Unreal Engine Carnal Instinct [2024-10-17] [Team Carnal Instinct]

[Dirgha]

If a few new quests and a new joinable faction aren't stimulating for you, I suspect this may just not be the game for you.

Their entire approach to the game development is wrong.

They keep adding random scenes, quests, and parts of the storyline here and there, instead of focusing on the game mechanics first of all.

As a result, everything is done haphazardly, in a half-assed way, be it "DSS" (a joke), or slavery system (started then postponed), or pregnancy content (seems forgotten), and so on.

Just think of it: they prefer to design each sex scene separately, assigning only one fixed position to it, without free camera in most cases (while free cam has always been in all UE games by default), without spectacular cumshots/creampies, etc.

At the same time, they tend to occasionally put the cart before the horse. In the UE4 version they announced crafting, weapon refining, artificial insemination, and whatnot. Now we don't see any of that, yet we've got fishing... (Seriously, I can't think of a more stupid thing in a PC game than fishing, but that's just me.)

tbh, not the response I was expecting. Most people who complain are just mad that they don't have more sex scenes or a gallery mode.

Honestly? I don't want them to touch the game mechanics. Anything they try to do something more complicated than "play a line of dialogue" they manage to fuck it up somehow, and sometimes they even screw up the dialogue because they don't do any QA and don't seem to have any programmers. I can't see them messing with the combat without breaking things. For example, every time they messed with combat in UE4 they managed to introduce crashes, twice with the exact same "oops, we forgot to assign an animation to jump + weapon usage" mistake.

That isn't to say I wouldn't be thrilled if they improved those. Just to say that I've been following this project for years and they have given me every reason to believe they can't be trusted to improve them successfully.

can we fuck the Inquisitors of Bast, and their leader or not

can we fuck the Inquisitors of Bast, and their leader or not

Fantastic question, to which the answer should be in the changelog that we haven't been provided. A cursory inspection of today's chatter on the discord seems to indicate that one of the two new DSS2 scenes does involve the inquisitors of bast. As for their leader? No idea, probably not. I imagine that will take more quests we've not seen yet.

And again all roads lead to one point, they don't have a single programmer.

Suddenly it almost sounds like you don't have faith in this project. Sooner or later they will have to face all the problems and it seems that Youtube UE tutorials are not enough.

Oh, I have faith in them. I firmly believe that if it involves QA and/or programming, that they'll find a way to do it wrong and then leave it unfixed for months at a time as users file multiple reports about the issue in their Discord. I can trust them to spend that time adding thousands of new little details to the map, then build a dungeon that players will get lost and stuck in because they don't really get the user experience side of map design. Oh, and maybe they'll implement a new character skin or a slightly different version of one of the weapons we already have.

And eventually, we'll get new quests to break, new scenes to lock ourselves out of, and new characters who ignore existing mechanics that the developers forgot they'd implemented.
