Unreal Engine Breeders of the Nephelym [v0.761.53] [DerelictHelmsman]

[Ed360]

Release Notes: 0.739 Alpha
This is more of a trial build than anything else. I tweaked the game design, and want feedback before going forward.
The intro quest was removed in favor of a simpler system. Collect keystones to open Cockblock Gates. Keystones are acquired from blessed ones by doing breeding requests or simple puzzles.
Note: only two are implemented in this build, so many areas are open by default. Once I get some feedback, I will continue implementing the rest of them.
Please share your thoughts in Discord.

• Tweaked game progression 1
• Fixed camera issues, and other small things

Looks like trial and error if people dont like it spend another month creating a new gameplay. Although I dare say that this one seems easier than the last one, and hopefully they like it because if not we are in an endless trial and error phase.

So please write is the best shit you've ever created

Well, most of these looks little weird, but birb and fox guy looks nicely as well. I hope they will be implemented in never versions someday.

And in this version, the Malakhims will be active already, or even wait a few versions until someone notices that they are totally dead. Goblins and Kerstels are also pretty lazy. Is there a problem with the AI?

Can you reupload that particular build?
I always wanted to breed lamias, but I guess DH dropped the idea because iT'lL bE A lOt oF wOrk tO aNimaTe foR nOn bIpEds

Yes, it will be a lot of work. At the moment the game uses one skeleton and one mesh (deformed and rezied) for animations involving characters of six different sizes. To cover all potential size combinations, one animation actually needs to be 36 different animations behind the scenes. To add a new skeleton, such as a lamia, you need to double it, to a total of 72 different animations for the same sex position. Let's say another skeleton is added, say a centaur. Congrats, the same sex position now requires 144 different animations to play. Want to add another? Congrats, now you're up to 288 animations.

This is the curse of breeder sims. This is why the developer has opted to reduce available content for the time. Every potential size combination, every body type combination, all of those need to be directly accounted for, by hand.

Lamias and other non-bipedal models, or additional potential sex positions. Pick one, because you're not getting both from a small-scale indie developer.

Edit: actually, my math was based on a flawed assumption that doubling the animation count would cover adding a new skeleton to the animation. This is only true if, to use the above example, lamias were only ever on one side of the animation. Seeing as this game is designed such that the breeding lets you pick who gives and who receives, every skeleton would actually quadruple the required animations. So adding lamias would take it from 36 to 144, adding centaurs after that would take it to 576, and adding another after that would take the required number of animations for the same position (to cover all potential combinations) all the way up to 2,304.

To use the game in its current state as an example, there are currently 79 different animations to account for in the existing sexual positions. (Compared to the 288 potential animations if all required slots were currently filled.) To properly add a lamia without noticeable issues with the animations or exempting them from a wide range of animations, another 237 animations need to be created. To add both lamias and centaurs (which were in the game's plans at one point or another, iirc), it would take 1,185 additional animations over what the game currently has. So please, tell me how that isn't actually a lot of work. I'd love to know your solution, because it's a solution that companies like EA, Activision, and Microsoft would pay a great deal of money for.

[Super242]

I get what you're saying. I don't have the solution myself. I'm mad (but not really) that he has all that income and refuses to get some help, he literally could make the game better than what it is right now while adding lamias in the process. He at some point said he refused to hire some people because they will be delivering shit ass low quality content and ripping him off or some ignorant bullshit like that, like really? That's an opinion, and a shitty one, he could literally hire professionals modelers, riggers, programmers you name it.
Just look the latest updates, home-boy is burnt out and doesn't know what he's doing.

There is a quest now, in which you have to reconnect the void with your world. Falene is the start point. For the rest you have to figure it out by yourself. ^^ It's not really difficult.

 

[KuramaSu]

Anyone know if the dxgi.dll problem on windows 7 machines was resolved on this new version, or is it still present?

 

[adambennett08330]

found out theres a 0.739 build with minor changes to questing. im interested in what will be added to the under water section. at the moment it reminds me of Vashj'ir in WoW without the mobs and just like Vashj'ir there should be a giant entity with tentacles. this is where mirru should be moved to since i see no point in where shes at right now and her model should be enlarged and tentacles should be longer as well. shes supposed to be queen of the sea so i see no reason not to do this. as for the game itself i like it so far but more content needs to be added like more monsters and maybe an option to customize clothing with option to buy more from vendor using the in-game currencies

"the lever doesn't move"
zero faith in this dev with that kind of addition.
laters.

A tentacle based blessed one is planned as are clothing options and more nephelym, I doubt the kraken will be changed though, the dev probably doesn't want to make the underwater area too spooky or dark with giant creatures lurking about. When you're playing a game primarily to jack off the last thing you want to add are things that trigger phobias such as Thalassophobia. Right now the dev is focused on adding progression and goals so we won't be seeing much in the way of other content for a while until that is completed.

 

[Asia Argento]

I noticed this on Itch.io. Looks promising, but is definitely a work in progress... I am now watching...

 

[Asia Argento]

Hmmm... after some time with this, have to say this has by far the best death scene in any game ever..... I think I jumped off high ledges at least 5 times...

Seemed like NPCs werent spawning. Someone said the Nephs you could capture were near the floating statues and i didnt see shit. IDK.

That's because the dev turned them all off behind a vague "puzzle" under the assumption (I assume) that everyone who plays this game monitors his discord as much as he does. He spelled it out clearly that you would have extra steps on discord along with some pretty obvious hints as what to do but his execution of it was absolutely abysmal within the game itself. I've got a little guide here on what to do and where to go. I think these changes would have been better received if he was more clear in that the statues are off, you need to talk and have sex with people to find out how to enable them but even still they never give you enough information on what to do other than "find a switch". Something as simple as "check around the town near lustwood" would have been enough.

Still, what he replaced that with sounds like an upgrade. We haven't gotten the update here yet but the next version removed all that and replaced it with a different system that utilizes breeding which, given the name and nature of the game, sounds like a better fit.

Here's a guide on how to progress in this new update.

All in all I enjoyed this update, if there's one complaint it's that the direction to the lever is a bit too vague, I just so happened to stumble across it while checking out the changes. The townsfolk could have more descriptive hints to give, at least enough to let you know to check around the base of the town outside.

I can not find the lever is it maybe somewhere else?

 

[Dereth]

Please. For the love of god. Tell me you are going to make that damn slime sex scene optional. I hate getting forced to do stuff like that. (I hate herm, tentacles and slime stuff.)

If not, this game just died for me.
