Unreal Engine Project DPS [v1.0.7 PT Demo] [Bspined]

[bspppp]

Its rough around the edges, but with effort might be something good. Visually its fairly impressive and so is the music.

1) There are a gazillion typos and grammar issues. Sometimes within a single narration. A woman being called an it, a her, and a he, makes for a very confusing reading.

2) Navigation is horrendous. We need a map, or at least a minimap. I got way lost way too easily in my first dive, got cornered and died.

3) Combat is pretty meh. The upgrades don't really feel like upgrades and the guns lack oomph. The only upgrades that appear worth grabbing are the percentage modifiers, as the things like drone or random damage field is so inconsistent on damage and hitting targets its just not worth grabbing.

4) There is like a blurriness to the textures. Not sure if that is just something like chromatic aberration or what, but it looks gross.

5) I'm not a fan of short-haired girls, and didn't see an option for longer hair. Even a hair color option, might be nice. When I finally was defeated and went to idle, it said take off the suit, but her arms were still encased in metal.

6) Movement felt slot and my hitbox wasn't very clear. I didn't know when I was too close or not to an enemy. Also, enemies aren't making a noise when killed, so I frequently stepped on corpses, without realizing they were corpses.

7) The facility, I didn't understand its purpose, as all the things I could do elsewhere. And I got lost.

8) Gaining data packets seems to be hard. There is no magnet/vacuum effect, so you have to step on things to get them.

=====

I'm sure there is other things, but I can't think of anything right now, as I'm typing this up while really tired. If I think of anything else, I'll post some more feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. The translation is quite difficult. I guess I'll have to hire an English writer eventually. I'm not an English speaker, so getting the grammar right is a real pain.

There is a mini map. Depending on your version, it's either tab or m. It's not perfect yet, but it should help you find your way around.

As for the upgrades, you're right. They're pretty problematic. They'll be improved a lot in the next version. The stats that go up per level have changed, and the max level has been lowered to around 8, but the stats have definitely gone up.

Guns can be upgraded with in-game currency and modules.

Long hair for women has several options available in the full version.
There is no option for nudity yet, with arms and legs stripped off. I will add it sometime.

The purpose of the facility is not yet clear, but it will gradually replace the tasks that can be performed on the main screen, and reduce the purpose of the main screen.

Items for absorbing packets and experience points are included in the new version. I'm not sure if they were included in this version.

I've talked about quite a bit, but these are mostly things I'm trying to add or improve. I'm still developing them, so check out the new version to see what's changed.

"Boring" is a bit strong, just to much health, maybe a Rat king or ghost king type boss and it would be kinda strange for the bosses to have a lot of moveset when the room aren't that spacious with a swarm of mobs.


Well i can't speak about the Steam playtest but for the demo there is about enough Hscene the Data analysis got 3 x 3Agents so 9, the Facility give 2 but 1Agents probably give at least one defeated scene to show it's exist/possible.
Would it be hard to find pre-made sexy dance animation, more content with your model is always welcome.

The cut from your "Steam playtest Patreon only" for the "Demo" is too CLEAN if your trying to hook new patreon it doesn't show what the playtest as more to offer than the Demo.

Even the Title screen from the Demo is way too clean, you would find at least a mention/link to your Patreon/X/Youtube (if you put some gameplay footage on it) etc... /No progress report or a check list to keep check of what you added and no mention of the Playtest version with just a video like the one you posted for 1.0.6.
View attachment 5071532
Anybody that stumble upon the Demo and lazy/don't want to go search the internet will be left in dark, no credits or mention of you, it's creator either.

Don't go to big it's your first game, you need to be able to gauge it's sale performance/popularity and it's the start to building your reputation as a game creator unless you made only one and goes full DLC to keep it alive.

Originally, I had attached various attachments to the main screen (Patreon link, x link, etc.), but I removed them because they were rejected for build through steam. Since other people are doing it, I might have done something wrong.

And You're right. This is my first game I made, and it seems to be growing. At first, I started out with really small goals. I think it would be better not to be too greedy. But I can't help but want to do well.

Even in the Demo version? You can't even put you name right next to the "1.0.5 Demo" by Bspined?
The musics that play during dive is pretty nice by the way.

Did you think about making stage to the dive? You got 3type of Spiders and Humans right so like
Dive Stage 1: 15mins run with Spider (green only) same with Rat/Ghost/Human - Boss health reduced to 1/5
Dive Stage 2: 20mins run with Spiders (Green/Orange) same with Rats/Ghost/Human - Boss health reduced to 1/3
Dive Stage 2: 25mins run with Spiders (Green/Orange/White) same with Rats/Ghost/Human - Boss health 100%

Would it be a smart way to satisfy the player that want fast unlock through stage 1 and player that want challenge with stage 3.
And you can have more feedback with bosses having 3 differents stat

Honestly I am yet to see the point of having many rooms to go to when no matter where you are, enemies will come at you endlessly. There's no reason to progress to different rooms.

The goal is to look for the exist terminal through a virtual maze where the item memorie for data analysis hscene should be (they probably need their own box though rather than be put with the other items to avoid confusion), some room have upgrade red terminal or Ammo/Gift/Items box to loot too, is it not enough?
Enemies will come at you endlessly yes for a while then it goes down to 3-4 spawn and only by moving out to an other room the spawn restart to big number.
Is it the endless spawn that bother you? or would it be better to have the room with preset enemies?
Or the escape type mode that does not fit?
There is other mode of dive planned (there is a small part in the video with a Defeat all enemies text) but no public info.

Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you are the developer?

The game lacks a tutorial, so I didn't even think to try Tab or M. Most survivor-likes have them always active in the corner and if not active, then its assumed that unless the tutorial says otherwise, the feature doesn't exist.

Okay. Do you need some inspiration from various "smaller" indies that have done Vampire Survivors-like gameplay? They might give you some ideas on how to create some interesting level-up abilities or even interesting level-up systems.

With the in-game currency, do the guns keep the upgrade permanently (ie meta-progression) or is it per-run only?

Not sure why hair style is gated. I absolutely despise short-haired women, as it looks too masculine to me, so if I had to pay monthly to get hair, I just wouldn't play period.

Fair; the facility is a WIP. Good to know it will eventually replace the main screen. However, all terminals that can be interacted with, should display a "F" interaction... same with anything else that can be interacted with. And any displayed texts, show what button is used to advance them.

There is a rare item that absorbs all of them on the screen, like the magnet pickup in other games, but I meant automatic pickup without walking over them.

I don't know that an exit terminal existed, I never made it there. Also the part of "only by moving out to an other room the spawn restart to big number" is not correct because the last time I played it I was able to reach level 61 by only unlocking 3 rooms. The enemies just spawn repeatedly and come at me. So I thought the gameplay was some kind of endless bullet hell.

I agree a tuto would be nice, as for the pick up range well there is an Implants for it but it's locked in the demo this one

The enemies spawn number goes down a bit after a while since i don't need to shoot just let the drone do the killing.
As for the Goal it's only explained once per Agent with the Kiosk at the start of the Dive, here is the Exist terminal

With 2 items box, the big item box may need to be replaced with a Data analysis box, less confusion about the needed items for the Hscene.

Google search is still scary, there is more info on the game from the Itch.io page

They are way to upgrade weapon to be more powerfull with skill combo but it's locked in the demo, it's actualy hard to properly gauge the difficulty of the dive then.

What are release plans now that NSFW games aren't allowed on Steam, and yours has been pulled?

 

[TurboFisto]

Does anyone here know how to change the upscaling from TSR AA to FSR or DLSS? or how to disable anti aliasing effects?

Specific links are flagged by Steam as potentially malicious. If your game linked to one, they'd ban the game. So you have to make sure that the links don't lead to a location with viruses or malware. So, only link to sites that don't get immediately flagged in say a Steam comment section. ie linking to Patreon is probably okay, but linking to places like mediafire will get the link obscured. Even though mediafire doesn't usually have viruses, it sometimes can. So its a liability then for Steam; if a user clicks a link they "allow" and get malware, they are criminally liable for any damages that user gets. So they err on the safe side and block anything potentially dangerous.

What are release plans now that NSFW games aren't allowed on Steam, and yours has been pulled?

Most NSFW games are still there. They just can't be searched for. Its likely due to this stupid Ofcom (Britain) planning on implementing censorship and age verification services for British internet users and any game distributor will likely have to make changes to their game viewing to stay in the Britain market. Its the same with Itch.io; all the games are still there but you can't search for them at the moment.

Has nothing to do with Europe. It has to do with their payment processor saying they would pull all support and not process payments for them if they had adult games. The games have been removed, as in deleted.

Actually do your research.

It started because a Peter Kyle, of OFCOM, complained that there was an incest game on Steam, back in 2024. That led Steam to revoke that specific game. Then yesterday, OFCOM created the Online Safety Act and now Steam has banned more like it. The new Online Safety Act for British Citizens, wherein online platforms must do stringent Age-Verification. Like AI age identification or checking your credit card numbers. And the rest of Europe is following Britain's process and demanding it as well. So as Steam wants to stay in the EU it has to comply.

It's quite annoying, but it seems like the most common way is to block the adult-related parts of the game first, release it as a standard version, and then make the content accessible through an unofficial patch.

Yes, I felt that such an explanation was necessary and now the game screen includes key descriptions.


The maximum level of the skill has also been reduced and the amount of damage that increases per level has been adjusted. It has been made so that skills can be upgraded by combining items. It feels like a typical vampire survival game.

There are two types of gun upgrades. Guns that are upgraded in the outgame are applied permanently, while gun stats that are powered up by combining skills in the ingame are only applied in that dive.

I have nothing to say about the hairstyle. There's nothing I can do about things you don't like.. I'll eventually add more hairstyles, but I have no plans for now.

Have you though on Gumroad or SubscribeStar as an alternative?
--

Any though of having the Girls turn into enemies if we replay too much their nightmarish experience since it's update some of their personal stats it could also affect the likabality.
Like having likability/moral reach 0 with masochist stat maxed, they would just lock themself in their room indulging in those nightmerish memories as fallen masochistic whore? Having to go into a special dive and fighting them as boss to reset them back to normal.
Having lost all 3 Agents could lead to a game over?

Maybe with this kind of script for explaining the nightmarish events

This started with Collective Shout raising a stink with Steams Payment Processors. OSA went into effect yesterday, and ONLY effects the UK. Steam has been delisting adult games platform wide since July 16th because of Payment Processors. The law has nothing to do with other countries. The UK cannot make a law for other countries. A game that is not allowed in the UK is still allowed in countries without similar laws. This is called region locking. It is a regional thing, much like how Helldivers 2 is unavailable in certain countries where PSN is not allowed, because of the requirements of a PSN account.

Now that Steam Payment Processors refused to work with Steam if they allowed adult games, Steam has been forced to pull ALL of their adult games to appease their payment processor. That means, it is company wide, and NOT region restricted.

OSA has nothing to do with adult games being delisted in countries outside of the UK. OSA only effects the UK.
