Unreal Engine Harem of Valerius [Prototype v1.0.1.1 Fix] [Valendir Games]

[KilljoyTRV]

You certainly cared enough to respond. Enjoy your AI, GPU destroying slop.

Your brain is slop. Stop bitching.

Thanks for your feedback! If you’ve experienced performance issues, lowering settings to High/Medium + capping FPS at 30-60 lets the game run smoothly even on 3-4GB VRAM. Give it a try!

Regarding character portraits (used only in conversation panels): These represent months of dedicated effort. We’d love for you to experience them firsthand before judging. If you’re a 2D artist, we’re always open to collaboration — hit us up!

Right, I apologise. I'm just used to seeing so many games that use UE5 and AI that end up being terrible, but you're right I'll give it a go before judging.

If you don't like it, just leave. No one cares about your opinion.

... What a salesman! "If you don't like the product, don't buy it! We don't care about you!"

"Gee, I wonder why no one is buying my stuff..."

Honestly it's not bad, ran perfectly stable on high settings. PC got a bit warm but nothing too bad. As for the gameplay, the platforming is decent, however it's super easy to just dash over all the enemies and the fighting boils down to spam left click with no need for blocking. As for the settlement building, it's meh. Reminds me of those generic mobile games. It's an interesting concept, but it could use more work. The sex scenes are okay apart from the hair physics being a bit janky. Overall, like a 6 or 7 out of 10.

Ahh !! great to hear that. I think for a demo, 6-7 /10 should be good and i completly agree about the "it needs a lot of work"
I have to confess, The Episode 1 and 2 (the platformer modes) (I hope you could take a look to the mine quest) , are not hard. but if you jump over the enemies you might avoid their loots. those loots are helpfull for the village upgrade.
Not an easy balance but side scroller mode wont be too challanging (or maybe we can add a difficulty option)


I hope f95zone will help me find friends who can give ideas and test the updates to see the bugs and the other issues.


Thank you for everyone who played the game and let me know the issues

NOTE : I am working on an update and as a default the game will start on high scalability and 60 frame limit. ifplayerr wants more they can higher the settings.

Best

Since you apologized, I will do so too. Sorry for my harsh response.

Thank you both

Would you please add a pregnancy mechanic? Would be really great!

Would you please add a pregnancy mechanic? Would be really great!

ahh, the model i am using doesnt have that morphs but maybe i can find / create one.
What i my mind, is completing the story quests. but i want to ask to the community (currently nobody gives a sh*t) and add fetish.
For example in patreon some tiers have right to add npc and a questline to the game. In there, if the idea suits thegame lore, we can add any fetish we want.

Still fighting off that AICG tag, huh? Not sure how much I'm willing to trust this if the tags can't even be properly added.
I'll check again later, see if that changes. Good luck until then, if ever.

Thank you for your feedback — I completely understand your concerns about AI. Let me clarify transparently:

1. AI Usage
   ✅ Only character portraits in conversation panels use AI-generated art .
   ❌ Zero AI in core gameplay: side-scroller mechanics, strategy systems, romance models, or environments.
2. Why I had to use ?
   As a solo developer, I prioritized resources on gameplay polish. Portraits are non-interactive and don’t affect mechanics. This was a temporary solution to ship the game without compromising scope.
3. My Commitment to Quality
   Portraits will be replaced by a professional 2D artist post-launch.
4. In Game Video
   Watch our real-time rendered teaser : every frame reflects actual gameplay — zero AI involvement.

This single thing is why the AICG tag is necessary. That is quite literally what that tag stands for, to the letter.
And to the point itself, GenAI use is GenAI use, so like.... Not really gonna soothe the concerns of those who take issue with it, especially since using it for art is like THE big reason people tend to be upset about it. *Having said all that, I'm personally glad the intent is still to replace those assets later. I realize there's a bit of a catch-22 between programmer art being needed and not wanting testing players to assume those were final assets is so often the case (which they still will, regardless, but I get why nicer placeholders would be preferred in such cases).

I would request that you be transparent in the tags as well, please. If the game had piss, or threesomes, or anything else, I'd want that tagged as it was added too. If it gets removed, remove the tag as needed. That is truly all I ask.

If you play the game from official pages , you will notice that everything is explained clearly.
But i contact to the uploader and it should be tagged here too

hello, can you tell me the version that you are playing. If you download that from itch io or Steam you should not have that issue.

I downloaded the latest version in here today (F95zone)
But now I'm gonna download it from itch io just in case. And I'll let you know if the same problem still exists if that helps. I truly see the potential in this game and I want to see it flourish.

Thank you so much. I believe that the newest versions dont have any interaction issues .

Dev Log Update: Pushing Through Technical Challenges

This week was tougher than expected - technical issues slowed me down, but there's still progress to share!

Episode 3 Milestones:
✅ Environment Built:

• Castle & walls completed (finally sets the medieval tone!)
• Placed key location models to establish the chapter's identity

✅ Art Upgrades in Progress:

• Hired a freelance artist to:
  • Replace all AI placeholder portraits
  • Design period-accurate clothing (because immersion matters!)

✅ Chapter Design Locked:

• Features 2 adult scenes + action-packed level design
• Heavy focus on narrative-driven combat

On My Plate Next:

• NPC model refinements
• Ambient sound design
• Costume implementations
• All character portraits
• Transition cutscenes

Testing Pipeline:

1. Closed Discord testing → 2. Patreon release → 3. Public launch

Sneak Peek:
City Builder mode will get "game-changing" updates post-Episode 3... but my lips are sealed for now!

Personal Note:
Admitting I wanted to accomplish more this week - but sometimes dev work means wrestling with unexpected issues.
Cheers
