I think Skyrates is an example of how productive the ‘furry’ fantasy genre can be when it actually has a coherent story universe to live in. To me, it seems that a lot of the weird things that the ‘furry fandom’ gets associated with are just a product of the boredom that comes from not having such a story universe to work with.

For those open-minded individuals who opt to try this game, you’ll be rewarded by a surprisingly deep story and a masterfully-crafted game interface. The ‘furry’ stylistic element simply completes this game – otherwise it’d be way too comical, or else much too uptight.

Pretty good, but it should be more like TaleSpin

(It seems me and Jack Colby were the only people on Earth who watched it)

Got me hooked very quickly! I blame you for grabbing so much of my free time! First it was Travian, and now this!

Thanks for bringing this to light. I’m frightened by how much I’d be willing to pay to spend ten minutes a day living out my TaleSpin fantasies.

I’m really hooked on this one… having a great time! Thanks Jim! You’ve brought a smile to the face of a small african child!

And me

While furries, as they have evolved into internet wise are evil, the basic idea of anthropomorphic animals is still friendly and can be fun. Redwall anyone? :)

Eh, it’s not being delibriately furry and seems to be a serious project, so it’s not doomed. And now I can’t stop playing… Damn you ALL!

I played this back when it was pre-pre-Beta or something like that. It was a fantastic game for me since I could spend literally 5 minutes a day on it. Also, the play-by-SMS functionality is pretty good.
