Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

[melakuu]

Don't know about you guys but, i literally just create a character, rent an apartment and basically just press R over and over until something interesting happens. Since interacting with npcs is extremely repetitive and not interesting at all.

I've played this game quite a bunch and although i enjoy the idea, i can't shake the feeling that there is nothing to do basically.

Am i playing the game wrong? How do you guys play the game usually?

It's basically a sandbox situation. There are things to do, you just have to look for them. For example, you can go to university. Go to where one is, and sign up for classes. You can run a business. Find one you like and take it over. You can do quests. Open the journal page and do some quests.
It takes a bit of creativity on your own part to make it work.

In sandboxes, you usually fix yourself an objective and work towards it, but LP lacks that. You get what you want very easily, or in the case of stats, you have to grind hours of the same activity.
Yes, you can go to Uni, but why? Work experience almost doesn't matter. Run a business? Hire enough employees (there's an action that tells you if you have enough) and it runs itself. Plus, money is useless. Dating is just spending time spamming the same few actions at an npc until they agree to it.
The quest system is even worse, it's just a few events with barely any impact on the rest of the game, those events doesn't take anything else into account. And be careful about your current SO, because you can end up married with someone else by the end with some choices. Plus, it's been abandoned AFAIK.

The closest content you can do is seeing events. Find things that takes time (work, study, workout,...) in different places and random events might trigger. Some actions trigger an event after the time is spent too, but most don't.

See, I think a sandbox is supposed to be open ended. There IS no objective to work towards, apart from what you decide to do... such as getting a university degree. Beyond that, you just do what you do in real life... go to work, go on dates, etc.

True. I did not play the game in a long time, but last time i was either always fending against vampires and having my home invaded by orc/elf couples (i mean literaly several time in a row with a 0.2 event), and every time something that could interest me began my character was stuck with a broom, a notepad or a cup of coffee in his hand since actions began almost every time i cleaned, had a cup of coffee etc.

well there are few good mods that can help you out that the game can be more intresting, like the porn emipre mod where you run your own empire(like hire ppl,amking photo shoots or creating video`s,maintain website so t keep it intresting and relevant with the audiance, or other one is pimp your girl.....go to the first page of this thread,then go community made mods and look in there,there are plenty of mods to play with and on the discord page,they will help you out with anyquestions and if you want to make your own mod they will help you out with how too

Humm, don't know about that. I'll not say that I've done everything that you can possibly can since some content is not my cup of tea. But, I've tried basically all "careers", including crime. Became a mayor, a university student, opened my own business, etc.

And still, I think this game is bare bones and I'm being tame. I can't understand why a game with so much possibility lacks so much content, which is bizarre since this is the extreme opposite of the main selling point. Never mind I know the reason, patreons that commission specific fetishes instead of putting some pressure into actually adding real content, not just some random nonsensical events.

I've played some really bad games on this site and for most of them I don't even bother writing anything. But this game is an extremely rough gem, and I do hope that Vinfamy decides to make some actual content in the future.

I must say that catgirls are amazing, hopefully they'll add more furry races

 

[MrHatIsHere]

I'm having this issue where picking a new sex position moves the participants far into the distance. Is there a way to move them back to the room, or recenter the camera to their new position? I can change cameras, but that forces a first-person perspective, and changing back moves the camera far away from them.

It really is just as good as you make it out to be in your head. But after you ran out of scenarios to play, you come to this exact conclusion that it's very shallow.

Unlike many cashgrab games, this one is actually under constant and pretty reliable development. However it seems at some point the dev's priorities have shifted from improving gameplay aspects to just adding basic content (mainly scenes) and bugs. It's gotten to the point of him delaying updates because he literally forgot how some mechanics even work but definetly not abandoned.

A UE5 demo was mentioned at some point, a possible second game but more towards fantasy side, hair physics and genital penetration animations as well but we never heard anything more about those sadly. Just scenes after scenes after scenes. It's like constantly adding sand to the sandbox without adding new tools to play with. And I don't think you can mod gameplay or animations or clothes, just scenes afaik so modders can't help with this side either. I suppose in this case the chances of any significant future update are quite low so it is what it is.

If you don't mind the cartoony style, try Sims 4 with WickedWhims. That one surprisingly kept on improving and now it's pretty great with loads of animations and other complementary mods too. Actually started playing LifePlay because WickedWhims was barebones at the time, how the turntables...

Oh, I know the game isn't abandoned, I was only talking about the Quest system.

I'll grab that, the street map is pretty terrible otherwise.

is trap/crossdresser an option in the game?

 

[FrogComet]

When I buy appeal it never actually equips or goes into my inventory is there something I'm missing

 

[xsmaks]

Not really. You don't have fem clothes for male and can rarely change a male char to a more feminine optic. Also male chars don't have any options for makeup.
Vinfamy
PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR FAN COMMUNITY! Instead of creating new content, please, please focus on adding animations and accessories (e.g. femboy accessories, male bondage accessories, changing the dominance system to a gender-based one to be able to implement male submission, real implementation of watersports (-> currently no arousal through water games in sex scenes), updating the documentation for modders, fixing bugs (the stats are weird, calculations are wrong... depending on the difficulty level of the game...).
I'm sure this would make your game even more successful (IT DESERVES IT) and the vast majority of your fans, including patreons, would be willing to give up the KOTM for half a year if it would improve the game experience.
If you take the tenor of the feedbacks here seriously, you'll notice that many old-guard fans are about to turn their backs on you and your project.
At least, if I were you, I would ask the patreons if they see it the same way. I fully understand that the band plays what the paying audience would like to hear.

I am having issues with find anyone online with the NPC relationships, it always shows "should I try to look for online?", a space instead of the name of actual person, which results fails in each attemps. I used to have no problems like this in the game. Could anyone help me with this glitch please?
