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

Still glad I got an old version. While I don't mind futa content much with a female character its a bit red flag for my male one. And that progression sounds like, unlike now, it will become mandatory unavoidable. :cautious:

One of the "issues" with this game, at least for me personally, is the egregious theming of "oh haha look almost everything's a sex reference." I already fuckin' know I'm playing a porn game, I don't need it bashed over my head constantly with fast-travel portals shaped like vaginas or areas named shit like "Moaning Crags" or "Pleasure Pastures." Doesn't help that sex seems to be about the only (meaningful) form of interaction with anything in the game, and there's no... quality to the dialogue or anything to make you invested in the sex scenes themselves. It also doesn't help (again) that the generic monsters you're going out and fucking have nothing going for them besides their appearance (and invisible stats and modifiers that you won't even know about until after you've acquired them.) Not to compare it to a big, "professionally-released game," but even generic Elder Scrolls bandits have more life and personality, and they only really exist to give the player an obstacle to defeat.
There's other games out there with even raunchier, more explicit content that manage to make things feel less stupid. Even fuggin' Corruption of Champions, where you had a variety of weird things trying to fuck you, still managed to play just enough parts of it seriously. "Everything in moderation" can be shit advice sometimes, but I'd say here it's totally justified.

Stupid question but are there snake monsters in the game? I see one on the promo picture... or I guess that's a snake monster.
There are but they can't be bred, you can fuck them, just not breed them.
Unless he removed them, i haven't played this game in months.

I will do the devil advocate on that one because there is still element in the game who might be a little itty bit too much for giving this impression that sex is everywhere but can be against your logic so : let's just sit a moment there for what you are saying icollectsouls :

There is a possibility to see all the stats of the girl befoire you capture them : You have to interact with the girl and then, like in the ranch, you have a little down arrow at the top right of the screen who can give everything

well the creature in the game lore (if we can say "lore" lel) always think about sex and as the first person you saw in the game said (don't know the correct words) it's suprising that they have a civilization as they basically fuck on a nearly minute basis everywhere and whenever they can. So if everything is about sex, i don't see a breaking point between the """"""story"""""" and the gameplay + level design.

True moderation is everything but consistency is also a thing. the creature don't speak because they are more feral than something else as the blue elf said except of the "woke" one who basicaly get a blessing to avoid being an animal and fuck like rabbits and with that blessing can build things (like house, economy...) so it's normal they don't have a lot of personnality.... yet. i can see for exemple bound between the creatures and you but the bound can't be more than a bound between a dog and a master or a cow and a farmer (with benefits..... thats weird but i don't have better exemple) and at some point like you so much than you can have it as a companion or it can help around the ranch. On this island, your are the only one who have a bigger self-control on sex and now we have a sort of gameplay mecanic to unlock the area which give a sort of new progression outside of the ranch production.

Maybe the game can be more serious but if we look at other game which have the same gameplay (breeding season or breeding farm for exemple, good one to see where we can go with that game with more time), however you can see something if you compare things between them. the dev have prioritise thing before others and some of your point is on the one the dev didn't do at first
The force of breeder of nephelym for now is : no loading / massive variety of animals / graphics / a basic "backstory" for the island who make kind of sens. / animation with no colision problem and good one (aka stationmaster for the one who know but well it's not dev fault if he wanted to see bigger than the engine limits) /
and of course the weak point : repetitive gameplay (but well we are here to breed but we can do something more i think) / the face..... The goddamn same FACE every fucking time / no other way to gain outside of semen and milk (fern don't give a enough to consider it as a source so i don't put it there) / no restrain or quest (like in the other breeding game with a debt or something) who give you a road to follow, there is only secondairy objectives and unlocking new creatures objectives but not as main objectives in any others games (do first creature - > give XXX milk and XXX semen of XXX to unlock selling semen....)./ items? anyone? sound of the wind and dust... well shit

here's what i have to said. Cheers and happy fapping or play time (or both)
n.b : sorry not sorry for that book to read and the bad english

well yes and no, "sugar wall before balls"? they have still the correct materials to do the quest as a men but it can be weird yes.... but not for me anymore (thank you internet and sfm artist)
isn't better with mandatory unlocks? because you have now some sort of objectives to reach and not wandering around like a goddamn mad man with his dick as a sword all the time...

To participate in all interactive scenes, your character must be a futa. It's a shame that the game ties you to the gender of the character ... I mean, for 4 years that the game was created, there is still no anal sex ... even as a milking scene ... even as training characteristics for yourself and creatures... it's always breeding ... even if you don't want to breed right now ... you can only have classic sex to raise the stats of the creature and yourself, and at the same time a creature can be born that you don't need now...

The problem are not the objectives and unlocks itself (unless they have to be repeated every time a new version comes along). I'm all for some quests and story and levels/skills/unlocks that leads to becoming stronger. The problem is lack of options leading to turnoff sex with NPCs. Maybe Fern can be made into some kind of personal assistant who can accompany you; she is hungry all the time an I would have no problem watching Neko bang her.

Another alternative would be the no-futa option (that still in there?) would turn the futas into woman without extras.

Although I prefer the first option; have them in game but don't need to bang them to proceed if I don't want to.

Honars said exactly what already pissed me off before. But i were kind of accepting it. I just didn't bother as long as i were able to still have a choice on what to do and what i don't want to see.
But with the recent game progression changes, that choice got taken away from the player. Unless something changed now, forcing the player to get (in my eyes) raped by some tentacle slime monster thingy just to be able to finally do what you did already years now is just awful game design for me.

Maybe i don't want some tentacle slime.. whatever thing to shove things in my characters rectum? Like someone else said "Then just skip the scene."
Yeah sure. Then it didn't happen, right? Not like you try to immerse yourself somewhat into games at least somewhat, right?
So it surely doesn't bother you, knowing that even if you skipped it, some tentacle slime bastich just raped you. (Small hint. It does bother me to the point that i stopped playing.)
I already were extremely disappointed in the capture mechanics being drastically changed to apoint, where you are again forced to do things you don't want to do, should you want to capture different monsters.
But even there i tried to cope somewhat with it by just accepting that i don't get everything in the game.
Now i can't get anything unless i let myself get raped in the game.

No thanks. Same to the whole herm/futa/dickgirl fuckwhatever bs. (And yes. I had a awful day today and it just gets worse and worse by the minute)

Honestly, I like this game. I know people give it a lot of shit and I fully understand why, but for the most part I'm ok with development. Sure it's a bit of a pain in the ass since story progression has been added but it's not that serious. If anything, I'm kinda pissed that I can't catch me a wild titty pony to breed. What kind of shit is that? Seriously though, the dev works hard on the game and I appreciate his work. Having to restart after every update is cancer though.

That said, if I were to criticize some things, other than the need to restart every update, these would be it...
  • Surprise sex. I like the concept but I'm not really a fan of being forced into it. Basically, I like being able to initiate it but I don't like being on the receiving end. Primarily because there is no real point in it and it takes around a minute or more for the interaction to end and it cant be sped up. When the breeder initiates surprise sex the end result, if won, is that you refill lust and have the option to catch the nephelym. However, if the nephelym initiates it, you lose lust and... that's it. To that degree it's more of a detriment than anything. Which might have been your point but... it's kinda lame. Although I have noticed that sometimes you can catch the nephelym afterwards. Seems to be random.
  • Movement. You should be able to toggle auto run on or off instead of having to hold down a run key. This is just a quality of life thing as it's a pain in the ass to have to hold down a run key. Especially since I never walk because it takes too damn long to get around that way.
  • Catching nephelym. It would be nice if you could see a nephelym's traits before sending them to a barn. Pretty self explanatory but it doesn't really matter much. It would just make things a tad bit more convenient.
  • Selling nephelym. Getting orgasium, or "shiny" as Fern calls it, is now a pure pain in the ass. Sure you can sell milk/sperm but that's hella time consuming. As such, when selling nephelym to the angel, I forget her name, you should have the option to sell for either orgasium or favor.
  • Trading. Lastly, this is more of a I would like to see this in game kind of thing but I read that there will be no "multiplayer". Although I don't think that's the right word and the word I want to use escapes me. Anyway, I would love if it would be possible to trade nephelym with other players but I really don't see how to make that work so I don't actually expect it to be implemented in game. It would just be awesome if it were possible. I tend to breed a specific traits in all my nephelym (busty, buxom, debauched, divergent, fertile, gaudy, hung "if applicable", nurturing, nympho, slender, and valuable). It's a chore but eventually I get all those traits into a few studs and uh.... I'll just call em matriarchs. If I can get swift, slick, juicy, and/or charmer in there I will but they aren't my main priority. it would just be interesting to see what kind of nephelym other people breed. But again, I really don't see this happening. Which kinda sucks.

I could probably think of some more things but like I said, I like the game. So keep adding content and I'm happy to play your creation. It's basically Pokemon without the battling and lots of sex. Gotta catch and fuck em all! What's not to like?

You no longer have to do that. That was a turn off for me as well. Had I been the breeder I would've told the angel "I guess the nehpelym are just gonna have to die cause I'm definitely not fucking that thing." You better send me back or I'm setting this world on fire! Lol.
