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

Great game with great potential, Really hope to see this game Improve even more by adding more sound,sex scenes,missions,ares to explore, characters, more character customization and stuff,more races,more variety of breeds,more traits,optimizations.

Unfinished 3d breeding game. It would be 5/5 when character customization finished and more races completed. Some of them, like lamias and centaurs are still unique NPCs.

Gameplay is kind of clone of earlier "Breeding season" game with same pros and cons.

I used to like this game but now playing it again after a few months it has lost most of my interest...

The breeding requests doesn't make sense for example I got several "go get hybrids of kind x lvl 14 and Demons lvl 12 very early in the game. Which that early in the game is impossible because to begin with the area to get the monsters are locked down behind a stone gate. For comparison on level requirements the highest level I managed to get a monster this time using the "infinite lust" cheat was 12 or something and then I let a male Vulwarg make around 40 females pregnant and as impregnation isn't 100% you can get how many times he tried... I had troubles providing the two quest NPCs with their requirements. Even if it was possible to complete these erquests the player has to grind the favours needed to unlock the animations (which only covers a few of the different body sizes. As far as I'm aware the animations and match ups hasn't changed for over a year).
But these favours are gained by trading monsters...

The ability to change to spirit form was a nice feature, but as much with this game it hasn't been implemented fully yet. For example not all hybrids are available for some reason, but it's probably because DerelictHelmsman hasn't thought up on how to solve the flying as this would circumvent his "lock down" of areas with the stones to steer the game in a odd way(see Breeding requests above)

The stats of the monsters doesn't seem to do anything and the basic monsters doesn't gain traits even though I maxed out the trait level on my character. Instead it seems monsters are actually losing traits...
Some other things like loyalty doesn't make much sense either at this point. You can breed above the set 60 monster limit and after a while monsters will escape. But seeing it will take from here to next decade to grind the loyalty to 100% when not using the "infinite lust" cheat I don't know if it will work properly.

There are housing which contains one race which make sense. The sylvanas and hybrids are cramped into one building. For example the Sylvanas would require 240 spots in the house/barn but only have 60...
For the hybrids it would require 960 if the amount would be the same for all races. I don't agree on just grouping them up like this, it's sloppy...

As the monsters lose stats when breeding the best way of collecting new monsters with interesting traits are to grind them in the wilderness, anyone else see a problem here?

The graphics are stunning, but very taxing. The game needs to have an option to tweak the graphics and some more optimization. I have a GTX 1050 and the game grinds to almost a complete stop in Lustwood. The grass, furries and running water is to blame I think.

I have a mixed feeling that we are forced to use the Futas, "no plans" it say on almost all monsters for a male variant. Sure we can breed with other monster which have male variants or play as a male, but then we miss half or more of the traits because the humans doesn't have any.

So basically DerelictHelmsman, make up your mind with this game.
For my part I'll wait now until the complete version is released.
I spent a few days now(not in total) to complete the content in this version, fearing that I have to do everything all over again as saves are incompatible between versions.
When the complete version is done I'll get back and see if the game has changed for the better.

Rated: 3/5
Based on: v0.740

I like everything, but it has very few features and content. As soon as the money is available, I will support the author. More you need to enter the ability to customize the character and diversify the monsters and interaction

I've been following the game for over a year. Derelict created an original lore, added a lot of different things and I loved it. Currently, I can easily say that it is one of the greatest furry porn games that you can find. Easily say that it is the best 3D furry experience you can get. Overall, of course there are some cons but pros basically erase them from your mind. With the current support he is getting right now, you can also realize that he keeps the updates to date, enlarges the gameplay as the supporters and players ideas and gives you a great experience. Even though I wish the old, special animations for each race x race; I also know that it is kind of impossible without a company. It is a must play game if you like furry games with pregnancy, slight management features and a great gameplay.

This game has a GREAT premise and an even greater potential. I've been looking for a perverted farming game and this is the closest I've attained, so I eagerly look forward to it's completion.

There are some things need to be addressed before it's completion, though. The monetary/stats system are currently pointless. This can be rectified by:

Instead of just randomly running up to a breeding ground, there should be a re-skinned version "boss." Nothing complex, but something to unlock the breeding ground; with every subsequent boss requiring a differing "item" or Sex position to "defeat." It would give credence to the stats system.

Defeating said boss should be a sexual act. Making them orgasm, etc. Be perverted. Since these re-skinned bosses are larger you will require certain animals to pleasure her simultaneously. Like foxes sucking the cow's nipples while you pound her pussy.

Orgasming should NOT be achieved through mindlessly clicking. Unlocking other positions should be the key and SWITCHING positions. The orgasm bar will begin to deflate when you're NOT pounding hard enough or the position is not working. A list of positions (unlocked) should be on the side so you can switch quickly. Bringing your tamed monsters to help should make them orgasm quicker.

Being able to "use" your captures in meaningful ways. For one example: Interbreeding species should be used to unlock unattainable areas. Like a giant and a dragon can give you a flying "ride-able" mount.

Toys. Needs sex toys. The kinkier the better. A telescope/binoculars to see "stats/traits" of animals from afar.

Waifus. Needs waifus. That can be helpful around the farm. Polygamy NEEDS to be an option. Being able to decorate your home will justify the monetary system beyond just buying barns. There's currently no "milk all" option and clicking that 60 times gets old QUICK.

The barns need idle animations to indicate which ones have animals. Nothing fancy, but a harpy swinging in her cage. Or a neko lounging on the roof. A giant is masturbating. The more idles, the fuller the barn.

Impact/consequences. There aren't any. When you have sex with the "sentient" beings it does NOT impact the game at all. There are no transitions. You're just having sex and if you're in a breeding zone. There's a good chance other NPCs will block the camera while you're trying to have sex. The water in the Slime Zone is the best example. For this reason there needs to be a "void" zone (or whatever you want to call it) to eliminate distractions.

Make it controller friendly and add interfaces over NPC/objects to indicate which button to push.

Basically combine "Harvest Moon" & "Final Fantasy" and "rule 34" the shit out of it. It would be a 5 star game, easily.

Actually it’s a nice game. I played it for hours to see where its limits were. And I found some, for example, it lacks a little bit of logic. Of course it does, it’s a game. But in the same time, it is a game that tends to make you think the output will be logical, with all the fuss around stats and traits and request for each one, etc. etc. But, it’s definitely not logical.



The breeding system doesn’t make any sense. I explored it for a long time and made many experiments:

There are species that can’t stand incest, even with the trait “20%luck of not being malformed”. For example, demon/demon that goes sterile after the 3rd or 4th generation.

And, on the other hand, other species that don’t seem to be affected: I bred Elves and Lykos with the same father for 13 generations without any problem of sterility.



The other main problem is the stats creation of the offspring. The traits are only added or replaced without any logic: actually if a trait is dominant it should stay, whenever you reproduce it. And it becomes more and more difficult to program a game as it tends to be at least logical.

With my breeding-elves-experiment, I saw that the daughter kept all of her mother’s and father’s traits (as if they were all dominant), but would lose none, even if the father (who was the same at each generation) had far less traits than the mother.

It applies also to her visual aspect: the daughter would not resemble more her father (when she should, because her genome was nearer and nearer to her father’s at each generation).

In the end, and maybe it’s the worst, when you breed Nephelym, their stats will totally be random. As a result, you are forced to level their stats up in the homestead, so you can later on, sell them for a ridiculous price when you have the specific request… By the way, the requests are totally insane, you must give out Nephelym you trained hard (sometimes up to LVL 12, when you find them at LVL 3) or Nehpelym hard to come by, such as hybrids (I noticed that the ratio of hybrids was more like 25% than 40%, as stated in guides). So, it means, breeding is of no use to get Nephelym with better stats for these stats are generated randomly. Marvellous …

So to train them, you must breed them, but when they are pregnant, you cannot train them anymore… So you must train them with a sterile partner, that you must create after 4 generations of incest breeding (it’s 16 in-game days, so a lot). Logical…





Another point that troubles me is that you can’t get NPC’s pregnant. Within the homestead, you can cross whatever Nephelym you want with another one (incest or not) or with the breeder. There is a barn for hybrids, so where the problem? Actually, there is one NPC that gets pregnant: the alraune. And she ends up pregnant with blowjobs… 100 blowjobs… that’s a total waste of in-game energy and time. (Dude, what the hell went through your head that day, to have such an idea…)

Also, maybe a 4-in-game-days pregnancy is a little too fast. You can barely manage your barns without losing time: you must walk in all directions all the time to define if one can stay or must leave.

Portals are a great idea, but they are all misplaced (except maybe the sylvan one). You actually lose a lot of time, because they are never in the centre of activities. You could point out it’s intentional (and it may be so), but then it’s nonsense, the game is already too difficult and you already lose enough time, not to spend more trying to reach the next portal.

At last, I’d say the game is incredibly difficult. All the hard work is rewarded with peanuts (hard requests for barely 1000 Org). And rewards are limited in the in-game time and resources (Camilla and Mae sell for not more than 4000 Org, in the best days). So you can definitely not make a stack of money, even if you work yourself to the bone.

No wonder there is a cheat mod. The challenges are so hard or long to achieve, you may lose patience. Cheat mod is a sign challenges are far too great for players not to be bored within a few hours. Maybe the dev will understand it one day…
And the UI is to be totally reshaped/created.





So it’s a funny game, with incredible visual effects. But the visual aspect is not enough. If you want to make people dream, you must give them what you promised, and if your game tends to seem logical, when it is less than other less funded breeding games, you’ll only satisfy the desires of few.

Actually I like it very much. It is a very good breeding game,but it lacks content and history. As others said, there is only here a beautiful backbone with no meat. It could definitely be better. In the future I hope devs will try to improve its breeding logic and scenario, instead of focusing on the visual aspect.



(Maybe it’s the free version that makes my judgement wrong, but with that version as advertising, I definitely don’t want to buy the game).

Really great game, Breeding season vibes, good art, lots of possibilites already yet... there is something missing but i cant pinpoint what...

+ great art
+ lovely world although some places can use more detailed work
+ harvesting milk/cum ( add squirt maybe?)
+ breeding, breeding, breeding...
+ great animations but there are only few so far
+ great variety of creatures/monsters
+ no fall damage
+ the character creation system is very detailed

- most of the creatures looks the same, they just have wings added or some tattooes and stuff like that (the alien-like creatures are dope tho)
- low number of male monsters (literaly like... 1 out of 10 spawns is male)
- non incestual (when you have a large amount of monsters, its kind of tough to produce more if they are all related somehow)
- could use some additional tasks or simply stuff to do (idk, build yourself a better house, gather some herbs to craft fertility potions, stuff like that. the breeding is good but if players are doing the same exact thing over and over again, even the best things gets boring over time)

all in all, considering its a work of 1! guy... you fckin rock dude. keep it coming

Pretty solid game. It keeps you interested with breeding function. Species inherit the behaviours and mixed up appearance of their ancestors. You go out of your ranch to jungle and monsters come to you, you have sex with them and after they cum you catch them, milk them on your ranch of breed them with other species. Females are kinda tricky to catch. Game looks smooth and beautiful(reminds me of Overwatch graphics). It has character creation and bunch of subjects to have sex with. Sex positions don't have too much variety(or I haven't discovered yet) but they're quite hot.

I was about to give 4 but then I remembered how the game hooked me up with it's gameplay, I decided to give 5/5. Even if you don't like furries I'd still say give it a try. I personally am not a huge fan of furries but i don't hate them as well. I got a wide range of variety when it comes to fetishes(except for guro) but I digress.

Introduction
Breeders of the Nephelym is a 3D adult adventure, in which you Catch and Breed various kinds of monster species, so called Nephelym in an open world environment.

Pro's
- Very detailled character-creation with lots of possibilities
- Interesting combination of story and gameplay; e.g.: pregnancy is not a biological thing in this universe, but a magical one (in the womb of the women, the void creates a new beeing etc.)
- Beautiful, non-violent story that creates feelings of wellbeing
- A lot of different Nephelym to catch and breed
--> Colorful, creative design with different body types and sizes
--> Beautiful graphics with good animations, different sex-positions (depending on bodysize for example)
--> Breeding and milking is done well, pregnancy looks realistic
- Ressource-system (quite simple: milk, semen, orgasmium and favor)
- Npc's (funny conversations and possibilities of interaction [like buying and sex])
- Attributes, leveling, character trades etc.
- Sound is ok, but not awesome...*
- Really appealing environment, various landscapes (snow, desert, caverns etc.)
- Organising a breeding farm, with structures and nephelym

Con's
- The energy (lust) at the beginning of the game can be frustrating, because its so fast to deplete. If it is depleted, you must walk back to your town and sleep
--> Directly at the beginning it can take away some fun
- Not real guide or tutorial
- The creation of hybrid-nephelym is quite a trial-and-error procedure
- Sometimes, the game gets extremly dark in caves (while testing, I wasn't able to see anything)
- No worldmap
- *... a lot of sounds are not implemented yet
- Only anthros/human-like nephelym (looks like they are cosplaying)
--> Not a lot of male beeings

Wishes for the future:
- More nephelym with non-human traits and appropriate sex-positions
--> Beastiality or plant's/tentacle for example
- Real tutorial
- Expanding story
- More sounds
- Resting or potions to refill lust
- Recipes for hybrid-combinations (?) or a bestiary

Conclusion
Breeders of the Nephelym is quite a experience. On the journey to fulfill the goddess will, the way is, unfortunately, paved with some inconveniences.
With more time and the ambition to listen to community-voices, this game can be even more of a gem.
Also: my lust to write more has depleted now, I need some rest.

Personal opinion
i like very mouch , the big problem is the lake of history no missions
good varity of charecters but feels empty .

It reminds me Breeding season but just in 3d.
I wish they also make shotas in the future just like Breeding season was going to do calling them neoteny, before they abandon the work. It would be good if Breeders of Nephelym has the same feature in the future. Also I hope in the future except Shotas, we are going to have a story, and even battles. Cause now it feels like its empty.

Well first im gonna start by thanking DerelictHelmsman for his outstanding work and of course unreal engine (renpy engine is a lost cause) for this game has a lot of potential.



I have to admit that the first thing that popped into my head when l started playing was "just a who fucks who game" phrase but as I said before this game has a lot of potential.

It just need some ideas and guess who can give best ideas for games? Gamers, I mean real gamers the ones who play real games, not the games that you jerk off to and 5 second later you completely forget about it until the next time you get all horny.



Of course I consider myself a real gamer and guess what I have some ideas that I hope consider useful.



1. Combat system (It doesn't have to be a good one, a simple one will suffice)

2. a Crafting menu that can be used for crafting items like hair dye, potions, weapons and armor etc (some items can only be used by certain races like bows only for elves and humans or sharp nails for warges)

3. Special and rare or legendary creatures for every species that are one of the kind and they can only captured once and they are very hard to find and catch

4. Skill menu or tree for unlocking abilities like crafting certain items or ability to add/remove certain traits for certain cost of materials or even turning wild ones to blessed ones

5. Customizing appearance of captured creatures via items like hair dye and body part changing size potions that can be crafted

6. Capturing creatures by combating them or their mates instead of giving them drinks (it's just very easy and inconvenient to capture them by giving them milk and also it's kinda silly that they are all horny and don't fuck each other instead of just jumping on the main character)

7. Certain abilities for every species like fire breath and flying ability for dragons and extra health and stamina for bulls or extra damage for warges and it also should apply for spirit form of the character

8. Multiple saved spirit from for character that can be upgraded via skill tree activate by player preference on anytime

9. Story line not just main story line also side ones with the npcs

10. There is no adult game that considers great without threesome and orgies

11. Changeable size for spirit form with items (size changing potions for instance)

12. All offerings should have a minimum percentage of being infertile and more for incest offerings (60% I think) instead of being always infertile and of course ability to remove it

13. Upgradeable barn (60 capacity at maximum upgrade)

14. Roaming random captured creatures around the ranch instead of being just in the barn

15. Upkeep cost of creatures (they have to eat right?)

16. Having companion (they have to be blessed) in combats and exploration of the world

17. Applying jobs for blessed creatures of your ranch (like fern that give bj for harvesting semen)

18. Harvesting materials from the beautiful world of the game



And also it's a pity that the game is under develop since 2017 and still is on its early stage my suggestion for DerelictHelmsman is hiring more devs (I mean come on main character still sprint funny and some spices still don't have male gender). Don't get me wrong dev done a great job so far, it's just take a lot of effort and time to fully develop a good game (real game not just who fucks who game) and by the time its finished its methods and graphics and all the things that game offers are outdated and no one buy it

Good:

• Based on Breeding Season -- an abandoned masterpiece
• Futa option so no males
• 1 person is making this! Lone hero.

Nope:

• Needs more written content to expand the world. The other sentient characters only offer 1 maybe 2 dialogue interactions.
• Breeding Season did it better -- more interactions, more dialogue, more events, better immersion, so many memories.
• Randomly-generated body-types means a LOT of really fat, obese pets. Turning "random bodytypes" off makes the females the same shape.

The breeding game genre is one that can go sideways fast but this is a lot of fun. It doe not feel frindy, and the softness to the character design is great. As with an Unreal game on a not so fast system there is lag but it has never been so bad as to ruin the gameplay. Favorite part so far is the variety, I currently have a Titan sized Catgirl and a about a dozen hybrids. Hoping for more NPCs or an eventual storyline but even without it this is just fun from the mix an match standpoint

This rating is for [v0.724 Alpha]
Might change as updates comes.

To start it off, i've been following this for a while now and it's everything that i hoped for.

Good points;
-Be it Furries, Scalies, Avians or else, you're covered. There's for everyone's taste in that matter, be it fully furry or just neko style (watch that it is still limited so far to some races).
-Map is gorgeous and pretty big with still a fast travel option unlock-able by fucking a Lamia at each teleport points.
-Models are on point, i would prefer some more variations in the boobs but it's good nevertheless. Same goes with the penises, there's choices, but still would like some more.

Things to watch out for;
- Very heavy on the CPU at high res.
- The fur effects are pretty laggy so try not to zoom on it too much if you don't have a strong PC.
- Low res does trash a bit of the creatures' skins/details like the scales.
-Character creator is hard to comprehend for new players.

Gameplay in succinct;
Easy to get, the elf at the start gets you a quick idea on how things work, going in the village on top will complete that knowledge by talking to the NPCs. Different ways to capture a creature by either using milk and semen or just beat it in a quick fuck. Just watch for your stamina. You go around the map and look for spawn areas that are marked by big ass (literally) angel statues floating above an open area.

Note, there's a way to play as a customisable furry by using an in-game cheat and just use the "beastification" non stop as it is usually limited in time.

So in short, if you like furries and monster girls/men. In a kinda gotta catch them all style then breed them. Go ahead. If you don't ? Then why the heck are you in this website m8 ?

This is my favorite game on this site! The 3d graphics and physics are stunning!

The only con i can mention is of course the lack of music and sounds... it makes a game a bit weird, altough playing your own music while the game is running is still an option until the dev implements some...

The lack of sound is a bit odd but visually and just quality wise of the models I can't complain. Overall I like the concepts and what the dev has done so far. Highly recommend people give it a try if the tags fit your interests. :3

What I liked and why:
The environment
I love the style of the game, from the glowing runes on the trees, the statues of well endowed women with waterfalls coming from their nipples, to the vagina portals you use for fast travel. The game has a fairy tale style that isn't trying to be too serious, it's a treat to look at.

What I didn't like (yeah that was quick) and why:
The animations
Disregarding the fact that this far in we still don't have much animation variety (a few have been removed, actually), what's there is just boring. You have basically two animations per position: Pumping and cumming. It's brief and frankly just overall unsatisfying to look at. Playing as a male I've noticed that his penis seems to change shape depending on the size of the partner and when he pumps it doesn't really look like he "enters" rather his dick just stretches out and inward. The animations themselves feel very robotic, the way they swing back and fourth doesn't look quite right but it isn't something I can really explain.

The character models
I feel bad putting this here because I actually like the body types they have here though some get a little too big for my tastes. What I mean specifically is the sameness of all the different races. Almost all females barring the exotics look the same but with different animal accessories. The demons have horns and purple/blue skin, the cats have cat ears and paw gloves but they all share the same body, face, and usually hair. It feels like every "monster" is the same person just wearing a different outfit.

The gameplay or lack thereof
Since adding surprise sex the game has become even more simple. Before, each nephelym liked either a particular semen or milk from another neph. You had to figure out which to feed them in order to capture them. Now? Surprise sex and wear your mouse out by clicking to keep one meter from filling while another fills, then they're yours. You still have to use milk/semen for same sex capturing but a seduce option is on the way for female breeders. Even before this change there still wasn't much in the way of goals or content beyond breeding for the sake of breeding. You have traits which help in creating interesting combos such as fat giant elves or skinny mini titans but none of the races look distinct enough from one another to allow something truly wild. There are hybrids but, again, they look like the same chick just wearing mixed up animal accessories. If you play without using cheats this is the current progression: Build a foxen/vulwarg house, capture a few, sell milk/cum until you have enough for another housing, rinse and repeat.

TLDR: I like the way the world looks but the game is barren with samey models and lackluster animations, gameplay is nonexistent which can be fixed with time but the models and animation style are here to stay, bringing the game down in my opinion.
