Patreon (and the credit card companies) are so dumb for throwing all the cash they could make into the toilet.
While I wish it wasn't so, I can understand why they do it. Bestiality being illegal in a lot of places they don't want to be the ones enabling the spread of it. A quick search only got me stats on legality of bestiality, sales and distribution of zoophilic pornography, and ownership of zoophilic pornography, that all relating to real humans and animals. I don't even know if the law has anything about the kind of pornographic content we're talking about here: a game. I did only do a quick search, sure, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the law doesn't have anything explicitly about digitally made pornography.
Maybe he comes back. I never figured out why he was suddenly gone. Oh well, next are the lizardmen, after that some rhino species and then people can decide what comes next iirc.
I'm not aware of a statement from the Wild Life time of a reason of his removal either. But I do know that if you customize the lion dude, Kral I think his name is, you can make him look pretty much identical. The only thing still missing is some poses that were exclusive to the panther. Or at least I remember some that I haven't seen since. Could be wrong. It's been a long time since playing those early builds.
I'm excited for the introduction of the lizardmen, though. After the announcement of that on Patreon I started checking the Picarto streams some more to check it out. Now I wish I didn't and left it all as a surprise. But I'm sure it'll still be better to see it for myself in the game.
I wasn't aware that they were going to add rhinos. Not that I closely follow this game's development, but still. Haven't heard it before now. Will those be normal rhinos that will act as wildlife like the hyenas now, or a new anthropomorphic species to have fun with?
