Before we talk about this game, we must talk about the company behind it first.
“Sulistas Games” is a startup company run by two people, held on São Paulo, Brazil. One of them is an active member of the furry fandom. Bringing their background expertise in games, which includes Ubisoft, they are thriving to raise their startup company, and they have just released their first game: Jules Unboxing the World.
Released yesterday (Aug 12, 2010) on iTunes Store, the game is about Jules, a charismatic red-blue creature with long ears and tail, who one morning discovered that all people in the world were boxed! And now is up to him to release them, rolling and opening all boxes. But be careful! Some enemies will try to catch you, and of course, box you.
Fauna Urbana had access to the Beta version, kindly provided by Ikiepu (the furry behind it). As we tested, we fell in love with the gameplay and art.
With gorgeous handmade graphics, excellent music and making use of the iPad’s accelerometer, this game gave us a lot of entertainment and it was an excellent way spend time. As you see on the video bellow, we tested during a subway trip; some passengers got curious, of course.
This game is made for iPad, and you can play 30 levels + 3 endless challenges just for $4.99. Buying the game will not give you just fun, but will support this new startup and show to the world what our fandom has at it best!
Congratulations Sulistas Games, and we already bought our copy! :)

Fauna Urbana completed 7 months of existence, celebrating the extreme success of the portal and the acceptance of all the Brazilian furry fandom.
With more then 15,500 authentic unique visitors, generating 43 thousand hits on our servers and 900 comments on articles; the portal is experiencing a quick growth, much more then the owners imagined.
On this 6 months (late) anniversary, Fauna Urbana became relevant for all the external media (TV and journal) on Brazil, and more then this, became relevant to all the Brazilian furries.
The main goal of Fauna Urbana remains: Provide relevant and reliable information to all furries and non-furries and give a place to all furries get in touch and publish what they know.
Thank you all furries and partners like Flayrah to helping this anniversary been possible!
For the first time in 10 years, all the Brazilian furry fandom will earn a fresh and high quality place to host their furry related blogs and podcasts, totally in portuguese.
Fauna Urbana announced yesterday a new service that plans to gather all the Brazilian furry material now spread throughout the web, such podcasts, comics, chronicles and blogs. Everybody could have more then one collaborator, making this idea more social and fun!
With the same login, all users could comment on their friend’s blogs and on Fauna Urbana’s articles. Eventually, Fauna Urbana will pick interesting posts to put on the spotlight on their home page.
The service will start this Sunday, 25th with two blogs (and two more coming). All creations will be on the same domain “faunaurbana.com.br”:
“Why split? Let’s join our fandom community together with us: On faunaurbana.com.br. In some months I believe that our fandom will relax and apply more for their blogs, everybody have something to say.” - Said Tanuki Gokuhi, the current administrator of Fauna Urbana.
In six months, Fauna Urbana got more then 5,000 visits (2,000 uniques) and still growing 11% per week.
Lata Velha, by Globo.com
After Fauna Urbana announced a TV Show using furries for a prank, everyone think the show would be aired on the last Saturday 17th April, but it wasn’t.
An anniversary was aired instead, celebrating the 10 years of “Caldeirão do Huck” (the TV Show that is going to use furries on the segment called “Lata Velha”).
However, the official website Globo.com (the broadcaster) released date and time for this specific program where furries will appear.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:15pm (GMT-3). With this official announce (and not rumors) we can finally seat on our sofas and check it out.
Fauna Urbana will cover this moment and when the first video recording of the program is released, we will put it here.
Check the official announcement (translated by Google): Dani Suzuki will be complicit in our debut of Lata Velha 2010 Archive.
Less then a hour ago, the public twitter profile of FurAffinity announced an alternative version for its website with clean artwork. Safe For Work, the URL http://sfw.furaffinity.net/ will attempt to keep they audience browsing even during the work.
It’s a good choice for who don’t want to see Yiff all the time, mainly during the work. But considering that the community have to rate their content between General and Adult artwork, it’s not a hundred percent guarantee that we are going to see only clean images.
So even during the SFW browsing, be careful :)

This morning, Brazilian fandom members received breaking news from Fauna Urbana (written by Zutharr) about a TV show to be broadcast on April 17th.
In January, a famous Brazilian news channel (Fantástico) did a short feature on furries. Two months later, a popular TV show called Caldeirão do Huck decided to use a furry theme in the their first prank of the year. This TV show is broadcast every Saturday on Globo (which also shows Fantástico).
There is a segment of the program called “Lata Velha” (“Beater [cars]“) in which they pull a prank on a car’s owner — sometimes using the car owner’s family as accomplices — confounding him until the big revelation: the appearance of the presenter Luciano Huck with the message that he will fix their car completely after an outlandish challenge is accomplished, such as finding homes for thirty abandoned dogs.
For the year’s first “Lata Velha”, the production team decided to use fursuits and contacted Zutharr and his friends, who helped them understand how furry fandom works, how to act in fursuit and, of course, how to perform with Huck during the prank. (mais…)

FurryBrasil (wiki), a well-known Brazilian furry discussion forum, took their initial steps outside the box and launched their first podcast, “Focinho a Focinho” (Snout to Snout).
Hwei Chow interviewed two lead members of Abando: Aniki Geelong and Ekevoo Guepardo on the topics of how Abando is planned, organized and performed, as well as problems and misunderstandings that used to haunt the team. The interview was made during Abando.
The podcast can be heard in MP3 format at the following link: http://www.furrybrasil.com.br/podcast

Abando 2010 attendees
Each year the Abando family grows, and this year was no exception. They say “he who misses Abando, misses more every year.” This year Abando attracted 37 attendees (15 more then last year) leaving the staff surprised — and a little worried, as the current site can only hold 40 people.
With the Hawaiian theme of “Aloha Abando!”, the site boasted beautiful ambient lighting, an outdoor projector screen, music and tiki torches, and was adorned with flowers and tiki masks. (mais…)
