(EDIT: Heh, I see I duped some of the info in the article above. What can I say? I am enthusiastic about what they are doing.)
I've been following this team for a while, and not only do I endorse Lugaru and (when it's finished) Overgrowth as a game furries should play, but even as a game everyone should play (assuming one likes combat, that is). The fighting system is simple to start (hold one button down) but very detailed overall (LOL wall kick). I like the way they did health, as annoying as it can sometimes be to be killed so close to finishing a level. I intend to pre-order at some point.
Some furryasked them point-blank whether they were furries, and the answer was in the negative, that there were practical reasons for using anthropomorphic animals in the game, the basis for which we'd all agree is valid, but that they are sympathetic towards us for the external crap we from time to time are confronted with (trolls, griefers, etc.).

In conclusion, follow their daily blog posts about various aspects of game development, play and buy Lugaru and, if you enjoy the concept and want to see more, learn about and pre-order Overgrowth—you get to play with weekly builds of the custom game engine (which is awesome; go look at the videos).
