Unreal Engine Arcadia Bae [Development Thread]

[NODDONT]

Arcadia Bae is a porn parody of Life is Strange game. Basically I want to recreate Arcadia Bay one to one and add lewd content. After creating that base I'm gonna start to work on story.
I'm not much of a writer, so it would be better to just show some main features of the game.

Arcadia Bay in full size

Currently, not all decorations and materials have been added, and the lighting is only halfway done, but you get the idea. Other locations is still so early in development that i will not show it to you.

Wardrobe System

Please dont mind her face, it's work in progress.

Dialogue System

And more styled too...

Phone UI and Quest system

And it's gonna get better too, i promise

Long story short, if you have seen the game 'Lust is Stranger' by 'The Architect' (Amazing game by the way, go check it out), I'm working on something similar but in 3D.

Well, that's about it. I haven't worked on sex animations so far. Retargeting animations from different characters to other different characters is a nightmare. Basically, that is the reason why I'm here without a playable demo. I need financial support to hire animators and artists, as I am not an animator, and you definitely don't want to see my drawings. Anyone interested in the development of a game, please subscribe to my Patreon. This way, you will be a great help to the project.

So it's the Unreal Engine product "Third Person Adventure Template" with assets from Life is Strange imported from XNA Lara?

Maybe you should do more than 5 minutes of work before asking for handouts.

No, I'm not using any content from unreal marketplace and assets imported directly from the game.

Maybe you should do more than 5 minutes of work before asking for handouts.

Map alone took about 30 hours, as it is impossible to extract full map from game, so every object was placed manually.

Hey i am a huge life is strange fan so thanks for making this game. I have some few questions if you don't mind answering them.

1.) Is it going to be full open world?? Can most locations of Arcadia bae be explored??
2.) How many playble characters would be there?? Would it possible to customize them??
3.) When can we expect a demo?
4.) Can we drive vehicles similar to Gta??
5.) How big are you planning to make this game by that i mean can the whole Arcadia bay be explored or part of it or would there be side quests and other stuff?

Hello,

1.) Is it going to be full open world?? Can most locations of Arcadia bae be explored??

It will be full recreation of game levels, so not an open world in a common meaning, but I would definitely allow to move between locations freely.

2.) How many playble characters would be there?? Would it possible to customize them??

I'm still thinking about it. I believe that for story mode its just Max and Chloe, but its not hard to make basically every character playable, though they wouldn't support all features, like wardrobe etc.

3.) When can we expect a demo?

Definitley before the summer ends, but I cannot say in july or august, best case late july, worst case late august.

4.) Can we drive vehicles similar to Gta??

No. Locations too small for them, and what is for anyway.

5.) How big are you planning to make this game by that i mean can the whole Arcadia bay be explored or part of it or would there be side quests and other stuff?

Finished version will have all game locations, but i will add them with updates, as it takes a lot of time to make them. Side quests definitely will be, awarding you with new clothes and other stuff. Speaking about how big it is gonna be, the closest thing is "My Lust Wish".

Time to create actual story-related content.

As I'm new to writing, I could use some assistance. That's why I'm opening my Discord for a week to everyone. Those who manage to hop in on time will receive an enthusiast role forever. I'll be creating polls and asking questions, offering a great opportunity for anyone who wants to influence the game's early stages. Your suggestions and feedback will be invaluable in shaping the story.
