Animations probably won't happen, it's way too much extra work for a game as large scoped as LD+
The furry shrine actually only really affects NPCs. You can make the main character furry or not regardless of furry shrine settings.
I try to have some extra text depending on player attributes, but to be honest, it's kind of annoying to set up, since I need to break paragraphs into separate pieces so that I can change parts between them.
I'm specifically not putting bonuses on equip items because I don't want people to min-max, and just wear what they want. Only the weapons have stats, and even that's causing people to ask which weapons are strongest. Maybe I'll need to change that too.
