FURRIES
A 48-hour virtual build weekend for exploring playful, useful, and surprising furry experiences with AI.
</> OCTOBER 16–18, 2026✦ ALL SKILL LEVELS♡ FURRY-POSITIVE◎ 100% ONLINE
THE IDEA
What becomes possible when furry creativity gets a new set of tools?
Furries have always been good at turning technology into identity, performance, community, and play. This weekend is a chance to explore what comes next.
Use AI where it opens a door: embodiment, accessibility, animation, games, storytelling, convention experiences, tiny studios, or something nobody has named yet.
Come curious. Leave with something you made.BUILD TRACKS
Make something furries will enjoy.
These are prompts, not fences. Follow whichever idea makes you want to open the laptop.
Accessibility is a feature
Low-vision tools, captions, communication support, sensory planning, and con comfort.
Make something playful
Games, NPCs, interactive fiction, companions, toys, and weird little joy machines.
Animate the impossible
Performance, storyboards, animation, machinima, music videos, and new visual workflows.
Convention magic
Meetups, schedules, lore games, scavenger hunts, badges, and personalized experiences.
Tiny studio
Give one person the capabilities that once needed a production team.
What the hell is this?
The delightful category errors that only make sense after someone builds them.
HOW WE BUILD
Curiosity with care.
Experiment boldly. Treat people thoughtfully. Both fit in the same weekend.
Consent
Respect privacy, permission, and character ownership.
Transparency
Be clear about where generative AI is used.
Human creativity
Use tools to expand what people can make, express, and share.
Respect
Don’t impersonate people without permission or use living artists as shortcuts.
Generosity
Share what you learn and help other builders find their way through.

Pseudonyms welcome.
You do not need to use a legal name to take part. Bring the name, handle, or character identity that feels right for you.
You control what you look like and how visible you are: VTubers, AI avatars, masks, fictional characters, and fake names are all welcome.
Share only what you want to share. Your privacy, boundaries, accessibility needs, and comfort matter more than a perfectly filled-in profile.
Everyone’s welcome. Show up as yourself — however you define that.THE MAILING LIST
