Unreal Engine - My Lust Wish [v0.8.8 10$] [My Lust Wish]

OOF this game has such wasted potential.

It looks good and had some good animations, but everything else after the train is not fun at all.

There is too much grinding, and the survival mechanics interfere with everything you want to do.

I cannot recommend this game as it is.

Version: v0.2.5 [Vanilla Experience]

Review:
I wasted my time playing this. Seriously, it’s not because the game is bad, but it’s because of bugs and poor game management. I want to explain every detail of why I wasted my time playing, to know that I am not saying something out of context.
The game looks great when we play, and what really interested me was the school setting. But behind this game, you will waste a lot of time and feel like you are in a walking simulator game.
Gameplay:
The game is very poorly managed or poorly organized, the basic needs that the MC has ends up becoming quite irritating over time. In the beginning, you will eat and drink very little, go to the bathroom to pee and sleep. But as time goes by (or rather weeks) it starts to get insane, because MC always, I said, will always want to pee. After 45 seconds, the bathroom icon is yellow, after 35 seconds the icon is red and after 15 seconds she pisses in her pants. Dude, who makes a game like that? Worst of all, the map is big, you leave the dorm and go to the university, the MC pissed your pants twice. Is that serious? Eating and drinking is fine, but what the fuck is it to play a game with a management like that?
Other problems:
The lack of information that this game brings you, sometimes you are doing a task and you are STUCK in a fucking bug. The worst is that the events that happen in the game, the player is NOT INFORMED. You only receive few instructions, after that nothing. She doesn't even have information about the food, a cookbook, something that would explain why the hell MC feels like going to the bathroom all the time.
Graphics & Sexual Content:
The graphics are very good, the physics is also very good. I think only the graphics and character movement is the best thing about the game. Because the sexual content, I only got to see it at the beginning of the game and after that it was just a walking simulator. This is pathetic, there is also a mini-game during sex, when the MC masturbates she needs to do the mini-game. I don't know if this is good or bad, because I think it interesting but at the same time... I didn't see many scenes to be able to comment on it.

Why I did gave 2 star?
This game is great, the graphics are great, the physics are great, the movement is great, but the reason I gave it a 2 star rating is that with Vanilla Experience you can't enjoy and play. I mentioned the problems above, I know there are other ways, I mean, I just went to see it now, because I don’t usually play with cheats, but if you’re going to play this on Vanilla Experience don’t waste your time. Anyway, it is always good to have a complete experience, where we have played since the beginning, but unfortunately this game is not attending to that. So, in case you were interested and liked, wait for some updates, for now it is a walking and peeing simulator.

Incredible idea, after 4 hours of playtime I must give 2 thumbs up. If I had more thumbs they also would be pointing up. Thoroughly approve of the game/gameplay the concept and the artwork. At first before I played I had thought that the game reminds me of another title I had seen on these forums, but that illusion quickly faded once I booted up my first playthrough. I have to deduct 1 star on my review though because it seems as others have noted that is a literal backstop to doing many intended actions within the game at this time.

The game is in its infancy stage, so there is not much content. What is currently present in the game is absolutely fantastic. The only criticism of the game is the lack of content, but that is understandable considering the infancy of the game. I cannot wait to see the future of this game. I do wish that cheats were available in the lower tier Patreon levels (like the $10 or $20) version. It is not a dealbreaker, but something that would be nice.

First of all, the game has a lot of potential in my experience in playing this.
The graphics are great, interactions and controls feel good. Mini games content is a huge plus. I know people don't like them for being challenging but hell it brings more value and commitment into playing, the game does not have to please everyone so I hope you don't ever remove the ones now and keep adding more.

I do not like playing as a female character but this game has so many things of interest/potential that easy over comes this.

Things to consider
-Options needs to be fully filled out, but the graphic settings are great.
-The model will sometimes get displaced on top of any objects thats too short to walk under, like a door knob or a sink.
-being able to save on demand
-maybe an easy way to submit bugs. The game crash's (hence the no saving is a pain) and I would like to submit them to help development.

After playing for a bit, this is the biggest griefs I have with the game:
-walk/run is terribly limited and low
-the night and day transition is not good and the lights disappear randomly at night putting you in complete blackness/blind while navigating rooms is a nightmare. This needs to be addressed as going around at night is a huge part of the game's current build.

There's somethings I want to say about this game, so I'm going to review it. Hopefully developer will see it.

First of all, it's very much a 0.1. Not a lot of content or game play in the game yet, it's mostly a graphics/engine test. That said I'm not going to count that against it, as it's kind of expected. The game's graphics look amazing for an indie game, though it's not quite optimized as much as it could be yet, I'll imagine that'll come later. The game looks like it'll be very RPG-like with stats and ways to change the MCs body and personality, which is a pretty cool concept, though none of that is implemented yet.

Looking at the game play elements that are implemented, I can see some issues. The first is sleepiness, hunger, thirst and bathroom needs system. Right now, as time goes on you'll get a icon on your HUD to alert you of one of these needs and you can eat, drink, sleep and use the bathroom to alleviate those needs. There is no penalty right now for ignoring your needs, but I assume this'll eventually change. Right now the needs increase far too quickly. Keeping them all out of the red is quite the juggling act that would detract away from other game play elements, if there were any. Hopefully it's only so fast for testing purposes, and will be slowed down when other game play elements are introduced.

I'd also like to add, I hope we get a "warning stage" when it comes to needs. One mistake I've seen with these systems is there not being a "warning stage". Let me explain, when ever you go from not having a need icon to having the first one, it shouldn't come with a penalty. Like is should be something like:
stage 1: no icon, no penalty
stage 2: yellow icon, no penalty
stage 3: orange icon, small penalty
stage 4: red icon, big penalty
It just sucks to suddenly go from "your character is fine" to "your character is hungry, -10 stamina" without a warning between the two. A stage of "your character is starting to get hungry, no penalty yet, but you should eat" would be nice.

Another game play element I have issues with is the sex mini-game. I hate this shit, I hate this so much. Personally I don't want to play a guitar hero style timing rythme game during the sex scene, because I actually want to enjoy the sex scene by watching it. Having me have to pay attention to what button I need to press and when, forces me to pay attention to that and forces my attention away from the action. Hopefully this'll be changed to something a lot simpler (maybe something like Illusion's scroll wheel thing) or just scrapped all together in the future. Seriously, what's the point of having the sex scenes if they're going to be ruined by an annoying mini-game?

I tried v0.1 and I must say this with caution but... I think there is a potential new king of adult games here. It's not there yet - v0.1 has less content than I would like to see and it's not advanced yet and there are a lot of bugs, as expected from v0.1 in a full 3d game BUT....

If this is a show of what the team can do... man... it's pretty incredible and coming from an indie team and not a well established team like WildLife or FOW... I honestly have no idea how they were able to make something this high quality on their own. It can be and hopefully will be one of those games that are gonna lead the way and the quality for adult games in the future. It looks amazing. Like.. AMAZING.. and the game-play feels solid meaning it's a solid foundation that can be built upon to a great game, even if at the moment it's buggy.

I really hope I'm right and this project will be everything I hope for based on v0.1 but so far I'm honestly blown away and I think that's EXACTLY the kind of projects we as a community need to support because this can actually be in the long run one of the best projects out there.

An interesting first version.
However, I would have a few comments.

The controls are a bit vague, for example in the narrow toilet on campus. This also leads to clipping errors.

The lighting could be better, here too the Toitlette is mentioned as an example, but so is the girls' room.

Your needs still need to be adjusted. It cannot be that you ate and drank, went to bed at 10:50 p.m., woke up again at 1:12 a.m., hunger and thirst for red and pee for orange.
One is drinking, running one floor down to the toilet, is back in the room before 02:00 and the hunger is already yellow again.

The writing could be somewhat clearer in some cases. Especially with the many choices, the rather small font is not so nice to look at. Likewise, the spelling of the first sex scene takes some getting used to. I missed the first W, followed immediately by a D, which I didn't recognize as such. It wasn't until I missed two more characters that I realized what was now required.

Still, I'm going to watch the game. The beginning makes you want more.

This is the earliest possible build that could be released, and I think it detracted a lot from my first impressions. But I will Judge it based on what I saw from this.

On the graphics perspective it's obiviously the best 3d porn game so far, like actual effort went into this construction of atmosphere and models so OMEGA props here... But if graphics were all thatt mattered I'd go watch porn really.

Which brings us to gameplay/ optimization. In this part I have 3 major complaints that really destroyed any enjoyment I could get so let's go from less bad to actually egregious.

1. Sex QTEs: why? no really, why? I mean, I guess you get more involved in the scene, but I still see no reason to add this.

2. Sleeping: So I dunno if it's an issue due to no content after this first day or something else, but damn you sleep too little, and this is the first time I've ever complained about this. But since it might be because there are no quests later I feel like this is unfair to critisize, even though a "there are no more content on this build" kind of message would've been nice anyways.

3. PEE SIMULATOR 2020: You wanna make a needs system? go ahead! You wanna make it realistic? Do it! but fuck off with needing to pee every 2 minutes LMAO. There are things that do not need to be translated exactly into gameplay, and the 2 hours (~2minutes real time) you have before you have high need to pee is really short and it was quite annoying really. Other than that the need as a whole go down a tad too fast.

If at least the 3rd thing gets changed this will be miles better already. Now I dunno if my pc is getting slow, but the game has some hiccups here and there that will probably be fixed as we go along.

First off, the graphics are solid, and the options do matter. Unlike some other UE4 projects, turning graphics down does improve performance by a lot, and the higher settings do look great.

The needs and stat system seems like a solid foundation for a great sandboxy game. It does feel like it needs a few tweaks with how fast it increases and what are the downsides of being in the red.

The movement/sprinting system or the time also should be tweaked but feels good as a foundation for an 0.1. Ex: I found a way to get out of bounds, went to explore the town, by the time I was at the shore it was dark, even tough I left the campus area in afternoon. I mean, I'm a 22 year old smoker and I can run for a lot longer...

Speaking of going out of bounds, the town area seems like it has some thought put into it, as most buildings can be entered, yet they're empty, so it isn't a stretch to just furnish them, tweak some invisible walls and place NPCs and call them complete.

The most bizzare thing was the train station, wich was 1/2 floating, however It can be ignored, as I was not supposed to explore there.

Overall to finish, the sounds were good, the doors were annoying, didn't encounter many bugs, none that broke the game atleast, performance felt highly adjustable so that was great, the characters look great and the few that are in the game felt like they had their own flavour done to them just right, and every single animation looked great. Also I am a huge fan of the apparel customization and if this system gets options, it might just be one of the best I've seen.

a good potential and good looking graphics. Also the QTE maybe is a good idea. ofcourse theres a lot to do but in the future we will have a great game. Also the main character is good looking .
pros of the game. ofcourse the lack of content right now. but if the game wont be abandoned then its gonna be really popular

This game has a lot going for it. It's atmospheric in the way Life is Strange would be if you replaced the melancholy music with unsettling foley. It makes you look forward to future releases when you can explore the world of this game. Even ignoring atmosphere, the game is gorgeous, with probably the best character models I've seen in a UE4 game. The UI, too, has a great notebook design. The gameplay seems to be open-ended and intended to give you the kinds of RPG freedom that other games have really only attempted in 2D or text.

As of version 0.1, though, there are quite a few hiccups keeping it from being enjoyable, starting with bugs: from shadows being so unoptimized that even a 1080 struggles at medium, to collision bugs that can get you stuck on object meshes or in walls, forcing you to reload a save to break free, to an objective descriptor that refuses to disappear, to quite a few other bugs that might be considered nitpicks next to the more glaring issues.

It's not just bugs, though. I'm not sure if the game was translated or not, but the English suffers quite a bit. Beyond what seems to be a poor translation is clunky dialogue even for a porn game, with a character going from demanding the player describe images on a porn magazine you only half looked at 30 seconds earlier, to discussing disappearances in this college town with some mention of murder. It's the first dialogue interaction you experience during the opening scene, and I thought I had some idea what this was leading to: the stranger on a train that kickstarts the female MC's corruption journey with some sort of skeevy bargain. Pay up or service him sexually. That didn't turn out to be it, though. I'm not actually sure what the interaction was supposed to be.

You can, for the most part, with the exception of one truly incomprehensible interaction in which the MC infers that a character is rich because you can lie to her about the price of a soda, forgive the awkward dialogue for now. This is the first release. It's a 0.1, it's right there in the title, and there are worse JRPG translations out there in the mainstream market. The only drawback that can't be ignored, in my opinion, is turning sex events into quick-time button presses. The point of a porn game is to, if nothing else, look at the porn, not a small, timed indicator at the bottom of the screen telling you to press either W, A, S, or D, or risk not progressing through the sex. It seems like something you'd see in the flash sex games of the late 00s. What's worse is it's actually kind of difficult? I'm sure there are non-porn rhythm press games out there that start you off at a more leisurely pace. All of this is to say that during sex scenes, you will be squinting at the bottom of your screen, waiting for somewhat difficult to spot button cues, and not the sex. Why would fucking be important in a game about fucking?

Even with these negatives, though, I really wish nothing but the best for My Lust Wish. There is potential here for something better than most other UE4 x-rated games, but it's nigh impossible to see that potential when you need a 30x button combo streak to cum.
