Unity - Cloud Meadow [v0.2.3.0d] [Team Nimbus]

Being in development for over five years and having a good start in the form of "Breeding Season" is very depressing. In principle, there is no kitten. Constant alterations of those places that do not require it anyway. As a result, things get worse and worse with each patch. The only plus is the art style. He's on top, but not in "H" scenes. In general, I do not advise paying attention to this "game" for the next ten years.

This game is the definition of a facade, the striking amazing pixel art, the sex scenes (if they're even gonna add them anymore), and.. that's actually pretty much about it.

But dear god this game is an indescribable type of mess. Patrons, please spend your money to something else meaningful, because this isn't it.
I don't know if the devs are trying any more, putting out content none of us wanted, releasing bugfixes only to be more bugs created. The only 'farm' focused content is almost nonexistent, except they've just focused on 'dungeons' or whatever. Yeah.. no.

The only thing I can say that's good about this game is the amazing artstyle, and the ever so little content of the porn.
I loved this game, I wish it turned out much better. We'll see in the future.


tl;dr - Worth a try, but don't get your hopes up on future updates.

Ah yes, Cloud Meadow. The prettiest, most beautiful pixel art-styled trash heap on top of a dumpster pile to ever exist. Playing this 'game' is like pulling out your toenails with tweezers and burning your earlobes with a hot kebab poker. The people who actually supported this for the past 5 years probably feel 3 times as bad.

What is there to say about this game that hasn't already been said? The gameplay is trash, the experience is trash. The devs are constantly bugfixing only to create more bugs, more content is added that nobody wants or asks for, and everything goes to hell with every update. The only redeeming feature of this monument of crap is the art and maybe the music, but everything else is such a spectacular failure that it's pointless.

Breeding season, while not nearly of the same polished appearance and ambition as this game, was at least straightforward and easy to enjoy, The premise was simple; buy monsters, fuck em, give birth, raise em and sell em to the highest bidder and pay off your debts. Along the way, meet new characters and play some side quests to get fked some more. Easy, direct and it puts its focus on the one thing that everybody REALLY wants; porn.

So thank you S-Purple, for giving up on a workable game and instead decide to create this pile of garbage with a single red rose growing out of it, and stealing everybody's money for 5 years while giving back this sad excuse for a game in return. It's a pity you're so good at pixel art because you clearly suck at everything else.

[Rev @ v0.1.1.2h]

A mess even without considering the drama.

Art's amazing.

Writing is good enough. Scenario's been done, voice is stronk III and fluency is fine. There are occasions where Too Many Cooks seem to strain consistency, but whatever; I'm here for tits.

There isn't enough porn in this porn game. What is present shows potential, but I swear for every boob added ten bugs get added along with.

Which blends into the meat of my review and the reason I shitcanned the rating; the gameplay is soul-destroying. The game can't pick which 'inspiration' it wants to rip off long enough to get a coherent element in place, and when it tries there're bugs, more bugs, new bugs, and old bugs. The bugs aren't even consistent with themselves or each other, which makes any hope of reporting them for reliable fixing a pipedream. I've downloaded the game several times to check its progress over years and versions, and every time I get crashes in random places that can't be reproduced.

Full disclosure: yes I backed the other, no I don't care about the drama, and no I don't back this one. Five years on and it's gotten to the point where I won't even waste the time and bandwidth fishing for a copy that fell off a ship.

TLDR: Yo-ho, no.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
I would be pretty surprised if the devs even think about actually making the game close to what it could be.
First heard about this 4 years ago when breeding season was shut down barely any progress in the last 4 years makes me feel bad for the supporters of the developers honestly.

He killed a materpiece for make this awful game who aren't even close of the other game mastery.
its has been FIVE YEARS of development and what we get? Lets start with the fact that the game wants to deliver everything, but deliver nothing with mastery.
The game want be a farm game, but the farming system are boring, incomplete, awful. The game want be a exploration game, but the exploration are equally boring.
The game want to be a sex game, and have some good scenes with the MC x Monster or NPC, but all the scenes are just short videos in a looping until you decide to cum. Plus: the monster x monster sex are just awful pixeled sprites who arent even worth to watch beucase it are boring AF.

The worst part is the game is supposed to be breeding game, but the breeding system sucks!
The monster pallets aren't even fully implemented yet, it should have been one of their first priority. The monster will not have different features to make monsters physically unique, so, they are just the same, only with a color diference. So what is the point of the breeding? Get better stats? For what? The monsters will always have the same face, the same body, the same everything, only changing the color and stats.

All in all, that game have a insane budget, a big team with talent, but their leader just have the worst ideas possible. It could be a masterpiece, it could be a game who everyone will remember, but this game cannot even beat its predecessor.

After 5 (FIVE) years of development, 15 minutes of gameplay is enough to find out that the game still screams the same core problem it always suffered: style over substance.

Shwig is a goddamn amazing artist, I will never not admit that. Every single character he conceives is unique and charming in their own way. He could design and draw a quirky and sexy toilet plunger in a matter of minutes.
But, for the love of fuck, he needs to be LOCKED UP IN HIS DRAWING CAVE AND MERCILESSLY WHIPPED by someone with proper development leadership skills.
The game is an overdesigned mish-mash of concepts and ideas and the end result feels and plays like each of these concepts separately: half-baked.
It's trying to be an adventure/exploration game.
It's trying to be a dungeon crawler/RPG.
It's trying to be a pseudo-dating system.
It's trying to be a farming/economy management game.
But why? WHY does it try to be all these fucking things?? Its ancient predecessor, Breeding Season, that this game is "based" on, was a simple game at its core. Get monster girls to fuck monster boys, buy upgrades to unlock more different kinds of them. Why diverge so far from this scenario and instead of using NPC interaction as a bonus, chuck a FUCKLOAD of different ones into the game and make it seem like the game's about them, not you.

As I write this post, Shwig is probably designing yet another NPC to waste hours of effort on instead of just streamlining the game and getting its core mechanics polished.
(S)he has fat fucking tits, fatter fucking cock, and the fattest fucking balls, and (s)he's a mushroom-dragon furry-demon who says "ara ara" a lot.
And I WILL bust my nut to her.
And then close the game immediately after, because the rest of the gameplay feels like a tedious, grindy chore that doesn't really reward you with anything, because: you can get all the different monster types almost immediately, there is no content past the initial quests, there is absolutely no point to grind and upgrade your farm.

4 years of development and in that time i have seen games being funded going alpha, beta and fully released/ finished, this game is a milking factory a scam, and i have no idea how this developer has patreons still supporting , i guess some people don't mind being stolen every month..
The only good thing i have to say about this game is the sex animations, the rest is a buggy non working mess ...
Just thinking they abandoned breeding season to make this mess makes me sick

This is actually a really good game. The animations are nice, the sex is good, and the dungeons are really good as a whole. There are a few areas which could use some polish, but overall, this is a solid game. And just trying to figure out how to work the farm system is not easy, but this game is a lot better than the angry reviews would suggest.

Don t Know what I was expecting from this game in the first place, but even then I am still surprised at how enjoyable it was, like many of you Im sure the idea of an ecchi farm management game didn t sound too great to me, but this game hits the mark folks, I m like 10 hours in and STILL learning new things and breeding new species of monsters and crops, and even if that wasn t great, this game has combat, really fun, really solid combat with a decent ammount of story in this version to go with it, recommend it immensely to everyone

Pro-
1-animations are nice

Cons-
1- I wouldn't trust my money to someone who stabbed me in the back before. You can take this as you want.
2-there are very few animation much less than before.
3-monster variety took a nosedive
4-time consuming FARMING GAME.

Neutral-
1-almost nonexistent story line. Well see how much this game progress before the devs get into an argument and drop the game.

If you have read it this far you should realize how much i hate the devs and i am biased towards them. If this bothers you then ignore my rating. I wont fall in to an argument over this.

Lost hope because they don't listen to their supporters or the community EVERYONE WANTS MORE ADULT CONTENT, NOT FARMING AND COMBAT. Honestly appalled at how this project has been going on for so long without receiving more adult content. 2 years of bug-fixes and minor combat and background updates.

Even after years of developpement, still buggy af, scarce content and useless dungeon. Even for free I don't want to play (trying it every 5-6 months but getting shittier every time). Breeding Farm was a thousand times better.

Breeding season was a good game, this game is boring as heck, full of bugs and crashes, and poor with cgs, but some animations are good to see and fap, but this game today is dead, he trys do some updates but will never be what Breeding season was.

Tried it on steam, definitely not worth the money.

Gameplay 1/10
There is the breeding content. That it's nothing else is there to do. You gonna get more bug than content.

Dev team, support team 0/10
I'm not sure the whole team is like this, the vibe of me getting support in their discord is like (it's a bug deal with it) (I don't want to listen, it's a bug WIP bye) vibe. This is 2016 game and it's been 4 years? What are u guys doing with all these time? and all the monthly patreon/steam money gone to? Let's be honest I understand games take time games need program need drawing. Mate there are massive adult games(dev) take less than 1-2years only and are way better than u guys and some of them even WORK SOLO.

Graphic/ Model 10/10
Not gonna lie the animation and art is fantastic, and all individual animal/monster have their own animations

This team just strike me as money grabber and doesn't work effectively enough to build this game. The patreon money boosted their ego and they doesn't appreciate the supporter anymore. I want to say this is almost a scam, feel bad for the patreon that supported u guys since the start. you guys just taking advantage of them.

This review is a bit of a long one. So I'll have a bullet point list of the pros at the top and a longer diatribe below describing the cons if you want to continue on.


Pros

• Graphics. Excellent artwork. Seriously good.

Okay. That's it. If you're still here and want to continue on you've been forewarned. Strap yourselves in because the rest of the review is a bit of a doozy.


Cons

• Gameplay. Calling what this game has implemented a gameplay loop is like dragging your dick across broken glass and calling it a form of masturbation.

• Gameplay Part II: Dungeons. Wasting time going through a lifeless maze was pioneered by a Windows 95 screensaver, and should have stayed there.

• Gameplay Part III: Farming. Because what's a porn game without farming?

• Gameplay Part IV: Breeding. What we all played the game for, and what is so badly undelivered.

Well, that's it for the review. I should probably write something about the story, but I was skipping through it so fast trying to get to the breeding section of the game that the only impression it managed to impart on me was that it follows the generic 'stranger in a new land' introduction. Trite, boring, nothing to write home about. The most positive thing I could say is that it's a comfortable trope, something you can relax into without thinking about it deeply. In broad strokes the setting is novel but I don't think it's enough to keep you there.

Honestly speaking, if I could make only one suggestion to the devs for delivering an enjoyable playing experience, I'd tell them to at least work on stripping out the pointless fucking open world environment. Like, yeah, I can see you invested a lot of time into it and it looks very nice and pretty. But it's such an awful vehicle for delivering your gameplay experience that it coats everything you have in a fine layer of shit.

After 4 years of development this game is still not worth playing, nor worth the money spent that people seem to be spending on it.

It lacks story.
It lacks fapping material which is highly important when making an adultgame.
It lacks quality design, not art mind you, the art is amazing, but the over all design of the game is all over the place.
Has too many mini games that serve absolutely no purpose.
Long a** introduction.
Long in-between updates w/ no real content added.

The only thing this has going for it is the art. Game is 100% trash, not even worth the free download from f95zone and that's saying something.

I don' t like this game, at all. Firstly the story is bad, it is not engaging or compelling. Next, the gameplay is bad. And then the characters are boring. Also the art isn't too good either. The game has been in development for a very long time and yet it has not fixed its fundamental issues in years. Overall this game is not good

This is what 20k a month in Patreon donations gets? Wow.... ignoring the drama that happened between them and a similar game...

The art is good. The game play however.... its just bad. This game is clearly having an identity crisis as well. It doesnt know if it wants to be a breeder game, sim game, dungeon crawler rpg...

I mean... if all your looking for is a quick and dirty fap then use the gallery code and go to town. If your looking for an interesting game to dump some time into playing, either forget about this or come back in... looks like maybe a year and see if things have progressed much.

The only good part of this game is the art assets while everything else is either an extremely subpar imitation of a better game or has incredibly poor ui design that it's essentially not usable. Also a lack of even a single text file that explains what each thing should do and what to do makes any issues you might have even worse as there are barely any 3rd party resources to help figure out if something has broken on the player's end or if it's 'intended' to be so broken at the moment.

Wait maybe 3 or 4 years on this, it might be an actual product that has something beyond art asset value. Or it might be as dead as breeding season. Depends on how the devs decide to milk.
