Comparing to Wildlife is a bit unnecessary. I feel like Wildlife is stuck in the "milk dem patrons" phase for a really long time now. A dedicated team of people actually wanting to finish their product could progress reasonably well.
He wasnt comparing, he was using it as an example for what sounds like an idea-guy doing too much talking and not enough showing.
What makes you think the WL devs arent a "dedicated team of people who actually want to finish their product"?
Because they havent said so? Well hang on, if thats all it takes to get people here to realize that Ill tell the devs right away so they know what to say in their next update.
No mate, the problem is that most people on this site dont know how long it takes to make a reasonably sized 3D game so they lack the knowledge in the field to make the correct assumptions about why things take "so long" and start to vent their frustration by writing angry tantrums in here.

I think this is a cool prospect and I like the idea, I know the dev is serious because ive seen the kickstarter campaign which was also very detailed. All I ask for now is to humble your expectations and treat these game devs with fairness and understanding when the inevitable long drawn out development phase starts kicking in so we dont get the same nonsense that people are spilling out in the wild life thread and others like it.

The option to be male or female i am fine with.

Me personally don't like playing as a female as being male i would like to feel immersed as the character and as i don't have tit's or get giddy looking at them jiggle playing as a female doesn't catch my interest.

Have seen quite a few games on here that looked appealing till i seen female protag only tag.
Having the option to play Male or Female or even Futa if that's your thing will likely bring more people in.

Oh shit, here we go again. Some huge project with more iterations than some AAA games out there. I'm gonna repeat myself, you my dear devs are not gonna make it. I'm sorry but you are overambitious, same shit happened with Grimgate even tho there was 1 character only. I don't get it, why devs are trying to make some new Cyberpunk/Skyrim scale games?

im glad they are making their own stuff, the alphabet folks spend allot of time ruining established things, and not enough time trying to make their own stuff.
it is overly ambitious, and i think they ought to scale back a bit and work on making things that are good and compelling...quality over quantity.
that said, i don't know about the "Xavier Renegade Angel" vibes i get from the tiger armed dude, maybe its just me though.

judging from how badly simple walking is, falling animations constantly stuck, that's far from being able to go in the "good to play" games section.
Just compare it to the FIRST release of Carnal Instinct. Their first actual playable demo from a few days ago in November contains hours of gameplay and almost no bugs compared to this "prototype' with vast ambitions and zero delivery

The game looks interesting, I want to try it, I hope it will be a game that I will love and thanks to the people who contributed to the making of the game. :love:

Hey everyone! I am the lead for Monster Layer - I didn't realize there was a thread up as most of it is still early development and our focus right now is on the characters designs and modeling them right.
The movement feedback posted here is purely for getting input from the community on Discord about how 'they' want it to feel. It's more of a blank canvas for that purpose and it's unfortunate that the right context wasn't added to the OP.

Beautiful graphics. But gosh, I wish I could play as that girl in the SS. She's gorgeous. Having her as protag and lesbian content as well. Just having the option to choose between male and female protag would make this perfect.
Playing as a female is something we definitely want to do but that's not our current plan. We are starting off small and talk ambitiously about what we want to create - simply to let people know where this could lead if done right. It's not to over advertise or 'make a quick buck' - this is a serious endeavour and we want to make it the best we possibly can.

Enrith look like some kind chimera that for sure.
Absolutely! Enrith is actually the father of Rose (the female in the SS) - and as our Character Customizer is in development, that's why we used him as a run around character for the feedback.
Also why we didn't put Rose in to fuck in the small run around as it would be inappropriate.

Looks cool. Lets see if it gets somewhere.
Thank you! <3

Yhea,If we could play as her it would be really nice.
Well it's not ruled out but it's not ruled in either. We'll see what feels right as we progress but we definitely want to have a female player character later down the line.

Not bad. What is this about? Hybridisation?
This chimera looks too much complex.
Some female centaur or werewolf would be sexier.
Long story short - you fuck monster girls and gain powers - that turn you into a chimera depending on who you sleep with. That unlocks new abilities to further gameplay.

I want to play as a female. Damn how nice it would be to run and then look at her ass jiggle:love: from behind, and then look from the front to see how her tits are jiggling:love:.


(I ALWAYS DO THIS IN 3D ONLINE GAMES /UNREAL ENGINE GAMES WHERE YOU CAN PLAY AS A HOT BABE AND CUSTOMIZE HER TO BE EXTRA THICC:devilish:)
We definitely want to add in female character customization but due to budget and wanting to keep it within our scope the base game will be male.


I actually love that you playing male char and interact with females.
<3


Problem with thios is ... animations are out of the box .. so if they have nothing else, at least put those in.
I don't quite know what you mean by animations are out of the box.

Me: has a unique idea in head about game where you play a mutated man.



Me: Sees this.



Me: "Fuck."
<3 Well come join us on Discord and help with feedback!


We are releasing UE templates now? :D

Character work looks good (y)

Godspeed.
UE templates? This isn't an asset flip...

This game was crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
Absolutely, the base game was funded over on Kickstarter - the Patreon is a suplemental thing if people wanted the stretch goals featured there (LGBT, more characters and more story/lore)

Whoah, a 3D transformation-based game? Gotta say, much as I love CoC/Lilith's Throne, I would be stoked to play a game in the same vein where things are actually visualized. Likin' the graphics so far, but 100 races is very ambitious. I wish y'all well!
<3 Thank you so much! 100 races is very ambitious but definitely possible. It's all talk at the moment and depends heavily on support for that so our focus is on the base 5 girl game.

Code Vein


To each his own. But it would be nice if we could pick between if we want a male or female protag. If the're planing on making a 100 different races (which i think is impossible right now unless they make variations of the same race, but who knows, they might be able to pull it off!:sneaky:), then surely they could bother with a female protag and some hot interactions with males of different species:p.
Absolutely agree with you entirely! Definitely will have options for LGBT and female protag before we head for the hills with 100 races.

You just know, that man literally fucks. (y)

Never thought I would say this but, if we can play as one of these chicks, it's the best FURRY GAME ever. :lepew:



an-action-rpg-monster-layer-seeks-funding-on-kickstarter_cf190dae.png
Not quite a fury game in my personal opinion but if you feel like it fits your wants/needs then happy to oblige :D

Th prototype certainly looks great, but I wonder what is the game even supposed to be about. "100 different races ... different stages of hybridization ... more Fetishes, LGBT, Story and more" does not really say much gameplay-wise.





Considering their... rather ambitious plans, female protag is almost certain, if the game does not get stuck in development hell.
I think it was mischaracterized in the OP which is a bit unfortunate.

I wonder what is with UE games all being about Furry and Futanari
Well ours isn't...


They mostly need to restrain themself and start doing what they can as a decent thing before dreaming big.



i feel like reading a com from a president or some shit politician who fight for the main election.



"i can reduce taxes by 90%, give job to everybody and walk upside down on the moon with a tuba up my ass ! .... but for that my dear citizens, i need your money."





dudes are 3, they already dream about 500 to 1000 different chars in the game with story and all kind of kinks.

meanwhile, big team like Wildlife barely reach 20 chars.





dev ! Stop dreaming and start doing something to show what's good. I dont care about graphism, it's Unreal, obviously it's easyto get nice graphism in there. i want gameplay.



build 1 or 2 chars, add sex, gameplay and story. and then maybe i'll consider supporting ya.



as for now, it's nothing but a politician speech. (wich never end good)
I completely understand what you're saying but I also have to say that wildlife are clearly squandering their money. They have huge support on Patreon and checking in frequently on development - not to disrespect them but they should but way further ahead in both development, quality and story.

everytime I see a new ambitious project, especially if its a nice 3d game, I can't help myself from instantly thinking "more vaporware" or "another scam probably"

there's just too many "projects" and very, veeeery, few completed games



still there is hope.
Completely agree - and that's why I started this game. I would much rather have higher quality models and personally haven't found many games enjoyable for a long time. This is my opportunity to make something I would actually engage in even without the adult content.



I uh... they have human faces, so I'm not entierly sure about calling it furry. I highly believe that is what puts most of us off.
<3 That's one of our keys. We don't want to go a beastiality route like other games.

Comparing to Wildlife is a bit unnecessary. I feel like Wildlife is stuck in the "milk dem patrons" phase for a really long time now. A dedicated team of people actually wanting to finish their product could progress reasonably well.



But on one point I do agree - here devs are really overambitious (and cryptic about any details at the same time) and it feels like a ruse to grab some patrons with impossible promises.
I agree with the milking patrons thing. We aren't cryptic about details - if you have any questions feel free! I don't know what you mean by impossible promises, I think the reason why you feel that way is because we are finally doing the thing so many of us have actually wanted.
A proper adult RPG game with good graphics, story and gameplay.

I have yet to see a proper game of this type be brought to any satisfying state. There's a huge pile of failures and dead ends and if these devs don't reign in their ambitions that's where they will end up as well.

See you in a year when they finally have 1 basic sex scene and maybe 5 min of fetch quest gameplay
Well no fetch quest gameplay but sex scenes are ready! But our character customizer isn't ready yet so i'll keep you posted!

Another day, another misuse of the "furry" tag in F95. SSDD. At least here it kinda makes sense if someone just looked at the thumbnails and thought the dude had a beast head too or whatever instead of someone slapping the tag on a game that is 99.9% humans and then just the one human with cat ears and literally nothing else (as it seems to be the norm)



I've just eyeballed the Patreon posts but since everything seems to have a human face and chest/tits, imma say this should be "monster girl" at most, but not "furry" until they actually add beast heads. If they ever do that is
We wont be adding beast heads. Apologies -

Nice concept but walking simulator so far. Will look again when there's content.
Agree, the demo is purely for feedback in the community - not a representation of the game. It's a blank template to get feedback from those who want to get it feeling how they want.

First bit of feedback: make motion blur optional!
Thank you! Will do!

The 100 races certainly seems overly ambitious. It would already be overly ambitious to do this in 2D, without personal customization and hybridization. To do this in 3D would be pretty much impossible. Just look at those models. How much time went into just one of them? Weeks? Months?
The models take us around a week each with one artist. A lot of them will use more or less the same rig but custom animations need to be done per.



It is indeed overambitious as many have said already but maybe they might pull it off. I still really wish it the best though and hope it develop into some decent game-play at least . That being said, I'm personally very suspicious of these type of "quality" adult games as they remain in development for thousand of years. I have seen a few with many updates at first then slowed to rarely any updates over the years. Leaving the game with minimum content to really scratch the surface. I highly 100, maybe 97 or 90 percent doubt a team of 3 :alien::devilish::alien: could pull off having 100 unique races. But to contradict myself again:ROFLMAO:, you never know they might just be that dam good, it could be 100 different race but minimal AI interactions/systems and enough adult content + graphically difference to satisfy patrons. With all kind of procedural generated tech nowadays, assets and plugins , they just might.



With the "quality" presented so far, they would be a guarantee success if they managed a smaller goal, imho. I wish this game the best. Not my type of game, but I would mess around with it
Our goal is still the 5 girl base - the passing comment of 100+ was just in discussion with someone asking where we would like to see this going. It's a shame it was taken and added here without asking us first.

After looking at 3rd screenshot i would like to ask the dev: what the fuck is wrong with you to add it to the game and why the fuck do you think that adding a shit ton of it to the materials promoting your game was a good idea? The hell is wrong with you?
I'm not sure which one you are talking about but it was probably one shared within the community and wasn't meant to be shared as an actual piece of content.

Honestly, it's a porn game. Who really gives a shit about the story? I'd much prefer if devs spent more time on sandbox features rather than investing in quests and a storyline which half of you will just skip through. Just don't make the sex like an animation viewer and you're already on the right track.
I like your feedback and would agree with the storyline aspect which is why that's exactly what we are focusing on getting right.

Seems too ambitious, but I will gladly support if there will be some serious outcome soon.
<3 Thank you!



thing is.



This game present itself as an adventure game more than a straigth porn game.



if i see gameplay teaser that show me 2 chars fucking like freaking Honey select or else... then yeah, it's porn game.



But the show here clearly present the game as a RPG adventure style game way more than porn game.



when i see theses pictures and play what's here. I did not play it AT ALL like a porn game. i m probably not the only one reacting like this. But from what i see so far, this isn't porn at all. So of course it may change. But as for now, it's damn not porn.



And when you present a game like this, as an adventure game looking, way more than a porn game, the main point to attract people is to make quest, stories,missions and stuff.

Like i mentionned, if at the contrary you preent your game with a teaser of 2 people fucking, then yes, people will expect porn in it more than story.
The main aspect is fucking monster girls and taking powers - which unlock new fetishes.
But the entire plotpoint and story of the game could definitely work by replacing sex with simply killing and absorbing for example.

what all do you need on your team?

can we get more info on the setting? era? tone?
Setting/Era/Tone is medieval.

For a funded project on kickstarter... its kinda meh honestly. Not even a clear story at the start. Wtf are you supposed to do with so many characters
Come join the community and find out!

Dream game would be if you were to show us something solid from the start. Give us sex positions, some gameplay, perhaps even a story but give us characters and sexual positions. We're in a porn website and I think this is what a lot of people would want to see.
Well it wasn't originally posted by us on this forum - apologies for that.

damn they really got Thor as the thumbnail
Bahahaha yeah - someone said it was like Lucifer mixed with someone else I can't remember but it did.

Nothing to see yet, check tags and screen shots, THAT'S it for now
Could you message me on Discord so I know who you are? Would like to ask why you put this thread up in the context you did.

He wasnt comparing, he was using it as an example for what sounds like an idea-guy doing too much talking and not enough showing.

What makes you think the WL devs arent a "dedicated team of people who actually want to finish their product"?

Because they havent said so? Well hang on, if thats all it takes to get people here to realize that Ill tell the devs right away so they know what to say in their next update.

No mate, the problem is that most people on this site dont know how long it takes to make a reasonably sized 3D game so they lack the knowledge in the field to make the correct assumptions about why things take "so long" and start to vent their frustration by writing angry tantrums in here.



I think this is a cool prospect and I like the idea, I know the dev is serious because ive seen the kickstarter campaign which was also very detailed. All I ask for now is to humble your expectations and treat these game devs with fairness and understanding when the inevitable long drawn out development phase starts kicking in so we dont get the same nonsense that people are spilling out in the wild life thread and others like it.
Thank you so much! We are honestly doing our best and the same reasons these other people are hating on us is exactly why we took on this endeavour! To make it finally goddam happen! :D


Is a good game?
It will be :)

It's not even a game bro.
True. It's a movement feedback to make sure we didn't have weird controls people didn't like.

The option to be male or female i am fine with.



Me personally don't like playing as a female as being male i would like to feel immersed as the character and as i don't have tit's or get giddy looking at them jiggle playing as a female doesn't catch my interest.



Have seen quite a few games on here that looked appealing till i seen female protag only tag.

Having the option to play Male or Female or even Futa if that's your thing will likely bring more people in.

This is literally what I said when I started this endeavour. Not that we don't want female protag options - just each encounter should feel special, not 'just another dick to fuck' - when you play as a female.



Oh shit, here we go again. Some huge project with more iterations than some AAA games out there. I'm gonna repeat myself, you my dear devs are not gonna make it. I'm sorry but you are overambitious, same shit happened with Grimgate even tho there was 1 character only. I don't get it, why devs are trying to make some new Cyberpunk/Skyrim scale games?
I really don't understand why you wouldn't want something skyrim/cyberpunk scale when we are offering to do it at no cost to you? :D


Is there or will there be actual smut in this?
Abso-fucking-lutely.

im glad they are making their own stuff, the alphabet folks spend allot of time ruining established things, and not enough time trying to make their own stuff.

it is overly ambitious, and i think they ought to scale back a bit and work on making things that are good and compelling...quality over quantity.

that said, i don't know about the "Xavier Renegade Angel" vibes i get from the tiger armed dude, maybe its just me though.
<3 Thank you for your input.

Pregnancy, maybe? :HideThePain:
It's one thing that's being suggested frequently. It's one thing we are considering.

judging from how badly simple walking is, falling animations constantly stuck, that's far from being able to go in the "good to play" games section.

Just compare it to the FIRST release of Carnal Instinct. Their first actual playable demo from a few days ago in November contains hours of gameplay and almost no bugs compared to this "prototype' with vast ambitions and zero delivery
Just to be clear, OP DOES NOT work on the game. The movement feedback was PURELY for the community to give input on how they want the controls to feel. We want active feedback from people to get it right.


The game looks interesting, I want to try it, I hope it will be a game that I will love and thanks to the people who contributed to the making of the game. :love:
<3 Thank you!

i am stocking my balls up for this ...
Well that's certainly something :D

to make things clear.

i m not "hating" you.

i m just making my point by saying that presenting that much huge amount of promisses and yet releasing something that is bare bones isn't a great way to start and expect lots of support.

i may have wrong and i m not everybody's opinion.

But i (and "we") can't deny the fact that the game as for now sound promissing but yet show nothing.

i would have rpefer a beginning that isn't that optimistic , but with a presentation of something more "solid" to show.

many games that came out with unity or unreal in full 3D usually have this problem. They all show potential and great futur. But there is nothing concrete to garantee about that in what is actually presented.

will it be WildLife, your game here or any others like that roman slave game or else.

And i think it's the most important point for game developers. Not only to show promissing futur and stuff, but to actually show what you can do with something really solid.

1 chars, a few scenes and some small places to visit would be nice and better than nothing with dreams about futur.

that's my opinion, not everybody's one. But i think it's a good way to see things. It's like buying a house... i will prefer to pay for someone who show me the house foundation and telling me that the house will grow, than someone showing me the blueprint of a huge villa without even having to start digging opr placing a single brick.

But it's your game, soo you do like you want. i just saying that you should have start low with good stuff, instead of starting with blank demo and beautiful words.

(i exaggerrate, but you got what i mean...)

There is way too much promissing games that end with nothing. Simple people like me want to see something solid before dreaming big. :KEK:

Absolutely agree with you entirely - The entire focus right now is on the base with the 5 girls which I would have been able to talk about given the chance to be the one who made the thread rather than some complete random talking on our behalf.

Talking about the future of the game was based on what the community and team would like to see this turn into - not an empty promise or a promise whatsoever.

I appreciate your input and hope to impress you with what's to come!

While I might initially agree - I also want people to know what we are working on and give active feedback on questions they have. There is already someone else on this thread mentioning we are 'cryptic' - which just isn't the case at all, OP mischaracterized us which is unfortunate but I guess is up to them to do. They can do as they please as long as we have a chance to know about things like this thread so we can reply instead of OP speaking for us.
