Hunt and Snare is a Furry Third Person Shooter with a strong focus on sexual themes and character interaction. Travel between islands on a ship with your trusted ship crew, hunt rare species with a tranquilizer rifle or capture with bare paws,and sell to the highest bidder after rigorous sampling of the prey. Will your crew grow to love you as an equal ship commander, or will they idolize you as a renowned hunter?

* Hunt for rare and unique species of all genders and races: Using your trusty tranquilizer long rifle (Coming very soon!), or go feral and capture with your bare paws!
* Fully customize your character: Select from general body shape, including species, breasts, genitalia, and tail, down to the color and pattern of your skin and pupil style.
* Sexplore a juicy selection of fetishes and gender combinations: From M/F, M/M, F/F, Futa/M, Futa/F, to * Futa/Futa all covered with Classic, Anal, Blowjob, Pawjob, Pawing, Submissive/Domination, Toys, Solo, and Milking (your ship needs natural fuel, doesn’t it?).
* Fully filterable acts and prey: Customize your selection by enabling or disabling any type of act in the game as well as disabling specific types of prey.
* Showroom: Select from a large selection of various positions you have discovered or play out full acts in various locations and environments.

Features Under Development
* World of Skir: Discover and hunt on Skiia, the northern island named after the sibling of the great god-dragon Skir, visit the magnificent island state of Harakeen, the jewel of Skir, explore the wild and dangerous wilds of Kizan.
* Opinion based conversation system: Gain favors by interacting with other characters frequently. Be loved, be hated, be admired, or be feared!
* Customizable tranquilizer long rifle: Personalize and upgrade your rifle to not only hunt more difficult prey, but to do it in style.
* Sailing and ship customization: Customize and decorate your own ship and sail freely with no artificial barriers or level gates, between islands in search for better hunting grounds. Unlock new rooms for your ship with money for new encounters and other features.
* Trading and inventory: Sell prey for money and then purchase new accessories, clothes, and other customization pieces, or explore, and discover unique hidden items
* More unique species: In addition to the fairly tame catkin of Faelain, the loyal dogkin of Davh, the wild and dangerous dragonkin of Kizan, and the cute and cuddly foxkin of Ful are still in development each with their own different skin styles and color combinations.

Feedback is more than welcome! ^^

body physics that don't have clipping? Wow you rarely see that in 3d games.

Thank you! And yeaaah... well, it's all about paying attention to dynamic body parts and static bone driven ones when animating x) I know a lot of animators animate game characters separately and then try to match them together in-game, but I built our animation setup/system ground up to so that we can animate two or more characters exactly at the same time and in same timeline too ^^

 

[bearcore]

Great animations and models! Looks fantastic!
Good luck with the development

1) Will we be able to play as a female?
2) What kind of fetishes and pairings will it have? Judging from the pics M/F vanilla sex looks guanrateed but will there be anything else?

1) Eventually yes, but currently the MC is a male. It's not difficult to do, but I don't want to add "unknown variables" yet as they might end up being a lot of work to upkeep when core is still being worked on Someone elsewhere asked for option to play different species too. Both gender and species are on a list of things I'd love to add. Female and Male option will definitely be there though!

2) Currently there is just the basic acts/fetishes/pairings, aka F/M with classic sex, anal, blowjobs. What will be added for sure is M/M, F/F, and Futa F/M/F, submissive (either player or other actor), Monster girl/boy (though, they'll still be more furrified to fit the style), and toys/solo acts. We'll possibly add milking, sex machines, and tentacles (as environment hazard) in the future, but can't promise anything on those as of yet ^^ I mean, whatever players want, we'll add, as long as it doesn't conflict with the game, and doesn't have gore/scat/piss

Will there be any m/m content in the game eventually?

Definitely. Likely to be the case very soon too ^^

At least on the free version, weird things are currently happening if you swap the sexes of the two characters.

Ooooo, you mean if you make the Character 1 female and Character 2 male? Oooops, that is something we haven't actually tested ^^' Thanks for the report!

 

[Marblak]

Your game looks fantastic so far. One question though: Will all character's faces look.... humanish? Or will you be adding the option for more "Furry-like" faces with muzzles and beaks and whatnot? Ok that was two questions lol.

Thank you very much! Yeah, they're MOST likely going to look humanish, but... I'm not 100% sure yet, because I would love to offer option to pick between the two x)

 

[Taboo-Sho]

I take it F/F content is planned?

Yes, definitely ^^

 

[Anomolousrabbit]

Is there an option for the player character to be a human?

 

[Ruffleneck]

Is there an option for the player character to be a human?

Not at the moment. Under consideration though, as there seems to be quite a bit of interest in it ^^

Aye, would like to see it more Anthro/Furry like too or at least changes to the ones that are actually in.

Because I think, they don´t fit at the moment the overall design and lack the artistic style.

Anything planned for the future about that?

Infact, just a week ago or so we commissioned a new, proper, furry base head (a low polygon mesh that I can then adjust, sculpt, and texture) from Miziful ( https://www.patreon.com/Miziful ). I have no definite time estimate on when it is ready for game, but it should be coming in the next few months ^^

Once I'm further along with the new heads, I'll definitely post them here for critique! ^^

[Karanthos]

Huhu again!

I saw some pictures of *foot/pawplay* and wanted to ask, if they will come to the public release? ;D

kara-nyan!

 

[Ruffleneck]

Hello!

Eventually yeah. Currently there are just couple of Pawing acts in the Patreon build, but when more gets added, I'll mix animations into public build too ^^

How much RAM does this require? Every time I try to start it, it crashes.

You need to type in your entire spec, not just RAM. RAM alone means nothing if you don't have a decent graphic card and processor to go along with it.

Yeah, as IvoryOwl said, you need to report at least your GPU, processor, and operating system ^^

That said, does it crash on lowest settings too? Does it crash instantly, or does it load to the launcher, or does it load up as far as the main menu?

New release!

Current version: R3 V8, June 17th (for Windows, Linux, and Mac)
Public build: https://www.patreon.com/posts/11788909
Patreon build: https://www.patreon.com/posts/11788826

Sneaking miniguide: https://www.patreon.com/posts/11788973

Key features:
* ISLAND DEMO expanded to Public build (first area)
* STAGE 1 of Hunting - Stealth - Press CTRL to toggle sneaking. Wild characters will run away in fear if player makes too much noise (no actual sound cues tho, just movement speeds and locations) OR is seen by a wild character. Sneaking upon a character and holding E will “tame them” as a temporary capturing mechanic. Friendly characters wear a collar.
* New animations (2 patreon, 3 public)
* Improved lighting and color grading (quite strongly inspired by Skyrim)
* Improved act location randomization (to prevent duplicates when possible)
(Full change log behind build download links)

Enjoy! :3

 

[Dogpool]

I hope there will be more hardcore fetishes in the game. Rougher fucking, BDSM, deepthroating, spanking, slapping, bestiality, giant dicks, rape, male dom, fem dom, etc. Everything available in demo are pretty tame.

Also, will the animations ever become full acts instead of just a fuck loop? Full acts with gushing cum, vaginal liquids, drool, tears, smudged makeup (do they even wear makeup?)
