Unreal Engine AmalGene [Prototype] [Calm_Puma]

Clearly not a VN loosely based on the movie Fucking Amal.

Thanks for your game Calm_Puma , and good that you are reading feedback.
But know that f95 feedback is close to worthless these days, people here are much more negative than the average player and most don't plan to ever support you no matter how much you will bend to their requests. Don't argue with "asset flip" and "Patreon", it's not worth losing your mental health.

The 1-star rating right now is a perfect example of that. Someone's already mad that you are making 2$ / month on Patreon. Seriously, you can't make this s*** up.

F95 UNITE AGAINST EVIL DEVS !! They came from hell, to milk our two precious dollars.

Not even. People on this website are great at smelling bullshit from a mile away. So many users on this website have been fucked over at least once with devs not finishing their games but milking as much money as possible. We've just simply grown wiser and recognized the patterns that devs pull. No offense to the creator of this game, but they don't seem any different.

You complain about someone giving a 1 star review, and it's totally valid that it already received a bad review. You review a game based on the content that is there now, not what is planned to be added for later. A poor review is completely right for now, because there is absolutely nothing to do right now.

Also, the negative reviews a lot of us have for games are completely valid because a lot of devs try to make a game and while not every game is perfect, a lot of games are a genuine pain in the ass to play. Lots of devs introduce their games on here to get their game out but yet won't put in the work and quit early. Devs a lot of the time also don't flesh out important stuff like Gameplay, UI/UX, and many other systems they put in that plays like shit. If a game sucks in some aspect, I will absolutely tell the dev about it because I want their game to be better. No one wants to play a bad game.

Oh I'm not "complaining because someone gave a 1-star review" or trying to prevent negative feedback. You write what you want, it's a forum. I just want to warn the dev because they might not be used yet to f95, and risk losing their neurons in the process.

As for "milking Patreons", people using this expression are a giant red flag as I said in my previous message so I already realize I should apply my own advice and cut the conversation short as soon as possible. While there are (rare) cases where the expression is justified, in the overwhelming majority of cases it simply means people don't realize:
1) how difficult and unprofitable it is to make porn games (it is probably in fact, the single worst way to make money if you have IT skills)
2) what Patreon is for.

I didn't want to be a jerk but I literally said "Partially visible face, unreal engine with free unreal store assets, floating GUI interface with basic interact key"... "Empty environments depicting nondescript scifi settings with a default skybox."
No confidence inspired. This preview image set stresses me out.

p.s about asset flipping part, there will be that, say something like inventory system. A good one would take tons of time for me to create, where i could create new levels/quests/anims instead. Focusing on the strong sides instead of wasting the effort on the weak points that would reward in buggy mediocre results.

I mean we can all see the difference between the stuff you made and the stuff that came off a storefront (free or not). It's simply not feasible for a solo or micro dev team to model numerous high quality 3d assets and build a game. The result is inevitably clashing discord.

Spoiler: Spot the difference

My concern is not asset flipping itself. Near every project uses premade assets and systems. Nothing morally wrong with it. Rather that the availability such materials has led you to believe that such a project is feasible for someone with your resources, and will likewise fool the usual gullible crowd into believing the project is making rapid progress, even as it piles on more and more cobbled together, contrasting assets into a ramshackle house of matches.

A fantastic 3d h game would make my day. But I predict that you will eventually fail, not because you lack talent or drive or work ethic, but because you have bitten off more than you can chew. More than anyone can chew.

The fact that you consider a good game never "done" and don't realize what a massive red flag that is from a development standpoint should be setting off air raid sirens. The task you set for yourself is already beyond human capacity and instead of a concrete goal you have built scope creep into your very mindset right from the start. I would much rather see you devote your time to creating a solid project that is within your limitations.

I hope, hope, hope that this delivers something great, but my gut tells me it will deliver a few years and a few harsh lessons.
But if you earnestly believe you can prove me wrong, don't let me dissuade you. Regardless of the ultimate success of a project I will never not respect a dev for putting in the work.

Well.. you are right, that the statistics in the Solo dev/UE/3D game category are very disastrous.

Those who set very realistic goals have a chance.
On the other hand, it is not good to immediately discourage a developer or try to make him disgusted. There are many developers who hate F95 for toxic behavior. Personally, I would probably not support this, but there is no reason to hate.

It's not my intention to bash. I tried to salt that feedback with as much positive reinforcement as I could. I 100% understand that it's not something any dev who just worked on a project for 6 goddam months would ever want to hear and I'm aware it will make me come across as a downer to the people already getting hyped, but my genuine best advice is for the dev to have a sit and consider scrapping the project and pivoting to something more manageable before the sunk cost fallacy takes further hold.

 

[SoloDallaS]

I won't even try it, because I'm 100% sure there's nothing there, and I don't see any potential in this game.

Lincoln is named the best President in US history. My favorite thing about him is that he, chose his political rivals, as his cabinet members. When people asked why, he said :

,, Because they will tell it as it is ''

I am fully aware of the issues with the scale. And how long it would take. How the creative energy might fade away during the journey. Been there before. Like the 80% of the business that fails in the first five years. Or they run out of gun powder.

But then, if, i wanted to create the next - Orc Massage,
a relatively easy way to earn, - i would do so. Something small, achievable. Something, - safe. I would do.

But i don't want that.
Been doing that on my other Patreon page. Tried from the very first steps to threat it as a game.
After two years, it's exhausting.
Each time something new. New that has little to do with previous work. Again and again and again. F that. Like that movie where the same day repeats 1000+ times. I mean same formula. And tons of limitations. Tons. Chained creativity. As much as i imagined it to be otherwise, pretend and flipped the truth, - eventually, had to stop lying to myself. Those are but a small/limited mods, not a game.

Meanwhile, all that i want is a place that i could always return to, to add something new-cool and few people that would enjoy it. Did it since the early teen days. Made a full circle in life. And now, returning back to those early teenager days.

Thank you for quality - constructive criticism. There are quite a few of intelligent souls here. Read all of those posts.

Fail i will, most likely, a suicide mission, certainty of death, small chances of success, - what are we waiting for. This is the way. Smiles.
