Race Nekos (cat people) as a playable race

Even though you didn't make those pictures, they're still adorable and made me agree with this right away.

 

I'd much rather have the catpeople have an actual cat head for the face rather than some (frankly unappealing) cartoon human face with superficial cat features.

edit: No offense meant to the original artist but I feel that characters like that are not right for Starbound or any other game really.

As a sidenote: Bethesda can hardly sue over the concept of cat-people, because older games such as Lands of Lore and Wing Commander had catpeople as well. Bethesda came up with the name Khajiit as well as a culture for them, but suing over that would be as stupid as suing over the concept of talking dragons.

 

It would be kind of redundant, but that would make more people happy than one or the other. It also might create a greater color pallet, if say one didn't want the cat ear hair to match the primary hair. Then that is amusing the vanity item would eclipse the natural ears.

 

It must be added..

 

YEAH!

 

I always support cat girls.
Always.

 

I really hope they add this and thanks everyone for your support

 

I actually wouldn't mind this, like.. its the future right? Didnt they invent something like a machine that mixed Animal's and Human's, atleast I hope this made this, or it could end up to a thread of: How the Fayulk were Neko's (Animal People) Mayde?

=EDIT= Also, I thought Neko's were Animal People, am I wrong?

 

Oh god... why...

 

ALWAYS.

 

ALWAYSYOU MEAN.... ALWAYS?!!

 

Also you could name them Acinovexx (Ah-see-no-vex)

Derived from the word Acinonyx and Vexx.
An Acinonyx is a kind of big cat.
And Vexx was a Gamecube game where you played as a cat dude.

 

To go with the starbound races, one would need an intelligent backstory and a coherent design.
As I said before, animal heads > human heads with animal ears. Otherwise they are too similar, especially on a pixel level. A typical anime catgirl/boy is going to get confused with a human who has cat ears. What's the point?

 

Are you referring to my sprite?
I tried my hardest to make it look like a cat head, I just realized I forgot the tail tho

 

Here we go, Acinovexx v2.

 

I remember that game. It was funny to beat that fat guy twice

 

Thank you! I will definitely use this and i like your name suggestion

 

Thanks
