Unreal Engine Carnal Instinct [v0.7.0] [Team Carnal Instinct]

It seems like there are a lot of impatient people in these threads.
There's a whole initial quest line before you get your body. Once you get that far you get a fairly decent character creator, and people you can have sex with are marked on the map. You can't just fuck anyone randomly anymore.

I was lost at the beginning: the game starts in a very remote area and the more you try to advance on the map towards populated areas, the screen goes dark and a message appears that the area is under development.

If I wanted an adventure game, I would be looking on Steam, or some platform like that. Here we want hentai games. We don't want a warrior, we want a whore. We want sex.

Yet it IS the feature which they should have started with, to keep it for the rest of the game. But now it's gone, who knows for how long?

Just think of it: it is a fantasy game dedicated to the world full of lust and unconstrained sex. Common sense dictates that developers should start by developing random encounter mechanics. Something that takes a couple of moves to initiate, with an option to switch positions, and with free camera of course.

Instead of that, they are making a generic mainstream game that has sex scenes as a built-in bonus, and each of them is designed and scripted separately. And the quests and other conditions that make those scenes available, are another story.

Just think of it: you, being a gorgeous character in sexy clothes, have to cross half the world just to talk someone into having sex, while all the presumably horny people around are plainly ignoring you. If it was real, I'd find their lack of interest quite offending.
(Wait, did I just say "realism in a PC game"? )

You make a sex character to play an erotic game and the NPCs are celibate.

Just for a change, you might like to check out this game (it's almost finished):

Its protagonist thinks she's a warrior (and indeed, at first she has to fight her way out of the starting dungeon, whereas every lost fight ends up with a rape) but she turns to a whore very soon, to discover all kinds of kinky sex and all that stuff.

I'm not impatient I just don't like having to replay the same tedious intro quest every single update or restart which I learned the hard way after bricking multiple saves with bugged quests.

Also they did add an island specifically to function as a gallery but they just didn't put every scene in it for some reason.

which version do you suggest I should play

which version do you suggest I should play

If you dant wanna facepalm yourself to coma because of bugs and stupid restrictions - play UE4. It takes a few days to complete.
And then maybe Subverse releases and maybe, aurelia too. Then there supposed to be complete version of Warlock and Boobs next year. While you play them, you can forget about Carnal instinct for a while - and then MAAAAYBE after a year or two you can try a fresh version of... Wild Life. After some intense playing there is possibility you will want to take a break, maybe go on vacation. And after returning home you can search for Carnal Instinct and pray, there will be enough content to compare it to UE4 build and enough testing done so you can actually play it without breaking a game twice an hour.

Love that nearly all UE4 projects jumped to UE5 and are now unplayable or are missing over 50% of their content. Devs just looking to pretend they're doing something useful.

All that good shit they were spouting about how UE5 was "more efficient" was really hot air, huh?

Carnal Instinct is at least making progress, though. October was a pretty big update. Maybe not scene-wise, but definitely game-wise.

I love how in the first few patreon builds for this update, one of the new scenes involved an NPC rapidly vibrating against a table. Yes, it's a silly bug that ruined the scene but it also means that they're actually using their physics system in that scene and just had some placement issues.

...speaking of, did they manage to fix that for Steam or do you guys get the same bug?

I have it bought on Steam, and I haven't noticed any rapid vibrations

They were fed bullshit about Epic's marketing of UE5 which blared optimisation nonsense then they found out the hard way that those "optimisations" are nothing more than corner-cutting methods to squeeze out 10 more FPS in a game that runs at 20 FPS originally.
NONE of the performance features of UE5 do a damn thing for optimisation besides some half-baked, lazy, noob-worthy slight improvements that only happen if your game is already in a DIRE state with no optimisation applied to it at all.

You must be registered to see the links

goes into detail about this.
All those devs that jumped ship to UE5 are either, in reality, completely incompetent when it comes to visual optimisation, or took advantage of it to pretend like they're working.
In the end it's the fault of the patreon donors that keep donating even though the project is making marginal progress.

so whats the defrence between Unreal4 and unreal5 as in content and things to do ?

 

[Dingickso]

5 more years and maybe the UE5 version will reach the UE4 content or not, cause at this rate its more like +10 years. but then again they will redo everything in UE6.

 

[ojae]

idk what im doing wrong but cum doesnt stick to anyone unlike what the latest update suggests

When the UE5 version reaches UE4's amount of content, the dev will want to port the game to UE6, while still being a completely mediocre programmer.

At this point the bugs are bigger threat than the fucking enemies in this game, managed to sent myself to the shadowrealm when mounting the horse?goat?antilope whatever thefuck is the animal, ok you can recover from that by unmounting.
whats the opposite of QOL elements? as the game has those in droves?

Can someone tell me if there is any chance of recovery when fucking up sailing on boat ? My char was happily impersonating a submarine and i couldnt do shit about it and had to reload a save.

Also another thing, anyone had a NPC lock on them and prevent them from interacting with them again after sex?

As you might have guessed i had wonderful experience in the new ue5 version, -20fps compared to ue4 is not to be mentioned.

anything new with pregnancy content?

 

[Dirgha]

anything new with pregnancy content?

No, absolutely nothing new.

They couldn't even manage something as trivial as enabling the impregnation counter in the character stats menu.

 

[lyla_anonimatun]

The development of this game reminds me of Cave Party made in Godot: a game that started with a waitress in a tavern, suffering abuse and with the possibility of prostitution, while having to deliver drinks, suddenly, from version 0.0.6, the developer simply changes the game completely to a young boy with a wooden sword, trying to protect his virginity in a succubus attack. I don't think anyone liked this "new version", so much so that this version was abandoned, they reformulated the game with the name Innventure, which follows the original premise.
