Unreal Engine Breeders of the Nephelym [v0.761.13 Public] [DerelictHelmsman]

[Sum Gi]

If the game has that many patreon supporters content should be more common for sure... I'm not sure where it's all going if all we're getting is a few bug fixes spanning between long stretches of time like this. This isn't uncommon though, which is the thing that I wish would change.

The fact it's drawing in a shitton of money for doing nothing is exactly the reason this will never ever change.

All people have to do is check the Patreon and SubStar.

No matter how you feel, the numbers tell the truth. Folks yap about NTR but will let these indie devs cuck them

He only has to drip feed to keep the money coming in. If the money dips below a certain point, he puts out a "bigger" update. Rinse Repeat.

I'll help you out...

Estimates 13k-35k a month, from research including Patreon's own, most people settle in center tiers so I'd guess around ~20k a month. This is despite a steady downward trend.

I have absolutely nothing against using patreon, I just wish more creators took their fans more seriously and treated them and their game more fairly/honestly/whatever.

 

[ClownTownClown]

The current culture of funding games, even those that aren't eroge or adult-games has shifted into a very weird place for sure.
I wouldn't mind waiting half a year for big content updates, but waiting years for nothing is... interesting.
I've learned to just not fund games anymore unless they have a record of delivering actual substance on a timely manner with minor hiccups.
I'm not falling for the patreon scam again, that's for sure.

 

[Hamburgy]

wait, this last update had just bug fixes and still my lvl 59 save won't work?

 

[vhoxz]

No updates for months, pushes some bug fixes and things almost no one cares about. How does this game have any patrons at all?

Damn two bullet points huh

1 Fix

And this dude is making the $72k+ per year, fuck I should be a game dev and scam horny gamers

 

[yacky91]

I definitely should learn how to make a porn game, have a humble amount of content enough to get a big chunk of patreons, then dedicate my time to write monthly changelogs fixing my own bug fixes as I earn thousands $$$ till I feel like abandoning the game with a nice message.

"Sorry guys my dog spilled coffee on my laptop aaaand lost everything! It's sad but everything comes to an end, thank you for your support!<3"

 

[BeholdTheWizzard]

Dev, if you want to revive the game just do two things:
1) we need more furry/fantasy races available (and so the mix races)
2) finally make a good POV camera -give few cm of height to the breeder and just ajust the camera

That's a terrible, terrible advice.
Expand on core gameplay and mechnics. Adding yet another fur variation for the furry fetishists is what ruined many games. Focus on pointless cosmetic s** that can alwas be added later should be a secondary concern.

Player clothes (that were promissed a million years ago), ways for MC to get traits, actual use for breeding offspring, more things to do, etc...

This project went wrong when futa had no balls.

You are a terrible, terrible person with terrible, terrible tastes.

 

[BeholdTheWizzard]

Every fucking time I see a game with male content (that isn't catered towards men obv), the male content always happens to be either severely lacking or completely obscured by futa.

I don't care about futa. I don't want futa. If I want dick, I want it from a man. It's like there's a futa curse on these types of games. I don't understand the appeal personally...

Personally, I don't understand the appeal of men. I'm not gay, so why would I want to stare at a mans ass or hear a mans moans? Also, no amount of self-inserting dellusion will help - the MC ain't me, will never be me.
The fact that you think it isn't catered to men because it's not gay enough is laughable to me.

Only females and futa (no balls) are valid and sane.

 

[mary7777]

can someone do an update with belly button popped out in pregnancy? and someone can tell me where i can have more clothes or accesories? is some shop or somehting?

 

[LastPleasure]

Man, this game is so difficult, it's extremely hard to understand where to start and where to go

May i chime in?
The problem to me isn't that the Futa/Dickgirl/Shemale or whatever you want to call it these days exists in the game. My problem is that the creator tries to force it on you EVERY GOD DAMN STEP in the game.
Even scolding or insulting you for disabling it.

There is no good way to play a male character. There is no way to avoid the Futa stuff really as a female character.

You can't make yourself certain goals in the game without having to deal with it.

Yes you can disable it, but only VISUALLY. The game still tracks it as you did the futa stuff. And that bothers me in particular.
The best example is the centaur gatekeeper. Pointing out to you how you disabled Futa stuff, telling you that screen just gonna fade and nothing is visually happening, since you didn't want to see it, implying that it happened anyway offscreen.


Then even insulting those who try different ways to avoid it by using cheats or something? Sure it's not as bad as it seems, but it just adds to that already huge pile of shit.


If there were an actual scene for both males and females at all times if you disable the Futa stuff, then i couldn't say a word there, but they RARELY exist. And most often than not you get, as i stated before, insulted for disabling it in the first place.

According to grapheteon's estimate the lowest possible he could be making, as in every single sub is on the lowest possible tier, is 156k a year lol.

A way to give the MC traits for breeding such as cosmetic ones would be actually good. I want more control over how breeding works, especially when it comes to the color of the nephelym, which you typically end up forsaking for efficiency.
More control overall would be good. No doubt about it, this doesn't need to be a super complicated game, because at the end of the game it's a porn game first, it shouldn't feel like you're cooking up chemicals in a lab hoping to get the right mix.

Exactly. Some special nephelym you can only get with futa, such as the Unicorn.
That's pretty lame, if you asked me.

Honestly, probably not even enough to pay for their medical bills tbf.

It sucks that there seems to be virtually no notable changes/additions to the actual gameplay of the game this decade, so I kind of wish the dev just paid someone else to take over the main development duties, while the original just manages direction and whatnot. Clearly there's still plenty of people out there who want there to be development, considering the patron numbers.

Personally, I'd feel pretty bad to ask for more than that at this point, considering the dev did mention years back about struggling with a worsening mental illness (with psychosis effects). Although I am not currently or going to be one of those supports on the patreon, due to me not liking that payment model to begin with, and also due to me not wanting to support something that isn't actually making any progress to align with the funding it's receiving. Honestly, I find it a bit weird there's still so many supporters to this day.

I didn't know the dev struggled with Psychosis. That's very rough...

The whole game revolves around furry fetishism — but that’s not the problem. It’s not ruined because of the furry aspect, it’s ruined due to the lack of essential updates. Honestly, the game doesn’t need much: just a few more species/races — like bunnies (we only have one NPC, Risu), horses, and deer — plus some more hybrids. Personally, I don’t think anything beyond that is necessary.


Clothing? There’s really no need for it — maybe that’s why we don’t have any in the first place.


Traits definitely need a proper overhaul. That system is long overdue for an update.


P.S. Damn, this could’ve been a great game… but something went wrong along the way.
