Unreal Engine Project Extermination: Operation GroundZeroes [Phase 2 - 2023-07-16] [MATEYDEV]

[nattravnen]

When will be the next playable demo available? And i've seen last post he made about the game so it seems he is gonna make the base game totally independent from adult content or that is what i understood from it. My question is when we use the adult content as a mod is it gonna be disjointed from the base game or is he gonna add special skills or traits that works with the added mods. I personally don't like adult stuff added to the game just for seeing a couple of animations, it would be much better to just mod skyrim or something. I know he planned some rescuing missions for last missed operator or that's what i remember but i hope he integrates more core mechanics to the game that works for adult part.

"First, let's clarify that I will refer to NSFW/ADULT and PORN content as 2 separate things. What is defined as NSFW-content in Vanilla OGZ:

• general settings & themes: the world at large is intended to be an unforgiving, depressing, mostly (unless you include the porn-addon, then it will be fully) uncensored mess for you to navigate and survive on.
• violence.
• nudity.

What is defined as PORN-content in Modded OGZ:

• any sexual action between PC/NPC & NPC, this will consist mainly (if not only) by scenes between monsters and human characters.
  • extremely specific and explicit references to sexual violence, this includes images and encounters (this theme will nevertheless be a part of the adult-content in a more implied way)

----------------------- Now, PORN content will be released as part of a highly integrated mod and will include events, game-play events, missions and mechanics, but to what extent is still TBD. Game-over scenes are not the focus, expecially since reaching a game-over will mean having your squad of operators wiped, but will probably be there. Matto will correct me if I'm wrong and add to this if I missed something once he reads it."

There is a lot to unpack and a lot to read.

TLDR: the world assets building and the last functional systems are being worked on, job system and missions are the last things that are not test ready yet.
Adult mod with missions and animations will be worked on at a later date, as discussed multiple times.

it's gonna be one of those things where you came for porn but the gameplay makes you stay.

shin_ if you encountered a fatal error would you mind, since the game it's in development, share your experience instead of review bombing?

please, read the known bugs, if this is your case...

Fr lol, at first was just interested in the porn, but this dev is actually making a LOT of progress compared to other UE porn games in the work atm. This and Under the Witch are like the only two unreal engine games so far(at least that I know of) that has actual gameplay AND porn.

It's not clear, but in Patreon he wrote the issue on the 10th, and in Discord on the 15th or later

Have I misunderstood you?

Confusion prob comes from skimming through the post and seeing the date at the bottom saying, " My deadline for the Job system is 10th of this month"

Honestly if he wants to make a game, he should go make a game. not make a "mod" later on to his own game. shame we lost the last thing he was working on due to a system failing component and he had no backup data

What was that? Also I’m out the loop, but it seems there’s a big divide between people in his direction. Seems some want more porn and some want him to continue. The best I got out of all this was he lured people in with h content and then went about doing what he wanted.

Matto wanted to make a game with adult elements:
Matto is making a game and decided that he would have the adult elements module separated from the main game to avoid legal issues.
Final retail game + the adult module (downloaded from third party, non mainstream sites) = completed product as originally advertised.

End of discussion.

Stop pushing a false narrative please, even if it stems from "being out of the loop" or "being un/mis-informed" it still creates issues due to the spread of false information. Thanks.

edit: this sounded like an outburst, it kinda is, sorry; if you're out of the loop or lack some pieces of information, please, feel free to ask, don't just put out statements as facts. Again, thanks.

I really don't understand where this whole "lured people in with porn game" idea started because it's my understanding the intention has always been 'game first, porn later'. They've been more than transparent about it. Hell, half of Alket's posts, it feels like, are telling people who ask 'where porn' what the dev's plan is; that being 'game first, porn in a patch later'

Just feels like this whole 'dev sucks, actually' mentality popped up out of nowhere because it's been an arbitrary amount of time without H content and now it's a problem. Phase 3 is, to my knowledge, the H content update. If that, or whichever update is the H content update, drops and we don't get H content, i'll be right there with you with the pitchforks.

they started being transparent after reaching 1000 patreons, before that it was a "porn game", in fact after that they started losing patreons

There is an inherit risk when backing a product in early stages of development, as it might evolve in a direction that you don't completely agree on, especially if the game is not even out of the prototype phase; but that's the beauty of open development crowdfunding, you don't like it? leave.

Matto is creating a game with adult elements, the adult elements will be shipped in an external module to avoid legal issue with certain countries and expand the potential reach of the game...moreover, to keep his image as a dev "clean" he asked a third party to do the adult animations (as the mission framework and event systems are "shared" with the rest of the main game).

Due to how he handles development of the game, he creates the big stuff first, then populate the big stuff with the small stuff, mission and events and animations are the small stuff that will bring life to the world and will come later in due time, probably shortly after the Steam page for EA will be up and running.

Things of this scale take time and you've seen on the various Patreon's post the progress he's making, we can all agree that we don't want the developers to fail now, don't we? We want them to succeed so that we can play the stuff, so if we all could just keep the criticism constructive and not just "Dev scams, where porn?" we might actually all live better...

In the end, please realize: this game is more than just porn, it wants to be a game first with some porn as part of the horror elements, because that's what the idea the dev likes.

Feel free to ask any questions regarding the development or the game's direction, if I can I will answer, if I can't I'll ask and get back at you.

sure bro keep saying the same things over and over again, still doesnt change the fact that he changed direction as soon he saw enough support, its clearly as day that he used the first versions to get as much support from this community cause if not, like you said, he would have already started with the big thing but he decided to show off the porn first

It's looking good to me, so far. I prefer my adult games to be more than a gallery. Which is why I enjoy games like this one, and those other open world games from "Bugthesda", which I've installed a bunch of lewd mods into.
I still plan to add OGZ to my Steam Wishlist, whenever it pops up in the Steam store.
