I can see one person doing a furry animated series. It would be very challenging depending on the complexity of the project (i.e. is it voiced?)

A furry video game in 3d, on the other hand, is something I can't see being something as a solo project unless it's a simple flash programmed game (i.e. Itoril projects). It's undoubtedly something a whole team of people would have to work on together or else the workload is just plain excessive and would make it something that falls apart after a while or something that takes years to complete.

If you personally haven't done an animated series, I'd say stick to that as it's easier. If you don't consider it a challenge in the slightest, then work up to a full blown video game.

Don't get me wrong, a 3D furry video game would be amazing, but is it a practical work load?

I know of at least 1 furry movie that a guy made by himself. Can't remember the name, but I think it was a 45 minute DVD.

And back in the day (Ugh - I sound so old...), some of the best games were made by those that had teams of about 5 or 6 people. But there was always a 1 or 2 main drivers behind them, so it was quite possible to make games on their own.

Of course, nowadays, everything has to be difficult. Teams are as big as 200+ people, and games/animations can take years for whatever reason. I know there are still single person indies out there making their own thing, but they are kind far and few in between.

I dunno if you would count it, but Kaze: Ghost Warrior by Timothy Albee (though that's only 15 min long)

Yep, that's the one I was talking about. Just happened to forget the name was all. Thanks.

I agree on the "more then one person" aspect of a game and the cost, at minimum, triples when you're talking about making an indie game over the cost of a one man animation series.

As far as a time frame goes on a game, I would expect it to take, at a minimum, two years to get something you could show people. Depending on the type of game produced it could easily take three years to get to a point where it's moderately playable and more perfecting it.

This poll is primarily to get an idea of what the fandom is willing to do over what the artist/ programmers are willing to do it for. The info is not just for me, but a few other people I know who have considered a similar idea.

Development time all depends on how complex the project is, and how much time per week you have to develop it.
Most Fighting games, and platformers don't take too long to produce a prototype. Working with 3D in games can be troublesome as I have come to fiind out. If you do, best to use Rendered sprites made from 3D models. That way the programmer has less to worry about.
Then again, The only 3D engine I have worked with is the Unreal Engine, and only cosmetic changes and level design at that.

I'd totally be willing to help out with anything if you ever needed some help.

I have a notion that's where you might run into problems of limited funding since many furries and anthrofans have different ideas on what they'd want to see produced and what they're willing to shell out money for. There's already been an attempt at a furry MMORPG called Eternal Earth though it could easily be improved upon. There's already been many furry animations out there but if you can show a good outline for your project and definite proof of progress I could see continued funding as a possibility. Perhaps you could talk with the creator of "Kaze, Ghost Warrior" about the trials and tribulations of making an animation if you want to go that route.
