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

[Saast2]

Awesome! Running on empty boring ass fields, its like playing that disgusting world of warcraft. Sex animations are clipping and are all the same. Opening gates is too cryptic and time consuming. Because of getting right traits. World is too big or make her run faster! Lust meter very bad idea!
In current form game is too time consuming with lot of waiting!

I don't know how things are for subscribers, but for non-baсkers v0.753.7 does not start in Steam, because the client is looking for the Radiant.exe file, which in this version is replaced by OBF.exe. Perhaps something will change with the release of the Public version.

P.S. I just tried it. If you replace the name of the OBF.exe file with Radiant.exe, the game starts without problems through Steam.

is there any form to see all the poses of the surprise sex? in gallery only can se the moves from the barn

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

Sex animations are all the same.

There's an NPC you can buy more positions from down the line. No, you don't buy them with real money but with the Goddess' Favour tokens you get by "ascending" your Nephs with the Emissary. Depending on the amount of traits a Neph has, you'll get more of them - however, a sterile Neph will always net you 0, even if they have 27 other traits.
It's still gas to me that you can wind up with Sterility AND Fertile on the same Neph.

The change in exe name is a starting as of this version and will be that name moving forward.

"I renamed the inner project from Radiant to OBF for reasons I will reveal later, for now make sure you copy saves and presets from Radiant folder to OBF folders. "

Just out of curiosity, do they have the cobra man and demon-horn man from the header in the game at all/yet?

As far as I know sadly only the earliest versions had a few humanoid males. Since the dev hates creating males they where removed at some point. I think not even new full furry where added which is why for some species its only female and futa.

Oh ffs, they actually removed the male characters?! God, I'm all for content for everyone, but I'm seriously getting sick of futa content replacing male roles in games these days. Futas are an addition to, not a replacement for an actual male. Fuck that shit... I'm glad I didn't download this game again only to find out the one thing I liked about it was gone.
But thanks for letting me know - you saved me some hassle.

Originally the npcs in town were all human, if memory serves Amber-Mae used to refer to herself as an ex-breeder before she was changed into a bovaur. Back then there wasn't any solid lore so the name is more than likely a holdover before the dev decided to make humans special and integral to the plot. He probably didn't want to change the name when he overhauled it and fleshed the lore out as by then the name was already established and had a following. Funny you should mention the name right as he changed the name of the exe, maybe a name change is imminent.

Bit of a misunderstanding, what Schlong50 means is that the old male models were removed. You can still play as a male and there are a few male nephelym (with more on the way) but they're of a much lower priority and will never equal females in number. Love it or hate it the dev has put his foot down on what he wants (and doesn't want) to add: No futa balls, no gay sex, no anal, obese fat ...""curvy"" women only, fox only, final destination. Frankly by this point I'm surprised there are any male characters at all considering how fervent he is in excluding things he doesn't like.

I read the description of this build as soon as it came out. I don't care what DH was guided by when changing the name of folders and files. The ability to launch the game on Steam was important to me, and in the end I succeeded.

Slightly more complicated than that. It used to be that every type of character was running a different model and skeleton, which made sex animations a nightmare to create. So he yanked all that out and replaced it with a standard body and skeleton, and, to avoid the same problem in the future, appears to have pretty much dropped nonstandard body types (naga/taur/amorphous blob etc.) with the exception of blessed nephelym.

I've done the math in this thread before on why that particular decision checks out. Short version is that every body type he adds exponentially adds to the number of animations he has to create for any given sex position.

Now that's why they were removed. Why some males haven't come back and others just never got implemented is an entirely different matter, and that's been explained above. I seem to recall a statement from derelict about not implementing any new males unless they brought something unique to the table.

There are still male characters. Starfallen, Foxen, Dragon, Demon, and Bovaur males are all still there. And I believe plans to re-add Titan male as well.

Game Internal Name Change Info

OBF is the new internal name. (0.753.7 and later)
RADIANT was the old one (prior to 0.753.7)

CURRENT NAME	TYPE	OLD NAME	FUNCTION
OBF.exe	Executable	Radiant.exe	Game Launcher
OBF	Folder	Radiant	Game Assets and Code
OBF-Win64-Shipping.exe	Executable	Radiant-Win64-Shipping.exe	Main Executable
%LOCALAPPDATA%\OBF	Folder	%LOCALAPPDATA%\Radiant	Save/Configuration Folder

The following files have the internal code name in them (and thus can't just be copied, at least without modification).

Engine.ini
Game.ini
GameUserSettings.ini

Save files do reference the internal name but they are compatible if copied/moved to the new location.


Notes

Steam, right now, is not removing RADIANT because if the user is still on the public build it would break the game (literally), once the OBF switch is public things will get less messy (I chatted with DH on this issue).

If you have both, in theory if run RADIANT you will run the latest public build, if you run OBF it will run the newest test build. I would not recommend renaming one to the other as it will then load assets from a different version. (If you insist on this route, you'd need to rename the folder and the Radiant-Win64-Shipping.exe to match - I haven't tested such a procedure and don't recommend it.)

Imagine develope a porn game for 4 years...

 

[Sharks are Evil]

game looks huge and amazing, until you find out it has a lot of repetitive content. if the dev would just let go of this so called "story building" that isn't really there anyway, and start adding more positions that would be a good direction to go in. also voice/moans and some of the more aggresive stuff that other game has, would help a lot. what was the name.. wild life I think.

Big same brother, Male on Female is where (surprisingly) my degeneracy ends, futa just doesn't get it done for me, the power dynamic is just completely lost which for me is where the essence of my boner lies.

On the bright side though, BotN is a damn beacon to other developers out there that breeding games are still a very, very viable and lucrative pursuit. In addition to this, the foundation of an excellent hentai title is sewn into the core gameplay loop - breeding. You almost cannot lose with breeding titles, the genre alone will gain substantial interest - shit even Kotaku covered Breeding Season all those moons ago.

With that said, DH is a fucking monster for creating BotN, one man band creating a game like this? God tier, full stop, and we can only hope and pray that more individuals of his caliber role through and roll the dice with an H title. Hopefully with a bit more M on F in the future
