From the title I was pretty sure the game would include Lovecraft stuff. Why does my mind even want that?

Message to DEVs: Ok your intro is impressive and this looks like you're putting thought into the plot to be a BIG production. BUT we need to address some things right away.
I played the exe version from start to end. Several things of importance.
1) this flash player does not work except at full screen. No 'Window' allowed or control of sizing. This needs to be corrected asap as many players need windowed screens for privacy if nothing else.
2) The controls don't work right. The only thing that advances the story is the little ">". Return doesn't, spacebar doesn't and you have no ability to "esc" escape the scene to save or anything else. This 'intro' is so long, that's needed right away.
3) The start is 'clumsy'. I had to load the game three times before the ">" worked. The selector on the main menu would highlight "New Game" when the mouse was on "Load Game" Once it got started, at least it progressed well.
4) your battle needs to have its tactics explained before the player starts as the way it is, it seems to have no sense. You choose groups from each side with no knowledge as to which is better. The actual battle happens automatically and you have no idea who or why which side wins. So that could be improved.
Ok after listening to these guys 'blather' about liking / hating the game, I thought you would like some helpful feed back so you can get on with making this game the "hit" I know it deserves to be. Best of luck ….ProfX

I'm tempted to try it but can you please add a screenshot of the main map screen, you know where the nations and troops are shown?
Yeah i am going to have to second this, Flash while it was good for it's time is now being abandoned. Given the nature and size of some of the games this is inspired by and the size of and scale of what the Devs themselves have put out i suspect this games going to be a WiP for a loooooooooooooonnng time by which point Flash will have been consigned to history.

Flash in 2020 is a big no no. Especially since it gets abandoned by Adobe at the end of 2020.

As far as i know, Adobe stops the development and support of flash. The most of the browsers will also stop running the plugin, but I dont see too much problem if the game is standalone as space paws

But why bother to still use a technology that has grown old and there are other options to use instead? From what i heard flash is not THAT good to put that much time into it.
High Tail Hall had to learn that the hard way...

Well to be fair I don't think any software could have turned the erratic devs of HTH into anything good.

I use GameMaker, and I don't imagine changing to renpy, flash or unity. Changing to another engine or code language usually is not that easy, it's tedious to get used.
I have heard the Flash is a good engine for artists. And that makes sense because Taifun have a great artist with them. Crimson Keep is another great game, with another great artist developing in Flash. But I also think that eventually all devs will have to move to another engines.
But well, I don't mind the engine a dev uses if the game is good.
Awesome, Space Paws was fantastic and even better, it was actually COMPLETED! So this is definitely another one to keep an eye on.
Space Paws is the only finished furry game I ever heard of. All others either stalled, were outright abandoned, or called "finished" half done with major part of planned and promised content missing.
Do you know any other actually finished furry game?
Because there is no actual replacement for Flash for simple 2D script controlled animation stuff. Flash is still far superior to Java+HTML5. Flash supports all you need because it was designed just for that. Unfortunately it was implemented by Adobe programmers, so the it has a bug in every source file and a security hole in each code line. It's a bad idea to keep Flash plugin in Browser but it works fine with standalone Flash Projector playing local files.
Unity is bad choice when you don't want to do 3D game.
I really liked the art and music but I hope it's just a demo to show off and intro will be redone in the future. Like come on we 10 minutes into the story and MC is already chad chosen one in power armor banging archmage girl just because she liked him?

Well, I think I'd say the opposite. As much as I like visual novels, most of them just don't go straight to the point and I get bored. I REALLY enjoyed the fact that the action goes fast. To me it was like a roller-coaster of emotions, with all the emotions but boredom, isn't it fantastic? Lol
One thing I'd improve: the battles, I think they were pretty simple, but anyway you don't have your own units to manage in the prologue, so.
On the other hand, please don't judge me (who is going to judge me? We are here for the furries!) I'm bisexual and I have to say both Nulkan and Dynae are both extremely attractive! This time, the devs have worked on a non generic MC, which is very rare to see. In other games either they put all the attention on girls, or they're gay games directly. I lean to girls, but damn, a handsome main character (that moreover, I can be him!) is very welcome! I have to say I am very pleased! And to me he was far from a chad, I don't know why anyone could think that. The MC of Space paws was a bit of a dumbass at first, but with this prologue I already love the character of Nulkan. The scene was beautiful btw, I liked the vibrant colors a lot, and imo it's a big step from space paws. Let's see what they do on the next update, I really want more of Dynae, the way she looked at the camera, awww I'm a little bit in love with her, I admit it.

Agree with rero13, that exactly was my thoughts when I played. Also I must add that MC just buried his son 10 minutes ago before start make move to our dear archmage. The whole story of becoming Emperor also very unconvincing, it's simply have no sense, why MC should just trust unknown person he just met and even a demon, just because she know him well. She don't even explained why Emperor used their help. It's very suspicious don't you think? Maybe this ruler was not so good person as they think. He should have interested them in something, some kind of grim payment. Or demons here are not even evil creatures, but according to they first reaction it's seems the opposite. I think more convincing story would be if this character came, after MC moved to Capital helped to defend it, gathered all people around him and then, he would understood that only him can stop this bad guys. All the people that he saved would also have inspired him.
About fight system, devs said in the description that they inspired by Rance series, well I don't noticed that. I hope it will come in the future, but for now its looks very boring and slow. It don't has any tactic or strategy in it. You just throwing soldiers into enemy squads and watch how hp bar veeeery slowly decreases. There is no skills for units, there is no formations, like was in sengoku Rance. I simply don't know how it will be in the next version, but for now it looks very bad for presentation. I also don't like that we can command only one unit per round. If it remains as it is it will cause situations like you will be unable to attack one unit with all your squads at once to quickly get rid of him, you can't tie into fight enemy melee to go around and attack archers and other tactic decisions. And without formations, meaning two rows one for melee one for ranged it will be even more weird.
Anyway it's early to judge, as for presentation of the game it looks not very convincing for me to say good words about game, but graphic and setting looks very good, I hope they improve and next version will be more polished. Too bad devs don't represent on this forum, in patreon page people barely talking about their impressions of this demo.

at least they finish and improve their product...not like someone who release and then abandon their patreon. i met a lot recently until i stop support them unless i see that they did put their heart into.
