Unreal Engine Beasts in the Sun [Skeleton Test] [Animo Pron]

[Nopenopeno]

BUGS

• Cannot equip, aim or fire a weapon after sex scene.
• Getting caught results in several seconds of Clara being in a ragdoll state where you can still control her. She just flops around like a fish on land until the scene starts. Assuming this will be replaced with a "caught" animation if ever added to main game. EDIT: Animation worked after redownloading.
• Falling and taking enough damage results in ragdoll state that Clara does not recover from without pressing the "Ragdoll" button.
• Loading a Quicksave from the Main Menu results in a black screen. You can hear the game, including entering and leaving menus, but cannot see anything. EDIT: Using F9 from within the game does not cause this issue.
• Puzzle bugs. Peeing in the holes did not always work. Something happened that prevented me from activating the 5th wheel, no matter how much or how long I soaked it. Deleting save and starting a fresh game did not fix it, in fact none of the wheels would work during the second play through. Deleting the entire game, plus all the files in "Users/username/AppData/Local/Skeletonstest" DOES NOT fix this. EDIT: These things are very particular, sometimes they work, sometimes they do not. Often you have to strafe back and forth, change angle, and just keep at it until the confirmation pops up.
• Several map leaks where the glowing "outside map" area will shine through.
• Photo Mode does not work. It looks like it's working, but none of the pictures you take are actually being saved. Inside of Photo Mode, many of the animations do not work. This is a Test build, so this is not a huge thing.
• Moving Flashlight from inventory to an equipped slot, deletes the Flashlight.

PROS

• New enemy: 3 variants. Boring, but adds to the variety.
• Combat improvements. Adds weak spots, armor that can be shot off to disable limbs, weapon jamming, crosshair accuracy.
• Interesting new area and puzzle.

CONS

• Not Episode 2.
  • I do appreciate the test build, and that these things take more time than we want, especially with a single \ small team Developer. That said, much of what we are seeing has been shown off years ago. It is painfully obvious these things are being drawn out to milk subscribers. This is one of the main things preventing someone, like me, who looks for games to support on sites like these, from Subscribing in the first place.
• When shooting out a leg, the weak spot can become more difficult to hit. Requires specific angle that does not always work in close quarters. Must be hit from straight in front, back or left side. Bullet will not penetrate from right side, head or lower torso.
  • Suggest causing shoulder armor to also fail off during fall, opening up the angle more, and allowing penetration through more of the skeleton
• HDR in this area can make the lighting very dark in some areas. Adjusting brightness washes out the light areas.
  • Suggest allowing the HDR presets shown during sex scenes, to be available in Graphics settings.

but have not figured out the second. I assume it has to do with the wheel like things laying around, but I cannot interact with them, and shooting them has no effect. Will update after I've figured it out. Got it, thanks yijil. All content completed, unfortunately

Any new content/gameplay to this update?

Any new content/gameplay to this update?

As others have said this is a separate test demo. It is not attached to the main game. It shows off a few potential new mechanics, 2 secrets and 1 sex scene. That is all.

Same here. The content is fun to play so far and many scenes are pretty hot. But the slow progress prevents me from supporting. I saw many other games that milk the people and you got an update with no real content. And there are some good games giving regularly updates with good and fresh content and good storyline.

Those are the ones i support on patreon.

This game is still in such an early stage it is not really worth playing. New content is also drawn out and not much really new stuff is added so far. I wish I could be nicer to the game cause the graphics are beautiful, the models are great and it feels like it can be a solid game, but the dev needs to move stuff forward already and give people more content that is worth playing.
I don't play this game to play a The Forest game. I'm here to get that hot chick fucked by whatever is on the island and have a bit of quests to do that involve this content.

Sweet! I'll go ahead and give it a try.

Will delete my save and try a fresh game.

I found a pretty comical bug as well, if you get caught, sometimes you will be shown floating mid air when you get fucked, and after you're done every time you press X (the rag doll button) will you try to warp back to the fuck platform thing at light speed.

A bug I found last night, if you move the Pistol with the flashlight attached back in to the backpack storage, and then put it back on the weapon wheel, it'll lose the Flashlight and you have no way of getting it back.

 

[ghaash]

Do i just need to download the skeleton version to see all the content as for now?

Do you know what the scene is?

Did you look into her butt?

One of the things I find so dissapointing about this project is that Animo seems to have little grasp of some simple concepts that make any game just more enjoyable to play.

I mean for instance, the enviroments look pretty good. But the lighting is so god awful that half the time I can't even see them. Its either way to dark or way to bright. Spend some time on post process volume's for god's sake.

Then there's just unecessary gameplay features like gun jamming. Which is just one of the most awful mechanics any game can implement. Especially in the way this game does it. Because its just a random occurance that the player can't do anything about and which can happen at the most inconvient of times. Which makes it just annoying. You're punishing the player for nothing.

There's plent of other oversights like not clearly marking pickups, so you can easily overlook them (not talking about collectables but ammo etc.) Nothing's really clearly marked to begin with. Where you need to go for instance is not always very obvious.

I still think the shooting in general is super bad. Its way inconsistent you either hit the thing you aim for from across the room in one shot. Or you need to empty a mag just to hit what you're aiming at.

The more time he spends on this project the more I feel like he should've just given us a more interactive version of the animations he was already doing. A handfull of small enviroments with loads of different postions and toys to play with. Instead of this overly elaborate survival and exploration game.

 

[EidolonOfMadness]

instead of having some horse sex or minotaur sex they put sand and skeletons, this project is just money grab lol

 

[Coen92]

1st secret: find and pickup 10 gemstones. You need to look above. I have found 12 of them, you only need 10.

2nd secret: piss into 5 small holes in the middle of stone circles laying around.

Prizes: outfit + Uzi machine gun. Nothing special.

A bug I found last night, if you move the Pistol with the flashlight attached back in to the backpack storage, and then put it back on the weapon wheel, it'll lose the Flashlight and you have no way of getting it back.

I noticed this also and added it to my bug list. I'm not associated with Animo and that list will likely never be seen, but maybe a Supporter will pass it on.

 

[Yusik86]

Despite the bugs, I managed to find 2 secrets.

As a “colleague in the game” wrote above: you can pee in the hole in the 5th circle for a long time, but the game will not count it, to solve this bug you need to remove the necklace from the heroine and pee with the male genital organ, and then the 5th attempt is counted.
As for skeletons, skeletons with shields caused more problems, but this has its own charm - you need to develop tactics for destroying them.



Thanks to the developer for this game and may the Gaming Gods protect him!

Sorry for the English, translated by Google translator.

 

[Iluzion0ne]

And yes, that was all that was I can do!

 

[nowayman69]

Am I the only one who thinks that Animo should just... I don't know... go back to making animations and leave game development for people that actually know how to develop a game? Like, how long has this thing been going on for now? 2 Years? And this is it???

 

[Nopenopeno]

The Test build seems to have also broken Photo Mode in the main game. Anyone else having issues with this? If not I need to do more digging on my end. Thanks.
