Ha ha ha... well shit.... omfg
this turned so bizarre and funny i dont know if cry or laugh, oh dear god, glad i stopped supporting his patreon when saw the first red flag, still a lil butt-hurted by the initial money lost but whatever... is a shame the only thing it reinforced to me is NEVER support anyone showing an unfinished product or any project in patreon or kickstarted, only and ONLY finished products, it hurts true entrepreneurs but well....

Still supporting few patreon authors as of this day, few of them are sharing their content 100% for free and when i see their pat numbers growing it's like
,, Fek yeah. He deserves it ''

Hmnnn. But the key is the constant progress, not,
,, The ALPHA shows up somewhere between this spring and... 2050~' And yes it's a NSFW game but we change it into a non NSFW but you can make it NSFW with mods. So it started as a NSFW, now is not NSFW, but one day you can change it to NSFW. Now all our, mostly, NSFW fans, wait for the next awesome UI update !''

This game crash so hard, it delete my gpu driver
Anyone here have same issue with AMD ?

 

[johnSghetti29]

this project is prolly coming to an end. with the closing of the patreon page, no additional content aside from an engine rework and spoon-fed empty playtests after several years. its unlikely the steam page will drop and when the patreon inevitably comes back for funding i would highly suggest not pledging again

At first I was like "2026/7 sounds ages away", but then I realised it's 2025 in a few weeks

When time comes to 2026-27 - it's gonna shift to 2028-29, mark my words

 

[Maximus_Jack19]

Well, this was a gigantic waste of time for anyone remotely interested in this project. Dead game until proven otherwise, goodbye gents.

Deleting the entire Patreon is whats rubbing me the wrong way.
At best it was a gross over-reaction, at worst it was done intentionally to bury the fact the project started out NSFW and drew in a bunch of people and then shifted gears midway through and subsequently pissed a bunch of those people off.

It didn't happened midway.

You know, i was there since 40 ~ patrons, supporting financially for a ~9 months. I don't care about money, i wanted the project to come into life. Awesome idea, atmosphere, holy shit yes.

Now i am in my own UE5 journey, animating, rigging, blueprints, blender, all of that good stuff.
But even then, without any experience in it, something - was not right. Something was fishy in the first few months.

1 month passed, two, three, 6 months passed... And it was the same 4 NSFW anims and ,, updates '' like :

,, Hey guys, look, i did this and that and it's VERY IMPORTANT for us, and the NSFW anims are... They will be there soon ! ''

And i was like



Other patrons were like ,, Yeahhhh ! '' But i bet, some had this Gandalf's look as well, you just don't want to look like a sycho/hater and say... Nothing.

ROGUE PROTOCOL (formerly OGZ) is the official name of this game and the steam page will be launched as a non adult game. (Mod required for smut)
- Patrons who got the lifetime pledge above $50 would get 3 steam keys: base game, Veteran Edition (DLC), Artwork and Soundtrack (DLC)
- Patrons who got the lifetime pledge above $20 would only get 1 steam key: base game.
The game will not be visible in the steam library and the game can't be installed until the game is in Early Access. Smut mod will launch the same day as Early Access release somewhere on Pixiv for free.

Please do not pledge more because this is the final post on Patreon. Active and Non Active Patrons will get the same offer.

Will there be a non-steam version?

After reading this from the post:
"
The game is established as an Immersive Sandbox Open-World Action-Adventure Role-Playing Game with the game world size of 100 million km2 or 1/5 of the real Earth size featuring a ship as a primary vehicle and 2/4 wheel vehicle as secondary vehicles.
Ability to explore the entire planet almost seamlessly with the POIs across a planet to visit. Almost every building will be enterable, almost every room will be explorable. Randomized but with rule set and logic.
"
It would appear they've started comparing it to Starfield instead of Fallout/Skyrim.
When I see somebody boast how big their proc-gen world is, especially when it's one fifth the size of Earth, I can't help but picture one big, fat, nothingburger.
Hopefully i'm wrong and this is so much egg on my face, but i'm not holding my breath.

Veteran Edition (DLC)

I remember the backlash about DLCs being announced before the game was even released. I suppose its become a norm now.

New episode for KiraTV.

To put things into perspective, this, took me almost a month to be made. And it has no npcs, no quests, nothing. Just meshes. Two days on the shop and it's interior alone (mid-left ,,Resources'' sign)



And boyz are talking about millions of square kilometers.

Lies. Or you will get an empty space - procedurally generated terrain with nothing to do.



You boyz, Alket , u gonna have like 255,036 levels ?



Seriously ?

Last time i checked, you couldn't finish, -
one level.

One that made 1% of one max sized level.

Bloated ambition. Dev never rolled even a small game that is complete. Yet targeting this scale. I will not be surprised if this game ends up being buried under negative reviews. Also funny part is that he kept refusing any help along development process and now outsourcing smut content to some another dude who will roll it out 2-3 years later from this approximate time point.

What exactly is included in a 'Veteran Edition (DLC)'?
The other two things are self-explanatory, but asking people to fork over another $30 to get a DLC this way without telling people the bare minimum about it is skeevy.
I was going to ask on the post itself, but comments are disabled.

I believe you might have misunderstood: you don't have to give more money now, this was specifically stated, do not pledge now, the key you get are based on the total contribution to Patreon up until now, so if you gave Matto 50 or more, you get Veteran edition that will include all future content for the game. Do not pledge more now, this is not a preorder, don't treat it as such, this is just the conclusion of the crowdfund.

1/5 of earth's surface, 100 million km2, Alket , that's way too humble. For starters you should go for at least for ~50% and full Mars planet as DLC.

I know that it was hard to finish up few square KMs in two years +, but guys don't give up.

Sarcasm.
