RPGM - Into the Wild [Ep. 8] [DicPic Studio]

Genuinely the worst thing you can do with an RPGM type game is add too much text and then make it even worse by adding in pauses and such. Princess and Conquest does the same sort of thing. If you have to spend 5 minutes skipping text at the fastest possible speed you give the players and the scene takes up that entire time then you have major issues because I cant imagine not skipping text and waiting for the text to move at its glacier pace. Even with skipping scenes take way too fucking long to play out. Either the writer is bad or the person behind the project doesn't know how to write and it shows painfully so.

The gameplay itself is just kinda bad as well. I'll never understand people who try to add some sort of active based system in RPG maker type games when it doesn't support it well even if it can be done. Its one of those things you need to ask yourself "just because I can, does it mean I should?" The answer is no, you shouldn't. Your first interaction with this game is going to be timing based movement which isnt bad when you're given clearly the timing to expect. And then you get to the fire wall where you might find yourself losing to it a couple times before succeeding because the game is like "oh you didn't know exactly what was going to happen? Get fucked" and then you're just forced to do trial and error bullshit until you get it right once.

As for the scenes themselves, well, as mentioned before and by many others theres just too much text. It often gets really repetitive. I don't know how many times they've had to describe cum flowing out of Naira and down her legs several times. We get it, you literally said it like 10 text boxes ago, you don't have to say it again, and again, and again... The art and animation is the only thing this game has going for it and its bloated with a bunch of other things that just make it not very fun.

Just another project that has good art and animation that gets bogged down by time wasting and unfun content. It might as well have been a renpy VN and it would have been better.

This game has only one good thing going for it, the cute art. The gameplay is atrocious and grating at its worst, and more than slightly annoying at its best.

Don't be fooled into thinking it's just a limitation of the RPGMaker engine. There are plenty of games that not only have better keybinds, but much smoother movement controls.

Dev has been quite hostile as well. They even gate the walkthrough and a gallery function behind a Patreon linked account.

Pro:

• Cute art even though the faces are all a little same-y.
• Interesting premise
• Straight human on furry without loads of gay/futa content or massive extremely large women should be cherished.
• Characters seem fine
• Writing isn't all bad. Sometimes has its moments.

Con

• Most of the gameplay is aimlessly wandering around trying to find npcs or shuttling stuff back and forth
• The sex scenes are mountains of dialogue treading the same ground. Like they're really kind of awkwardly long for what's actually happening in the scene. You get both dialogue and internal stream of consciousness from both LI and MC. It's a bit much. And one scene will repeat the same ideas many many times.
• Writing has a ton of grammatical errors.
• Lack of gallery.

If you really like wandering around crappy rpgm environments searching for the next thing then this game is for you.

If you're hard up looking for straight human on furry girl content this game could be for you, but by fucking God you're going to have to work for it and hope you remember to save before the right scenes.

The preview images for this game are basically a lie. The drawn art is a small portion of the game and most of the time you'll be staring at rpgm pixel sprites and environments.

Pros :
Cute scenes
Good plot
2*s

Cons:
No Gallery or replay --> -1*
TOO MUCH TEXT --> -1*
Too difficult. The "puzzles" sometimes just dont make any sense. It's a porn game not a Souls game --> -1*

Overal :
2*s with potential to drop to 1*

My opinion : Not worth the trouble.

In my view and the money I spent on Patreon membership, I downloaded the first version to try and the latest version of the game. At first this game didn't have an NTR tag, but suddenly it had an NTR tag. It made me think that I didn't really want to play this game. But when I tried to play because I regretted the money I spent on membership. It makes me feel This game is quite boring and clearly a waste of time.

Here are some things the game should fix:
1. Skip the Sex scene because there is too much text. Just showing the picture of Sex is enough.
2. There is a Skip button for NTR.
3. There is a quest navigation system.
4. There are minigames in some quests.
5. Removed time countdown while in the jungle.
6. In the speaking scenes, the characters wish there were fewer speaking scenes.
7. Fix the game crash after pressing the Z button incorrectly to skip the message and the game freezes.
8. Take time to think about updated content for the game rather than sitting. It's better to remaster a few scenes and then have to wait months.

I hope game creators or developers will see my post and improve it.

Review after playing chapter 8:
Pros
Cute art
Straight furry stuff is hard to find and this definitely fills that void

Cons
No gallery to watch scenes again (looks like it is planned but isn't in the game yet)
The mini games and quests were horrendously designed, they are almost unbearable
The writing is pretty rough around the edges in a lot of parts
The art and animation in the first scene is great, but the stuff after doesn't compare as favorably

I played this for 5 hours to unlock all the content that is available so far and 4 and half hours of that time was spent walking back and forth in a massive city with fewer than 10 NPCs. I'd be fine with a massive city if it was populated and there was people to talk to, but most of the people you see are essentially ads for commission art which really ruins the verisimilitude of the world. There are frustrating side quests where the main character is getting super pissed as if to be funny that you are sharing the experience, but it's just painfully frustrating instead. Until further updates to gameplay have been made, I would recommend skipping this one or just getting to the first scene and enjoying the one good thing the game has to offer.

Good art and pretty okay writing (not so bad it takes you out of the content, but also not so absorbing you want to read everything carefully), even if the intro is kind of poorly written.

No mouse controls makes it pretty miserable to play, wanted to play more but couldn't force myself to, so unfortunately only a 3/5

++ Pretty art (With some animations to boot!)
+ Decent lore! (I've seen far worse in furry porn games.)

----- Paywall walkthrough (I understand we all need an income, but please... just humor me with that one.)
-- Asinine grind... (You're telling me you can only catch one fish per "24 hours"? Please... Again, humor me, I've seen some people reel in dozens in 24 hours.)
--- Non-Player "Female Protagonist" (Correct me if I'm wrong about what that tag really means.)

I'll give it a 4/5, though this is largely a score that's relative to its niche category. There aren't many games on this subject matter of this level of quality.

PROs:
- Really, I had a list of pros written up, but most of them were just fluff to pad out the list. The only thing that really matters are the furry girls. A human in a world of furry girls is a rare gem in the NSFW scene deserving of praise. There's a good bit of variety in both their art and personalities here.

- It has a dating mini-game which I found cute and amusing.

CONS:
- Main criticism, the writing: The game has a human x furry theme, but this mainly only exists in the artwork. The dialog poorly regards it and it could practically be a human x human game if the assets were swapped. The MC doesn't seem to have much reaction to talking to animal girls except for the very first one he meets. For example many of the girls' species are never once mentioned by name and I'm not even 100% sure what they are sometimes. The dialog and narrative is terse, lacking some flavorful adjective use. Like for example just changing "legs" to "furry legs" would be a nice bit of polish to drive the whole interspecies theme better, you know? Needs more fluff padding to help make things more character-driven.

- Lack of player agency: This may be just a matter of a lack of content, but sometimes the MC acts like a jerk and you don't have a choice. One example - he suddenly commits rape. Didn't enjoy it one bit and would have preferred having a choice on how I handled the scene. Having choices is what separates games from visual novels.

- The side quests are sort of tedious and annoying, but I guess there's no combat grind so it sort of balances out...

The main reason for the four stars is 1, the knock-off Indiana Jones MC is pretty sweet - I really like that idea.

And more importantly, the girls are adorable - even if you're not into furries, you don't know whether to pet them or fuck them they are so cute. The part that I think is interesting about this is this is also some of the most simplistic art I've seen that is enticing at the same time. So major kudos to the artist.

Now cons: The writing sucks. You can tell that English is not the writer/dev's first language (for those stuck at "follow the string", it's supposed to be "follow the [water] stream").

2nd, after you get to the town the whole thing is just grind. To go on a date and fuck this one chick, you have to get 5 fish. Great, but you're only allowed to fish once a day. Why? To inflate game time.

3rd, the town design is awful. It's huge with only 4 or 5 places that are significant - about 50-75% of your time will be running around the town.

So why 4 stars? The girls are so goddamn cute!

Well start off its furry girls, human male, and no gay content. That alone makes this a unicorn in the adult gaming world lol. Story isn't the best, your like a knock off indiana jones who bumps his head and gets stranded on furry girl island. I mean I got something like that minus indiana jones MC for my own story idea I been working on for ages in my head but never made anything of, but I wouldn't call it generic, just kind feels little cliche but I blame insekei style anime for this whole human droped into a world of fantasy feeling like a norm instead of a great creative idea

Anyways art is good, defiantly enjoying it. Its no picaso but way better then many rpg maker games hand drawn cg art you will see on this website. Plus it has stuff damn near impossible to make with 3d daz so it makes really jealous on that front to lol

Gameplay its little tedious that I can't use the mouse click movement I get for the trap bit keyboard is king, but it would make it less tedious to move around all the time wich your gonna do with mouse click, and move setting. Also not clear what model of RPGM it is but it appears to be one the two newer models so its an option, granted only the newest seems to do well with no frame loss using said option.

But over all, super unique for any hetero who wants to be human but fuck cute furry girls. Great art style, its cute, yet not too cute as to make them look chibi or childish. And my only complaint is the controls, I mean traditional controls are not horrible but the village for the girls is vast and slightly empty at this stage, its a lot of walking, mouse click movement would make it less tedious. And I keep hitting 0 on my numpad to open up the menu (I do NSFW left handed for uh reasons that require my right hand free, yes this don't need a mouse like say Illusion games, just what I am use to, like if you visited and saw mouse on left, means I was up to no good, right means I was playing Fallout or some shit lo)l that is normally a default for button 2 on rpgm but not on this game, not game breaking at all as you almost never need to open up that menu minus to save.

I've never really been into "furries", but I really like the artwork ...especially the cute design of the furry females. The environment design, on the other hand, really turned me off to the game. The "town" is ridiculously huge and walking around is made awkward due to the overabundance of objects in your way. I probably won't play this again but I did think the artist involved with character design did a great job.

Very nice game. Liked every bit of it

Only the huge Town is a bit overkill. And sometimes a bit hard to find the people. But hey all in all its very good. please more
the best encounter was the wild girl with the wip. that was so good.


fish on, rating, furry.

As of right now, (Dec. 27, 2020) there isn't much to the game as it is only on episode 3, but I absolutely love what there is so far.

The story seems fairly basic -guy crash-lands on an unknown island, discovers sexy furry girls- but I love that the MC is an Indiana-Jones-type explorer/adventurer.

The dialogue could definitely use some work with the grammar and spelling, but it does a decent enough job. The humor is good, too. Made me chuckle a few times.

The art is absolutely ADORABLE. Easily my favorite part about this game. All the furry girls are unbelievably cute. Even the ones who want to rip you to shreds lol. Cute + sexy is my favorite combination and this game NAILS it.

Also, and this isn't something I usually think about, but I really like the music choices. Especially when having "interactions" with the girls. It's the kind of music I could chill to. So that's always a plus.
