Unity - Cloud Meadow [v0.2.5.0d] [Team Nimbus]

It would be good if it was just released but for a decade old game it's utter dog sheet, if I could bother with this more than it's own dev I'd try to open a petition to remove it from this site, but I guess it's funny to see people who find it just now and think it's good until they figure out it's never going to get off what it was a decade ago. Every update is like a new middle finger to Breeding Season former fans.

Short version: Cloud Meadow is a game that has been in development for so long that the original farming/breeding sim has been long forgotten and remains likely forever incomplete. Now it's a mediocre turn based RPG with Super Mario RPG timing gimmicks, that somehow still remains unfinished after 10 years and actual millions in funding at this point.

Long version: You could legitimately write a book on the shenanigans that went on with this game, it's actually the Star Citizen of adult game scams at this point. The original concept was a game called Breeding Season, a game that was outright sabotaged by the artist; now the head dev of Cloud Meadow. Cloud Meadow promised to be the same thing, a farming/breeding sim with some nice animations; that were cleverly shared on various image sites sold a lot of subscriptions and later steam EA purchases.

That game, the breeding/farming sim, was never developed past alpha. There were never any new adult animations added past that initial offering beyond some tiny sprites, and the farming/breeding portion of the game was never really revisited. It still remains barebones and forever incomplete. But the dev couldn't scrap it because he'd get shit from both his subs and could never show his face on Steam again. So for the past *10* years he has instead been building an entirely different game on top of the original game; a mediocre turn based RPG with Super Mario RPG timing gimmicks. Content gets added at the speed of an aged tortoise, and yet people continue funding this for well over $10k USD a month.

Play it from F95 for free if you wish to experience the disappointment for yourself, but considering there's almost no adult content anymore this game is actually competing against normal non-adult RPGs at this point. I don't think I need to go into depth here at how many far better games exist in that genre you could be spending your time on instead.

It's been years and they still havent finished this game, 10 years in development with minimal content addition with each update, they are absolutely milking their playerbase

1/10 Absolute disappointment of a game

Games mechanics are funtional, and art is good, but whats the most important part of a game? Gameplay. Cloud Meadow is the perfect case study for developers of what to avoid, you will put a few hours in this game just to be dissapointed on how little theres is to do and the wasted potencial, this game will never be finished, just play another thing.

It's really one of those h-games that forgets midway what it is supposed to be.
It wants to be a breeding simulator, it wants to be a porn game... it wants to be a lot of things.
Back in the day, there was a game called Breeding Season if I'm not wrong, which was basically sabotaged by one of the developers of this game.

So not only is this game shit and mediocre, it actively stole the idea from another game and killed it in the process.
I wish I could vote this -5 stars, as it isn't just a waste of time but also robbed us of another more simple/focused game.

When you try to do everything at once without really succeeding at anything, over complicated game, in development hell, milking backers, while missing the entire point of what made breeder games fun.

This is good for an album viewer, but not much else. Actually playing this feels like such a slog. I'd much rather play the old flash game, this artist abandoned, before committing anymore time to this.

Considering all of this, it's a 1/5 from me dawg.

Version: 0.2.3.0j

Praise:

• Great visuals with different types incorporated: sex scenes with main character & sprite sex scenes. Well animated all over the place with lots of different character body types.
• Strategic turn-based battles with decent difficulty rating.
• Lots of different monster breeds.

The Bad:

• Some side quests with the protagonist only have sprite sex animation scenes. Would be nice to have fully animated (or both now that they already have the sprite sex scenes).
• The breeding component in the game is NOT the main focus of the game. The dungeon-crawl has become the main focus with the farming/breeding an afterthought with regards to progressing the story. Since the quality of animation for sex scenes is tied to the breeding (main-character centric), many of the interactions to progress the story don't yield good sex visuals.
• My biggest gripe is the protagonist's development. Sex with the monsters or random people is a given. There's no meaningful progression in how lustful or open or corrupt the MC is.

combat is nice and looks great. pixel art sex looks good, some better management options in the breeding/farm setups needed. Some new variation for the monsters look would be good too. But great start and looking forward to future updates

the gameplay may be dogshit but the sex animations are one of the best out of all porn games and that's what matters to me in a porn game. It also has plenty of animations and sex scenes which include different body types and sexualities unlike most other porn games.

Honestly, it's sad for me to do this review, so I'll keep it short.

I played this game YEARS ago and waited as long as I could to do a fair review, but this game simply procrastinates, lies, to avoid doing the basics: a plantation game with good sex scenes. Instead, we had perfect scenes at the beginning and then a series of pixelated micro characters having sex, you can't see anything. And to make matters worse, the game invents unnecessary mechanics to justify its RIDICULOUSLY long development.

It's sad to see that if it had done the basics, it would have a good, simple game, full of stupidly good scenes, and it would have had the credibility to make a new game, to make a name for itself in this field, but no, this is just a shadow of something that could have been one of the best H-games in history.

To be honest, it's pretty bland and slow-paced for a farming rpg (though part of that slowness could be due to how it tanks my computer while running). I could honestly just grab a copy Stardew Valley and mod it with Lovers Lab and I'd get better results. The art's nice to look at at least.

A lot of ppl reviewing the game didn't read the rules of the reviewing on this website it seems. The reviews must be about the game itself rather than the developers Patreon (which is the only thing people seems to care about it seems) so im gonna try to ignore everything related to the devs and focus on the game itself.

Game is mid. There's really nothing special about it other than it's AMAZING visuals and artstyle (probably one of the best in all of gaming tbh)
It's main feature: Monster breeding - is pointless. There's really no benefits of doing it, you get nothing out of it. Same thing for another main feature: Farming - except this one is not only pointless but it's also punishing because God forbid you leave your farm for one day... cause if you do your crops will all just die lol. The only fun thing to do in this game is adventuring and fighting... but even that gets repetetive and boring because we still don't have fast travel feature so every time you complete the quest and unlock new level you have to go over same zones you cleared before to get to the new one. Combat animations are really cool tho.
And yeah: Animations - Sex scenes are great... but you've all probably seen them on other websites many years ago, because there haven't been any new ones...

This game really makes me sad. It really could have been not only the best H game but also one of the better games overall, but sadly it's not. Even ignoring all the drama it's still not a game you should play, especially for the H stuff.

Wanted to like game put in about 4 hours and scenes feel lackluster last less than a few seconds than done not worth all the effort in game play which can feel monotonous and just so much text that adds nothing the visuals are really the only real good part of the game.

Great game with the best NSFW visuals, tons of content, good story and fantastic gameplay!
(16hrs of game time review)

Version: 0.1.4.3b

Rating: 9/10

The Good:

• Outstanding visuals and sex scenes, some of the best I've ever seen.
• Vast amount of quality sex scenes and animations.
• Strategic and fun turn-based gameplay with an added breeding farm and harvesting.
• Solid storyline and keeps you fairly interested.
• Huge pool of breeds to choose from.
• Reiterating, this game has some of the best sex scenes with a protagonist that I've ever seen.
• This game has so many good points its hard to complain about anything because I feel so spoiled when compared to 95% of the NSFW games on here.

The Bad:

• Some optional side quests with the protagonist are rewarded with lackluster sprite animation scenes when they should be full sex scenes like every other sex scene with the protagonist.
• The sprite animations lack a climax and are very short animations on loop. I'm a big fan of good sprite animations but these sprite animations are boring and not worth the effort to farm them.
• There should be more than 1 sex scene per gender for the main characters that can be unlocked later on through progress. We should have 2 or 3 per character to motivate the player to continue the story line and use specific characters to unlock the extra scenes.
• The NPC's around town should have high quality sex scenes with the protagonist. Also there are only a couple high quality sex scenes with humans which is pretty strange.
• I have come to a point where I have unlocked most of the amazing sex scenes with the protagonist and I feel like there is nothing left for me in the game since the sprite animations are subpar.

Other Thoughts:

• THIS GAME IS FUCKING LOADED WITH GAMEPLAY/CONTENT!
• This game is far above 1.5 stars, I'm assuming a lot of this has to do with drama around the game. If you haven't been following this game for many years like some people on here you are really going to enjoy it.
• I'm guessing this game had a ton of patreon support over the years so I'm assuming some bitter patrons may have made their way here to criticize. Just my thoughts...

the game is 8+ years old
7 years ago it could be called good, but since then it has been remade and almost no sex content has been added
very small character icons with pixel graphics that are difficult to manage
Now it is completely outdated and does not meet modern gaming standards
completely repeated the path of Breeding Season

Most of the reviews seem to judge the game for what they wish it was and not what it actually is, and I think are being unfair or too critical based on a preconceived notion of the controversy over breeding season.

For what it's worth I think the game is very good, and being an actual game I don't know the whole process but understand that the menial, unshowy work done under the hood is the most time consuming of all so I'm a bit more forgiving of real games and not ren'py trash. The animations and visuals in particular are incredible, probably my favourite of any western H-game to date and certainly up there with the best Japanese games.

My only real complaints so far are that sound effects are absent in many places, and the UI design drags your mouse across the screen quite a bit. For example, there are number hotkeys for farming and monster interactions but not in battles yet. That way you don't have to drag your mouse back and forth to target enemies and pick skills. Other than those two things I think it's great.

I was unaware how much backlash this game was getting but I do like it a lot. The breeding system is like a more interesting (and sexy) take on pokemon and it holds a special place in my heart because of it. Keep up the good work!

Game is good. Ammount of handcrafted stuff is staggering, I know that people are interestedonly in HD porn gallery, but this game have much more than that. Drawing hundreds of SD animations of objectively high quality, hundreds of unique NPC portraits, maps and other stuff is not an easy feat.
People malding too much over it. The fact that they stay mad for almost a decade is funny tbh.

so much to do, yet little content that is not worth wasting time. the content are pixel animation that a few are good but majority are low quality. too much dialogue that feels extremely tedious to go through. fights are repetitive and boring. I hoped this game would become better after a year or two, but barely anything got added. I don't recommend playing this.

If you're reading reviews to decide if you should play this - you shouldn't. Google the sex scenes and move on with your life or find a cheat code to unlock the cheat menu where you can unlock all animations. It's not worth actually playing it, unless you're a big fan of grinding in games. But even if you are, the game is too boring and you have to do too much to see all the sex scenes.

EDIT: this is my opinion based on few hours of gameplay, maybe I got too excited and set my expectations too high, and that's why it seemed boring to me. On the second thought, maybe you should at least try it since we're getting it for free, because I'm seeing a lot of people saying it's a good game.
