Not going to add the natural follow up to that thought.
Dude I know titties when I see titties, and those are titties. If they spray poison instead of milk, they still titties they just poison titties. Which is kind of scary actually.
On something about the project, the art looks good and the 3-D renders I think are good.

Some people can't be reasoned with. I have had that argument once. Never again.

So didn't I. Both disappointed and amused it isn't
Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard.

Perhaps I was too subtle.
I will just say I agree with you and find the sculpt hilarious.
Sorry, gotta say, in a game of mammals vs. reptiles, there's a fairly big problem with one of the two things that define mammals visually being on their opposing faction, which certainly aren't defined by them.
I mean, if there were a few anthropomorphic animals in a wider setting, that'd be one thing, but I think a redesign might need to be in order when the game theme is around animals.

There are quite a few anthropomorphic animals that are both lizard/reptiles and have breasts. I have to say these discussions bring back some memories of many years ago back in the World of Warcraft days... when people asked, "Why do Naga have breasts?". There was a lot back and forth, some said because they used to be Night Elves before being changed, others because they don't hold milk, so they aren't mammals.
If I agree or not is a different thing entirely but I like playing devil's advocate.
First some history: The word "mammal" is modern, from the scientific name Mammalia coined by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, derived from the Latin mamma ("teat, pap"). All female mammals nurse their young with milk, which is secreted from special glands, the mammary glands.
So what came first, the mammal or the mammary gland? Was mammals named because of the mammary gland or was the mammary gland named because of mammals?
All seriousness aside though... it is a fantasy and furrydom. Breasts, woman shapely figures tends to be because of bipedalism. Artists tend to oversize the characters that have, put them where they don't belong because it is the simplest and instinctive visual cue for male/female humanoid. Obviously since mammals weren't named such until 1758, that just means that anything that was contrary to that became extinct before then. ^_^ Or as said in futurama with the female Crustacean, "They're not breasts! They're eggsacs!". The larger they are the ones closest to giving birth :p
If y'all are blown away by the idea of snake titties you clearly have not seen the subreddit devoted solely to shark tits.
But, being the dirty furry I am, I'll probably give this a quick look. Seems neat and simple in the Hearthstone kind of way, the one that still allows a lot of complexity.

Severance, I'm assuming that the "what came first?" bit was a joke where the tone didn't come across?
Also, "there's precedent for wrong" isn't much of an argument.
I guess my deal is, if this is the cover for a game, seems people aren't talking about much else, like clothes, poses, what's the rules, etc., so it might be something worth changing.
It doesn't bother me either way. The art looks solid and the mechanic of a card fighting game is something I'm interested in. No real interest in furries, but it's not a deterrent.
Suspension of disbelief. I'm fine believing magic. I'm not fine believing gravity or light doesn't work the same, or in this case, animals not being defined by the things that define them.
Fiction does not equate to a free pass to make up anything and expect an audience to buy it.

My post isn't meant to be taken seriously... although my question was somewhat legit, no negative or positive tone meant in it. I actually couldn't find any information that documented about when the mammary gland was determined, as if mammals were named because of the gland or was the mammary gland named because of mammals. I would think that the mammary gland came first, since I would have thought we would have named that part before 1758.
I was being jokingly serious about them not being mammary glands with milk but instead eggsacs... I mean snakes at least 70% of snakes lay eggs.
This is all getting so divisive. What if instead of snake with tits, it was a pair tits with snakes. Ya know like just some big ol' jugs with cobras instead of nipples or something like that?
My lord - this certainly took a left turn Malyss' design is based off of gorgons and naga, because strangely enough there aren't actually snakes with human traits in real life. Also - this is not Mammals vs Reptiles necessarily (although I admit that is largely the case by default) . That said - Pangolin. Musky Rat Kangaroo. There is room for traitors/spies.
Fantasy game world. Anthropomorphic designs (meaning ALL characters have human/mammal traits). If thats not your bag, no harm no foul. For those who dig it, I hope you enjoy the game world and game when it comes out.

Yeah - it's a busy month for Kickstarters and there are lots of big dogs grabbing the attention. The longer campaign hopefully gives potential backers more time to discover (and save) for us. I considered waiting until a different month, but these days it seems like there is always a big company or a big IP to contend with on Kickstarter, so at some point you just have to put a stake down.
Thanks for the interest!

Undead Viking just put up a great video review of Fur vs Scale. If you were interested in the game, give it a look. His closing comments are really wonderful.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
