History Creator / FoxEye

* {{Freeware}}: All of these kind of games are cataloged directly on Fox Eye's website, including the Japanese version of ''Sacrifice Girl'' (which is identical to the English trial version, alternate language notwithstanding).

Owing to its niche, this circle is quite small, as nearly all of the work that is put into Fox Eye's games, such as programming, debugging, character design, stage design, script writing, and sound effects, [[CopiouslyCreditedCreator are all done by Fox himself]]. He tends to hire and collaborate with musicians, voice actors and (sometimes) English translators from other groups and parties to cover the rest of the game's development.

* ''VideoGame/{{Sufferer}}'' (2013) -- {{Retraux}} ActionRPG

** The first ''Sufferer'' game's was intentionally designed to be an 8-bit ActionRPG experience, to the point that Fox made his own chiptune music for the game. The tabs on this game's Japanese and English website are even spot-on recreations of the designs of [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Famicom and NES controllers]], respectively. However, its graphics (Yuna's [[GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed sprites]], in particular) more closely resemble 16-bit graphics of what can be seen in games like ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' and ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''[='=]s UsefulNotes/SuperNintendo games (''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV IV]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV V]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI VI]]'').

** ''Holdover'' looks like a game that one could find on the UsefulNotes/{{MSX}}, or UsefulNotes/PC98 while also resembling a classic ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' game, being a {{Metroidvania}} and all.

** The first ''Sufferer'' game's scale of exploration and 16-bit graphics (Yuna's [[GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed sprites]], in particular) appear to have been inspired by those of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' and ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''[='=]s UsefulNotes/SuperNintendo games (''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV IV]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV V]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI VI]]'').

* {{Crossover}}: Unless otherwise noted (Such as the relationship between ''Karin's Skin Diving Diary!'' and ''Sinking with Kana''), characters from different games are treated as hailing from different worlds and universes, and as such, they normally don't get to interact with each other. So on the occasion that they ''are'' drawn together, it's often treated as this trope. Natica seems to be a favorite to use for this, as she is shown with [[{{Expy}} her closest counterparts]] Rico and Marie [[https://image.ibb.co/bM8PGy/F12276_E2_782_F_4471_A94_F_31_D8_A93514_B5.jpg on one occasion]], and Takahara-san, Yuna, Karin, Mana, and Margaret [[https://i.pximg.net/img-master/img/2018/03/03/00/12/18/67542028_p0_master1200.jpg on another more special occasion]].

** Natica, whose first game appearance is in the event game ''Slide Loop Puzzle'', is considered a mascot for the circle’s Fox Eye ABYSS faction, alongside Karin of ''Whisper of the Sea'' and ''Karin's Skin Diving Diary'', and the titular ''BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret''. As such, any ABYSS game that they star in will put them in HotterAndSexier situations, primarily by allowing them to [[AvertedTrope avert]] NippleAndDimed unlike the rest of Fox Eye’s heroines. Natica is also used the most in artwork that [[{{Crossover}} brings several Fox Eye protagonists together]], including Polon, herself, and is also featured the most in the circle's Fantia blog posts, such as being featured in a couple manga-styled stories. Similarly to Polon, her affinity for diving underwater is shown to be greater than many other characters from the circle, and she currently appears to even outpace Rico as Fox Eye's [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold top blonde mascot]].

** Fox Eye truly goes to great lengths to cover their heroines' naughty bits when they suffer too much clothing damage with either HandOrObjectUnderwear or a SceneryCensor whenever possible, but if no such methods are present, such as during gameplay, their nips are never drawn on their sprites, anyway. However, all of the more adult-oriented "Fox Eye ABYSS" titles, [[AvertedTrope avert]] this trope with a passion ([[NippleAndDimed but only with uncensored breasts]]. Their crotches still always count for this trope).

* VisualInnuendo: One piece of artwork for ''Let's Practice Takahara-san'' features a rather blatant example of this. Let's see: Takahara is [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl completely naked]] (albeit, her nipples are covered by HandOrObjectUnderwear), she's sporting a rather suggestive LuminescentBlush, ''and'' she's sucking on a hose of air. ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything yeah...]]''

** In April 2021, [[MilestoneCelebration the 1st anniversary of Fox Eye's presence on Fantia]], in response to the discontinuation of UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash, Fox announced that all of the circle's games' websites that used Flash will be converted into an [=HTML5=] format so they can be fully-accessible, again. Each website's announcement is commemorated with brand new Fantia artwork of each game's respective protagonists, showing an even deeper look into how Fox's has improved their looks and his drawing skills since their first appearances.

Each website's announcement is commemorated with brand new Fantia artwork of each game's respective protagonists, showing an even deeper look into how Fox's has improved their looks and his drawing skills since their first appearances.

Several of Fox Eye's non-event games can be purchased and downloaded from Website/{{DLsite}} (in [[https://www.dlsite.com/home/circle/profile/=/platform/pc/from/work.maker/maker_id/RG08151.html Japanese]] and [[https://www.dlsite.com/eng/circle/profile/=/maker_id/RG08151.html English]]), while others are instead {{Freeware}} titles that can be downloaded either from the circle's main website or from their own dedicated websites.

* SignatureStyle: As mentioned above, every Fox Eye game has one or more of the designer's many girls ([[VideoGame/AquaCube and in one case]], [[ThatOneGuy a boy]]) explore underwater areas at the high risk of drowning, with an OxygenMeter of some sort to gauge how much time they have left before they drown, with various games giving you different opportunities to temporarily and/or permanently extend the meter's length. This is mainly out of both AuthorAppeal and for inviting in players that have a {{fetish}} for this material, as well. Furthermore, [[TruthInTelevision there is quite a lot of realistic and]] ''[[DarthWiki/NightmareFuel graphic]]'' [[TruthInTelevision effort put into how this circle portrays drowning]], such as having the heroine struggle to cover her mouth and nose, making her swimming look sloppier and/or more frantic, having her face turn blue from lack of oxygen circulation to the brain, and leveling how hard she gasps for air upon reaching the water's surface (assuming she makes it in time), which can range anywhere from exhaling her breath softly to ''painfully coughing up water from her lungs''. Due to the VideoGameCrueltyPotential of these factors, and the {{Ecchi}} content the circle has in general, this has the side-effect of making all of Fox Eye's games appear to be fully-fledged [[HGame H-Games]], and playthroughs of these games are often grouped alongside much more blatantly-explicit H-Games by content creators on Website/YouTube and Website/NicoNicoDouga (in reality, only the circle's "[[HotterAndSexier ABYSS]]" games are intentionally closer to being this way).

** Slightly [[AvertedTrope averted]] in regards to the circle’s [[ThatOneGuy very small amount of young male protagonists and allies]]. The boys are always drawn with nipples when they're topless, and you are more likely to see them drawn with genitalia (albeit covered, [[FemaleGaze rather thinly]], by their swimwear, [[RagingStiffie and becoming more noticeable when they’re turned on]]) than you will see that of a completely naked girl.

Although developing games has been Fox Eye's main forte, the circle has been expanding its output into other mediums, such as releasing artwork on Website/{{Pixiv}}, itself. On April 3, 2020, Fox opened up a fanclub on [[https://fantia.jp/fanclubs/34554 Fantia]] (a Japanese alternative to Patreon), so that fans can further support Fox Eye and gain access to exclusive artwork and {{manga}}-styled stories.

* LighterAndSofter: The ''Blue Port'' games. Yes, the [[SignatureStyle risk of]] [[OxygenMeter drowning]] is ever present (and it's [[DarthWiki/NightmareFuel realistically-graphic]]), but there's no monsters, the girls aren't trapped or severely handicapped, and the games overall feel more like SliceOfLife simulators where the focus is more on the exploration than on the danger (that doesn't stop players from keeping the girls under [[VideogameCrueltyPotential for the lulz]]).

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Considering that ''every single game'' from this developer makes it a [[SignatureStyle trademark]] to put all of its cute and attractive heroines [[OxygenMeter in multiple dangers of drowning]], this trope is ''very'' much a given at anytime. Even then, [[TheManyDeathsOfYou drowning is hardly ever the only thing that can kill them in their games]], nor is it even the most brutal or graphic way for them to die, as what's listed in DarkerAndEdgier above [[BloodyHorror can attest to]].
* VideoGamePerversityPotential: Can apply to every Fox Eye game that lets a heroine suffer from ClothingDamage. You can beat some of them while completely naked, and even get some unique artwork that reflects the girl's complete lack of clothing, though doing so is [[OneHitpointWonder no easy feat]].

* ''Tsuki to Ningyo to Minasoko no Bōken'' / ''Underwater Adventure with a Mermaid of the Moon'' (2012) -- Top-Down AdventureGame

* ClothingDamage: Many of their 2D games, such as ''Mermaid'', ''Holdover'', ''Sufferer'', ''Barely Breakout!'', and ''BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret'' can have this happen to all of their protagonists as a secondary {{Fanservice}} feature, though similar to the ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' series, as they become more and more naked, they'll take more damage-per-hit and overall become much easier to kill. In the case of ''Barely Breakout!'', this is actually invoked to beat most of the rounds and induce [[DefeatByModesty a completely different kind of "death"]] to the game's heroines.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: True to the circle’s devotion to UnderTheSea fantasies, mermaid characters show up from time to time. Some of Fox Eye’s human characters (such as Natica and Sandy in ''Underwater Rescue'') like to dress up as mermaids, while actual mermaids (such as Medina, the titular ''Mermaid of the Moon'', [[spoiler:and Rittie, the titular ''Whisper of the Sea'']]) wield mystical powers, such as increasing how long a human can [[OxygenMeter hold their breath underwater]].
* OxygenMeter: The cornerstone of the SignatureStyle for single every game made by this doujin developer, represented by either a shrinking air bubble or a decreasing bar. Each game has it behave differently, such as having it completely separate from a LifeMeter[[note]]''Holdover'', ''The Final Escape'', ''BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret''[[/note]], to draining health after the Oxygen Meter runs out[[note]]''Water Leaves'', ''Mermaid'', ''Sufferer''[[/note]], to basing the Oxygen Meter's {{Cap}} on how much health is left[[note]]''Hades Vanquish''[[/note]], to making it into the game's TimedMission[[note]]''Aqua Cube''[='=]s captured and submerged sibling, ''Barely Breakout![='=]s'' Rescue Puzzles, rescuing an anchored Sandy in ''Underwater Rescue''[[/note]], to having the Oxygen Meter also represent the character's LifeMeter, which means, depending on the game, drowning may be the ''only'' way they can die at all[[note]]''Sacrifice Girl'', the ''Blue Port'' series, ''Let's Practice, Takahara-san!'', ''At Night in a Party'', ''Karin's Skin Diving Diary!'', ''NATICA STAR SPLASH''[[/note]]. To play up the AuthorAppeal regarding this mechanic further, most of Fox Eye's games also give their characters verbal and/or vocal cues when they're running out of air, and this is occasionally the only way to know that the character is even drowning at all if the game actually has no visible meter. Some of these same games also have ways to improve how long their protagonists can hold their breath, such as a one-use oxygen recovery item or a permanent oxygen powerup. This mechanic is used somewhat more realistically in these games than in others, as while a character is submerged, their oxygen will drop faster the more they move around, and decrease at a slower pace if they stay still while underwater.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: For Fox Eye's DoujinSoft protagonists and allies, Ai from ''Blue Port'', Cassis from ''Water Leaves'', Miyo from ''Sacrifice Girl'', and the titular ''Mermaid'' Medina all have different shades of blue hair. There are other unusual hair colors from this developer, such as pink[[labelnote:*]]the titular ''Polon'', Moka of ''Blue Port'', Asami of ''Barely Breakout!'', and Rimini of ''Karin's Skin Diving Diary!''[[/labelnote]] and green[[labelnote:*]]Momoka of ''Barely Breakout!''[[/labelnote]]. However, this also gets [[AvertedTrope averted]] as there's still a very healthy showing of natural colors such as brown[[labelnote:*]]Yuu of ''Aqua Cube'', and Yuna of the ''Sufferer'' series[[/labelnote]], dark brunette to black[[labelnote:*]]Honomi, Chie, and Kokono of ''Blue Port J'', Takahara-san of ''Let's Practice, Takahara-san!'', Karin of ''At Night in a Party'' and ''Karin's Skin Diving Diary!'', and the titular Kana of ''In the Aquarium: Sinking With Kana''[[/labelnote]], reddish-brown[[labelnote:*]]Aya of ''Aqua Cube''[[/labelnote]], and ''[[AuthorAppeal especially]]'' [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde]][[labelnote:*]]Rico of ''Blue Port'', Marie of ''Holdover'', Lorile of ''Water Leaves'', Alice of ''Barely Breakout!'', Erika of ''Mermaid'', Mana and Yurina of ''Hades Vanquish'', the titular ''BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret'', and the titular Natica and Sandy of ''Underwater Rescue''[[/labelnote]].

* UnexplainedRecovery: Tends to be [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. A major factor of Fox Eye’s AuthorAppeal is how often its heroines are portrayed drowning in some sort of underwater peril as the circle's primary source of {{Fanservice}}. Mainly outside of the games, such perils tend to be drawn as hypothetical artwork, as the girl is usually shown to be alive and well by the next artwork she’s put in. However, at times, this may get {{Handwave}}d as having the heroine go through an expensive medical treatment to get revived from her drowning, or having the girl summon a HeroicSecondWind that helps her immediately spring towards the surface even after, or right before, losing conciousness. So even if they ''are'' drowned, they're never usually KilledOffForReal [[RealityEnsues unless the plot calls for it]].
