He's redesigning the UI rather than doing anything actually worthwhile.
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.

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

Breeders of the Nephelym (BOTN) Incest Patcher

THE PATCHER IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE

You can easily enable incest in the game as shown below:


OVERVIEW:
A file named imma.degenerate needs to be in the same folder as OBF.exe.​
  • It does not need to contain anything.
  • It must be the same folder as OBF.exe.
  • The filename is imma and the extension is degenerate.
It doesn't matter what creates the file, it should work as long as the filename/extension is correct.

METHOD 1:
In the folder where OBF.exe is located, create a file called imma.degenerate (be sure to enable show file extensions if you're using Windows explorer). The file does not need to contain anything.​
METHOD 2:
Command Prompt:
In the folder where OBF.exe is located, type echo. > imma.degenerate and you'll be all set.​
Command Prompt (PowerShell) :
In the folder where OBF.exe is located, type New-Item -Path . -Name "imma.degenerate" -ItemType "file" and you'll be all set.​
I'm not sure how long this will work and I think it would be best for all of us to not mention it on Patreon (or DH's Discord) especially.​
This works with the Steam version as well but if your Steam library is in Program Files, you'll need administrative rights to create the file on Windows 10. Please follow the Steam instructions below if you need help.​
STEAM:
For Steam, this gets a bit more complex because of the higher security present in Program Files.​
  • Open a "Command Prompt" or "Command Prompt (Powershell)", you'll need to run either as Administrator. (NOTE: Windows Terminal generally won't let you start an Administrator session).
  • Depending on your settings, you'll may get a elevation prompt. Accept it to continue.
  • The following step assumes the default location for the game folder. If your Steam library is installed somewhere else you'll need to use the correct path: pushd "%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Breeders of the Nephelym Alpha" (Powershell: cd "$Env:SystemDrive\Program Files (x86))\Steam\steamapps\common\Breeders of the Nephelym Alpha")
  • Now you just need to create the file: echo. > imma.degenerate (Powershell: New-Item -Path . -Name "imma.degenerate" -ItemType "file")
  • Close the command window/powershell: exit
The patcher will eventually return with support for this for a few reasons:​
  • There's no telling how long this will work and we may be back to patching soon.
  • If people use a patcher for something so simple it may help hide this from Patreon from that much longer.
  • Some users may just find it it easier. Obviously if it's using the file method, it will not actually be doing any patching at all. Just creating (or removing) a file as directed.
  • The patcher is, unfortunately, not my highest priority at the moment.
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.
