It has been 11 years since I wrote Backyard Brawls. I fully don't expect anyone that reads this to remember or ever have known about it. It was an old game that I made because I wanted to make a statement about the stupidity that I was hearing from the "R" party where they were saying guns and violence was "America" but would use sex and love as reasons to hate on "liberals". It struck me as easily boiled down to Violence good and sex bad.I wanted to make something good out of something bad. I thought, "who knows maybe someone will like it and I will get to make more of them."

The game was based in a yiffing ring and had two players playing/controlling two "fighters" in a battle till your opponent was knocked out. There were two ways of doing this - beat them up or make them Orgasm. The game had been based on a combination of Wrestling (Pro-Wrasln), martial arts and sex antics. Each "fighter" was a unique personality and they had intertwined back stories and moves. The players also could make up additional moves on the spot as part of the game. The backgrounds were meant to make the making up of moves and smack talk between players fun. Thus the game had strategy, luck and a bit of role-playing.

The idea was if I could sell enough of my "project" then I could make more games like that easily enough. The funny thing was it was not really likely to happen. It was stupid that I had even tried. But I did. I attempted to sell some copies of the game and sold a few of them. And in the end I did not make enough to cover the cost of the commissioned artist that did art for the game.

Busted.

I had failed to make enough to even cover expenses. And I realized that this too was a dead end in Furry fandom. Maybe others could do it but I was not going to get to go far if I was losing money on every project. I was never wealthy and this was not a plan to improve my economic position.

That is not to say no one ever noticed it. Something Awful saw parts of the game on my webpage at the time and ignored what the game was protesting and was declaiging it a game about pedifilia and furres...ohhh ick. (so much for reading comprehension). But there have been a couple of furs that liked the idea of Furry Fighting and Sex. But neither the publicity that either group made ever made it so that I made any money from it

So now 11 years later, I can only look back on it and wonder what the heck I was thinking to have even tried it. At least someone in my shouts remembered it. And one of the Characters, Lydia the Lioness, I was able to get in a Yiffy Card Game. So they are not totally gone just mostly not remembered.

Here is the list of them:

Sharp - Fox - Pretty Boy - Gay
Kole - Fox - Potopatzi - Bi
Gillian - Stallion - Magician - Gay
Mia - Female Seal - Preacher - Bi
Missy - Female Jaguaronai - Texas Girl - Lesbian
Talon - Male Tiger - Pompous Jerk - Straight
Tily - Female Ferret - Contortionist - Bi
Loche - Male Squirrel - Mensa Nerd - Straight
Winslow - Male Otter - Super Fan - Bi
Harold - Deer Buck - "Gothic" Prince - Gay
Nakio - Female Gazelle - Innocent Feminist - Straight
Kelly - Female Tabby - Amazon - Lesbian
Pyra - Female Phoenix - Love Struck Girl - Straight
Justin - Male Eagle - Patriotic US Guy - Straight
Natasha - Female Lynx - Schoolgirl - Straight
Jill - Female Rabbit - Quiet Psycho - Straight
Micar - Male Raccoon - Nice Guy - bi
Steel - Male Raccoon - Richboy Suffer - Straight
Maximilian - Male lion - Stalker - Straight
Lydia - Lioness - Huntress - Bi
Kia - Vixen - Cheerleader - Bi
Flora - Female Skunk - Southern Bell - Bi
Anton - Male Panther - Football Jock - Straight
Serinity - Female Ferric - Country Girl - Bi

There they are some quick notes for no reason:
* Anton is a slight alteration on one of my Fursonas and the two girlfriends were slight alterations characters that I had done for my first web page.
*Lydia (Lydia Sekmet) is the most drawn of the lot and she was first drawn and developed as the heroine of a story that goes back to when I first found the fandom. She was in the ad for Furoticon.
*The second edition was going to be a pack of two storylines with characters - Wolf Pack Invasion and the Feline Returns. Wolf Pack was to bring in a couple of bears, two panda, lots of dogs, wolves, huskies, a Folf and a greater focus on Tag teams. The story line is that the canines as the New Canine Order (NCO) come in and take over (ala NWO in the 1990's) and Maximilian and Anton both "disappear" as they were the first victims of the NWO styled take over. The Feline Returns, introduces a new lion and lioness, cheetah, tigress and some other characters with rules for props and more special matches. The story line with these characters is when the new lion, Arthur, comes in and leads the original furs back so that they can fight back against the NCO. He takes the place of Anton with Flora and Kia until Lydia takes him and her younger sister and finally makes a "pride of her own".
