Trying to advertise my game.

I think we're missing the point, here.
Dude's making a game, and from what i can gather he wanted to share it and ask if anyone here wanted to make any sprites.
Maybe it contains something that can be considered a fetish, that doesn't mean it needs to be sexual at all.
I'd offer to help, but... I cant make anything artistic

If I made a game about bdsm stuff it'd be fetishy no?

The equivalent would be you making something where loads of characters get tied up and/or hurt (but not severely injured, that's a whole 'nother thing ), right?

Blah, i realized how stupid what i said was. I retract my statement.

...Just because it's about fatfurs doesn't mean it's R-Rated.

It's a fetish is it not?

I used the term "fetishistic interest" rather than just "fetish" to avoid implying the creation is inherently sexual.

Honestly, I'd avoid anything with the word "fetish" entirely. That just makes it seem gross and disgusting.

We can call it what we want but at the end of the day there are people on F-List who could be willing to help (don't know that site though so I couldn't be certain)
There's also an r/fatfurs subreddit, which albeit is very quiet might be what you're looking for.
I'm not sure of the concept /format of your game but if it includes fat people then it will come off as fetish'y, and if that isn't your aim you might want to think about reformatting it


Good luck with it though !

0h, didn't know about the subreddit. That does sound like a good place to find help as well.

...though it doesn't really seem like 0P is responding to anything but our particular terminology anyway.

Again, calling it a fetish makes it seem gross and evil. It's a word that's never used in a positive light, and referring to it as a fetish is making that person out to be a horrible human being. Please, with all due respect, don't use that word.

[Malina]

I am aware of that yes, I'm just trying to say that it's how the concept comes off in everyday language and if you don't want that you may wish to change it.

Back on topic, Vosur here makes some pretty good sprites, and some other people here as well. Maybe look around in the art boards ? There's also quite easy ways you can make some yourself if I remember correctly. If they're pixel ones then it's really easy to do in any paint editor. My favourite is Paint.net which is free and pretty simple

Well, there it is.

[Captain Degenerate]

How is fetish always used negatively?


I use it to describe fun stuff .

The Original Post is asking for advice on how to advertise a game. Let's keep the discussion based on that, shall we? The topic is not asking for "what is a fetish?" or "why are fetishes described in a negative light?" since those are to be answered elsewhere in topics more appropriate for those questions.

Well the problem isn't making my own sprites, as I HAVE been making my own. It's just that I want to see people take an interest in my game. I wanted this to be a collaboration like HIJOKE'S Riki's Inflation Game 2 (Not much for inflation, but HIJOKE is one of my favorite fatfur artists because his characters are clean, not too heavily detailed and aren't farting or scarfing their faces with food or enveloping others into their fat) where people can make their own characters for the game, I wanted something along those lines.

So where did you advertise the game?

[BennyJackdaw]

So far, just on FurAffinity.

[MrRazot]

Did you literally just make a thread and leave it there?
Or did you actively try and get people to look t it and participate?

[Ventus Fall]

I think you can post it elsewhere as well, maybe on various game forums.
