Unreal Engine Delta Zone [v23.2] [DEVOLUTION]

[werwolf12]

Patreon based animators are really interested in making video more often than 6 months? These are just excuses to keep people from abandoning the boat en masse.


Who made them like this? You and me, ofc.

I never said it's a good thing, i said that to ilustrate that when working as 1 man team, multi-year projects tend to really drag on after some time. TBH i never had any subscription apart from Shait since his patreon had option to not only choose sub type but also " how much you feel is enough" and I think this is very good way of doing things so I subed. Rest of them, well just like DZ, I got them for free, also Icarus made his ss free when he no longer felt like he can deliver on regular basis, which takes balls. Also all of said artists ( well maybe apart from jackerman) make thier work public after some time. You really are just supporting them, and are not paying montlhy to see 2 renders. That's the difference between them and NSFW game devs, who usually just block their work behind pay-wall. Also what is stark constrast between said artists and devolution is that thier work is of really high quality. That's why animopron could make forutne, yet he made only few videos-they were superb for thier time, same goes with wildeer studios now. He's taking ages to complete something, but when he does, he delivers over 1h stellar quality animation.

As always HUGE thanks to DeviousEngineer for providing a license file as a starting point and to TJ888 for his amazing crack that inspired me to try UE hacking

I need help please, every time i close the game and want to continue i have to login with the "devstart" again to enable NSFW but if i do my whole inventory gets resettet as well. Do you might know why and or how i can fix this?

Never happened to me. All my inventory, stash, cyberware and customization are ok . I quit usually in hideout, but one time I tried in the middle of a raid and all went well. Are u choosing Continue before the login? It seems that for some reason the game restarts.

Have you unpacked game from the archive to a folder?

Thanks for the quick answers guys. And its all good, it was just my goofy ass not knowing i was still in the "tutorial" level i guess that's why it happened. I didn't knew it was that long ^^ They should probably put a message at the start that you wont keep any of your stuff before you reach the hideout. Would have spared me quite some time pondering over what gear to keep and such. xD

 

[DarkGrotty]

Btw does anyone know how to duplicate items? This hacking minigame is doing my head in. xDD

 

[fegar1338]

yeah hacking minigame is hard. i usually end up with a try that i cannot complete. and it feels like the hacking augmentations do nothing.

edit: there are some cheats you can activate like unlimited money, which you could use to buy some tools

Yeah i just hacked a "Military" difficulty crate and it was fucking empty!! Used all my tools (12) and then this ffs xD And yeah the hacking cyberwear stuff doesnt work atm, as it also says in the parts. Also if you need money go to the Trader named Lux in the forest, bitch got like over 50k on avarage so you can just dumb your garbage there xD

 

[fegar1338]

i only bother with hacking the locked weapons anymore, and maybe some rooms. i think the problem is the loot behind that stuff is not significant better than to just go to some corpo locations and raid that. i think the "hidden" stashes has better stuff than locked chests. maybe crates should get "tiers"

 

[jazzwest]

As clunky as this game is, the adult content is pretty darn good to me.
I made a video compiling all the available scenes into somewhat of a sequence.
The battle damage element may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I kept getting shot so I figured I would just embrace it.

I've just played Road to Vostok demo, and this is direction this game shloud've taken a long time ago, and It's just shows how DZ is blank in terms of pure gameplay.

nah i dont hack weapons myself, i just bring them to Lux and pay for it to get it unlocked. xD

Honestly DZ weapon gameplay and such is pretty solid for a single dev, i just wish they would be more active. Its sad to see if games like these are super good but then they die out or turn just into moneygrabbing.

Yeah, I never said that weapon system in DZ is bad, it's unique, has nice progression, and is very clever way of using same animations for basicly many weapons. Although It would be nice to have dedicated pistols and shotguns upgradable in same way, I never have any problems with it. The problem is that apart from that there is very little to this game, and some things like AI can be forgiven since making good FPS AI system is very hard to do, and even not really possible in UE5 blueprints, but I can see multiple shortcuts and just poor design decision that dev made. You know how the game deals with trasition from TPV to FPV? It just despawns MC, and spawns another character. That's why you can't shoot in TPV, your sprint speed doesn't match anim. speed and until very recently you couldn't crouch or jump in TPV. This is just sign of laziness. I understand that dev was learning during dev. process but some things like very poorly executed inventory system or lack of MC clothes, as well as lack of enemy types and basicly empty world are not. This game as been long enough in development to be much more than a gun modding sim with some titties and nice animations.

Any news about the next update?

Before, it was every 3 months, then every 4 months, and now?
The developer complains about piracy but also makes no effort to attract new donors. It feels like an abandoned project.

Nah, he's definately still at it.
He just has to take his time, or else people will start demanding too much from him.

You know, always give only the smallest effort, or peasants will get greedy!

But also, Patreon income dropped from 8.000$ to 7.000$ and now even down to 6.000$ a month so he has to do something about it sooner or later.
Can't let that river run dry.

Don't worry, you'll get some grenade style weapons soon.

" You know, always give only the smallest effort, or peasants will get greedy! "

...and this is actually very wisely said....somehow i must incorporate this attitude in my life too..... 99% of the population on this planet is made of the most ungrateful, ugly, needy, extremely greedy peasants...unfortunately.

This dev is just doing what all the other 99% of the population is doing unfortunately...being a greedy fktard lazy asshole....
he is not even trying to be the exception.......AT ALL.
unfortunately.

---on the other hand...he maybe is working alone, creating a game alone,,,,takes decades. naaah..... 99%. i dont see any signs of him being in the 1%.

In his defense:
Yes, he's mostly alone.
At least he's been doing the programming all by himself, as far as I know.

Assets are mostly from the unreal store, but yeah, that's kinda expensive, not gonna lie.
Though some are made by hand.

As far as I remember, he hired an animator for doing the sex scenes, but I think that's been pretty much it.
Rest is all a single guys work.

But don't get me wrong, he's surely not doing this on the weekends or after 6 pm.

THIS is for sure is full time job.
Quite sure, this game is his main income.
And since he get's paid a fair amount (or between 6k - 8k $) for a months work, I kinda expect something in return for like, I dunno, at least 160 hours of paid work.

But sadly, it's not adding up.

 

[DarkGrotty]

Also the least he could do it keep his supporters updated, but he is not even doing that. So if he is not dead or in a coma, there is no reason to at least say something on twitter or wahtever. For me it looks like he gave up on it and is just trying to get as much money out of it as he can, if eh can't even be arsed to make a post for progress if there is any. And lets be real here it would not be the first time this happend.

No this isn't his main job. He's actually a teacher at a college in his country (Slovakia).

But regardless, he could be doing more. His teacher salary, plus his Patreon scam is bringing in pretty decent money.
