And then, we went to the L.A. Times Festival of Books — where we saw things like the preview of Ten Ton Titan Terrier, a new comic from writer David Pepose (Spencer & Locke) and artist Ornella Greco (Total Suplex of the Heart). “When an asteroid unleashes a horde of alien monsters known as Bio-Titans, Earth must turn to a suit of extraterrestrial battle armor to save the day — but there’s just one catch. Because the only creature on the planet capable of turning it on… is an 11-inch-tall terrier named Holly. With the Bio-Titan threat escalating by the second, Holly and her scientist owner Sam will find their unique bond tested, as he trains his mischievous mutt to become not just man’s best friend, but humanity’s only hope.” Look for it this October, from Papercutz.

知名表演者黑鹿季雪，於4/5晚上六點至九點半，於Corner House角落文創展演空間進行【一鹿向光】黑鹿季雪 2025 LIVE活動。本次活動共有一百二十多位參加者報名，到現場支持季雪並欣賞表演。

本次活動除了有音樂表演外，也有舞蹈、互動環節與抽獎等節目。活動首先演出的七首曲目，分別為《merry chrismas mr.lawrence》、《大魚》、《浮光》、《碼頭姑娘》、《南山南》、《熒汐》、《revolution》，皆為季雪精心挑選。

季雪在受訪時表示，他以用古箏演出可以好聽又獨特為選曲標準。歌曲《Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence》、《浮光》是季雪心中的寶藏歌單，在好幾年前就想過要以古箏及器樂做現場呈現；《大魚》、《碼頭姑娘》、《南山南》是比較流行的曲目，因此想以不同音樂人的合作帶給觀眾新鮮感；兩年前所寫的原創作品《熒汐》透過與特林合作編曲成鍵盤以及弦樂合作，展現古箏柔情似水及洶湧澎湃的風格；《Revorution》則是與電子音樂人Ice合作的歌曲，藉由跳脫傳統樂器的音響效果，讓大家看看一個這麼古老的樂器，也可以帶來新潮的音樂體驗。

曲目《南山南》表演有特別來賓柴虎在台上演唱。攝影／藍豆腐bluetoufu3，黑鹿季雪授權提供。 季雪演奏曲目《Revorution》的畫面。攝影／藍豆腐bluetoufu3，黑鹿季雪授權提供。 活動中由季雪、帕洛特跟柴虎與台下觀眾演唱安可曲《下一個天亮》。攝影／藍豆腐bluetoufu3，黑鹿季雪授權提供。

除了古箏演出外，特別來賓二足步行樂團與舞團夥伴WannaBeast的演出也受到現場觀眾喜愛。對於本次活動內容，季雪表示：「這場活動是由各種小小願望與自己喜歡的舞台組成的，像是演奏我喜歡的古箏音樂、與舞團夥伴WannaBeast帶給大家充滿活力的舞蹈、想要跟二足步行的團員們一起登台演出、想要跟柴虎把曲目《南山南》演出的更好、想要把我自己喜歡，而不是市場喜歡的歌曲帶給大家等等的願望」。

特別來賓二足步行樂團在活動上演奏曲目《spiral》、《小さな恋の歌》等共五首歌曲。攝影／藍豆腐bluetoufu3，黑鹿季雪授權提供。 圖為舞團WannaBeast在台上演出。攝影／藍豆腐bluetoufu3，黑鹿季雪授權提供。

季雪在受訪時表示，他在活動一開場便說「不要把這裡當成一個音樂會，請把這裡當成一場跨年晚會哈哈哈哈哈！」即使活動的準備期倉促，不僅因為場地日期問題導致活動延後，同時還與一個大型邀請制獸聚活動撞期，另外活動前一個月才開放售票，讓他原本對於票房沒有太多信心，但仍有許多人報名並且來現場欣賞他的表演，讓他感受到很大的鼓勵。

對於活動感想，季雪也表示他好喜歡表演，希望能做一輩子的表演。身為表演者歷經15年，他發現這件事情很辛苦，能有一個自己的舞台更是不容易的夢想，因此在台灣傳統音樂市場萎靡的現在，有一群朋友願意支持他去演奏自己喜歡的音樂，季雪對此深深地感謝。

活動中有穿插互動小遊戲，圖為觀眾要投出圈圈丟中季雪的鹿角。攝影／凡凡 VinTheCoyote，黑鹿季雪授權提供。 活動有進行抽獎，由獸聚活動UTFG、以茶會毛、獸無限、NordicFuzzCon提供獎項。攝影／藍豆腐bluetoufu3，黑鹿季雪授權提供。

至於未來是否會再舉辦活動，季雪表示預計12月會公布相關消息，並且於隔年三月舉辦，若是沒有公布請拔他的鹿角提醒他。不過他也提到本次活動讓他滿足了很多對舞台的願望與思考，並且產生許多的新想法，因此會花上一些時間來沉澱、思考未來能提供給觀眾們甚麼東西，也希望明年活動能夠在活動上跟大家相見，但在之前需要先放他自己三個月的假期。

活動的相關紀念品也將在六月的FurryMOSA活動上進行販售，歡迎有想要周邊的粉絲們到場購買。

A street celebration and a party on a battleship – Two of the biggest events for one of the world’s most active furry communities.

For June 29: NorCal Furries are raising funds to be in the San Francisco Pride Parade.

This huge city-crossing festival will be on national TV with a million watchers, for a high energy show of costumes and colors where the furry group keeps getting awarded for expressing the purpose of Pride. Generous donors make tickets and the group’s own club party free for the community. Plans are in motion with about 300 tickets, so if you want to join, visit the page to get one now while you still can.

For May 24-26: Galactic Camp returns for a whole weekend.

Their 2018-2019 single day parties drew close to 1000 members. Those made a launch pad for an “un-con” on a WWII aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet, a floating historical landmark and nonprofit museum that’s sustained by unusual events. This unexpected non-hotel space will have panels, dealers, bars, DJ’s and the dances you do expect. Don’t miss the boat for this wonder of the furry world. Basic registration is upgraded to next tier for a limited time.

All of this makes a highly anticipated season after the local Fur Con – imagine living here!

SF Pride’s theme this year is Resistance

Since 2012, the NorCal Furries have brought hundreds of members a year to the San Francisco Pride Parade. Anyone can join, and it’s uniquely on a public street – this isn’t the typical closed hotel fursuit parade.

The unboxed experience requires checking weather, self-preparation without change space on street, and walking a mile route, besides hustling through crowds to meeting points. It’s worth it for here-ness with the allies of queerness, where high energy meets delighted viewing; it’s a good thing fursuit heads can protect you from all the cheering!

There’s something new and significant this year: stakes.

The government has been chilling sponsorship that keeps Pride events free to join. It’s less politically safe for corporate support, funds are tight, and it’s harder to get insurance for groups. There’s also overt moves against LGBT rights. Oppression of trans people uses furries as a pretext. Politicians in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and even the White House have named furries as causes to defund media and education. With such stakes on everyone, here’s a message from the executive director of SF Pride: “Ford says this year’s ‘Queer Joy is Resistance’ theme is a reminder of where Pride started: As a protest.” – ABC 7 News

The link again for tickets to march with NorCal Furries on June 29.

Ready for battle?

The USS Hornet is a battleship that ran missions like recovering astronauts from the ocean for the Apollo Space Program. See the artifacts, stick your face in the jets of vintage aircraft, or get your fursuit photo next to a real space suit!

It’s like a whole town to explore below deck, and it might be haunted… you’ll know if you catch a whiff of smoking in the officers lounge… but officially the refreshments are from 4 furry-run themed bars reachable with hatches and ladders, and food trucks out on the dock.

Those can keep you going for panels, the Dealer’s Den, gaming, or the dance competition. Learn fursuit building, art, storytelling, or just meet others in a nautical way – the rats on this ship can talk. Galactic Camp is sure to make stories unlike any con on earth.

The link again to register for Galactic Camp on May 24-26.

Bullet hells aren’t necessarily a unique type of game to see over the past few years, so if you’re gonna develop one now, you’ve got to bring something unique (if not a few things) to the table. Fur and Fables is an Early Access release by Double Crow Games, with the spin on the tried-and-true formula being a cast of furry animal heroes that can battle through levels as a team of 1 to 6, all controlled by you in a line that becomes an auto-firing battalion that you move around the boundless stages. Additionally, the characters that make it through to the end of the stage keep the levels you upgrade them to. It was an overall surprisingly deep and fun experience that featured quirky art, unique gameplay ideas, and forgiving strategy.

What do you call a group of 3 nerdy white guys hanging out? A podcast.

Fuzz, Ajax, and Savrin sat down around a mic on Savrin's new laptop to just shoot the shit. Lots of Star Trek banter, Savrin getting derailed by Ajax, and other such silliness.

This is a free one, obviously.

Episode 567 - Three Dogs

Here’s another independent comic book series that’s been around for a while — but we were only lucky enough to discover it recently. Tokai is a shaded black & white science fiction comic written and illustrated by A.R. Lytle. According to them, it’s about “…a little alien named Tokai caught in a war on his home planet, Arurha. He’s taken in by a family of rebels, bent on reclaiming their planet from the Network Invaders. The only problem,:Tokai is a pacifist. Tokai must use his wits to stay alive and protect the innocent as the war gradually descends into chaos at the hands of religious fanatics.” Four issues are available now.

When you’re looking for games to play with a buddy, sometimes you just want to work together in a comfy setting, sitting back on your couch or over Discord and enjoying a story together. Hidalgo looks to provide that in a lovely way, based on our playthrough of the demo. After a successful Kickstarter campaign that you can still make late pledges to, Hidalgo is expected to come out May 2026. This should give the team at Infinite Thread Games plenty of time to craft and perfect an already pleasant experience. Here are our thoughts on the demo of Hidalgo, which I played on Steam for this preview.

Furry & Animal Steam Game Finds:

These games were found in the New Releases section of Steam this week and will be updated as more come out throughout the week!

May has arrived after a very busy April! The Cóyotl Awards have concluded, and we’re working on an announcement venue to reveal the winners within a week or so.

The next big thing is guild officer elections. We have several guild members running for office this year, including one contested seat! That means we’ll have a guild-wide vote in mid-May. Until May 14, candidates will answer questions on the guild’s Discord server, in the “Guild Officer Elections” channel. If you have a question but want to remain anonymous, you can email it to furwritersguild [at] gmail.com and I will post it for you. On May 16, voting will start via online ballot, which I’ll announce here closer to the time. We will most likely make one of our rare guild-wide emails to alert members when voting is live, so this is a very good time to update your email address if you need to.

Convention season is well underway as spring and summer weather brings out furries like weird flowers in the northern hemisphere, and cooling weather in the southern hemisphere allows for suiting without too much risk of heat stroke. I hope you get a chance to attend a convention or furmeet in your area! Even if you can’t, hopefully you’ll get some time off work or school so you can do some writing.

Here are the current open markets for your short stories:
The Second Hayven Celestia Anthology – Deadline July 15, 2025
Indecent Exposure – Deadline When Full
This Is Halloween – Deadline When Full
Children Of The Night – Deadline When Full
Furry/Lovecraftian/Erotic/University Themed Anthology – Deadline When Full

Have you ever had a game on your radar that just slipped you by for a while until for whatever reason, you finally cave and give it a try? That was Cassette Beasts for me. My first exposure to Cassette Beasts was when Daxel and Valraven played it together on Stream a couple of years back. I thought it looked really cool at the time and I liked the gameplay I saw. I didn’t actually get it until recently though, just in time for its second anniversary. And it’s easily one of the best creature battler rpgs I’ve ever played.

More kung fu fighting from WonderCon! Last year brought us a new comic, Animal Warriors of the Kingdom, written by Jason Bienvenu and illustrated by Utuma Prastha. “The Great Houses of the Animal Kingdom are in shambles. A tyrannical ruler has all but consolidated his complete control over the land and sea. With the impending fall of the last resistance stronghold, the flame of hope is almost extinguished. One last beacon of light is all that remains of the once robust resistance-a young ape named Pale, whose quest to mend the fractured trust between the great animal houses will be tested as he seeks to neutralize, Emperor Kah Lee!” The big news? This year the creative team were introducing a brand new line of tie-in action figures from Spero Toys.

SUPER AC is thrilled to unveil the first trailer for Prohibeast. This first glimpse reveals the game’s distinctive atmosphere, tactical intensity, and richly crafted world. From the trailer and media, it appears the player gets to take on the roles of multiple different animal species and tactifully move around the city that's inhabited by other anthros.

In Prohibeast, players are transported to 1930s Chicago, a city riddled with corruption and illegal meat trafficking following a nationwide consumption ban. Players step into the shoes of Eliot Ness and his team of Untouchables, determined to dismantle Al Capone's criminal empire by operating from the shadows.

Key Features:

• Real-time strategic infiltration – Each mission offers multiple approaches, from stealthy infiltration to discreet takedowns and clever diversions.
• Environmental exploitation – Utilize hiding spots, alternative routes, and strategic distractions to achieve your objectives.
• Sharp-sensed enemies – Face opponents with keen eyesight, acute hearing, and a strong sense of smell.
• Specialist team – Lead the Untouchables, each with unique and complementary skills: tactical experts, snipers, heavy hitters, and more.
• Iconic locations – Infiltrate some of Chicago’s most emblematic sites — The Loop, the Mayor’s Mansion, the Lake Michigan docks, and more.

PROHIBEAST is set for release on PC by the end of 2025.
🕹️ Prohibeast is now available to wishlist on Steam:

Is there anything slicker than a frog? What about a sea frog with a rocket-powered wrench expertly grinding and sliding his way around an overflowing amount of dangerous, varied, and exciting obstacles and objectives across giant sea-faring vessels? Seafrog, developed by OhMyMe Games, is all that and more. There’s a huge amount of gameplay stuffed inside the seahole that Master Seafrog is trapped inside that you’re trying to get out of. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the overall experience, and the game fully took advantage of its designed systems.

Bearly Furcasting S5E23 - All Together Agin, Again

While at WonderCon we met Stephan Franck and got to check out their new full-color furry comic. Here’s how they describe it: “Romance in the Age of the Space God takes place in a world not unlike ours, in which Nate, Lydia, and Anya struggle to find their place and purpose, only to find themselves at the center of a mysterious plot of cosmic proportions. [It is] either the first chapter of a long saga, or an open ended short-story—only time will tell. It is part dystopian sci-fi thriller, part slice-of-life, part political satire. It is about life in a world where the unthinkable has been slowly normalized, and follows adorable little mice struggling to find their purpose and meaning in it.” Take a look at the preview pages over at the web site for Dark Planet Comics.

You’re on the case as the Duck Detective in the debut entry in the cozy and quaint series: The Secret Salami! I’ll be reviewing the iOS mobile app version that just released in April, but the other platform versions are exactly the same, save for the touch controls. There’s a wonderful charm to the style and humor that Duck Detective carries throughout its 2-3 hour runtime, which is buoyed by the personality-filled graphics and voice acting. Developer Happy Broccoli Games has a great thing going with this series, and The Secret Salami was an engaging mystery to solve.

Zoo Jitsu Fighters is a new full-color independent comic series, created by martial arts fans for those who feel the same! “Successfully funded on Kickstarter, this action-packed series plunges readers into a dystopian future where genetically engineered animals are forced to battle in brutal combat. Follow the heroic journey of Tiago the Tiger as he fights for freedom and justice in a world of exploitation and cruelty.” Created by Patrick Wang (a 2nd-degree black belt himself), two issues have been released so far. What’s more, recently Patrick and crew released a new line of tie-in action figures as well!
