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

Okay... Cloud Meadow

Perhaps someone really likes it or enjoys disrespecting themselves and deriving pleasure from masochism. But everything here is bad. Okay, the art is beautiful, I won't argue about that. The sex scenes are also beautiful. But as for the content...

There's a sense of neglect and chaos throughout the entire game. The illusion of strong, shit-to-death work on the project, which I fucking don't see, both now and 100 years ago. it's practically pointless after an hour of gameplay.

The gameplay is not fun; it's dull. This project exists just to watch porn animations, and playing it is practically impossible, not only due to bugs (although you can play a bit with bugs), but playing and simultaneously struggling to the death with your boredom is impossible.

Guys... indie game devs consistently output fully completed games that are bigger, have better art, better writing, and better game play in much less than 7 years... and they don't get paid 20k per month if they even get paid at all.

If you want a review of the game itself, it's just an overcomplicated gallery viewer. The gameplay is bad, the story is boring, there's no connection to the character. They are just a random monster breeder. Okay...? They meet bossy quirky characters that lead them to other parts or events in the game, but you yourself have no personality or say. The original unifinished breeding season still somehow manages to be better than this.

I've tried to play this game several times over the years. I like the art of it, but the gameplay and game design is sloppy, imo. It's an unintuitive mess every time I've tried to play it. Navigating in the town feels like a waste of time because it adds nothing to the game itself. The optional explore the town at the start adds no indicators of what doors can be entered. If you can't go it a place, it should be obvious. I would prefer we just click on a map where we want to go. The way it is currently is unnecessarily complicated to have to run to a shop. Quest locations are not obvious. It needs to be easier to find where to go.

I also think the font choice is bad. I'm dyslexic and it's hard to read for me.

Over all, it's not a fun experience to play this.

absolutely no progress in years. has to be some kind of scheme. wish it were something better cause the premise is awesome and some of the scenes are fantastic but it's been spinning its wheels for years now with absolutely no progress

this games idea is cool, i like its style with how you can lewd these creatures. but my problem is, its almost like this game is trying to hard to be every genre of RPGM game (i know its in unity).. but the combat is essentially a smoother RPGM experience. idk man, i feel you should just scrap the idea of the combat, and just have this dude be a farmer, with the occasional combat with pests and such.

the farming side of this game is confusing, and lacking to other management titles out there, but atleast as its second portion of the game (being farming and combat), the farming is alot better. same with the breeding, however, the breeding element is severely lacking, with a lack of detail, lack of freedom, and just *click this feral, heres that one single animation for it*.. so after a couple hours, you get bored. i think it needs to heavily focus and expand on the breeding and the features/options with that, and the farming side as the priority.


that aside, development is incredibly slow, the communication basically mute. too many individuals get into games development because they posess the skills to create a game, but most of these developers lack the most important part for the longevity part of games development.. and thats improving, and maintining your product, as well as clear communication, and regular content. most of these NSFW creators fail at the second part. they create something, and thats all it remains because they simply cannot keep up with the suggestions nor demand. this could be great, but lacks effort and direction

The game is very beautiful, very fun, and exciting. The story is interesting, but short (so far)... The mechanics of the farm are very interesting. Some scenes are unlocked even if you haven't done such a hot scene (Would that be a bug?). The game is very promising, good luck to the developer.

Before anything else; it would be 2-3 stars but deep spite reduce this

Overall the art looks nice
but thats it
everything else is poorly made
poorly thought out
poorly implemented
thrown together in hope something sticks
navigating the maps is not fun
gameplay (farm-sim) is interupted by completly different gameplay (dungeoncrawl), creating a mess that is worse then the sum of its parts

This "game" has been just as much of a scam as its predecessor Breeding Season, only at least that game was playable to a conclusion at one point (then they decided to "rework" the ui and suddenly there was almost no content).

It's been in development hell for years and is buggy as fuck.
The only decent thing about this whole thing has been Dieselbrain (the artist/animator) and I'm pretty sure they have completely abandoned working on this thing since they haven't mentioned it themselves in years now.

There has been no real meaningful changes to the actual game in years and has yet to actually finish its story or add new animated scenes.

The main "hook" of this game has been the animated interactions between the characters, and as of the end of May in 2023, is still relying on the animations from years ago.

At this point the project appears to lack any real direction, and has made no progress in actually finishing what it currently is.

The art is good and the animations are decent. The story on the other hand is like if you tasked a room of 14 redditors with writing a quirky, modernized jrpg about goofy light steampunk sex-positivity. That is to say it's completely disjointed, aggravatingly wordy and none of the dialogue comes across as natural. I seriously believe that you can get the best part of this game by just looking up a gallery compilation on another site. The sad part is that if they took this same art style and world, rewrote it and made the combat system less jarringly "unique" right at the start it could make a pretty enjoyable non porn fantasy rpg experience.

Feels like a scam of a project.
I remember playing this over a year and the game is still not much more than it was back then. The ONLY redeeming factor of this game is the good art and animations, everything else is pure shallow tedium.

When the only good thing is the animations it made me question if supporting this project was even worth it when I can just support artists who pump out way more than just a couple sprites per year.

it's basically feels like a lost cause driven off a cliff by somebody who ultimately just wants free money for other peoples work. If somebody couldn't create anything on their own they why do they even deserve the position of the project leader? Such an obvious scheme.

Over 20 people have cycled through this dev and left probably after realizing they were being scammed for their talent, this project is doomed because the leader seems to have no ability of actually making anything on their own and artists have learned to stay away from somebody essentially trying to be a ceo who does nothing but takes all the profit.

its probably 7 years in development (not less than 5 for sure) and all patrons got is (and they paid for porn i guess) stardew valley knock off
but much more tedious, less content(actually we can confidently say that its lacking content, especially considering that game was backing for 5-7 years)

porn content is pretty much stalled for past 2-3 years, no real additions or improvments (adding 1-2 gay scenes consideres to be a lucky year)
as soon as this game turned into "cloud meadow", it turned out to be shit
dont waste your time... right now, wait for another 10 year

Years of useless updates not sure why the creator won't just shutdown the game at this point, having 20 updates in a row of sprite animations and bug fixes is pretty much wasting the little of the creator's fanbase they have left time, and pretty much a slap in the face to their subscribers lol.

Good combat gameplay, great pixel art. Is buggy but its still in development so thats to be expected. Characters are interesting and unique, and the option of both protagonists is handled well. Hopefully work continues smoothly becasue i look forward to the completed game.

Let's use those funds to finally put an end to world hunger, because let's face it, that's probably more achievable than this game ever being finished.

Concept is Good
Game has potential
but it's just that
simply

Good game but not a good porn game. Has great graphics and the gameplay is fun. Not a lot of story, you can finish this game in about 10 hours. The porn scenes that the game does have are beautifully animated. I wouldn't recommend subscribing to their patreon, updates are painfully slow and not the patreon isnt worth buying just for the codes.

Downright inexcusable scam.

There are developers who take years, yet end up making a functioning full game. Team Nimbus had, what, four or five years?
Yet they are still stuck at version 0.1?
While milking 4000 people off their money for the smallest of progress?

Inexcusable, despicable and deceitful scam of a game. Existing to siphon away people's finances while throwing them a bone of few concept arts or whatever.

The gamehad a good potential. Good range of characters with monster girls/men. Where you or them would get fucked, bred.
While managing your farm and doing fun combat.
Except all this is way too ambitious. One would've guessed though that a lot of the mechanics would be done.
Nope.
Barebones game. I pity anyone who still supports these developers. There's so many others who deserve support more than these scammers.

The current state of this game is downright tragic (and shameful), but I guess we all should have seen it coming considering the game's heritage.

It started out very promising, the art and animations were stunning to me. I stopped supporting their Patreon a few years ago when they stopped focusing on the sexual content and every update was just more battle animations/non-sexual gameplay. They seemed to have forgotten the main draw of the game; it's an adult game containing fetish-focused sexual content. Non-sex related gameplay is all fine and dandy, but it's not why most people were playing. If there was no more sex to be added, there was nothing drawing me to it.

Fast forward to just recently when I decided to see how they game had come along since I'd last tried it. Lo and behold, *almost nothing had changed*. There was barely any more sexual content (maybe a couple of animations? A few seemed unfamiliar, but I recognized most of it) and even the gameplay that they'd been so focused on barely seemed to have progressed.

Such wasted potential. It presented itself as a breeding game, yet gave very little attention to the breeding aspect. A fetish game that ignores its own fetish is doomed to failure, and I'm frankly shocked that they're still pulling in money at this point. Rest in peace, Breeding Season. Your death appears to have been in vain

4 or 5 years on now, it's still nowhere as interesting or detailed as Breeding Season's beta. Just go view the better versions of the animated scenes on Rule34, they're not in the game's gallery anymore.

The art is good, but if you're only playing it for the art it's not exactly a game at that point. Look up the art online, or RIP it and unlock the gallery. Once you've unlocked all the art there is absolutely zero content, and you can tell as much even before getting to that point.
