A bunch of adults in my audience, I see :D

He is, yes. At the time the game is set, the concept of passenger ships as we know them today didn't really exist. So, just like he did, if you needed to go somewhere, you just kind of booked yourself on whatever cargo ship would get you there and hope for the best. No scheduled departure or neat desctinations ro pick or anything of that sort.
So yeh, he's the only passenger, and typically doesn't eat with the lower rungs of the crew. Though there are moments where he might due to some circumstance, such as in a section of the upcoming update.

Thank you, not a book I've read I have to say, so I can't really say much about that, but I'm glad that you're having a good time with it! :)

Yep, pretty much since the beginning. Of course, yes, like you said it's more on the rough side, since the process is pretty fluid with new ideas popping up, refinements to the ideas become clearer, or just neat new choices come that would be fun to implement come to mind while writing a scene.
But the big-picture character arcs and themes for the characters have changed very little since the inception.

I prefer a good mystery.

Asked Samuel what he thinks about it. Apparently, "420 blazeit"?

I'm too old for this newfangled slang.

I feel like it would be weird to specifically ask a rabbit for a dish involving rabbit. That must be breaking some kind of species etiquette.

Interesting question that I've mostly ignored really, lmao.
Well, I have used "people" in the text before, I feel like that one is one that is somewhat commonly avoided already among furry writers?

But as for their equivalent of "human" specifically? I'm not sure. I think human could still work given the origin of the term, but I also think the species differences among all the amthropomorphic species would mean that they perhaps focus on a different aspect of what makes them different to regular animals.
Maybe they'd go with "sapiens" and highlight the difference in mental capabilities over their animal counterparts?

Oh, yeah I have. Plenty of the bigger ones TSR, Shelter, Dawn Chorus and so on, some smaller ones mixed in there as well. Probably somewhere between one or two dozen that i've at least dipped my toes in, if not completed.

Biggest Conway inspiration was Dawn Chorus for the overall of feeling of it all. Love the chill vibes of it. Simply people being people and it was such good fun just being around the characters.
Just instead of a School Excursion it's an 18th century merchant ship because why the hell not?

He might not be strong enough for that! Perhaps with a team effort? But I don't know who might get behind such a weird plan.

Not as a sprite or ref or anything. But he is present in a lot of the illustrated scenes, so those are usually the ones I ref myself. Just a time thing really where it doesn't make much sense to prep a sprite or reference unless it's absolutely needed.

Down the line I plan to make a side-by-side chart for the characters, once the main 6 all have their v2 sprites.

Just a regular white domestic cat. Nothing really specific beyond that.
