Unity - Cloud Meadow [v0.2.1.1b Patreon] [Team Nimbus]

Lower quality compared to previous projects, significant downgrade from previous projects, severely lacking of options and customization, significant downgrade and lack of monsters and creatures for gameplay, the farming mechanic is a time soaker and slows gameplay down even more than it should. Getting rid of the farming mechanic would improve the game and adding far far more customization, creatures, creature options, game options, player character options, all in priority over bland unrelatable NPC characters would significantly improve the game. For now however, the game as it stands is a BORING waste of time.

You want to enjoy the H content of the game? then go here Cloud Meadow by s-purple | Hitomi.la aside from that, this is not a worth it download and just a total waste of time..... Have fun

I'm honestly amazed that this game is still around and kicking. Almost nothing is new and hardly worth playing IMO. The game is pretty boring, even with the lewds. None of the characters are interesting and the art style is relatively bland. All in all would not, well I could not recommend this game to anyone.

Edit, also please don't support this dev or this project truly. This guy might as well be the next YandereDev with the length it's been worked on and lackluster progress.

The Game hasn't had any meaningful updates in years now, the dev is just taking the patreon money and providing "bug fixes" and "balance changes" each month.

Please, people, for the love of god, stop giving this scammer money.

With the horribly slow updates and abysmal additional contents to each update, this game re-playability is basically none. While the art is good, and the story somewhat decent it just ends on the first real mission.

I don't get it why people give their money to support this game
S-Purple is a good artist but not a good game maker
It will be better if he copy breeding season than make this game
Except good graphic this game has nothing

Version: v0.1.2.4g

This game does not know what it wants to be, so many mechanics, both core and additional just feel like they were throw around with no care in the world how they should interact with each other. Genuinely disappointing, considering very early in this game development it had show that it could be a great and a fun game. Now its nothing.

Go look around for other good games, you wont find that here.

0.1.2.4d: I'm not sure if others make the same distinctions I do, but Cloud Meadow is shaping up to be more of a game-with-porn than porn-game. As a hybrid dating sim, farming sim, and dungeon crawler it's a lot like the modern Harvest Moon games except with monster breeding too. And porn. It seems to have a stronger focus on dungeon crawling than most games in this genre, but that may be a result of how it's still -- somehow -- relatively early in development. I'm looking forward to what it may become, but considering the alarmingly slow dev cycle I probably won't check the project out for another five years. It's also a coin-flip whether the project will realize its potential, be in-development for 7 more years before having "v1.0" slapped on a half-finished product and being shoved out the door, or be abandoned entirely. It's up to you to decide which of these outcomes corresponds to the coin landing on it's side.

Visuals/Lewds/Gallery: The art is quite good. The female protagonist is particularly sexy (which is always a plus), though very busty characters feel a bit over represented. Lewds exist as animated scenes between the protagonists and town NPCs or monsters, and sprite sex between monsters or between protagonists and Frontier NPCs. They are all well done and I like how you can change the monsters' coloration while viewing the gallery. The gallery is available straight from the main menu and unlocking a scene with any protagonist will unlock it for both protagonists. You can choose which pairings (m/m, f/f, m/f) you want to see in the settings, so that's nice too.

Dating Sim: You can adventure and chat with party NPCs to raise their affection, eventually locking dates and the corresponding animations. Eventually. So far a single date for one NPC has been implemented, though there is a second you can still chat with.

Farming Sim: The farming aspect is solid, though unfortunately you need to clear part of the dungeon in order to actually unlock your farm. Theoretically you'd be specifically training monsters to work on your farm while trying to match their "fertilizer" type to the season, eventually upgrading to all-season monsters and finally dragons. Except since there isn't much in the game we have access to all of it and dragons are allowed to break the flow/economy from week 1. Regarding monster breeding: there's no back-crossing but also no genealogy data, so breeding can be a bit tedious. Cooking is a nice way to use all the crops you're growing, but unfortunately it's been poorly implemented so using high quality ingredients leaves you with a failed product.

Dungeon Crawling: Combat is solid, with each monster and character having a unique skill set and some even having their own mechanics. The blue guy is totally busted though. Again, theoretically you're supposed to be introduced to meet him a bit later in the game, but since we have access to everything at the stage he can start stomping all over combat from day 1. I suspect there's supposed to be some metagaming between bringing NPCs (who gain levels and stats through battle) and monsters (who gain stats through their daily feedings, but have higher stat ceilings) but it isn't really balanced so you'll probaly just use a full NPC team because there isn't much to do in the days it'll take to breed and train appropriate monsters.

In Development: Very. All of the systems seem to be in place... but only one place. The game has been in development for a while so you'd expect them to have more to show for it, but whatever, maybe they were focusing on systems before content. I don't really expect the pace of development to pick up anytime soon. As I mentioned up top, Cloud Meadow has solid potential so you can have a bit of fun with it now then maybe again in five years.

Betrayal Meadow. Forever a shadow of what breeding season was. Bound to never reach the potential of it's predecessor.
Don't bother playing this garbage.
You can find better farming games out there.
You can find better combat games out there.
You can find better porn games out there.
You can play something not based on a scam.

The Nimbus team don't seem to know what kind of game they're going for. The jump from Breeding Season to this is quite jarring. This game has no soul to it, it's just a mish mash of different things and doesn't put its focus on anything in particular meaning none of it turns out well. The combat isn't fun, nor should it be a focus for a game that obviously had the original intention of being a farming/breeding game. But the farming/breeding isn't fun either. This game has been out since 2016 and has no right to be sitting so far behind in comparison to other games in similar categories without any real soul to it.

If you want a fix like Breeding Season check out the game Breeding Farm by Team Bieno instead. It's a much better spiritual successor to Breeding Season and looks like it will actually go somewhere.

Only positive I'll really mention about this game is the art is nice.

simply did not enjoy it. did not really draw me in and found my self bored rather quickly. The game is playable, but really if you want to do farming sim go play stardew valley, and if you really need porn there are better porn games out there

Do you remember when this "product" came to be because a scam"artist" betrayed and stole the idea and concept from a different dev who worked on a similar project that was good and still had potential, while it got actual updates that improved the game bit by bit?

Do you realize that this is still a scam since there is no real update since 2015/16 because this is a scam and there is no other dev with a similar project whos ideas can be stolen?

For the love of anything, stop saying that Breeding Season was "the father" or "the devs split up". This is wrong and it is not how it happened. A promising IP got murdered through betrayal.

Read up HBombs statements, they clearly state that S-Purple betrayed the original dev. https://www.pcgamer.com/breeding-season-game-cancelled/

This is from the article about the deleted blog post:

“S had gone entirely behind our backs to spend an entire month’s worth of work (for which he collected over $9,000 of patron money, by the way) working on a new project that he planned to abandon Breeding Season entirely for,” HBomb’s blog post states. “Not even once had he brought up to me the notion of him leaving the project or faced me directly with his desire for different leadership. Instead he took the most cowardly possible option, to the point of even fooling Subtank [another artist] into believing the work he was doing was for Breeding Season’s benefit, and straight-up swindled us.”

The real problem, though, is that Sandler allegedly walked away with half of the studio’s savings—as he was allowed to do under the terms of the contract—and demanded that all assets he created for Breeding Season be removed from it. He’s also rejected HBomb’s offer to purchase those assets, even though, according to the post, he won’t be able to do anything with them.

“This leaves Breeding Season half stripped of assets. Effectively, this would scrap the entire project as it currently stands, forcing us to start over completely from square one,” the post says. “There is absolutely no viable reason for him to do this except to be an emotionally-stunted man-child destroying someone else’s sandcastle. He can’t even reasonably repurpose any of these assets for use in another project because anything that is either based on my design or was touched by any of the other artists or animators also jointly belongs to me. And there is no way in fucking hell I am letting him get away with what he did on any level.”

Why would you add fucking dungeons in a pornofarm game? I do not understand. The predecessor of this game was very good and now we got this piece of shit. Why? Just why did you spoil great game? You had simple but very popular idea and then you decided to make another stardrewvallew clon with tits&dicks.

Its not finished, but its got a good core game with sex scenes as a large side, instead of Sex being the main focus, and the gameplay being bad. Cloud Meadow is a game about work. Its got a large variety of other parts, some bigger than others, but the biggest part of this Game is that you run a farm. As such, you are a farmer and must tend to your crops. The second thing you have below this is monster breeding. You the player selectively breed monsters to have traits and stats to help you run the farm and do tasks. More farming makes more wealth, in money and otherwise. More wealth means easier access to breeding your monsters. Better monsters makes farming easier. You most likely wont have these monsters forever, as they have to "graduate" out of your farm, but you can keep their children as placeholders, or buy newer monsters with usually less traits. Cloud Meadow is a lot of work in play, but its a very fun concept that is almost fleshed out, and it has some absolutely spectacular sex scenes to top it off.

The art style is great though the game itself needs A LOT of improvement in the code or whatever keeps it working cause I have never played a game with that many crashes happening in one play through (which is order to fix you are forced to go to their discord, give them a bunch of files and your save and HOPE its fixed). Though the game tries too hard to be something that it isn't with the farming system which is a waste of time. Not worth it unless you really like the artstyle.

the art and sound is pretty nice. the dungeon sucks. the farming sucks. the breeding is alright, but after you see one of each species then there's really no point to continue. there's lot of grinding. the game is still somehow incomplete in all sections: farming, dungeon, breeding, etc so while you're trying to progress, you'll suddenly hit a brick wall.

this game is 5 years into development with a huge team and earns $19k/month, yet is still in BETA. there are games that have finished in less than 5 years with less funding and less staff, and are far better.

For the first time since i started following this game, i am surprised. I don't know if the dev finally started listening to people or if they're done with all the current bugs and glitches but somehow the game now has it shit together...............in a way. The remaining monster sprites have been added and some new dungeons are available. I am cautiously surprised. 3 stars now, 5 if see if it continues this good streak.

I'm not so sure if this is even a 'game' considering there is more talking than anything.
The entire premise of building a game is limiting the talking of the npcs... That has ruined games in the past and this 'game' is a prime example of ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TALKING! It instantly bores me, I wouldn't recommend 'Cloud Meadow' to anyone.

The graphics aren't great, the game feels incredibly grindy, there just isn't much in the way of fun any more. It just feels like so many lost opportunities and wasted chances. I'm thankful I wasn't one of the original breeding season supporters or I'd feel so ripped off.

There is a lot of reviews about animation, gameplay and all but i want to just say: This is not a porn game.

Before say something, i will give a little summary about "breeding of seaon"

Breeding of season was the "father" of this game, a game where you can see monster how they f*ck each others.
The game was a master piece because they knew what we want, we want PORN, what a suprise right? . The development of the game was in the right direction. At first, it was a simple gameplay with a few monsters, with the time, they added more monsters because what is better than one good thing? exactly, two good things.
Basically, the updates was in the line of pleasing more fetishs, you know, trying to add something new like for example, more human like monsters or more monster like monsters (that sound weird) or younger versions of them... etc There was some updates about adding npc or some gameplay features but its just a small side, a support for the main thing, the porn.

Ok there is more but i think this is enought to you understand that game was focused on porn and we loved that.
but why is this related to Cloud Meadow? Its related because Cloud Meadow is NOT A PORN GAME.
A lot of people have talked about this game being a scam because how slow the updates are coming and of course, they are, like... i think they had a announced in their patreon of relasing date, something like 2018 or 2019... so yeah, they are milking money... Anyways, that is not just why this game is a scam but its also the fact they are baiting people with the porn when they actually dont even care about it, i mean, i really feel like they dont want to make a porn game, which its ok but not if they bait people with that.
Why i think this? just check their patron and compare it with any other patreon from a porn game, most of the stuff they post there is not related to porn, its like buy a sport magazine and most of the stuff is about food and drinks. Also, yes, i know its a game and its good if they have more things than just porn, it even help to make the experience better but isnt it weird when 90% of the post are not porn related in a PORN GAME?
Another one is the feature of SFW mode in the game, if they add that, it means they think someone want to play this game without porn, which it means they are adding things not related to porn(i think im using too much this word) enought things to make it appeal for play it in SFW.
And why not, here is another one more, remember i said breeding of seasons have monsters x monster and they where adding more fetishs with the time? well, for some reason, Cloud Meadown said "fuck it" and just ignored the best part of that game, because that was what made the game so special, there is a lot of good game but almost none with monster x monster (mxm from now on) and what they did? they focused in monster x human wow nice...
Alright alright, i know there are gifs of mxm but they are just trash, they are just a few pixels moving with not even cum stage, cmon! some of them you cant even see a genital and you wonder if they are having sex or fighting...
Its not just mxm but also its like they just ignored a lot of fetish they could have such as younger version of a monster or no consent sex (dont look at me like that!)
They gave some excuses like younger version are not legal in patreon and i kind of understand they dont want to play with fire but lets be honest, there are ways to do it, like the monster is just smaller or magic. I said younger fetish but i bet they used that excuse for others stuffs.
They also gave a excuse for no making mxm which it was something in the line of "there are a lot of monsters and we cant make an animation for every one" Again, it makes some sense because the animation is 10/10 and hard to do but you really cant pay some artist and at least put one or two pics????? not??? too expensive??? like, you just ignored the best part of the other game, i dont even feels like i want another human x monster, there is even others game for that, a lot.

No sure if i was clear but my point is this game dont even want to be porn, they are pretty much baiting coomers and using the fame of breeding season. And i dont really like to say "that devs are scam" but they really are playing with people, probrably they are going pretty vanilla (for what they were expected) because monsterxmonster are a niche fetish and maybe harder to sell in some webs, even making it sfw help to sell it in more webs.

After almost 5 years, the game looks like its getting some base, it has a dungeon, farm, npc, and a few things but, 5 years, its not worth, try it if you didnt but i warn you, dont get your hopes up for the game and check out the cheat gallery because the game is not really that fun, its meh, after 5 years... probrably that is one of the reasons they dont go full sfw, so they play in a small league, people dont expect or care for quality in gameplay in porn game, they want porn which they dont give btw.

lets say it again. ALMOST 5 YEARS. Now i understand why breeding season team got splited.
