Unreal Engine Monolith Bay [v1.0 Beta] [Team Monolith]

[CheesyPnut98]

I'm an android user, the game looks dope, controls feel nice, character creation is fire, i have never seen a game with a really good and well done character creator on android like this, so BIG props to that, however, there is so little content for the free android version right now and i can't really see if i want to support it or not, i'll wait until there is a more updated version for android until i decide if i want to support the project or not.
I really don't think it's a good idea to not update the free android version and lock new updates behind a paywall, in the long run people will lose interest and not even bother with this game anymore, i don't think you're gonna get android users hooked for the game like that, i understand it though, mans gotta make money to keep updating the game, and i understand if you'd rather not publish a bad and still under development version of the game but rather wait until there is a real good and solid version to publish for free but i still don't think it's a good idea.

I have high hopes though, and i'm pretty sure i'm going to suport the project once there is a more updated free version for me to check out, but i'll have to wait and see.

No incest tag? I guess banging Violet is out of the question?

You do bang Vi in the story, but she is your step sister

Any walkthrough?

 

[Majordeathwish]

Is the main character still gross looking? That's the one thing that really brings me out of the experience. Also not sure if my computer is just really shitty, but on the lowest graphics and at 50% texture resolution, as well as windowed and decreased size it still ran really slow and occasionally stuttered. The loading screens would also constantly hang for minutes at a time. I have a mid-tier gaming computer so I don't think it's my computer, but I could be wrong. Game is fun though.

 

[LaterGater]

This looks pretty great honestly, Still its got issues. I can get past the spineless MC (seriously your sister in gone on some weird deal for an entire day and he doesn't worry? I get she's badass but yeesh.). But not being able to save from the menu in an open world game is a massive turn off.

I think this could easily be the best open world 3d game I've tried yet. But the fact you need to spend time to save is horrible design.

I guess the dev could be worried about people abusing a save system to get affections points, but it'd be worth the downside. Right know I think its pretty unplayable. No one wants to lose a bunch of progress when they need to leave PC in a rush or when the game crashes.

At the very least they should add a bunch of ''save items'' all over the place like Rockstar did in Bully.

character creation still need individual leg option.

Sadly not aware of any recent ones :/

In this version he does, but our next release focuses on MCs look.
What are your specs? we had no problem running the game on an 8-year-old laptop.

I see your issue with saving, thing is our game loop is very persona-like/per day oriented, saving mid-day would be very game-breaking and abusive. But we are looking for ways to be able to end a day faster and save. For now, did you know you can quick travel to your bed from the map and save, this should be faster than walking for now.

0.7.1 bug?

On the 1. Day day she (Sister) likes me more as at 3. Day. Why? Is this normal or a bug?

Graphic bug
1) 3. Day & 4 Day
Girl on the bench (Debbie), the left foot is in the grass and you can`t see it (you can go out with the map).
2) 4 Day One foot from you are aso in the grass.
3) 4 Day. Bus Driver sits before the bus.

When I see these bugs after a short time then you need a lot of improvement.

Maybe it is worth in a few months and updates to prove it again.

Censored: No ? ... shoulden't be a yes due to the comments about public version being censored

Can't tell if its something ill like. Im on android, and your game doesn't fit the screen, can't actually play anything other than the character creator which as far as I can is still shit, clothes don't fit at all, either things are too big or small enough the don't fit the body at all. And ofcourse can't play anything of the game or the 'sandbox' because its locked to patreon.

So good luck with your little project but I won't be holding my breath for the android problems to be fixed at all

Outdated comments, only the very first public version was censored as there was no other difference to the Patreon version yet. Even after the public version is 100% uncensored.

Sometimes the relation state gets displayed wrong but if you go into "bonds" inside the pause menu you should see the actual value. We are trying to keep bugs low but the game is in fast development with things changing fast so we can clear out every bug that comes across, but the 1.0.0 release will aim remove all bugs for good.

The android version is just a small demo of the character creator/adult sandbox and does not represent PC version. We plan on binging the full game to android when the PC version is close to completed

i cannot seem to do the pizza minigame i walked into the store and nothing happens

Do you have the task to look for a job? If not it might be to early to start it.

I'm not sure I understand why saving mid day is such a big issue, plenty of open world games allow it, but its your game. Still, that's a deal breaker for me. I couldn't imagine buying a game that doesn't respect the player's freedom enough to allow them to save whenever. I'm the kinda guy that hard-saves every 5 min when playing skyrim lol.

Best of luck though, looks very good otherwise.
