Hey there, wrong person sorry. We used to be known as Cthulhuean, however we are not part of the modding scene. Check out the About section on our profile if you would like to see our individual biosHad some models waiting around from them sims 4 modding animations days years ago ...
Still not a word on why did they not just glue them 100ds of animations Amra has made
for them sims games over them years .. that would have blown competitors right out of the water!

O.K .. please be gracious and accept my sincerest hopes and dreams and aspirations ...
that some of the great contributors to the gaming scene had indeed come together to deliver...
I wish all the best for you and do check those sites up ...
If anything, all devs should know what others have been
already coding / modelling in the unity scene all these years...

We understand there is a lot of skepticism in the community, and a lot of this is totally valid. We are going to work as hard as we can to prove to you guys we can pull this off
Refer below for clarification on the "AAA standards". I promise we are not trying to dupe you guys, just trying to set a benchmark that we can realistically achieve in future given our professional experience in the industry.
we are not claiming it to look or feel AAA at this stage, but that we are setting the standards of the development of our game to those of AAA. In terms of polish and feel.
Not him, sorry guys. Hopefully you will still be impressed by his work
Hey there! Just to reiterate we will have full character customisation for player character in future. This include male & female protagonist and gender fluid options (for certain races).
Thanks so much for checking us out and for your useful feedback! Will improve controls in future, for sure.Awesome demo Grave Companions
My only gripes would be the depth fog when the camera is far away from the character in low lighting.
And the click and drag camera.
The fog is not a big issue, but the camera needs work.
I'd love to see a first person camera as well.
Keep it up, and you may have a ton of investors soon enough
We amped up the fog mostly as a quick way to polish the environment, as the focus for this build was just to get the animations in. Our last Patreon build back in May was day-time lit forest environment which we spent months hand-placing. We hope to merge these two environments together for the next build.
(please excuse the poor compression in gif, looks much better in game)

Thanks so much for your detailed and helpful feedback! Specific camera/control feedback is really helpful to figure out what the most popular style is moving forward. Glad to hear some feedback on audio, too. Lots more content coming soon!

Just to get some idea .. because 3D rendering games in unity / unreal devs tend to make a lot of promotion and false pretenses on stuff either not in the actual build of the game <false adeverts>
or not in the build they actually release.
For example ... devs of slaves of rome wrote from day 1 they have BJ in their games ... only to discover just this month they are actually only now -> 1 year later <- coding the @#$^@#^ bj in their actual game. Lies ... ALL Lies.
So my question is ... all those vids of the 3 some in the tent you put a number of vids in your twitter ... I.S ... T.H.A.T .. I.N .. T.H.I.S ... D.E.M.O ?

Hi
Yes, that is correct, those vids are unedited footage right out of this demo. The only thing not currently in the demo displayed is the screenshot of the dialogue system in the OP, which can be found in our May build. I put this in just to show some variety and RPG mechanics, however that quest is not playable in this free demo. We are very transparent and honest about what we are creating.I hope you like the animation, more to come very soon.

Hi! Looks incredibly promising and am very interested.
Just a heads up though, you might want to re-think your Patreon tiers. I entirely understand the need to quickly gain the financial stability that will allow you to work on this full time, but I truly believe it will be very difficult to reach this goal for an entirely new game from a company that has yet to prove it self reliable enough to develop quality updates in a consistent pace when the only realistic tier to get actual game updates is 15 bucks a month.
Sure it is a very good looking demo and I'm certain from the way you're responding here that you're truly dedicated to the project (for now at least) but 15 dollars for game updates and 5 for Patreon posts for a new game that is trying to garner the trust of a very skeptic community seem incredibly steep and a choice that has high chance to put this project on a rapid path towards abandonment from lack of monthly funds.
Personally since I already have quite a large sum going into consistent and well established projects I'm far more willing to throw a buck towards a new project just to see if it has any regular progress going for it, and if it seem like they do I then increase my amount to the required tier for updates so I can see what they're all about. And even then that usually amounts to 5-10 bucks for a release.
I'm not criticizing of course and I wish you the absolute best, I'm sure you've done your own thinking and have reached a conclusion that you're satisfied with about this price range and it's absolutely fine. I'm only providing my personal opinion after seeing many many projects start strong and end 4 months later.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check us out and provide your feedback, Maxies
Totally understand where you're coming from, however we feel it is important to confirm the tiers early in the project. We thought long and hard about the tier pricing and did lengthy industry research, in addition to lots of self-introspection.
To us, the quality and potential of our project are appropriate for $15 access (especially compared to other projects). We value transparency and feel it would be incredibly dishonest to charge a smaller amount now, then increase the tier prices as the builds become more progressed and align with community expectations.
We totally understand the need to prove our dedication to the community, and this is why we will endeavour to bring out as many free builds and news updates as possible and practical to show you our progress until it reaches a point where individuals feel comfortable committing to the formal tiers.
Thanks again for taking the time to be so considerate with your feedback, I hope you enjoy what we have to show in future
Hey there, thanks for checking out the project
as mentioned through the thread, optimisation has not been completed as the focus was for an animation and visual test. Scalability for a project like ours is definitely not automatic to any practical usage within Unity. However, optimisation and accessibility is a high priority for us once we have the time and resources to commit.

Thanks for your interest
you can check out our twitter (link in my signature) if you want to check out the visual quality before testing the game. We will have a really strong focus on story and character development in future, hopefully you enjoy what is to come!

I understand that a pornographic website isn't always going to hold the upper echelon of individuals, but it's a sad case when a Dev like you gets pulled into everybody else's preternatural tastes from the get go. Whilst you're on here being polite and responding to basically everyone, there seems to be a sense of insolence or preconceived dissatisfaction by some. Hopefully it doesn't creep up on you in the future, turning tolerance into frustration. Best of luck to you
Thank you for your kind and considerate words
I understand many of the frustrations within the community, but I feel up to the challenge of convincing those more skeptical that passionate and honorable devs do exist and we are not here to dupe them. Might take a while to win everyone over, but I've got plenty of patience and time for any questions or feedback on the game...regardless of how it may be presented.Thanks again for checking us out!

Do you folks have any kind of a timeline in mind for the foreseeable future? As Amra is your only engineer, I'm thinking the pace of development will be rather slow, especially given your stated desire to pursue AAA quality for this game.

So, I gave it a run. Loved the girl. Loved the outfit. The kind of dress I like my heroines to be dressed in.
The game did take some time to load, though. However, I guess it was all part of the set-up. You know, slow build-up, keep us in suspense. Then, once it did start, everything was moving very, very slowly. You know, like Slo-Mo; Super Slo-Mo. But I guess the heroine was high, and you wanted to give us a feel of it. All part of the demo, you know. Then, there were these weird little black boxes floating above the book in the tent. For a moment, I wondered what they were. Then I realized the heroine was probably hallucinating the damn things. Then, she interacted with the book and got fucked by invisible beings with visible dicks. My first thought was, "What the hell? Why can I see only dicks and absolutely nothing else"? Then I realized. It IS a game based around a fantasy world. So, they were probably some other-dimensional beings. Not out of place in such a world.
Well, that's the conclusion I did draw. It surely can't be my computer, can it?
Very brief demo, but I have a sound idea, now, of the good things that are to come.
Game mechanics reminded me of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. One of two mainstream games I ever took to loving. However, I'd appreciate it if you were to implement keyboard customization down the line. Because I'm more of an "arrow key" kind of guy. I've never been comfortable with WASD.
Rest, everything looks promising. I'll be keeping an eye on this game. I hope there's a good story behind it, too.
And, lastly, could you, please, implement different graphics settings in your future updates? Like, maybe, Ultra, High, Medium, and For Those with Trashy Systems.
