I tried the game out about a year ago when I got my PC and enjoyed what bit I played. The optimization killed it for me I hate to say. I don't have a very powerful gpu. Just a 1660 ti. So coming back and seeing the plans and efforts to make the game more accessible AND bigger to boot is amazing! It's really ambitious to me at least, but like I said from what I had played, I felt quality there which is pretty rare for a lewd game. I'm excited for the changes and to give the game the chance it deserves, even more if you do end up getting it onto steam! I think the game is pretty unique with the vampire aspect, you guys did a great job with the modeling and the graphics are nice, the map is interesting and I'm a staunch believer of there never being enough adult games with a female lead. Good luck to you guys!

Clearly the dev out a lot of work and passion into this project but if I'm being honest. The voice acting and facial animations is quite bad compare to AAA games quality standard. For an indie project its passable though. If the dev is aiming for so bad that it good then they definitely successful. The was many moment the bad voice acting and awful cut scenes animations make the whole thing look hilarious. Ever watch India movies? That is what cutscenes in this game feel like.

Thank you very much!
We are very excited about the changes coming within the next two months =D

I don't really get where you are talking about the voice acting being bad. Can you be more specific?

I think this version still has a bug caused by the new eye-tracking mechanics. This issue was solved on the release we did for our patrons but version 0.20 is not stable enough to go public since we are still working on this milestone. So try again on the next patch because the whole open world will be looking bigger and the cutscenes will also be reviewed =)

In the mechanics? Probably not planned to be able to. But in the story you already turn 1 guy in the beginning of the game.

Oh, there will be monsters in the future but right now we don't have scenes with them yet. We won't have sex scenes with animals, but actual monsters. Now hm.. might be better to remove this tag until we add monster content though.

[News] Progress on world map

Hello everyone!

I'm here to show you some progress we have had so far with the .
Have you looked into Imposter lods?
They were originally created by unreal engine devs for use in fortnite
As you can see by Ryan Brucks
And a nice demo video here
here links to the latest maintained version


I personally use these where ever i can as there just simply better then the traditional lods
If your looking to squeeze as much performance as you can out of the the game then this is something you will want to look at
Its suggested to be best used for foliage but i use it on rocks and mountain meshes and buildings and monument meshes
Baking imposter lods is also very simple and automatable too so its not even like you have to go much out of your wat to test them out

In the first video i linked shows how quickly you can make a imposter lod

I also recommend checking out this method to save extra drawcalls in materials i use this for everything i do, i personally think it should be the new standard

As your currently in a state optimization i would recommend testing imposter lods out for your self in engine, the imposter lod plugin is pretty simple to use and implement and a savvy bp coder could fully automate a bp script to batch process all assets in the content browser

As for the material trick as i say i think it should be the new standard as it is less drawcalls for one and allows what the guy in the vid refers to as 'swatches'. Its simply better for quick variation in materials and colors for assets. Reducing number of materiel is always good, having one master materials instead of 20 mats offers even less drawcalls so its with perusing. Should have a nice effect on vram usage too

You may want to do test builds in ue5 if you havnt already, had one of my scenes go form 40 fps to 120 just simply switching to the new engine without activating nanite ect. Its surprisingly more compatible then i was expecting, just depends if you use any plugins that are not updated to ue5 yet i guess

Edit: just discovered epic has included the imposter baker into ue4 2.7 builds so you just need to enable it now you dont need to find it from github anymore

We can't transport the game to UE 5 yet because of plugins and other small problems we are facing on the game. Maybe next year or something.

About the imposter lod, I already mentioned that to our level desginer

Yer i my self are in the same boat there

As i said in my last post the imposter plugin is included in 4.27 and ue5 however if you need

This is the most up-to-date version of the plugin

there is also this
which iv not personally tested as i just now found it but seems to be the newest
(If you test this one out id be interested to know if it works and is any better in anyway)

As far as the plugin goes its not for ingame use its just simply an editor tool to generate the imposter materials and mesh once you have done that you dont need the plugin to use them so its not a case where using it effects anything to do with gameplay
You can keep the generation and plugin use in a separate project for example(which is what i do just for cleanness)

The performance gains is unparalleled compared to standard lods so its well worth it and in the end not actually that much hassle to setup

Edit: can confirm the imposter bake plugin is integrated as of 4.27 just need to enable it and restart

Just joined your discord 'Bluestar' on there so i can talk more there and offer other advice and other findings where i can
I recall some animation optimization stuff to also save frames

I have some stuff for animation and npc optimization would you like me to post it to you on discord rather then here?
Better for tech talk

Edit: messaged in general discussion
