Unreal Engine Abandoned HoeRizon [v0.0.8] [M.Schneider]

[HoeRizon]

Models are kinda strange and i dont know maybe promising but what i played so far it needs much more work

Understandable, but we had to start somewhere. Obviously there is still a lot to learn, but when 0.1 Alpha comes out, it will probably look like a totally different game.

Plz put Pregnancy in the game being able to knock bitches up and make them bare soldiers for my world take over is a must!
Also a add on to the pregnancy bit you when they become adults you can use them to defend the base or harvest mats for you.
Which leads to the next point you should be able to build defenses to defend against "Raids" from NPCs on your HQ..

Thanks for your suggestions, probably it would be a good idea to have these features, but as of now can't promise you that they will be added soon. Need to give a little bit more thought about how everything will work and there are other priorities i must take a look at. I think after 0.0.5 comes out I will start taking and implementing more suggestions.

those male models look....
Well, they look like Hulk took Meth.

Well maybe a little bit ye :biggrin:. For current version we added a customization feature so you could make him les ripped, of course the feature is not finished, later on there will be more options and even presets to use. Also an ability to create male or female.

cool. Im still a noob when it comes to character design. Im guessing you need Preset morphs/transformations for each customization option. Take your time.

any chance a futa character will be an option later

--Updated to 0.0.4--
revamped images by dev's request

Hmmmmm, It's a great premise... but I think I will wait until some more niches/fetishes are added...Post Apocalypse cant be totally nice and I'm sure certain.... things would be hard to find, let's just say I'm interested and cant wait to see where this goes in the future.

Ok, clear one thing up for me:

Why does it say "no censorship", but clearly those pictures (screenshots) in the first posting are censored (japanese style)?

Also: Why would you do this today? I mean if you wanted to sell stuff in Japan? Yeah, I'd do too probably, but otherwise? Nope! (I don't like any form of censorship and if it is pixelating genitals in erotic art, games, movies, videos etc.)

Seems similar to 'Wild Life'. Could be interesting. Graphics need improvement (good work so far but I'm sure you can do a lot better). And would love a 'custom character' option.

this often times comes from the fact that a lot of developers these days are on Patreon, which wants them to not show these things to free users/ non-patreons. So on their public page things are censored, but not in game.

It's censored in game as well. I assume it is part of this, in the patch notes:

Special code system integration for patrons (some features only available for patrons)

Only public builds are censored, 1$ tier patrons can disable this feature. Also another reason why we added this so it would be easier to showcase our game in the future on youtube and other sites where censorship is required. Hopefully this will not push new players away, also I think that it wasnt very fair for our patrons, because public and patron build is exactly the same, thats why we have added this code system. Other games publish different builds for each tier, but we will keep it the same all the time.

If you saw our previous builds, then you would notice that the current one have improved a lot on the visual side. Definitely there are still a lot of things that can be improved, but for the next month we will solely focus on character models/animations as well as gameplay. Up until now it's not a secret that the current version is more like a shell of a game, but we are working everyday so progress is relatively fast.

Yes you are correct, 1$ tier and higher will be able to disable this feature. Sorry if this seems predatory, but I noticed a lot of games doing this practice, some even ask way more to get the uncensored version.


P.S. if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to share them here or join our discord server were i'm active everyday.

Good luck guys. I'm really looking forward for it. Do your best. I believe in you. And thanks for the reply.

Thanks for noticing that, much appreciated. Every monthly build will be with similar progression. Have huge plans for 0.0.5 also so stay tuned.

The game has everything to be good, but I have some ideas to improve it more:

1. The player could choose to be male or female protagonist during the creation of the character;
2. Quests and sidequests: In every RPG game you have to have this;
3. Fetishes (do not introduce loli and shota, for God's sake!);
4. LGBT themes (such as gay, lesbian, shemale, crossdressing, gender-bending...)
5. Try not to make the game realistic because the computers of some players will be unable to support the game because of hardware limitations.

For now I have no more ideas, but depending on what the game was developing, I will send more.

Thanks for taking your time and sharing your opinion. Let me share some info about each point you made.
1. You are exactly on point, we had this in mind from the beginning, also we might add an alien race to the list. We haven't done this yet, because the male version is not at the quality as we want it to be. So after male model is decent we will start implementing more options.
2. Definitely. I will work on that personally for 0.0.5 As of now there is really no playable content.
3. We will avoid all fetishes that patreon doesn't allow. Other suggestions are more than welcome and some will be decided by polls.
4. For sure we will introduce some of them with time, but my ideal plan would be to have an option before starting the game if you want to see such themes. From coding side that's not very difficult to achieve. Mainly matters on what our current priorities are. So this feature might be implemented later on.
5. Understandable. We always test our builds with our old laptops, which only have ~8gb ram, 2gb gpu memory and an average processor and they still can reach 30fps on high settings. In the future we will add more video options for our game, so people could turn off some unnecessary features. (For example within this build we have two different weapon scope systems: one that renders another scene with a close up - which could decrease performance a little bit for older pc's and another one that just changes FOV without impacting the performance.)

Probably in the future we will make a roadmap so people could see a clearer game idea/goal, but we would still like more people making suggestions, since we are building this game not just for us but for our future players/community as well.

"no" censorship. (But there is tho. It should say Censored, unless you got money.)

Agreed. I'm not gonna take the chance and support a game when I can't even see what it's like uncensored. Honestly I feel like it would be better if the dev set it up so that the patrons are a few builds ahead of the public instead of censoring it for people that don't have any money. Even if it's just a dollar, it's the principle of the matter.

Nonetheless I wish the devs luck in making this game the best it can be.

I touched this subject with the uploader before updating this thread and he deemed it as an unnecessary change.

Since both of us are unemployed and living from our savings while developing the game full time we had to come up with a reasonable business plan that wouldn't hurt much patrons and non-patrons. Hopefully you can understand in which situation we currently are. So this decision should help us stay afloat while dedicating all of our time towards the game development.
After discussing things over with my colleague, we decided to share old codes that will unlock some of the features like censorship for older versions after a new build is released. So if you want to come back and test it without limitations just wait for a new release, but personally i doubt that it will be worth anyone's time testing older builds, knowing that the newest version will be a superior one, despite locking some of the features.

the game keep on crashing

Can you tell me what error you are getting? Also if you dont mind share your pc spec and are you running windows 64-bit OS?

 

[nowayman69]

but personally i doubt that it will be worth anyone's time testing older builds, knowing that the newest version will be a superior one, despite locking some of the features.

I seriously disagree with that. I don't know what country you're from or whatever, but in many western countries we're very anti-censorship when it comes to porn. We want to see it all in it's most pure, raw form.

I think you are highly underestimating how much censorship really affects the gameplay, especially for a porn game. And hiding the uncensored bits behind a paywall, no matter how small that pay wall is, is extremely off putting. Especially since this isn't a finished game where we pay once and can play it all we want. This is a recurring cost, every month, that must be paid again and again to retain access to the uncensored builds. I personally would much rather play an old build that's inferior to a new build, but is uncensored than play a new build where all the naughty bits are censored. Once again, it's totally up to you, and I respect your decision. But I really think it's a mistake to censor it in any way.

I want to point out that I'm not saying this out of greediness or anything, I'm trying to help you by giving you honest feedback on your business model based on my own previous experience with in-development games, erotic games in particular.

Does anyone here remember Breeding Season? I do. I remember it well. I also remember losing over a hundred bucks to it. I personally think a better business model for you to follow is an early access system for the patrons. Where they receive the newest builds a month or so before non patrons. Instead of censoring it for non patrons and making it almost pointless to play, make the game tantalizing enough to lure people into wanting to pay to get access to the latest builds a month, or however long you think would be best, early.

I don't know about anyone else, but the second I see a paywall restricting FEATURES instead of delayed access, it sends huge red flags up and makes me very weary of supporting the game. Once again, it's your choice. I'm just telling you the effect it's having on my own decision of whether or not to give the game a chance.

Also, slightly unrelated to this, OP needs to change the "censorship: none" to "censorship: yes, unless you're a patron". It's extremely misleading as it is.
