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 :
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.)
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
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."
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.
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.
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
