a lot of foxes in board gaming, just not video gaming due to it's close connection to the internet. Oath or Root are good examples.
Also, I'll chuck a fox in as a playable character for ya, lol. I make games, none published yet, but some are getting closer. xD
A rather foxy looking squirrel, but yes. I honestly think they're avoided because they carry a bad connotation now thanks to the bad/loud side of the furry fandom. most people don't want tangled up in that.
Have you ever read Project Geneva?
