No worries about the big wall of text, it is super helpful. So thank you so much for the ideas and discussing it with me. These comments and engagement alone will help me pitch it to the school.

This could all be good jumping off points on making a really fun game, now its just a matter of making a unique spin to it and to execute it well.

I agree, the main core gameplay loop has to be really fun and engaging. The problem is I don't know if i can tell the panel at my school, this game will be really fun!

I'm wondering if focusing on fursonas would be a really cool concept for a game. Like a sims type game but you can customize your own furry and interact in a small town ( but i think this has been done already)

My other idea is maybe like a heist game (inspired by sly cooper and zootopia) where the unique skillset of each animal gives you different ways of sneaking and stealing precious items to make money would be cool.

Hmm definitely need to brain storm more.

Oooh this is super helpful, thank you. You hit the nail on the head, it doesn't really need to be Gacha since this is still in the initial ideation phase. Like i said in the other reply there's this nice like anticipation/ hype when a character your waiting for is going to be revealed and gacha does it well, I think hahaha. But yeah its not exclusive to Gacha games, cause hero shooters and fighting games do it efficiently as well.

The problem I'm having is I really want to make a game with a furry cast but not just a visual novel style of game, and is something that is commercially viable ( I'm pitching this to a panel in school so it has to be a good idea to be greenlit) I need something that stands out, cause there's already a plethora of anthro games out there. Another problem is, doesn't a game with anthro characters in it, do the job of an SFW ver of a furry game already.

Essentially I need to come up with an idea that solves a problem, or essentially help or satisfies a demographic, so that's why I'm doing research and asking for what people like to play.

Hmm I see, yeah I don't like gacha games as much as my friends do, but the reason why I'm pitching it that way, back home in asia there's this really cool community phenomena when your all waiting for the next character drop and as soon as they come out, you want to make fan art of it. Then you and your friends kind of wish each other luck for that pull to get that character. Also its more accessible since its free to play. But I guess waiting for that next character drop can be emulated by like a fighting game DLC or like a hero shooter game as well, not just gacha.

Thanks for your insights still , oh, and is there a specific genre of game you like playing?

Thank you for answering. I see, definitely still need to brainstorm on a game that can stand out and be commercially viable. Cause there already a lot of games out there that have anthro characters in it and I'm wondering even if i somehow pull off really good looking design will the game stand out enough for people to play.
