Welcome one and all to the newly relaunched Gaming Furever!

Some of you may remember GF! We first launched in 2011 as a place where furries and anthro video game enthusiasts could come together to discuss current happenings, get the latest gaming news for games featuring furries of all sorts, and to host a database of every type of game featuring animal anthros (or games where you play as an animal.) We grew over the next 10 years to host an incredibly talented group of volunteer staff and writers who streamed a bevy of games, published quality editorials and reviews only found on GF, and facilitated many new friendships for visitors to the site and community. 

In the late 2010s, life for me, as the head of the site, was in flux and busier than ever. It became hard to put as much of a focus on GF as it truly deserved, and maintaining the website in a secure manner became too much of a responsibility to keep it going. To top it off, 2020 was what it was for everyone, and it felt like a good time to go on a bit of a hiatus. Important word: hiatus!

Turning the page to 2022, and things started to steady out, in a good way for me IRL. I got a job that has me traveling a lot, but also kept sparking those treasured gaming memories from the times spent with GF members and staff. My wife and I moved to Texas and settled down, and we really bonded over the ability to play games together while apart, and enjoyed discussing and playing those games over voice with friends new and old. Something about those shared experiences over the past two years drove me to start developing Gaming Furever anew.

Now, we’ve arrived here, at a brand new, yet familiar place. We’ve slimmed down what GF was to these four focuses: Furry Game News, Furry Game Archive, Community, and Streaming. We want to be able to stick to weekly schedules that you can come to expect quality content from, while adding in an extra helping of fun on top of a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, we want to be a site with a heart that beats to video gaming and all of its aspects that is accessible to those who consider themselves fully “furry” or those who just want to know what “we” think of games that feature our favorite anthros and animals. We hope to review, stream, and discuss all kinds of games that allow us to discover new ways of portraying furries and anthros and everything in-between! It’s an exciting prospect that we loved delivering on for all those years and can’t wait to do so again.

So! We hope you’ll join us here by registering for an account and getting involved, following us on our social media channels (links at the top and bottom of all pages), and by following our three stream team members for Uncivil Gamers. We will post all of our news articles, weekly furry game archive additions, and upcoming giveaways through streams on our Twitter/X and Facebook pages. If you find a bug or have a concern, please email us at gamingfurever(at)gmail.com

Happy Gaming, and welcome back to Gaming Furever, “A Different Breed of Gamers!”

There's nothing like "A Short Hike!" This could be said about the act and of the game. With a wonderfully vibin' soundtrack and a perfectly compact slice of gaming, A Short Hike was a joy to play through. Take in the entirety of the game with DaxelTheDeer's stream replay, and be sure to follow on Twitch to watch these type of games live!

Fans of raccoons, shiny trash, and grabby paws will surely be interested this upcoming tabletop role-playing game from Wet Ink Games that has already passed its funding goal over on Kickstarter. Check out the details below:

"Garbage & Glory is a tabletop role-playing game about friendship, adventure, and dumpster diving. You play as a raccoon adventurer searching through the alleyways and forgotten lots of human civilization in a constant pursuit for the best trash and the fame it brings. Enter the unseen world of the raccoons and the other animal ruffians who share our urban environment. To human eyes, raccoons are just pawing through the things we want to get rid of. From their point of view, they are discovering the valuable raw materials that make their lives possible and rescuing it from the huge monsters who clearly don't want this great stuff, but paradoxically don't want anyone else to have it either. Join the quest for the greatest Garbage and all the Glory."

We'll keep an eye on the production of this colorful foray into the world of adventuring raccoons.

Sef's Interview with Ed Annunziata, Game Designer of Ecco the Dolphin

In 1993 Genesis owners were given a surprising game that turned heads of Sega fans and critics. That game was Ecco The Dolphin. The game involved the player controlling Ecco as he transverses the ocean trying to locate clues to his missing pod. The game was beautiful and mesmerizing, and the game had a fantastic soundtrack as well. There was one thing that tripped up gamers was the unforgiving difficulty. However, although the game was hard, players continued to go back to the game. This series has a cult following, and to help commemorate the 20’th anniversary of the game I was able to get an interview with the game designer, Ed Annunziata!
