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

[STet]

Maybe a noob question but what exactly can you do with BotN Tools?

This is a save file editor. Previously, this program was called Radiant Save Editor, a later version BotN Tools 0.9.1 has been floating around the forum for a long time and is quite popular.
Description of its functionality in Russian (translate it yourself, Google will help, It will take a couple of seconds ):

P.S. Not being a native English speaker, I cannot vouch for the correctness of the translation. Moreover, not everyone needs a description in English, and each new translation will produce errors and inaccuracies.

Well shit, I was so close to collecting all the different types and was working on the Pride quest and my game save bugged out trying to load it up and now it's just a blank spot on the load screen. So frustrating xD. Might come back and try again another time in the future cause it's still pretty fun for what it is.

But in the end, DH is done with the game.. he still uses mental problem card for 3. year.. The game is so big to stop milking. I don't think he can add more after this point without a miracle or sell/give the game someone else.

Quoted for truth.

I have been following this game for a long time and what DH has been doing can be summed up as:

10 Release a playable demo
20 Get a bunch of bug reports and suggestions
30 Ignore them and release an update which adds more grind while wiping saves
40 If people aren't too pissed GOTO 20 else GOTO 50
50 CHOOSE_ANY_OF("Release an actual update that fixes something", "Start work on new engine / mechanics / whatever new fad and promise it's the best since sliced bread", "Cry about personal issues")
60 CHOOSE_ANY_OF("Wait for people to chill out", "Announce scraping of whatever new thing he was working on and resuming work on the main stuff", "Cry about real life issues")
70 GOTO 30

All the while milking the Patreons while not delivering anything substantial for at least last 3-4 years.

does anyone have a torrent link instead of the downloads?

For those who can't read RU I used GTranslate but can't confirm accuracy. Only took about 2min tops. Least I could do to help provide to the group.

This game is dead because apparently the one in charge of modelling and animating quit, so it's just Derelict (the programmer) coming up with bullshit minor patches and coding changes til people stop giving him money.

 

[SebTheSamMarten]

Not to beat a likely dead horse, but whenever I use the editing tools from github, the changes work (traits added to the breeder, breeder name changed, breeder race changed, etc) but Nephelym also stop spawning after applying the changes. I have no clue what might cause it, considering I'm just using the stock .py that comes with the editor, adding verbatim lines from the 'examples' link provided, and some extrapolation for additional edits (such as specific trait/stat names). It's really a shame, because having your breeder with Swift 3 does make traversal a bit less tedious, and Chubby/Slim/Meaty/Busty/Buxom do actually have effects on your appearance, provided you set them up during character creation to be different from your standard look. A reliable source of tier 3 traits is very useful to whittle down some of the early game grind, and it seems that it's only something you can do once you no longer care about capturing wild Nephelym any more, unless I somehow managed to do something VERY wrong.

Yeah most tweaks have been done solely to the UI for the last 2 years. Dere I think has been putting the game on backburner and isn't a modeler/animator which is why nothing new aside from tweaks to mechanics have been done. I was a backer and stopped for financial reasons until a serious update would release and it never came. I still enjoy the game and it's something you can play casually, but the latest Public build that released gives you everything in the game essentially and you don't need to buy anything unless you want access to his special channels on his server. So just enjoy what's out and know that nothing else will likely ever be added.

How was it found out the modeler/animator quit?

Hes making millions of dollars you think iff he actualy gave a s*** he couldnt hire a new one?!
The ammount of money hes making / month he could fly in an animator from Cleveland Ohio to Kualalumpur by a private jet and pay his logding and salry while laughing on a beach drinking pinacoladas....
He just doesnt give 2 **** beacuse the paypigs pay anyway.

that's a lot of money

 

[hazetrixstudio]

guys, i dont know if its a bug, but Chubby trait is bugged. I tried with all levels of chubby trait but none of them seems to be inheritable and also it sometimes comes along with meaty trait. It inherits the meaty trait, but no chubby trait.

 

[omp123]

can't wait for the next update in half a year that fixes bugs, introduces new bugs, tweaks the UI, and changes some mechanic in a drastic but non-meaningful way

this is exactly why they should stop supporting this game. The developer seems to wake up only when the abandoned tag comes out for fear of no longer receiving patreon subscriptions but it's disrespectful that to remove the abandoned tag he adds two bullshit things, he's taking the piss out of us big time...guys wake up don't support this game anymore because otherwise we have the opposite reaction

When I see shit like that, I absolutely get why so many people seem eager to jump onto the NSFW game dev train.

Did they finally establish some coherent and balanced gameplay loop to keep you invested in the...fucking gameplay...?
Or is it still the same type of "run around the world doing fetch quests and view some animations from time to time I guess" thing that gets boring after 15 minutes?

No, they actually made it worst.

I didn't mind coming on every now and then, breeding a few babies and then leaving but with the new system. Even I'm like "yeah, fuck that."

It's a safe, and sadly legal money making scheme. As long as they are careful about it, there's almost 0 repercussions from it.
