Only Consentual?

[TigerInuzuka]

"The developers describe the content like this: ... This game does NOT contain non-consensual or violent content..."

Hmm.
For some reason I thought hunting down people with a tranquilizer dart would be noncon. Why do I need to dart them if they want it?

They're feral, for some reason. When you capture them you then cure them and the sex they have with you is agreed.

They're not people, they're Wild Born.

Societal loopholes are fun!

The above replies are correct, but this will hopefully become more obvious in game as development continues. The gunplay and capturing of wild prey in the game is by far the least fully implemented aspect of the game and the player has little information yet (aside from conversations hinting at the ailment/cure). I encourage you to look over our Trello[trello.com] to see the direction of the game to come, but note that none of it is final and is subject to change.

Will there be BDSM elements such as collaring, leashing, public humiliation, mind *ucks, Breath Play, R.A.C.K. etc.

When you capture a Wild Bred, you slap a collar around their neck. :)

You might want to rename your game to something that describes it better. "Hunt and Snare" doesn't really describe the game very well because shooting someone with a tranq dart to cure them of an illness is only a small part of the game. Even "Hunt and Cure" would be a better name. "Skiir Islands"? "Yiff Doctor"? lol

"Yiff Doctor" sounds like a character from a bad porno flick!

Also, why would you call someone "prey" if you're just trying to cure them? Just...odd use of words here. I mean, I suppose "prey" can be used to generally mean someone who is being searched for, but you don't usually say "I'm searching for a mate and they're my prey!" lol

I assume the intention was to go for a tongue-in-cheek "I'm the predator, you're my prey, and when I catch you we'll yiff!" thing, which is an actual game that I've seen played at furmeets/cons before. Not to try to stop you from trying to redefine words in a positive light that normally mean something negative, but...whatever. X3

The Yiff Doctor has a love injection to give you! <3

Hunt and Snare because you'll be hunting and snaring in it, and player will belong to a Guild of Wild Hunters, who especially hunt the wild ones, and then cure them ^^

Prey because they're wild, until cured, so prey is the most fitting name for them when you're going out to hunt something ^^

Yiff Doctor, while contextually fairly correct, would be a ridiculous name, and I don't think a ridiculous game fits to any game, except AaAaAA!!! A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. If you want to go serious, you don't slap a joke name on a game x)

Hunting term is also used, well, I guess tongue in the cheek, in context of "hunting for love" for example, but in Hunt and Snare the hunt is hunting, and snaring is using snares (or rather, lures, but Hunt and Lure wasn't very good as a name!) ^^

Use of words like "Predator" and "Prey" is rather common among the furry community, actually.

It's typically used to denote carnivorous species from herbivores (like they did in Zootopia), but it can also designate who's dominant and submissive in the relationship.

You already understand that there is a perception problem with your game and obviously much of this comes from the name, otherwise you wouldn't have to clarify that in your game's description:

"Hunt and Snare is ... the approach to sex, sexual themes, and love is very warm-hearted, open, and passionate."

Just trying to help, but I don't have any ideas for a better name at the moment.

I'm aware of the way some animals choose to use the term. Yes, "prey" can mean someone you "hunt", and "hunt" can mean someone you're searching for, so they don't have to be negative terms, but I think they are usually taken negative currently. If you want to have that word definition fight so be it, but as of now I think those terms still have a widely accepted negative meaning, and my intention was to address the game's potentially negative perception due to those terms.

Just something to think about! ^n.n^

It's kind of a shame, the game looked interesting, sorta like a furry Mount and Blade, but the fact it's a rape and slavery simulator put me off it. Less hunting, violating and enslaving and more hiring your servants would be better.

Large parts of the hunting -> capturing -> sexing gameplay is work in progress and the way it's handled now is largely a temporary setup ^^

The way it will work is that you will effectively shoot them with a "medicine" that will cure them, then your ship crew will gather up what you've "tagged", and you recruit who you want to your ship's crew, and the rest are turned into the Guild and you get paid for them. The crew of the ship and various NPCs (like dock clerk), are what you engage in sex with.

The big reason for the way it is currently is because we are making a sex game, and we've been working on Hunt and Snare publicly since March 2017, and we need to offer sex, early on and always, otherwise people won't play a sex game, so as we go along, we add more context, more options, and more to the lore ^^
