Canistaria is a virtual realm of our own creation, still in the early pawcess of forming.
When it is ready, you will be able to join your friends in the persistent multiplayer world!
This page showcases our work over the past six months -- our initial models and designs of the furst playable environment.
Our medium of choice is Unreal Engine, which provides a wide array of features and optimizations crucial for our mission.
While our target audience is queer therians, any adult players are welcome to join!
✶𓃥 Features of CANISTARIA 𓃦✶
FEATURES TRACKER
Though we have great ambitions for numerous features, we are well aware of the dangers of feature creep.
Our primary focus is on pawviding a stable & optimized foundation that will serve as a fun social experience for players!
Currently, many assets are placeholders, most notably all the (non-statue) animals which were produced by Malbers Animations or other artists on the Fab Store.
When starting this pawject over six months ago, I was very skeptical as to if it might be really doable... But thanks to the magic of Unreal (and the abundance of available plugins), most of the major technical hurdles are already solved, and implementing new features is relatively straightforward!
