Unreal Engine Breeders of the Nephelym [v0.761.58] [DerelictHelmsman]

Before i take another try at this game, how bad are the bugs right now?

Thanks in advance guys.

In versions 0.760.X, a lot of things are either broken or not working properly. If you play it, it's only out of curiosity. And so, you need to wait for a new Public build. Latest working version of

This game is dead(sadly) but:

When the abandoned tag?

Game not dead your just trolling

Game not dead your just trolling

The game actually did receive the abandoned tag, which this site's staff does not hand out lightly. That tag, once applied to a thread, is only removed if the game updates. Rather conveniently, the dev just happened to push the next update within a few days of the tag getting applied to this thread. After four months of nothing but the occasional statement about a UI update being a work in progress.

Still game not dead because I am in the Discord group

This whole back and forth you're having is about a post made roughly two months ago.
Sure, it's not abandoned NOW but for a while it did actually look dead.

Still game not dead because I am in the Discord group

I wasn't aware that your personal presence in the Discord group is what is keeping the game from dying. Shame on me, I guess.

In all seriousness, though. This game was tagged abandoned by the forum's moderators. It was tagged as abandoned due to going from a history of high frequency small updates to a history of low frequency, sporadic updates, to no updates for an extended period of time. The moderators do not apply the abandoned thread on a whim, because f95 is a very large forum and mislabeling a game can have a tangible negative impact on a developer's bottom line. Statements and information from a game's developer are taken into account when the tag is applied, and sometimes an "active" game gets tagged because, like this one, it appears that the author has suddenly stopped putting work into it despite claims to the contrary.

The tag is gone now. It is gone because the developer pushed an extremely buggy, very clearly unfinished update out the door well before it was ready. Derelict published that update within a few days of the game being marked as abandoned, and the state of the update says as much about what happened as the timing does.

So if I save on slot #13 whenever during the day, do my stuff, sleep and then fuck up the next day my autosave will be the #13 save?

i've only ever loaded from autosave once but im pretty sure thats how it works

The copium is stronk, especially when added with sunk cost fallacy in the mix

 

[Variablefig]

its the old one

The one on Github by LiquidBleh? How do you even open it? The xaml file tries to run internet explorer and then crashes, or self downloads on any other browser, and as far as I've seen there is zero documentation of how it's supposed to operate anywhere.

If it is LiquidBlehs one can you help me out? Or point me at the correct one if I have found some weird abandonware?

It's moderators that sound like they failed to validate by sending a message to the developer before making a abandoned tag. It all falls down to no commutation with people.

You misunderstand - if the moderators applied the tag despite the developer claiming they are still working on the project, it is because the moderators determined that there was a high chance that the developer was not, in fact, working on the project. Which is not all that unusual on this forum, unfortunately.

It's very easy for someone to say they are working on a project. That is why the forum's moderators refuse to remove the tag unless an actual update is provided.

Edit: Actually, I can be even more clear about this. The game and developer's history were taken into account when the abandoned tag was applied. When the abandoned tag is applied to a game that the developer claims is still being updated, it is because there is a significant risk that the developer has stopped actually working on the game and is instead coasting on existing subscriptions and donations. If the developer is telling the truth about still working on the game, they can typically push an update in short order (as Derelict did) in order to get the tag removed. The state of rushed updates like that also serve as an indicator of how things are going behind the scenes, too.

 

[Spillthebeans]

You guys are making it out more complicated than it is. When the abandoned tag is applied it's because the developer hasn't publically posted any updates over a certain period of time which is 3 months, I think? To my understanding it doesn't matter if it's paywalled or not, it just has to be visible where they sell their game e.g. patreon or steam. Most devs don't update their game to have a tag removed from a pirate site and moderators don't keep personal tabs on thousands of developers. Yes, some games go a long time without the abandoned tag but they do so for the same reason that they aren't updated to the latest version despite said version already being posted in the thread: no one is reporting it.

This is getting off topic now and discussion regarding the game being abandoned is moot, the dev isn't dead, the game isn't dead, it will continue to get slow updates that make the game more monotonous and we all like cbt. The end.

If Im honest, Ill rather see a game looking abandoned from quite a while then seeing an ACTUAL update that is fully playable than having a half baked ultra buggy one that needs a lot of hotfixes to be even baseline functional being released just so it doesnt feel abandoned not just here but across all platforms it is conmected

 

[SukebeDude]

They really need to work on early game, i immediately felt like i needed to cheat just to get past the slow start, i'd love to check out the new content but i also feel that cheating takes away a lot from the experience, especially in a game where progress is supposed to be the reward, and i'm not sure i'm willing to go through that the legit way, i'd rather just not play it again for the n'th time until something changes that sucks me back into the game.

I didn't know/realize that there were more then one save editor. So my bad, I was talking about (BotN tools) if that's what it's called. I should have taken a screenshot if I knew how to because that would save some time explaining

Thats what Ive been saying from quite a while. The game is awesome but the default progression has been going downhill since a bunch of updates ago and its not going any better. If you wanna enjoy it you have to cheat otherwise it keeps painfully boredom tedious.

But if you do so, you take a lot of the feeling like having earned things away so you end up having to choose if you wanna have sandboxy lazy fun or barely rewarding overwork?

 

[cell943]

Are cheats broken for anyone else on the latest posted version? The entry bar isn't in the settings menu for me, and pressing every key on the keyboard isn't bringing it up (not 1, not O, etc). Is there a new way to enter codes?

Edit: Ah, it's just ~ like in any other game now.

Hi, hope someone can help, where is the option to change clothes? the house only has the sleep option.

 

[RubyZeronyka]

This game really needs a boost in the options it offers for female characters (Not feminine and thus also futa ones, I mean the female-females), although I love futas and the options this game offers for futa characters, they have a huuuuuuuuuuuge advantage over females, and I dont mean just in the aspect of being able to get other nephs pregnant while able to get pregnant themselves. I mean the options they have for sex. With the vast majority of the nephs and blessed ones, futas have a bunch of options like fucking and getting fucked while females most of the times can only get fucked.

I know it's a breeding game but I think that we need to remember that the whole breeding comes WITH sex, and it's quite discouraging to play as a female when all you can do with a futa neph is suck them or get fucked by them while if you play as a futa, with that same futa neph you have double the possibilities. And if you go female on female, those options usually get reduced to just.... one. Two if you consider harvesting milk another. I can understand that lack of possibilities on males due to the dev lacking interest in developing those, but with regular females? Specially with the whole ball-less futas thingy?

IDK if this game is so futa oriented, but have females and futas, why not give females the option to have a strapon of sorts that you can activate at will so at least people get close to a similar amount of options as females as there is for futas? It would even help with the whole grinding for levels by sex process without having to deal with unwanted pregnancies.

But knowing the dev and his obsession to make his playerbase miserable I doubt that said things would ever come unless there's a massive drop in players, and thus income.
