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?
Squirrel, you say? That contributes to my theory. It's sad there aren't much anthro foxes in games nowadays.
btw, Banners of ruin is a Slay the Spire esque game with furry type characters. Gameplay is virtually the same, but it has a party system.
JozeffTech: Hoodwink is an antrho squirrel of sorts, fast shooter, escape class. I like playing hard support, so she's a great choice. Root is a really good board game.
