Unreal Engine - Home Together [v0.39.0] [Home Together Dev]

This for now is a scene simulator and a good female character creator game. Yes it's complex to create but it gives you a very good ammount of options and some defaults if you're lazy. Male character creation sucks.

The dev seem to have said that it will have a history and a game in the future, for now theres basically nothing. All cool clothing and hair customization are blocked behind patreon sub code, which is fair but I would prefer if the dev focused in gameplay stuff instead of skins while the game doesnt have anything.

The limited clothing we have available clips through the body and you cant adjust them to fit your custom body so it makes the customization be kind of irrelevant.

The scene simulator menus are weird to navigate and all woman expressions aside of default one are weird af.

Considering that its under development for 3 years I dont have many expectations of a real game any time soon. But if it do arrive it might be interesting thus 2 stars instead of 1. If I get to play the real game in the future I'll change the rating.

Stiff animations, glitches, confusing character creation menu.

Honestly the only good thing this game has going for are that the female models look fairly decent and that is a shot in the dark considering how tedious and messy it is to create or even edit one.

Animations glitch out all the time, you change positions and the models feel like they get misaligned, female hair flies off, etc.

Only decent thing I could say is that the performance is not that terrible if you have the VRAM to spare otherwise good luck, 70-90FPS on average, maxed out at 1440p at the beach level, no DLSS. That being said I'm running a 9800X3D paired with a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, it still suffers from the plague of UE5, that being, the stutter-fest, especially after loading into the level where the game hogs at 2 FPS for about 5 seconds.

Going ahead and typing here while this finishes downloading. I am going into this knowing the game is just a tech demo/scene simulator/physics engine. Usually I would not use software like this, I really need a basic gameplay mechanic like Some Modeling Agency. However, I've heard the character customizer is quite nice... So, here's the deal: If I can create a character that is what I like to see in an H game, and if there are some wankable poses/scenes with good controls and such, I will give the game a 4 star review. If not, I will give it a 1 star review. Those are my terms, and my download just finished, so let's see how it goes...

Welp, a bargain was made. Yeah, a few bugs... Yeah, resource hungry... I was skeptical about the character creator because every char I've seen has had life-sized proportions. I like unreal proportions when enjoying unreal women, and this title does not disappoint. So, yeah. If you know what you're getting, it delivers. It's not great, by any means. No replayability imo. But, worth a wank, again - if you know what you're signing up for.

An unreal engine game that's very well optimised along with those graphics is already a good sign. The ingame animator? is easy to grasp as well, like it's just moving limbs, given that it can be improved further, such as pausing and resuming animations, adding different emotions to different keyframes etc. but overall a chefs kiss game

This game has a huge amount of potential. While not really a game but more of a simulator, I would say it still has really solid foundation to be something great. However I would argue that the game needs more updates and fixes regarding performance and less about content.
For example some base facial expressions are straight up from a nightmare. The options for creation are very good but I wouldn't say no to more. I believe the main issue has to do with performance and consistency between character creator and actual gameplay. Hope this one doesn't get abandoned but lives up to its potential.

All the male characters are ugly as hell, but since I prefer futa x female, it's okay.

The game has good physics and graphics, and is relatively well-optimized.

As a scene viewer, there's not much to explore beyond the cutscenes, and they're good. However, I didn't feel like replaying it, maybe when it's complete.

Trying to make a character in this game is like trying to solve a rubex cube while color blind. Once you load into the world, it's wildly different from how it was previewed in the character creation.

My review of game version 0.36.1:
I can say for sure this is not a game, but a pure scene simulator—something like Honey Select. There’s a very limited amount of clothing, facial animations during scenes can be creepy, and there are bugs. A particularly strange issue occurs when the girl's face gets cut off at certain angles during the act.
Visually, the game isn’t particularly beautiful—aside from the main screen design and character customization. This simulator feels more like a foundation for future games that might actually have a storyline, rather than just a collection of scenes with minimal clothing variety. I give it one star because there’s basically no gameplay, and the entire experience becomes boring after 5–10 minutes.

Game version: 0.34

This game is a fuck simulator. Simply as that, so do not expect it to be much more. There is no story (rather short stories/ scenarios to choose from, aside from free roam), there is no progression.

You can choose many different types of women, edit them to your liking or even create your very own slut. The amount of options and presets is enormous.
For my part, I am very happy with the presets.

The core mechanic of this game- the physics- are top-of-the-class. Fluid af, stable and there is already some variety of different positions (not THAT much, but enough). You can move the camera either from a fixed or free perspective, but here comes the bad part:
The camera doesn't work very well yet. The fixed points of the camera will, for some reason, often BLURR everything and therefore make it hard to focus.
I guess this is some kind of bug and will be fixed at some point.. it HAS to.

The content is already very good, with more scenarios, locations and women to be added with each update.

It's good for what it tries to be. Just don't expect too much. It is simply a game where you create a character and then try out different sex scenes. No story other gameplay, keep that in mind and you won't be dissapointed

This is at least my opinion of course
The game is a demo of the UE5 engine that I still don't understand why it is used because it looks terrible
The game is a simulation where you can wander around the house and have sex with the character and that is basically it may be enjoyable for a few moments but I got bored very quickly because there is not much interaction with the girl it's come fuck her anywhere without a point right it's porn and pornographic games don't need too much depth such as LOST LIVE which has no plot or knowledge of who you are and what you are doing with the girl but you can imagine the story even if it doesn't exist and here you can't because you are a holographic character without a mirror because it could only add to the feeling and imagination

Graphics - 6/10
- Even I'm surprised that I gave a 6/10 to graphics when this is made with UE5 ( 5.2 )

Characters - 10/10
- What I like about this is the ability to make your character, I even saw Brittney from House Party made by someone

Performance - 1/10
- I know it, you know it, we all know it. UE5 is SHIT when it's about performance, if games such as Stalker 2 made by GSC they weren't able to have make their game optimized, you think a game made by some unknown fucker would be good? Fuck no

Bugs - You need more fingers to count them.

Overall -7/10 ( Just because you can make your own character and that there are a ton of s.positions . If it wasn't for these two, it would've been a 4/10 )


Do better, and never use UE again.
UE5 IS NOT for games.

The game has very nice and neat main menu, first impression, presentation, interface and so on in small but very important details. But the VR mode is actually just as experimental as it is said by developers! I'd say even more - it's unplayable! Due to performance issues and obvious unfinished work in general.

Have tested it for around an hour or two.

Initially it reminded me of Honey-Select 2 with better graphics but fewer options.
The physics here are slightly better, the animations a bit smoother and there is not so much clipping.

But it shares the problems with lighting, what is really annoying:
sometimes body/hair/clothes seems to be self-illuminated, sometimes they are much darker/brighter than in the creator, sometimes they have strange reflections - everything depending on the position on the map.
The unmodified teeth of my model, for example, are white in the creator and turn to black (!) when i enter the h-scene...
Additionaly it's badly optimized and laggy.

The graphic-quality of the animations is good, but you can only speed up/down the movements, it lacks in variation.
And specially the facial expressions are non-existent or creepy in most cases.
The (missing) eye-movement and the looking-point is also a bit strange.

It has an interesting "bounce-mode" in h-scenes which pushes the penis forward when you press space - thats kind of a good idea.
You can grab the breasts with the mouse what is also a nice feature.
But overall the controls are awkward and you get no feeling out of it.

And what is most important: there is nothing more than those half-baked animations.
Since it's already 2 years in developement i don't think you should expect much more to come.

So, this "3D sex simulator" comes with good graphics, but without any gameplay or amusement.
The bugs and the unfinished and unpolished UI and controls are killing every vibe.

In other words: it's a tech-demo that pretends to be a game.
Skip it.

Nope....sorry...this game is just absolutly terrible.
The controlls are awefull and the bugs are killing every imersion.
Why adding new location but not fixing the dam bugs in this game ?
There are the same gliches since over a year and nothing gets better

A weird but interesting idea, but poor in execution.

I can't see how this would ever not be boring. Obviously theres little interaction, just sex simulation and that means ever little flaw in that simulation is amplified. The graphics in game are much worse than the menu.

Also the camera is weirdly high like the player is 7ft tall

What do we have a year and a half later? Hmm... LITERALLY NOTHING

A few improvements here and there, a few sex positions..

Some will say, but there is a possibility to create mods, you can do anything! NO, if you try to create something, you'll realize it doesn't work well.

Maybe they added some plot to the GAME after a year and a half? NO. It's still just as technical demo version.

Customization? Very limited, you either create almost identical models or create ugly ones.

The only good thing of this game is the graphics, which really look good, BUT you need a really good computer, as the game lacks optimization.

But it begs the question, why would you want a game that you don't play but watch? Better watch porn.

UPD.
Another year - still NOTHING.

Good visuals, good character creation and good animations. For now that's the only thing that the game has for itself. It definitely has lots of potential and I'm definitely curious to see what the dev can pull off out of this game. But for now there's really nothing going for it. I really wanna see this game take that next big step, maybe some dating sim elements but it definitely needs more gameplay elements to make me want to play more than 30 minutes.

"This project provides us with an opportunity to take a look at a collection of free assets and animations, without any gameplay mechanics or anything else that would allow us to call it a game."

"Graphically, the project looks decent enough (though quite resource-intensive considering the amount of resources used for such a small location). You can also witness terrible optimization and encounter a huge number of graphical glitches, a substantial amount of technical issues, a poorly implemented customizer, and a minimal number of sexual scenes."


"The gameplay offers us an opportunity that we won't find in other games, namely walking. You can visit various rooms, inspect different objects, observe graphical artifacts, and search for places to engage in sexual activity. It's a truly innovative gameplay that I haven't seen anywhere else. I'm really surprised."

"The customizer is very extensive and allows us to mindlessly adjust the addition of key shapes, creating something both horrifying and beautiful, which is truly a unique experience. Afterward, to your amazement, you'll see that our effort is really worth the time spent because we can see it in the actual gameplay, which undoubtedly breaks all game development norms."

Highly customizable. Basically a make your waifu and go to town game for now. The game use a very clever QR code like system to determine all the parameters of all the characters and positions so what you'd be downloading are essentially just some png files. Players are posting all kinds of content in discord everyday, it's great.
The devs promised there'll be a story down the line. Really intrigued to see what this will eventually turn into.

Edit: 8 months later... The version number advance 0.01 per month, which is completely insane, at this rate we're gonna get the full 1.0 version after 6 and a half years jfc. They'll be getting roughly a million dollar in funds to develop this game in that time frame.
It's fucking insane things are moving this slow and the haven't dish out any meaningful content yet. It's all unreal engine tweaks and some voiced lines here and there. Do they really need hundreds of thousands of dollar to do that?
