Great original species design and no fur or tail for once! Several of my favorites have things in common but that doesn't make them copies or any less fun. Looking forward to updates!

@Wakazu For the furniture stuff, they're not inspired by anything. Mine has rounded corners on everything, black foundations under almost every furniture (with two lights sometimes) and lines that look like mouths with lil teeth on them. In contrast with this rounded design, their weapons are all pointy and edgy with serrations on them.

Sorry for the long text, but I hope that you can give it a chance after that.

@Wakazu No... Only you said that I "stole" so far, and I've even credited the mod on the description. Aegonian himself saw my sprites some ages ago, and he said it's fine as long as im not copying, which I'm not. I've also had cool spriters like neb to help me with that too, as it was one of my concerns. There's nothing copy-pasted on it. As for the first thing, all sprites were made from scratch, if you see any similarities that's fine because there isn't many ways to sprite digitigrade or plantigrade legs without looking like something else. Protolop also have pointy eyes, solid domes on their heads and even hooves, which afaik the akkimari does not, so apart from the legs there's nothing that looks alike.

Well, if a total stranger is able to tell on a first glance, where did you stole those sprites from, that kinda tells, no? The backstory may be whatever, but the sprites are very clearly akkimari and aegi for furniture and stuff. Not even changed all that much to be unrecognisable,

@Lemon Drops Hey, thanks!

@Omeruin Thanks for that.

@Wakazu Sorry, but they do not have any similarities to the akkimari whatsoever. They did inspire me, and so did many other THEA races, but they're not even remotely similar.
Mine are ungulate, dinosaur-inspired amphibian-like aliens, whereas the akkimari are cool mammal-like spiders.
The akkimari have a mission, and they're also wild and "savage", using scrapped stuff as materials. Mine are biology oriented creatures with a war-torn homeworld, with a quick speech pattern and neat/clean aesthetics.
Hope that clears it out, but if you have any questions please lemme know.

@Wakazu
Unnecessary comment. There can be a difference between "ripping-off" and being inspired by something. Please read the last line from this mod's very own description.

...and now we have a discounted akkimari ripoff. Not that SB Workshop wan't full of mods ripping off of each other already...

The falling animation looks like a downwards kick, it makes these guys look like they actually know what they are doing. (I like this mod)
