Before the Foundation. Before Feline Fuelled Games was established in 2004, its founder Oliver Knörzer and several other team members, among them Eric Dunkel and Matthias Geißler, developed the campaign "Silberwald : Der Ring des Schicksals" ("Silver Forest: The Ring of Destiny") for BioWare's "Neverwinter Nights" which was released on 21 July 2003. It became a surprise hit with more than 30,000 downloads at the biggest "Neverwinter Nights" fansite NWVault. "Silberwald: Der Ring des Schicksals" received an overall score of 78% in a test by Georg Valentin of the second biggest German game magazine GameStar, and it was the subject of the TV show Giga Games which aired on 25 July 2003. Oliver's mother Ute Knörzer, who designed levels and wrote dialog for "Silberwald: Der Ring des Schicksals", then moved  on to develop the mods "Silberwald Saga: Dunkle Sonne" ("Silver Forest Legend: Dark Sun"), a spin-off of the original "Silberwald" campaign, and "Das Lied der Götter" for "Neverwinter Nights". The latter one was later translated into English among the title "The Song Divine" and has been included into NWVault’s "Hall of Fame" list. Mods for Neverwinter Nights 2. After "Neverwinter Nights 2" was announced by Obsidian, Oliver Knörzer and Ute Knörzer began the development of a new campaign called "Gaia: Chroniken des 3. Zeitalters" ("Gaia: Chronicles of the Third Age") for it in 2004. Some old and new  team members joined them over the course of 2004 and 2005 and the mod group was given its name Feline Fuelled Games on 29 September 2005, referring a story arc of the webcomic "Dragon Tails" about an incompetent video game developer company. The project turned out to be too ambitious, though, and was eventually cancelled in 2006 with Oliver Knörzer also resigning as lead developer. However, Feline Fuelled Games, now led by Ute Knörzer, managed to release several other mods during the next years and grew to 20 team members as of March 2012, including the second lead developer Walter  Oswald.

Section::::"Herz der Finsternis". The first mod released by Feline Fuelled Games was "Herz der Finsternis" ("Heart of Darkness") on 9 December 2007, which was developed by Ute Knörzer. "Herz der Finsternis" is the direct sequel of "Das Lied der Götter" and was praised by Andreas Bertits as "a fantastic adventure" that "no fan of the main game [Neverwinter Nights 2] and fantasy stories should miss" in  his reviews of the campaign for the game magazines PC Games and PC Action. Section::::"Der Fluch der Zwerge" series. The release of "Herz der Finsternis" was followed by the release of the first part of the "Der Fluch der Zwerge" ("The Curse of the Dwarfs") series by lead developer Walter Oswald on 5 March 2008. Until January 2011 five parts of the "Der Fluch der Zwerge" series have been published.

The first chapter was released on 11 August 2008 and the sixth and last chapter on 30 August 2009. "Planescape: Die Traumfängerin" received the most critical acclaim of all mods developed by Feline Fuelled Games so far with Andreas Bertits of PC Games giving the following  review of the second chapter: "The mod by Ute Knörzer will take you into a strange but fascinating world.
