Unreal Engine - Real Life Sunbay [v1.3 Beta] [Tom]

It's very unfinished right now, hence a lot of the bad reviews, but it does say it's in *beta*. It's got extremely high quality animations - some of the best I've ever seen - and if you download both v1.3 and the previous v0.6 (which had the female MC content) then there's a lot there!

Not a bad game, although a little damp, I don’t understand why the author decided to switch from a female character to a male one? It would be better if I created it for 2 genders than for one, there are bugs and crashes, but otherwise it’s very good!

The game iself looks and runs very well.
The core gameplay, can be a bit janky from time to time, but overall enjoyable.
The addition of the "gnag" members where a bit overwhelming at first.
Can I suggest to please remove the ones out side the apartment complex as they followw you into your apartment and try to fight you, bother of them.

Real Life Sunbay. Oh boy. This game has POTENTIAL.

I spend around 1-2 hours so far.

Not bad but also not good, Yet.

The combat is so barebones, Poorly executed, There is mo stamina in combat and the AI is so braindead that you can just spam click to kill your foes. There is a block function but it is not needed. The dev needs to overhaul it.

The character creation, barebones aswell, real barebones. Basically almost no options, we cannot have Magnum Dongs, there is no pp slider, no height slider, no body type slider.

The game however look pretty good, Typical Unreal Engine game, "Focus on graphics, Gsmeplay second" as it seems.

The performance is... Suboptimal, I run it a RX580 with a I5-7500 and I need to play on lowest settings to make my PC not pass away. But aside from that i experienced NO stutters.

My problem is thst the game is like supposed to be a Porn GTA, But I cannot buy guns and go on a murder spree or go ane buy cars.

I had minimal fun, But the potential is there but needs alot of time to be "Good".

For now I give it a 4/10, Check it out and see for yourself.

I think that this game has a lot of potential. The overall idea and creation is very well done in my opinion. For now, there are too many game-breaking bugs for it to be consistently playable, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Okay, Real Life Sunbay.

Honestly, I don't understand what's happening. Why does a developer with 999 years of experience produce something so crappy? Let's go in order. It's been several years since I first looked at this, and as an honest person who's not afraid to call out nonsense, even if I turn out to be wrong, I admit it. But this is a dumpster fire. The project has more problems than on the loading screen. I don't understand what's wrong with it. Almost every aspect of the project is bad, from the female character to the male character, from flying cars to no cars at all. Then there's a bicycle that floats like a boat in a storm. Come on, guys, it's like GTA with porn, a sensation, what many are waiting for. Wow. But it's terrible, a complete mess. What's here? Nothing. I don't understand the point of this project at all. Let's pretend everything is okay because nothing is okay. As I understand, this is the "sinking in the swamp" section. This project is not moving in any direction. Sorry, it's moving backward. Each update brings us only chaos and empty promises that materialize into unplayable versions with a bunch of problems, like drone flying and collecting cans because you're tired. I'm tired too, tired of trying to find something good where it simply doesn't exist. It's not there. Are you ready to give it a 5 because of a beautiful character? No way. I wanted to see GTA, but it's not there. Eternal swamp and a bunch of problems, from a dull gameplay that can't keep you interested, to playing OSU or figuring out how to change characters. The number of bugs hasn't decreased, and with the content, who knows what's going on (I'm not talking about adult content, but about the lack of any meaningful content).

When can I finally rob a bank and fly a helicopter?

the idea of have sex gta game its good thing because there alot of people how use mod on gta to have something ''FUN'' anyway the graphic its look amazing now the important things gameplay sucks because when I dont have a car I have to walk alot and the MC stamina drain so fast so long boring and after first missing and get the '' thing '' to fuck the girl in the ass and get back to her I have to wait until morning when the game use real time really even using cheat engine to speed the game no use and the room have bed to sleep and may wake up the door locked really ???? WTF and there nothing I can do until the game become morning and sometimes the game bugs and turn form F player to M player and alot of bugs everywhere and no activity to enjoy the world and at least the M gameplay mission look fun

Nince animatios !
I will be curious to see what will happen. The graphics are also fine, although unfortunately there is nothing to do with the NPC! And there isn't much content in it. Also, there is a bug in the strip bar.

well, first of all I really like open world game this game is like GTA sex game i guess . you can play story line or sandbox and can choose male or female character but I prefer male character only . I hope dev keep updating with male character until game finished to final state and after game complete, dev can do female character (just my POV) and this game has nice graphic too . I hope there are more upcoming updates.

Barebones and glitchy. Love the idea of porn GTA, but the game has a long way to go to be playable at the time of review.
Love the fact that character customization is a thing - both PC and NPC, but the core gameplay loop currently is dreck, and a lot of the content that is already in the game does not work, or is jank af.
I hope the dev(s) keep working on it, as the game has a potential, but as of now - not worth the time or money.

As of [v0.4.3]


This is a prime example of how to milk Patrons. If the developers focus on one thing instead of flip flopping between the game, then maybe we would have a well balanced game with plenty of content.

Instead we have this mess of whatever the fuck it is.

Oh, you want that guide? It is easy if you follow this developer but if not.

Step one, make base game with one gender(male or female) since it started male.
Then make an update focusing on a female lead. After cutting all content prior of the male lead.
Now then, flip flop between the two adding content. And focusing on that one gender, again cutting all material prior to the other gender in the game.
Okay, good so far?
Now here is game changer.
Flip flop between them some more, but this time taking away existing content to whatever gender character and sprinkling 'content' to keep the money invested in the game.

Good job, you successfully became a person who scams your patrons without releasing suitable content and keep milking gullible idiots for 5K+. Pat yourself on the back.


v0.4.10 Minor

Still dogshit. Mia content completely gutted from prior versions besides some fetish club stuff and then a single quest with repair girl that was in earlier versions I believe. No more bunny rape. No more yoga. No more Gym. No more movie shoot. No more Strip Club. Mia content GUTTED.

Vehicle physics is dogshit. Oh snap, woopie fucking do, we can now drive around in vehicles with shit driving that feels more like the vehicle is 'skating' the fucking road than driving.

Removal of save option. Well, you better off using the cheat command to bring of menu to get to scenes.

Sex scenes lacking sound. Fuck, really? Some have it and some are just completely silent.

A waste of 11GB download less you want to use cheat to get a few scenes. Lmfao. 11GB game with a few selective scenes, no save option anymore, and still focused mainly on male MC for story along with poor vehicle physics.

The game loop consists of:
1. Errand boy quests. Talk to an NPC > go to a location
2. Read a little bit of an uninteresting VN dialogue
3. Rinse and repeat

The game keeps getting worse every update

For some unknown reason, the game is now a VN + Driving simulator:
Yes, I mean static images with a badly designed free roam mode.

I don't get the point of the free roam mode, since you can't interact with the NPCs on the streets and the map feels very uninteresting despite being very big.

The sex scenes look good, but there are few.
Girls look 6/10, body 8/10

pros:
-Good graphics
-Good looking characters
-Okay sex scenes
-Small character customization

Cons:
-Tedious quests
-Sex scenes are mediocre and has no controls despite the game being a sandbox game
-You have to save the game in the house which is kind of annoying

overall I think the game has style but no substance.

Constant flip flop of what the game is supposed to be. Many people were happy with the female character, then they decided to go back to the male with very little content. The female character was fleshed out and had some engaging content, and now were left with a pretty barebones experience.

Game has amazing character models(especially girls) and hot scenes.
BUT
It also has so many serious bugs that'll make you kill the game via task manager. You'll lose all of your progress if you haven't saved. That alone kills all the motivation to play the game imo. Those bugs needs to be fixed because it has the potential to be a great adult game with an actual plot.

Real Life Sunbay 0.3.2

This game has really nice graphics. It's a 3D environment where you can move your character around using the WASD keys, cam around with your mouse, and even drive cars. It's also a large open world with moving NPCs and traffic. It's very interesting, to say the least. I would give the game 5 stars, but I was annoyed by the bugs early in the game and because I couldn't figure out how to save in Play Story mode. However, I later played the game on Sandbox mode and it seems to be exactly the same as Play Story mode and it lets you save. I was going to give the game 4 stars then, but then I encountered 50 billion more game breaking bugs. I was ready to give up and uninstall the game, when someone posted the cheat code for 0.3.2. It's CTRL + SHIFT + Q. I was going to give the game a generous 2 stars because of the cheats. But in the end, I couldn't do it. I have to give this game 1 star. Even with the cheats, this game is unplayable. How can I play when I can't even see what is happening and there are two or three different events and dialogues playing at the same time? I am uninstalling this game now. Below is some feedback and bugs that I wanted to share with the game developer Tom, but I'm not a patron and I don't know what his Discord is.


Feedback - I tried the Sandbox Mode for a few minutes and every single female in the game looked the same. All brunettes with the same body type, outfits, and skin tan. They actually all look like the same Honey Select female with two or three different hair styles. I wish that there was more variety, like different ages, body types, skin tones, and some blondes and redheads.

Feedback - After the shower, Amelia wanted me to go see her college friend and then take me to the clothing store. I thought that it was weird to be shopping so late at night when it is pitch black. I know that major beach cities have a lot of entertainment places that open late, but I don't think that any clothing stores are open that late. I did start the game over a second time and I skipped all of the conversations and just rushed through the game, but it was still night time around the time that I left the clothing store. I think that it gets dark way too early on the first day. New players should have more time to get through the events so they can shop while it is still daylight out.

Feedback - It would be nice if the game told you what the controls are. I had no idea that CTRL + SHIFT + J pulled up the Journal (Characters and Quests).

Feedback - The Journal menu (Characters and Quests) is too small. I had difficulty reading the tiny text.

Feedback - I wish that there was a way to see the dialogue history in case you accidentally skip some dialogue.

Feedback - I wish that you could use the Spacebar to forward the dialogue. I don't like using my right hand to left click on the mouse. I prefer using my left hand to press the Spacebar.

Feedback - I wish that when not in a dialogue screen that we could use the Spacebar to jump over and on top of things. It would make the game so much more fun.


Bug - I purchased some clothes and bought Carolina an energy drink, and I still couldn't figure out how to save the game. When I went to my bed, it let me sleep until morning, evening, and night. But it didn't save the game. There is no spinning Save icon in the bedroom like there is in Sandbox mode. I completed a few more quests after that, but I still couldn't save the game. UPDATE: I later played in Sandbox mode, and I was wearing the same clothes that I purchased in Play Story mode. And Sandbox mode lets me save my progress and continue my game. So I think that new players should just only use Sandbox mode and forget about Play Story mode.

Bug - When I purchased a shirt, shorts, and shoes at the store and left the store, for some reason I was wearing my stained shirt over my new shirt. But then in the dialogue cutscene with Amelia (and later on with other people), I was only wearing the new shirt. After the dialogue cutscene ended, I was back to wearing two shirts again. I went home and immediately went to the wardrobe and tried putting on only the clothes that I wanted, and still the stained shirt was on the outside of the shirt that I was wearing. I slept till the next day and still had the stained shirt on the outside of my real shirt. UPDATE: The clothes appear correctly in Sandbox mode and you can save in Sandbox mode, so I would not ever play Play Story mode. Just use Sandbox mode instead.

Bug - I chose not to take a picture of Carolina but later on she asked me to delete the photo I took and I was given the option to delete it.

Bug - I was on the beach with Carolina and some sex scene suddenly popped up. I tried the two different POV's and then tried to press Spacebar to go back into 360 view, but I couldn't because there was a sex scene menu with only two choices - Handjob and Exit. I tried to exit out of that menu, but left clicks and right clicks did nothing. When I clicked Handjob, nothing happened. When I clicked Exit, it exited the entire sex scene so I didn't get to see what the sex story was about.

Bug - A lot of moving NPC vehicles jump, fly, and roll around for no reason. They physics needs to be improved some so that slow moving vehicles always stay on the streets and don't go flying 50 feet in the air.

Bug - I think that it is weird that the female passenger walks up to the driver's door, opens it, but the passenger door opens up instead and then she enters the passenger door through the driver's door. This could be improved, I think. It only happens when the female approaches the car from the driver's side of the vehicle.

Bug - After taking Carolina "training", she wasn't there when I left the training room. I drove home and there were two Carolinas there, one in each chair on the terrace, and two blue "C's" on the radar. I slept till night, and there were still two Carolinas. I slept till morning, still two Carolinas. UPDATE: If you save the game and then load the save, this bug will be fixed and there will only be one Carolina.

Bug - When I visited Olivia's house after meeting her, I encountered some game breaking bugs that forced me to uninstall the game. For example, when I talked to the mom, the first part of the dialogue is "Excuse me, does Olivia live in this house?" But that message doesn't go away. So you see overlapping dialogue on top of the "Excuse me, does Olivia live in this house?" Even after I finished talking to the mom, that dialogue was still on the screen. I tried running to my apartment and saving the game, but as soon as I tried to Quit it wouldn't let me because the dialogue box was in the way. I was forced to Alt + F4 out of the game. Later, the same thing happened when talking to Olivia. The first part of her dialogue was "I'm so glad that you're back!" But that dialogue stays there forever and any new dialogue overlaps the "I'm so glad that you're back!" Then the two girls told me that it was getting hot and they made a show of taking off their clothes, but in the game I could still see them wearing the same clothes. It wasn't until Olivia had me talk to her outside of the room that she appeared topless. I had bought two whiskeys and three mojo energy drinks before the event. After I gave them one whiskey, Olivia asked for some more. I wanted to get rid of the dialogue boxes so I saved the game and loaded my save. But when I did that, the game told me that I didn't have any whiskeys or energy drinks. I thought maybe the game reset my quest progress and that I would start off with $2000 that I had before I bought the drinks, but I only had $931 left which meant that I lost around $600 for one whiskey and two mojo energy drinks. I bought another whiskey and mojo energy drink with the small amount of cash that I had left, but when I went back to Olivia the bugs were even worse. It showed the whole "I'm so glad that your' back" dialogue and the two girls sitting on the floor scene. But another scene with the two girls in bed was playing at the same time and I couldn't see that new scene. The bugs just got worse and worse from there. Even when I used the cheat to give myself $50,000, the game was completely unplayable for me. So in the end, I had to uninstall this game and warn people away with a 1 star rating. It would be so great if Tom fixed these bugs. If he ever does, I'll bump the game back up to 5 stars and install the latest version of the game. EDIT: I considered becoming a patron so I could join his Discord, but then I saw that he had around 700 patrons and an income of $6,000 a month. With that many people in his Discord, there is no reason he shouldn't already be aware of these bugs. So yeah, I'm not going to waste my time. Also, something is telling me that I should steer clear and not get involved with him. No idea why my gut is telling me that. It's a shame because I find myself thinking of this game a lot and I wish that I could play it.

Screenshot of three bugs that I found when I first started playing the game in Play Story mode:

Really enjoyed playing the first release of this game, the trailer, gameplay, and animations were great for a first release.

I don't exactly know what happened but something changed in development and now this game is all over the place.

From first being a "college student" male mc to a female mc and then back to a male mc and now both. then cut content and removed animations.

The animations and graphics are nice but you cant even develop a liking for this game because ever update something changes completely. The development for this game is a mess.

this game was meh, and its only redeeming quality was the fact that you could play as a girl. I havent played in awhile because the game itself wasnt being updated, or the updates were small. I come back now after I see a huge update to see that its a male character. The only reason this game stood out was because it was a female PC. make her the main focus again

Garbage.

Played the first version way back. Decided to give the game another try after months.

Somehow it has less content than the first version. Ran around town and there were no NPCs. I remember that there were before in a previous version. Nothing to do.

Writing is bad.
The 1 mission is bad. Drive around town for no reason.

The only good is the intro with a well animated scene. Months of work patreon bucks just for that? Lmao

This game has potential, but it is missing so much. Almost no music, many sound effects are missing and those that are there aren't really well included.

Collision is a bit weird.
It is still pretty buggy and much content is not finished.
The sex scenes are always with the same two techniques either hit space in time or look out for sth to change action. It is boring and simple. At least you have free cam in every scene but then there are also only 3 animations per scene. The glory hole scene in the empire club was great but also bit weird to controll.

The walking and interaction system is unusual. You have to aim in order to see your curser with that you can actually interact with e but only when you are not aiming and so this bugs out sometimes.

And if you consider the creation time I don't think that we will see anything playable within 10 years. The map is great but thats almost it
