Whilst it does need a redesign, I do agree that it's a silly thing to focus on at this stage in development. Surely there are more important things at hand.

There are definitely better things to iron out or add, but an ugly or clunky UI can keep people from wanting to play any of the actual content regardless of the state it's in. Either he thinks it's an easy or worthwhile fix, or it's busywork to distract from more painful dev work behind the curtains.
I just hope it looks decent when he's done.

With how he's known to flip the bird at players, I wouldn't put it past him to make it even worse.

This game needs mods so the community can add what they want like story packs, different sex models, other forms of breeding, incest, futas with balls, etc. That alone would improve the game without the dev having to do much on his end.

DerelictHelmsman quote " But my money tho!! "
if the game has a solid enough base to bring ppl in and have ppl want to mod it to spend more time is a good thing

Does anybody know if there is a way to increase the max number of wild nephelyms that can spawn in the wild?

Get the megasync app and use the mega link. You don't need an account, it downloads much faster, and it has a ~5 gb limit per day that stops but doesn't crash the download like your browser limit will.
Would it be possible to see what this looks like? screen shots would be great plz.

Holy shit. This guy is making at least $12,034 a month (absolute minimum) to put out empty updates once every half a year, and he's been pulling this successfully for multiple years. I don't know if that's impressive or aggravating... He could straight up pay someone to program, animate, or design more than he does within those months and still come out with a good living wage.
144,408 a year minus a decent freelance worker's pay ($60k) and he is still making $84,408. That's without doing anything himself and having someone constantly employed. And that is also assuming all patrons and subs are 1st tier at $2 a month, which they surely aren't. Six figures for fucking what?
Can we acknowledge the absolute buffoons who continue paying anyway? Onlyfans is a better investment, you cucks.

Yes, it is absurd how much many he is making for how little apparent progress is displayed. He is not good at communicating outside of his patreon, so we only find out what has been done every 4 months or so.
To be fair though, this project in its current state is still immensely more playable and done than most of the classic scam breeding simulator games (looking directly at you cloud meadow). The game has basically all of its assets in at this point, so apart from balancing and finally deciding on a progression order for the world, it is basically done. With that in mind (and the fact that he did most of the labor up front before getting a patreon ready front), you can consider at least some of this as backpay for a normal video game dev cycle.

Guys, quick question for a beginner; and I apologize beforehand if I'm missing something obvious, but successful breeding seems to be extremely rare for me.
I'm at my first starting hours so I can only catch Foxens and Vulwargs. And from my first 100 attempts at breeding only 5 have resulted in a pregnancy. The wiki says the chance for a successful breeding "is a % chance equaling the sum of the breeding partners' Fertility Stat." And " the maximum chance of success is 80%".
For me this % has never been below 60% and around 75% or more most of the time. If the wiki is to be trusted ... this is a far cry from ~20% I'm getting.
Am I missing something here, or is it supposed to be this way?

Remember that if you just started out, both the Nephelym you catch and your PC will have a very low fertility stat (~80-120). As you level up yourself, the Nephelym, and their world level, that number will get much larger (mine are around 780 right now). Even with this, the odds are around 50% on average.
I would suggest prioritizing building the player and world level for the Foxen and Vulwargs. That will help jump start your stats and make later stuff a lot easier.

Thanks friend. Much appreciate the response.
That explains a lot. What confused me was this bit from the wiki (as I mentioned before) which I assume is outdated, or I'm reading it wrong:
The beginning experience of this game has been quite peculiar
You are thrown into the world and encouraged to experiment, which is excellent on its own. And then I see on the mission board that I need to breed specific pokém ... I mean nephelyms before certain dates; which means I am on the clock.This is also good game design. The game is giving me a direction to pursue.
So I go to the Lustwood and catch as many of them as I can and get to work ... only to realize for some reason I can't breed any of them at all and I am always faced with "No offspring this time".
This genuinely lead me to believe there's something wrong with my game, or I'm missing something obvious. That's when I decided to consult the wiki which, as you can see above, only added to my confusion.
Regardless, as you kindly explained, as I persevered past this confusion by continuing random breeding attempts that kept leveling the nephelyms, I did manage to achieve a successful pregnancy

The Quest board is largely useless.
It has wanted Nephs that you have no chance of finding - in my latest playthrough it wanted a Futa Demon with Buxom. In three days. At the start of the game.
Also a Jabberwock.
I wouldn't count the Quest board as a guide of progression because many times it will want Hybrids. Which never appear in the wild.
The pregancy chance was severely nerfed but that's because DH loves flipping the bird at players, pirates and potential patrons all at the same time. It can be mitigated with the Fertility trait (which has three ranks, also increases offspring birth speed).
You can also save edit the trait onto your Breeder if it gets too frustrating...
Also, the move to UE5 has been going on for months now. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a marketing scam.
UE5 is powerful and has a load of extra features, that's true but not everybody's system has the possibility of running it.
The listed requriements that I can find are:
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD 2.5 GHz or faster
- Memory: 16GB
- Graphics Card: RTX 3070
There's a very real chance that when the move is complete, it won't run on many systems which might just start the inevitable decline in supporters.

Thanks friend, that basically answers my question. The good old bird-flip. Must've been a relatively recent change too.
That's a shame. Could've been an obvious choice for an early progression bookmark. But to be fair that's what being a WIP means. And the dev clearly has more pressing matters to attend to ... like making sure RTX 3070s can run the upcoming version
To be honest, I think someone with enough modding experience can fix most of the early to mid-game problems easily, clear up the gunk and provide a fleshed out fun experience which is shorter but sweeter. But then again, why would they?
Edit: As a post below indicates, the move to UE5 has been a no go, which renders my 3070 snark pointless, thankfully.
