A determined dog *will* find a way out of a regular fence. Which, if you've kept up with the prices of materials these days, is absolutely not cheap. Even that shit welded wire and t posts is expensive.
The bigger the fenced area, the taller the fence, the more sections, sturdier materials, gates, and add ons like dig guards or rollers, all make that fence more complex and expensive.
It's not easy to install fences in many areas without specialized equipment. It might not even be legal to build a fence that can securely contain the dog. (I have height and material restrictions where I live.)
I think fences are great but lets stop pretending they're the best, easy, or low cost way to contain every dog.
Anyways, chains don't abuse dogs and dogs living outside isn't neglect.

Sketching/concept art of some future dog breeds & NPCs.
Meet the Ranger!
All things relating to hunting/wildlife/trials must be discussed with him during the quest-line.
Outfits/companions vary depending on location/season/events. Some examples:
Tundra region: the Trooper is outfitted with a 6 dog sled team led by Leonidas and Laika. Sled/Campfire/dog behavior triggers events.
Marine region: The trooper seems to get around with a rucksack, Goliath mule, and Bernese Mountain Dog. Wildlife interacting with the local town triggers habitat displacement event.
I'm working on my art style and trying to create character sheets and asset dumps so the process is taking a while, however I think all the facial expressions and weather effects will be worth it :)

Some guy who thinks the AKC breed standard is the end all be all of what an Alaskan Malamute should be: They are not racing dogs! Nobody anywhere should ever race them!
The Polardistans freight class:
Tumblr media
You can see more photos of the 2022 Polardistans race start here. There are many freight teams entered in the race, and there are several other races overseas designed specifically for freighting dogs. Just because it’s not in the US doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Hey Frank, if you could go to any one place in the universe, where would it be?
The world where being a certain kind of geek makes you better than everyone else and there's really nothing you can do about it
