I love the detail you guys put into the game, lately i've been feeling like games have been lacking creativity, it's games like this that keep me wanting more from gaming. So much care and detail is being put into this game to make it play smoothly. If only all game developers did that instead of putting a piece of crap out to make a quick buck.

Because it's the personification of the territorial nature of nature.

It's to bring us down closer to Earth and show us how brutal the animal life really is. At least that's how I gathered.

I saw some posts talking about it being a "stupid furry game" (not that there's anything wrong with that if that's your thing). Let me clear something up: could you imagine how WEIRD this would look with human characters? You see a game with an amazing combat system so you criticize the character models? There's bound to be a bunch of reskins anyway. If you're still not satisfied but want the combat quality, I'm pretty sure Lugaru (the game before this) had a Matrix reskin.

It doesn't really matter because we don't get to control the trajectory of the sword slash anyway...

[MOHdified]

I wish more game developers would go more into detail like you guys :).

[FoundationsofPause]

Amazing.

@ipariszalonna

That's true. This would be nowhere near as believable or visceral if these were humans.

@xalener And to avoid the uncanny valley. I think that's the biggest reason for using animals for Wolfire.
