Surely they are not making that much because people stopped supporting them... Oh wait
Yeah even the very promising Breeder of the Nephilim dev
is rarely doing his job and if he does something it is literally a color swap or something no one asked for after months of waiting.

I did too. Games starting strong then fizzling out is common these days but in a niche genre like this it hits even harder.
Sometimes I wonder how different Patreon would be if it didn't have recurring subs.
To be honest, this whole thing is hilarious
He killed BS and refused to sell the assets to the guy because he claimed the BS dude would scam people on patreon by sitting on the art and just bugfixing things while the game never got finished
And here we are, 7 fucking years later, at version zero point one point four point one
Absolute poetry

This is more like an "Anti-Update". He put something in but only half-way untill a "possible future update" that may be in like 6-7 years. This shit needs to stop.

Nephelym has so much going for it... unfortunately they decided to make breeding just a level grind instead of the point of the game. In BS, smart breeding would eventually lead to extremely powerful offspring. In Nephelym, the offspring of any mated pair almost always had fewer traits then either parent and the trait levels would mutate down instead of up. Nephelym is a breeding game that doesn't really want you to breed things, it wants you to go sit under a spawner and hope something spawns in that matches the stats/traits you need.

The have to be offering something other than this game, otherwise this just smells like a money laundering scheme to me.

Why, this game get "update" monthly since 2016 - just without any new contents
-----------------
It's weird people want this game thread to be removed from F95.
You know this is the few places people can call out this kind of huge scam projects?
Not to mention with or without F95, Cloud Meadow will always retain the scheme they are pulling, since they are really good at that, which is also the purpose of this project.
Without law/rules to regulate these "crowd-funding" frauds, the least we can do as consumers is spreading awareness.
Hey, at least you can see what scam it is without spending money here

well to be specifically about cloud meadow game, this has been started since 2016 in their patreon page so the game has 7 yrs still in development.
as for Breeding Season game it has been 10 yrs now.
How are people still giving money to these devs? I seen their patreon and that number is nothing to scoff at. Did all of these people forget they pledged to these devs? This is insane how this game gets little to no art added with every update. And what I thought would be a very small part of the game (the dungeon crawling) is trying to be made into the main game now. Such a disappointment. Everytime I would see this game getting hoisted in Latest Updates I would get my hopes up, see the changelog and get disappointed again. But now I just get a little sad seeing it in Latest Games without even seeing the changelog.

the best way to tell other people and to avoid these game scam projects is to spread awareness like here in f95zone
Part of the reason why their scam went wonderfully successful on steam is because many steam users also consider themselves anti-piracy and never want to associate with sites like this. Prospective buyers can only evaluate their purchase decision based on steam reviews from ppl who already bought it, who never know about any of the drama, history, and even the development time it has taken... all they know is that the game is updated monthly so it's fine. it'll be 3-5 years until they'd realize this is a scam and by that time there'll be fresh new blood (or cashcow) to be milked for another 3-5 years.
This place clearly does not stop anyone from giving the dev money as we can see by years of continued donor support. A rube is born every minute who would pay for this stuff, but that doesn't bother me. What I believe to be concerning is the culture among the dev class for this type of game, where you have the usual devs that just lose steam and move on, but also this rogue element that wants to scam anyone they can. It's a culture that taints what could otherwise be good projects. I'm not going to get up on my high horse from a pirate site though, but a pattern has emerged.

or the worst case scenario this porn game may become the 2nd worse milking game project ever like what happen to yandere game project it took 10 yrs to finish with his spaghetti programming code LMAO XD HAHAHAHAHHAHA
It looks promising since having monster girls and stuff. and some dungon crawling with them?
But from what it looks like in the comments, its another lazy project ? Where the devs have lost the passion.
It worth playing after all those years ? Quite a bit of content ?

Someone should do a study on this project being the biggest indie VG scam in the history.
Easy $18k a month for incredible updates such as "Centaur’s Quick Draw ability is now considered a ranged attack"

People are tired of seeing this thread pop up with another nothingburger update and burying legitimate projects only to have the problem exacerbated by a bunch of people piling in to bump the thread with hottakes about a game that has been spinning it’s wheels for 7 years. F95 doesn’t really have a good way of handling a situation like this, but at some point enough should be enough.-----------------

Oh i think the devs are very passionate about this project, it's such a great long-term sustainable business model with very low risk and very high profit margin

Mate, is this fucking game gonna get finished? I get a lot of devs take their time with projects, with life being a constant interruption, but jesus... this is a tad ridiculous.
