Unreal Engine Lewd Dragon Game [v0.0.13] [SpiceDrake]

[dragpz]

Game is pretty trash atm, not sure if paid version even works. You can press 'T' to delete the ground, and press 'Tab' to access the menu. You can't really do anything on the desktop version, and it looks like to do anything you need VR

 

[Dereth]

Okay seriously.
I get it. It isn't easy making a game. It takes time and a lot of effort.
But FFS. Asking for money while there barely ANYTHING in it yet is... not just shady but outright shitty.

Yes you need funds. Yes you need motivation. But this is not the way to do it. Give at least some basic interactions to the "F2P" people to give them at least something to look at besides a walking simulator.
And then you don't even have anything to show really to those who would pay?
You can't even say it is just a "proof of concept" thing, since nearly NO ONE would ask for money for such a stage in development.

Hell i am completely useless if it comes to gamedesign, but if i really wanted to i could do the same that has been done here already. And i would NOT ask money for that yet.
Put in some basic things for people to look at just so they can at least check up on it if it appears worth it to spend money on to get more options once they pay.
Like this it is kind of an insult to many hard working devs who really do a lot of work and barely ask for anything.

This is not meant to tell you, you can't pull this off or you should stop. No it is meant to tell you to sit down and work hard on it to really earn that money you ask for. You have an idea that many would wish for to exist. So you will be geting money once you bring something to the table. Trust me.

not to mention the uv mapping on the most important parts is a little sus

 

[ER420R]

Seems like its not worth downloading at this stage. I wanted to try it out but reading the comments here kinda conviced me to wait for a later version
Or at least till someone cracks the paywall, its kinda shady that a game in such an early state already has one anyways

I feel like dude definitely didn't care about making a game, but just wants money. Genuine question, how likely/easy is it to just grab a dragon model at slap it into a physics engine so the pussy can be spread? Been seeing these "games" crop up a lot.

People are abusing the crowd-funding model.
It should be "gathering supporting money" to finish the project.
But there's a lot of devs just using it as a easy cash-grab / or scam tool.
And there's not enough regulations to prevent them from doing it.
This "game" definitely is one of those that's just try to cash-in porn game money.

It’s REALLY easy to look at a monitor and judge everything with a critical and dehumanizing eye. There's no person, no context and no social ramifications to being toxic. So it’s really easy to just let the venom flow. I get it.

I am a houdini technical artist. I have been doing various 3D stuff for well over a decade. I have two degrees that directly correlate to this field. Odds are, without knowing it, several of you have seen my work in games. More games if you count developer artistry tools. In other words, I know the field very well.

Let it be noticed that my patreon is for me, not a game. LewdDragonGame is simply the game that I am working on. The scope of the game is small, and its development will not go on forever just to collect funds. The game has an end. When I find that the game is done AND is polished enough, the game will go free with nothing held back.

I will then work on the next game. If people want to support me, and/or have access while I develop, then they can stay a patron.

I live an extremely unpleasant life right now. This patreon is the only way I can make any money currently. The money is being put back into the game and escaping the hell that my family is in. Unlike other developers in this exact niche, I won't be checking out as soon as I make money. The small amount of money I get has a huge impact on my family’s quality of life. It's not spent on vanity. Only necessity.

I deeply care about doing well, and in a perfect world I wouldn't release anything until it was done. My loved ones and friends know what I am doing and have encouraged me to open the Patreon so that I can get paid while I develop. The patrons I do have are incredibly supportive and I don’t take a single one for granted.

It is incredibly hard for me to do social media. It's hard keeping things up to date. I always post progress in my discord and keep people up to date with weekly devlogs. So perhaps so much negativity is due to misrepresentation of the game due to outdated social media descriptions.

I know it's easy to be critical. But I am a one man show, with a lot going on in life. The game isn’t a scam. I am fully dedicated to it. It will eventually go free. Genuinely this is my dream job.

If you don't understand something that i am doing.... You don't have to assume the worst. Just ask. I am transparent on just about everything.

 

[ViviX12]

another one? definitely not the first of the kind around, bunch long abandoned
ignoring even the current state and whatever paywalls were put up, this one is putting itself in direct competition with projetcs of the kind that are still ongoing and with long head start, like FarmD
can this one even be made unique enough

It's also REALLY easy to accuse others of being Toxic in a really well written PR message.
But your message doesn't vibe with the facts:

• Why pay-wall the project out of the gate when there's literally nothing to show for, Then promise the finished product will be "Free"?
  • It should be the other way around - you are rightfully to be paid for your hard work, and people have no problem paying for a "finished game", but we are abused heavily already with all these Crowd-funding rabbit holes;
• If you really have good record and "know the field very well ", you will be listing the works you've done as the portfolio, instead of just saying it.
• Scamers always say they are not Scamers;
• You say you are not good with social media, yet this message is a perfect PR move, especially with the manipulative mention of "loved ones" / "family" / "hardship IRL" / "supportive community".

Anyway, if you are really authentic, why even care what's random people saying on a pirate site?
Just let your actions / project speak for you.

 

[BubblesTheAllMighty]

So what content is available currently?

 

[ER420R]

So what content is available currently?

if you dont pay? A dragon model that can be looked at from all sides, including a walking simulator.

Wall-o-Text

You are misunderstanding what we are on about here.

The reason we are being negative is because you put anti-consumer DRM in your game so we can't even try it. How the hell are you supposed to consider becoming a patron if you don't even know what are you going to get.

It usually takes people here a week to crack anything, so putting energy, work and money into a working DRM is the biggest waste of time.

And you can trust me on this one, a lot of people here, they try a patreon build of a game and become a patron themselves because they liked it, I and many others do this constantly.

If I want to support your game, it is because I believe in it and I want it to succeed, not because you forced me into it.

If you have noticed, most of the developers (here and just in general) who don't do paywalling and other nasty shit get the most funding, support, and love from the community, wonder why.

We have seen the "excessively aggressive DRM that took more time to implement than the whole game" model here far too many times to fall for it anymore.

BTW. I don't think people want you to release the game for free when it's done. If you have a good game, sell it. If the price is fair and the game deserves it, then nobody has any problem dropping the money for it.

Okay Redditors forum-goers, time to dissect this statement!

It’s REALLY easy to look at a monitor and judge everything with a critical and dehumanizing eye. There's no person, no context and no social ramifications to being toxic. So it’s really easy to just let the venom flow. I get it.

No one is being super toxic and "letting the venom flow". Everything stated in this thread thus far has been "What is in the game?" "Why is there so little in the game?" "I dislike paywalls." "I think this is a scam."

I am a houdini technical artist. I have been doing various 3D stuff for well over a decade. I have two degrees that directly correlate to this field. Odds are, without knowing it, several of you have seen my work in games. More games if you count developer artistry tools. In other words, I know the field very well.

Sounds like you are very accomplished and should have a very lucrative career. This is odd given what is later stated.

Let it be noticed that my patreon is for me, not a game.

I mean, that is how Patreon normally works. It exists for the creator or studio which has created the account. Yes. That said, it also works on a give/take model. You take money and give content. You don't just open a Patreon and get free money without having something to show for it. Again just an odd thing to point out.

LewdDragonGame is simply the game that I am working on.

Well yeah I'd hope that you're working on the game instead of using child labor.

The scope of the game is small, and its development will not go on forever just to collect funds.

Empty words.

The game has an end. When I find that the game is done AND is polished enough, the game will go free with nothing held back.

You can't say the game has an end when there's no goal, story, level design, or literally anything that would dictate a beginning and an end. Does the game end when the dragon climaxes? This goes on as long as you want. It's a physics-based sandbox sex simulator.

I will then work on the next game. If people want to support me, and/or have access while I develop, then they can stay a patron.

This should go without saying.

I live an extremely unpleasant life right now.

That sucks to hear man. Truly hope you can get out of that vaguely terrible situation.

This patreon is the only way I can make any money currently.

That's fuckin' stupid of you.

The money is being put back into the game and escaping the hell that my family is in.

Well it would certainly be strange if it was all put into an offshore account.

Unlike other developers in this exact niche, I won't be checking out as soon as I make money.

Empty words. Why would you even feel the need to point this out? Sussy

The small amount of money I get has a huge impact on my family’s quality of life.

You make it sound like you live in an impoverished, third-world country and are constantly starving, yet you have 2 degrees and a decade of experience in creating "stuff" that "odds are, without knowing it, several of you have seen [...] in games". Taking a quick look at your Patreon, you have one tier at $10 USD with 78 patrons currently. That's $780/month, which last time I checked is fucking pathetic. That's nothing. Genuinely. You have a family? A whole ass family? And you're only making $780/month? And some amount of that money is going back into the game? Either you're a horrible liar or really fucking stupid banking everything on a game that has to compete with several others in the same vein that have larger teams and/or have been around for much longer. You're fucking opening a barbershop next to a Fantastic Sams AND a Supercuts and you expect to make this work? Delusional.

It's not spent on vanity. Only necessity.

Why do you feel the need to say this?

I deeply care about doing well, and in a perfect world I wouldn't release anything until it was done.

But this is not a perfect world.

My loved ones and friends know what I am doing and have encouraged me to open the Patreon so that I can get paid while I develop.

Your loved ones (and friends) know that you live in literal, actual, Christian H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick Hell and that you had the bright idea to just start "developing" and they encouraged you to open a Patreon? No one said, "Hey Jacob, maybe you should use those 2 degrees and that decade of experience to try and find a job that pays well." You didn't even have the idea to open a Patreon yourself? You needed encouragement from others? Were you just going to develop this game without telling anyone or getting paid for it originally?

The patrons I do have are incredibly supportive and I don’t take a single one for granted.

This should go without saying. No need to praise them here, they're not reading this.

It is incredibly hard for me to do social media.

Sure.

It's hard keeping things up to date.

Uh-huh.

I always post progress in my discord and keep people up to date with weekly devlogs.

So it's not hard for you to do social media or keep things up-to-date.

So perhaps so much negativity is due to misrepresentation of the game due to outdated social media descriptions.

No I don't think that's where the negativity comes from.

I know it's easy to be critical. But I am a one man show, with a lot going on in life.

As are many others.

The game isn’t a scam.

I is never a good sign when you feel the need to say this.

I am fully dedicated to it.

You shouldn't be. I'm pretty sure your family in H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick Hell needs your full dedication.

It will eventually go free. Genuinely this is my dream job.

[X] to Doubt

If you don't understand something that i am doing.... You don't have to assume the worst. Just ask. I am transparent on just about everything.

Okay. I'm asking you, because I don't want to assume the worst. Explain your full situation, where you are from, where you went to school, post pictures of your degrees, explain what your family does, how they were forsaken to H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick Hell, and how this game and your Patreon is the solution.

You have my empathy for your situation, but you also should understand that you quite literally payWALLED the dragon off. Like you didn't withold a toy or something for the next public release like most other devs do, you unironically walled the entire game off. Of course people are going to react this way.

 

[catsdino]

I hope the dev takes this one on the chin and uses it as good criticism on how to win over an audience

 

[bethrezen0]

Saw gameplay of this on E6, it showed that game has an anthro character too, which got me interested.
apparently the game is completely paywalled, sad.
How does the DRM for the game work ? Is it through patreon authentication ? Do you get the unlimited access to the game after single pledge or you need to pay monthly to continue playing ? There is absolutely no info about that on his patreon page's FAQ.
In both cases it's not worth 10$ for an pre-alpha build, but if latter, i don't see any reason to even consider supporting this game like ever.
