Trivia / Lugaru

• Approval of God: Wolfire openly supports fanmade mods of their game.
• Furries Are Easier to Draw: Word of God states that this is half of the reason they designed the game around animals instead of humans: it also helps avoid the Unintentional Uncanny Valley.
• Sequel Gap: Lugaru was released in 2005. Overgrowth was finally released in 2017, having been in development since 2006.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Word of God states that this is the other reason they designed the game around animals instead of humans: to avoid depicting human-on-human violence.
• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Lugaru's plot is definitely an example.
• Vaporware: Lugaru 2 was announced in 2004. Due to college, David Rosen wasn't able to do any serious work on it for the longest time. Now that he's graduated, development on the game, now titled Overgrowth, has resumed. It finally got a 1.0 release in 2017, saving it from this status.
